A Brief Honest Look at US Democracy

[dbootsthediva]

Well at 30 seconds that sort of looks like a variation of Altus but more like the UAV

Warrior (Predator was its prototype) Manufacturer General Atomics And at 36 gosh from the bottom I can't tell but I think it might be a variation of maybe its the F/A 18 Super Hornet or the other variant that goes by the name of Growler

 What's with the bells ringing? You do know that type of sound creates an echo of a signal pathway to follow don't you?

[DrKenHildebrandt]

All I know is when they handed me the microphone, the twelve o'clock bell started ringing. I thought it best to stop, but they said I was doing fine & asked me to keep going.

[dbootsthediva]

So you had never made a speech at that place before? You had absolutely no idea the bells tolled on each hour?

[DrKenHildebrandt]

No, and no.

That's one of the few speeches I've ever giving in my entire life, and the only one in which I've had a microphone. Having just arrived a moment earlier, I had no idea that I was below a bell tower until a split second after I was handed the mike.

The bell tolled for most of my speech, the rest of which is transcribed in my book, which is accessible from the site listed under my pic, in Chapter 1.

Five years hence, I wish what I had stated was known by enough to matter.

[uturniaphobic]

I've been thinking about this issue for some time.

I think if we people just keep voting out the incumbents in EVERY election, fed. state, local. just keep flushing .. make term limits ONE TERM ...no time to get too cozy with lobbyists.

[Shamagogue]

Akin to the definition of insanity, the hallmark of entrenched but marginalized movements is that they continue to pursue exactly the same strategy and tactics that have failed to produce solid results. *** There is just monumental disinterest among the dominant culture, political establishment and the broad public that is far more engaged with other issues, problems and movements.

[DrKenHildebrandt]

Thanks for your well thought out posting. I agree, and the other issues they're engaged in are not getting at the roots of anything big in almost all instances. Until we change how we pick the people who direct foreign and domestic policies, we won't see a change in either one.

The key is to inform others on how to go about getting at the roots, i.e., elections. If you can't vote, you can still inform.

[thedave108]

The touchstone issue is still 911. Let Noam get on board if he wants credibility. Parotting what's readily been available from the likes of David Icke, Black Box Voting and others isn't news. Yeah, it's great he chimed in, now that Bush is out of power. Where was he during those 8 years?

[DrKenHildebrandt]

"Where was he during those 8 years?"

Well, for one thing, his footage in this video was recorded in January of 2008. What's contained in this video isn't 'parroted' from anyone. When I drove all over the nation covering elections, I never saw David Icke, and "Black Box Voting" is about as far from this video as can be. This video strikes at the roots, "Black Box Voting" is about which puppet of two can get the final pull, which doesn't amount to even breaking off a twig.

[OlymPigs2010]

This video offered absolutely NOTHING new that the majority of the public didn't already know about the total corporate (Wall St.) control of the US Govt!!! The U.S.public knows all these things but steadfastly refuses to do anything to change the "war mongering" corporate-status quo!

[DrKenHildebrandt]

Oh yeah, everybody knows this. That's why I drove over 7000 miles for the content of this video, and over 95% voted for their own demise. If everybody knew this we'd be living in a different world. We're not.

[Narwal88]

The video is very interesting. Chomsky is great, Nader is great. Edgar Mitchell, however, is known as a crackpot who spews various nonsensical "conspiracy theories" about aliens. Not a good way to end such an interesting video.

[DrKenHildebrandt]

In my opinion Nader flopped, answering only part of such a pointed question with a defeated voice, as if the media had already won the election. He didn't even touch the topic of this video, though handed to him on a silver platter in a room full of journalists.

Dr. Mitchell, an MIT graduate like Noam, doesn't talk about "conspiracy theories." He talks about government and media censored accounts of reality. If he's known as a "crackpot," that's because reality isn't known.

[Narwal88]

I suggest you google Mitchell and UFO's... you'll see plenty of crackpot ideas about UFO's, Roswell, being visited by aliens.

He is a crackpot. This has nothing to do with how publicized his ideas are. The man is a nutjob.

[DrKenHildebrandt]

I, in turn, suggest you do some research about both Dr. Edgar Mitchell and Roswell, but please don't limit yourself to Google, yet another elite enterprise.

As far as Roswell, it once held the largest nuclear arsenal in the world. There have been over a hundred witnesses who've shared their testimonies about various aspects of what happened, some high ranking military personnel. Mitchell joins the ranks of your own former Minister of Defense, Paul Hellyer, of whom I also have footage.

[DrKenHildebrandt]

Not that it matters, but Hellyer joined the ranks of Mitchell, not the other way around. One can do a search on the ABC radio broadcast from July 07, 1947, about the crash in Roswell, and ponder whether the powers that be really make mistakes like that, as they've asked the public to believe for all these decades. Our primitive society has already sent a probe into space. Surely a more advanced one would have greater capabilities.

[Goohuman]

Regarding your issue, Kenny, what evidence did you present to support your claim that elections are rigged? It's not that I disagree with you per se, but lets not settle for pointing fingers and calling names. Lets see some actual points.

[DrKenHildebrandt]

I never used the word, "rigged," and didn't call anyone names. The elections are openly fraudulent, as per the video.

[KentAllard]

why would you need to rig something thats between Business Candidate #1 and Business Candidate #2? True they represent different elements of the business world, but its not a difference to warrent such effort.

[DrKenHildebrandt]

Exactly, the puppeteers fund both sides, with Democrats "feeding at the corporate trough," as 2002 Green Party US Senate candidate Ted Glick said, oftentimes more so than the Republicans I've found.

With few exceptions, both party's leaders run arm in arm with the military-corporate complex, which of course includes the media.

No matter what media endorsed candidate wins, we lose, and I mean all of us, whether in Australia, the US, or anywhere else on Planet Earth.

[Goohuman]

Your vid is of a global warming promoter and questions about hemp use make no point. A politician that got cut out of the debates? I've got better. Nader was nearly arrested when he showed up to debate.

But that is media coverage bias. That is not election fraud. Do you know of any actionable crimes regarding elections? That would be worth looking into.

[DrKenHildebrandt]

I wrote and posted about the Nader incident you mentioned back in early October of 2000, a copy of which is in the book on this subject I've written.

Sure it's media bias, and it's also fraudulent as a nation that's forcefully spreading "democracy."

[Goohuman]

The media bias is what you are calling "election fraud"? The media is run on money. The media is a tool. The real culprits are the ones manipulating coverage.

As far as "forcefully spreading 'democracy'", I do not see how we could do that. Its a system run by people and they all have to vote on it. Would you prefer they stick with dictators?

[DrKenHildebrandt]

Well, Goohuman, we finally agree about something, "The real culprits are the ones manipulating coverage," as per the video and my efforts since 2000.

[KentAllard]

you dont believe in global warming? I suppose its some sort of rotten liberal conspiracy to destroy America

[Goohuman]

I believe in freedom. I believe we should never stop learning. I believe anyone trying to stop learning is hiding something. I believe emotion is a powerful influencer and makes poor logic.

I don't believe more taxation will solve ANY problems except governments justifications for spending, and peoples justifications for reform.

You?

[KentAllard]

cool story bro

[KentAllard]

DrKenHildebrandt why do your videos attract the crazies?

[jakiner]

Election fraud is only a problem when the media portrays it a problem. Media forms our opinions for us so apparently fraud is only a problem when it doesn't serve the best interests of U.S corporations. Meanwhile, you can only imagine how much better our tax dollars would be spent under Kucinich, RonPaul, or Nader than under Bush, Gore, or Obama.

[DrKenHildebrandt]

We have our own media capable of being spread to the masses. A newscast is repeated, but not over months, this video, and other concise informative videos, can be spread over weeks or months or more. We can't rely on the MM, you're right about that, but if enough people put forth the effort to spread a handful or two irrefutable truths, well then the truth just might become known by enough to matter. If not it won't. Thanks for posting.

[Goohuman]

Well the comments section speaks volumes. Noam played to the extreme left and now the extreme left thinks he lied to them.

I have news for all of you. OF COURSE HE LIED! He wasn't working with facts in the first place. I am guessing fame or money was his motivation. Now the hate is dieing down and he just has his deciet to rest on.

You made your bed Noam. Now LIE your way out of it.

[DrKenHildebrandt]

I think this video, which was filmed in Texas, Iowa, Massachusetts, Virginia and Maryland, speaks volumes. What do you think about the video, specifically? Are bogus elections and the ramifications of same important or not?

[macdaddi88]

well said, bra....hes just a jewish laft gatekeeper.....and liar - like u said....noam says - " it doesnt matter if 9/11 was a lie"..... "USA control isreal"...... WTF ? ! he's full of shit..... ha ha

[DrKenHildebrandt]

Is there anything you don't understand about this video? I hope you realize that as the oppressed fight one another the elite are laughing at us.

[macdaddi88]

i know that, doc....! lol....but the jews /neo cons/ zionists oppress ALL the worker / middle class.... : )

[KentAllard]

these guys aren't leftists, these guys are troofers. Troofers are far-right.

[Goohuman]

What are you replying to? You think people that believe we bombed ourselves to go to war are far-right? Do you know how rediculous that sounds?

The fact is the truthers supported Noam until he 'dismissed' them. Now they are turning on him. I guess that is why you want to brand them as 'far-right'. Either way your Noam love fest is falling apart.

Just stick to the facts. It works for me.

[ryanshaunkelly]

Wall Street Art students 9/11 snow job Chicken hawks Moving company Propaganda media DNC stealth neocons Anti-semitism accusers The chosen the superior 2-3% of the US population Extortion blackmail bribery By deception ye shall wage war AIPAC's Israel-first dual-nationals For profit NotFederal NoReserve scam Words are plentiful deeds are precious!

[macdaddi88]

GREAT fuckin post, ryan !!!

[ozzsihing]

I don't know why ... but I just want to slap Chomsky in the face. And that's a rare thing for me. That monotone voice ... debating crap that doesn't matter. Noam has become a gnome. Sorry to all his fans ... but I just can't stand him.

[DrKenHildebrandt]

We have unfair elections in the US, and this has worldwide ramifications. What's that got to do with whether or not you like Noam Chomsky? I don't get it.

[macdaddi88]

ha ha....ur RIGHT....! his voice - i NEVER saw anyone mention that......the monotone mumbling.....! from a linguistic professor.....? lol.....hes just a jewish laft gatekeeper.....ill take norm finklestein ANYDAY.... noam says - " its doesnt matter if 9/11 was a lie".....!!?! "USA control isreal"......!!!! ? !? WTF,......? ! ha ha

[DrKenHildebrandt]

What you've written has nothing to do with this video. You realize, I hope, that the others are winning as you help create infighting amongst the oppressed.

[macdaddi88]

well - i hope YOU realize, sir, that the gov't wins , if WE sit and watch ALL the videos of a jewish windbag everyday - instead of working a plan of positive action....? ! ha ha....is this jewish shill saying ANTHING that damn special Dr. Ken,,,? just write me a private email and explain the clip...fu*k noam , brother : )

[DrKenHildebrandt]

In my opinion, he almost certainly fuels hatred with such speech, thus diminishing the chances for a peaceful solution. People are people. All human beings alive on Planet Earth have a common ancestor out of Africa. There are decent people as well as jerks in all walks of life, though as "The Meathead," pointed out to "Arch," in, All in the Family, decades ago, to judge any grouping based on the actions of a few is absurd.

[COUNTCARDULAR]

hmmm, chomsky controlled left wing .. hes beleiving the lies and propaganda too.. he doesnt even think it matters who did 9/11 and he dismisses the evidence for controlled demolition.. chomsky is a lost old hasbeen who is now irrelevant to the global situation..

[macdaddi88]

gatekeeper in other words....like amy goodman on the left....gleen beck / FOX on the right....both sides are GROSS

[DrKenHildebrandt]

Please comment about this video. Is US election fraud important or not?  Thanks.

[macdaddi88]

of course.....they are ol dnews....but bush/rove/jewish neo con scams from 2000 & 2004 have RUINED the USA 4 good......!!?!?!! : (

[DrKenHildebrandt]

No one has brought forth what's in this video. Somehow, you''ve missed the point. Wish I knew why.

[macdaddi88]

ok. , sir ..i'll finish the clip....but noam has LITTLE credibility b/c u defends zionism too often......he'll be critical , but then support isreal in general......i think we should put barbed wire around that shit hole....then l;et loose some rabid kittens loose in thaat country

[KentAllard]

so when she was witnessing the Dili Massacre and being beaten to a pulp by Indonesian soldiers and her partner there Allan Nairn had his skull fractured...

she was in fact gatekeeping?

[DrKenHildebrandt]

Are bogus elections in the US "irrelevant to the global situation?"

[shotdonkey]

noam chomsky used to be a person I held in high regard.

up to that fateful day that is when he declared that the possibility of 9/11 being an inside job was (quote) "irrelevant".

it was then that I realised that mr chomsky is a gatekeeper for the PTB and the fascist system currently being introduced in all western countries. mr chomsky has been allowed to speak out for all these years precisely because he is NO DANGER whatsover to the fascists and banksters that today run our very lives.

[KentAllard]

I love you guys, your "I used to respect chomsky, but now, blah, blah, blah, 9/11 TROOF!" always brings a smile to my face.

Its so maudlin and insincere, full of overwrought drama.

But the best part is how similar it is no matter how many different troofers say it.

Reading from a list of talking points maybe?

[VedicIntelligentsia]

Noam Chomsky's input totally discredited this video. The guy is a friggin gatekeeper. He even pushes the oficial story of 911. Fucking lying bastard.

[RealMenofValor]

I cant stand him or his arrogance.

[RevoltAgainstLies]

Chomsky has also erroneously categorized JFK's "monolithic and ruthless conspiracy" speech as one which referenced Soviet Communism, rather than the wider, deeper illuminati itself. Chomsky is clearly a duplicitous, conniving gatekeeper who's fooled many on the left...

[DrKenHildebrandt]

Your comment has nothing to do with the fact that our elections in the US are completely bogus and this comes at all our expense. What's JFK have to do with any of this?

[KentAllard]

Troofers love the "Camelot" myth. That everything was right and bright and dandy and JFK was going to start a shining society for man, and then these awful businessmen and southerners and cabals and foreigners took it all away.

Lets ask the indigenous population how accurate that is, you know the ones they wiped out?

[KentAllard]

The United States invaded South Vietnam, attacked South Vietnam, certainly no later than 1962. Thats when John F. Kennedy sent US Air Force to start bombing South Vietnamese villages, authorized the use of Napalm, sent American forces into combat situations, and so on. Thats an invasion.

[DrKenHildebrandt]

Former US Senator, Mike Gravel, who's in this video, read the Pentagon Papers in front of the US Senate, revealing the lies of three presidential administrations, as per the interview in my book. Him "they" censor, and the lemmings swallow it hook, line and sinker.

BTW, the rest of your post above was quite witty, I suppose it all was, it's just that the beginning, though amusing, isn't always true, and perhaps rarely is, unless I've no idea what "Troofers," are.

[RevoltAgainstLies]

'Troof' this, you hacks. JFK tried to out the powers behind the 'Anglo-American Establishment' that were/are running this country into the ground until they cut him off. Research Exec. Order 11110 and his antagonistic relationship with Dulles before slingin' the 'conspiracy theory' tripe as well, as we don't feel that stick anymore.

Another great video Ken, thanks.

[DrKenHildebrandt]

Thanks Mike!

[AndrewMann552]

Thanks for posting! Noam is a real truth warrior. I can't wait to read or hear whatever comments or analysis he releases on the Honduras coup.

[DrKenHildebrandt]

"Noam is a real truth warrior."

That's a great way of putting it. Thanks for your input, and your bravery for being the first of 150 plus to step forward and comment. I hope others realize how important that is, and how helpful too. We're all in this together. Only with mass effort will we ever get anywhere. Elections lie at the root of our collective ills. We can expect the media to stay as far away from this topic for as long as they can, since so much falls under this heading.

[caldude]

Truth warrior? Are you insane? He's the guy who said it doesn't matter if 911 was staged or allowed by rogue elements within our government. That was a major impetus for all the eroding freedoms since. Wake up!

[WRz101]

you have a point, however, the wars are still continuing, the US media is still *OWNED* and the majority of Americans are oblivious to the ill will they have generated over the last decade.

The problems caused by 911 to the rest of the world are many times larger in importance than the loss of US freedoms, after all, you guys voted him in TWICE.

However google " FEMA whistleblower. Kurt Sonnenfeld "

I would say your MEDIA is the biggest enemy.

[DrKenHildebrandt]

Re: "I would say your MEDIA is the biggest enemy. "

You hit the nail on the head with that statement, and of course people's apathy allows them to do it. This is where people both in and out of the States can help, by passing this important information on to as many as we can. The media will not report what they've hidden, obviously. Thanks for commenting.

[DrKenHildebrandt]

He signed the petition for the Jersey Widows. Last time I went to visit him I brought an article with me about one of the "hijackers," who turned up alive, but time did not permit discussion of same, at least not then. If the roots of terrorism were dealt with, then the powers that be wouldn't have been able to stage, or augment, the attacks on 9-11, because they wouldn't have had anyone to blame but themselves..

[AndrewMann552]

Freedoms here have been eroding since before 9/11. The idea the attacks were staged is pretty ridiculous considering Bush gained barely anything from it. Invading Iraq could have easily been done without the invasion, and the domestic laws passed or curtailed again, could have been done without staging such a mass incident. The US has system has been on the same course for decades, 9/11 never drastically changed anything, it was manipulated of course to advance plans which were already underway.

[DrKenHildebrandt]

On September 10, 2001 nearly every man, woman and child knew George W. Bush was a bumbling idiot, and a cruel one at that, but after the 11th it was, "Don't question, just follow the moron or you're not a patriot," and the lemmings lined up from one end of the country to the other. Without 9-11, the monster Bush and his puppeteers would've surely been far more contained, don't you think? Thanks for posting again.

[KentAllard]

AndrewMann you're not at all familiar with Woodrow Wilsons Red Scare or COINTELPRO are you?

[AndrewMann552]

Actually I am, but those were acts of repression which easily played on already established public fears. Wilson did not need to fake a bombing of the Capital dome.

[KentAllard]

Wilson played on an established feare of democracy? Well maybe among the business world

and COINTELPRO was secret from Eisenhower-Kennedy-Johnson-Nix­on until there was that break in at an FBI office in Pennsylvania

so I dunno what you're talking about

[AndrewMann552]

Again, COINTELPRO was secret, the government didn't need to carry out a mass public slaughter to initiate the operation. So again, Bush could have done what he did and more, without resorting to something on the scale of 9/11.

[KentAllard]

theres no comparison between the two, thats ludicrous. They're completely different acts.

And its not hard to see what the rationalisation was for the common FBI man doing COINTELPRO: "I'm taking down dirty commies trying to corrupt the USA" and that sort of thing.

Your comparison is meaningless. Its like those people who go "we could send a man to the moon, but we cant..." and insert whatever their particular complaint is.

[caldude]

The idea that Bin Laden did it is ridiculous considering the towers as well as tower 7 had to be prepared with charges that would turn them to dust...it was an inside job...no doubt whatsoever.

Wake up! The trends before 911 as well as 911 are all part of the global elite's evil agenda.

[caldude]

Truth warrior? Are you insane? He's the guy who said it doesn't matter if 911 was staged or allowed by rogue elements within our government. That was a major impetus for all the eroding freedoms since. Wake up!
