U.S. Government Stages Fake Coup To Wipe Out National Debt

[cl1mbat1ze]

Wai--- what? Norwegian national anthem music?

[JJMMKK1997]

He's the FDA guy! :D

btw, this is a good idea...

[orrgla]

PROBABLY PRESIDENT BARACK "HUSSEIN OSAMA'S" IDEA!!

[DrSwNemo]

@orrgla Not sure if troll or stupid.

[orrgla]

@DrSwNemo HOW DARE YOU, YOU LIBTARD YOUR THE ONE WHOS A STUPID TROLL!!

[DrSwNemo]

@orrgla Okay.

[phdan123]

@DrSwNemo I think you just got your question answered

[atomisten]

FROM WHEN DOES ONION GETS SO MUCH MONEY TO MAKE THIS LOOK SO REAL AND FUNNY :D

[murf69]

0:50, laugh every time!

[GanjaJokke]

lol 1:55 "Creator of "Hannah Montana" says entire show is a metaphor for aids"

[awesomesolo]

The people who write this shit deserve oscars. And a fucking medal of honor.

[drjonasson19]

@awesomesolo Don't forget the nobel prize. In literature and chemistry

[anonplanz]

Just stop using money. There are other more intelligent ways to manage man. If money buys access to resources, who owns all the resources? Are resources running out? If so , why do we keep cyclically using them? Could it be that placing a value on something other than natural resources, as a conduit for trading, has set up a slavery system? Where by people have become dependent on cyclical never ending labor to stay warm at night? Have we really gotten this far?

[badgerattoadhall]

@anonplanz watch zietgiest one too many times yeah?

[anonplanz]

@badgerattoadhall Yes I have seen it. But this concept was there way before peter joseph. Let's try.. hmm.. The Second Treaties of Civil Government, John Locke, 1690 on ownership for starters. All the unnatural pain you feel in your life, is a direct result of your environment, created by granting permission for men to hoard and own more than they can ever use in a million life times. He owns you. And you let him.

[Enkan666]

00:52 Epic laughter!

[Pusenminsin]

Hey, Octavia uses the Norwegian national anthem!

[NexDemise]

Still more credible than fox 'news'.

[2020starman]

lol obama added 5 trillion to debt 

[arecd]

@2020starman You cant make money without spending money... >.>

[2020starman]

@arecd yea..whats the problem then ?

[arecd]

@2020starman the fucking Republicians plan on reversing every act he has passed once his term is over, which will make all the money hes has spent go in vain.

All the healthcare, Tax Reforms, Job programs, everything that was supposed to go active in 2013 will be either suspended or reformed.

[2020starman]

@arecd HMM... Think its more like a bi partisan effort to destroy America ... Political and corporate greed

[spacer125]

Seems legit.

[jayg07]

Iran would believe this

[SuperWarking]

You know, I had a rough day at work, came home and put this on and first time I actually smiled today :)

[Manadox97]

What's the Latin on the Octavian seal mean?

[qetuo1000]

@Manadox97 we will go your way under my feet.

[insaninater]

fucking BRILLIANT!!!

[fr0nage]

Bloody genius!

[Jevon177]

Lol. Love the Guardian headline. So true..

[LolCaramelz]

[BBPatterson12]

[VoodooKush]

These guys are an unstoppable force

[BTeamFilm]

[feckadoodlethe2nd]

I wanted this to be real :(

[TheYouwontgetit]

[icbeodragon]

ALL HAIL OCTAVIA!

[markoran1111222]

"Pretend to be Canada" made me laugh.

[chungxingseoul]

Please send a cop^y of this video to OBAMA , every member of congress, the FED, and FBI- Don't forget our beloved Attorney General E.Holden.They would be stupid enough to use this .

[batman2105]

I stood up during the National Anthem.

[polske322]

Or we could like, say fuck you we own nukes and forget we ever had debt in the first place.

[MaricaAmbrosius]

And Octavia's national anthem is… the Norwegian national anthem????

[scottg4520]

Welcome to Atlanta, Georgia, Canada.

[rocknotes]

YOU SPELLED ANAL WRONG IN THE TITLE OF THE VID.

[Rajyrr]

Uuuugh .. that Octavius guy is such a dick to Canadians. He makes fun of our North American Free trade Agreement!

[plommon90]

That woman is hot as fuck

[coyotedkm]

This is a good idea.  Lets do it!

[TheGreaterGood80]

Hey, at least Octavia has cheaper tuition rates for students than America ever had

[Zionistwatcher]

we should try this in ireland ..after all we have the I.R.A

[scottg4520]

That is Noraway's theme

[morrismagic08]

I bet the bastards would pull it off too! lol..

[ahaetulla]

No! They're ruining it! Someone from outside the country might see this news report!

[J88Wolf]

Welcome to Jonesboro, Arkansas, Canada! :D

[vtownhood]

Comment removed by U.S. government.

[7aneris7]

french workers strike for better striking conditions~

[Kakerot4141]

aw man! we coulda had sandworms? I wouldn't mind a few years of fascist dictatorship if it would give me access to all that Shai'Hulud has to offer.

THE SPICE MUST FLOW!

[MRTEL7777]

OCTAVIA HAS A LOT OF JOBS TOO.

[corky064]

Argh! I'm so sick of those roving Octo-Squads!

[bond0072323]

Octavius was recently identified as being Deputy FDA Commissioner Steve Hoyer. He was intent on restoring healthy eating habits to "fat faced" Americans.

[Nemetz222]

The anthem is Norwegian.

[unktzor]

OPEN YOUR MIND(S)-----------------------­->

wars, atomic bomb,collapse of the world wide economic system, uncontrollabe riots (london), revolutions (the arab revolutions of 2011) terrorist attacks(oslo/wtc), government who "controls" human mind and everything around, chernobyl, fukushima, katrina, ike ,sri lanka (2006), eathquakes, floods, drought, deaths of sadam/bin laden, ufo's, inflation, opening universal consciousness, depletion of earth, AND SO ON!

[murf69]

Would not surprise me at all if the US did this.

[TheArchon1]

This is one of my favorite Onion vids

[nomadballer93]

LONG LIVE OCTAVIUS!

[sakemaki]

I was just eating fried duck when I saw the special fx of the explosion of the parliament and almost chocked to death. xp

[gio957]

Brilliant

[wwwtotalitaerde]

My brother Markus Bott had been tortured during five and a half years by the German BND, which is the former GESTAPO. I recorded more than 100 videotapes which ended up in the legal system. My brother was tortured during 1.5 years despite several legal procedures pending. Markus Bott was assassinated on July 11th 2009 because of our homepage, linked on my channel, and our book Der Totalitäre Staat. If my homepage disappears, the BND will have assassinated me as well.

Martin Bott

[TheMegaLumpi]

wait. 1:21 The guy behind Octavius. Is that a Stormtrooper?

[thegreath8r]

best ideas:

Pretend to be canada

war w/ rich country

and Sandworms!!

[shadowC10ne]

Try it.

[Paeremannen]

I like the new National Anthem. Sounds strangely familiar though.

[pashun88]

@Paeremannen Sounds a lot like Norway's anthem.

[farneyblakeley]

Nice blouse Andrea :)

[Magni56]

@JamesonSmirnoff

The Fed is the same as the treasury?

... please stop commenting. Please. It's painfully clear that you have no real idea about the topic. As for the Fed being secretive: Only to those with no clue on the topic. Guess what? Economics are complicated if you're not educated on the subject. That's not the Feds fault. Also, please stop repeating inane conspiracy theories.

[Magni56]

@JamesonSmirnoff

And every cent of the profit the Fed makes STILL goes to the treasury. Also, learn something about inflation, because your statement makes no fucking sense whatsoever.

[Magni56]

@JamesonSmirnoff

Cool story. Also, it's another idiotic myth with no actual evidence whatsoever. Fact is, the Fed is controlled and supervised by Congress and any profit it makes goes directly to the treasury.

[olatrials]

Octavia stole the Norwegian national anthem...

[Magni56]

@JamesonSmirnoff

Which banks. They don't exist. The Fed is controlled by Congress. And it mkaes exactly ZERO dollars each year as any profit the Fed makes is automatically transferred to the treasury. PLease learn something about goddamn economics before spreading these inane conspiray theories.

[GunRyd3r]

@JamesonSmirnoff no we *cough* I mean they aren't doing that. That would be stupid...

[Stinkywookiee]

The way that congressman gets shot at 1:09 is PRICELESS

[Swkoll]

I support disguising the country as Canada.

[Crymson1]

DO NOT EVEN TRY TO COLLECT FUNDS OWED!!!

[swimteamizzle1114]

This is like, the best idea ever

[GregTom2]

I'm gonna do this with Canada...

exept that it's gonna be real, and I will instaure and annarcho-comunist extremist governement through a revolution.

I swear it's gonna be pretty awsome.

Oh yeah, and I will kick out Alberta too, and Stephen Harper will be exiled.

[megamantwelve]

....Is it kinda sad that I think this might actually work...? Nah....

[jack101564]

lol burning down the country for the insurance money... well at least this congress HAS a plan

[flip117100]

lmao burn down the us and collect the insurance data

[BeyondtheChaos1]

....not a bad idea actually........

-President Barak Obama

[tormentedabebe]

Haha, Octavia and Norway apparantly have the same national anthem^^

[JamieMillwall]

GOD BLESS OCTAVIA!!!

[yellowcougar18]

At 0.27- I want answers, does Sarkozy really hate the French?

Or just French Dogs?

[jkoupi]

@yellowcougar18 Sarkozy hates everyone.



[yellowcougar18]

@jkoupi Even Sarkozy?

[jkoupi]

@yellowcougar18 yes.



[prjerry7]

our national debt per capita in 1949 was much higher then what it is today.

[alchemistxp2]

Damn! they should have tried the Sand Worms!

[theguyfromplt]

"Someone save the records of our debts!" LAWLZ

[m0kkaleiavbrukernavn]

hahaha, why the hell do you use the norwegian anthem as th octavian anthem? made me lol as a norwegian at least.

the song is called "ja vi elsker" (yes we love [this country])

funny vid tho

[Khalis33]

What funny here is that the octavian leader keeps emphasisng on the debt being wiped out.... foreign countries definitely can see something is amiss here hahahah

[ozeiaoliveirainacio1]

my good!!!

[TheVampireLucinda]

This is hilarious ! I love that the coup is the best idea...

[KDN888]

my country (Trinidad and Tobago) is right now hosting a commission of enquiry into a coup that happend in 1990 (yes 20 years ago). This has me thinking about that coup's intentions...

[DINGDONGDANIEL3]

"Baby given 78 years to live"

Lol

[xURSCREWED299x]

@18T220 And start World War III in the process?

[SJJGautham08]

LOL the Norwegian national anthem.

[TheGreaterGood80]

I think burning down our entire nation would be a bit extreme. How about we cause a black out, ransack and rob several cities, and THEN claim we were robbed and collect insurance?

[18T220]

I think the US sould nuke the countrys its in the most debt to, could work.

[Dejeunerification]

Good plan to get rid of US dept

[AndyAce83]

Norwegian national anthem!

[PhantomTD]

@AndyAce83 haha, yeah!

[Jurassic0Al]

Shit, we *should* pretend to be Canada.

[iseecheese]

the intro audio is too loud

[GodlessViking]

I think this is a really good idea.

[AtomicLiliRetroValfa]

...It's not the worst idea we've ever had.

[Yourebuying]

Ironic for its inherent plausibility.

[kohuded]

OCTAVIA STOLE NORWAY'S NATIONAL ANTHEM, THEY MUST PAY!

[TheInFormer500]

@kohuded No dude no one cares if its norways anthem, if it was the danish one on the other hand that would hve been a crisis

[lordlong]

spending cuts?! that's insane!! who brought up such a ludicrous idea?!?!

[Trickndel]

Hahah! The anthem of Octavia is part of the Norwegian national anthem xD

All hail Octavia!

[senhorengenheiro]

i will tell my country.

[alahandro1969]

All hail Octavia

[MATTACK420]

SOMEONE SAVE THE RECORD OF OUR DEBTS! *faints*

[themass109]

octavia octavia octavia fvck yea

[The11colek]

@addiebauneww

But how is it possible to pay back anything on 40$ a year

that seems like grade a bullshit

[Bertoffski]

@addiebauneww

that's the rejection hotline isn't it

[NeonAttack027]

It is the 2nd part of the first verse of "Ja, Vi Elsker". I had a really nice laugh at this since my great-grandfather emigrated to Northern Iowa from Norway. My mom and her brothers/sisters knew the Norwegian National Anthem well. The Onion does a good job of getting me to laugh :-)

[MarieHolestad]

That was actually the beginning of "Ja vi elsker" the Norwegian anthem. Way to go Onion

[theatheisticlown]

Baby given 78 years to live....aw that's so sad :'(

[80019317]

Ha! Americans! Your government is no longer a government for the people. Your soldiers are now dying for you? NOT, your soldiers fought a war in Ira Q FOR WHAT for more oil? Your military doesn't fight for the people anymore but, for the cartel banks and the corporations. But keep typing, i heard words are deadlier then bullets. lol.. You Americans are so IGNORANT and naive you vote on laws that you never even bother reading. your a sad case America

[TheGreaterGood80]

@80019317 "our" government? "our" military? "our" soldiers? Your profile says you're from the US.

[APlike2skate]

@80019317 i live in america and i absolutly agree with you.

[pauluminous]

Lol, history any1?

This is basically what they did back in '71 when they took the bretton woods system and whipped their asses with it.

[animenice]

"Baby given 78 years to live."

[Tippy2forU]

Here is an idea. Get rid of the damn Federal Reserve. Hello!

[gwengoadalso]

[7255202]

@EyeHeartElliottSmith The spice must flow!

[1973mazdarx4coupe]

[JCF22Lyoko]

"Someone save the record of our debts!"

[DKshad0w]

I think this is a great fiscal policy.

[prophetchannel]

WTF?? HAHA! That is part of the national anthem of my country (Norway).

[SierraM363]

Coup chosen after cutting spending, mass amnesia plan called 'not realistic'.

@2:19 "baby given 78 years to live"

[scopes777]

[kdraper2007]

Oh No! Don't give Obama & his mob ideas like this, they may take it seriously. they always duck responsability.

[jahlinem]

XD: Someone save the records of our debts.
