John Pilger's The two sides of Barrack Obama speech.

[Oskadella69]

Very well said Sir.

[pacificspotted]

WAKE THE FUCK UP PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA=BUSH=CLINTON=REAGAN

any idiots who think otherwise, or who are badmouthing Pilger PULL YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR ASSES!!!!!!!!!!

[thedanesaregreat]

Explains Why Both Right & Left are So angry.........

[zavi13]

Pilger is an irrelevant old communist - same old broken record repeating old marxist claptrap! The Marxist alternative to democracy and free speech is the gulag and mass murder.

[AceObrin]

@zavi13 Pilger is painting a picture of the our current "democracy." Wherein we find gulag and mass murder. Or is what we have already Marxism? If that's the case, what is Pilger railing against? Step outside the thought-prison and do some critical thinking of your own, without the useless labels that have been (very successfully) branded onto your atrophied brain!

[gvt2u]

All we can ever say is at least we didn't get John McCain and Sarah Palin. Sad, I know.

[themanishere4]

I meant house slave as Malcolm X would say!

[themanishere4]

Obama is a fraud and serves the interests of the imperialists only. In fact Obama is not even "black", Obama is half-white as his mother was a white woman named Ann Dunham. We need to speak facts. Obama has no ancestral links to slavery like most oppressed African-Americans. Obama is a modern Uncle Tom and house slaves as Malcolm X. Obama further is in the pocket of imperialist corporations like Goldman Sachs and others. Obama is a half-white Uncle Tom and that is it.

[Impeachthecriminals5]

A-w-e-s-o-m-e video! Is that why wakeymedia was suspended?

[Tischencko]

Illusionist!

[91177info]

@Tischencko There is always one :)

[Congest]

Pilger makes a good point about the multi-racial character of the Bush regime. The American left has GOT to move beyond identity politics and start talking about class again.

[manoman0]

"Hypnotist" is the right word....

[bogartzen]

PEACE PRICE TO US IMPERIALISM?

I DON´T THINK SO!

AND THE US PRESIDENT COMING TO

OSLO 12/10 TO BATHE IN GLORY?

SORRY, I REALLY DON´T THINK SO.

Ola B.

Oslo, Norway

[lethal1960]

america does not elect men who will oppose the elites that run your country.

they kill them

[manoman0]

well, naturally, any Elite would do that...

[Duobitdezo]

At 4:29 this guy said Obama lied about the Iraq war, saying we went to free the people. That was Bush, not Obama.

[TangoCharlie3]

Obama backed the Bush administration while he was just a senator. But when people started to go anti-war, he followed where the votes were. He has no opinion other than this health care reform. He's never had the courage to stand up for what needs to be done. He's flip floppy.

[Duobitdezo]

Your statement is vague. He admitted he voted for Afghanistan but not Iraq. He's standing up to the Dems when they told him to force a time able on Afghanistan and he said he won't budge. John McCain is flip floppy also but has helped improve this nation. People change their minds all the time so basically everyone flip flops and it doesn't really matter.

[TangoCharlie3]

I'm trying to point out that all Obama really tries to do is follow where he will get the most votes. He's not actually getting anything done right. You are supposed to follow what you said when running, not change every month. That's what I'm trying to say.

[Duobitdezo]

Every president has changed their opinions once in office because they acquire all the knowledge they didn't know before.

[TangoCharlie3]

Just watch and you'll see what happens. I'm predicting that Obama will change his views and actions every couple of months the entire time he's in office. Who knows, I might end up being wrong, but I'm willing to bet I won't be.

[Duobitdezo]

I don't care is he changes his views, I just want him to put our nation back on track to greatness. If we fix our schools, get rid of debt, and get out of the wars we'll be set to rule the next century with no problem.

Yea people are scared bout China and India but we have so much untapped potential it's not even funny.

[TangoCharlie3]

Haha, if that's all you're looking for out of Obama then I'm done arguing with yourself and will let the future show you what the rest of us see.

[Duobitdezo]

I'd rather wait and see what happens, like I did with Bush and Clinton. If Obama does the nation good we should be happy, if not make jokes about him like Bush.

[TangoCharlie3]

I'm against Obama but I consider it a win win situation, either I'm right with my instincts and he fails or I'm wrong and he actually helps the country. I'm against him because I don't think he will do the country any good, that's really all.

[Duobitdezo]

I'm glad u said that, it's nice to know they're are smart people who oppose him. I was gettin worried.

[TangoCharlie3]

Well thanks for that. I don't argue a point unless I have something intelligent behind it. Everyone sees things differently and I'm not seeing Obama in an optimistic way.

[szalam555]

"to greatness" jesus that's why I hate ordinary americans

[lethal1960]

wow you really believe that ?

hahaha you deserve the assole called obama and the last one called bush

[Duobitdezo]

How do I deserve Bush when I was in middle school when he was elected the first time.

I believe it because I've seen the video and I check up on the gov. Maybe you conservatives should seeing as how that last march you did was funded by a corporation. Liberals check on the gov and that how they know what to go after. Not crying because they lost and election and acting like little bitches.

[Badwolf182]

this is what a REAL journolists do

[AmericaFell]

Most of this I already knew,  but was never able to express it as this legendary corespondent does. Thanx for all you've done John. And thank you Jason, for the post... You really seem to work hard, and I certainly appreciate it.

[SpudXXXX]

An excellent exposure of Obama the deceiver. What matters above all 'is the class one serves'. Obama serves the NWO while mouthing double-speak.

[TodMcInerney]

Obama the deceiver ... I like that !!

[SpudXXXX]

Thanks T Mc I. I said 'deceiver' because I didn't want to use bad language.

Peace

[bearhamo]

Clinton, Vilsack, Summers, Geithner. Not exactly anti big corporation.

International bankers run my country.

[Badwolf182]

bear

thanx for share

LOVE Pilger! he is always right on the ball

[AliceStokesPaul]

Obama getting Monsanto evil into control of agriculture now. My god! Agent Orange, PCB's, Frankenfood they lied about and trying to control the worlds seed and food supply as an unhealthy monopoly. Obama usurped the left but, they need to wake up and smell the pesticides now!! His speech about his Monsanto shill is one of the most frightening things I've heard in a long while.

[TexasHatesMexicans]

Go Pilger.

[TexasHatesMexicans]

obama is a lying filthy scumbag who hates his own country. as of this comment obama has not even produced a legitimate birth certificate! he isnt even black hes half black. Obams promised transparency lol. where is the transparency in a president of the united states who balks at producing his own birth certificate? good to know the faggots and dykes who voted for obams will go down with the ship. i hope the swine flu KILLS every pro obama faggot. Thank you!!

[dublin58]

Pilger, Australia's Chomsky ????

Great vid.

[mkaymtube]

That hopey changey thing isn't working out for me. For one hope is always in the future and it won't feed the kids this week. Second when he talks about change, he's on about making things worse for us peasants.

[OURPLAYLISTSSSS]

Change with a big "C" sorta bugs me for some reason.

[JizzonTheDark]

"Chump Politics". lovely.

I like how those with english/aussie accents call him Oh Bomber!

[gregstreuber]

So how is that "Hopey Changey" thing working out for ya?

[sethpecekajus]

good to see someone so well respected and awarded telling it like it is, brilliant!

[tooyjfwn]

pilger spot on as usual. obama is nothing more than a successful brand relaunch of US government. he is starbursts to george bushes opal fruits

[kawasakiNinja636]

Viva John Pilger, He is a man of truth and we have very few left in this world, Viva John Pilger.

[PikeSdream]

obama con.

Who'd a thunk it.

[KamikazeKoscki]

Another Corporate Hitler: Business International Corporation (BI) was a publishing and advisory firm dedicated to assisting American companies in operating abroad. In 1986, Business International was acquired by The Economist Group in London, and eventually merged with The Economist Intelligence Unit.

[moonwarrior5]

Thank you for posting this. This man is soooooo right.

[verndewd]

point taken, william was a great man.

[acidhead43]

Spread this Video... Its our weapon of Change

[thejuicemedia]

amazing video - thx for the upload!

[fred10538]

ie. it's business as usual in the late great American empire. Not, as we imagined, a change of ownership, but rather, just a new customer service manager.

[verndewd]

australia was an english colony when england was the master of slave trade.

[verndewd]

land of slavery? from the land of the penultimate slave traders the english? Talk about calling the kettle black.

[1966BOBBY]

Excellent post. Pilger has been a long-time hero of mine. A true journalist in an age of embedded correspondents.

[x4167]

My first time hearing about this guy,but he is dead on,but it seems that many people are on to Obama now,great video.

[91177info]

When I see him on the TV Obama does seem troubled like something is on his mind.

[VolodiaTheElder]

@91177info Maybe you should try to watch when he is not reading teleprompters (e.g. town hall meetings). Check internet for Pinocchio Syndrome as a way to tell when people are not telling the truth.

[Deadpoolitics]

OMG, this guy is racist and a part of that angry mob I keep hearing about on TV!

/sarcasm

[rikestard]

just like max igen, those aussie dudes seem to think and speak really well

[jackson32]

Pilger's honest and has integrity which is why he is not on mainstream news. We live in the Matrix.

[clearSIGHT009]

truth.

[WarDogLRS]

The voters always fuck themselves voting in the same scum.. Destroying there own country 1 election at a time

[heatdeb]

Is it possible that people think that politicians have the interests of the people at the highest level of goverment?

[pinsAU]

Obama achieved the highest office, he sets the agenda, people listen to him, they take notice.

Pilger on the other hand is a nobody, a very average journo that no one listens to, very few take any notice, easy to complain and moan is it not whilst achieving nothing.

[jonz23m]

How about checkin whether Pilgers arguments have valid facts or not instead of bowing down to the highest office Just listen to the leaders and avoid critical thinking Damn you are a perfect citizen ...in a Monarchy

[jsnip4]

All of Obama's administration and advisors are Council on Foreign Relations and Trilateral Commission Rockefeller scum. Since you are a sheep I already know that you have no idea what that means or why it matters. Research who created those organizations and the breadcrums will hopefully awaken you to the reality that there are no real elections when dealing with the 2 party Republican/Democrat system. The good news is that they won't get too much further in their agenda.

[91177info]

Says you.

[WarDogLRS]

go fuck yourself asshole your an idiot

[pacificspotted]

@pinsAU yeah right obama sets the agenda. and im a fucking walrus

[Oskadella69]

@pinsAU All world leaders will sell you out to the king makers, the more you like them the better they are doing. Dont be fooled, their stone cold killers.

[IdunCareLesSn00b]

I been trying to tell people they never listen.Obama is a CIA plant.

[tubester4567]

So....Obama is no good because his policies are much the same as Republican policies? What are republicans complaining about then.? The GOP should love him. At least hes trying to do something about healthcare over there.

[jonz23m]

u will never see a republican agree with the democrats just to give an illusion of a choice So u actually have no point You should rather look at facts rather then on how republicans act

[HemiHead66]

If we don't get organized we're never going to stop them. We can't keep electing the people they put in front of us. It takes money to run a campaign, so we keep electing the same fat-cat millionaires over and over again. We need to pick our own candidates, and bring people together to fund them. Look what Obama did with the power of the net. One problem we'd need to get over is Religion / Politics, they've got to be separated. Thing's like abortion keep us divided, and that just won't work.

[adelelles]

Right, they're called "wedge issues" and they're used by the elite to divide and conquer. Do a YouTube search now for "how the elite control politics".

[jsnip4]

You're right, NOW WAKE UP PEOPLE! There is no 2 party system. They are on the same god damned team. The same advisors who are unelected, are on both sides. Do the damn research before spewing out your sheep like opinions.This country is finished. It's too late to reverse what is in motion now. All you can do is prepare for it to collapse. Keep in mind that when the collapse happens it will be the one and only oportunity to create a new system that benefits all of us.

[sugarpuddin88]

Today it was announced the US Military will spend 10 billion in Columbia

Colin Powell was US Army Intelligence Group-A (CIA) - working along side Bush Sr all the way

Longest period of time USA has gone without bombing someone: 2 years

Finally the Americans have the government they deserve; and with their inevitable bankruptcy, the world can be done with them once and for all!

[sugarpuddin88]

Oklahoma City Bombing:

FBI Chief, Ted Gunderson, in speaking about Oklahoma City bombing reveals those elements in the Federal Government created false-flags specifically in order to end Civil Rights in America.

As the world now knows, Oklahoma City served as the precursor to 911.

How high in the government does it go?

[sugarpuddin88]

How high in the government does it go?

After Glen Wilburn was interviewed he was called by ATF & threatened that his 14 yr old son looks like Joe Doe #2. The next morning he was awaken by officers of the ATF, IRS & Justice Department, and given threats. Who has the power to command agents of all three agencies?

/watch?v=cYTzve3Upa4&feature=c­hannel_page

[TROUBLESOME2009]

I dont understand why people just cant realise what figures like this guy has to say is true.

[sugarpuddin88]

Bernanke, Geithner, Rubens, Summers, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan & the Federal Reserve Bank know exactly what they are doing by collapsing the US Dollar:

The purpose of this financial crisis is to take down the U.S. dollar as the stable datum of planetary finance and, in the midst of the resulting confusion, put in its place a Global Monetary Authority [GMA - run directly by international bankers freed of any government control] -a planetary financial control organization" - Bruce Wiseman

[mountain19]

i said the ppl. cant see the coup d`tat of 2000? unreal! in our faces.

[sugarpuddin88]

Currently, the world is forming ad-hoc currency baskets for trade in order to get away from the contamination, which is the US dollar, (google: Shanghai Organizational Coop); & setting up for a new World Order Currency

Meanwhile, the USA has Stockholm Syndrome, where the terrorized population through Obama actually supports their terrorist: Last week Obama is actually giving more power to their captors, the Federal Reserve Bank, rather than prosecuting them

[TheMiguelGrande]

Mountain, the coup d'tat was in November of 1963.

[primal111]

dead right mate...wake up people

[MDreadedTV]

Brilliant and spot on, John Pilger, as you are always are. Different president same corporate assholes behind the scenes...

[ConwyCastle]

Another excellent speech by John.

He always tells it how it really is.

[lucillepop]

This guy is right on target... Amazing how some people are still drinking the Kool-Aid and don't see how corrupt Obama is.. It must be too much TV...

[markscott7777777]

Give this man a medal !

[lightleague]

nice speech

[PlanetThoughts]

I am in agreement with becoming more active in Afghanistan. Recently the military has agreed to stop the overhead bombings where there is lack of clarity. A temporary increase in protection of struggling civilians, along with supporting vital improvement in quality of life, could prevent worse results. Obama is a compromiser, and though I hate to compromise with corrupt governments, I admire his practicality -- as long as the ultimate goal is kept in view at all times.

[PlanetThoughts]

This speaker Pilger, who I never heard of, is way off. Obama is not a radical, that is true. He is just a step in a better direction. I don't think he could get single payer healthcare passed, but he is improving the healthcare ideas. He has pulled the plug on nuclear energy, is closing Guantanamo, and so on.

Yes, John Pilger, Obama is not a radical. I am not surprised. Pilger pseudo-revelations are not on point. Why not address the real issue of how to get stronger measures passed.

[BeataSilk]

closing Guantanamo, ha?

How about expanding the war.

Judge the man by his deeds not his words.

[GenieBella]

Interesting speech, and very true.

[theylive23]

If you don't agree with Obama and you're white, then you must be a racist.....that's what the Democrat Obama-huggers (Obots) will tell you.

Great work pointing out the Emperor's New Clothes by JP.

[heatdeb]

The salesmen in charge again.Americans would do well to read Roman history.

[xPEONISTx]

Americans would do well to read American history:

"Don't you know that some man with eloquent tongue, without conscience, who did not care for the nation, could put this whole country into a flame? Don't you know that this country from one end to the other believes that something is wrong? What an opportunity it would be for some man without conscience to spring up and say: "This is the way. Follow me!"—and lead in paths of destruction!"

Woodrow Wilson-The New Freedom,1913

[BarbarianRebellion]

Great post Jason! John Pilger is one of the best correspondents for sure.

[WhoreScape]

Very on the ball speaker that more people need to hear

[beerbrook]

Why isnt there any of those guys you see so often Calling him a Conspiracy NUT

[e3ovuziotica]

Good up! _o/

[behearsoon]

I think only those who voted for it, are the ones who are in a perpetual state of "childness". The rest are or have been in one state or another of Apathy. Those who voted for him will react the most negatively when all the truth comes out about the lies, deceit and horrific things that are about to happen.

[mcap52]

I agree 100%.Those who voted for "Operation Change" will be the ones that scream the loudest.Those people at the town halls might be some of them.

[behearsoon]

From the first moment he walked on to the scene, his presence made me ill with concern. I knew then and know now what he is, who he is and what he is here to do.

[alifico]

...a very fine hypnotist'' this statement might be even more pertinent than its face value suggests.

[mysterizedoutcast]

Thanks, very good. Never heard of this man before.

[NZtrillion]

John Pilger is a really good writer. if you have time a book called Hidden Agenda's is great. also another one called Distant Voices. he has newer books which i haven't read, but these two are excellent. begin with Hidden Agenda's.

[maghrebianka]

Very good, i've seen the whole speach before, but this part is very true
