  • BRAVO ! The TRUTH!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!

  • Re the captioning/sub-titles for "Jim Webbing and his 'It's the Emets Truth' Department ", ....Isn't their a 't' in emets?

    Hebrew term, isn't it?

    Living around the Brookline, Newton, etc. area around Boston we run across such terms fairly often.

  • i turned off tv for three weeks and I didn't miss it cause i have internet.

  • @junsair lol. try 3 years! No cable. Joys of living on your own. NEVER have MISSED it

  • Rimmer from Red Dwarf in the future... "Back in the 21st century, they used to laugh at freaks all the time. They used to have TV shows on saturday nights where they'd get out all the freaks , make them sing and dance, then laugh at them. Simple people, simple tastes"

    The truth is God, and God is dam sure not in a televison! this old man rocks,you can tell he is in the passion of the spirit. one love

  • Stop talking about which news-channel is the most/less biased propaganda machine. They all are. Exept for independent news-channels on the web.

  • Stop talking about which news-channel is the most/less biased propaganda machine. They all are.

  • I would say that MSNBC is the most biased propaganda machine. They don't even make an attempt at showing the "other side."

  • Turn em off right Now!!!.....Alt+F4 > U

  • @ audience,

    You have to remember though, the film and script were written and made in '76, when journalism still had a lot of integrity. Not to mention that T.V's use of images is what makes it much worse than the written word, be it propaganda or not.

  • @disfigured1 yeah its a great movie!! should be taught in schools!!

  • Only thing bothering me about his speech is how he seems to criticise the audience for not reading newspapers - which are just as bad a propaganda as tv.

  • @omnium9134 not back in 76, any reason none of these videos will embed?

  • @DontTreadOnMe476 this video is awesome. Another enlightened man,

    "Go to God, go to your gurus, fo to yourself"

    Ask God

    Ask Mystics

    Ask yourself

    all three are God answering, God is in us, a Mystic is only the person who is close to God.

  • @omnium9134 they go hand in hand really!

  • This tube is now YouTube

  • @thoja721 I agree youtube has become a place for a bunch of bs, but with free access and anyone being able to upload there leaves room for some truths to be shown. Yale Courses is on youtube, not to be laughed at, MIT lectures, Minister Farrakhan, Bob Marley, there is a lot of godo videos to learn from on Youtube, If youtube can maintian freedom from censorship it will continue to be a awesome tool for God.

  • This tube is YouTube

  • Is there a remake in order? Would it be ludicrous and disrespectful to all concerned?The issues are still relevant today, 35 years later.

  • Embedding disabled at who's request?

  • great video, but sucks cause you've disabled embed

  • If all did a little a lot would be done

  • Such Truth!

  • I have TV for sale

  • Totally right on with the influence of TV on society and how they create and give us our culture...

  • Thanks for posting this segment. I'd almost forgotten what an impact this film made on me when it was released. I've just ordered the DVD version.

  • IF you want the truth...go to God....Amen

  • @blaqsoldier You realize he wasn't saying to go to God, he was saying to go to what you believe in. You religious people like to take single quotes and give them an entire meaning without looking at something as a whole.

  • @xxpeniskingxx Exactly!

  • @xxpeniskingxx and the anti God people always want to point the arrow away from God

  • @xxpeniskingxx Another boob tube victim, eh?

  • We need a Howard Beale today. If only he could see the shit being peddled these days called "reality tv".

  • As Tayitor332 said, Fox news is very biased. But so are all the others.

    In fact, the supposed "diversity of thought" from the different networks is like comparing different brands of cola. They hype up their differences so we won't notice their similarities. All networks are owned by big media conglomerates, and those conglomerates are corporate members of the CFR. In other words the CFR controls what the entire media broadcasts. There is no diversity of thought allowed on important issues.

  • @HumansHaveFailed

    The other observation: the audience in this YouTube clip never looked at Howard Beale as a purveyor of wisdom and truth, but ironically rather as a jester. The truth ended up being entertainment to kill the boredom.

  • @HumansHaveFailed I know, but I don't like that word. It makes people … well … irrational :)

  • "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore" was ultimately a cry for Howard Beale to break free. The people who where shouting out through open windows earlier in the movie still were not thinking for themselves; they only did it because Howard Beale told them to do it in his tirade.

    And, true to form, the phrase "I'm as mad as hell..." ends up being used to bind people to the network fold in the scene on this YouTube clip.

    "Network" is quite deep.

  • The only thing I don't agree with is when he says 'go to god' for truth. Otherwise this is all too true.

  • @CasperBHansen

    "god" means lots of different things to lots of different people

  • @cowpacino I know GOD damn it :D

  • THIS IS TOTALLY THE BEST MONOLOGUE YET! AND I'M TOTALLY DOING THIS FOR MY ENGLISH PROJECT! (faint)

  • 4 people like peddling shit.

  • 4 people didnt turn off their TV's

  • Everything he says is 100 percent true.

  • THAT WAS THE MOST EPIC THING TO NEVER BE BROADCAST ON TELEVISION

  • The methadone metronome that numbs and dumbs the edges of reality is the new opiate of the masses. The drug of the nation that breeds ignorance and feeds radiation. The inert banality of Sporticus and American Gladiators has replaced thought. Do we read books of real gladiators. Do we read unbiased newspapers and ask why, throughout history, parents grieve their own real American Gladiators who fought in alien arenas. Do we read of hero now home minus a Colgate smile, cradled because he saw hell

  • "The enormous gap between what US leaders do in the world and what Americans think their leaders are doing is one of the great propaganda accomplishments of the dominant political mythology." - Michael Parenti

  • This speech is absolute truth. Ironic that it comes via a movie meant as entertainment. The blurring of reality and entertainment is just about at its peak. Latest tech news says were 10 years away from near life like 3D holograms. Spooky stuff, man spooky stuff indeed. So does art imitate life or does life imitate art? Both, I think. It all seems to be driven by our imagination.

  • LOVE IT!!!

  • amazing

    

  • "go to yourselves! Because thats the only pace your going to find any real truth!"

  • 4 years without T.V and going strong, **** the corporations and all thier b/s.

  • I wonder what Paddy Chayefsky would have thought of the world wide web and how it has evolved?

    Would his Howard Beale character make similar statements about today's users of the world wide web? Let's face it, some of the people that have inherited this world wide web are those that 'don't read books everyday' - and judging from readers' comments, many see the prophetic nature / unusual parallels of today's TV / media and what was fictionalised in 'Network'. Should we be more discerning?

  • @Bhuttmanandsniffy

    The internet is our last hope.

    e-Democracy is the future. Politicians are for ignroant people.

  • @69salford69 "there is no democracy", e- or otherwise. there is only the autocracy of the self.

  • @ianiiasu

    "the autocracy of the self"

    -- I don't suppose you could explain what that is could you? Please.

  • Every so often the Illuminati have to tell you what's really going on, and what they want to do. They sure did in Network, the world is all corporations, TV is all BS, and so on....turn off your Dancing with the stars, soap operas, "reality" shows, and endless array of watching millionaires playing sports, interesting that even poker is on ESPN....read some good books, surf the web, learn what's going on, and act upon it !

  • fucking tv , dont tell what to do

  • This is a 1976 film, yet is so painfully true...

  • Great, great scene. It was too bad he had passed on when they awarded him best actor. There is so much truth in this scene about the human condition.

    I actually turned off my TV 6 months ago.

    Thanks for posting.

  • the pure truth in almost 5min!

  • At 2:50 i love the part in which he says. " Television is a Circus, a carnival, a traveling troupe of acrobats, storytellers, dancers, singers, jugglers, sideshow freaks, lion tamers,& football players.Were in the boredom killing buisness." just like today's WWE

  • Comment removed

  • your kidding right? that was sarcasm right? I mean listen to your language, your thought process expressed " they give it to you" you say as if you know they are fucking you and you can't wait to take it some more, "they give it to you" like some happy hooker that complains about other pimps to say this pimp who still beats you and mistreats you maybe even worse is best,only because he SAYS he's the fairest and most balance, thats right happy hooker use HIS words, fuck all other pimps

  • Are you kidding? I seriously hope so. Fox News is probably the most biased propaganda machine I have ever seen.

  • All the main stream media is controlled by Zionists...

  • the problem with Fox News is that there usually right...

  • They should do a feature on elemental grammar and spelling. Then maybe their acolytes would present a more credible argument. Maybe.

    Your = possessive noun.

    You're = a contraction of "you" and "are".

    Even my six year old knows that. Maybe she should start watching FoxNews so she'll fit in with all the other dumbasses.

  • If the semantics of grammar are what you are more concerned about than the message. Maybe you should go to the time out chair....this is big boy talk.

  • @Tayitor332 People like you are the problem. Fox news is biased, but if it is "the most biased propaganda machine you have ever seen", then you have never opened a history book in your entire life.

  • @blhack hate to be a grammar nazi, but a book isn't a machine. Also, a history book stops spitting out bias information as soon as you finish reading it. Fox however, won't stop until they close.

  • @Rellixftw ...what? I'm not saying that books are machines, I'm saying that far more biased "propaganda machines" have existed throughout history. The implication is that if you don't know these exist, you've never opened a history book.

  • @Tayitor332 Glen Beck's Doppelganger? 

  • @deeppurple28 Glenn Beck is the man this guy is warning you about.

  • @Tayitor332 That's because CNN, NBC, CBS, and ABC have trained you to think that way. You're just as brainwashed as the people screaming in the audience of this clip.

  • oh, sarcasm right? I get sarcasm....

  • hahaha

  • dude seriously, I'm a foreigner and even I know that Fox News is the worst station in the US. Except maybe for the show Freedom Watch all they have is propaganda. They praise republicans, MSNBC democrats. none of them are either fair or balanced. CNN is full of it most of the time. no real reporting.Propaganda for the government.

  • @yargins in reality news stations are only soundbites. good old fashioned newspapers are the tickets.

  • Yeah thats why it cost $385 bucks for a Wall Street Journal subscription. And newpapers are "scaling" back or going out of business. The junk they peddle as news is no different than that in telivision form. So now people just watch shows and entertainment....while thier societ is crashing down around them, becasue of the trust they have lost for "Mainstream Journalism"

  • Don't worry about all the thumbs down. They come mostly from the people this video is talking about. Celebrities say Fox News is bad, so all the children nod. They've given up their dreams and freedom for an illusion.

  • Holy Jumping Kangaroo. I want this guy on my New World Order.

  • Who controls the media, controls the mind"

    James Douglas Morrison

    Illusion is reality

    "In an age of universal deception, speaking the truth is a revolutionary act" George Orwell

    Research who owns the media

    The internet is the true revolution!

  • We can choose what we wanna watch and find out from the internet but people still insist on the caveman box with the shitty censured programing. Get rid of the tv.

  • For the most part people have lost their sight, so how can they discern any thing? In all realality the propaganda boxes in our homes have rotted the minds of damn neer every one.

  • And now we have the internet period. I absolutely loathe television, but in many ways the internet is far worse at times : conspiracy theorists, doomsdayers, religious fanatics, shove it down your throat aetheists, trolls, pedophiles, straight up dumb people and the list goes on and on. Sure those types of people have always been around in one form or another, but now all you have to do is just flip on your PC and they are freaking everywhere.

  • I'd think a rational mind could discern bullshit from reality.

  • you'd be surprised. rational minds actually believe flying cement and a few fires caused the perfect controlled demolition, knocking out all of the right steel beams at the right time, of WTC 7, a 42 story steel skyscaper, on 9/11.

  • People watch the news and think "This is the official news, the information they are giving me must be true, their whole business is based on news, I assume they must check their facts, and never, never lie". But we know that we shouldn't believe everything we see and hear on the internet because we know that absolutely anyone can contribute to it. There isn't the presumption of truth, we are given a clear 'point of view' based system, whereby we are forced to think rather than just accept.

  • You are partly right on... the problem though with people today is they cant think for themselves. If they could we wouldnt be in the shit we are in if people could think for themsleves. Unfortunatle instead of thinking and forming our own opinions the entire school system has weeded out those who question authority and think independently. They are medicated to the point of chemical lobotomy and the ones who conform are given the right to reproduce more drones or worker bees watch A BUGS LIFE

  • you had me the whole way and i nodded approvingly at a bugs life, excellent comment

  • And now you people watch Youtube... And then there's the comment trolls, the religious debaters, the star trek versus star wars debaters, the ones that can't stop but start a debate! Is this a debate?! O what a delightful question!!!

  • Has the internet become the next TV?? I think this depends on what you read/watch on the internet. Certainly the internet has provided for more opinions and ideas to be expressed.

  • Peter Finch didn't know this when ' Network ' was being made but every word he just spoke in this video segment HAS indeed come true . We are all robots because like Finch said , television , in the wrong hands , can CONTROL you , your life style and eventually your souls . You speak of a God and a Devil ? You wonder why the World has gone Mad ? It's because we sit in front of our T.V.'s every night and believe the Newscasters when they say Everything is Fine while the NWO finalize their plan .

  • Exclent exclent a fine statment. More importantly a true statment, brainwashed little sheeple beliving every thing their manipulative little tubes tell them its madness!!!

  • @Hangtime96  To Hangtime.... I absolutely agree. I wonder what Finch would have to say today if he was still alive. I think it would be interesting. Great actor.

  • @Hangtime96 oh please dont put that NWO bullshit into this.

  • @Hangtime96 K this who argument about the news is retarded,

    Either everyone says the news is way too full of violence and its out to make us paranoid or you have people telling us that the newscasters are convincing us that everything is fine while the NWO continue there plan... both things complete disagree with each other

  • irony is savage

  • dis is eshayz!!!

  • the end when appear the comercials of a

    airplane company and a box of milk

    of the brand ^Life^

    its great

  • Bravo good sir.

  • All the more reason....I don't watch network news.

  • This is the most awesome thing i have ever watched. THis hit my E-spot.

  • this movie got it scarily spot on

  • Cool troll, bro.

  • The Government media complex exists..

    Without the Media orgasms for Obama...he would have never gotten elected.

  • LIAR!!!

  • @SaleGuy

    ... Obamabot

  • If we turned off youtube a lot of us wouldnt have seen this. The internet is our last hope..it sounds corny but its the only place we're going to observe mass information, whether it's true or not. Discernment is at the core, and is our only tool.

  • Yes. Being wise about what we see and hear. Something I have not been too clever at myself in the past. You are right. Discerment is the key but TV springs too many suprises to make discernment any good. You can watch a good programs and seconds later be bombarded with evil with no warning. What we put into our minds becomes what comes out of them. With children, even more so.

  • Perhaps you shouldn't think of it as good, and evil. Perhaps you should take better care of not what you see, but what you allow yourself to agree with. The mark of an educated mind is the ability to consider a thought, even argue its merits, and still not agree with it. We're not stupid animals, we can easily control what we think, if only more people cared enough to do it.

  • Perhaps I want to think of it in terms of good and evil because that is how I see it and because I am tired of being seduced by soft arguments to the contrary. I dumped my TV 6 Months ago and the difference is massive. I now think for myself. I can hold conversations again. I no longer sit through utter crap out of habit. The news does not control my arguments any more. I am no longer offended by the perverse people that would slip by me because I do not see them. Its great! It really is great.

  • The Revolution will be televised! and I'm mad as hell and i'm not going to take it any more...ahrgh.

  • "The people watch the TV because they think it makes them whole

    But TV's not a healer it is poison for the soul."

    George Rolph

  • nice quote. never heard that one

  • this clip was used in the movie Zeitgeist, I've been looking for the title of the movie all night! thanks for posting

  • the movie title and date were cited in subtitles in the movie... : /

  • Comment removed

  • the problem is not the TV itself, if you're not an idiot you can watch as much as you like, it won't do you any good, but if you understand that's just bullshit it'll be fine.

    go to the theater, read a book, watch a good movie, it's called cultural entertainment and it's great and fun :)

  • I think John Mayer put it best.

    "And when you trust your television

    What you get is what you got

    Cause when they own the information, oh

    They can bend it all they want"

  • hate the way this film ends makes me mad as hell to see him turned into just another meaningless pop tv programme

  • i'm mad as hell and i'm not gonna take it anymore!

  • just perfect text!

  • enjoy your camp.

  • we are the illusion

  • whow, I finally found this piece. Peter Finch has been used in some breakcore songs

  • Comment removed

  • This is so true. I imitated what i saw on TV my entire life and it got me into so much trouble, from not having friends to getting fired from two jobs. This is madness. There should be a disclaimer on TV shows that says "For entertainment purposes only", or simply put it like he says turn off the TV and leave it off.

  • He's right!!!

  • once in awhile the powers that be actually give us a little hint in the media they control, this is a great example of it...you won't get the truth from us ..go to God, go to your guru, go to yourself !!!

  • Turn off television, turn off Youtube and it's pathetically ill-informed comments that pose as the peoples' wisdom, turn them off - turn them off I say!!!!!!!!!!

  • get a lot more truth on the internet than you ever will thru the controlled main stream liars and puppets

  • This speech should be shown to every human in America. Every human who watches television or any form of multi-media. Fucking hell. I watch youtube. I watch documentaries. I'm not immune, but I know damned well how to discern. This speech is important because he says, "Go to yourselves." The measure of humans is an interesting measurement. Probably the best.

    What is good?

    Do we need anyone to tell us?

  • truth predates religion. wisdom predates sages. we innately know whats good because its what fulfills us.

  • look at 2:00 he almost points to the YouTube logo. very prophetic for what is coming.

  • the guy who acts as howard beale his name is peater finch.

  • You misspelled the name is Peter Finch

    He is the only actor who was given an Oscar after his dead.

  • Great message. Great delivery.

  • The only thing I didn't like about this scene was Beal's acting like he was under some kind of hypnotic power when he faints at the end which made it seem like he was under the influence of some other "power" which made him say the things he did but also made him to be less credible than what he was saying actually was. One of the most important and true scenes of all time.

  • In the movie he is craze!

    He was scolded when he finished this speech (the scolding itself was as interesting as this one)and then changed the speech to something boring.

    The TV rating fell, and producers decide to kill him.

    He was no so important for the plot.

  • You can find he's right (I know it was only a movie but it fits now at days). It's all about money, they make money off of your dyign children overseas, they make money off of you at home, at school at work everyhting. The ydon't give a god damn thign about you jsut as long they get money, and they only stop until your dead, and they even suck more out of you when your on the streets.

  • The war on terror is a HOAX. Fuck the corporate media LIES!!!9/11 was an inside job!!

    "What luck for the rulers that men do not think."-Aldof Hitler

  • right on brutha. Now how do we spread this message to the rest of the world who think terrorists and to those Christians who think the "devil" did it? People need to see this movie!

  • i make alot of copies of the movies loose change and zeitgeist and then just pass them out to people.i also make 911 truth t-shirts;stickers and such..

  • you see the symbols in the beginning?

  • DO NOT LET THEM INFECT YOUR MIND.

  • READ more books.

  • really, they print those...., dta

  • Wow, what a great performance. Things are even worse now. KILL YOUR TV!!!

  • YOUtube = the anti-tube

  • Some of the best acting I've ever seen.

  • one of the best speeches ever.. loved it..

  • did he really get assassinated??

  • did he?

  • yes at the end of the movie ^^

  • I am buying this movie. No lie.

  • This man is EXREMELY ON the ball..

    Throw your TVs away..

    The Lame Stream Media spreads nothing but lies.

  • WOE

  • I know Mr. Beale's insane, but what he says might be the truth!

  • lmfao.. .. "might"!? he's spot on

  • um might be the truth? IS the truth. Check out where television originally came from..

  • you(re the)tube!
