[Esindee]

Obama is a genious!

[vivascargill1]

corn is what passes for left in the us!! god help us!!

[Jentany]

Jeremy Scahill is hot and smart. I wish we could get a man like him in the White House.

[Petekiv]

Is David Corn a faggot? Did him and obama ever date? Can someone look into this? obama is an illegal, homosexual, muslim darkie. Go to: Her Name is Ms Ann. Then: Larry Sinclair. Then: Phil Berg. Then: Rev. James Manning. Then: Aaron Klein.

[groovylazy]

i find myself increasingly impressed with scahills ability 2 cut through the bullshit and shed light on the focal point of things. he was very sharp here

[DaFleegsta]

So the Illuminati federation of Atlantica is working with the school of the blind to perform procedures such as child health care, and aiding cancer.

I also think that despite most of your opinions, King Leonatius has great political opinions, and I don't know why all of you guys are bashing him so hard on health school reform systems. I think that it is just ignorant to ignore the fact he set up a cat hospital.

I heard that they might name him Master Chief of the world.

[BattleAngel]

[zzsharka]

He's an Encyclopedia for cutting through the bullshit !

[TheArgenta2009]

I know, this guys is so brilliant~! he talks for 5min and I feel like i've read a whole book~! so smart and knows so many things... He not only knows things but he's really good at connecting the dots. Go jeremy~!

[MrShakazulu]

Dam this man is good!

[camipray4peace]

Interesting play on words. Interest of change vs a change agent. The latter is actuallyy a person whom cares for the interest of another person. Interesting. Just thought I would point that out.

[MothaFuckthePolice]

this show rocks. also, Jeremy is smart and hot (so for a man he's kinda like a unicorn - much talked about but never found) LoL

[tom500k]

Hillary Clinton is complicit in the mass murder of Iraq children under the age of 5 by her support of the prevention of production of safe water in Iraq. See "The Secret behind the Sanctions"! She should be tried for complicity in genocide. Instead Obama annoints her his Sec. of State! Bravo Scahill; shame on Corn!

[wonderfwuka]

We will fall for Obama's being black, liberal, progressive... we will fall for the gas prices going down... EVERYTHING IS OK... THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE TELLING US... WE GOT A "BLACK" PRESIDENT, WHAT AN INCREDIBLE "CHANGE" GAS HAS GONE DOWN TO A BUCK! WHAT A "CHANGE"!!! OH... WE'RE GOING TO WAR WITH AFGHANISTAN??? WHAT A "CHANGE"!!! OH, WE'VE 500 BILLION LESS IN AFGHANISTANT AND LOST 10% LESS SOLDIERS THAN WE DID IN THE 9 TRILLION DOLLAR OCCUPATION IN IRAQ! "CHANGE"???

[ningyangzt]

Personally, I wish Ron Paul had been your president-elect now, who really tells the truth and has brains.But he is not good at campaigning and his thoughts are too radical for mainstream media and most American people to accept. HOw sad!!

[wonderfwuka]

i would apply that to most people in most countries. and from wherever you are from, you will sadly feel this downfall as well at some point.

[ningyangzt]

Right. We are earthlings living on the same planet. Why cann't countries treat each other as friends and trade with each other, instead of wanting to maintain dominace upon others or regarding other countries as threats to the current order. But the reality is that politics are so complicated and break the manliest heart. I hope one day there will be no class, no country, no wars, no hunger and no more suffering. But I wonn't live long enough to see this happen. Anyway, I have to be optimistic.

[wonderfwuka]

i doubt this will ever happen. the most willful for power, the meanest, are always the ones who take hold of power most of the time. it's the nature of them. the nice and noble don't seem to have that cut throat determination. but if you agree with the yin and yang theory, one cannot live without the other and when this is unbalanced things will fall apart and start again. there will always be good and bad and always an ebb and flow

[ningyangzt]

oh, you know about Taoism! Great!

It's true that, to some degree, human being is greedy for power and high status. But heartfelt communications between countries or people can be used to reconcile the disputes and misunderstandings between them, if not to eliminate all the doubts and hostilities. I always have a belief that in the long long future, people on the Earth will live like a big family. Just like you said, when things are too unbalanced, they will be shuffled and start over.

[wonderfwuka]

i agree with you. heartfelt. i have to admit, i've been losing warmth of heart the more i understand world politics and u.s. initiatives toward the world. as a matter of fact, you are one of few people i speak to here on youtube that has this attitude.

[ningyangzt]

I have the same feeling. When I try to see the world from different stances, different ideologies and different countries, I feel more and more strongly that the world outlook and the values I chrished before are so wrong. To some degree, I was brainwashed a little bit by mainstream medias from my country. It's really difficult to be totally objective. Well, at least, I am trying to be objective now. I don't believe in any governments, which often benefit the wealthy few instead of their people.

[wonderfwuka]

What country are you from? I do believe in government governing the masses because the alternative the masses seems to turn to is fairy tale. and the most extreme of fairy tales seems to be the most popular and destructive.

[ningyangzt]

I am from China. I admit government plays an important role to some degree. But it should not interfere economy or freedom too much. Take your bailouts as an example. The pills are bitter, but you are gonna swallow them. Those who advocate bailouts are either shortsighted or whose benefits are directly compromised. And the potential hazard it may pose is much more disastrous than the autoworkers' not losing jobs temporarily and the fat cats' bankrupt. Worldwide inflation and collapse of dollar!

[wonderfwuka]

it is a boldfaced swindle. they are able to do this so easily on the trust of the american people. the majority see our govt as one entity. this is so far from true. but that goes to show the affects of eradicating govt education from our schools. the bailouts are just the last efforts of those who really know waht's going on to cash in on the last stand of the collapsing dollar.

[ningyangzt]

THE WORLD was a very different place on September 10, 2001, when Donald Rumsfeld stepped to the podium at the Pentagon to deliver one of his first major addresses as Defense Secretary under President George W. BushThat day, Rumsfeld announced a major initiative to streamline the use of the private sector in the waging of America's wars and predicted his initiative would meet fierce resistance.

[wonderfwuka]

it did not and so far has not

[ningyangzt]

The upper passage is an excerpt from BLACKWATER by Jeremy Scahill."The next morning, the Pentagon would literally be attacked as American Airlines Flight 77—a Boeing 757—smashed into its western wall." "The world had irreversibly changed, and in an instant the future of the world's mightiest military force had become a blank canvas on which Rumsfeld and his allies could paint their masterpiece." Oh, the conspriracy theory has its sense.

[lpercenter]

It's called being self sufficient. It's that simple. You are just Daddy's little girl who needs Daddy to take care of you.

[wonderfwuka]

Actually,he fully attacks the bush admin. in his book which was a bestseller during that time. What we should be noticing is that national/international agendas of BOTH Bush and Obama are virtually identical. Obama's foreign policy will cost us further trillions and sink us out of recession and into a depression. You should do more research and get off the black/white, dem/rep, conservative/liberal and see that none of this matters to these people and in a dictatorship will matter even less.

[AnimeIntroStyles2]

Nice healthy debate. Boo yah Grandpa.

[CaptainFuzzbottom]

Jeremy Scahill is the best living journalist in the USA. Boom.

[ningyangzt]

I like him, too. Wish to read his book BLACKWATER.
