Lew Rockwell: US enjoys sending Tomahawks, killing

[Rafnas00]

Americans dont like truth. They call it conspiracy theory. If americans believe humans have five arms and someone points out- no its not, they are conspiracy theorists. Whole world gotta believe what americans believe and obey what they say otherwise they will bomb you or use al-CIA-da to do destabilisation in that region. They are a disgrace to christianity

[RRNYC1998]

Lew had an affair with Cindy Sheehan. What a papist scumbag

[projectdurden]

Lew likes to say the word " malarkey". A word that frequently is used in Ron Pauls newsletters. fess up Lew.

[elfil76]

Lew Rockwell, the asshole who may have ruined Ron Paul's run to the presidency, the guy who wrote the rascist newsletters.

[lizluvskerry]

You know if they think killing the innocent in Iraq is worth it. How many kids are they willing to kill here for it to be worth it?

[xiongmu]

It's a little ironic how Russia Today talks about U.S. involvement in wars but they never talk about Russia's wars with Georgia and Chechnya...

[SomeUsefulIdiot]

@xiongmu

Yea, good point. Probably because RT is state owned though

[ALDancers]

@xiongmu - yes, right on the boarder - both former Soviet states - subject to infiltration by provocateurs - the CIA ran al qaeda brigades in Chechnya, just as they did in Kosovo and now in Libya - Commander Bel Haj is an al qaeda lieutenant - al qaeda is the CIA Arab Foreign Legion - useful as both terrorist bogymen and freedom fighters - then when the regime needs a real PR bump, have one assassinated, e.g. al-Awlakie (CIA lackey), the OBL Pakistan snuff theatre - wag the dog

[jjtruman]

This video is about the US either helping innocent populations or defending its own citizens over the last 30 years. The Us is not evil, and it is a disgrace to make video's such as these, which try to distort the facts, Should we include President Truman in this clip as he had wars agains Japan and Germany in 1945. The West is an advanced socity and we try to help out nations who suffer the evils of tin pot dictators..

[AFRIKTODAY]

@jjtruman Really! You are clearly lacking the very basic intellectual logic that is the foundation of a thinking man. To help someone, that person must " request " your help. You do not help people against their will. Clearly, the Afghan never ask for the US help, neither did the Irakis, the Lybians, and now the pakis! How do you help people by dropping bombs over the lands, countries, and towns! You must be out of your fucking mind!

[riverlioness]

Dear Lew,

This is your best macroeconomic debate in regards to the $14 trillion debt. Bravo.

[xiongmu]

The U.S. government is trying to keep the oil flowing so that fat craps like Lew Rockwell can still drive their SUVs two blocks to get a big mac at McDonalds. The guy should at least have some appreciation.

[NamasteWarrior]

Let us come together and end this madness of endless imperial warfare! LEGALIZE FREEDOM RP2012

[ilikenewbies457]

Have i noticed this show only talks about how bad america is and never what problems are in russia? where are the problems in russia? why does america always have the problems and never russia? why, because russia today is the site of soviet proprganda. watch /watch?v=3k1H_yRjXl0

[Vebinz]

@ilikenewbies457

No, because it is the US that is occupying and bombing other nations, not Russia.

[AwakeInNJ999]

GET US OUT OF THE UN!!! If the UN wants us to fight, they need to pay for it! The American people are tired of paying for endless wars with our sweat equity and the lives of our soldiers!

[aviomaster]

USA  is going in the wrong direction

[polygamous1]

@MrBloograss Ragan's government was dealing in drugs to fund the terrorising contras against a poor nation who wanted to share their wealth to improve peasants n poor ppl's lifes but that is ok in vietnam the Russians said about 2750 fixed wign planes shot down true figure nearly 3000 us figures if i remember right under a 1000 most lost through mechanical failure of course Macnamara told the vietnamese was u r freedom worth 3.2 Million dead on you tube not us figures of 1.2M us data reliable?

[phliperphil]

@MrBloograss is that true????

[ScrewSocialism]

Ron Paul and Lew Rockwell for President in 2012! Mr. Rockwell is SO RIGHT. Amazing interview. I don't give a damn if RT is paid for by Russia...It is not controlled by US media and therefore mostly speaks the truth! I personally go to YouTube or the internet for my news because I smell SPIN a mile away!

[MoneyIsSilver]

I love when she says "most of us couldn't find on a map" - says a lot about their opinion of their viewership, doesn't it?

[greggh]

When I first started watching RT most of the news presenters were Russians and would say "the US is doing this" and "the US is doing that". Now most news presenters seem to be American citizens with faint Russian accents saying, "why are WE doing this?" and "why are we doing that". Very interesting change in a fairly short time and very troubling. I appreciate getting news and commentary from RT that you don't get from corporate US networks, but this "we" propaganda angle is just too dishonest.

[WeThePeopleNoNWO]

Every major news source, including this one are presented by the elite. Another source to keep the people of this world divided. United we stand, divided we fall. They are very good at what they do. Wake up people

[signboyy]

this lew rockwell is right on some things but he seems to be emotionally oriented and thinks that the corporations and banks are emotionally oriented and try to "get back" or the "love killing" ect....

what this emotional guy doesnt realise is that the banks and corporations which control the american government and other governments are not motivated by emotions, they are motivated by increasing wealth and power and control. they do not love or hate or feel guilt etc.

[UncleJesse1]

@signboyy sir, you should check out Lew Rockwell's website and podcast, he is far from emotionally charged. He gets it.

[signboyy]

the u.s. doesnt enjoy waging war, the international banks and international corporations which control the u.s. government through lobbying wage war with the motivation of expanding wealth and power, not out of enjoyment.

the title of this video is ignorant.

[WeThePeopleNoNWO]

@signboyy Right on Signboy. Most people really just can't grasp the situation we are all in. Almost every country on this planet have a Central bank that is a private entity. To think they are not linked is ignorance. The first central banks were created by the Rothschilds. They have been running this planet for a couple centuries now. I wish all people would realize that it is all of us against them. Until we come together ,we will continue to be manipulated.

I respect Lew Rockwell. He's been right all along and this is just the beginning of the fall.

[tonyd7601]

Nobody. Ron and Rand both want to cut the budget



[honestadisate]

I always thought that stealing was a crime and highly punishable. Can someone take everything away from these greedy assholes , with the hope they will learn? Why is our government, paid by us, go along these murderers? It think its time that we all wake up!

[poosta7]

Drug addicts are always "out of money" but that doesn't stop them from using.....public policy is not what politicians say they are doing it is what they spending their money on.

[6of6]

@straty01 We need the Titans or the Olympians to save us! The current stock of deities suck ass.

[zapproowsdower]

@6of6 I agree - though i personally think the Viking gods had it right all along.

[6of6]

@zapproowsdower Intriguing. Perhaps a security council of forsaken deities needs to be convened. The time is ripe for protecting civi- err, mortal!

@Mechanized0 and their childlike voting choice comprehension

[paulcoonan]

Obama has seriously overstepped his power. As a "constitutional professor," Obama has once again created another impeachable offense by not following the US Constitution by not getting Congressional approval. More proof that the US Constitution means absolutely nothing to the current, power grabbing regime we call our federal government. They will do anything that we allow them to do. When will WE put our foot down and take this country back?

[trestradapalma]

Any government that would willingly kill even one child is evil and people who believe this criminal behavior is fine are fools.

[Jevezy]

Once again I have to extend my appreciation and congratulations to RT. Great job guys, great job.

[lindalucys2004]

"We don't have the money" ... one politician after another, even Obama stated this Nov 7, 2010 as seen in the video.

[Arkayem]

I hate how the title makes it seem like the average american citizen is sitting in their living room smirking and laughing at how our military is going into every Islamic country in existence. Its the MIC, the CIA, and the corporations that are behind this not us average people.

[villasoldier06]

Fuck

[OrwellsDaughter]

Bimbo talks to Mr. Simplistic; typical RT fare. It's either propaganda, stupidity, or both. This one's just idiotic (except for those who are so lacking in knowledge of history who could actually not laugh at this guy's drivel

[blx2000]

@OrwellsDaughter For the most part, RT has the truth about what if going on in the world. Almost every mainstream news source in the USA is bought and paid for edited propaganda. Many other countries have had way worse humanitarian situations than in Libya and the USA did nothing, but when there is oil(IRAQ) or natural gas(Afghanistan) involved, it is full scale attack and control mode. Coincidence?? I think not. How much has Haliburton(Cheney's former company) made in IRAQ? Billions!!

[OrwellsDaughter]

@blx2000 Sir, (or m'am), you make a lot more sense than rt does. I think you overestimate them.

[blx2000]

@OrwellsDaughter  I have watched a select number of RT vids, there might be some truth in your statement.

Thank you for your candid, thoughtful response.

"...it's a matter of imperial control." -- Lew Rockwell

Could it possibly be said better or explained more precisely? If so, not by much.

[Desnoxvu]

RT should of gave the creit to the Dailyshow for those ""America is broke" clips.

But the fact that they had Lew Rockwell from the Ludwig Von Mises Institute shows that they know where the stories and the truth are.

[fiapop]

VIVA Austrian Economics!

[bigjarred1]

I agree their will be blood in the streets millions will be dead. The United Nations will invade our country international troops will be in our country

[mrcaymanislands1]

America will collapse soon no dout? We are broke 3 wars!!!

[NCIcaucus]

Lew Rockwell for President!

[blackiron60]

Empires never stop until they fall and the US will fall, it's only a matter of time.

[NCIcaucus]

@blackiron60 yep, unfortunately you're right which is why I'm working at states rights

[99centt]

I do not get it...It is like trying to provoke WW3...think about it. We have no money for a war, so we try and provoke a huge war...We have a draft trying to go about, get the economy going, creating jobs for weapons...Hmm...Fuck it, I am moving.

The US of Corporations is just screwing everything. Creating more enemies, for the pathetic excuse of oil.

[Torgo1969]

Lew Rockwell is a treasure, as is his web site.

[1ASHKENAZI]

HE'S WRONG. IT'S NOT AMERICAN EMPIRE. IT'S ISRAEL EMPIRE, AMERICA IS JUST AN ARM just like BRITAIN and the UN.

[NCIcaucus]

@1ASHKENAZI so where the hell does Israel get the money and power for this?

[misterbig290]

@1ASHKENAZI you got that right..usa is a corporation..it is owned by the british..its not a secret but the americans are just in denial i guess..i hope the people wake up....

[dragonballman07]

the united nations canada france western europe... they're all americas bitches! but isreal.....america bows to it??? whos really in CONTROL??? o:

[Sonnedude]

Ron Paul for President!!!

[usairways101]

@Sonnedude Yeah, an 84 year old who already falls asleep in interviews. That's real smart.

[Sonnedude]

@usairways101 You obviously know nothing about him. He's 75 and bikes 5-10 miles every day. That's not falling asleep or being in any way physically incapable of doing his job. He's not an air traffic controller

[GreenPrep]

Sounds about correct to me...

[MuttonChopCartoons1]

So tired of people always saying that its because its the American Empire trying to rule the world when dumb asses like this don't seem to get the fact that these people would have all been killed and many more made examples of if we had done nothing. Besides its a UN mission not ours, even the Alternative media is making it out to be all about us this time as well. Yes another conflict but the UN asked for help and being 1 of 5 nations heading the UN it kind of is our responsibility.

[harveybirdmannequin]

@MuttonChopCartoons1

Wow, you're a fag.

[49Falcon]

@MuttonChopCartoons1 Sorry but, the people of the United States did not delegate that responsibility or decision to our government. Our people are not the cannon fodder of the UN or our government’s illegal actions. If the Generals had any balls (which they do not because they have to prove they are political tools to be able to obtain the rank of general) they would insist that congress authorize this act of war before they act on the orders of the commander in chief. They know their duty

[timongarretson]

@MuttonChopCartoons1 In the United States of America there are 3 branches of government, and the United Nations isn't a single one of them.

[TagNbagUM]

@MuttonChopCartoons1 They asked for a NO-FLY-ZONE not for 101 Tomahawk Missles that cost 1 million each, and a $38 million dollar aircraift that crash in Libia putting our service people at risk. Yes, something needed to be done but like always the U.S. has to go way beyond what they were asked at the expence of the taxpayer. If you see this as anything other than a resource grab, you need to get your eyes checked. Additionally, what has the other members of NATO done?

[capucchan8]

I love this reporter

[98bigbutt]

Yeah the US is broke,but meanwhile they trillions of $ on the military to expand its empire. We're broke. Yeah the pope is from Jamaica.

[harveybirdmannequin]

The USA has been at war since its birth. No one has given me 1 year when the USA was not technically at war (when war still had its original meaning and wasn't Orwellized). War is so constant for the USA they have changed the definition. There's also the practical aspect of declaring war. It would grant and exchange certain power between the 3 branches and remove certain civil liberties. It would also scare the business community and investors because of the confiscatory powers.

[harveybirdmannequin]

@harveybirdmannequin

This Libyan War is being fought for the personal interests of Sarkozy the faggy French Jewish frog, the UK's interests, and possibly the blackmail of Obama.

Gaddafi has dirt on Sarkozy that could destroy him domestically politically. For one thing, the Gaddafi's financed Sarkozy's election campaign.

Gaddafi has a lot of dealings with the UK politicians and corporations.

Gaddafi has dirt on a lot of people and stupid American goyim soldiers will do as they always do.

[ThunderAppeal]

@harveybirdmannequin Youre not an American, no one gives a shit what you think.

[USBankruptcy]

But over %80 of Americans including me say. Bomb Gadaffi straight to hell. I will work some OT to pay extra taxes.

[49Falcon]

@USBankruptcy Making war for shits and giggles is not your call or the peoples call. This is why our founders did not want a large standing army. They wanted it to be difficult to go to war. Just remember, giving your apparent reasons that allow us to go to war against a nation that made no hostile action against us -- we could have attacked any country on the planet that has used force against their own people. What happens if they hold us to that same standard?

[GreenPrep]

@49Falcon Will NATO or our government "help" us in America when we up-rise? Let's see, as of now we can't even protest without getting attacked and thrown in jail. I think we know the Truth, and it aint pretty and America is absolutely under occupation and control.

[GnomesAmok]

@49Falcon

And how would that have worked for WWII?

Why are you rehabilitating a racist and an extremist like Lew Rockwell? The man is poison.

[dogatron]

@Z200a racist and extremist? what a troll

[93msinclair]

@Z200a Use a thesaurus next time. I can find many more personally insulting words, each one adding more weight to the (non) argument.

[capitalist4life]

@Z200a Your racist argument is probably false, but what's wrong with being an extremist?

[Z200a]

@capitalist4life My racist argument is entirely correct: Lew Rockwell was the primary author of Ron Paul's newsletters, which were filled with all kinds of racist trash. As for extremism, it depends on what you're extreme about. Rockwell is extreme about hating American values, representative government, rights of people, and the quality of life of the middle class. He's a radical advocate for the concentration of power and wealth into the hands of a tiny number of corporations and rich people.

[evilpaul13]

@Z200a

Lew Rockwell *can* be wrong 23 hours of the day. That doesn't have anything to do with whether or not he's correct or incorrect about this.

Your "racist argument" is ad hominem and based on idle speculation. I don't know whether Mr. Rockwell wrote racist crap about the LA riots in '92 or whenever for a fact anymore than you. You just are probably a registered Republican/Democrat and he's critical of your civic religion so you don't like him. You know, those "American values", etc.

[Z200a]

@evilpaul13 No, actually, I do know better than you do, because Lew Rockwell himself admitted that he was the primary author and editor of the Ron Paul newsletters. Of course, it might be that he exagerated his role to take some of the blame away from Ron Paul, who was the owner and publisher of the newsletter during the nearly two decade period that it was filled with racism and hate speech directed against gays and minorities.

[kungfujones1]

@Z200a You sir/madame are totally fucking clueless. I have been reading Lew Rockwell for a number of years. Your characterization of him couldn't be further from the truth.

[Z200a]

@kungfujones1 Lew Rockwell is an enemy of the population and an advocate for concentrated corporate and individual wealth. He has devoted his life to attacking representative government, the sole means the public has to protect itself from the depredations of private power. If Rockwell had his way, the population would be enslaved.

[sprylama]

@Z200a God bless israel and america .

[pretorious700]

@Z200a You have no idea what you're talking about. Yes, he attacks government, because government takes everything at the point of a gun, the "democratic process" is completely compromised, and the executive branch has usurped the power the constitution was created to protect us from.

You're part of the problem if you buy into all of this.

[Z200a]

@pretorious700 That's fine. You're entitled to hold views that are in opposition and even openly hostile towards American values and the American people. It's typical of the teabagging fascist element that now dominates the country. Feel good about it. I have colleauges in China who happen to agree with you. They explain in great detail why representative government is a bad thing. People need to be ruled, they believe, and controlled by the elite -- just as Ayn Rand and libertarians believe.

[kotash2]

@Z200a completely wrong Rockwell wants humanity to be free from coercion and tyranny. The greatest threat of this comes from government. Private wealth is what has made the united states relatively prosperous nation.

[Weapon01]

The missiles have been sitting there idle for fourty years, not sure if they still work. They've got to make sure if they still work. Just carrying out some tests. Tweaking and fine-tuning.

It is not the fault of the Americans to start so many wars, the Chinese is at fault to lend more money to the US to start more wars. Stop lending the wars will go away. LOL.

[dualisticnature]

why are you saying "we" and "our" involvement. i don't know about this "we" shit. i have no stake in the outcome. it's not my government. forget this "we" shit. you guys are on your own.

[MrColts420]

We are never broke, when they can just print more money!

They have to use these million dollar weapons, in order to sign new contracts with the big military corporations to design new, bigger, more destructive weapons.

[johnwilsonriley]

@MrColts420 When they print more money the dollar loses value! When the dollar devalues, the US will lose the World Reserve Currency status! When this happens,US taxpayers are gonna get the living crap taxed out of them to pay back the debt owed! Oil and goods are pegged to the US dollar! As the dollar goes down, Oil producing countries lose money, because the devalued dollar buys them less! US treasury Bills Countries own will also devalue! End result; Every thing Yanks buy will cost more!

Thankfully he does. And he forgives.

@peepeevagi He judges too. It's not always the pleasant outcome... Read the Book.

[peepeevagi]

But he does most certainly forgive. I dont know about people like Rockwell, but he's certainly forgiven me of the things i've done :D

[peepeevagi]
