Except that Maher defines it wrong. It's not about terrorism controlling our lives but about terrorism being used as a convenient pretext to control our lives. And since the documents about Operation Northwoods became public one can even suspect that terrorism is encouraged or even self-created. After all there's too much profit in the war on terror to accept uncritically the official explanations.
why don't we as america just fucking take over the middle east and all of its motherfucking oil?? and kill any fucks who get in the way!!! hahaha...no more muslim terrorist.
yeah because the British never responded to terrorism by sending their army into the source country and suspending democracy. COME ON Northern Irish history anyone?
@tnekkc The amount of liberal or conservative employees does not reflect anything about FOX "news" or any other media. If FOX "news" offer me a job I would most likely take it if I am desperate for one.
It is their lack of facts, heavy distortion of facts, and making up of facts which earn them the hatred of any sensible human beings.
@tnekkc, his statement regarding the travesty of 40,000 auto-related deaths juxtaposed with Americans undying love affair with their cars and other fossil-fuel driven technologies while not seeing the connection linking accelerated climate change, interminable Middle-East occupation and the erosion of our own constitutional republic was SPOT ON.
@tnekkc, labeling ideas liberal or conservative is a grave mistake, condemnation sans investigation is the height of ignorance. You should base your beliefs on verifiable information, on truth as opposed to sentimental attachments, presuppositions, etc... Americans are wed to their cars, that's a fact. Naturally occurring, cyclical climatic conditions have been exacerbated, in part, by industrial capitalism, militarism, our foreign policy, Middle East occupation, it's all intertwined.
@tnekkc Maher is the one of the only reasons that the truth is on television. Such shows as FOX news are truth barriers that need to be taken off the air. I don't know what your views might be, but there are two reasons that you don't know what is truth and what makes a good show. One is that you're either religious or highly politically conservative, the other is that you really just lack the education to see that this is a show about reality and facts. In either case, you need help.
@NoSteveNoPoint Why, because I put someone like you in their place? I'll do the same to you if you wish. All you have to do is put up a "valid point". I know that's difficult, if not impossible for people like you, but give it a try. Who knows, maybe you'll surprise me. But the truth still stands right now that religion is the ultimate truth barrier with politics being a close second. If you can't prove me wrong, then don't try to voice your opinion because it's empty and void.
@Shadow07Warrior1989 This show is about a liberal comic trying to make a buck!!! You can't make any more out of it than that. What you are hearing here is just a moment in time where his brain was stimulated by one of his guest. Get a life, buddy!
@coleyman1 I have a life and I'm quite proud of it, not that you'd understand. Maher points out the facts about recent events and reveals to everyone the flaws in the system and the harsh and ugly realities of the people he talks about. Every time he insults a someone, he does so based on the facts that surround the individual. You need to find a life because if that was your best argument, you'd better not respond because it's only going to get worse for you from here.
@Shadow07Warrior1989 You mistaked an insult for an argument. Maher doesn't believe in the truth, he, like 99.99% of these tv talking heads is there only for the money. If Fox were to offer him a bigger buck than where he is right now, then move over Hannity here comes Maher. You're world is so small and probably young as well, that you still have visions that there are people out there with a purpose in life. Well, there may be, but Maher is not one of them!
@coleyman1 You are a sad excuse for a human being and you insult the term "human intelligence" on every level. If Maher didn't care about the truth then why would he read facts, quotes, statistics and have people on his show who actually know what's going on and who openly state what should be happening in order to fix the country? Your logic, if you can even call it that, is so flawed and backwards it's not worth my time to bother arguing with you because you're defeating yourself.
@Shadow07Warrior1989 Well, you're young, stupid, and thinking about things you know nothing about.You will however, become old and learned and discover that those idiots you watched and believed when you were young were just like carnival barkers, just trying to sucker you in to get your money. Be pissed at me and then remember this conversation when you are old and you will say to yourself-- "that old fart knew what he was talking about". Age has a way of changing your perspective!
People freak out over terrorist attacks, because they could be prevented if a hurricane hits, who the hell do we blame? it's a natural cause, we can't attack the wind? that's the difference.
@TheYear18 "People freak out over terrorist attacks, because they could be prevented if a hurricane hits, who the hell do we blame?" Your assertion is that terrorism is man-made therefore preventable. Let's test that logic. Murder is man-made: is that preventable? Prejudice, lying, stupidity, accidents are man-made: are they preventable? Hypothetically, they could be, if we baby-proofed everything and adopted Big Brother. Let's not confuse hope and wish with practical reality.
@darkfur35 Thepoints he makes are serious not childish and his intelligence is obvious. You obviously don't agree with him but your comments do not advance your case. I suspect you do not have one (a case) or that you are too childish or unintelligent to advance one. Which is it?
@darkfur35 How did I insult you? what was childish about my comments? I proved your case???? How could I? You don't appear to have one, or you are not capable of expressing it. Which one is it?
@1212JackJohnson Come on, your inactivity is proving my points are correct. It would appear that you dont have the basis for a discussion - why go on u-tube and make infantile comments that you can't defend? It makes your case (and you) look worse, why do you do it ? I'd love to know. Please defend yourself, and your point of view.
@darkfur35 I see no case made in your comments and the comments against you have proven their intelligence and proven your lack of intelligence. If anyone needs to grow up, it's you. The fact that you used the word "childish" means that you have an inferiority complex and that trying to play people off as young and uneducated is the only way you can feel better about yourself. Go back to school, get a good education, and then maybe you can voice a solid argument. Not right now though.
Andrew Sullivan is full of shit. The British suspended plenty of rights of its citizens during the Troubles. Ever heard of the Guilford Four? The MacGuire seven? Torture? Shoot, in 2005 British security forces were shooting innocent people dead after the bus bombings. So sick of these people talking about how wonderful Europe is in every conceivable way and how stupid Americans are. Yeah, the Patriot Act is a load of shit, but the US isn't the only country to have ever done such a thing..

@r70stunna A country that will implement sanctions on a defeated country like Iraq, that ends up killing 500,000 kids under the age of 5, and whose spokeswoman says when asked if it was worth it, and she says 'yes, it was worth it', knowing of the kids death, does make you wonder who the real terrorists are. I won't say anything about the IMF&WorldBank that bilks third world countries making them debtor nations to the richest ones&the Investor class, frankly because it PISSES ME OFF!! Peace&love
@r70stunna And the word 'terrorist' was early on first used to describe an attack on the King David Hotel by Palestinians....no....wait...it wasthe Israeli Irgun who did the attack& BLAMED the Palestinains for doing the deed. The Israelis are not beneath killingtheir own if it will suit their propaganda media war against Arabs, specifically the Palestinians.Since 1948 the world has been in denial of the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians by the Zionists to create their state of Israel So sad.
@r70stunna Perhaps my picture doesn't show my goatee which most women don't have:) It is sir, tho' that is not so imporant as the points being made. I am aware the number of dead may be far higher, but reportedly it is 150,000. & I didn't mention the displaced Iraqi refugees of over 1.5 million, nor did I mention the injured Iraqis. Then there are those Iraqis who were used as interpreters for the US who are now being killed by their countrymen, tho US made promises for their safety.
3000 US Americans died in 9/11, so the US invades and kills 150,000 innocent Iraqis in response. Really. Yet the reason there was a 9/11, the US unconditional, unequivocal, with no conditions put to Israelis that protects the occupied Palestinians from settlers and the IOF on their own land, support and millions daily given to Israel that promotes their apartheid state. That is why 9/11 happened, to get the attention of the world, desparate people do desparate things
@nash984954 You make some excellenct points sir/ma'am. I can tell that you are very intelligent and have done your research. There was more than 150,000 Iraqis killed however, I have heard estimates between 600,000 and 1.1 million with around 1/3 of those being children under the age of 14. Makes you wonder who the real terrorists are in the world huh?
The U.S was not attacked because of its freedoms or because of religion.It was attacked because of it foreign polices,its support for dictators,terror groups and death squads around the world.Its true that it was attacked by religious extremists but not because they are religious extremists.Religion and freedom had nothing to do with it.
The Brit is such a liar!!! They absolutely suspended the rights of the people in Northern Ireland and jailed people under special laws for terrorism. He is completely wrong to say they were told to carry on. What plante is he on?!?!?!?
Wait, what?!? Hurricanes are caused by fluctuations in ocean temperatures? No frickin' way!! I was told they were caused by god's wrath against the abomination of gay marriage!!
@rmcdaniel423 just do what i do when confronted with real fact, get in a dark corner, huddle up in the fetal position and just keep repeating "because the bible says so" over and over till you forgot why u were scared.
He's a bit naive about Britain though. There was a saying: "Innocent until proved Irish". For a while, when IRA spokesmen were interviewed on TV, they had actors lip-synching their words because of a law that terrorist were not allowed to speak in the media. You can't find a public trash can or luggage locker in London, because some terrorist might put a bomb in one. So the Brits aren't any better.
"It's the President's job to defend the Constitution and our liberties not our security" - I think he's missing the point. Without security, you have no liberty... "Everyone gets to vote, you just have to make it through the minefield and the snipers to do it."
@tyrthedisipliner Absolutely true...he did say that. However, to use that as an excuse not to do perform your duty seems to be just as bad. What would we say to a policeman who doesn't break down a door when he hears someone screaming on the other side? His excuse could be that it was private property and he didn't have a warrant but as a society we have exceptions to these situations known as common sense.
@rolling126r There's common sense and then there is essentially a police state, Terrorism isn't about the people it may kill in a year which has only ever been about a fraction of those that die from obesity every year. Terrorism is about creating fear, stripping your enemy of their freedom and imposing your will on them. Got to be said they've achieved pretty much all of them and we still think we're the winners.
@Mechaghostman3 Looking at the data which is available, the earth is warming since more than 200 years. You might question how much of it is caused by humans. And you might doubt that humans can do anything against it.
But don't call it a hoax. It is based on real data.
I wonder what the sub-titles actually said? At least once I saw the Czech word for Muslim, but the speaker did not use the word AT ALL in his several sentences. He was talking about security, and enemies, and President Obama, but he did NOT mention Islam, or Muslims at that time. Hmmmm....?
What he said is true, but it was also an irrational correlation. There's an obvious difference between accidental death and murder. Equating the two is either stupid or dishonest. I don't think Maher is stupid.
@r70stunna Too many people can't handle the truth in this country. Religion is the prime truth barrier in this country, and our divided politics is a close second.
Um...England might have gone on with a stiff upperlip, but they did also start torturing suspected terrorists and IRA members, and keeping people arrested without conviction.
@Othelie A bit like America? And the IRA have never tortured anyone have they? All saints are they? Knee capping their own, killing soldiers, blowing up civilian targets, running extortion, ect. Big boys games big boys rules.
@gazthefunky39 I'm not calling the IRA the good guys, far from it. But the better then you attitude of the guy has isn't warranted. He's claiming that the British were all rational and calm and thinking only of civil liberties, when in fact they did take some drastic steps to prevent terror.
@Othelie I don't think he says that at all. The British responded quite calmly and rationally to the attacks which lasted nearly 100 years. Technically we could have acted like the Americans and arrested or killed everyone that was a suspect, British Army Intelligence kept tabs on most IRA members and could have killed the lot, but knew this was no way to help the situation and don't forget in Ireland there are people that want to be part of the UK.
Ironic that some of the bombs going off in the Uk were supported by certain Americans, but when it happens in the US all shit breaks loose. The thing is most Americans don't know a thing about why the British are in Ireland.
@MrIrishBilly Right lets put things straight here it's British not English. And there are 2 factions in NI loyalists and republicans, the loyalists want to be part of the UK and the Republicans don't. So what to do? Leave the Loyalists or support them? And as for transgressions, blowing up shopping centres and killing kids? Tell you what my kids live in Sweden bet in 2 generations their not talking of the "Old country". It's laughable and illogical. Any way like you say 1,000 years and all that.
@MrIrishBilly Out of context quoting, I like it. I was talking about my kids kids after 2 generations referring to England as "The Old Country" like "Irish Americans" as illogical and laughable. I could probably say I'm Irish English. Welsh and Scottish soldiers served in Ireland doesn't stop the IRA from noting that and not killing them does it? Personally I would unite it, mind you what would the bailout figure be for a united Ireland? How many Bn from the UK?
@MrIrishBilly What are you talking about? Northern Ireland is British because it wants to be British and "what's important to understand" is that Northern Ireland will only ever unify if it chooses to.
@MrIrishBilly Mostly, I agree. But for me, freedom fighters stop being freedom fighters and instantly become tools of a government just like their foes when innocents continue to be their targets. Citizens shouldn't suffer for their government's greed and avarice. Societies in which the vote changes things evolve slowly but attrition always abides. The following generation will always find a smarter way of continuing any just fight.
@MrIrishBilly no one gives a shit about ireland, its full of alcoholics gingers gypsys and wife beaters. englands just a better place and will always own a part of you fuckers.
@MrIrishBilly You know, more and more people MY AGE, 22, live at home still due to the fact that living on your own is hella expensive and the economy is shit. That assertion makes absolutely NO SENSE and it's just wrong for you to make it.
@MrIrishBilly Oh believe me, I would if I could AFFORD TO, I can't though because my job pays horribly, I'm in college, and can't afford either rent, utilities, a car, or to have more hours so that I can afford these things. It's not that I don't want to move out, it's that I seriously CAN'T. You need to learn understanding and tolerance, as it appears you have very little.
As much as I agree with Bill Mahr, the English guest is giving a typical apathetic and politically biased reponse.
Whilst the British authorities were reluctant to infringe on the liberties of it's own citizens, it never hesitated to completely ignore those of Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland. Internment without trial; the Fall's curfew; active collusion with parimilitaries (Glenanne Gang) Gerrymandering.
@warriorprince1010 By that same logic, the British Government compromised their position of moral authority when they shot dead Stephen Geddis (10); Francis Rowntree (11); Stephen McConomy (11); Patrick Rooney (9); Majella O'Hara (12); William Warnock (3); Sean O'Riordan (13) - and countless others.
The British Government infringeded on the liberties of entire communities in the pursuit of terrorist groups. The interviewee perhaps forgot about that fact.
@warriorprince1010 "I" was just as bad as anyone else? Are you referring to me as a terrorist?
You do realise that there is a clear divide between a terrorist and a civilian? One must be able to make this distinction, otherwise one can expect to inflame community tensions. The British Govt failed to make this distinction and succeeded in creating a generation of jaded Catholics and Protestants.
@FacnyCatFighter The IRA failed to make a clear divide between 1 year old girls and maiking a political point. The IRA killed children so they were as bad as anyone else. Move on, you are sounding more stupid by the day.
@warriorprince1010 I'm not here to defend the actions of the IRA or any other parimilitary organisation. My point is, the British Government cannot assume a position of moral authority, nor can they distance themselves from their own actions.
In order to move on, they must recognise that they too played a part in perpetuating the conflict through violence. This has only recently begun to happen, with the Saville inquiry and other investigations.
@FacnyCatFighter "My point is, the IRA cannot assume a position of moral authority, nor can they distance themselves from their own actions." Thats better. " In order to move on, they must recognise that the IRA too played a part in perpetuating the conflict through violence."
I can't believe I heard him say "We don't start a war on cars." o.O
You cannot ignore someone who is a predator and has you in their line of sight. You can sit there and play every rule by the book and as you do so, your predator will get you by cutting short of his own. Remember, predators have rules too and they will break each and every one of them just to win. I use the word PREDATOR because that is what they become (besides terrorists) when we use Bill's logic here.
I dont know about you, but if you have ever been bullied at any point in your life, you know first hand that the bully will never cease to harass you unless you do something about it. Walking away will just make him come up behind you and beat you senseless. The US is no longer a christian only nation. But Al Qaida sees us that way. Stop the bully, stop the bleeding.
@SledgHammer11 Man, Al Qaida is really not the one you should worry about right now. Really. It's not Al Qaida that will cause your downfall if it ever happens.
@Qopel no where in the constitution does it say "dont stand up against evil." You dont sit back and allow something like that to go without a repercussion. At the time, it was the right thing to do. But its probably better that we are trying to get our troops home now.
@mct6426 No sir. At the time it was NOT the right thing to do. There were no WMD and Saddam had NOTHING to do with 9/11. Those were LIES. The right thing to do was what Obamma did and take out bin Ladden. Nowhere (one word) in the Constitution does it say that the president can start a war without congress (which is what Bush did).
@Qopel hahaha dont you dare give Obama credit for killing Osama. Obama said he was "pulling the troops out." Bush is the one that put that plan in motion
@mct6426 How can Bush put it in motion when he said, "I don't know where he is. I'm not that concerned about him"! watch?v=xLTz-p0ZYKc&feature=related
@Qopel yes, that's correct. but dont take it out of context. Listen to his reasoning, he was concerned with him at a time. But over time, Osama lost his power. he had no influence over the taliban anymore. So bush had no interest in wasting too much money&time trying to hunt down the guy. He set it in motion, but he was no longer his number 1 priority. which seems reasonable to me
@Qopel yes, that's correct. but dont take it out of context. Listen to his reasoning, he was concerned with him at a time. But over time, Osama lost his power. he had no influence over the taliban anymore. So bush had no interest in wasting too much money&time trying to hunt down the guy.

@mct6426 and yet it happened on Obama's watch. In the 8 years that dubya was in power he didn't ever come close, by his own admission, by the way. I think Obama knows a lot more about warfare than that texan bible bashing redneck.
@mct6426 Er why shouldn't we give credit to Obama for killing Osama? Was it not his call to go into Pakistan without telling them we're coming? Quite a risky call if you ask me and if it went bad Obama would have certainly taken the blame. So you can't have it both ways.
@mct6426 in britain we are used to terroist attacks since ww2 we got bombed every day hell even recently in the 7/7 bombings, we dont scream about the injustice of a certain day and destory the world and ourselves in the process, we are better than they are, we just accept what happened. if you declare war on a country and enroch on there people you will make prepetual blood shed every death will create more hatred toward your country, the sins of our fathers, will kill the young.
Let’s work to eradicate all religion. Conversely, begin a relationship with Jesus Christ today. You need to repent. Yes, you. Moreover, you should ask God for eternal forgiveness through applying the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ to your life of sin within the quietness of your bedroom tonight. As an unrepentant sinner myself, I made this decision around 15 years ago. This is the most important decision that you could ever make. - Romans 10:9-10
Whats the biggest threat; terrorism or climate change? There is no profit in reducing dependance on fossil fuel and natural gas to help sustain out environment but there is profit in invading country's that have huge fossil fuel reserves in the name of "the war on terror"
The Brit obviously had never been aware of the draconian laws such as The Special Powers Act,The Anti Terrorism Act and earlier during the 70s Internment without Trial used against Irish insurgents in the north of Ireland ,a part of the UK,all of these laws against the Irish allowed detention indefinitely without trial,torture and extra-judicial killings by the state.
@oceallaigh2003 I suppose I better correct this before this miss information spreads. The Special Powers Act (1922) allowed for the detention without trial of suspected terrorists. It was passed by the Northern Irish Parliament, not the Westminster one and was repealed in 1973 when the Northern Irish Parliament was abolished and the province was return to direct rule from London. "these laws" you refer to were in fact one law.
@LankyGeorge The reference to torture and extra-judicial killings is also misleading. Torture was used, but only water boarding. It was believed that water boarding caused not physical pain or damage (we now know this to be wrong) and was used in conjunction with early sensory disorientation techniques (not torture, although hardly pleasant).
@LankyGeorge With respect to "extra-judicial killings". Specials forces (such as the SAS) were often used as guards for suspected IRA targets (human and other-wise) with the intention of laying a trap for the terrorists.This is not extra-judicial killings. If somebody attempts to kill innocent people they must expect to be met by force. I suppose you would have been in favour of letting the terrorists just kill indiscriminately?
@LankyGeorge you obviously never heard of The Shoot To Kill Policy implemented by the British Gov,many innocent civilians were murdered by British forces in N Ireland and England,you need to read the history more,I lived there and know many families affected by murders and torture by the British State.
@LankyGeorge The Prevention of Terrorism Act replaced the Special Powers in 1973 when N Ireland was ruled directly by Westminster,it was the same draconian law by a different name,google it or look it up on Wikipedia,if you want to correct anyone you better know your facts first.
excellent point by maher, he makes a lot of them. but it's naomi klein who makes the real point that we are ignoring security by destroying the only planet we have.
@mechanicmike69- Also, is it really necessary for me to point out the most glaring hypocrisy you espouse in feverishly demonstrate in your insistence on posting incoherent rants and spewing foul insults on my channel while pre-emptively blocking my comments and preventing me from posting any kind of response at all on your channel.... I guess it's 'my bad' that I failed to learn your sense of self-serving argumentation,close-mindedness, & moral dullness. Ciao
"Due to the fact you want GOLD to be the driving factor, Dr. Ron Paul... I am changing my views of you and I now abandon support of your ideas. It is still wrong to have gold as money. This shows me exactly your weakness. You are trying to kill a dream beast sir. In actuality you do not understand. Your direction to make a gold coin as cash is actually extremely dangerous, You place a resource as cash and inflation will then completely transform into imperialism, only leaving destruction."

@NoSteveNoPoint Why, because I put someone like you in their place? I'll do the same to you if you wish. All you have to do is put up a "valid point". I know that's difficult, if not impossible for people like you, but give it a try. Who knows, maybe you'll surprise me. But the truth still stands right now that religion is the ultimate truth barrier with politics being a close second. If you can't prove me wrong, then don't try to voice your opinion because it's empty and void.

@coleyman1 I have a life and I'm quite proud of it, not that you'd understand. Maher points out the facts about recent events and reveals to everyone the flaws in the system and the harsh and ugly realities of the people he talks about. Every time he insults a someone, he does so based on the facts that surround the individual. You need to find a life because if that was your best argument, you'd better not respond because it's only going to get worse for you from here.

@Shadow07Warrior1989 You mistaked an insult for an argument. Maher doesn't believe in the truth, he, like 99.99% of these tv talking heads is there only for the money. If Fox were to offer him a bigger buck than where he is right now, then move over Hannity here comes Maher. You're world is so small and probably young as well, that you still have visions that there are people out there with a purpose in life. Well, there may be, but Maher is not one of them!

@coleyman1 You are a sad excuse for a human being and you insult the term "human intelligence" on every level. If Maher didn't care about the truth then why would he read facts, quotes, statistics and have people on his show who actually know what's going on and who openly state what should be happening in order to fix the country? Your logic, if you can even call it that, is so flawed and backwards it's not worth my time to bother arguing with you because you're defeating yourself.

Your assertion is that terrorism is man-made therefore preventable. Let's test that logic. Murder is man-made: is that preventable? Prejudice, lying, stupidity, accidents are man-made: are they preventable? Hypothetically, they could be, if we baby-proofed everything and adopted Big Brother.

He's a bit naive about Britain though. There was a saying: "Innocent until proved Irish". For a while, when IRA spokesmen were interviewed on TV, they had actors lip-synching their words because of a law that terrorist were not allowed to speak in the media. You can't find a public trash can or luggage locker in London, because some terrorist might put a bomb in one. So the Brits aren't any better.

@Othelie I don't think he says that at all. The British responded quite calmly and rationally to the attacks which lasted nearly 100 years. Technically we could have acted like the Americans and arrested or killed everyone that was a suspect, British Army Intelligence kept tabs on most IRA members and could have killed the lot, but knew this was no way to help the situation and don't forget in Ireland there are people that want to be part of the UK.

As much as I agree with Bill Mahr, the English guest is giving a typical apathetic and politically biased reponse.
Whilst the British authorities were reluctant to infringe on the liberties of it's own citizens, it never hesitated to completely ignore those of Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland. Internment without trial; the Fall's curfew; active collusion with parimilitaries (Glenanne Gang) Gerrymandering.
Clearly there is a case of selective memory.

In order to move on, they must recognise that they too played a part in perpetuating the conflict through violence. This has only recently begun to happen, with the Saville inquiry and other investigations.

@mct6426 in britain we are used to terroist attacks since ww2 we got bombed every day hell even recently in the 7/7 bombings, we dont scream about the injustice of a certain day and destory the world and ourselves in the process, we are better than they are, we just accept what happened. if you declare war on a country and enroch on there people you will make prepetual blood shed every death will create more hatred toward your country, the sins of our fathers, will kill the young.

Let’s work to eradicate all religion. Conversely, begin a relationship with Jesus Christ today. You need to repent. Yes, you. Moreover, you should ask God for eternal forgiveness through applying the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ to your life of sin within the quietness of your bedroom tonight. As an unrepentant sinner myself, I made this decision around 15 years ago. This is the most important decision that you could ever make. - Romans 10:9-10

Whats the biggest threat; terrorism or climate change? There is no profit in reducing dependance on fossil fuel and natural gas to help sustain out environment but there is profit in invading country's that have huge fossil fuel reserves in the name of "the war on terror"

The Brit obviously had never been aware of the draconian laws such as The Special Powers Act,The Anti Terrorism Act and earlier during the 70s Internment without Trial used against Irish insurgents in the north of Ireland ,a part of the UK,all of these laws against the Irish allowed detention indefinitely without trial,torture and extra-judicial killings by the state.

@oceallaigh2003 I suppose I better correct this before this miss information spreads. The Special Powers Act (1922) allowed for the detention without trial of suspected terrorists. It was passed by the Northern Irish Parliament, not the Westminster one and was repealed in 1973 when the Northern Irish Parliament was abolished and the province was return to direct rule from London. "these laws" you refer to were in fact one law.

@LankyGeorge The reference to torture and extra-judicial killings is also misleading. Torture was used, but only water boarding. It was believed that water boarding caused not physical pain or damage (we now know this to be wrong) and was used in conjunction with early sensory disorientation techniques (not torture, although hardly pleasant).

@LankyGeorge With respect to "extra-judicial killings". Specials forces (such as the SAS) were often used as guards for suspected IRA targets (human and other-wise) with the intention of laying a trap for the terrorists.This is not extra-judicial killings. If somebody attempts to kill innocent people they must expect to be met by force. I suppose you would have been in favour of letting the terrorists just kill indiscriminately?

@LankyGeorge you obviously never heard of The Shoot To Kill Policy implemented by the British Gov,many innocent civilians were murdered by British forces in N Ireland and England,you need to read the history more,I lived there and know many families affected by murders and torture by the British State.

@LankyGeorge The Prevention of Terrorism Act replaced the Special Powers in 1973 when N Ireland was ruled directly by Westminster,it was the same draconian law by a different name,google it or look it up on Wikipedia,if you want to correct anyone you better know your facts first.

@mechanicmike69- Also, is it really necessary for me to point out the most glaring hypocrisy you espouse in feverishly demonstrate in your insistence on posting incoherent rants and spewing foul insults on my channel while pre-emptively blocking my comments and preventing me from posting any kind of response at all on your channel.... I guess it's 'my bad' that I failed to learn your sense of self-serving argumentation,close-mindedness, & moral dullness. Ciao

"Due to the fact you want GOLD to be the driving factor, Dr. Ron Paul... I am changing my views of you and I now abandon support of your ideas. It is still wrong to have gold as money. This shows me exactly your weakness. You are trying to kill a dream beast sir. In actuality you do not understand. Your direction to make a gold coin as cash is actually extremely dangerous, You place a resource as cash and inflation will then completely transform into imperialism, only leaving destruction."

Bill Maher makes a lot of sense. Even though I believe he is a liberal, and I don't always agree with his words, but he makes some valid points.
