Why on earth this youtube choice of 'up next' video - Colin Powell "I tried to avoid the war." After watching the articulate genius & truth speaking of John Pilger, I would want to watch the lies and deceit of Colin Powell - really youtube, REALLY? Anybody else would agree I would rather watch more John Pilger than something from the opposite end of the brainwashing spectrum. So why is youtube placing these ridiculous 'up next' choices for us? Has anybody else noticed this?
I am very conservative and I despise political communism on socialism. And yet Pilger is one of my all-time heros! It's funny how the truth can bring us all together.. almost.
whats your problem 'bishop102' -got a problem with Aussies?? I assume your one of the small minority there in America who is arrogant and a fascist supporter right?? fukwit
Mr. Pilger is a wonderful; philosopher, speaker, and a hero of our day. We need to do what we can to protect the truth and those brave enough to speak it in public. Sinister forces are at work here, with endless bank accounts and media outlets/organizations trying to stop all of us from seeing that 2 + 2 = 4 on issues like the Middle-East conflict. And who is buying the truth or funding it? None of us want a world ran by the "thought-police", throw off their lies and look beyond the surface. 8)
@craig260691 yeah for sure. also the part about the British and Americans having to turn a blind eye while the Turks got on with bombing the Kurds in northern Iraq made my blood boil. since i read it tho, i haven't stopped researching! it literally did change my life!
yup same here, this and a book called The new pearl harbor by David Ray Griffin totally changed my mind about the way the world works. now when i watch the news its makes me laugh when they bullshit everyone about Israel.
@craig260691 lol its on my christmas wish-list, that and Confessions of an Economic Hitman which apparently is a staggering read as well. good for you tho man, good for both of us!

erm, this guy made a good documentary about the latin american countries and the cia involvement. But he is a misguided liberal at the end of the day, the trident missile and any military spending is not the problem, giving 500 billion of tax payers money to prop up banks is. This was a load of bs scaremongering, this financial "crisis" only affected those at the top,where as fuel got cheaper during that time,and supermarkets competed on food pricing more than ever!i thought shares were a gamble
I'm flabbergasted at how easily the public of the U.S. put up with this financial raid by the banking sector on their wealth. After reflection, I think that is well and good. The cunning and long of fang, always eat the fool, the weak, the slow of course. Americans deserve it. THey havent even complained. Let them be shorn, then. I quit in 2003. I will work no more forever. To work is unethical. The work ethic, is unethical. We have been lied to, for so long, so deeply.
Speaking of democratically elections,when was the last time there was an election in Cuba? If there is such as word in the Cuban dictionary. Or China for that matter? Or Russia? That John here likes to support
Speaking of democratically elections, when was there one in America that actually benefited the world?
This countries Cuba, China, Russia are already portrayed in the msm as 'evil' nations. Pilger is trying to point out that the West is in no way better than these countries. He's trying to show the side of the story the msm fails to mention.
Urban myth. John Pilger is a supporter of Cuba moron. Looks like you don't even know your own beloved Johnny boy here. U only watch 2 min clips & get your facts that way.
Did I ever say he didn't support Cuba you moro?. What are you takling about I've seen about 10 docu's from him and I got like 20 more on my computer, so don't make such unfounded statements.
"Did I ever say he didn't support Cuba you moro?" Congratulations you are even more retarded than I ever thought. I SAID that he supports Cuba who also happens to be a dictatorship who hasn't had a democratically elected govt in 60 yrs. Repressing millions of their OWN ppl who r now escaping to western nations to find a better life
Are your really this fucking stupid? You said: ''John Pilger is a supporter of Cuba moron. Looks like you don't even know your own beloved Johnny boy here.'' I replied by pointing out that I never said that John din't support Cuba. You don't know if they are escaping to western nations because of Castro. Many people in democratic 3rd world countries are also fleeing to the West simply because there are more oppurtunities there.
Yep you are stupid. I was pointing that if John supports Castro then he has no right criticising the Bush,Blair at all. B/c he supports a dictator! I don't know? You fuckhead,I am a cuban jerkoff so yes I would know that. And its a proven fact that thousands of ppl in Cuba are escaping over the border to Miami to get away from Castro & his cronies. I have lived in a communist regime,you haven't. So shut up. There you go,you said it yourself,there are more opportunities in a western country
There are more oppurtunities in western countries because they are economically superior since they have been exploiting 3rd world countries for centuries. Look at the fucking bigger picture instead of only democracy. Fact is that the Europe has taken alread over two other continents by almost annihilating their natives. They have colonised most of the rest of the world, leaving them in a fucked up position and....
now they are continuing this conquest by going to the Middle East which is together with East Asia the only land they haven't touched yet. I don't think Pol Pot and all those dictators managed to cause this much damage. Almost annihilating two peoples, using atomic bombs on two densily populated cities in which now the day children are still born misformed due to the radio-activity. It were Europeans that started the World Wars and the Cold War. Vietnam, Iraq, Afhanistan etc.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Pol Pot has in fact done more damage. Fact: After the atomic bomb was dropped,Japan became an industrialised country wth the help of the US making them 1 of the strongest countries in the world in terms of products,economic growth even higher than the US at some stage. Pol Pot killed millions in only 2 yrs. The Cold war was started by the Soviets moron,same with Vietnam war started by the North who decided to invade the south. Afghanistan was again started by the taliban. Misguided sheep u are
if you think the invasion of Afghanistan was about the Taliban you're head is way up your asshole. we are supposed to accept that Afghans scarificed their nation to war for some arab foreigners? because america says so? get your head out of your ass.
No jerkoff, Afghan was about what the fuckers had did to the WTC you terrorist sympathiser. How about I perform some of the practices on your whole family? Cut off their heads,not bc they did anything wrong but bc your mother went to work. Of course if it happens to you,its not ok but to other ppl,its ok
shut up dumbass, stop talking out of your asshole. you don't know shit clearly and shoving your nose up americas ass isn't going to make your dick bigger.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
no you shut up your terrorist sympathiser. You DON'T KNOW shit cos you sympathise for terrorists. If only that was your mother & father in the WTC,then you'd probably wouldn't be acting like a such left wing cry baby like Johnny boy here. Btw Saddam is having a gay sex orgy with Stalin & Lenin! BAHAHAHAHA!!!
Your the perfect specimen of a propaganda expirement gone according to plan. It's people like you that willbe the downfall of the US. Cuz you sympathize with the real terrorist.
@yourgasm The bombers of the WTC took revenge against the USA, for USA terrorist agression to their homelands earlier, don't you think ? Didn't the USA bomb Iraq in the 90's ? You might say that Iraq invaded Kuwait, but the Brittish stole Kuwait from Iraq, didn't they ? So, it seems that Brittain and the USA were the original agressors, were they not ??? So, it would be the Arabs who would have the right of reply. Agreed ???
@othres1 . Revenge wasnt the motive, that was the story. people cant grasp the idea that the real enemy is more covert and very much closer to home. We have to remove the layers of lies first.
The death toll of all these genocides is nothing compared to the death toll mentioned.
You probably lived too long in a bad situation in Cuba that you got everything better. But at least in totalitarian government you know that what your government is saying is propaganda unlike in the West where things are taken for granted.
But fuck it, I know these things wouldn't be aknowledged by that misguided brains of yours, so this is my last reply
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Urban myth. The dth toll of castro,stalin is way way way more higher than the west. Thats a fact. 60 million & still counting when u include North Korea into the pict also. In the west we don't take things for granted b/c we have something called democratic elections,opposition parties,DIFF types of media,docos opposing govt,etc to get your facts. You see I have been to dictatorship countries & have experienced it 1st hand whilst you,Johnny boy haven't.
That's a very strange place to cut JP off. Those that have seen his documentaries knows that he cares very much for the struggle of oppressed and terrorized people. What he's saying here is that if we should look first to sort our own affairs out, and the rest would have a far better chance. He knows full well how the UK's £4B have gone towards deliberately making Iraq into a terrorist factory.
Fact: You & a whole heap of other ppl on this board have turned the blind eye on 1 of their kind. There you go I've said time & time again & yet you have not come up with anything to defend Johnny Boy here on his support of tyrants himself. If he is such a believer of freedom & democracy he would also speak out against the tyrants I mentioned. C'mon,where's your defence of John? Ha! You have none!
I just love sticking it to the political correct crowd such as yourself b/c ppl like yourselves are what you call the true fascists of this world. Like Hitler,would excuse everything his own coons did but not the Jews. Kinda represents this whole conversation here eh
You are just like Hitler,you won't say a thing just like the KKK,Black panthers inspired scum who don't say anything when 1 of their own commits a serious crime against humanity. But hey when an opposition does something,oh no! Its considered evil! There you go I've owned you once again
Because you're a defender of Joh Pilger. NUff said. Thats exactly the same argument I have had with everybody else. Where's your defence of John? I'm still waiting. NOBODY & I mean NOBODY still has yet to justify John's support of the tyrants in latin America.
HGow predictable. Very well researched.I am not a defender of John Pilger. I came upon this video, just as you did. I saw the words of a sick little Psycho, and decided to tell you what I think of you. I rarely watch anything of Pilgers.
OH I know truth hurts when I spoke the truth about John. Its ok,keep hiding the fact that what I said about John here truly hurts. If you think you're so good,I'm waiting for you to even try to raise any pts that I have raised, if you have the guts to.
NO need to hide the fact that you are in fact a closet fan of John here. Besides the facts,you couldn't argue any of previous arguments that I made in my previous posts.
John's support is because he can see through your government's propaganda. Your government has tried to overthrow several goverments in South America because they weren't prepared to bow down to America's interests. They tried the same with Chavez but they failed horribly thanks to unity of the people of Venezuela. I mean these were democratically chosen leaders that your government overthrew while propagating their phony intentions to spread democracy!
He can't see through shit b/c he is leftwing cry baby who will find everything possible to criticise the west. As for Chavez,look how well this asshole turned out. Kissing up to Iran,Russia & even supporting the invasion of Georgia who also happens to be a FARC sympathiser. Oh yes keep denying everything,how is Cuba going btw? Wow thousnads of ppl each yr moving into Miami & John like Michael Moron prob refers to them as scum
Why do you conservatives politicize everything, everytime?
How is America btw. How are the mortgages going and the fucked up infrastructure. Or to be more personal, how is Australia? How is the suppression of Aboriginals going? Are they still dying from easily preventable diseases?
Aborigines are doing fine thank you. Aust govt like Rudd,Howard,Keating,Hawke have all done their bit by providing aid to the Aborigines. Btw,how is Cuba? Thats right they have to now start deregulating certain areas of their economy b/c its crumbling thats right. If those nations that Pilger loves so much is so great then go pack your bags & head off there. Enjoy living under a dictator
Oooh yes that's right. That's why Australia is the only Western nation that has been targeted by Amnesty International. And that's why thousands of aboriginals are still dying from preventable diseases. And that's why your government took aboriginals from their parents so that their kind will become diluted.
And I'm not saying this countries are so good, it's just this hypocrisy of Western nations that makes me so angry! And I'm far too busy exploiting the Netherlads to leave.
Only western nation on Amnesty international? LOL! Considering that Amnesty has at times been proven to be a bunch of biased individuals. Go do your research on my country before saying anything stupid. For your information we have implemented strong NT intervention to protect Aboriginal families. They are struggling but we are providing heaps of aid,now its basically up to the Aborigines to get off the booze,drugs.
Funny you mention the NT intervention since it has been proven that they don't even reach 10% of the medical checks necessary to service Aboriginal children. The $83 million medical intervention is against medical ethics, including National Health and Medical Research Guidelines, Medicare and guidelines on health screening issued by the Royal Australian College of General Practice. But fuck that, what they have done throughout history is one of the worst and longest genocides ever commited.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Urban myth about the NT intervention. The NT intervention was established to protect children being abused. It has done something but of course it is not going to reach everyone. We have been providing aid as much as possible to the Aborigines & in many areas,it is basically up to the Aborigines to get off the alcohol,drugs,stop abusing their children & get themselves going. You are just living in 1920 b/c we have apologised & allowed new legislation to past through to recognise Aborigines
You mean more like Europeans (including Americans who are genetically Europeans) who cut their crimes from history books and never talk about their own since they're to busy pointing out relatively small crimes of other nations.
And turning a blind eye on China's regime,Cuba's regime. But wait John won't say a thing about em at all b/c its ok cos as long as they are so called to the left we'll tolerate that. The only countries that cut their own crimes are in fact countries like China & Cuba who do it more than ever.
Oooh please!! Australia still has to apologize for the massacring and suppressing of aboriginals but they are still to busy continuing their policies to try and dilute/destroy the aboriginal population. And haven't seen Cuba or China(except for Tibet) attacking foreing nations in the last decades. The US has been in war since its fucking creation! THere is no way in hell that this is a coincidence or that the US has all this time been retaliating. The greatest killers are from the West!
Aust has not gone on about suppressing the Aboriginals now. You are so lost living in the past. Who launched the NT intervention? Who gives Aborigines free health care? Who is providing aid to the Aborigines? Aust is doin everything they can. In ref to that pathetic post about cuba & china not attacking other nations. Ok so Stalin was a great leader too then so is Kim Jong Il. Oh no he has killed millions of his OWN ppl. The greatest killers are the commie regimes. U have a long way to go buddy
You really are a stupid ignorant brainwashed sheep who would jump off a cliff with John here wouldn't you? Stalin,Mao Zedong,pol potKim Jong Il & Kim Il Sung alone have killed more of their own ppl than any other nation. If it wasn't for the west Hitler,Mussolini,Mao & Kim Il Sung would be ruling the world already
I didn't say nation you stupid ignorant brainwashed sheep, I said capitalists. The European imperialists + all those murderous Western leaders throughout history have killed tenfold as many people than those you mentioned together. There's no use speculating in s what would have happened if that or that didn't or did happen, it's a useless discussion because if the West wasn't there in the first place, the world would have beeen a completely different place, you and I can't even comprehend.
Another retard & quarters. Pol Pot & all those dictators have killed more ppl than the western so called imperialists. Everyone knows if the west was piss weak,soviet union would still be around,Castro would've ruled most of America. You can't comprehend on that for sure. The west do not come close to Pol Pot,Kim Il Sung,Ho Chi Minh,Stalin,Mao. And that is a fact. 60 million ppl since the 20th century started

Under all those dictators I mentioned,they had killed more ppl per head you stupid highly uneducated moron. Face the facts,more pol pot's ruling the world means more deaths than ever. Its a good thing that the west was able to clamp these dictators down. U probably felt sad that the S Union fell too you fucking ignorant bastard. You probably were upset that Gorbechev was in power

We're a lot more smarter than the dumb cry baby left wingers who want everything handed to them on a plate. Now if you're some Canadian then hail Stephen Harper!
Speaking of democratically elections,when was the last time there was an election in Cuba? If there is such as word in the Cuban dictionary. Or China for that matter? Or Russia?
You should truly watch some documentaires from John Pilger. They are very easy to watch and very educational since it's not the ordinary bullshit that you see on tv or what you learn in history. He interviews many reliable people from CIA agents, to former MP's, from normal civilians to highly educated historians. Watch for yourself. Since you're from Australia I recommend 'Welcome to Australia' and if you see any clear cut flaws then please mention them.
I have seen his left wing cry baby dribble about how much the west is evil. Yet he supports Chavez,Castro. Yeah so I guess its ok to support Hitler then from my view then. I get my sources not from TV, its the ABC that has brainwashed you with their left wing rhetoric
You are a left wing with your pathetic so called revolution like Pilger here. If you support dictators then you are a hypocrite just like John here. He supports dictators who massacre their own ppl so he has no right going on about himself here. If he was such a firm believer of democracy he would oppose Castro but wait! He is a commie so its ok. About Chavez,he is nothing more a Hitler himself. Getting rid of certain sectors to give himself more & more power
You're acting as if the only bad thing in the world is dictatorship and the best thing is democracy. And dozens of leaders have gotten rid of certain sectors to give themselves more power but wait!! Cavez is a commie so it's not OK. You're the true hypocrite. Dictatorships aren't necessarily evil; it is the dictator who is then evil or good. Just like democracies aren't necessarily good; it is the president or prime minister who is evil or good. And as if Australia or US haven't repressed ppl.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Dictators are in fact evil moron b/c they give themselves more power. Chavez started eliminating certain sectors of the govt so that he can have more & more power. In fact various leftists have now referred to him as being a Hitler. Look it up & cry. Many trade unions have also turned against him b/c of his policies
Another thing about Iran,the jerkoff wants nothing more but to wipe Israel off the map. The amount of deaths happening in Iran since 1980 was a lot higher than the previous govt. Women not allowed to work,if caught working,executed straight away. Drinking alcohol,adultery=immediate executions. Iran is virtually just like Afghanistan when the Taliban ruled
No its actually doing further research on the the weakness of your beloved Chavez. Like I said I never said I liked Pinochet you retard. And sure the rich don't need help but they also don't need to be fucked with also.
John Pilger is a brilliant and eloquent producer of fine documentaries. The comments of the detractors I've seen here are nothing but the ravings of the brainwashed blind. Their failure to dominate even their own native language attests to the worthlessness of their opinions
I am far more intelligent than you are and you know it. John Pilger is a stupid leftist scumbag who reaps on all the benefits in a capitalist society and yet bitches about how wrong they are. Get the fuck out! Once again you are owned
Hardly, your shallow mind is probably delusional enough to think yourself intelligent by parroting antiquated theories like those of Adam Smith, the assumptions upon which they are based, no longer apply.
I've stated the truth and yet you dodge all of my lovely points about this scumbag John Pilger and yet you can't handle my constructive criticism, hence proving how retarded you are. me 15, communist Slking 0.
Hahaha typical liberal pc jerkoffs. Once they get owned they fail to argue anything. Ahh it never seizes to amaze me. Once they know they have been beaten and made looking like an idiot they use try to hide their humiliation. You have not defended your lover boy Johnny here so as if you can talk. Capitalist free market 16, commie 0

John Pilger is just a stupid filthy leftist who doesn't what he is talking about. Fact,he criticises America's intervention into Chile and installing Pinochet but he gives praises to scumbag tyrants like Hugo Chavez. Yes jerkoffs,Chavez wants to give himself more & more power so he can become the dictator for life. He also gives praise to ruthless dictators like Castro. Pathetic John,just go & kill yourself with a gun
Respectfully I disagree with you comments yourgasm. Regarding Mr. Pilger, I've just seen his 2003 documentary concerning the so called "War on Terror" where he actually discloses the respective sources of his allegations against the American administration.
Also, pertaining to Mr. Chavez, yes; he may indeed want to re-write Venezuela's constitution for his own personal gains but at least he puts his aims to a democratic vote.
Aims to the democratic vote? What rigging elections? Manipulating the media? Closing down channels that oppose. Yeah democracy flows there. And to make matters worse this pathetic scumbag John especially on his latest doco goes to some socialist dictatorship countries & won't say a thing about their human rights abuses. Not once have I heard him say a thing about Cuba or Hugo Chavez.
Yes, I have heard and read everything you've written about the Chavez regime - ironically from a few of our 'non-manipulated' media sources. You make some good points yourgasm but surely if he had rigged the last referendum, why did he lose?
Maybe Chavez acted way too hastly on things. I think he asked for the referendum change at such a quick & sudden time. As for the elections being rigged,maybe rig is not the right word but lets take a look at the way the media was controlled in his state. The results were not to the margin as shown.
Another thing can you imagine the amount of flack America would cop if they had a leader just like Hugo Chavez? But hey cos its some latin American country,its considered ok in the eyes of the politically correct crowd. But if Clinton,or Obama acted like this,my God everyone would demand a public hanging straight away.
i dont know exactly what you have been taking but its obvious to myself and probably alot of other people that you dont have the first clue of what your talking about, here is a fact chavez has won eight democratic elections, installed free medical centres, educated the poor and included all classes of citizens in his socialist politics
whilst pinochet who was never democraticly elected but merely handed power by the american military then he sent death squads into the streets to kill people who thought twice about protesting aabout this unwanted government and i am not talking about just men but women and small children were slaughtered in the streets and who ever survived were rounded up and kept hostage in sports stadiums,so go and read some real history and educate your ignorent self.
Pinochet was evil yes. But if you're saying Chavez educated the poor here's what I gotta say about Pinochet. Pinochet boomed the economy of Chile,drove inflation down,interest rates down,unemployment down and b/c if his reforms Chile is enjoying the prosperity thx to the previous reforms. And Chile's economic growth is still 1 of the highest in latin America.
yes you cant dispute the economics of pinochet's regime but to compare chavez's government to that of pinochet on any level i thought was wrong, chavez is a humanitarian in many ways yes sometimes he is brash and probably does alot of things that he should'nt but is'nt it refreshing to see a leading politician trying to stand up for what he believes in rather than cowing to the imperial empire of the western democracies.
He can disagree but opening up his big mouth towards Spain. Thats right those lovely & hastly words he used constantly calling the former president of Spain a fascists constantly & doing it constantly. I mean get over it he was voted out and when the king told him to shut up,he goes into a hissy fit.
HAHAHAHAHAHA. You are by far the most brainwashed blindsighted individual I have ever come across. You stupid jerkoff, Chavez has eliminated many sectors of the govt giving him more & more power. He is turning his country into a dictatorship. Oh yes another thing,threatening to break off ties with Spain just cos someone told him to shut up.
i am afraid it isnt myself who is blindsighted or brainwashed i have actually have been to venezuela and found much support amd opptimism about the country's future from people i spoke to and i have freinds and family members who live there and they say that they have a better life now chavez is in power and they feel proud to have a man leading their country who is'nt afraid to speak up when others would'nt
Yeah so have I and I have spoken to ppl who have stated that Chavez is nothing but a dictator. The point being if you're using family as a source of info I'll do the same. let's not forget that Chavez is doing to shut every single 1 of them up. Now if Bush or Blair did this he would be flammed to death by the left media.
what the hell is the left media i dont see any media coverage which you could call left wing anywhere in the mainstream media coverage of many subjects from global warming propoganda to the war on terror and the constant onslaught of ridiculous celebrity personas and unflinching support of consumerism is all heavily dictated by the governments of democratic countries such as the uk and us and australia.
Left media the pathetic Hollywood crowd who constantly go about how right the democrats are and how wrong the republicans are. As long as it has the words Democrats in it its considered ok. Let's not forget the pathetic global warming shit now even more popular made by that coon Al Gore. Anyways I'm still waiting on your point about Dictator Chavez
as i have stated chavez for me is a refreshing change in latin american politics i think that alot of the negative media coverage of him is mainly propoganda perpetuated by the american security forces and congress the bottom line with chavez is he knew that to better the poor people of venezuela he would have to be tough with the american government over the oil supply to america and demand a fair price instead of being ripped off like the past venezuelan governments.
i know people say there is alot of censorship going on in venezuela but in the three months i was there last year i did'nt see any i mean you had tv shows at 10 in the morning stating that the man was a nazi and the son of satan all sorts of crazy stuff like that now maybe i don't understand censorship but to me that isn't being censored in any way!
As I stated Pilger is a coon and so is Chavez. As I STATED Chavez is a big mouth scumbag. Censorship? You mean trying to nationalise things and giving himself more power so that he can shut out opposition. Helping the poor ppl & at the same time damaging the other ppl.
What do mean "coon"? Do you understand the origin of this word? Seems to me that your the "big mouth scumbag". Don't you know that business is booming in Venezuela? On the subject of "nationalizing", don't you know that Chile's nationalized copper firms are a major source of it's export revenues? What nonsense about Chavez "helping poor ppl" & "damaging the other ppl"? What people? Where are the mass graves? Who are the disappeared? If Chavez is a dictator what was Pinochet?
Another thing Ruper Murdoch has had leanings towards both wings. He gave praise to centre left PM Kevin Rudd so if you're trying to imply that he is a conservative,you're wrong there. Left media by Michael asswipe Moore. Moron. Another thing I didn't praise Pinochet dumbfuck. Damn you truly are a retard aren't ya? I never said shit about him being great
i really dont understand your thinking or how you have formed your oppinions on an issue that it seems you dont understand fully. chavez has said he will step down after his next presidential term because he put the vote for the change of the constitution to the people and he was defeated that does not sound like he is trying to give himself more power but merely trying to run a democratic state which is inclusive of its poorest citizens.
I highly doubt Chavez would step down. We'll wait & see afterall he acted too hastly on the referendum to give himself the honor of being president for life. Now hes probably doing the whole 'i'm stepping down' thing then will eventually draw some sympathisers. We'll see what Chavez is up to in the next term
true i suppose, you never know what is going to happen but i would like to make this point to you if chavez is a dictator and that is a big if then the argument can be made that people who live in a dictatorship are in many ways more fortunate than those of us who live in so called democratic countries, citizens (mostly the poor) of major democratic countries are ignored time and time again on major issues.
i live in britain at the moment so i will give some examples britain has joined the eu even though the vast majority of people on the street did'nt want it to happen and we never even got the referrendum that was promised by the government on the issue that is not very democratic, is it?
another example would be the city where i live is currently having a rennaissance and are wanting to build new buildings for hotels and shops and posh upmarket town houses on some land where the is apporoximately 350 families living in exisiting housing which is in no need of restoration or repair
they have been told they will be given half of the commercial value of their properties because the council are buying the land not the buildings as all the buildings are going to be demolished and there is'nt anything that can be done about it cos believe it or not the legal system is on the side of the council, sound democratic again i would say no!
As for the council thing. Sure there is going to difficulties but Britain is a much better place to live than lets say Venezuela. If you love Venezuela so much then why don't you go live there yourself?
Another thing about Chavez,how democratic is it when he threatened to cut off oil shipments if the US criticise his voting results. No wait but its ok for him to criticise the US & Bush. If you want to criticise someone then have the balls to face being criticised yourself!
I think you would probably do yourself more credit if your skills in the English language were such to imply you were not posting under the auspices of either an grossly atrophied intelligence or profound aclohol abuse. However, I suspect that at least one or both of these suppsoitions may infact be the case.
I think you would do yourself more credit by just putting a shotgun to your head than being a supporter of this marxist asshole. Nuff said, you support Johnny boy here. That proves your stupidity.
The answer is yourself b/c I clearly pointed the hypocrisy of the 'wannabe' activist here. And the fact that you are a supporter of him proves how stupid or if not even more retarded than you truly are. Sorry dude, facts are facts and its clear once again you like all other hippies,have nothing left to defend their fraudulent activist here.
really? very smart answer... "facts are facts"... like the Saddams weapons? This is a fact not? oh yes, you couldnt find them...
and you speak about "fraudulent activist"?! jaja, you are lost dude... because your answer "proves how stupid or if not even more retarded than you truly are."
Facts are facts. Fidel Castro is a tyrant yet Johnny boy says nothing about human rights abuses there. Hugo Chavez is literally giving himself more & more power by shutting down opposition parties (well he is doing the best he can) but John turns the blind eye and supports this. There you go I proved you wrong once again. You my friend a fraud just like the idiot who thinks he can make documentaries.
its amaizing how you uppon your finger and say "you are a tyrant"... Batista was a tyrant too... but how he was pro US "everything is fine". Just wacht Psicko and you will see who lives better.
Fact: America became more & more anti Batista and thats a fact! America was getting annoyed at the way Batista was handling his own ppl and eventually wihtdrew their support for him hence allowing Castro to fuck him 1 right over. Sicko?LOL!Idiot nuff said,believing that Michael Moron another fat fuck who knows jackshit. He says UK has a good healthcare system,excuse me waiting lists are still very high jerkoff!
Congratulations dickhead! I clearly summed it up correctly and you had nothing left to say like most hippies who dodge points when I nailed them right in the coffin.
you dont have to insult if you are short of answers... or brain.
you are another one who belives this is white or black... i feel sorry for you, you are another blind... who make this world more dangerous what it should be.
Insult short of answers? Mate your puny little brain basically sums everything with the response you have just given me. Typical PC liberal wimps, once they see that they have nothing else to say they go with the whole "Oh I feel sorry for you,you don't have an answer". It never seizes to amaze me. 1 more thing SADDAM IS STILL DEAD! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!! I shot Che Guevera!
Innocent women? As oppose to the millions that Saddam had murdered? You're not a commie? LMAO!! Right and Hitler wasn't an extreme fascist. No he wasn't evil. Afterall you admire asswipes like Johnny boy here who happens to admire Castro, Chavez & who knows Iran also if I'm not surprised. Wait a min you probably support Iran & North Korea judging by your stupidity. Still haven't packed your bags yet & off to Cuba?
I never said "Hitler wasn't an extreme fascist", what i said, you are doing the same what germans did at 39.
What i support, is stop to belive you have the gods power to be over the UN. Thats all, when you people understand this, this is going to be a safer planet
Doing the same as to what Germans did? You idiot,its called liberating an empire that is ruled by a tyrant. There is a difference,just like WW2, we came in to stop the Nazis from persecuting the Jews just like coming into Iraq to stop Saddam from persecuting his own ppl.
about Chavez, he was elected 2 times... who were tried to be removed by a coupe by US orders. who is the "real tyrant"? who won an election or who tried to remove him by force?
this is a fact fact... and you should lear South American history first.
"You my friend a fraud (and an ignorant) just like the idiot who thinks he can make (relativize) documentaries."
this man speak the truth... you should listen him, or you are still busy looking for saddams weapons?
It was a damn good idea to remove Chavez b/c afterall we now all see what he is like. Short tempered who threatened Spain only b/c someone told him to shut up. Yes lets try to hold a referendum so he can stay in power for life. Who knows what the fuckhead wants next. I wouldn't be surprised if he even tried something just to stay on for even longer. Another thing dipshit,Chavez is also pro North Korea! Nuff said,YOU do your research and KNOW what you are talking about.
Respect Saddam or let's respect Kim Jong Il, Stalin, too who riggs elections, kills or represses opposition. Yeah dude fair point. Its a good thing the strong western power is in place or else the Soviet Union would've been in power still. No wait you are a supporter of the Soviets, I forgot. Idiot
Typical hippie remark. Once again not knowing the reasons why it was safer to use Saddam considering the circumstances at the time. Fact Iran fucked America over hence Saddam was the lesser of the 2 evil. Iran was the bigger threat and damn right they deserved a professional ass kicking & a half.
"considering the circumstances"... UN said NOT WEAPONS! THERE US NO CIRCUNSTANCES to do an unilateral attack over another country with out the permision of the UN. that was the reason why UN was created, to not have another poland again.
You are the hippie with no morals whatsoever. You failed to see the amount of ppl Saddam killed vs the amount of ppl that were bombed. There is a much bigger difference b/w the 2.
if your moral means murder inocent people, i keep my peace... i will repeat you, yesteday when saddams wasnt usefull to you he wasnt soo bad? or may be Rambo fighting with Talibans agains soviets? this show's you dont care a shit what he did (done testing YOURS weapons), you only care the natural resourses.
A small proportion of ppl die as oppose to the millions Saddam killed. Yeah and just sit there and let many many more die. As for the US fighting the with the Taliban. Let me enligten you dumbfuck. The SU decided to invade Afghanistan only bc of instability in that region. Therefore the US tried very hard to respect the sovereignity of Afghanistan. They did the right thing back then b/c nobody knew that Afghanistan would be a failed state.
And allow the next million die under the tyrant & allow your families lives to be threatened each day by Saddam & his cronies. Its a called a war,ppl are going die just like WW2 so I guess we should kick back also about WW2. And of course the lovely Vietnam War & allow the Vietcong to execute 3 million innocent civilians.
Right and for your information let's take a good look at how perfect the UN was. Who refused to sanction the Kosovo war after it was clear that Slobadin Milosevic was committing acts of genocide on millions of ppl. For your information its called saving the future lives of many other Iraqis who will die
And to add more to that taliban, you see once again the taliban weren't proven as evil as what the Soviets did. So the US thinking that if the SU leave,we respect Afghanistan's existence, everything would be fine. Only to find that this country wouldn't turn out like that in the 1990s. Nobody can make those predictions but it was the right thing to do which was to drive the SU out
He never was useful,the new Iran govt was a instigating terrorist activities around the world. Oh yes keep denying everything,the hundreds of soldiers that were held hostage & who knows what was going to happen. It was payback for Iran for messing with us,nothing wrong with that. Its not hypocrisy,its strategic thinking to punish the terrorist fucker who was killing millions of his own ppl
Pilger is a wannabe hippie like I said dozens of times with a constructive view I have provided. He is a supporter of castro, nuff said. As for Saddam,its called smart strategic thinking,use Saddam then fuck him over. Serves him right for repressing his own ppl
I do care about ppl. I care about the amount of ppl that are being killed off by their tyrants moron. Fact Saddam is an admirer of Hitler who killed millions of his own ppl. So I support stopping this asswipe from killing his own ppl. Btwe Saddam is dead! And Johnny boy here is still wrong & a hypocrite
Saddam was not put in by America. He used his own power to get into the top of his Baath party. You are an idiot. An idiot with no real education whatsoever. Thank you for proving to everyone that John Pilger supporters are nothing but retards
LOL. For your information Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr was forced out b/c of his ill health. Saddam was appointed general and took charge therefore enhancing his power even more and overtook his mentor. Idiot
..."Saddam was strongly linked with the CIA, and that U.S. intelligence, under President John F. Kennedy, helped Saddam's party seize power for the first time in 1963"...
he never took alone nothing, you settle there his ass. its your fault. idiot
For your information the time in the 60s he was not tyrant. He was trained but was not put in power. There's a diff b/w the 2. He stormed into power meaning the time he stepped into power was the use of his own powers. Its that simple, we are talking the time he became leader of his own country. He used his position to intimidate ppl.
"in the 60s he was not tyrant. He was trained but was not put in power." we all knows that. if he murdered to your interest, he is not a tyrant... if he murdered against your interest or to his own interesnt, you will use that to call him a tyrant.
this proves how hipocriticals you are.
btw, you gave to him the chemicals weapons... so, you trained, you put him in the power, an you support him IN the power... when he was usefull.
Very good argument. Nobody can predict he will be a asswipe. Just like you,I wouldn't know that in 20 yrs time (even though it took 2 hrs) to figure out you are an asswipe. Why don't we just randomly kill ppl JUST IN CASE any one of those idiots will be a future tyrant. Idiot. Like I said using 1 evil to get rid of the bigger evil which was Iran. No we did not put him in power,he came to power himself by working his way up.
Not to smoke it in the party. To get rid of another evil Iran. Only to find he abused it so we don't like it. I THINK more about the truth than some hippie like yourself who watches 20 min video youtube & believes it straight away. Sheep
huuuuuu the evillllllll iran... the world its ruled by evil or goodness, its ruled by interest. this is a respond what i can wait for a 10 years olds child.
you are the worst, because you uppon your finger to call "evil" when they dont do what you want. again, you dont care iraqui or iranian people, you want the oil what it is under their feets.
Why on earth this youtube choice of 'up next' video - Colin Powell "I tried to avoid the war." After watching the articulate genius & truth speaking of John Pilger, I would want to watch the lies and deceit of Colin Powell - really youtube, REALLY? Anybody else would agree I would rather watch more John Pilger than something from the opposite end of the brainwashing spectrum. So why is youtube placing these ridiculous 'up next' choices for us? Has anybody else noticed this?

Mr. Pilger is a wonderful; philosopher, speaker, and a hero of our day. We need to do what we can to protect the truth and those brave enough to speak it in public. Sinister forces are at work here, with endless bank accounts and media outlets/organizations trying to stop all of us from seeing that 2 + 2 = 4 on issues like the Middle-East conflict. And who is buying the truth or funding it? None of us want a world ran by the "thought-police", throw off their lies and look beyond the surface. 8)

This countries Cuba, China, Russia are already portrayed in the msm as 'evil' nations. Pilger is trying to point out that the West is in no way better than these countries. He's trying to show the side of the story the msm fails to mention.

Many people in democratic 3rd world countries are also fleeing to the West simply because there are more oppurtunities there.
vivalarevolution1220 3 years ago
Yep you are stupid. I was pointing that if John supports Castro then he has no right criticising the Bush,Blair at all. B/c he supports a dictator! I don't know? You fuckhead,I am a cuban jerkoff so yes I would know that. And its a proven fact that thousands of ppl in Cuba are escaping over the border to Miami to get away from Castro & his cronies. I have lived in a communist regime,you haven't. So shut up. There you go,you said it yourself,there are more opportunities in a western country

There are more oppurtunities in western countries because they are economically superior since they have been exploiting 3rd world countries for centuries.

They have colonised most of the rest of the world, leaving them in a fucked up position and....

now they are continuing this conquest by going to the Middle East which is together with East Asia the only land they haven't touched yet. I don't think Pol Pot and all those dictators managed to cause this much damage. Almost annihilating two peoples, using atomic bombs on two densily populated cities in which now the day children are still born misformed due to the radio-activity. It were Europeans that started the World Wars and the Cold War. Vietnam, Iraq, Afhanistan etc.

Pol Pot has in fact done more damage.

Pol Pot killed millions in only 2 yrs. The Cold war was started by the Soviets moron,same with Vietnam war started by the North who decided to invade the south.

Oooh yes that's right. That's why Australia is the only Western nation that has been targeted by Amnesty International. And that's why thousands of aboriginals are still dying from preventable diseases. And that's why your government took aboriginals from their parents so that their kind will become diluted.
And I'm not saying this countries are so good, it's just this hypocrisy of Western nations that makes me so angry! And I'm far too busy exploiting the Netherlads to leave.

Funny you mention the NT intervention since it has been proven that they don't even reach 10% of the medical checks necessary to service Aboriginal children.

You should truly watch some documentaires from John Pilger. They are very easy to watch and very educational since it's not the ordinary bullshit that you see on tv or what you learn in history.

Since you're from Australia I recommend 'Welcome to Australia' and if you see any clear cut flaws then please mention them.

So I'm like Hitler, and I have my own coons. Very intelligent.

Another thing about Iran,the jerkoff wants nothing more but to wipe Israel off the map. The amount of deaths happening in Iran since 1980 was a lot higher than the previous govt. Women not allowed to work,if caught working,executed straight away. Drinking alcohol,adultery=immediate executions. Iran is virtually just like Afghanistan when the Taliban ruled

John Pilger is a brilliant and eloquent producer of fine documentaries. The comments of the detractors I've seen here are nothing but the ravings of the brainwashed blind. Their failure to dominate even their own native language attests to the worthlessness of their opinions
slking299 4 years ago
I am far more intelligent than you are and you know it. John Pilger is a stupid leftist scumbag who reaps on all the benefits in a capitalist society and yet bitches about how wrong they are. Get the fuck out! Once again you are owned

Hardly, your shallow mind is probably delusional enough to think yourself intelligent by parroting antiquated theories like those of Adam Smith, the assumptions upon which they are based, no longer apply.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
John Pilger is just a stupid filthy leftist who doesn't what he is talking about. Fact,he criticises America's intervention into Chile and installing Pinochet but he gives praises to scumbag tyrants like Hugo Chavez. Yes jerkoffs,Chavez wants to give himself more & more power so he can become the dictator for life. He also gives praise to ruthless dictators like Castro. Pathetic John,just go & kill yourself with a gun
yourgasm 4 years ago
Respectfully I disagree with you comments yourgasm. Regarding Mr. Pilger, I've just seen his 2003 documentary concerning the so called "War on Terror" where he actually discloses the respective sources of his allegations against the American administration.
Also, pertaining to Mr. Chavez, yes; he may indeed want to re-write Venezuela's constitution for his own personal gains but at least he puts his aims to a democratic vote.
marginline 4 years ago
Aims to the democratic vote? What rigging elections? Manipulating the media? Closing down channels that oppose. Yeah democracy flows there. And to make matters worse this pathetic scumbag John especially on his latest doco goes to some socialist dictatorship countries & won't say a thing about their human rights abuses. Not once have I heard him say a thing about Cuba or Hugo Chavez.
yourgasm 4 years ago
Yes, I have heard and read everything you've written about the Chavez regime - ironically from a few of our 'non-manipulated' media sources. You make some good points yourgasm but surely if he had rigged the last referendum, why did he lose?
marginline 4 years ago
Maybe Chavez acted way too hastly on things. I think he asked for the referendum change at such a quick & sudden time. As for the elections being rigged,maybe rig is not the right word but lets take a look at the way the media was controlled in his state. The results were not to the margin as shown.
yourgasm 4 years ago
Another thing can you imagine the amount of flack America would cop if they had a leader just like Hugo Chavez? But hey cos its some latin American country,its considered ok in the eyes of the politically correct crowd. But if Clinton,or Obama acted like this,my God everyone would demand a public hanging straight away.
yourgasm 4 years ago
i dont know exactly what you have been taking but its obvious to myself and probably alot of other people that you dont have the first clue of what your talking about, here is a fact chavez has won eight democratic elections, installed free medical centres, educated the poor and included all classes of citizens in his socialist politics
owenadamson3000 4 years ago
whilst pinochet who was never democraticly elected but merely handed power by the american military then he sent death squads into the streets to kill people who thought twice about protesting aabout this unwanted government and i am not talking about just men but women and small children were slaughtered in the streets and who ever survived were rounded up and kept hostage in sports stadiums,so go and read some real history and educate your ignorent self.
owenadamson3000 4 years ago
Pinochet was evil yes. But if you're saying Chavez educated the poor here's what I gotta say about Pinochet. Pinochet boomed the economy of Chile,drove inflation down,interest rates down,unemployment down and b/c if his reforms Chile is enjoying the prosperity thx to the previous reforms. And Chile's economic growth is still 1 of the highest in latin America.
yourgasm 4 years ago
yes you cant dispute the economics of pinochet's regime but to compare chavez's government to that of pinochet on any level i thought was wrong, chavez is a humanitarian in many ways yes sometimes he is brash and probably does alot of things that he should'nt but is'nt it refreshing to see a leading politician trying to stand up for what he believes in rather than cowing to the imperial empire of the western democracies.
owenadamson3000 4 years ago
He can disagree but opening up his big mouth towards Spain. Thats right those lovely & hastly words he used constantly calling the former president of Spain a fascists constantly & doing it constantly. I mean get over it he was voted out and when the king told him to shut up,he goes into a hissy fit.
yourgasm 4 years ago
HAHAHAHAHAHA. You are by far the most brainwashed blindsighted individual I have ever come across. You stupid jerkoff, Chavez has eliminated many sectors of the govt giving him more & more power. He is turning his country into a dictatorship. Oh yes another thing,threatening to break off ties with Spain just cos someone told him to shut up.
yourgasm 4 years ago
i am afraid it isnt myself who is blindsighted or brainwashed i have actually have been to venezuela and found much support amd opptimism about the country's future from people i spoke to and i have freinds and family members who live there and they say that they have a better life now chavez is in power and they feel proud to have a man leading their country who is'nt afraid to speak up when others would'nt
owenadamson3000 4 years ago
Yeah so have I and I have spoken to ppl who have stated that Chavez is nothing but a dictator. The point being if you're using family as a source of info I'll do the same. let's not forget that Chavez is doing to shut every single 1 of them up. Now if Bush or Blair did this he would be flammed to death by the left media.
yourgasm 4 years ago
what the hell is the left media i dont see any media coverage which you could call left wing anywhere in the mainstream media coverage of many subjects from global warming propoganda to the war on terror and the constant onslaught of ridiculous celebrity personas and unflinching support of consumerism is all heavily dictated by the governments of democratic countries such as the uk and us and australia.
owenadamson3000 4 years ago
Left media the pathetic Hollywood crowd who constantly go about how right the democrats are and how wrong the republicans are. As long as it has the words Democrats in it its considered ok. Let's not forget the pathetic global warming shit now even more popular made by that coon Al Gore. Anyways I'm still waiting on your point about Dictator Chavez
yourgasm 4 years ago
as i have stated chavez for me is a refreshing change in latin american politics i think that alot of the negative media coverage of him is mainly propoganda perpetuated by the american security forces and congress the bottom line with chavez is he knew that to better the poor people of venezuela he would have to be tough with the american government over the oil supply to america and demand a fair price instead of being ripped off like the past venezuelan governments.
owenadamson3000 4 years ago
i know people say there is alot of censorship going on in venezuela but in the three months i was there last year i did'nt see any i mean you had tv shows at 10 in the morning stating that the man was a nazi and the son of satan all sorts of crazy stuff like that now maybe i don't understand censorship but to me that isn't being censored in any way!
owenadamson3000 4 years ago
As I stated Pilger is a coon and so is Chavez. As I STATED Chavez is a big mouth scumbag. Censorship? You mean trying to nationalise things and giving himself more power so that he can shut out opposition. Helping the poor ppl & at the same time damaging the other ppl.
yourgasm 4 years ago
What do mean "coon"? Do you understand the origin of this word? Seems to me that your the "big mouth scumbag". Don't you know that business is booming in Venezuela? On the subject of "nationalizing", don't you know that Chile's nationalized copper firms are a major source of it's export revenues? What nonsense about Chavez "helping poor ppl" & "damaging the other ppl"? What people? Where are the mass graves? Who are the disappeared? If Chavez is a dictator what was Pinochet?
stuffupthecracks 4 years ago
Another thing Ruper Murdoch has had leanings towards both wings. He gave praise to centre left PM Kevin Rudd so if you're trying to imply that he is a conservative,you're wrong there. Left media by Michael asswipe Moore. Moron. Another thing I didn't praise Pinochet dumbfuck. Damn you truly are a retard aren't ya? I never said shit about him being great
yourgasm 4 years ago
i really dont understand your thinking or how you have formed your oppinions on an issue that it seems you dont understand fully. chavez has said he will step down after his next presidential term because he put the vote for the change of the constitution to the people and he was defeated that does not sound like he is trying to give himself more power but merely trying to run a democratic state which is inclusive of its poorest citizens.
owenadamson3000 4 years ago
I highly doubt Chavez would step down. We'll wait & see afterall he acted too hastly on the referendum to give himself the honor of being president for life. Now hes probably doing the whole 'i'm stepping down' thing then will eventually draw some sympathisers. We'll see what Chavez is up to in the next term
yourgasm 4 years ago
true i suppose, you never know what is going to happen but i would like to make this point to you if chavez is a dictator and that is a big if then the argument can be made that people who live in a dictatorship are in many ways more fortunate than those of us who live in so called democratic countries, citizens (mostly the poor) of major democratic countries are ignored time and time again on major issues.
owenadamson3000 4 years ago
i live in britain at the moment so i will give some examples britain has joined the eu even though the vast majority of people on the street did'nt want it to happen and we never even got the referrendum that was promised by the government on the issue that is not very democratic, is it?
owenadamson3000 4 years ago
another example would be the city where i live is currently having a rennaissance and are wanting to build new buildings for hotels and shops and posh upmarket town houses on some land where the is apporoximately 350 families living in exisiting housing which is in no need of restoration or repair
owenadamson3000 4 years ago
they have been told they will be given half of the commercial value of their properties because the council are buying the land not the buildings as all the buildings are going to be demolished and there is'nt anything that can be done about it cos believe it or not the legal system is on the side of the council, sound democratic again i would say no!
owenadamson3000 4 years ago
As for the council thing. Sure there is going to difficulties but Britain is a much better place to live than lets say Venezuela. If you love Venezuela so much then why don't you go live there yourself?
yourgasm 4 years ago
Another thing about Chavez,how democratic is it when he threatened to cut off oil shipments if the US criticise his voting results. No wait but its ok for him to criticise the US & Bush. If you want to criticise someone then have the balls to face being criticised yourself!

I think you would probably do yourself more credit if your skills in the English language were such to imply you were not posting under the auspices of either an grossly atrophied intelligence or profound aclohol abuse.

who is the real stupid? williamwilson or you who support Blairs lies? i know the answer,,, you?
pampero1234 3 years ago
The answer is yourself b/c I clearly pointed the hypocrisy of the 'wannabe' activist here. And the fact that you are a supporter of him proves how stupid or if not even more retarded than you truly are. Sorry dude, facts are facts and its clear once again you like all other hippies,have nothing left to defend their fraudulent activist here.
yourgasm 3 years ago
really? very smart answer... "facts are facts"... like the Saddams weapons? This is a fact not? oh yes, you couldnt find them...
and you speak about "fraudulent activist"?! jaja, you are lost dude... because your answer "proves how stupid or if not even more retarded than you truly are."
pampero1234 3 years ago
Facts are facts. Fidel Castro is a tyrant yet Johnny boy says nothing about human rights abuses there. Hugo Chavez is literally giving himself more & more power by shutting down opposition parties (well he is doing the best he can) but John turns the blind eye and supports this. There you go I proved you wrong once again. You my friend a fraud just like the idiot who thinks he can make documentaries.
yourgasm 3 years ago
its amaizing how you uppon your finger and say "you are a tyrant"... Batista was a tyrant too... but how he was pro US "everything is fine". Just wacht Psicko and you will see who lives better.
pampero1234 3 years ago
Fact: America became more & more anti Batista and thats a fact! America was getting annoyed at the way Batista was handling his own ppl and eventually wihtdrew their support for him hence allowing Castro to fuck him 1 right over. Sicko?LOL!Idiot nuff said,believing that Michael Moron another fat fuck who knows jackshit. He says UK has a good healthcare system,excuse me waiting lists are still very high jerkoff!

Insult short of answers? Mate your puny little brain basically sums everything with the response you have just given me. Typical PC liberal wimps, once they see that they have nothing else to say they go with the whole "Oh I feel sorry for you,you don't have an answer". It never seizes to amaze me. 1 more thing SADDAM IS STILL DEAD! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!! I shot Che Guevera!
yourgasm 3 years ago
im no comunist you idiot, how i said, you belive this should be black or white, and i see many grays in the middle.
"Saddam is still dead!" just like the inocent mans, womans and childs who your colation murdered to stole the oil...
pampero1234 3 years ago
Innocent women? As oppose to the millions that Saddam had murdered? You're not a commie? LMAO!! Right and Hitler wasn't an extreme fascist. No he wasn't evil. Afterall you admire asswipes like Johnny boy here who happens to admire Castro, Chavez & who knows Iran also if I'm not surprised. Wait a min you probably support Iran & North Korea judging by your stupidity. Still haven't packed your bags yet & off to Cuba?
yourgasm 3 years ago
no im not you idiot, im in the middle.
I never said "Hitler wasn't an extreme fascist", what i said, you are doing the same what germans did at 39.
What i support, is stop to belive you have the gods power to be over the UN. Thats all, when you people understand this, this is going to be a safer planet
pampero1234 3 years ago
Doing the same as to what Germans did? You idiot,its called liberating an empire that is ruled by a tyrant. There is a difference,just like WW2, we came in to stop the Nazis from persecuting the Jews just like coming into Iraq to stop Saddam from persecuting his own ppl.
yourgasm 3 years ago
about Chavez, he was elected 2 times... who were tried to be removed by a coupe by US orders. who is the "real tyrant"? who won an election or who tried to remove him by force?
this is a fact fact... and you should lear South American history first.
"You my friend a fraud (and an ignorant) just like the idiot who thinks he can make (relativize) documentaries."
this man speak the truth... you should listen him, or you are still busy looking for saddams weapons?
pampero1234 3 years ago
It was a damn good idea to remove Chavez b/c afterall we now all see what he is like. Short tempered who threatened Spain only b/c someone told him to shut up. Yes lets try to hold a referendum so he can stay in power for life. Who knows what the fuckhead wants next. I wouldn't be surprised if he even tried something just to stay on for even longer. Another thing dipshit,Chavez is also pro North Korea! Nuff said,YOU do your research and KNOW what you are talking about.

ah, Saddam... what happend? when he was usefull he wasnt soo bad? did you ask who settle in the goverment to stop the irani revolution? wasnt me...
pampero1234 3 years ago
Typical hippie remark. Once again not knowing the reasons why it was safer to use Saddam considering the circumstances at the time. Fact Iran fucked America over hence Saddam was the lesser of the 2 evil. Iran was the bigger threat and damn right they deserved a professional ass kicking & a half.
yourgasm 3 years ago
now im a hippie? jajaja!
"considering the circumstances"... UN said NOT WEAPONS! THERE US NO CIRCUNSTANCES to do an unilateral attack over another country with out the permision of the UN. that was the reason why UN was created, to not have another poland again.
are you blind not?
pampero1234 3 years ago
You are the hippie with no morals whatsoever. You failed to see the amount of ppl Saddam killed vs the amount of ppl that were bombed. There is a much bigger difference b/w the 2.
yourgasm 3 years ago
if your moral means murder inocent people, i keep my peace... i will repeat you, yesteday when saddams wasnt usefull to you he wasnt soo bad? or may be Rambo fighting with Talibans agains soviets? this show's you dont care a shit what he did (done testing YOURS weapons), you only care the natural resourses.
hipocriticals.
pampero1234 3 years ago
A small proportion of ppl die as oppose to the millions Saddam killed. Yeah and just sit there and let many many more die. As for the US fighting the with the Taliban. Let me enligten you dumbfuck. The SU decided to invade Afghanistan only bc of instability in that region. Therefore the US tried very hard to respect the sovereignity of Afghanistan. They did the right thing back then b/c nobody knew that Afghanistan would be a failed state.
yourgasm 3 years ago
"A small proportion of ppl die" if your family is in that small proportion, you will change your mind... people lives are not "proportions". murders
pampero1234 3 years ago
And allow the next million die under the tyrant & allow your families lives to be threatened each day by Saddam & his cronies. Its a called a war,ppl are going die just like WW2 so I guess we should kick back also about WW2. And of course the lovely Vietnam War & allow the Vietcong to execute 3 million innocent civilians.
yourgasm 3 years ago
UN should autorize that invation.
unilateral invations remember to all what Poland was at 39.
pampero1234 3 years ago
Right and for your information let's take a good look at how perfect the UN was. Who refused to sanction the Kosovo war after it was clear that Slobadin Milosevic was committing acts of genocide on millions of ppl. For your information its called saving the future lives of many other Iraqis who will die
yourgasm 3 years ago
And to add more to that taliban, you see once again the taliban weren't proven as evil as what the Soviets did. So the US thinking that if the SU leave,we respect Afghanistan's existence, everything would be fine. Only to find that this country wouldn't turn out like that in the 1990s. Nobody can make those predictions but it was the right thing to do which was to drive the SU out
yourgasm 3 years ago
He never was useful,the new Iran govt was a instigating terrorist activities around the world. Oh yes keep denying everything,the hundreds of soldiers that were held hostage & who knows what was going to happen. It was payback for Iran for messing with us,nothing wrong with that.

pampero1234 3 years ago
Pilger is a wannabe hippie like I said dozens of times with a constructive view I have provided. He is a supporter of castro, nuff said. As for Saddam,its called smart strategic thinking,use Saddam then fuck him over. Serves him right for repressing his own ppl

you dont care people, thats why you allow dictatorial goverments... when them were usefull to your own interest.
and Pilger speak the truth.
pampero1234 3 years ago
I do care about ppl. I care about the amount of ppl that are being killed off by their tyrants moron. Fact Saddam is an admirer of Hitler who killed millions of his own ppl.

..."Saddam was strongly linked with the CIA, and that U.S. intelligence, under President John F. Kennedy, helped Saddam's party seize power for the first time in 1963"...
he never took alone nothing, you settle there his ass. its your fault. idiot
pampero1234 3 years ago
For your information the time in the 60s he was not tyrant. He was trained but was not put in power. There's a diff b/w the 2. He stormed into power meaning the time he stepped into power was the use of his own powers. Its that simple, we are talking the time he became leader of his own country. He used his position to intimidate ppl.
yourgasm 3 years ago
"in the 60s he was not tyrant. He was trained but was not put in power." we all knows that. if he murdered to your interest, he is not a tyrant... if he murdered against your interest or to his own interesnt, you will use that to call him a tyrant.
this proves how hipocriticals you are.
btw, you gave to him the chemicals weapons... so, you trained, you put him in the power, an you support him IN the power... when he was usefull.
you dont care people... hipocriticals
pampero1234 3 years ago
Very good argument. Nobody can predict he will be a asswipe. Just like you,I wouldn't know that in 20 yrs time (even though it took 2 hrs) to figure out you are an asswipe. Why don't we just randomly kill ppl JUST IN CASE any one of those idiots will be a future tyrant. Idiot. Like I said using 1 evil to get rid of the bigger evil which was Iran. No we did not put him in power,he came to power himself by working his way up.
yourgasm 3 years ago
of course not, you just gave his chemicals weapons to smoke it in a party.
asswipe? at least i think by my self, you just can repeat the tape.
pampero1234 3 years ago
Not to smoke it in the party. To get rid of another evil Iran. Only to find he abused it so we don't like it. I THINK more about the truth than some hippie like yourself who watches 20 min video youtube & believes it straight away. Sheep
