I No Longer Have a Dream

[DigitalFortress7220]

I othen have thought that the King image has been commercialized to fit into exactly what the corporate world wants.

Just another day to attract potential customers with sales.

Good analysis and good video.

[NaturallyPisces]

Wow

[axl888]

You cant say 'fuck israel' without saying 'fuck america'. Remember that israel has been blindfolded just as tightly as the people of usa.

THEIR SOURCES OF MEDIA IS JUST AS CONTROLLED AS THAT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Do you think that a horse that has been spoon fed wheats its whole life, would ever consider chewing grass?

[DiamondSutraPress]

Fuck Israel.

[TheOnlyFoe]

I found this video to be moving, stirring, rousing; a beautiful thing which is nonetheless terrible and awesome to behold.

[thefreeassociation]

So fresh and so clean! Do you think I'm so sexy I'm....

[Frnlam]

Great commentary MRT!

[Leiflton]

Yeah, judgment is coming to America. We're too arrogant, ignorant, and apathetic.

"Time for you mother****** to wake up."

Great MLK quotes.

I like:

"The greatest sin of our time is NOT the few who have destroyed, but the VAST MAJORITY who have sat idly by."

And one that goes something like:

"Love is the only force strong enough to turn an enemy into a friend."

Keep fightin the good fight. God Bless.

[Leiflton]

haha, "Television is the opiate of the masses."

Yeah, MLK, Ghandi, etc are heroes, because they follow Jesus's example.

We are being forced into FEMA camps.

Israel is a wicked nation. Antichrist will rule from from the temple after it is rebuilt in Jerusalem(2 Thessalonians 2).

Yeah, New Orleans was ethnically cleansed. Now they are going to build wicked neo-Babylonian constructs for the rich and perverse, so they can have their ungodly revellings.

Thanks man.I think you have a real presence.

[unijade]

Try outdoing him with your intelligence and refutations right now if u think u know better..

[1AnonymousPatriot]

And what movies do you have to counter his supposed retardation? What?! No movies? Move along and go find someone who cares what you think.

[soulssurvivor]

Good stuff... really loved that first Dr. King clip. It's sad that even Afroamerican children are taught that Dr. King was assassinated simply because he "had a dream". Hmmm, considering how Black History Month is basically reduced to watered down, repetitive, trivial facts that approach cliche, it makes you wonder who's really in charge of it.

[imercury]

AWESOME keep em coming

[chromelemon]

Absolutly brilliant!

[tubette1]

Great video! yeah our empire is going down....

other than being an activist, i don't know what else one can do about it....i know lots of folks

who spend all their time reading blogs and making comments... but we really need to get the word out to the "Others"....

[SorenStevens]

Ryce, this is brilliant work, and the montage of MLK, Jr. quotes was a beautiful reminder of the truly Revolutionary message that King heralded, even as we do the same today.

Where did you get those audio bits of MLK, Jr.'s speeches?

[TreeOfWar]

I agree that the native American's had genocide enacted upon them, its true and every smart American will admit to that.

Now that we are so enlightened, should we give all of North and South America back to the native Americans? There are two or three generations of Israeli's who have lived in Israel their entire lives, its their home now. Its where they were born, raised, loved, and die.

People would take Palestine seriously if the missile and suicide attacks stopped. Google: Sderot

[ManilaRyceTLM]

@TreeOfWar

And what do you have against a single-state solution? Had you actually watched the video or read my profile, you'd know this is the solution I propose.

And just to clarify, Qassam rocket attacks are reactionary strikes which follow Israeli military action, they don't proceed it.

[liberalmediamyas5]

That, in addition to the vastly disproportionate death toll and suffering inflicted upon the Palestinian people.

People need to wake up and exercise their brain!

Also, on another note, this is an excellent video. It's pleasing to meet others who share the opinion about the white washed MLK....it's sickening seeing the corporatist hawks claim MLK as one of their own...truly there is no shame in these people.

[unijade]

I don't understand why most Israelis/supporters ignore the fact that it was the military and political actions by their government that triggered bombings and suicide attacks from Palestine in the first place; rather then taking Palestine as the culprit that causes havoc in "their country"

[Dutchoven08]

I just found out that I am dis-allowed to use the common explative used in this video, beginning with the letter F, in this comments section.

Where's the " reedom o' speech" without Effing swear words darn it?

[ManilaRyceTLM]

really? that's fucking fucked up

[Dutchoven08]

Effing Beautiful!

[velcroFathoms]

[mopsius]

Swanson has a report that Conyers is beginning to move on impeachment and Wexler is asking for emails to Conyers on the issue:

Email john(dot)conyers(at)mail(dot)h­ouse(dot)gov

[GASgr8AmericanStrike]

rise up people, but be smart about it, like this guy, and peaceful!

[wasy35]

well said...i am spoon fed...

[maxx1000]

.

Great video!

Too bad reason no longer is taught in school. Otherwise, Americans would be gathering in the streets.

.

[UtubiaPrimeMinister]

wrong my friend. reason is what teaches any person on earth with a conscience; and the people are beginning to gather throughout the lands, as they must.

power to the people who care about the future.

[Isaac707]

Love your video, and your commentary. Keep it up.

[sizmike]

Man You Said it. WORD-THE-FUCK-UP-AMERICA !

[CampHazzard]

Please don't call me a fucker.

[queny2]

Yes, CampHazzard there is no reason for America to implode in an inappropriately impolite manner. Her decline and fall, as well as the inevitably contingent global catastrophe, should be as polite and uplifting as a baptist christening.

[CampHazzard]

I just don't want to be called that. I gave $750 to Dennis. I did my best. It's depressing enough without being addressed harshly for another wake-up call... I woke. I'm tired. I'm going back to sleep... fuckers.

[queny2]

No, that's fair enough, seems you have done a lot CampHazzard, and the results surely aren't evident. I empathize. You are probably far less of a ****ker than most of us, and don't deserve the epithet personally, especially if it grates with you. I wish we could just say SNAFU. But the "situation" is no longer anything like "normal". That's my ****king view.

[Vektor417]

*****

[peacelf]

I was wondering if you were going to play that "...greatest purveyor of violence..." quote. Interestingly, he gave that speech one year to the day before his assassination.  Have you read Michael Eric Dyson's bio of King. The best.

peacelf

[ManilaRyceTLM]

@peacelf

I put that quote in just for you brother. I'm a fan of Dyson. Haven't read that bio, but I'll be sure to now. Thanks.

[davisfleetwood]

great video john. beautifully written.

[ManilaRyceTLM]

@davisfleetwood

Thank you kind sir. I thought your latest was particularly well-crafted too. Posted it on the ol' blog.

[SOMUCHFORFREEMEDIA]

Brilliant!

[ManilaRyceTLM]

@SOMUCHFORFREEMEDIA

Thanks. I try.

[notscooter952]

oooh. nice marx reference (opiate of the masses thing)

[ManilaRyceTLM]

@notscooter952

Good on ya for noticing.

[Mackerelman]

Ethnic cleansing? What ethnic cleansing? There was originally supposed to be Palestine and Israel, but Palestine attacked Israel.

[Mackerelman]

Kucinich was done in by his UFO theories.

[peapodfontaine]

I'd rather have a President who saw something in the sky that he could not explain than a President who wrongly believed there were WMDs and used that fallacious belief to destroy two countries, Iraq and the United States.

Also, how come no one has a problem with the fact that Barry Goldwater said he saw actual alien bodies!

[queny2]

How did his UFO "theories" differ from Reagans? Only in that; unlike Reagan, Kucinich offered NO theory. He just honestly admitted he saw something flying in the sky that was unidentified. If Shirley had be with Ronnie, after EITHER of his UFO sightings, I wonder what she would have remembered him saying 20 years on? Preschool slander aimed at unthinking voters.

[floridaredhead]

RE: Mackerelman

Palestine attacked Israel?

Not according to the Old Testament.

Of course, this all depends on how far back one wants to go...

[guidotnb]

Excellent. I'll pass this along.

[ManilaRyceTLM]

@guidotnb

Spread it like herpes.

[demurish]

Great video! We need to somehow get messages like these out into the general public. Maybe integritynow. org can organize something like non-profit informational kiosks in malls or something.

[ManilaRyceTLM]

@demurish

Ha, I'm not so sure a message like this would play well in a place like the mall, but the idea in general is a good one. Maybe a television channel featuring only viewer submitted commentary?

[erkd1]

Best commentator on YouTube!

[erkd1]

"They were well-built, with good bodies and handsome features...They do not bear arms, and do not know them, for I showed them a sword, they took it by the edge and cut themselves out of ignorance. They have no iron. Their spears are made of cane...They would make fine servants...With fifty men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want."

~Columbus' log regarding the native Arawaks of the Bahama Islands

[ManilaRyceTLM]

@erkd1

Thanks for adding that. I swear I could do dozens of videos on Columbus alone.

[floridaredhead]

RE: rekd1's comment about Columbus' log about the natives..."they would make fine servants"

Hahahahaha! From what I've come to understand, it didn't work out that way. If a native did not like the way they were treated, they'd just sit down and go on strike. A "master" could beat them or starve them or do anything they wanted - they would not move. They'd rather die there.

So I was told, anyway.

[sisterkris2003]

Singin' your praises, brother!

Another great video-thank you!

[ManilaRyceTLM]

@sisterkris2003

You're welcome, and thank you for singin' em.

[babyporridge]

you have amazing speech making prowess.

no, for serious.

[ManilaRyceTLM]

@babyporridge

Nikki, again with the flattery. When we combine your beauty and musical talent with my fugliness and speaking prowess, our future video collaboration will promise to be something truly mediocre. I can't wait.

[Jamethiel1]

Thank you so much for this video. Hearing those quotes by MLK Jr, which I had of course never heard before, is very moving. Wow. I'm definitely going to share this with others.

[ManilaRyceTLM]

@Jamethiel1

Thanks for sharing and saving it to your favorites. As well known as he is, most people have never heard much from MLK. I'm glad I could introduce you to something new.

[Lucidtomr]

Right on Manila Ryce. +5 fav

I don't watch MSNBC, not since November. If I want lies and propaganda, I'll turn on the TV main stream media news.

Keith BTW is a Zionist, most people don't know that.

[ManilaRyceTLM]

@Lucidtomr

Thanks for the rating. Do you mean that Olbermann's a Zionist ideologically, or that he has actual ties to Zionist organizations? I'm unaware if he actually describes himself as a Zionist, but would be interested in learning more if you've got it.

[Lucidtomr]

ideologically I don't know, but he has ties to Zionist organizations. Perhaps that is why he is supporting Hillary. I know that because he said he was Jewish. Sorry I don't have the clip, that was like last year.

[DandelionSalad]

On a roll, Manila, great work as always. Keep on speaking out!

[ManilaRyceTLM]

@DandelionSalad

As long as the internet is free, I intend to. I can't imagine ever shutting up.

[dubaiedge]

awesome as always

[ManilaRyceTLM]

thanks.
