  • The greed, incompetence, stupidity and short-sightedness of the current political leadership and top strata of society will inevitably lead us down the dark path of the early 20th century, as the current, loosely-organized social unrest, political instability, economic turmoil, ethnic conflicts and class struggle continue to spread and eventually mushroom into greater activities under the sway of demagogues, and eventually lead to revolutions, war, oppression, despotism and genocide.

  • I'm so glad he is running under the Republican ticket because everytime he brings up the constitution in debates he shows the Republican party how far their beliefs have strayed from our founding fathers and the constitution. Nobody else pushes the issue of the commander in chief going to war without the approval of congress, because if they get elected, they want that power.

  • the Chinese are broke and when their housing bubble breaks you will see their debt is as high as their GDP, so Larry here is wrong and what you see around the world is the stage being set for WW3 and the fight for Eurasia will begin in earnst

  • the Rockefellers are pure evil and for this man, who I admire, to mention that piece of shit Nelson blows me away

  • lol what? Americas are in favor of freedom in other countries?

    Why do you keep overthrowing democratically elected leaders then?

  • Jesus Christ. To hear this man say that congress fears occupy wall street is frightening because that is what I suspected all along. There is no reason they need to put the United States under military rule other than to maintain and increase current forms of oppression. I bet there are people in an office somewhere thinking about how they only have until the spring time to come up with a way to scare the public into submission. I hope they don't win.

  • wilkerson talking about the big banks and oligarchy who really run this country. finally, the truth is told by someone who would know and can't be dismissed as a conspiracy theorist.

  • It's strange seeing a Republican you can actually respect. Wilkerson reminds us that there was once a time where conservatives were also people who worked for the good but just had a different way of going about things; these days it seems that conservatives are either psychopaths or brainwashed zombies (mostly depending on how much money they have). If we could once again have conservatives like Wilkerson then maybe the democratic system in America could actually be worth something.

  • those southern democrats are really conservative dixiecrats

  • ROn didn't even vote on the NDAA. Ron Paul sucks.

  • @captcrais101 yeah all the other warmongers are much better.

  • @zephyrsimon I want to vote for someone that respects peace and sees why we need a strong middle class not a peaceful Scrooge. That is what Ron Paul represents. Trying to have peace with greedy scum. You can't have peace without out Justice. Peace is not apathy.

  • @zephyrsimon Ron Paul is a apathymonger. Not a Peacemonger. That is why I am voting third arty for president. ALL the candidaites from the two party illusion (including Ron Paul) suck. They all have polices that would support the rich. I am voting for a Sen Sanders like person for president.

  • @captcrais101 yup, we should vote for a president that allows infinite inflationary monetary policies that would destroy the dollar that the middle class depends on. We should vote for a president that forbids people to become rich because we all know that all rich people obtained their wealth through deceit and other illegal means. We should pay more than 30% of our income tax so that the government has enough money to do health care because they are very capable of helping others

  • @zephyrsimon deregulation and taxcuts are not the policies we need.

  • @captcrais101 I completely agree with you. We should raise the taxes on rich, middle, and poor class so that the government can increase their revenue. Who else other than the brilliant government can spend money more smartly and efficiently? You? We cannot let the people who worked at their pathetic minimum wage job and spend their own money by themselves. They are too stupid. Only governments can do proper investments that help the economy.

  • This is a good interview. Thanks for posting it.

  • He said OLIGARCHY. This is not coming from some true blue progressive; this is coming from the former chief of staff for Colin Powell. Now if it takes a life-long Republican to say this, you now we're up itch creek.

  • Paul please do longer interviews with Mr. Wilkerson, it is interesting to hear his perspective on whats going on.

    As always love the work you guys do.

    Thanks

  • The Republican Candidates are SOOOOOOOO fucking terrible (with exception to 1) that it is almost as if there is a CONSPIRACY to funnel votes towards the Democrats thus limiting the vote to one of two corporate shills. The US is not a democratic country. The US is NOT a free country. The US is an aristocratic corporate fuedal affair based on wage slavery and hell bent on gluttonous ruin of the eco-system. If you are for it... you are a suicidal maniac. "Reject the system dictating the norms."

  • Ron Paul be damned; where are the viable left-wing third party candidates at? I know they're out there somewhere.

  • AIPAC: the Israel lobby

  • thx, good interview! and yes i give a bit of cash to real news every now and then.

  • NDAA is going to be great business for the prison industry.

  • Ron Paul is a dinosaur, a racist homophobe stuck in 1970. He's Lester Maddox in a lab coat.

    Amazingly, he's the most morally viable candidate among the whole slate of characters running for the Presidency. Everybody else in the GOP is a cog, a puppet of the point one percenters - just like any Democrat would be, Obama, Clinton or otherwise.

    2012 is a write-off. Anybody that gets elected is a tool. 2016, of course, may prove to be a much more historically important election.

  • .... this guy hankers for the day of Nelson Rockefeller... uh huh.

  • Ron Paul revolution 2012 !

  • Great interview. It's good to hear Wilkerson being interviewed on wider issues nowadays, but I wish Paul would stop alluding to the possible emergence of a far right-wing political party, and realize that, since 9/11, The Patriot Act, TSA etc., it's already happened in slow motion, within the established parties. Wilkerson is fully up to speed on this, but Paul seems unable to see the wood for the trees.

  • I would vote for Twain ;)...

  • Always a pleasure to listen to Lawrence Wilkerson.

  • Like, Wilkerson's assessment of immigration laws in the next decades. United States real estate is and will be selling on the cheap for the next 10 years. Senario: Crash the economy, sell prime realestate at discount.Clean water and transportation of the Great Lakes is already coveted by the world. The wealthy bankers already know, they must continue to strip local and state rights to serve up the rest of the United States to the Global rich. Please be active in your local and state meetings.

  • No offense TRNN but your ear-shattering intro tune is the kind of thing i have nightmares about. I love to watch your vids, but have to make sure they are muted when i load them up.

  • I appreciated what Wilkerson had to say regarding elite/banking/finance groups, quite content to let Obama stay in office. This has been my biggest disappointment in our president, he really did not make the changes he needed to make (Elizabeth Warren for example). How clever the pimps in Washington are.

  • The "far" right would not have government in damn near anything, including our military in police operations. I consider Libertarians to be far right. Call it the fascist right or something else.

  • @kroovyandcal Fascism IS far right. Maybe you should read a dictionary.

  • @BoredomCorner You're ARE rather bored, now aren't you. Melding of corporations and government. With a small government, corporations don't have much to meld with

  • @kroovyandcal exactly... the only way to beat the corporations is to emphasise individual freedoms... not group identities or other forms of collectivism.

    I sense that Wilkerson is a good man but I can see why they ran rings round Colin Powell if this guy was his main advisor... he has very little mental fire power.

  • @BoredomCorner No its not.... its a form of collectivism.

    Think national SOCIALISM.

  • @jjcale1111

    You're arguing semantics? lol

    Must be a nightmare for you in Canada or Australia, where the Liberals are right-leaning conservatives.

  • Lawrence Wilkerson. I like this guy. Staunchly independent military man that speaks his mind. If you want to see more of him I suggest watching the documentary AIPAC: The Israel Lobby, of which he is a major contributor.

  • So, more and more Confusion. Yup.

    Three Billion immigrants coming across our borders for clean water, arable land and housing?

    Quick, poison the water, salt the soil, build bows and arrows.

  • Excellent interview! The U.S.A. is screwed beyond any hope. And I think the whole world is screwed too.

  • Become a monster?? The USA is already a terrible inbred monster!!

  • Excellent interview.

    Wilkerson is a favorite guest.

    More like this please.

  • Good interview as always. We need to return the nation to the people but not the Paul way, the economic cost is too great for the poor for us to sacrifice them. We need to offer an alternative to Obama that the left will embrace, a progressive alternative. Only by telling the neo-libs and neo-cons that we will not play their game can we win. That means turning OWS into a voting machine and replacing the establishment with a new order. We have an opportunity through Americans Elect to do this.

  • Excellent!!!!!

  • I Keep trying to give this channel a chance! no equal weight here, just more shit.

  • @MrGrandwazzoo45 what's wrong you can't handle the truth white devil

  • so many ron paul bots arriving

  • I've seen most of TRNN's interviews with Lawrence Wilkerson and I respect his honest, no bull shit responses. Something you will never see on "main stream" media.

  • Yup, I've been saying it for years. US elites are protecting themselves against the rest of us. After all, they have far more in common w/their fellow shysters & business criminals internationally than they do w/other US citizens. Hell, most of these people are dual-citizen Israelis, & they make no bones about the fact that their only real allegiance is to terrorist, apartheid Israel.

  • Ron Paul is the "same cake" with "different frosting"

  • All republican candidates except for Ron Paul should move to Israel to run for prime minister of Israel, not US.

  • paul would only be ending a war he helped install when voting for the invasion of afghan. as for "closing all foreign bases", this would only create a power vacuum and other super powers would move in for control/dominance. in the most general sense, paul is an isolationist, even when it comes to state to state in the US. i'm more of a ralph nader kind of guy-- thinking we should be the "humanitarian" (not bully) of the the world. and his domestic policy (taxes in particular) are not progressive

  • @donnyforte2 Why does Ralph Nader agree with Paul then?

  • @Waystheskyburns just b/c he agrees with paul in certain areas means he's best friends forever and will protect him in every avenue in the future? no.

  • @donnyforte2 Did I say that? Love how you have to back your argument by putting words in my mouth. "best friends...protect him forever". You do know that Paul and Nader see eye to eye on foreign policy, but disagree only on domestic policy because Ralph Nader is a "progressive" in terms of domestic policy.

  • Right on, Larry. NDAA = Fascism has arrived.

  • @MrTGolden Not quite, for fascism arrived in the USA quite long ago.

  • @MrTGolden More fascism is coming. SOPA will give government the ower to regulate video content on the internet.

  • @gsuitter

    Same here... I'll vote crazy and agreeable 50% of the time over bought out completely like Obama and the republican party any day now.

    And also what the guest here said about the American military being brought onto our own land, basically because of OWS and their own fears of a revolution movement. is now clear as day, they're preparing for an American revolt.

    They're scared.

  • @gsuitter He wont get mine. His ideas are insane and he is also a little racist. Other then war and drugs I don't know why anyone supports him.

  • @gsuitter A segregationist who thinks evolution is a myth, gets your vote?

  • @BoredomCorner Yes. I don't believe Paul is a segregationist and could care less if he believes in evolution, creationism or neither. I'll take a creationist who believes in civil liberties, personal freedoms, and the Christian Just War theory over an evolutionist who thinks government has all the answers to run your life and feels justified to spread democracy around the world at the point of a gun.

  • Here you go, Larry: British Tories. The so-called "Republican" party of Abraham Lincoln is unmistakably in bed with the British Foreign Office.

  • anyone supporting wars overseas for oil or natural resources should be shot.

  • RON PAUL IS NOT AN ISOLATIONIST...this is why I hate real news...no better than msm...hope they go tits up

  • @mike6459 Hmmm... Ending all wars, ending most funding to foreign countries... Maybe you need to learn what the word isolationist means.

  • @AduhAwas

    Do you know how many countries fight wars outside their own territories right now? The number is really, really low. Today, some countries that are doing really well do not even have a military that is worth mentioning. They protect themselves by having strong diplomatic bilateral as well as multilateral relationships, the opposite of isolationism. You are confusing isolationism with imperialism. REAL isolationalist countries invest almost everything into the military.

  • @AduhAwas google United States non-interventionism.

  • @AduhAwas Maybe you need to learn what the word means. Ron Paul wants to trade with all nations. And he compains about the LACK OF treaties (Article II, Second 2, Clause 2) between USA and other nations. Explain to me how this makes him an "isolationist".

  • @mike6459

    You cannot judge a news show on one issue. Overall TheRealNews is doing a very good job, much better than any mainstream outlet. When one of my favorite news sources disagrees with me, my own research efforts just explode, and usually i learn a lot.

  • Paul! You need to have Lawrence Wilkerson back on the show as soon as possible!

  • Ron Paul is white supremacist scum. If you want an anti-imperialist candidate who actually cares about the working class take a look at Ralph Nader.

  • @Xenu

    Ralph Nader isnt running and/or has no chance. He is nonexistent in the prediction markets.

  • @Xenu The same Ralph Nader that is good friends with Ron Paul? Dumbass.

  • It's a shame that because Ron Paul is an ideologue he looks so good when contrasted against the sell-outs. An Austrian economics fan who hates homosexuals and is fine using bureaucracy to keep out Mexicans...plus he would do NOTHING about all the banking issues covered by the Real News, as he is diametrically opposed to things like Glass-Steagall!

  • @Zakdayak ... bullshit..

  • @navtel yeah thanks for your thoughtful analysis.

  • Ron Paul - a REAL conservative ! (not a NEOCON)

  • @asphyxiafeeling Ron Paul just signed the personhood pledge, which makes a fertilized human embryo "a person". Ron Paul is a fucking nutjob and just LOST MY VOTE

  • @monkeypeopleofearth... there is only one nutjob and that appears to be you..

  • @navtel go suck cock

  • @monkeypeopleofearth He also signed Grover Norquist's "Don't Tax the Obscenely Wealthy" pledge. In other words, just like most of the other Republifundietards, he's Grover's bitch.

  • @Homer177 if only the REPUBLICANS could find a authentic conservative. All they have is a bunch of religious nutjobs... I mean seriously. Michele Bachmann? Rick Santorum? Rick Perry? I understand why people are embarrassed of the GOP
