"Spreading fear in the name of righteousness." Great speech, I wish the same speech could be heard in our political parties. I wish someone would have the courage to speak the truth instead of capitalizing on "fear." Our freedom and our way of lives as today is under attacked, not from the so-called terrorist but from our well-camouflaged good deed organization. Hats off to star trek.
@TheLastOfTheFinest80 "Admiral Satie = MICHELLE BACHMANN" As well as several other republicans, and more than a few democrats. There is a fine line between Vigilance and paranoia, as well as safeguarding and fear mongering. It is important that we all learn the subtleties of each and remain vigilant but objective.
You think that a war on terrorism is the only situation this applies to? How about someone who is so willing to "help" his supporters that he's willing to strip as many freedoms as possible?
As the United States continues its war on terrorism, I stop and ask myself if I like where my country is headed. I say no. Like Admiral Satie, we are continually placing the fate of the country ahead of personal freedoms. And when we give up those freedoms, we lose everything we as a country stand for.
I have watched this clip many times. I can relate it to moments in mine and other peoples lives - 'Hidden fear clothed in rightousness'. Yet I still have difficultly seeing what really ended pickards trial. I can see Saties' emotional state riled by Picards comments about her fathers legacy being used in his defence (or should I say - to bring a rise out of her), but how did it cause the end of the trials? Is it because her emotional state was questioned or hidden motives or something else?
Really reminds me of people demanding that we deport the children of illegal immigrants who were younger than 18 when brought here. Because their parents are illegal when revealed, like Simon Tarsis's grandfather was a Romulan, their careers lie in shambles.
I am not an illegal immigrant, nor the daughter of one. But having grown up on Star Trek, I always think of this episode when I discuss the topic, as I think of "Past Tense" when I discuss joblessness.
@TheEarthforge Look at Tasha Yar she was no different she left her damaged home for a better way of life! As an Englishman and a man too brought up on Star Trek I do not blame a people for wanting to leave their homes to come to the UK to do just that the problem is our governments backward ideas of multiculturalism they think we should change our very way of life to accept them when they just want to be a part of it they make things worse between people! Mind Bogling it really is
@netsurferx1 Blair on Iraq Cameron on Iran when are they going to concentrate sorting out the UK instead of giving us away to the mainland and interefering in other states affairs? Don't vote for the big three!!!
I always funny when the guys says "perhaps we should call a recess, until tomorrow.." He says it like there will actually be a tomorrow. Makes me laugh at how blind her followers were.
Really the best part about this video is noticing in the middle of this dramatic, futuristic trial that he's just sitting in a regular ass office chair.
The Dominion did not attack the Federation because they hate freedom! They attacked because the Federation violated the Dominion sphere of influence when they crossed the wormhole.
Thats what I love about star trek when you know your right but the bureaucrat or whoever wont listen to logic make the person emotionally compromised bam you win.
This is why I love star trek, becuase at its core, it isn't about aliens or cool technology (though that is neat), it's about humanity and inward reflection. It's about relationships amongst people as much as its about anything else. it's a shame some people can't see that. I think Rick Berman did a great job when gene roddenbury died.
Lost me at the "rights being granted" thing. Rights are NOT granted, privileges are. No one grants you your rights. No person or people. No government. Not even the Constitution grants you your rights. The Constitution recognizes and guarantees them, but does not give them to you. Your rights are yours. They belong to you. You own them. They can be denied or infringed upon, or even suspended for a time after being found guilty of a crime, but they can never, EVER be given to or taken from you.
Scarborough Mirror Election Notebook Vote Oct 22 1993:
"ABOLITIONISTS FAVOR MONETARY POLICE SIMILAR TO THAT OF THE U.S.S. ENTERPRISE," SAYS RELEASE
On Oct. 19, the following media release was issued by the Abolitionist Party of Canada: "Abolitionist Party leader John Turmel announced today that if elected, he would install a linear monetary system like that used aboard the starship U.S.S. Enterprise.
"Spock would be proud of this optimal approach to monetary reform. In engineering terms, 1/s (One over s) is the only way to go. It's the only equation for monetary balance and stability," said Mr. Turmel, wearing his iron ring and white engineer's hat. "Remember what Einstein said, "politics is for the present, equation is for eternity."
Is it just posible that the Abolitionists watch too much television?
Jct: No, perfect engineering is possible. Youtube Argentine Solution
The problem with Picard's statement is that "the Federation grants right." I'm sorry Picard, I was born with my rights; they were not "granted" to me.
This police state campaign is an initiative of America's Jewish shadow government. Even the U.S. Army War College says that the Jews did 911. The Jews built the first totalitarian soviet nightmare. They are building another.
To fight back, start by getting rid of your TV and make a conscious lifestyle change to reduce your spending. As they say, "exercise the terrible power of the purse.". Stop fueling their war machine with your consumer dollar.
@dvarblo The point was that it always happens. We can't go 50 years without something like this happening. It's not going on 300 years too early, it's just one more instance between now and then.
I wish they would play these at Westminster because our Right Dishonourables are a vulgar people especially those in Labour! Anyway they are doing it now, Iran for example why do we need to interfere with their Nuclear programme? Infact we don't even need nuclear weopons why do we still have them? Another example is Cameron's "moral duty" when it comes to Foreign Aid we feed a people to keep them alive breed but cant look after themselves! It's perverse to tell your constituents how to think!!!
NATO is queen of england' s private hired army = Usa, europe and ?
she reports to vatican. Vatican is wealthiest country on planet earth.
queen of england owns USA. USA is a corporation. she's entitled to high % of minerals/resources that come out of the USA. that is why BP oil genocide in Gulf of Mexico got away with it. they are now after Baaken shale basin in USA, which is largest oil preserve over saudi. they will contaminate drinking water & kill all wildlife. no more oil wars!
@worldpeace2u What happens when your lies catch up with you? Middle Eastern Saudi sponsored Terrorism depends on Western Technology like cell phones and airplanes. You should thank the Modern World for entertaining your inventionless culture (numbers where invented by Hindu Indians, despite what crappy Muslim-Arabs would like you to believe) and not simply bombing you out of existence and dividing your lands and resources.
You know, I first saw this episode when I was around 6, can't say I understood it at that age but I always knew it was important and to this day, when ever I feel like I'm drifting too far to the right, I watch this episode and it grounds me and brings me firmly back to logical reasoning.
Its the mark of a great series when it can keep you thinking rationally and inspire you to try and make your self a better person. All hail the Picard.
In fiction, when the antagonist, the villain, is exposed to the audience, to the world, as a force of harm, destruction, "evil" if one must, it usually marks the end of his or her reign of terror. In fiction, those affected by the villain's "evil" know what must be done to correct the wrongs perpetrated by that villain. How sad that it doesn't quite work that way in reality. Wouldn't it be something if life were more like Star Trek? It's not an unreasonable hope.
Funny how it shows in this episode that a Woman is the one who is undermining progress just out of spite! And I have known some real bitches in my time and they all have come across as vulgar as this woman!!!
I truly wish they would show this in schools, to try and get people to think for themselves and of other people. The world would be a much better place if we started using 1/10th of Star Trek's morals.
I love when the guy calls Worf's father a collaborator and Worf starts toward him like ' Oh it's on!' He would have ripped that guy's spine out of him.
For me, this used to feel somewhat theoretical.... now, after this last decade, I get chills watching this, especially when Worf states, "The Federation does have enemies, we must seek them out." and Picard replies, "Oh yes, that's how it starts."
@erentheca After the last decade? You mean when a limited number of actually guilty terrorists were held, questioned and or killed after plotting acts of terror?
@fjccommish Of course we should seek out and bring to fair trial those people that would hurt others. The key point here though is, 'bring to fair trial'. Detained people have to be brought to trial or released without charge after a period of evidence gathering. In recent years there have been many examples of western countries extending the length of detention without trial. Effectively chipping away at individual rights, which damages the freedoms we are trying to protect c.f. Adlène Hicheur
@deathtopenguin5 In American and international law there are rules governing spies, traitors and enemy combatants. No citizen in America has a single right "chipped away" when a declared enemy of the nation, who perpetrated terrorist acts, is detained or questioned.
@fjccommish I agree that there are different rights/laws for enemy combatants, but I was talking about people who haven't been judged as being combatants and have denied being spies/terrorists. There are unfortunately still legal loopholes for governments to indefinitely detain suspects without charge on flimsy and unreleased evidence. My point is that without trials for these people, where evidence can be publicly and impartially heard, we make a mockery of the rights of the individual.
@fjccommish Richard Belmar (UK citizen, held in GTMO 3 years, no charges); Martin Mubanga (UK/Zambian, held in GTMO 3 years, no charges); Adlène Hicheur (French, still held in France since 2009, no trial). These are just three that I got from memory and a quick google to check. There's a good investigation into GTMO detainees from 2008 on the McClatchydc website and there was a Guardian article on 25/04/2011 from the wikileaked documents about the 'evidence' used to hold people.
@fjccommish I agree that there are different rights/laws for enemy combatants, but I was talking about people who haven't been judged as being combatants and have denied being spies/terrorists.

@Usul573 I know what you mean, but the problem happens when they tell us the terrorists have nukes when they haven't. Its all about being able to trust our governments to be honest (if that is possible lol).
It's a pain, tough calls sometimes, I got worried about the nukes Pakistan has or others falling into the wrong hands for a bit there though, terrorists who feel that they will go straight to heaven for their acts are so dangerous because of willing to die or take risks.
@Usul573 It will always happen while natural fear is mitigated with cults rather than mind, so resulting in unbalanced judgement and atrocity. But the internet is providing global self-education opportunity to its citizens, so the mind could yet still prevail (I hope ;D)
Of course the Federation DO start hunting down their own, the Maquis, simply because the Maquis did not want to give up their homeworlds when the Federation ceded them to the Cardassians.
@kev3d The Maquis attacked the Cardassians. If Starfleet had not hunted them, that would have given the Cardassians an excuse to invade the DMZ and possibly lead to a full scale war. The Federation is surrounded on all sides by hostile races, they can't risk that. They fought two other wars during the Cardassian war. Another war could mean other races starting wars to take advantage of the situation. The Maquis chose to stay on the Cardassian's side of the border despite the risks.
@KingOfMadCows The "Cardassian side" of the border were planets the federation ceded without the consent of those living on them. Until then, no Cardassian had ever lived there. (at least not as I recall) True to their past habits, the Cardassians began to harass and imprison those who chose to stay. Basically, the Federation pulled a Neville Chamberlain when he brokered a "peace treaty" with Hitler, allowing him to keep Czechoslovakia.
@kev3d Actually, it was a trade. Some Cardassian colonies would end up on the Federation's side of the border and some Federation colonies would end up on the Cardassian's side of the border. The Federation and Cardassians only had an armistice at the time and the treaty was negotiated to permanently end the war. If they had not signed the treaty, either the border skirmishes would have continued or the war would have resumed.
@KingOfMadCows A trade without the consent of the governed. And again, I point to Neville Chamberlain's treaty with Hitler, which was a trade of a sort too; Czechoslovakia in exchange for "peace in our time". I think it was a bold writing move on DS9's part to show the Federation as being as corrupt as any other empire in the Galaxy. But I think the writers feared that they would alienate too many viewers so they had to maintain a sense of irrationality among the Maquis.
@kev3d Except the people living there did consent. The treaty was specifically modified so that the colonists could stay. Originally, the Cardassian's terms were that the colonies be evacuated or the war would continue.
The Munich Agreement was an attempt to prevent war. The treaty with the Cardassians ended a war.
DS9 does not show the Federation being corrupt, it shows how the Federation deals with no win situations. It's the same themes Wrath of Khan dealt with but on a bigger scale.
@KingOfMadCows The colonists did not consent to being ruled and oppressed by the Cardassians, that is why the Maquis existed. Memory Alpha clearly states that the Cardassians had no intention of honoring the deal by leaving the colonists alone. watch?v=DRxPjJ8VlyE this puts it into perspective for me. Peace (which isn't actually peaceful in the long run) at the expense of liberty is hardly a noble pursuit.
@kev3d Yes they did. The colonists were given a choice, either let Starfleet evacuate them or stay under Cardassian rule. That was the only way to end the war. Watch the TNG episode "Journey's End," the treaty was negotiated after that episode.
Also, you have to keep in mind that 24th century weapons are much more powerful than our weapons. It wouldn't take more than a few photon torpedoes for the Cardassians to completely wipe out those colonies and they're obvious capable of such atrocities.
@KingOfMadCows Uproot or be oppressed...that is not a choice. By the way, the Cardassian colonists on the Federation side also objected. Also, why would the Cardassians "wipe out" the colonists? They would love the use of slave labor, as they did during the occupation of Bajor.
As far as stopping the war, the treaty was signed in 2370, according to memory Alpha, with the Dominion War beginning AFTER the treaty was signed. Whatever the treaty was supposed to do, it failed.
@kev3d How exactly is that the Federation's fault? How does that show the Federation being corrupt? The only other alternative was war.
The Cardassians used the Bajorans as slave labor because the Bajorans didn't have the technology to resist. If war were to continue, the Federation would send in starships and weapons. Enslaving the colonists would be too much trouble.
And what does the Dominion War have to do with it? The treaty was signed before they even knew of the Dominion's existence.
5:39 Do you think Worf was about to kill the guy if Picard hadn't stopped him? God I love this show.

Anyway they are doing it now, Iran for example why do we need to interfere with their Nuclear programme? Infact we don't even need nuclear weopons why do we still have them? Another example is Cameron's "moral duty" when it comes to Foreign Aid we feed a people to keep them alive breed but cant look after themselves! It's perverse to tell your constituents how to think!!!

NATO is queen of england' s private hired army = Usa, europe and ?
she reports to vatican. Vatican is wealthiest country on planet earth.
queen of england owns USA. USA is a corporation. she's entitled to high % of minerals/resources that come out of the USA. that is why BP oil genocide in Gulf of Mexico got away with it. they are now after Baaken shale basin in USA, which is largest oil preserve over saudi. they will contaminate drinking water & kill all wildlife. no more oil wars!

You know, I first saw this episode when I was around 6, can't say I understood it at that age but I always knew it was important and to this day, when ever I feel like I'm drifting too far to the right, I watch this episode and it grounds me and brings me firmly back to logical reasoning.
Its the mark of a great series when it can keep you thinking rationally and inspire you to try and make your self a better person. All hail the Picard.

In fiction, when the antagonist, the villain, is exposed to the audience, to the world, as a force of harm, destruction, "evil" if one must, it usually marks the end of his or her reign of terror. In fiction, those affected by the villain's "evil" know what must be done to correct the wrongs perpetrated by that villain. How sad that it doesn't quite work that way in reality. Wouldn't it be something if life were more like Star Trek? It's not an unreasonable hope.

fjccommish 5 months ago
@fjccommish Of course we should seek out and bring to fair trial those people that would hurt others. The key point here though is, 'bring to fair trial'. Detained people have to be brought to trial or released without charge after a period of evidence gathering. In recent years there have been many examples of western countries extending the length of detention without trial. Effectively chipping away at individual rights, which damages the freedoms we are trying to protect c.f. Adlène Hicheur

@deathtopenguin5 In American and international law there are rules governing spies, traitors and enemy combatants. No citizen in America has a single right "chipped away" when a declared enemy of the nation, who perpetrated terrorist acts, is detained or questioned.
fjccommish 5 months ago
@fjccommish I agree that there are different rights/laws for enemy combatants, but I was talking about people who haven't been judged as being combatants and have denied being spies/terrorists. There are unfortunately still legal loopholes for governments to indefinitely detain suspects without charge on flimsy and unreleased evidence. My point is that without trials for these people, where evidence can be publicly and impartially heard, we make a mockery of the rights of the individual.

These are just three that I got from memory and a quick google to check. There's a good investigation into GTMO detainees from 2008 on the McClatchydc website and there was a Guardian article on 25/04/2011 from the wikileaked documents about the 'evidence' used to hold people.

Of course the Federation DO start hunting down their own, the Maquis, simply because the Maquis did not want to give up their homeworlds when the Federation ceded them to the Cardassians.
kev3d 6 months ago
@kev3d The Maquis attacked the Cardassians. If Starfleet had not hunted them, that would have given the Cardassians an excuse to invade the DMZ and possibly lead to a full scale war. The Federation is surrounded on all sides by hostile races, they can't risk that. They fought two other wars during the Cardassian war. Another war could mean other races starting wars to take advantage of the situation. The Maquis chose to stay on the Cardassian's side of the border despite the risks.
KingOfMadCows 6 months ago
@KingOfMadCows The "Cardassian side" of the border were planets the federation ceded without the consent of those living on them. Until then, no Cardassian had ever lived there. (at least not as I recall) True to their past habits, the Cardassians began to harass and imprison those who chose to stay. Basically, the Federation pulled a Neville Chamberlain when he brokered a "peace treaty" with Hitler, allowing him to keep Czechoslovakia.
kev3d 6 months ago
@kev3d Actually, it was a trade. Some Cardassian colonies would end up on the Federation's side of the border and some Federation colonies would end up on the Cardassian's side of the border. The Federation and Cardassians only had an armistice at the time and the treaty was negotiated to permanently end the war. If they had not signed the treaty, either the border skirmishes would have continued or the war would have resumed.
KingOfMadCows 6 months ago
@KingOfMadCows A trade without the consent of the governed. And again, I point to Neville Chamberlain's treaty with Hitler, which was a trade of a sort too; Czechoslovakia in exchange for "peace in our time". I think it was a bold writing move on DS9's part to show the Federation as being as corrupt as any other empire in the Galaxy. But I think the writers feared that they would alienate too many viewers so they had to maintain a sense of irrationality among the Maquis.
kev3d 6 months ago
@kev3d Except the people living there did consent. The treaty was specifically modified so that the colonists could stay. Originally, the Cardassian's terms were that the colonies be evacuated or the war would continue.
The Munich Agreement was an attempt to prevent war. The treaty with the Cardassians ended a war.
DS9 does not show the Federation being corrupt, it shows how the Federation deals with no win situations. It's the same themes Wrath of Khan dealt with but on a bigger scale.
KingOfMadCows 6 months ago
@KingOfMadCows The colonists did not consent to being ruled and oppressed by the Cardassians, that is why the Maquis existed. Memory Alpha clearly states that the Cardassians had no intention of honoring the deal by leaving the colonists alone. watch?v=DRxPjJ8VlyE this puts it into perspective for me. Peace (which isn't actually peaceful in the long run) at the expense of liberty is hardly a noble pursuit.
kev3d 6 months ago
@kev3d Yes they did. The colonists were given a choice, either let Starfleet evacuate them or stay under Cardassian rule. That was the only way to end the war. Watch the TNG episode "Journey's End," the treaty was negotiated after that episode.
Also, you have to keep in mind that 24th century weapons are much more powerful than our weapons. It wouldn't take more than a few photon torpedoes for the Cardassians to completely wipe out those colonies and they're obvious capable of such atrocities.
KingOfMadCows 6 months ago
@KingOfMadCows Uproot or be oppressed...that is not a choice. By the way, the Cardassian colonists on the Federation side also objected. Also, why would the Cardassians "wipe out" the colonists? They would love the use of slave labor, as they did during the occupation of Bajor.
As far as stopping the war, the treaty was signed in 2370, according to memory Alpha, with the Dominion War beginning AFTER the treaty was signed. Whatever the treaty was supposed to do, it failed.
kev3d 6 months ago
@kev3d How exactly is that the Federation's fault? How does that show the Federation being corrupt? The only other alternative was war.
The Cardassians used the Bajorans as slave labor because the Bajorans didn't have the technology to resist. If war were to continue, the Federation would send in starships and weapons. Enslaving the colonists would be too much trouble.
And what does the Dominion War have to do with it? The treaty was signed before they even knew of the Dominion's existence.
