HEATH LEDGER PASSIONATELY OPPOSING IRAQ WAR

[princessivoryrose]

He was so frustrated and angry! He looked so cute! I wanted to hold him! <3

[ITSLIKEARIVER2000]

They talk about this in the article "bulletproof" on .theage. website. <3

[ASGxZ]

.... and he just happens to be one of those "coincidental" famous people who tragically dies. Something smells fishy :3

[annie10103]

Dammit, Heath was the equivalent of Jesus

[Mejsem]

I FUCKING LOVE this man.

[CookiesMuffinsChibis]

''Loyalty to the country - always. Loyalty to the goverment, when it deserves it.'' That quote fits great with this interview.

It saddens me so much that such a great actor, and great person is gone...

[2skullscrushing]

Good people that have the potential to rally and inspire nations, and personal views, ALWAYS get killed. yes I said killed, he and Michael Jackson both were opinionated about the powers that be. this is how they have ALWAYS handled things.

[ijustwannalive1000]

I love Heath Ledger and I love him for what he said here!

[MisterBinx]

All the greatest Hollywood superstars are liberal. I love it. Heath was a good person. Heath had some great parents.

[L3SlLeYh]

He looks hot! I miss him alot he was such a great man! So talented and cared for everything and everyone. Rest in peace! And by the way happy early birthday!

[keithstah]

GREAT POST !! I had never seen this clip or this side of Heath. SOME OF THESE CELEBS NEED TO STAND UP, right now, and voice their displeasure about what's going on in the Midwest with all of these continuing attacks on unions. The SAG strike wasn't that long ago. Time to join up with the teachers and the workers in Wisconsin. This isn't even about unions anymore. People need to take a stand because it's against the rights of workers, regardless of your view of unions. Be safe everyone.

[mackayash]

After watching this, as far as I'm concerned this man is a martyr.

[blavia77]

wow not only was he a great actor, he stood up for what was right

[gemgirl123]

Ok someone please tell me how long after this he was dead, he died Jan 22, 08' so I need to know when this interview was??????

[springrose147]

@gemgirl123 This interview was recorded around 2003/2004.

[Subliminallll]

Dennis Quaid isn't crazy, he's telling the truth. Anyone with a status like Heaths, talking about the truth, gets cut short or put out of the game. Can you imagine how many people would be inspired by Heaths anti-war message after the release of The Dark Knight? He's become an idol as big as Bruce Lee, Brandon Lee, Bob Marley etc. because of the Joker alone. But that's the irony, all of those people I just listed had the same message and all died way too young. Coincidence? I think not.

[jelinto]

@Subliminallll

I never knew how outspoken Heath Ledger was about the Iraq war over there in Australia. News media keeps us in the dark about what's going on in other parts of the world. Unfortunately one has to come on Youtube to get the big picture.

See the info in my profile on my channel page & google "archive(dot)org dark knight 911" & watch the video. Ignore the anti-jewish sentiment and replace the word 'Jew' with 'Zionist'.

Spread the word!

[dontlistentomeimmute]

too shame.

[eyewitness043]

Maybey Dennis Quaid aint crazy! Hmmm.

[WinkyMaeve]

fuck man, easily my favourite actor, and clearly a stand up dude, we fucking love and miss you man.

[Gilly1917]

Very courageous Heath, we love u and miss u, RIP

[nkye111]

R.I.P. Heath........

[Faragnigskni]

its nice to have a person who has a balance between politeness and knowing what is right, and standing up for that. Something every1 has but they never get it right, its just brilliant, with regret of the short life he lived, that the planet was graced by him. Perhaps his parents have the parallel ability in parenting as Heath Ledger had in acting.

1979-2008

[IdaSputum]

lovely man with guts to be honest

[TJWhitewolf]

It's such an honor to know that both Heath and I both protested the Iraq war BEFORE it even started! (not that it accomplished anything). He was anti-violence, anti-hate, and pro-everything just, right, and good. There are no adequate words to describe him. I'm actually happy that he doesn't have to live in this putrid world anymore. He's in paradise where he belongs.

[meheh12345]

couldnt agree with him anymore.

[scottwebb]

@ Dorzey100 I agree totally matey

[halflifeproductionz]

its always the good people that die early.

[TJWhitewolf]

@halflifeproductionz Probably by design. Heath was one of the rare princes of Hollywood. I say "prince" because of his pure heart and soul. How many actors today are truly good souls? Not many that I can think of. He deserves the greatest of riches that Heaven has to offer.

[MmeLEnfer]

This's SO good -- he had the guts to say the truth about howard instead of pussyfooting around the issue like almost everybody else... Heath was such a good guy. And brilliant in "Candy". Rest in peace

[sana0hk]

:) i love him.. may he rest in peace! the best ones leave quickly

[AlwaysRi]

War is as natural as anything else in human existence... just not this war.

[hmw612]

@AlwaysRi War used to be natural and necessary, but not anymore. The masses have to be manipulated to even get war supporters. We've evolved pass that way of life now, but the problem is we're still being manipulated on a massive scale.

[dorzey100]

he aint alive because hes famous and clearly isnt a coporate pupppet like many actors and musicans, take 5 mins to look at all the stars that have died by overdoes or natural causes and look at there interviews

[IndrasBlade77]

The global elite are mistaken in their Eugenics views for humanity. They take the Hitlerian, base primitive-evolutionist stance that humanitarianism is for the weak and stupid, whereas many humanitarians are highly intelligent, talented, strong people. It is in fact those that protect others and have the guts to fight injustice that are the 'warriors', the strong in society, so by killing opposition the NWO are weakening humanity.

Think about that NWO.

[IndrasBlade77]

....and he dies.....hmmmmm. Michael Jackson was talking against bilderburgers and evil in general and also dies of a drug combination. Marylin Monroe who knew JFK intimately and many of his secrets also died of a drug overdose (any president who starts becoming a champion for the people dies, Lincoln, JFK etc).

[VeganBred]

@IndrasBlade77 yeah i dont buy it either .. this is what really got him killed

[blavatsky3]

Government knew about Corrosion inside Twin Towers and had to Fast-Track their

de-commissioning by 2007. NYC council forbid Controlled Demolition and the people who tendered the corrosion and de-commissioning research have destroyed all their files and had people sign forms saying they will never talk about this as per Thomas-Scott Gordon

 Search Thomas Scott Gordon and corrosion of the Twin Towers

keep posting this link

vv vv vv dot 911oz dot c om and search Thomas Scott Gordon

[glory2win]

i am an iraqi , all i want to say is , your not just a great actor but you are also a great human , rest in peace

[MsPrincessi]

now thats what i call a MACHO MAN! standing up for his rights and speaking his mind! and so gooooooooooooooooorgeous too x

[Amar90]

Agree 100% with Heath.

[memorygirl55]

If this dear guy was still alive today, he and us who hate what is going on even more so now, would be up there yet again. Peace and NO WAR (what a wonderful dream this is, and I hate to say the way things are going, as an ashamed Brit, Peace is a long way off! Thankyou for the interview Springrose. RIP HEATH <3 <3

[springrose147]

You're welcome :)

[Chan3lprincess16]

@springrose147 You know that 'Im NotThere'' interview where Heath has a interviewer named brett martin the fat guy is such a douchebag yet Heath still nice to him.He call ron howard a dick then have one his last interviews w/ one

[xxlfcloverxx]

bladrunner6.... ii agree at least he has the guts=D

RIP Heath Gone but not forgotten<3 xx

[rexusdiablos]

I had no idea that he political interests.

[bladrunner6]

GOOD ON HIM! I wish in the UK someone of his calibre in the public eye, would say something in public about the fool we have running our country.

[itsallforheath]

What a truly remarkable man, speaking out like that. We definatley need more people like him to state what they believe in and what they think is right. I agreed with everything he said there, we are not enough!

R.I.P heath - let your light shine forever

[Lenaisfreaky]

think this questions are making him nervous :D 

miss him ;/

[ILUVNY1994]

i really love him. such a loss. so talented, incredibly insightful and intelligent. i miss him :(

[suckyamomma30]

Agree 100% with Heath.

[28summerland]

what a man, what a man, what a man...what a mighty. good. man.

[litpal]

The most sophisticated actor in the world.

His wit, his sense of humour.

His stand for his country.

Waltzing Matilda, are u ever going to have another Heath in your history?

P.S. Heath made a good point: both George W. B and John H. were "dicks".

[AntiGDYB]

austalian prime minister he called a dick,was theone who was sad ovver his death saying lost one of australians amazong actors :(

[evilzlatan]

He's so amazing! The best of us really do die young!

[TheQTubeaccount]

...

[underdog9986]

This video just shows what a kind, good soul Heath was. I totally agree with every word he said! The world DOES need more people like him and we SHOULD all live a peaceful existence. I miss you Heath R.I.P.

P.S. End the war!

[magic13christispage]

i didn't know heath ledger... i knew him just by name... and i'm sad about this, i hope i'd know more about him... i saw this video, and i really think he must have been a really worthy man... i'm sorry about his death... but i certainly know i'm not as his best fans... so, i'm sorry 'bout you too guys... goodbye heath...

[ollymcguirk]

nice little vid, cheers. i do like heath, it is sad he is gone, he was really beginning to show his real talent, with brokeback, candy, n dark knight. very different kind of actor, n its a shame he aint here. he was much better than alot of people realise. but also, i think its a shame that alot of people liked him because of his looks, and his age etc. but i dont think that did him justice, he was a lot like christian bale i thought, it was always about the work, nothing else. good guy.

[TheHolyPlungers]

I love u, Heath! U tell them!!! Ur so right! I would have been proud to stand there with u as u said what u believe!!!! GO HEATH!!! U r so awesome!

[andreabby008]

its going to be really hard not to hear his voice anymore, like new stuff i mean.

but we should be thankful that hes in a better place, and he gave us all these wonderful movies to remeber him by..im will him 110% on this stupid war thing. rip heath ledger, your heart was soo big, i guess god wouldnt let it live.

<3

[springrose147]

No worries :)

[springrose147]

Australia was getting involved in a war that had nothing to do with our country... It doesn't matter what nationality you are when you speak up against war and support peace...

[TheLOVEABLEbubble]

a funny and passionate gentlemen. im very proud of heath

[musiicmasterrr]

Go Heath!!

That was beautiful!

Love you!

[kenzo4000]

"""" Also, we have killed a BUTTLOAD of terrorists in iraq. People say it has nothing to do with a war on terror. Wrong. """

You have also created way more terrorists by disbanding the Iraqi army. Good job.

[Glopezfan104]

He's is completly right and samrt GO HEATH ! PEACE!

[keith7198]

The war was fought under the intelligence that Iraq had WMDs as well as terrorist training grounds. Clinto and Bush had this same intel. THAT is a good reason to go in . But the intel wasn't sound so what are you going to do? If the intel was right, and Sadaam continued to supply terrorists with WMDs, it would be only a matter of time before we had one here in the US.

Also, we have killed a BUTTLOAD of terrorists in iraq. People say it has nothing to do with a war on terror. Wrong.

[springrose147]

Fact is that around 1.5 million Iraqis (mostly innocent civilians) have been killed in this war - no reasoning or excuse justifies this loss of life...

Please keep in mind that my videos are there to honour and celebrate Heath Ledger and I do not wish to get involved in political discussions for that reason - thank you.

[musiicmasterrr]

Heath was right.

This is a war about oil and that was what Bush cared about the most. He wanted control. And all of these countries that have gotton involved in this war that is supposedly about stopping the torrorists should really just mind their own business. In fact, I'm sure that the U.S would be in much better shape if we weren't always trying to get in the middle of things.

Last time I check, our four fathers did not build a country that fights for nothing.

[MRIamJOB]

whatever heath said, is the complete antithesis to what the Joker would;ve thought

[tralala08x]

Wow ,boy can he make a point!

Bravoo.

R.I.P HEATH LEDGER X

[kwel189]

The war should not have gone down period. We need to realize that the Persian people have had their religion and beliefs for thousands of years and if they want to be like us -they will. We have no right to impose our values and beliefs on other countries -which is what we tried to do. We have crimes against women every hour in this country and we are not as "Free" as we think. RIP HEATH

[phuckmilkgotpot]

i love heath ledger and he was a great actor but i would have to disagree.for personal reasons that nobody cares about so i will not share.

[catiamancini]

♥

[namzuG23]

RIP BRO

[bestvideoiseen]

they are doing nothing in the middle east to keep australia safe..show me some evidence that what they are doing is making australia safe..it was safe before they got involved in the war so what the hell are u idiots all talking about. if u think going over there is giving them freedom let them voice there opiions on tv to the media that is what freedom is all about letting people have a voice.

[gonzobold]

I remember when that protest march happened and I took part in one myself against the Howard government. Calling John Howard a 'dick' is an understatement. I've called him much worse and had sent our cowardly prime minister many letters telling him of my opposition to our involvement in Iraq.

I totally agreed with Heath then and I still do now. We got the last laugh on Howard and voted his sad arse out of office Heath :)

RIP Heath, you'll never be forgotten mate!

[musiccompletesme16]

So true

We need more celebrities and people who can make a difference to do this and not walk around with their heads permanantly up their arses.

Heath's got guts ly x

[electriclily08]

AS alwayz I couldnt agree with you more Springrose!! YOu are such a doll foir putting up all these videos...I Love ALL of them...Heath was so amazing...He will never be forgotten....Prays for Sweet MAtilda* Spittin image of her daddy** Lucky Girl...To have his blood running thru her...She is a darlin....God Bless Heath's soul...and Michelle and Matilda,.... Heath's sister's and Mom & dad...they will be broke up over this For Life..there is no FORGETTING HEATH God Bless them and Matilda!! RIP

[closetbug]

what''s up with the audio in the beginning?

[springrose147]

What do you mean? Are you referring to the sound quality? I just captured what was available - couldn't find this footage with any better sound quality... I guess it's the content that matters :)

[closetbug]

I didn't mean to complain. :) I'm very thankful for you putting this up. But yeah, the audio in the very beginning has a strange echo. But no, it doesn't really matter. :)

[springrose147]

No worries ;) thanks for commenting...

[xcheergirl93]

He is just AMAZING...I cannot believe such an incredible human being existed. Also he has incredible class, though hes strongly opposed to his decisions he hesitated to call him a dick LOL

[springrose147]

My guess is there were some worse descriptions going through his mind but he had to find a word that could be aired on national TV (just - LOL)...

[CrZy4AlFiE92]

dude....he is sooo rite!

=]]]

i love him so much and he will be forever missed♥

R.I.P. Heath♥

[derdriui]

He was hesitating over part of that - I think maybe saying it was a war for oil at that time was not popular.

And yus, their president was a prick.

And RIP Heath Ledger. Good man.

[22minuteslater]

i adore heath ledger, my hero!

[HLsunearthmoon]

he is/was sow cool who actually said that! I idolize him sow much!!!

[Xenabuffyfan]

I have always liked and admired Heath Ledger, but now....

I think I LOVE him :-)

We miss you big guy. You will always be remembered.

[ashaank]

RIP Heath...true inspiration 2 de fuked up world

[GabiGalaxy]

AMEN !

RIP Heathy , You Are One Inspirational Being .

And i Adore you . :]

[feititones]

thanks springrose, that was touching

[bbfl1234]

he is such a inspriation

[maillla]

i love him :D ...hes really inspirtaion and i cant explain my feelings but i have to tell that we have lost a much

[LOveTwiNz]

Every thing he said was true.

:)

[GoldandPlatnium]

i love heath ledger so much and ppl always say that he was just beggining and had dont his full potential yet but yes he did he once said that he wasnt in this for stardom the second he got bored he wud go on to try something new he did wat he wanted hes never gunna be forgotten or replaced i cant think of anyone that was more loved. i hate to think of when people say hes gone bc to me it feels like hes always standing right next to us.

[springrose147]

I totally agree with you. He's inspired me on so many levels - it does feel like his spirit is present. Rather than focus on the lost potential we need to be grateful for the magnitude of his contributions during his short life. He was/is the most amazing individual I have ever encountered...

[GoldandPlatnium]

yea he is so loved i cant even think of the rite words to describe him just that we all love him!<3

p.s. i liked the vid!

[dhnetvids]

So true!!!! I <3 him!!!!!

[RioValleyGirl]

Heath was not only handsome and talented and nice and compassionate...he was also smart!

Bring them home!

[ganrella7908]

Love You Ledger!!! Good on him for standing by what he said!

No! He is so not alone!

[ZoraZora137]

Go Heath! War sucks and I'm glad he expressed his opinion against it.

[violetta223]

Sorry but it's only because HEATH LEDGER says it that people do listen. If it was some ugly nobody, who would care??

There are a lot of people who care, it's just they're not famous, good-looking people.

[springrose147]

That's the whole point - very few famous people put their career on the line to oppose this war. He put his fame to good use...

[InglouriousBasterds]

And not many actors would do that - career in mind...

[ohkendra]

true...and one thing i love about heath was that he probably did this without thinking about his career at all. he didnt care if saying something like that would affect his star power, he didnt want star power. he just wanted to act.

and the world doesnt need more people like him, we just need him! or at least i do :[

[ollymcguirk]

yeah you are right, i mean who would be saying 'yeah what a great guy' if you or me put what he said up here or on tv. but i think it is good that he voices his opinion, even though it is a fairly dangerous one to voice, even though he will get a little stick for it, and he knows that but its good that with his fame and success he uses it to raise the issue and make people think a little more in cases they usually may not. you can tell he is an intelligent guy just listening and watching him.

[cinemaker006]

Everyday i think to myself, "maybe" and there is no maybe...he's gone...we're never going to see him again and the saddest part is the fact that he was just getting the ball rolling...sometimes it seems too horrible to be true---my favorite actor died before he even lived to his full potential

RIP, my friend : (

[Goldspleencathy]

Most of those actors we see in tv are just empty shells, too stupid too create their own thought, ca#$ing only about their money and how do they look. And among them there was him, whith his own opinions, a nice person, a good man. He gave me a hope that there are famous people worth of following their example. What a loss.

[monacommish33]

1:28 is priceless.

[belrokerinha]

I love Heath, and one of my questions is :" Why?" why he have to die rigth now...? he's brilhiant...and words are impossible to describe him...! Miss you Heath

[phantomsluva]

Heath was... magic. I can't think of a better word to describe him. Who he was, What he stood for...

Jesus of all the fat cats and sleazy politicians and rapists. Why? Why? Why did we have to loose such a beautiful, beautiful person. You were loved Heath, you truly were and we will ALWAYS miss you.

[mymel555]

i love heath:)rip:)

[RemtownProductions]

respect.

[MORBIDJOK3R]

yeah heath we in america agree with you. RIP i as well applaud your courage.

[bodyanti]

wow I had no idea he was so great. yay. miss him.

[darkling64]

omg i love him i miss him so much.

[KellyGreen5555]

Boy, I sure do miss Heath Ledger & will for a long time.

[OneofthoseClaymates]

Heath pwnz n00bz. I wish he could have came up here and punched Bush in the face. I woulda died laughing.

[texmexdude]

It would have been an honor to have been part of the protest with Heath.

[MatRaoulNash]

he called howard a dick brilliant

[moulinrouge125410]

I love him so much and he is just my hero!!!!

His shoes were even great!!!!! Heath Ledger is just great!

[MoviePostersDrawn94]

His VIEWS are SIMPLE but very TRUE...

[FantasmaLuna]

Well done, Heath! You were a good man.

Good journey, man!

[druroma]

Friggin' Fantastic! Heath was, is and will always be fabulous

[tinkigr22]

miss uuu..

rip

[Donnie2020]

I miss you Heath.

[hotandsexyreiko]

Heath ur so great!!! I just love this guy...at least sum1 in this world knows how much one life meant and not thinking about oils and the differences of religious issues, although to John Howard and Bush that's enough to make one country to strike a war against others.I was thrilled when I saw him joining the parade against the war.He was totally one sweet human being, oh, wait. He STILL IS!

RIP Heath Ledger.We love you.

[exquirkypod123]

YEA well everyone here is glad that john is no longer prime minister only because he did have a problem and im so glad that one of our most famous aussie icons were able to finally say that good on ya heath its so sad first we lose steve irwin*ok yea he was a real danger seeker and the chances were he would get something but heath ledger i fucking cried and still do my friends tell me to get over but how can I!!! R.I.P heath u were such a beautiful amazing talented person love now and always xox

[stillmissheath]

i agree with him, that OZ is a peacful country and had no business in the war. he said what me meant and meant what he said! I agree with him! it takes balls to do that nowadays!

[graeme6630]

That was just great, hilarious. I totally agree with Heath's point of view here. The Iraq War is just about oil and troops should've been pulled out after the Bush Administration admitted there were NO Weapons of Mass Destruction found. But, sadly, the US government and those governments that supported the 2003 invasion of Iraq are putting profit before world peace.

[Addieeex3]

I think he was a very brave, and intelligent man. I also agree with what he was saying.

I really do miss him.

[butterflykaela]

I TOTALLY disagree with his point of view. But it is a great thing for someone to stand up for what they believe in. Just because I view things differently definitely doesn't mean I don't appreciate what he did and said. Go Heath. I miss you!

[lucaaaaaa8D]

That was great !!!!!!!

[colinfarrelfan93]

he's so funny, thanks!

[KSEboom]

I miss him...

[musicstylin]

i think its brilliant

alot of actors are too scared to put there point out cause of what could be written about them in the media.

atleast one famous person can have his say and not care of the repercussions

[theoneali]

i soooooooooooo agree with him

[lollinds]

LMAO soo funny

[OHMYitsDana]

His look at 1:28 is so adorable.

[ally795]

lol i could tell he wanted to say more then "dick"

HAHAHA.....out of all the interveiws ive seen him in, he has never failed to make me laugh!

[xXxLauralixXx]

my god i love him! i totally agree with everything he said. that war had nothing to do with us yet John Howard being Bush's puppet was probably like "ok Georgie. if you're in the war, i'll put Australia in it too. just for you!" what a fucking arse kisser he was! good on you Heath! tell it like it is! i miss him :(

[BeachGirl452]

thank you so much for posting this

its nice to know what he did for our

country standing up for what he believed in is what a true aussie should do. it still hasnt sunk into me yet that hes gone but i guess ill have to accept it sometime

R.I.P Heath xo a great life cut short

[eyeokina]

I seriously didn't believe it was possible, but now I admire him even more.

[springrose147]

That's happened to me, too, over and over. Rememer, these videos still only show little snippets of his life - I think we would be absolutely blown away if we knew the full extent of how truly amazing he really was...

[Ailesh]

Me too. I think I'm in love.

[pandora7891]

Thank you so much for posting this! I have been looking for those clips for a long time-I was at the protest in 2003 and was so proud of heath ledger for standing up and saying what he said-this was at the start of the war, dont forget-when a majority of celebs were, if not supporting the war, were not voicing how they felt due to political correctness. When mike moore made that speech at the oscars he was booed by most actors, who didnt realise how wrong the war was. Good on ya Heath!! RIP!

[springrose147]

Oh God, I would have loved to have been there that day... Did you actually meet Heath there, see him from the distance or just knew he was there but too many people around to see him?

[pandora7891]

lol Im pandora from the board heath heathens.

[gnomeognomeo]

What an absolute legend, RIP Heath, we miss you x

[nicpirateorlando]

Arh iits good to see him standing up 4 what he belivins in (yn)

Can u tell me where u got the pic at the end plz thnx nd thnx 4 posing xD

[springrose147]

I can't remember the source but I've saved it to photobucket. I'll send you a pm with the link.

[sugakane84]

Onya Heath! RIP.

[galrealtor]

Could he look any cuter than when the male interviewer says something like, "And what do you say to those who say, get your hand off it, what do you know, Ledger?" and Heath starts rubbing his face searching for an answer, and then slowly develops a grin as he sheepishly turns to the interviewer? That expression is SOOO cute. He was at a loss for words for a moment, and then articulated a brilliant response that was the complete truth. He was so smart and articulate on top of everything else.

[springrose147]

Well said. BTW, did you know that the interviewer, Andrew Denton, went to the same school as Heath (Guildford Grammar)?

[galrealtor]

YOU'RE AWESOME, AS ALWAYS! THANK YOU SO MUCH. Watching him fight to keep "dick" from passing his lips (that sounds really funny), was just hysterical. He had NO control. I never heard about the thumb in the ass comment. What a character. I'm now going to remove my old video of him just with that interviewer, and replace it with this one. :-)

Your biggest fan, Jill

[springrose147]

LOL - I wonder what swear words he held back before finally settling for 'dick'...

Thanks for your appreciation.

[BlueAngelFan1]

LOL - One can only imagine the names that were racing thru his head at that moment.

I and a lot of Americans feel the same way Heath did. God Bless him for voicing his opinion and his beliefs. The world really does need more people like him.
