Nation of Sheep | Andrew Napolitano

[joshuamiller79]

We need The Judge on the Supreme Court.

Or in the White House in some capacity.

What a victory for Liberty that would be.

[Fedproman]

This man is a national treasure. 

[BoudiccaBlanc]

The US Federal Reserve (a private bank) should loose it's charter.

The US needs a National bank with a commodity-based currency.

[garrethdavis]

And this was 3 years ago... 

[PatHenry4RonPaul]

The so called PATRIOT Act was written well in advance of the "need." We have no idea what laws are already written for the "appropriate emergency." Remember this Act had no hearings and no one who voted for it had read it! At about the 45:00 is a statement that will uphold my saying, "Anyone who voted for this Act should literally be tarred and feathered." That needs to be brought back to send a message to Oath Breaking Congressmen.

[MagnanimousMichael]

He briefly mentions at 44:30 the way the government owns and operates as corporations, and you can view the government's ownership and investments by searching for CAFR (Comprehensive annual financial report) and your state or local government, pension, school district, etc.

[tlt61]

Judge is so interesting to listen to. It is a shame that American Schools don't pay more attention to what he says.

[cedricalien]

Hitler and Stalin would be envious.

[Zaphodox]

I have not heard any speakers from the Mises / Austrian school of thought address the problem that the vast majority of gold is held by a few banks, mainly European and Chinese. The amount of gold in the USA is actually rather small.

[13AJJONES]

IT MAKES ME SO MAD WHEN I SEE VIDEO OF THE JUDGE OR RON PAUL, AND THEY HAVE SO FEW VEIWS.

FIX UP THAT TITLE AND TAGS, DUDE.....GOTTA GET THEM OUT THERE MORE !

[Americaisgreat123]

Judge Napolitano,

You said you'd accept Jefferson, Jackson, and Cleveland. I like all those Presidents, but what about Martin Van Buren? He was very, very good. Better than many of those in many opinion. Calvin Coolidge was also very good.

[jpcl21]

Quit whining - Get Some.

[idahoman325]

Its a sad world we live in when this important information has so few views and yet brittany spears can show some panty and get 12.5 million views ... Let it be said we were warned !

[bigman95impala]

extremely sad but you are certainly right

[Nintendomanwill]

I tell you there is a way we can make these videos popular and spread anti-statism through the internet. That way is through the slogan-CONTRACT NOT COERCION.

Coercion is the tool of central banks to bail out the FRB which liberty always kills.

Coercion is the tool of the Mercantilist whose schemes err with the free market.

Coercion is the tool of the Marxist who'se devastation of the division of labour and society runs contrary to the purposes of the subdued individual.

Let the market rule!

[xdream1]

Judge makes total sense. "truth is treason in a kingdom of lies" — Ron Paul

END THE FED whip the money changers from the temple!!!!!

[KraljevicPavle]

35:30 ish: magnificent sigh, Judge!

[TadRapidly]

Power (greed) does NOT corrupt strong minds. A strong mind is rooted in spiritual knowledge and reality and NOT in materialistic concerns. Materialism is a fools game.

[hellavadeal]

Power" tends" to corrupt , but "absolute" power corrupts absolutly . no exceptions that is why we have ballance of power , so no man will have absolute power. Even good me get corrupted by absolute power. Even King David, am man after gods heart.

[TadRapidly]

If "power" (manipulating others) corrupts you then you are not "good". We all know what "good" means and manipulating others for material gain is not good. Again, materialism is for ignorant, short-sighted retards.

[hellavadeal]

So you give your possesion away first. Even a good man will be corrupted by supreme power. No man should be given to much power if you want them to stay honest.

[TadRapidly]

I agree with you. My only point is that materialism is what we're talking about here: power equals greed. And materialism is the realm of stupidity. it is fleeting and does not give meaningful peace or joy. That is why people who indulge in "power" are ignorant.

[hellavadeal]

Thanks for getting me strait on your comment. I agree. People judge success by the wrong things. By how much we make or how much we have. It would be better if we saw success in what we do for each other. Pease.

[TadRapidly]

Yup. Actually, if you look at it, full preoccupation with material wealth is what we call "hell" because you chase it and chase it and its never enough. It exhausts your spirit and you never get what you're looking for! Blessings.

[ThatLoudGuyMike]

Spiritual knowledge?

[TadRapidly]

yeah, knowledge of who you really are, beyond the physical body. Thats spiritual knowledge.

[RedShirtArmy]

Restore liberty by abolishing the central government. The Feds need to go. Reduce that medium-sized city in the District of Corruption to just a normal, crime-ridden town and the whole world would be far better.

[norcofreerider604]

If Jefferson were alive today, he would be disgusted, not necessarily by the government and the monster it has become, but at the people, who have sold their rights for promises of security. He would be disgusted at the apathy of the public to the injustices they suffer on a daily basis. From income and property tax, to the foreign wars of empire, he would weep for the America he wonce knew and helped found.

[TNAROHfan]

If Jefferson were alive today he would be PISSED!!!

[thablackmarkit]

Jackson too. He survived multiple assasination attempts fighting central banking.

[corporateCoffee]

@thablackmarkit

Jackson is my fucking hero man.

[selfrealizedexile]

@norcofreerider604

Napolitano once said that if Jefferson, Adams, and Madison were all alive today, they couldn't muster 3% in a general election. I laughed for a while.

[wreksangel]

@norcofreerider604 Very well said, Sir.

[controlpopulation]

Judge should say: "Power corrupts WEAK minds." Unfortunately there are many in power.

[leogex]

Frank Herbert summed it up when he said power attracts the corrupt and the corruptible.

[Okooka]

A very good speaker he is, he is.

[FreiheitKampfer]

Ugh.. why is it even the intelligent people that are pro-individual rights are still bringing 'God' into economics and politics?

=/

[gdbalck]

Because it is God, not the state, that nurtures the individual. The state cares about itself, its power.

[FreiheitKampfer]

please understand: if you truly believe your religion to be truth, you have to let people approach it as such. Don't blaspheme God by constantly associating God with the imperfect policies of human interaction.

[gdbalck]

God doesn't create policy. You should know better. Treat your neighboor as you would like to be treated? Do not covet anything of your neihgboor's? Stable societies arise from a common respect for each individual. If you picked up a Bible you would see much of that. I believe my religion to be true, I don't expect you to do the same. As such, I don't need your approval to validate my statement.

[FreiheitKampfer]

Humans are imperfect. 'God' is perfect. To claim to 'know' God is blasphemous. Humble yourself. It is clear that religious texts contradict and religious leaders interpret those contradictions as they see fit. So long as you are limited by your human form, you cannot know God. the rules you stated above are about how to gain god's favor. not which actions people should prosecute each other for. 'he who has not sinned should throw the first stone'. Government imperfection should not relate to God

[FreiheitKampfer]

Expansion: To claim to 'know' ANYTHING is misrepresenting yourself.

~spiritual agnostic

[Sepero1]

I don't need a god to believe in natural rights.

[pure2warrior]

He talks good but he sold out to FAUX news he did not speak out to save Ron Paul.

[Sepero1]

That's because he doesn't control television. The central bankers do.

[pure2warrior]

yes the Rothschild gods own the media, but no accounting for the people who sold out.

[Thunderwavia]

So true that the ones that seek to destroy our freedoms and rights, and joy, and hope, HAVE no Humour, or happiness, just look at HAMAS and Hezollah, or most of the populace of RUSSIA, and CHINA work slaves, the poor ignorance masses want whats left of the AMERICAN WESTERN Wealth.

[Thunderwavia]

This is all part of the Great Diversity. Change, we can believe in, Yes WE CAN< CHANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Thunderwavia]

Smart people always wear pink ties at a TALK

[eekdog2005]

The answer to this crisis is a world govt, a new world order, a new financial world order, complete control of the planet by enslaving the populations with debt. You don't have to be a slave if you could talk to people and help them understand. This is an attack on freedom.

[rubenximenes]

A real patriot, I'd say (what the heck, even from here, Europe, we can tell them apart!).

[NSResponder]

I sure hope judge Napolitano runs for the senate one of these days.

-jcr

[82abhilash]

Why? Power only corrupts. Why think he will be immune?

[Elasaltaculos]

So we should sway away from attaining power? I believe that one who is freedom loving and of sound mind can have power and remain uncorruptable. Ron Paul (albeit not a senator) has much integrity as far as I can tell.

[82abhilash]

That is not what I meant. It might as well be some are incorruptible. Just that getting people you like into positions of power may not always be as good an idea as it seems.

[jokertim777]

I will not forget the great men and women who have chosen to stand against the tide of evil and to rage against the increasing abuses as the decayed and crumbling facades of our government tumble outward. The beast that rises where once stood a shining city on the hill reeks of foul corruption and death. As it turns its hungry gaze against those who dare to oppose it, what will you do? Will you alter and abolish, or bow and polish? Choose wisely, the entire world hangs in the balance.

[Phrozenbot]

This comment is epic.

[82abhilash]

The charisma in your words. Are you quoting someone or did you write it yourself? In any case, it is epic.

[JohnJ2427]

The judge is great, but he mistakenly claims that Jefferson wanted the Bill of Rights to be enforced by judges. Putting judges in charge of controlling the government necessarily means removing control of the government from the people, an idea which would have horrified Jefferson.

[julianhpike]

I thought Jefferson was against judges on principle anyway? ... I could be wrong about this...

[JohnJ2427]

Jefferson was against making judges the final arbiters of the Constitution. He said that the people were the final arbiters of the Constitution. Unfortunately we abandoned that approach long ago.

[Nexus974]

You gotta love The Judge!!

[PeakedEarth]

Very well done. Thank you for sharing.

[charlessmyth]

Excellent video.

[argyle684]

It would be nice if the Obama and McCain drones watched this and actually learned a thing or two about what this country was founded upon. Although, I'm not going to hold my breath.

[poohtoob]

But to do that they would have to miss the next enthralling episode of American Idol, get real already!

65 BC

"It was believed by those who ran Rome that the people could be kept happy and content if they had access to varied and enjoyable entertainment. Caesar borrowed large sums of money to ensure that the entertainment provided was the best money could buy.

As a result, he became very popular with the poor of Rome, a considerable part of the city's population."

45 BC

Caesar = dictator

[PopsMcKracken]

Napolitano 2012!!!!!!!!!

[scientistwriter]

no Ron Paul.

[djsherin]

Ron Paul with Napolitano as Attorney General, or perhaps even Chief Justice if the opportunity arises.

[0rip0]

I was thinking vice president, but I like your ideas better. I can't even imagine how great this country would become.

[Takezou07]

Absolutely Brilliant!!!

[djsherin]

I've always liked Napolitano. I had no idea he was a follower of Mises. He is, quite simply, awesome.

[NSResponder]

I don't think "follower" is quite the right term. Mises wasn't very big on telling anyone what to do.

-jcr

[ubuibiok]

Total load of Bull, there is a place and a standing of every Fiat to value gold. Now, I have bowl of soup and a sandwich, how much of your gold will you give me for it?

[Seiku]

Uh, a dollars worth?

[wcarlpdrysdale]

end the fed

[printo69]

Napolitano should take an active role in restoring the GOP to its original beliefs & principles of individual liberty & small, non-intrusive government. Napolitano 2012!

[davincij15]

Democracies last only 200 years. * From bondage to spiritual faith; * From spiritual faith to great courage; * From courage to liberty; * From liberty to abundance; * From abundance to complacency; * From complacency to apathy; * From apathy to dependence; * From dependence back into bondage. We are transitioning to dependence. watch?v=P36x8rTb3jI It seems it's like the seasons it can't be stopped. Hope is not a solution.

[BWF89]

@davincij15: America, it seems has gone through three phases. At first it was a republic. After Abraham Lincoln and the Union govt raped and pillaged the Confederate States and forced them back into the union it became a nation. And after Woodrow Wilson sent troops to intervene in WWI it became an empire.

[davincij15]

That's the way you observe the facts of history it's not wrong just different, I view it in a more broader sense including all of man's history.

Right now people including my wife do not give a shit what government does just as long as it's not Bush doing it. I point out everything Obama voted for this year Bush voted for as well.

It's over. Duck and cover your ass.

This current crisis is transferring us to dependence the next crisis the masses will beg for bondage as many take advantage.

[djsherin]

Which is why we were supposed to be a Republic.

[LibertarianParty]

We love Mises to peeses!

[BWF89]

Napolitano FTW.

[ACPUSA]

I saw Judge Napolitano give an even more passionate presentation at the Reason Foundation a year or two ago. This one was more chilling, though, thanks to the new details about the federal "bailouts" of formerly private institutions.

[WKaliber1]

00:17 is that Ron Paul?

[misesmedia]

Yes, Ron Paul in 1983.

[the7thwreck]

their plans are going smoothly. WAKE UP!!!
