Silence is betrayal (MLK anti-war speech)

[choquizuela]

King: "The US is the greatest purveyor of violence in the world." Murdered before 40 yrs. old.

Obama: "The US is the finest force in the world, an extraordinary achievement, selfless heroes, moral giants", blah blah, blah... President by 47.

The GIANT abyss between these two....

[ctoby5]

I cried.................

[stonethugmusic]

..... " THE DAMN REAL ALL DAY 24/7 SUPER MAN " TELLING IT LIKE IT IS BABY ALL DAY LONG " GO KING GO "

[tedmaulz]

the 'war on terror' the biggest lie ever packaged.

[LordOrlock]

@tedmaulz Goebbels would be astounded by the depths of the American lies. We have soundly beaten Goebbels in terms of lying: He would be proud.

[LandDestroyerReport]

This will stop the minute Americans stop paying their time, energy, and attention to the Fortune 500 - believe it or not the immense profits made by corporations like Pepsi and Coke go to think-tanks that drum up these wars of profit. You might not be able to boycott Exxon today, but you surely can live without the junk peddled by Pepsi and Coke.

RON PAUL 2012 

[DebsForPresident]

what a pity that people try to use the message of Dr. King to promote the campaign of Ron Paul, the polar opposite of King on nearly every issue. MLK fought for equality, Paul opposes civil rights act. Paul opposes all affirmative action while supported strong AA. From unions and fair wages to public education and health to women's right to choose, Paul is against what King stood for. Sick of the right peverting King's message!

[danlufan]

@DebsForPresident where do you get your facts? the media? Ron Paul mentioned MLK in the last debate. He supports his message.

[TheFlenog]

i need to pull this off for a play, this great man, i don't think i can :/ he is such a strong speaker. when he talks everyone listens

[justaguy08]

He was a genius no wonder the cia had to eliminate/kill him he was a powerful force to be reckon with seriously. This MAN was way before his time! Forever REMEMBER NEVER FORGET MLK&JFK R.I.P They were crucified for equality. Yet Gov/cia/dod attack libya for human rights violations WOW HOW Hypocritical! I believe karma is in order...

[grevous49]

I pood my pants

[JackTheJust]

Such a great human being! It is too bad so many of us think we are powerless to affect change without a great leader like Dr King to turn our small voices of protest into a loud unified voice of dissent.Seems like there are plenty of us outraged about US foreign policy? Just no one to unite us against the atrocities...

[OrleansBlues]

If not for the terrible us war machine you guys and gals would be having your daily bash the us speech on youtube fluently in german.

[wisdomtoknow]

@OrleansBlues That's not true, friend. Have you ever looked into war policies post WWII ( a justified war, a constitutional war ) ?

[SnuffGunnion]

@OrleansBlues

What planet are you from? I agree with what Martin Luther King had to say and by the way I'm a Viet Nam Veteran. That war was wrong. Not only does the US kill people of other countries, it kills its own citizens in various and sundry ways. It seems that you need a lesson in Humanity. I'd be glad to take on that task. Front and center troop.

[alanheath3]

@SnuffGunnion It must have been very difficult for you to be in Vietnam and yet know it was wrong. What did you think then?

[XtremePacifist]

This speech is why they murdered Martin Luther King. He exposed the true identity of the US Empire.

[reykool]

PRESIDENT OBAMA IS NOW THE ONE WHO IS MAKING WAR, WHILE SUPPORTING THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX AND ITS IMPERIAL POLICIES......WHAT MLK WOULD SAY ABOUT OUR SHAMEFUL PRESIDENT SERVING THE CORPORATE OLIGARCHY AND THE ZIONIST NEW WORLD ORDER AGENDA INSTEAD OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE INTEREST

PRESIDENT OBAMA ....NEVER MIND , YOU CAN KEEP THE CHANGE !

[TheeUnidentified]

"The enormous gap between what US leaders do in the world and what Americans think their leaders are doing is one of the great propaganda accomplishments of the dominant political mythology." - Michael Parenti

[massimo38]

@TheeUnidentified because the American people were never told the truth .

[RainbowDefender]

Evil watches, it waits and gains strength as the will of the people is broken. It no longer can freely hide behind god. What is evil? Evil is a rapist that drains humans of their life force. Evil takes so much from one human to give to another that does not need it! Evil is a drug that gets inside some and robs them of their true human state. Greed, greed, greed, greed,greed! America must find the balance between greed and compassion or it will succumb to this evil and be eaten from the inside!

[MaryJoMuser]

thank you for this it is more relevant than ever R.I.P. dear Martin

[franz909]

Testing Weapons , MLK was well informed . During Panama Invasion Dozens of witnesses said they saw CARS evaporate w/ strange weapon. IRAQI Doctors during invasion said people were vaporized (internal organs dissolved) while Cars were intact .. Obviously invasions are also used to test weapons . How depraved .

[curiousinkling]

America hasn't had a real president since JFK. Vietnam, the Cold War, Iraq, Afghanistan...every war, every military action, not only from America but from USSR and other nations, every war of any significance was created by the puppet masters that control our governments more than most of us realize. We can hold elections and vote all we want but they will never let us have a leader who will show us the way from this nightmare. They will kill them first, just like they did JFK, RFK and MLK.

[RODDERS790]

THE GOVERNMENT AND CORPORATIONS OF THE WORLD ARE THE BIGGEST PURVEYORS OF VIOLENCE NOT USA ITSELF. THERE ARE ONLY A HAND FULL OF PEOPLE IN COMPARISON THAT ARE DOING ALL OF THIS, NOT THE PEOPLE OF THE NATIONS.

[mac423]

@RODDERS790 agreed totally.. the military industrial complex loves war.

[tom500k]

Bravo, Dr. King! Impeach Obama who betrays us and our troops to serve the billionaire war profiteers who bankroll him.

[mac423]

@tom500k wait.. impeach Obama? well maybe.. but not on this issue. Obama was an unknown when the Iraqi War started. If you want to Impeach him, do it on what he has done while president. BUT.. being as only 1 president has ever been officially impeached, I'd be led to believe that the idea is a ghost of the past, and only used as an excuse to spend billions of taxpayers dollars on a mud slinging campaign.

[flyinghotwing]

@mac423 can we say afghanistan? and really its not about puppet presidents whoever they may be, its the folks pulling the strings in the background, you can start with the CFR

[JacobPhilipRenae]

@mac423 Two presidents have been impeached, actually - William J Clinton, and Andrew Johnson.

[mac423]

@JacobPhilipRenae Clinton was NOT impeached. They attempted to, but were not able to actually remove him from office. The Johnson impeachment happened in 1868. in fact, even that impeachment fell 1 vote short of actually being passed. Both of these examples prove that the impeachment process is nothing more than a mud slinging campaign, used to waste huge amounts of taxpayer money.

[JacobPhilipRenae]

@mac423 You clearly don't know what "impeach" means. From Wikipedia:

"Impeachment in the United States is an expressed power of the legislature that allows for formal charges against a civil officer of government for crimes committed in office. The actual trial on those charges, and subsequent removal of an official on conviction on those charges, is separate from the act of impeachment itself."

Both Andrew Johnson and William J Clinton were impeached. Neither were removed from office.

[itsjustadeer]

@JacobPhilipRenae Moron, Clinton wasn't impeached.

[JacobPhilipRenae]

@itsjustadeer He was impeached, but not removed from office. Same with Johnson.

[itsjustadeer]

@JacobPhilipRenae It takes both the House and Senate to impeach a president. William Clinton was aquitted by the Senate, therefore revoking his chance of being impeached by the House.

[JacobPhilipRenae]

@itsjustadeer From the same Wikipedia article, Impeachment In The United States.

"Two U.S. Presidents have been impeached: Andrew Johnson (trial) and Bill Clinton (trial). Both were acquitted at trial. Richard Nixon resigned in the face of the near certainty of his impeachment, which had already been approved by the House Judiciary Committee."

[itsjustadeer]

@JacobPhilipRenae I get it. He was impeached by the House.

[macdogq]

these are the days of our life, here on this earth, and the wicked has been given a place. We must fight the wicked, so we can live in peice.

[kindmomof2]

@macdogq In order to obtain peace, we must work for justice. Justice for all.

[macdogq]

@kindmomof2 We obtain peace throught justice, and let justice serve all. In order to do this, we must fight evil, and root them all out.

[Reid573]

There is no equivilance between the current global war on terror and the vietnam conflict, despite whatever Bin Laden or George Galloway tell us.

[mac423]

@Reid573 except both were ran solely by the US Govt? Public opinion has/is playing a huge role in both? How about the fact of inability to separate civilians from combatants? Something both conflicts have/had huge issues with. Now lets mention the fact that both enemies have used a guerrilla effort against our troops. Something the extremists have clearly learned from studying the Vietnam conflict.

[XtremePacifist]

They should ban "Christians" from joining the military.

That would not only end the US Empire, but could end all wars forever.

Then the true Christians who follow the teachings of Jesus Christ could reclaim Christianity.

[BoogerReyProductions]

Christians should not join based on Christianity not because there is a ban.

[franz909]

I am sick and god damn tired of the killing , the maiming of innocent people , blowing the brains out of little kids & treating people worst than cattle .

Because of the U.S. Imperial Foreign policy .

When will people grow a back bone and tell them this sit has got to STOP .

[msaherds]

Possible when its too late..wen all the nations rise against us..Do we have any allies?

[LordOrlock]

@franz909 Never. Sheeple will be sheeple. Hence the title.

[WineRage2]

Obama, are you listening?

"The initiative to stop it MUST be ours"

[andrewkornkven]

MLK makes this anti-war speech, 365 years later he dies a mysterious death. Paul Wellstone makes an anti Iraq war speech, then dies a few months later when his plane mysteriously falls out of the sky. All we ever hear about is MLK's desire for integration; but what kind of country do we have if any leader who speaks out against war can't live to see his next birthday?

[WTFaboutWTC7]

The world need someone like MLK right now!

[SimaoMarto]

@WTFaboutWTC7 Don't ask for one. Try being one.

[suemorphplus2009]

Seek to do as he said, appeal to your government, join a petition effort to end this war in Afghanistan. That's what I was and long thought of doing, and what I'm getting started at now! These wars are the result of a lack of genuine criticism from the American public.

[XtremePacifist]

The USA was and is the biggest purveyor of violence in the world. This speech is why "they" killed MLK. School Children should be educated by this " Silence is betrayal" speech more than the "I have a dream" speech. Peace

[DustyAndPistolPete]

@XtremePacifist Yes it's worse than China,Russia and Iran...yawn,join the real world.

[givebirthathome]

@XtremePacifist School curriculums are written by intellectuals. Even by Rousseau's time, he was able to say, the rulers only tolerate intellectuals who are content to add flowers to our chains. Ever heard that one in

school?

Organize a class and you can offer it to children via local homeschooling groups in your area.

[SupaGlitch]

"A time comes when silence is betrayal". The point of Education is to recognise these times when they come.

[OKCMC5]

And now we are going to have 100,000 troops in Afghanistan to catch the 100 Al Qaeda members our CIA says is there, I guess.

[SimaoMarto]

@OKCMC5 It's either that, or see more airplanes falling from the sky... Not that I'm in favour of war, but how else can the terrorists be controlled?

[suemorphplus2009]

They never will be, bin Laden's cronies are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to people who hate and use terroristic means to advance their ends. No amount of military force will end the ideology of terror, it only demonstrates and fulfills the arguments that anti-american guys regularly repeat: That America is so egocentric and brutal so as to be the evil empire of today's world.

[SimaoMarto]

You're quite right, but rather fight them there than here. (Actually Im not american, but my country, Portugal, is also threatned by terrorists, though in a much lower level)

[MrAmerica406]

why conservatives tend to support more war than peace

[suemorphplus2009]

Don't even call them conservatives or liberals, don't show them that you even buy into their pathetic advertisements that have no merit into what they actually do. These guys will do little to actually "conserve" power to states and the people. They are not "liberal" to dissent against their warmongering either. These are people who drive unjust wars, then use the retaliation from that part of the world (The Middle East) to gradually erode our rights in the name of "Security".

[kakompo]

I wonder why anyone who speaks up against war that we don't need to be fighting is branded "unpatriotic" by so called conservatives. Billions of dollars and thousands of lives lost for no reason good enough. So sad indeed.

[tkooi71]

No No No...to many others, silence is "loyalty", silence is "adaptive", silence is "security", and in Chinese, they call it "Silence is Gold","silence is wealth". So now you know...it is so difficult to bring down those at the top most of the pyramid because there're too many silencers at the middle level of the pyramid, supporting them, believe in them, and think that if they keep silence, they can slowly climb up to the top of the pyramid.

I hope your right. However, the numbers were there. It looks like they have gone back to sleep after obama was elected, It just shows that it was political and not principal. War was bad when the repubs were in charge but now that the dems are in charge war is good, and war is so good even the neo-cons love their foreign policy. Goes to show neo-con/neo-lib they are the same in so many ways. America! please snap out of the left/right paradigm.

ISLAM IS ATTACKING THE WEST

Democracies are SLOW TO ACT to a SUBVERSIVE THREAT.

INACTION on YOUR part in DEFENDING your democracy is as good as PERMITTING the SUBVERSION.

[Kohl93]

you seem to miss the point found in the quote from Mr. Burke. his father was a protestant, his mother was a catholic. 2 opposing forces in Ireland at the time. his statement was directed at the idea that promoting peace IS an action, not inaction. in British gov't he was opposed to England's stand against the French revolution. he was also opposed to Europe's "partitioning of Poland" in 1772. Burke was a man of peace. sorry.

what happened in 1913?

[pianista17mari]

The federal income tax was started... something that the founders would have never DREAMED of, for a central government to tax your income.

[freeUSmind]

also, the initiation of the federal reserve banking system. They became an extended branch of congress.

[hubristime]

No..the FED is a private bank that had absolutely no governmental authority until after the signing of the "Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008". The FED is now above the President. It has never been a part of congress.

America is now run economically by a FOREIGN private bank.
