  • @smar99 the point of that is to get others to do it and then it'll force apple to invest in conflict free products

  • EPIC- IDIOTIC- FAIL!!!!

  • @stormtroop14 Really? Have you seen them in person? Do you think that war is a joke? Get your head out your ass and listen to what they have to say!

  • Also, it just bugs me. But, the microphone is clearly not on when Yves pretentiously taps on it. How much money was spent on this insipid hipster video instead of rehabilitating hundreds of other children?

  • Thanks for re-enabling the comments. For a while I thought you got rid of the comments to stifle any form of dissent, which is probably why you did it. Then I thought of some nerdy kid having a ethical dilemma about censoring the public, which probably happened. Glad that you chose not to give in to your baser motives (i.e. more money). Whistles go whoo!

  • I'll bet you morons gave your money to Wyclef Jean instead of a real charity, too.

  • Whistles go "Whoo whoo." It's that "whoo whoo." Meanwhile, millions die while you play revolutionary thousands of miles away in a different continent.

  • @UnchangeableBird god your retarded, i suppose your gunna ship off to the congo and make a big difference right now huh?? these guys are doing a great thing and...big shock, advertising like this is the best way to spread the word about their charity. all the people complaining about this are fucking daft, of course this isnt gunna end the damn thing, but anything helps and their doing a great thing. get your head out of your ass..

  • bunch of hipsters embracing the liberal humanitarian ethic... truth is this video was probably edited on a new mac pro in final cut. but sure, sell us your stuff, give the money to the poor.

    i wish there were true revolutionaries, not just these college kid teenagers who think they know shit about the world. yuck. sorry for the pessimism, but i just don't think your little movement has what it takes. good luck ya'll. thumbs up i guess...

  • @millamulisha I would say college students are the most likely people to change the world and succeed with such a program. College students are typically more motivated to succeed. They are also at the height in their overall knowledge. When somebody thinks they can do something and lays out a plan to do it...then the only thing that can stop them is themselves. Everybody who has succeeded will tell you, the key to success is when your down and out...you keep going towards your goal.

  • not even 40 thousand views...pointless shit like shaycarl i justine phil whoever scroe millions of views daily! where do we head poeple?! open your eyes folk. 1+1 = 2...we have to heal our wounded planet!

  • Nope

  • This video made my day :D!

  • War is a fool's game. Only a mad or crazy man would start it for power and money.

    War has no use (except for that it puts the country's people to work).

    War only brings life to an end to millions of people. How many properties, health and historical places have we lost because of war? Millions. How many innocent men , women and children have we lost over the years because of war? Billions.

    Why can't the world ever stop having wars. Just a day with peace can't do all this.

    Peace never hurt.

  • lets work on recycling first...

  • money rules and taints the world

  • contd.

    you MUST FIRST CHANGE YOUR SELF. Have you begun to realize that in your very existence you consciously usurp the very freedom these people are born with? When you come to terms with the fact you must change you self first for the effect to ever reach them. From the energy which if life, traveling along time which is momentum, history does not have to follow those on the throne of the social ladder.. WE ARE HISTORY. Stop talking about change, and DO IT.

    lifefortruth

  • Hope this message gets through to you in the 4th dimension of life...

    @toolshedjunky has half of it. I'll fill in the other.

    If you have not yet realized it: he hardest thing to do is to step back -- globalization. Which means, for you to REALLY care about what is happening, to REALLY want to change to world, to REALLY want to help those in Africa (or for the matter, anywhere that needs help)

  • Falling Whistles,.im gonna make a vid just for you guys. TronFBabyy subscribe and watch me as i take my crude humor and smartass personality to the world. =]

  • War will never end unless the whites and blacks are wiped off the earth

  • they should have atleast whistled out a tune in order for me to buy a whistle for peace. like peace music :) of whistles.. sure.

  • @lonewatchman Fuck you! You feed of labour and exports from African countries! countries in the west need to stop raping Africa from its resources, and let Africa heal! You will never be more then a simpeld minded fuckface. You are what u are!

  • Lord have mercy...

  • conflict free wont help anybody. you compare this to world war 2. no trade embargo would have stopped that war. no trade embargo will stop this one. this war, like all others, can only be solved through more war. sorry. if you want to help, join the marines. maybe if the world had enough soldiers to go over there and mount a large enough, long term peace keeping effort it'd end. for now there arent enough people to protect the innocent. go back to texting on your iphone.

  • The people commenting here must be those hipster douchebags who pretend they care but will most likely never do anything that makes a real impact for this issue.

  • @Kastaru Hey i couldn't disagree more ... however can we all at least agree the beat is real tight haha

  • PEACE????WHAT'S THAT???

  • Basicly this video says:

    "I got an idea, to stop people from dyeing in Kongo lets destroy their economy"

    Sound stupid to me.

    The only way the war will stop is by educating the people. Maybe it won't happen right away but eventualy there is one truth, Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime.

  • @atmka OMG. you are so stupid. This video doesnt tell us to destroy their economy! IT DOES TELL US TO EDUCATE THEM!!!!!!!

    CHECK THIS OUT!!! 4:21 I actually watched the video!

  • @einaza1 By educate they mean "educate" the world about whats going on in Kongo and by that they could make people agree to boycott Kongos exports. That's why there is a whistle on electronic devices in the video. That means that no minerals that are used to create the electronic device didn't came from Kongo.

    I think you need to watch the video again...

  • @atmka Instead of boycotting minerals from the Congo, we want companies to prove that the minerals they use don't fund rebels. The first step towards that is educating people so that we can influence companies and lobby for legislation.

  • @brendandanger Why do you think that it will stop the war ?

    Exept coltan ( Which is the mineral that used to make capacitors) Congo got diamonds, gold, copper, cobalt and zinc. I don't think that boycotting one mineral would have any effect on the war.

  • @atmka Why do I think that making companies account for the source of the materials in their products will have an effect? Over 50% of rebel profits from conflict minerals come from tin---twice as much as gold, and ten times that of coltan. The main use of tin is to make solder for electronics. As you said, coltan is used to make capacitors. These two minerals account for two-thirds of armed groups' revenue from conflict minerals. I think taking $120M out of their coffers will have an effect.

  • @brendandanger Where did you get this information? How do you know how much money they make and that it's two-thirds of their revenue ?

  • 30 likes war.

  • @GiiMyW make that 35

  • @ElectrikSheepz

    get a fucking life sir.

  • The UN is there, but not allowed to do anything just as they were told if they intervened in the Rwandan Genocide they would be discharged and brought under court marshal.

    Want it to stop press for the UN to allow the soldiers to actually police the situation rather than be forced to watch it. Remove the "Leaders" in the area and remove the ideology then educate the youth, and keep them away from the bad ideology of the past that lead to war. Bring real jobs to the people in the congo

  • where do you think the material is going to come from to make all those whistles !!!!!!!

  • i know the congo is a sad siutaution to say the least but if this kind of energy was used half as much on solving the dying of our own country we'd be better for it and more capable to bring a REAL solution to other places

  • Whistler societies? Is it me, or does this just seem like a thinly veiled marketing gimmick to sell a less than interesting book? If people really wanted to learn about these things, they wouldn't be shameless self-promoting hipsters, they'd just get an education and go about doing good works. Also, Africa has been doomed for millennia. How are peaceful actions over here from a small fringe group going to change anything? It's utterly arrogant and naive.

  • @UnchangeableBird It's not just about selling their product. Most of what this video is about is a plan of action. A comprehensive one.

    And you seem to be confused. Just because some makes something is well made, media-savvy, and geared towards passionate youth, does not mean that that person is a "self-promoting hipster" I don't think that anyone in this video was promoting themselves. I saw the main point of this video to be to promote awareness and action.

    This is no small group.

  • @troypeace So you're writing that there is no one benefitting from this charity personally or financially. Obviously there is. Otherwise, they wouldn't have had the money to produce this appalling episode in self-righteousness. What about the other charities who are on the ground in the Congo and have been for decades? They seem to accomplish much more than these dinguses, while the whistler society is just puffing out it's chest thousands of miles away. It's meaningless is all.

  • @UnchangeableBird You are arrogant and naive if you think your comment is true. Self-promoting? I don't once see any of these "hipsters" faces or hear any of their names. Yeah they did a great job self-promoting, let me tell you. It is called a charity. And yes, peace is possible in Africa. It is simply a matter of brave people taking matters into their own hands.

  • @UnchangeableBird soooo....what do you do?

  • @SymphonyStainedRed It is really none of your business, but I work as an industrial hygienist and environmental scientist. I also give money to more notable charities that don't try and look cool. This is obviously just a shameless marketing gimmick to snare the money of aimless middle-class twenty-somethings. It also appears to be a dating opportunity for otherwise inappropriately political young men. "Speakeasies"? Why the hell would they have to hide speaking out about the war in the Congo?

  • 24c04 57y4 1g0s8 74a0

  • *sigh*.

    Like Rambo says.... unless you're bringing weapons, you're not changing a damn thing.

  • Our own country is taking a huge a shit and we should just put this to the side so we can help a country that hasnt showed a single technological advancement ever in their history? Yup fuck that.

  • ROCFL..... SERIOUSLY???? OUR OWN COUNTRY IS BURNING IN- AND YOU ARE THIS BORED WITH YOUR TIME???- YOU BETTER LOOK AROUND AT YOUR OWN COUNTRY- GET THE BLINDERS OFF!!! WE ARE STARVING HERE AT HOME- LOOSING MORE AND MORE JOBS- CRIME IS SKY-ROCKETING- KIDS ARE LIVING IN THE STREETS WITH NO HOME- HEALTHCARE IS POISED TO ONLY GET WORSE.....AND THIS IS WHAT YOU SPEND YOUR TIME ON- GIVE ME A BREAK YOU RICH SPOLIED KIDS. GROW UP AND WORRY ABOUT OUR OWN BACK YARD.

  • Is that Godspeed you Black Emperor! mixed in?

  • As long as there's money there will be war and violence. Humans are greedy.

  • Peace is the final frontier..

    Together as one.

  • i believe that.

  • i think a multinational group needs to start a "radio free earth"

  • I love it

  • This is great! I'd like to find a way to help. But this groups website is down for whatever reason : (

  • hmmm that was kind of epic :D totally for it

  • 7t45 7avy 65170 l60 43518h

  • 1 Timothy 6:10-For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

    Keep in mind the antichrist will come claiming world peace.

    Daniel 8:25And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. 

  • When talking about politics, I could give a shit

    But when talking about PEACE, there's no bargain at all!

    Peace for ever!

  • It all comes down to politics, and politicians won't do shit.

  • POWERFUL! "Be the change you wish to see in the world" Ghandi! YES I! 

  • If history has taught us one thing... it's that slapping a fad whistle sticker on our ipod makes much more of a difference than killing the bad guys.

  • for greed there is no cure everyone should know that

  • Its impossible to have a world without war. it'll never happen. war is part of human nature, those who actually believe "world peace" can exist are completely blind to reality.

  • @Simstein77 where do you get your reality from? From History books, the media? they don't tell you about the incredible efforts of those who have lived in peace, for peace. War is a part of human nature only because the war machines need you to believe this. Read Zinn's "A People's History of the United States" even if you aren't American. See what the regular folks did that the history books neglect to tell you about. When you look for war you will find it. when you look for peace....

  • this war and peace problem should've been solved a long fucking time ago. way to go humans....

  • why the fuck do solutions have to be so poetic and romantic? are we that egotistical that helping people alone is not enough, that we have to feel like artists while doing it?

    to me sounds like a bunch of hipsters sitting around tugging each other off at the idea of them feeling like they are more than the insignificant selves they really are. i bet they still think what they are doing is selfless.

    the solutions are blunt, often brutal, they are rarely poetic, they are never idealistic.

  • congo? oh yeah, whatever...maybe when the rest of the world gets unfucked we'll think about you...by the way is there oil in the congo?

  • what the fuck is this whistle thing? some won explain to me. it just looks like another fail peace "group" that is going to give up when things for them start getting hard.

  • Congo should be recolonised by the Belgians, then there will be peace.

    It became a shithole when they left.

  • @Brezable not recolonized, but a dominion.

    Canada is a dominion, not a country. They develope their own nation, but they become a part of Belgium. To put it simply if someone threatens the Congo, the Belgians should have massive support to prevent the invading armies from taking over the country. To prevent it economically, don't buy resources from the Congo. Without money, the military has no power to control. Soldiers will disband and generals will have nothing but the clothes on their back

  • You think this is war? Wait till the Earth's limited resources start dwindling. Then you'll know what war is.

  • without war, there is no peace you retards.

  • @goblue122394 actually being without war is peace. good job looking stupid

  • @goblue122394 thats dumb. thats like saying without peace there is no war.

  • HAHA. Giving Obama the Nobel Peace Prize and he increases the troops.

  • as long as humans are self aware there can never be peace because self awareness brings emotion and one of the those is greed

  • As long as there is narrow minded money lovers in power, there will always be war and violence. The Jews tried to be peaceful and look where that got them. Violence must be met with violence and corrupt leaders must be forcefully removed from office before peace can be achieved.

  • @toolshedjunky Umm have you heard of Palestine? I wouldn't quite call that peaceful...

  • we need more people watching this video spread the word out please ladies and gents..... let us be whistle-blowers for peace

  • is it just me or is the nscreen broken or i need a new labtop

  • war is business...and business is booming.

  • Yes hippies, I'm sure when all of you stupid pothead college kids stand up and "demand" peace... The african warlord drugged up on heroin will put down his AK.

  • @usafbutters im sorry you dont care about people suffering. and thats ok. im glad you have everything you could ever want. Just remember these people have nothing. just go crawl back in your hole and continue worrying about yourself and continuing living your deadend life. then once you die all the success you have created for yourself will die with you and be forgotten. Even if this idea dies and fails, at these these people cared and tried.

  • So what has gone so wrong in western culture that the kind of atrocity that evoked mass protests a century ago now barely registers in our media & our politics? To be desensitized is to be dehumanized.

  • @usafbutters i very much i agree with you ............but you never know if it will help!!

  • this is stupid

  • @chan9922 really? im sure if one of the raped women, orphaned children or front line war victim could aford anything that could connect to the internet i'm sure, in fact almost positive that they would say this isnt stupid.

  • @donutsprinkles99 you are an ignorant coward

  • @donutsprinkles99 Your a BASTARD do you know that, have you lost some one OVER something stupid ? think before you speak!

  • the problem with peace is human beings are so much better at winning a war than a peace.

  • @1019Dan1019 If I were a big evil secret society that had the power to manipulate the whole world, I sure as hell wouldn't leave obvious symbols associated with my activity all over the place. I might leave (false) obvious symbols all over the place to distract loud idiots, though.. There are a lot of shapes one could vaguely associate with a five-pointed star.. The Chrysler logo.. The Pentagon.. The ass-end of Saturn.. Wait... does that mean the devil is in space driving a Sebring?

  • @1019Dan1019 your an idiot and ignorant. thats all i want to say. I feel sorry for you. 

  • @1019Dan1019 oh god not another one. I had hoped all these "illuminati idiots would actually go out and do something meaningful their lives like the people at Falling Whistles do. stop reading "investigative reports" from paranoid conspiracy theorists on the internet with absolutely no real evidence or credibility all day.

  • Thank you for this video

  • why is it that so many are disconnected with our other human brothers? To make jokes and light of the situation is disgusting. It is the capable's responsibility to help out those who have no voice. Its a long road but its one we must take.

  • Fuck that, how bout you fix problems here in the USA first. how about that! people looseing thier homes here. Children aint eating in the USA. Fuck a whistle! HELP HERE IN THE USA!

  • @slapaho50 saying that is just selfish. the U.S. is a developed country it has it's own resources to help its own needy. Congo has no one to speak for them, instead they are exploited by us, and yes i mean US because how else would we be typing these comments without those resources that are exploited from them. Saying help yourself before others when you are significantly better-off that that "other" is just selfish.

  • Blow my whistle

  • "So long as there are men, there will be wars." People who think there can be world peace are fucking idiots. I think we should start helping Africa out when we get out of our $13 Trillion in debt.

  • @subarublue88 haha will collapse as a empire before we eleminate our debt....

  • @rockinLuxury Someone once said the Freedom is inside us, inside of each person, not on the outside. That's where our strength comes. You could be a king and not be free, and you could be a slave in chains and be free.

  • and this video will cheat almost everyone.. if we really want to help then lets start doing something instead of buying a whislte and sit back and think they will fiqure it out. this video was clearly made for money only for them self.

  • agreed i wont buy anything that they say will support them... if i want to support them down there i will take my self down there and help them A whistle bought for money WONT HELP!

  • @XxAcknowledgexX - what a terrible analogy. and worlds? are you a scientologist? please try harder and use less words to say more.

  • @VisualVideoTruth The school this organization funds offers hundreds of Congolese children just that, hope from within their own nation. They thirst for freedom as surely as our forefathers did, and their hope is bound up in the freedom that can only come from peace. Falling Whistles is working towards that peace by raising awareness and backing a program that teaches those children trade skills, literacy, and human rights,a foundation for a free Congo.Please keep on challenging us.Take care!

  • Comment removed

  • who is free in the world today?

  • @XxAcknowledgexX: if we truly have a god that is all powerful, yet continues to let innocent suffer like this..... well, he's a piece of shit.

  • @triston Funny to blame a God... Americans have a saying: Guns don't kill people, people kill people! (Enuff words for you?) Even if there is a God, or not, it's a sign of a coward and a weak person to blame a God. No God makes abortions, rapes, steals, hits people in the face, commits crimes, ignores. We do it, you and me and the rest of the people(most of us these days). But is easier and so convenient to BLAME OTHERS, isn't it? Others, but never ourselves.
