  • I wish you wouldn't have included Mother Teresa in this. She was not the "saint" that people make her out to be. She celebrated poverty and suffering.

  • like Peter Tosh said..................

  • Michael sang this at Occupy Wall Street in NY last week. He was there with the protestors walking around with his guitar singing this! Right on!

  • Grow weed in humboldt county! I support the good fight!

  • Right ON! Brilliant video. The time is NOW.

  • I've been at #occupywallst and this song is all that I can think of.

  • Yep-  that's Amy Goodman of Democracy Now.

  • Is that Amy Goodman at 3:45? It sure looks like her.

  • No more Wars! Ron Paul: I will end all wars and bring the troops home immediately. Cool video. Much appreciated.

  • Comment removed

  • this shit fucking rulz!

  • Wow! Nice job on a great song!!!!!

  • "Ten year from now, is anybody gonna bother?" I don't know about the future, but it's getting close to five years, and everyone here still cares. That's reason enough for me to keep faith in this.

  • Power to the Peacefull...My friend was there and found Micheal Franti there. Been hooked ever sice. To this day says it was one of the best fests hes been to. Travel the highways!

  • Love it! Love it! I NEVER get tired of hearing this song! Great video. I think this needs an update to show that the Obama administration is continuing the same horrible policies of George W., Clinton, George Sr., etc. There is no democrap or repugnant party. Its a false paradigm designed to keep up divided and conquered. We need to set aside our differences and fight the real tyranny that is coming down on us like a ton 'o bricks.

  • @tinfoilcap - That's because in between the election and the inauguration, every new President gets sat down and told how it's going to be by the real powers that be, or else end up just like JFK.

  • @CmdrGendoIkari :/

    With how much cash and blood he poored into Vietnam, I'm pretty sure JFK was on good terms with the M.I.C.

  • @CmdrGendoIkari

    Then you stand up to the MAN, tell him to F@#% off, spit on his shoes, curse HIS god and make real

    CHANGE. Sad how it ruined us...or almost did because F the bullshit its time to throw down(thanks 311 for those lyrics) and take a SMALL AXE(thanks BOB Marley!) to their phatty ass tree, TYRANNY. "It ALL comes back to you, your going to get what you deserve, try and test that, your bound to get served, loves WHAT I GOT, so lets start a riot" Thanks be to Bradley J Nowell 1&ONLY!

  • @tinfoilcap well said that man! 100% agreed with everything u said... got any spare tinfoil? lol

  • At Hookahville 33, Michael came into the crowd, grabbed my camera and led everyone in a rousing version of this song. I had just ran out of tape 5 minutes earlier.

  • Great video & message! :-)

  • PEACE!

  • Never Ever Make A Deal With The Devil!!! =) PEACE!!!

  • love this song

  • awesome! thanks!

  • Peace is a great ideal. I agree with a lot of the sentiments expressed in this video. However, until the human race, as a whole, can move away from greed, corruption and general hate(Racism, Ethnic hatred, etc.), there will always be some one out there that is willing to spill blood for what someone else has. Whether it be the US, Iran, Iraq, or Al Quid a.

  • @GundamMadMan1982 Al Qaeda doesn't exactly kill for property; as far as I know, their proclaimed mission is a Jihadist one (a reactionary Islamist world view pitting Islam against the West in a sort of war of cultures). Iran is pretty quiet, and although it has seen, along with Iraq, oppressive governments in recent decades, and thus their people have suffered, you should see that the history of U.S. governments in their region is one of exploitation, and one that shows its commitment for

  • @GundamMadMan1982 using and supporting terrible means in order to secure its goals. I'm not saying that Al Qaeda and oppressive government aren't problems, but there's a nasty role the U.S. played in that region that bred some of the worst of what we've seen there. I think the U.S., in your examples, is the dominant culprit in terms of greed and willingness to inflict suffering for material gain (more specifically, oil, or, better, power), as you said. The problem, imo, is the establishment

  • @GundamMadMan1982 that we are currently subject to, and that encourages the worst of what we've seen human beings do. That establishment, we are all a part of, and very, very, few are privelaged by it. It is the post-industrial capitalist system, the global application of private property which has ravaged our planet, minds and well-being. All hatred must be overcome- racism, corruption, war, oppression and suppression are all the lowest points of humanity, tbh, but we also need to overcome

  • @GundamMadMan1982 that instrument of greed and self-destruction that we are experiencing, more and more to our outrage, I hope... We need change, I think.

  • Amazing video! Good work!! I think I was in one of those rally pictures from one of the anit war marches I attended back in 2005 in NYC!!

  • Michael Franti is the best artist of today. His lyrics are so true and brilliant. Yell Fire! is probably the best album I've ever heard.

  • legalize weed

  • How come we don't have Anti War rallies anymore? Because of Obama? Obama is just another warmonger, but one with a free pass on the left.

  • @wolverine2244 It aint Obama, ITs the people they have become to complacent

  • I had to log in just to FAVE this vid!!!! Word UP!!! Thanks!

  • These power hungry cops and soldiers will kill us.. I can't take em all out by myself

  • Hippie power!

  • Amazing song. Thumbs up to my Economic teacher to playing this song and band during class.

  • Amazing song. Just finished watching his documentary "I Know I'm Not Alone". Highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it already!

  • amazing song, stupid ass vid

  • Comment removed

  • I put this on my face book pg.. its good ok? Join us..sshannonn@hotmail.com

  • The song is great, but I now wonder how much the people like the replacement they chose for Bush. We should start by Unf,,,ing the country first. Just remember that presidential elections always come around every four years... Unless our current president dictates changes to that RIGHT too.

  • Great editing, thank you for sharing!

  • this is music

    MUSIC

  • um, freeing weed is the least of our worries

    the people need to come together and say to hell with a society that forces people apart and divides people, you know... humans coming together and taking care of the planet and the creatures and making sure there isnt a hungry mouth on the planet...

  • @chickenbiscito I don't know about it being the least of our worries...it's just systematic of all our worries...people choosing making money over people's lives, over the long term benefit of the planet/people

  • @105Mittens

    legalizing things would stop the useless war on drugs, which would also end the funding for drug dealers and gangs which would end that system all together, but thats a different issue from world peace, it would help locally, but there would still be people suffering in other places for various reasons like 1% of the entire population had more of the worlds money than the bottom 90%, that sucks, money is just evil *shrugs* im just saying how i feel on the subject, thats all

  • @chickenbiscito

    It's unlikely to stop gangs, with the exception of very localized and specialized street gangs. Most organized crime does have a heavy interest in the drug trade, but it's not their sole source of income. Legalizing would force most dealers to move legal but highly restricted or heavily legislated drugs / opiets / whatever, or at least mass amounts of quality legal stuff.There will always be a place for people who will sell that which can't be easily obtained otherwise.

  • @Zerebath its a start,im just saying that it has had positive effects for other areas,it would SERIOUSLY hurt the gangs,its a complex issue and it would take more than just one action to stop it, like i said,it would put a HUGE dent in gangs power and income and influence,which you cant argue it would completely STOP the war on drugs as in people selling/buying drugs,drug dealers would have no way to get money from trying to sell it, are you arguing against my opinion? if so idk why... :(

  • @chickenbiscito lol what did you do the athe other 9% :P

  • All six billion plus people on this planet think their opinion is the right one and everyone else is wrong... hmm...

  • But eventually, someones IS right.

  • @EvaDeLaSmiley And everyone thinks that someone is them.

  • yeah, that someone is usually me...

  • Comment removed

  • In my opinion there isnt such thing as the good guys or the bad guys. It just isn't that simple.

    Everywhere in this world there are people who put greed above all, every power in this world commited horrors on innocent people who value live and peace above war and death.

  • lol, so many people argue on a video about peace, lol

    humans are so ironically stupid

    but thats why we love you ;)

  • Thank you Brooke!

  • @chickenbiscito "You humans, sometimes it amazes me how you've made it this far" - K-PAX :]

  • @chickenbiscito you love humans... wtf mate... you iz aliens? dam - vegans seems to e accessing utube to post comments

  • TYT is Wrong! There are liberal Americans who like Mao and Che!

  • i need that unfuck the world shirt..

  • Awesome vid. Beautifully crafted. Thank you for creating and posting it. -- Stay Human --

  • @scotchsolace: I'm praying for you.

  • Yell FIRE.........Obama is a Liar!

  • Did it take you a year to figure that one out?

  • Why do you people hate the millitary and the good people who die to give you free speech?

  • its not the military people hate its the people calling the shots soilders dont decided where they go who they fight theres a man a desk in a suit calling the shot and when you have people in that postion who put profit before people not only is it immoral but its not healthy to democracy, our government is not set up to be a specter sport and with the way things have been going the last couple of years its time for the people to start telling those in power that its our say not theirs

  • Put in more comas. So what do we do about bad guys who want to kill us because we are free? What should we have done about Hitler and his mass killing of Jews? We couldnt just give him some flowers and tell him to stop the war and killing.

  • That was the only time war was the right course. Hitler wanted to conquer the world and after he was done with Europe and Great Britain he would have come after us next and then even we wouldn't have been powerful enough to stop them. However the Arabs had no such plans, Alqeda only attacked us to get even for the decades of outright lies and broken promises and Sadam didn't do anything to us. Alqeda and Sadam are polar opposites and hate each other and they certainly weren't working together.

  • NO ONE WANTED TO FIGHT THE AXIS!

    The Evil Japanese Empire and the Nazi Epmire were feared and underestimated by the world. Just like the bad guys today. Ever heard of Nevil Chamberlain?

  • Alqueda didnt attack America. Re-investigate 9-11

  • @Bigmak48 its kida funny cause we saved there asses 2 times that i know of

  • And what about Iran and them hanging people in the streets for being gay?

  • dont like america? move, may i suggest a better place. Nowhere.

  • @SAB9697 never said i dont like america but its a country for the people by the people and if the people of this country sit idle whats to stop us from losing freedom? democracy is not a sectors sport

  • True but democracy isnt sport, its war.

  • war is the sport of kings as well as business man and that has nothing to do with democracy, if they where the same than every country in this world who has a government would be at war with another one and thats not true, alot of "free" countries arnt fighting with other ones and this war were in the way the describe the enemy its more like cops and robbers expecpt that not one is gaining anything but pine boxes

  • War is sport. Democracy is government, one kind of government, and not one found in the USA, or even North America at this point

  • @BigUglyBear you are so right! Have you ever heard the latin phrase, "Panein et Cerces?" It means, "Bread and Circuses," meaning that if you keep a populace, like Americans, well feed and entertained they will lie on their backs and let you do whatever you want to them. You can take away their freedom and just like Americans in the last ten years they will just sit there and take it. This entire country is totally unfree unless your wealthy or a big corporation. We've traded away our freedom!

  • You're obviously an American. An ignorant fuck that forgot there are other developed nations out there! Ever been to New Zealand, Australia, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, etc? They're all better by far; both their governments and their people. Most americans are so ignorant and blind; most don't even think there is a world outside the US. Look at other countries governments you'll see that they exist to protect and help their people; not just to line their own pockets with gold.

  • Im south african and ive been to all except canada

  • @SAB9697 Right on my man. In the words of Mark Twain, "Travel is fatal to both prejudice and bigotry." So keep on traveling and remember there are other ways to live out there and in the words of Ben Harper, "If you're causing no harm then you're all right with me."

  • @SAB9697 i can name 50... dont be blind foo.

  • I prefer the attitude, don't like the United States of America, try and help change it, course politics doesn't seem to work for that right now. Lastly, somewhere better is subjective, so I'm glad you've found your place in the world.

  • @BigUglyBear Please don't get me wrong, I'm an American too, but being an Air Force Brat, I've been lucky enough to see that there are other peoples out there with different ideals and beliefs. I love America with all my heart but I also know that we are the real problem. Even poor people like me live a standard of living that is so superfluously decadent and wholly unnecessary. We Americans, myself included, consume over 90% of the worlds resources just so we can live so comfortably.

  • you sound like a smart guy

  • i like your way of thinking and openminded-ness. you seem like the kind of person i could smoke a joint with and have an intellegent conversation with. except im only fourteen so i dont know shit about politics.

  • Hey bro were did you get the picture on your you tube page of the soldiers painting over the peace sign? I got to get a copy.

  • I love the military. I grew up an air-force brat. Someone made a comment about Hitler and WW II, that was the last time war was the only right option. Now days it just seems that the only reason we went to war was either for vengeance (i.e. Afganistan) or for George Bush and Dick Cheny and their cohorts in Haliburton to line their pockets with oil money. In other words there is nothing wrong with defending freedom when freedom is actually at stake and not greed or a desire for retribution.

  • kinda harsh....but yeah lol

  • is that a soviet flag, that red one flying around at 0:12?

  • no needles, it's a peace flag.

  • Rescue Me Theme Song

  • Not exactly. The theme song for the show is "Cmon Cmon" by the Von Bondies. This was used in a promo commercial for Season 5. Great show, and both are great songs! They pick some great music for the show don't they?

  • they really do, my music library has expanded considerably ever since I started watching that show a few months ago.

  • 1 LOVE

    ADBUSTERS magazine..do a search online..

  • this is my new theme song for real

  • world peace

  • Greedy people, on their own, cannot damage you.

    Stupid people buying houses that they can't afford cannot damage you.

    A neighbor fighting with another neighbor cannot damage you.

    The State, the government, granting privileges to the greedy can damage you.

    The State developing policies that encourage banks to let people borrow more than they should and guaranteeing the debt with taxpayer money can damage you.

    The State fighting with another State damages you through taxes and conscription.

    Love

  • paYce

  • so whose at fault? youre only blaming the banks and the state..no one is innocent, if you know you cant afford a house or pay back a loan, dont take it! umm, and your last line is false, the United States Military does not conscript.

  • lololol unfuck the world

  • great stuff....

  • fucking hippies

  • open your eyes and get above the ignorance your are being drowned by

  • OMG we r fucked no matter wat so y stop war it is speeding up the inevitable =P

  • and no one ever asked what is the inevitable according to ur viewpoint.. they just gave u thumbs down.. well im gonna ask...

    what is the inevitable?

  • pretty much just death of man kind through war and such.

  • we dont necesarilly have to die.. we are gonna if we dont open our eyes for real.. not just celebrating songs like this.. humanity is not only stopping wars.. is opening up to other being.. and accepting them cause as the matter&energy we are, we are all connected to everything..

  • Fuck politics. Love music.

  • JAIL FOR BUSH AND ALL HIS GANG!

    For the 5000 soldiers plus 1.000.000 (plus) Iraqis. For the complete disaster of the World Economy, for spying is Americans. For destrying this Country! Jail for them!

  • that whole cut taxes for the rich and let big business take advantage of the working class didnt contribute to the whole situation did it?

  • yeah, i'm sure taking a crapload of money from those companies is gonna make them see the error of their ways and make them give what they have left to their employees, or just pay them less.........

  • No...and now the rich companies need bailouts. How exactly is it wrong to lower taxes on companies that employ americans (2nd highest corporate taxes on the planet), but ok to bail them out when they're going under?

  • rich companies need to file for bankrupcy

  • Ha, you dumb shithole. It was Bush's fault, because he made it LEGAL for Americans to buy homes without the money!

  • Actually it was the Clinton Administration that put pressure on Fannie Mae to make the loans. Bush has his faults, but this is not one of them.

  • Only if we can throw Obama in with him for spending 5 times as much in his first 2 months.

  • lol stump jumping jethrow says housing spending plunged the economy into the detrimental state its in now LOL YOU FUCKING IDIOT stop listening to all the bullshit propagnada you are being spoon fed
