Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Farewell Speech

[TheSupercitylover]

great vidio

[GameOver1260]

Ike blamed the industrial complex. The Complex blamed the Congress. Congress blamed Ike. And we are still going around and around, picking on little third world countries.

[LordofThegoonies]

Eisenhower tried to do alot of good for this country and the world.

Esienhower is a well respected general and president in my book.

Lots of thanks to you Eisenhower.

[ajb1776]

This warning is equal in importance to George Washington's presidential farewell warning for the U.S. to stay out of foreign entanglements.

[LeuyGeneral]

RON PAUL for President 2012!!!

[hemispheres3]

He realized as did Kennedy later that a powerful "free" government was not to be!

[dallas71]

Ah yes, the all knowing 20-something college graduates.

Yes, our governemnt, following the instructions from international banking cartels, engineered 911 and every war since WW II. How this is still missed is beyond me ... but American Idol probably has something to do with it.

[caliguy92]

lol...that was probably the ultimate sarcastic response to stupid conspiracy theorists...

[dallas71]

@caliguy92 The only "stupid conspiracy theorists" I'm aware of are those still buying into the idea that commercial pilots hop out of the cockpit (4 fucking times mind you) because of a boxcutter. A simple push on the yoak would have bounced these Arab "boogeymen" right off the ceiling for starters. Ask one before you show your amazing ignorance to the world ... or not.

[yoyocd]

@dallas71 awesome response! I am right there with you!

[hemispheres3]

Listen carefully, Ike Warns about the perils Kennedy faced and altimately led to his death!

[billyguns2]

Yes. Eisenhower was the last good president; Kennedy would have emerged as one as well had not those hired guns cut him down. R.I.P. U.S.A.

[ultradumbass]

thankfully now the beast is dead.

[1337bard]

"If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking... is freedom."

Dwight D. Eisenhower

[ultradumbass]

his prison statement is false.

what did he provide his prisoners in his deathcamps?

HMMMM?

[Dontbeanidiot01]

This speech is true. JFK says "Now my fellow Americans, don't ask what your countrycan do for you, ask only what you can do for your country." he said that because we needed people to work in factories and other things among that and he inspired many to do so with that speech. The rest of your question you need to be the judge of.

[SUNSNARE06]

and Lincoln and Washington as well

[SUNSNARE06]

one of the Presidents in American history, stands proud with Roosevelt, Truman, Reagan and Kennedy

[1337bard]

Eisenhower was an extreme opponent of the foreign as well as domestic policies of Roosevelt, Truman, and Reagan.

Your outlook on history is bleak and that of an elementary school student. To uphold such tyrants and enemies of liberty such as Lincoln, Roosevelt, Truman, and Reagan, as great presidents, you are a fool.

[SUNSNARE06]

actually I'm a political science student at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University (one of the top poli sci schools in the country) and you must be some idiotic moron who thinks that America is a tyrannical beast and that its own government caused 9/11, you are the moron here because these men kept America together and without them, there wouldnt be an America to put down, think about that

[1337bard]

I like how you called me an idiotic moron. That's like telling someone they're a gay faggot. The states of America can survive without presidents.

You're majoring in political science when you know extremely little of history. Wow I pity our future politicians, trying to follow in the footsteps of another mans shadow.

[megadrummer3]

do you think people will respect what you say with anouncing your credintials, it doesn't matter what piece of paper or nobility you come out of. if it stinks,it stinks. you can't stop learning once your out of school. I can say this because our economic system is based on something that doesn't even exist. because of this animal, we the people allowed the government to make positions which continually curtail our rights and property. .good luck getting a job.(hehehehe)

[atowersshaw]

You don't honestly think Kennedy & Truman were "great" do you?. When you actually examine the records of them, they're pretty sad.

[ultradumbass]

are you kidding me? you're telling me that eisenhower who made death camps and deliberately killed 2 million german prisoners, who assassinated patton is great?

please don't make me laugh mrs. eisenhower.

[OsamaBeenForgotten]

What a Genius! Get rid of "Private Contractors"! All of them! Let those nuts get a real job and go to work!

[goldyn12345]

was eike a good president?

[soberandsmarter]

goldyn12345- I just read your question about Ike Eisenhower, "Was he a good president?" Yes, he was! One of the best.

[Crypto7Jocko0]

How would Ike react to today's college system?

[bittergunowner12]

He'd despise it.

[w1peout88]

eisenhower masterminded the operation overlord

[zeezil]

Scotty7617 = disrespectful, classless uneducated idiot.

[Scotty7617]

zeezil, fucking moron who doesn't know how to use the reply feature, and can only throw personal insults which is usually the first sign that someone can't make a real argument.

[delablake]

he was a straight forward President and a straight general and a straight forward Texan...

[DanWelshy86]

He was a fantastic president, one of the greats along with JFK and FDR, and a fantastic orator.

[AllahizBiggest]

And a fantastic murderer of President Lumumba...

[Scotty7617]

You shut up. I'll post whatever the hell I feel like on whatever videos I feel like. You don't like it, don't read them.

Yes, he was a piece of shit. That's the whole point. He voices the opinions of the asshole war profiteers who make money from death and destruction, like what Eisenhower was warning about in this speech.

[soberandsmarter]

Scotty- Mature name, Bobby, Donnie, Billy, Skippy, Sammy. No wonder you're a peacenick pussy that doesn't understand peace through power!

[Scotty7617]

Right, I'm such a pussy because I don't believe in having cool, awesome wars to solve every problem? I know, that's dumb, who wants that?

Who would want to solve anything peacefully, the boring way, instead of with lots of death, destruction, and misery?

[soberandsmarter]

Scott- Maybe if he served tea and crumpits at a peaceful meeting they may not have sawed the head off of an American journalist (Daniel Pearl)!

[ultradumbass]

and scotty, these dumb AMERIKKKANS on youtube, say they love eisenhower, they obviously no nothing of the eisenhower death camps where he intentionally ordered his men to beat the prisoners, to not feed them etc. 2 million german prisoners died for it. so the soviets and the allies realized their war crimes, so to divert attention away from them, they made the german concentration camps seem a thousand times worse so that nobody would be bothered of soviet and allied war crimes.

[Scotty7617]

Peace through power? You mean the US government using its power to force its will on the other nations of the world? Is that supposed to bring peace? Because that's what caused 9/11.

[Scotty7617]

"War is terrible...and terribly profitable."

-Vladimir Lenin

[45jacky]

Fuck off commie pig. Lenin killed people too asshole. Look at what happen to Russia and look at Russia today. Still the same backwords shit nation.

[zed4785]

oops

[Scotty7617]

"It is part of the general pattern of misguided policy that our country is now geared to an arms economy which was bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and nurtured upon an incessant propaganda of fear."

-Douglas MacArthur

[2speakfreely]

You'd be surprised how many of us know about it, and have known about it all these years. Trouble is wealthy foreign elites in control of our central bank crook elections, buy politicians and stifle truth in media. Unless the American people are ready to rise up en masse and drive these criminals out of our midst they will continue to rob and destroy our country.

[ludachris475]

Yes, I couldn't have said it better myself.

The gullible masses are somehow strangely ignorant of the massive profitability of war.

If they knew that the Federal Reserve was a private banking cartel, which imposes a fraudulant income tax on everyone, there might be a revolution that would end the reing of these Banksters.

[topgun989cc]

the problem is that most people know

but they just dont care.

selfishness

[bubblinbrownsugar616]

Now THAT is something I couldn't have said better myself.

If gas were go up $10.00 a gallon,all I'll mostly hear is a bunch of whining but never action.

[EsotericDesi]

Shame that no one today in modern America understands what Eisenhower tried to warn us about... Had the public followed him, we'd not be in Iraq.

[Scotty7617]

"A standing army is one of the greatest mischiefs that can possibly happen."

-James Madison

[rmrm1mrmr]

Military Industrial Complex then:

military+war= money for industry

Now:

military+war=money for industry= money for congressional and presidential elections= more wars.

When war becomes profitable we will see more of it.

[nutcaseproductions01]

"The only way to win World War III is to prevent it." - Dwight Eisenhower

[Scotty7617]

"Over grown military establishments are under any form of government inauspicious to liberty, and are to be regarded as particularly hostile to republican liberty."

-George Washington

[Scotty7617]

Many people think Bush doesn't know what he's doing in Iraq. He knows EXACTLY what he's doing. Bush never intended to end the war quickly. He always meant to keep it going for a long time in order to feed the MIC. What better way to skyrocket profits for a military hardware company than with a never ending war?

[antonioandsonic13]

i use to like dwight eisenhower until i read about mamie till writin him a letter askin for help after her son emmitt was murdered in 1955 and he never responed back that bitch was racist.

[queny2]

Actually, just search youtube for Was the invasion and occupation of Iraq legal? The Iraq War: Legal or Illegal? Even quicker.

[queny2]

Pity you guys didn't head his warning. Was American occupation of Germany and Japan after WW2 legal? Yes, it was. Was the invasion and occupation of Iraq legal? Google for: The Iraq War: Legal or Illegal? Then you tell me.

[JJTecumseh87]

theodore roosvelt,dwight eisenhower best republicans ever

[Scotty7617]

Don't forget Abraham Lincoln.

[JiveDadson]

I have uploaded the entire speech for all to hear. Click on my name.

[cthulufunk]

Greatest American president of them all.

[iamthejake2000]

we have completely forgotten his warning.

[billyguns2]

Eisenhower, a former Army General, gave us eight years of peace and prosperity as well as the magnificent Interstate Highway System. How he is missed! A giant compared to the evil pygmies in charge today. This farewell message was not heeded, alas. We are in a true dark ages of military-industrial ownership coupled with religious mania and intolerance. We deserve the worst.

[leftbehind81]

Eisenhower is one of our greatest presidents.

[AmendmentTwo]

Thanks for posting this!

[shamrock32]

Scary shit but it's true. People are so uninformed today they watch Fox News, CNN, or MSNBC and take it as factual information no one wants to look research and dig a little below the surface.

[nomoreliesusa]

MSNBC is waking up - check out "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" for some real news about the torturer-in cheif.

[nickv11763]

yeah there start

[bogwarriorG]

still as far as real news goes and not just opinion american media does suck.

[AmendmentTwo]

For the people out there still engageing in the polarization of America thru the political system by the news media. I am not a Democrat or Repulican I do not like George Bush OR Hillary Clinton. The only purpose of this video is to show the threat we are facing today was seen many years ago. It is our PRESIDENTS that labeled this a conspiracy not me. Eisenhower and Kennedy both warned us of this oncoming situation. So now who is the conspiracy nut? Democrats or Repulicans?

[ShawnCastle]

They have kept us divided, politically,and otherwise to insure their lock on power. They must be laughing when the masses fight among themselves because nothing is ever accomplished, only the rich and powerful get richer and more powerful as we have seen. Answer to the problem is a bloody revolt. Comming soon, total anarchy and maybe they want that too, we can't win!

[mowriter]

This is a hell of a statement: when I see politicians reaching across the aisles, I think that the Rush's and Hannity's and Beck's are little more than short-sighted suckers, playing nonsensical political alienation games CONTRARY to the public interest.
