American Dream, You have to be asleep to belive it.
George Carlin.

THIS Video has been DISABLED because of Copyright claim by Warner Music Group WMG.

I HAVE DISPUTED the Claim because i BELIEVE that this video constitutes FAIR USE for Educational purposes.

George's WORDS:

"But there's a reason. There's a reason. There's a reason for this, there's a reason education SUCKS, and it's the same reason it will never ... ever ... EVER be fixed. It's never going to get any better, don't look for it, be happy with what you've got. ... ... ... BECAUSE ... THE OWNERS, OF THIS COUNTRY, DON'T WANT THAT! ... ... I'm talking about the real owners now ... ... ... ... ... the BIG owners! ... ... ... The Wealthy ... ... ... ... ... the REAL owners! ... The big wealthy business interests that control things ... and make all the important decisions. ... ... ... ... Forget the politicians. They are irelevant. ... ... The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice . . . ... you dont. You have no choice! You have OWNERS! They OWN YOU. They own everything. They own all the important land. ... They own and control the corporations. Theyve long since bought, and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. ... They got you by the balls. ... ... They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying ... . . . lobbying, ... to get what they want . . . ... Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but Ill tell you what they dont want . . . they dont want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. ... ... They dont want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. Theyre not interested in that . . . that doesnt help them. Thats against their interests. Thats right. ... ... They dont want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table and think about how badly theyre getting FUCKED by a system that threw them overboard 30 FUCKING years ago. ... ... They dont want that! You know what they want? They want obedient workers . . . Obedient workers, people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork. ... And just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shitty jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it, and now theyre coming for your ... Social Security money. ... ... ... They want your retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street, and you know something? ... ... ... Theyll get it . . . theyll get it all from you sooner or later cause they own this FUCKING place! Its a big club, and you ain't in it! ... ... ... ... You, and I, are not in The big club. By the way, its the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long beating you over the head with their media telling you what to believe, what to think and what to buy. The table has tilted folks. The game is rigged and nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care! Good honest hard-working people . . . white collar, blue collar it doesnt matter what color shirt you have on. Good honest hard-working people continue, these are people of modest means . . . continue to elect these rich COOK SUCKERS who dont give a FUCK about you. They dont give a FUCK about you . . . ... they dont give a FUCK about you. .... .... They dont care about you at all . . . at all . . . at all, and nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care. Thats what the owners count on. The fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dick thats being jammed up their assholes everyday, because the owners of this country know the truth. Its called the American Dream, ... cause you have to be asleep to believe it . . ."

  • @LaraStarr420 I know it better then most.It is to simple to just blame the big evil rich. Longer work days? If you believe that you do not know much history.Less pay?that is Another fallacy.SS is just a huge cluster fuck.The problem is the philosophy of the government.

  • @Cogitatio023 - He was right about EVERY SINGLE FUCKIN THING HE SAID. If you dont think so, you dont know this Govt very well.

  • @LaraStarr420 He was correct on some issues,but In this instance he is not completely correct.He was great comedian probably the best.

  • @Cogitatio023 - YOU are the fuckin idiot pal. Carlin was a genius.

  • I also just want to say I fucking love wallstreet,and all the big corporations,big oil.

  • Carlin,is a funny man,but is is an idiot.

  • Obama passed the National Authorization Act. But nobody seemed to notice. Nobody seemed to care.

  • I try to wake ppl up but its useless most of thec time, oh well ata least we'll be the ones who can say "I told ya so" :/

  • WMG copyright complaints on this video. How fucking ironic.

  • @Ascendeaeus bigpharma will develop a patch, we can have transdermal nutrition.

  • @jackhammer111

    Jack - I believe your words, but perhaps you should go into the disaster with a smile. Not this ignorant, stupid one most will be wearing, but a knowing one.

    Put on your jamms, wax up your board and get ready for the wave. Kowabunga, man.

  • 18,000 hits. Meanwhile some cute ignorant girl posts a video talking about crap and it gets millions of views.

    Word to young people.

    America is going into a decline that means sooner or later your life is going to come crashing down around your ears and it will be your own fault. You're not paying attention. You don't read more than can be in a tweet and you'll be looking for someone to blame, when in fact, all you'll need is a mirror. We've tried to get your attention. It's useless.

  • @tarfin

    FUCK the WMG!!!!

    

  • Hey - SEE what he's talking about. It's real folks. It's the American Dream because you have to be F'n asleep to be in it.

    GOOGLE THIS: CAJeffO - Index.

    When you get to the index page read the following pages, CAJeffO's Letter to America, Page#1, Page#2, Page#3, Page#9, Issue #2 & Issue #20.

    If a silent majority take action it isn't too late to save all of our sorry asses.

  • Now that Obama has continued the Wall Street bailouts and appointed bankers to his administration while continuing and starting illegal wars, who will update this video to include the demons from his reign?

  • @Dunford00 so because one person is better than the other, everything isn't fun? So are you saying everyone that a 3 digit number ride, who gives up have way through the race should make 10 million year like James Bubba Stewart who wins ALLOT? So you are saying no one should work for anything? We should stop be ambitious and sit around and just have everythign handed too us?

  • @skatepunkzero it has to do with everyone, sure you can excel at whatever you want, but if everyone doesnt have a standard of living that is 1000 times better than it is now, then its no fun. there is no need to work, or to sell anything, its all here and ready for us to use properly... look up a guy named Jacque Fresco..

  • This speech is actually saved to my desktop along with George Carlin himself.

  • He knew what was up .When he was asked if he thought there should be a new investigation on 911 he said "It would be just like the Kennedy thing.They don't investigate them selves in this country" Hm.He knew the JFK scene was an inside job,so..He did a mock of our "owners"and ended it buy saying ".and we have plan's for you.Now go back to sleep" If you think the Aldus Huxley "Scientific Dictatorship" thing was shit,just wait.They are gradually lulling you to in 2 it.It started a while ago.Watch.
