Hey if I want to use this footage for a school project, do I need your permission/what should I cite it as? Thanks

Most of this came off an old VCR tape from a dusty box in long storage. But the odd clip is out there in news clips and documentry clips. It is getting harder to find. But also try the public library. They often have Audio-Visual stuff too (and are too often neglected).

[WolfEchoes]

So I guess it is ok to use it... "publicly available media".

[TakeBackAmerica2012]

Why can't we hear the crowd instead of this stupid jazz music!

[WolfEchoes]

YouTube took the old music away, this was one of their replacements.

Vid clips had no sound originally...

Bottom line, folks, is that it's all about the Bottom Line. Cold War ended; no more need for all those weapons systems. So what's a poor military-industrial complex to do? Answer: Invent a new enemy. Sure bin Laden exists, but the threat of terrorism is so totally overblown by the media it's got us all looking for bin Laden under our beds. But it certainly is good for business. Just ask Halliburton Corp. They're bin Laden's biggest fan and he's their biggest money maker.

Check it out...Bin Laden isn't even on the FBI's most wanted list. It was all a bogus "New Pearl Harbor" to get people to believe in "ghosts" so they'd be afraid...sure...enter the Homeland Security, Patriot Act, yada yada lies. Now they poison our skies with Chemtrails, water with Flouride, food with GMO's and now they want to inject us with a vaccine made from infected monkeys flesh...Wake up people

Your correct, it was the high point. I was there in 1969, and got gassed by the Government. I was a student-anti War Hippie and was about to be inducted by the Army to go fight the crazy war. So I went underground and Joined the US Navy.  Figured as a Medic, that I might help stop the bleeding........
