Wow. Sitting here reading the comment threads below. How pathetic. How can you watch this and then hold on to any partisan ideology whatsoever? This isn't about Donkey's vs. Elephants. This is about our survival as a nation - and it is a brilliant and desperate, trans-partisan rallying cry for subversive dissent and constructive evolution - for our own enlightened self-interest.

If I were a person in big govt or big money, and I wanted a citizenry too passive to revolt, I might want to indoctrinate every child for half of their waking childhood hours, and I'd want to drug any that were not passive enough to sit still and do what they were told. Then I'd want to train all of the adults to spend all of their leisure time in front of amusing "programming" created by big govt and big money, and I'd want to drug any that found any of this to be depressing. Oh, wait.

For me, they can do what they want. But at the end, they'll face the consequences.

WHo better to influence law making than the successful? Or would you rather put the power of law making in the hands to those who can't even support themselves. It seems the recipients of welfare would rather vote in people who will keep the free cash flowing than to vote in those who would create a business environment better suitd for growth. In other words, it is better to borrow the country into oblivion to pay for handouts than it is to create taxable wealth that would balance the budget.

I don't believe the country is multicultural. White Anglo-Saxon Protestantism holds the most power and it's the form which the so-called Tea Party and the Radical Religious Right holds as the ideal. It will have to be crushed at some point or perhaps it will collapse upon itself.

The secret war that is being waged is not a left vs. right battle. This is an illusion, much like professional wrestling i.e. good-cop - bad-cop Because, both parties have long- since been co-opted by "Global Collectivists".
The true battle is: "Collectivism vs. Individualism". We are being covertly led to embrace the tenants of Collectivism in America to vulcanize our society to a Socialist/Fabinist/Corporatist control-grid where ALL power and control is promulgated by the ruling elite.

Terrific video. But how will this ever come about in America? We are now a multicultural nation, and most people from most cultures aren't interested in these kinds of topics. Non-whites, especially, do not avail themselves of these ideas. Blacks particularly are just not interested. Indeed, we have lost this Republic to corrupt pols and insidious fat cats, but i think it is impossible now to return to our constitutional republican roots. The masses have changed and they are not up to the task!

The speaker wants Congress to be "dependent on the people"--and yet he lauds FDR? This guy schemed for years, illegally, against the American people to get them into World War II, finally ALLOWING the Japanese a free hand to bomb Pearl Harbor--just as all the fishy business on 9/11 gave Bush his excuse to attack Afghanistan. But of course, WWII was a 'just war' that 'democracy' 'won'--by, e.g., handing all of Eastern Europe over to the Soviet Union! This talk propagates a false mythology.
