SCANDAL: "9/11 Commissioners Bowed to Pressure to Suppress Main Motive for the 9/11 Attacks"

What Motivated the 9/11 Hijackers?

There was no justification for removing the video. I used 18 seconds of audio, with one still frame in order to comment on an extremely serious matter where the President of the United States makes another false statement.

"The 1961 Report of the Register of Copyrights on the General Revision of the U.S. Copyright Law cites examples of activities that courts have regarded as fair use,"one of these examples is "quotation of excerpts in a review or criticism for purposes of illustration or comment"

  • Let's hear a conspiracy about the government making youtube remove the "anti-Bush" Video....

  • isaacu, you are very confused. I debunk the stupid conspiracy crap, look at my other videos. And did you even watch this video, did you pay attention? I speculate in the video how it is that the video ended up being removed, and I say nothing about "conspiracy"

  • I'm behind you on the fair use, but blah blah blah.... Just find another way to get your point across... IE find aan alternate way to impose your (opinion) on the public; much like network TV news.

    Have a Nice Day

  • isaacu, you have got to be kidding me. If you believe in fair use, why the hell should I have to find another way to make my point? I am not imposing my opinion and your referance to network TV news is totally misses the point.

    network TV news gets to fair use of content all teh time, why shouldn't I?

  • Can you e-mail me what was removed??

  • the link in the video description brings you to it.

  • It seems to me that ever since Google bought YouTube, it has not been as free a forum as it once was.

    Good luck to you, representative press!

  • Simply enough, nobody can prove they have the right to use anything. Therefore everything could be illegal, and YouTube is fine with that until people start bitching.

    What we need to do is DO SOMETHING about cranks that go around trying to enforce their copyrights to ludicrous extents.. Like, stop buying their products? No that won't work, let's try violence.

  • well cuase google bought youtube has been leetting people to have free speech becuase if u ever use google you know people R doing way more free speech

  • Is YouTube unable too produce video as it is uploaded? I was given a song by Jimi Hendrix in the early 70's and he said I could have the one of my choosing. He suggested all along the watchtower but left it open. I have always respected his gift and have never made that choice because I do not believe in creating a void, and feel that the buy the MP3 pop up should be enough for the designated owner which will die and then pass on the rights, my rights? What happened too you all?

  • right there with ya, play my guitar much more now because of it. However, Istill feel like I want/need to get everyone to appreciate this outlook.

    There is one good use for our media though, if you are ever a little "irregular", just turn on Keith Odorman or Bill Oreally and within minutes ,, lol ,, you get the drift.

  • @jclemens1970 Man, I totally quit all television over a year ago and my attitude on life is totally changed.I been trying to listen to symphony music for a few minutes a day as well, and it feels good to forget about the dumb shit.

  • Nothing, I was pissed one night at our Jerry Springer media and got the bright idea that I should try and figure out a way to get a "Turn off your TVCs" campaign going.

    Just so tired of the left right conquer divide, dumbing down that msnbc and fox etc. use to keep people glued screwed and soon to be tattooed.

    I think if people could just realize how manipulated we are by the media we could make a difference. Maybe get us back together as a people.

    Wasnt that what the 60s was supposed to do?

  • @jclemens1970 So what happened?

  • The censorship of thei nternet has begun

  • TURN OFF YOUR TVS AUG 1 2009 for 2 WEEKS

    GET OUT AND GET TO KNOW YOUR NEIGHBORS

    SPREAD THE WORD

  • WOW I can not even post a comment here. Long lived the youtube we all knew and love

  • I agree with u their....
