***FAIR USE***
Title 17 U.S.C. Section 107

A Diran Lyons Political Remix Video: "George W Bush Battles Jesus Christ"

As part of the Political Remix Video genre that postures itself as Fair-Use in accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. Section 107, Diran Lyons' strategic juxtaposition of the aggressive rhetoric of George W Bush with significant peaceful statements offered by Christ as portrayed in Franco Zeffirelli's "Jesus of Nazareth" [1977] recontextualizes content obtained from the news media to reveal - in Nietzschean flair - a greater truth that lies behind this reconfiguration, resulting in an overall critique of neoconservative politics and its claim to theological underpinnings.

The video is a composite of different clips taken out of context in order to critique the source material and individuals represented within that media. For a developed argument on the ethical foundations for doing this, please read the essay available here:

  • I know from tedious research that every single war we have fought has never been about rights or freedom, not one. They have all been false flags or provocation. Fact.....I'm a former US Marine and I'm pissed off about this.

  • No, a rich man CANNOT be a Christian so long as there are people in the world who live in poverty. Living a simple, if not impoverished lifestyle is a central teaching in Christianity, and is mentioned in the Sermon on the Mount and repeated throughout the Gospel. Don't forget that Jesus himself renounced all worldly possessions.

  • @CaptainBeetheart there are many that have no food. Please sell your computer and buy them food.

  • Im British never interested in polictics till George w Bush became President God bless him , the thing is Bush was not controling a christian country which belived in turning the cheeck he had to take a secular decision

  • George Bush logged in 4 times and hit dislike!

  • @whippersnippingprick Please remember that while Christ requires believers to attempt to be perfect people, he also grants forgiveness when we fail to be so perfect. Likewise, we must also forgive the hypocrites among us and help them live better lives rather than shun them. If we don't, we are ultimately no better than they. Also, while I agree with your final statement, I do not live in the United States.

  • @whippersnippingprick You have no idea who I am, so please refrain from making moral judgements about me based solely on the fact that I use a computer. I said RICH, and I am nothing of the sort, nor do I desire to be. You don't have to be rich to use a computer at a library or acquire one second hand, or even buy most new netbooks. In fact, when you next need a new computer, I highly recommend getting a netbook and running linux.

  • @CaptainBeetheart Then through what computer did you post this? Your own?

    God bless America, a land where believers have the right to not practice what they preach.

  • GOOD AND REVEALING VIDEO ABOUT THE TRUTH!

  • I've seen this video over a dozen times. And it never stops being amazing. Even though Bush is no longer in the White House, the point made remains and continues to punch me in the conscience.

  • Bush = Anti-Christ
