Empire Falls from The American Ruling Class!

A call to restore the Republic and dismantle the Empire from "The American Ruling Class", a dramatic-documentary-musical starring Lewis Lapham.

To purchase American Ruling Class on DVD, please visit http://www.alivemindmedia.com/films/the-american-ruling-class/



Lapham edited Harper's Magazine for over twenty years and is currently the editor of the new history journal Lapham's Quarterly.

In this "alternate ending" to the film, a recent Yale grad is gently hectored into joining the cause of human emancipation and coming to the rescue of an endangered ideal: democracy in America.

Words and music by Lucas Revolution, produced by Libby Handros, directed by John Kirby. The tremendously talented kids are from the musical theater program TADA! in New York City. And yes, that's the great Pete Seeger in the beginning of the clip; there's much more from him in the body of the film.

this is wonderful

I must have watched this part like 20 times. It renews my faith in humanity and the possibility of a future that's more than "same sh-t, new century".

My favorite part is the scene where the two-faced/two-partied politician faces the camera. It's true! Is a "lesser of two evils" even an actual choice?

@njiuma There is no continent or country named 'America'. We are a group of independent sovereign state republics banding together to form the United States. If you are awake, then stop using their 235 years worth of New World Order Brainwashing Terminology when the inbred British Monarchy that controls our monetary system to this day sent us to The Americas, to The New World to set up their New World Order.

I am a Real US Citizen, not a Good American, like Hugo Chavez.

@njiuma There is no continent or country named America. We are a group of independent sovereign republics making up these United States. Watch UNGRIP on YOUtube.

@verbalmilitia - the filmmaker's website says that they are seeking to restore American Sovereignty; something Ron Paul seeks to do as well. I am indeed familiar with the CFR, Tri-Lateral Commission & Bilderberg Group and their New World Order doctrine.

@njiuma Research and study The Council on Foreign Relations and their openly stated goals at cfr. org and you will understand what I am saying is true.

@verbalmilitia - "The song and the film is about World Government,..." - i don't think so. if anything, it seems like either a cynical mockery of those of us who wish to stand against the hidden empire behind the US and the Fed; or a message that we can indeed stand against the status quo by opposing the government and bankers with a Libertarian return to the Constitution, Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence.

[njiuma]

I agree with the message, but I wonder if it's actually a cynical mockery of those of us who believe in Libertarian freedom. This wasn't in the Netflix Instant Play version, it had a downer, abrupt ending.

It's still there-- don't know why the netflix version doesn't have it... you can get it from AliveMind, which would help the filmmakers out a lot!

Why is this scene chopped out of the Netlix instant play version? It's an important part of the film- also the ending of the film is now too abrupt. I would like to buy the movie, but not if this is no longer in it.
