On June 29, 1971, then US Senator Mike Gravel released a collection of top-secret documents, deemed "The Pentagon Papers," into the public record. The Papers revealed the lies and false pretenses under which the US entered the Vietnam War.

In this clip, Sen. Gravel discusses the trust the people place into government, and the faith the government withholds from the people. 37 years later, the Senator is still discussing it.

  • I love Gravel, but it is kinda funny to hear his old voice coming out of the young 70's version.

    Sign the National Initiative for Democracy!

  • Different voice, but the message is the same.

  • bush is also using nazi tactics towards the u.s. population, blaming other countrys for assaults on the usa, trying his best to brainwash the public, treating us like idiots...the founding fathers said that if the government can no longer be controlled, then we the people MUST overthrow...and in so many ways Gravel can do that, he is a healer in the time of pain...PLEASE VOTE GRAVEL!!!

  • More bass and character in his voice as he has aged
