Who is this guy? Al Gore's replacement? (reminds me of an inconvenient truth)

These are the very people who orchestrate tyranny, death, oppression, starvation, economic depression, polarization, etc...

He's trying to 'sell it' based on images and playing on people innate humble emotions, none of which he is sincere of.

Fool me once........................

This guy is such an ass hat.

People like him created those very problems he showed in those picture, the cheek!

Wow...who would have thought that the bastards would try to spread propaganda to try to bomb Iran on TED. I swear I will turn militant of the US, NATO and the UN try some bullshit for the billionth time and bomb Iran after Afghanistan, Iraq and LIbya. I am a Buddhist, but enough is enough. Some people don't get it until they are bombed themselves. I am sure the bastards have killed a million Middle Eastern people this past decade...and with the whole world watching.

Bomb Iran to save the girl!!!! Holy shit. Why hasn't anyone bombed Iran yet? I mean what's a few hundred thousand lives when a girl's been shot?

Global economic institutions = NWO Global community = NWO Gordon Brown uses Bill Clinton's way of personalizing individual examples to mask his agenda. Auwaa ! He cares for the poor starving baby so he must be good. Smoke and mirrors.

@bofors7715 Tell me about it. Almost every TED talk pushes some globalist propaganda. A recent French artist speaker began his talk with "The world's fucked, Dictator's rule countries(yeah the ones who don't tow the NWO line you mean like Gaddafi) The Polar caps are melting (No they're not, Global warming is a scam) There are no fish left (bullshit overfishing is a lie to drive up food prices) and so on. It is heartening to see people waking up.

This man is a despicable traitor and the most shit PM we have ever had by a country mile. He allowed an "Open Door" Immigration policy in order to secure more votes for Labour. We had NO say in the matter. It was enforced on us by this arrogant air-gulping gargoyle . Not to mention the complete ham shit he made of the economy. Listen to him say "Austria". What a complete plank !

[DiotheCypriot]

The one guy with good intentions and everyone is bashing him... why is the youtube community so slow?

[MrPhartiphukborlz]

A very intelligent gentleman of integrity... it was his honesty that lost him the election... so sad

[GordonTheWanker]

Brown and Blair were instrumental in bringing in the New World Order.

@largejack1000 I didn't actually look at the comments. D'oh! I based my opinion on the little bars with the thumbs up and thumbs down symbols. One was longer than the other. Flimsy, I know. I have no evidence to contradict your observation - and l definitely wouldn't want to spoil your evening! I watched a speech by Herr Brown wherein he mentioned a New World Order several times, so those who say he is a shill seem to have very good grounds for their accusations. Time will tell, I guess. Peace.
