And I firmly believe the way to do that is with a strong military, and supporting our military. A strong intelligence service, and supporting our intelligence services. Its having a Patriot Act, and electronic surveillance. And intensive questioning, not torture, but intensive questioning. Things that have us on offense. And the Democrats want to take a step back in many of those areas. I think that would be a big mistake. </p> <p>LABEL: RG IA 12-29 (GR#40) CFIK clipA</p> <p>If youd like to acquire a high res version of this clip, VISIT: <br />https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/4ve8p3zf6s</p> <p>To download this entire event, VISIT: <br />https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/d5fdgdjxm1</p> </div> <a href="/blog/63001-rudy-giuliani-meet-and-greet-12-29-07">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/62786-end-of-america-movie-watch-this-first 2008-12-01T18:56:27Z I Want Democracy Now <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/0X3KSvczg10&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/0X3KSvczg10&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/62786-end-of-america-movie-watch-this-first"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/78465" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>then go here</p> <p>http://www.snagfilms.com/films/title/the_end_of_america/</p> </div> <a href="/blog/62786-end-of-america-movie-watch-this-first">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/62785-end-of-america-movie-watch-this-first-pt-2 2008-12-01T18:56:27Z I Want Democracy Now <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/RTN5QLi9uuE&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/RTN5QLi9uuE&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/62785-end-of-america-movie-watch-this-first-pt-2"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/78464" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>then go here</p> <p>http://www.snagfilms.com/films/title/the_end_of_america/</p> </div> <a href="/blog/62785-end-of-america-movie-watch-this-first-pt-2">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/62235-rudy-giuliani-town-hall-11-30-07 2008-11-12T14:52:51Z IssueAlliance <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/iySv8zGRuV0&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/iySv8zGRuV0&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/62235-rudy-giuliani-town-hall-11-30-07"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/77522" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Rudy Giuliani <br />Town Hall <br />Boca Raton, FL 11/30/07</p> <p>TRANSCRIPT: <br />RUDY GIULIANI: I look at it as we must be on offense against terrorist in their war against us, and I think that the other side looks at it as you have to be on defense.

The Toledo, Ohio man has been in the spotlight for the McCain-Palin campaign and rallies some of the undecideds in this election. The campaign has been using him as a tool in making the case against the Obama-Biden ticket. The use of Joe The Plumber is to paint Senator Barack Obama as a "tax-and-spend liberal", "Marxist" or "Socialist". Many progressives are discrediting The Plumber by pointing out his income, his family life and interviews on Fox News as a reason to denounce the centerpiece of the final run to this election.</p> <p>The Associated Press, The Drudge Report and Fox News release information on Zeituni Onyango, the distant aunt of Senator Barack Obama being in affordable housing in Boston. The icing on the cake was the fact this woman is an illegal immigrant. </p> <p>Conservatives are hailing this story as the nail in the coffin for Senator Barack Obama. Dr. Jerome Corsi, a controversial author has been speculating this for some time now. The information that was leaked to the Associated Press has also got the Obama Campaign angry at the notion that Senator Barack Obama had known about the situation with this woman. Senator Obama barely know the Kenyan father's many siblings let alone knew of one living in Boston, Massachusetts. And this also may lead into an investigation into who leaked out the information to the press. Immigration and Customs Enforcement regulate the information. The United States Justice Department is also looking into the matter. The Obama Campaign notes that this story within the last few days of this general election smells more like a "political hit job" and "pretty suspicious" of the timing.</p> <p>The very reason why I made this video is the invasion of privacy in order to create mudslinging, phony outrage, and dishonorable acts. This goes to both campaigns and those who are responsible for peeping into the information of Joe The Plumber and Aunt Zeituni.</p> <p>Both acts are reprehensible and strongly condemned. The Department of Justice should look into who leaked the information of both:</p> <p>Joe The Plumber and Aunt Zeituni!</p> <p>For the Ron Paul supporters still here, yeah, The Patriot Act was bonk!</p> <p>Both presidential candidates supported the bill! Both should offer more disappointments if one should walk out the winner!</p> <p>VOTE EARLY - VOTE NOW!

CPS has come to believe they are above the law and the Constitution, that they do not need a search warrant to come into your home, label you as a child abuser for any reason and make you a criminal based upon their opinion alone, take your children away in a paddy wagon, and put your kids into foster homes pending a court hearing where CPS will try their best to win and permanently take custody of your kids. If CPS loses, they will continue to fight you, slandering your family and listing you as a child abuser in government databases. CPS is an abusive government agency spiraling completely out of control. It&#39;s time to shut them down. The unlawful removal of 468 children from the FLDS ranch in west Texas, has put CPS under the microscope. That case has led others to wonder if they can do that to FLDS children, can CPS do that to my children? CBS 42 investigative reporter, Nancy Wilson, shows us one family who says the same thing happened to them, and eight years later they are still trying to clear their names. This is the Gates family, Gary and Melissa have 13 children, 11 of them adopted. They saw a need for kids from a variety of backgrounds who need love in a stable home. Imagine their surprise when 11 government employees, 6 police officers and 5 CPS workers, showed up on their doorstep. The school called CPS when they discovered that the Gates pinned a baggy with food wrappers inside the shirt of one of the kids that was caught stealing. It included a two page explanation and who to call if there were questions. The school did make a phone call, to CPS. Gates was shocked to find CPS workers in his home uninvited, especially when CPS refused to leave. &quot;How can you take 13 kids? That opened my eyes to a whole new way of government.&quot; - Gary Gates CPS &amp; Police completely ignored the 4th Amendment Constitutional rights of Americans, entered the Gates home, and took away all 13 of their children, without a court order, after a mere phone call. This is a very similar situation to the FLDS raid, except that the phone call that Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (CPS) used to kidnap the FLDS children was a hoax. Later in court, the reason CPS gave for taking the Gate&#39;s children was that CPS felt that Mr. Gates was uncooperative with them taking away his children, and his unwillingness to cooperate put the children at risk. Fortunately, the judge ordered the children returned immediately. An independent psychologist conducted his own review and wrote a glowing report, saying, &quot;I&#39;ve never said this about anyone I have evaluated: I admire the Gates, I would not hesitate to place my own children in their care.&quot; However, even though the judge ordered the case dismissed, and the independent review was praiseworthy, CPS did not care. CPS called the praiseworthy review disappointing and continued to fight the Gates anyway, listing them in the state&#39;s central registry as child abusers. Even though the Gates were innocent, CPS claims that because their opinion is that the the father emotionally emotionally abused one child by punishing him, and since all the kids saw it, that equals 13 counts of abuse. And, because the wife did not stop it, that equals another 13 counts of abuse for a grand total of 26 counts of child abuse. The Gates were never charged with any crime, they are guilty based solely on the opinion of CPS. The Gates have spent the past 8 years and $175,000 trying to get their names removed from the child abuser registry after CPS unjustly listed them. CPS&#39; unlawful and massive FLDS raid of the polygamist community&#39;s children may actually result in more Americans becoming aware of these abuses within CPS and the government. U.S. politicians, such as Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, George Bush, Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, do not represent any true change for 2008 elections or US government. One of the few congressmen consistently standing up for and voting for the Constitution, the rights of the people, and liberty, is Republican Congressman Ron Paul. If you don&#39;t know who he is, take some time to watch some of his videos on YouTube, or read his book The Revolution, you just may be amazed like the rest of us. It&#39;s time to take America back and live by the Constitution, before it collapses as a bankrupt empire.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/60051-child-protective-services-cps-police-abuse-constitution-invading-homes-kidnapping-children-ignoring-courts-and-criminalizing-americans-polygamist-flds-raid-sheds-light-on-more-cases">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/59752-naomi-klein-on-the-bailout-an-economic-patriot-act 2008-11-20T10:56:21Z FORAtv <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cZuudiE2cAg&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cZuudiE2cAg&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/59752-naomi-klein-on-the-bailout-an-economic-patriot-act"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/73614" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Complete video at: <a href="http://fora.tv/2008/10/16/Naomi_Klein_Disaster_Capitalism">fora.tv</a> </p> <p>Liberal journalist, author and filmmaker Naomi Klein criticizes the government's October 2008 "bailout" of the U.S. financial system, describing the bill as an economic version of the post-9/11 Patriot Act.</p> <p>-----</p> <p>From the devastation of Hurricane Katrina to the unending war in Iraq, award-winning journalist and New York Times bestselling author Klein chronicles the rise of free-market policies and how they have been used to capitalize on disaster.</p> <p>Are the communities that have been struck by tragedy being manipulated by our current politics and economics for profitable gain?</p> <p>Klein challenges the ideology of the free market revolution and argues that it is not a peaceful global movement - The Commonwealth Club of California</p> <p>Naomi Klein is an award-winning journalist, author, and filmmaker.

Get involved in this campaign by demanding that press intimidation cease immediately, and that all charges be dropped. Take action at: https://secure.freepress.net/site/Advocacy?id=281 ~~~~~~~~~ This police brutality is far from new. What is new is the fact, due to technology such actions by &quot;law enforcers&quot; are captured on tape by average citizens. So, no matter how loud those in charge shout THESE ARRESTS WERE WARRANTED... same ole&#39;, same ole&#39;s... A video can be whipped out to prove otherwise... If only this technology had been available to the public, during the rise of Hitler, the inhuman memories of what took place during those dark times in human history, would perhaps, not have occurred...

And uhh, of course, as I've pointed out, the war in Iraq has not been perfectly managed. We did a great job knocking down Saddam Hussein and his military. But then after that we were under-prepared and under-planned, under-staffed; The President has pointed out those weaknesses. Tony Blair has. <br />There is no question we were not perfectly managed. Although today we are making great progress with the surge, and its working. And we're helping the Sunnis reject Al Qaeda amongst them. And that being said, by the way, I must admit I was shocked to pick up the paper and read . . . actually I didn't pick up the paper, I got on the internet. Sorry guys in the newspaper business, I don't get the paper like I used to, I got on the computer and I'm reading the news on the internet. But one of my fellow Republicans said that this administration, he accused this administration of an 'arrogant Bunker mentality.' And I had to look again, did this come from Barack Obama? Or from Hillary Clinton? Did it come from John Edwards? No, it was one of our own, it was Governor Huckabee. He said [the]'Bush administration is guilty of an arrogant bunker mentality that's been counterproductive here and abroad. I simply can't believe that. I can't believe he'd say that. I'm afraid he's running for the wrong party. <br />The truth of the matter is, this president has kept us safe these last six years. And that has not been easy to do. He went to Afghanistan and knocked down the Taliban there, and took out Al Qaeda's safe haven from which they could launch attacks against us. Instead of just listening to what happened around the world, in places like Iraq and taking one shot after another. You know, we got hit at the USS Cole, Cobar Towers was hit, our embassies in Africa were hit. One time after another we were hit with no response, other than negotiating. This president finally said we are doing something about it. And responded aggressively, as he should have. <br />And here at home he made sure we passed the PATRIOT Act, so we could find out what the bad guys were planning on doing to us. And he also made sure that when Al Qaeda was calling, someone was listening. And when we captured a terrorist, we interrogated them. And you know the story about Kahild Shiek Mohammed, he's the so-called mastermind of the 9/11 tragedy. When he was captured, he said 'I'll see you in New York with my lawyer.' Can you imagine? I'm sure he was thinking an ACLU lawyer would be provided at government expense. That's not what happened. Instead, he saw GIs and CIA interrogators in Guantanamo, just like it ought to be. <br />And so, I'm, yeah go ahead, that's fine [applause] thank you. And so I'm of the view to say thank you to the president for keeping us safe these last six years. And I'm the last person to say that this administration is subject to an 'arrogant bunker mentality' counterproductive here and abroad.'

He said I'm questioning his patriotism. Let me be very clear: I am not questioning his patriotism. I am questioning his judgment. I am questioning his judgment. Senator Obama's made it clear he values withdrawal from Iraq above victory in Iraq. Even today, with victory in sight, over and over again he's advocated unconditional withdrawal, regardless of the facts on the ground and he voted against funding for troops in combat after he said it would be wrong to do so. He's made these decisions not because he doesn't love America, but because he doesn't think it matters whether America wins of loses. I'm going to end this war and I'm going to bring them home with honor and victory, leaving Iraq secured as a democratic ally in the Arab heartland. That's what I'm going to do.</p> <p>JM NM 08-20 (EW#15) CRKD - ClipE- LS</p> </div> <a href="/blog/49594-john-mccain-town-hall-08-20-08">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/46993-former-senator-mike-gravel-celebrates-pentagon-chief-robert-gates 2008-10-29T09:39:58Z rattansifan <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8aQl3s4bKIE&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8aQl3s4bKIE&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/46993-former-senator-mike-gravel-celebrates-pentagon-chief-robert-gates"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/55562" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Afshin Rattansi in Tehran interviews former 2008 Presidential candidate and senator for Alaska about congressional approval of General Petraeus at CENTCOM, Admiral Fallon's strategy, Maliki's opposition to SOFA, more news of atrocities committed by Odierno's troops in Fallujah and Karl Rove's contempt of Congress.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/46993-former-senator-mike-gravel-celebrates-pentagon-chief-robert-gates">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/45186-tim-mcmullen-s-the-burning-bush 2008-11-03T21:06:56Z Tim McMullen <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/GA_n3lH1CXo&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/GA_n3lH1CXo&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/45186-tim-mcmullen-s-the-burning-bush"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/thumbnail_pic/52066" style="border: solid 1px black; margin-right: 7px; margin-top: 3px;" align="left" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>The Burning Bush <br /> (A Song of Praise for Unrepentant Arrogance) <br />although it does not, as yet, have a tune...</p> <p>I have seen the burning Bush <br />Reflecting the light of God <br />He blazed away in the light of day <br />But the words seemed rather odd</p> <p>('Cuz he said) "If I suspect in days to come <br />That you might wish me ill, <br />From my fear alone God does condone <br />My authority to kill… <br />You and anyone who looks like you <br />And your children's children's children if I could <br />Unto the tenth generation of them that hate me!" <br />And the Bush saw it was good, <br />Then he put on his white hood….</p> <p>"Why, they deserve elimination <br />They are an abomination… <br />Abombination here, Abombination there, <br />Ah (I) bomb a nation everywhere. <br />Here a nation, there a nation, <br />Everywhere I bomb a nation!"</p> <p>I have heard the Burning Bush <br />Pronouncing impending doom <br />For birds and bees and the forests for the trees <br />The earth one blooming tomb. <br />And science?

The partial spoken recitation of this song received the most angry and vitriolic comments of any of my videos on YouTube. Let's see how the full song is received. As I said to several of my detractors, Google Grenada and you will find that most historical accounts acknowledge Reagan's invasion of Grenada as a "wag the dog" attempt to deflect his deadly failure in Lebanon by waging war under false pretenses. This little excursion really was the dress rehearsal for the attacks on Noriega in Panama by Bush One and Saddam Hussein in Iraq by both Bushes. It's important to remember that both Noriega and Hussein were clients of American presidents, "friends" of Reagan, Bush, Rumsfeld, & Cheney! The Marxist revolution in Grenada was a natural target as an extension of the Reagan fueled Contra wars in Nicaragua and El Salvador—just the kind of mixing in neighbor's politics that was used as an excuse to attack Saddam.</p> <p>Give Us A Hand, Grenada</p> <p>Give us a hand, Grenada—We saved your land, Grenada; <br />We took command, Grenada, and showed you your place! <br />What you had planned, Grenada, had to be banned, Grenada; <br />We gave you a hand, Grenada, that blew up in your face.</p> <p>It's a valuable lesson, our Grenadian Friends, <br />And one that you needed to learn: <br /> If you get into trouble, we come on the double <br /> To reduce you to rubble—we're the "one-way" to turn.</p> <p>But you just wouldn't listen, our Grenadian Friends, <br />In spite of the danger you faced: <br /> For a peasant revolt's not a pleasant revolt, <br /> So your present revolt's been completely erased.</p> <p>You broke the rule, Grenada—You were a fool, Grenada; <br />A Cuban tool, Grenada (An airstrip... "for tourists," indeed)! <br />But now it's cool, Grenada; tourists will drool, Grenada; <br />You'll be a jewel, Grenada—We'll fund the airstrip... <br />It's just what you need!</p> <p>You murdered your leader, our Grenadian friends, <br />So your choice has been taken away: <br /> We've killed five of our own, so we'll help you atone <br /> By creating a clone who will see things our way!</p> <p>Give us a hand, Grenada—we saved your land, Grenada; <br />We took command, Grenada, and showed you your place! <br />What you had planned, Grenada, had to be banned, Grenada. <br />We gave you a hand, Grenada, that blew up in your face. </p> <p>©1982 Tim McMullen All Rights Reserved</p> </div> <a href="/blog/45146-tim-mcmullen-s-give-us-a-hand-grenada">Watch the video</a>
