    It wasn't bad.

    I think more than anything you went from making a good investigative journalistic piece (despite using inbred American citizens with low IQ who clearly know zip about the questions you asked them) to something that was on the same level as their childishness (with your karate kid act).

    That whole "dance" at the end was really weird and just made you look like the pillock. If anything it worked against this piece of work...

    You went from provoking a reaction by means of filming to being removed from a presentation because you were acting the twit.

    P.S. Go look up the word pillock, it has a really great meaning and history behind the phrase.

    I agree. I thought we were watching a good mini-documentary, but then you started dancing and discredited the first part.
  • Zack 2 years ago
    Agreed. It was very effective until the end, until the dancing. It's like the street performers who show up to protest nearly everything (billionaires for Bush), who add nothing to the debate and only exist to provide mockery.

    Also, I wonder what College Democrats would do to a Republican muckracker who tried to do the same thing. I would guess the response would be much worse, somewhat akin to the response that conservative commentators get when they visit college campuses. I'm thinking of the pies thrown at Coulter and Buchanan, and the violence at Columbia University recently. I don't think that being escorted from the premises for disrupting an event is an indictment of the organization.

    It's actually more of an old British slang for calling someone a twit or a fool. And it isn't just calling someone a penis - it is a small penis.

    No idea about the Norweigan for "Vong utan fjong"! But I'd be interested... because the nearest I know of the word with fjor - in it is fjortis which is a girl that is a bit cheap/gives it away easily.

    God I love languages.

    P.S. There is no capital p - in penis... as important a capital as you may consider it! ;)

    Fantastic. We had a choice about fighting them over there. We have to stop exploiting their natural resources and basing our soldiers in their countries to avoid fighting them over here.

    SUVs and grande latte enemas all around. These people won't get how wrong they are, ever. Liberals and independents have to grow some balls and stand up. Videos and blogs are nice, but why isn't anyone in the street protesting this stuff?

    We'll get what we get until we make it different.
  • Farquad Arnot 2 years ago
    I'm sorry that you'll be inconvenienced by the traffic, but it's a bigger bummer to be killed for bullshit. What's the alternative? Sit around with your finger up your ass?

    BTW, the FBI is already collecting useless tidbits on all of us.

    I agree that Live Earth was and exercise in idol worship and futility, but protest and direct action ended the Viet Nam war, and will do that with this one as well.

    May you should grow some balls, quit complaining and join us on the street.
  • Farquad Arnot 2 years ago
    Thanks. Your posts are pretty good as well.

    Zack should Google "War Diary" and watch the video where the NCOs are telling the grunts that they won't cut it in civilian life and they'll just end up in prison getting ass raped. That's how they're getting people to reenlist.

    America is morally bankrupt. Whether it stays that way is completely up to us.

    Good one Max, really kicks ass. Awkwardly amazing that they all basically were saying the same lines with bravado then shrinking just a tad backing into well here's their repeating excuse for NO BALLS, no eloquence, no mind, posers one and all. Blinding blind faith.

    Yes! See my "Beware the Chickenhawks" originally posted on Google Video 2/19/07. Impeach President Chickenhawk, Vice Dick, and the neoCONloons for lying US into Chickenhawk WAR! The real question has become: who will be the last to die for the Iraq lie!
    Thanx,

    Nice work. Love the bumper sticker.

  • Zack 2 years ago
    I have an open question for everyone. Since over 90% of the population supported the war in Afghanistan (including the Pope), are the people who did not volunteer for that war also chickenhawks? If that is the case, then I supposed that 90% of Americans are indeed chickenhawks, including Max (assuming he supported the war, which is likely), his father Sidney, and the man whom his father worked for, President Clinton. I suppose I'm not making an argument either way, I just think that maybe this term is only being used because it fits Max's purpose, and is a great talking point for the anti-war movement.

    that wasn't interpretative dance folks, it was for the most part, simply Tai Chi.
    but i do agree that it was not a productive way to end his day there.

    Permit me to suggest the following films:
    "America:Freedom to Fascism";
    "Zeitgeist the Movie";
    "The Money Masters";
    "Orwell Rolls in his Grave";
    "Iraq for Sale"; and anything you can dig up on "BlackWater".
    BTW, Hussein hated AL Qaeda, and Osama, never sponsored them EVER and the FBI never filed
    formal charges against BIN LADEN for ANYTHING.

    The level of hypocrisy in the world is on the rise. So, let's look a bit at a few nuts and bolts.

    Both Democrats (who took the congress shortly after Bush took the second term)
    and Republicans voted to onward this war. Obama and Hilary have suggested that if it is necessary, a preemptive war in Iran is not out of the question. Only Ron Paul, no favorite of the media, has suggested to simply get the you-know-what out of there and try and figure out how to pay the bill we've already run up in China. The USA is now the biggest debtor nation in the world, as was the USSR just before it imploded financially because of over extending it's military budgets. Nixon speaks of the likely hood of this to happen in his book The Real War.

    The real government in America is voted for not in elections, but by products people buy (such as food & oil). The 15 richest corporations today are richer than all the counties of the world put together. These are glued together by an even richer group of corporations making up the so called world and federal banks. The surprisingly few people (rarely mentioned by the media) who own & control these powerful interests, print your money, lend to all governments (putting governments in a state of perpetual obligation to them) and to the rich corporations money they need to exist ; and though the many entities they create and support or partly own and control, put money into the pockets of the so called leaders they'd like to dangle in front of the people via elections and media. These people own the corporations which own the media and even have a say as to what the education system can and can not teach you... for knowledge is power and they just assume and do keep a lid on the best bits.

    Now that, glib as it may sound, could be said to be a conspiracy theory, except it is not conjuncture, but based on rather well documented (however not overtly publicized) facts, plus there has been so far no accusing anyone of braking laws. Power in of itself IS the law. Part of that law is the gullibility of the ignorant who think they know, but do not.

    It is time for both Republicans and Democrats alike to call a spade a spade. Fascism is quite simply :

    When economic interests, over the interests of a people, take control of government.

    This is, at least, how Mussolini described it. The 'spin' of fascism is an industrial military complex which breeds nationalism and 'you are either with us, or you are against us', along with a fear & enemy oriented politic (like in George Orwell 1984).

    At this time, both parties who want to reach the sheeple, must bow to the press, thus accept the credo of the real unseen corporate government. They must take on different styles and faces, oppose each other with venom...
    Yet they are supported by the same interests whose goal is new world order, i.e. one world government : not a free America. These poorly educated student are being mesmerized by the neocon model which has stolen the old republican party. They are drones going though mind control games... which is why they can not permit to be filmed.

    This was quite visible in Hitler's (both perpetrating and) use of the Reichstag fire to gain Marshall law, thus proceed in his plans to take over Europe. More murky historically are the industrial interests which backed Hitler and made the fortunes off the criminal actions Hitler thus embarked upon. In the end, Hitler paid with his life (making it seem clear to everyone the bad guy didn't get away). What is missed by most people is that Hitler's Germany was one of the biggest financial booms in history, thanks to slave labor, a huge military industrial complex and an un abashed vicious desire to take what ever they wanted and kill anyone in their way... A huge success! The financial backers & corporations involved, kept a large part of their profits. This included many well known now multinational corporations still in existence today. It's a long list and many American companies are implicated not to mention super rich families...

    With out mentioning obvious names, it is not difficult to draw frightening similarities to the use of tactics, media and slogans then and now. The popularity and banalization of the idea that 'we' can or 'should' kill 'other' people who 'we' do not agree with (as long as they are over there and the media does not show it)... and in the same breath evoke 'religion' and moral values! Wow!

    Faster pussy cat! Kill! Kill!

    With out plugging any particular religion, just where is it that a Jesus Christ, or a Mohamed (any moderate Muslimam will tell you that 'jilad' does not suggest killing people who are not of the same faith ; it's more likely meaning is to fight against one's own lack of faith : which exists in every religion), or Buddha, or Krishna... etc., in anyway suggests to kill anybody if they are not of the same opinion, race, color, creed, or economic background! Where is it that these sages even disagree?! Wars are however, always done in such names because when ever any real prophet comes to earth, his words (meant to empower the individual spirit of mankind) are taken up and distorted to fit into political agendas... and used to empower the tiny elite groups who lord power over all others ; which may well be why a real spiritual development of general humanity is, at this late date, retarded.

    Hitler, of course was a fanatic Christian and thought it swell to kill Jews : who, thanks to Hitler, themselves now have a small but powerful and very rich (as well as substantial influence in the intellectual state of the neocon movement : Leo Strauss, etc., which has nothing at all to do with the real philosophy of the Republican party classically) military industrial complex under the flag of those three great antique gods ISIS, RA & ELOHIM subventioned by the USA & England

    Of course, it is great fun to be a Nazi. You get fancy power clothing. You get power over the groveling masses, you can buy sex because you are rich while selling the evils of doing so to the media obedient sheeple... just so they do not taste the powers and wealth you have. You can even kill, which of course is really the most gratifying end of absolute power... and may, aside the fact it is profitable, one of the likely reasons war is so well loved! And love for humanity at large is so hated. This, however, is a digression.

    Like in any whodoneit : ask yourselves seriously : who profited from 9/11... and then go look at gas prices. With little comment from the press, oil prices went up about as fast as the WTC came down.

    How often does the mass media talk about making a serious divorce from oil dependence and the imperative need to start massively moving towards alternative existing energy sources for motor vehicles?! Of course any hint of abuses by any known personality of the utilization of KY jelly will fill volumes. Indeed an ugly digression here, but exactly the sort of digression the press is filled with to divert attention from the real issue : the purposeful ruin and vilification of the USA in the eyse if the rest of the world in order usher in a non democratic one party state called 'the new world order' (same phrase as used by Hitler coming out of both Republican & Democrat mouths) with limited freedom & biased justice for all but those in the eye of the pyramid.

    If you want to make a real war against a group of terrorists, whose work it is (in effect) to stimulate high oil prices (through fear and confusion so the people can be easily manipulated) :

    Stop electing people whose fortunes are related to the oil business!
    (of course for that, it may we wiser to use a fidele & countable ballet)
    Take away their source of income : oil profits and high prices.

    For these you do not even need to kill anyone... that is less exciting, true, and may take the manly 'vroom vroom' out of car motors (electric cars make no noise and the new air cars... well, they work on compressed air, the technology exists)...
    ...as for biofuels : the world is much too hungry to waist growing fields to feed cars! There are better, cheaper and cleaner solutions! Now.

    Again the point is simple : you want to say good bye to Al Quida?!
    Fine. Make the production of combustion motors for cars illegal...

    Al Quida is no more than a sponsored group to inspire fear and confusion to keep truth from ruining a super lucrative business WHICH IS HARMFUL TO THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE PEOPLE... all people, by the way, not only we overweight Americans.

    This puts Al Quida into the same boat as the crooks and criminals who profit from them by giving you a government bent on selling fear, war & expensive poisonous oil (yes, the 20 century's prosperity was due to oil, but it is time to move on)... tax you into oblivion and print money to save hot shot brokers and bankers driving Maseratis around wall street while the Fed devalues our already nearly worthless, backed by empty promises, dollar! Good morning Amero!

    Good bye last vestiges of democracy and the American constitution... freedom of speech, etc..

    Let us not be so smug by our prophets as to sell out humanity for comparative religion nor national pride (when we have so little knowledge of what really goes on in our ever more secretive governments), nor for that matter stock prices !!!

    Nor cling to fear so fast as to give way to the abolition of our own democracy in the guise of forcing it on others... let us not become 'the land of the micro-chipped, home of the cowering fools' while comparing notes as to whose version of Jesus or Moses is going to save us when we do so little to save ourselves! Those prophets will have no truck with the hypocritical twins (political/religious) who bomb women and children no matter how hard they pray! Wake up and look at yourselves in the mirror... you are not any bigger nor better than anybody else, and if you think you are, fine!

    But then, please just forget about the Bible, the Koran, the Bhagavad Gita, Buddha, etc.. you missed the message!
