effyoo Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Although this animation continues to peddle the phony left/right paradigm, it is nonetheless an interesting and enlightening look at the current state of the US Government under the Bush administration.

Æ° Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Sometimes I think Alex Jones is a fucking clown. But I do like to check out his webpage just to see what stories he's covering, and then I search the internet for a more reasonable source. He brings a lot of valid shit to the table, but I think he could pass on information more effectively. Like if he were to cool out a bit and get rid of the (not so)subtle commentary it wouldn’t be so difficult to use his stories as a reference or pass them off as legitimate when I'm emailing links around. Some of his video clips are a fucking riot though, especially when he gets face to face with CIA agents, look out! edit: You can see some great clips of this guy and some really good comedians at http://www.sacredcow.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dojafx Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 On the real though, that is a nice little animation, but it is incorrect in insinuating that America under Bush is a fascist country. Although I wont deny we are heading in that direction, the very fact that we are on this website everyday bashing him is evidence that we arent there yet. Just wait a few years, then they'll pull the big dogs out (Pat Buchanan) holler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

effyoo Posted February 2, 2005 Author Share Posted February 2, 2005 i was just sent the link and thought it made interesting fodder for crossfire. i never really checked the rest of the site. with that said, i always take videos like this with a grain of salt. but like the quote says, it's interesting and gives you something to think about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaBar2 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Jeeze, and all this time I thought I was a republican. According to our boy Alex, I must be a fascist. Truth to tell. Do you guys really believe George W. Bush is a no-bullshit, Mussolini-style fascist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelofdeath Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 a buddy of mine has been getting me into alex jones a little bit. my opinion he is a little "out there." i can agree with some of his points, gun control, abortion, and his other "hardcore" conservative beliefs, but i think this whole new world order thing has gone a little to far. one of his videos did have a good clip of Craig Roberts, a former sniper which was pretty good. other than that, i would watch what he says, hes alot of spin. he was talking about the patriot act one day on his radio show (whats new??) and was saying that under such and such clause would put you in jail without a lawyer blah blah, i looked it up, and the clause he was talking about had nothing at all to do with what he was talking about. so i take him with a grain of salt. and this shit is rediculous if people actually think we live in a facist society.

!@#$% Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 They bombed innocent people, tryin' to murder Saddam When you gave him those chemical weapons to go to war with Iran This is the information that they hold back from Peter Jennings Cause Condoleeza Rice is just a new age Sally Hemmings I break it down with critical language and spiritual anguish The Judas I hang with, the guilt of betraying Christ You murdered and stole his religion, and painting him white Translated in psychologically tainted philosophy Conservative political right wing, ideology Glued together sloppily, the blasphemy of a nation Got my back to the wall, cause I'm facin' assassination Guantanamo Bay, federal incarceration How could this be, the land of the free, home of the brave? Indigenous holocaust, and the home of the slaves Corporate America, dancin' offbeat to the rhythm You really think this country, never sponsored terrorism? Human rights violations, we continue the saga El Savador and the contras in Nicaragua And on top of that, you still wanna take me to prison Just cause I won't trade humanity for patriotism Flow like the blood of Abraham through the Jews and the Arabs Broken apart like a woman's heart, abused in a marriage The brink of holy war, bottled up, like a miscarriage Embedded correspondents don't tell the source of the tension And they refuse to even mention, European intervention Or the massacres in Jenin, the innocent screams U.S. manufactured missles, and M-16's Weapon contracts and corrupted American dreams Media censorship, blocking out the video screens A continent of oil kingdoms, bought for a bargain Democracy is just a word, when the people are starvin' The average citizen, made to be, blind to the reason A desert full of genocide, where the bodies are freezin' And the world doesn't believe that you fightin' for freedom Cause you fucked the Middle East, and gave birth to a demon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POIESIS Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 you can't make a comparative case with nazi germany or mussolini or whatever.. now if you're the type of person that thinks the government is the shadow cast by corporations, then it gets a little more complicated. i think the better question is what type of democracy is gwb's america.

CACashRefund Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 I think that video is over-the-top, at the most five characteristics could fall under america. I could refute alot of the points he brings up, but ill post it later when im feeling more intellectual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
