I'm only about 10 minutes into this at the time of posting. So far this looks interesting enough that I figured I'd share it.

    The time for civil disobedience is here!! The system is losing the sanction of its victims. Those who stand silent only enable the looters. Who was it that said something about "those who cried 'Appease! Appease!' were then killed by those whom they tried to please."?

    My ancient computer will not stream a video in a manner that makes it palatable.

    I just downloaded the entire video, and am burning it to a DVD disc for TV viewing.

    I'll have something worth saying (hopefully) later this evening!

    I didn't like that statement either...I immediately thought...."that's just making people think if they lay low they won't be bothered...???" Good call, kh. As usual!

    ok. I finally listened to the whole thing while cleaning. there were some statements which were incorrect. At 1:11:00 in, the premise of the entire video is undermined by the statement that most people were not harassed by their tyrannical govt. Mao killed estimates 48-78 MILLION people. The total pop of China in 1960 was less 700million people. that is 1 out of 10. Think of those who did not die who were living at the edge of starvation, who were chilled by their friends, neighbors, family members were killed. Millions remaining had their whole lives destroyed. Under Hitler, 12 Million killed in Concentration camps, not including those conscripted to be in the military, their livlihoods taken over by the country, the chilling effect of imprisonment, etc. the total pop of Germany in 1940 was only 70 million. This comment presents the idea that you can live a relatively, unaffected life under tyranny. I disagree.
    Right now in the US, the economic downturn has affected millions. Most people are harassed under tyranny. Their lives have been affected. Whether they see that or not is another major point.

    I just finished watching this.... jam packed with Constitutional facts and history.
