Must See Video!

I came across these 2 excellent videos last night you've gotta see! I found them while reading Digital Publius, who in turn found them as he read The Conservative Mama and Conservative Black Woman.

The first video is a cartoon that uses humor to teach about the very real dangers of communism, as well as the benefits provided by free markets.  Jessica is right on the money too, saying:

This Cartoon predicts the future 50 years ago. This could have been made yesterday! You have to watch this!

Yes.  Freedom!

I agree with Digital Publius as well, this cartoon could have a significant positive impact if picked up by enough people and going "virus!"

I hope that we can make this animated gem go viral, so that the message it's creators endeavored to spread, reaches an audience far larger than they could have imagined.

Update: Dave C At The Point Of A Gun posted this video a few days ago, in Technicolor!

 

The second video is a little more on the disturbing side ... but a video you should indubitably see!

In it, former KGB operative Yuri Bezmenov talks about Russian ideological subversion, or psychological warfare. He explains how through a deliberate process of destroying values, destabilizing the economy, and aggravating crisis, America has gone from a mostly conservative/libertarian nation, to the Marxist socialism we are witnessing today.  Ironically, the interview took place in 1984.

It's frightening when you consider how prophetic his words have become, yet as Digital Publius notes, it certainly helps to make sense of some things.

Bezmenov is particularly illuminating when you reflect on the many frustrating discussions you suffer through with liberals who refuse to accept demonstrable evidence that contradicts their kooky utopian, sometimes dangerous, often frightening ideas.

You can read the transcript by visiting The Conservative Black Woman.

    Careful,

    I came across this video about 4 months ago and was reluctant to publish it on Politics. It is from the Birch Society and they tend to be on the conspiratorial side of things.

    However Bezmenov lays out what seems to be happening right now. If this was a dramatic attempt by the Birchers they certainly and quite keenly hit on reality. Still the source has to be taken with a grain of salt.

    Oh one other point, if you look on You Tube there are about three other parts to this interview. I think the whole thing is about 30 minutes total.

    The problem the crazy conspiracy stories cause, is, it's like crying wolf too many times. You start hearing about puppet-master lizard men that secretly control the world, and you soon learn to tune out everything they say. At least I do. But then the wolf appears ... and nobody's listening anymore.

    There really is a lot of unusual, and for a lack of a better word, clandestine ... big money, high-powered, influential "events" taking place, that the 4th branch of government doesn't report. "Grand Conspiracies" are one thing, but to consider for a moment that every day, people "conspire" to do things, for both good or evil reasons, then it's easy to see, that people in government are going to "conspire" too.

    Both Goldwater and Reagan openly discussed their skepticism and warned of their influences. They talked about all of the main conspiratorial culprits too - Roosevelt, Bilderberg, CFR, Trilateral Commission, Federal Reserve ...

    Bottom line is, I don't trust government. And all the crazy things going on right now, from Fannie and Freddie, TARP, "stimulus," "bailouts," etc. Even service-learning ...

    It's all a straight-up, criminal enterprise. "We the people" should be skeptical of everything. Especially considering how nice it was for Bush to get the hard-core socialism ball rolling for Obama. It's a screw job.

    CL,

    Please don't take my warning about the Birchers as discounting this video. I share your opine that the conspiracies, unfortunately, cause the obvious realities of big business and big government to be overlooked or thought of as ridiculous.

    The people should be at the least skeptical of their government, especially in its present form. Its intentions are getting more and more difficult to decipher.

    I think Bez was on point with his claims regardless if this was staged or not.

    Oh, hey ... I'm a blogger. I just took the opportunity to jump on back on my soapbox! :-)

    The Birchers ... at one time in history, they were an important force in the conservative movement. Then, I guess in the 60's, they got caught up in what I like to call the "dungeons and dragons" conspiracies ... satan, illuminati, etc., and for all I know, holographic lizard men from outer space ...

    But I'm not so sure it's like that anymore. I've read quite a bit of their recent material, and watched a number of videos, and while they may not be "mainstream," they certainly aren't anything like Jeff Rense either.

    Are they perfect? No. Nobody is, and I need to learn more about them too. But for now, I'll take "The New American" over "The New Majority," any day of the week!

    Those of us on the right-side of the political scale need to learn to start compromising with each other, instead of compromising with the left. We'd be a lot stronger this way. I mean, look at it this way ... I'm very ideological (for reasons I should explain some other time), yet I understand in politics, as in life, there's going to be some give and take. So ...

    Everyone on the right, from anarchists to neocons and everywhere in between, should acknowledge the differences we're willing to put aside (at least for now), and start putting a greater emphasis on the many things we do have in common.

    Think about it ... who (really) poses a greater threat to your freedom: Birchers and "Paulites?" Or progressives and the RNSC?

    Don't mean to highjack your thread. But I do agree the Birchers and Paulinites are no where near as troublesome as Progressives or the NRSC.

    I think the Birch society lost its cred when it accused Eisenhower, I think it was, of being a communist conspirator.

    It would be nice to see them getting grounded once again.

    Hmmmm ... you're a "right-winger," skeptical of government, a possible Bircher sympathizer, and now you're hijacking threads?

    Terrorist!

    Damn it CL, now that you let the cat out of the bag DHS is coming for me.
