This video is sick!

He's talking about deep issues that no one dares to touch.

"The taker of human life is the cure." I wonder if he means nature or other humans because mother Earth has that arena cornered lately...

This video gave me the worst headache i have had in 5 year's it also made me feel like i was going to vomit from the audio level alone.

If you like mumbo jumbo being shouted at you at fifty million billion trillion decibel's i suggest you whatch this movie.

If not then dont whatch it it's junk.

Regards
Lee

omg....i want to thank you for turning me on to Joe Coleman!

Mr R.I.P. here is one seriously possessed sicko recruiting for prison planets of the future. Yes, the earth has too many people and we should take better care of her and reproduce a lot less. We have made her sick, but Mother Earth loves us anyway and still has great hopes for us. She does not want us torturing and murdering each other. That is what the devil wants and this pompous fellow will find out what all these things feel like and probably much more in his next realm.

We have made a mess as species. How about just cleaning up after ourselves and changing our mores on reproduction and consumption? Hello? Quit buying useless toys and focus on what you really need to live and your spiritual life. That doesn't necessarily mean the Bible either. Listen to your heart. What is true for you?

Please remember this man is only as sick and twisted as the world in which we live..
Im very shocked to see ATS playing and putting this video up!!
While I may be able to relate to many things here on the art side and losing a wife so closely dear to me.. I just feel this man Joe has way to many issues! Not only with death but being left alone..
I guess he found a way to express that, which is good.. However I dont feel that comfortable talking about much of this after many of my posts where taken down, and I was asked by a couple mods to keep it clean this is a family site..
Thus I really cant talk about many things to do with this video..
As I made a promise to those mods to keep it clean, and for the kids of this site..
However I suggest you put up a disclaimer to this vidoe.. It has naked strippers! And Honestly is not something Kids should be watching..
I know I wouldnt want my kid watching this video!!!!

And the subject manner is something I was told never to talk about on here or I would be banned... So not really sure why you even put up this video.. I personally love it, and have a deep rooted understand of this..
Yet I cant say anything, my hands are tied...

Ouch.

I like to be open to new experiences, however, this was not one I enjoyed.

Like so many of you always say, if you don't like what is on, turn the channel, so I did.

There are some very deep thinkers here at ATS, and I'm sure many will understand, and relate to this.

I'm none of the above.

I was going to just edit my post so I didnt have to make a whole new post.. But didnt work so here we go..

This is a very dangerous way to think.. Some people can listen to this and just let it go and pass it off as crazy..
But there may be some where this video is bad news for them. And ends up making them do something really freakin stupid!!!

This is no way to go about thinking about life.. NOt only is it dangerous by its clearly irresponsible!!! AND I want to know why you put this on ATS when Ive been told never to talk about these things on here...

WHY???? I want to get a mod respone from this..
You guys told me to keep it clean many times. And without making a stink I went ahead and complied, with no problems.. But then you post this video which is a dangerous way to think of life..

Not only dangerous but extreamly unhealthy.. And a young kid could see this and really warp their view of this already phucked up world..

Im fine with all this stuff.. It doesnt offend me, but still after watching this video, it has remained on my mind as to what your agenda is for having this video up??

Any mods out there let me know.. And why now? And is it okay to talk about whats going on in the video without being banned, like I was already warned one time... BDSM is a touchy subject yet you put a video up that clearly pushes the BDSM agenda.. ANd not so much the BD but the SM which I clearly dont get down with, not only that but I sertinly dont condone the use of herion which this video clearly pushes..

I guess you people didn't watch "Divided State"? Why would you try to supress a video? Last time I checked this is America...(sorry random quote from a comedian)

Seriously though, I haven't even watched the video. I keep reading, "It made me sick, why would you show this". zysin5, you are making me sick with your unwarranted whining.

You want your media filtered and controlled? Move to China or some other fascist regime.

Thanks.

oh, and ATS, I hope not one Mod comes and responds to these people. They are the opposite of what this board was designed for.

To quote Peter Griffin:

"While i dont agree with what you say i'll defend to the death your right to say it"

*Edited to add:
Just finished Alex Jones' Endgame. 160 minutes worth of awesome video but I'm worn out. I'll get to this video soon.

**Edited again to add:
zysin5: Why would you complain to ATS and in the same post break the TOS of the site? Saying "Phucked" instead of the proper word to get around the filter does not make it any more appropriate.

I don't mind curse words, in fact, I curse like a sailor. However, there's a time and place for cursing and this board isn't that time or place.

WTF??? You dont even watch the vid and you make a post??? Dude you need to take a chill pill.. You have no idea who I am and what I have said on ATS.. YOU DONT HAVE a clue..

I never said censor this video.. and YES I did watch the whole Utha ordeal and this has nothing to do with that...

LOL you seriously dont get it do you?? I was almost banned for even touching this subject, there guy in the past on ATS..

You say Im whinning? Yet I ask a simple question as to why they would add this video.. While the whole time I enjoy the video, and can honeslty follow the whole thing?? Yet I dont think many have taken the time to watch this and get their own personal message out of it..

I say its irresponsible, and dangerous for those who dont have a mind that can draw a line between things like this.. I can.. I know the difference between right and wrong.. Some will see this video and say yep.. Im going to kill someone.. and then they go out and kill your whole family.. How would you feel about that hero?

IM a morbid artist and person.. I have types of fetish that are not welcome here.. And you jump the gun on me.. well you can take a long walk off a short bridge there buddy!!!!

I wanted to ask a MOD why they put this video up when its somewhat aginst the rules they make..

I mean if your going to make a rule you should follow it.. Kinda like most christians.. Its your rules, either stick to um or abandon the faith all together.

DONT make a post to me unless you watch the video there guy.. Save it untill you know.. And why not bring your kids in to watch it with you..

Yeah do that, and get back with me hero..

I appreciate you calling me hero but I don't need you to give me a burst of self confidence. Thanks though.

I also don't need to watch a video to know that it shouldn't be censored. I believe you are placing the fault in the wrongs hands, sir. If someone can watch a movie and then make an immoral decision, who's fault is that? The person or the movie?

Common sense would say the movie. I believe it was Swift who wrote the rhetorical pamphlet, "A Modest Proposal" about the Irish eating their own babies. If someone ate your baby because of it would it be their fault or Swift's?

Would you write such adamant and angry posts about how Swift killed your baby? Or would you seek justice in the moron that took it seriously?

Now, I would guess there are some differences between your posts and this movie. Maybe not idealogically different, but presentation wise.

As I said, I will get to watching the movie. I highly doubt I will be as offended and protestant as you, however. If I don't like it, I will just close the window...

I suggest you do the same.

well uhh guess that makes me the odd man out I thought it was really fascinating.

awesome film, amazing art and all around just great film.

although some of his views arent that esoteric like tumors/cities or that visionary the whole package is amazing and oddly enough I have many parallels with Joe and I kinda almost envy his ability to perform like that.

thanks ATS you made data day at work interesting.
