There is no police state, no elite controlling you. America was pretty relaxed before 9/11 but soon after because of the terrorist attack they now have security beefed up beyond belief. This sudden rise in paranoid security includes military grade weapons for police and this idea that the government was behind it all. It creates a fear in the people that provokes thoughts of a police state - which is just 9/11 heightened security and a government inside job - which is just the same conspiracy they put in jfk. It has to be bigger then it is 'it must of been the government.....

Are you trying to be sarcastic?

or are you just uninformed?

Hi guys, while reading all you post it crossed my mind, how refreshing it would be to have someone real stand up and give a speech to the nation.

I could relate to that,

I know one thing, we miss him. And, my brother, who liked Carlin very much, and treats me like I'm crazy to go on ATS and believe in these conspiracies, all the while trying to get a rise out of me, by showing me a picture of Bush in the paper and saying he was the best president the US had, (I know hes middle age, but would someone please adopt him quickly), well, he had to walk out and have a smoke while this video was on. Denial anyone?

I don't know. It is a tough job to change the world. Don't think for even an instant that if you were even able to get a live world-wide audience that they wouldn't just shoot you, right there in front of everyone, if they thought you were doing TOO good a job.

"That man was trying to incite a riot!"... Then they would have provacateurs go in and actually do some rioting to justify it.

I do what I can every day. I had pretty much had most of this speech of his memorized before last night, but I went ahead and put the rest of it to memory and then gave a good paraphrase to four different people today.

Same with every other topic I find intriguing or disturbing. I voice my opinions. Politics, religion, aliens, whatever. Anything that I feel is important enough for me to spend my time on in here, I also feel is important enough for others to at least have the opportunity to make up their own minds about.
The only difficult thing is trying to work it in such a way that people will actually listen to you.
This is why I admire George Carlin so much. He used his wit to make people listen, but he was always spot on. (I disagree with him on some of his religious views, but that is neither here nor there. It doesn't detract from the fact that he had a brilliant intellect.)

On second thought, they would probably fabricate evidence to link you to Al Qaeda and have some skinhead kill you. That way they don't have a legal mess...
Oh, and then the skinhead would get shot.

or are you just uninformed?

Yeah um what exactly am I 'uninformed' about, Mr conspiracy theorist?

It seems George was also aware of all the credible radar evidence and sworn eyewitness testimony with regard to the UFO subject:

On second thoughts.... anyone else fancy the "lead role"?

The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice, you don’t, you have no choice you have owners they own you, they own everything. They own all the important land, they own and control all the cooperation’s . They’ve long since bought and paid for the senate, the congress, the state houses, the city halls. They’ve got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies so they can control just about all news and information you get.

Yeah um see, in Australia there is no big conspiracy of control or ‘owners’ lol. We actually elect our politicians, ya. Na but, so do you guys in America it’s just the bush administration has lead you to believe you don’t because of the bs job Bush has done. But you still have choice and Obama is proof of that. “They’ve long since bought and paid for the senate, the congress, the state houses, the city halls.” There’s no proof of this. Anyone who claimed this on ats would be questioned by evidence, too bad he’s dead.

They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t wont well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking.... You know what they want? They want obedient workers - obedient workers.

So what he’s getting at is the uneducated Americans that supposedly are that way because the government doesn’t want intelligent people figuring out the conspiracy? Well that’s ridiculous. It’s the governments fault people are dumb? LOL

What a crock.

Who's with me that George Carlin is the greatest American George since Washington?

I really enjoyed the last 2 clips as well - very eye-opening. I saved the OP clip awhile back from the (I think) original thread a few months or so before Carlin died, and it still blows me away like no other. If there's a Heaven, certainly dear George should be a personal friend of the management or leadership (if there is any)...

As amazing as Carlin was/is, no one is perfect. I disagree with his pessimism that nothing will ever change. Who knows what it will take to bring real change, but it will get here?
