heroes. It's all a matter of perspective and
timing.
But I consider the founding fathers,
relievers of tyranny.
so if that makes me a terrorist,
then by all means so be it.
and btw, the French showing up
to block Cornwallis escape by sea
did not think the founding fathers
were terrorists either
This video is a perfect example
of mind programming for an agenda.

I don't know the full context of this video... but from what I saw in there he was trying to communicate a very valid and important point, but one that requires discernment and subtlety to fully appreciate.
The entire point is that an act of violence or aggression by a people dedicated to their cause, is viewed as terrorism by the people or group that is being attacked. One man's heroism is another man's terrorism.
The United States would not exist were it not due to unlawful aggression by the colonists. Whether they were right or not is up to individuals to decide for themselves... provided they spend time actually understanding the conditions the people were living in and the norms of the time.
You have to understand how your actions are going to be perceived before you can make a wise decision of whether it should be acted on or not. It is also important to understand the mindset of those who are attempting to be aggressive against you in order to have any chance of successfully defending yourself. There is a HUGE difference between someone who attacks you because they wish to take your property/resources... and someone who attacks you because they believe you have wronged them.
This is the core message that the guy in the video is trying to communicate as far as I can tell.
I hope this helps.

The Video was featured in 9/11 Road to Tyranny that was taken at an Oklahoma meeting where a FEMA representative tells the local police that the founding fathers were terrorists.
FEMA = sick
