Obviously the guy was smart enough to have a recording device on his person and to activate it. I want to know how the uploader got ahold of it.
:EDIT:
The uploader posted a comment:
“It was sent to me with no claims about being the people who made it. I researched every detail and tried to contact the victims. I wrote to the mall where they said that they were visiting. I wrote to the Border Police and visited their web page. I was ignored; which is very significant, because that means that they made no denials.”
This beautiful video, inspired by Ron Paul’s famous “What If” speech and video, is in French, but it’s still worth watching even if you don’t speak French. Click the CC button on the YouTube screen and get decent English subtitles. The CC button may be available only if you watch on YouTube itself.
My friend Ron Unz recently launched Unz.org, a site with so many valuable resources I can hardly believe it. It is a researcher’s dream. In addition to much else, you’ll find the entire print run of countless periodicals, some mainstream and some more obscure. You’ll find radical left, radical right, Establishment stuff, you name it. You are a grownup, so you can handle this. None of the material is being endorsed. It is being provided as a service to you and to curious people everywhere.
To generate interest in the site, Ron is offering a $10,000 prize for the most interesting historical discovery uncovered via the use of the material there. Click here for details on the competition.
Liberty Classroom fills a desperate need in history teaching. Anyone who wants to learn the true story of American and world history should sign up immediately. The price is a steal. Tom Woods and company should have their heads examined for practically giving away college-level lectures on real history.
Chad Nelson writes, in an email titled “So pleased…”:
…and I’m only two lectures into the early colonial history of the US. I signed up because of my affinity for Dr. Woods, and was lukewarm to hearing the other professors. Not because I doubted their abilities–just because I love and know Woods and his work. By the time I heard McClanahan’s first two lectures, I was wishing he’d just do the whole course he was so good! Love the guy already! Great presentation and such a deep knowledge base and understanding of the subject matter. I am so excited to rip through these courses it’s not even funny.
What is going on with all the empty space on this thread ?
That border crossing audio. Why do police think that they can give orders to people and they have to obey. Where does that come from? It comes from the military, where they have to follow orders. If a police officer ever commands me to do some thing i will remind him that I am not in the military and I do not have to obey orders. I bet that will go down well. But they are known to charge people with resisting arrest or obstruction of justice (haha) for not following orders. I also find it interesting that trying to resist police brutality is assault. Always that way, you touch a police officer in the wrong way you get a GBH conviction. They taze you and almost kill you and then they get a promotion.
But that is the wrong way to handle a border crossing. That guy just generally sounds stressed. The reply that they don’t know which shops they are going to visit is a reasonable answer to the quesiton, which shops are you going to. But he just got upset because he questioned the question.
Yes! American culture has become suffused with military worship. The History channel is almost nothing but. They have their own dedicated Military channel and dedicated programs on many other channels, such as Discovery. They have infiltrated consumer culture at every level. Our police look like them. Our schools are modeled on them. Our political leaders never cease speaking of their virtues. Our churches pray for them and are filled with the wives left behind by them.
The left keeps complaining about “corporatism” - they just don’t get it. Corporate life is modeled on military life (in particular, the officers’ ranks). The primary measure of your success is how many “heads” you have under you. The martial virtues are supreme. Looking like you are in the military helps: a good crew-cut with that constipated, “I just ran 5 miles, took two showers and it’s still only 5am”-look. Walking like you’re in the military - very fast - is crucial. The faster you walk all the time, the more important you must be. Making sure that people see you “volunteering” and “giving to the community” as well as putting your immense discipline on display by running marathons or racing bicycles and putting the trophies on your desk are all-important.
Yet the left - with the exception of a few, principled groups like CodePink, antiwar.com, Democracy Now! etc. - worships the military along with everybody else. They love the idea of a regimented society. The military is the ultimate centrally-planned society (actually, to be precise, prison is even more centrally-planned). Requisitions officers make sure food and materials are procured, logistics officers make sure it is transported to the places it is needed, and on time. And so on. A place for everything and everything in its place. That’s what society would be if we just made the whole society a military. Imagine how wonderful that would be. It would be like one of those Coke commercials where everybody just dances in their choreographed steps all day and we would all just have happy, fulfilling lives.
I don’t really watch TV but I don’t see all these military values in Atlanta’s culture. Didn’t see them in Miami’s culture either. Perhaps I’ve been looking in the wrong places.
