Once you know, you can't go back.

Here is a list of things, in my opinion, that they do not teach in public schools:

Ben Franklin's Interpretation of why the Revolutionary War took place

The refusal of King George to allow the colonies to operate an honest money system, which freed the ordinary man from clutches of the money manipulators was probably the prime cause of the revolution.

A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is privately concentrated. The growth of the Nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men... We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated, governments in the civilized world—no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and the duress of small groups of dominant men."

^ "The 1999 repealing of the Glass-Steagall Act. Thanks to a Democratic Presidency."

The bill that ultimately repealed the Act was introduced in the Senate by Phil Gramm (Republican of Texas) and in the House of Representatives by Jim Leach (R-Iowa) in 1999. The bills were passed by a Republican majority, basically following party lines by a 54–44 vote in the Senate[12] and by a bi-partisan 343–86 vote in the House of Representatives.[13] After passing both the Senate and House the bill was moved to a conference committee to work out the differences between the Senate and House versions. The final bill resolving the differences was passed in the Senate 90–8 (one not voting) and in the House: 362–57 (15 not voting). The legislation was signed into law by President Bill Clinton on November 12, 1999.[14]

Yes, Clinton should have vetoed it, but let's not forget who got the ball rolling.

Nice post. Good info.

Wait - he's saying George Bush Senior killed President Kennedy? Woah there, slow down. Occult? He kind of goes off the rails a bit there, doesn't he?

my father spent the late 80s and all of the 90s obsessed with the kennedy assassination, he blamed h.w for it too. i dont mean obsessed in a normal curiosity for it, i mean my father was insane. something about h.w. being the head of the cia? but my memory is fuzzy and my little kid brain was no good at sorting out which theories were coming from somewhere rooted in some kind of reality and which ones were popping up out of the paranoid air he breathed. anyhow, george bush is certainly a player in some conspiracy theories. id go find them for you, but it makes me sad.

but i live in the dallas area and do love to give tours of dealy plaza!

1. houston does have some damn fine eateries.
2. as much as i like the idea of cussing out murderous heads of state, my heart kind of sinks when they become old men trying to get a slice of pizza.

All the Bushes are slimeballs but this guy takes himself way too seriously.

What's wrong with going up to Bush and calmly tell him that you think he did a terrible job and hurt your country? Why must it instead be shouting profanities like a self righteous young teenager?
I don't disapprove of the act of expressing ones feelings, just the way this guy handled the situation. He had a golden opportunity to voice some of his crackpot conspiracy theories to one of the subjects of them, but instead he seems to have wasted it by heckling like a drunk at a comedy club open mic night.

The guy in this video looks to me like a hypocritical wuss. He says he's convinced Bush is responsible for murdering millions and is a traitor to America, and the best he can muster is to curse the guy out? Yeah, you sure showed him. Bush no doubt went home and cried, and is now terrified of going out in public ever again.

Sorry, if you really believe that Bush is such a monster but lack the resolve or nerve to use anything more than harsh language when face to face with him your part of the problem. This guys impotent rage and indignation do NOTHING to reduce or diminish the crimes he is decrying.

It's actually quite hard in that situation to do anything more than stare dumbly when the object of your political hate suddenly appears. They're still just people, after all.

Regardless of how well he handled it, the kid has balls for doing it, and yes, people are waking up - good vid.
