I would like to inquire why you imply in your video that the US should not have intervened in ww2. Would it have been right to allow Fascist Germany to attempt to take over Europe and Russia without US aid or intervention, knowing the atrocities of Hitler and his regime? Do you think the US was justified in declaring war upon Japan after Pearl Harbor? Do you believe war is ever justified under any circumstances? You seem to imply that war is synonymous with evil. Do you believe this?

You imply towards the end of your video by saying, "that war is necessary for security" in a tone that suggest that this is not so. This begs a logical question. How else is a civilization suppose to go about defending itself if war is no longer an option for defense? Any student of history knows the use of force is always necessary for the security of any civilization. Granted, all wars are not over defense. However, the option of war must always remain open as a viable means of security.

Why does speaking the truth become a treasonist act in so many small minds?

most of this is blown out of proportion and wrong. I am not saying all of these decisions were right or moral, but it was not only to conqueer or destroy. Too bad sophisticated people dont spend their day on youtube. O yeah, right, thats how america functions so the economy works and we can buy that xbox and waiste even more time accomplishing nothing.

Yes today the religion of Corporatism,has chosen as its new logo a Black Emperor. The stock (aka the American people) are told of great change and prosperity, even as the internatinal bankers execute their plans of economic collapse and centralzation of world power.People still think America is "free" and they are not slaves.

Sad little man. Monday morning armchair commentary. Never one to deride real monsters whos actions at the time history challenged human kind futrue. Useless Second Guessers all. All First Class Activists and Second Class Minds. Go speak to the soft souls in exclusive salons. They know where your nerve endings lay. Leave those of us alone to do the work at hand not seeking the immediate approval of actors, editors and frightened academics.
