America's 2nd Revolutionary War

[MUSIC PLAYING] ALEX JONES: Politicians are there to lie and deceive and to continually trick the people into never getting control of their society again. They are there to keep the elites in power. They are there for the upper class to wage war against the middle class and the working class. It's the two parties teamed up against the people, two wings on the same bird of prey. Instead of looking at the wings all day, let's talk about the head, the beak, the guts of this thing, its mind, its eyes, what it believes, what this bird does. This is tyranny. This is what globalism is. We want a new world order? It's the banks that engineered the collapse and they're bragging about it. Folks, what we know is off the chart crazy. Imagine what we don't know because truth is strange, ladies and gentlemen. RYAN DUFFY: So we started shooting this piece in the spring of 2009. President Obama had just been elected and was enjoying really high approval ratings. And most people were still holding out hope that we could get through the economic crisis and things would be back to normal soon. But as we traveled across the country, we began the kind of sense that there was something else stirring under the surface. There was this growing movement of people who really feared the government and rejected this idea of hope all together. -Be out here and show people that we-- I've never protested anything in my life. This is the first time. RYAN DUFFY: Oh, really. This is the first time. -This is the first time. RYAN DUFFY: Wow. -But I see a need for it and I'm going to be here until the last petal falls. RYAN DUFFY: More and more folks were starting to listen to people like Alex Jones. -[INAUDIBLE] ALEX JONES: Come on, people. The elite are going for broke. The level of crimes and looting and corruption they have engaged means they were going all the way to the-- RYAN DUFFY: They believed we were standing on the edge of a total collapse and they were getting ready to fight in the second American Revolution. [MUSIC PLAYING] CHRIS HEDGES: It's the end of an era. We live in a state of collective self delusion. My name is Chris Hedges. I graduated from seminary at Harvard Divinity School, did not get ordained. I spent almost 20 years of my life as a foreign correspondent, eventually, 15 of them with the New York Times. I came back to United States, ran afoul of my employer over the issue of the Iraq War. I was told not to speak out against the war or I would lose my job. And faced with that choice, I left the paper. I write books. And when I'm not doing that, I'm a soccer dad. Conspiracy theories become a way to explain the chaos of a world people don't understand. What conspiracy theorists don't grasp is that the elite is also inept. And conspiracy theorists frighten me because they can't read reality any more than people who naively believe that a corrupt elite is going to bring back the salad days of casino capitalism can read reality. And the worse it gets, the less people can confront it because it's painful. SGT. CHARLES DYER: American patriots, you may or may not agree with what I'm about to say. This is not the time for reservation or political correctness. What lies before us is of grave concern to freedom. Because of what your chance to lose by remaining silent, silence shouldn't even be an option. My name is Sergeant Charles Dyer. I'm a United States Marine, an Oath Keeper, and a constitutional patriot. I entered the Marine Corps in 1998 at the tender age of 17. Back then I was *** and vinegar and ready for a fight, I guess. I didn't care about politics. I was all about following orders and doing what I was told and fighting for freedom across the globe, I suppose, as any young marine would. I'm actually very new to the resistance movement. I've probably only been awake with the situation for maybe the last year or so. It's the targets. The patriot movement is basically consisting of all kinds of different organizations all across the United States. You're looking at militias or maybe the American resistance movement, the umbrella organization. You may have the Ohio militia, or Michigan militia or, whatever militias all over the place. Citizens militias like in San Diego, they're all under the patriot movement. And we're trying to take back this Republic and restore this Republic like it's supposed to be, what it was intended from our founders. We're here to meet gsbamerica from YouTube. His name's-- well, I guess I probably shouldn't say his name, huh? gsbamerica from YouTube. JALIRA: Hello. SGT. CHARLES DYER: How are you doing today? JALIRA: Good, how are you? I'm Heather. This is the first time we've ever met, I mean, besides YouTube. We've talked on the phone and we've emailed plenty. But everybody gets real excited about YouTube stars. I'm Jalira on YouTube. SGT. CHARLES DYER: That's our biggest weapon now, the internet. That's getting the word out so fast. I think that's where I probably woke up at, watch stuff on the net. GSBAMERICA: And if even a quarter of the stuff we read is true, then we've got problems. SGT. CHARLES DYER: Just the stuff that you can prove is-- we know we have problems with the globalization, them saying they want a new world order. They want a global government. They want everything to be under one law, you know. When you start delving into some of this stuff-- and it's not hard to get on a path of just-- it makes you crazy, learning all the crap that happens in this country. -I don't understand what's going on. We've got to wake the people up to realize that our country is just going down the tubes and our government is doing it. I see if something is not done very quickly to stop Obama and Pelosi and everything else going on, I can guarantee you, we're going to be in a civil war in a very short time. But I will fight. Deport Illegals. End the deficit in California. -No bail out for Mexico. -So anyway, I have a guest here. He wanted to talk to you guys just about the Oath Keepers. And I don't know if everybody knows who the Oath Keeprs. -Yes. -Yeah, they're awesome. They give me a lot of hope. SGT. CHARLES DYER: All right, I see a lot of older faces around here. How many of you guys are military? Military? I All right, Oath Keepers, that's the organization that I'm apart of and we try to touch out to active and former military and law enforcement, anybody's who taken an oath to defend the Constitution, try to make them realize that the oath they took doesn't expire. So for you older gentleman, too, you may think I'm too old. There's nothing I can do, right? That's wrong. This is bigger than the immigration problem. Right now, the United States government and governments all over the world are trying to bring in globalization. I don't know if any of you have ever heard the term new world order. They're trying to bring in a new world order and destroy our sovereignty. That is a direct attack on the Constitution of this United States. That means that they are the domestic enemy that I swore to defend and fight against to defend my Constitution. And I'm willing to put my life on the line to defend this country. And I'm asking that anybody who's taken the oath to do the same. And it doesn't matter your age. So that's all that I really want to talk to you guys about today. And I thank you all for coming out here. ALEX JONES: This is very exciting. Oath Keeprs just started a few months ago, Stewart Rhodes, former Airborne Ranger in the army, worked for the Ron Paul campaign at the highest levels, got upset about what was happening with the new world order after the campaign ended, knew that things were intensifying. And he understood that tyranny will come to your door in a uniform. -Welcome to Lexington, the cradle of American liberty. ALEX JONES: So perfect timing with the first big Oath Keepers meeting coming up on the green in Lexington where it all started in 1775, April 19th. SGT. CHARLES DYER: We went to Lexington Green. What we were there to do was just to let people know about Oath Keeprs and what Oath Keepers were and what it was to keep an oath and not just take an oath because there's a big difference between them. -[INAUDIBLE] -Pledging my life-- -Pledging my life-- -My fortune-- -My fortune-- -And my sacred-- -It's where the first shots of the revolution were fired. The first revolution, not the new, second, upcoming revolution. LTD CMDR GUY CUNNINGHAM: --studies that when I took the oath of office to uphold and defend the constitution of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic, I knew in my heart what I meant when I raised my hand and swore to it. -Yeah. [APPLAUSE] STEWART RHODES: You see the need to stand up and say, look-- I get letters all the time from people that are terrified and concerned and worried that the military's going to be used against them. And I saw that during Bush. There were Democrats that were upset about that and rightly so, looking at the rhetoric of the Bush administration. Now, you got Obama in there. And now you've got people on the conservative side who are waking up. And the reason why they're so afraid is because they all understand that power was grown so much and the constraints on government has been eroded so much that they are all vulnerable. When one guy's in charge, then the other guys are terrified. When their guy's in charge, then their terrified. ALEX JONES: With every successive month that follows, more and more people wake up to the two puppet system. There's a puppet on the left, a puppet on the right. Wait, it's one guy holding both puppets. I don't like that guy. CHRIS HEDGES: There's no dispute among the supposed spectrum between the left and the right, between Democratic and Republican over the core ideology that is raping the country. So corporatism is about as close to unmitigated evil as you can get because it has built into it a kind of logic of increasing profits without any regard for the human cost. We've destroyed our country. We've decimated our working class. We are in the process of decimating our middle class. We've created an American oligarchy. We are allowing corporate powers to destroy the ecosystem that sustains the human species. Nobody is stepping up, least of all Barack Obama, to stop it. And we are diverted by bread and circus. If you doubt it, just watch what passes for news. STEVE DOOCY: Hello, everybody. I'm Steve Doocy with your FOX Flash. The octomom and her mother, the octo grandma, face off in a heated online interview. -You already have six beautiful children. -You need to learn to let go. -Why would you do this? -But you need to learn to let go. -So I will never understand. BARACK OBAMA: He's sleeping inside the White House. -Is he going to be in a bed? BARACK OBAMA: Not in my bed. -Recently, we've made some life changing decisions. CHRIS HEDGES: Given the gravity of the situation around us, it would almost be amusing if it wasn't so dangerous. That's how empires die. And we're dying. We're dying. SGT. CHARLES DYER: Let me ask you a question. Would you follow the Constitution against any orders, even if the President gives an order? You would stay with the constitution and defend it? -Yes. SGT. CHARLES DYER: Then he is an Oath Keeper. There you go. It's that simple. All right, now we're at Escondido, California at Mr. Paint Ball. And we come out here to play air soft and do a little training and stuff. I normally meet some militia members from San Diego. Some of my guys help train their guys since all my guys are marines and they're all civilians. We need a citizen militia. We need a citizen militia to defend us from the government, basically. That's the only reason we have the Second Amendment is to defend the American people and our country from a tyrannical government, which is what we're heading toward right now. Watch that left flank, now. We are definitely the guardians of the Republic and the last stand if something comes down because the military, they fall under the UCMJ and a lot of people will follow any order just for fear of being thrown to prison and put in the brig. There's a lot of us that will defy orders as long as it's for the Constitution and defense of the Constitution. We know what this is all about. We know why we're here. And we're very strong in our beliefs and our convictions. They need to realize that the reasons we're in Iraq and Afghanistan right now are not as good as people think they are. Right now we're doing nothing other than feeding the industrial military complex and creating debt for the Federal Reserve, which isn't even a federal organization, so that they can enslave us and control us. So join the military? Depends on what you want to do with it. Me, I'm going to use my training from the military and, I suppose, become one of those domestic terrorists that we're so afraid of from the DHS and their reports. Ridiculous. -Remember, I got detained and searched while I was in uniform. SGT. CHARLES DYER: Really? -Last day service uniform, two ribbons on my breast, my freaking [INAUDIBLE] badge and all. I got detained, Dallas, Fort Worth, on my lay over. Searched my bag. Searched my gear. Searched everything. SGT. CHARLES DYER: We are definitely targets now, military. We are targets. And that is sad. That's sad. I've been to Iraq. I've been deployed. I've got nothing but the strongest feelings for my country. Having marines die over there and then we come home and those *** want to talk about how we're domestic terrorists and a threat to this country. It makes me so angry. It just saddens me to think that we come back and we're treated like that by our government. You know, I got one of my marines right here being detained for hours because he's in uniform trying to get through the metal detectors in an airport? It's ridiculous. Ridiculous. Things have to change. It can't go on like this. Something has to be done. ALEX JONES: I've got this breaking news. National security watch, 60 right wing terror plots foiled in the ten years since the '95 Oklahoma City bombing killed 168 people. By the way, that was a federal bombing. We've proven that. Roughly 60 right wing terrorist plots have been uncovered in the United States according to an upcoming report of the Southern Poverty Law Center's intelligence project. The media's saying the Tea Parties are evil terrorists who are basically cop killers is what they're trying to say. And they're a bunch of right wingers when it isn't about left and right. They're desperate to divide the American people. CINDY MALLETTE: Barack Obama's Department of Homeland Security, you may have heard, is trying to classify us as right wing extremists, trying to warn people to be aware of people like us. -Boo. CINDY MALLETTE: Yeah, boo. The real people we need to be fearing are our so called elected officials in Washington D.C. -Amen. CINDY MALLETTE: That's right. -I do not believe in political correctness. And if somebody-- I don't care if he wears a badge or a gun or what. If he does something wrong, I'm going to be right in his face telling him. And, well, I guess I'm a terrorist because I'm pro-life. -Say one word and they mow you down. -Yeah, you know-- -They'll mow you down. -Die for God. Die for the right reasons and it's OK. -Somebody just came up to the stage and said we have pictures of them taking pictures of us. Just call me paranoid, but that just doesn't look like the local news network. Let them know you're not a threat, you have a valid driver's license on you, and your passport is safely at home, and you love America. Isn't that perfect? There's a bald eagle and there's Homeland Security. Everybody just wave at them real big so they get a good picture of us. ALEX JONES: It says the number one threat is returning troops, gun owners, people buying all these guns and ammo. This is the number one terror threat. That is a quote. And they have really upset people. CHRIS HEDGES: Alienation and anger is one that is very common among returning veterans. You saw it after the Vietnam War. You're seeing it with these guys, men and women that are coming back. And when you couple that with a societal breakdown that essentially denies them the possibility of reintegrating into the society, then you are very volatile and toxic mix. SGT. CHARLES DYER: It's like Vietnam. It's not a winnable war. It's just sustainable. The longer we stay over there, the more debt they can put on us. Look at-- what did the President say? We were going to be out of there as soon as he got in office pretty much? How long has he been president now? And we're still in Iraq. I saw some stuff over there that kind of changed my mind. We lost a good marine. I sat there and I kept staring at the bodies that were laying around. And it kind of hit me that these guys are nothing but me. They're not terrorists. They're guys that are defending their country. They're not terrorists. The guys in Afghanistan, they're not terrorists. They're defending their country from a foreign invasion. We create terrorists. You come into my house and you kill my wife, you kill my daughter, you kill any part of my family, and I'm probably going to strap on a suicide vest, go to one of your checkpoints. So that's what we're creating over there in my mind. That's all I have to say about that situation for the moment. CHRIS HEDGES: When you go into combat, you come back, you not only suffer from trauma, but if you become self aware, you suffer a tremendous existential crisis. You realize that all the things you were taught by both religious and secular institutions are a lie. And it's very, very hard to adjust because when you come back that truth, the kind of prophetic truth, is very difficult for people who have not been to war to hear. You are really a stranger in a strange land. SGT. CHARLES DYER: Patriots, we are not overpowered. If we unite under one banner of freedom and fight for our children's liberty and the defense of the Constitution, our resolve is invincible to any standing army. They might be able to take the very breath from our lungs, but they can never rip the freedoms from our souls. CHRIS HEDGES: Rhetoric and language is not benign. You have to get people to talk in the language of violence before they commit violence. -Good evening, ladies and gentleman, [INAUDIBLE] town watchmen. I got one question to begin this video. I mean, you got to ask yourself, tonight, are you felling lucky new world order? -It's all part of a plan that's been in the works for many years, the new world order. And I just want to be a part of this. I'm really more of a follower. -I think that more women, especially young women, need to get more involved in this, probably going out and learning how to work the Mosberg Model 88 pump action 12 gauge shot gun to protect yourself. And we need to fight alongside our men and our friends and our families for our freedom and the Constitution. -We don't play games. We quit school because it had a recess. You put us out of work and you stole our pensions. So we found us a new job. It's called chewing chewing gum and kicking butt. And guess what? I'm about on my last piece of chewing gum. And I know you've done strategic stuff. And I've got the documents right here in front of me. Let me move this 50 caliber right here, and I'll shell up your nose and blow you away if you mess with American patriot. -Now, listen, I love my country. And that's why I have to discourage people from joining the military with this guy in the White House. If you want to protect your country, join them or start a militia. But you don't want Obama to be your commander in chief. CHRIS HEDGES: So you have these forces unleashed and amplified by a mass media in a society that stands on the cusp of disintegration. And remember that within American society there's a deep undercurrent of violence. SGT. CHARLES DYER: Back in the 90's there was a militia movement where a lot of people got together doing the same thing that we're doing now, training. A lot of it was more weekend warriors, really, though because as soon as Timothy McVeigh and those *** clowns went and blew up buildings and killed innocent children. And the government tries to blame the militia movement for that. No matter what, in any movement, any group, there's always going to be crazies. There's always going to be the people that are extreme one way or the other and they think that killing people, just killing people period is going to make a difference. And it's not. It's absolutely not. ALEX JONES: For those that don't understand this, we are at a historic crossroads. And I can see in their eyes and their actions, I realize they're actually intimidated. They realize that they've put their criminal action into motion. It's a machine they can't turn off. And I think they're starting to brace for the fact-- I mean, it's like when you get into fights. Some bully punches you and then you gear up and start punching back. And you can tell you're going to whip their ***. I mean, that's the feeling right here. We are going to lick the new world order's butt. SGT. CHARLES DYER: There's no way we're going to be able to get [INAUDIBLE] unless we go way back here. There's some people that think something's going to happen within the next two months. There's some people that think something's going to happen in two years. There's some people that think nothing will ever happen. So, I guess, time is the only thing that can answer that. CHRIS HEDGES: We are headed to civil unrest. We have dis-empowered our working class and there are whole pockets now in the United States that resemble the third world, where the end of the world is no longer an abstraction. Violence is a kind of cleansing agent because the world around them is one that has betrayed them and that they hate. And that is the lure of apocalyptic violence. It eradicates what almost destroyed me. SGT. CHARLES DYER: I just want to ask the American people to wake up and see what's going on around you. Walk outside and stop playing your video games. Stop watching your TV. CHRIS HEDGES: In a corporate state the interests and needs of citizens don't matter. You need to destroy the machine because if we don't destroy the machine, the machine's going to destroy us. It is destroying us. SGT. CHARLES DYER: Vote and become politically involved or start a militia, which is very important. Do something. Do something to make yourselves better and more prepared for what may be coming. CHRIS HEDGES: Violence isn't going to work. Violence is a mistake. Machine wants violence, it justifies further oppression. SGT. CHARLES DYER: I'm not going to be hiding from my command anymore. And I'm sure not hiding from ATF. I'm not hiding from FBI. I'm not hiding from any organization. If they want to come take me, I'm not going to be afraid. If I'm afraid to that point, we're in a tyrannical government in the first place and people need to rise up. At that point, there needs to be a violent revolution. [MUSIC PLAYING]
