The Doomsday Machine | Daniel Ellsberg | Talks at Google

- With recent news stories about big red buttons and a blockbuster movie (The Post) about the Pentagon Papers, Daniel Ellsberg's story is very timely. He's the legendary whistle-blower who revealed the Pentagon Papers, and his book is an eyewitness exposé of the dangers of America's Top Secret, seventy-year-long nuclear policy that continues to this day.
Framed as a memoir--a chronicle of madness in which Ellsberg acknowledges participating--this gripping tale reads like a thriller and offers feasible steps we can take to dismantle the existing "doomsday machine" and avoid nuclear catastrophe. The Doomsday Machine is thus a real-life Dr. Strangelove story and an ultimately hopeful--and powerfully important--book about not just our country, but the future of the world.

Daniel Ellsberg is the best kind of hero. He saves lives, my life and tens of thousands
perhaps hundred of thousands of lives. I probably would have died in Vietnam if it
were not for this man. It is my fervent hope he shall go on to save hundreds of millions
of lives by so bravely speaking out on these threats to humanity heeded his words!
!
I finished up an hour long interview with Daniel Ellsberg 2 hours ago. The interview was going to be added to my school documentary project about the Pentagon Papers but by now I had already shared it with my class. It was an unforgettable experience listening to what he had to say and learning new things. He gave me a new perspective on the world.
Mr. Ellsberg. You were my hero then, and still are to this day. I am 70. I have a Vietnamese wife that I have been trying to get immigrated to here. I was part of the antiwar folks that forced Nixon's minions to circle the wagons around the Whitehouse with the cities buses during the Nov.4th and 5th moratorium demonstrations. The tear and mustard gas deployed around Dupont Circle at that time created clouds. The winds even sent gases back to the Whitehouse. At 70 yrs old. I'd do it again.Thank you for being you.
Why a Vietnamese wife ... and at 70, how young is she? I agree with your right to demonstrate against an immoral war.
@@mypearl53 she is 35 and believes she is over the hill. That is one part of the culture I am not real happy with. Vietnamese women operate under the notion that if not married by 18. Your chances of getting married are zip to none.
Have you read any of Trumps passed legislation?
@@Garandmasthumb What legislation would you be talking about?
FASAB statement 56

Ect.....
Action is always better than words. As Assange, Snowden, Manning and others showed us in this decade, it takes only one to change the world.
There are BILLIONS of us.
The powers that be are playing whack-a-mole with whistle-blowers.
Unfortunately, that means many have to be willingly to get whacked in order that others may overwhelm them.
Assange is probably a criminal, but Snowden & Manning deserve respect for following their conscience....
Assange is, as we speak, being imprisoned, very possibly for life, and his is most certainly at risk
fanforever ... yes sounds OK, the only thing is that Manning, Snowden .. and a hundred other that might come along, I don't see any changes at all
Its the moment WE understand,WE are a big ONE . Materialism, greed. Cognitive disonance , .....people with 500.000.000 on their bank account dont have to feed the poor right? .....so nothing is going to change , no matter how hard we blow any whistle
A real world HERO!! What the world would be if people had courage like him. weve had a minuscule amount of people with this courage.
The truth is always dangerous to those who live by lies
Yes, and they aren't afraid to kill to prevent themselves "losing face" or having to "rue" - I speak as a victim of such people, who are extremely dangerous not because they are human and wicked, but because they have sold their soul to the Deuille and have demons instead of a soul, so that you're not dealing with human beings, but with soulless zombies.
@@richardlitwin4046 you took it to an entirely different level. Dang.
@@fraa888grindr7 I was listening to Jordan Peterson and he mentioned the stage in your life's journey when you encounter "evil people" and it is such that I am referencing here. I have been up close and personal with several people who really hate me, and I don't mean women, I mean males, who have been so stupid and blind as not to realise that God looks after his children especially his blind and vulnerable ones, like I am. And what did the Doctor say? Hate is always foolish, love is always wise.
@@richardlitwin4046 Oh I was not debating your claim, but simply pointing out that you took it to the place most aren't willing to go.
As for some truth and irony - Google and Alphabet both are enemies of society. As we see their cooperation with the dictators of China, Turkey and many nations, building surveillance and illegal spy-software to monitor citizen.

In the wake of domestic terrorist attacks in the US, signs were put up " if you see something, say something". Should this not also apply to whistle blowers?
Bullseye
The government always wants to make itself the exception to accountability.
dude, no, we dont do that here
SAY SOMETHING--- so they can come and SILENCE YOU/ SMEAR YOU
Kerry...We are in an inverted world. HELL ON EARTH.
I don't bother watching horror movies because people like Daniel Ellsberg scare me far more deeply than they ever could.
Daniel Sheehan was the lawyer who saved reporters from having to give up their sources.
amazing to have this guy still around. and online. cuz ya. back in his day having an answering machine was high teck.
Thanks---a brave great man.
No, a poison pill dropper
He'd be dead if he was doing anything. Just more distraction from the real issues.
@@lukereeves3711 'He'd be dead if he was doing anything'. Yeah, he only defied the full might of the U.S. government, risked life in prison to try to stop an unjust war. But you make snide remarks on TH-cam. Guess which one of you was 'doing anything'? Ellsberg already did his part. He is 86.
i've said it before & i'll say it again...over & over...You are a Hero, Daniel & i am proud to call you friend.....You, dear sir..for these many long years have been The inspiration for millions of us, generations of faceless nameless ghosts who exist only to expose their dark agendas....and, to kill the doomsday machine. We never sleep. in Gratitude, We Salute You.
A very timely message. Thanks for sharing it.
You got raptured yesterday, Report to the appropriate station
He is evil and you are stupid
Bullocks
Danial Ellsberg, the VOICE OF WISDOM.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
His presentation was scary, very
Informative and inspiring. Present and
Future generations should heed the
WARNING “leadership isn’t the only ones that should decide, the people should tell the leadership how to proceed.
Leonard Cohen the great Canadian poet singer said, "you are not going to like what comes after America." World war 3 is coming. No way to escape it. For those of you that have children and little ones, love them every second of every day. To those without children think long and hard of what their lives will be.
Daniel Ellsberg is a real Hero and deserves the respect of a real American Hero. Thank you so much for your Service and especially for all your Sacrifice's. Most people will never understand what you did but there are hundreds of thousands that do.
Darn good talk. ...Finally understand why Ellsberg was called (by Kissinger), the "Most Dangerous Man". ...Some eye-openers for sure.
It was Kissinger that called him "Most Dangerous Man".
@@gregk.6723 he was called the most dangerous man by Henry Kissinger
KISSINGER, the Jewish NAZI , was dangerous himself

Amazing mind at 86.
Yes, as we men lose 50% of our brain by weight at 70 years,
Women only lose 33% of their brain by weight at 70 years,
BTW, Trump has lost 65% of his brain by weight thanks to his diet & cocaine...
God Bless you Daniel, God Bless America.
That must have been a hellish time for Ellsberg. A hero. I am a whistle blower and cannot get anyone to listen to what I say,, since it involves, senators, government officials, police and judges. No one wants to take it on, and even the AG sent my complaint back to the current city I filed complaint and told them to investigate their own corrupt police department in a city of 7 thousand or so. We have no Internal Investigations department, and our former administrator had several felonies on his history, so how did he get hired? Looks to be deep and connected. The head of the State Police said they do not investigate corrupt cops or police departments. Told me to see the prosecuting attorney in my area??? They have a criminal charge for my texting neighbor to stop raping his dogs. He can block my texts or deny and say stop but it is a set up to get me back in to the court to try to discredit me again, get a eval by their favored psychologist who has others witnesses in psych units. Hae warrant for my arrest cause I did not show up for first hearing when I was never served. One six day cert mail at address I do not get mail. Set up again. Did this before and had no charge agaisnt me but attorneys didn;t tell me. Exparte orders. Changing recordings of hearings. reading over part judge admitted to signing ex parte order. The DA, judge and my attorney read a script over an actual court recording, Lock the door of the court when my hearing and make every one leave!!!
All related to theft, and racketeering. They have put people, witnesses, in psych units having them labeled as mentally ill, called kidnapping. Police ignored 60 thefts in seven months with witnesses and fingerprints, had closed meeting the victims demanded to meet with administration and info kept from public, and local paper will not disclose email handed out at the closed meeting in council chambers, quoting people but states it was not recorded. Right. They have tried to kill me cutting the tow bar on the carrier holding my car, and grace of God I took an unplanned exit at last second possible when carrier broke through and car flying to and fro. Would have been killed on highway and anyone near me at grave risk. Need an investigator or journalist as it is a story that would get recognition if you had enough security with you.
it was..still is actually.....he's a haunted man.......here is a good accounting...and a place you may perhaps blow your whistle..along with many of us...together, besides the obvious safety in numbers, we are making a Lot of noise that IS getting heard...and that is the whole point of blowing our whistles, isn't it.
I've got a whistle to blow, but it's regarding the Illuminati - I am "Opportunity" and despite rumours of my death, I am alive. They did actually kill me, but God raised me from the dead. The Illuminati finished with me on 16th Jan 2015 but threw me to my "enemies" whom I hadn't thought about for years, they had been "biding their time" but now the Illuminati see the folly of their actions, because these "enemies" of mine carry with them all the info against the Luminies that I won't advertise, they are doing it for me, all the while they don't understand why or how because they're too stupid. This has turned from being a tragedy to a farce to a comedy. Lechayyim.
Judann Pec If you have a corrupt leader it stands to reason you will have corrupt people in charge of corrupt offices and honesty will be ridiculed and people like you will be ignored. It is sad what is happening to America in such a short space of time, since the last Presidential election. We have lost respect Worldwide, our Congress representatives are showing us who they really represent and we see money becoming the most important issue in being able to run for President instead of honesty and integrity. When even Bloomberg is spending over 400 million a shot...you have to be crazy or incredibly stupid to not see that our elections are bought not decided by voting. States are tossing voters off the lists faster than you can keep track of despite the thousands from the Midwest WI, to, well just about any state you can name these days.Sad times in America 😔🇺🇸
The disrespect shown to this great man by some of the (timely) people of Google utterly disgusts me.
He IS a sacrificial lamb. Populous-Ignorance has a price. You can’t take some to goodness and freedom because our education system is dumbing down The populous!
@daniel letterman he's talking about each time the speaker was interrupted by a "hand wave" from the back, presumably one of the Google employees making sure he knew how short his time left was. These constant interruptions can be interpreted as disrespectful, and understandably so considering the weight of a topic such as this.
The man seems to get side tracked at the slightest distraction, and because of the Google man in the back, there has been many... quite rude.
Which brings us to Wikileaks
both - limited hangouts in the venetian tradition... but the guy learned... stayed at the end in touch with reality... listen to his warnigs without fearmongering...
I took the same oath as did the man who wrote "War is a Racket"
For the purposes of our oath to defend the Constitution, it is important to remember that Gen. Butler's greatest contribution was to save the United States from a coup of its government by Nazis in the corporate class. Gen. Butler gave our country a reprieve from tyranny and that reprieve has been squandered. It's time for someone else to step up and uphold that oath, or better yet, for us all to.
His statement at 45:00 shows his strength of character.
Regarding Nuclear war.

Why no Nobel Peace Prize, yet?
Because that prize is just political bullshit that shouldn't exist because nowadays it's rarely given to truly diserving peoples
Great question. Yet Obama got one 🙄🙄🙄

Threads was shown on the BBC way back in the late 1980s and it is far better made and realistic than the day after, its set around the effect of an attack on the British City of Sheffield and follows the effects for the next 20 years. A very disturbing docudrama
Yes indeed, very very disturbing, makes me want to cry just remembering it.
Never knew about movie “Ellsberg and the pentagon papers”
Mac Author said “never get into a ground war in Asia.
yep, lots of horrible decisions in that one.
Thumbs up for that beginning statement
39:00 we have a doomsday machine TODAY
it's the same old nuclear winter hoax rephrased
Doomseday was yesterday, you missed it
Actually that's true. They developed a certain type of bomb with a specific isotope of cobalt that, if detonated in the atmosphere, would spread lethal doses of radiation across the planet. The catch is that it would take like 400 of these bombs.
@@Lord_Volkner that was never tested by west, Israelis made a small test and scrapped it due to 10x less radiation then thought by western theorists
reading critically through (antiwar and antinuclear) nuclear literature you tend to find very strong editorializing about the negative impacts that are almost universally worst case scenarios and roundups. You tend to find scientists round up every number they can to exaggerate the percieved blowback and collateral damage so as to discourage nuclear war.
In reality, USA and Russia already have and have used nuclear level strenght bombs that use conventional explosives and nothing even approaching the collateral damage happened.
For example the most casualty inducing thing the "fire damage" cited in literally 100% of sources is taken from rounded up (incorrect) numbers of 1945 bombings of tightly packed paper walls Japanese buildings and utterly uncritically disregarding the fact that MANY animals survived close range nuclear bombs on ships and changes in architecture. It also disregards the lessons from massive volcano eruptions that are hundreds of times of Czar bomba which only very lightly impacted agriculture etc.
Basically the scientists are butchering the science and academic honesty to discourage war planning. Just like most of scientific community is willingly surpressing the Race and IQ facts from being discussed, recieving publicity or adjusting lectures and related stuff. There is literal politically motivated opposition to discussing the impact of these nastytruths and adjusting public or military policy in accordance.
Their audiences, both not on level in an academic sense and raised in a very pacifism dominated times have no inner motivation to really question the "futility and unwinnable nature of a nuclear war", it is taken as a given.
@@utvara1 Well, I think its a good thing that they never tested the doomsday device. And it's not a conventional nuke. I read about it _Tragedy & Hope_ by Quigley. A very long history book, but well worth the read if you enjoy history. Impossible to read, if you don't.
No one wants to believe the sky is falling until a falling chunk cracks your head open.
Daniel Ellsberg's story is very timely. He's the legendary whistle-blower :| QC
Being a victim of overt stalking sucks . Glad to see he hasn't killed himself
Glad he did not shoot himself 3 times in the head ( a suicide ).
@@koulster2 You are very naive, as i read somewhere of a similar story of another whistleblower's death being ruled a suicide.
Plenty of "strange and mysterious deaths" on other You Tube channels.
Vince Fosters death was very strange in Clinton Administration.
@@coiledsteel8344
Coiled thanks for the education. I realise that I am naive.
What fantastic incredible work this man has done! And after hearing all about these utter idiots in power I think it's a miracle we are still here.
54:26 bravo Daniel, man you are The Man. 🙌👏👏👏👏👏👏
September ll, 2019 Daniel Ellsberg should do a one hour speech focused on the 1983 t.v. movie 'The Day After' about what the Super Rich have planned, underground cities for only themselves.
Everything of relative importance should be 100% transparent via technology &/or however else, as opposed to secret systems designed from false layers of responsibility & blame......Everybody knows this, so Why isn't it so? hint: just follow the BIG $ !
Secrets are actually a big part of the problem. Most things, once you take the profit drive and the power-mongering out, are better off out in public. The one good thing about Chump is that he has no filter between whatever he uses for a brain and that hole in his face that noise comes out of, so we learn the things that used to be kept secret. Stuff like our little attempt at overthrowing the legitimate government of Venezuela, which probably would have succeeded if it had remained in the dark. Stuff like our saber-rattling in Iran and at China.
realcygnus
Wait until you become powerful enough . When power and control is involved even the most trivial aspects should be bend to meet the need of the moment . Transparency as such is not really possible since no society would remain stable when everything is out in the open . In order for the hierarchy to remain stable truth must be stretched and controlled
@@kazkk2321 Transparency cannot be any more destabilizing than the profit motives of a few driving the narrative of government along with motives for warfare. No more destabilizing than discovering your trusted government has been lying to you or has been found supremely corrupt in some instance. It can be argued that our current polarization is due to distrust of current levels of authority, elected and otherwise, and rightly so. I find that those that push against transparency tend to be fear driven (of change), are more susceptible to false narratives pushed by a government or authority figure and therefore less capable of giving good advice. Alternately, they hold themselves smarter or more important than others. Advances I wish to be a part of come from innovation and thoughtfulness that stem from discovery of new truths, social, scientific and cultural that are not restricted by dogma let alone deliberate obfuscation of facts by benevolent benefactors.
sorry googlers - I find your agenda very creepy... but sometimes - you hit it... his warnings are right and important.....
a lot of you have lost all connections to any ground....
only my nose and rudimentaer instinct says this to me...
48.37- everything is possible when psychopaths play with political and money power. Human intelligence has its limits when emotions run wild. We are all involved in social madness. On one side we have a tiny minority with money power, which means political power. On the other we have the masses with the number power but no hierarchy or organisations with a leadership to defeat those playing Russian roulette in politics. If everything is possible with humans then it is not foolish to believe that the people at large can change the game. The human consciousness is taking shape at a higher level for the last 20 years or so. The network of communication support such change regardless of the manipulation by most media’s. Such acquisition of knowledge to raise our consciousness about reality is a basic human right. This has been manipulated non stop by those having the upper hands on the power of money. Accumulation of money is possible only through the fraudulent system of private property of means of production and distribution. The masses produce the wealth but have no control over it. The vertical power top down confiscate it outright and decides as they please how to use it, and it is an ugly picture to deal with. The horizontal magma, that is all of us, the workers and low rank of society have to suffer the outrageous way the scoundrels in power mismanage the wealth we produce. America being the biggest economy in the world is also the biggest trouble maker in the world. The arrogance display by the US in all sectors of financial and commercial activities is unacceptable. The situation has reach a point where even the scoundrels in governments around the world who obey until now the directives of the US to avoid banking strangulation and commercial embargo of some sort or other organise themselves to avoid using the dollar and slowly succeed with various manœuvres that infuriate the US who, in their arrogance declare economical and financial sanctions. This reality doesn’t escape the attention of the people around the world who start having second thought about the US imperialistic attitudes. The knowledge of what the US has been doing to destroy any challenge to their hegemony over the last 70 years spread at the level of the horizontal magma at an unprecedented level and this is going to have serious effects in the social and political arena in due time. The scoundrels in power are very aware of this change taking place in the consciousness of the people at large and do their best to stop it through propaganda and repressive mesures of all kind. Corruption is in the increase of course, this is one of the method used to muzzle popular movements, the power of money is used at all levels. We are at war, the war is the class war, a deadly war, better understand its significance, ignorance kills.
The sad thing is that all throughout history it has always been liket this, and it will continue to be like this until Jesus comes back.
Jeremiah 10:23 man's way does not belong to him . It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step.
Patrice that was brilliant and spot on.
Gary & Gar, Jesus ain't coming to save anyone..... we are going to have to do that.
Hypocritical that this is here, yet Google wants to destroy dissent on TH-cam.

I think that's a facile analysis. They don't want to destroy it. It's just expedient to roll with the deep state / establishment consensus. See Chomsky, bitch
This guy is a wizard. Shields up
Thank you, take care of your health, colds shouldn’t last 6 weeks. This info is very valuable to me, and easy to comprehend.
54:53 THAT IS IT, DO NOT DO what Daniel did, DO NOT WAIT TILL PEOPLE ARE ALREADY GETTING KILLED.
I would add: DO NOT ASSUME ... (ok I won't complete this one: it won't make any difference: why should people listen if Daniel has failed for 40 years ... and Gautam Budhh since 560 B.C. or so). I almost got carried away.
i could still read what you didn't write...cos i've written many many such things myself, for decades...some of us still keep trying to save the world from it'self :) .....what you did write was beautiful, btw
I find it very easy to identify and define Evil. No equivocation there. Evil is as Evil does. And ignorance or self delusion are no defenses against it.
Why no mention of Assange, who also published classified material, but got it from someone else, Manning.
Funny thing he did in his other interview that I just looked at he mentions them said he was happy I don’t know what to make of this
Elllsberg had access to documents due to his clearances. Assange has not verified his sources and has, it's been said, even made up stuff. He does not have personal contact with the intel.
thank you
The US has now spent more on the Afghan adventure, than was spent on the Marshall Plan that rebuilt Europe

Brandon Fouts yes, the first questioner nailed it. Yes, my friend, there is no easy way to fight the powers that be. They cling to their power until it is pried out or loved out. Humanity may soon have to choose, like the choice that was before the Germans in the late 1930s.

Regrettably, Daniel Ellsberg rambles in this one hour presentation and only occasionally talks about his book, "The Doomsday Machine". Much better is Ellsberg's discussion, also available on TH-cam, conducted at The Commonwealth Club of San Francisco. Perhaps because the discussion is shaped, to some extent, by questions from the moderator, he says on topic and summarizes the main points of his book in the Commonwealth Club event. Ellsberg's points and insights are very important so I recommend the alternative TH-cam video.
Charles Salmans It’s a quality of the gray-haired that they may speak in a way that is inconvenient for those that look for something in particular to be said that addresses their own agenda. Listen between the lines of the “rambling.” The inexperienced must wait for it. Patience is a virtue.
An extinction event is a challenge for the job creators...
Daniel dear, do you think anyone is taking your FACTS seriously. If people took your facts seriously, there would have been an emotional response that is marked by depression depicted by pin drop silence. People hear you and still manage to laugh over the small funny incidents happening towards the end of your talk: psychologically humans never acknowledge small funny incidents in face of grave and real mass death facing in their faces.
I am sorry to have commented like this. I love humans when they laugh, but ... we are already dead. I won't say more. May my imaginary God/s of compassion take mercy and let us all sit and think with compassion.
Daniel a big Thank you for being a normal human and helping humanity. I shall always remember you as one of my own kin. I don't know if you got rewarded, you surely are worth more than any reward. Daniel I shall recreate your courage in my shivering heart and shall teach at least one kid to learn your courage and compassion.
I am sorry I heard nobody applause when you offered to help humanity by blocking any misadventure even if you got sentenced to death 44:47 . Boy o boy you are solid !! and the lack of response from one of the best audiences I could imagine (Google still says "Don't be evil") makes this the most tragic incident in my long life ( mind you I have lost all of my family, still I label this as the most tragic event in my speck of a life ... I am extremely disturbed by a Google audience not applauding or getting concerned enough ... only a true Zen master/s or psychologically damaged human/s can react to this talk the way this audience has ... I say this out of love and nothing other than love).
For the audience: I honestly don't have the capability to help you guys enough to GET REAL. I hope I don't ever meet any of you as it would break my bipolar heart.
America should never go to war that doesn’t put all this effort’s ,Men and money to win if we don’t have that commitment .

Berkeley football stadium), satellites, lasers, to do a Hiroshima, Nagasaki 1945 copy, anywhere, anytime, from their footfall field of laser machines (see the article in the mass mailer 'Cal State East Bay' with a cover of these machines. DEW Directed Energy Weapons to make firestorms jump over 8 lane freeways in seconds; so the Super Rich can take over land that insurance companies refuse to insure. All of this planned in 'Rockefeller Resilient Cities': interview the California city government expert Deborah Tavares (she lost family and friends in recent fires). The Far Right have brought the foreign wars home to the USA to look like wildfires caused by drought (caused by daily Geoengineering spraying). Geoengineering includes dumping of toxic dust into the oceans surrounding Florida, killing dolphins and manatees. Interview John Pilger about 'The Coming War on China' about the mass guinea pig tests on humans of radioactive bombing of the Bikini and Marshall Islands with fake friendship to xray the victims and enjoy their cancer development. This was done at Stanford Hospital, see the female baby, about 1957, her neck has a tumor about the size of a grapefruit, photo by the doctor Dr. Chester Trossman, graduate of Harvard during WWll. He delivered babies for the Navy. Interview the women (thousands) who have cancer of the neck, living near the Bikini and Marshall Islands, kicked out for the 2020 Space Fence and 'bussed back and forth' to work as slaves for the U.S. military to go back to slums on crowded bus boats every day. They just want their land back. The U.K. did the same thing to Africans on an island near India; the UK shot to death all their friendly Black Labrador Retrievers who helped them fish for hundreds of years; to make a base for war jets to take off and land, to load bombs to kill poor people.
It would be so easy to be an optimist but I am fearful of human nature. The coming age of robotics is being designed to serve commerce but without incentive it can just as easily be turned against the population. From unidentified sources I have heard disturbing terms like, “useless eaters” or that the ideal world's population would be 500 million for a Utopia. The current business plan is maximum capital extraction. People liberated
by robotics are being pushed to the curb. Very soon there will be nothing left but casinos, collection agencies and private prisons. A
brilliant tribute for man's ingenuity, a disaster for humanity.
Yes.
Sounds like something Hilitary or Kissinger would say.
Great Vietnam book: Bernard Fall’s "Street Without Joy".
Daniel Ellsberg, talking at Google about systemic Government Corruption, only sounds good in Theory! Google is Government and Government IS Corrupt. Therefore DE is Controlled Opposition for a very Corrupt Government who covertly Owns and Controls Google and these Perverted Googly Eyes ALL Over the Fascistic and/or Communistic PLANET!
Something that should have made the Pentagon Papers look like a clerical error is the expose by Nick Kurtz "KIll anything that moves". Out of the Nat'l Archives, you can find it right here at youtube with the right key words.
Amazing man! Thank you.
This is why people go to heaven❤😥. What is this world up to? ....or what are they up to?
11:00 Ellsberg issues with the Post. Movie doesn't even. Enticing Ellsberg was put on trial
The reason we have 37,000 nukes is because someone made a lot of money, not that we need that many.
Daniel is totally wrong on man made climate change.
This is sad because this subject to this point was clear and real.
The longest modern combat is the middle East beat ww2 by a few years I give it that
The tendency of pretending that any war is a defensive one shows two things. First of all is that the majority of people, at least in civilized countries, cannot be made to kill or be made to die unless they are first convinced that they are doing so in order to defend their lives and freedom; second, it shows that it is not difficult to persuade millions of people that they are in danger of being attacked, and hence, that they are called upon to defend themselves. Such persuasion depends most of all on a lack of independent thinking and feeling, and on emotional dependence of the vast majority of people on their political and or religious leaders.
The middle east seems to be a Thunderdome where people/children go and fight and DIE, For What? The whims of corrupt politicians and their political agenda? College tuition? What? And don't tell me, "Our Freedoms" 🤨 And try and understand that criticizing or detouring those people who sign up or would sign up, to die, to Serve the whims of those corrupt politicians, is Not an insult to those who have died, in which I Respect with the utmost, but serves as a Warning to the Living, Not to Blindly obey corrupt politicians...
I feel that the Best way we can honor our fallen soldiers, is to STOP creating so Many of them...
The military and the machine of war it produces and forces upon the world is Disgustingly Evil,
and it has gotten away with so much because of Patriotism of the American Empire.. That's what the Rich evoke and call to when it's time for the poor to bear the burden and Die for profits... Why is there such a lack of Empathy among Americans?
WAKE UP AMERICA!!!
Your government is corrupt, governments are Not for the people, Police do Not protect you, School does Not to educate you... Your banks are holding you as collateral, Your military is used to terrorize the world while your media keeps you distracted with mindless celebrity bullshit. Your wars are about resources and financial control. You have more in common with the people you're bombing than the Billionaire's that are ruling you... Nothing in this world operates the way you think it does. Privately Owned Banks (Federal Reserve, is No more Federal than Federal express) loan fiat $, The entire structure of civilization in the western world is a combination of Brilliantly Conceived and Well-Planned Schemes to direct the minds of the people to serve their perceived overlords. This Madness has to End. I will Always be Antiwar..

Wars are great and necessary . War is the main way technology improves and humanity is kept in touch with reality. War is one of the very few things that are good about humanity. It is better for humanity to become extinct than to turn into a bunch of hippies and anti war parasites like you.
@@kazkk2321 You make a lot of sense. We'll beam you up within the month.
its every time i watch podcast lectures, i realize i am different from others.these folks that are smarter than the average bear, the hubris to speak as they do, p ublicly....gives me a sore heart..a spinal tremor when it flashes into my mind that 70-90%of people are no sharper than they're and could be influenced by them. its the human dilemma of "take advantage, or try to teach".
that is why schools need to teach critical thinking
and parents
Please Attorney General legalize Separation! Please, please pretty please!!!

How did he get to talk to Google people? WOW, he might just make a huge difference.
So spry and fantastic. Good for him. Lucky them.
Fortunately for me, I've read Daniel Ellsberg's well-written and fascinating book, 'The Doomsday Machine'. His writing is far superior than is his verbal presentation, here, shocking me with facts (about General LeMay for example, his genocide of Tokyo (100,000 dead in just one bombing attack) and how arial bombing became a weapon against people (civilians) instead of against the military and its machines which they couldn't hit successfully etc.), providing pertinent insight into the workings of the DD-machine and into its misguided use (as a bullying tool) and just how very dangerous it is for you and me and the entire world and has been since the 50s. So DO, INDEED, read the book, take action and save the world. Thank you Mr. Ellsberg for making me very uncomfortable with the prospects of impending nuclear winter and a destroyed earth. If we do ever somehow survive this threatened omnicide I'll never believe that this survival would have been possible nor that it has been waiting all this time to explode in our faces for so very long and hasn't done so, yet.

X22 Report was showing as of Nov 21,2019 134,570 sealed indictments,14,957 unsealed indictments,313,793 Nonsealed indictments.
Let's see how brilliant Dave and Q are! We will know soon, at long last.
Can anyone explain Ellsberg's comments on segregation being right? The Confederate States have never been able to admit slavery was wrong, but segregation was right? Does he think because the people in the Confederate States don't believe they were wrong, society would somehow now be better if Segregation hadn't ended?
The difference between Franklin Roosevelt and Truman??? Historical records suggest a distrust between Roosevelt and Churchill, Roosevelt was ideologically opposed to a British empire resuming after WW2. He genuinely believed in self-determination.
Churchill did not believe India was even a national state, Putin holds the same view with Ukraine.
These words will probably cause controversy.
Of course there are many nuances to be taken into account. For example Churchill had a degree of moderation in his character and as a leader of a democratic nation, was subject to the will of the British people.
Putin is a cruel dictator and a rat. A massive difference.
US was the colonial power in Philipines.
what a bunch of bull yeah I don't know how to say hi to pod
Has anyone watched “the post” ?
the British went into Vietnam to help the french out after WW2,at the time the french had no troops and France was in disorder,along with japanese soldiers they pressed into service from prisoner of war.the Japanese and British soldiers proved very effective and had all but won...that is till the French came along and messed it up with troops with no experience and a bad attitude towards the native population.also when the USA got involved the relationship between the then PM and the President was not at its best.Britain was on the whole in a place were the British people would not stand to see more troops going to fight away from home so the then PM would not send troops.he did try to give advice (on the experience Britain had got from Malaysia which we had fought and won and also our time in Vietnam) but was told to mind his own business.so the USA got into a war that should and would have ended if the French had stayed away a little longer (but who is to say that with the the french troops not having the experience to run the colanie it would not have happened again at a later date)or maybe if the USA had taken British advice on how to conduct it.
1:00 talks about the movie the post.
September ll, 2019: Daniel Ellsberg should do a daily You Tube interview with Dane Wiggington of Geoengineeringwatch (he is an engineer and regrets having worked for Bechtel in San Francisco). He owns a successful solar panel company which created his reluctant interest in studying the spraying of the skies above his nature preserve near Mount Shasta. Please ask him on updates of his interview of the Premier of British Columbia, Canada. Please ask him on updates on the 2011 CalJam Festival (excellent video everyone should watch!!!) with film of geoengineering all over the world. Please ask him to explain the new weather terms on the mass media reports, like the current 'snow bomb' created by geoengineering. What is motivating Bill Gates and David Keith to ruin the air, water, soil for their own personal profit? Explain how geoengineering creates droughts in California and extreme flooding in five states at the same time.
I'm absolutely shitting myself by the end of this talk.
Criminal with blood on his hands.
What happen to US land and people if oe of the Neuclear missel accidentally gone wrong ,and the war is structured !
There are those that think that a doomsday event would cause an abrupt halt to long term climate change making this an option and strategic consideration in certain powerful circles. Perhaps this explains the dramatic increase in real estate prices in New Zealand...
Larkinchance The only thing that is constant is change........and that includes the climate.
All those people buying real estate in New Zealand are in for a ride Awakening when they realize that no place on Earth will escape the radioactive toxicity of the end of global civilisation.
would these people also be the ones who want to nuke hurricanes ?
I read his book and thought it was very informative. His comments during his stalk make me think he is an ideologue and a kook. It really puts his book in a different light.
