now at first it may seem like what I've picked to talk about today has nothing to do with my channel but my channel has to do with exposing cops and along those lines exposing tyranny and what is tyranny it's an oppressive government who sees other people within their country as people that should be oppressed people who should be put down under the thumb of those who are in government and what is government government is an illusion government is the idea that some people have the right to rule and others have the right to and the obligation to obey those rulers or the rulers can rightly punish those people and they believe they're perfectly justified in doing that so when I saw this interview from Anderson Cooper toward Cornell West and I've when I thought I had to talk about it but Cornell West I've seen enough of his interviews to arrive at the conclusion that this guy is not stupid this guy is articulate he seems to be thoughtful in his responses do I believe Cornell West is on our side I absolutely do not believe he's on our side as a matter of fact he's an avowed socialist this right here just from his Wikipedia page he is a socialist Wes draws intellectual contributions from multiple Traditions including Christianity the black church Democratic socialism left-wing populism neopragmatism and transcendentalism so he is a leftist he's he's an avowed left-wing populist which means that he also buys into the left versus right Paradigm lie garbage so am I under the just because I think he's smart just because I think he's intelligent and my under the delusion that he is on our side no he's not number one he's a socialist I don't care if you're Socialist Communist these are all political positions and ideologies which basically is a group of people has the right to Rob and Rule other people I don't care what you know are there nuances to socialism and communism and Marxism yes there are levels there are nuances to it but the bottom line is it's the right to rule and and the right to rob people that they're claiming to be protecting and serving I don't care it's it's basically a power and wealth transfer it's a forced power and wealth transfer when you're talking about Socialism or communism or Marxism or even corrupt capitalism called corporatism or cronyism so West is not on our side and at the same time when he appeared on Anderson Cooper it's almost like CNN went off the rails for a second I'm gonna play this I'm gonna make some comments about it but stay tuned till about the eight or nine minute mark on this because corn Cornell West is coming against what we always say of the cnns of the world the ABCs the Fox News of the World they are the propaganda arm for the military-industrial complex at all costs we need to protect the defense contractors and who wins in war the defense contractors people who make the armaments people who make the uniforms the helmets the tanks the bombs those are the people who come out winning war is a racket if you doubt that war is a racket look at the writings of Major General Smedley Butler called war is a racket and it'll it'll it'll share some shed some nuance and shed some light on your view of what war actually is so let's uh let's listen to some of this back and forth from Anderson Cooper and Cornell West it gets super super interesting check this out uh Party candidate Cornell West who joins us now Dr West appreciate you being with us it's good to see you it's always a blessing to say it and I salute your two precious gifts from Heaven thank you Sebastian brother Wyatt yes indeed they're doing well thank you uh I want to ask you Senator Mansion up in New Hampshire tonight seems to be uh testing the waters there he says the parties are too far to the left and to the right what do you think of his politics well you know I just read the pamphlet Common Sense and my God they had the audacity to rename that after the great Thomas Payne's revolutionary pamphlet of January 10 1976 that was critical of all forms of hierarchy in the name of the Dignity of those last stone called everyday people I don't think that the No Labels party with their hundreds million dollars flowing already our fundamental focus on what I'm concerned about which is applied to poor and working people trying to come to term with the cop cities the critiques of the cop cities trying to come to terms of striking workers be it in Hollywood be there in Amazon be their UPS come into terms with the echo side cop City bit by the way that's basically what's going on in Atlanta Georgia Georgia they're making this big cop City that people a lot of people are um you know up in arms about and rightly so we don't need I mean we already have standing armies we don't need cop cities and that I'm sure is going to be used as a prototype which what's going on in Atlanta or what they want to go on in Atlanta is going to be used as a prototype to spread it all throughout the country with the fossil fuel companies steel corporate greed running out of control you know we're at a moment now my brother where uh if we don't come to terms with this massive callousness and indifference to the plight of poor and working people we're going to lose everything the planet democracy a qualitative relations with each other that's how life and death uh like our situation is my brother by the way help the poor working man will always be The Alibi of tyrants that's always the drum beat of tyrants tyrants don't come along going let's see who can we oppress who can we suppress whose lives can we ruin no they come in the form of a savior hey we're gonna we're gonna lift you from your plight we're gonna release the shackles from your wrist we're gonna relieve you of your burden they always come with good intentions good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority good intentions or necessity necessity is the plea of every infringement of human freedoms it's the argument of tyrants it always will be the argument of tyrants it will always be the Creed of slaves pretty much though you know the concern certainly I mean you've been asked this question a million times from a lot of Democrats and Republicans against Trump that a third party candidate like yourself could siphon votes away from President Biden David Axelrod recently tweeted saying in 2016 the green party played an outside role in The Tipping the election to Donald Trump now with Cornell West as their likely nominee they could easily do it again so what is that right there that's the left versus right Paradigm lie again getting people to be bought into the the left party or the right party now we've got the green party and not nothing changes with these additional parties because they still want to rob you they still want to rule you they still want to force their edicts and their laws and their ordinances their restrictions upon you Risky Business now I know you said you don't believe Jill Stein made that big a difference in the vote count in 2016. in Michigan Pennsylvania Wisconsin her votes did exceed Trump's margin over Clinton so how do you answer that critique that you will be siphoning votes away and potentially leading to a trump victory well part of it is is that nearly 40 percent of our precious citizens every two and four years decide not to vote at all and we and that is a very very good thing what if ninety percent of us did that what if 95 percent of us did that what if we just started ignoring these political parasites how would the landscape change then we know that the so-called spoilers which is a category you can imagine not doing except at all over two-thirds of those who vote it could be a Gary Johnson assisted Jill Stein brother Ralph Nader whoever people say they would never vote for the two parties and I can understand those two parties become too corrupt their politicians are too conformist too many of the politicians themselves are just cowardly we'll just say anything what about truth what about Justice truth and Justice bigger than all of us bigger than every party every race every person if you're concerned about truth and Justice then you can't be cowardly complacent or conformist and especially if you look at the world through the lens of those who are incarcerated those who are in get ghettos and hoods and Barrios Brother David Axelrod he looks at the world through the lens of the establishment well of course from the length of the establishment he's concerned about reproducing The Establishment my God my God there's no doubt about that in the 1850s both parties supported slavery but I think he's probably one more Liberty party I think he seems more though I mean you know David Oxford he seems more interested in preventing he's bringing out some really really good points and it's all being deflected by Anderson Cooper former president Trump CIA former former CIA asset Anderson Cooper I'm from getting reelected I have more than I'd say recreating The Establishment well no I'm talking about the Democratic party establishment though brother uh okay the extraordinate you see it I mean you agree with you very much part of Democratic party establishment I mean his interests I don't want to speak for him but you criticize the president absolutely you criticized President Biden saying recently that he contributed in your words I'm quoting contributed to a crime against humanity when he became the architect or the mass incarceration regime in the 1990s you're referring to the 1994 violent crime control and Law Enforcement Act that then Senator Biden sponsored you also said he it's quote very clear that his cognitive powers are in Decline um you have had a remarkable career you've championed those whose voices have been silenced all your life we've had you on the program a ton of times talking about that you never run a large bureaucracy or had any major your governmental leadership role isn't that important to actually governing as president oh absolutely I'd have to bring in people who are experienced but an important thing is your vision and the limits to which you view the world policy is something that can be worked out in light of vision if your vision is one of militarism abroad then you're going to be preoccupied with Wars and militaristic Adventures we've known Biden's got a long history I don't think he's actually seen a war I like what he said there let's I'll let him finish here that he hadn't supported Biden hasn't seen a war that he hasn't supported just like John McCain just like most Republicans and most Democrats they haven't seen a war that they haven't supported in other words they're in full support of the bankster bot Wars I think the invasion occupation of Iraq was I like how he said that you can change your policies to align with your vision the most important thing is to have the vision and the vision is rooted in character it's rooted in what he's going to call truth and it's rooted Injustice you can massage all the policies as long as your foundation is truth justice and that's what your vision is but you know the problem with all tyrants is that they will say their vision is truth and Justice and doing good for the people but it always turns out the exact opposite crime against humanity how many precious hundreds of thousands of Iraqis were killed based on alive well Biden was running in interference in that regard I think mass incarceration in the United States in the last 40 years is a crime against humanity I've taught in prisons for 41 years I've stayed in contact with the rich Humanity of my brothers and sisters who have been incarcerated and they've many have done things they didn't shouldn't have done and many are there because they're Innocent but the important thing is it is sites they are sites of barbarity well to be ashamed to live in a country when you look at the conditions of our brothers and sisters who are incarcerated it is not just in 1994 crime bill you can go back to the Biden thurstrom he was a Strom Thurston bills of 84 and 86 and 91 and then 94. you see that I mean this guy has a serious head full of knowledge to to be able to cite that kind of thing and put Anderson Cooper in the counterfeit News Network on blast with that knowledge classic but he's just warming up stay tuned so it's just a matter of trying to be truthful I I'm not trying to trash brother Biden I really not I'm trying to make him accountable for his actions in light of how The Wretched of the Earth are treated in this nation and around the world and that's so I don't know if you caught that but he had already said that he knows that Biden has never seen a war that he didn't like but he still calls Biden I'm not trying to trash brother Biden this guy not Cornell West but all these political parasites are War mongering tyrants how can anybody call them brother when they're trying to destroy your brothers throughout the world your sisters throughout the world are you going to call them your brother do you call barbarians your brother it's true for any politician be it Obama Biden Clinton Bush Trump all of them have to be measured by the same standard of Truth and Justice I agree I want to ask you about the war in Ukraine because I saw you tweeted out you said NATO is an expanding instrument of U.S Global power that provoked Russia into a criminal Invasion and occupation of Ukraine he said this proxy war between the American Empire and the Russian Federation could lead to World War Three we must stop the war on war crimes including cluster bombs used by all parties and embark on diplomatic talks that should lead to a just peace Anderson Cooper and CNN is going to have a problem with that statement I didn't say that statement you didn't say that statement Cornell West said that statement uh Facebook or YouTube or whoever whatever Outlet or platform I put this on Cornell West said that the question is is it truthful is that a truthful statement are there grains of Truth spread scattered throughout do you believe I mean how are you going to bring all sides to the table on Ukraine and do you really believe that that NATO provoked Russia into invading Ukraine well when when Russia was promised that NATO did not move one inch and then a few years later you got 13 former Soviets but wait a minute but you're talking about a 1990 uh there was an agreement signed that NATO would not move into East Germany um but actually nothing was said about further east uh and it was at the very least it was ambiguous you could you could there's an argument it was a formal and informal talks but I mean you know the great George Cannon who's probably who had to Define his minds of the establishment when it comes to Foreign Affairs he said he doesn't understand why they don't need to exist any longer because it's defensive well the collapse of the Soviet Empire men in fact you no longer even needed NATO Europe could come up with its own security but well it certainly but it doesn't seem like that because the people on the arm of the American Empire so basically Cornell West is saying hey Kennett said we don't even we need to dissolve and disband NATO and now here's the propaganda arm for the military industrial complex the mouthpiece of the counter News Network Anderson Cooper He's going to be no no wait a second we need NATO we know we don't need to dissolve NATO we need NATO how can Europe protect itself unless we had nato in place as Kevlar to protect them you don't believe the challenge you don't believe though that the people of Ukraine right now need NATO to defend against Russian aggression we need NATO well the people of Ukraine right now who are suffering and I'm in deep solidarity with their suffering they are being caught between this proxy war between the American Empire and the Russian Federation that the Russian Federate Federation now well that's not really true but Dr West I mean it wasn't yes or early on I mean you're you're far more educated than I am but early he Anderson Cooper is going to try to convince his audience that they're not power Brokers in play in Europe and in America and that the American Empire has no influence on NATO early on it was Poland Czechoslovakian Hungary who pressure who wanted to join NATO Warsaw a packed country is suddenly free did not want to be under the Yoke of the former Soviet Union any longer and they are the ones who applied to join NATO it wasn't the U.S pushing these countries in a in a you know in an expansion play it was it was these countries suddenly free the people yeah no expansion play except uh what Newlin and Biden said about what would happen if anything happened to my Nordstrom yeah no expansion play at all that looks like an expansion play Anderson Pupa it sure does well in those countries saying we want to be in the EU NATO is the fastest way is the kind of a stepping stone in the EU we want that we want to turn to the West no would you have denied Hungary Czechoslovakia uh the the choice well I mean one I would have followed George Cannon I would abolished NATO right after the collapse of the Soviet Empire and I would have tried to welcome Russia into the nation the community of Nations rather than trying to push them against the wall we know their system of repression and domination is one in which they're going to feel as if their backs are against the wall and I think you would probably agree that if Russia or China had missiles in Canada or Mexico targeting Washington D.C U.S government would blow them to Smithereens and look at Anderson damage control Cooper's face right here you know that's true if if Russia or China had troops and air bases or military bases based in to our northern border of Canada and our Southern border of Mexico you know Washington DC would have something to say about that they would feel like man we got to defend ourselves it looks like they're trying to surround us and possibly attack us how do you think Russia feels that's how Empires behave you've read the history I know the history we're critical of Imperial activity no matter who it is American Russian and what have you but America is the most powerful Empire in the world in the history of the world my brother and it seems to me if we can't dismantle that Empire in order to empower poor and working people here and abroad we're going to lose our democracy it's almost like Rome you know it's capable look at look at Cooper's face dismantled the American Empire what the heck are you talking about Cornell it'll be younger and Cicero against Julius Caesar right but there's what happens when your Empire begins to take over your Democratic possibility I just spoke to the the foreign minister no answer for Ukraine we're gonna have that interview later on I think if you said to him you're standing with the people of Ukraine in solidarity and you're saying that they are just victims in this proxy war he would say you're out of your mind I mean they are thankful talk about an abject in that sentence that he just spewed talk about an abject denial of the historical actions of expanding Empires give me a break is they are thankful for NATO they are thankful for the U.S you can call the American Empire but I mean they were thankful for all these countries rallying to their you can call you can call hey Cornell I know you're really smart and Anderson Cooper if he hasn't already said it he's about to say hey you're way more educated than I am on this I think yeah he already did say it um but to call Nato part of the American Empire come on that's kind of a stretch isn't it aside I mean I I've been there you've probably you've probably been there as well I mean it is a horrible it's an invasion I mean of of killing of civilians and cities oh no it is a criminal Invasion I'm not denying it's a criminal Invasion but what I'm saying is to go back to the men's talks you go back to March one month after the War Began my brother I'm calling for cease fire I don't want to say you can call the person Vladimir Putin isn't really listening to what you say or I say or anybody says he's I mean he's doing what he wants to do just like he slaughtered I mean he saw what he did you saw what he did to grossney in in the 90s I mean he flattened that City civilians were trapped in that City no the world didn't come to the rescue of grossney he did exactly what he wanted to do I mean unchecked he will slaughter people now let's talk about grozny and I do not want to minimize at all any harm inflicted or any casualties that suffered at the hands of the military-industrial complex but I want to show you this real quick this is this is the Wikipedia page on grosney it was the ballistic missile attack as a wave of Russian uh ballistic missile strikes on the Czech and capital of grozny on October 21st 1999 and says the attack killed at least 118 people according to initial reports and again I'm not minimizing deaths because of the number of casualties in one attack or one war or one battle and another because every life counts okay but when you're going to talk about when Anderson Cooper is going to talk about but what about grossing but what about grossney what about the 500 000 children who were ended in the Iraqi invasion looking for what weapons of mass destruction which they never found which ended up being a complete lie what about that what about and and this isn't something you have to fabricate this isn't some conspiracy theorist this right here is Leslie Stahl interviewing then Secretary of State Madeleine Albright questioning her on was it really worth ending the lives of 500 000 children I mean more more children died and those attacks than in Hiroshima and Nagasaki we have heard that a half a million children have died I mean that's more children than died when in Hiroshima and and you know is the price worth it I think this is a very hard choice but the price we think the price is worth it the price of going into battle and ending the lives of 500 000 children not not including the other casualties you know adult casualties are not just out there you know opting little people but they're saying invading a country and now now we know under false pretenses under absolute lies see that's what I have a problem with big stream CIA infiltrated operation Mockingbird MK Ultra media is that they like the reason you can't trust them is that they lied about weapons of mass destruction and that lie produced killing field after killing field hundreds of thousands of people if not millions of people were ended and their lives were ruined their country was destroyed all in the name of we've got to stop Saddam Hussein or weapons of mass destruction all a complete lie Fox News ABC NBC CBS CNN they all played a part of MSNBC they all played a part in that you can never trust a network who's lied to you and whose lives produced such death and destruction in the lives of our fellow human beings throughout the world and they continue to lie and it's the same it's it was the same back in the 1960s when they lied to you about the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution and said the North Vietnamese torpedo Boats were firing on the USS Maddox so that we could escalate what was going on in Vietnam it doesn't stop well I mean unchecked he will Slaughter folk unchecked what we did in Iraq was slaughtering people uncheck what we've done in other places when they're wrong you have to pull up you have to point it out I I was look again I respect you you know I love you um but I do think I do think it's inappropriate to compare the Russian bombing of grozny uh and what we witnessed there with the the war in Iraq I mean give me a freaking break it's not even in the same hemisphere it's not even comparing them isn't even the same universe as far as body count not even close to say that innocence Innocents are killed I mean there's no doubt about it I mean the horrible thing happened a man half a million Iraqis killed my brother well for me yeah listen I was there I mean I I look at his face watch kill my brother look me look look at his face he knows he knows but he doesn't care and he's got to stay with his script and he's got to do what his Masters tell him and he's got to continue to go to bat for the military industrial complex because it's our military it's our people executing the Tyranny that makes it all right a Anderson Cooper but if it's the Russian troops doing that to a bunch of ukrainians no we can't accept that yeah listen I was there I mean I I was there I certainly understand I also saw a lot of Americans getting killed and I saw you know the the horrors of Saddam Hussein I'm just saying I don't think it's accurate to compare the but how about the horrors of the American troops I saw Americans getting killed I saw the horrors of Saddam Hussein but how about the horrors rot at the hands of the U.S troops how about that I mean there are horrible videos coming out or have come out and are still coming out about what actually happened in Iraq what U.S troops were doing to kids what they were doing to Families how they were torturing them and tormenting them what some of these soldiers are doing to little puppy dogs found in the street the pummeling of a city by Russian Artillery with civilians inside pummeling every single day with with the intention of just destroying and flattening a city which sounds like the American Empire empire the intent is just to destroy and flatten the city let's get in there let's get out let's go do lunch with actions the U.S took I mean I don't know look you know Wars horrible things happen in wars and it's hard that's absolutely absolutely but I mean I mean you know and I know any comparative analysis of levels of barbarity and cruelty it's going to lend itself to this ugly algebra blood that we don't want to get into but all I'm saying is you can't just jump into a situation where people are being treated baldically there's no doubt that Ukrainian people are being treated in a bulbaric way that's that murderous way there's no doubt about that but the context is one in which that did not have to be if the expansion of NATO and NATO is an arm of the American global power Network it's just what you're saying though in Ukraine what you're saying though in Ukraine is that did you hear that did you hear that NATO is an arm of the American global power Network NATO according to Cornell West this isn't me saying this NATO is a part of the American global power Network just in case you didn't hear it isn't the expansion of NATO and NATO is an arm of the American global power Network it's just what you're saying though in Ukraine what you're saying though in Ukraine those are the facts you can't deny that praying is that the ukrainians they're just going to have to compromise and give up their land because that's how it was it's like see that's why I can't stand interactions and interviews like this Cornell West should have said what did I say Anderson Cooper just now that wasn't true the expansion of NATO and NATO itself is a part of the American global power Network and they are also responsible for this algebra of blood massive amounts of blood oh I'm not saying that well you've said there have to be hard compromises on all sides you said there have to be you've said there have to be compromised on all sides and you know compromise for Ukraine means Crimea means a whole parts of their East is that fair well I mean I don't know I just I want to adjust my Ukrainian brothers and sisters and I don't want World War III I don't want world war three to wait and we're moving now we got 3 000 advisors what we heard that in Vietnam we're on the way to possible nuclear exchange how how ugly here we got Trump pushing us toward the second Civil War at home you got Biden pushing us toward a third world war abroad we need an alternative that's what this campaign's probably about my brother so that's why he says that he's running for the third party for the green party but again this is this is a tip of the hat to the left versus right Paradigm lie and as as harsh as some of these words are from Cornell West to the Anderson Coopers of the world to the American military industrial complex to the Republican party to the Democrat Party he still calls them brothers and this is how convoluted this whole thing is because I'm convinced that with this many truthful words as Cornell West lobbed out into the you know Universe with uh you know NATO being an expansion and an arm of the military industrial complex and the power Brokers the global power Brokers that shouldn't be he still gives uh you know preference to the left party and the right party as he runs for the green party and this is all just a massive psychological operation to get people to get out there and to continue voting and go hey this is the it's going to be different this time Gary Johnson is going to be different Jill Stein is going to be different Cornell West is going to be different third party candidates are going to be different it'll be different do you not think that the Third Party candidate is all the candidates are also controlled by the military-industrial complex by the Federal Reserve by the Zio International Bank and cartel the powers that shouldn't be yes they absolutely are if the if if if voting mattered guys they would they would outlaw it they would make it illegal they wouldn't allow you to do it the reason they want you to continue participating is because they want the chains of your own oppression to be bound around your wrists and your ankles and on your back with your approval so leave your thoughts about this for the world and the global thought police in the comments section below if you haven't done so already subscribe to my email list through my website highimpact flicks.com follow me over on Twitter follow me on Facebook follow me on YouTube I hope you get something out of this video If you do share it with everybody know everywhere you can if you want to support the channel the support links are in the description or in the pinned comment or wherever this goes out to but the bottom line is guys we've got to fight against our this tyranny and the way to do it is knowledge knowledge is power when people get that knowledge and they come to the conclusion of hey I've got to get rid of my belief in the Superstition called government that's when we start changing things that's when people go you know what I don't need the government to defend me I don't need a handout I'm going to take care of my myself that's where self-defense self-determination and um you know basically self-dignity comes in I will see you guys in the next video take care thanks for tuning in foreign foreign
