  Regarding this video from @akokesh:

  LiveLeak.com – The Restraint of Muslims (WARNING: GRAPHIC VIOLENCE) | Adam Kokesh

  I created a LL account for the first time to get involved in the discussions over there. Pretty interesting responses. Everyone there is assuming Adam is a Muslim or a Jew, or claiming he “forgot” 9/11 (when he referenced it in the video), or calling it “bullshit” without substantiation. I’m interested as to the Lme userbase’s response. Please watch the whole thing before commenting.

  That was really difficult to watch. He certainly doesn’t exercise restrain when it comes to depicting murder and torture and when they showed the man being burned to death, I couldn’t continue. I don’t think any reasonable person is going to comment here in defense of the human rights violations of ISIS. I don’t think any reasonable person will comment in defense of the human rights violations of the American military either. The video seemed excessively graphic and some of the video was completely out of context – the narration would be talking about something and the video shown would be about a different conflict or unrelated images of birth defects/violence that didn’t occur anywhere near ISIS (or the Muslim world in several cases). I also think it was a poor communication tool concerning the role of the American military because, bordering a logically fallacious approach, it sought its veracity and validation almost solely through an appeal to emotion. This could have been improved in so many ways. Message rating: 6/10; Content rating: 3/10; Presentation rating: <1/10.

  The video is hard to watch, but let’s remember that it’s trivial to sit and watch a video of horrific violence compared to being the subject of it.

  I find it telling that the mainstream US media hardly ever shows US inflicted atrocities, yet doesn’t miss a beat when airing ISIS brutality. The Vietnam War ended in large measure because of the relatively free reporting which happened, showing horrific depictions of barbarity and unthinkable suffering of civilians. It disgusted and outraged people in a visceral way.

  Mike, text doesn’t do what pictures can. Talking about “collateral damage” and other euphemisms lacks emotional impact — and it’s meant to. The state wants people emotionally disconnected from the carnage. Only seeing it (albeit from thousands of miles away) can give the slightest inkling of what’s really happening. Taxpayers who are funding this activity really and truly ought not be sheltered from the reality of how their capital is being deployed.

  Notice how U.S. inflicted barbarity post Vietnam has been mostly bottled, especially with “embedded reporting”. To show that gunship “lighting up” two Reuters reporters and those other unarmed people (and a child, and the people who came to try to help them, btw) took a Wikileak and Bradley Manning spending his life behind bars. See http://collateralmurder.com/

  Mike, the birth defect footage is from the US military using depleted uranium rounds.

  http://rt.com/news/167220-depleted-uranium-us-iraq/

  The bottom line is that most Americans are pathologically incapable of coming to terms with the fact that the U.S. was and is an invading force which massacred hundreds of thousands of people, mostly civilians. Of course if America had been invaded by a Muslim nation, with hundreds of thousands of Americans slaughtered, with Muslim soldiers pissing on our corpses, wiping their asses with the Bible (as U.S. soldiers have done with the Quaran), torturing Americans in sadistic camps, and mocking dirty Christian heathen children as they beg for help, then Americans would be demanding complete and total annihilation — literally nuclear “shock and awe”. Kokesh’s video does a powerful job highlighting this astounding hypocrisy. The fact that Youtube censored it is telling, and a mark against Google and its now-abandoned “don’t be evil” motto.

  Nice jimmy rustling by Kokesh here. I enjoyed it and hope he makes more videos like this in the future. I think he should have interspersed more text with the body counts / information throughout the whole video for added effect.

  That was very hard to watch – but I think it needs to be said. It pains me to know every day, that we are contributing to this horror (through taxation) – and it angers me to know that some of my friends even think that ISIS are the bad guys here… 🙁

    ISIS are the bad guys. The US government are the worse guys.
