Ray McGovern opens with a song about dreams of the south pacific. He then tells a story of two nuns in Belfast who ran out of petrol. He explains that progression comes in zigs and zags. There is no longer a free media in America. All injustice should be disclosed and must be exposed to the friction that its disclosure creates so that it can be naturally cured.

Only an Irishman could tell you about your proplems and the hard truth in such a poetic and entertaining manner.The reason for that is that the truth is so absurd and nasty.

[@johnhenni2808]

He was a😢 courageous voice against U.S.foreign policy during the run up to the Invasion and Occupation of Iraq. His criticism.was based on an understanding of the machinations of a Government dominated by big business, fossil fuel industry, The PNAC conspirators, a Jewish cabal.led by Wolfiwitz and Bill Kristol

9:30 And sadly, the founder of Wikileaks is now rotting in a prison cell. The world is in worse shape now than it was when this video was released. Or like he said, we're in a pretty bad "zag".

homeboy just singing songs and telling jokes and still doing a better job defending the arguement than rest of the people beside him

Wow Ray McGovern held a wonderful uplifting speech. Unfortunately the zig has not come yet I believe it will come at some point maybe but we have to be proactive.

[@purplesword5536]

George carlin how you doing..

[@emmanueltruths]

Glad to see the goon isnt fooling everyone. What do they call multiple personalities?

[@Peterkramer929]

Interesting. He is deliberately changing his voice as if playing a character.

[@douglaskay9959]

Vera Lynn during WW2 I remember it well.

[@DariusSarrafi]

ray,great.!

[@johnhenni2808]

As mych as I gave admiration for Ray McGovern, with sll due respect to him, his views were appropriate in 2010, but.faith in a higher truth beyond the writings of Liberal or Conservative thought are the source of deeper truth and meaning. Churchill.was only correct by accident and error. The long view McGovern speaks of are a minute or two in the grand Longview of man's dreams and achievements.

[@Peterkramer929]

Because you have to be asleep to believe it.

[@Tonydjjokerit]

a good comedy turn,he should try my native language: Finnish

[@xmaseveeve5259]

'George Carlin'.

[@tatianalyulkin410]

Where is the zig? Why don't you ask Zelensky? 🤣

[@brixcity17]

Like he said under his message, in the long term free market capitalism will produce more wealth for everyone. This guy should have gone first.
