VIDEO: Russian TV Asks Me About Bush Speech on ‘Internet Freedom’

Share article:

Russian Television’s English language satellite broadcast channel, RT, tracked me down on the road to comment on George W. Bush’s speech yesterday at a conference on “Internet Freedom” at his George W. Bush Freedom Institute in Dallas.

A speech by Bush on “Internet Freedom”?! Irony much? Um, yes.

As it turns out, the Internet connection in the little town I was in was not stable enough to handle a Skype video interview, so my contribution had to be via telephone. Here’s their story…

    War criminal loser GW Bush is a savior of nothing except his own ace. Him and his corrupt Administration still need to be prosecuted for a long list of crimes that includes treason and murder against the American people, citizens in US attacked nations, and disregarded world wild life to serve an agenda that benefited the self-serving NWO and his super rich greedy corporate buddies.

    A comprehensive examination of the extensive damages both monetary and otherwise done of GW Bush and Dick Cheney as former inbred puppet leaders of the Executive branch of the Federal government that is controlled by multi-national bankers, big corporations, and the military industrial complex will probably not happen by the our manipulated US Judiciary branch.

    The US government is Fascism in action although it wears a carefully designed mask still calling itself a Democracy. This is supported by political speeches, national holidays, and of the US corporate propaganda machine run by 7 self-serving corporations.

    Comment by Brad and Alex Jones on this video clip were the most telling. While surveillance of Americans purely under the blanket excuse of fighting terrorism was recently reversed after being continued by the Barack Obama Administration,

    Free speech is 1 of the only liberties these bastards couldn’t find a way to scale back after taking down 3 NY World Trade Towers in under 10 seconds, and blaming an Arab in a cave on the other side of the world.

    So now he’s the freedom king. Way to go George!

    “Nothing more but (than) a joke”

    That about covers it.

    “Freedom” to a capitalist is nothing more than the freedom to exploit the masses by being above the laws and illusions that they create for themselves to pull it off.
