3:32 am
against that and certainly. human beings are not bad for the planet well that would be great if it was true and fortunately the scientific community doesn't agree as i found out when i spoke to bring to a quiz a of the union of concerned scientists overwhelming vast maturity absolutely most of the scientific societies around the world national academies of sciences the intergovernmental panel on climate change all the leading experts of the world they get together and make scientific statements about climate change they all agree that climate change is real it's unequivocal and they're very worried about the lack of action on the parts of weaning ourselves off of fossil fuel these guys have been able to delay action on climate change for two decades all along making billions and billions of dollars in dirty energy according to pay our man and
3:33 am
author jim hogan the success of this occur china has nothing to do with science and everything to to spin it was a media campaign they wanted to create doubt in the minds of journalists they wanted to create doubt in the minds of the public your average person will never know they just see some articulate guy and even be a scientist basically being shills for industry people like fred singer he was a guy who worked for tobacco now works on climate change but because they're wearing a lab coat and they have a ph d. people believed them. i tracked down seeing in washington where he was briefing senate staffers on the scientific reasons why they shouldn't support the cap and trade bill it's just that it was for the money that's not correct that's been calling since not everyone a function of this nomination is today disseminate the quasi science of people like you just saying. this science is not finished the debate is not over as the left to
3:34 am
support this legislation would tell you i think global warming is a complete hoax we've got to getting cooler for the past ten years some suggest that the research has been manipulated and that those questioning the effects of climate change have been silenced myron ebell is director of energy and global warming policy for the competitive enterprise institute then there's the role of the conservative media establishment. by the nation's most watched news network fox news twenty four hours a day by pump out pro-business for republican talking points take these two emails sent to fox stuff like two thousand and nine the first directed all reporters to cite the global warming theory advice the point guard that critics have called into question while another instructor echoed the insurance industry language by using the words government run health insurance to describe the proposed code care reform
3:35 am
government run health care may include some rationing a government health care takeover could drastically change the way you and your family received health care the tea party also was a lot of folks who urged its legion of loyal fans to get involved it's a movement that is sweeping the nation all across the country hundreds of these protests across the country may involve millions of people bam fox news is out front of us we can join the tea party action from your hall if you go to the fox nation that dot com the tea party revolution is probably run right by you. we have a map to show you just how widespread these are these are people who demand to be heard in some cases but for their trip they. actually do they want work week. but for commuters. like. that of manufacturing i don't think that everyone it is organizations and give you
3:36 am
specific examples or do you go by your brain factory or disingenuous or call me names right ok they don't tell the whole story they tell one side of the story and we see that now we're speaking out but if there's one person at fox who's become the dolling of the tea party movement it's going back watching picks paranoid populism and rice biting goes a long way to explaining some of the more extreme views in the tea party movement the media either can't see it or they're complicit or just wildly out of touch i don't know which it is but let me show you the big picture of what's happening here the roots of the tree of radicalism and revolution. this president i think has exposed himself as a guy over and over and over again who has a deep seated hatred for white people or the white culture i don't know what it is this guy is i believe a racist. with
3:37 am
nine million people shooting into his t.v. and radio show is that each day makes obsession with communism also makes him a powerful ally to oppose things like the cap and trade bill. let's bring in phil kerpen he is the director for policy for americans for prosperity like watermelon and i think this is a watermelon bill and i think you're exactly right this bill is green on the outside fifteen yest green on the outside and inside it's deep communist red this was especially evident when i have paid. for it a story topic but i was green jobs advisor was a commie this is the beginning this is the portal into all of this this is the
3:38 am
biggest story in history self avowed communist activities there are communist marxist revolutionaries around this president these guys are marxists in the white house i have. my own. voice from the past he's for it koch. millionaire member of the radical anti communist john birch society and. of charles and by bit well the threat of communism has long since cause it's striking how effective it still remains to instantly payment on its opponents is evidenced in the descriptions of the climate and health care policies and right through out the tea parties why has the a.n.c.
3:39 am
obama spin doctors resorted to the language of the cold war propaganda diets and why has it been so effective in causing he styria among the tea party goes. curious and when to say not crispin miller n.y.u. professor and corporate propaganda expert there are certain techniques that propagandists really need to use and they're so basic that you know they will leave the scene in arguable to us or we never even know his book but one thing that one must still course is cloak on this message and a kind of moral righteousness you know we believe in liberty we believe in free enterprise we hear that all the time but i pay sickly names crony capitalism but it implies something that most americans will you know feel a surge of positive emotion about right now there is a tacit opposition there between all free enterprise and communism and that's the
3:40 am
other technique that that has to be you still you've also got to have enemies gaming the system the service scapegoats and against that which you have to move your hand over the angry feelings that the propaganda wall sorry for its side. for them socialism conjures up all this you're going to have a long list of all the girl he met obama is associated with that right wing for example he's also says he did it with was limbs in august as if he was not in the sun as a black hole so all these things serve for a highly volatile and irrational already the american population. in a way that's just kind of classic propaganda and it's not an accident if this serves the interest of the health insurance companies the big pharmaceutical cartel
3:41 am
you know the petro chemical interests i mean we could go on or not it suits them fine this is why they've basically encouraged us and this is why they like people like glenn beck and rush limbaugh or the tribune's mormon. understanding a bit more about how propaganda works i went to examine its use as freedom works hosted the first ever national tea party in washington d.c. we just feel the government's high caliber of all the businesses we care the government takeover of our liberty with not releasing the constitution and. we have sat at home and not said anything but not relate to what was going on and finally we come upon the challenge and come to do something and we're not going to stop. the work. done a lot. of the out of.
3:42 am
the restraint but the other three are. the are. the are. the are socialism has taken over it's got a script on it you know always leaks coming is a cool thing or something that really gets us to listen to. the risk the constitution the bill of rights was really great. yeah we came out here today for freedom i think that right this first day he thought. well he got off my girl got the place just like i'm going to run and take our freedom we're not
3:43 am
3:44 am
the the lineup of passionate tape r.c. organises get a hundred thousand patriots going eventually the sponsors from libertarian curbs take to the star age to preach the gospel of free markets let me hear you say the was not sound. this hell hath no fury like a tax me or ignored. i'm to dance to salute your freedom or it's going to organization that believes a lower taxes less government and more freedom you can't keep freedom you have none of the good. camera easy didn't you freedom. is a good. move. these teams the last few months this is nothing was it was on the heart and so i never thought. it was just like those old campaigns against the back or regulation the groups weren't selling free
3:45 am
markets they were selling freedom itself and the tea party americans they came out here today for freedom. to go out and get americans from all walks of life evolved to be in their economic freedom more importantly than because. our freedoms had been successfully steered protesters through revolt against the bomber agenda in the name of freedom faced who was to succeed with the clips that failed on three nights here to build a free market movement capable of staging a revolution at the ballot box to find out more i went on to cover as a budding fiscal conservative. my first stop was a training session for tea partiers held by the competitive enterprise institute. being to the tea party what is the tea party about is it about just opposing this and opposing that opposing this or is there an integrated theme and that idea i
3:46 am
submit to the idea i want to show you one today is the idea of the rights of man the basic issue at stake is the destruction of the rights of those who produce in the united states and the tea parties of course are the battleground. we are ok as an army we are the thin line between freedom and the status the scope they want to create freedom is a wonderful thing to fight for it's time for us to join the army not something we all want to do. in nashville i met up with a collection of libertarian groups crossing the country pitching guerilla internet tactics for free market ideals over two hundred years ago guys a group of people just like you did something extraordinary ordinary people doing extraordinary things they were activists just like you i truly believe that they
3:47 am
were activists then we are activists now make no distinction about it so what we do we become digital activists we had to fight the media we learned the media and we manipulate the media it was printing presses then it's the internet now that's where we influence the hearts and minds of our fellow citizens the tea party's got us running up the hills where a majority is trying to give you the tools the muskets right so. here's what i do i get on amazon i type in liberal books i go through and i say one star one star one star the flipside is you go to a conservative libertarian whatever go to their products and give them five stars ok so literally it was in the books i. put a star on i don't read so that's how it works ok there's places is where your kids i promise you this is where your kids are going information rotten tomatoes flixster was a place where you can rate movies ok so when you type in movies on healthcare or documented on health care i don't want to go to come up i don't want michael moore's to come up so i always give bad ratings i spent about thirty minutes
3:48 am
a day just so that's guerilla tactics if there's a place to comment a place to rate right a place to share information you have to do it that's how you control the online dialogue give our ideals a fighting chance the principles that i believe strongly in that the founders believe strongly in with the idea of individual liberty rule of law limits of government's free market system their correlations free market religious and personal freedom we lose the free market we will lose personal industry and probably fight for. the end of the session and suddenly last introduce ourselves to. thrust my camera phone into the hands of the lady sitting next to me and i'm just prying don't blow my cover. i think so you've got that going on twelve days of louisville i'm excited spread. i think a lot of different crosswords my friends and effects and it's just like you guys
3:49 am
are amazing and carrying on the second revolution. i think to enjoying the second american revolution or her great a cool capitalist revolution was on the why the tea party establishment officially adopted the mantra for you markets it was a stunning comeback for an ideology that seemingly lie in ruins after the mortgage crisis early one year early on the symbol of which was fatal reserve chairman and champion of free markets alan greenspan said missing at the regulation doesn't work you would had an ideology the free competitive markets are by far the on rival way
3:50 am
to organize economies but if you found a flaw in the reality or in the model that i perceived is the critical functioning structure of that defines our world war sort of speech in other words you found that your is your view of the world your ideology was not right it was not working at that precise tea party backed republican candidates emerged all over the country to contest the true thousand and ten elections promising to stop the energy tax repeal health care and richest the size of government. well the koch's fifteen support some two dozen party candidates as usual their real contribution was behind the scenes. ensuring at this resort in aspen colorado hosted a secret strategy session with a network of ultra wealthy donors and powerful allies including going back. to this letter from charles at the june meeting disappearance committed to an unprecedented
3:51 am
level of support soon after americans for prosperity announced plans to spend a staggering forty five million dollars on elections they ran ads attacking politicians for supporting the obama agenda. adama tried to hit back accusing act of being a corporate fronts in more than a dozen states but if you're in the battleground state right now you are being bombarded with negative ads every single day and nobody knows who's paying for these ads they've got these names like americans for prosperity. in a test case known as citizens united supreme court which included two judges who had attended sacred. rule that corporations were afraid to enormously invest as much as they wanted in front groups like i have a. republican operative seized upon the decision creating new groups and flooding
3:52 am
the airwaves with panes of millions of dollars in ads for unknown donors. on the grassroots side i have paid dusted off their buses launching their november is coming campaign i have to pay and freedom works also use their considerable budgets to try and mobilize the tea party army identify your voters good image for devo bring about the vote that's it at tea party was ready to strike the last stand and this is the last stand i'm not the president no we're not here on a corner in north philadelphia we're down not going to be a god out there we have a point operational ball back up in the ninth of morning or americans for prosperity we don't run and i'll bet we have our people out there door knocking and we're standing here now here but we're going to try we don't like the white you don't want me don't like your view on america we don't like your policy if i were to take it back in november thank you. for this morning it is being called a g.o.p. sweep and
3:53 am
a tea party title away in the biggest wipe out private party since nineteen forty eight the new one hundred twelfth congress will feature forty tea party members a lot of libertarian leaning individuals within that tea party movement especially when it comes to taxes and over regulations band up to this agenda that is taking us in the wrong direction it's a message of. limits to constitutional government for it to be excessive government regulation in the future out of control that washington has become. there's a new day now the republicans took control of the house in november two thousand and ten very anti government agenda in fact one of their agenda items as to you know take out four government agencies like the part of education part of energy to . when you have politicians elected who want to shut down the government it sets a pretty interesting tone for the debate for me this newfound zeal for the koch's
3:54 am
radical free market ideology is the real revolution of the tape party movement has nothing to do with people in yeovil cost friends who buy them flags will hold in protest of things but it is a revolution that has everything to do with hidden corporate agendas complicit media players season propagandists a highly coordinated network of free market groups and most of all a pair of brothers with a dream to create a privatized america the american agree of free enterprise capitalism is alive and well. and so what does the american dream a. nerd can dream to be sure one word freedom to any american dream means to me i live in our freedom and liberty and mean this country to me the american dream is to live in peace and prosperity and freedom and
3:55 am
a government under socialism is not a government of freedom what about the freedom of individuals to make up their own mind through reason and rational to bikes what about the freedom to trust the grassroots movements such as the facts and not pools of the wealthy and what is the sky on which this is happening sight about the state of american democracy. i think it's a serious threat to democracy and i think people are mostly unaware of it not completely unaware of the threat they're very much unaware of the front groups and i don't where but how are their thoughts are being manipulated and how their actions are actually being manipulated in many cases. i think they are unaware that we are to a large extent have a plutocracy in this country or at least an emerging mind rather than democracy and i think that's because of the the rise of power and influence of corporations and
3:56 am
the way that they've been able to use p.r. p.r. tactics and propaganda about it to get what they want they want we are drowning in propaganda frowning at it. and i'm not speaking figuratively i think it's threatening our lives it's gets cutting off our air it's making real democracy. all but impossible it has brought the planet to the point of ecological destruction it's had no positive consequences whatsoever because it doesn't serve the people it serves other interests i've come to believe more and more inside and studying this this problem. that the real currency in democracy is honest information
3:57 am
that if you are on a mass scale able to pump out false information then the whole democratic system kind of breaks up. and yet these people have a perfect right to do it and hide. they're involvement. and now you have very motivated people out across the country who are activists who are willing to fight for what they think is right for themselves but in fact is forwarding a corporate agenda that is to stop regulations and to stop taxes and they're not going to stop in two thousand and ten they will continue through two thousand and twelve elections as the tea party has marched on to two thousand and twelve and they told of taking out president obama. and installing politicians who fought for the right to free markets my only knesset's truth is to be careful what you wish
