they work towards drawing up tighter fiscal regulations. but back in two thousand and nine shortly after u.s. president barack obama came to power promising a new era of hope a protest movement emerged threaten to derail his whole agenda of change party takes a look at the billionaires tea party that's our special report for you next. i want to talk about cap and trade or as i call it cap and tax and i think probably most of you do as well. but first i want to talk about global warming for a minute here's the last thirty years you'll see for last ten years we haven't had any warming i think that shows that the models are phony by portray global warming as just another excuse for big government intervention by leftist audio lobes it's just another way of government controlling our lives and you know i'm dead set against that and certainly. human beings are not bad for 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 brenda equitable of the union of concerned scientists overwhelming vast majority 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 the 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 p.r. man and author jim hogan the success of this china has nothing to do with science

and everything to do with 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 and your average person will never know they just see some articulate guy may 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 singer in washington d.c. where he was briefing saying that stoffel is on the sawing to fix raisins why shouldn't support the cap and trade bill this suggests that it is frugal wanting that's not correct that's been cooling since not everyone agrees the function of this nomination is to disseminate the quasi signs of people like dr. this science is not finished the debate is not over as he left to support this

legislation would tell you i think global warming is a complete hoax and we 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 pro-republican talking points take to a miles cinta fox stuff like two thousand and nine the first directed all reporters to the global warming theories a bias to point out of 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 health care reforms government run health

care may include some rationing a government health care takeover could drastically change the way you and your family were seen health care the tea party also was a lot to folks who have 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 and may involve millions of people bam fox news is out in front of us we can join the tea party action from your home if you go to the fox nation dot com the tea party revolution is probably one right by you. we have a map to show you just how widespread these are fees are people who demand to be heard can start their places for as they fight for their future they are a network of fox news they were important week. for fox news is. thinking about time that are manufactured i can point to every one of these organizations and give you specific examples would be the i didn't think that you

were 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 doll in the for tea party movement it's glenn beck watching fixed paranoid populism and rice biting the bullet 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 wild lee 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. and the loop. already.

has what it was going to. be doesn't mean. we have to. add a word. with nine million people tuning in to his t.v. and radio shows each daddy 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 you like watermelon i think this is a watermelon bill and i think you're exactly right this bill is green on the outside fifteen missed green on the outside and inside it's deep communist red this was especially evident when i have pace who fit a story to big that i was green jobs advisor was a commie this is the beginning this is the portal into all of this this is the

biggest story in history self avowed communist activities there are communist marxist revolutionaries all around this president these guys are marxists in the white house i have. i mean you know they. were. running. my own government and. i'm going to be united. on. that force from the past for ed koch. oil millionaire member of the radical anti communist john birch society and. father of charles and di but while the threat of communism has long since passed it's striking how effective it still remains to instantly demonize opponents as evidence in the descriptions of the climate and healthcare policies and right throughout the tea parties why had the a.n.c. obama spin doctors resorted to the language of the cold war propaganda dies and why

has it been so effective in causing his styria among tea party go was. curious and when to say not crispin miller n.y.u. professor and corporate propaganda there are certain techniques that 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 notice them but one thing that one must of course is cloak on this message and a kind of moral righteousness. you know we really believe in liberty we believe in free enterprise we hear that all the time but that basically means 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 free enterprise and communism and that's the other

technique that that has to be viewed as you've also got to have enemies demons that serve a scapegoats and against which you can vent all the angry feelings that the propaganda will also insight. for them socialism conjures up this weird and long list of bogeyman obama is associated with bad by those right wing for example he's also associated with was limbs you know there's this myth that he's a muslim and so on it's also black so all these things serve for a highly volatile and irrational minority of the american population. anyway that's just kind of classic propaganda and it's no accident that this serves the interest of the health insurance companies the big pharmaceutical cartel 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 this and this is why they like people like glenn beck and rush limbaugh who are the tribune of this moment. understanding a bit more about how propaganda woods and i went to examine its use as freedom works close to the first ever national tea party in washington d.c. we just spear the government takeover of all the businesses we care the government takeover of our liberties we've got releasing the constitution and. we have sat at home and not said anything but not believed in what was going on and finally we have done that by the couch and come to do something and we're not going to stop the. american. ballet or the. tunnel. and.

the research you got the thunder car. the earth. socialism has taken over it's got a script on it you know always leads communism you'll think you're saying that we're against us to listen in america we wouldn't risk the constitution the bill of rights we want our freedoms freedom. yeah we came out here today for freedom i'd say that right just bursting to talk to you. well you got there ok before i socialized and can take our freedoms that were not given. me at

my feet. get them out of this trash can i am running it now not. was. the stupid things here ya o'er the way the was the was the was the the one the what. was the you do not move didn't move move. the the the moved to move on the move out of the law was the in the the while the line up of passionate tape r.c.

organizes get the hundred thousand patriots going eventually the sponsors from libertarian groups take to the stage to preach the gospel of free markets let me hear him say the word. not sound is this hell hath no fury like a tax me or ignore the loop then seriously your freedom was going to organization that believes that lower taxes less government and more freedom you can't people freedom if you have. the government. easy didn't you your freedom money didn't hear it is good. not small. these last few months. if you look from the heart and soul of america. it was just like those old campaigns against the back or regulation the groups

weren't selling free markets they were selling freedom itself and the tea party americans were buying it we came out here today for freedom and freedom. we go out and get americans from all walks of life involved to be in their economic freedom more importantly to them because. our freedoms having successfully steered protesters to revolt against the entire balmer agenda in the name of freedom faced who was to succeed with the cloaks of fire. 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 price institute. what is the theme to the tea party what is the tea party about is it about just opposing this is opposing that opposing this or is there really integrated and that idea i

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 today as an army we are the thin line between freedom and the status the scope you know they want to create freedom is a wonderful thing to fight for it's time for us to join the army and that's something i'm hoping. to do. in nashville i met up with a collection of libertarian groups crossing the country teaching 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 were activists then we are activists now make no distinction about it so what we do

we become digital activists we have to fight the media and we learn 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 america 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 eighty percent of books i i put a star on i don't read so that's how it works ok this place is all this 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 document on health care i don't want to go to come up i don't want michael moore's to come up so i was given bad ratings i spend about thirty minutes

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 ideas 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 governments the free market system their correlations free market religious and personal freedom we lose the free market we will lose personal religious freedom while we fight for. it's the end of the session and suddenly introduce ourselves to the group of rust mike hammer falling into the hand of the lady sitting next to me and i'm just praying i don't blow my cover. i mean i've been saved all of the nine twelve days but louisville i'm a party express i think a lot of different crosswords movements and events and it's just the say you guys

are amazing and very on the second revolution. on the right to join the second american revolution or who were the radical capitalist revolution was under why the tea party establishment officially adopted the mantra for the markets it was a stunning comeback for an ideology that seemingly lie in ruins after the mortgage crisis barely one year earlier the symbol of which was federal reserve chairman and champion of free markets alan greenspan orbited missing the deregulation doesn't work you would had an ideology to free competitive markets are by far the on rival way to organize economies pretty if you found

a flaw in the reality or in the model that i perceived is the critical functioning structure of the find how the world works so to speak in other words you found that your is your view of the world your ideology was not right it was not working it had it that precisely tea party backed republican candidates emerged all over the country to contest the two thousand and ten elections promising to stop the energy tax repeal health care and reduce the size of government. well the koch's chipping to support some two dozen tape party candidates as usual their real contribution was behind the scenes. in june at this resort in aspen colorado hosted a secret strategy session with a network of ultra wealthy donors and powerful allies including glenn beck cording to this letter from charles at the june meeting participants committed to an unprecedented 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 to supporting the obama agenda. bamma tried to hit back accusing at picture of being a corporate front in more than a dozen speeches but if you're in a 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 meanwhile in a test kinds known as citizens united supreme court which included two judges who had attended sacred. corporations were free to anonymously invest as much as they wanted in front groups. republican operatives seized upon the decision creating new groups and flooding the airwaves with tens of millions of dollars in ads for

unknown. on the grassroots summit i have paid dusted off their buses launching their november is coming campaign i use pay and freedom works also use the considerable budgets to try and mobilize the tea party army identify your voters get them registered to vote bring them out to vote that's it the tea party was ready to struck hard laugh than did the last panel not the president no we're out here on the corner in north philadelphia we're down out there in the city and not out there we have a family operational bumbag that would open if nine of mourning americans for prosperity we don't run and that all day we have our people at their door knocking and we're standing here now and hear that we're going to that we don't like you why do you want we don't like your beyond america we don't like your pov the if i were to take it back on november thank you very much. for this morning it is being called a g.o.p. sweep and a tea party title away in the biggest one found for either party since nineteen

forty eight the new one hundred twelfth congress will feature forty 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 your constitutional government in the threats of the excessive government regulation in the out of control rules that washington is because. 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 is to you know take out four government agencies like the part of education part of energy to the p.a. 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 radical free market ideology is the real we have

a. of the tape party movement it has nothing to do with people and yield cos trains or waving flags or holding 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 dream of free enterprise capitalism is alive and well. and so what does the american dream mean. american dream to me you should one word freedom if any american dream means defending our own life and our freedom to liberties that have made this country great to me the american dream is to live in peace and prosperity and freedom and

a government under socialism is not a government a 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 that and not tools of the wealthy and what does the sky on which this is happening cite about the state of american democracy. i think it's a serious threat to a democracy and i think people are mostly unaware of it if not completely unaware of the threat they're very much a unaware of the front groups and aware of how their thoughts are being manipulated and how their actions are actually being manipulated in many cases. i think they're unaware that we to a large extent have a plutocracy in this country or at least an emerging one rather than democracy and i think that's because of the the rise of power and influence of corporations and the way that they've been able to use p.r. p.r.

tactics and propaganda to get what they want they want we are drowning in propaganda drowning in 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 as i've been studying this this problem that the real currency in democracy is honest information.

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 their involvement in. and now you have very motivated people out across the country who are activists who are willing to fight for what they think is rights 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 the two thousand and twelve elections as the tea party is march on to two thousand and twelve and the goal of taking out president obama and installing politicians who fought for the right to free markets my only message to them is to be careful what you wish

for because you just might get us. was. the. last thing i.
