there's another revolution brewing in egypt i've got a new breakdown on lol site and we'll explain how al gore is nothing more than a state sanctioned product blocker and there's nothing special about our other dear leader from illinois which i have nothing better than you the viewer completes an episode of adam vs the man. a study at brown university has concluded that the total cost of the unconstitutional liberal nation building wars in iraq afghanistan and pakistan will total around conservatively three point seven trillion dollars or as much as four point four trillion dollars when i count the brilliant numbers guys over at the pentagon should consider reading some basic war strategy. here's an icicle quote in military operations a long drawn out victory will make the whole army dull and tired out and dampen the spirit and enthusiasm of the soldiers and a drawn out seed to the city will exhaust their strength a protracted campaign abroad will also deplete will deplete the financial resources of the state if the army is tired out the soldier's enthusiasm is dampened and their strength is e

and instead of acting like a legitimate impartial and competent referee al gore points out that our news media using this metaphor is acting like a referee from professional wrestling the media seems unsure if they're supposed to be reporting on the facts of climate change or if they're just part of the entertainment refereeing absurd debate between actual climate scientists who devoted their lives is that in the issue and on the other side pseudo scientists and pundits who are just saying what the big oil corporate overlords pay them to say as al gore writes the referee appears not to notice that the polluters and ideologues are trampling all over the rules of democratic discourse their financing pseudo scientists is job is to manufacture doubt about what is true and what is false by an elected officials also bribes but the politicians themselves have made legal and can now be made in secret spending hundreds of millions of dollars each year and misleading advertisements in the mass media hiring for anti climate lobbyists for every member of the us senate and house of representatives in

where they disagree on politics but i imagine it's not terribly different than you know al gore is no no general election you know at the end of the day i don't expect the goldman to become a democracy now but i think that has more to do with what he's interested in talking about and where his focus lies and less about there's going to be any management saying you can't discuss this and you can't discuss that because i really do think there's going to be. there is a big difference in haiti. the model going forward i think our independent media in the future. is not going to be based on one specific revenue model but i do think it's going to be more independent going forward and they're not going to be as many landmines. but on that note i mean wouldn't it be more productive to take whatever amount of money that's going to be a skype or maybe you know use that for independent man on the street journalist that really do that kind of grassroots reporting that that's that's moving the country away from a persona based following or as i just unrealistic because you know it's personas i gue

glen hurowitz, is al gore right? >> he is right. unfortunately environmentalists got the sense that president obama was not fully fighting for the climate and for the urgent environmental needs that we have during the debate over climate legislation when he cut side deals with the oil industry, the coal industry, the nuclear industry without getting anything in return in terms of a commitment to support a cap on pollution or investment in clean-energy jobs. that was rumor that he was seeing other people but we really got confirmation when he embraced a broad agenda of drilling for oil offshore in the gulf, now looking to do in the very sensitive ecological areas in alaska. we saw it when he opened up huge areas for coal mining in wyoming it's about 30 times the amount of coal mining as clean energy that his installation has installed. he's also stalled clean air act that will have benefits and are aimed at protecting public health like mercury, smog and soot so there's been a real series of attacks on the environment coming from the

al gore knows why in the most recent edition of rolling stone magazine who are penned an essay titled climate of denial are why it is a global warming is still a question in america and not viewed here as a fact of life as in most other nations on the planet the analogy the grower uses spot on has to do with professional wrestling to someone just watching professional wrestling for the first time it seems real guys look like they're just beating the snot out of each other there's blood groans of agony kasia all serious injuries one of the tip offs that it's all a fake it's all a show it's how the referee acts if wrestling was real the referee would be on point and impartial fulfilling his duty like any other referee in professional sports baseball basketball football but a wrestling the referee is just a character playing an important role in the scripted theatricals inside the ring ever notice that any time the bad guy is breaking the rules like smashing his opponent's skull with a metal chair the referee seems to be distracted. when the good guy finally pile drags the bad guy and la

different than you know al gore is no no general election you know at the end of the day i don't expect development to be from democracy now but i think that has more to do with what he's interested in talking about and where his focus lies and less about there's going to be any management saying you can't discuss this and. i really do think there's going to be. there is a big difference but on that note i mean wouldn't it be more productive to take whatever amount of money that's going to be advising maybe you know use that for independent man in the street journalist that really do that kind of grassroots reporting that that's that's moving the country away from a persona based following or is that just unrealistic because you know it's persona i guess attract viewers and self not ratings in this case i think that's the nature of. this industry. sickly when you're talking about the polls is both reports but it's also a commentary so i think you're wrong on a very. specific individuals because the way they comment what they're willing to factor with how they present is relevant i mean
