Democracy Now! Friday, 10th March 2006
We have an extended conversation with Tony Benn, one of Britain’s most distinguished politicians and the longest serving MP in the history of the Labour party. Benn discusses the new revelations the British government helped Israel build the atom bomb. Benn also speaks about U.S. and U.K. relations, extraordinary rendition, Guantanamo Bay, torture, religion, and the state of the media. [includes rush transcript]
BBC News revealed Thursday the British government secretly supplied Israel with hundreds of chemical shipments in the 1960’s, despite fears the chemicals could be used to develop nuclear weapons. Analysts say the shipments, which included plutonium, helped speed up Israel’s acquisition of an atomic bomb. All told, the BBC reported the British chemicals could have been used to produce bombs 20 times as powerful as those dropped on Hiroshima.
The deals were made in violation of strict government policy. According to de-classified government documents, a British government official named Michael Michaels oversaw the shipments behind the backs of his superiors. One of these superiors is our guest today. Tony Benn was Britain’s Minister of Technology at the time. That post was one of many that have come in the career of one of Britain’s most distinguished politicians.
Tony Benn served in the British Parliament for over half a century. He is the longest serving MP in the history of the Labour party, which he joined in 1942. In May 2001, Benn retired from House of Commons to, in his words, “devote more time to politics.” While many politicians take on corporate or lobby positions when they leave office, Benn became one of the harshest and most vocal critics of the Iraq war. He is a prominent leader of the Stop the War Coalition in Britain.
In February 2003 — one month before the invasion of Iraq — Benn interviewed Saddam Hussein in Baghdad. In December of last year, Benn was the lead signatory to an appeal sent on behalf of dozens of prominent British political and cultural figures asking the UN to investigate the US and British governments for war crimes in Iraq.
It's amazing. I I've talked to a lot of people that have traveled internationally. I haven't had the ability to, yet. I plan on doing it at one point in time, but I will, I don't think I'm not gonna no. So, but what they tell me is that when you leave this country and you go elsewhere, mm-hmm, people who have nothing.
And I mean, nothing mm-hmm can still be happy. It. Absolutely. Doesn't take a car. Doesn't take, you know, a lot of money. Uh, they've got water, they've got food, they've got a roof over their head. They've got family and they're happy. And I, I think we've, you've been gone a while. I think we've lost that we've lost touch with that in this country.
And I would hope to get it back. They also have faith. They have faith in themselves. They have faith in their family and they have spiritual faith. And I like things like that. And I believe that everybody in the world has that in common. It doesn't matter your culture, religion, your language, your skin color, or whatever.
No, there, there a smile is universal. And when people offer food and share things like that's universal, too. and in this culture, you cannot turn down a second plate of food as an insult. So just be prepared to eat and be prepared to be taken very well cared of, and also have the pleasure of reciprocating that as well.
And so I've seen that as part of this culture, but no, the, the United States is fine. We have this, I just think people need to slow down. Calm down a little bit and just get back to the basics, get back. As I mentioned, the way that we were raised by our parents and grandparents, and if we can get back to that sort of simple sort of mind frame and, and communication, people have much more, uh, effective and fulfilling relationships.
What what's happening is people are texting too much and they're not calling. or they're not seeing one another, because it may be COVID people got isolated and it's not easy. It's really, the tough road is to get back into that. The easy way is just to keep doing what you're doing, but the, but the more challenging way is to walk next door to your neighbors and to say hello, or to make that extra effort to not break a plan and to see your friends or to do a follow up email or phone call for courtesy.
And not be latent about it because people are expecting that. And so as long as you can do those sort of things on a daily basis, it won't pile up. You won't forget about it and you'll be invited to a lot of parties and events because you're showing interest in that sort of relationship. Absolutely.
Yeah. I ask my youngest son. When he was, uh, 18, 19, this is about 10 years ago, but he, he was to the, he was so good at texting that he could in class have his phone in his pocket and be able to text without looking at the, the number to the, uh, uh, letters as to mm-hmm. what he was. I mean, he was so gifted at texting.
He did it so much. So I asked him one day, I said, Don't you find that texting takes away from the personal attention of having a conversation with somebody. And he said, no, I'm fine with texting besides I can talk to five girls at the same time when I'm texting. And I can't do that when I'm on the phone.
So it's like, well, okay, but what's your son's name? The Fs . That sounds great. Five girls at the same time. He's remember our generat. Okay. We had to call people's homes to ask permission to speak to our friends. Yes, we did. Cuz dad would pick up the phone and it would be like, who's this that's right. Oh, you know, can I talk to Lisa please?
Uh, you know, and uh, but nowadays none of that's, but I think you're right. We've lost a human touch and we, and you would be great to get that human touch back. I gotta ask you in Costa Rica, what's the homeless situation like. It's there. Uh, and I, I see it a lot in, in San Jose, but really what I see is it's more of somebody that's lost their way.
It's usually a young man or a young woman that might be indulging. too much. Wow. Yes. And so that's what I see. And so, but other areas where yes, it is a third world country. And I have seen individuals out there asking for the most asking for OS from people. And you can tell that this individual might be a senior citizen or have a handicap.
Or something that's not drug or bad habit related. And a lot of people, including myself, not just give money, but then all of a sudden you ask, is there something that you need specifically? I need some sneakers, I need a jacket. I need something. You get that for them. It's not like a one and a done, like in my neighborhood, there was a corner and there was, there was Donna Katia.
She must have been at least 75 years old. And this woman was out there every day, sweetest woman. And she was literal. Almost supporting her family. I didn't ask too many questions, but this woman was out there asking for money and saying, you know, blessings for people. And she was very smart. She remembered people's names too.
And so when I would see her, I would give something. And then when Christmastime came along, I asked if there was something specific. She mentioned the sneakers for, you know, a grandchild and I, and I got that for her. And so, um, there's certain ways to do it. Like I'll give somebody money on the corner if they're juggling knives or doing some sort of acrobatic event.
Yeah, sure. I'll give you a couple dollars. But then when you see somebody every day and you realize they're part of your community, it's, it's something where people want to take care of them. It's interesting how neighbors will talk about this individual that you saw and they start learning about them.
And so this is a culture that really likes to take care of their own. And I've seen on the side, like if you walk past the banana plantation, they'll be a worker there and you're just walking and he's like, Hey, would you like a few bananas? You know, it's just, people are always sharing and they're always, um, Once again, trying to make people feel welcome, but I don't see it that bad.
I don't see really tent encampments here. We just see certain packets of the city that might have individuals, as I've mentioned that.

People's rights to bodily integrity is one of the most important rights a person has. Brit Shalom was designed as a violence free welcoming ritual for Jewish families to welcome their child to the world. If the person wants to sacrifice part of their genitalia for religion, that's their right when they're a fully informed, consenting adult.
A quiet revolution is taking place in the United States. Parents of every religion are learning the brutal truth about circumcision and keeping their sons intact.
Christians in the West don't know what it's like to be illegal for believing in Jesus Christ. We take it for granted that our governments are Christian too... or at least that they are tolerant of the Christian religion. But we know from Bible prophecy that this tolerance is going away. The world is becoming progressively anti-Christian, and one day, you will be considered a criminal unless you denounce your faith in God. If you don't prepare for this time now, you will almost certainly turn from God when the going gets tough. This video will help you to prepare, so please watch it, and then write to us if you want to link up with others who are also preparing to be illegal for Christ.
The whole world is relieved by the results of the 2020 US presidential election. Donald Trump will not serve another term, and the United States will once again be made great under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris... or will it? You see, a very serious problem exists on both sides of the political spectrum, and until we address the REAL elephant in the White House and in the rest of the country, we'll never make America great again. Regardless of your religious or political affiliation, are you willing to confront this uncomfortable truth? Watch this video, and then write to me to tell me if you are.
A Voice in the Desert has been accused of being a religious cult, led by an autocratic dictator like Jim Jones. Well, what if that's true? What if our community IS a scam? Will you let your fear of that possibility stop you from acting on the Truth that you've heard on this channel? How can you be sure that what you're hearing is the Truth, and not just clever tricks to control you? Believe it or not, this video will tell you how!
The Bible tells us that, in the last days, men will be lovers of themselves, and that real love shall wax cold. Of all the signs of the times, this increase of self love and terrible lack of Godly love is the most apparent. We occasionally hear of yet another selfie tragedy, where people are injured or killed for the purpose of getting a snapshot of themselves. Will you be sucked in to the lie of self love, or will you choose to stand against it at the risk of being unpopular and "lame?"
Romans 4:2-5 is one of those passages, along with James 2:21-24, and Hebrews 11:8-10, which points to Abraham's faith and works through listening to God and forsaking all. The do-nothing preachers on both sides of the holiness debate rarely use these verses because they hate the forsake all teaching more than anything else Jesus taught. Instead they focus on the dead works of religion; rules about not swearing, paying your tithes, getting water baptised, etc. But like Jesus said in the Beattitudes: Abraham hungered and thirsted after righteousness and it was his faith, exemplified by his good works—his willingness to give up everything including his own son, Isaac—was what justified Abraham before God. This is exactly what is missing in the church world today.
What would Jesus do? That's a common question, but to find the answer, we really need to ask "what did Jesus say?". You may be surprised to learn just how different the teachings of Jesus are, compared to the teachings of the average church. The apostasy in the churches today is not being caused by people drinking and smoking; it's being caused by the rejection of the Cornerstone (i.e. Christ's teachings). As you watch this video, look up the Bible references given with the words of Jesus, and ask yourself if there is anything stopping you from practicing these teachings yourself. TO CONTACT: My email address can be found on the 'Community' section of my channel. What is "A Voice in the Desert"? A Voice in the Desert is anonymous. Its purpose is to point people to the message, rather than the messenger. Most modern day prophets promote themselves more than the teachings of Jesus and the true message of Revelation. A Voice in the Desert challenges that error and more. Some of the things you hear on this channel may be difficult to understand, and may offend you. The goal, however, is to sweep away dogmas and traditions to reveal what Jesus actually taught.

Jesus and Religion don't mix. Fake pastors have left out the Cornerstone, which is the teachings of Jesus. Jesus warned us about hypocritical religious leaders causing a problem with the church. So, if it's REAL Christianity you want, you better get serious about studying and acting on the words of Jesus Christ, the only perfect leader. This is video #4 in the Teachings of Jesus Series. TO CONTACT: My email address can be found on the 'Community' section of my channel. Note: Sorry, but there is a typo at 2:21 which should be a reference to John 8, 14-19.

'Inclusivism And Exclusivism: Is It Possible To Be Both?' explores the terms inclusivism and exclusivism in relation to religion. The labels we give people can differ from person to person and organisation to organisation, and it can lead to polarisation and confusion in religious circles. Peoples' views on who is right with God and who is in God's Kingdom usually fall short. And it questions whether there is anyone preaching faith in Jesus and his teachings today. Is your faith in Jesus? Or is your faith in your own denomination's formula for salvation? If it is the latter, isn't it time to truly hunger and thirst after righteousness by following the doctrine of Christ?
Even the most ideal political system will fall far short of the kingdom of heaven, as will the best churches that the world has to offer. Whether it's politics or religion, the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic has shown us that we cannot rely on the system to make the world a better place. Under mankind's leadership, political ideologies have only the power to destroy. Rather than choose between evil and evil, join us in choosing a radically different system of LOVE instead.
Francis Chan is leaving the United States! His announcement comes just a few days after our own announcement that we have decided to flee America, after receiving some powerful revelations from God in October 2019. So, the big question now is, where will Francis go from here? Will he attempt to set up just another church in Asia? Or will he step out from under the umbrella of organized religion, and start living by faith in the teachings of Jesus?
Are you wrestling with God's rules, as Jesus gave them to us? If so, you're not alone. The goal of this video is to get you to consider the eternal consequences of not obeying the teachings of Jesus Christ, but also the amazing benefits of abiding by those teachings. Religion and politics have imposed various laws of the land, some of which are good, and some of which are bad. But these rules should never take the place of Jesus' teachings. Will you give the Son of God a chance to call the shots? If you can do that, you will find your life improving in ways that no manmade system could ever do for you.
What is a Pharisee? They are not just characters from the Bible. They epitomise hypocrisy and false teachings, and we are still dealing with them today in modern-day Christianity...probably even in your own church. If you don't want to be deceived by the Pharisees, as so many people were when Jesus walked the Earth, you need to learn to recognize them, and do all you can to avoid getting sucked in by their respectability and lukewarm doctrines.
Whether it's politics or religion, the world ultimately divides itself into two sides, and during this coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, the world is dividing itself more than ever in the hopes of choosing the best political candidate to lead us to safety. Whether it's Left vs Right, or East vs West, you pick the side that lines up best with your political ideologies. But deep down, you know that neither side represents the ideal political system, and that you will always be left with one problem or another, regardless of who is in power. So what do you do? This video will show you.
The truth about Christianity today is that it bears almost no resemblance to the teachings of Jesus (the FOUNDER of Christianity!). The Christian religion has become just a system of man-made rules designed to keep the public serving the economic system, instead of working for God. How did this happen? How do we get back to true Christianity? Please take the next 10 minutes to hear something you almost certainly will not hear in any church.
What is Christianity? Who is Jesus? What is the Christian religion? And does it bear any resemblance to what Jesus taught? If you're looking for information on Christianity or just how to be a Christian, then give this video a few minutes of your time, and you'll hear 5 different definitions to answer: What is a Christian? They are guaranteed to make even the most dedicated Christian ponder, as you hear Christianity explained in a way that you probably never have heard it before.
Mankind's greatest mistake is that we have neglected to contemplate our Creator and King...the One whom we call God. Atheists claim that our existence is pointless, and creationists are often more interested in their religious games than they are in drawing closer to God. The end of the world as we know it is getting closer, and we'll soon need to stand before God and give an account of what we have done with our lives. Are you prepared to fall on your knees and hear God speak to you, so you can do what is needed right NOW...before it's too late?

A film about Homophobia. Put yourself in my shoes. "Everyone is going to Hell according to someone's religion"
Since March 2010 a change in the law has resulted in several cases of people being charged with hate crimes. Notably here in Derby we have seen the first UK prosecution of it’s kind for stirring up hatred on the grounds of sexual orientation.
The work presented here has been produced as a direct response to these highly publicised occurrences and it attempts to explore the feelings these crimes have provoked from the viewpoint of one of the recipients.
In keeping with a long tradition of re appropriation, the vocabulary employed, “Queer, Homo, Faggot” etc. these are the words of hate, they are really powerful words, and that is why they are used. Starting in the 70’s and 80’s homosexuals made an attempt to reclaim these words, to take away their power to hurt by using them themselves, thereby disarming the words and removing some of the venom.
The label “Gay” is fine. It has its place, but when a lot of gay men wake up in the morning they feel angry and outraged, not gay. So we’ve chosen to call ourselves queer. Using “Queer” is a way of reminding us how we are perceived buy the rest of the world.
You know, most of our Christian colleges and universities are highly dependent on Pell Grants and student loans for a percentage of tuition. Now we know as it relates to things like funding to build buildings, that if you're a pervasively sectarian institution, you can't get tax exempt financing to build a chapel, or tax exempt financing to build a wing that you're going to be teaching religion in. And the day could come where the federal government wil say that you can no longer get Pell Grants or student loans to teach religion. And so I think our Christian colleges and universities need to keep that in focus and recognize that some day in the future, that those majors will have to be restructured a bit, or they'll have to recognize that for their pure religion major or their theological degrees, that they're going to have to offer those at lower tuition rates and not be able to provide student loans or Pell grants for the student that are majoring in those areas.

Wie entsteht Rassismus? Und wie fühlt er sich an? 39 Menschen wollen es wissen und stellen sich vor laufender Kamera einem spannenden Experiment. Nur ihre Augenfarbe entscheidet über den Verlauf des Geschehens.
Zu Beginn des Experiments werden die Teilnehmer in zwei Gruppen eingeteilt. Die Blauäugigen werden von Beginn an gedemütigt, während die Braunäugigen erfahren, wie stark das Gefühl der Macht sein kann und wie sehr es gleichzeitig auch verunsichert. Widerspruch und Aufbegehren werden vom Anti-Rassismus-Trainer Jürgen Schlicher durch unbarmherzig autoritäres Auftreten sofort unterbunden. Ziel ist es, zu zeigen, mit welchen Gefühlen Menschen ihr Leben lang zu kämpfen haben, die wegen ihrer Hautfarbe, ihrer Herkunft, ihrer Religion, ihrer sexuellen Neigung oder ihres Geschlechts benachteiligt werden.

ARGUING THAT ISLAM IS A CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED RELIGION IS LIKE ARGUING THAT COMMUNISM IS A CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED RELIGION!!! One of the MOST IMPORTANT & REVEALING video discussions on the TRUE nature of Islam. This Lady is NOT taking it anymore and is STANDING UP for what EVERY True American should stand up for! Watch Listen and LEARN!!!! Ann Barnhardt’s lecture, “Islamic Sexuality: A Survey of Evil”. Recorded 9/12/2011 in Colorado Springs, CO. Please feel free to mirror and spread. This is in the public domain, and is produced and provided for the public good. This video contains very disturbing content and images. Children should not be present when viewing.
A prerequisite for giving da`wah and approaching others about Islam; its principles and credentials, is that the da`i be a mirror of the true deen (religion) they believe in. http://www.dawahskills.com/ https://twitter.com/Dawahskills https://www.facebook.com/dawahskillspage
The Episodes Adolf Hitler, The SS Blood and Soil, The Enigma of the Swastika, Himmler The Mystic containing mainly B&W as well as some color archival footage, with narration explaining the influences of alternative belief systems (occult, paganism, mysticism, etc) on the Nazi ideology and Hitler's personal philosophy. Also documents the history and development of the ideas and symbols that would be used along with eugenicist racial politics to perpetrate the murder and oppression of millions during World War II. In the early 20th Century, the young Adolf Hitler was just one of many German-speaking people attracted by a new Germanic mythology that combined ancient legends and esoteric cosmologies with cutting-edge theories of genetic science. In the hands of the Nazis, the result was a new ideology that saw racial purity as the key to human destiny. This was a belief-system of arcane rituals and potent symbols, with the ancient swastika appropriated for the Nazi cause. By the time of the Third Reich, Hitler and the Nazis had evolved an entirely new faith, complete with holy book, venerated relics and a priestly elite in the form of Himmler's SS. It was a religion based on obedience, power, and the cult of the leader, with Hitler himself conceived in Messianic terms. This series uses rare original footage to tell a story that is as bizarre as it is horrific, and which casts new light on a national movement that came to see evil as a sacred task.

Gilgit Baltistan, November 18, 2014: Gilgit Baltistan has become a shambled region in the hands of Pakistan. The growing unemployment and economic backwardness have kept the region in dark. Fake promises and the self governance ordinance of 2009 had made it clear that Pakistan is doing nothing for the region. The region of Gilgit Baltistan is in chaos. The non-state actors, who often incite people for violence in the region on the basis of different religion, rule the roost. The puppet administration also works hand-in-glove with them and often takes decisions in their favour.
