[...] Second, accusing the government of complicity in events of the magnitude of 9/11 undermines the people’s faith in government. It goes beyond partisan politics and attacks the very fabric of the social compact. Whether you are a Republican or Democrat, your sworn obligation is uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States, and that obligation includes the protection of its people and their traditions of representative government–regardless of your nihilistic politics and anti-corporate blood lust. Van Jones’s–and the environmentalists–hatred for all things corporate and all things traditionally American have distorted their senses and perverted all sense of reason. If you don’t believe me, Exhibit A is this (allegedly unauthorized) ad for the World Wildlife Foundation, comparing 9/11 to the Christmas Eve Tsunami: (there was also a video version, no longer available online) [...]

Thanks for the link!

Another question.

If this ad was not intended to be played in the USA,
Why are the words in English?

DSchoen — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 18:15:26 +0000

Well if DDB does not own the rights to this video, then Text can be changed legally and this could make a very powerful message. Premier anyone?
Sanmon on September 2, 2009

If DDB does not own the rights to this video, then why has the video been removed with this message?

Video not available due to copyright claim by DDB BRASIL

Haha. The video is no longer available because of a copyright claim by the firm that claims they had nothing to do with it.

sooo America caused the tsunamis? I don’t get it what’s the logic link between the two?
Alden Pyle on September 2, 2009 at 9:58 PM

Not America, Bush. Chaos Theory.

The butterfly effect?

If Bush waves his hand in say, China, a tsunamis will be formed and destroy NYC?

Any bets that Al Gore is behind this ad?

Ya know Al Gore used CGI, computer generated graphics in his little film.

And into my “evidence locker” it goes. Thanks for catching that. Talk about a video begging to be ripped for posterity. Not all that often the watermelon misanthropes let the mask slip, and we get 2 shining examples (this and the Greenpeace doofus on BBC admitting they overhyped their claims) in under a month!

I just have to wonder if this whole thing is a stunt – seems like such a green/Liberal thing to do. Everyone sees it yet no one ever gets completely blasted for putting it out there. After all, this ad is sure getting a lot of exposure for a campaign that was dumped. Maybe just another underhanded effort to de-sensitize us to the horror that was/is 9/11.

And yes, at this point, I’m that suspicious of Liberals.

“So if they think they can equate our attack with natural disasters they can minimize it and “convince” us to care more about theirs than our own.

The big difference Katiejane is the term you use; “natural disasters.” Natural disasters do not target specific people, terrorists do.

So….DDB Brazil says they know nothing about the video but the video is removed because of copyright claim by…DDB Brazil.

The giddy America hating crowd never think that Americans will see their little vids and pics. It is the internet age, we see everything. Like Van Jones, once they apologise their indiscretions are forgotten. Right?

This ad from a known left leaning group shouldn’t really suprise anyone. I know I’ve read comments from people in this country moaning about how self-centered Americans are to think that 9/11 is such a big deal if they don’t anguish more for the tragedies like the tsunamis. (see Dave Rywall’s comment for near term example)

So if they think they can equate our attack with natural disasters they can minimize it and “convince” us to care more about theirs than our own.

So DDB says they didn’t create it but when I click the video it says it’s been removed due to a copyright claim by DDB.

Even as Obama bribes Brazil to his bidding (anti-USA) with the billions to develop Brazilian oil drilling/refining production for CHINA, we witness exactly what Brazilians wish upon the USA. Why be satisfied with billions when you can take it all? DDB Brasil proves that Obama is NOT improving American relations abroad, and can't buy love, just disdain for trying. On the other hemisphere, how will Obama get out of Afghanistan? Cede the battle to Russia that wants it back. "We want to be inside" Obama's @ss. God knows, Obama doesn't know how to allow our military to win, refusing to observe his own advice to "Just be quiet and get out of the way." But Obama knows well how to serve Marxism; that is ALL he knows: Sabotage our Constitutional Government, defeat our own military from Washington, sell us all down the river.

By James G. Neuger Sept. 2 (Bloomberg) -- Russia is seeking a role in planning NATO’s war in Afghanistan two decades after Soviet forces were ejected from the country. As East-West ties improve under President Obama, Russia wants to be involved in setting the political, military and intelligence strategy for the war against the Taliban, said Dmitry Rogozin, Russian ambassador to the alliance. “We want to be inside,” Rogozin said, in English, in an interview in Brussels today. He spoke for the rest of the hour- long session through a Russian translator.

Obama's already given everything from NASA to Russia, forfeiting America's presence on the moon by prohibiting NASA from returning for the next 20 years, AS IF the moon isn't the most important landing site and satellite defense center just outside our atmosphere that would provide for our own nation's interest and security vs. nuclear blast EMP; AND Obama prohibits treaty-contracted US missile defense in Poland while tolerating-ignoring Russian missiles in Cuba and Venezuela from the Atlantic and Gulf and in the guise of defense vs. N.Korea, more Russian missiles set and prepared to take down Japan and Alaska from the far North Pacific and Bering Sea.
