OK, I swear that this is my last 9/15 ANSWER/Code Pink anti-war protest blog post.
But you must understand: there's a story here.
After I created and uploaded my final video to YouTube I slapped my head in solipsistic disgust and said "Geez! I didn't use that great image of the Soviet flag being raised ..." [I really wanted to use that image. Damn ... I loved that image]. So I started to think what else I could use it in and ... voila ... the videos you see on this page.
The reason there are two is that nothing I could do to the file would force YouTube and their conversion process to render the proper resolution ... everything I tried left the image way too lossy for my taste. So, what the heck I thought ... I'll just make my own Flash file and upload that into a webspace available to me and call it a day ... and damn the bandwidth issues.
So, here's the good file:
[I'm having some server issues, so the link may have disappeared for a while. It will return.]
And here's the YouTube version if you start having bandwith issues:
Please enjoy. I purposefully parodied Soviet-style propaganda imagery and timing. At least I tried to given the material and the fact that this was completely impromptu.
For those of you who may think that the Soviet flag seen in the above-video was some sort of anomaly at these anti-war protests, or that the above-video doesn't illustrate a deep truth underlying these events, here [below] is one of the "official" Code Pink banners leading the march ... as for ANSWER ... well, just click on the "ANSWER" label at the bottom of this post to see all the other ANSWER events I've covered. You'll get the picture. Literally.

This may be the single most disgusting video I have seen this year. I'm all for freedom of speech, but a part of me, a big one, wants to lead a squad of riot police in there with the rubber bullets, CS, and water cannons to clean this filth off the streets. Urrgh!

The insanity in the West seems to know no bounds. I think we should just get on with the violent revolution these "peace protestors" are asking for.
Excellent!
It is so BLOGGED too!

Now I'm having flashbacks to that day. Disgusting ignorant traitors! Blech! I wish they would listen to reason, investigate what we are truly up against instead of swallowing propaganda or just being cowards... The only way they'll possibly ever see the truth is when it's too late- and even then many will still attempt to point their fingers everywhere else but at themselves and the terrorists...
I really just want to know why they still live here. If these other countries are so great, MOVE THERE! Let's see if they can spout their nonsense in those countries.
Thanks again Charles! Seeing is beliving...even when you hate to believe what you see.
