When Will You Have Had Enough?

Think people are free in the United States of America? This video will make you think again. It’s a chilling indictment of how the U.S. government is slowly but steadily dismantling constitutional protections of your liberties. Even the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution -- your right to the freedom of speech -- may be at risk.

Warning: This video contains images that may not be suitable for general viewing audiences. Viewer discretion is advised.





Dr. MercolaDr. Mercola's Comments:

One of the most poignant statements in this film is the quote by American politician Adlai Stevenson in 1952, who over 50 years ago said:

“The tragedy of our day is the climate of fear in which we live, and fear breeds repression. Too often, sinister threats to the Bill of Rights, to the freedom of the mind, are concealed under the patriotic cloak of anti-communism.”

"Today," the narrator continues, “it’s the cloak of anti-terrorism.”

All too often, it is fear that drives people to accept, without question, the numerous new threats to your personal freedom. They are introduced under the guise of protecting you.

This is the case with compulsory vaccinations, increasingly strict supplement regulations, and even the collection of the federal income tax.

Many liberties and basic rights are already being threatened, largely because profits and corporate greed -- not the will of the people -- are now the driving force of the United States. In my opinion they are your:

  • Freedom of Association
  • Freedom of Information 
  • Freedom of Speech 
  • Right to Legal Representation 
  • Freedom From Unreasonable Searches
Whether you agree with the statements made in the video or not, there’s one thing that most all Americans will agree on: the more that you become silent about important matters, the more your freedom will get chipped away.

Please, let’s not become silent about the freedoms, health-based and otherwise, that the United States was founded on. This Web site is an open forum for you to express your beliefs, and pass on important information to your friends and loved ones.

In 1952 Adlai Stevenson also said:

"It is far easier to fight for principles than to live up to them."

Zeitgeist is one of the top 10 most important documentaries ever made in my opinion.  It sums up so much of what we need to know Now!

You can also get it at www.onedollardvdproject.com  I highly recommend these dvds.  There is also a great compilation of Ron Paul.

Wow, thank you so much for posting this site.  My husband and I just watched it and were totally amazed to see all this info in one movie.  I am going to send it to everyone I know.  We already sign petitions, write letters and make phone calls. We knew that more needed to be done....but what?.... except spread the word.  We live in Bush country so it isn't easy!!

Standing ovation to Donna2, tedmpt, kczone, drace1, sutra and anybody else I missed: you are the voices of reason. Dr. Mercola, I came here from your email today to make a 1st-time purchase from you and become a long-term monthly customer. Instead you throw what kczone correctly (and understatedly) calls PARANOID NONSENSE in my face. So you just lost a new customer. For a professional with one of the net's biggest health sites and a thriving business, it's shocking that you could be so stupid and so blinded in your warped judgment as to mix your political beliefs with business. Kczone also called it right about your credibility. Your credibility is your stock-in-trade and you have risked it here big time. But of course, people of your persuasion--and I include every hate-driven looney tunes lemming that has agreed with you here--you all find it impossible to believe that anyone could disagree with you. As a result it is hopeless to reason with your type. But it would be so logical for you to study the issues in a rational way, search for the facts and think for yourselves. No, it's easier to allow yourselves to be brainwashed. Easier to play this silly, transparent, predictable, disgraceful blame-passing game that accuses others of being what you are and that describes imaginary circumstances that could only become reality if everyone were what you are. (Example: the imaginary loss of our freedoms as portrayed here vs. the reality that we would indeed lose them and our country by following you.) It's tragic that you have the supreme advantage of living in the finest, most humane country in the history of the world, one that holds every conceivable advantage out to you, yet you say everything against it; you promote defeat not victory; you won't acknowledge who the enemy is and that he really means it when he tells you flat-out that whe intends to kill you. It sickens people of reason that people of your mentality are giving radical Islam exactly what it wants.

Hi disgusted,

I basically agree with you yet I feel Dr. Merc is very reasonable.

I'd be surprised if he put this up there personally and not one of his "well-intentioned" staff and I plan to call him directly about this today.

Don't give up on the man for one terrible lapse in judgement.

Whichever side of the political fence you fall on, we can all at least agree that humans should be well-fed and properly nourished and keep our differing political views out of the whole arena.

Again, do people realize this was taken from a FICTIONAL TV SHOW?  This is not real court-room drama - people are showing their husbands and undergoing personal revelations from a clip showing James Spader in a court room scene from BOSTON LEGAL!  That's right, folks!  Take it for what it's worth, but if Dr. Mercola wants to be taken seriously for his medical information, he needs to cut it with the political stuff and stick to the reason people come to his site.  Otherwise, I truely believe his credibility will suffer.

I am so pleased to have Doctor Mercola's site to turn to, and his information on health and the health debaucles.  I am writing, however, to say that his politics infuriate me.  Whether or not their were mistakes made about the war, we have a real serious situation n the world, and these people don't fall under our protection and laws.  They want us dead, and they want Christianity and Judaim wiped out.  They have trained all their lives to kill Americans and Jews, and are using our laws as protection, when they don't apply to them.  Our President may make mistakes of ignorance, but never because of a lack of integrity.  The whole nation went to work against the world in WWII, and we gave up freedoms then to be one in a nation.  We must give up frewedoms for a time again, and it is for a good cause, to see our nation stand against this very real threat.  Please unite with our President and if you must condemn him, think of what your Bible says, and pray for your leaders.  As a country we need to be a united front, and quit being so selfish, worrying about what is in it for me.    Ron Logue

Thanks Dr. Mercola for speaking out, knowing that the dark energies would hiss and spew their vulgarities.  You will gain much more credibility with your posting. Everything that you speak up for is related to the politics we are currently working with.  The amount of responses who disagreed with your post is a direct confirmation of your hitting the nail on the head.  May you and others like Ron Paul continue to "light the way" for others to follow.  Blessings of peace and divine immunity to you.

In response to Catron1010,

Please consider.... where did you get your information?

"They have trained all their lives to kill Americans and Jews, and are using our laws as protection, when they don't apply to them.  "

I realized early on that the only reason I ever believed this info is because I heard it over and over again on the news. It's frightening how much of our 'own thoughts' have actually been drilled into our heads by our beloved telescreen. And, think about it..... what other reaction can a mass of people have to this type of information other than outrage and a willingness to do what it takes to over come such evil? Please question everything you know. We are being led right into the slaughter house... willingly.

"The whole nation went to work against the world in WWII, and we gave up freedoms then to be one in a nation.  We must give up frewedoms for a time again, and it is for a good cause, to see our nation stand against this very real threat."

Have you ever heard of the Carmine Group? Please do some independent research. WWI was started with the help of Bush's granddaddy and the Nazi's. They planned and started the war together and made a killing (pun definitely intended) in profits by selling weapons to both sides. Do you understand what this means? This means, the very first global-sized killing spree/war was planned and started by our own country. Never before had there been such a thing. So, before you re-iterate their jargoning, please consider that WWII may have been started as a facade to frighten us into willing giving up our freedoms. PLEASE QUESTION EVERYTHING YOU KNOW!!! We are being led into the slaughter house. WAKE UP PLEASE!!! FOR THE LOVE OF THIS GREAT COUNTRY!!!!

Good Job Doc; we should all open our eyes, hearts and minds to all that goes on around us.  Freedom is not free and we should not take it for granted...one day we could wake up and find it is all gone.  Patrick Henry said back in 1775 "It is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth..."  I wish that Dr Mercola were completely off the wall on the subject of freedom and liberty; but there are too many things that I have seen over the years that say otherwise.  Be informed and be alert and question that which does not look right to you.  Voice your concerns and if you need to, do something.  Isn't that being a good  American?

Truth?  Well I would have to agree with part II.  There is truth running throughout that whole segment, but don't be fooled people, part I is nothing but a lie when it comes to Christianity.  There is a lot of secular proof out there for the Bible being 100% truthful and for the death and resurrect
