“We have tortured and killed and maimed and raped around this planet. We don’t operate under international law; we have the law of the jungle”
Ken O’ Keefe is a former US Marine turned anti-war campaigner who appeared on a Press TV debate called Syria: War of Deception, and absolutely owned his opponent in such an awesome way that you’ll be cheering at his every comment.
Recorded in August 2013, this interview is now two years old, but in light of the current European refugee crisis it’s more relevant today than ever before. Passionate, articulate and knowledgeable about the subject matter, O’Keefe is the perfect guy to step up and tell these home truths- and boy, does he do a good job. This guy nails so many crucial points about the Syria situation in one interview, he’ll have you jumping around and punching the ceiling.
“We have tortured and killed and maimed and raped around this planet; who in their right mind would consider the United States or the West in general to be in any position to punish anybody?” the veteran begins angrily, going on to outline the evidence for Syria being a false flag attack (Note: leaked emails showing how Assad was framed by the USA are detailed in this cached Daily Mail report from January 2013, which was published online briefly before being removed).
He rightly points out that the USA dropped more bombs in Vietnam than during the whole of WW2 combined, that it regularly arms terrorists (but the mainstream press refer to them as ‘freedom fighters’ when it suits them) and the former marine also points out how the so-called ‘War on Terror’ is nothing more than a well-planned strategy to be in a “perpetual state of war to destabilize the region for the Greater Israel plan.”
“We don’t operate under international law; we have the law of the jungle in which the rich and powerful basically determine what goes and what doesn’t go.” O’Keefe shouts. He correctly points out that Bush and Blair would be “rotting in prison cells” if the law were administered equally to all, or even “executed if their own rules were applied to their own crimes“. He also acknowledges that these men are nothing more than puppets who “serve rich and powerful bankers who control the money supply.”
O’Keefe rants about the hypocrisy of the West, who are arming terrorist organizations in the name of ‘freedom’ for civilians in geo-politically strategic countries while turning a blind eye to vile human rights abuses in countries like Saudi Arabia. The only people who still fall for all this crap, O’Keefe passionately points out, are “bought-off prostitutes [our politicians] or the dumbest of the dumb.”
In short, this is a video you should consider sharing with anyone you know who is still under the illusion that the USA and Britain are doing good in the world, anyone who doesn’t believe the ‘conspiracy theory’ that 9/11 (or Syria, or Libya, or Afghanistan or Iraq) were not orchestrated attacks to further a sinister long-term goal of controlling the Middle East, and anyone who believes that the desperate refugees fleeing these countries we have systematically destroyed have no right to seek help from their oppressors in Europe and North America- after all, without Western imperialism, we wouldn’t have any refugees in the first place (more on that here).
Ken O’Keefe renounced US citizenship in 2001 and now holds Irish, Hawaiian & Palestinian citizenship. He says on his blog: “My ultimate allegiance is to my entire human family and to planet Earth.”
Well said.
Note, September 11th 2015: Some readers have pointed out there is no such thing as an ex-Marine. Thanks for pointing it out; this has been corrected in the text. Others have complained about the fact O’Keefe’s opponent cannot be heard. The long (20 minute) version, in which you can hear both parties have their say, can be found here.

Long, passionate and articulate yes, but this is not “whistle blowing” as he doesn’t have any solid evidence to disclose or to come public with. These are all just claims that can be debated (nothing to do with whether he’s right or wrong).
Chris Hedges regulary outlines with great accuracy the points he covered.
Evidence? It’s staring at you right in the face. History speaks for itself and there’s no “debating” fact. Enough is enough… suppose you think Global Warming is still debatable.
Obviously this douche bag is part of this whole scheme and by any chance, Is this who you really are?

Maybe it’s time to stop listening to people in power and start listening to the real people that actually live through these experiences. They would be more wiling to speak the truth than those in power trying to control us all.
IT’S BEEN GOING ON ALL THE TIME, THE RULERS OF OUR COUNTRY, PLUS OTHERS , HAVE ALWAYS CHOSEN WHEN AND HOW PEOPLE SHOULD DIE. WARS REDUCE POPULATION, AND CONTROLS HOW MANY PEOPLE WHO SHOULD LIVE. THE ANSWER IS THAT EASY. THINK FOR YOURSELF WHATS HAPPENED, AND HAPPENING. THE NUKE PLAN IS SUICIDE, BUT IT’S SHOVED DOWN OUR THROATS. THERE IS KNOW VOTE HERE, JUST SUBMISSION BY THE PEOPLE OF THE U S. OUR RIGHTS FOR THE AMERICAN CITIZENS, ARE RIPPED FROM US, AND ANY THING THAT STANDS FOR FREEDOM, AND THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE. WE ARE THE SHEEP TO SLAUGHTER; AND THE WEAK; NOT THE STRONG. OUR NATION UNDER GOD, IS CALLED, A NATION UNDER SATAN. PEOPLE ARE BEHEADED, AND ISIS WALKS FREE. OUR FLAGS WALKED ON, AND BURNED, AND NOT RESPECTED. OUR SERVICE MEN RECEIVE BAD MEDICAL TREATMENT,AND SALARIES. THEY WANT US DEFENCELESS, NO CURRENCY, GIVE OUR RIGHTS UP, SO WE WILL REVERT BACK TO SLAVERY. OUR COUNTRY BEING GIVEN AWAY TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER. OUR LAND BENEATH OUR FEET DOSE NOT BELONG TO US. MY OPINIONS ARE MINE TO SPEAK. FREEDOM IS NEEDED BACK IN THE UNITED STATES. GIVE ME LIBERTY, OR GIVE ME DEATH. GIVE ME BACK MY COUNTRY, UNDER GOD, AND MY FREEDOM.
You should really refrain from writing all in caps it makes your post harder to read and it makes it look like you are trolling..
So jjohson are you saying he’s wrong with any of his points, they all seem pretty damn accurate to me and I’ve done years of research which very obviously shows all this to be true
In saying so i must congratulate the machine on effectively brain washing 95% of the world
Look, we are talking about it for at least 40 years by now, whats wrong with all the faithfull people on earth? We got persecuted, we got shot, we got pushed into the suburbs of society and all YOU do is talk talk talk…. Me as an activist for participative economy and politics can tell YOU that our sole problem is you, uncapable to unite and not even promotion of those strong and tough men and woman risking their lives for YOU. Yes, showing face and name and telling these cowboys of evil “I am coming after you”. Instead we see internauts by the thousands and using our work and informations as their own not even referencing…and thats the reason why we are going to lose ALWAYS to those chess masters and fully paid muppets in key positions. Not because they are stronger than us, because the little inflated ego of each sofa rebel or short term hackers or intelectually limited demonstrators. THIS is war and it is a war of intelligence and unity and NOT of weaponery or law breaking actions because our entire future is at stake. Sorry for the outbreak here, but after 38 years of activism for earth and society I know for sure that the problem is with the general folks ONLY. Make yourselves an agenda and promise to awaken at least ten persons per year. If everybody does we get to the implementation of alternatives and if not, we never will and have to wait some idiot pushes the red button.
I’m not so sure accusing people of being asleep is really the right way of going about “awakening” them, and moving them to action either. Since you have been active for 38 years, you should, at the very least, have some sort of idea of what it takes to wake people up. So why not implement that, write an article or a blog post that would help achieve that goal. More people than you might think are indeed awake, but have no idea how or where to begin being active. As someone who is constantly involved in action, it might seem obvious to you, but not so for the average person. Besides, blaming the people for the situation they are in, has been proven, time and again, to be counterproductive.
WOWWWWW Horst, you hit the nail right on the head in every word. Listen up people, this is the absolute truth and if we all continue to just sit around and only run our mouths instead of actually getting involved and facing these demons, than we are all surely doomed. We have been fighting for more than the 38 years that Horst just admitted to fighting, but it can’t just be a few. We need at least 20% of the population to wake up and join together to take back what is rightfully ours and not for the wealthiest few. Standing together means actually setting up days and times to where we can all meet and march to a place like wall street or better yet the capitol in DC when they are all in session and we can occupy the building legally since it belongs to the people and refuse to leave till those responsible step down and face justice. PEOPLE WAKE UP!!!
The former marine speaks the truth.But what ,other then words of outrage ,are we to do about it?The wacko’s control the world ,using us as fodder for their ugly plans of making money ,which is never enough .I wish that the people,some day, will rise up and destroy these sick bastards ,taking every penny from them .But ,like the marine said ,there are too many sold out whore politicians who would sell their mothers for a buck,trying their collective best to keep us under control .
its all a rotschild family thing. the financial masters need this wars to perpatrate their devious plans against us the general populace. may God save us from their plans.
If we have to listen to every nut case who bombards us with his opinions and ignorance, then maqybe we should ask God for another flood to wipe out all the sick of the world. Inventions like ¨The dream of greater Israel¨and other nonesense, are originated in sick mind which are driven by drugs and ignorance. Problem is that there are always those who my believe the stories, like they believed for millenia that Jews kill a Catholic boy to make the mazot for passover. After all human brains are as good as the information planted in them or their capacity to distinguish beteen truth and hallucinations… This guy won a place of honoe in any mental assylum…
You are a Jew, a Khazar; hardly surprising to find an objection such as that.
“The dream of Greater Israel” is a documented part of Zionism – documented by the founders and various subsequent leaders themselves. (Ref. The Yinon Plan, regarding the current situation in the “middle-east” region. A strategic plan to break up the states which pose a threat to israel into smaller states based on ethnicity and sect.)

Quite standard tactic, labelling dissidents as insane; most well-known example being Soviet Russia. Friends of mine who refused conscription were put in the mental ward of the state hospital and dosed with Valium, and The psychiatristone Dr Levine molested them, telling them they had sexual problems and their penises were over-sensitive because they were not circumcised. Many years later, he was arrested for similar abuses in Canada.]
Avi Paz I totally agree with you, though the world is clearly showing signs we are back to 1938 again. Beside that, anyone beliving that Ken O’Keefe is an antiwar campaigner is totally misled. He’s just a racist posing as an antiwar campaigner and using the gullible, brainwashed people to implement his own racist agenda.
Whoa whoa whoa whoa!! I am in TOTAL AGREEMENT but why insult sex workers?! The sex workers of this world have more respectability than the banksters EVER COULD. Puppets is a more appropriate word. In fact the prostitutes that I know personally (and I know many) and I am one myself- have more value as human beings in the tip of their pinkies than all of the scumbags at the top of the pyramid scheme put together!! THANK YOU for speaking the truth otherwise, but you are insulting sex workers. Why do you think prostitution increased 150% in the country of Greece? People still need to buy diapers and feed their babies! In fact a great number of prostitutes are prostitutes thanks to those crony BANKSTERS and war mongers! In fact, the !! Decriminalizesexwork dot com!
Did you hear about Trump taking out Al-Baghdadi yesterday? I read that this guy was living in Syria. He was a ISIS leader so it’s good that he’s dead now.
