  1. I've watched everyone of TRNN videos; They are pure propaganda paid for by the Globalists. RESEARCH THEIR FUNDING!

  2. Dr King, the anticapitalist? Dr King, the reader of Marx, and supporter of nonviolent and nonpeaceful protest, per his own words and well known history?

    What do you think he would think about the US/NATO/CIA project to conclude 40 years of Cold War in hot war vs Russia, despite the USSR falling decades ago, and despite Russia being attacked repeatedly by US-supported Ukrainian nationalists and literal nazis?

    Hmm, let me think. Let's claim he supports Ukrainian nazis against "unprovoked Russian invasion". Let's put words in his mouth and ideas in his head, post mortem, post FBI assassination, that makes him sound pro-state. Let's.

  3. nah,,,the Real question is How would he feel seeing his legacy squandered by the victemhood mentallity of his own race

  4. It was shocking to read that MLK is on a tape recording encouraging a rape of a woman. He may have been a great civil rights leader but he wasn't close to being a good man when it came to his relationships with women. It was surprising to read what the FBI wiretaps showed.

  5. The people of Jackson Mississippi can't even get clean water and there's all this money for Ukraine. It's so sad to watch supposed progressives destroy thier credibility

  6. Sounds like she thinks Soros IS "the majority", since the 60s we basically have a choice between oil and uranium and one is better for the environment than the other if you're serious about the env.

  7. Dr.King would've kept saying cut the check ✔reparations 4 foundational blakkk AMERIKKKAN peepl descendants of AMERIKKKAN SLAVERY!!!!!! Don't use or icons 4ur foolishness and u ignore the debts owed 2 foundational blakkk AMERIKKKAN PEEPL DESCENDANTS OF AMERIKKKAN SLAVERY and send BILLIONS OF DOLLARS 2 UKRAINE but tell blakkk peepl we can't afford to give yall reparations 🤡💯😡🤬

  8. Have you already heard of the fact that Martin Luther King had lots and lots of women while he was married to his wife?
    Maybe that’s okay for somebody, But he treated these women in a way that is not okay at all. According to some reports, the number of these women is way beyond 200.

  9. What about our politicians investments in Defense industry stock ? Who is going to compensate them for their lost value in stock prices if we let the conflict end prematurely. Another 2 decade Afghanistan like duration would do just nicely for themselves.. why stop a good thing… Raytheon Corp is showing record earning again… . Only China actively invading Taiwan could be better…. soon……staytune for that

  10. The non proliferation treaty died when Russia was allowed to invade Ukraine and the US and UK chose not to honour the budapest memorandum. Not having nuclear weapons offers no protection from them being used against you, countries with nuclear weapons promised to denuclearize but instead increasedcand modernised their arsenals. The numbef of nuclear armed countries is going to greatly increase.

  11. You should do CNN expose video, showing their 2014 reports from Donbas actually telling truth to people how Ukraine is bombing civilians. The video is called "UKRAINE: DONETSK CITIZENS CRIPPLED BY WAR"

  12. Πρέπει να γίνουν συντομα οι κοινητοποιήσεις διάρκειας εμείς αντέχουμε να μεινουμε νηστικοι αυτοι δεν αντεχουν να μην μαζευουν λεφτα.Οι Ρώσοι είναι υποχρεωμένοι να επιστρεψουν στις συμφωνίες του Μινσκ 2.

  13. Οι Κουρδοι έχουν μια μητριαρχικη κοινωνία και γίνεται θαύμα εκεί.

  14. SCOTT RITTER. Bring him on for a serious discussion on NUCLEAR disarmament! Nuclear war is a practical matter not a philosophical position.

  15. The time to stop a war is before it starts by stopping the policies that contribute to starting wars. We have already proved that we would go to war if the Sovel Union placed missiles in Cuba and we would never let Mexico join the Sovel Union so why would Russia let Ukraine join NATO?

  16. War another word for diplomacy by other means
    No I am not a war monger. I was in a war in '70. "War is hell" W. Sherman
    War is an out dated thing we humans need to put a total stop to it and he weapons used to make it
    I am a total non-believer and those of u praying to stop war need to get up and stop praying and do something real about stopping war
