worldvoting Brian Coughlan 2009-03-10 | This is what I've been busy with for the last few months. http://www.worldvoting.net http://www.worldvoting.net/c/india If you have any interest in this project, please promote this idea, particularly if you have contacts in India. Many thanks to virtualTed who created the vid. You can subscribe to Ted and see his other vids here : http://www.youtube.com/user/Virtualted The abolition of war is no longer an ethical question to be pondered solely by learned philosophers and ecclesiastics, but a hard core one for the decision of the masses whose survival is the issue. Many will tell you with mockery and ridicule that the abolition of war can only be a dream-that it is the vague imagining of a visionary. But we must go on or we will go under. We must have new thoughts, new ideas, new concepts. We must break out of the straightjacket of the past. We must have sufficient imagination and courage to translate the universal wish for peace-which is rapidly becoming a necessity-into actuality. General Douglas MacArthur

Extending Anarchists the Olive Branch Brian Coughlan 2008-11-16 | http://www.voteworldgovernment.org Nationalism is an infantile sickness. It is the measles of the human race.

Please Promote this Vid Brian Coughlan 2008-11-11 | http://www.voteworldgovernment.org http://www.voteworldgovernment.org/who.shtml Suggested Text for Promo Vids To your right are two links, the first is a referendum on global governance. Please go to that website and vote, wether you love or hate the idea. Please also promote this vid, and ask your subscribers to promote it, and have them ask their subscribers to promote it etc. In fact, please take the time to promote the site on other social networks you frequent such as yahoo forums, facebook and the like. The idea is not to manipulate a particular result, but to get as much participation as possible, to get people talking. If nothing else, this should be a fascinating social experiment. Not the first time Ytubers have done something like this of course, but the first time to my knowledge that a global referendum has been the purpose of this kind of viral effort. A recommended text is to the right if you would like to make your own promo vid. The second link, is the list of people on the board of voteworldgovernment.org, it makes for an interesting read. In the recent US election, we were treated to an astounding display of people power. The skillful harnessing of technology, enthusiasim and a yearning certainity that things could be better, to defeat the two most formidable political machines on the planet. If a black man, named Barack Hussein Obama can be elected President of the nation state leading the War on Terror, its safe to say that things are ... in flux. The pace of change in our world is accelerating, in fact its on an exponential curve. Consider that In 2004 YouTube didn't even exist, while in 2008, it dominated the US election. I'd like to see a genuine global election in my lifetime, using tools and technology as yet unimagined. If you agree, go and vote YES, if you think Im crazy, go and vote NO. The link is on the right. Alternate Ending for the sceptics. If you want to ensure that foreigners dont get to push red blooded {insert nationality here}s around, on the pretext of so called democracy, go and vote NO, if you think Im crazy, go and vote YES. The link is on the right.

The World Votes!! Brian Coughlan 2008-10-15 | http://www.iftheworldcouldvote.com http://earlyvoting.net/states/abslaws.php A few related sites : http://www.e-parl.net/eparliament/welcome.do http://voteworldgovernment.org http://www.simpol.org I am a citizen of the whole world. Diogenes 412 BC - 323BC It is quite clear that as long as the nations of the world spend most of their energy, money, and emotional strength in quarreling with words and weapons, a true offensive against the common problems that threaten human survival is not very likely. A world government that can channel human efforts in the direction of the great solutions seems desirable, even essential. Naturally, such a world government should be a federal one, with regional and local autonomy safeguarded and with cultural diversity promoted. Asimov, Isaac 1920-1992

A PC rant Brian Coughlan 2008-10-02 | PC's video was banned by YouTube and while I don't agree with everything he says, I do rather insist on his right to say it.

Engler, Whitman, Tommy Thompson, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, I mean, and these guys, this is all how you win a Texas race, just run it up, and it's not gonna work. Noonan: It's Over. Murphy: Still, McCain can give a version of the Lieberman speech and do himself some good. Todd: [can't really tell what he says, but he mentions something about "insulting to Kay Baily Hutchinson] Noonan: [says something I can't understand] Todd: She's never looked comfortable up there.. Murphy: Oh, fuck that. Todd: I mean, is she really the most qualified woman they can obtain? Noonan: The most qualified? No. I think they went for this, excuse me, political bullshit about narratives...[couldn't hear the end of it] Todd: Yeah, but what's a narrative? Murphy: I totally agree. Noonan: Every time Republicans do that, because that's not where they live and it's not what they're good at, they blow it. Murphy: You know what's the worst thing about it, the greatest of McCain is no cynicism, and.. Murphy and Todd together: This is cynical. Todd: And as you called it, gimmicky.

Richard Dawkins Rap - Beware the Believers Brian Coughlan 2008-03-29 | Hilarious animation about Richard Dawkins and other Atheists. DICKY D RAP!!! This is not mine. I'm not aware of any copyright holder, but OH MY DOG, it is funny. Tentative attribution to http://www.youtube.com/user/randomslice YT, take it down if I'm breakin' the law. The Lyrics My name is D to the I to C to the K, Yeah I'm the Dickie D, I gots my PhD and comin' your way on the Youtube to bust your world view so just listen to me and don't you argue. You see, this battle's been ragin' since Zeus was on the bottle,'tween Science like Democritus and Faith like Aristotle, who said the mover was unmovin' like some magic trick but that's no good logic, my posse is far too quick for this religious sthick. Cos science is the only way to know y'all, you stand with me y'all, or you can fall y'all So go ahead and take your pick... ES: Yeah you tell him Rick ... Darwin : Cos if you don't know me ... RD: YOU DON'T KNOW DICK!! Chorus : Yeah he's the Dick to the Dawk to the PhD, he's smarter than you he's got a science degree! Yeah he's the Dick to the Dawk to the PhD, he's smarter than you he's got a science degree! SH:On the shoulders of midgets we built up this machine, DD:YEAH!!! RD: Science silenced that watchdog wingnut Paley growing stronger and harder almost daily, storming Wilber by force as we framed the discourse that faith and science are split in schismatic divorce. Then Darwin took to the seas to see what no one had seen, and ever since then we've been increasingly keen, they may never adore us, but they'll no longer ignore us, give it to 'em PZ hit these BLEEP with the chorus!!! Chorus : Yeah he's the Dick to the Dawk to the PhD, he's smarter than you he's got a science degree! The Dick to the Dawk to the PhD, he's still smarter than you he studied biology! Then there was Darrow dukin' it out with the straight and the narrow, a ragin' bull in the ring, he did his thing, and took it on the chin like he was Bobby De Niro. We might have lost at Scopes, beaten down by the dopes, and the stooges of popes, but in losin' we coped, becomin' more than we hoped, creationists slipped on the soap of their own slippery slope. What was impossible, improbable, is now wholly unstoppable untoppleable, the Dick Doc'll roll up as you creationists foldup you haters talkin' bull, don't you know that this Dick is un-cock-frickin' blockable ... Chorus : Yeah he's the Dick to the Dawk to the PhD, he's smarter than you he's got a science degree! The Dick to the Dawk to the PhD, he's still smarter than you he studied biology! Now the machine of our making, sees culture ripe for the taking, Cos I'm the rappinest, rabidest atheist who unlike the Catholic, Muslim or even the Jew, believes that no God but science could ever be true, hell if I was dyslexic I'd even hate "dog" too. Time to open your eyes, get yourself wise, the age of science will rise to be religion's demise, and while you churchies all cry, shouting 'why God oh why,' I'll still be poppin' my collar earning more dollars than Allah. Hollah! Chorus : Yeah he's the Dick to the Dawk to the PhD, he's smarter than you he's got a science degree! The Dick to the Dawk to the PhD, he's still smarter than you he studied biology! Chorus : Yeah he's the Dick to the Dawk to the PhD, he's smarter than you he's got a science degree! The Dick to the Dawk to the PhD, he's still smarter than you he studied biology!
Cretins for Christ - Ronald Weinland Brian Coughlan 2008-03-16 | Its that time of the century folks, time for some kook to predict the end.

The Ballad of Sally Kern Brian Coughlan 2008-03-11 | SIGN THE PETITION REQUESTING THE TERMINATION/RESIGNATION OF SALLY KERN http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/request-to-terminate-sally-kerns-position-house-of-representatives The Ballad of Sally Kern http://digitalcuttlefish.blogspot.com/2008/03/ballad-of-sally-kern.html At the end of the video I use Martin Niemollers piece about the gradual exclusion of minorities, and the danger of apathy in the early stages of fascism, when firm, vocal and peaceful action can still stop the rot. I did take the liberty of amending the targets of discrimination to make it more relevant to a modern audience. The original German text, with its English translation, I include below. Als sie die Kommunisten geholt haben, habe ich geschwiegen. - denn ich war ja kein Kommunist. Als sie die Sozialisten und Gewerkschafter geholt haben, habe ich geschwiegen. - denn ich war ja keins von beiden. Als sie die Juden geholt haben, habe ich geschwiegen. - denn ich war ja kein Jude. Als sie mich geholt haben, hat es niemanden mehr gegeben, der protestieren konnte. First they came for the Communists, - but I was not a communist so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, - but I was neither, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews, - but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.

A Whale of a Tale Brian Coughlan 2008-02-24 | Another episode in my new series, "Cretins for Christ". Today we meet Mike Mickey, (his real name apparently) a post dispensational pre-millennialist (or something), eagerly anticipating the return of Christ, the Rapture and the resurrection of the faithful. He positions himself as a "skeptic", although I'm not sure he is actually clear on what the word means. His current "skepticism" relates to the evidence for the evil-you-shun of the whale. His position? God did it. Evidence? Says so in the Bible, right there in Genesis. Pithy. The original article : http://www.reuters.com/article/scienceNews/idUSN1963835720071220?pageNumber=2&virtualBrandChannel=0&sp=true The original vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muqBzqWgHuY Cool vid on ACTUAL Whale evolution : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2C-3PjNGok -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This video is a "fair use parody & commentary", and as such is not in violation of DMCA. Filing a DMCA takedown notice, will result in an IMMEDIATE counter filing (under section 512 http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap5.html#512), AND a request to YouTube to remove the account raising the spurious DMCA, given that you have been clearly advised against this action, and been provided the information showing such a course of action quite frivilous, and without merit. YouTube are obligiated to reupload a video in receipt of a DMCA, on receipt of the counter filing, at that point it's off to court. So you'll just be wasting everyones time, maybe get your account cancelled AND be liable for any legal costs I incur. Unless you are Microsoft, can afford to loose the money or simply wish to provide me with an all expenses paid trip to the US, I'd recommend you back off.
