I see a man saying &#8220;hey speak out against tyranny&#8221;, but there is no call for a revolution. I see a man saying our civil liberties are being eroded by an over bearing government that has too much power. I see a man saying reach out to your representatives and tell them to put a stop to this.<\/p>\n<p>Edward Snowden and other whistleblowers can be looked at as patriots or traitors but the fact remains because of what they have done we know we&#8217;re all under massive surveillance for no reason. We are under surveillance for simply expressing ourselves and existing. We have done nothing wrong, and that in itself isn&#8217;t an excuse for the NSA or other agencies to watch us &#8220;if we have nothing to hide&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>I hear too many people saying &#8220;so what I have nothing to hide who cares&#8221;. What people who say things like this don&#8217;t realize is you have given away more of your rights and freedoms by thinking this way. And that boys and girls is the message I believe Stone is trying to get across in the video. Speak out, put a stop to this or <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">we will lose<\/span> more of our civil rights\/ liberties.<\/p>\n<p>We can fight the left and a tyrannical government without bloodshed. Whomever is responsible for renaming the video and spreading it around as a call for a revolution <strong>shame on you!<\/strong> You are no different from the race hustlers trying to start trouble in Florida or even <a title=\"Schumer Predicts Massive \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcCivil Rights Movement\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 If House Blocks Pathway to Citizenship\" href=\"http:\/\/savingtherepublic.com\/blog\/2013\/06\/schumer-predicts-massive-civil-rights-movement-if-house-blocks-pathway-to-citizenship\/\">Chuck Schumer<\/a> calling for mass uprising if the left doesn&#8217;t get its way with immigration reform! You&#8217;re trouble makers, and those of us seeking to restore this nation to its Constitutional glory will not tolerate any of you!<\/p>\n<p>Anyone calling for a revolution, violent uprising etc has no idea what they are talking about nor have they weighed the ramifications of starting an actual fight. This is the real world, real people, <strong>INNOCENT<\/strong> people will get hurt and die because a few of you watch too many movies and listen to <em>alarmists<\/em> who are only in business to profit off of your paranoia! It never goes the way you see it in your head or  in a movie! I would suggest watching some hardcore videos coming out of Syria right now for you Rambo wannabes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aclu.org\/blog\/national-security\/oliver-stone-dont-stand-while-nsas-surveillance-machine-eats-our-civil\"><strong>h\/t ACLU<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a video you will find going viral soon because it was renamed &#8220;Oliver Stone Calls For A New American Revolution!&#8221; Sorry to tell those of you with a death wish I didn&#8217;t hear&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_options":[]},"categories":[316,9204],"tags":[2881,30554,30547,2035,10886,619,17487,1863,29114,29712,22948,30551,29272,1026,30550,5511,30548,26749,15662],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/savingtherepublic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17556"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/savingtherepublic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/savingtherepublic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/savingtherepublic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/savingtherepublic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17556"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/savingtherepublic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17556\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/savingtherepublic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17556"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/savingtherepublic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17556"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/savingtherepublic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17556"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
