It says "2009", that's a long time to take down a video.

A true reflection of the soul of the American people. Even though this was shot in 2009 more average citizens have awaken to this truth that the government no longer represents the people. It is no longer a government of the people it is a government that stifles the people. The new world order will not happen under the present regimes regardless of their will.
A world without liberty and freedom is not worth being a part of. Remember the Iron Curtain, well now it's the stifle curtain! Peace!

How is it known that CNN want it banned?

Could it be, Anchor, that the video, made in 2009 and uploaded on 13 July 2011, was not available during the missing years and the personnel were CNN reps?

I hate to agree, but I must. Our founding fathers wrote an incredible document - our Constituion and Bill of Rights. A samll group of men met once a year to determine policies that would benefit the entire country. Now it seems that they are more concerned about re-election than doing what is right. JFK said it right "Ask not what the Coutry can do for you - ask what you can do for your Country" Our focus seems to have gone from this premise to "ask what I can get for free from my Country - ask someone else to pay for it". Our "political correctness" has kept us from doing what is right for the Country. We have lost our ambition; we have given away our strengths. We no longer manufacture anything - we outsource everything. Our strength was our people, our will, and our desire. Now we take from our people, we have no will to do things for ourselves but rely on others to do them for us; our desire is to have, not to earn.

We are teaching our children to pass tests, whereas in the past we tought our children to learn - pasing the test would be a given. We are giving up our face-to-face social skills in favor of Facebook and Twitter. These are powerful tools, but unfortunately we have allowed them to become our way of life.

If I sound cynical, it is because I have becomne a cynic - something I was not for over 50 years.

Fortunately I still have hope that our values can return. The video shows that our people still care. Our method of "revolution": is free elections. We saw the beginning of it in the last election. Independants have been given the unfortunate title of the "Tea Party". I would rather be known simply as an "independent". Too many people vote for labels - Republican or Democrat - without knowing what the individual stands for who is running for office. Remove the labels and people will actually have to listen to what the candidates say (what a unique concept!!!). Throw in terms limits and there will be no career politicians whose primary "job"" is to be re-elected. The amount of money spent trying to elect or re-elect could probably pay salaries for all the unemployed people of America. That's how you get an economy going.

Sorry to rant (and I could go on all day), but as an independent it is frustrating to watch everything I grew up believing disappear.

One final thought. I have been on a campaign telling everyone I know to re-read the book 1984. I hadn't read it since high school. It is scary how close we are. Big Brother - watch what you say on your cell phone, email, or Twitter (right Anthony Wiener?); Newspeak - "OMG are we there yet, Tnx"; If you see your parents doing anything against Big Brother you must report them - "Hello, DYFS". All of our rights were being taken away in the interest of National Security - look familiar??

Oh well, for some crazy reason I still have hope.

The video shows: A "reporter" looking for the kookiest people in a crowd, asking loaded questions, and proselytizing her own views. It has been said that "investigative" journalism has nearly disappeared, and that what is left is "source journalism" - which is a euphemism for a "reporter" actually being a stenographer, copying down whatever words the professional spin doctors (such as the White House press secretary) provides, and that gets printed as if it is vetted or investigated "news." But clearly, there is a third type of journalism shown in this video: "injected journalism" we might call it. A "reporter", with an overt or covert message injects that message into the mainstream news using whatever poor slob happens to be on the sidewalk as an unwitting shill.

ktlight, may I suggest that you use quotation marks to show that you are quoting someone else's words. The line "Watch this video before it is taken down forever. This might be your last chance" came from the person that uploaded the video, not from you, and you could easily prevent attacks on the messenger (you) by using quotes.

It's a 2-year old video, and was shot before the Tea Party was exposed as being funded by the Koch Brothers, and organized by oligarchical interests. But, we do all know that now, right?

I will say that probably the majority of faces in the crowd at the Tea Party gatherings were honestly upset with the US government, and had the guts to start making some noise. Unfortunately, what they did not realize was that there were (and are) think-tanks, psychologists, spin doctors, and advertising pros working for oligarchs to distort the onus, re-frame the problem, redirect the anger, and blend the message to include that which had been injected by the oligarchs. Thus we end up having people who know something is very damn wrong shouting to "reduce the size of government!" and to "stop regulating corporations!", rather than shouting that we the people demand a voice in government and that corporations (who have proven they will not self-police and self-regulate) need to be MORE regulated.

Yes, it's true that less regulations on corporations means higher profits and higher dividends to stockholders - that is the one and only way that less regulations on corporations can positively impact citizens (investor-class citizens, really.) But the Koch Brothers have got thousands of people shouting for less corporate regulation (as wars rage on, as more and more of the world's food supply is replaced with GMOs and infused with ever more poisons, while industrial and extractive industry pollution increases, while the public debt is increased by trillions being handed to banks under the table, while people lose their homes and savings from bank scams, etc.)

Possibly Flash, I don't know. But some things 'in the can' keep longer than others. On the other hand, we have a problem in France just now with a former minister who last week was getting information from this week's press, or so he claimed.
