WARNING: This video contains some footage of aggression and war that may not be suitable for viewers who suffer from PTSD or are otherwise sensitive to such material.

The video presents a fictionalized narrative through the reconfiguration of Hollywood films, news, and other media to portray Jake Gyllenhaal coming of age and swaying toward a more pacifistic point of view. As such, the video is outspoken against the current wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, etc., and is critical of President Obama's sentiments toward war as professed in his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech and other interviews.

2. Three Cheers for Jake Gyllenhaal

This movie about sums up US foreign policy - we make enemies faster than we can kill them in order to protect the vital interests of the US empire -

Thanks for posting - Bring the Troops Home Now!

4. hear hear! bring them home NOW - no man of peace adds fuel to a fire - it's macho bullshit & an act

of aggression when, as people who have been over there doing covert ops have said, that small teams of guys do a great job taking down aggressors, far more than the horrors that a large scale invasion force does -


Stick that in your peace pipe & smoke it, because these wars are shameful.

5. I Think I Just Saw HOPE & CHANGE!! But Not From The ONE Who Promised

it!! Maybe, just maybe some of our outrage is catching on! The ground movement is in it's infancy and may this year LET IT GROW!!

NO MORE WAR! To those of you who disagree, I'm sorry... but I was around for Viet Nam and lost friends there! NO MORE WAR!! Was against it then and all the wars since!

The "whatever it takes" crowd may drown me out, but I stand for what I believe in! Obama, Congress and the rest can't do ENOUGH selling for me to think otherwise!

We are getting deeper and deeper into a place where we may NEVER recover from! ROME has loomed large in my brain for a very, very, very long time!! T.H.I.M.K!!! THIMK! Spelled wrong, done wrong!

6. When soulless wraiths bring this country to its knees and squander

its standing for pure greed, men of true substance and honor will rise though incredible odds to smite them with the guillotine of truth. Thanx Jake

9. Well spoken!!! NT

8. gotta love that OIL

to feel a war is that necessary. Hell, we could have bought the oil for the money and life we wasted.

Thank you for posting this!

10. Youtube, Viewcount Policy, and Censorship

If you watch the above video on youtube, it claims the video only has 328 views currently.

From the onset of the upload, I had to file a complaint that the video constituted a 'fair use' of all copyrighted content I sampled within it. The video was finally allowed to be published early in the morning yesterday, as NBC Universal attempted to block the video for my use of their content (Their film 'Jarhead' appears prevalently and unfavorably within it).

Yesterday, the video was stuck on 305 views for nearly the entire day. This morning, it logs an 'entire' 328. When I sign into my youtube account, however, the statistical breakdown I can dig up on the video claims that the viewcount is vastly more than 328. (Nearly double that 328 number actually... although I am suspicious of that estimate as well! Some 800 people viewed the thread here alone. Even if half of those clicked, it's still more than 328 just from DU viewership!)

I find youtube's 'algorithmic demotion' policy toward any video that is not family sensitive to be....'peculiar' at the least and 'untruthful' at worst. More on algorithmic demotion below. It's a watered down way of saying 'censorship toward anything we don't like.' People will undoubtedly say 'just put your content on another site' but no matter what the key point is: If something has a certain amount of views, it has that many views. Period!
