Guys, without a doubt this is one of the most awesome lectures I have seen in a while!
In this lecture, Mr O'keefe talks about his life growing up in Southern California, his horrible experiences in the military, racial issues, the faults with protesting, 911, and eventually what he did once he was disillusioned with the US government and American history.

Description of Ken O'keefe:
According to Wikipedia, "Kenneth Nichols O'Keefe is a naturalised Irish, Palestinian and Hawaiian citizen and activist, he is also an ex-U.S. Marine who served in the 1991 Gulf War and subsequently spoke out about the use of depleted uranium as a "crime against humanity" and the US military using soldiers as "human guinea pigs" with experimental drugs that were directly linked to Gulf War syndrome. He is an American born citizen who renounced his US citizenship on March 1, 2001. He is also a social entrepreneur utilizing direct action marine conservation, but he is more widely known for leading the human shield action to Iraq and as a passenger of the MV Mavi Marmara in which he participated in "defending the ship" and "disarming two Israeli Commandos" during the Gaza flotilla raid."
All we know is Ken O'Keefe is the 'real deal'. He acts and speaks with honesty and integrity as he shares with us his history and then experience as a member of the Gaza Flotilla -- as if told from one generation to another -- in a different world and a different time.
Ultimately, as a world citizen for all eternity, he is a soldier and poet of The Truth.
