http://brain-terminal.com/posts In early 2003, Brain-Terminal.com released the first of many short videos. "Protesting the Protesters" put the website on the map after Brit Hume showed clips of the video on Fox News. The following day, Rush Limbaugh aired audio clips, and Brain-Terminal.com quickly became a pre-eminent source for unique online video.

This video memorial, taken from footage shot by eyewitness David Vogler, shows New Yorkers waking up to that grim reality. Crystal Morning tells the story of September 11th, 2001 through fire and ambulance radio calls, the 911 call of a trapped World Trade Center worker, and the lens of local resident who saw an explosion while walking to work. http://brain-terminal.com/posts/2006/09/05/crystal-morning http://brain-terminal.com/posts/2006/09/05/crystal-morning Tue, 05 Sep 2006 00:00:00 +0000 Evan Coyne Maloney 6:55 AllPosts WorldAffairs RadicalIslam Terrorism Video September11th FrontPageFeatures BrainTerminalVideo NewYorkCity Washington, DC - 20 January 2005 - Inauguration Day President Bush's re-election left some Americans distraught and depressed. And with Inauguration Day set to rub salt in those still-healing wounds, I decided to act in the interest of national unity and extend an olive branch across the great Red/Blue divide. The election may not have gone the way the Inaugural protesters wanted, but at least I could make sure they didn't leave Washington empty-handed; thanks to the folks at HeroBuilders.com, I had some nice consolation prizes to give away. Would my overtures of peace be rebuffed? Can simple kindness stave off the revolution that some disgrunted Democrats predict? http://brain-terminal.com/posts/2005/01/26/stop-bitching-start-a-revolution http://brain-terminal.com/posts/2005/01/26/stop-bitching-start-a-revolution Wed, 26 Jan 2005 00:00:00 +0000 Evan Coyne Maloney 7:13 AllPosts Politics Protests PeaceMovement KerryJohn Video Campaigns038Elections BushGeorgeW BushAdministration typelegacy FrontPageFeatures BrainTerminalVideo Highlights New York City, 24 June 2004 Bill Clinton's latest attempt to define his legacy is a 957-page book called My Life. Though panned by the New York Times as "sloppy, self-indulgent and often eye-crossingly dull," thousands of people still stood on line for eight hours or more to have the former president sign their copies. As the line snaked around the corner of Broadway and Wall Street in lower Manhattan, I asked the autograph-seekers for their thoughts on Bill, his book, and his legacy. http://brain-terminal.com/posts/2004/06/29/the-clinton-legacy http://brain-terminal.com/posts/2004/06/29/the-clinton-legacy Tue, 29 Jun 2004 00:00:00 +0000 Evan Coyne Maloney 7:42 AllPosts Politics Economic038TaxPolicy ClintonBill Video ClintonAdministration typelegacy FrontPageFeatures BrainTerminalVideo Highlights New York City, 20 March 2004 Some people would like you to think President Bush lied when he talked about Saddam Hussein's weapons. The funny thing is, many of the president's current critics are politicians who made strikingly similar claims about Iraq in the not-too-distant past. When Bill Clinton was in office, his fellow Democrats had much to say about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. But if you listen to them now, you might conclude that the entire party suffers from collective amnesia. Democrats used to talk tough about Iraq. They did when one of their own was in the White House. And they did when polls showed it was politically helpful to support President Bush. But now, it's campaign season, and they've changed their tune. To find out if the spin was sticking, I impersonated a game show host and quizzed a few protesters about some particularly hawkish quotes from notable Democrats. http://brain-terminal.com/posts/2004/03/24/pin-the-tale-on-the-donkeys http://brain-terminal.com/posts/2004/03/24/pin-the-tale-on-the-donkeys Wed, 24 Mar 2004 00:00:00 +0000 Evan Coyne Maloney 7:54 AllPosts Politics WorldAffairs Iraq Protests PeaceMovement Video Campaigns038Elections BushGeorgeW BushAdministration ClintonAdministration typelegacy FrontPageFeatures BrainTerminalVideo Highlights New York City, 15 January 2004 On January 15th, New Yorkers awoke to single-digit temperatures and a few inches of new snowfall. Al Gore chose the day to give a speech on global warming. The speech--delivered at the Beacon Theatre on Manhattan's Upper West Side--was sponsored by MoveOn.org, a website-turned-political-action-committee that recently gained notoriety by hosting two political ads equating President Bush with Adolf Hitler. Although such comparisons were common at anti-war rallies, I still wasn't sure whether this mindset was now infecting the Democratic base--the sort of folks who'd brave the cold to hear Al Gore speak. To find out, I spent a few shivering hours outside the Beacon. http://brain-terminal.com/posts/2004/01/19/gettin-a-moveon http://brain-terminal.com/posts/2004/01/19/gettin-a-moveon Mon, 19 Jan 2004 00:00:00 +0000 Evan Coyne Maloney 7:07 AllPosts Politics Protests Environmentalism PeaceMovement Video Campaigns038Elections BushGeorgeW BushAdministration typelegacy FrontPageFeatures BrainTerminalVideo GoreAl Highlights Rutgers University, 11 October 2003 Mary Lou is an articulate spokeswoman for liberal causes. She is also an example of why so many on the left refer to President Bush's intellect in derogatory terms: their standards are simply too high. It is unfair and unreasonable to expect that every candidate for elective office demonstrate the level of mental acumen shown in this speech. Watch, and you will see why Mary Lou is my new favorite protester. http://brain-terminal.com/posts/2003/11/03/my-favorite-protester http://brain-terminal.com/posts/2003/11/03/my-favorite-protester Mon, 03 Nov 2003 00:00:00 +0000 Evan Coyne Maloney 2:49 AllPosts Protests Funny IsraelPalestine Video typelegacy BrainTerminalVideo Rutgers University, 11 October 2003 This video is the follow-up to last week's posting about the pro-Palestinian conference and rally at Rutgers University: I was now completely encircled. When I tried to escape, the protesters then started smacking the camera with their signs, while others were shoving me from different directions. I started retreating, pushing my way back from the loudspeaker, all the while leaving the camera running and asking the protesters why they weren't letting me film. Just when the scuffle between me and the protesters seemed like it was about to take a turn for the worse, I remembered that there were some cameras present from a few mainstream media outlets. I started yelling, "Why are you trying to censor me?" The idea was to attract the other cameras, thinking that the protesters would back off if their actions were captured by the news media. The gambit worked: we were soon surrounded by cameras. http://brain-terminal.com/posts/2003/10/20/when-protesters-attack http://brain-terminal.com/posts/2003/10/20/when-protesters-attack Mon, 20 Oct 2003 00:00:00 +0000 Evan Coyne Maloney 8:40 AllPosts Politics Protests IsraelPalestine Video typelegacy FrontPageFeatures BrainTerminalVideo HigherEducation Highlights More info... While Michael Moore was delivering his infamous speech at the Academy Awards, every single documentary filmmaker nominated for an Oscar stood behind him in solidarity. The fact that liberals dominate the industry is even more significant given the recent changes in campaign finance laws. Moore and his fellow filmmakers are free to embed their opinions in movies, but citizens who want to finance political ads will discover new limits to their freedom of speech. What would Mr. Moore have to say about this? To find out, I staked him out over the course of four days. http://brain-terminal.com/posts/2003/09/19/michael-moores-call-to-arms http://brain-terminal.com/posts/2003/09/19/michael-moores-call-to-arms Fri, 19 Sep 2003 00:00:00 +0000 Evan Coyne Maloney 7:35 AllPosts Politics Hollywood MooreMichael Video typelegacy FrontPageFeatures BrainTerminalVideo Highlights San Francisco, 15 March 2003 The same weekend that I filmed the original Protesting the Protesters video in New York City, Kfir Alfia and Alan Davidson assembled a group to infiltrate the San Francisco protest with signs mocking the protesters.
