I've been meaning to purchase this.
The first I've seen it available online.
I have no words. Those who already know the depths to which America has fallen, don't need me to say it again.
Those who aren't aware can't be reached.

It is an Excellent film, really well done. Production quality outstanding. Kronos did the most of the music, which also outstanding. Was glad to see Skywalker Ranch do the sound. Interesting list of credits.
Jeremy Scahill... outstanding work.

We are in WW3 and this country has gone crazy...I don't even recognize it anymore.

There is hope, as I've been trying to report, the MSM in Europe is turning against Big Brother. And not just that - the people in Europe are out in the streets. Again something I try to highlight, seldom with much success. Maybe it's more convincing when people read the roundup at Troikawatch.
I'm not sure about America, honestly. I have feared for your safety for quite a while now. The time is running out.

(18,998 posts)We have a very big and dangerous military industrial complex that seems bent on murder and destruction.
And it pisses me off because I was raised to believe that we were that shining city on the hill that the world looked up to for freedom and justice.
Yep the curtain has been pulled back, the furniture removed and we see the wall...at least if you are willing to look.

(5,379 posts)a super hard hitting docu pointed out how 80% of the military of my country operates based on GPS. We get it for free from the US. And what if Acces was Denied?
But there will be safety where people stick together. There is hope.

(18,998 posts)And while there is hope, as the younger ones are beginning to see what is going on, we have a way to go.
I think you probably know that but just an opportunity to kick this again.

(5,379 posts)back in 2011. But we've had a demo against administrative fines abused to curb protest, and I found myself surrounded by young leftist student activists. Boy, was I the weird one out.

(10,597 posts)I am hoping and praying that it wins. Because when films win those oscars, it attracts multitudes of viewers who hasn't had a chance to see it yet. As a matter of fact, if this doc doesn't go ballistic right here on DU, them shame on us. Shame on us.
Let's keep this kicked!

(8,219 posts)it was up for an Academy Award.
I was sickened after I watched it. I don't know how anyone can say with a straight face the the US is NOT the worst terrorist nation on the planet. If there were a just God(dess).....
OT...but I ran across a book yesterday, titled "Slouching Towards Sirte: NATO's War on Libya and Africa". I can read it as an ebook through my public library (2 week borrowing). I did a lot of research on why we REALLY destroyed Libya - a country with the highest standard of living in Africa but now, reportedly, with not even a functioning government. Gaddafi, of course, angered the bankers, among others, and refused to be a good little Western puppet.
I never posted anything about that here, because it wasn't de rigueur, don'tcha know. I still can't get Hillary's voice out of my brain, "We came, we saw, he died", and then that hideous cackle. It is what it is. Sorry for that, usual suspects.
ReRe
(10,597 posts)... refer people to this full length doc. Like I said before, it will be a shame if only a handful of DUers watch it. Keep it kicked! I'm going to put it in my sig line right now, hoping that someone will click on it and watch it!

(5,379 posts)exposed. This docu hit me like a train. If anyone needs to understand how people can see the SOTU in such different light, this is it. It should be reposted in GD with an appropriate "What have we become" headline.

This goes DIRECTLY to the WH. HOW can Obama look at his children after this? How???? Only someone without a soul...
But, hey, let's hang in there with him because um...15 dimensional chess.
edit to add: Posted in GD. Thanks.

Hey ...can you tell that I watched this movie? Been paying attention to Jeremy Scahill for a while ...he's been on Democracy Now many times. He's a warrior journalist fighting for the truth for us and one of the last real journalists we have.

I am glad I watched it early this morning.

(86,586 posts)Thanks. Just tried to watch at two different sites and it was taken down. Watching now before it's too late.

(5,379 posts)or, updating. Thanks for the find!

(8,219 posts)I guess I just happened along at the right time.
I was concerned that some gatekeepers would show up to say ICH wasn't a proper link or somesuch (I can't help where I found it). I check ICH and Global Research every day for information sans a lot of filters.
I hope this video gets lots of attention during the Academy Awards. The truth of how filthy and corrupt our govt. has become needs to be shown.
And thank you, MadCow, for your efforts, too.
BelgianMadCow
(5,379 posts)other sources? Global Research I check every now and then, and keep in mind what is speculation and what isn't. Still, a valuable dissonant source. They had Hersch, for example.

(8,219 posts)I notice that you have to create an account in order to watch it, but that's the way it is these days, so I can't really complain.

(86,586 posts)All I can say is this
1. It's exactly what I saw coming on 9/11, actually before that when W was "selected" by the SCOTUS... My nephew was considering joining the NG for school $$$ and I told him he would regret it for the rest of his life if he lived long enough and told him that with the new resident in the WH we would be at war in the ME in 12 months... sadly I was right and he thanked me for the warning.
2. Murikuns better WTFU and Grow-TFU yesterday. Teach their children to never put on the uniform. But this, too, is why I think we have such lack of interest in tamping down our gunz laws and the constant conditioning of violence as entertainment... they are recruitment tools by making violence and killing entertaining and making the concept of the evil of it a thrill instead of facing what it really is.
3. Can't wait to see what happens among the GP, MSM and gov't when this gets seen by millions and they figure out what's up. Wonder how many CTs that have been out there are actually real things and we will find out too late. But really, it's already too late.
4. Is it any wonder we have such a pathetic excuse for MSM these days? They are the gatekeepers of info and we have been sold a bill of defective goods and we better do something about it last week. The gig is up, the age of distraction is over.
ETA:
5. Is it really any wonder why so many of our vets are committing suicide or maybe getting some "help" in doing so? The Big Brother thing is becoming pretty clear and I don't doubt anything that guy hiding in Russia says. Don't forget, drones are here in the US and the whole world is looking like a nail for this hammer, including the homeland.

(8,219 posts)Sometimes I can hardly stand it, the people in my own community who prefer to avert their eyes to what is going on.
I keep looking for healthy coping mechanisms that I can use to keep from going insane. Hopefully, when this horrible weather begins to moderate I can go walking in the woods, take some photos, find some peace.
Best to you.

(86,586 posts)I'm with you on the "can hardly stand it" part. I had to become more of a recluse than I was to begin with. Much of my ability to cope is exactly what you look forward to, get out in the woods, take some pictures, find some peace. I had to give up a lot to get where I am but it's usually far enough away from everyone else that I can be at peace in my surroundings, for now. I go skiing a lot, it's about the only way to get out in the woods around here... I hate snowmobiles, they chase off the wildlife and pollute the air.
At any rate, I hope you can continue to find ways to cope. (I have found that meditating and making time to do so is good for me).
Best to you too, and thanks for making the film available for us.
