Wow, that is an incredibly powerful clip.

I do want to see the whole film now.

The principles of her theory don't come as a 'shock' to me... not in the least.

Purported WMD and our 'war(S) on terror' post September the 11th are thinly veiled attempts to gain control over oil in the Middle East.

The only thing that shocks me is how many people are unaware. How huge percentages of the population choose to remain in their state of shock and refuse to really look around, to search out alternate news sources, to learn about the state of the world outside their own personal borders and to cast a critical eye.

'the mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation' -hdt

on a side note: the banksy graphics are really effective.
