war for oil

Greg Palast's website
War for No Oil

This is the interview that the 'War for No Oil' speech came from. He is mainly speaking about his new book 'Armed Madhouse.' I've admired Greg Palast for a long time, he is a very important journalist.

Institutions of Empire MP3

I came across this Lecture whilst researching for the 2nd NWO album, and it is very interesting material. I used some of this speech on 'Institutions of Empire.' I find David Korten's speech a very sober and sensible look at where we are, how and why we got here, and a positive way to move forward. If only material like this filled our televisions instead of 'content empty' DIY and 'move to the country' dumming down rubbish, or hardcore propaganda. I look forward to reading some of his books.

Great COMEDY fact based film:

"Robert Newman gets to grips with the wars and politics of the last hundred years - but rather than adhering to the history we were fed at school, the places oil centre stage as the cause of all commotion. This innovative history programme is based around Robert Newman's stand-up act and supported by resourceful archive sequences and stills with satirical impersonations of historical figures from Mayan priests to Archduke Ferdinand. Quirky details such as a bicycle powered street lamp on the stage brings home the pertinent question of just how we are going to survive when the world's oil supplies are finally exhausted."

Must watch film from John Pilger on the war against terrorism

John Pilger dissects the truth and lies in the 'war on terror'. Award-winning journalist John Pilger investigates the discrepancies between American and British claims for the 'war on terror' and the facts on the ground as he finds them in Afghanistan and Washington, DC.

In 2001, as the bombs began to drop, George W. Bush promised Afghanistan "the generosity of America and its allies". Now, the familiar old warlords are regaining power, religious fundamentalism is renewing its grip and military skirmishes continue routinely. In "liberated" Afghanistan, America has its military base and pipeline access, while the people have the warlords who are, says one woman, "in many ways worse than the Taliban".
