The WWWAR on the Internet - feat. Wikileaks vs The Pentagon [RAP NEWS 4]

We resume our lyrical forays into the world of rhyme and reason, exploring the importance of the Internets. Robert Foster casts a critical rhyme over Senator Joe (Lie)berman's proposed bill to shut down the world-wide-web in case of [quotation mark] an emergency [/quotation mark].

But - most importantly - we discuss something else which has been leaking even more profusely than a BP oil well. An organisation of ultra-inspiring infectively-courageous cybernauts - aka Wikileaks - has been taking on the Fistagon and giving that slumbering Fourth Estate a much-needed kick in the arse, reminding us how important the internet is as a tool for open information and for holding corrupt government to account.

What is Wikileaks? Who is Julian Assange? And why is it so important that we know what's happening right now? Find out with your charming host, Robert Foster.

**Episode dedicated to Mama Wolf - happy birthday!**

Written by Giordano Nanni; lyrics and performance by Hugo Farrant. Created by Farrant & Nanni in a back-yard studio in suburban Melbourne, on Wurundjeri Land.

Showed this video in my law class. It left everyone speechless. Great job guys, very well done!

[FrozenMelvin]

No Internet = End of the World.

[GusCraft460]

Uhh, China can't disconnect part of it's Internet, then it isn't part of the Internet, it's just a network, also, the "kills witch" isn't something to fear, there isn't one yet, it would be stupidly hard to make, and it's actually impossible, within reason.

[rocksnipem]

Fucking awesome guys, keep it coming!!

[Albert Chuyev]

хуйня

[Nerdfighter121]

Good and solid raps about information, government, the news, and the world. Don't stop now

[Rhiannon Rees]

Simply genius.

[AussieVR4]

Our last hope of open communication with each other. Don't give it up people. I can't believe these scum bags behind a desk how have everything done for them think they can say and do what they like. They need to be show they bleed just like the rest of us.

[genghis karan]

tv sucks internet rule

[DarkLawify]

How is it that everyone is getting caught up on the anti American and Military bs when the entire point of the video is about losing our one last medium of unbiased information?

Soon it won't be 'their' fault for taking it away but ours for letting it go.

[Lamenter Captain]

I actually really like these vids, and I think that the host may be the best rapper of the last decade. That said you are correct. Dude makes some great points but is too apt to use anti americanism in order to be taken seriously. The US is no more on stolen land than any other square yard of earth on the planet. All land is stolen. Colon powell is a US general, Is he racist? If foster would concentrate on the rap and the truth he would be genious.
