For the full documentary

In November, one or the other of the corporate candidates will win, and then, as always, it will be what the people do, not the politicians, that counts.

A video report on the protests that occurred in connection with the Democrat and Republican National Conventions, Ground Noise & Static is a manifesto. We went to Denver and St. Paul to take the pulse of the movement. Corporate media would cover the platitudes and posturing of the politicians, we were interested in something else, a story hidden in plain sight, captured in the now-classic street chant, This is what democracy looks like.

Ground Noise & Static is a joint effort of Franklin López of subMedia.TV and PepperSpray Productions. It is the direct result of a wonderful collaboration with many indymedia-style activists and journalists who all pitched in for the common good and success of their various efforts to tell their Unconventional stories.

Official letters of Demand & Reproach are merely the first step. Remember the first continental congress sent a similar letter to King George in 1774.

Remember what had to happen next?

Lock & load...

[mikezephyr]

yes! soldiers actively resisting alien orders and rejecting higher-ups is exactly how the french, russian and spanish revolutions began.

when regular people like you and i see that there is no stake in an exploitative system then freedom can be won.

@davaeron666 And I don't mean to come off as too aggressive. I'd like to think we share similar interests...

[Capz541]

@davaeron666 Hey! Sit the fuck down and shut up! I got the point of the fucking video! Who the fuck says I didn't? One of the ways of getting our voices heard is through song and I found this certain one to be just as inspiring as the video! BTW If you're going to insult someone try a little harder. Sucking cunt aint such a bad thing ;).

[davaeron666]

@Capz541 You suck cunt...you missed the whole point of the video, How is the name of the song is important, when the whole human race is at stake. You fools !

[Capz541]

[craffte]

Well, yeah, politicians are always full of shit. It's just their job to be. Being a nationalist just means that you are devoted or loyal to your nation. Many socialists are also devoted nationalists. Communism per se? In libertarian communist Spain all of the members of the population were very well provided for by each other on a basis of free association. Those who chose not to participate didn't have to. Market and communist economies existed side by side and often supported each other

[Puzzoozoo]

I mean communism per say. Tip: Any politician who says 'the peoples' this and that is talking out of his/her arse, and means no such thing. No thanks, I don't think much of socilism at all, as I'm more nationalist in attitude.

[MississippiMosher]

Well, I don't have any problems with mutual trades and exchanges, I feel like capitalism creates dangerous imbalances of wealth and power. Do you mean libertarian communism of the Spanish anarchists or the authoritarian communism/state capitalism of the Communist party?

Well, I didn't mean you, specifically. I'm not trying to be rude. I'm sorry if I come across that way. Would you like to have some links to information about libertarian forms of socialism?
