No need to post about the Julia reference. I understand it now, thanks to those who told me. :)

To 420Guitar420: Ethos and Freedom to Fascism are in my Queue on Netflix. Zeitgeist was great. If you liked those, you NEED to watch Collapse; it is currently streaming on Netflix, if you have it, and should NOT be missed.

[420Guitar420]

I've seen just about all of them. I would recommend to all Americans, all human beings:

Ethos the Movie

Freedom to Fascism

Zeitgeist: The Movie

In my opinion those are the most well made, articulated, logical, and researched documentaries on the reality of the system we live in. There are many books I have read on the subject.

I recommend these 3:

War is A Racket by Smedley Butler

Confessions of An Economic Hitman by John Perkins

The Secret History of the American Empire by John Perkins

Have you watched any of the documentaries about 9/11? I'm NOT a conspiracy theorist at all, but I've seen four of them and they have totally changed my mind, especially the one made by the skyscraper engineers, demolition experts and victims of 9/11. Fucking frightening.

The revolution will not come from "critical studies"....but a decent job in a good university will.

[S0N0fFred]

The revolution will not be summarized in 140 charaters

[naturesmeds]

guess you missed the reference to rare earth

(this song was only for the black community)

[Sean Doherty]

Why is it its iytheir black Nationalist or americans wanting to merder people?

[reinvestorintally]

Some more than others...

[Dan Herrera]

You will NOT see any unionized employees at Walmart because the revolution will NOT be televised.

What a profoundly significant song. This was a song for the black community and anti-war protests during the Vietnam War. Today this song shares the same meaning except it is a song for the American people against the tyranny of their corrupt government, the corporations, and the bankers. This is an anti-war protest song for US Imperialism in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Egypt, Venezuela, Syria, North Korea, Iran, Somalia, etc. We must take this country back for the American people.
