You won't believe this film. It will literally blow you away. I only had time to watch one chapter of it tonight.

If I had to say in general what it's about, I'd say the true state of fascism that we are living today. But it covers a lot. A whole lot of stuff.

The chapter on the Monsanto Corporation and Fox News by itself will having you wretching in disgust. The part about Bechtel Corporation owning water rights in Latin and South America, EVEN THE FUCKING RAIN THAT FALLS FROM THE SKY, will make you tremble with rage, as you watch people rioting and soldiers shooting them for trying to get water.

I'm almost afraid to watch the whole film from the beginning. Look it up. Find it. Watch it. Really explains why we demonize countries that care about health. Shows how corporations don't give a fuck about countries or nations. They don't give a flying fuck about america.

Shows how corrupt the judiciary is. Allowing corporations to patent LIVING ORGANISMS. You just suspect the judiciary is corrupt. You don't really know how bad it is.

Corporate America is truly the Great Whore, the Great Beast, the Great Satan. Really puts Bush in perspective.

For the first time, I truly feel that we may not be able to really recover from the system we have created. We talk a lot of shit about this and that, what we gonna do if "they" go too far and all that. Ha! We don't know what we're up against. We have no fucking clue.
