“Well let me tell you about Halliburton, the company I ran. I’m very proud of what I did at Halliburton and the people of Halliburton are very proud of what they’ve accomplished. And, uh, I, frankly, uh, don’t feel any need to apologize for the way I’ve spent my time over the last five years as the CEO and chairman of a major American corporation.” — Vice President Dick Cheney in ‘Fahrenheit 9/11’
Michael Moore has uploaded a very important scene from his documentary ‘Fahrenheit 9/11’ to his YouTube account. The military industrial complex was something Eisenhower and Roosevelt warned us about and it continues to be ever more relevant as our wars progress into what feels like a never ending saga of conflict.
Oh my god.
wow really wow
So awesome to see that America still has passionate politicians. I can’t for the world understand why anyone who isn’t part of ‘Big Greed’ (Oil, Corporate and filthy rich) would vote GOP. But then again what do I know?

Josh Fox, ‘Gasland’ trailer, 2010.
Must see. Winner best documentary feature, Sundance 2010. Watch it on HBO currently.
“It is happening all across America and now in Europe and Africa as well - rural landowners wake up one day to find a lucrative offer from a multinational energy conglomerate wanting to lease their property. The Reason? In America, the company hopes to tap into a huge natural gas reservoir dubbed the Saudi Arabia of natural gas. Halliburton developed a way to get the gas out of the ground—a hydraulic drilling process called fracking—and suddenly America finds itself on the precipice of becoming an energy superpower.
But what comes out of the ground with that natural gas? How does it affect our air and drinking water? GASLAND is a powerful personal documentary that confronts these questions with spirit, strength, and a sense of humor. When filmmaker Josh Fox receives his cash offer in the mail, he travels across 32 states to meet other rural residents on the front lines of fracking. He discovers toxic streams, ruined aquifers, dying livestock, brutal illnesses, and kitchen sinks that burst into flame. He learns that all water is connected and perhaps some things are more valuable than money.”
