A graduate of Nyu Film School, Montgomery features students from his former high school in Eagan, Minnesota, in an exploration of the roots of apathy and cynicism in today's youth and the factors that led to the Occupy movement. Noam Chomsky, Amy Goodman, Talib Kweli and Adbusters founder Kalle Lasn are among the commentators that appear in the film. Sound Tribe Sector 9, which is featured in the movie, created the original score. Photos:

Another troubling subplot has emerged from the trove of diplomatic cables that journalists have been poring through. This time it's the United States' less-than-heroic role in last year's Copenhagen climate change summit, which was widely viewed as a failure for the toothless Copenhagen Accord that resulted. Since this is the last day of the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Cancun, it seems a good time to walk through the way promising climate negotiations get deliberately derailed.
1. Collude with China.
In May of 2009, Senator John Kerry met with China's Deputy Prime Minister Li Keqiang in Beijing, reports Der Spiegel. Kerry told Keqiang that Washington understood China's "resistance to accepting mandatory targets at the United Nations Climate Conference" coming up in Copenhagen. A cable sent from the U.S. embassy in Beijing reported that Kerry outlined "a new basis for 'major cooperation' between the United States and China on climate change.

The U.S. State Department is reportedly threatening to deny some bloggers and social media users security clearances. Job applicants who have posted links or references to WikiLeaks on Facebook, Twitter or their personal blogs may have their all-important security clearances denied. Potential job applicants have been warned not to make any online references to--or even to read--WikiLeaks.
Why? Because despite being leaked, WikiLeaks' 200,000+ secret diplomatic cables still remain secret at various levels of clearance.
Some universities have warned students that posting WikiLeaks-related information online could endanger their federal security clearances. Legal website abovethelaw.com received a forwarded email warning off potential WikiBloggers from a tipster at the Boston University School of Law:
Two big factors in hiring for many federal government positions are determining if the applicants have good judgment and if they know how to deal with confidential/classified information. The documents released by Wikileaks remain classified; thus,...
