Gasland Part II (2013)
The Empire strikes itself in the foot.
It's us. The people. Jobs. Security. Television. Private property. Yale. West Point. Wal Mart. CNN. A new truck. A roasted turkey. Everyone of the complaining parties in the land "Gasland" portraits seems to own a pickup truck. I saw only big trucks. New trucks. Bought with the money the gas and oil corporations paid them for their land to be fracked. Then the chemicals started leaking. Water ruined. The big wake-up. Too late. Money already pocketed, truck bought, TV bought, disclosure agreement signed. Too late.
Truck drivers don't care. We don't care until our own water supply is being taken from us.
I genuinely do appreciate this documentary. It does not only expose the irreparable damage caused by fracking, but it exposes (perhaps without being aware of it) how it is happening. What Homeland America made of? It shows who is fracking who. Corporations only pocked the profit. The 1% doesn't drive hundreds of thousands of trucks. The 1% doesn't drill and operate hundreds of thousands of wells. They pay off our government the same way they pay off us. Disclosure agreement signed.
Vietnam veterans. Iraq veterans. Afghanistan veterans. War criminals in my eyes. Or perhaps 'only' the truck drivers of war criminals 'protecting' the Homeland by destroying other peoples home land continents away. Where is Iraq again? Afghanistan? Is there perhaps oil to be drilled or pipelines to be build in these far away foreign home lands? Let's get them some freedom. Let's get them some truckloads of freedom. Bombs first. Then American Sniper. Then American Halliburton. It's also red. Like Coca Cola. And blood. Blood and stripes.
American war veterans are now being the victims of the corporations they helped so successfully to grow in power.
America is fracking itself.
Go and watch American Sniper. Support war. Don't care about Iraqi citizens. They are all terrorists. They are not citizens anymore. They don't have a country anymore. It has been fracked away from them. It's been drilled apart by Halliburton. You were driving the tanks and the trucks then. You are still driving the trucks now, in your backyard.
How many wells across the US?
How many truckloads needed for one well?
How many truck drivers?
Who cares about your water?
There is no Corporate America. There is no Halliburton. There is only us working for them. To have a job. A new big Ford F250. A TV in the kitchen, to watch the 'news' while we roast our turkeys. Two cars. Three cars. Thank you very much.
On another note, how many ethnic, African American, Native Indian, Asian American, Latino American land owners did we meet in this film? None. The only African American we encounter in this portrait of America are one child and one President.
Also, once we ruined all our drinking water what do we think will happen next? The price for drinking water will sky rocket. And guess who will own the only clean drinking water wells then? I've got a good feeling about it. Thank you very much.
Capitalism: A Love Story (2009)
"How fortunate for leaders that men do not think." (A. Hitler)
I genuinely appreciate Moore's film but it also saddens me deeply that he is not brave enough to point his finger at US.
"The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly - it must confine itself to a FEW POINTS and REPEAT THEM OVER AND OVER" (J. Goebbels) - On WAR for PEACE, WHICH SIDE are you CHEERLEADING for? America is FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY. YES WE CAN!
"Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it" (A. Hitler).
THE 1% KNOW THAT THEY ARE MANIPULATING US - WE, THE 95%, DON'T KNOW THAT WE ARE BELIEVING THEM 95% of the time.
Who buys more Nike trainers, smokes more Marlboro, watches more TV (including the commercials!) - the 95% or the 1%?
Who wears soldier's uniforms to invade countries for exploitation (and murder people in their millions over the years!!!) - the 95% or the 1%?
Who believes and cheers for WAR FOR PEACE? 1% can't cheer that loud!!!
Who buys more products produced in 3rd World Countries and thereby creating misery and dependency - the 95% or the 1%?
How can the 1% elect and reelect human rights violating Presidents if they have only one percent of the votes?
How can the 1% do the daily work for CIA/US Army/NSA etc with a proved record of severely violating the rights of the 95% if they all work on Wall St.?
As long as we take the $1000 cheque for cleaning the house we have just been kicked out of we have NO MORAL FOUNDATION TO BLAME THE 1%.
It's not CAPITALISM that humiliates US, it is OUR CONSUMERISM of lies. It's 1% dealers vs. 95% addicts.
It deeply hurts me to admit but I am one of you.
