I could continue this for ages...
But seriously, Alicia, please do watch that film. I really recommend you do. Not because of the Obama hate and all that, but because you're an intelligent girl and you need to get up to speed with the `real stuff` going down in your Government over there.
America is going down a slipperly slope at the moment and it's truely turning to a police state over there, particularly in the South-West.
You don't have to watch all of it in one sitting. Do it bit by bit. I can tell you, though, that all the friends and collegemates I've linked, shown and watched the film with over a takeaway (imagine that, eh?) have had their perceptions totally changed over how the world really does operate.
It's not some crackpot conspiracy theorist mumbo-jumbo; it's proven, 100% true stuff that is going on.
One brilliant example just to finish off with this is the example of US Marines who are now being used gardners in growing poppies for processing into heroin over in Afganistan. This was widely known for years by many people over here in the UK who were `in the know` but now it's just being plain reported in the news with the ******** spin of "oh, if we don't grow it and ship it out then the Al-Queida will and get lots of money from it." And yet, the US Military is fine to do it but when your average American citizen is caught with some weed in their pocket, it's straight off to jail with a draconian sentence and no due process.
In fact, this Fox News `report` (phffftt) just goes to show how ballsy Murdoch and his crew are when it comes to this stuff, my God...
