The history of war

Narrated by Barrie Zwicker also known for "the end of suburbia".
Short, sweet and very revealing.
It is easier to enslave a people that wish to remain free then it is to free a people who wish to remain enslaved.

If you're looking for real insight read:

Confessions of an economic hitman by John Perkins
http://www.economichitman.com/

For me it was nothing short of revelational. It explains a number of historic events with the knowledge of an insider.

This is not someone who sits in his armchair dreaming up wacky conspiracy theories, but a narrative from someone who has been in the midst of those events.

And although it primarely deals with the economic side the story is drenched in oil.

Thanks for the video.

Pity though that he didn't talk more about the middle east and the connections between SA and the US. I found that one of the most interesting parts of the book.

Gee... imagine that. Politicians that lie. I would have never guessed.

NOT.

At least this one whacks on both Dems and Reps.

As I've always said. Ignore what politicians say, watch what they do. If you like what they do, support them; if not, vote against them.
Yes, we are. As we are.
And so shall we remain; Until the end.
