In The Year Of The Pig





Heavy. 

In the Year of the Pig is a 1968 American documentary film about the origins of theVietnam War, directed by Emile de Antonio. It was nominated for an Academy award for best documentary.

The film, which is in black and white, contains much historical footage and many interviews. Those interviewed include Harry S. AshmoreDaniel BerriganPhilippe DevillersDavid HalberstamRoger HilsmanJean LacoutureKenneth P. Landon,Thruston B. MortonPaul MusCharlton OsburnHarrison SalisburyIlya ToddJohn TollerDavid K. TuckDavid Werfel, and John White.

Produced during the Vietnam War, the film was greeted with hostility by many audiences, with bomb threats and vandalism directed at theaters that showed it.[3]
De Antonio cites the film as his personal favorite. It features the ironic use of patriotic music, portrays Ho Chi Minh as a patriot to the Vietnamese people, and asserts that Vietnam was always a single country rather than two.

Its poster was famously used as an album cover for The Smiths' second album Meat is Murder. The insignia on the soldier's helmet was changed to "meat is murder".

Israeli Lobbyist Calls For False Flag To Start War With Iran





In a recent talk at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, a Zionist Neoconservative pseudo think tank, Israeli lobbyist Patrick Clawson said that either America or Israel should stage a false flag event in the Persian Gulf to initiate a full-scale war against Iran. Washington DC is chock full of toxic lobbyist warmonger cowards like this working at think tanks and encouraging senseless murder, death and massacres in middle East countries.

The Weather Underground




I understand exactly what Mark Rudd means when he says some knowledge eats away at you day after day. Bernardine Dohrn is a remarkable American human being.

The search for Reality is the most dangerous of all undertakings, for it destroys the world in which you live." ~ Nisargadatta Maharaj

“These are things I am not proud of, and I find it hard to speak publicly about them and to tease out what was right from what was wrong. I think that part of the Weatherman phenomenon that was right was our understanding of what the position of the United States is in the world. It was this knowledge that we just couldn't handle; it was too big. We didn’t know what to do. In a way I still don’t know what to do with this knowledge. I don’t know what needs to be done now, and it’s still eating away at me just as it did 30 years ago.”

— Mark Rudd, former member of the Weather Underground
