I broke down and watched Fahrenheit 9/11 last night. Everyone told me the movie is wonderful and packed full of images that even the most informed may not have considered. That is true, but it wasn't enough to convince me to go to a corporate cinema and pay 10 bucks to see a political film. Luckily, a friend downloaded a bootleg from an anti-Moore website. Excellent quality, I must say, and I recommend the bootleg style if you are able to go that route. Michael Moore himself doesn't mind as long as no one is profiting from the bootlegs.
The most memorable scene from the movie is near the very beginning when Moore says that if just one senator would've signed the house petition denying the ruling of the Supreme Court (in the 2000 election), Al Gore would have been president. Watching the African American representatives go up one by one and call Senate leader Al Gore "Mr. President," was extremely painful to me. As Al beat his gavel and asked if any senator had signed the petition, congress answered, "No, Mr. President, and I don't care Mr. President."
The question I have is where the fuck was John Kerry, John Edwards, or Ted Kennedy? Why did the Democrat Senators roll over and accept the Supreme Court's ruling of the presidency, when all it would of taken was just one signature? This points to a couple of different hypothesis. 1)The Democrats in the Senate hated Al Gore and would have rather served under Bush. 2)They were paid off by Enron, Caryle, Unical, or another corporation to keep their mouths shut and allow everything that has happened to go as planned per The Project for the New American Century. 3)They were sleeping during this session. 4)There is really no difference between a Democrat and a Republican. They both work for the elite to rule the world's economy. Federal elections only exist to pacify the ignorant masses into thinking the United States is a Republic of the people.
Thinking about it, all of these hypothesis seem likely. It is a terrible joke, or extreme ignorance, to think that the most powerful country in the world would actually let working people decide who their leaders are going to be. No, no, no, that decision is made by big business- period. It is a choice between one puppet or another but if you follow the strings you will find the same shareholders holding the ends that are either the puppet's leash or a hangman's noose. We must overthrow the government. We must write ballot incentives to castrate the power of the ruling elite. We must deny them our participation in their economy by boycotting all corporate goods. We must turn off their brain-washers (THE TELEVISION IS CONTROL)! We must save our lives one by one.
The John Kerrys and the George Bushs of America are running the reputation of the American people through the mud and there will be reprecussions. More heroes are going to attack this country because our murderous corporate government is completely out of control. We must throw wrenches into the machine. WAKE UP PEOPLE. PLEASE!!! This is going to be much worse than if we were Germans in World War II. Our reign of fascism and terror has already touched every corner of the earth.
Where were the Democrats? They are bought my friends, don't let them fool you into thinking they care more about the people. They are just as rotten and power-hungry as Dick Cheney. They are no longer (nor ever were) fit to rule a "republic of the people." Overthrow! Overthrow! Overthrow!
