The news is so depressing just now. Everyday I go online, the bbc news page loads up and more people are dead in Iraq. I mean they've got their oil, can't they just fuck off now? Not content with being the biggest bullies in the playground, they have to pretend that they care about "re-building Iraq"?
I guess they had to destroy a lot of the country to make sure Halliburton were going to come out of this counting the profits.
Good article here about how much money they made out of the war.
The Nazis controlled the media and burned books, replacing it with propaganda. Nowadays the media is -in some cases- similarly controlled and it's getting very hard to get contraversial ideas published unless you're already famous like Michael Moore (in which case there's always gonna be someone trying to make money off you).
Y'know the Eminem song "Without Me", the line where he sings "they tried to shut me down on MTV"...it always amazes me how conservative they are and beep out the "MTV" bit. As if all the millions of kids who bought it or got it off the net dont know how it goes anyway. And today I was briefly watching mtv2 and it showed Eminem live doing an unannounced show playing that song. Shows called Jammed or something. Anyway, he was gettin the audience to shout some of the words and when it got to verse containing the aforementioned line, MTV cut out the whole verse!!! Censorship or what???
