Phoenix "1901"
I love this band. They're sort of a cross between Clap Your Hands—The Strokes—and some other bands that I like.
This one gets 2 snaps in Z—Formation.
Study shows Americans don't give a fuck about the people of Afghanistan
RethinkAfghanistan.com
Most Americans can't even spell Afghanistan so why should they even give a shit the American military occupies their country and murders Afghanis on a daily bases.
When they are killed, all mainstream media has to do is say they were "suspected" Talliban or Al Quaida and murdering Afghanistan's people is perfectly normal.
Why aren't more people getting this?
1000s of Afghanis have been murdered, and more and more are dying everyday, but oh wait...."So You Think You Can Dance" is down to the final 4...I sure hope the hot blonde wins.
Seriously, there are more important things in this world. Stop tuning in to mainstream crap.

War Made Easy
War Made Easy brings to the screen Norman Solomon’s insightful analysis of the strategies used by administrations, both Democratic and Republican, to promote their agendas for war from Vietnam to Iraq. By familiarizing viewers with the techniques of war propaganda, War Made Easy encourages viewers to think critically about the messages put out by today’s spin doctors – messages which are designed to promote and prolong a policy of militarism under the guise of the “war on terror.” Based on the book by the same title..

"The Best Time To Plant A Tree Was 20 Years Ago" T. Boone Pickens
I was listening to him give a speech about his plans for wind turbines, and I thought that's a wise thing to say for a number of reasons.
But then I heard the real reason he's pushing for wind turbines is because they will be built over massive aquifers, which he will control and make tons of money off of it.

Gasoline is toxic waste—literally
Oil companies like Chevron have pressured PBS, commercial TV networks and other news media to keep this basic information from the public for decades – and the censorship continues to this day.
We Don’t Need Gasoline, Never Did
Facts: Scientific and historical about gasoline and alcohol
1. The original automobiles ran on alcohol because when they were invented gasoline was not available.
2. Rockefeller spent $4 million (that we know of) to promote Prohibition, a ban on alcohol manufacturing in the US that started in 1919 just as the car industry was taking off.
3. When Prohibition was lifted in 1933, gasoline stations were ubiquitous and most engines ran on gasoline only.
4. Alcohol can be manufactured locally and on a community level from renewable plant material for $1 per gallon.
5. The growing of plant material for alcohol would have no effect on the price of food.
6. The growing of plants for fuel would more than neutralize the carbon created by burning alcohol for fuel.
7. In Brazil, over 50% of new cars sold can already run on 100% alcohol.
8. Producing alcohol from plant material is incredibly energy efficient.
9. The oil companies aggressively promote garbage science to deceive the public into believing that alcohol fuels: a) will cause starvation, b) are uneconomical, and c) are net polluters.
10. Gasoline is a high toxic material.
11. It is entirely unneeded to fuel our cars.
12. Oil companies like Chevron have pressured PBS, commercial TV networks and other news media to keep this basic information from the public for decades – and the censorship continues to this day.

Dandy Warhols "You Come In Burned"
Well, you come in baby,
you will get burned.
Because I am just what I am, I've learned.
I slowly become some “why” that you live with.
And mama told you that you would get this.
Hey, I lost you when you took me in, my friend
Now against my will, I still stay out.
Waaaaay ouuuuut.
Waaaaaay ouuuut.
I am maybe a loser,
maybe a sinner.
Either way, a perpetual beginner.
Hey, I lost you when, when you took me in, my friend.
Now against, I still stay out.
waaaaaay ouuuuut.
waaaaaay ouuuuut.
Sssssssssssh
Hey, I lost you when you took me in, my friend
Now against my will, I still stay out.
Waaaaay ouuuuut.

Joy Division "Love Will Tear Us Apart"
I love this song.
Lyrics:
When the routine bites hard
And ambitions are low
And the resentment rides high
But emotions wont grow
And were changing our ways,
Taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart again
Why is the bedroom so cold
Turned away on your side?
Is my timing that flawed,
Our respect run so dry?
Yet theres still this appeal
That weve kept through our lives
Love, love will tear us apart again
Do you cry out in your sleep
All my failings expose?
Get a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Is it something so good
Just cant function no more?
When love, love will tear us apart again

Peace, Propoganda, and The Promised Land
OMFG!!
This one was a major eye opener. I'm speechless. I'm brainwashed. I'm an idiot. I'm heartbroken. I'm horrified.
Not one journalist in America puts what's happening in Palestine into perspective.
If this video was played on any station in America, the American people would be so outraged that Israel would not receive on dime of American tax dollars ever again.
To say Israel's actions are an outrage, doesn't even come close to characterizing Israel's occupation.
The proper word is holocaust.
