Orwell Rolls in his Grave

Has anyone else seen this? Buzzflash has it for a 30.00 "donation" Man, it is powerful and disturbing. An amazing indictment on the complacency of the American people and the malfeasance of the Reich Wing.

1. I just got it yesterday from Buzzflash.

I'd been intending to pause midway and take care of something else, but I just couldn't. I ended up watching it to the very last bit.

I very STRONGLY recommend getting a copy. Most here are pretty well familiar with the issue, but it's brought out clearly and compellingly. Here's one review: http://www.turnoffyourtv.com/networks/orwellrolls/orwellrolls.html That one mentions some "inadequacies" ... ie: not giving the Clinton administration enough "credit" for being part of the problem, but I think the reviewer is just striving for an "even-handed, balanced" viewpoint (probably CYA). Otherwise, it seems right on target.

5. Please check my sig-line

and "Stand up, keep fighting!"

When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stone-cutter
hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times, without
as much as a crack showing in it. Yet, at the hundred and first
blow, it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it,
but all that had gone before. -- Jacob A. Riis
