At the End of the Oil Age

Lloyd-Evans

Oil, Smoke, and Mirrors is a bleakly illuminating film that explores the links between 9/11, the "war on terror," and the US government's covert struggle for control of dwindling global oil supply.

Through a series of interviews with a variety of high profile figures, the film presents a picture of an unfolding energy crisis that is being managed ruthlessly, and willfully hidden from general awareness. All the signs seem to indicate that controlling the flow of oil is now the main focus and motivation of the major world powers. However, the lack of any meaningful discussion of this in the mainstream media is worrying.

Indeed, the film suggests that the media - saturated as it is with anxious glamour and innumerable distracting options, all equally meaningless - is the instrument that keeps the majority of us ignorant of the profound changes underway in the world beyond the wall of screens.

The film concludes by offering the hope that increasing numbers of people will engage critically with the repressive mainstream narrative, and intervene to prevent the further collapse of democratic and humanitarian principles.

That alien on the tractor seems to be making crop circles everywhere :)

Video alarm clock

The most delicate yet effective video wake up call I've seen so far. This is a true "gateway drug", which when activated can encourage those on the verge of waking up to shake off their groggy perception of reality and move on to other, more intense, video based stimulants leading eventually to a fully awakened state.

 

I just emailed the link to a co-worker who will surely condemn me after watching it, but who will, after his rage against the machine subsides, thank me for stirring him from his slumber.

"Sorry to disturb you" I said, "but it's time to wake up now."

 

"everything means something"

WOW!

Just the way those films should be put together: no stupid dramatic music or special effects so you can actually listen to what they are saying.
