G’day all…
many of you may have seen this, as the video/documentary has gone viral, with over 64 million hits on YouTube and Vimeo since Monday… I’m impressed. and the first I heard of it was my “Today show highlights” email. So, share, I must…
first the TODAY show clip with the filmaker of the documentary, Jason Russell.
then, here is the documentary in question:
so, hey…
I'm very pleased to see the reaction to my reblog regarding the new, invasive TSA scanners of yesterday…
I have since discovered more information that I think important to report. This is an excerpt from an email I sent to my state’s senators in DC:
These scanners are being pushed into USA use by Michael Chertoff, former head of DHS 2005-2009. He is now co-founder of Chertoff Group, a consulting group for security and risk management. A current client is RapidScan, the company responsible for the scanners that apparently are useless. Isn’t that a “Special Interest” issue? Didn’t we use to call it despotism, or some other euphemism? At issue, then, 1) these invasive scanners are ineffective and 2) making Mr. Chertoff a very rich man. What is going on with this‽‽‽
I’ve asked them to investigate this situation, the “allegations”. I admit, I am not surprised to hear of this money angle. In fact, I think it’s as important to separate business and STATE (ie government) as it is to separate church and STATE. That’s what our country was founded on – separation of church and state. Now, the next step is to dissolve the business/banking/money connection to government.
Thanks for the info 😀 very interesting!
