i googled a bit:
The Cold War's over, John. But with no clear enemy to stock pile against, the arms market's flat. But bring down a fully-loaded 727 into the middle of New York City; you'll find a dozen tin-pot dictators all over the world, just clamoring to take responsibility. And begging to be smart bombed.

I just finished them all.

Some of the stuff in there totally doesn't need to be included, and is just him wasting time with non-critical opinions.

BUT

As you all know, there's also some seriously scary stuff in there (a good deal of it is very important).

So, what can be done about it, assuming the hardcore stuff in the video is true?

Mogul...I think we need to get this video onto something like BBC, TLC, Discovery Channel, History Channel, or even big networks like ABC/NBC/CBS. Considering some of the extremely radical views expressed it might be a hard pitch but I think more people need to see it somehow.

Well, it is possible.

Blogging is more popular than ever these days, especially in political topics. The video could be pimped by the controversial and extremely popular bloggers (of which I know none, but they do exist).

I would suggest completely skipping the first part and go straight to the second. The first part contains too much shit about the facist police state and makes the guy look like teh uber tin-foil hat wearer. Very bad directing IMO. You can't make outlandish claims right off the bat. You have to lead people to conclude on their own that it is becoming a facist police state and THEN you can hit them with hit. Rubbing it in their face right off the bat is just going to make everyone that you actually need to reach shift their attention.
Nail on the head, sir.
He has some very scary and important things to tell, but they way he chooses to share them with his audience is just …bad.

Also, Nightshade, did you see part two? I was wondering what you think about his take on 9/11… He never goes into serious technical detail yet still manages to raise some serious doubt about the collapse.

The way he kept going on about the "crinkle" (or whatever term he used to describe the destruction of the center column) I expected to see a clip of the towers with a "crinkle" down the middle...but I didn't. I haven't gone back to replay the movies and see for myself though.
