Ralph Nader exclaims that the central political issue of our time is giant corporate power and its take over of our government, plus the spread of commercial values into every nook and cranny of our culture including the commercialization of childhood, the universities and almost everything these large corporations touch. Speaking at the Washington, DC Green Festival, he also details what we can and must do about it.
This dude rules, go Ralph Nader!
A terrific little segment examining the completely flawed and corrupt American system of so called "democracy".
This I believe is one of the greatest examples of public misconception. A system designed entirely to make you think you get to choose your future, however, keep in mind where have the people come from that you are choosing from?
If voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal.

If you consider yourself more than just a muppet wandering the earth aimlessly you will have to get something from this documentary. It is old and for many an old way of thinking however obviously most of the world is currently oblivious to the population problem? Particularly our politicians as this doco so bluntly demonstrates. The system is so obviously flawed and corrupt with politicians misleading and deceiving a public deprived of the facts and fed propaganda through all means of media generated by self interested groups such as KPMG, Federal Governments from both Liberal and Labor parties, and naturally big business and unions. The examples and reasoning imbeciles the likes of Chris Evans, Anthony Albanese and Harry Triguboff to name just a few bring up as positives and benefits for population growth are so idiotic and un-informed and dangerous that it clearly demonstrates how much of a problem the world is in with such people captaining government and industry.

Installation Analysis & Aesthetic
Images and stories depicting our cosmic ancestry are scattered throughout the worlds natural areas as well as documented in the world’s libraries. These legends may vary slightly however they teach the same overall knowledge, that of the ‘star beings’ visiting earth since time immemorial.
I would take this prognosis a step further and suggest this planet and more than likely thousands if not millions more like it have been propagated/terraformed by many separate life forms throughout our ‘known’ universe. Unfortunately mainstream science and religion has deceived and mislead humanity for at least the last 1000 years, cloaking the true nature of you and I as beings and the infinite complexity of the universe around us.
This installation is a shrine and observation to our universe through the use of symbolic deities, rings of divination, gifts fallen to earth from what some would call magicians*, deities or even gods.
Grant me a wish,
To create a world in which gods divine stones rain upon the surface,
Where an object will not falter from its chosen path,
Annihilation and creation are singular.
*Arthur C Clarke, “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”.
