Here’s a pundit I can back. I like to speak for myself, but here’s something so concise and powerful that I don’t mind passing it along. When you’re watching it, and afterwards… think about who is responsible for what we call ‘crime’. You probably think you already know who: the criminals.

But you could be very, very wrong. In fact, you -might- be -completely- wrong.

Clear:

Your culture exposing you to toxic chemistry produces terror and nervous system damage so severe that it tracks directly to many forms of social and violent crime statistics.

Implied:

The social, ecological and relational intelligence of our entire culture -plummets- (and this is what we use to think with, people) as its representative body begins to ‘represent’ the cognitive and relational damage in the populations — directly, by -developing and electing representatives of this damage-… and as this proceeds, the nation’s organs of authority begin -attacking their sources-: our social and relational infrastructure, the environment, all possibilities of actual progress gains, and prosecuting wars of domination, paranoia and just plain profit all over the world while preparing to surveill and possibly indict vast swaths of its own population.

What happened in the people? Bred prisons, stupid police, war, environmental atrocity, and the near obliteration of everything our nation ever was and might have been. We produced and punished hundreds of millions of ‘criminals’ who it then becomes our business to torture or husband. We are gutting the future of the living planet and mankind. Our intelligence, as a species is in free-fall.

For cars. Oil and Gas.

For Power. Sex. And lies.

But most of all?

For technology.
