Interview on the war in Kosovo. Examines the reasons given for the invasion and the effect of the NATO intervention on the humanitarian crisis. The United States' history is discussed, especially on atrocities that it supported. Discusses the educated classes and indoctrination in the media and left-liberal and academic support for the vietnam war. Quotes: "the majority of educated people tend to support state atrocities, overwhelmingly" "how many faculty members or editors did you see against the vietnam war?" "The nature of being well educated means to accept the framework of power and not to question it. Well educated people understand that that is the position you must assume. Let's take yesterday's new york times. They have a major article by one of their house intellectuals, Judith Miller on soverignty and human rights, who simply asserts as a fact that the United States has been an aggressive leader in the struggle for human rights. Now anyone who even pays attention to the most elementary data knows that that's not true. Just look at Amnesty International reports." EDIT: Torrent link fixed (as of now, please keep .torrent filenames under 100 characters to avoid this problem) sorry...
