"I'm Mad as Hell"

I stumbled upon this at another website and was reminded what a wonderful scene this was.



You can't help but smile at something like this.

Life imitating art?

Charming and at the same time frightening...

These are amazing times.

WOW Loam, nice find, and Awesome post. No one could have described , more eloquently the state of affairs at the moment. And you are so right , made me smile, but that is almost the saddest part. Well done.....

Thirty years later (I think that's how old Network is?) and the problems are still the same:

* Russians

* Economic recession (edit: depression!)

* Steel belted radials

Everything is right in the world

What a scene, what movie is it from as I have never came across it before, it is really spot on in terms of our current events.

A few years ago I was looking into the new digital television signals and came across an article that stated the digital airwaves were still public airwaves that were not owned by corporations. In theory you could hijack TV in the UK as there are no current laws and get a message out but I am not sure if the masses would blink an eye. I am unsure of this in other countries.

The UK has become truly silent, you even have to apply to protest for crying out loud!

Good find.

I love this video!

It has been posted before.

This is my favourite video - I post it a lot -
It is actually based on something that happened - the guy blew his brains out at the end of the diatribe though live on television.

yeah... I have this in my sig...

So true

I am MAD AS HELL about what is going on.

Thank you for the good memories with the clip.

OP thumbs up for you

Sometimes we just need a little inspiration, thank you for being my inspiration of today!

(Mods can you please applause the op!)

I made a webbadge with the text... If anyone needs the illustrator or transparant png file, just u2u me

Thanks for posting the link to this movie, I had never came across it before and found a good watch.

Strange how its a 70's movie and the problems are mirroring today's.

I recommend you watch the newest Zeitgeist. It gave me alot of answers/theories on many things that happen such as this.

I know I'll never look at politics the same way

You're welcome.
I first saw it a few years back and thought it was really special, a classic film.... It is strange how the subjects never become dated or irrelevant ... scary

Yes again from another member here man! Thanks for posting this!

This goes to show what kind of power the tube has!

This goes to show what kind of maddness one could create threw a medium such as the Tube!!!

IM Mad as hell, and I wont take it anymore!!!

2 million dollars to spend on wooden Arrows for children!!!

I remember this movie clearly!! And it didnt make as much sense when I saw it when I was but a kid..
This makes pure and prefect sense to me now where I stand in my reality!

People are honestly getting mad.. And they wont take it anymore!

Even my family.. The ones who have been mindless sheep all their lives, are starting to listen to me now..
They are starting to come to me with questions!
Its only taken me 4 years of telling them what is to come.. And they use to call me crazy..
They dont think Im so crazy anymore..
patients is a vertue! And those of you with families who where sheep like mine.. Dont press it on them, just plant the seeds..

This video is a great seed!!! Keep on planting this in the minds!

We ARE going to win this WAR! The war on the mind! The internet is the best tool for this job!! I cant express how lucky we are to have such a powerful tool as the internet.
But like with all tools, when used foolishly it can cut and or hurt the user.

Thanks again for the thread!! GOOD stuff man! good stuff!

Yeah I have watched Zeitgeist and found it enlightening, another few things to watch are,

Money Masters: video.google.com...=money%20masters&emb=0

Money as debt: uk.youtube.com... (very light explation of the banking system)

Esoteric Agenda: video.google.com...

While I may not agree with every single point of each all of them combined can give you a very good idea to say the least.

All of these I learned about from previous posts over the years on ATS.

IM MAD AS HELL!

And im not going to take it anymore!

I'M MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!

Look at the gas prices right now. The economy is nearly ruined so they lower the price to try and get us out and consume.

Looks like many of us were right, the high price of gas had nothing to do with supply and demand....just greed and our Government let them do it. They made us look like Nazi Germany to the world we tortured people in war...they create terror for our people with every step they take...they stole our money and gave it to the banks while AMERICAN families are thrown out on the street...they talked most of you into war and sacrificing your children...they let military recruiters into our schools, impressionable young minds ready to be molded and most of you cheered this on.

They will not stop until you are willing to work for nothing.

What are WE going to do with this anger.
