This may have been posted about already since it's already in episode 8, and pretty sure most of you have heard of this series, but in case you haven't, it's excellent and well worth the watch. I've enjoyed every episode, more thorough than most television shows as well as a lot more honest.

Untold History of the United States
Our struggle is not against actual corrupt individuals, but against those in power in general, against their authority, against the global order and the ideological mystification which sustains it.

Crap. Vids not available in Korea. Looks like an interesting series, though. Will try to find it elsewhere.

you can always change your IP to watch blocked videos.

I have a program for getting a fake IP, but it slows the download down so much that it's hardly worth the effort. I'll try, though, and see what happens.

No need to embed. Just paste the URL, highlight it and click the youtube tag.

Along the lines of People's History of the United States?
If I had a decent internet connection I'd watch it.

Re: Untold History of the United States
Thanks for posting this. I have saved all the Youtube links in a folder to watch later. The USA is very fond of its historical myths and this looks like a good attempt to explode a few of them. Shall view with interest!.

Re: Untold History of the United States
I'd recommend it, rEv. Chapter 1 was good. It's a concise overview of how the power shifts brought about WWII and the end of it, but it's not quite the same story we learn in US history classes.

Re: Untold History of the United States
Downloading the first two ep's off bittorrent cheers for the heads up sandinista i've always enjoyed oliver stone's doco work.
The Pope was today knocked down at the start of Christmas mass by a woman who hopped over the barriers. The woman was said to be, "Mentally unstable."Trolldor wrote:Ahh cardinal Pell. He's like a monkey after a lobotomy and three lines of cocaine.
Which is probably why she went unnoticed among a crowd of Christians.

Re: Untold History of the United States
I was very interested, till I saw the name Oliver Stone.
Everything I've ever seen by him has been complete shite, aimed at dummies.
Even though I was hoping it wasn't going to be.
I've given up now so I'll pass.

A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.
