If you want to see what the true face of the police state monster that Joe Arpaio and the rest of the LawnOrder fascists are unleashing on the brownies in Arizona to be followed by the rest of us later... watch this video..."Born Free" WARNING- This video depicts violence in an all too real way...
As reported in this New York Times article, YouTube has taken the video clip down... nothing like protecting us from nude old people or whatever pretext they can dream of...
The vid is for MIA, but the director is Romain Gavras, son of Costa Gavras, whose film Z depicted the horrors of the Greek military dictatorship in the mid 1960's.
This music video for MIA is actually from Romain Gavras' new film "Redheads" where all men with red hair are hunted down and then taken out into the desert and executed... sound familiar?
The best comments on why this video is important for us to watch probably come from MTV's James Montgomery ...
That doesn't mean, however, that it shouldn't be required viewing. Because "Free," which debuted Monday (April 26) on M.I.A.'s website, depicts the kind of things that most nations — including the U.S., which is portrayed as the aggressor in the clip — often pretend don't happen: the rounding-up of ethnic minorities, the trampling of personal liberties, the bullying of the powerless by those with authority. And it does so in an unflinchingly, unapologetically real way.
For those of you who just don't get it... and want to live under the illusion that the Arizona law is just a "get-tough" solution to the "immigration problem"... the only logical end of this road that so obviously targets "brownies" and their families... is the kind of "get tough" measures shown in this clip...
And if you think this is just a fictional homage to music vid violence... bullsheet... This director knows how to show the true face of the law-and-order-at-all-costs monster, which the Arizona anti-immigrant law is..
It's eerie that this vidclip comes out now..with it's depictions of how police raids actually come down..you can bet Joe Arpaio and his brown-shirted bullies will take full advantage of their police state power while it lasts... and the shooting in the desert is probably too close for my comfort to every overarmed Minuteman's wet dream of how to "protect the border"....
