Generation Zero Documentary Explores Roots of Financial Meltdown

One of the most talked about documentaries today is Generation Zero. It was a sleeper hit at both the Conservative Political Action Conference last weekend and at the Tea Party convention in Nashville. Sean Hannity devoted his entire Fox News program to the documentary Tuesday night.

The full-length feature examines the roots of the 2008 financial meltdown in the U.S. and posits the idea that what happened is NOT a failure of America's economic system of capitalism, but rather a failure of our culture and the values held by many in the Sixties generation.

Big Brother Marches Forward in America

In light of the federal government's ongoing efforts to force a nationwide transition to electronic records for all students in the public schools (assisted in Oklahoma by Education Secretary Kathy Taylor's Race to the Top grant application) and for all American citizens (via President Obama's health care reform proposal) this quote from former Jimmy Carter adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski in his 1970 essay, Between Two Ages: America's Role in the Technetronic Era, literally jumped of the page:

"It will soon be possible to assert almost continuous control over every citizen and to maintain up-to-date files containing even the most personal details about health and personal behavior of every citizen, in addition to the more customary data. These files will be subject to instantaneous retrival by the authorities. Power will gravitate into the hands of those who control information."
