Note to anyone hoping to avoid unpleasantness - there's plenty here, lots of 9/11 footage and other war footage.

Interesting video but I wonder how it will be interpreted vis a vis sift rules...

You'll see blood on the ground among other things - fairly warned be thee, says I.

It may be on the line. It is gory and gruesome. Blog it if necessary.

Images of war should not be sanitized as a blanket rule even in this mostly genteel space. And I think this particular mashup powerfully presents the endless militaristic Mobius strip of provocation and response.

Agreed rickegee, the realities of the worlds' most watched and editorialized events, (snuff is not war-dead or dying) should be witnessed, if the means are there-beheadings included.

Daniel Pearl?? remember him?? His widow and surviving family do….
-Again, to keep true to the theme here, the paradigm,- we live in a world driven by money. The power is in the hands of the well-insulated leftovers of who knows, the Roman Empire?? It sure ain’t fuckin’ Genghis Khan!!!

Military Industry, Pharmacueticals, Fossil Fuels, Banking, Insurance, This is why we fight. Masses are bred, fed, and led, by assumptions and desires, which the archetects of this boardgame understand fully, and exploit skillfully and completely.

The cracks in the ediface, showing and growing for years, are ignored and go unexploited, through diversion and misdirection, by giving the worker-bees what they desire…..pollen comes in new and improved colors and textures nowadays, with lots of flashy lights and cozy warm feeeeeeelings.

Hmmmmm.? Isn’t there a Colesium-like structure in every major city in the world???
And if sports aint yer diversion, then eye-candy, blow-jobs, Allah, Jesus, or mini empire- building is. What’s yours?? A holy crusade against drunk driving, or save the freekin snow beavers’ from wobal glorming!!!???

Collective heads in in asses is why the world chugs along the path of chaos….enjoy the wonder years while you can, the change will be abrupt, and all-encompassing.
Hopi you’ll aaalllllllll make it….
You will, we will.

I would say that this is a brilliant video

no doubt....just watched it again, with a blank slate...

The song was irritating and the content jejune.

"snuff is not war-dead or dying" is a good phrase to remember

i love sufjan. singlehandedly redefining music with religious undertones into something creative and listenable, and redefining the scope of indie rock's soundscape (incorporating sting ensembles alongside organs and laptops).
