Today I don’t have class until after lunch, so I spent some time trolling Motionographer for some videos to watch.
I recommend these visual essays:
The Reichstag Fire | Surveillance | The History of ID | Habeas Corpus

Propaganda is clearly in the hands of the people now. I’m curious what feeling you might get from watching this. Convicted by the actions of the US government?

I find it downright offensive.
