I’m watching this item from prisonplanet of some group or other of 9\/11 conspiratorial windbags assaulting John McCain. The video is tedious<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What I hate about this video is not so much the crux of the content — a press outlet where these conspiratorialists ask John McCain awkward questions McCain considers beneath him — McCain having garnered their wrath for having written a preface to the Popular Mechanics 9\/11 conspiracy theory debunking book. To each their own.
\nI loathe the production. I hate the intro. I hate the outro. I hate the trumpets at the start announcing that something is coming. I hate the stylistic drumbeat of splatting from one still image to another in rapid procession, which intercuts the thing at different points in the proceedings for a naseating effect that in its desire to captivate me into strong emotions leaves me rather detached.<\/p>\n

They are stylistic jackasses. I see this mode of video editing for “politically provocative” “guerilla” videos of any number of political stripes, and on to the non-political. I do not like it.\u00c2\u00a0 I want my web content from self described grassroots fighters against the Establishment to be stripped down. If you look around there, you can find video of Alex Jones yelling in a bullhorn in the direction of the meeting of the Bilderberg Conference. I liked that one. Just as politically fringey, if a little more palatable in the sense that — indeed, it is a conspiracy of the rich and powerful making decisions on the course of human events — and in its way as confrontational — if only to a brick wall — but much more viewable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
