Apocalypse: WWI (all five parts)
In English, French documentary with stunning, colorized original footage. Best war documentary I've ever seen and the complete madness of war is laid bare. These filmmakers also have a six part series, Apocalypse WWII, which is excellent, and another on Stalin (I've not seen it, yet). Not sure what else they've done but anything by this crew has to be worth watching.

I haven't found any site where you can view all five parts for free (not even archive) but there are library sites where you can d/l.

When the war started, most soldiers thought they'd be home for the harvest.

PART 1: FURY
(until August 1914): Origin of the conflict and the clash between empires

(Also on archive but can't link here. Vimeo always keeps buffering for me so if you have that problem, just do a search for the archive link)

PART 2: FEAR
(September 1914 – August 1915): Battle of the Marne and internationalization of the conflict.

PART 3: HELL
(September 1915 – July 1916): appearance of bloody weapons never seen before; Battle of Verdun and Battle of the Somme.

PART 4: RAGE
(August 1916 – September 1917): there are already a huge number of deaths in combat. The United States enters the scene.

PART 5: DELIVERANCE
(October 1917 – June 1919): Allied victory and world peace, but the scars do not seem to be definitively closed.

In his poem Human Pride, Marx admits that his aim is not to improve the world, reform or revolutionize it, but simply to ruin it and enjoy it being ruined:

With disdain I will throw my gauntlet full in the face of the world,
And see the collapse of this pygmy giant whose fall will not stifle my ardor.
Then will I wander godlike and victorious through the ruins of the world
And, giving my words an active force, I will feel equal to the Creator.

“Looking for consciousness in the brain is like looking in the radio for the announcer.”

– Nasseim Haramein, Director of Research for the Resonance Project


Normalize every aberrant behavior, bring common all deviancy and let fly the reins of morality and reason, then welcome in that utopia that liberals embrace called communism, that which most Americans with but a shard of ethic would immediately recognize as evil.

In Flanders Fields
BY JOHN MCCRAE

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

IN VEGAS FIELDS

In Vegas fields the hookers blow
Between the casinos, row on row,
That mark our stash - coke and shrooms,
Its all the same, just different rooms.
The sharks, still bravely game,
Scarce heard amid the bums below.

We are the losers. Short days ago
We lived, felt pussy, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
And tell a pork pie to our wives.

Take up our quest for snake eyes twice:
From failing hands the dice we throw
The touch be yours to get some thigh.
If ye break some wind I'll surely die
We shall not sleep, though pimples grow
Within our crotch from all the clap
We've gotten through all this crap.
