About Me


There's hardly been a time when I have seen a more meaningful, well-thought out and meticulous documentary. I recommend, no… I URGE you to see this film! It is a proof of consciousness in the midst of chaos, the perfect example of relevant and crucial information, a masterpiece and a brilliant educational investment.
I will make it my personal mission to propagate it and I'm forever grateful that there are still scrupulous people in this world who make an extraordinary effort to invest in valuable contributions to our distorted society.
If you haven't seen it, you have to. If you haven't heard of it, get informed. Now is the time...so wake up!

Also see my blog on 'Power of information' for additional trailers. ...Oh, and based on the overwhelming amount of questions about the movie being out yet, the answer is YES! you can rent it at any video store.


“Butterflies & Hurricanes” - MUSE Written by: Matthew Bellamy


Change everything you are
and everything you were
your number has been called
Fights and battles have begun
revenge will surely come
your hard times are ahead
Best, you've got to be the best
you've got to change the world
and use this chance to be heard
your time is now
Don't let yourself down
and don't let yourself go
your last chance has arrived


“New Born” - MUSE Written by: Matthew Bellamy


Link it to the world
Link it to yourself
Stretch it like a birth squeeze
The love for what you hide
The bitterness inside
Is growing like the newborn
When you’ve seen, seen
Too much too young, young
Soulless is everywhere
Hopeless time to roam
The distance to your home
Fades away to nowhere
How much are your worth
You can’t come down to earth
You’re swelling up - you’re unstoppable
´Cause you’ve seen, seen
Too much too young, young
Soulless is everywhere
Destroy the spineless
Show me it’s real
Wasting our last chance
To come away
Just break the silence
´Cause I’m drifting away
Away from you
Yeah, link it to the world
Link it to yourself
Stretch it like a birth squeeze
The love for what you hide
The bitterness inside
Is growing like the newborn
When you’ve seen, seen
Too much too young, young
Soulless is everywhere
