HyperNormalisation (2016)

HyperNormalisation: Directed by Adam Curtis. With Adam Curtis, Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Victor Gotbaum. Adam Curtis explains how, at a time of confusing and inexplicable world events, politicians and the people they represent have retreated in to a damaging over-simplified version of what is happening.

“The moment that Adam Curtis names Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin along suicide bombers, waves of refugees and Brexit among some of the things that u0026quot;undermine the stability of the worldu0026quot; we know that this is just another leftwing, neoliberalist propaganda u0026quot;documentaryu0026quot;, created to demonize Rusia, Iran and all the enemies of the Neocon world Order.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOf course Mr. Curtis never mentions of the fact that the biggest culprits of the destruction of the stability of the world in the past eight years are Obama, Hillary Clinton as US secretary of state, and the CIA, which in less than a decade have managed to create ISIS and completely destroy Libya, Siria, Yemen and topple the governments of Egypt, Tunisia, with the CIA backed and planned u0026quot;Arab Springu0026quot;. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe Obama / Clinton warmongering u0026quot;legacyu0026quot; far exceeds the destruction created by G W Bush and his neocon war on Iraq: During his 8 years of terror, Obumma dropped 26,171 bombs on wedding parties, funerals, kidu0026#39;s soccer games, hospitals, schools, people in their homes and walking their streets, and farmers tilling their fields in seven countries: Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan. Some Nobel Peace prize winner.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn the rest of this film, Mr. Curtis tries to explain u0026quot;how the world got to this pointu0026quot; by coming up with some lame theory of u0026quot;hypernormalizationu0026quot; that claims that the (nameless) people in power have been fooling all of us, even those who are opposed to the system by creating a sanitized version of reality.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMr. Curtis is partially right, and ironically, he and his pathetic, pop-music driven propaganda documentaries are themselves a part of the fake news reality constructed by the neoliberalists in power, and their channels of brainwashing mass media like the BBC, CNN, NBC, etc etc u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis documentary wastes no time to take jabs Donald Trump, by coming up with some ridiculous links between NYC bankers and some inane seventies NYC underground artists as if this was the start of the fake news and fake reality.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe truth is that the imperialist propaganda machine has been running since the beginning of the 20th century.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs expected, Mr. Curtis goes on to paint Syrian president Assadu0026#39;s father Hafez al-Assad (president from 1971 to 2000) AS some kind of evil dictator, and to blame him, Iran and Egypt for the creation of radical islamists. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is completely ridiculous, as award-winning geopolitical analyst William Engdahl has written in his many books; most terrorist organizations in the Middle East are the descendants of the CIA- backed Muslim Brotherhood after WWII, as used for example in Afghanistan against the Russians in the form of the Taliban. The animosity between the muslims and the west started way back at the beginning of the century when the British were trying to destroy the Ottoman Empire.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLetu0026#39;s not forget that at one point or another, Osama BinLaden, Saddam Hussein and the Shah of Iran were all CIA / US imperialist puppets.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn this ridiculous documentary, Adam Curtis refuses to blame the real culprits of the never-ending warmongering around the word.. US imperialism, the CIA and the Neocons that run the US government and its policies, and the puppets of evil.. Bush, Blair, Obama, NATO, etcu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHe does the best that he can to demonize those who side with Russia (like Syria and Iran) and oppose the neocon / neoliberal world order.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis film clearly shows that Adam Curtis is nothing but a coward, neoliberal propagandist.”
