00:00We can head for the great independent state of cinema and rest there, an unlimited realm, innately inclusive, immune to efforts of occupation, colonization, takeover, ownership or the development of Riviera property.
00:19A borderless realm and with no policy of exclusion, persecution or deportation. State perpetrated and internationally enabled mass murder is currently actively terrorizing more than one part of our world.
00:38Currently condemned by the very bodies specifically set up by humans to monitor things on earth unacceptable to human society. These are facts, they need to be faced.
00:50So for the sake of clarity, let's name it. The inhumane is being perpetrated on our watch. I'm here to name it without hesitation or doubt in my mind and to lend my unwavering solidarity to all those who recognize the unacceptable complacency of our greed addicted governments who make nice with planet wreckers and war criminals wherever they come from.
