A NATION is an extraordinary film about the plight of people of the
Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean. <br>
<br>
Unknown to the British Parliament and to the U.S. Congress, the
British government plotted with Washington to expel the entire
population – brutally, in secrecy and in breach of the United
Nations Charter - to make way for an American military base. The
base, on the main island of Diego Garcia, was a launch pad for the
invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. The Americans demanded that the
islands be “swept” and “sanitized”.<br>
<br>
Diego Garcia [as of 2004] is America's largest military base in the
world outside the US. There are more than 4,000 troops, 2 bomber
runways, 30 warships and a satellite spy station. The Pentagon calls
it an "indispensable platform" for policing the world. <br>
<br>
A remarkable dossier of evidence charts one of the most shocking
conspiracies of modern times, which continues today.<br>
<br>
"<i>I have said earlier that the United States is now totally frank
about putting its cards on the table. That is the case. Its
official declared policy is now defined as 'full spectrum
dominance'. That is not my term, it is theirs. 'Full spectrum
dominance' means control of land, sea, air and space and all
attendant resources.</i>" ~Harold Pinter<br>
<br>
<i>"Are the people of the planet powerless to end this [US-led]
tyranny of violence?</i>" ~Ramsey Clark, former US Attorney
General<br>
<br>
<b><big>Also showing:<i> <big>We Don't Play Golf Here</big></i> <br>
</big></b><br>
To stop construction of a corporate golf course -- “globalization”
-- and 1,500 vacation chalets, the people of Tepoztlan confronted
federal troops. As it has done in countless other villages
throughout the world where people still speak indigenous languages
(Nahual), corporate culture invaded. The “investors” constructed not
just factories and shopping malls, but in this Morelos village,
proposed to replace soccer with the corporate “sport” of golf, which
included building 1500 vacation chalets and a country club.<br>

</style>Using Mexico as an example of what much of the third world has
experienced, film-maker Saul Landau shows how foreign investment in
export factories distorts the native culture and environment. With
exquisite photography, elegant editing, and original music, the film
probes the essence of the new economic disorder.<br>

Why should YOU care? It's YOUR money that pays for US/Israeli wars -
on Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Palestine, Libya. Syria, Iran, So
America, etc etc - for billionaire bailouts, for ever more
ubiquitous US prisons, for the loss of liberty and civil rights... <br>
