VICE on HBO

The special report on "Killing Cancer" and the season premiere "Our Rising Oceans" are mind-blowingly excellent. If you need one reason to subscribe to HBO this could be it.

It was about the melting glaciers in Antarctica and the effects on the rest of the planet. I missed the first one about cancer. HBO will probably repeat it.

...like baby-mills in India, or trans-gendered Iranians, the documentaries just blow you away...

You don't get broadcast reporting like this anywhere else. Watch or stream if you can.

The episode about ISIS recruiting in Europe was horrifying....and the most recent about the 'new' Cold War battlelines being drawn up in Ukraine was really quite worrying...

God knows TPTB have been itching to have a 'proper' war fought with tanks and planes rather than by an invisible army that uses IEDs....I have a sinking feeling that the Ukraine situation will get worse before it gets better...

But the reporting is excellent, the insight you gain by watching this as opposed to the spoon-fed shit from the M$M is immense...I just wish it was on all the time...

Elements for a perfect storm are in place: paranoia, fanaticism, and war profiteering and propaganda, played out on a world stage of diminishing natural resources and climate change.
