Scott Noble's wide-ranging and fine documentary film of 2010. It's about the many attempts--some fairly successful--to reduce human beings to mere "cogs in the machine"--in order to further increase the wealth and power of the elite.
This week's installment shows psychology's "frustration-aggression" principle used as a means of social control. One predictable result of the human frustration "The System" creates is mass murder--as shown in the case of James Huberty.
(Continued under "Credits.")
But the WORST mass-murderers are governments and politicians. With that claim (by anthropologist Elliott Leyton), the film begins to explore the CIAs infamous Project MK-ULTRA and other deadly experiments the U.S. government conducted on unwitting citizens in the decades following World War II.
