The People Are Retarded.

I have long felt that Wubby and anyone else who watches stream and hasn't seen it should spend the time it takes to watch the Netflix documentary "Wild, Wild Country". It consists of 6 episodes that run 60 minutes each and is the origin of the short clip Wubby has played multiple times on stream in which the old man in a turban mutters the phrase "The people... are retarded...".

From start to finish it ramps up continuously and I'm surprised it happened in the USA without hearing about it sooner, but it’s all real and well covered. It begins with these buddhist-esque spiritual folks in India who build a commune in rural Oregon because of the religious freedoms they're entitled to. It spirals into political takeovers, cult dynamics, assassination plots, orgies, an armed militia, Rolls-Royces, bioterror attacks, and a really fascinating power struggle between the old dude from the clip and this younger Indian lady who's a proper hard-ass.

It tells both sides of the story over time so you're sort of conflicted about how you feel at times re who to side with. It’s well edited, made using loads of real footage from the time, and somehow manages to be disturbing, surreal, and weirdly human. Even if documentaries usually aren’t your thing this is still a really great watch.

It will only take 3 weeks to cover and it would be a great stream show for Wednesdays. Even if only a couple people see this, go watch it... give it one episode!

"Mayor Rudy Giuliani is currently in the hospital, where he remains in critical but stable condition," the statement said. "Mayor Giuliani is a fighter who has faced every challenge in his life with unwavering strength, and he's fighting with that same level of strength as we speak.  We do ask that you join us in prayer for America's Mayor -- Rudy Giuliani."
