Narrator: Prison for western hostages ISIS-held Syria. Man 1: Psst- I made shivs! Let's kill our guards and run for the Turkish border! Man 2: Are you nuts?!? As a newbie hostage, you're too inexperienced to realize that change comes slowly, through long, hard work- not die-in-the-sky fantasies! We must support our guard, Al Hilla! She is cruel. She doesn't care about us. But she's inexperienced. She knows how to work the system, from the inside.
I think it’s spot-on.
We’ve been hostage to Clinton-Bush-Obama corporate-run government for so long, we’re afraid to escape even when we’re given a chance.
It’s a big psych-out. That we have to let the 1% make the laws.
