The Big Brother State

http://www.bigbrotherstate.com - Watch the Movie in better Quality. The Big Brother State is an educational film about what politicians claim to be protection of our freedom but what we refer to as repressive legislation. Since terrorism has become a global threat, especially after 9/11, governments all over the world have started enforcing laws which, so the governments say, should increase national security. These laws obviously aim at another goal: the states gaining more and more control of their citizens at the cost of our privacy and freedom.
Robert Plant - Big Log

Official music video for Big Log by Robert Plant. Available on the Robert Plant Nine Lives Box Set DVD with 19 other music videos. Lyrics: My love is in league with the freeway It's passion will ride, as the cities fly by And the tail-lights dissolve, in the coming of night And the questions in thousands take flight My love is the miles and the waiting The eyes that just stare, and a glance at the clock And the secret that burns, and the pain that won't stop And it's fuel is the years Leading me on Leading me down the road Driving me on, driving me down the road My love is exceeding the limit Red-eyed and fevered with the hum of the miles Distance and longing, my thoughts do collide Should I rest for a while, on the side Your love is cradled in knowing Eyes in the mirror, still expecting they'll come Sensing to well, when the journey is done There is no turning back, no There is no turning back, on the run. My love is in league with the freeway Oh, the freeway, and the coming of night-time My love, My love, Is in league with the freeway.
