Bin Laden and Climate Change?!?!
Bin Laden is now making more sense than even our corporate and political leaders. Until we have a concerted effort to bring down capitalism and its ravages there cannot be even the hope for any freedom or liberty.

The Myth of Scarcity
So often greed is masked behind the Myth of Scarcity.
We actually live in tremendous luxury, wealth, abundance, and privilege, yet systems of domination develop a sense of "Created Need" to get us rats to continue on the treadmill of capitalism, or us slaves dragging our slabs up to the top of Pharoah's Pyramid.

6ixtynin9
I want to start keeping track of how many films have as a plot element the predicaments caused by losing money, needing money, or otherwise being in some financial predicament, and to what extent this is a resistance to capitalism and how artists are often typically not good at making money or care that much for its pursuit.
In this case, a Thai Boxing School is involved with a Gangster for whom they fix fights and courier money. A mix up ensues when the main character's "6" flips down to become a "9".
"If I found a bunch of money, I'd keep it and go to some remote place. Or better yet, go abroad. Who knows maybe you'll even get a foreign husband!"
The colonized mind and the values they imbue.
The main actress in this Thai film looks very mixed. She has some very Euro looking features. This could be that at some point in her family's ancestry there was some. Then first male character also looks like he has western features as well. He's tall and good-looking, highly praised and valued in most Asian societies (as they are seen as "western" features... whether they actually are or not)
"A woman tries to flee to London with stolen money." Starring Lalita Panyopas, Tasanawalai Ongartittichai, Black Phomtong, Sritao. From Thailand. 1999. 111 mins.

Michael Clayton
The world of capital must create a world of corruption, and discovery of the truth will lead to either death or insanity.
