Why we fight a movie by Eugene Jarecki about the “military-commercial-complex” (mcc) in the USA. A documantary which is silent, clear and impressiv.

Off the record (otr) is new protocoll which aims to protect your private conversations from to curriuos people even from yourself after you finished the conversation. Sure if you wanna save the conversation even otr won’t be able to truely avoid that at the moment but this is where its name comes from.

Will keep you posted.
