Nothing is more tragic than a conquered people on a stage with an oblivious pop culture icon trying to sing about them
SMH… This is worse than Wounded Knee and the Trail of Tears combined.

Do you remember the Y2K hysteria of the late 90’s? Leonard Nimoy does.
As government officials and computer programmers were thinking about what to do when the century changed and all digital dates would roll over to 00’s, the press made a big deal out of it.
Some people got worried, as middle Americans are want to do, and bought up lots of canned food, water, batteries, and other things you would need in the case of the apocalypse…. or if power was out for a few days.
Contributing to the hysteria, and possibly profiting off of it, were so-called experts in emergency preparedness. A group of them got together and made this video, and somehow convinced Leonard Nimoy to host and narrate it. Apparently, he was available.
Mr. Nimoy calmly explains that a disaster might be coming as cheap graphics tell you “people will die.”
With all the hindsight of knowing how uneventful January 1, 2000, was, you can have fun with this video.
A few various “experts” are brought on, from an obscure congressman and a British military man.
