  Nice post Ben-Arion... Matt Damon has actually been a champion of Howard Zinns's work for a long time...

  

  Matt Damon Brings Howard Zinn to Life
  February 8, 2012 By Mark Tapson

  Fourteen years ago in his breakout performance as an arrogant young genius in the movie Good Will Hunting, actor Matt Damon’s character sneered at his Boston psychiatrist for “surrounding yourself with all the wrong f**kin’ books. You wanna read a real history book, read Howard Zinn’s People’s History of the United States. That book’ll f**kin’ knock you on your ass.”

  That was from a script Damon himself had written (with fellow actor Ben Affleck, with Oscar-winning rewrite assistance from famed screenwriter William Goldman). It reflected Damon’s own real-life admiration for self-proclaimed radical historian Howard Zinn, whom he is still actively promoting today, almost two years to the day after Zinn’s death.

  Damon went on to co-produce a documentary entitled “The People Speak,” based on A People’s History and Voices of a People’s History of the United States, which Zinn co-edited with anti-war-on-terror socialist Anthony Arnove. Other Hollywood folk like Josh Brolin, Marisa Tomei, Morgan Freeman, Viggo Mortensen, Rosario Dawson, and Kerry Washington lent their star power to it for a History Channel premiere back in 2009.

  On January 31st, actor/activist Damon lent his name and voice to a live performance in Chicago called “The People Speak, Live!” Composed of songs and dramatic readings based on the actual words of, as the organizers put it, “rebels, dissenters, and visionaries from America’s past,” the show was part of an ongoing program to promote Zinn’s subversive work.

  Zinn was arguably the most popular proponent of the “history from below” school of historiography, which explores past events from the perspective of everyday people as opposed to the “Great Men” theory, which actor Brolin, another Zinn devotee, calls mere “propaganda.” Zinn’s 1980 book A People’s History of the United States, one of the best-selling history books of all time thanks partly to the influence of pop culture powerhouses like Damon, Brolin, and the rock group Pearl Jam, is a litany of oppression and exploitation on the part of America’s white ruling class...

  *There is also a film Matt Damon was in last year called Promised Land that many didn't 'see'... but it actually provides meaningful data on the inner workings & strategies of the Illuminati to maintain the illusion of mass control. Definitely worth renting Ashtar Massive. ~InLight555

  This is why you don't hear too much of Matt Damon anymore. Here's the movie "Inside Job," narrated by Matt Damon, about the money addiction problem that hit Iceland and the United States from 2002 to 2008. The difference is that Iceland treated its money addicts like criminals, and the United States treated its money addicts as "non-expendable." Matt Damon knows what is going on.
