Before the M.I.A. show in Atlanta on Halloween, a video played with an Asia-Talking-Head-Dude who ranted about the uselessness of voting and the like. I've been hoping since so many people were videoing it and shooting photos (and I assume it has been/will be the same at other stops on the tour) that it would appear on YouTube. I've done searches and the only thing I come up with is a quote attributed to Realpolitik on the following website:

This is some kind of online warfare game site where, it appears, M.I.A. (if she in fact is the filmaker behind the opening sequence) lifted much of the Realpolitik section or from wherever this was lifted. Though I understand what Realpolitik means from the Wikipeida entry, I don't understand who this is quoting. Yo, any people from the General Politics section wanna chime in? My favorite quote is in my signature below.

Of course, his name is Kouichi Toyama.
Good luck with youtube, that speech was removed for some time.
