Recently available to the public, this film is interesting to say the least.
 
Wake up to the reality of the world we live in...!

 

Be Warned of Digital Deception...

  • Does this make you wonder how much footage from prominent world events is fake?
  • How much fake news are we fed?
  • Dictators, terrorists, riots, revolution beamed into our living rooms as part of on-going psychological warfare against the masses?
  • Is this a conventional war of tanks and guns and bombs in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya or is it really all part of a sustained psychological war on the minds of every single person on the planet?

 

Bush NSA Targeted Journalists


 
 

Consuming Kids 


Fantastic expose on the predatory nature of capitalist consumerism.
There are 52 million kids below the age of 12 in the US, and they’re going after them tooth and tong.

Stay clear of the media, folks.

Do not watch TV and guard what your kids consume via music, videos and other children.

It’s tough but it’s spiritual life or death.

And in the words of Bill Hicks...

if you’re in advertising or marketing, kill yourself!

Control Room


A fascinating film which provides a rare window into the international perception of the Iraq War, courtesy of Al Jazeera, the Arab world's most popular news outlet.
 
Roundly criticized by Cabinet members and Pentagon officials for reporting with a pro-Iraqi bias, and strongly condemned for frequently airing civilian causalities as well as footage of American POWs, the station has revealed (and continues to show the world) everything about the Iraq War that the Bush administration did not want it to see.

 

FOX News Whistle Blowers - UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Freedom of Speech - Stories from the Edge of Free Speech


This documentary film look at the changing interpretations of the first amendment of the U.S. Constitution - laws and court cases that have alternatively broadened and narrowed the amendment’s protection of free speech and assembly.

The film’s thesis is that post 9/11 the government has seized unprecedented license to:

  • surveil
  • intimidate
  • arrest
  • detain citizens and foreigners alike

The film also looks back to the Pentagon Papers’ case and compares it to cases since 9/11 dealing with high school students’ speech and protesters marching in New York City during the 2004 Republican convention.


How Media Lies - CNN, CBS, FOX NEWS channel Distorted Contents


by AnalistReview on April 14, 2011, from YouTube Website


This eye opening long documentary film elaborates on the discovery of American media lies by comparing how news are delivered to the US population and to other countries around the world.
 
The film provides a striking comparison of U.S. and international media coverage of the crisis in the Middle East zeroing in on how structural distortions in U.S. coverage have reinforced false perceptions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for example.
 
This pivotal documentary exposes how the foreign policy interests of American political elites - oil, and a need to have a secure military base in the region, among others - work in combination with Israeli public relations strategies to exercise a powerful influence over how news from the region are reported.
 
Through the voices of scholars, media critics, peace activists, religious figures, and Middle East experts, the documentary carefully analyzes and explains how - through the use of language, framing and context - the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza remains hidden in the news media, and Israeli colonization of the occupied territories appears to be a defensive move rather than an offensive one.
 
The documentary also explores the ways that U.S. journalists, for reasons ranging from intimidation to a lack of thorough investigation, have become complicit in carrying out Israel's PR campaign.
 
At its core, the documentary raises questions about the ethics and role of journalism, and the relationship between media and politics.

London Calling - BBC Bias during the 2014 Scottish Independence Referendum


by London Calling documentary on December 08, 2016, from YouTube Website


 Two organizations emerged losers
after the Scottish 2014 independence referendum.
 
'YES Scotland' won praise after narrowly failing
to overturn a thirty point deficit.
 
The other loser was the BBC.
 
The British State broadcaster sacrificed its reputation
in return for a narrow win for the 'No campaign'.
 
'London Calling' captures the descent of the BBC
during Scotland's historic referendum period.
 
A two year orgy of spin, deceit, manipulation and corruption
has been packaged into
a powerful seventy minute documentary exposé.
 
Thought you could trust the BBC?
 
Prepare to be shocked...

The divide between hard news and propaganda has become murkier than ever in recent years.
 
Audiences from both sides of the aisle have observed an insidious media bias at play whether they consume their news online, in the morning papers or on the nightly networks.
 
The presentation of alternative facts has inspired a palpable sense of disillusionment and mistrust among viewership.
 
The documentary London Calling, based on the popular book of the same name by author G.A. Ponsonby, recounts one of the egregious examples of bias as it targets the BBC and their role in defeating the 2014 referendum for Scotland's independence.

The 'Yes' campaign for independence was rightfully viewed as an underdog, but public support was growing. In the lead up to the vote, however, much of the media seemed chilly to their movement.
 
This was definitely the case with the BBC, a large and long-respected organization that many credit with propelling the downfall of the movement.
 
Key figures within the campaign, media insiders and ordinary voters give voice to the frustrations of the 'Yes' campaigners who experienced defeat both in the voting booth and in the promise of an impartial media.

Do they have a point? The evidence points to much more than just sour grapes.
 
The film is littered with instances of bias committed by the BBC. Opponents cite a series of deceitful headlines, cheap tactics that provoked fear in the outcome of a yes vote, and coverage that failed to find a balance between both sides of the issue.
 
The organization willfully evaded the lingering questions, scandals and controversies that marked the campaign to vote against the independence measure. Meanwhile, leaders in the 'Yes' campaign were tormented by manufactured character assassinations and a barrage of exaggerated negative reporting.
 
Pro-union interests who stood against the quest for independence were given a dominant role in programming while many Scots with a different point of view were given short shrift.

For their part, the BBC claims they adhered to the strictest ethical standards of impartiality in their reporting. But the damage seems to have already been done as more viewers consume their media with increasingly discerning eyes.
 
'London Calling' exposes the importance of an impartial press that is truly representative of the people, and the democratic catastrophes which can occur in its absence.
 
It's a scary potential that we all must struggle against.

Monsanto and Cancer Milk - FOX NEWS KILLS STORY & FIRES Reporters


by sowhtttt on September 10, 2008, from YouTube Website

 
FOX NEWS Reporters (Reporters Steve Wilson & Jane Akre) uncover that most of the Milk in the USA and across some parts of the world is unfit to drink due to Monsanto Corporation's POSILAC ®, which has been proven to be a cancer-causing growth hormone (known in short as "BGH" "BST" or "rBGH" ), but they were fired for trying to tell people the truth.
 

Important note: After a long court battle, the Court dismissed the whistle blowers protection for the reporters because the Court stated that there was no law to force that the NEWS state the truth! Fact! Going on to say the NEWS was no different than other TV shows/reality shows!!
 

But the FDA has turned a blind eye once again!

If you consumed or fed regular milk to your family today (8/21/08), there is more than a 90% chance that it was from a cow injected with BGH (Bovine somatotropin developed by using recombinant DNA technology).

You could be killing or harming your child every time you pour them a glass of milk, the same as pouring them a glass of slow acting poison. Please take action to ensure our children's safety, for they can not protect themselves.

What first alarmed farmers was the massive amount of PUS in the milk but Monsanto and the FDA still had no concerns by stating that the PUS was not harmful to be ingested by consumers!

If you have little children, at least feed them,
  • certified BGH free Milk
  • Organic Milk
  • Organic/BGM free milk equivalent like Organic soy milk


Murdoch Admits He Tried to Shape Public Opinion on Iraq


Obsession - Radical Islam's War Against the West


by simpletoremember on November 26, 2009, from YouTube Website

 
In the run-up to the 2008 election, millions of little plastic pieces of vile filth in the form of a DVD version of a deceitful and meticulously designed and professionally produced (in order to evoke a proper emotional response from certain credulous or otherwise mentally unstable fringe elements) propaganda film '"Obsession - Radical Islam's War Against the West" and sponsored by a well-funded, shadowy front group were mass distributed (28 million) in many of the nation's newspapers and specifically in swing states in advance of the coming election.

US Government Spy Program - Main Core, PROMIS and The Shadow Government

Using images from Arab TV, rarely seen in the West, Obsession reveals an ‘insider's view' of the hatred the Radicals are teaching, their incitement of global jihad, and their goal of world domination.
 
With the help of experts, including first-hand accounts from a former PLO terrorist, a Nazi youth commander, and the daughter of a martyred guerilla leader, the film shows, clearly, that the threat is real.
 
A peaceful religion is being hijacked by a dangerous foe, who seeks to destroy the shared values we stand for.
 
The world should be very concerned.

Orwell Rolls in His Grave


Director Robert Kane Pappas’ ORWELL ROLLS OVER IN HIS GRAVE is the consummate critical examination of the Fourth Estate, once the bastion of American democracy.
 
Asking whether America has entered an Orwellian world of doublespeak where outright lies can pass for the truth, Pappas explores what the media doesn’t like to talk about: itself.
 
Meticulously tracing the process by which media has distorted and often dismissed actual news events, Pappas presents a riveting and eloquent mix of media professionals and leading intellectual voices on the media.
 
Among the cast of characters in ORWELL ROLLS OVER IN HIS GRAVE are:
  • Charles Lewis, director of the Center for Public Integrity
  • Vincent Bugliosi, former L.A. prosecutor and legal scholar
  • film director and author Michael Moore
  • Rep. Bernie Sanders
  • Danny Schecter, author and former producer for ABC and CNN
  • Tony Benn, former member of the British Parliament
ORWELL ROLLS OVER IN HIS GRAVE provides a vital forum for ideas that will never be heard in mainstream media.
 
From Globalvision’s Danny Schecter:
“We falsely think of our country as a democracy when it has evolved into a mediacracy - where a media that is supposed to check political abuse is part of the political abuse.”
New York University media professor Mark Crispin Miller says,
“These commercial entities now vie with the government for control over our lives. They are not a healthy counterweight to government. Goebbels said that what you want in a media system - he meant the Nazi media system - is to present the ostensible diversity that conceals an actual uniformity.”
From the very size of the media monopolies and how they got that way to who decides what gets on the air and what doesn’t, ORWELL ROLLS OVER IN HIS GRAVE moves through a troubling list of questions and news stories that go unanswered and unreported in the mainstream media.
  • Are Americans being given the information a democracy needs to survive or have they been electronically lobotomized?
  • Has the frenzy for media consolidation led to a dangerous irony where in an era of more news sources the majority of the population has actually become less informed?
ORWELL ROLLS OVER IN HIS GRAVE reminds us that 1984 is no longer a date in the future

 


COMMENTS

The book "1984," written in 1949 by English writer George Orwell, was a book of a future in which the future was run by a dictatorship which successfully controlled the minds of its population.
 
This must see film explains the umbrella of all problems in the United States; the self-censorship of media.
 
It also explains why there is a need for websites like ours.

Rule from The Shadows - The Psychology of Power


by StormCloudsGathering on January 7, 2014, from YouTube Website




The pursuit for dominance is the primary propellant of history, always has been, always will be.
 
Those who don't identify this assumption are not excused in the grand chess game, but instead are displaced and exploited by forces they do not comprehend.

From the aspect of those who rule the board it is unmistakably desirable to have a populace of unaware pawns than it is to have a bunch of adversaries which can escalate an effective battle.
 
To that end it has always been preferable for the rulers to build up illusions which conceal the true nature of the game.

Walter Lippmann explained the "manufacture of consent" as an innovation in the usage of democracy.
 
Basically it's a method of domination, and he said this was beneficial and essential because the prevailing interests, the accepted concerns of the population elude the public. Lippmann wasn't theorizing, nor was he explaining anomaly that he had observed from far away, he was part of that particular class and he directly affected the evolution of this new method of control.

So what was this new method that Lippmann was alluding to? The answer to that inquiry takes us back to the dawn of World War I.
 
In 1917 Woodrow Wilson assembled the Committee on Public Information, also known as the CPI. It was a disinformation bureau and its goal was to boost war approval among the American people.
 
The CPI, controlled by a man named George Creel, was known for its vulgar approach, blatant overstatements and outright deceptions.

However one representative of the CPI, Edward Bernays, had a much more sophisticated approach.
 
Instead of using nonintellectual tactics Bernays analyzed the psychology of the American people, then according to his scrutiny he conceived a campaign to advocate the idea that America's function in the war was to:
"make the world safe for democracy."

The Cynical Use of Emotion to Sell a Horrific Agenda - David Icke


The Subversive Use of Sacred Symbolism in The Media - Symbol Literacy


Have you ever wondered whether the billion-dollar artifice of the media, and of the advertising conglomerates, has any lasting negative effect on your mind and behavior, or whether the young are particularly affected by the all-pervasive presence of ads?
 
Is it rational to expect large ad-corporations to jeopardize their vast monopolies by becoming more responsible in the future?
 
Can Madison Avenue agencies and other "Hidden-Persuaders" ever be held accountable, if it is discovered and proven that the glamorous creations of their industry do indeed have lasting negative effects on our minds and behavior?
 
Is the new designer disease of our age "Affluenza," and is the consumer the consumed, in these times of excess and chronic commercialism?
