VIDEO:  The Price of Silence  (7 Minutes)

60 years ago this very day - after the horrors of World War II - the world came together at the United Nations to unanimously pass the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.  This powerful declaration says that every human being deserves dignity, freedom and respect. It's the first blueprint for global rights, establishing fundamental freedoms for every human being.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xevGz8_MBKk&tr=y&auid=4312345

AUDIO FILE: GREG PALAST-Blood for No Oil

"In American, 2004, November second, in Ohio, George Bush was announced the winner by 118, 000 votes. Not counting 239,127 votes, almost twice as many votes as the so called victory margin, were never counted. And you know, here is the nastier secret: it ain't just Ohio; and in 2000 it wasn't just Florida. That's what they want you to think. Not counting the votes is as American as apple pie and there were 3,680,000 votes cast and never counted in the United States of America, not Ukraine, not Uganda. I got this from deep in the files of the Election Information Administration of the U.S. government for which we stand."

Emergency Official Witnessed Dead Bodies In WTC 7

Exclusive video of emergency official Barry Jennings discussing explosions inside WTC 7 before either of the twin towers had collapsed and having to step over dead bodies of victims as he attempted to vacate the building has been released for the first time. The clip, which was originally intended to feature in Loose Change Final Cut but had to be withdrawn according to Jennings' wishes after he had received threats, has now been made public in anticipation of a BBC documentary about Building 7 which is expected to skew Jennings' account in an attempt to reinforce the official story. http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/june2008/062308_dead_bodies.htm

You can see for yourself in our interview that Pete, though nearly 90 years old, continues to offer his stories, songs, and support to those working for a better world. And he continues to delight in his children and grandchildren, his solar-powered pick-up truck, and the views of his beloved Hudson River from his hand-built home.”  “If there’s a world here in a hundred years, it’s going to be saved by tens of millions of little things. The powers-that-be can break up any big thing they want. They can corrupt it or co-opt it from the inside, or they can attack it from the outside. But what are they going to do about 10 million little things? They break up two of them, and three more like them spring up!”  Pete Seeger http://www.yesmagazine.org/article.asp?id=2440&utm_source=mar08&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=15_petetx6

VIDEO: ZEITGEIST-the movie  2 hours

Zeitgeist is a German word that literally means ‘spirit of the times.’ The documentary is comprised by three sections and examines religion, 911, and the U.S. banking system. It is essentially an exploration into how humans have been and continue to be controlled and manipulated.

Part I: The Greatest Story Ever Told

Part I evaluates the historicity of the Bible. In furtherance of the Jesus myth hypothesis, this part argues that the historical Jesus is a literary and astrological hybrid, and that the Bible is based on astrological principles documented by many ancient civilizations, especially pertaining to the movement of the sun through the sky and stars. The film explains how and why early civilizations personified the Sun as the "representative of the unseen Creator or God" and how stars were linked into constellations, the 12 constellations being a place of travel for "God's Sun" and representing "elements of nature that happened during that period of time." This section is also used by the film to show the Pagan origins of the symbol of the Cross.

Part II: All the World's a Stage

Part II of the documentary claims 9/11 was engineered to generate mass fear, justify going to war with Afghanistan and Iraq, to remove civil liberties from the general public, and to make more money for the people in power.

Part III: Don't Mind the Men Behind the Curtain

According to Part III, powerful bankers have been conspiring for world domination and increased power while the rich of society have been using their wealth to increase financial panic and foster a consolidation of independent competing banks. The film details and claims that the Federal Reserve System of the United States, was created in order to steal the wealth of the nation. It explores war profiteering by banking cartels and defense and military contractors. It describes the goal of these bankers as world power over the people. http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/

Senator Dodd Says:  It’s Time to Say Enough!

A senior Democratic statesman took to the Senate floor yesterday and delivered a jeremiad against President Bush and his lawlessness the likes of which I'm not sure we've ever heard there before. What set off Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) was the warrantless surveillance bill sent over from the House this week and seemingly assured of passage in the Senate. The bill significantly broadens Bush's spying powers and essentially guarantees civil-lawsuit immunity for the telecommunications companies that cooperated in earlier surveillance efforts. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/blog/2008/06/25/BL2008062501380_pf.html

Philosopher Dan Dennett makes a compelling argument that not only don't we understand our own consciousness, but that half the time our brains are actively fooling us. As he puts it, our bodies are made up of 100 trillion little robots, none of them with an individual consciousness. So what makes us feel we have one? Or that we're in control of it? Dennett's hope is to show his audience that "Your consciousness is not quite as marvelous as you may have thought it is." He uses thought experiments and optical illusions to demonstrate to the TED audience that even very big brains are capable of playing tricks on their owners. http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/102

VIDEO:   Jimmy Wales: On the Birth of Wikipedia ( 20 Minutes )

Jimmy Wales assembled "a ragtag band of volunteers," gave them tools for collaborating, and created Wikipedia, the self-organizing, self-correcting, never-finished encyclopedia of the future. Here, he explains how the collaborative approach works, and why it succeeds. Along the way, he debunks some controversies, explains the "neutral point-of-view policy" and why it is non-debatable; and details the Wikipedia governance model: a democracy with a bit of aristocracy and some monarchy thrown in. http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/37

 

VIDEO:   Jeff Bezos: After the Gold Rush, There's Innovation Ahead

The dot-com boom-and-bust is often compared to the 1849 Gold Rush, and Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos offers historical evidence showing how similar they were: from the riches made by pioneers to the media hype that attracted luckless speculators. But a better analogy can be found in the early days of the electric industry, he says. In the late 1800s, the U.S. was first wired to support lightbulbs; the following century saw a long procession of new appliances, life-changing advances, and of course some amusing failures. His conclusion in 2003: "I believe there's more innovation ahead of us than behind us." http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/105

 

VIDEO:  Caroline Lavelle: A cello performance that casts a spell ( 7 minutes )

Caroline Lavelle plays the cello like a sorceress casting a spell, occasionally hiding behind her wild mane of blond hair as she sings of pastoral themes. Her alluring style is reminiscent of Sarah MacLaughlin -- “The sea it freezes over to trap the light / And I'm in love with being in love and you were never quite the one.” When Lavelle gives full voice to her cello, as she does here during a performance of “Farther than the Sun” (from her album Brilliant Midnight 2.0) she's truly enchanting. TED Music Director Thomas Dolby backs her on keyboards. http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/101

VIDEO:  Brain Science is About to Fundamentally Change Computing ( 20 Minutes )

To date, there hasn't been an overarching theory of how the human brain really works, Jeff Hawkins argues in this compelling talk. That's because we still haven't defined intelligence accurately. But one thing's for sure, he says: The brain isn't like a powerful computer processor. It's more like a memory system that records everything we experience and helps us predict, intelligently, what will happen next. Bringing this new brain science to computer devices will enable powerful new applications -- and it will happen sooner than you think. http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/125

37-Year-Old Recording of Kent State Killings Found, Tape 'Reveals Order' to Shoot Vietnam Protesters

The command, as Alan Canfora heard it on a 37-year-old audio recording recently discovered in a government archive, appeared to leave no room for doubt. "Right here. Get set. Point. Fire." Then came 13 seconds of gunfire. When it ended, four students were dead and nine injured, and the shootings at Kent State University became engraved in America's collective memory as one of the most painful days of the Vietnam era. http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,,2070139,00.html  AUDIO:  http://karenkilroy.com/audio/may_4_1970_fire.wma

VIDEO:  ( 47 Minutes )  Money as Debt

Animated presentation of "Money as Debt" tells in very simple and effective graphic terms what money is and how it  is being created. It is an entertaining way to get the message out. The Cowichan Citizens Coalition and its "Duncan Initiative" received high praise from those who previewed it. I recommend it as a painless but hard-hitting educational tool and encourage the widest distribution and use by all groups concerned with the present unsustainable monetary system in Canada and the United States.

VIDEO:  (5 Minutes )  Dissent in Times of War, by Mumia Abu-Jamal 

Mark Twain was one of the most popular writers in America, and his fiction is at the heart of American literature. Yet, he was a staunch opponent of U.S. military adventures at the dawn of the 20th century, and proudly opposed such militarism. Naturally, the establishment questioned his patriotism. In one of his novels, 'A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court', Twain gave eloquent voice to his brand of loyalty:

VIDEO:  New Rulers of the World, A documentary film by John Pilger

'Global economy' is a modern Orwellian term. On the surface, it is instant financial trading, mobile phones, McDonald's, Starbucks, holidays booked on the net. Beneath this gloss, it is the globalisation of poverty, a world where most human beings never make a phone call and live on less than two dollars a day, where 6,000 children die every day from diarrhea because most have no access to clean water.
