The U.S. vs. John Lennon (2006)

Required Viewing for all Entertainers!

[9/10 · 9 October 2006]

What a coincidence that on this, Lennon's birthday Oct 9, this movie seeks to rebirth the peace movement he helped to thrust into the public conscience. While the mainstream media continually played John Lennon as a sidelined superstar- a once great entertainer turned hippie wacko, the real John Lennon became enlightened to the truth. He began speaking truth to power and aligned himself with the leading voices of reform and radical change to the corruption of day. He realized his iconic star-power could be the greatest venue to create social change without complete anarchy... and so did the Nixon administration (including the young Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfelt) only they didn't want a change. Just like today only they've become much more insidious.

We need more Lennon-like leaders from the entertainment business. Speak truth to power... its not all about the brass ring and the benjamins. If everyone stands up they can't character assassinate us all! Thank you John and Yoko!

Beyond Treason (2005 Video)

You Can't Handle The Truth!

[10/10 · 21 February 2006]

If 1/10th of what is revealed in this documentary is true.... we all gotta become Tom Cruise's character Lt Kaffee as he riddles the Col Jessep (Jack Nicholson) on the witness stand. The truths exposed span the last sixty years... starting with the events following WWII leading to the birth of the Military Industrial Complex— the melding of big business, military and government... President Eisenhower warned of the dangers in his farewell address from office. Rokker and the unclassified documents prove his warning.

The information about the DOD's complicity and knowledge of chemical biological weapons bunkers in Iraq during the 1992 invasion is beyond belief. The interviews of Rokker about the Depleated Uranium ammunition the military is using and it's 4.6 million year radioactive half- life causing horrific deformities to civilians as well as our military personnel... is beyond treason. If you leave this film without rethinking our policy of military supremacy, you weren't watching.

Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media (1992)

This is Must-See Media for the masses

[10/10 · 21 February 2006]

This is one of the five best educational tools not in use in the United States. A film so deep and full of non-stop, reality-busting evidence that —what you see ISN'T what you get in America.

Chomsky is arguably the most intelligent political observer on Earth today. Its easy to be the Plunderer and commit the atrocities... its far more difficult to uncover the plots, organize the facts, and be vigilant of the actions. This is Must-See Media for the masses!

Americans are too busy to begin think outside the box. This is 2h46m of intensive training in true democratic responsibility. Chomsky may favor the social structure of an early 20th century Kibbutz, but certainly his lessons of observation would stand well for any social structure. If you are not bought and owned by the system... you owe it to your children or your immortal soul...or karmic rebirth, to wake up and smell the fascism.

The Future of Food (2004)

Should be Mandatory Viewing

[10/10 · 7 January 2006]

This is arguably one of the best examples of a film that has the ability to simplify a very complicated subject tat I have seen since The Corporation. Debora Koons Garcia has strung together the most cohesive and informative series of interviews, historic footage, biographies and science animations that culminate in a clear comprehensive message about our food and what is being done with it. It should be built-in to every television sold today... its that good!

The film describes in detail the history of agriculture and then focuses on the problems associated with industrial agriculture and the introduction of Agri-Business in the 20th Century. It reveals the unethical business practices that have resulted from Argri-Corporations need to make profit regardless of their effects on humanity. Agribusiness; like it or hate it, you will learn information you didn't know from this film.
