    Thanks Goode

    I would possibly add this one too. Aaron Russo's documentary is a succinct summation of the world we live in. Not just America.

    Sorry , another which left an indelible impression was The Tank Man

    Tank Man, or the Unknown Rebel, is the nickname of an anonymous man who stood in front of a column of Chinese Type 59 tanks the morning after the Chinese military forcibly removed protesters from in and around Beijing's Tiananmen Square on June 5, 1989. The man achieved widespread international recognition due to the videotape and photographs taken of the incident.


    I cannot find a full length version in Goo-choob. Here is part 1 - 4

    The Light Bulb Conspiracy - The Untold Story of Planned Obsolescence



    The Light Bulb Conspiracy combines investigative research and rare archive footage to trace the untold story of Planned Obsolescence, from its beginnings in the 1920s with a secret cartel, set up expressly to limit the life span of light bulbs, to present-day stories involving cutting edge electronics (such as the iPod) and the growing spirit of resistance amongst ordinary consumers.

    This film travels to France, Germany, Spain and the US to find witnesses of a business practice which has become the basis of the modern economy, and brings back disquieting pictures from Africa where discarded electronics are piling up in huge cemeteries for electronic waste.

    For the full documentary... http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/light-bulb-conspiracy/

    I know it's not a documentary, but it could be: THE PARALLAX VIEW directed by Alan Pakula.

    And if you want to know how the mind of a fascist works: THE CONFORMIST directed by Bertolucci is absolutely brilliant.

    this one lead me to understand humanity a bit more (and why our communication is so difficult)

    Athene's 'Theory of Everything' - A new take on neuroscience in relation to quantum physics
    Quote Earlier this week I was fortunate enough to speak with Chiren Boumaaza, aka Athene, who you may know as the extravagant internet celebrity, and professional gamer.

    If you haven't heard of him, he's a record holder in World of Warcraft and online poker, and plays the main character in a series of videos on a popular youtube channel with well over 340,000 subscribers.

    'Athene' is known for crashing gaming servers, with the aid of his massive army of followers, who just love to be part of the controversy and trouble Athene is so well known for.

    Over the past year, we haven't heard much from him, and it seemed as though he had fallen off the grid. Recently Chiren broke his silence, and announced that his disappearance was due to being very busy, conducting new research in the fields of quantum mechanics, general and special relativity, and neuroscience. He continued to say that this research is culminating in significant new discoveries that will be presented in a documentary named 'Athene's Theory of Everything'. This was definitely an unexpected turn, and caused quite a stir, and some confusion within his fan base.

    While this could seem bizarre and hokey, the explanations Chiren gave about his research during a livestream event sounded solid, and I was intrigued. I wanted to hear more details about what he was working on.

    after watching this video probably 15+ more times since posting this... I will doubly agree with myself.

    This video should be watched by all.

    RESONANCE is a sensational eye opening documentary which reveals the harm we are doing by existing in an ocean of man made wireless frequencies.

    In the mid eighties fewer than 3% of all people in most of the countries were using cell phones, but if you fast forward to today almost 100% of the people are using cell phones.

    By the time they’re 19 or 20 years old, our children will have used the phone for 10 years, and we have no idea what type of risk that’s carrying. Now we live an an ocean of electromagnetic radiation.


    It’s all around us now, invisible, but we know it’s there. Every time you lift up your mobile phone you know it’s there. It is very hard to turn the clock back, in fact it is impossible, but we need to be aware of the adverse health effects so that we can have the choice of taking precautions against the exposures.

    How we could have possibly thought that putting microwaves to our brain was safe. We just don’t fully understand what we’re doing.

    Pax Americana and the Weaponization of Space

    The prospect of Earth being ruled from space is no longer science-fiction. The dream of the original Dr. Strangelove, Wernher von Braun (from Nazi rocket-scientist to NASA director) has survived every US administration since WW2 and is coming to life. Today the technology exists to weaponize space, a massive American industry thrives, and nations are maneuvering for advantage.

    PAX AMERICANA tackles this pivotal moment. Are war machines already orbiting Earth? Can treaties keep space weapons-free? Must the World capitulate to one super-cop on the global beat?

    With startling archival footage and unprecedented access to US Air Force Space Command, this elegant, forceful documentary reveals the state of play through generals, space-policy analysts, politicians, diplomats, peace activists, and hawks.

    As if there weren't enough weapons here on earth, space has become the newest arena for countries around the globe to launch their struggle for supremacy. Denis Delestrac's film Pax Americana and the Weaponization of Space is packed full of some truly startling facts — everything from the "Rods of God" (space weapons that can launch from orbit) to the fact that fifty cents of every American tax dollar goes towards military spending. The astronomical costs of arming and policing the heavens (more than $200 billion) has largely fallen to the US Air Force, but with China and other nations challenging American supremacy, there is the potential for a war to take place right over our heads.

    Comparison of the space race to the sea battles of the 18th and 19th Century are apt, since so many global interests are at stake. As per usual, economics are at the heart of the struggle. Noam Chomsky draws analogies between the US weaponization of space to good old-fashioned colonialism in the tradition of empire. In the name of protecting commercial investment, the US has charged itself with being the arbiter of peace in space. But with the weapons industry replacing almost all other manufacturing in America, is this simply a ruse? Many experts unequivocally state that missile defense is the longest running fraud in the history of US defense. That it, in fact, disguises true American intentions to dominate space as a means of dominating the entire globe. (Getting rid of the anti-ballistic missile treaty was one of the first activities undertaken by the Bush Administration.)

    If a space war were to happen, the effects could prove catastrophic. Since there is no way to clean up debris and space junk, it stays in orbit, circling the globe at some 14,000 miles per hour. At this speed, even a pea-sized piece of debris has the capacity to destroy whatever is in its path. This includes satellites that regulate most of the world's information systems (everything from GPS to banking to media). But with China shooting down one of their own aging satellites, the race shows every sign of heating up. This time, the sky may indeed be falling.

    For me, ..........

    I liked, From Freedom to Fascism, The Secret of OZ, Loose Change, and Everything is a Rich Mans Trick , the last one was excellent!

    The Secret Side of History, Mystery Babylon and the New World Order, by Dee Zahner....the audio made the book come alive. It's a rare find like a Myron C. Fagan recording of the UN one world gov't or Red Stars over Hollywood, if any of you are old enuf to recall those.

    In my opinion, the end of this earth age, is not far off.

    Divide and conquer is real...

    Lose the name dot com

    Look into the Birth Certificate name

    Lastly, people talk talk talk talk about the deMOCKcracy...why? they forgot were were founded as a Republic! I guess they don't want to think about it. Progressive is code for communist.

    Sorry I'm just ranting here, hopefully some of it will make sense to who reads it.

    The U.S. is an illusion, it takes a lot to see thru the smoke and mirrors, the dog n pony show we get. the Breads and Circuses...the gov't has not returned from Congresses last session, ended Sine Die in the mid 1800's...a corporation is not a gov't, we've been seriously hoodwinked.

    These are some of the clues I've noticed...please feel free to disagree or to add your own insights/comments.

    Oh well, it just wasn't his power alone. There were masters (in spirit) involved.

    Qi-gong and acupuncture have a lot in common, but today's acupuncture practitioners don't even care about the qi energy. They connect the inserted needles to electric machines and hope and pretend that the electric pulse does something.

    I personally find such patients who had electric treatments in the past harder to heal, because the 邪気 or evil energy is gone deeper into the body, rather than being released.
