In Memoriam: George Carlin
|
|
George Carlin, whose routine "Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television" led to a key Supreme Court ruling on obscenity, died June 22nd 2008 in Santa Monica, CA at the age of 71.
George Carlin was so much more than a stand-up comic. He was a subversive public figure who sought out controversy in order to bring to light issues of free speech, political corruption, and the dangers of consumerism. Carlin used humor and vulgarity to try and wake people up to the hypocrisies around them, reminding his audiences that "it's called the 'American Dream,' because you have to be asleep to believe it." He will be missed.

Free Bees - 9/11's a Lie (Stayin' Alive)
|
|
This video won't stay up long, enjoy it while it lasts...The 'Free Bees' are looking for help in spreading their '9/11's a lie' music video and song far and wide. Reluctantly they have decided that even though they're extremely proud of the work, they are releasing it anonymously. They believe that this music video has the potential to reach a large audience and as a work of infotainment is amusing, informative and thought provoking.

Able Danger 9/11 cover-up
|
|
This is a short clip about the events surrounding the Able Danger investigation and the successful efforts of the US military's Special Operations Command (SOCOM) to bury information that could have prevented 9/11 from happening. Later, the 9/11 Commission does not include these findings in its report, and the corporate media never gives any substantial coverage to the story. This, even despite Republican Congressman Curt Weldon exposing this cover-up on the floor of the House of Representatives.

No End in Sight (2007)
|
|
"Chronological look at the fiasco in Iraq, especially decisions made in the spring of 2003 - and the backgrounds of those making decisions - immediately following the overthrow of Saddam: no occupation plan, an inadequate team to run the country, insufficient troops to keep order, and three edicts from the White House announced by Bremmer when he took over: no provisional Iraqi government, de-Ba'athification, and disbanding the Iraqi armed services. The film has chapters (from History to Consequences), and the talking heads are reporters, academics, soldiers, military brass, and former Bush-administration officials" -imdb.com
