Below are three episodes from the BBC program TimeWatch.  According to Internet Movie Database, TimeWatch began in 1982 and still appears to be airing as of 2009.

According to the subscriber who posted the first episode on Google Video:

This series is about a far-right secret army, operated by the CIA and MI6 through NATO, which killed hundreds of innocent Europeans and attempted to blame the deaths on Baader Meinhof, Red Brigades and other left wing groups. Known as ’stay-behinds’ these armies were given access to military equipment which was supposed to be used for sabotage after a Soviet invasion.   Instead it was used in massacres across mainland Europe as part of a CIA Strategy of Tension.   Gladio killing sprees in Belgium (Belgique) and Italy (Italia) were carried out for the purpose of frightening the national political classes into adopting U.S. policies. This is essential to understanding the networks that carry out false flag terrorism and the roots behind 9/11.

A quote from the below video:

“Deception is a state of mind and the mind of the State”

– James Jesus Angleton, Head of CIA Counter Intelligence 1954-1974

Third of three programmes exploring th influence of `Gladio’ a terrorist network organisation operating in Europe.   This programme examines the kidnapping and subsequent of murder of Aldo Moro. This is essential to understanding the networks that carry out false flag terrorism and the roots behind 9/11. These documentaries were originally aired on BBC2 in 1992.

Mr. Newman asserts World War I was actually caused by Brittan’s desire to invade Iraq for oil. Mr. Newman states this is why the Orient express was actually constructed.  WWI was sold to the world and the citizens of the of the United States by the U.S. Committee on Public Information, which Edward Bernays was a member of.  This is essentially where Edward Bernays began to understand the true power of propaganda.

In this film Robert Newman examines the history of the conquest for oil.

Mr. Newman points out the UK and US press have not bothered to cover the 14 permanent military bases being constructed by the US in Iraq.

Mr. Newman examines the 1953 Coup against Iran launched by Brittan and the U.S. which is covered in more depth in the Bill Moyers PBS documentary Secret Government:Constitution In Crisis.

Mr. Newman hypothesizes on a few reasons why the US may have invaded Iraq. One is oil, but the other is Iraq switching to Euro s over Dollars. This caused banks to flush out dollars and accelerated the Inflation Tax.

Robert Newman’s video History of Oil can be purchased from his web site RobertNewman.com/shop.html, but the video appears to only be available in PAL. The UK video standard is PAL. The US standard is NTSC.

No, you can’t obtain a “certificate of live birth” anymore.

The state Department of Health no longer issues copies of paper birth certificates as was done in the past, said spokeswoman Janice Okubo.

The department only issues “certifications” of live births, and that is the “official birth certificate” issued by the state of Hawaii, she said.

And, it’s only available in electronic form.

For this reason it is silly to carry on about this, but it is a useful diversion to distract from what the government is really up to.  It’s silly for Lou Dobbs to carry on about it, but it’s just as silly for Media Matters to send out 24 email on the subject.

Media Matters then used the subject to discredit everything Lou Dobbs has reported:

How can we forget his preoccupation with conspiracy theories about purported government plans for a “North American Union” between the U.S., Mexico, and Canada? Or his promotion of the nutty conspiracy that Mexicans plan to reconquer the American Southwest?

People should keep in mind it was Democrat Marcy Kaptur who blew the whistle on George W. Bush’s North American Union otherwise known as the SPP.  This is an expansion of Clinton’s NAFTA.

An actual Progressive organization called GlobalExchange.org put out a publication called The Right to Stay Home.  The book examines how US foreign policy, and agencies the US contributes to like the IMF and World Bank have devastated Mexico.  On page 12 they state:

It is the legal, or more accurately the “constitutional,” framework within which the continental political class is busy filling in more deals and agreements away from public scrutiny.  The Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) had two stated objectives.  One was to integrate the military and policy functions in the “War on Terror.”  The second was to further the neoliberal agenda with policies that would promote more continental deregulation and the privatization of natural resources, including Mexican oil and Canadian water.

So why would Media Matters want to divert people’s attention from the health care debate, and discredit information provided by a Democrat?  Media Matters claims to be Progressive, but watching how they filter news, they appear to be neoliberal.

A real Progressive news site CommonDreams.org re-posted an article from the New York Times on Media Matters in 2004:

WASHINGTON:  David Brock, the former right-wing journalist turned liberal, describes himself as once having been a rather large cog in the machinery of the conservative media.

Now Mr. Brock is starting a new endeavor built to combat the very sector of journalism that spawned him, with support from the same sorts of people (Democrats) about whom he once wrote so critically.

David Brock, in the research room of his K Street office in Washington, is starting a Web site to monitor the conservative media. (NYT Photo/Carol T. Powers)
With more than $2 million in donations from wealthy liberals, Mr. Brock will start a new Internet site this week that he says will monitor the conservative media and correct erroneous assertions in real time.

Mr. Brock’s project was developed with help from the newly formed Center for American Progress, the policy group headed by John D. Podesta, the former Clinton chief of staff. And Mr. Brock said he hoped it could help provide fodder for fledgling liberal radio talk shows being started across the country, including those of the comedians Al Franken and Janeane Garofalo.

For Mr. Brock, 41, the project is yet another considerable step in his public evolution from conservative muckraker to liberal activist. That evolution began after Mr. Brock began publicly apologizing in the late 1990’s for reporting that brutally criticized Anita F. Hill and a report that Arkansas state troopers had helped Bill Clinton procure paramours when he was the governor of Arkansas, the veracity of which he is no longer sure.

Mr. Brock has also said that he knowingly lied in an article he wrote for The American Spectator in 1992 that raised doubts about the credibility of Ms. Hill. The article formed the basis for a later book about Ms. Hill, whose charges of harassment almost derailed Clarence Thomas’s appointment to the Supreme Court.

Can we truly believe Mr. Brock is a reformed man?  Perhaps Mr. Brock found it easier to defend corporate interests from the other side.

The House recently passed the health care overhaul bill H.R. 3962 that is such a giveaway to health insurance companies, Dennis Kucinich would not vote for it.  Kucinich stated:

“But instead of working toward the elimination of for-profit insurance, H.R. 3962 would put the government in the role of accelerating the privatization of health care.  In H.R. 3962, the government is requiring at least 21 million Americans to buy private health insurance from the very industry that causes costs to be so high, which will result in at least $70 billion in new annual revenue, much of which is coming from taxpayers.  This inevitably will lead to even more costs, more subsidies, and higher profits for insurance companies — a bailout under a blue cross.

Michael Kieschnick President of CREDO Mobile: How the Blue Dogs Raised My Insurance Premium by 14%

Pelosi only put up for a vote legislation that simply called for negotiated rates.

Negotiated is code word for higher. Much higher.

So all across the country, insurance companies are raising their rates now. If they are going to negotiate, why not negotiate from a higher base?

Media Matters combats this problem with a well established propaganda technique.  They didn’t deny the truth about the bill, they simply left out information they don’t want people to know and try to diverted people’s attention to something else.

Media Matters reported:

Fact: CBO estimated health bill would reduce federal budget deficit $109 billion through 2019

CBOfound that the health care reform bill that passed the House on November 7, the Affordable Health Care for America Act (H.R. 3962), “would yield a net reduction in federal budget deficits of $109 billion over the 2010-2019 period.” CBO also found that in the decade after 2019, “the legislation would slightly reduce federal budget deficits … relative to those projected under current law-with a total effect during that decade that is in a broad range between zero and one-quarter percent of GDP [gross domestic product].”

It’s not hard to see how the bill would save that much money, if it is requiring tax payers buy a corporate insurance policy.  The health insurance companies are going to get $70 billion in new revenue.  The Congressional Budget Office is happy because the money won’t come out of the Congressional Budget.  Congress can claim taxes will not go up because people will have to buy the policies directly.

In this broadcast William Cooper critiques an Alex Jones broadcast that was sent to him by a listener.  Cooper believed Alex Jones was trying to terrorize his listers into a state of hysteria, which could have enabled the government to declare martial law.

Cooper goes through Alex Jones show point by point disclosing what Alex Jones reported that was not true.

The Hour of Our Time – The Legacy of William Cooper

William cooper did have some rather strange ideas of his own.  Some have said he was just as far out there as Alex Jones.  That I will leave people to judge for themselves.  If the below documentary is correct, William Coopers 911 predition is quite impressive.

William (Bill) Cooper was a former naval officer, decorated veteran, short wave radio broadcaster and world renowned lecturer and author, he was shot and killed November 5th 2001 under suspicious circumstances. This is his story.

Diane Feinstein (Democrat) and Orren Hatch (Republican) worked together (and probably still are) to give the telecommunication companies retroactive immunity against lawsuits for warrantless wiretaps. NPR did a story on this issue, but there was something I found odd. I started hearing, “This program was sponsored by AT&T” and then the coverage dropped off.

As they mention in the documentary Joseph Goebbels said “What you want in a media system” and he meant the Nazi media system “is ostensible diversity that conceals an actual uniformity.”

For a documentary that gives a more in depth and balanced perspective watch The Century of Self

Orwell Rolls in his Grave provides the following information and then some:

According to the nonpartisan congressional Budget Office: between 1979 and 1997, income for families in the middle rose 9% from $41,000 to $45,100, while income for families in the top 1% rose from $420,000 to $1,016,000 — a 140% increase.

Why has the response to a rise inequality been a drive to reduce taxes on the rich? [That's a good question--see Matthew 19:16-26]

A CNN/Gallop Poll conducted March 2003, found that 61% of the American people thought Saddam Hussein as personally responsible for the September 11th attack. Out of the 911 hijackers 15 of the 19 where from Saudi Arabia; the others were from Egypt and Kuwait [all us allies]. How did the American people get such a distorted view of who was behind the attack of 911?

Five months before the 2000 Election Governor Jeb Bush moved to purge 57,000 people from the voting rolls, supposedly ex-felons. Florida’s Secretary of State, Katherine Harris, was Bush’s campaign manager. The Governor is his brother.

CBS News killed the story on the basis of a denial by Governor Jeb Bush, who was the TARGET of the allegations.

From George Orwell’s “Animal Farm”
… and the sheep bleated
“4 legs GOOD, 2 legs BAD.”

… and then they bleated
“4 legs GOOD, 2 legs BETTER.”

Bush keeps rallying to get rid of “The Death Tax.” Bernie Sanders points out only 2% of the population is even rich enough to pay estate tax, yet the American people have been duped into thinking there is a death tax that’s plaguing people in the US.

Michael Powell (son of Colin Powell) was head of the FCC. Michael Powell said free Air time for candidates is:

“… unconstitutional and an infringement on the broadcaster’s free speech rights”

“.. have no idea what the public interest is.”

“The oppressor here is regulation.”

You may have guessed Michael Powell got rid of equal air time for Presidential candidates, but who would tell you that?

Does this explain why the Obama Administration, just like the Bush Administration, will only allow preselected questions?

Helen Thomas had previously stated the Bush Administration started filtering all questions.  Only the questions the President’s staff wanted to answer were allowed through, and that allowed the replies to be prepared in advance.  The President would then only call on the people who’s questions he wanted to answer.

Helen Thomas being an unbiased reporter is expressing her outrage because the Obama Administration is carrying on this Bush policy like many others policies.

If you pay attention during Obama’s press conferences, you will notice Obama is doing exactly what Robert Gibbs is attempting to do, only in this case Helen Thomas and Chip Reid are calling out Robert Gibbs on manipulating the press.”

John Pilger’s documentary The War on Democracy is a fascinating film that looks at U.S. foreign policy in Latin America. This is important to keep in mind when it comes to the U.S. bringing democracy to Iraq.

John Pilger’s The War On Democracy examines:

• Torture techniques used in Latin American Coups taught at the School of the Americas.
• 2002 coup against Hugo Chavez backed by rich and powerful interests under U.S. support, but Chavez was brought back to power by hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan people marching in their streets demanding his return.
• The 1973 coup that took out democratically elected Salvador Allende and put Augusto Pinochet into power. Milton Friedman’s economic techniques were used to establish an economy with a great disparity between the rich and the poor. This can be verified by viewing a chart of the Gini Coefficient (a.k.a Gini Index).
• Victor Jara was murdered by the Pinochet coup.
• Former CIA agent and Watergate scandal conspirator Howard Hunt, and Duane Clarridge, former head of CIA operations in South America.
• Dianna Ortiz is a U.SRoman Catholic nun of the Ursuline order. She is a native of the state of New Mexico in the United States. While serving as a missionary in Guatemala in 1989, she was abducted by right-wing forces and brutally tortured. Among other torments she was gang-raped and suffered over 100 cigarette burns
• The 1954 coup in Guatemala to over throw Jacobo Arbenz Guzman. Arbenz nationalized the land in the country and gave it to the poor. Much of the land was held by the United Fruit Company (now known as Chiquita Brands.
• On the brighter side — over the last five years Bolivia has been able to refuse multinational companies access their country’s natural reserves of gas, and water rights. Prior to Bolivia’s activist movement their natural resources where asset stripped by multinational interests

Talk radio hosts like Glenn Back have been promoting the idea liberals are fascists.

I would like to pose the question, “what is an actual fascist?”

Author Milton Mayer wrote They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933-45 where he defined 14 points that define fascism:

1. Powerful and continuing expressions of nationalism
2. Disdain for the importance of human rights
3. Identification of enemies/scapegoats as a unifying cause
4. The supremacy of the military/avid militarism
5. Rampant sexism
6. A controlled mass media
7. Obsession with national security
8. Religion and ruling elite tied together
9. Power of corporations protected
10. Power of labor suppressed or eliminated
11. Disdain and suppression of intellectuals and the arts
12. Obsession with crime and punishment
13. Rampant cronyism and corruption
14. Fraudulent Elections

Which of the above points identifies liberals?

Check Baldwin quoted former Nazi Martin Niemöller (14 January 1892 – 6 March 1984):

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn’t a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.

Which of the above points identifies liberals? Why was Hitler rounding up Social Democrats?

Hitler rounded up people who were gay. Don’t we all know liberals are friends with gay people? This clip from the documentary The Corporation shows “Homosexual” and “Communist” were listed on the punch cards used to track people on their way to concentration camps. Those punch cards were provided by IBM.

In the below video Bill Moyers Journal examines hate speech on the airwaves that pushed one unemployed man to the breaking point. The man blamed Democrats for being unemployed and “destroying the country.” Since he couldn’t shoot a Democrat in power, he said he wanted to shoot one of the people who elect them.

Bill Moyers Journal points out talk radio aided in the genocide that took place in Rwanda. Hutu radio hosts called Tootsies “cockroaches.” People were dehumanized until it was “okay to kill them.” “They were just cockroaches.” “They were evil.” They didn’t deserve to live.

Bill Moyers neglects to mention similar behavior took place in Nazi Germany in order to psych the German people out enough to kill.

Former CIA consultant Chalmers Johnson has stated the US will collapse under the weight of the military industrial complex.  He has also stated an economic collapse is how both Mao and Hitler came to power.  If Mr. Johnson is correct, who in the United States has all the guns?  Who is armed to the teeth and who is not?

In Bill Moyers’s video he points out talk radio hosts are telling people the New York Times is a liberal publication. As former Reagan economist Paul Craig Roberts pointed out the New York Times assisted the Bush administration in convincing U.S. citizens an invasion of Iraq was necessary:

The American print and TV media have never been very good. These days they are horrible. If people intend to be informed, they must turn to foreign news broadcasts, to Internet sites, to foreign newspapers available on the Internet, or to alternative newspapers that are springing up in various cities. A person who sits in front of Murdoch’s Fox “News” or CNN or who reads the New York Times is simply being brainwashed with propaganda.

Before conservatives nod their heads in agreement, I’m not referring to “the liberal media.” I mean the propaganda that issues from the US government and the Israel Lobby.

It was neoconservative Bush regime propaganda fed to America through Judith Miller and the New York Times and through Murdoch’s Fox “News” that convinced Americans that they were in danger from a small secular Arab country half way around the globe called Iraq. It was the American media that convinced Americans that getting rid of dangerous “weapons of mass destruction,” weapons that did not exist in Iraq, would be a cakewalk paid for by Iraqi oil revenues.

It is the same propagandistic American print and TV media that have rationalized Bush’s illegal invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan based on seven years of lies and deception.

It is Corporate America who supports talk radio. Here are a couple of example of how they benefit.

Food, Inc points out the food industry started running ads in Mexico to recruit poor workers after NAFTA flooded Mexico with low cost corn. NAFTA put 1.3 million Mexican farmers out of business. Does Corporate America want you to hold them accountable, or is it better to pit people against each other?

Paul Craig Roberts (again a former Reagan economist) wrote an article titled Doomed by the Myths of Free Trade – How the Economy was Lost, which basically identifies how corporate America has outsourced the country. Corporate America is going to be a lot better off if people are pitted against each other over job and wage loss rather than corporate America.

Can people see why no one has given Paul Craig Roberts his own radio talk show. The Baltimore Chronicle describes Roberts as “The Father of Reaganomics.” I’m sure people would love to hear what Paul Craig Roberts has to say, and he would attract a large listening audience. This isn’t about ratings its about people listening to what they are supposed to be listening to.

One of the 10 tipping points Naomi Wolf mentions is being able to cut communications.  That’s just the kind of power the government is now aiming for with the Cybersecurity Act of 2009.

Once again the mainstream media including NPR have remained chillingly silent over this bill.  How can people fight against the passage of this bill, if they don’t know it exists.  Perhaps that is the point.

I would like to thank WordArc for a mention in relation to this bill: “OBAMA WOULD BE ABLE TO TURN OFF THE INTERNET?“

CDT.org: Cybersecurity Bill Proposes Unprecedented Government Power Over the Internet

A cybersecurity bill introduced today in the Senate would give the federal government extraordinary power over private sector Internet services, applications and software. The Cybersecurity Act of 2009 would, for example, give the President unfettered power to shut down Internet traffic in emergencies or disconnect any critical infrastructure system or network on national security grounds. The bill would grant the Commerce Department the ability to override all privacy laws to access any information about Internet usage in connection with a new role in tracking cybersecurity threats. The bill, introduced by Sens. John Rockefeller and Olympia Snowe, would also give the government unprecedented control over computer software and Internet services, threatening innovation, freedom and privacy. CDT President and CEO Leslie Harris said, “The cybersecurity threat is real, but such a drastic federal intervention in private communications technology and networks could harm both security and privacy.” April 01, 2009

eWeek.com: Bill Would Grant President Unprecedented Cyber-security Powers

The Cybersecurity Act of 2009 introduced in the Senate would allow the president to shut down private Internet networks. The legislation also calls for the government to have the authority to demand security data from private networks without regard to any provision of law, regulation, rule or policy restricting such access.

NetworkWorld.com: Bill would give Obama power to shut down Internet, networks during cyber attacks

Federal legislation introduced in the Senate this week would give President Obama the power to declare a cybersecurity emergency and then shut down both public and private networks including Internet traffic coming to and from compromised systems.

The proposed legislation, introduced April 1, also would give the President the power to “order the disconnection of any Federal government or United States critical infrastructure information systems or networks in the interest of national security.”

Some critics of the bill say that phrase needs to be more clearly defined.

cnet.com: A bill to shift cybersecurity to White House

Forthcoming legislation would wrest cybersecurity responsibilities from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and transfer them to the White House, a proposed move that likely will draw objections from industry groups and some conservatives.

CNET News has obtained a summary of a proposal from Senators Jay Rockefeller (D-W.V.) and Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) that would create an Office of the National Cybersecurity Advisor, part of the Executive Office of the President. That office would receive the power to disconnect, if it believes they’re at risk of a cyberattack, “critical” computer networks from the Internet.

John Pilger examines the effects of globalization and turns the spotlight on Indonesia. Indonesia is a country described by the World Bank as a model pupil until its globalized economy collapsed in 1998.

Similar information is covered in John Perkins‘ book Confessions of an Economic Hit Man John Perkins examines how the World Bank’s has aided international corporations in devastating the poor of developing countries, and so does John Pilger.

This film examines the use of sweatshop factories on behalf of famous brand names like Nike.
Who are the real beneficiaries of the globalized economy? Who really rules the world now? Is it governments or a handful of huge companies? The Ford Motor Company alone is bigger than the economy of South Africa. Enormously rich men, like Bill Gates, have a wealth greater than all of Africa.

John Pilger takes a look at the World Trade Organization (WTO), who is operating like a quasi independent world government. A government looking out for global corporate interests–not individual people.
At the end of this film John Pilger calls for the end of the IMF, WTO, and World Bank. He suggests they should be replaced by democratically accountable organizations. John Pilger then quotes a document from the United States Space Command. The document states:

The globalization of the world economy will continue. With a widening of haves and have nots, only military dominance will protect America’s commercial interests.

“Why should we except this? Why should our children have to face these divisions and dangers. None of them are God given. All of them can be changed.”

This film can be purchase in the U.S. through Bullfrog Films for personal viewing for $29.95, but Bullfrog Films also offers a $39 version The $39 price includes a public viewing license so you can show the film in public. The one stipulation is you can not charge admission. Local Film Societies are a great screening option as well as local libraries. Good promotion options are local radio, handing out flyers, and public service announcements in local papers.

No I do not make any money, if you buy this film.
