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.

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
