Politics
Including Foreign Policy
*****
The Shock Doctrine—The Harm of Capitalism, 79 min. 20,000 views, 2012;
based on Naomi Klein’s book by that name.
It is about how unregulated capitalism uses adversity (shock) to
dismantle government regulations and privatizing public services. Neoliberal
US government is preparing for an
economic crash through what Klein calls the Pinochet (fascist) solution suppress
subsequent civil unrest. The US builds
FEMA camps, funds corporate mercenary military, NSA spying, etc. It is also

*****The
Untold History of the US—Bush and Obama Age of Terror, 59 min, 536,000, views,

state. A quality documentary full of
facts such as that the US has a military presence in 151 of 192 UN member
nations and nearly 1,000 foreign bases and has a $1.2 trillion budget. Uses
news videos to do the talking with narration https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_0S80jMeg0 Excellent
Evan
Solomon Interviews Noam Chomsky on His Book 9/11, 41 min,
21,000 views, Canadian Broadcast Corporations, done around 2002. Chomsky discusses two themes: U.S. as
a terrorist state and manufacturing consent.

good

minutes, 32,000 views, Prof. Noam Chomsky,
covering Chomsky’s talks over 4 decades with supporting interviews and
historical background footage, such as on the massacre in East Timor. Shows
how the press by lies and selective

Banking, Globalization,
and its organizations
*****Banks
and the Fed 4 minutes, 51
views (Nov 2016) Prof Richard Wolf, exposes fake Congressional fixes which
banking end runs,, the system won’t fix itself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-sqEWO5_Rk Excellent
***** The
Money Masters 217 min, seen by 10s of millions, 1995, Bill Stills, a
Libertarian account of the banking system.
I have spent hours confirming the suspect points of the film. It was
carried on independent PBS station in
2002 and in 2008. Strong on history and
education, it shows how the financial system functions to maximize profits,
while pretending to provide essential services, and in so doing controls the
economy. The federal banks have the power
to crash an economy through controlling the demand for federal debt obligations
(mostly T-bills), this entails that they are above control. The solution is
to go from a debt based
currency (debt to national banks and member banks) to a fiat currency issued
by government and free of interest payments. Currently over $800 billion per
year is paid
on interest by the US government, plus a similar amount by states and local
governments, and again by businesses and citizens. Over 40% of GDP consists of
the financial sector. The film covers the consequences. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDtBSiI13fE Notes on film at http://www.skeptically.org/bhe/id3.html.

documentary builds upon The Money
Masters, presenting more on the Rothschild and the bond market is the
private banks such as the Bank of England have organized as to be draining the
world economy, and this documentary sheds light upon a power that is above
government. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WfqdcnjvlA Delightful
*****
International Monetary System – New Economic Slavery,
51 min, 119,000 views, on how
banks make money out of buying treasury bonds, to which they loan our government
(as does all central banks) money (credit) to which they receive interest
payment. Deposits are leveraged to
create more loans at a ratio of 10 to 1.
This expansion of currency allows for a casino economy with rampant
speculative investments. Expansion of
currency also entails inflation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogqZ6pnWM7o Very good
Glenn
Beck Exposes the Private Fed; Gets Fired by Fox, Glenn Beck show 40
min, 2,210,000 views, he talks

In
Debt We Trust Documentary
58 min, 90.000 views, on the predatory banking system which locks people into
huge interest payments, human interest, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cltc4Og6HKo good
Money
as Debt, 42 min, 499,000 views, clearly explains the way money is
created out of fractional deposit system in which the banks typically have 10%
assets to issue a line of credit over 10 fold the amount deposited. Though in
cartoon form, it clearly explains
the process starting with the money changers in Roman times. Underscores the
need for fiat money backed by
the government with no debt payments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqvKjsIxT_8 very
good
North
Dakota People’s Bank, 7 min, 433 views, Prof. Richard Wolf,

have, recommend that we go to this website to learn http://www.publicbankinginstitute.org/ on the

copper rich is one of the 20 poorest countries.
Show how multinational copper companies avoid paying taxes to
Zambia. It is a well done, entertaining investigative
reporting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNYemuiAOfU Excellent
Palestine
is Still the Issue, 53 min, 12,800 views; John
Pilger, 2002, British Documentary maker shown on BBC. Reveals what the European
audiences
knows: that Israel is a terrorist state
and arm of US policy, but American media portrays freedom fighters as terrorist;
but who has invaded Palestine? Israel’s
atrocities and plan for expulsion of Palestinians are known to everywhere but
in the US—repeated UN resolutions vetoed by the US confirm this. It is
an effective, balanced, insightful
denial of our media’s script on Israel.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnc6Kt-7vjc&index=3&list=PLkNybwM2FPClkBZPvM9L-14HBdPeIiq-5 Excellent
***** Silence of the Labs 45 min,
15,000 views, CBC; Canadian
government’s war on science in the public’s interest. What is true about Canadian
government policy is even more-true for the US government and EU countries. The
science behind drug safety, effects of
pollution, nutrition and all else that that effects corporations is being
replaced by corporate tobacco science.
Government funded science has been manipulated in our corporatist state,
as too the regulatory agencies such as the FDA.
When scientists write of conclusion contrary to tobacco science, listen
and learn; because GMOs aren’t proven safe, and cholesterol does cause heart
attacks. A must see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms45N_mc50Y Excellent
§
Utopia
(The Secret Country) 110 min, 5,000 views John Pilgerr. A black chapter in the history of Australian
comparable to South Africa’s apartheid history.
Last half is on how, once uranium was discovered, the mining
corporations used their power to obtain mineral rights from the aborigines https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHZRuJq1AKU
The
War on Democracy 96 min,, 215,000 views, John
Pliger, 2007. On the US empire: the
reality denying the fantasy; about the
South American pro-US governments. Extensive footage on Chavez populism in Venezuela
and Pinochet’s Chile for comparison https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeHzc1h8k7o very good
Who’s Spends Britain’s
Billions 58, min, 40,000 views, on
management consulting companies, what they charge local governments, then out-sourcing
service and how things get worse than better, and costs go up. A model for what
happens in the US with the
neoliberal makeover over government in our corporatist state. There is a
conflict between profit and service. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00UFYU_Gr7w Very Good
[1]
Given the quality of the production corporate movie theaters and media outlets
are not to show documentaries which are contrary to US talking points or are
critical. Such muckraking has a limited
market, and this affects their budget.
