He meets an old friend,  fifteen-year-old street kid Laurentiu, who tells him he’s been selling  sex to foreign pedophiles since he was twelve, and that a wealthy German  has bought him a passport so that he can be trafficked to the West.  Laurentiu introduces Liviu to his gang of street kids, some as young as  eleven, being preyed on by the pedophiles.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Liviu  follows up stories of kids trafficked to Italy, and on the streets of  Milan films a fourteen year old boy being pimped by his own father. Over  weeks of investigation, several more cases of families selling their  own children for sex are documented.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Back in  Romania, he hears about an English pedophile/trafficker called Tom.  Co-producer/director Andrew Smith infiltrates Tom’s pimping network, and  films damning evidence of how underage boys are preyed upon and  trafficked to wealthy pedophile clients in the West.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Full Film (1:04:40):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" id="VideoPlayback" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid=1437325509795283616&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=true" style="height: 326px;

It's a 15 minute news piece that traces the protest tactics of the Arab Spring back to Serbia and a group called &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otpor"&gt;Optor!&lt;/a&gt;, as well as another group called &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centre_for_Applied_Non_Violent_Actions_and_Strategies"&gt;CANVAS&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otpor#Sr.C4.91a_Popovi.C4.87_and_Ivan_Marovi.C4.87"&gt;Srdja Popovic&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Engdahl#Arab_Spring.2C_.22The_Greater_Middle_East_Project.22_and_the_US_factor"&gt;a American German freelance journalist&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_Sharp"&gt;Gene Sharp&lt;/a&gt;

clips used it the piece.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of the reporting is a bit sketchy in the Alex Jones style of making assertions without using any documentation to back them up, but the overall picture this bit of news reporting paints illustrates several assertions that John and Adam have been making since Tunisia, Egypt and Syria started making headlines over a year ago.&amp;nbsp; Mainly the shocking revelation (sarcasm) that people can be manipulated by outside forces.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/YrzCDpQcfjU" width="560"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a slightly better quality version from &lt;a href="http://www.archive.org/details/youtube-ows-ProfessionalRevolutionariesOWSNWOmp4-oqAB4ko6_P4"&gt;Archive.org.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brought to you by &lt;a href="http://www.theworldofcinema.com/"&gt;The World of Cinema&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2094207657672959481-1273852328407584308?l=www.noagendafilms.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2094207657672959481/posts/default/1273852328407584308'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2094207657672959481/posts/default/1273852328407584308'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.noagendafilms.com/2012/02/professional-revolutionaries-2012.html' title='Professional Revolutionaries (2012)'/><author><name>The World of Cinema</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06492910994608311980</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dNizgKe7lhY/TJTVbCXb0II/AAAAAAAAAPA/dZgmknJ-6cE/S220/WOC+RSS.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EWAe7J2sFBU/TTxYz3j59vI/AAAAAAAAAQg/pNHcIitOxpI/s72-c/NAfilmspresents.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2094207657672959481.post-925928028247374943</id><published>2012-02-13T13:26:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2012-02-13T13:29:07.643-05:00</updated><title type='text'>NA 382 Film</title><content type='html'>Adam played the audio from a hilarious new German film that is coming out shortly called &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Sky"&gt;Iron Sky&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trailer:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Py_IndUbcxc" width="560"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adam was also talking about a documentary coming out about former president &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_clinton"&gt;Bill Clinton&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;

I've been listening to No Agenda&amp;nbsp;since the beginning and I think I've heard&amp;nbsp;him mentioned on the show, but not in any detail.&amp;nbsp; As a film and as a political activist, Ralph Nadar fits the No Agenda mold - calling out douche bags and liars as he sees them.&amp;nbsp; He definately has no love&amp;nbsp;for the two major politcal parties&amp;nbsp;here in Gitmo Nation (anyone remember the 2000 election?)&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_unreasonable_man"&gt;An Unreasonable Man&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;is something of a standard documentary in form; talking head interviews inter cut with archival footage and/or photographs of the incidents discussed.&amp;nbsp; But, since the filmmakers chose a very public and in some circles controversial figure, it remain engaging and fascinating all the way through.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the synopsis from &lt;a href="http://www.wikipedia.org/"&gt;The Book of Knowledge&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;i&gt;The first half of the film examines Nader's advocacy for auto safety features, such as federally mandated seat belts and air bags, as well as his rise to national prominence following an invasion of privacy lawsuit against General Motors. It also examines the formation of independent advocacy groups (termed "Nader's Raiders") during the 1970s; organizations which carried out independent research on various federal agencies, such as the Federal Trade Commission and the Food and Drug Administration. Over the next thirty years, the film argues, Nader "built a legislative record that would be the envy of any modern president."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;The second half of the film traces Nader's shift to a grassroots form of organizing focused on citizen power, including his disillusionment with the two-party system following the rise of Reaganism. In assessing Nader's effect as a third party candidate, the film examines Nader's role as a spoiler in the 2000 presidential election.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;The film presents interviews with current and former members of Nader's Raiders, including Joan Claybrook and Robert Fellmeth, as well as politicians and political analysts such as Phil Donahue, Pat Buchanan, and Eric Alterman. The film takes its name from the George Bernard Shaw quote, "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.&lt;/i&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to Producer David for this weeks NA Films Monday Movie suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trailer:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/9ycR36N68R8" width="560"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brought to you by &lt;a href="http://www.theworldofcinema.com/"&gt;The World of Cinema&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2094207657672959481-8254826487555804164?l=www.noagendafilms.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2094207657672959481/posts/default/8254826487555804164'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2094207657672959481/posts/default/8254826487555804164'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.noagendafilms.com/2012/02/unreasonalble-man-2006.html' title='An Unreasonalble Man (2006)'/><author><name>The World of Cinema</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06492910994608311980</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dNizgKe7lhY/TJTVbCXb0II/AAAAAAAAAPA/dZgmknJ-6cE/S220/WOC+RSS.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h1nSybUO-Yg/TTxYwhut1jI/AAAAAAAAAQc/1KRtxdD4Ao0/s72-c/NAfilmspresents.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2094207657672959481.post-5379775362266062675</id><published>2012-02-12T19:33:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2012-02-12T19:33:47.932-05:00</updated><title type='text'>NA 381 Film</title><content type='html'>John recommended revisiting &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robocop"&gt;Robocop&lt;/a&gt;

(big, big supporters of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOPA"&gt;SOPA&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PROTECT_IP_Act"&gt;PIPA&lt;/a&gt;).&amp;nbsp; In fact, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Dodd"&gt;Chris Dodd&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(former Senator&amp;nbsp;from Connecticut)&amp;nbsp;is the current head of the MPAA and is raking in over a million dollars a year as salary.&amp;nbsp; Anyway, Dick was criticised for the use of the&amp;nbsp;private detective because the members of the MPAA&amp;nbsp;Ratings Board are notoriously secret&amp;nbsp;and clearly&amp;nbsp;push a conservative, straight and at times quite Christian agenda when rating films.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This documentary mainly deals with the was in which the MPAA directly censor motion pictures via the ratings system.&amp;nbsp; From their web page: &lt;em&gt;The film discusses disparities the filmmaker sees in ratings and feedback: between Hollywood and independent films, between homosexual and heterosexual sexual situations, between male and female sexual depictions, and between violence and sexual content.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://youtu.be/UTL3XMDwY0c"&gt;Trailer&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is in the film and explains how the MPAA rating system "works":&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/dDqxuGlxbWc" width="420"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brought to you by &lt;a href="http://www.theworldofcinema.com/"&gt;The World of Cinema&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2094207657672959481-4173624681262239740?l=www.noagendafilms.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2094207657672959481/posts/default/4173624681262239740'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2094207657672959481/posts/default/4173624681262239740'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.noagendafilms.com/2012/02/this-film-is-not-yet-rated-2006.html' title='This Film is Not Yet Rated (2006)'/><author><name>The World of Cinema</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06492910994608311980</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dNizgKe7lhY/TJTVbCXb0II/AAAAAAAAAPA/dZgmknJ-6cE/S220/WOC+RSS.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h1nSybUO-Yg/TTxYwhut1jI/AAAAAAAAAQc/1KRtxdD4Ao0/s72-c/NAfilmspresents.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2094207657672959481.post-6313051044012806184</id><published>2012-02-05T14:43:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2012-02-05T14:43:47.144-05:00</updated><title type='text'>NA 379 Film</title><content type='html'>Well, Adam and John go for like a dozen episodes without mentioning a film and them start rattling them off like crazy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adam mentioned the "Bin Laden film", which is titled "&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1790885/"&gt;Untitled International Thriller&lt;/a&gt;" on IMDb right now.&amp;nbsp;

"Ring Of Power" puzzles together the pieces of a giant puzzle into one BIG PICTURE documentary series.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Part I: 9/11 THE UNTOLD STORY&lt;/u&gt; (38 min.) Half the world believes Muslims were responsible for 9/11. The other half believes Israeli Zionists were responsible. Who’s right?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Part II: HIDDEN EMPIRE&lt;/u&gt; (22 min.) The world’s most powerful empire is not the U.S.A. It is an empire that insiders call “Empire Of The City”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Part III: TRAIL OF THE PHARAOHS&lt;/u&gt; (25 min.) Did the Biblical Abraham really live to be 175? Did Moses really turn staffs into snakes and rivers into blood?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Part IV: GOD AND THE QUEEN&lt;/u&gt; (30 min.) Genealogy charts show that British and French royalty are descendants of Mary Magdalene and Jesus Christ. Is it true?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Part V: ALL THE QUEEN’S MEN&lt;/u&gt; (22 min.)

They scammed control of the Bank of England and the U.S. Federal Reserve, then they found GOD – Gold, Oil and Drugs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Part VII: CHEATING AT MONOPOLY&lt;/u&gt; (52 min.) How many people would play a game of monopoly if the banker was cheating and fixing the rules? Over 6 billion.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Part VIII: ASSES OF EVIL&lt;/u&gt; (29 min.) The New World Order Mafia are invisible rulers who make puppets out of politicians, heroes out of villains and villains out of heroes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Part IX: KING OF HEARTS&lt;/u&gt; (22 min.) The ultimate goal of “insiders” is to disarm the world and create one world empire under one world ruler. Who is he?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Part X: SOLUTIONS&lt;/u&gt; (28 min.) Protesting and writing letters to deaf politicians doesn’t work. What does work?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;I couldn't find too much on who made this film or where it originated from, but this synopsis was posted on several sites that are hosting the film.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Producer is an experienced, award winning documentary filmmaker who, as a child, learned that her father was a member of the secretive cult of Freemasonry. She recalls many arguments between her parents over her father's secret meetings and the exclusion of women from the brotherhood. The Masonic ring that her father wore had been passed down from father to son over the generations. When she asked her father about the meaning of the letter "G" and the compass and square on his ring, she got no response. As an adult, she decided to investigate. That investigation grew into four years of intensive research into the identity and history of the diabolical globalists who she calls the "Ring Of Power". Their goal is one World Empire and one world ruler.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ring of Power - Empire of the City (5:00:22):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/hMUydkg7eI8" width="420"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brought to you by &lt;a href="http://www.theworldofcinema.com/"&gt;The World of Cinema&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2094207657672959481-8968435141869144757?l=www.noagendafilms.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2094207657672959481/posts/default/8968435141869144757'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2094207657672959481/posts/default/8968435141869144757'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.noagendafilms.com/2012/01/ring-of-power-empire-of-city.html' title='Ring of Power - Empire of the City'/><author><name>The World of Cinema</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06492910994608311980</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dNizgKe7lhY/TJTVbCXb0II/AAAAAAAAAPA/dZgmknJ-6cE/S220/WOC+RSS.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EWAe7J2sFBU/TTxYz3j59vI/AAAAAAAAAQg/pNHcIitOxpI/s72-c/NAfilmspresents.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2094207657672959481.post-6065519497158210566</id><published>2012-01-23T08:00:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-23T13:30:38.329-05:00</updated><title type='text'>The Money Masters (1996)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EWAe7J2sFBU/TTxYz3j59vI/AAAAAAAAAQg/pNHcIitOxpI/s1600/NAfilmspresents.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="111" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EWAe7J2sFBU/TTxYz3j59vI/AAAAAAAAAQg/pNHcIitOxpI/s200/NAfilmspresents.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;This weeks Monday Movie might just test you patience, but, you will be rewarded if you make it all the way through. &amp;nbsp;The full title of the film is &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_T._Still"&gt;The Money Masters - How International Bankers Gained Control of America&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;nbsp;If that doesn't intrigue you then try this description:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;"&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial,sans-serif;"&gt;The powers of financial capitalism had a far-reaching plan, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole...Their secret is that they have annexed from governments, monarchies, and republics the power to create the world's money...The Money Maters is a 3 1/2 hour non-fiction, historical documentary that traces the origins of the political power structure that rules our nation and the world today. The modern political power structure has its roots in the hidden manipulation and accumulation of gold and other forms of money. The development of fractional reserve banking practices in the 17th century brought to a cunning sophistication the secret techniques initially used by goldsmiths fraudulently to accumulate wealth. With the formation of the privately-owned Bank of England in 1694, the yoke of economic slavery to a privately-owned "central" bank was first forced upon the backs of an entire nation, not removed but only made heavier with the passing of the three centuries to our day. Nation after nation, including America, has fallen prey to this cabal of international central bankers."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;If that short description intrigues you then make yourself a meal and hunker down for a 3:35:19 treat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" id="VideoPlayback" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid=-515319560256183936&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=true" style="height: 326px; width: 400px;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brought to you by &lt;a href="http://www.theworldofcinema.com/"&gt;The World of Cinema&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2094207657672959481-6065519497158210566?l=www.noagendafilms.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2094207657672959481/posts/default/6065519497158210566'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2094207657672959481/posts/default/6065519497158210566'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.noagendafilms.com/2012/01/money-masters-1996.html' title='The Money Masters (1996)'/><author><name>The World of Cinema</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06492910994608311980</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dNizgKe7lhY/TJTVbCXb0II/AAAAAAAAAPA/dZgmknJ-6cE/S220/WOC+RSS.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EWAe7J2sFBU/TTxYz3j59vI/AAAAAAAAAQg/pNHcIitOxpI/s72-c/NAfilmspresents.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2094207657672959481.post-9123664888527390869</id><published>2012-01-16T09:33:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-16T10:00:22.379-05:00</updated><title type='text'>A Face in the Crowd (1957)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h1nSybUO-Yg/TTxYwhut1jI/AAAAAAAAAQc/1KRtxdD4Ao0/s1600/NAfilmspresents.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="111px" kba="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h1nSybUO-Yg/TTxYwhut1jI/AAAAAAAAAQc/1KRtxdD4Ao0/s200/NAfilmspresents.jpg" width="200px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;This week we're going back to 1957.&amp;nbsp; Back when everyone in Gitmo Nation was fully addicted to the relatively new invention called &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television#History"&gt;Television&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Face_in_the_Crowd_%28film%29"&gt;A Face in the Crowd&lt;/a&gt; is second only to &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_%28film%29"&gt;Network &lt;/a&gt;in my mind for most insightful fiction films about the power of the media (specifically television) to shape public opinion and steer all of us slaves in the direction the elites want us to go.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the synopsis of just Act I of the story (from the Book of Knowledge):&lt;br /&gt;"In late 1950s America, a drunken drifter, Larry Rhodes (Andy Griffith), is plucked out of a rural Arkansas jail by Marcia Jeffries (Patricia Neal) to sing on a radio show at station KGRK. His raw voice, folksy humor and personal charm bring about a strong local following, and he lands a television show in Memphis, Tennessee under the stage name "Lonesome" Rhodes, given to him on a whim by Jeffries. With the support of the show's staff writer Mel Miller (Walter Matthau) and Jeffries, the charismatic Rhodes ad libs his way to Memphis area popularity. When he pokes fun at his sponsor, a mattress company, they fire him — but his adoring audience revolts, burning mattresses in the street. The sponsor discovers that Rhodes's irreverent pitches actually increased sales by 55%, and he is returned to the air with a new knowledge of his power of persuasion."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trailer:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/4740dqLktqE" width="560"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brought to you by &lt;a href="http://www.theworldofcinema.com/"&gt;The World of Cinema&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2094207657672959481-9123664888527390869?l=www.noagendafilms.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2094207657672959481/posts/default/9123664888527390869'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2094207657672959481/posts/default/9123664888527390869'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.noagendafilms.com/2012/01/face-in-crowd-1957.html' title='A Face in the Crowd (1957)'/><author><name>The World of Cinema</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06492910994608311980</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dNizgKe7lhY/TJTVbCXb0II/AAAAAAAAAPA/dZgmknJ-6cE/S220/WOC+RSS.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h1nSybUO-Yg/TTxYwhut1jI/AAAAAAAAAQc/1KRtxdD4Ao0/s72-c/NAfilmspresents.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2094207657672959481.post-7050493864335619325</id><published>2012-01-10T14:50:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-10T14:51:13.473-05:00</updated><title type='text'>2012 (2009)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h1nSybUO-Yg/TTxYwhut1jI/AAAAAAAAAQc/1KRtxdD4Ao0/s1600/NAfilmspresents.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="111" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h1nSybUO-Yg/TTxYwhut1jI/AAAAAAAAAQc/1KRtxdD4Ao0/s200/NAfilmspresents.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;A day late for the Monday Movie, so I'll make up for it with a drinking game to go along with this pick.&amp;nbsp; It will help.&amp;nbsp; Trust me.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've played with these rules three times and since the film is 158 minutes long, I say drink one shot of beer for each of the following rules.&amp;nbsp; If you drink anything stronger, No Agenda Films can not be held accountable for any drunk donating that happens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One drink anytime...&lt;br /&gt;1. Science confirms something. &lt;br /&gt;2. A famous landmark and/or city is destroyed.&lt;br /&gt;3. Someone physically runs from nature. (ex. "That earthquake is coming right for us!")&lt;br /&gt;4. A pet is in jeopardy.&lt;br /&gt;5. A sub-plot features a racial/cultural stereotype. (ex. the Indian scientists, the nerdy researcher, unemployed writer working part time job...)&lt;br /&gt;6. Someone goes back to get someone.&lt;br /&gt;7. There is a joke about an event that happens between 2009 and 2012.&lt;br /&gt;8. Any character talks about counting down (to anything).&lt;br /&gt;9. Woody Harrelson makes you think of Adam Curry.&lt;br /&gt;10. Anyone slowly backs away from the camera in terrified awe.&lt;br /&gt;11. Anyone watching the film with you says "What!?" out loud, that person has to finish their drink.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually, you can probably get drunk with just the trailer:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/cyCCd8MCcZY" width="560"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have to love a trailer that not only includes every money shot in the film, but also ends with the USS John F.

At 80 years old he continues to be arrested for acts of civil disobedience (over 80 times and counting).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2009, Judith Ehrlich and Rick Goldsmith made a fantastic documentary, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Most_Dangerous_Man_in_America:_Daniel_Ellsberg_and_the_Pentagon_Papers"&gt;The Most Dangerous Man in America&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp; about the publishing of the Pentagon Papers and Mr. Ellsberg's continues activism for a free and open democratic process within the US government.&amp;nbsp; The fact that this film now exists in the era of the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiLeaks"&gt;WikiLeaks&lt;/a&gt; story make the film all the more illuminating and insightful to the idea of putting classified documents out in the public view so that the&amp;nbsp;people will know what their government is doing in their name.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trailer:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/XwXylIaJ_Lg" width="560"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=noagefil-20&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;p=8&amp;amp;l=as1&amp;amp;asins=B00329PYGQ&amp;amp;ref=qf_sp_asin_til&amp;amp;fc1=000000&amp;amp;IS2=1&amp;amp;lt1=_blank&amp;amp;m=amazon&amp;amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;amp;bc1=000000&amp;amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;amp;f=ifr" style="height: 240px;

here at No Agenda Films.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Director &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Greengrass"&gt;Paul Greengrass&lt;/a&gt; announced his intention to adapt &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_Life_in_the_Emerald_City"&gt;Imperial Life in the Emerald City&lt;/a&gt; by &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rajiv_Chandrasekaran"&gt;Rajiv Chandrasekaran&lt;/a&gt; after Greengrass had completed The Bourne Ultimatum way back at the beginning of 2007.&amp;nbsp; In 2010, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Zone_%28film%29"&gt;Green Zone&lt;/a&gt; finally came out in theatres.&amp;nbsp; Paul Greengrass is an interesting filmmaker for several reasons - he comes from a background as a journalist, he is very technically proficient within the film medium and he almost always makes film based on real events.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His films include; &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resurrected_(film)"&gt;Resurrected&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(about the Falklands war), &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Fire_(film)"&gt;Open Fire&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(about&amp;nbsp;a true police manhunt), &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_One_That_Got_Away_(1996_film)"&gt;The One&amp;nbsp;That Got Away&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(about Gulf War I), &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloody_Sunday_(TV_film)"&gt;Bloody Sunday&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(about the 1972 Northern Ireland shootings), &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_93_(film)"&gt;United 93&lt;/a&gt; (about the plane that went down in Shanksville, PA on 9/11) and now Green Zone.&amp;nbsp; He also directed &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bourne_Supremacy_(film)"&gt;The Bourne Supremacy&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bourne_Ultimatum_(film)"&gt;The Bourne Ultimatum&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some thoughts from Mr. Greengrass on the making of Green Zone (found in the Book of Knowledge aka Wikipedia):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Although&amp;nbsp;Mr. Greengrass initially supported Tony Blair's justifications of the war, he became disillusioned over time. Greengrass carried out extensive research into the background to the conflict, reading left-wing journalists such as Bob Woodward, Seymour Hersh, James Risen, Thomas Ricks, and Ron Suskind, in addition to Rajiv Chandrasekaran, whose book he optioned. He has even compiled a document, How Did We Get It So Wrong?, detailing what he learned." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Addressing some of the contentions in the film, Greengrass has said that the arguments about disbanding the Iraqi army portrayed in the film represent debates that actually took place by US policy makers. The issue of the culpability of the Fourth Estate, i.e. the mainstream (news) media, or MSM, in taking intelligence at face value, although embodied by a single character, represents a broad based failing in both the USA and UK, but for Greengrass the fault ultimately lay with those trying to manipulate them."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Greengrass has said that both the Bourne films and Green Zone reflect a widespread popular mistrust of authority that was engendered by governments that have deliberately lied and have let their citizens down over the Iraq war.&amp;nbsp; The confusion surrounding the absence of WMD in Iraq also provided an ideal scenario for a thriller, in which the protagonist battles for the truth."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trailer:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/bkTpAYrLcOo" width="560"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blu-Ray DVD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=noagefil-20&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;p=8&amp;amp;l=as1&amp;amp;asins=B002ZG97RY&amp;amp;ref=tf_til&amp;amp;fc1=000000&amp;amp;IS2=1&amp;amp;lt1=_blank&amp;amp;m=amazon&amp;amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;amp;bc1=000000&amp;amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;amp;f=ifr" style="height: 240px;

here at No Agenda Films. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second film for this month is a perfect double feature for last weeks film, &lt;a href="http://www.noagendafilms.com/2011/11/november-is-hollywood-propaganda-month.html"&gt;Nothing but the Truth&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; That film was fictionalized account of the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judith_Miller_%28journalist%29"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #5588aa;"&gt;Judith Miller&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; / &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valerie_Plame"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #5588aa;"&gt;Valerie Plame&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; affair that happened in 2003.&amp;nbsp; This weeks film, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_Game_%282010_film%29"&gt;Fair&amp;nbsp;Game&lt;/a&gt; (2010)&amp;nbsp;is based on Valerie Plame's &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_Game:_My_Life_as_a_Spy,_My_Betrayal_by_the_White_House"&gt;memoir&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and directed by &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_Liman"&gt;Doug Liman&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(best know for starting the Bourne franchise by adapting &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bourne_Identity_%282002_film%29"&gt;The Bourne Identity&lt;/a&gt;).&amp;nbsp; As is the case with any "based on a true story" film, there are bound to be discrepancies.&amp;nbsp; The&amp;nbsp;Book of Knowledge has some&amp;nbsp;good details on a few of the&amp;nbsp;potential inaccuracies in this film -&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_Game_%282010_film%29#Historical_accuracy"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep in mind that the use of the word "propaganda" here is a two fold application.&amp;nbsp; First, there is the literal definition of the word; "A concerted set of messages aimed at influencing the opinions or behavior of large numbers of people".&amp;nbsp; Second, I contend that when Hollywood (or any film producing entity) puts out a "based on a true story", "inspired by true events" or any variation thereof there is a motive behind the film to put an official version of a story into the public consciousness since more people will see a film than any other media associated with the actual event.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more on Hollywood Propaganda try The World of Cinema podcast episode: &lt;a href="http://www.theworldofcinema.com/2010/03/season-2-ep-34-everything-is-propaganda.html"&gt;Everything is Propaganda!&lt;/a&gt;

here at No Agenda Films.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our first pick comes from No Agenda producer John.&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nothing_But_the_Truth_%282008_film%29"&gt;Nothing but the Truth&lt;/a&gt; (2008) was made three years after the real life incident involving the journalist &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judith_Miller_%28journalist%29"&gt;Judith Miller&lt;/a&gt; and the outing of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valerie_Plame"&gt;Valerie Plame&lt;/a&gt;

When she discovers fellow soccer mom Erica Van Doren is working as a covert operative for the CIA and recently returned from Venezuela, where she was investigating an assassination attempt on the President of the United States,  she confronts her and requests confirmation. Erica refuses to  cooperate, but Rachel has no doubts about the veracity of the report,  and her story becomes front-page news.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm using the term propaganda here since we're talking about a film that was made based on real events.&amp;nbsp; These types of projects always come with extra baggage since the film version usually ends up being the main source for information about the real events under question.&amp;nbsp; For example, how many people have seen the film &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JFK_%28film%29"&gt;JFK&lt;/a&gt; versus how many people have read one whole book about the same incident.&amp;nbsp; It's easier to watch a film than read a book.&amp;nbsp; However, in keeping with traditional Hollywood storytelling structure, there is far less complexity in any given Hollywood film than in most non-fiction books. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more on Hollywood Propaganda try The World of Cinema podcast episode: &lt;a href="http://www.theworldofcinema.com/2010/03/season-2-ep-34-everything-is-propaganda.html"&gt;Everything is Propaganda!&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trailer:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_-l5cDuBqBI" width="420"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=noagefil-20&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;p=8&amp;amp;l=as1&amp;amp;asins=B001PR0Y8K&amp;amp;ref=tf_til&amp;amp;fc1=000000&amp;amp;IS2=1&amp;amp;lt1=_blank&amp;amp;m=amazon&amp;amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;amp;bc1=000000&amp;amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;amp;f=ifr" style="height: 240px; width: 120px;"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brought to you by &lt;a href="http://www.theworldofcinema.com/"&gt;The World of Cinema&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2094207657672959481-8149808053993920025?l=www.noagendafilms.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2094207657672959481/posts/default/8149808053993920025'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2094207657672959481/posts/default/8149808053993920025'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.noagendafilms.com/2011/11/november-is-hollywood-propaganda-month.html' title='Nothing but the Truth (2008)'/><author><name>The World of Cinema</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06492910994608311980</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dNizgKe7lhY/TJTVbCXb0II/AAAAAAAAAPA/dZgmknJ-6cE/S220/WOC+RSS.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EWAe7J2sFBU/TTxYz3j59vI/AAAAAAAAAQg/pNHcIitOxpI/s72-c/NAfilmspresents.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2094207657672959481.post-3018768773716556518</id><published>2011-10-31T13:31:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2011-10-31T13:31:39.687-04:00</updated><title type='text'>V for Vendetta (2006)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EWAe7J2sFBU/TTxYz3j59vI/AAAAAAAAAQg/pNHcIitOxpI/s1600/NAfilmspresents.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="111" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EWAe7J2sFBU/TTxYz3j59vI/AAAAAAAAAQg/pNHcIitOxpI/s200/NAfilmspresents.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;"&lt;i&gt;Remember, remember the Fifth of November,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; I know of no reason,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; Why the Gunpowder Treason&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; Should ever be forgot.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t'was his intent&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;, To blow up the King and Parli'ment.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; Three-score barrels of powder below&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;, To prove old England's overthrow;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;By God's providence he was catch'd,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; With a dark lantern and burning match.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; Holla boys, Holla boys, let the bells ring.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; Holla boys, holla boys, God save the King!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; And what should we do with him?

They discover that the world has degenerated into a dystopia where advertising, commercialism, and cultural anti-intellectualism run rampant and dysgenic  pressure has resulted in a uniformly stupid human society devoid of  intellectual curiosity, social responsibility and coherent notions of  justice and human rights.

All is good and this NA Films Monday Movie happens to fall on my birthday.&amp;nbsp; I only mention this because ever since 2004, I watch this weeks film (my favorite documentary) on my birthday.&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Weather_Underground"&gt;The Weather Underground&lt;/a&gt; (2002) had a great run on the film festival circuit for almost two years before it was nominated for an Academy Award (Best Documentary Feature) in 2004.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are unfamiliar with the radical left college movements that took place here in Gitmo Nation East during the 1960's and 1970's, then you are in the same boat as me.&amp;nbsp; I was born in 1977 and have no direct connection with anything going on in this documentary.&amp;nbsp; That said, I watch this film with my jaw open every single time.&amp;nbsp; These events happened in this country and in my own parents lifetime and these people lived to tell their tale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What would happen today if there was a radical, underground network of mostly white, college age kids that went around the US of A blowing up government offices and buildings?&amp;nbsp; It would not end the way this story ends. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trailer:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Ay4cgdq6g-o" width="420"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On DVD:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=noagefil-20&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;p=8&amp;amp;l=as1&amp;amp;asins=B0001LYFKO&amp;amp;ref=tf_til&amp;amp;fc1=000000&amp;amp;IS2=1&amp;amp;lt1=_blank&amp;amp;m=amazon&amp;amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;amp;bc1=000000&amp;amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;amp;f=ifr" style="height: 240px;

This horrific event has come up on the show in the past and I had tried to post a NA Films Monday Movie selection, but all I had found was a terrible made for TV film from 1996 called &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117523/"&gt;The Siege at Ruby Ridge&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Last night I found that someone had uploaded all five episodes of a show called &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_rulers_of_the_world"&gt;The Secret Rulers of the World&lt;/a&gt; in which episode #1 is &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_rulers_of_the_world#Part_1:_The_Legend_of_Ruby_Ridge"&gt;The Legend of Ruby Ridge&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Overall, it is a good primer on the whole topic.&amp;nbsp; Be warned that the narration is condescending to the point of rolling your eyes, but, Randy Weaver and his daughter Rachel Weaver are both interviewed separately and tell a very coherent and tragic tale of a police state run amok.&amp;nbsp; Rachel even takes the crew back up to Ruby Ridge and give them/us a tour of what it looks like now and retraces how the whole event happened. &amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;The Legend of Ruby Ridge (49:33):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" id="VideoPlayback" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid=-4565369222910430105&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=true" style="height: 326px;
