Endgame: Blueprint for Global Enslavement



Alex Jones's new documentary, Endgame, posits several theories relating to "the dawn of a new dark age" in which a few elite businessmen are planning to erase global boundaries in order to conglomerate the governance of three disempowered populations: the E.U., the North American Union, and the Asian Union modeled after Communist China. This plan allegedly involves depopulating countries around the world, constructing superhighways that connect otherwise unreachable regions throughout America, and forming paramilitary groups to infringe on personal freedoms and privacies. Interview footage of journalist Jim Tucker among many dubious others is spliced amongst myriad historical footage of the past two World Wars, right wing political speeches, eugenics charts, and shots of woodcuts depicting Napoleanic conquests and the Roman empire, impling that our society's political conservatism bears resemblance. But in tracing the formations of the League of Nations, the U.N., and finally Bilderberg Group in 1954, Endgame accuses these groups of trying to merge countries and eliminate international borders, without really assessing the fact that this has never been a secret. It will also seem obvious to many viewers that private parties "bankroll" wars for economic gain, not always philanthropic. Toward the film's end, an extended segment about Planned Parenthood's ties to early eugenics groups, which accuses Ted Turner and Bill Gates of buying into depopulation plans because both have donated funding to promote birth control in third world countries, reveals a pro-life agenda. In addition, after watching multiple clips of Jones himself yelling into people's car windows, wondering why the airport security are detaining him for following businessmen with a camera, stalking visitors at a Canadian hotel, and making other various rash gestures, it is difficult not to see Endgame as one man's elaborately considered conspiracy theory.

God Grew Tired of Us



What makes `God Grew Tired of Us' so captivating is that it traces the footsteps of refugees fleeing war, poverty, and persecution ravaging Sudan since 1983. Due to the keen editing of Johanna Giebelhaar and Geoffrey Richman, this nearly flawlessly paced documentary zeroes in on three male refugees who make their way to America and find a bewilderingly different life. ("The good-hearted people of America asked us to be there.")

Using footage of the aftermath of the civil war between northern Muslim Arabs and the beleaguered southern Christians, we are shown long lines of refugees taking what little they have to Kenya where ghostly, emaciated figures wait warily in new lines for relief. Displacement adds to their anxiety as relatives become unaccounted for. Always concretely laying down the foundation of history, the film unflinchingly gives one a front seat to their predicament.

Enter Daniel Abol Pach, Panther Bior, and John Bul Dau. They are the movie's central focus. Like a few others, they are invited to the United States and offered the amenities of an apartment, a chance at employment, and the perks of our material benefits. Daniel and Panther live in Pittsburgh; John lives in Syracuse. It is a fascinating culture shock, one that shows their innocence in the face of our technology and their resolute determination to retain their culture. (As one example we see almost quiet awe as their guide explains indoor plumbing.) Always taking steps forward in opportunity, we see them work, experience bigotry, and come to terms with our way of life. ("America is a very strange place...[but] if you can manage, it`s a land of opportunity." --John Bul Dau)

“Santo Domingo: Sexo Urbano”

The HBO Latino television network feature “Santo Domingo: Sexo Urbano” again unveils the often unspoken tourism of “prostitution, lesbianism and homosexuality" in the Dominican Republic.

On Sunday night HBO’s repeated the documentary, first aired on February, 2006, whose content sparked reaction in Dominican society, in the various churches, and the government.

The documentary says Dominican Republic, in addition to being the land of the merengue, beautiful beaches, the “Pear of the Caribbean” has beautiful women and hot-blooded men. “It’s a perfect destination for whoever looks for pleasure and adventure. “Parties in the water, exuberant dancers and lady companions in Boca Chica and the old city, where everything conspires to create a sexual cornucopia for the most adventurous seekers of sex.”

“Dominican Republic is considered a paradise in the middle of the Caribbean. The land of the merengue lodges beautiful beaches, an exquisite gastronomy and majestic places. But also an immense variety of sexual tastes and practices,” the film says.

A “taxi driver” identified as “Peter González” and who’s the guide for the city at dawn is the star in the 49 minute-long production, which features erotic prostitutes, dancing, “masseurs”, lesbians, homosexuals, bisexuals and nocturnal ambiances in Santo Domingo’s main discos, especially the ones located in the Colonial City, El Malecon, and the upscale sectors Gazcue and Piantini.

The “taxi driver” begins the documentary describing Santo Domingo as “a tropical forest in quiet calm by day, but “it’s a night when there’s partying to enjoy, especially with the attractive and sensual skin of our colored women.”

The “taxi driver” adds that Dominican women who go out “to look for it” by night and dawn, “are like birds of prey: always ready to hunt to their quarry.”

Another participant in the documentary, identified as “Natalia,” 20 years of age, says she’s an exhibitionist because she likes to be seen naked. “To party with this body, this mouth and these eyes, imagine that, nobody can resists it and there’s nothing else to say,” adding that walking naked along the streets and beaches excites her, “mainly here in the city where the men watch me and honk their horns at me from cars, I love to walk like that.”

Another “star,” Catherine, 24, says she’s a lesbian, “because between women, sex is understood better because they do know what they like and what one does to the other”. She says she’s a waitress in a bar and isn’t going to change her sexual preference. “In my work I try to enjoy myself with the people I meet, I give them my number and if they call me, I go with them because the good customers always take me to the best hotels and beaches, discos and stores. I enjoy although it doesn’t happen always.”

“Being in bed with a man is really good, but with a woman it’s better, because with her I feel smoothness, sensitivity and texture,” Natalia said.

Also in documentary is “Pily,” an “erotic masseuse” who says she does her work with everybody, but when she performs a massage, if she likes a man, she gas sex with him. “Here in Santo Domingo there’s plenty sexual liberation, no taboos and everybody does what they want with their sexual taste.”

A Call to Action


This film is Brian's photographs, video, audio recordings, and emails from his time in Sudan as an investigator in the cease fire agreement and his return visit to Chad. The images in the film are nothing short of shocking, graphic and deeply disturbing on a level I never knew existed. If you think you "know" about the situation in Darfur, you haven't seen anything until you sit through 85 minutes of systematic genocide, rape, torture, and mutilation.

I am thrilled to see it out for mass distribution. For every family with kids (and especially with College Students) I recommend this video as a gift. Make it a gift you give to every student who is deciding what to do with their life after graduation or still "undecided" in their major. For a family, the film can be a bit graphic with war death (but death is only shown in still photography so it is not that shocking to children). But we can no longer afford to shield children from the truth.
The intriguing part of the film is the author's wisdom about dealing with "post-genocide" and to explore this issue the author and his sister traveled to Rwanda to discover how to help a country and people groups when the war has ended.

‘Paprika’ novel gets an English translation this April!


We’re big fans of Satoshi Kon’s animated film Paprika and today we have found reason to rejoice! The 1993 novel that this animated wonder was based on by author Yasutaka Tsutsui has been translated into English and will be available through Alma Books in the UK this April. When prototype models of a device for entering into patients dreams go missing at the Institute for Psychiatric Research, it transpires that someone is using them to manipulate people s dreams and send them insane. Threatened both personally and professionally, brilliant psychotherapist Atsuko Chiba has to journey into the world of fantasy to fight her mysterious opponents. As she delves ever deeper into the imagination, the borderline between dream and reality becomes increasingly blurred, and nightmares begin to leak into the everyday realm. The scene is set for a final showdown between the dream detective and her enemies, with the subconscious as their battleground, and the future of the waking world at stake. Widely acknowledged as Tsutsui s masterpiece, Paprika unites his surreal, quirky imagination with a compelling, haunting narrative. AmazonUK

Programmed to Love

The cream of the recent 'chill-out' tidal wave. On a par with Air's 'Moon Safari' and towering above Groove Armada and Kinobe. Read my track-by-track synopsis below to prove it's diversity in styles.1. Exercise 1 Quirkily amusing Aphex Twin style outing that shares a similar tune to The Orb's 'Oxbow Lakes'. The intro is funny too.2. Private Road Emotional synth sweeps over an Irish Beth Orton soundalike. *Very good*. Like much of the album, it has melodies that stick in your head and leave you humming them all week.3. Cylons Of Love Very Air. Laid back track with Vocodered vocals and lush piano.4. Chocloate Wings The album's low point. It just doesn't fit in that well with the other songs. Upbeat dance track with cheesy lyrics about wanting to look at some girls chocolate star (ooo-er).5. Invisible Pedestrian More like it. Moody bassline with thumping drums over the top.6. I Remember Johnny Tinkling pianos, breakbeats and a really, really smooth bassline.
7. Swollen The album's high point. Sorta like Air, it fits sultry, breathy lyrics over a hypnotic 'Bladerunner' type tune. I think this is being released as their next single.
8. Welly Top Mary Breezy Summer evenings wasted away drinking, smoking and making love to Welly Top Mary. Nice.
9. Irritating Noises I'm not so sure about the male vocal but it plods along nicely enough. What is he crooning about anyway?
10. Always (three parts) a)Always in my heart:Club-style dance track with all the cliches: Operatic diva chanting over the top with a Euro type bassline. Saved by a truly mind-altering piano loop.
b)Toothless gibbon: Frenzied techno with a monkey screeching in the backround. Sorta amusing, but ultimately irritating.c)To the bridge: Mellow hip-hop beats with children singing 'London Bridge is Falling Down' over the top. Nice album closer. ;)

12. Tour Photo Album
MGMT sounds a lot like they tried to become a new Animal Collective. Similar timbres of their voices and the pshycedelic-electronica-pop was almost cookie cutter.
This band does "overproduction", and they definitely put across the image of a neo-hippie, hedonistic lifestyle. Just watch their hyper-psychedelic video of "Time to Pretend" and you'll know where their heads are at, as they used to say back in the `60's. That leadoff track gets the album off to a joyous start, and even if you don't subscribe to the drug-culture lifestyle they seem to espouse (sardonically or otherwise - this song is probably one of the factors that earned them an "explicit lyrics" label), So people say "you have to admit it's a fun and freewheeling track". In fact, there's a lot of bohemian and loose song structure throughout this album, infused with some often "retro" engineering tricks. Another standout track is "Electric Feel". The energy level seems to flag a little in the latter half, it´s rather lightweight album, the kind I believe people would like to play in there car stereo on a warm spring day with the windows down. That been said I would also like to share the lyrics of "Time to Pretend" and I guess that´s how the youth feels now days, its my conclusion and I think its a waste.
"Time to Pretend"

I'm feeling rough, I'm feeling raw, I'm in the prime of my life.
Let's make some music, make some money, find some models for wives.
I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin, and fuck with the stars.
You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars.

This is our decision, to live fast and die young.
We've got the vision, now let's have some fun.
Yeah, it's overwhelming, but what else can we do.
Get jobs in offices, and wake up for the morning commute.

Forget about our mothers and our friends
We're fated to pretend
To pretend
We're fated to pretend
To pretend

I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms
I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world
I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home
Yeah, I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone.

There's really nothing, nothing we can do
Love must be forgotten, life can always start up anew.
The models will have children, we'll get a divorce
We'll find some more models, everything must run it's course.

We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end
We were fated to pretend
To pretend
We're fated to pretend
To pretend

The End of America excellent documentary

The End of America is an excellent documentary about the unraveling of the constitutional rights in the United States. Wolf's argument uses many examples of past closed societies to illustrate these occurrences in that country. The End of America: Director's Cut is by far the most extensive and complete version of the film and should be viewed by not only any American who cares about his or her rights. but by anyone who feels that something wrong is going on in our world.
