Politics - Less Jobs More Wars - No You Can't

The never ending imitations of the original Obama/Black Eyed Peas political mashup continue with this dark entry: NO YOU CAN'T.

Comedy: George Carlin - Who Owns You America

A YouTube member named Puppetgove has created this visual interpretation of one of George Carlin's stand-up segments. I have always loved George Carlin's activism. He has a great way of cutting through the static of daily life and telling it like it is without sounding preachy. That takes real talent. I also admire the political activism that is happening on YouTube and other internet video mediums. It just may save this country.

Saturday Feature: Free-Will productions - The Oil Factor: Behind the War on Terror

Free-Will Productions is a husband and wife documentary team from Los Angeles who have teamed up with a video editor and a composer. They have been making films since 1995 and they reinvest all the money they make from sales to TV and home video back into new documentaries. In this manner they operate with complete independence. As they put it:

"Free-will productions is proud to say that our only executive producer is our own public."

Their work can be purchased directly from their website linked above. In The Oil Factor, they explore all the various relationships, motives and human costs surrounding oil and the complete dominance of energy interests in the US government. They suggest a direct tie between out interest in Saudi Arabia and the attacks against us by terrorists. They did a great job in their investigations and they have a lot of notable people that contribute their voices to the project.

News: Michael Moore Calls out CNN

It is a snowballs day in hell that you will see a clip from CNN on this blog but that day just arrived and doubled up because this is extraordinary.

CNN aired this hit piece on Michael Moore's latest movie Sicko:





They then, unwisely, had Michael Moore on live after playing it to get his response. Boy did he respond. He went ballistic on them and said pretty much everything I ever wanted to say to the mainstream media. God bless Michael Moore.




As promised, Michael also provided his own fact checkers for CNN's report and he put the results on his website.

Saturday Feature: The Corporation

The Corporation is one of my favorite documentaries of all time. Created in Canada by writer Joel Bakan and filmmakers Mark Archbar and Jennifer Abbott the movie explores the darker side of this legal person who is no person at all. They have released this movie as shareware in hopes that people may like it enough to buy their own copy. If it has as profound an impact on you as it did for me then please consider buying one or even just making a small donation to their effort through their website. I gather they are still recouping the money that it cost to make which is a shame considering how powerful and important this movie is.
