In a race against the Nazis to develop an atomic bomb, the USA assigned leading scientists from all over the world to The Manhattan Project. The project was an incredible scientific, engineering and manufacturing feat that would have everlasting global consequences.
This documentary examines the Manhattan Project through government files, archival footage and accounts of surviving members of the development team, including Paul Tibbets, pilot of the Enola Gay.
‘Enola Gay’ is the name of the plane flown by Tibbets to drop the bomb on Hiroshima in 1945.
For every documentary that I post I have screened quite a few and this film is another one of those that make my heart sing.
Few people outside the world of academia have ever heard Gene Sharp's name but his writings on nonviolent revolution (most notably ‘From Dictatorship to Democracy’), have inspired a new generation of protesters living under authoritarian regimes who yearn for democratic freedom. Mr. Sharp's ideas have taken root in places as far apart as Burma, Thailand, Bosnia, Estonia, Iran, Indonesia, Zimbabwe, Venezuela, Syria, Egypt and elsewhere in the Middle East, as old orders crumble amidst the protests of their disgruntled citizens.
You can read Gene Sharp's 'From Dictatorship to Democracy' here.
In 2008 greed and recklessness by the titans of Wall Street, years of deregulation by the US government and faulty ratings from credit agencies triggered the biggest financial crash since The Great Depression.
In this 4 part documentary series produced by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), Terence McKenna takes viewers behind the headlines and into the back rooms of world governments and financial institutions, in an attempt to explain the events and decisions that led to the 2008 meltdown.
If you think that politicians and financial institutions have now learned their lesson and the crash of 2008 will not repeat itself – think again.
If the Mainstream Media (MSM) or excessive use of social media has trained your brain into a state of "say it in a sound bite or I don't understand" – you should not be on my website. I say this frequently and I mean it. However, if you find complex subject matter intriguing and if you want to be truly informed, you're in the right place.
I can highly recommend this 5 part documentary series titled Counter-Intelligence.
Quote from the documentary's website:
From the rise of the national security state and mass proliferation of state/corporate propaganda, to the normalization of constant, now remote (drone) warfare and the ongoing decay of constitutional rights, Noble (director) lays out some of the most significant – yet often overlooked or outright censored – information about one of the most significant issues of our times: Black Ops.
Noble helps to expose the real conspiracies factually, transparently, and responsibly. It's a film that should be screening across the US, but given the nature and subject of the film, don't count on it.
Share and show it far and wide.
Counter-Intelligence would be an excellent addition to college classes on political science, history, sociology and critical thinking, to spark debate and discussion, utilizing what's left of our First Amendment rights while we still can.
