‘The Most Dangerous Man in America’ tells the story of Daniel Ellsberg, a high-level Pentagon official and Vietnam War strategist, who in 1971 concluded that the war in Vietnam was based on decades of lies. He consequently leaked 7,000 pages of top secret documents to The New York Times, making headlines around the world.

This is a riveting story of how this one man's profound change of heart created a landmark struggle involving America's newspapers, its President and Supreme Court. The documentary features Daniel Ellsberg, Patricia Ellsberg, Robert Ellsberg, Tony Russo, Howard Zinn, Hedrick Smith, John Dean and others, and, from the secret White House tapes, Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger who called Ellsberg "The Most Dangerous Man in America".

I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones. — Albert Einstein

Beating The Bomb is a historical documentary about war and peace, foreign policy, vested interests, nuclear war and the fight against them. The film charts 'The Bomb' from 1941 to present day, juxtaposing the political backdrop against the growth of the peace movement and framing the nuclear weapons issue within the wider context of global justice.

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.

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.
