JOHN
STOCKWELL AND THE CIA
(PART III)John Stockwell introduces the documentary made about him by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Saul Landau. The movie has been shown in several film festivals around the world and on TV in many countries; but the U.S. networks, including PBS, refused to show it. Consequently, our showing provides its American premiere. Next, we look at segments of three weeks' coverage by the TV networks of the situation concerning the Russian troops in Cuba, interspersed with John's comments. Finally, John gives his evaluation of Cuba, having recently visited there three times, and his arguments against the CIA. The program was designated "tonight's highlight" by the Austin American-Statesman and evoked much discussion. AV-050_GEORGE_WALD_energy.AVI AV-050_GEORGE_WALD_energy.MP3 * Nobel Prize-winning biologist discusses the insanity of nuclear weapons, the dangers of nuclear energy, and the threats to survival which we currently face. He analyzes the socioeconomic roots of our current crisis and proposes solutions. Recorded November, 1979 AV #051: LOSING GROUND: FIGHT TO SAVE BARTON CREEK on that website AV-055_FROM_JFK_TO_KKK.AVI $ AV-055_FROM_JFK_TO_KKK.MP3 This combination documentary and discussion of the history, present activities, and significance of the Ku Klux Klan in the U.S. includes a show and tell with the Klan newsletter and extensive video coverage and analysis of an anti-Klan rally in Dallas. Texas ACLU director John Duncan discusses the group. AV-058_IRAN_TWO_INSIDERS_VIEWS_SAVAK_CIA_1979 .AVI $ highly recommended, you can listen but should watch a young man near the breaking point discuss his experience of over a year of torture by US-backed Iran for taking part in a demonstration, prior to the overthrow of the Shah Pehlavi of Iran. AV-058_IRAN_TWO_INSIDERS_VIEWS_SAVAK_CIA_1979.MP3 * In a stunning and emotional powerful program, an Iranian poet and political dissident vividly describes his incarceration and torture at the hands of the Shah's police -- SAVAK. Additionally, Lisa Radcliffe, who recently returned from an extensive trip to Iran, relates her experiences. She also shows the State Department documents which the students holding the hostages gave her, documenting CIA involvement and counter-revolutionary activity of the U.S. which continued right up to the takeover of the embassy. AV-074_CIA_ON_COMPANY_BUSINESS.AVI $$ * multiple interviews from original movie, plus discussion in studio There's a few used copies of VHS tape of this penetrating documentary on Amazon, only part 1 and 2 found so far, no DVD, no active torrents (see reviews below in righthand column) AV-074_CIA_ON_COMPANY_BUSINESS.MP3 * We once again examine that dark, vicious world of the CIA -- the use of U.S. labor organizations, the overthrow of legitimate governments, providing arms to favored groups, covert use of the American mass media, U.S. torture schools and CIA torture supervisors abroad -- all resulting in great human suffering and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people and in the maintenance of repressive regimes. Sections of the meticulously documented, award-winning film On Company Business are interspersed with the comments of ex-CIA officer John Stockwell, and Molly Dougherty who worked on the film. John also comments about the pending legal action against him by the CIA, and a fundraiser for his legal defense fund, to be held at the University of Texas. Recorded June, 1980 AV-104_EAT_DRINK_AND_BE_WARY_1981.AVI relevant to health care and insurance debate in 2009 and beyond, have not seen yet AV-104_EAT_DRINK_AND_BE_WARY_1981.MP3 The dangers of pesticides, food additives and non-nutritive food are analyzed. The film Eat, Drink and Be Wary demonstrates that food corporations, in their drive for profits, produce food that leads to disease and poor health for the American people. Additionally, a former food consultant with a government agency concerned with health and nutrition discusses the film and provides his insights and solutions to problems of food and health in the U.S. AV-107_AGENT_ORANGE_ABOMB.AVI $ AV-107_AGENT ORANGE ABOMB.MP3 THE FORGOTTEN GUINEA PIGS: THE AGENT ORANGE AND A-BOMB TEST SURVIVORS AND YOU A heartwrenching documentary and interview exposes the nature and effects of the use of Agent Orange in Viet Nam. Dan Jordan and his wife, along with another vet, discuss their experiences with "unexplained" diseases and handicapped children. They also provide information about the Brotherhood of Viet Nam Veterans efforts to get the government to provide assistance for vets affected by Agent Orange. AV-109_WHY_ARENT_WE_SMILING.AVI AV-109_WHY_ARENT_WE_SMILING.MP3 Secretaries are usually taken for granted. As the movie 9 to 5 shows, they are no longer standing for mistreatment and abuses. We focus on the working conditions of women office workers in the documentary Why Aren't They Smiling?, a slide-tape show about the secretarial oppression and discontent. Local women, who are carrying out organizing efforts in order to improve the lot of secretaries discuss the slide show and attempts by office and clerical workers to counter their oppression. AV-116_FREE_NAMIBIA.AVI AV-116_FREE_NAMIBIA.MP3 In a shocking and moving documentary we see the terrible living conditions and racism under which the Black majority lives in Namibia and the growing resistance to white rule imposed by South African troops. Also, two guests provide us the latest information about the Namibian situation, particularly the action of the allied countries -- U.S. and South Africa. Originally aired: June 1980 Documentary "Free Namibia" Copyright, 1978 AV-119_DAVE_DELLINGER.AVI AV-119_DAVE_DELLINGER.MP3 We spotlight one of America's longtime fighters for peace, civil rights and social and economic justice. A pacifist for many years, Dave Dellinger talks about his imprisonment for his resistance to U.S. entry into World War II, and his opposition nuclear war and nuclear energy, beginning in the 1950s. In relating his other activities in the 1960s, he assesses his relationship with the civil rights movement, particularly his friendship with Martin Luther King, Jr., and his activities in the anti-war movement. A member of the "Chicago Seven," Dellinger evaluates the 1960s: the successes, failures and lessons learned. To conclude, he discusses America in the 1970s and 1980s and calls for coalition-building to create a new movement for effecting social change in the face of the activities of the New Right. AV #120: AN INFORMAL EVENING WITH CHARLIE KING - on that website AV-126_BOYS_FOR_SALE.AVI $$$ teenage homeless boy prostitution, sex slaves, murder, large corporations hire out these boys for their executives and clients, who are often heterosexual and married, not homosexual, but powerful individuals who get off on the power trip of abusing and destroying helpless boys. The man speaking in the video suffered several attempted assassinations. He found little to no cooperation from authorities, who were either overworked or uninterested, too hard to bust such a thing. must watch no audio-only, too much visuals to skip AV-127_BOYS_FOR_SALE.AVI $$$ LARGER, HIGHER BITRATE: AV-126_BOYS_FOR_SALE.185.AVI AV-127_BOYS_FOR_SALE.185.AVI AV-139_CIA_UPDATE_1981.AVI $$ with John Stockwell, studio discussion AV-139_CIA_UPDATE_1981.MP3 * Former CIA case officer (Stockwell) makes another appearance to discuss recent activities of the CIA. Particular emphasis is placed on the congressional bill and the executive order which remove previous restraints on the intelligence services and which will make it a felony to reveal their activities and personnel, resulting in the first official secrets act in the history of the country. ("It is impossible to have a democracy and a secret police.") February, 1981; November, 1986 AV-146_THREE_MILE_ISLAND_AFTERMATH.AVI It melted down and leached toxic and radioactive gases into the community and ecosystem. It almost blew up and would have taken out 3 states. They lied repeatedly in the midst of the crisis and afterwards. They told people to stay put. No workable evacuation plans can exist -- too big. You're on your own. In the "First Retrospective" above, Dr. Helen Caldicott explains that a speck of plutonium lodges in lungs and/or liver, builds up in sex glands and moves on to offspring, kills and causes cancer, and upon cremation or decay, the same plutonium enters the ecosystem to be absorbed by maybe another child or adult, adding great risk to lives and health of hundreds of future generations. Randy King, a resident of Harrisburg who experienced firsthand the Three Mile Island nuclear accident and who now participates in a coalition of anti-nuclear groups, reveals much information about the TMI accident and his own conversion (from an employee) to anti-nuclear activism. He talks about the coverup of information on the tragic consequences to the health of the residents in the area: the soaring rate of miscarriages, stillbirths and deformed children, with even greater occurrence of these phenomenon in the "lower" forms of animals. King also analyzes the astronomical economic cost for the cleanup, which is primarily falling on the backs of the ratepayers, and indicates that the cleanup problem is so complex that to do it safely might not even be possible. Finally, King presents a videotaped documentary on the subject. AV-150_LEONARD_PELTIER.AVI $ Interview with Native American relative of Peltier, a political prisoner in the US, listen or watch a "real Indian" in braids talk about his pain and experiences. AV-150_LEONARD_PELTIER.MP3 * A leader of the American Indian Movement, Leonard Peltier is serving two consecutive life sentences in federal prison for "aiding and abetting" in the deaths of two FBI agents. The highly controversial case has received great international interest, including human rights tribunals and Amnesty International, because of allegations of judicial and FBI misconduct: threatening witnesses, producing false evidence, perjury and withholding evidence. A book about Peltier is being completed and Robert Redford is considering directing a film based on the Peltier case. We present an interview with Peltier's cousin, Steve Robideau, who relates the specifics about Peltier's case as well as some of the other struggles of Native Americans today. Robideau also presents fascinating insights into Native American philosophy and values. AV-153_COVERT_ACTION_1.AVI $$$ AV-153_COVERT_ACTION_1.MP3 * AV-154_COVERT_ACTION_2.AVI $$$ AV-154_COVERT_ACTION_2.MP3 * AV-155_COVERT_ACTION_3.AVI $$$ AV-155_COVERT_ACTION_3.MP3 * Our three-part series on covert action, featuring former CIA official John Stockwell and Louis Wolf, co-editor of Covert Action Information Bulletin, begins with an overview of the general nature and activities of the CIA. We then discuss how the "Intelligence Identities Protection Act" and the Reagan executive order on intelligence agencies would promote media self-censorship and thus repress public scrutiny and criticism of intelligence (including FBI) activities -- including assassination plots, destabilization of foreign governments, and assorted "dirty tricks." John Stockwell explains how this legislation in effect amends the First Amendment by abridging freedoms of speech and press -- without having gone through the constitutional amendment process. AV-159_INSIDE_LEBANON_1982.AVI $$$ In an interview and a documentary we get an intimate feel for the situation in Lebanon from both the Israeli and Palestinian sides. Israeli citizen and Peace Now activist Ilan Ziv is a photo-journalist who made a documentary inside Lebanon during the fighting. He talks with Israeli soldiers as well as Palestinian refugees. Ziv captures the entire atmosphere and feeling of this tragic war and provides new insights into the thinking of the Israelis and the Palestinians. AV-160_INSIDE_ISRAEL_1982.AVI $$$ Israeli citizen and Peace Now activist Ilan Ziv gives us startling insights into the psychology of his country's leaders and citizens. He also evaluates the peace movement in Israel and the peace protests within the Israeli armed forces. Most revealing, however, is his analysis of the great affect the Holocaust had on the Israeli psyche--particularly that of this generation of Israeli leaders--which has caused severe psychological distortions, resulting in a country and leadership unlike no other on earth. AV-162_TALKIN_UNION_Part_I.AVI $$ * contains important video footage on the early labor movement in the US, near slavery conditions for American workers AV-163_TALKIN_UNION__Part_II.AVI $$ * "Talkin' Union" is a documentary made by People's History in Texas about the working conditions of female workers in Texas from the Depression to the l950s. The film shows the struggles of these women to improve their working conditions by trying to establish unions. The first program starts with the Depression and continues to World War II. Four women--two Chicanas, one Black and one White--tell their stories. Original recording: September,1982 AV-167_MAKING_MOVIE_ABOUT_THE_CIA_1982.AVI $$$ Can anyone find this startling documentary which is subject of this talk??? I can't find it on Pirate Bay!!! There are copies on Amazon, and maybe somewhere on Google video. (see review below in righthand column) AV-167_MAKING_MOVIE_ABOUT_THE_CIA_1982.MP3 * Alan Francovich is producer and director of the most definitive film on the CIA--the acclaimed three-hour documentary (On Company Business)--which took five years to make and required massive, world-wide research. The movie has won prizes at international film festivals and has been shown in over 30 countries. Francovich tells how the US government and the CIA have harassed him and have applied pressure to restrict the movie's distribution. Francovich also relates some new information about the CIA and analyzes contemporary world events in light of this evidence. Recorded October, 1982 AV-168_DR_SPOCK.AVI AV-168_DR_SPOCK.MP3 Dr. Benjamin Spock's name became universally known after his book "Baby and Child Care" was published, selling 26 million copies and being translated into 26 languages. Dr. Spock also is famous for his anti-war struggles from the 1960s to the present. He reveals many little-known facts: why he wrote his book; how he became involved in the anti-war movement; his being sentenced to two years in jail; his relationship with Lyndon Johnson; why he is a socialist; and his experiences in running for US President. AV-17x George Seldes.txt Seldes met and interviewed Mussolini, and also met Lenin. He exposed American lies as well as fighting fascism with his brains and typewriter. AV-175_LIES_AGREED_UPON__GEORGE_SELDES_1.AVI AV-175_LIES_AGREED_UPON__GEORGE_SELDES_1.MP3 Although George Seldes is one of the giants in the history of American journalism, particularly in the field of press criticism, he has been neglected and blacklisted by the mainstream press. In this three-part series we present the American TV debut of Seldes, who was a foreign correspondent from 1917-1939 and who published the alternative newspaper "In Fact" in the 1940s and l950s. Seldes wrote over 20 books and was the model and inspiration for present day activists and muckrakers like Ralph Nader, I.F. Stone and Jack Anderson. In Part I, Seldes recalls the World War I "battle" of Saint-Mihiel, which was no battle at all; his interview with Lenin; and his many talks with Mussolini, who later tried to have him killed. He analyzes press coverage of the events, showing us the lies, distortions and machinations which occurred and the people and institutions involved in them. AV-176_LIES_AGREED_UPON__GEORGE_SELDES_2.AVI AV-176_LIES_AGREED_UPON__GEORGE_SELDES_2.MP3 We see post-World War I Germany and the rise of Nazism through Seldes' eyes. He vividly recalls his talks with President General von Hindenburg, his meeting with Hitler, the huge Nazi rallies in Nuremberg and Hitler's hypnotic spell over the people. Seldes describes the destruction of the Weimar Republic by the wealthy German capitalists who not only exploited and helped ruin the German economy, but also supported Hitler. Seldes specifies the pro-Nazi segments of the American press, particularly the "Readers' Digest" and William Randolph Hearst, who accepted a "bribe" to print pro-Nazi stories. Next, he relates his experiences as a reporter during the Spanish Civil War and exposes the gross censorship, distortions and lies in the press about the tragic struggle. AV-177_LIES_AGREED_UPON__GEORGE_SELDES_3.AVI AV-177_LIES_AGREED_UPON__GEORGE_SELDES_3.MP3 Seldes relates his experiences as a press muckraker in the 1940s and 1950s. He recalls his coverage of the war in Mexico and the machinations of the American press there. He tells of starting his newsletter, "In Fact," which had a nationwide circulation of almost 176,000, and which exposed the material ignored and distorted in the regular press. Seldes explains why he was blacklisted in the press, even though he had written over 20 books, some of which were bestsellers. Finally, he recalls his experience of being called up to testify before the infamous McCarthy Committee in the Senate and how the Red Scare eventually destroyed his newspaper. AV-179_WAR_GAME__REALITY_OF_NUCLEAR_WAR.AVI We present the US television premiere of Peter Watkins' film "The War Game," a graphic portrayal of what would happen in the event of a nuclear attack on Great Britain. The movie was so powerful and realistic that the BBC banned it from TV despite the fact that the film had been commissioned by the BBC and had won an Academy Award in l966 for best documentary. Although it has been shown in a few movie theatres in the US, it has not been presented on TV. "The War Game" is shocking, but is not sensationalized. It was carefully researched and based on actual events which occurred in World War II during and after the mass Allied raids on Germany and the atomic bombings of Japan. AV-184_NEW_TECHNOLOGY_WHOSE_PROGRESS.AVI "fun" bullshit media hype PR documentaries spliced together about technology and progress!!!! AV-199_CHARLIE_CLEMENTS__REBEL_DOCTOR_1983.AVI $$$$ lots of live video from the field in El Salvador, touching and moving Dr. Charlie Clements, who grew up in Austin, Texas, tells us why he joined the US Air Force, subsequently flying non-combat missions over Viet Nam. Clements explains why he refused to participate further in the Viet Nam War and describes the Air Force's response--giving him a psychiatric discharge. He then tells how he became a Quaker pacifist, went to medical school, and decided to go to El Salvador to give medical assistance to the rebels. Clements' discussion of the new form of society evolving in the "liberated areas" of El Salvador is particularly interesting, and he provides sharp criticisms of the Reagan administration's Central American policy. AV-207_VIEW_FROM_THE_INSIDE.AVI In an anniversary program marking the end of five years of continuous programming, we present an inside look at "Alternative Views": how it is made, what our sources of news stories are, where we get our guests, and how we receive our unique video footage and documentaries which are not shown on the Establishment media. In a "show and tell" we display samples of previous programs which are good examples of the nature of the show. We also tell of the extremely positive local, national and international response to the program. April, 1984 AV-222_RACISM_ON_TELEVISION.AVI in England, interesting how it's done in the news and comedy shows AV-222_RACISM_ON_TELEVISION.MP3 AV-240_RUSSIAN_TROOPS_IN_CUBA--REVISITED.AVI $$ * AV-240_RUSSIAN_TROOPS_IN_CUBA--REVISITED.MP3 MANIPULATING AMERICA: THE RUSSIAN TROOPS IN CUBA -- REVISITED A recent article in the NACLA publication had an extensive review of the US policy in Central America, pointing to the watershed nature of the situation of the Russian troops in Cuba which occurred during the Carter administration. The author claims that the policy of accommodation and assistance toward the Sandinista government in Nicaragua and the rebels in El Salvador was changed after the hawks made a non-event into a government crisis, forcing Carter to place his Caribbean and Central American policy in an East-West context and to take a hard line in Central America toward the progressive forces. We re-show the relevant segments of a previous program on the subject (#48) featuring former CIA official John Stockwell, as we analyzed the network coverage of the situation. AV-258_HIROSHIMA_AND_NAGASAKI.AVI $$$ must watch AV-258_HIROSHIMA_AND_NAGASAKI.MP3 HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI: WHAT PEOPLE EXPERIENCED Three short works are shown which reveal in powerful and touching reality what it was like to endure the atomic bombings in Japan. First is a 22 minute documentary, Hiroshima-Nagasaki," which contains movie footage in the cities after the bombs exploded. The documentary is so explicit and powerful that it was suppressed by the U.S. government for many years. AV-261_FAULK_AT_HIS_FINEST.AVI Austin's beloved folk humorist, Texas political figure, cool old coot, very active with ordinary people. Talk in studio. AV-261_FAULK_AT_HIS_FINEST.MP3 * AV-298_ANGELA_DAVIS_SPEAKS_OUT_1986.AVI history of racism, rape, and social phobia live talk in film, lecture only, might want to see her speak, not just hear AV-298_ANGELA_DAVIS_SPEAKS_OUT_1986.MP3 * AV-306_BUSINESS_OF_HUNGER.AVI $$ illegal immigration got you angry? AV-306_BUSINESS_OF_HUNGER.MP3 A shocking documentary provided by the Marynoll Sisters, how peasant farmers are forced off their land in Third World countries to make way for large landowners (backed by CIA and US military) and multinational agribusiness (backed by CIA and US military). By using the land for export crops, people go hungry because the country can no longer provide food for all its people. Additionally, the dispossessed landowners are either forced to work on the big farms at low wages or to go to the cities where they cannot find satisfactory work and are forced to live in squalid conditions. Shows the brutality and venality with which the established powers operate. AV-316_TECHNOWAR_IN_VIETNAM.AVI $$$ part 1x2 AV-316_TECHNOWAR_IN_VIETNAM.mp3 * talk in studio, little or no critical images if you have low bandwidth In the first of a two-part series, we make an in-depth analysis of the Vietnam war with Dr. Bill Gibson, Sociology professor at Southern Methodist University and author of The Perfect War. The program proceeds at two levels: the first is the analysis of the basic nature of the war at the macro stratum of the planners--the politicians and generals--and the lowest level of the common soldier. The result provides not only a fresh, new insight into the causes and nature of the war, but also a gut-wrenching feeling for the life and feelings of the fighting men. Gibson maintains that the war was designed and managed like a factory, with the higher ranking officers being the managers and the ordinary soldier being the workers. The product was body count. The result was soldiers being used as ambush bait on search and destroy missions and the Vietnamese civilians being subjected to continuous atrocities. The emphasis by the Americans was on the use of sophisticated technology which was not just ineffective in bringing American victory, but was irrelevant in fighting a popular war of national liberation which was mainly political. AV-317_TECHNOWAR_IN_VIETNAM.AVI $$$ part 2x2 AV-317_TECHNOWAR_IN_VIETNAM.MP3 * In the concluding program on the Vietnam war several subjects are presented: the air war, in which the equivalent to body count was sorties, which resulted in North Vietnam being bombed back to the stone age; the dissolution of the U.S. Army as a fighting force, with many of the combatants refusing to fight and killing its most disliked officers and high ranking enlisted men in the phenomenon known as "fragging;" corruption in the (South) Vietnamese Army; false and doctored intelligence reports which were required by the U.S. military chain of command; the presentation of the war by the American mass media; and how the Vietnamese continued to thwart the American technical superiority. Next, Dr. Gibson, author of The Perfect War, critiques the two main schools of thought about the war--the liberal (It was just a series of little mistakes, with no villains.," and the conservative (We didn't use all our potential force.) Finally, we see if the U.S. leaders have learned anything from the Vietnam experience. They haven't. They are using the same methods in Central America. AV-321_CIA_CONGRESS_PRESS.AVI $$$ talk in studio, little or no critical images if you have low bandwidth AV-321_CIA_CONGRESS_PRESS.MP3 * A documentary is presented in which former CIA employees and other people who have written about the CIA tell of the extent of penetration of the mass media by the CIA and how the media are used by that agency to manipulate public opinion. CIA whistleblowers such as John Stockwell relate how these operations actually were implemented in various covert actions in which they were involved around the world. At the conclusion of the film, we look with John Stockwell at some other specific instances of disinformation and compare these with the general practice of the American government, particularly in the Reagan Administration, to lie, to distort information, and to manipulate the press.

The books--"America, What Went Wrong" and "The Overworked American" -- are presented along with a mention of past books, such as "The Crisis of Democracy," to show that the social contract which has existed since the New Deal of FDR was broken during the Republican years, resulting in the impoverishment of US citizens and dismantling, not only of much of the American productive economy, but also of the institutions of social and economic support for the people.

Operation Gladio was the CIA and Italian/European secret police staging random terror bombing operations against the public, against random citizens, to induce a political swing to the right, out of fear and a desire for security, blaming the terror bombs on political enemies, Leftist political parties.

The books show the history and incredible, unchecked power of the Fed to control the US economy, to affect the outcome of presidential elections, and to wreak havoc on the American people while enriching the wealth of the powerful people and institutions controlling the system. The complex workings of the Fed are discussed.

Pete's book "The Mafia, CIA and George Bush," shows the incredible complexity of the relationships in the operation of the destruction of hundreds of Savings and Loans at the hands of the CIA and the Mafia, stealing many billions of dollars in the process, and leaving the taxpayers to bailout the banks. Big names at the state and national levels of power are involved, including Lloyd Bentsen, the Bush family, and power brokers in Houston. People such as Kenneth Keating and Don Dixon, who are mentioned prominently in the press in connection with the S & L debacle, were merely front men or "cutouts" for the main movers.

We review how, during the Reagan-Bush years the drive of the rich and powerful to capture completely the organs of government, to lock out all meaningful public participation, and to bend all laws and the administration of them to their own interest have had a seriously detrimental on the people in general--impoverishing and disenfranchising them. This destruction of the social contract implied from the years of FDR is nothing less than class warfare by the American ruling class on the rest of us. 1993 AV-487_ALTERNATIVE_PRESS.AVI AV-487_ALTERNATIVE_PRESS.mp3 Dr. John Downing, author of "Radical Media" and Chairperson of the Radio-TV-Film Department at the University of Texas, analyzes the Establishment press and American society.

AV-492_THE_de_ANTONIO_LEGACY.AVI $$$$$ WOW!! The late Emile de Antonio was America's most outstanding maker of documentaries. These films have been presented in theatres all over the US and in much of the rest of the Western world. Although his documentaries have won much acclaim--including an Academy Award nomination--with one exception, his works have not been presented on television, mainly because they are quite hard-hitting and very political from a more radical point of view. His documentary on Richard Nixon resulted in his being placed on Nixon's enemies list. He also was persecuted by J. Edgar Hoover. Shortly before he died, he did an interview with us about his life and works, and he permitted us to use all of his documentaries in making this four-part series. Part I highlights "Rush to Judgement" about the JFK assassination, and "Point of Order" about Senator Joe McCarthy and the postwar Red Scare era. AV-493_THE_de_ANTONIO_LEGACY.AVI $$$$$ WOW!! This program spotlights two works: the humorous, satirically scathing look at Richard Nixon--"Millhouse: A White Comedy," and "Vietnam: Year of the Pig," an historical documentary about the origins and operation of the Vietnam War, a film which was made while the war was in progress.

"1968: America is Hard to See," which takes us back to the 1960's and the anti-Vietnam War era and to another Senator McCarthy--Eugene, the senator who fought against the continuation of the war and who ran against LBJ in democratic primaries. The second is "In the King of Prussia," a dramatic recreation of the trial of the Catonsville Nine, an anti-war activist group. Martin Sheen plays the part of the unsympathetic judge. The final work, "Underground," is about the people of the Weather Underground who were in hiding as a result of bombing of some public buildings. De Antonio was hounded by the FBI because he was able to find the group, whereas the FBI could not. AV-495_THE_de_ANTONIO_LEGACY.AVI $ Two documentaries. The first, "Painters Painting" is not a political statement, but features interviews with various artists and shows their works. The other documentary is an autobiographical "summing up," spotlighting Emile's longtime persecution by the FBI. At the moment of the initial cablecasting, the film had not yet been released. It's kinda pointless to listen to audio of de Antonio's movies, but here ya go if you want the podcasts: AV-492 AV-493 AV-494 AV-495 AV-497_PPRRI_22_CLINTON_TAXES_RELIGIOUS_RIGHT_NUKE_TEST.AVI AV-497_PPRRI_22_CLINTON_TAXES_RELIGIOUS_RIGHT_NUKE_TEST.MP3 POTPOURRI: An assessment of Clinton's new policies and proposals, showing how little things have changed from the Reagan-Bush years; the efforts of the Religious Right in penetrating and controlling the political process; the dangers of nuclear testing.

He sees a profound solidification of power and control into the hands of the international ruling elite which will be able to clamp down a new world order which will severely diminish--perhaps eliminate--local, state and national democracy for the benefit of international capitalism.

(Not "Illuminati", real institutions with addresses, email, fax, phone, websites.) We see how their personnel and policies dominate the US economic and political system, regardless of administration -- Democrat or Republication. In the concluding hour we provide the basis of elite control of the economic system through an interlocking network of stock ownership and shared directorates, especially by the ruling class banks and insurance companies. Next is an assessment of the distribution of wealth and income in the country. Then we analyze the place and function of the mass media in the power structure, finding that the elite media are part of the system of control. Control of elections is the next section, followed by a review of the book "Trading with the Enemy" and a section of "America/from Hitler to MX," showing how during World War-2, the American ruling economic institutions were assisting the Axis powers while the US was fighting them. Finally, we conclude with a short section on what can be done to work toward real democracy in the US. AV-518_POTPOURRI_28_NIXON_MEXICO_HARD_TIMES_1994.AVI Potpourri: Three areas of focus.

Coming from a working class background, and having a father who was a labor leader and politician, Brennan had a special feel for the common people and for civil rights and liberties. The author shows how time and again Brennan would elicit consensus among the disparate justices in order to write the most liberal opinions possible. It was his work which produced Roe v Wade and many other opinions in which civil liberties were enhanced. It might have been called the "Warren Court," but it was Brennan who actually did the work and produced the outcomes.

Another section contains sections of a documentary about cold fusion, which the US has eschewed. Meanwhile, the rest of the world -- particularly Japan -- has made great strides in developing cold fusion, something which could revolutionize the world's economy. Finally, we show how much money and resources are going to animal husbandry instead of to the potentially abundant supply of grains, fruits and vegetables which would feed the whole world.

What is being planned is cloaked in secrecy, but what has been revealed is frightening: suspension of our Constitutional rights; arrest of political dissenters without habeas corpus; and concentration camps, designed to hold millions of people, which are being readied all over the U.S. No approval by congress or state or local government is necessary to execute the plan. Even local military or police authorities can declare martial law without consulting higher authority. Interviewed is investigator and author Chip Berlet. We also intersperse sections of past programs with experts who deal with the subject of planned public persecutions, past and present. Some of these experts include MIT's Noam Chomsky, University of Texas history professor Tom Philpott, former CIA officer John Stockwell, and congressmen Henry Gonzalez and Ron Paul.

Next is a review of a book with economist Dr. Jack Hopper about how the drive to maximize profits by deregulation and a "return to laissez-faire" has had negative effects--as if there ever was a time when government did not work to assist capitalism. But the author says that laissez-faire is not working well, and that the American economic system needs to be re-assessed to come up with something better, particularly since the Cold War now is over. Finally, we intersperse sections which show the rampant errors in grammar and word usage (lame, but ok) of the people on the mass media today. AV-556_UNDER_SIEGE_LEBANON_1997.AVI $$$ English surgeon, Dr. Pauline Cutting, and Dutch nurse, Ben Alofs, went through almost unbelievable times in Lebanon during a siege of their Palestinian camp, Bourj al-Barajneh, by the Amal militia. For six months they tried to keep their hospital running despite starvation, disease and military attacks. People were reduced to eating cats and dogs, and finally were considering cannibalism before the siege was finally lifted. Cutting was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. In Part One we show some history of the area by presenting sections of previous documentaries on the Israeli invasion of Lebanon and the effects it had on the people. Included is footage of the massacre at Sabra and Shatilla and of the visciousness of the Israeli attacks in other areas of Lebanon. Ben Alofs recounts his experiences in the area at the time. |

Some of it is like watching a dejv vu experience, such as the discussions on Health Care, ongoing Wars and Covert Actions in the Middle East and Latin America, our relations with the Soviet Union, the Vietnam War in detail (including US soldiers used as "bait" on suicide missions), CIA and covert operations, Lying Elites, the Federal Reserve and banking system through the Savings & Loan crisis with a govt bailout for the wealthy (with CIA and Mafia looting the money, illegal arms trade), Iran-Contra treason, illegal immigration, and the American Power Structure in general, who are the people who run things, who are the Power Players and how do they attain those roles. A whole lot of background information which was suppressed at the time and is now forgotten. (In a free society, this show would have been nearly as popular and promoted as the old "FBI" show or cop shows or "24".) Anything with John Stockwell is good. Consider the old saying, "Do you think I was born yesterday?" describing naïveté. If you don't want to be "born yesterday" in your political views and understanding of the world, this collection is for you! Many of these feature John Stockwell, a retired 13-year veteran of the CIA and retired US Marine. Cheers for Mr. Stockwell, whose book rights and profits were trampled by the Federal Govt. From what I've been told, off the record, Mr. Stockwell was apparently threatened or punished by the CIA many years ago, such that at some point he withdrew permission for his interviews to appear on television. Yet these are now placed in the public domain. I invite Mr. Stockwell to contact me (i might be very slow to respond, anyone else use my personal email if you know it). I also invite Frank Morrow, Doug Keller and others to contact me, if interested. I would love to speak with you and thank you for all you've done for us proles, and offer any support I can (probably not a lot). Some of these might be useful for a high school or college project on government and media. I would invite anyone to download these and post on your own website or share on a bittorrent site. Frank Morrow and his team are mostly Leftists, and more than a few explain and clarify what and Socialism-Marxism is and is not, as well as standing for democracy (farther to the Left than the corporate Democratic Party), but also included are discussions on news stories gleaned from The Spotlight, a Far Right publication that some people consider fascist (sometimes the only source for real information on Israel at the time), and a few interviews with conservative libertarian Ron Paul. Noam Chomsky considers himself a classic conservative who criticizes both the Liberal Establishment and Reactionary forces, against the template of the U.S. Constitution (itself a ruling class elite protection plan to limit popular influence). Another big source is Covert Action Quarterly, a defunct publication by former CIA officers. Much of this is critical of the Reagan and Bush administrations, but it's not partisan bickering and does not wholly defend Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton or other Democrats. Highlighted is the apparent role of Democrats in always "caving in to" or backing right wing and Republican demands, including silence on many issues, such as evidence of outright treason on the Iran Hostage Crisis which resulted in the 1980 election stolen from Democrats, i.e. they would rather lose an election than bust their "loyal opposition". It would have been exciting to see Morrow and various guest discuss Sept 11, but many videos reveal the outright criminality of the Bush family (Senior) and their various cronies. I will add to this collection as time allows if more videos are added online. THESE FILES COLLECTED FROM Archive.org -- Alternative Views http://www.archive.org/details/alternative_views (more details on that link) Alternative Views is a public
affairs program that produced 563 one-hour TV
shows between September, 1978, and April, 1998. It's goal was to
provide
information and perspectives that either were not shown on the regular
media
or were greatly distorted by them. The show also provided a platform
for
other people to present their views and to play their documentaries
that the
Establishment media would not present. Alternative Views was
distributed by
mail to 85 cable systems that served over 250 cities and suburbs.

TECHNICAL DivX or Xvid inside an AVI "jacket" is the common "Podcast" format/codec for video, an early Mpeg-4 industry standard. Videos inside an MP4 jacket usually are made with a newer high-compression codec, which a slower CPU may have trouble decoding and processing without stuttering. Many standalone home DVD players (one connected to your TV) can play DivX-AVI files simply burned as data files to a blank CD or DVD without actually "authoring" a DVD movie project. Check if your home DVD player says DivX on the front. If so you can watch these in the living room with the family instead of on the computer screen. Maybe start with some "war porn" to get the kids interested, before the longer CIA and economy discussions. I converted these videos to AVI-DivX-3 video format and/or MP3 audio-only format and reduced them in size from 250mb to approximately 150mb, and 40mb for audio-only. (Several vids are around 200mb, due to more important visual content. One file is 384mb, because it's 2 hours instead of 1 hour.) This reduction to about 288 kbps video (approx YouTube bandwidth) (and a few at 384 kbps), from 512 kbps on Archive.org, is a compromise that does not seriously harm the quality, slight increase in blocky artifacts, because the original is like low quality VHS-tape for old television. Much of it is people talking in a studio, with facial expressions and gestures, occasionally showing some photos or drawings. Some video includes films by outside documentary makers, offered to Alternative Views. If your Windows Media Player cannot play these, do not install a CODEC pack like K-Lite, instead get the free Xvid CODEC. Another choice is to install SMPLAYER or Videolan VLC, and set that in Preferences to play AVI files (uncheck "Windows" types). These two are nice standalone players which don't risk messing up Windows by embedding codec files in the core system. SMPLAYER and VLC have versions for Linux and Mac. Mac and Linux users can also use Quicktime and many other players. Since these are "old school" DivX version-3, Avi format, these videos can easily be authored to a DVD using DVDFlick or DeVeDe or other free programs. I'm not positive how Windows Movie Maker treats multiple video files. You can author four or more 1-hour videos to a DVD project folder on your hard drive, then burn the VIDEO_TS folder to a blank DVD, choosing DVD movie burn format. You really need to comprehend Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) to view your hard drives and folders, if you want to locate files and use them. Many people just click Web links, and have no comprehension of file management or how folders are organized. I sometimes like to pack more onto a disk by "overburning" the DVD project to larger than the standard 4.8 GB size of most DVD blanks. Next, I use DVDShrink to reduce that to 4.8 GB. For obsessives, the next step can present the opportunity to use PGCEdit to fix minor "flaws" in the project folder created by DVDShrink, to quickly create a more standardized and reliable ISO "image" of a DVD on your hard drive. This temporarily uses another 4 GB of space, until the ISO file or the parent project folder is deleted. Since DVDShrink analyzes the video stream for motion vs. static content before starting compression, it avoids injecting too much visual distortion if you don't go overboard with the oversizing and shrinking. Next, I burn the DVD project or ISO using ImgBurn. You may have Roxio, Nero, or other programs. A few home DVD players won't play burned DVDs, probably due to defects. However -- this is more technical -- it's possible to download a "flash" utility from CDfreaks to update the chip-BIOS inside the burner with a modified BIN file. This allows you to set the burner to write a bit-set to the blank DVD that fools the home player into thinking it's a store-bought pressed DVD. ==================== Inside the CIA On Company Business Part 1 - The History [VHS] Informative and disturbing (Amazon.com) A bold and upfront explanation of the real aims of covert U.S. foreign policy since World War II. Directed by Allan Francovich, also director of Houses are Full of Smoke. After World War II, the CIA was established not so much to fight Communism, as was often stated, but rather to undermine or overthrow any government and foreign political movements that got in the way of U.S. business interests and U.S. access to these foreign countries' natural resources. Undermining economies, spreading propaganda, and intimidation through torture and assassination were our tactics. The `dirty work' was generally carried out by local criminals who had no idea why they were hired to do what they were doing. This way the CIA operatives kept their hands clean and were not the objects of retaliation. Although we were much kinder on our allies (most of Western Europe) we did try very hard to destroy the European left, which was very strong after WWII. For example, the CIA hired the Corsican mafia to break up labor unions in Southern Italy because we felt the unions were becoming too powerful. The documentary is essentially narrated by former CIA agents who tell their stories, many of whom have also written books about their experiences with the agency. The most controversial figure is Philip Agee who had his U.S. passport taken away for revealing the names of certain CIA agents (apparently this is an act of treason, although when the Bush administration did it to take revenge on Joe Wilson for telling the U.S. that Saddam Hussein was not a threat to U.S. security, it was ok). There is also an interview with a hired assassin, or mercenary, almost too strange to believe. Inside the CIA, Vol. 2 - Assassination
