These are my heroes.

ZEITGEIST, The Movie – The Documentary of All Documentaries

If you are going to watch a documentary, make sure it is ZEITGEIST, The Movie. This experimental production brings different perspectives of the human history together to explain the world of today. It’s not a pretty picture but it shows you the light at the end of the tunnel.

Make sure you watch this movie to the end, these may well be the most enlightening 2 hours of your life.

(The first 3 minutes of the film contains no video, intentionally.)

Busy Beee

Dear reader,

Even though you never comment on my posts, I am sure that you are very disappointed by the lack of updates on this blog lately, and so I would like to apologise for that. You see, I’ve been very busy posting UFO videos on this blog’s sister, UFO Watcher.

So, if you want a break from today’s depressing politics and current affairs, pop in for a visit and say “hi”. There are many things out there that you’re missing out. ;-]

Cheer up,
Ant.

Mark Thomas – UK Arms Trade

This is an excerpt from Mark Thomas Comedy Product series 3 episode 2 aired by Channel 4 in 1999. In this clip Mark Thomas comments on the state of the UK arms industry and trade. It’s not a pretty picture but Mark still manages to make it humorous.

I wonder how much things have changed since this was broadcasted 8 years ago. Knowing governments, probably not much.

Docutrailer – Manufacturing Consent

Last week’s docutrailer was one of my favourite movies of Noam Chomsky, Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media. This documentary was released in 1992 but it still fully applies to the mass media today.

Chomsky argues that mass media are profit-driven corporations, which push forward the agendas of society’s dominant elite groups.

Think of that the next time you switch on “the tube”, if you have one that is. If instead (like me) you rather surf the net, there’s plenty of stuff to suit every mood at YouTube.com.

Go internet! :]

Politics – "boring"

If you think that politics are boring, just remember – “the ruling class… loooves you“.

Corpo-government prostitution

I got quite angry after my previous post, which prompted me to research a little more into the subject of beverage additives. I found out that the beverages industry and some health organizations have been well aware of the dangers of certain additives since the late 80’s but never told the public! At the time nothing was done because “…the beverage industry told the government it would handle the problem and the FDA [Food and Drug Administration of US] thought the problem was solved.“

This makes me wonder… how many times does any government assume for 16 years that someone is following their promises about something that is affecting the health of (and maybe even killing) millions of people worldwide? Apparently this isn’t unusual if you are a corporation.

Also, which government would trust its own citizens if we all said – “don’t worry govy, I know I’ve been a bad boy but I promise promise promise that I’ll pay my taxes next week.” – erm… none that I know!

So I ask, why do governments seem to trust the mega huge corporations that run the world today?! Oops, maybe the answer is in the question itself.

E211 additive switches off parts of DNA

This weekend The Independent newspaper reported on a recent soft drinks research, which reveals some brands may cause serious health damage.

“Research from a British university suggests a common preservative found in drinks such as Fanta and Pepsi Max has the ability to switch off vital parts of DNA.

The problem – more usually associated with ageing and alcohol abuse – can eventually lead to cirrhosis of the liver and degenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s.

Concerns centre on the safety of E211, known as sodium benzoate, a preservative used for decades by the £74bn global carbonated drinks industry. Sodium benzoate derives from benzoic acid. It occurs naturally in berries, but is used in large quantities to prevent mould in soft drinks such as Sprite, Oasis and Dr Pepper. It is also added to pickles and sauces.” ~ in The Independent

Make sure you make a mental note of E211 right beside aspartame and mono sodium glutamate.
