Hungry For Change?

Video Documentary



In Food, Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our
nation's food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly
that has been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of
our government's regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA. Our nation's
food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that
often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the
American farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment. We
have bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop,
herbicide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes that won't go bad,
but we also have new strains of E. coli—the harmful bacteria that
causes illness for an estimated 73,000 Americans annually. We are
riddled with widespread obesity, particularly among children, and an
epidemic level of diabetes among adults.

Featuring interviews with such
experts as Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation), Michael Pollan
(The Omnivore's Dilemma, In Defense of Food: An Eater's
Manifesto) along with forward thinking social entrepreneurs like
Stonyfield's Gary Hirshberg and Polyface Farms' Joel Salatin,
Food, Inc. reveals surprising—and often shocking truths—about
what we eat, how it's produced, who we have become as a nation and
where we are going from here.

You can call me names but history knows I am a hero



3 Minute Video - January 19, 2010



Whenever there is injustice, there are people fighting it with every possible means. We have seen it so many times before: the oppressed
rise up, the oppressor dehumanizes them calling them such names as "terrorists", "saboteurs", "death loving" extremists...
It is only normal that the oppressor will always lie to justify his actions and its crimes.



What is different in the case of Palestine, is that the Israeli regime has built an effective media and communications networks and
campaigns to distort the image of the Palestinian resistance, and that a large portion of the world has believed the Israeli line and hence adopted it.



It is our duty to remember and remind the world that the Palestinian freedom fighter is a man, a woman, like any other. He loves
his family. She loves her country. They seek a better future. They are willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of justice and freedom. They waited
for the world to lift the blatant injustice that has befallen them since 1948. They expected the world to understand when they took up arms to lift this
injustice themselves.



Now, they don't care what anyone else...

Video - Channel 4 UK - Broadcast November 16, 2009

Dispatches investigates one of the most powerful and influential political lobbies in Britain, which is working in support of the interests of the State
of Israel.

Despite wielding great influence among the highest realms of British politics and media, little is known about the individuals and groups which collectively
are known as the pro-Israel lobby.

Political commentator Peter Oborne sets out to establish who they are, how they are funded, how they work and what influence they have, from the key groups
to the wealthy individuals who help bankroll the lobbying.

He investigates how accountable, transparent and open to scrutiny the lobby is, particularly in regard to its funding and financial support of MPs.

The pro-Israel lobby aims to shape the debate about Britain's relationship with Israel and future foreign policies relating to it.

Oborne examines how the lobby operates from within parliament and the tactics it employs behind the scenes when engaging with print and broadcast media.

My guest tonight is a Jewish American political scientist and author who Jewish supporters of Israel right or wrong love to hate.
He is – Norman Finkelstein.



Norman Finkelstein grew up in New York City where, before he obtained academic employment, he was a part-time social worker with teenage
dropouts.



He completed his undergraduate studies at New York’s Binghampton University in 1974. After studying in Paris, he went on to
get his Master’s degree in political science, and later his PhD in political studies, from Princeton University. He has held faculty positions at
five American universities.



The reason why Finkelstein is vilified by Jewish supporters of Israel right or wrong can be simply stated. In his writing and public
speaking, as in his doctoral thesis, he is committed to exposing books which present Zionism’s version of history. They are, he writes and says,
part of a “monumental hoax”, “fraud” and “nonsense”.



His friend Noam Chomsky once warned him in a letter that he would get into trouble because, Chomsky wrote, “you’re going
to expose the American intellectual community as a gang of frauds, and they are not going to like it, and they’re going to destroy you.”



A dramatic moment in Zionism’s on-going attempt to destroy Finkelstein, and also its highly successful...

Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land provides a striking comparison of U.S. and international media coverage of the crisis in the Middle East, zeroing in on how structural distortions in U.S. coverage have reinforced false perceptions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This pivotal documentary exposes how the foreign policy interests of American political elites--oil, and a need to have a secure military base in the region, among others--work in combination with Israeli public relations strategies to exercise a powerful influence over how news from the region is reported.
