Movie Review for the Weekend

Excerpt of Review

Super 8
(2011):
A ageless, fantabulous family film ___ 8/10

I point out this clip because I have never seen a better illustration of the difference between poor acting, mediocre acting, and the best acting. In the scene the girlfriend/wife (played by Fanning) is having a heartfelt conversation with the male lead, the detective in this movie within a movie. The detective character says he must take his investigation to a faraway place—Michigan. It's a trip she knows is fraught with danger, and he may not return. Fanning (as Alice) first reads her lines in a cursory manner. The director and troupe show disappointment, but decide to go ahead and roll the scene. What Fanning brings next is pure screen magic... for the movie AND for the movie within the movie.[2] [Full Review]


The Week that Was

Guest Column

Compassion for the Vaccine Injured:
Where has the compassion gone?
by Barbara Loe Fisher (NVIC)

Vaccination choice is one of the most important freedoms we enjoy... or should enjoy. Just a few weeks ago, I excerpted from the NVIC (National Vaccination Information Center) September newsletter regarding the Gardasil forced-vaccine law in California. This column excerpts from the recent newsletter, another fine and highly informative column by Barbara Joe Fisher. The pro-forced-vaccine forces are strong and cunning, and well-funded thru Corporate largesse. But as my ol' buddy Howard Wooldridge of COP says, "All the bad men in the world can't stop a good man (or a good woman) who keeps on a comin'" [Full Column]


COFFEE COASTER WEEKLY PERKS

"To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men."
— Ella Wheeler Wilcox

  1. Keeping the Christ out of Christmas: I know a lot of Christians and other partisans of supernatural-Jesus belief systems are upset that we often forget the Christian origin of the holiday Christmas. As it turns out, the origins of the holiday we celebrate as Christmas—by the way only made a US holiday in 1870—are everything but related to the birth of Jesus. Watch this enlightening little video.

  2. It's official, the federales can throw your ass in jail: ...without charge, without trial, and forever. Obama is no longer threatening to veto the bill, and it still contains the ad hoc legal framework to allow black bags to be thrown over the heads of American citizens and have them whisked away from their homes to some unknown location indefinitely. Indefinite detention without trial (idwot) is here just in time for Xmas.

  3. Back on our favor-selling, large-vocab, woobie tyrant Gingrich: The Ron Paul campaign has put together a dynamite video that lays out the former politico's big government record and Gingrich's craven acceptance of every legal perk of Washington Insiderdom, and many that are not legal. He's the ultimate grimey sleazeball. No way he could defeat the current alien dictator in chief.

  4. Speaking of fantabulous RP videos: Here's a vid courtesy of Ben that lays waste to the absurd claim that Ron Paul is weak on defense. Truth is all his opponents on the Republican side, and the would-be opponent on the Democratic side, are as doltish children to Dr. Paul's incisive understanding of military and security state history, especially on the threats of the month: Iran and Pakistan. Active duty military support RP 4:1 over all the other candidates combined.

  5. The Best Short Video on the Web: Vote for Dr. No. (Here's an oldie but a bestie, I'm keeping this in Perkville until RP is elected president.) In just two minutes... In case anyone needs a reminder of what an epic train wreck Bush-Bama has been for the nation, here' a short video that sums it all up. It happens to have been made by a Ron Paul supporter. Ron Paul has faults, but his election would be revolutionary.

  6. Top Government Expert Reveals Osama-9/11 Truth:Top US government insider Dr. Steve R. Pieczenik, a man who held numerous different influential positions under three different Presidents still working with the Defense Department, has told Alex Jones that Osama Bin Laden died in 2001 and that he was prepared to testify in front of a grand jury how a top general told him directly that 9/11 was a false flag inside job.

  7. New underhanded tactics from a Big Pharma greedpot: From my friends at Alliance for Natural Health: It wasn’t enough that KV Pharmaceutical Company raised the price of this critical drug (Makena, which helps prevent premature births) from $10 to $1,500 per dose. Now they are going after pharmacists and hitting pregnant low-income women the hardest. Here's the outrageous yet hopeful story.

  8. How Fiat Money Strangles the World: A staple of Perkdom. This is a lovely video that everyone must see and resee. Where the rich get richer and the poor get angry. Watch this fab little video, and share it with as many as you can, because it's the way things work. It also tells us exactly what we need to do to fix the global problem. Personally, I'm ready for my $30K reparations check from the banksters.

  9. Time to be thinking of system alternatives: Introducing RealSurvivalTV.com. The last ten years have awakened most thinking people to the fact that if there is ever a serious breakdown of systems and/or society - locally, regionally, or nationwide - we're on our own. This introductory video provides a sane and sober look at our survival needs. Here's an idea of mine: how about a people's movement for Self-Sustaining Townships? Anyway, no question we need to think of community-based survival, IMHO.

  10. Cop(s) speak out agains corporate-state violence on peaceful protestors: Retired Philadelphia police chief Ray Lewis endorses the OWS movement, citing other cops who say this is America. Closing line on a great video, Captain Courageous says, "... we're all victims of Corporate America and Corporate America has got to be stopped."

    "The day we see the truth and decline to speak is the day we begin to die."
    — Martin Luther King

MUST SEE:
Very Special Brasscheck TV broadcast: In conjunction with Prison Planet, Russell Means is featured in a 1:30 long presentation entitled "Russell Means: Welcome to the Reservation." What the Oligarchy is doing to us is what it's been doing to the American Indians from the beginning! I have never seen as thorough and incisive an analysis of what ails human society--particularly America--nor a judgment of what we need to do. Starting by enforcing the Constitution and taking away privileges of the money power. ABSOLUTELY A BLOCKBUSTER! If anyone knows how to get the DVD, please, please send me a note.

Russell is in the news from INN (Infowars Nightly News) again, and he is suffering from health issues. Please contribute through the referenced site or through this PayPal link shown as follows:

Continuing War Crimes Perk

UN calls on Obama to Investigate and Prosecute U.S. Torture Charges
Wikileaks Documents Prove Torture, Abuse and Criminal Acts Were Systematic

In the wake of the release of 400,000 documents by Wikileaks, the United Nations has called on U.S. President Barack Obama to order a full investigation of crimes committed against the Iraqi people following the invasion and occupation that was directed by George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld. UN special rapporteur on torture Manfred Nowak declared that the Obama administration has a legal and moral obligation to fully investigate credible claims of US forces' complicity in torture. Nick Clegg, the deputy Prime Minister in the UK has, in the wake of the recent revelations, also called for an investigation into the reports of mass torture disclosed in the newly released documents. Check out this extremely illuminating RT video outlining multiple horrendous crimes on the Iraqi people as US government policy. Then act!

Latest news from IndictBushNow.org: Protests are greeting Cheney at his book signings and preventing Bush from attending a Canadian university. Former FBI agent Coleen Rowley states: “Is it proper to honor this war criminal [Bush] who launched preemptive, unjustified wars of aggression and ‘shock and awe’ that led to hundreds of thousands of people killed, mostly civilian ‘collateral damage’ and widespread destruction in the Middle East?”


Political Prisoner Appeals

My personally adopted American political prisoner is Pete Hendrickson. He currently languishes in federal detention for crimes that are not crimes, for leading the freedom cause on taxes, respectively. Please help him financially and by getting out the word to end the federal Mob that would silence him.


Help Pete Hendrickson uphold the tax law on the federal government: Please check out Pete's latest letter above then a less recent one here: "Tax Truth from the Front: Timely clarity on income tax from Pete Hendrickson." You can branch off to other sites, but we must free Pete Hendrickson and liberate all the other political prisoners if we are to enjoy a benevolent, free society based on the Sacred Nonaggression Principle. Pete's recent News Release. Please distribute it widely among the media.
Please communicate with Pete by mail at:
Peter Hendrickson #15406-039,
P.O. Box 1000,
Milan FCI,
E. Arkona Rd.,
Milan, MI 48160

Then help with the financial end with his family going through an equal if not greater amount of stress from the federal mobsters. Please send donations to:
Peter or Doreen Hendrickson
232 Oriole Rd.
Commerce Twp.
Michigan 48382


Bernard von Nothaus facing many years
The VP (vicious prosecutocracy) is looking for upwards of 20

Bernard von NotHaus (BVNH), the convicted monetary architect of the Liberty Dollar now faces sentencing. This is a very dangerous time. If the report prepared before sentencing is uncontested or poorly contested (as per the trail) BVNH could very likely spend the rest of his life in prison for introducing a value based currency, protecting the people's purchasing power and trying to return America to a sound and honest monetary system. Please don't let that happen. BVNH as secured a short term $20,000 loan and retained a sentencing attorney to defend him at the sentencing. But he needs to repay that loan very quickly. Would you please help?

Please click HERE to make an anonymous donation. Please note that although givv.org is set up for monthly donations, you can make a one-time donation of any amount.

Or send any donation of value, your check, money order made out to BERNARD and mailed to:

Evansville. IN. 47715

Also write to Bernard c/o Editor@LibertyDollar.org.

Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul this unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of statesmanship. – Theodore Roosevelt (courtesy Jesse Ventura, 63 Documents the Government Doesn't Want You to Read)
