Movie Review: Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)

1936 novel set in London is strangely modern (8/10)

PettigrewDelysia: [during an air-raid drill] Guinevere, I’m scared!
Guinevere Pettigrew: It’s just a drill, I’m sure it’s just a drill.
Delysia: But it won’t always be, will it? We’re going to war, aren’t we?
Guinevere Pettigrew: Yes we are. And that is why you must not waste a second of this precious life. Listen to me. Once I too had ambitions. Not your grand ones, simple ambitions. Marriage, children and a house of our own. He died, in the mud in France. A good, solid man. You would call him dull, no doubt, but he smiled whenever he saw me and we could’ve built a life on that. Your heart knows the truth, Delysia. Trust it.

What a phrase, “… but he smiled whenever he saw me and we could have built a life on that.” Uttered by Guinevere Pettigrew (Frances McDormand) to her strangely acquired mistress for a day, Delysia (Amy Adams), it comes toward the end of the movie in the context of an adoring piano player Michael (Lee Pace) proposing to Delysia that she accompany him to New York for song and marriage.

Guest Column: Howard Beale…

The last sane man in America
by Jon Rappoport, Nomorefakenews.com, June 6, 2015

tv-head-propaganda-300x225“The media have substituted themselves for the older world… The new media are not bridges between man and nature —they are nature… The new media are not ways of relating us to the old world; they are the real world and they reshape what remains of the old world at will… In television, images are projected at you. You are the screen. The images wrap around you. You are the vanishing point… The whole tendency of modern communication… is towards participation in a process, rather than apprehension of concepts. (Marshall McLuhan)

The best film ever made about television’s war on the population is Paddy Chayefsky’s scorching masterpiece, Network (1976). Yet it stages only a few minutes of on-air television. Continue reading

Movie Review: 1971 (2014)

PBS Documentary will have you on the edge of your national security state

1971The story of a notorious 1971 activist burglary of an FBI office that lead to exposing the Bureau’s numerous abuses against dissidents.

“In 1971, long before Edward Snowden’s revelations of NSA surveillance, a group of [young antiwar activist] citizens broke into a small FBI office in Pennsylvania, took every file, and shared them with the public. Their actions exposed the FBI’s illegal surveillance program of law-abiding Americans. Now for the first time, these anonymous Americans who risked everything share their story publicly.”

This movie is a white-knuckle ride through late 1960s and early 1970s America, when brutal national-security-state fascism was no longer a dream of the power elite… it was a stark reality. Thanks to the War in Vietnam and the militaristic regime of Richard Milhouse Nixon, millions of young Americans had to face the grim reality that, as John Lennon put it, the world was indeed “being run by insane men for insane purposes.” Continue reading

Guest Column: Canada Bans Charlie Hebdo Author

Denied entry into Canada due to hot-potato Charlie Hebdo book

hebdo-barrettby Kevin Barrett,  Veterans Today Editor

This Friday, after preaching a sermon to 400 people at the Wayne State University mosque in Detroit, I attempted to enter Canada.

The subject of my sermon was “truth vs. hypocrisy.” I urged Muslims to defeat the war on Islam – a genocide campaign that has taken the lives of at least four million Muslims since 1990 – by exposing the truth about the false flag operations that created and sustain it.

The mother of all false flags was 9/11. And the biggest recent one was Charlie Hebdo – a Mossad-DCCI joint operation in Paris last January 7th. Continue reading

Brian’s Column: Doreen’s Status, Please Help

Doreen Hendrickson relief fund: http://gofundme.com/DoreenRelief

CtCOn April 11, 2015, Pete Hendrickson drove Doreen to the prison facility to begin her unconscionably severe 18-month sentence for refusing to obey a direct order from a federal judge that Doreen commit felony perjury on a tax affidavit. (Yes, it CAN and DID happen here.) Pete strenuously filed motions for ‘bond release until appeal’ to the sentencing judge, which judge vindictively ignored. Thus his wife and mother of two… and daughter and sister and dear friend to so many of us has taken up involuntary residence in the hills and hollars where world famous Martha Stewart did her time (though only for five months under ‘cupcake’ conditions… mainly because Martha did NOT refuse to lie to officials).

 [Doreen Hendrickson: 48564-039, FPC Alderson A-4, P.O. Box A, Alderson, WV 24910. She would love to hear from you. Personally, I’m mailing her a letter per week for however long it will be, we hope only a few more weeks when the appeal is successful, as our good ol’ Bill of Rights is invoked.] Continue reading

Guest Column: Sheriff ‘Stingray’ Bouchard

Asset Forfeiture King Mike ‘Stingray’ Bouchard Runs from Honest Debate
by Shane Trejo, The Detroit Constitutionalist [Original Here]

Bouchard_sans_SwastikaThroughout the country, Constitutional Sheriffs are popping up everywhere and unleashing a wave of resistance against unconstitutional federal power that hasn’t been seen in generations. Last year, We the People formed an impromptu volunteer militia that successfully warded off federal land barons at the Bundy Ranch. Thomas Jefferson’s rightful remedy, state nullification, is being utilized to stop federal tyranny more than any time in our nation’s history. Guns continue to fly off the shelves at a staggering, astronomical rate. These encouraging developments are a breath of fresh air for freedom-lovers across the country.

However, not every Sheriff is on board with protecting our Constitutional freedoms against unjust federal overreach. Many are lined up at the federal trough, hoping to get their hands on gifts and goodies to bolster their own illicit power. These oathbreakers are ecstatic to do the bidding of the feds and push us ever closer to police state tyranny. One of these shameful folks, I’m sad to say, is Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard.

Brian’s Column: Toto Worldwide Organization

Beist_SymbolEditor’s Note: The following is the second section of a three-section document that I’m assembling to prospect for a so-called ‘Toto’ organization that serves to bring truth and justice to the world… primarily by pulling back the curtain on the 9/11 attacks and other ‘high-crime assaults’ that have at their core a massive amount of deception. Although the first section of the prospectus represents several enhancements from the original two-sided ‘Project Toto’ document, it covers the same ground as that ‘Project Toto’ document, which is a former column at this location.

Toto Worldwide follows from the action concepts of my book, After 9/11 Truth, (A911T) which proposes a ‘Truth-Letter Closure’ (TLC) campaign by persons recruited from the general 9/11 Truth community—which sends templatized letters of appeal, one-by-one, to targeted ‘Respected Deniers’ (RDs) from a participant’s contacts. The object of a TLC message is threefold, to have the RD: Continue reading
