Julian Assange Thank You Speech Behind Harrods




The Vienna Convention is the single most subscribed to convention on the planet. For William Hague to threaten tiny Ecuador and persecuted Julian while the controlled media are silent over whistleblowers is a disgusting, and evidence that this is a fight for change that will result in the change we demand.

The media is bent, the judiciary is bent, the police are bent and there's no need to provide words for government. Both sides are on the same team. When it matters, where it matters there's no difference. The rest is cosmetics for superficial people to feast on.

Thanks to Vivienne Westwood for standing up against the establishment and of course the indefatigable Tariq Ali who has put in decades of service to humanity.

Huge thanks to Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Columbia, El Salvador, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru and Venezuela for protesting against Julian's persecution. Shame on the US, Canada, Australia and all the greedily developed nations for having no moral foundation.


30 Minutes To Settle The JFK Conspiracy Question




This uses the science of luminography or light in photography. If this doesn't persuade you that vast conspiracies can and do happen I'll leave you alone. You don't even need to watch all 40 minutes but it's so compelling (and so unusual in its conclusions) that as I just found it I wish to share it.

You may even know about all this because I've never been all that interested in conspiracies so excuse me if I'm a little excited about this one. The point is that if this is a valid objection to the controlled media's view. What else needs investigation. My answer is there's a lot but never so much I'll walk away from it. No chance.

BBC's Adam Curtis - Century Of The Self





This is about how those in power have used Freud’s theories to try and control the dangerous crowd in an age of mass democracy. Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, changed the perception of the human mind and its workings profoundly.
His influence on the 20th century is widely regarded as massive. The documentary describes the impact of Freud’s theories on the perception of the human mind, and the ways public relations agencies and politicians have used this during the last 100 years for their engineering of consent. Among the main characters are Freud himself and his nephew Edward Bernays, who was the first to use psychological techniques in advertising. He is often seen as the father of the public relations industry.
Freud’s daughter Anna Freud, a pioneer of child psychology, is mentioned in the second part, as well as Wilhelm Reich, one of the main opponents of Freud’s theories. Along these general themes, The Century of the Self asks deeper questions about the roots and methods of modern consumerism, representative democracy and its implications. It also questions the modern way we see ourselves, the attitude to fashion and superficiality.
Happiness Machines. Part one documents the story of the relationship between Sigmund Freud and his American nephew, Edward Bernays who invented Public Relations in the 1920s, being the first person to take Freud’s ideas to manipulate the masses.
The Engineering of Consent. Part two explores how those in power in post-war America used Freud’s ideas about the unconscious mind to try and control the masses. Politicians and planners came to believe Freud’s underlying premise that deep within all human beings were dangerous and irrational desires.
There is a Policeman Inside All of Our Heads, He Must Be Destroyed. In the 1960s, a radical group of psychotherapists challenged the influence of Freudian ideas, which lead to the creation of a new political movement that sought to create new people, free of the psychological conformity that had been implanted in people’s minds by business and politics.
Eight People Sipping Wine In Kettering. This episode explains how politicians turned to the same techniques used by business in order to read and manipulate the inner desires of the masses. Both New Labor with Tony Blair and the Democrats led by Bill Clinton, used the focus group which had been invented by psychoanalysts in order to regain power.
