How important is it you see these documentaries? It is not an exaggeration to say your life may depend on it.
Is your life really at risk? The answer is surprisingly easy to understand after watching these documentaries. Consider the young man in “Why We Fight” who joins the marines. He has certainly put his life in harms way. Others may die as a direct result of his actions. If he were better informed maybe he would have made a different decision.
There are many risks we all must face, and many of these risks are as man-made as war. The first step in protecting one’s self is in understanding. Much of the nasty things that happen in this world, like say Global Warming, wouldn’t be allowed to happen if people were better informed.
Money As Debt
All money in this world is created as debt, with interest attached. The system was created hundreds of years ago to serve the elite. Why did governments give the right to create money away to private banks?

The Corporation
This documentary looks at the most powerful entity of our time: the corporation. Corporations affect every aspect of our lives, often in negative ways.
Manufacturing Consent
Based on the book by Noam Chomsky. In Manufacturing Consent Chomsky shows how the media has more than failed to keep the public informed. The corporate controlled media has not only distracted the public with meaningless stories (e.g. Paris Hilton and O.J. Simpson), the media has actively misinformed the public. Here is just one of many examples.
Why We Fight

Sicko

The Power of Nightmares
From the BBC, discusses how politicians use terrorism and fear as a way to control populations. With much help from the media, the terrorism threat has been greatly exaggerated.
People are generally good - generally. But approximately 1 person in 100 does not have a conscience. Someone like Dick Cheney knows to say that he cares about the troops, but he does not even know how to care or what it even really means. There are people in this world who will do anything to rise up in the ranks of power. To understand that some people are simply dangerous and that they should never be trusted read “Without Conscience” by Robert Hare.
