There’s not much to be said about Metanoia’s “Psywar” except that it bears watching. A history of the public relations industry, this outstanding documentary explores the highly deleterious impact of organized and well-funded propaganda efforts on a would-be democratic society.

Above, Michael Moore briefly discusses flack he allegedly received over his treatment of Democratic Senator Christopher Dodd in his most recent film, “Capitalism: A Love Story.” Mr. Moore may not have done outstanding work in his 9/11 and Columbine movies — despite being one of the first mainstream anti-Iraq war movies, “Fahrenheit 9/11″ barely scratched the surface with regard to the inside job that was September 11th, and “Bowling for Columbine” was way off-base in many respects — but this one was pretty good, all things considered. Below is the trailer.
Just before this one, Moore made another excellent film, “Sicko,” about the financing and accessibility of the U. S. medical care system versus health care in other countries including Canada, the UK and France. Below is its trailer.
Barrie Zwicker’s “The Great Conspiracy: The 9/11 News Special You Never Saw” is a nice overview of the reasons to doubt the official story of the 9/11 attacks. Here is some additional information on Philip Zelikow, executive director of the 9/11 Commission and a member of the Clinton-Bush transition team. It should also be noted that 1998, the year that Zelikow’s “Catastrophic Terrorism” was published, was also the year that the neocons’ Project for the New American Century group was beginning its push on Bill Clinton to attack Iraq and essentially begin the so-called “War on Terror” at that time.
