Lost Forever(the power of outsourcing)

We’ve entered a era where the United States will see more frequent recessions than anyone is used to,(lost of jobs)
The business elite in America are greedy and ruthless. The interests of the rich in America are linked to those of the rich in other nations, it is a corrupting process that keeps wages low and profits high all over the world. Big business in America, as in other democracies, owns politicians. In fact both Democrats and Republicans are beholden to the wealthy.

BP (formerly British Petroleum) has become one of the world’s most controversial giant corporations because of its involvement in a series of major environmental disasters and industrial accidents. The company has been the target of intense criticism for its role in the April 2010 explosion at a drilling platform in the Gulf of Mexico that killed 11 workers and unleashed a vast underwater oil leak that has flowed largely unchecked for weeks.

Psychiatry: An Industry of Death

Follow the money.

Freedom to Fascism. Those that create and issue the money and credit direct the policies of government and hold in their hands the destiny of the people.

Monopoly Men.War against a foreign country only happens when the moneyed classes think they are going to profit from it.

Monopoly Men. Our system of electing politicians to office is rotten and corrupted to its core, because organized money has long since replaced organized people as the author of our politics. And most of it comes from rich people and corporations, who now own our political process—lock, stock, and pork barrel. Money becomes evil not when it is used to buy goods but when it is used to buy power, Government by organized money is just as dangerous as government by organized mob.

Outfoxed

Outfoxed. “Outfoxed” examines whether and how media empires, led by Rupert Murdoch?s Fox News, have an active campaign to misinform people for personal gain. This film provides an in-depth look at Fox News and the dangers of ever-enlarging corporations taking control of the public?s right to know.

Robert Greenwald?s film explores Murdoch?s burgeoning kingdom and the impact on society when a broad swath of media is controlled by one person. Media experts, including Jeff Cohen (FAIR) Bob McChesney (Free Press), Chellie Pingree (Common Cause), Jeff Chester (Center for Digital Democracy) and David Brock (Media Matters) provide context and guidance for the story of Fox News and its effect on society.

This documentary also reveals the secrets of Former Fox news producers, reporters, bookers and writers who expose what it?s like to work for Fox News. These former Fox employees talk about how they were forced to push a “right-wing” point of view or risk their jobs. Some have even chosen to remain anonymous in order to protect their current livelihoods. As one employee said “There?s no sense of integrity as far as having a line that can?t be crossed.”

Timothy Geithner

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said that America’s leadership on global financial matters was at stake in the Congressional debate. If we fail to act, America will lose this opportunity to set the global agenda, “If we fail to act, American firms that operate globally will face a more balkanized system.  Geithner urged lawmakers to “be careful whose voice you listen to” in deciding what provisions to support.  However,  The printed word in the form of “news” is propaganda disguised as fact…people can be made to see paradise as hell. Meanwhile, a fearful populace continues to surrender their civil rights and constitutional protections at an alarming rate, so that their government may protect them from the rampant criminality of the masses…..The forbidden truth is that we are living by a set of lies which are necessary for short-term profit,…
