Danny Schechter's IN DEBT WE TRUST — A MUST SEE DVD!
Emmy-winning journalist Danny Schechter investigates America’s mounting debt crisis in his latest hard-hitting expose, IN DEBT WE TRUST: America Before the Bubble Bursts. This film reveals the unknown cabal of credit card companies, lobbyists, media conglomerates and the Bush administration itself who have colluded to deregulate the lending industry—ensuring that a culture of credit dependency can flourish.
Many Americans are “maxing out” on credit cards, living beyond their means, and are unable to make the minimum monthly payments. While these Americans struggle to manage their debt, there is a much deeper story at work: power is shifting into fewer hands with frightening consequences. Schechter exposes the hidden financial and political complex that allows the lowest wage earners to indebt themselves so heavily that even house repossessions are commonplace—dubbed “21st-century serfdom” by an expert featured in the film.

This book is illustrated with a mixture of engravings, contemporary art, and photography, all of which expand upon and illuminate the writing.

ABOUT DISINFORMATION
Launched on September 13, 1996 Disinformation as the search service of choice for individuals looking for information on current affairs, politics, new science and the "hidden information" that seldom seems to slip through the cracks of the corporate-owned media conglomerates. Ironically, it was funded by one of the largest media companies in the world (TeleCommunications, Inc. (TCI), now part of Comcast).
The site drew immediate attention and (usually) applause from the very same news media that it was criticizing as being under the influence of both government and big business, but the honeymoon was short. Some three weeks after launch the CEO of TCI learned of Disinformation and immediately ordered it closed down. Needless to say, the founding team managed to keep the site going, and it has evolved into a popular alternative news and underground culture destination with thriving publishing and home video divisions.
While many of our projects are deemed 'liberal' or 'progressive' that doesn't mean we close our minds to ideas that are called 'conservative' — far from it. How can someone be truly well informed with only half the story? In the years since we launched the site in 1996 it has gone through several design and editorial changes, evolving from a specialized Web search directory to an original content (text and video) destination to the current format of the most important daily news and information links carefully selected from the "noise" that clutters up the web. The site also has a deep archive of opinion and editorial articles featuring original Disinformation interviews and reporting, plus community areas for users to find other users, post comments and chat about the issues presented on the site and other topics of importance to our community. We also welcome your feedback and of course encourage you to load up on Disinformation goodies in our store.

December 21, 2012: the end date of the sophisticated Long Count Calendar created by the ancient Maya in Central America. Countless books and websites, magazine articles and newspaper headlines debate its meaning, with enthusiasts in two camps: those forecasting apocalypse — the end of time — and those who see a coming renewal, a rebirth of consciousness. Adding fuel to the debate, some scientists see the increasing number of natural disasters in recent years as evidence of a catastrophic climax of events in 2012. How much of what we're hearing is science and how much is superstition? In this film the leading researchers, writers and scientists in the field tell us exactly what this date means to them, why it's important, and what we should expect.

Elephas maximus (baleful trumpeting from beneath the GOP big tent)
When Supreme Party Leader Limbaugh said: “Barack Obama is nothing more than an old school African Colonial who is on his way to turning this country into one of the developing nations that you learn about on the National Geographic Channel, meaning he wants to turn this into a Third World country”, he meant for his words to echo up and down Main and Wall Streets. Rush, in making this statement, is throwing down a gauntlet for all Republicans to pickup upon. He is especially telling nouveau conservatives that the only way we can regain our power to control America is to make Obama fail. We must cause America fall into deep financial malaise. Our goal is to achieve a morass greater than the Great Depression. This way, American voters in 2012 will vote GOP, GOP and more GOP. All hail our Supreme Party Leader and his all out plans to cause President Barack to fail! All hail our new Grand Old Party on this Independence Day!

The world is a mess. It’s constantly at war, things cost too much and the average person struggles to survive against powers it can barely see, let alone control. It appears so at odds with common sense, in fact, that it begs a fundamental question: Who really runs the world? This book looks at the conspiracies in everyday life, both hidden and not-so-hidden. It examines actual people, businesses, social networks, corporate alliances and the dark forces of conspiracy and secret history that hold them together.
Forget the neoconservatives. As the Democrats retake Washington and progressives think they can pull the U.S. back from the brink, Stephen Marshall (Sundance-award winning director and co-founder of Guerrilla News Network) finds that the biggest threat to Western democracy is the U.S. liberal elite. He hits the road and travels from the front lines of the Iraq War, through the wasteland of the former communist Eastern bloc, into a coke-dusted sex party of Britain’s intellectual elite — and finds that American liberals have dumped the ’60s era radicalism of their youth and become complicit in a complex game of bait and switch, selling the world a vision of liberal democracy in which they, in fact, no longer believe.
You are being watched. Really. More and more prying eyes see everything you do. This isn’t just the plot line from TV’s 24 – our government is truly tightening its grip on us by watching and recording nearly everything we do. They are doing so because they know they can and because knowledge is power. But exactly who are “they” and why do they want to know so much about us? This book includes chilling, accurate and up-to-date descriptions of the methods the government (and private company proxies) uses to watch us. Essential reading for everyone concerned about privacy and freedoms of speech and association, even – perhaps especially – if you don’t plan on doing anything wrong.
Iran's President Ahmadinejad shocked the world when he described the Holocaust as a myth and called for Israel to be "wiped off the map." Could Iran build and use nuclear weapons? How would we be affected if Iran cut off oil supplies? Many see Iran as part of the "axis of evil," and America is not alone in arguing that it presents a huge danger. But is Iran really the rabid Islamic dog that some paint it? Or is it in fact the most prosperous, sophisticated, cultured nation in the Middle East, despite its president's belligerence? This book gives you the facts and lets you form your own opinion.
December 21, 2012: the end date of the sophisticated Long Count Calendar created by the ancient Maya in Central America. Countless books and websites, magazine articles and newspaper headlines debate its meaning, with enthusiasts in two camps: those forecasting apocalypse — the end of time — and those who see a coming renewal, a rebirth of consciousness. Adding fuel to the debate, some scientists see the increasing number of natural disasters in recent years as evidence of a catastrophic climax of events in 2012. How much of what we're hearing is science and how much is superstition? In this film the leading researchers, writers and scientists in the field tell us exactly what this date means to them, why it's important, and what we should expect.
A feature-length documentary which chronicles the life and work of Alan Moore, author of several acclaimed graphic novels, including From Hell, Watchmen and V for Vendetta. It is the only feature film production on which Alan Moore has collaborated, with permission to use his work. In this 2 DVD set with over three hours of bonus material, Alan Moore presents the story of his development as an artist, starting with his childhood and working through to his comics career and impact on that medium, and his emerging interest in magic.
Narrated by Sean Penn and based on the work of media critic and best-selling author Norman Solomon, who traveled with Penn to Baghdad just before the war to call attention to the dangers of a U.S. invasion, WAR MADE EASY reaches into the Orwellian memory hole to expose 50 years of government spin and media collusion that has dragged our country into one war after another from Vietnam to Iraq. With remarkable archival footage of official distortion and exaggeration from LBJ to George W. Bush, the documentary exposes how presidential administrations of both parties have relied on a combination of deception and media complicity to sell one war after another to the American people.
Every election year, we hear much about the all-powerful "bases" of each major party. Who are these activists? What drives them? And why are they all equally dangerous to our lives, liberties, and pursuits of happiness?
This massive book systematically reveals the distortions, myths, and utter weirdness that have been shoved down our throats by organized religions of all stripes, including Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, new religions, and others who want to keep their lucrative franchises intact. Master anthologist RUSS KICK has assembled an unprecedented arsenal of writers, reporters, and researchers to invade the inner sanctum for an unrestrained look at the wild and wooly world of organized belief: Richard Dawkins shows us the strange, scary properties of religion; Neil Gaiman turns a biblical atrocity story into a comic (that almost sent a publisher to prison); Douglas Rushkoff tells us why traditional Judaism is facing a self-imposed death sentence; Erik Davis looks at what happens when religion and California collide; H.G. Wells has Jesus of Nazareth discuss his failure; Greta Christina gives us comforting thoughts about death that have nothing to do with God; Paul Krassner reveals his “Confessions of an Atheist”; Found Magazine compiles its greatest religious hits; Nasrin Alavi looks at Iranian blogs for the possibility of an Islamic Reformation; and much more!
