Innocents Betrayed Time 0:58
The original DVDs
of this documentary film come from the activist gun rights organization
"Jews For The Preservation Of Firearms Ownership" (JPFO).
Produced by Aaron Zelman, Innocents Betrayed demonstrates
the historical link between national gun control laws/gun confiscation
and major genocides of the 20th century. The film's production quality
is first rate, the historical examples are well documented, and the commentary
by Zelman and Stevens at the end of the film is outstanding. But
the documentary fails to hit a home run because the format is too rigid
and too repetitive in the early going. By the third or fourth example,
the genocides start to blur one into the other. While each historical
example of government killing its citizens is individually important, the
shock value begins to lessen after viewing nearly identical horrors one
after another. Perhaps the flow of the film might have been improved
if some discussion of modern day gun control issues, like what appeared
at the end of the film, had been interspersed throughout the film... or
maybe some additional commentary from other "heavy hitters" in the gun
rights movement could have provided more immediate context for each of
the genocides. In any case, it's a sobering documentary and a needed
addition to everyone's video library. Please note, at www.onedollardvdproject.com
the film goes under the name "Keep And Bear Arms" and is paired with various
other films as a "COMBO."

David Icke: Big Brother Time About 5 hours
David Icke is a tremendous researcher
and a talented and engaging speaker, an exceedingly rare individual who
can lecture for over two hours and keep an audience's attention riveted.
The first half of the DVD is a presentation given in July 2008 to a British
audience, and naturally some of the discussion centers on the role of the
British government in the global conspiracy. But Icke's speech really
appeals to everyone, no matter which corrupt government they are burdened
to live under. There is in depth discussion of the elite conspiracy
and how they have wrapped their tentacles around every facet of our life
and what they have planned for our future. Icke reveals several British
and American politician's links to the global surveillance industry and
to different secret societies. There are numerous picture slides
that provide good support to the talk. The disk unfortunately suffers
from poor video quality, image flickering and audio dropouts. Icke
illustrates the Hegelian dialectic as it is used by the elitists, politicians
and the banksters. The second half of the DVD is an older recording
of a seminar done by Icke in 1996 entitled "Turning of the Tide".
This presentation touches on many of the same subjects as the July 2008
talk, but drifts off into spiritual philosophy—interesting stuff, but
less effective as an educational tool than the July 2008 film. But
it is extraordinary to hear Icke accurately predicting what has
now become our reality more than a decade later. The poor video quality
is a detriment to comfortably viewing the film, but Icke's engaging stage
presence and talent at presenting key information and concepts in an easily
understandable presentation overcomes the audio-video blemishes.

Best Of Puppet Government Time 1:04
This is a "Best Of" collection of short videos available on youtube.com
that was put together by www.puppetgov.com.
There are about a dozen selections each running under ten minutes in length.
The first selection "Americans Apathetic To Reality" is a video
montage set to a stirring speech from the defense lawyer on the TV show
"Boston Legal". A George Carlin monologue entitled "Who
Owns You Americans" is a favorite that has been featured in several
different conspiracy films. Another "must see" video is a Billy Vegas
production entitled "The Militarization of Police", which is the
perfect "short" to show police state deniers. "American Warning"
documents the loss of our freedoms, and calls attention to FEMA recruiting
clergymen to assist them in quelling dissent during periods of martial
law. Following some extended oratory by Ron Paul, the video identifies
itself as a campaign promotion. "We Are The Ones" artfully
pairs the famous "Network" diatribe with vivid imagery of America's
descent into fascism, but the film spends proportionately too much of its
time on some unusual wildlife film footage from the Serengeti plains.
"How You Ended The War" covers Bush/Cheney WMD lies and other sins
from the left/antiwar viewpoint . "False Flags, Lies and Nukes"
is a better crafted segment covering similar issues. In all, these videos
are very useful to raise awareness with people who don't want to invest
hours to watch one of the feature length conspiracy videos.

Judge Andrew Napolitano Time 1:41
With FOX News featuring the likes of paid shills Bill O'Reilly, Sean
Hannity and Glen Beck, there is virtually no reason for anyone to
tune in to that US Empire Cheerleading Network if they are interested in
real news. So how on earth did a true maverick like Judge
Andrew Napolitano end up with quality airtime on Rupert Murdoch's globalist
propaganda mill?? It is a shock to hear a judge, any judge, talking
coherently about the Constitution...let alone the fedgov's chronic violations
of its articles and clauses. Judge Napolitano is clearly a believer
in limited government and the DVD will appeal to like minded individuals.
And yet one wonders if Napolitano's sharp legal mind has ever encountered
Lysander Spooner's treatise No
Treason No. VI: The Constitution of No Authority (1870)? Or
how he would respond in a debate about the legitimacy of government with
attorney Marc Stevens of The
No State Project? Now that would make for an interesting
video! ...but I digress. The DVD has eight selections, about half
of which are thinly veiled promos for the Judge's books. There are
two half hour segments that are recordings of speeches given by Napolitano
for "Campaign For Liberty"
and "Reason TV." These are the real
highlights of the DVD, where Napolitano says things that he couldn't get
away with on the Faux News Channel. Nevertheless, the best reason
to have this disk is to be able to spark some independent thinking among
the masses who won't believe anything unless it's from the mainstream media.
