9/11 IN PLANE SITE, DAVE VONKLIEST A Power Hour Production

IF A PHOTOGRAPH SPEAKS A THOUSAND WORDS WHAT DOES VIDEO SAY?

What "911 In Plane Site" accomplishes that no other video expose' on September 11th has to date, is it exposes the viewer to a barrage of news clips from a majority of the mainstream news outlets. The official story of that day was told on live TV by reporters, policemen, firefighters, and other on-the-scene eyewitnesses, however, that footage was shown only once on live television broadcasts in the first hours of the attacks and then... it was never repeated. The stories changed, information was enigmatically omitted, and what can only be described as officially prescribed propaganda took the place of indisputable reality.

INVISIBLE BALLOTS, G. EDWARD GRIFFIN A Temptation for Electronic Vote Fraud

"Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything." - Anonymous Governments are installing computerized voting systems with no paper record to verify accuracy. Elections will be controlled by companies that do not allow voters to inspect their software. If vote counting becomes privatized, there may be no way to get it back. High-tech vote fraud is already a reality. If you value your vote, you absolutely must get this information to your friends - and fast.

AMERICA'S CHOICE: LIBERTY OR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Five experts on environmental science and politics expose what has been called the greatest weapon of mass destruction of our time. It is the elimination of personal freedom under the banner of sustainable development. Michael Shaw, an ecologist and founding member of Freedom 21 Santa Cruz, Michael Coffman, President of Environmental Perspectives, Michael Chapman, of the American Heritage Research Group, Beverly Eakman, author of Cloning of the American Mind, Tom DeWeese, President of the American Policy Center, This seminar is loaded with information you can use to help others see through the environmental smokescreen called sustainable development.

SUNSET HILLS LAND GRAB-A COMMUNITY SPEAKS OUT

Hear the testimonies of one Missouri community speaking out against eminent domain abuse, a problem facing many communities all across the country.

RUNNING AGAINST DICK, DAN BYINGTON

The strangest David and Goliath story in American politics! In the heart of America, an average Joe decides to run for congress on a third party ticket. The only problem: he is running against Dick Gephardt and has no campaign war chest. A satirical look at American democracy from an immigrant's perspective.

JUNK SCIENCE, JOHN STOSSEL

Because of "junk science," government bureaucracies gain more power, millions of dollars are squandered, useful products are forced off the market, and many people are wrongly imprisoned, ABC TV's John Stossel shows in this controversial report. Junk science begins with scientists, but it isn't all their fault, he says. His cameras reveal how bureaucrats twist the truth to protect their turf, activists twist it to fit their agendas, lawyers to win cases, and the media for higher ratings.

JOHN STOSSEL GOES TO WASHINGTON A Consumer Report on Government

Nobody, not even Milton Friedman in his epic Free to Choose TV series, has done a more dramatic job than John Stossel making the case for liberty against government power. There's the rapid-action sequence showing how ordinary people are hit with taxes from the moment they get up in the morning, first electricity taxes (their alarm clock), phone taxes (7 of them), water taxes, gas taxes, car taxes, grocery taxes, employment taxes, cable TV taxes, sin taxes (alcoholic beverages), property taxes and marriage penalties. A shocking sequence about government horrors like forest fires set by the Department of the Interior, government housing projects being blown up because they got to be so bad in just a few years, federal agents smashing into private homes, and countries with which we're at peace blasted by American bombing raids (jump cut to Bill Clinton saying "we need more of these"). You see Indians, blacks, poor people, all kinds of people providing heartfelt testimony about how government compulsion has messed up their lives, and then Washington officials confess how they lost, actually lost, billions of taxpayer dollars in the process. Finally, you see how private companies and associations do a great job providing water, roads, air traffic control, poor relief and other services we supposedly need government for. Spectacular!

MICHAEL AND ME, LARRY ELDER

Michael & Me is as impassioned--and just as loaded--as Michael Moore's Oscar-winning documentary Bowling for Columbine, a film to which nationally syndicated radio and TV talk show Larry Elder takes great exception. Through interviews with gun-control critics, Second Amendment proponents, and just "normal" and "responsible" people, Elder makes an emotional and provocative case for "personal responsibility" and an ordinary citizen's right to own a gun for self defense. Many Americans own firearms, don't support additional gun control laws, live in one of some 34 states that allow citizens to carry concealed weapons, and support the Second Amendment. This film speaks to them. For these people, this film might be "The Passion"... of the Second Amendment.

WAR & PEACE TRILOGY, INDY MEDIA WITH AMY GOODMAN

Independent Media In A Time Of War: Part scathing critique, part call to action, Democracy Now! Host Amy Goodman argues that dialogue is vital to a healthy democracy.

Voices Against War: Chronicles the experiences of "ordinary" people on the streets of Manhattan as they joined millions around the globe in "The World Says No To War" protests.

Women's Fast For Peace: With the invasion of Iraq, more than 125 women in upstate New York fasted to create a culture of peace rather than of war.

WAR ON DRUGS, JOHN STOSSEL Drug prohibition worse than drugs themselves

It took courage for Stossel and his associates to launch this extraordinarily dramatic attack on drug prohibition, considering the political power of prohibitionists today. This new video may be the most effective tool to show people the evils of the war on drugs. You see how legalizing drugs in Europe has reduced the scope of the drug problem, cut crime and reduced assaults on our civil liberties. Drug prohibition, Stossel shows, is worse than the drugs themselves.

FREEDOM FORCE, THE ULTIMATE SOLUTION, G.EDWARD GRIFFIN

It makes no difference how informed we are if we do nothing about it. Knowledge is useless unless we USE it to acquire power. The day of the armchair patriot is over! If you are tired of complaining about world problems and want to know what can be DONE about them, you will be enthralled with this presentation. The answer is so simple it will astound you that no one has thought of it before. This is the solution we have been waiting for.

BULLSHIT, PENN & TELLER

Penn and Teller can be abrasive and obnoxious but they are also quite rational and extremely funny. The BS series looks at a wide range of pop culture phenomena and debunks them from a rational point of view. They do so with humor and an intense, biting sarcasm directed at those who would harm others. To those who are merely acting foolishly or exhibiting bad judgment, they are slightly kinder.
