Shadows of Liberty | Opening
Documentary, UK 2012 A Film by Jean-Philippe Tremblay A Open Docfactory production International Sales: First Hand Films 90% of the media in the USA are controlled by five big for-profit-conglomerats, creating a media monopoly that manipulates our political, economical, and social world. Shadows of Liberty reveals the extraordinary truth behind the news media: censorship, cover-ups and corporate control. Filmmaker Jean-Philippe Tremblay takes an intrepid journey through the darker corridors of the American media landscape, where global conglomerates call the shots. For decades, their overwhelming influence has distorted news journalism and compromised its values. In highly revealing stories, renowned journalists, activists and academics give insider accounts of a broken media system. Controversial news reports are suppressed, people are censored for speaking out, and lives are shattered as the arena for public expression is turned into a private profit zone. Tracing the story of media manipulation through the years, Shadows of Liberty poses a crucial question: why have we let a handful of powerful corporations write the news? We #39;re left in no doubt - media reform is urgent and freedom of the press is fundamental. With Danny Glover, Julian Assange, Dan Rather, Roberta Baskin, and many others.From:FirstHandFilms1Views:2 0ratingsTime:03:05More inFilm Animation

Anonymous NullCrew - #FuckTheSystem.
Currently, we live in a world that we are constantly afraid to bring others into. All because the people whom are called terrorists, are the ones who control us. Raising false flags, to fund their wars. Supplying drug cartels with weapons, due to a bill being signed. Rights being removed. Censorship being supplied. Fuck The System, when the government lies. Fuck The System, when corporations opperate under the table. Fuck The System, when your insurance company refuses to pay the difference, due to greed. Fuck The System, when you have nothing left; due to a political giants actions. Fuck The System, when you are claimed a terrorist for practicing freedom of speech. So many reasons, to many to list; that is why we here at NullCrew have taken actions. People losing money, when we pay taxes. People losing freedom, for speaking their mind. People whom are suicidal, being shot by the cops; instead of attempting to help. These are all reasons that Fuck The System has always been so important to us. We should all be putting all of our differences aside for the bigger problems at hand, the fact that we are being brain washed. That we are being punished, having rights extinguished from the governments own fear. Anyone can make a difference, all it takes; is opinions to be announced. All it takes, is a strong will; and the ability to see through with what you do. We all want this change, more so then others; and this is OUR way or protesting. This is OUR way of speaking our minds ...From:AnonV5150Views:1 0ratingsTime:02:15More inNonprofits Activism

CPreports 11/14/12 - The Petraeus Affair, Chinese Internet Censorship, NOKIA Map App
The plot surrounding the Petraeus affair is thickening and is becoming ever more confusing. Former Gen. David Petraeus and his successor made a comedy of the military, when they helped a woman, who was deemed mentally unstable by a judge, in her bitter custody battle mdash; less than two weeks after the US was dealing with one of the worst terrorist attacks against its embassy in Lybia. Head of the CIA, Petraeus, and Gen. John Allen, the top military commander in Afghanistan, each wrote supportive letters to a judge on behalf of Natalie Khawam. Who on earth is Khawam you may ask?Khawam and her twin sister, Jill Kelley, are the focal points of the bizarre scandal that forced the married Petraeus to resign last weekend and has the two decorated commanders looking like fools. Defense officials and people close to Petraeus say neither he nor Allen had a romantic relationship with Kelley, a 37-year-old wife and mother, who is described as a prominent presence in military circles in Tampa, whatever tat means. She may also have been seen as a rival by Petraeus #39; biographer, Paula Broadwell, who sent supposedly sent Kelley a series of anonymous, harassing emails, which started an investigation that uncovered evidence of an affair between Petraeus and Broadwell. Really sounds like something from a Soap Opera...doesnt it? Chinese cyber police placed stricter controls on information distribution, to protect the political congress from prying cyber eyes.

Russia's political opposition is active on the Internet, but maybe not for long. A new youth protection law allows the blocking of websites - and that could take critical opposition sites off the web.

There are no photos, just uninspiring legal texts on zapret-info.gov.ru; it's an unspectacular website set up by Roskomnadzor, Russia's Federal Surveillance Service for Mass Media and Communications.

Since November 1, 2012, people can access the state agency's data bank to check which websites Russian authorities have blocked. Critics are describing the data base as a blacklist. For a time, authorities blocked access to a popular site called lurkmore.to, which describes itself as a humoristic encyclopedia of modern culture, folklore and sub-culture. The site, authorities argued, glorifies drug consumption. Following massive protest, the block was cancelled.

The list is supposed to include websites with content harmful to minors, along the lines of new legislation to protect children signed by President Vladimir Putin in summer. The law aims to help ban child pornography, drug-dealing or details on how to commit suicide from the Internet. "We have the right to protect our children," Putin told Russian TV.

A smokescreen?

The new law is controversial: the German parliament has already expressed its concern. A motion, proposed by the coalition parties and supported by the opposition Greens, was passed on Friday (09.11.2012), saying that a blacklist threatens to become "an instrument to limit freedom of expression and impose widespread censorship on the Internet."

The motion called on Chancellor Angela Merkel to demand greater democracy, rule of law and compliance with human rights in Russia when she meets President Putin.

The topic is also likely to be raised when German and Russian business people, lawmakers and civic groups come together for the 12th annual Petersburg Dialogue in Moscow, which starts on Wednesday (14.11.2012). Freedom of information on the Internet is on the agenda there.

Russia's new youth protection law allows for the blocking of websites. Sites set up by the political opposition may also be affected if their Internet Protocol (IP) addresses coincide with those of websites deemed a threat. In July 2012, authorities blocked access for hours to the website of the prominent Russian opposition activist Alexei Navalny. The Internet provider said it was because the site had the same IP address as an extremist site.
