@dustcirclenews - Free DOCUMENTARIES: Counter-Intelligence Series, Parts 1-5 - The Company, The Deep State, The Strategy of Tension, Necrophilous, Drone Nation


Some emails don't show videos. Watch the videos at: http://www.dustcircle.com

Counter-Intelligence

It is no secret that CIA is engaged in criminal activities around the world, some of which are quite deadly, some of which are quite provocative in the sense of laying the groundwork for large scale military conflict, and it’s happening in a lot of countries. This is not unique to the United States. The United States learned some of this from the British who learned it in turn during the 19th century when they were a dominant imperial power around the world. They cut their teeth on this stuff.
Part 1: The Company

Part 2: The Deep State

Part 3: The Strategy of Tension

Part 4: Necrophilous

The Video-related content I send out will have a link to the website so you can view the videos, instead of seeing just a list: http://www.dustcircle.com
Operation Paperclip: The CIA and the Nazis
Operation Paperclip was the code name under which the U.S. intelligence and military services extricated scientists from Germany, during and after the final stages of World War II. The project was originally called Operation Overcast, and is sometimes also known as Project Paperclip.


Within Gaza: Life in Palestine

Press TV’s documentary program series “Within Gaza” looks into the horrific humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip after recurrent Israeli offensives.


Fight The New World Order w/Global Non-Compliance
“Understand your enemy, and understand the weapons they use. Then use those same weapons against them. The money system is the head of the snake. Cut the head off the snake and the rest of it will whither and die. There need be no violence, no guns, no banners, no slogans, no Groupthink, just a united act of global non-compliance.


THE FUTURE OF WEARABLE TECHNOLOGYAs computing moves from our desktops to our phones, we look into the future to see how technology will become increasingly ingrained in our movements and our active lives. From the Nike Fuelband to Google Glass, consumers are already seeing hints of the future of wearable devices. They have the possibility to make us more knowledgeable about ourselves and our surroundings, and connect us with each other in an uninterrupted, more intimate way. From DIY wearables to high-tech sensors and smart fabrics, the years ahead will show how integrated technology can impact our lives for the better.


ADDICTED TO PLEASURE
Actor Brian Cox reveals the rich and controversial past of sugar, alcohol, tobacco and opium to uncover how the commercial exploitation of these products hooked the world.


PANOPTICON
Control on our daily lives increases and privacy is disappearing. How is this exactly happening and in which way will it effect all our lives? A film about the rise of the surveillance state into your life.

Hajj to Mecca: The World’s Biggest Annual Religious Gathering RevealedMecca, the birthplace of Islam, is the venue for one of the world’s biggest religious gathering. The Hajj is the ultimate act of devotion for the 1.2 billion people who practice Islam. It is an annual pilgrimage that is one of the 5 religious duties that every Muslim should perform. The event signifies solidarity and one’s submission to Allah as depicted by prophets Ibrahim and Muhammad.


AMERICA’S WAR GAMESThe United States’ military expenditures today account for about 40 percent of the world total. In 2012, the US spent some $682bn on its military – an amount more than what was spent by the next 13 countries combined.


The Art of Deception
In an academic environment, a paper must have detailed references according to a set of university standards, but in a film, anything goes. The Art of Deception is an explanation of how a documentary is constructed to communicate truth, brainwash the audience and push an agenda.



















CIA SECRET EXPERIMENTS
It’s the height of the Cold War and the United States government is desperate to combat the spread of Communism. The CIA launches a highly classified, top secret research program into the covert use of biological and chemical agents. In simulated attacks on enemy populations, entire cities in America are contaminated with bacteria, exposing millions of Americans to germ warfare. But the real focus of the research is on mastering the art of mind control. Psychiatrists at top academic institutions work under secret contract with the agency. Psychiatric patients, prisoners, even unwitting members of the public are exposed to a startling array of experiments designed to facilitate interrogations, induce amnesia and program in new behavior. Every psychological technique is explored, including hypnosis, electroshock therapy and lethal cocktails of drugs. What was the extent of these brainwashing experiments? How did the CIA become involved in such far-reaching and disturbing research? Join us as National Geographic presents: CIA Secret Experiments.

9/11: 10 YEARS LATER
Eight months before the September 11, 2001 attacks, Lyndon LaRouche forecast that the United States was at high risk for a Reichstag Fire event, an event that would allow those in power to manage through dictatorial means an economic and social crisis that they were otherwise incompetent to handle. We are presently living in the unbroken wake of that history.

HY.POTH.E.SIS
Hy.poth.e.sis is a documentary film that follows physics professor Steven E. Jones during a pivotal point in his life. In 2005, Steven went public with a controversial theory regarding the collapse of the World Trade Center on 9/11. His assertion that the collapse was likely the result of pre-positioned explosives rather than the hijacked planes resulted in a backlash from the community and even threatened his standing as a professor at BYU.

Syria: The Reckoning
This documentary tells the story of the past and brings it right up to the present to provide deeper historical context to the events of today as war continues to rage in Syria with the unleashing of many of the forces which had been previously repressed.



















CIA HIDDEN OPERATIONS
A National Geographic documentary on the CIA, the right hand tool, of the Military-Industrial Complex.

THE SPIES WHO FOOLED THE WORLD
On the eve of the tenth anniversary of the Iraq War, Panorama reveals how key aspects of the secret intelligence used by Downing Street and the White House to justify the invasion were based on fabrication, wishful thinking and lies. Peter Taylor tracks down some of those responsible and reports on the remarkable story of how, in the months before the war, two highly-placed sources – close to Saddam Hussein – talked secretly to the CIA and MI6. Their intelligence said Iraq did not have an active WMD programme – but it was simply dismissed.

Punch Drunk
In all, it is estimated that alcohol-related violence costs the community $187 million each year. Four Corners also reveals there’s a growing body of evidence that shows a link between binge drinking and brain damage.

Hello friends, supporters and newcomers! 
This is Steve, dustcircle.com's editor. 
Don't forget to subscribe to our updates on the website! 
Also, it has come to my attention that some of the VIDEO digests don't show some of the videos in the mailings. These are accessible on the website. The next VIDEOS emails I send out, I'll provide a link to the website so you can view the videos, instead of seeing just a list. 
I maintain the website mostly on my own, usually putting in a couple of hours per day on the digests, reading and sorting through websites and websites of news, picking and choosing the best and most relevant headlines for you all. 
If you've appreciated and have benefited from these mailings, use the WEPAY button on the website to donate any amount to the upkeep of the website, and to help offset the hours I put into this project. I'd thank you immensely. 
We have two relatively new sections to the website: REVIEWS and EBOOK. I am personally writing a book, of which I have a Facebook fan page for. LIKE the page, and I'll drop exclusive leaks on the book (Yes, free chapters). Also, if you yourself have written a book, I'd like to review it! See the above links for more information on these two matters. 
Again, thank you much for reading and participating in this website. I do it not for me, but for you. 
- Steve
