@dustcirclenews - DOCUMENTARIES: How the US Government Rules the World, Great Financial Crisis, Cancer's Forbidden Cures, US History Crash Course, Slavery by Consent, Is Exorcism Real? Global Graffiti, Iraq's Secret War Files, Nuclear Waste Disposal Dilemma, Can Hackers Be Heroes?


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 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

Wikileaks: How the United States Government Runs the World
Wikileaks has risen to fame when it leaked the highly private series of conversations between the US government and its diplomats stationed all over the world. It’s not yet clear how the security was breached but everybody is more interested to know the secret thoughts of those people in power in Washington. The series of leaks revealed the hidden intention and action of those people with power to protect their own interests.


The Great Financial Crisis: Explanations and Trend PredictionsIt’s not without a doubt that America is currently experiencing one of the greatest financial crises of its history. Some experts say that the worst has passed and that the country’s economy is slowly gaining its ground. For those people who invested in stocks and mutual funds, the crisis is still not over. This documentary carefully studies the events that triggered the crisis and the possible aftermath of this in the future.


Cancer: The Forbidden Cures
Over the last century, several natural cancer treatments have been developed and used to treat patients in the US and in other developed countries.



















Crash Course: US History
John talks about the Native Americans who lived in what is now the US prior to European contact. The Spanish have a long history with the natives of the Americas, and not all of it was positive.



















Slavery by Consent
This documentary highlights the nature and history of our enslavement, the absurdity of an all-powerful governing (controlling) class to a free human race and the philosophy of liberty which we all need to adopt if we are to ever be a free species on this planet living in balance with the natural world.



















IS IT REAL? Exorcism
This documentary goes over the real story behind the 1973 horror film ‘The Exorcist’. Meet some of the people who claim to have exorcised evil spirits from their victims, objects, places and animals. The episode also reveals the likely explanations for the behavior of those suspected of being possessed.



Bomb It – Global Graffiti

Through interviews and guerrilla footage of graffiti writers in action on 5 continents, BOMB IT tells the story of graffiti from its origins in prehistoric cave paintings thru its notorious explosion in New York City during the 70′s and 80′s, then follows the flames as they paint the globe. Featuring old school legends and current favorites such as Taki 183, Cornbread, Stay High 149, T-Kid, Cope 2, Zephyr, Revs, Os Gemeos, KET, Chino, Shepard Fairey, Revok, and Mear One. This cutting edge documentary tracks down today’s most innovative and pervasive street artists as they battle for control over the urban visual landscape. You’ll never look at public space the same way again.



IRAQ’S SECRET WAR FILES (2010)

The only TV doc to have advance access to the biggest Wikileaks release ever. This is what really happened during the Iraq war, not what the US PR machine of the time wanted us to believe. The reality behind the civilian death count; al-Qaeda’s fictitious presence; torture, torture and more torture. A wall of truth revealing unprecedented levels of unwarranted aggression.


DISPOSAL DILEMMA – NUCLEAR WASTE

How to dispose of nuclear waste is an issue that’s divided opinion for years. And as the world’s most dangerous waste takes thousands of years to become safe, it’s a debate that’s not going to go away.


CAN HACKERS BE HEROES?

Some define hacking as “finding creative solutions to technical problems.” To them, hacking means having an exploratory mindset about technology, and a willingness to “get under the hood” to tinker and see what happens. Other groups, like Anonymous, employ more subversive hacking practices to forward social and political causes, embedding a social consciousness into the traditionally murky dark-side of security hacking. Looking beyond the media hype and scare tactics, it is clear that “hacking” is a term whose meaning should be up for debate, and that some hackers could in fact be heroes, and not just villains.
