Russia/Chechnya: Voices of Dissent




A documentary directed by Carlo Nero & produced by Vanessa Redgrave.
Runntime: 46:15


This documentary deals with the terrifying way that the former KGB (now FSB), used the Moscow apartment explosions and subsequent brutal invasion of Chechnya as a means to come to power in Russia, to suppress opposition and dissent in Russia, and how the Chechen experiment has caused acts of Terror to escalate.


The documentary is narrated by Vladimir Bukovsky, the heroic former Soviet dissident, and current Russian dissidents. Parallels are drawn with the Soviet Invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968 and how that was used to crush internal dissent. With the imprisonment and torture in psychiatric prisons of all those who fought valiantly to bring these injustices to the attention of the World.


Finally, this film is ultimately a testament to the multitude of brave and honest men and women who, over many years, have sacrificed their lives in the struggle for justice and freedom in Russia, Chechnya and all the former Soviet Republics, and the first Human Rights Organisations who helped them.

Leonard George Horowitz' Documentary: In Lies We Trust




Documentary: "In Lies We Trust: The CIA, Hollywood & Bioterrorism"

Runtime: 2:30:30

A documentary by

Leonard George Horowitz


An introduction to the movie taken from its official website: www.inlieswetrust.com



<< Hollywood films and health officials herald happy endings, but family and friends everywhere are ill and getting sicker, fatter, more depressed, and broke popping pills and paying medical bills. Now officials urge you to prepare for the worst bioterrorist attacks in history (aside from nuclear explosions, and escalating “natural” disasters). This controversial documentary produced by “World Leading Intellectual” and drug cartel critic, Dr. Leonard George Horowitz, exposes officials, corporations, and American intelligence agencies for historic devil-doing. This unique film takes you inside the policies, politics, and propaganda of genocide with a twist of humor. Horowitz exposes unprecedented fraud, malfeasance, and murder as a clear and present danger to you and your loved ones. In Lies We Trust examines the CIA’s direction of Hollywood, and modern medicine, and will have you rethinking their impacts on the way you think about current events, increasing threats of outbreaks, cancer, and AIDS. Where do you suppose skyrocketing rates of these and other modern plagues came from? This award-winning doctor advances compelling analyses of documents explaining our modern maladies as “socio-political impositions” not made in heaven. In Lies We Trust examines the military-medical-petrochemical-pharmaceutical profiteers behind medical madness; their political prostitutes, and shoddy scientists. Stunning evidence, including secreted interviews, explains why millions of innocent and gullible people worldwide have been killed, and billions more are now being frightened into drug addictions, side-effects, profitable illnesses, and premature death. Watch In Lies We Trust: The CIA, Hollywood & Bioterrorism to learn why your life is entrusted to Manchurian candidates who don’t even know how and why they aim to kill you. Horowitz brilliantly critiques the government’s new 24-hour television network and feature documentary, History of Bioterrorism, which is now broadcasting daily over the Dish Network. September has been declared “National Preparedness Month.” Officials say you must prepare for the worst bioterrorist attacks, yet they use fear and gross inaccuracies (propaganda) examined by Horowitz. This is choice edutainment for your informed decision-making. Dr. Horowitz generously donated this life-saving DVD for widespread free public distribution without copyright restrictions. Viewers are encouraged to make at least two more copies to gift to others.

Ellis Island: Island of Hope & Island of Tears




Between 1892 and the early 1950s, nearly 15 million people streamed through Ellis Island in search of a new life. Here are the stories of those extraordinary immigrants, largely in their own poignant words. Coming primarily from Southern and Eastern Europe, and from widely diverse backgrounds, the émigrés represented in this remarkable volume recount their adventures with dignity, wit, and unflagging honesty.

From 1892 to 1954, over twelve million immigrants entered the United States through the portal of Ellis Island, a small island in New York Harbor. Ellis Island is located in the upper bay just off the New Jersey coast, within the shadow of the Statue of Liberty. Through the years, this gateway to the new world was enlarged from its original 3.3 acres to 27.5 acres by landfill supposedly obtained from the ballast of ships, excess earth from the construction of the New York City subway system and elsewhere.

Before being designated as the site of one of the first Federal immigration station by President Benjamin Harrison in 1890, Ellis Island had a varied history. The local Indian tribes had called it "Kioshk" or Gull Island. Due to its rich and abundant oyster beds and plentiful and profitable shad runs, it was known as Oyster Island for many generations during the Dutch and English colonial periods. By the time Samuel Ellis became the island's private owner in the 1770's, the island had been called Kioshk, Oyster, Dyre, Bucking and Anderson's Island. In this way, Ellis Island developed from a sandy island that barely rose above the high tide mark, into a hanging site for pirates, a harbor fort, ammunition and ordinance depot named Fort Gibson, and finally into an immigration station.

Despite the island's reputation as an "Island of Tears", the vast majority of immigrants were treated courteously and respectfully, and were free to begin their new lives in America after only a few short hours on Ellis Island. Only two percent of the arriving immigrants were excluded from entry. The two main reasons why an immigrant would be excluded were if a doctor diagnosed that the immigrant had a contagious disease that would endanger the public health or if a legal inspector thought the immigrant was likely to become a public charge or an illegal contract laborer.

In 1965, President Lyndon Johnson declared Ellis Island part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument. Ellis Island was opened to the public on a limited basis between 1976 and 1984. Starting in 1984, Ellis Island underwent a major restoration, the largest historic restoration in U.S.

The Corporation by Mark Achbar




About the Film:

WINNER OF 26 INTERNATIONAL AWARDS! 10 Audience Choice Awards including the 2004 Sundance Film Festival.

Provoking, witty, stylish and sweepingly informative, THE CORPORATION explores the nature and spectacular rise of the dominant institution of our time.

Part film and part movement, The Corporation is transforming audiences and dazzling critics with its insightful and compelling analysis. Taking its status as a legal "person" to the logical conclusion, the film puts the corporation on the psychiatrist's couch to ask "What kind of person is it?"

The Corporation includes interviews with 40 corporate insiders and critics - including Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, Milton Friedman, Howard Zinn, Vandana Shiva and Michael Moore - plus true confessions, case studies and strategies for change.
