The Day Before Disclosure Company: New Paradigm Films Director: Terje Toftenes Producer: Truls Toftenes, Ragnhild Løken, Terje Toftenes Music: Rover Features: Steven Greer, Edgar Mitchell, Steve Basset, Robert Dean, Budd Hopkins, Barbara Lamb, David Jacobs, Richard Dolan, Stanton Friedman, Peter Robbins, Jim Marrs, Nadine Lalich, Elaine, Michael Salla, Milton Torres, Wendelle Stevens, Paola Harris, Nick Pope, Miriam Delicado, Linda Moulton Howe, Robert Hastings, Dr Roger Leir www.thedaybeforedisclosure.com/thefilm.htmlWhat if our governments had known about an ET-presence for more than half a century, if they were in possession of alien technology that had the potential of changing how our world is run, and they chose to keep the public in the dark through a campaign of informational suppression? What if that campaign acted as a chain around the ankles of humanity, keeping us from rising to a whole new level of consciousness and understanding of our selves, our planet and the universe around us? And what if that campaign ended tomorrow? The Day Before Disclosure is a film documenting the growing awareness and the build up to what can potentially be the single, most important event in human history – the day the UFO and ET presence becomes a world wide accepted reality. This is the story of the witnesses that was laughed at, the researchers and reporters that wasn’t believed and the governmental and military personnel that were sworn to silence. A story that alters the foundation of everything you thought you knew, and takes you along for a ride all the way from the darkest abyss of living nightmares, through to the brightest hope for the future of humanity.

The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder - Trailer www.youtube.com/watch?v=68_3rjp0RkwProsecutionOfGWB | October 27, 2009 Please join and support vince at: www.indiegogo.com/bushFamed Charles Manson prosecutor and three time #1 New York Times bestselling author Vincent Bugliosi stars in this most powerful, explosive, and thought-provoking documentary. In The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder, Bugliosi presents a tight, meticulously researched legal case that puts George W. Bush on trial in an American courtroom for the murder of nearly 4,000 American soldiers fighting the war in Iraq. Bugliosi sets forth the legal architecture and incontrovertible evidence that President Bush took this nation to war in Iraq under false pretenses—a war that has not only caused the deaths of American soldiers but also over 100,000 innocent Iraqi men, women, and children; cost the United States over one trillion dollars thus far with no end in sight; and alienated many American allies in the Western world. As a prosecutor who is dedicated to seeking justice, Bugliosi, in his inimitable style, delivers a non-partisan argument, free from party lines and instead based upon hard facts and pure objectivity. A searing indictment of the President and his administration, The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder also outlines a legally credible pathway to holding our highest government officials accountable for their actions, thereby creating a framework for future occupants of the oval office. Vincent Bugliosi calls for the United States of America to return to the great nation it once was and can be again. He believes the first step to achieving this goal is to bring those responsible for the war in Iraq to justice.

I now think of it as a crime scene.” – Filmmaker Danny Schecter, Plunder (2009)

Dealing with the devil Doc explores Dissociative Identity Disorder Published January 20, 2011 Niles Crane: “I have to go. I'm conducting a seminar in multiple personality disorders, and it takes me forever to fill out the name tags.” In comedies such as Frasier and Me, Myself & Irene, and thrillers including Psycho and Primal Fear, dissociative identity disorder (as it’s now known) has long been exploited for both laughs and chills, with accuracy often taking a backseat. The late Hilary Stanton, an Albertan who had suffered from DID, sought to correct the misconceptions these fictional portrayals often created. With that end in mind, Stanton has allowed director Helen Slinger to use clips from her videotaped therapy sessions in the documentary When the Devil Knocks. “I want people to know there’s nothing glamorous or Hollywood about being multiple,” Stanton says in the film. “It happens to lots of ordinary people who survive abuse.” Growing up in rural northern Alberta in the 1950s and 60s, Stanton endured years of sexual abuse at the hands of a neighbour, whom she knew as Mr. Dyk. A self-described runt who felt unloved by her mother, Stanton coped with the abuse by creating 35 “alters,” an array of identities both male and female — some of whom were five years old and others 15 — all with distinct personalities. Stanton’s alters helped her cope with the complex feelings the abuse caused, with one of them (“Tim”) preserving the happier memories she had of Mr. Dyk, and another (“Joanie”) the sorrow he caused. Before beginning therapy, however, Stanton hadn’t been conscious of her alters, experiencing gaps in her memory whenever they took over. www.ffwdweekly.com/article/screen/film-features/dealing-with-the-devil-6916/When the Devil Knocks is the intimate story of a woman suffering from Dissociative Identity Disorder, formerly known as Multiple Personality. The film premiered at the 2010 Vancouver International Film Festival and will have its World Broadcast Premiere on CBC News Network's The Passionate Eye on Wednesday, January 26, 2011 at 10 pm ET/PT. whenthedevilknocks.com/

Hacking Democracy www.hackingdemocracy.com/Watch the free new 20 minute elections film "Protecting Democracy" (by Hacking Democracy creators Simon Ardizzone & Russell Michaels) which reveals the secret "MANUAL ENTRY SCREEN" on the Diebold/Premier voting system that allows vote totals to be easily switched. The Documentary The documentary, first broadcast on HBO throughout November & December 2006, exposes the dangers of voting machines used during America's mid term and presidential elections. Electronic voting machines count approximately 90% of America's votes in county, state and federal elections. The technology is also increasingly being used across the world, including in Canada, the United Kingdom, Europe and Latin America. Filmed over three years this expos' follows the investigations of a team of citizen activists and hackers as they take on the electronic voting industry, targeting the Diebold corporation. "Hacking Democracy" uncovers incendiary evidence from the trash cans of Texas to the ballot boxes of Ohio, exposing secrecy, votes in the trash, hackable software and election officials rigging the presidential recount. Ultimately proving our votes can be stolen without a trace "Hacking Democracy" culminates in the famous 'Hursti Hack'; a duel between the Diebold voting machines and a computer hacker from Finland - with America's democracy at stake. Online voting is poised to transform Canadian democracy - April 3, 2011 www.paulhillsdon.com/2011/04/03/online-voting-is-poised-to-transform-canadian-democracy/Like Blackwater > Xe. Diebold/Premier Actually Admits Its Machines Are Faulty! And That It Lied About Antivirus Software... from the wonders-never-cease dept. Aug 22nd 2008. Consider me to be in a state of shock. For nearly half a decade Diebold has always responded in the identical way to every single report of a problem or security vulnerability with its e-voting machines: attacking those who pointed out the problem and claiming it really wasn't a problem at all. This has happened time and time again that I'm not even sure how to react when the company ( renamed Premier to get away from the Diebold name stigma) has finally admitted that its machines have a flaw that drops votes. www.techdirt.com/articles/20080822/0352532064.shtml

About the FilmIn the Rosebud River valley, an hour east of Calgary, the water in many homes can be lit on fire. Everyone agrees there's gas in the water. Few agree on why. At Fiona Lauridsen's farm, just outside the hamlet of Rosebud, Fiona and her family got skin burns in the shower. Fiona claims that EnCana, Canada's largest natural gas company, contaminated the aquifer by drilling (fracking) for coal bed methane, a new source of natural gas extraction that often uses chemicals for drilling. Yet in the hamlet, where the Rosebud Theatre is a popular tourist attraction, most residents refuse to even talk about burning water, for fear of harming the tourist industry. A government minister blamed the contamination on improper well maintenance on the part of the farmer. Other scientist’s disagree, and Fiona thinks the government is deflecting attention away from the negative consequences of an energy boom that’s bringing record profits to the province. www.bunburyfilms.com/burningwater.htmlAlso: EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE :: WATER - Fracking, Halliburton, Methane, Chemicals pyrelog.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=earth&action=display&thread=337&page=3

SHARKWATER They have survived for 450 million years. They control two thirds of the planet. They are the world's top predator. Hieram Weintraub, an artist and children’s book illustrator, has brought the Shark Fin Soup controversy to TORONTO’s West QueenWest Art Village. “LV Whale Shark”, in the front window of Studio Lighting, is accompanied by some startling info on the wholesale slaughter of the ocean’s #1 predator. - Shark Fin Soup can sell for $400 a bowl - an estimated 100 million sharks are slaughtered annually - shark fins have no flavour and no nutritional value -”finning” is when fishermen hack off a shark’s fins and dump the still living animal back into the sea to drown - removing the apex predator from the ocean’s ecological chain will have global consequences www.sharkwater.com/

Chernobyl Heart On April 26, 1986, the worst nuclear accident in history occurred when a reactor exploded at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine, releasing 90 times the radioactivity of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Sixteen years later, award-winning filmmaker Maryann De Leo took her camera to ground zero, following the devastating trail radiation leaves behind in hospitals, orphanages, mental asylums and evacuated villages. The Academy Award®-winning documentary short debuts immediately after the America Undercover special “Indian Point: Imagining the Unimaginable”. Following Adi Roche, founder of Ireland’s Chernobyl Children’s Project, CHERNOBYL HEART opens in the exclusion zone, the most radioactive environment on earth. From there, Roche travels to Belarus, home to many of the children she seeks to aid. The film reveals those hardest hit by radiation, including thyroid cancer patients and children suffering from unfathomable congenital birth and heart defects. topdocumentaryfilms.com/chernobyl-heart/
