⁣“Project Nim,” a new documentary by James Marsh, is a probing, unsettling study of primate behavior, focusing on the complex dynamics of power, sex and group bonding in a species whose startling capacity for selfishness and aggression is offset by occasional displays of intelligence and compassion.
His name — a human imposition, like everything else in this creature’s remarkable, heartbreaking life — is Nim Chimpsky. In the 1970s he enjoyed (or endured) a season of fame as a research subject. Shortly after his birth at an primate behavior, Nim was taken from his mother’s side and delivered to New York, where he became part of an experiment, led by a Columbia professor, Herbert Terrace, to determine whether an ape could be taught human language.
It is a bit curious that Mr. Marsh’s film has nothing to say about the roots of Nim’s name, a jab at the influential linguist Noam Chomsky, whose theories about the innateness and uniqueness of language to humans were the implicit target of Dr. Terrace’s work. His project was an effort to discern if a chimpanzee could learn sign language and if that learning could proceed beyond the mimicry of specific gestures into the creation of grammatical sentences. If Nim could be raised more or less as a human child, and could master human communication, that would challenge the Chomskyan idea of language as a special, hard-wired trait fundamentally separating us from other animals. (Koko the gorilla, another celebrated signing ape born around the same time as Nim, also tested this hypothesis.)
“Project Nim” glances briefly at the scientific controversy that shaped Nim’s fate, but Mr. Marsh is less interested in comparatively dry matters of linguistics or neurobiology than in a humid, messy domain of identity and emotion that has, in the past, been the terrain of psychoanalysis. And of literature: Nim, thrown from one home to another, vulnerable to cruelty and neglect and dependent on the kindness of strangers, resembles the titular hero of a Dickens novel, an orphan buffeted by circumstances whose biography is also a fable of individual virtue and social injustice.
A helpless innocent compared with his protectors and tormentors, Nim bounces like a long-armed David Copperfield from one unnatural home to another — a Manhattan brownstone, an estate in the Bronx, a medical testing center upstate — living through periods of pastoral bliss and gothic horror. His tale is Dickensian, but also Kafkaesque, since he is at the mercy of powerful forces beyond his ken or control.
Red Peter, the learned ape in Kafka’s devastating “Report to an Academy,” dreams, above all else, of a “way out,” and to watch footage of the young Nim at play and in confinement is to infer that he must have known a similar longing. Unlike the Kafka character, however, this educated primate never acquired enough words to tell us his story, and so “Project Nim” relies on human interlocutors, some of whom cared about Nim a great deal, almost all of whom wind up telling us more about themselves.
They are a remarkable collection, often at odds and sometimes in bed with one another, with Nim as their pawn, rival or surrogate child as well as the blank slate on which they inscribe their fantasies and intellectual conceits. Dr. Terrace, speaking with precision and detachment in present-day interviews, is either resigned to being the film’s designated villain or oblivious to being set up for that role. His former colleagues, some of them also former lovers, don’t have much good to say, and the ’70s footage, showing an academic dandy with a comb-over, a BMW and a Burt Reynolds mustache, is hardly flattering.
For the first few years of Nim’s life, Dr. Terrace was the master of his fate, though not always a significant presence in the chimp’s day-to-day routine. After leaving Oklahoma, Nim was installed in the home of Stephanie LaFarge, where he became part of a household that included seven children, at least one dog and Ms. LaFarge’s husband, a poet and “rich hippie” who appears to have been Nim’s romantic rival.
Ms. LaFarge, an open and genial interview subject, drops a few casual bombshells testifying to what the psychobabble of our own time might call boundary issues. “It was the ’70s,” her now grown-up daughter Jenny Lee says, but even then, and even on the Upper West Side, it might have been a bit unusual for a woman to breastfeed a baby chimpanzee.
After a while, Nim was transferred to an estate in Riverdale, cared for and tutored by young people — most of them women — who come before Mr. Marsh’s camera in middle age to recall the pleasures and dangers of working with their spirited simian charge. It is hard not to be charmed by the affection that passes between these humans and the chimp, or to appreciate what seems to be a reciprocated effort at communication. But at the same time it is difficult to avoid a certain queasiness at the sight of a wild creature forcibly and irrevocably alienated from his nature — dressed in clothes, tethered and caged, smoking a joint out in the woods with his pals. You laugh, sometimes, to force the lump out of your throat.
There is no doubt that Nim was exploited, and also no doubt that he was loved. Mr. Marsh, by allowing those closest to Nim plenty of room to explain themselves, examines the moral complexity of this story without didacticism. He allows the viewer, alternately appalled, touched and fascinated, to be snagged on some of its ethical thorns. He also engages in a bit of manipulation, using sleight-of-hand re-enactments and Dickon Hinchliffe’s nerve-rackingly melodramatic score to sensationalize a drama that hardly requires it.
Mr. Marsh, whose last documentary was the lovely, Oscar-winning “Man on Wire,” is a patient listener and an able storyteller, but the subject of “Project Nim” is so rich and strange that it might have benefited from the hand of a wilder, bolder filmmaker. An obsessive like Errol Morris or Werner Herzog might have pushed beyond pathos and curiosity, deeper into the literal no man’s land that lies between us and our estranged animal relations. But it is also possible that our language and our science do not equip us to understand the truth about Nim — or the truth about us that he may have discovered through years of rigorous, involuntary research.
“Project Nim” is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). Strong language, drug use, sexual references and depictions of animal suffering.

⁣Huron University College professor refuses to abide by school’s vaccine mandate in the name of ethics.


Huron University College professor is speaking out against the institution’s vaccine mandate, questioning the ethics of “coercing people into medical procedures” for those refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine. The professor states in the video, which has since been removed from YouTube, that she fears for her employment.


Julie Ponesse, an ethics professor at Huron University College which is affiliated with Western University, describes it as “ethically wrong” to require staff and students to be fully vaccinated, despite the policy also being encouraged by Ontario health officials.


“I am facing imminent dismissal after 20 years on the job. Because I will not submit to having an experimental vaccine injected into my body,” said Ponesse in the video.
“I don’t work in a high-risk environment. I’m not a doctor in an emergency room. I’m a teacher. I’m a university professor,” she adds.


This video comes amid a statement released Tuesday by Western University President and Vice-Chancellor Alan Shepard, after a “disturbing trend” involving several large gatherings near the campus in London, Ont., during frosh week.


“This activity is a blatant disregard for the campus community, public health, and the law,” Shepard wrote. “We want to be clear: if this activity continues, the academic year we have so carefully planned will not happen. In-person learning with fellow students, interaction with professors, extra-curricular activities, athletics and all the things that make your student experience great will be lost.

⁣Homeschooling is the wise choice. The "training" a child receives in the Satanic public school system is not of the God of the King James Bible. Training and teaching children is a parental responsibility. We should not expose our children to the Satanic government education systems, demonic video games, demonic movies, whisperers, demonic music, yoga, tarot cards, horoscopes, (divination) etc as exposure to these things creates demonic strongholds in their minds that are contrary to The Word of God (King James Bible).
What does the school do with the children? Gatto states the following assertions in "Dumbing Us Down":
It makes the children confused. It presents an incoherent ensemble of information that the child needs to memorizsto stay in school. Apart from the tests and trials that programming is similar to the television, it fills almost all the "free" time of children. One sees and hears something, only to forget it again.

It teaches them to accept their class affiliation.
It makes them indifferent.
It makes them emotionally dependent.
It makes them intellectually dependent.
It teaches them a kind of self-confidence that requires constant confirmation by experts (provisional self-esteem).

It makes it clear to them that they cannot hide, because they are always supervised
Nowhere in the Bible does it say to enrol your children in the Satanic, public, government owned and operated education system's "indoctrination camps" known as "schools."
Education of children is a parental responsibility.

The Education systems have been used and are being used as a tool by Satanic governments (around the world) to indoctrinate and conduct experiments on children.
A corrupt tree (government owned and operated public education system) cannot bring forth good fruit (a child raised according to Biblical values and principles).

Matthew 7:18: 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
As it is written: Proverbs 22:6: Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:6 is one of the most famous verses in the Bible, but also one of the least followed.
The "training" a child receives in the Satanic public school system is not of the God of the King James Bible. Training and teaching children is a parental responsibility. We should not expose our children to the Satanic government education systems, demonic video games, demonic movies, etc as exposure to these things creates demonic strongholds in their minds. Homeschooling is the wise choice.

We live in a world increasingly opposed to the laws of its Creator. Christians are looking more and more ‘peculiar’ (1 Peter 2:9). We must teach our children the Word of God (King James Bible), teach them how to put Jesus Christ first in all aspects of their lives, teach them how to pray, pray for them to be filled with the Holy Spirit, teach them to recognize the answer to prayer, teach them how to depend on God, teach them how to serve and live for Him as we lead them by example and pray for them without ceasing.
Training a child includes teaching them to see the Hand of God at Work while being aware of the wiles of the evil one.

We must help our children examine everything in the light of God’s standards (the King James Bible), and encourage them to be salt and light, to stand apart when necessary, to stand for righteousness, to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. (Matthew 10:16)

We must help our children to see the evil and demonic in music, books, games (including video games), movies, videos and certain friendships. We owe it to them to teach them the spiritual realities (rigged realities) of the world in which we live and protect them from corruption.

⁣Billionaire activist George Soros is one of the most influential and controversial figures of our time. Famous for betting against the Bank of England in 1992 and making a billion dollars in one day, he is maligned by ideologues on both the left and the right for daring to tackle the world’s problems and putting his money behind his fight – from free elections and freedom of the press to civil rights for minorities. With unprecedented access to the man and his inner circle, American director Jesse Dylan follows Soros across the globe and pulls back the curtain on his personal history, private wealth, and public activism. Soros reveals a complicated genius whose experience as a Jew during the Holocaust gave rise to a lifelong crusade against authoritarianism and hate.

George Soros, a demon to many right-wing blabbermouths, must be one of the most misunderstood men on the contemporary scene. At least that is the premise of Jesse Dylan’s documentary, Soros, which contains extensive interviews with the billionaire, along with testimonials from some of his admirers and scathing evaluations from his detractors. The film is sometimes clumsily executed, but it does have timeliness in its favor.
The movie opens with blasts from people like Stephen Bannon and Fox News host Tucker Carlson. While they are foaming at the mouth, these angry reactionaries never quite clarify why they so detest Soros. And that is the film’s fatal flaw; it doesn’t fully explain why Soros has aroused more antipathy than other progressive philanthropists. The film does recall how Soros made part of his fortune by betting against the Bank of England during a period of financial instability, so perhaps that partially explains the antipathy of people who view him as an opportunist.

⁣Himalaya of the hypocrisy!!!
⁣I am aware that most of the materials on this channel are very pessimistic and always worse news from the world. I because of that I decided to put this movie not on DocumentaryArchive but here to make my followers laugh until their stomach aches.

I come from the communist block, I grew up in the 70s in Poland and this film clearly reminds me of classic Soviet Propaganda. The level of sweetness and exaggerated concern for the public good can make you vomit in this story.

However, there is so much hypocrisy, naive deception, and caricature pride here that all you can do is laugh out loud.

Have fun watching this movie.

⁣Official description :-))))))))))
With his signature blend of scientific acumen, candor and integrity, Dr. Anthony Fauci became America’s most unlikely cultural icon during COVID-19. A world-renowned infectious disease specialist and the longest-serving public health leader in Washington, D.C., he has valiantly overseen the U.S. response to 50 years’ worth of epidemics, including HIV/AIDS, SARS and Ebola. FAUCI is an unprecedented portrait of one of our most vital public servants, whose work saved millions while he faced threats from anonymous adversaries.

Directed by Emmy winners John Hoffman (The Weight of the Nation, Sleepless in America) and Janet Tobias (Unseen Enemy), the film is executive produced by Academy Award winner Dan Cogan (Icarus) and two-time Academy Award nominee Liz Garbus (What Happened, Miss Simone?, The Farm: Angola, USA). The documentary features insights from President George W. Bush, Bill Gates, Bono, former U.S. Department of Health and Human Services secretary Sylvia Burwell, former national security advisor Susan Rice, National Institutes of Health director Dr. Francis Collins, former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Dr. Tom Frieden and key AIDS activists, plus Dr. Fauci’s family, friends and former patients.

⁣In this lecture, 04 and 05 combined, I discuss the relationship between the initiatory structure characteristic of shamanism and the process of radical personality transformation, self- or therapy-induced. The basic structure is order/paradise, chaos/the fall, re-establishment of order/paradise. Since all paradises fall, however, the true paradise is identification with the process of transformation itself.

A very interesting insight from the professor when it talks about the mystical experiences of DMT (when you skip the lecture to 2h: 30m), professor Peterson talks about the mystical experience people tend to have after taking substances like Ayahuasca. These experiences can result in permanent personality transformations.


Jordan Bernt Peterson is a Canadian professor of psychology, clinical psychologist, YouTube personality, and author. He began to receive widespread attention in the late 2010s for his views on cultural and political issues, often described as conservative.

Born and raised in Alberta, Peterson obtained bachelor's degrees in political science and psychology from the University of Alberta and a PhD in clinical psychology from McGill University. After teaching and research at Harvard University, he returned to Canada in 1998 to permanently join the faculty of psychology at the University of Toronto.

In 1999, he published his first book, Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief, which became the basis for many of his subsequent lectures. The book combined information from psychology, mythology, religion, literature, philosophy, and neuroscience to analyze systems of belief and meaning.

⁣The story of activist group Act Up and its struggle with authority in the early years of Aids makes for a compelling and often moving documentary

"Plague!" howls screenwriter/playwright Larry Kramer like some Old Testament prophet in one of the many arresting moments from this urgent, heartbreaking, and ultimately empowering account of how Aids activists took control of their own destiny in the late 1980s when the US government and health services failed to do so. Kramer is addressing an increasingly heated Act Up (Aids Coalition to Unleash Power) meeting, silencing those who have fallen into factional bickering with a voice which conjures up rage, anger and defiance.

Kramer's outburst is extraordinary, captured in grainy footage along with 700 hours of archive material (TV interviews, news broadcasts, reportage), through which director David France sifts to put us right there in the middle of the emerging struggle. What's even more remarkable is just how effectively the disparate group Kramer calls to order manage to put aside their differences to become a dynamic and wide-ranging force for change, saving lives even as they look death in the face.

Like David Weissman and Bill Weber's equally powerful We Were Here, which movingly documented the response to the outbreak of Aids in San Francisco, How to Survive a Plague offers an enlightening portrait of community action in the face of appalling government negligence and barely concealed anti-gay prejudice. Footage of George Bush blithely advocating a "change of lifestyle" as the only cure for HIV sits alongside riotous film of Act Up members staging peaceful occupations that rattle the cages of both the government and the pharmaceutical industry.

In one gut-wrenching sequence, the ashes of lost loved ones are scattered on the lawns of the White House as baton-wielding policemen on horses attempt to prevent the protesters from making their stand (we think of Joe Hill's call to arms, "Don't mourn, organise!"). Yet even in the midst of such clashes, the authorities came to realise that, in the words of one federal official, "they know more than we do". Gradually, members of Act Up (who included scientists, chemists, and researchers) were accepted onto the boards of those struggling to oversee the crisis, their literate, informed and practical responses to floundering drug development becoming a key part of the search for a cure.

With its intimate footage of activists, several of whom fall by the wayside before the final credits, How to Survive a Plague is a compellingly watchable portrait of a battle fought under that most memorable rallying cry: "Silence = Death". Bravo.

⁣This exciting documentary will build on the successes of 'State of Mind: The Psychology of Control' - Free Mind Films' follow up to the multiple award winning documentary exposé 'A Noble Lie: Oklahoma City 1995' .

Free Mind Films has decided to work with international best-selling author - James Perloff to tell the virtually unknown story of the Council On Foreign Relations (CFR) and how that organization is the key to understanding how our world has become what we today.

Mr. Perloff literally wrote the book on the CFRs existence than 20 years ago and now he's back with a new book titled Truth is a Lonely Warrior which he is used as the research platform to write the script for 'ShadowRing'. ShadowRing will entertainingly unfold the events that led to the creation of the CFR, the important players who were instrumental in the council's success within American politics, and how the CFR wields unimaginable influence over the geo-political agenda of the United States and consequently the events that have shaped our world for the last 100 years.

Expert witnesses and testimony will be weaved together with a historical visual landscape designed to present the inherent complexity of this subject in a way that is palatable for someone who has no prior knowledge of the CFR or what power it has over our lives. Source documents will give credibility to these incredible and life shattering revelations.

By providing the audience with the facts and avoiding opinions or conjecture, ShadowRing will break down the dis-information and unlock the secrets of the CFR providing fertile ground to encourage a new public debate on the ethical and moral implications of allowing such a small group of individuals to command such power and influence over our lives.

Watch PART 1 (One) here => ⁣https://vajratube.com/v/SXRrCw
⁣After a long summer of feasting, their bodies stately and plump, the emperor penguins of Antarctica begin to feel, toward autumn, a need to march inland to the breeding grounds "where each and every one of them was born." They are all of a mind about this, and walk in single file, thousands of them, in a column miles long. They all know where they are going, even those making the march for the first time, and when they get there, these countless creatures, who all look more or less the same to us, begin to look more or less desirable to one another. Carefully, they choose their mates.

This is not a casual commitment. After the female delivers one large egg, the male gathers it into a fold of his abdomen, plants his feet to protect the egg from the ice below, and then stands there for two months with no food or water, in howling gales, at temperatures far below zero, in total darkness, huddled together with the other fathers for warmth. The females meanwhile, march all the way back to the sea, now even more distant, to forage for food, which they will bring when the spring comes, if they know it must. When the females return to the mass of countless males, they find their mate without error and recognize the cries of chicks they have never seen.

"March of the Penguins" is simply, and astonishingly, the story of this annual cycle. It was filmed under unimaginable conditions by the French director Luc Jacquet and his team, including the cinematographers Laurent Chalet and Jerome Maison. There is not much to choose from in setting up their shots: On the coldest, driest and (in winter) darkest continent on Earth, there is snow, and there is ice, and there are penguins. There is also an ethereal beauty.

Although the compulsion to reproduce is central to all forms of life, the penguins could be forgiven if they'd said the hell with it and evolved in the direction of being able to swim to Patagonia. The film's narrator, Morgan Freeman, tells us that Antarctica was once a warm land with rich forests that teemed with creatures. But as the climate grew colder over long centuries, one lifeform after another bailed out, until the penguins were left in a land that, as far as they can see, is inhabited pretty much by other penguins, and edged by seas filled with delicious fish. Even their predators, such as the leopard seal, give them a pass during the dark, long, cold winter.

"This is a love story," Freeman's narration assures us, reminding me for some reason of Tina Turner singing "What's Love Got to Do With It?" I think it is more accurately described as the story of an evolutionary success. The penguins instinctively know, because they have been hard-wired by evolutionary trial and error, that it is necessary to march so far inland because in spring, the ice shelf will start to melt toward them, and they need to stand where the ice will remain thick enough to support them.

As a species, they learned this because the penguins who paused too soon on their treks had eggs that fell into the sea. Those who walked farther produced another generation, and eventually every penguin was descended from a long line of ancestors who were willing to walk the extra mile.

Why do penguins behave in this manner? Because it works for them, and their environment gives them little alternative. They are Darwinism embodied. But their life history is so strange that until the last century, it was not even guessed at. The first Antarctic explorers found penguins aplenty, but had little idea where they came from, where they went to, and indeed whether they were birds or mammals.

The answers to those questions were discovered by a man named Apsley Cherry-Garrard, in one of the most remarkable books ever written, The Worst Journey in the World (1922). He was not writing about the journey of the penguins, but about his own trek with two others through the bitter night to their mating grounds. Members of Scott's 1910-1912 expedition to the South Pole, they set out in the autumn to follow the march of the penguins, and walked through hell until he found them, watched them, returned with one of their eggs. Cherry-Garrard retired to England, where he lived until 1959; his friends felt the dreadful march, and the later experience of finding the frozen bodies of Scott and two others, contributed to his depression for the rest of his life.

For Jacquet and his crew, the experience was more bearable. They had transport, warmth, food and communication with the greater world. Still, it could not have been pleasant, sticking it out and making this documentary, when others were filming a month spent eating at McDonald's. The narration is a little fanciful for my taste, and some of the shots seem funny to us but not to the penguins. When they fall over, they do it with a remarkable lack of style. And for all the walking they do, they're ungainly waddlers. Yet they are perfect in their way, with sleek coats, grace in the water and heroic determination. It's poignant to watch the chicks in their youth, fed by their parents, playing with their chums, the sun climbing higher every day, little suspecting what they're in for.

⁣The Altman Report - What You Need To Know About COVID Vaccines (17.10.2022)

Dr. Phillip Altman exposes the entire Australian medical/political nexus. He warns against so-called Covid mRNA vaccine and puts the political party duopoly right in his sights. Without doubt the best homespun doco we have seen from a highly qualified doctor who deserves a medal. What he talks about in this video applies to the whole world....
Dr Altman is a well-known Australian authority on clinical trials and regulatory affairs with more than 40 years of experience in designing, managing and reporting of clinical trials and in working with the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration in gaining new drug approvals.
