A true twentieth-century trailblazer, Harvey Milk was an outspoken human rights activist and one of the first openly gay U.S. politicians elected to public office; even after his assassination in 1978, he continues to inspire disenfranchised people around the world. The Oscar-winning The Times of Harvey Milk, directed by Robert Epstein and produced by Richard Schmiechen, was as groundbreaking as its subject.
One of the first feature documentaries to address gay life in America, it’s a work of advocacy itself, bringing Milk’s message of hope and equality to a wider audience. This exhilarating trove of original documentary material and archival footage is as much a vivid portrait of a time and place (San Francisco’s historic Castro District in the seventies) as a testament to the legacy of a political visionary.
This documentary examines the political life of the self-proclaimed "Mayor Of Castro Street," N.Y. stockbroker turned San Francisco activist Harvey Milk, the first openly gay politician elected to public office in California. Milk was elected to a City Supervisor position in the '70s, when a successful gay politician was an anomaly, but Milk made the most of his brief time in power. When Dan White killed Milk and Mayor George Moscone, the loss experienced by Milk's supporters was profound.
White robbed the gay-rights movement of a charismatic leader and eloquent voice, but he accidentally gave it something a smart political operative like Milk would surely have appreciated the power and value of: a bona fide martyr.

The New World Order’s main focus is complete world dominance. Population control, better known as Depopulation, is the UN’s tool to annihilate the majority of the masses, so that no more than 500 million people are left on the face of the earth. A neat number, easy to control, dominate and subjugate. How are we, the people, being attacked in the name of population control? By means of 10 different Extinction Tools. Let’s take a look at the first 4: wars, (natural?) disasters, famine & drought, and plagues & diseases…

It Might Get Loud explores the musical influence and careers of three of the world’s greatest rock musicians, Jack White, The Edge and Jimmy Page. It reveals how they got into music at a young age and followed their dreams to become household names.
Page started playing the guitar in school and went on to write songs for the Yardbirds and Led Zeppelin. Jack White grew up in Detroit and had so much passion for music that he traded in his bed and mattress so that he could have more space for his drum sets and guitar. His particular taste in music was not popular at the time but that did not stop him from playing roots and blues.
The Edge had a more conservative upbringing and developed his own style of playing the guitar. It Might Get Loud shows all three musicians coming together to discuss their influences and playing each other’s songs for the very first time.

Dr Jordan B Peterson and Dr. Dennis McKenna discuss the science behind psychedelics, the entities found through the looking glass, the current pharmaceutical approach to long life, and why it needs to change.
Dr. Dennis McKenna is an American ethnopharmacologist, lecturer and author. He is a founding board member and the director of ethnopharmacology at the Heffter Research Institute, a non-profit exploring the therapeutic uses of psychedelic medicines. McKenna received his masters in botany at the University of Hawaii in 1979, followed by his doctorate in the same field at the University of British Columbia in 1984. Dennis is the brother of Terrence McKenna, a cultural figure and proponent for the exploration of psychedelics.
Together they co-authored The Invisible Landscape. Much later McKenna would write a memoir, Brotherhood of the Screaming Abyss, detailing he and his brothers exploits in the field. Today, Dennis tours and lectures, while also running the McKenna Academy of Natural Philosophy, which seeks to uncover the mysteries of consciousness held within the realm of botany and pharmacology.

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.

A documentary exposing the evil Satanists plans to create a New World Order.
Soon after World War I and in connection with the formation of the League of Nations the American president Woodrow Wilson used the term ‘new world order’, hoping that it would finally become possible to create a system for maintaining international peace and security; meanwhile, the political order had already existed in the Western world for several centuries. In historical terms it would be more precise to speak about the international order when the European order transformed into the global one. Moreover, prior to the European order the inchoate international order could be found in other regions of the World System (the most famous here being the Pax Romania).
Thus, with respect to globalization, the search for the origins of the world order leads back to the ancient times. Yet, in historical terms the notion of the world order seems rather amorphous. The humanity has passed a long and perilous way to the establishment of certain international rules and foundations of co-existence. It is worth analyzing them just in terms of the formation (and development) of the world order and the way in which the obtained experience can be employed for making predictions on the forthcoming transformations.
The notions of globalization and world order have become rather closely connected today. The countries' mutual influence as well as the impact of global processes on nations and states are evident today (Ilyin and Leonova 2015). Within the political realm globalization considerably affects the transformation of the states' sovereign prerogatives since it contributes to the change and reduction of the scope of the states' sovereign powers.
It is obvious that the unfolding globalization cannot but complete with some institutionalizing of the relations in the foreign policy sphere although this path is difficult and ambiguous.

The Microsoft co-founder and billionaire philanthropist is asked what his worst fear is. It’s not family tragedy or personal pain. “I don’t want my brain to stop working,” he responds.
That formidable gray matter is fittingly the subject of “Inside Bill’s Brain: Decoding Bill Gates,” a new three-part documentary on Netflix from Academy Award-winning director Davis Guggenheim. It starts Friday.
A portrait emerges of a visionary who gnaws on his eyeglasses’ arms, downs Cokes and is relentlessly optimistic that technology can solve social ills. He also is someone who reads manically — he will scrutinize the Minnesota state budget for fun — and who is a wicked opponent at cards.
In this ground-breaking original series, experts explore the history and use of psychedelic plants including political ambitions, the perceived shadow side and the proper environment to experience these substances.
From the origins of Shamanism to the spiritual expression of modern awakenings, discover the role of sacred medicine as a gateway to expanded consciousness, and its continued influence on humanity.
“Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behaviour and information processing. They open you up to the possibility that everything you know is wrong.” ― Terence McKenna

No comedian was ever funnier, no fighter ever faster than Muhammad Ali, who is caught at the top of his game in Leon Gast's valentine, "When We Were Kings."
The movie is built around the 1974 "Rumble in the Jungle" between Ali and George Foreman in Zaire. Though the Oscar-nominated documentary captures the fight and the fighters, it also explores Ali's role in reintroducing black Americans to their African culture.
Best of all, it resurrects Ali as bee, butterfly and maker of bons mots. Mind, mouth, muscles, all in accord, move a mile a minute as the 32-year-old prepares to wrest the heavyweight crown from the formidable, 26-year-old titleholder. Fit and fleet as Ali is, conventional wisdom has it that Ali's a dead man.
Ali, as Gast's film repeatedly and delightfully demonstrates, was hardly a conventional soul. He comes through as a maverick's maverick. And he's up against formidable competition in this film, including Don King. It was the ex-con with "the great uprush of hair" who managed to talk Mobutu Sese Seko, the Zairian dictator, into staging the fight. Persuaded that it would be good publicity for his country, Mobutu forked over $10 million, flew the fighters and their entourages to Kinshasa and began cleaning the blood of anti-government protesters from the floor of the outdoor arena where the fight was scheduled to take place that September.
Idolized by the people of Zaire for refusing to fight in Vietnam, the older boxer is greeted with chants of "Ali, bomaye!" which means "Ali, kill him!" Foreman, to Ali's great pleasure, was irritated with this turn of events, but Foreman was easily angered in those days. Ali later takes advantage of this weakness to defeat him in the ring. Using a combination of right-hand leads and verbal taunts, Ali tricks Foreman into punching himself out in the early rounds and subsequently flattens his opponent.
As Ali predicted:
"You think the world was surprised when Nixon resigned? Just wait'll I kick George Foreman's behind."
The boxing footage is terrific, but Gast has added archival film of other Ali-Foreman fights. Spike Lee, assorted sports columnists and other camp followers add compelling commentary, but Foreman, who was first devastated, then redeemed by the licking, isn't interviewed. And that's too bad, because it's almost as if Ali hammered something of himself into Foreman, who would go on to become every bit as affable as Ali. And then, Foreman, too, would challenge time.
Watching the picture, it's impossible not to think of Ali today, trembling and unsteady as he is. And you wonder as you stare at the dazzling young athlete: Would he do it all again if he knew the price? His biographer, Thomas Hauser, assures us that he would, that he loves every day of being Muhammad Ali.
Certainly, nobody ever looked as if he was having more fun than Ali does in "When We Were Kings." And the same goes for everybody around him -- except Foreman. Even cynical old sportswriters look like kids on Christmas morning when they recall memories of "Rumble in the Jungle" fever and those special moments they spent with Ali.
Though there were other kings on hand at the time -- Don, B.B., James "the King of Soul" Brown, not to mention Mobutu -- Ali was, in the words of producer David Sonenberg, "on a whole other level, he was King of the World."
