Collateral Murder

WikiLeaks has released a classified US military video depicting the indiscriminate slaying of over a dozen people in the Iraqi suburb of New Baghdad -- including two Reuters news staff.Reuters has been trying to obtain the video through the Freedom of Information Act, without success since the time of the attack. The video, shot from an Apache helicopter gun-sight, clearly shows the unprovoked slaying of a wounded Reuters employee and his rescuers. Two young children involved in the rescue were also seriously wounded. >http://collateralmurder.org/

CLUB FOOT 30th Anniversary

CLUB FOOT was the collaborative brain child of several creatively starved individuals recently arrived in San Francisco from the East coast (August78') who were searching
for a new kind of public venue with which to promote their eclectic mix of socio-political critique, art performance, degenerate/ avant/jazz/pop musical influences,
and personal aesthetic. Originally conceived by Richard Kelly and JC Garrett along with Richard Edson they were soon joined by Cindy Buff and Kippy Robinson
in establishing a cabaret w/rehearsal studio and record label attached. The art/music/performance group the ALTERBOYS became the ad hoc house band.

Edward Bernays, Freud's american nephew, showed to American corporations

to their unconcious desires. each part: 58' >via internet archive

The Century of the Self, Part 02: The Engineering of Consent

This is the story of how Zigmung Freud's ideas about the uncouncious mind,
was use by those in power in post-war America to try controll and manipulate the masses...

The Century of The Self, Part 03: There is a Policeman Inside All Our Heads: He Must Be Destroyed

In the 1960s, a radical group of psychotherapists challenged the influence of Freudian ideas in America.
Out of this came a political movement that sought to create new beings free of the psychological conformity.
This rapidly developed into the irresistible rise of the expressive self: the Me Generation.
But the American corporations and politics soon realised that this new self was not a threat but their greatest opportunity...

The Century of The Self, Part 04: Eight People Sipping Wine in Kettering

This final episode explains how politicians on the left, in both Britain with Tony Blair and America with Bill Clinton,
used the focus group, which had been invented by psychoanalysts, in order to regain power.
They set out to mould their policies to people's inner desires and feelings, just as capitalism had learnt to do with products.
What they didn't realise was that the aim of those who had originally created these techniques had not been to liberate the people
but to develop a new way of controlling them.
