The Great Global Warming Swindle (2007 TV Movie)

Solid Factual Data by reputable scientist opposing the 97% consensus

[10/10 · 16 August 2016]

Best suited for critical thinkers, i.e., those with open minds, seekers of truth and not selling out to make money by cheating the system.

Saw this documentary about 4 years ago at a time when I believed man caused CO2 was causing earth's average temperature to rise. But I was so ill-informed at that time that I chose to believe what the main stream news medias were pushing! After nearly four years of closely investigating all aspect of this issue, I returned today to watch this documentary a 2nd time.

Now is comes across as extremely obvious that we are being scammed. Dr. Judith Curry warned us a couple of years ago that this is a prime example of an "ERROR CASCADE"..... one in which all medias feed off each other's erroneous information further deceiving, not only the public but even themselves....

This has happened in history before several times and sometimes with horrific results. The worst case seems to be the 3rd Reich taking control of the German mainstream news media in the 1930's influencing the entire German population and much of the 1st World to believe horrible lies that led to the death of millions.

Attacking the Devil: Harold Evans and the Last Nazi War Crime (2014)

Incredible with shocking revelations

[10/10 · 18 June 2016]

It would be a mistake for anyone to miss this incredible and revealing documentary about a horrible pharmaceutical tragedy that could have been easily avoided.

It helps us to see just how far corrupt corporations were and may still go to protect themselves from paying for their own mistakes. But it also shows how one great man....dedicated himself to righting this horrible injustice.

There is one shocking surprise after another....but also a positive ending. I am surprised this man was not given a Nobel Peace Prize for his unselfish efforts on behalf of innocent victims.

But what is the connection to Concentration camps?

Bridge of Spies (2015)

Everyone needs to see this movie IMHO

[10/10 · 6 June 2016]

We were vacationing in Germany only last week. But as soon as my wife and I returned home, everyone who had seen this movie strongly recommended that we see it. Turns out that we were standing in each and every location shown in the movie including the outside of the Russian and US embassy as well as the streets, bridges and historic sites shown in the movie.

So, not only is this movie strongly tied to the real locations but also the U2 spy plane news story that I personally recall seeing in the news years ago....

The best part of the movie is the accurate portrayal of the exceptional main character..... and there are some wonderful surprises as well.

The Shock Doctrine (2007)

Keystone XL would become the Artery of Death!

[1/10 · 27 May 2015]

One would expect a great film documentary to be based, first and foremost, on a great book. But IMHO not in this case! The book starts out well with some solid factual data so as to gain some credibility then goes down hill from there. The book is not well organized, lacks brevity and clarity and is quite frankly a confusing and very hard read......Arguments in favour of reconfiguring evil capitalism into something better falls flat on its face.

The artery of death comment is just one of several examples of hyperbole..... and over the top claims about catastrophic climate change etc.

In view of the recent epic failures of wind and solar alternative energy offerings in Germany, the author leave no room for reasonable alternatives to petroleum and coal based economies. This is not surprising since her scientific knowledge does not appear to extend much beyond high school level. And BTW according to my data source, this author failed to complete a college or University education. So the question is..... How did this author make it this far? Well for one thing...... she arranged for the "Occupy Wall Street protesters to immediately align with a proposed Keystone XL protest at the National Mall in Washington DC. So the optics looked very good for mainstream media coverage which in turn had a powerful impact on voter perception and in turn key political decisions made at the White House.

But rest assured, the book on which this documentary is based will get rave reviews by those in the "Occupy Wall Street" movement as well as the scientifically illiterate eco-environmentalist!
