The documentary Four Horsemen follows the 2011 Academy Award-winning documentary Inside Job. The purpose of both is to begin factually explaining what Occupy points to:
- A “1%” oligarchy within economics, government, and media have transferred wealth from the 99% to themselves. This has been, and is today, massive criminal fraud costing the “99%” trillions of their dollars every year.
- People who can document these crimes are doing so, AND public civic participation is required to build a brighter future for 100% of Earth’s inhabitants.
- Occupy is opportunity for the 99% to recognize the 1%’s crimes centering in money and war (with corporate media to cover-up the crimes), end the crimes through arrests, and create policy for all Earth’s inhabitants.
From Four Horsemen’s Press section:

The Four Horseman is a independent cinematic feature documentary which lifts the lid on how the global economy really works. Living in the age of consequence unfettered growth and profit seeking have pushed humanity to the brink.
Today’s Four Horsemen – socially organized violence, debt, iniquity and poverty control all of our lives. They’re gathering momentum, decimating communities and compromising future generations if they are not arrested the planet will gallop to a logical conclusion.
By dispelling the myth that capitalism has failed the Four Horsemen charts how a vast majority of the world’s population have been made to pay for the greatest heist in history. Capitalism hasn’t failed – it has worked perfectly according to the rules the systems creators have established at the detriment to those who can least afford it.
Younger generations sense innately that something is wrong. Disillusionment and unhappiness are far reaching throughout the developed world where almost everyone has got to the end of the benefits of economic growth.
Four Horsemen film pulls together for the first time 23 of the world’s leading thinkers who have held jobs at the highest level and explain where we go from here and how we can begin to re-engage.
Four Horsemen will be released soon. Click here to add demand for showing in your city.

Virginia Says No To Lawless Imprisonment
By leading anti-war activist David Swanson, author of Day Break and War Is A Lie, who runs the websites DavidSwanson.org and WarIsACrime.org (formerly AfterDowningStreet.org)
Good things do come out of the Virginia state legislature. That normally reprehensible body has just stood up to the federal outrage that has come to be known as the NDAA. The letters stand for the National Defense Authorization Act, but at issue here is not the bulk of that bill. Virginia’s state government has no objection to dumping our grandchildren’s unearned pay into the pockets of war profiteers while our schools lack funding. At issue is the presidential power to lock people up without a trial, which was slipped into the latest military funding bill late last year and signed into law by President Barack Obama on New Year’s Eve. In fact, Virginia’s legislature does not object to that abuse except in one particular circumstance, namely when the victim of it is a U.S. citizen. But in that circumstance, Virginia says Hell No.
Locally in Charlottesville, we rallied at Republican Congressman Robert Hurt’s office.
http://charlottesvillepeace.org/node/2629
We urged him to vote No, and he did so, saying:
“After studying the controversial provisions and after hearing from many in the Fifth District, I concluded that the detainee provisions in the bill did not provide clear and unambiguous protection of the constitutional rights of American citizens. For this reason, I opposed the bill on final passage.”
http://charlottesvillepeace.org/node/2635
Groups from across the political spectrum, including the Bill of Rights Defense Committee, urged passage of a bill in Virginia’s state legislature to nullify the new provisions.

Both houses have now passed the bill by veto-proof margins.
http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?121+sum+HB1160
Here’s what the bill (House bill 1160) says:
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. § 1. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of law, no agency of the Commonwealth as defined in § 8.01-385 of the Code of Virginia, political subdivision of the Commonwealth as defined in § 8.01-385 of the Code of Virginia, employee of either acting in his official capacity, or member of the Virginia National Guard or Virginia Defense Force, when such a member is serving in the Virginia National Guard or the Virginia Defense Force on official state duty, shall aid an agency of the armed forces of the United States in the conduct of the investigation, prosecution, or detention of any citizen pursuant to 50 U.S.C. § 1541 as provided by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (P.L. 112-18, § 1021) if such aid would place any state agency, political subdivision, employee of such state agency or political subdivision, or aforementioned member of the Virginia National Guard or the Virginia Defense Force in violation of the United States Constitution, the Constitution of Virginia, and provision of the Code of Virginia, any act of the General Assembly, or any regulation of the Virginia Administrative Code.
http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?121+ful+HB1160H1
The bill’s primary sponsor, Delegate Bob Marshall, said:
“During World War II, the federal government incarcerated tens of thousands of loyal Japanese Americans in the name of national security. By this bill, Virginia declares that it will not participate in similar modern-day efforts. Even President Obama had questions about the bill, when he promised the American people that he would not use the unrestrained powers it granted him — but why should we trust any President with such powers? There are moments in our history when our liberties hang in the balance. This is one of those moments. I urge the Senate…to lead the way in the nation to ensure that Virginia will not cooperate when the Federal Government strays off the reservation with laws that take away the civil liberties of our citizens.”
http://tenthamendmentcenter.com/2012/02/28/ndaa-nullification-passes-virginia-senate-by-a-veto-proof-39-1-vote/
Presumably the phrase “strays off the reservation” was used with intended irony. In any event, Delegate Marshall got this one right. Obama had insisted on being given these powers and then bizarrely promised not to use them, or at least not to use them in certain ways. According to Obama’s promise in his signing statement, he will choose not to imprison us through the military. Our lawless imprisonments, if non-military, will comply with his promise and his law, but not with the U.S. Constitution. And Virginia will not assist. I can’t recall the last time a state or federal government claiming to represent me did something that made me feel more, rather than less, safe. Predictably, this surprise came from Virginia’s normally medieval legislature before anything of the sort has emerged from war-warped Washington.
Here’s some background on where this issue came from, last December:

LaRouche: “The Whorehouse Seems To Have Taken Over the Republican Candidacies”
The British Empire is deploying its Israeli assets — including such putzes as Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak – -on a full blitz to politically target Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, for removal from his post. The British are enraged at General Dempsey and others within the U.S. military, because they have thrown a monkey-wrench into the British gambit of unleashing a thermonuclear World War III through an Israeli military strike against Iran.
As Lyndon LaRouche stated plainly on Feb. 25: "General Dempsey and his associates are the only reason that you're still alive today, at least so far. Otherwise, thermonuclear World War III would have broken out by now."
Republican Party senators and Presidential candidates have recently been tripping over each other to support the psychotic Netanyahu and Barak against General Dempsey.
"The whorehouse seems to have taken over the Republican candidacies," LaRouche commented sharply Tuesday. "These Republicans are acting like a bunch of ass-kissers. They are trying to get money for their little schemes, searching for campaign money from their friends, with no regard for the consequences of their behavior in the real world."
Today's Wall Street Journal carries an article by Carla Lee and Jay Solomon headlined "U.S. Considers New Message on Iran," which cites "people familiar with the discussions" between the U.S. and Israel saying that Netanyahu is furious at what General Demspey said about Iran being "rational," and demanding that Obama "clarify" the matter—i.e., cashier Dempsey. "Obama could use a speech on Sunday before a powerful pro-Israel lobby [AIPAC] to more clearly define U.S. policy on military action against Iran in advance of his meeting on Monday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu," the Journal article reports.
"Israeli officials were particularly alarmed when Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, described Iran as a 'rational actor' in a CNN interview after a recent visit to Israel," the article says. Netanyahu had lunch last week to discuss this with various visiting American VIPs, including Senators Lindsey Graham and John McCain, both of whom emerged to fully back Netanyahu. "The Israelis are unnerved," Graham said. "They think the administration is sending the wrong signal, and I do too." McCain said he had never seen Netanyahu "that unhappy. He was angry. And, frankly, I've never seen U.S.-Israel relations at this point."
The Wall Street Journal article then delivered the punch line: The March 5 meeting of Obama and Netanyahu "could affect not only the standoff with Iran, but also Mr. Obama's re-election campaign," since U.S.-Israeli tensions — i.e., voices such as General Dempsey's — are "raising concerns among the President's Jewish supporters." Republican Presidential candidates Romney, Santorum, and Gingrich will also be addressing the AIPAC meeting next week.
In other words, the British have put a price on General Dempsey's scalp, which the whores on both side of the aisle are scrambling to collect.

Stanley Kubrick’s Faked Moon Landings
STANLEY KUBRICK is was one of the most universally acclaimed and influential directors of the postwar era. This film suggests he was in fact much more than that, and presents a number of theories about hidden meanings embedded in Kubrick’s movies, including conspiracy-style theories that Kubrick staged the Apollo moon landing.
