Sin is what’s destroying the planet and the people in it:(
watch Century of the Self if you want to see how all this really started.
the Venues Project Is what we need to go forward to
The Zeitgeist Movement is the understanding we need to get us there
No Consumers, NO Politics, No money, ,….
Yet ANOTHER reason to start moving from a monetary based economy into a resoues based globel cummunity.
hahahha
It’s so absurd that publicity companies have the power to actualy regulate what the FTC has athority over. But I guess if you bribe enough congressmen under the rig of lobbying you can do anything.
OH, I thought this was a tutorial on cooking children..
Does anyone know any links to videos on ACTUALLY consuming kids?? thanks
Indeed it is. I reckon I’ve seen millions of documentaries, and I can also recommend “The Fantastic Global Warming Swindle”, “9/11: Blueprint for Truth”, “Zero: An Investigation into 9/11″, “Fall of the Republic”, and many others.
@camreeno360 which is such a fantastic documentary..
I did watch the rest. And yes, I realize it goes into much more depth now…
Speaking of documentaries you should also try out out “America: Freedom to Fascism”…
That would be an inaccurate assessment. While the first part of this documentary does touch on some of the same issues in a broad manner, it is more of a means to establish precedent for the rest of the information. I would suggest that you watch the additional 6 parts and then share your opinion. To the poster of the documentary, thanks for the upload!
Even Sesame Street has been dumbed down and commercialized, 0Krusnik0.
How sad is that?
This goes over a lot of the same stuff as The Corporation.
Sad BUT right!!!
I have a 7 month ancient baby and I can see what taking place. I hope a lot of parents see this and do some thing in this area it. thank you for the heads up.
this is fabulous! how do we get it out in the open more?
I dunno, the numbers quoted don’t seem too disproportionate to me, especially when you take into account that most of it is by the wealthy.
capitalism kills man
they need to show this documentary in PTA meetings so parents and teachers are more aware of this. If more and more people start realizing the problem, then we’ll see chat. Sad how the world is right? people risk their morals just for money.
It’s rare when my kids watch TV – usually Saturday mornings – since it’s banned during the school week. When they do, the standing order is that the Mute pin is pressed when a money-making comes on. It started when the decibel level got super high, and I wanted it turned down. Then I convinced the kids that it’d be more fascinating to watch the money-making, muted, and see if they may possibly figure out what was being sold and why. Made a lot of food/toy commercials look really ridiculous.
My TV is going off and my kids will be watching cartoons by DVD minus ads (counting those in the cartoons!).
this is terrible i never knew when i was a kid i was such a fag when i was 5 i would always nag at age 10 i stopped nagging my god i controlled the economy kinda when i was a kid
Thanks, Jews!
Here are two simple alternatives: Parents can turn off the TV and Public TV has some brilliant children’s shows.
I have a small sister who freaks out whenever she sees an advertisement for a toy she wants on t.v. It drives me crazy! I try not to watch too much television anymore. I’ve noticed that the volume increases everytime there’s a comercial break. Sometimes I just want to rip that idiot box from the wall and send it down a three tale building.
