<p style="text-align: justify;">The Obama Deception is a hard-hitting film that completely destroys the myth that Barack Obama is working for the best interests of the American people.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Obama phenomenon is a hoax carefully crafted by the captains of the New World Order. He is being pushed as savior in an attempt to con the American people into accepting global slavery.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We have reached a critical juncture in the New World Order&#8217;s plans. It&#8217;s not about Left or Right: it&#8217;s about a One World Government. The international banks plan to loot the people of the United States and turn them into slaves on a Global Plantation.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Covered in this film: who Obama works for, what lies he has told, and his real agenda. If you want to know the facts and cut through all the hype, this is the film for you.<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva; font-size: small;">Watch the Obama Deception and learn how:</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">- Obama is continuing the process of transforming America into something that resembles Nazi Germany, with forced National Service, domestic civilian spies, warrantless wiretaps, the destruction of the Second Amendment, FEMA camps and Martial Law.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">- Obama&#8217;s handlers are openly announcing the creation of a new Bank of the World that will dominate every nation on earth through carbon taxes and military force.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">- International bankers purposefully engineered the worldwide financial meltdown to bankrupt the nations of the planet and bring in World Government.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">- Obama plans to loot the middle class, destroy pensions and federalize the states so that the population is completely dependent on the Central Government.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">- The Elite are using Obama to pacify the public so they can usher in the North American Union by stealth, launch a new Cold War and continue the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The information contained in this film is vital to the future of the Republic and to freedom worldwide. President Barack Obama is only the tool of a larger agenda. Until all are made aware, humanity will remain captive to the masters of the New World Order.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_571" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-571" title="frontline_private_warriors_card_front" src="http://www.awakensource.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/frontline_private_warriors_card_front-300x214.jpg" alt="Private War Contractors" width="300" height="214" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Private War Contractors</p></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As the Army struggles to meet recruitment numbers, FRONTLINE takes a hard look at private contractors servicing U.S. military supply lines, running U.S. military bases, and protecting U.S. diplomats and generals. Between the logistics giant Halliburton and a myriad of armed security companies, private military contractors comprise the second largest &#8220;force&#8221; in Iraq, far outnumbering all non-U.S. forces combined. There are as many as 100,000 civilian contractors and approximately 20,000 private security forces.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In &#8220;Private Warriors,&#8221; FRONTLINE correspondent Martin Smith travels throughout Kuwait and Iraq to give viewers <a href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/warriors/report/">an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look</a> at companies like Kellogg, Brown &amp; Root, a Halliburton subsidiary, and its civilian army. KBR has 50,000 employees in Iraq and Kuwait that run U.S. military supply lines and operate U.S. military bases. KBR is also the largest contractor in Iraq, providing the Army with $11.84 billion dollars in services since 2002.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Historically, there is nothing new about the military&#8217;s use of <a href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/warriors/contractors/">private contractors</a>, but the Iraq war has seen outsourcing on an unprecedented scale. The policy change came after the Cold War when the Pentagon was downsizing under then Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney. Cheney first hired Halliburton as a consultant and later became the company&#8217;s president. Halliburton subsidiary KBR is now one of the largest recipients of government contracts.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><object id="VideoPlayback" style="width: 600px; height: 326px;" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="100" height="100" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="src" value="http://video.google.ca/googleplayer.swf?docid=7862817097372884081&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=true" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed id="VideoPlayback" style="width: 600px; height: 326px;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100" height="100" src="http://video.google.ca/googleplayer.swf?docid=7862817097372884081&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=true" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">FRONTLINE visits the biggest Halliburton/KBR run base, Camp Anaconda, in the Sunni triangle. Behind concrete walls 28,000 soldiers and 8,000 civilians live in bases that offer Taekwondo and Salsa lessons, movie theatres, fast food courts, and four meals a day. The amenities are impressive, but some argue that there is a price to pay. Says a former base commander <a href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/warriors/interviews/hammes.html">Marine Colonel Thomas X. Hammes,</a> &#8220;it&#8217;s misguided luxury … somebody&#8217;s risking their lives to deliver that luxury.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And while KBR was glad to provide Smith with a tour of the facilities, they weren&#8217;t able or willing to answer some basic questions about how much certain services &#8212; like feeding the troops &#8212; cost. Smith eventually finds some answers from the Army base commander, but numerous audits are underway to determine just how the contracts are being fulfilled. In response to allegations of overcharging in the tens of millions of dollars, KBR&#8217;s Vice President of Worldwide Military Affairs, <a href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/warriors/interviews/cerjan.html">Paul Cerjan</a> says, &#8220;the only thing we can do is stand up and give a true and honest evaluation of what we&#8217;ve done. … And let whoever is making the assessment make the assessment. We are not afraid of that process.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Private Warriors&#8221; also explores a very different kind of contractor &#8212; the private world of security teams that work for firms like Blackwater, Aegis, and Erinys. They provide armed protection for U.S. government officials, government offices, military installations and even military commanders.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;The Pentagon&#8217;s increasing reliance on outsourcing military functions raises important questions about accountability and the chain of command,&#8221; says Smith. Through <a href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/warriors/interviews/">conversations</a> with top military commanders, policy planners, military experts, and contractors, &#8220;Private Warriors&#8221; explores some of the dangers in bringing in the private sector to prosecute the war.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Warns George Washington University Professor <a href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/warriors/interviews/schooner.html">Steve Schooner</a>, an expert on military contracting, &#8220;We have tens of thousands of armed contractors in Iraq defending the Green Zone, defending the military, defending contractors… But they&#8217;re not part of the military command structure.&#8221; Schooner suggests there can be trouble when private contractors carry weapons and have tactical responsibilities yet aren&#8217;t getting the same information or direction. <a href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/warriors/interviews/singer.html">Peter Singer</a>, a fellow at the Brookings Institution and author of &#8220;Corporate Warriors&#8221; agrees: &#8220;There&#8217;s a bubbling resentment … and you&#8217;re starting to sense a backlash from the military.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Smith obtains unusual access to Erinys, a British private security company. They have been charged with protecting the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and are paid $50 million a year for the task. Erinys is staffed with an assortment of ex-Special Forces and policemen from around the world. A private security guard at Erinys makes approximately $400 dollars a day, twice what a soldier makes. Some guards make up to $1000 a day. While some see these men as hired guns, they do not view themselves that way. They say they are just men with more expertise than the military when it comes to protection. If <a href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/warriors/interviews/melville.html">Andy Melville</a>, a project manager with Erinys in Iraq is correct, private warriors could become more prevalent in Iraq.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Americans would like to withdraw troop members,&#8221; says Melville. &#8220;And perhaps it is part of their policy to reduce troop members and replace them with private security contractors.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Given the recent difficulties in obtaining enough recruits for the Army, FRONTLINE asked the Pentagon for a high-ranking official to discuss if there are plans to place greater reliance on private warriors and to address other questions about accountability and costs. The Pentagon declined to provide anyone to be interviewed after acknowledging this was a sensitive issue.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Like regular soldiers, security contractors have a high profile, and increasingly, find themselves being targeted by insurgents and have suffered casualties as a result. Indeed, the dangers of this war come into sharp focus in the film. A security guard with another company, who accompanies Smith on a run to a reconstruction site north of Baghdad, was killed less than 24 hours later by a suicide car bomb. The next day, Blackwater lost six men when a helicopter carrying their employees was shot down by a rocket-propelled grenade. In a spike of violence, 18 private contractors were killed during the two-week period the FRONTLINE team was in Iraq.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Private Warriors&#8221; also reexamines one of the most shocking episodes of the war, when the charred remains of Scott Helvenston, Wes Batalona, Jerry Zovko, and Michael Teague &#8212; killed while protecting a truck convoy headed to pick up kitchen equipment &#8212; were desecrated and strung over a bridge in Fallujah in March 2004. FRONTLINE follows <a href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/warriors/contractors/highrisk.html">their story</a> and speaks to close personal friends and family who claim that the four men were poorly equipped for the mission, lacking vehicle armor and sufficient manpower to fend off an attack.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In addition to lingering questions about accountability in the incident, Marine Colonel <a href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/warriors/interviews/toolan.html">John A. Toolan</a>, who was ordered into the city to find the killers, found himself forced to change his original plan for quelling hostilities. The private contractors had gone in unbeknownst to the Marines. Colonel Toolan tells FRONTLINE, &#8220;Certainly the next time … I&#8217;m sent some place with Marines, the amount of control that I need to establish up front is gonna be clear.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Private Warriors&#8221; ends on the infamous Baghdad Airport Road. In the last four months there have been at least 150 attacks on this 5-mile stretch. So far the U.S. military and their partners in the private sector have been unable to secure this vital link. Smith has his own private security guards as he travels along what Iraqis call Death Road. He leaves behind a country where the fact that business for the private contractors is booming signals how difficult and dangerous the situation remains.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The film tells the disputed story of Ruhal Ahmed, Asif Iqbal and Shafiq Rasul (the ‘Tipton Three’); three young British men from Tipton in the West Midlands who were captured by the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan in 2001 and detained as “enemy combatants” at Guantánamo Bay, without charge or legal representation, for nearly three years. As well as interviews with the three men themselves and archive news footage from the period, the film contains an account of the three men’s experiences following their capture by the Northern Alliance, the subsequent handover to the United States military and their detention in Cuba. It contains several scenes depicting their alleged beatings during interrogation, the use of alleged torture techniques such as ’stress positions’ and attempts to extract forced confessions of involvement with Al-Qaeda and the Taliban.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_447" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 238px"><img class="size-full wp-image-447" title="reckoning_oborne1_228x120" src="http://www.awakensource.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/reckoning_oborne1_228x120.jpg" alt="Iraq - The Reckoning" width="228" height="120" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Iraq - The Reckoning</p></div>
<p>Peter Oborne, political editor of the Spectator, reports on the West’s exit strategy for Iraq. He believes the invasion of Iraq is proving to be the greatest foreign policy failure since Munich. Oborne argues that the plan to transform Iraq into a unified liberal democracy, a beacon of hope in the Middle East, is pure fantasy. Reporting on location with US troops in Sadr City, and through interviews with leading figures in Britain and the US, Oborne argues that the coalition and its forces on the ground are increasingly irrelevant in determining the future of Iraq – a future that’s unlikely to be either unified, liberal or democratic. The film includes interviews with Richard Perle, Peter Galbraith, Deputy Chief of Army staff General Jack Keane. Oborne also interviews Rory Stewart, who worked as a deputy governor in Nasyriah and witnessed first hand the rise of the pro-Iranian fundamentalist parties that are now at the heart of the Iraqi government.</p>

<p>Militainment, Inc.</em> offers a fascinating, disturbing, and timely glimpse into the militarization of American popular culture, examining how U.S. news coverage has come to resemble Hollywood film, video games, and “reality television” in its glamorization of war. Mobilizing an astonishing range of media examples – from news anchors’ idolatry of military machinery to the impact of government propaganda on war reporting – the film asks: How has war taken its place in the culture as an entertainment spectacle? And how does presenting war as entertainment affect the ability of citizens to evaluate the necessity and real human costs of military action?

<div id="attachment_402" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 359px"><img class="size-full wp-image-402" title="checkpoint" src="http://www.awakensource.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/checkpoint.jpg" alt="Israeli Check Point" width="349" height="500" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Israeli Check Point</p></div>
<p>Over three million Palestinians live in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, which has been under Israeli military authority since 1967. Israeli director Yoav Shamir documents the impact of the enforced boundaries known as “checkpoints” on the Israeli border guards drafted to monitor them and the Palestinian citizens who must pass through them daily.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Shot in a cinema verite style, a style of documentary filmmaking that stresses unbiased realism, the film shows these anonymous, one-time encounters between both sides and the lasting political, social and cultural effects. <em>Checkpoint</em> gives a chilling look at the destructive impact on both societies.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This movie is riveting. I can only call the treatment of the Palestinians trying to get through the checkpoint humiliating (and shocking). The woman are harassed and the men are abused. The border guards fair no better in system that places these young men in situations beyond their training or capacity for judgement.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is a real-time tragedy unfolding on the screen, full of hapless players, endless conflict, and implied ripples for generations. When the old Palestinian heads for the border line saying “Shoot me” you wonder how far it will go. If you love freedom, this movie is painful.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_397" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 297px"><img class="size-full wp-image-397 " title="mywarmystory_store" src="http://www.awakensource.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/mywarmystory_store.jpg" alt="My War, My Story" width="287" height="344" /><p class="wp-caption-text">My War, My Story</p></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Iraq war vets from across the country talk about why many of them oppose the war. Most of these vets remain loyal to their branch of the service, but believe that U.S. involvement in Iraq is wrong. This documentary is not a statement from the political left– many of these vets who now abhor the war come from conservative backgrounds.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You will meet Dave, from Illinois, who believed he was there to help the Iraqi people. After witnessing families living in rubble, with no running water or electricity, he began to question the validity of the war. There is Fernando from the Bronx, who feels it’s outrageous that corporations are making billions at the expense of soldiers who come mostly from the working class. And there is Abbie, who has tried to resume normal activities like dating and going back to college, but has struggled with her fragile nerves.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You will also hear of civilians killed at checkpoints. Eric, from Chicago describes the accidental slaughter of three generations of a family. Jimmy from North Carolina ordered his Marines to open fire on a speeding car, which turned out to be full of civilians. What effects do incidents like these have in the long run on returning vets?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The film is divided into ten topical sections: Why Are We in Iraq?, Support the Troops, On Coming Home, etc. The style is very open, candid and informal. There is some footage from Iraq, including live combat footage involving one of the vets. Many of the vets remain very troubled by their experiences. For them, the war will never be over.</p>

<div id="attachment_345" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 209px"><strong><em><strong><em><img class="size-medium wp-image-345" title="the_revolution_will_not_be_televise" src="http://www.awakensource.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/the_revolution_will_not_be_televise-199x300.gif" alt="The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" width="199" height="300" /></em></strong></em></strong><p class="wp-caption-text">The Revolution Will Not Be Televised</p></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>The Revolution Will Not Be Televised</em></strong> (a.k.a. <em><strong>Chavez: Inside the Coup</strong></em>) is a 2002 documentary about the April 2002 Venezuelan coup attempt which briefly deposed Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez. A television crew from Ireland&#8217;s national broadcaster, RTÉ happened to be recording a documentary about Chávez during the events of April 11, 2002. Shifting focus, they followed the events as they occurred. During their filming, the crew recorded images of the events that they say contradict explanations given by Chávez&#8217;s opposition, the private media, the US State Department, and then White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer. The documentary says that the coup was the result of a conspiracy between various old guard and anti-Chávez factions within Venezuela and the United States.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The film won twelve awards at film festivals and was nominated for another four.<sup id="cite_ref-COUP_3-0"><span> </span></sup> Among those prizes were the <em>Silver Hugo</em> award for the <em>Best Documentary</em> in the Chicago International Film Festival (2003), the <em>Banff Rockie Award</em> as <em>Best Information &amp; Current Affairs Program</em> at the Banff Television Festival (2003) and the <em>International Documentary Association&#8217;s</em> <em>IDA Award</em> (2003).<sup id="cite_ref-TV_2-1"><span> </span></sup></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>The Revolution Will Not Be Televised</em> has been widely debated among both supporters and critics of Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez. Frank Scheck, for <em>The Hollywood Reporter</em>, says about <em>The Revolution will not be televised</em>, a.k.a <em>Chávez: Inside the Coup</em>:</p>
<blockquote style="text-align: justify;"><p>While the filmmakers were necessarily limited to filming what was in their immediate orbit, their close proximity to the events at hand results in often gripping footage, and the finished product resembles a taut if at times confusing and inadvertently comic political thriller. One might have hoped for a little more in the way of analysis and historical context, but on the other hand, with its mere 74-minute running time, the film earns points for brevity and succinctness.</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Nick Fraser, <em>Storyville Series</em> Editor for BBC &#8211; UK, on his <em>Commissioner&#8217;s Comment</em> over <em>The Revolution Will Not Be Televised</em> said:</p>
<blockquote style="text-align: justify;">
<div>The result is a brilliant piece of journalism but it is also an astonishing portrait of the balance of forces in Venezuela. On one side stand the Versace wearing classes, rich from many decades of oil revenues, and on the other the poor in their barrios and those within the armed forces who support Chávez.The media, who ought to be merely reporting the conflict splitting the country down the middle, are in fact adjuncts of the coup-makers.</p>
<p>Watch this film and you may truly for the first time in your life understand the term media bias.</p></div>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">J. Hoberman, for <em>The Village Voice</em> says:</p>
<blockquote style="text-align: justify;"><p>In addition to reporting a scoop, Bartley and O&#8217;Briain do an excellent job in deconstructing the Venezuelan TV news footage of blood, chaos, and rival crowds. As befits its title, <em>The Revolution Will Not Be Televised</em> is nearly a textbook on media manipulation.</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Writing for The New York Times, Stephen Holden comments:</p>
<blockquote style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">More than a scary close-up look at the raw mechanics of a power grab, the film is also a cautionary examination of the use of television to deceive and manipulate the public.</p>

<div id="attachment_267" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 315px"><img class="size-full wp-image-267  " title="250809top2" src="http://www.awakensource.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/250809top2.jpg" alt="Fall of the Republic" width="305" height="432" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Fall of the Republic</p></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Alex Jones’ highly anticipated upcoming documentary <em>Fall of the Republic: The Presidency of Barack Obama</em> boldly lifts the lid and unveils the fraud behind <em>Brand Obama</em> and how the globalists are using their newest, and slickest ever puppet to destroy the last vestiges of America’s freedom, Constitution and economy, all while helping the bankers loot the country clean.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The film exposes the agenda that Obama was put in place to accomplish, a world government allied with a bank of the world run by globalist eugenicists hell-bent on destroying America’s first world status and replacing it with a hollow shell of tyranny.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The mind control, the television programming, and all the media talking points that serve to reinforce the image of <em>Brand Obama </em>are laid bare, unveiling the naked ruth, as legendary author and documentary film maker John Pilger recently discussed, that Obama is nothing more than a corporate marketing creation, a skilled hypnotist using seductive tools of propaganda – race, gender and class – to hoodwink the masses into accepting his rhetoric while ignoring the contradiction of his actions.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The film exposes how <em>Brand Obama </em>says one thing – to make people buy into the brand – and then the real Obama does another.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The burgeoning police state, warrantless wiretapping, secret arrests, indefinite detention of citizens, torture, the war in Afghanistan, the war in Pakistan, have all been expanded under <em>Brand Obama </em>despite his promises to reverse them all.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The real question to ask is not which class Obama claims to represent or fight for, but which class Obama serves. <em>Fall of the Republic</em> leaves no room for doubt that the class Obama serves is the elite and it is their agenda he is diligently following.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Loose Change: Final Cut has arrived. Two days ahead of the original schedule, the long awaited final version of the film that took the 9/11 truth movement mainstream is now available to buy on DVD. The original Loose Change and Loose Change 2nd Edition have been viewed at least 50 million times over the Internet, making it one of the most watched movies in history, but the Final Cut goes above and beyond, making it not simply the third in a trilogy but a completely new film with oodles of unseen footage, commentary, interviews and eyewitness testimony.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In an effort to be the catalyst for a new independent investigation of 9/11, the film features new and exclusive interviews with firefighters, EMT’s, first responders and other officials who were all eyewitnesses to multiple secondary explosions in the twin towers and around the ground zero area.</p>
