Show 695 Part 2 of 6 Documentary- Commanding Heights: The Battle for the World Economy 

This is ACUs audio version of the film documentary.

To watch the Documentary Film visit:  

http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/commanding-heights-battle-world-economy/  

 

 Episode One:   The Battle of Ideas Part 2 of 2    

  A global economy, energized by technological change and unprecedented flows of people and money, collapses in the wake of a terrorist attack .... The year is 1914.

Worldwide war results, exhausting the resources of the great powers and convincing many that the economic system itself is to blame. From the ashes of the catastrophe, an intellectual and political struggle ignites between the powers of government and the forces of the marketplace, each determined to reinvent the world's economic order.

Two individuals emerge whose ideas, shaped by very different experiences, will inform this debate and carry it forward. One is a brilliant, unconventional Englishman named John Maynard Keynes. The other is an outspoken émigré from ravaged Austria, Friedrich von Hayek.

But a worldwide depression holds the capitalist nations in its grip. In opposition to both Keynes and Hayek stand not only Hitler's Third Reich but Stalin's Soviet Union, schooled in the communist ideologies of Marx and Lenin and bent on obliterating the capitalist system altogether.

For more than half a century the battle of ideas will rage. From the totalitarian socialist systems to the fascist states, from the independent nations of the developing world to the mixed economies of Europe, and the regulated capitalism of the United States, government planning will gradually take over the commanding heights.

 

 

 

Commanding Heights: The Battle for the World Economy confronts head-on Americans' critical concerns about the new interconnected world. Based on the best-selling book by Pulitzer Prize-winner Daniel Yergin and Joseph Stanislaw, this groundbreaking series explores our changing world—the great debate over globalization and the future of our society.

Commanding Heights reunites the team that created The Prize— award-winning producer William Cran (From Jesus to Christ) and Daniel Yergin—and is the first in-depth documentary to tell the inside story of our new global economy and what it means for individuals around the world. Filmed on five continents, the powerful narrative combines stunning film footage with dramatic stories and extraordinary interviews with world leaders and thinkers from twenty different countries, including: Bill Clinton, Dick Cheney, former USSR President Mikhail Gorbachev, Mexican President Vicente Fox, Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, Singapore’s Lee Kuan Yew, former Secretary of the Treasury Robert Rubin, Rep. Richard Gephardt, and President George W. Bush's Economic Advisor Lawrence Lindsey.

Commanding Heights dramatically captures the issues that have defined the wealth and fate of nations and shows how the battle over the world economy will shape our lives in the twenty-first century.

But in the 1970s, with Keynesian theory at its height and communism fully entrenched, economic stagnation sets in on all sides. When a British grocer's daughter and a former Hollywood actor become heads of state, they join forces around the ideas of Hayek, and new political and economic policies begin to transform the world.

Show 692 Michael Medved talks to the author of The Future of Power.  Joseph S. Nye Jr. (Author)

Product Description-  In the era of Kennedy and Khrushchev, power was expressed in terms of nuclear missiles, industrial capacity, numbers of men under arms, and tanks lined up ready to cross the plains of Eastern Europe. By 2010, none of these factors confer power in the same way: industrial capacity seems an almost Victorian virtue, and cyber threats are wielded by non-state actors. Politics changed, and the nature of power—defined as the ability to affect others to obtain the outcomes you want—had changed dramatically. Power is not static; its story is of shifts and innovations, technologies and relationships.

Joseph Nye is a long-time analyst of power and a hands-on practitioner in government. Many of his ideas have been at the heart of recent debates over the role America should play in the world: his concept of "soft power" has been adopted by leaders from Britain to China; "smart power” has been adopted as the bumper-sticker for the Obama Administration’s foreign policy. This book is the summation of his work, as relevant to general readers as to foreign policy specialists. It is a vivid narrative that delves behind the elusive faces of power to discover its enduring nature in the cyber age.

Show 691 Book- Deconstructing Obama. The Life, Loves, and Letters of America's First Postmodern President.  Michael Medved talks to the author Jack Cashill. – 2/16/2011

Description- Did Obama write his own books and is the story they tell true?

"I've written two books," Barack Obama told a crowd of teachers in July of 2008. "I actually wrote them myself." The teachers exploded in laughter. They got the joke: lesser politicians were not bright enough to do the same. During the 2008 presidential campaign, Obama supporters pointed to the first of those two books, the 1995 memoir, Dreams from My Father, as proof of Obama's superior intellect. Time magazine called Dreams "the best-written memoir ever produced by an American politician." The Obama campaign machine traded on the candidate's literary reputation, encouraging volunteers to "get out the vote and keep talking to others about the genius of Barack Obama."

There was just one small flaw, as writer and literary detective Jack Cashill discovered months before the November 2008 election: nothing in Obama's history suggested he was capable of writing either Dreams or his 2006 book, The Audacity of Hope. In fact, as Cashill continued his research, he came to the shocking conclusion that the real craftsman behind Dreams was terrorist emeritus Bill Ayers.

"This was a charge," David Remnick admits in his definitive Obama biography, The Bridge, "that if ever proved true, or believed to be true among enough voters, could have been the end of the candidacy."

Deconstructing Obama tells the story of what happens when a citizen journalist discovers a game-changing reality that the media refuse to acknowledge. Despite their rejection, Cashill expanded his research into Obama's literary canon. As he came to see, if Dreams serves as sacred text, the poem "Pop" is the Rosetta stone, the key to deciphering Obama's shrouded past, his fragile psyche, and his uniquely cryptic political life. In unlocking that past, Cashill discovered that the story that Obama has been telling all his life varies from the true story in ways big and small. In fact, much of Obama's life story appears to be a wholly constructed fabrication, one that Jack Cashill "deconstructs" to show the world just who Barack Obama really is.

 Show 690 Segment 1. Dennis Prager talks to Burton Folsom, professor of history at Hillsdale College in Michigan and senior historian at the Foundation for Economic Education in Irvington, New York. His latest book is New Deal or Raw Deal?: How FDR's Economic Legacy Has Damaged America. January 13, 2011

 Segment 2. Dennis talks to Roy Baumeister, Professor of Psychology and head of the social psychology graduate program at Florida State University. His new book is Is There Anything Good About Men?: How Cultures Flourish by Exploiting Men…

 

Synopsis of Book-   Have men really been engaged in a centuries-old conspiracy to exploit and oppress women? Have the essential differences between men and women really been erased? Have men now become unnecessary? Are they good for anything at all?

 

In Is There Anything Good About Men?, Roy Baumeister offers provocative answers to these and many other questions about the current state of manhood in America. Baumeister argues that relations between men and women are now and have always been more cooperative than antagonistic, that men and women are different in basic ways, and that successful cultures capitalize on these differences to outperform rival cultures. Amongst our ancestors—-as with many other species—only the alpha males were able to reproduce, leading them to take more risks and to exhibit more aggressive and protective behaviors than women, whose evolutionary strategies required a different set of behaviors. Whereas women favor and excel at one-to-one intimate relationships, men compete with one another and build larger organizations and social networks from which culture grows. But cultures in turn exploit men by insisting that their role is to achieve and produce, to provide for others, and if necessary to sacrifice themselves. Baumeister shows that while men have greatly benefited from the culture they have created, they have also suffered because of it. Men may dominate the upper echelons of business and politics, but far more men than women die in work-related accidents, are incarcerated, or are killed in battle—facts nearly always left out of current gender debates.

 

Engagingly written, brilliantly argued, and based on evidence from a wide range of disciplines, Is There Anything Good About Men? offers a new and far more balanced view of gender relations.

 

Publishers Weekly

Drawing on psychological and sociological theory in what he acknowledges is an essayistic rather than scholarly work, Florida State psychology professor Baumeister addresses gender roles and equality in a simplistic and even baffling book (as an example of male-female cooperation, he writes, "Most men voted to extend the vote to women," overlooking how long it took before men agreed to cast that vote). The reason men dominate culture and rule the world, he observes, is not that men are superior to women or have designed patriarchy to oppress women but rather that culture grew out of male relationships, which resulted in large structures containing many people (whether to engage in trade or in war), and thus men were always in charge. Whereas women, in Baumeister's view, seek close one-on-one relationships that are not culture-building. The author's belief that future cultures will be better off if they recognize and accept the differences between men and women can sound an awful lot like a "separate but equal" argument. Ultimately, though, Baumeister's repetitious and circular arguments fail to contribute any fresh ideas to the gender debate. (Sept.)

Show 685 Radical-in-Chief   Barack Obama and the Untold Story of American Socialism.

 From the David Horowitz Freedom Center

To view this video and many more visit   http://www.davidhorowitztv.com/

 Speech by Stanley Kurtz, Senior Fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, as well as a contributing editor for National Review Online. His new book is Radical-in-Chief: Barack Obama and the Untold Story of American Socialism.

 

Synopsis of Radical in Chief-  An in-depth examination of President Barack Obama and his policies by journalist and political commentator Stanley Kurtz.

 

STANLEY KURTZ is a Senior Fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, as well as a contributing editor for National Review Online. He has also written for National Review, The Weekly Standard, The Wall Street Journal, Policy Review, and Commentary.

 

Is President Obama a socialist? Now, the definitive answer: Yes -- and the proof is hidden in his past

Barack Obama's opponents sense something more radical in his efforts to be a "transformational" president than mainstream Democratic Party liberalism. But is it fair to call him a socialist? Stanley Kurtz began his investigation into Obama's political beliefs with every expectation of answering that question "no." Now, however, after two years of digging into hitherto unexplored archives and other sources, he has changed my mind. "I am now convinced that the president of the United States is -- literally -- a socialist." In Radical-in-Chief: Barack Obama and the Untold Story of American Socialism, he explains why.

 

As Kurtz reveals, from adolescence right through to his adult political career, Obama lived and worked at the very center of a socialist world. How is that possible? After all, before he ran for office, Obama was immersed in the universe of community organizing -- not "socialism." But that, writes Kurtz, is the link. Community organizing is a socialist world. The reason most people don't know that is that community organizers consciously disguise their socialism.

In fact, reveals Kurtz, Obama's colleagues and mentors were some of the sharpest and most influential stealth-socialist community organizers in the country. Moreover, his overarching political strategy is in large measure borrowed from these teachers. In Radical-in-Chief, Kurtz reconstructs the socialist back-story of community organizing -- and show how deeply Barack Obama remains immersed in that world. Much of the material Kurtz presents has been unknown up to now. All of it suggests that the truth about the president's political convictions is very different from what we've been told.

 

Among the revelations you'll read about here:

 

 How in the 1970's and 1980's -- an era when violent revolution came to seem like a pipe-dream -- America's socialists increasingly turned to community organizing as a way to socialize the country by degrees, through grassroots activism "from below"

 

How, in April of 1983, Obama's life changed forever when, during his senior year at Columbia University, he attended his first of many "Socialist Scholars Conference" in New York -- and there discovered community organizing and its stealth-socialist agenda

 

How Obama's attendance at Socialist Scholars Conferences fully acquainted him with the socialist organizing strategy of the day -- including the hope that elected officials would emerge from a broad-based (but socialist- directed) grassroots movement of the left

 

Obama's long association with an organizer training institute called the Midwest Academy -- whose archives reveal it to be a classic socialist "front group" acting as the coordinating center of a network of foundations, community organizations, issue coalitions, and campaigns

 

How Alice Palmer, the Illinois State Senator who hand- picked Obama as her successor in 1995, worked closely with the Midwest Academy -- a connection that explains a lot about Obama's political start

 

Obama's extensive ties to UNO of Chicago, a radical community organization that in the eighties was a kind of Hispanic counterpart to ACORN -- and how Obama supported and participated in its aggressive actions

 

How by combining a study of UNO of Chicago with an analysis of previously unknown documents from Obama's organizing days, we can reconstruct some of the stories Obama chose to leave out of his famous memoirs

 

The ACORN connection: How previously unknown documents reveal Obama's handling of the ACORN controversy during the presidential campaign as a deeply deceptive attempt to shield his radical past from scrutiny

 

How a rich cache of ACORN documents leads to nearly the whole of Obama's socialist political world -- the Midwest Academy, Bill Ayers and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright included

 

New evidence that suggests that the connection between Obama and 60s terrorist Bill Ayers may long pre-date their supposed initial meeting in 1995 -- and that Ayers's post-election statements regarding his relationship with Obama are misleading

 

Why the importance of the Obama-Ayers relationship has less to do with Ayers's decades-old terrorist adventures than with the foundation-based partnership between the two in support of Chicago's socialist organizing network

 

Jeremiah Wright: Why the hidden basis of his connection to Obama lies in the socialist character of black liberation theology

 

How, contrary to Obama's claims that Wright was simply a religious influence, new evidence indicates that his relationship with Wright was thoroughly political from the start

 

How, during his time in the Illinois State Senate, Obama functioned as a powerful legislative ally to his early socialist organizing network

 

How modern 'stealth' socialism has changed -- and how it continues to influence the Democratic Party

 

What Obama's early legislative experience sheds light on his legislative style as President -- including the blatant use of fiscal trickery to pass health-care reform

 

How Obama's current policies and politics grow directly out of the nexus of socialist associates and theories that has shaped him throughout his adult life

In short, writes Kurtz, Obama has hidden his core political beliefs from the American people. And while many will simply assume that at some point Obama's early socialist phase gave way to a more traditional liberalism, the evidence plainly shows this assumption requires more of a stretch than the record allows. The conclusion is inescapable: "If Americans in 2008 had understood all that I present here about Obama's community organizing mentors and colleagues, I believe he would not be president of the United States today."

May/June 2010 – The New New Deal – Charles R. Kesler

In President Obama, conservatives face the most formidable liberal politician in at least a generation. In 2008, he won the presidency with a majority of the popular vote—something a Democrat had not done since Jimmy Carter’s squeaker in 1976—and handily increased the Democrats’ control of both houses of Congress. Measured against roughly two centuries worth of presidential victories by Democratic non-incumbents, his win as a percentage of the popular vote comes in third behind FDR’s in 1932 and Andrew Jackson’s in 1828. More importantly, Obama won election not as a status quo liberal, but as an ambitious reformer. Far from being content with incremental gains, he set his sights on major systemic change in health care, energy and environmental policy, taxation, financial regulation, education, and even immigration, all pursued as elements of a grand strategy to “remake America.” In other words, he longs to be another FDR, building a New New Deal for the 21st century, dictating the politics of his age, and enshrining the Democrats as the new majority party for several decades to come. Suddenly, the era of big government being over is over; and tax-and-spend liberalism is back with a vengeance. We face a $1.4 trillion federal deficit this fiscal year alone and $10-12 trillion in total debt over the coming decade.

The film tells the story of the Soviet regime.

- The Great Famine in Ukraine (1932/33)
- The Katyn massacre (1940)
- The SS-KGB partnership [
in the late 1930s the KGB was called NKVD- Soviet mass deportations
- Medical experiments in the GULAG.

These are just a few of the subjects covered in the film.

“The Soviet Story” also discusses the impact of the Soviet legacy on modern day Europe. Listen to experts and European MPs discussing the implications of a selective attitude towards mass murder; and meet a woman describing the burial of her new born son in a GULAG concentration camp.
The Soviet Story is a story of pain, injustice and “realpolitik”.

Show 674 This is a audio presentation of the video documentary,  Innocents Betrayed. To watch the video visit:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-H1UY2-YDY

 

Warning: contains very graphic footage.

 

This excellent documentary effectively shatters gun control myths and fallacies. Owning a firearm is not a privilege -- it's a basic right. In fact, it's the basic right to protect yourself and your loved ones.

 

Throughout History, there has been a disturbing pattern: sooner or later (often sooner than later), disarmed populations become the hapless victims of tyrannical governments and criminals. The right to own a weapon is one that is usually conquered in the aftermath of centuries of suffering and genocide.

 

Today, we tend to forget that. Yet, the last 100 odd years were undoubtedly the most brutal of all, in what concerns organized violence against deliberately disarmed populations.

 

This is what "Innocents Betrayed" documents. How innocents are constantly betrayed -- and brutalized -- by gun control.
