Review of the movie Zero Dark Thirty

Review of the movie 'Zero Dark Thirty'

This is is an American movie portraying the man-hunt for the 'most dangerous person' on the planet; his name is Osama Bin Laden.  

The film was directed by Kathryn Bigelow and written by Mark Boal. 

The search for 'Osama' eventually shows him living in a house in Pakistan, and the conclusion of the movie is of a raid on the home and and death of the man. 

This is a well made 'thriller' of a movie.  Many different good actors are involved in the film, however my favourite is Mr Kyle Chandler, who like all of his other films I have watched him in, really gives a convincing performance. 

In this movie he portrays Mr Joseph Bradley, who is a 'Military Base Tie Wearing Manager', located in Pakistan.  He was one of the individuals who needs to give the order to raid the 'home' of Osama Bin Laden.   For this role Mr Kyle Chandler was nominated for the 'Washington Area Film Critics Association Award' for being in the 'Best Ensemble of Cast' in a movie. 

Watch the movie, as it is a very good movie, plus watch the performance of Mr Chandler.   

Thank you,

Culture in Decline, Episode 1 Review

Culture in Decline, Episode 1 Review 

The creator of the documentary 'Zeitgeist films', Mr Peter Joseph, follows this with a 'series' of 12 shows which are 30 minute in length, titled 'Culture in Decline'.  

The first episode of 'Culture in Decline' gives information of what 'Democracy' is and how/when the thought began.  Also, the USA election is looked at, with thoughtful comments made by Mr Joseph.

  

While it may be far easier to define a problem than to solve one, the masses as a whole, that is us, we are too selfish, weak, and ignorant to address this problem, at this time, and Mr Joseph points this out.   

We all know, since we have heard it numerous times on our 'news' networks, however, it is reintegrated in the first episode of 'Culture in Decline' and I will write this in the below paragraph.  

How can we, as a society, not solve the problem that almost half of the world, that is over 3 billion people, are either barely surviving in poverty and sickness, or are simply dying off unnecessarily at a rate of about one person every fee minutes.  All this is occurring in the 'dawn' of an advanced technological realities.  Why are our 'political leaders' not addressing this issue?

I will leave it at this for now.  

I recommend this first episode of 'Culture in Decline' and I have attached the link below.

My Book Review of The Creature from Jekyll Island

My Book Review of 'The Creature from Jekyll Island'

Writer: G. Edward Griffin

The Federal Reserve System, the 'Fed' was conceived during a very secret meeting among an 'elite' group of men, on the island named 'Jekyll', off the coast of Georgia, in 1910. 

          Book cover

Mr Griffin analyzes the development of the Federal Reserve System. 

Also, he completes extensive research on the negative effect of the 'Fed' on our economy.  

The 'secret' meeting was held with six very important/elite men.  

Based on Mr Griffin's calculations, the six men held 1/4 of the entire world's wealth at that time. 

The men held interests of the following wealthy families of:

Rockefeller's, 

Morgan's, 

Rothschild's, and 

Warburg's; who met with the Republican Senator of 

Mr Nelson Aldrich at the Island.  

Mr Griffin takes the reader through a well organized journey; with 26 insightful chapters. 

The most interesting part of the book, in my opinion was, section II. 

This section presents a lengthy look at the monetary system, the gold based currency and finally the fiat currency. 

Mr Griffin presents a pessimistic view of USA with the 'Fed' and gives clear insight into abolishing this organization. 

In many areas of the book, Mr Griffin offers specific reasons why the 'Fed' should be abolished.  He gives the reader evidence and researched proof to back his claims.  

In conclusion, The book 'The Creature from Jekyll Island' is an interesting, easy read, that will intrigue all readers.  I did enjoy the detailed journey through the monetary system of the world and USA. 

I believe everyone should make time to read this educational and insightful book. 

Thank you for reading, 

Ben
