Hell of Verdun

Firstly I must warn you that this film is very violently graphic. That for some reason I was unable to watch it twice. That my first impressions were one of complete shock and horror. So I ask you to consider that feeling as you decide to watch it...

Marlena Shaw .. Berry Bothers.. Eleanor Powell .. Wade in the water.

Marlena Shaw's version of wade in the water was always one of those tunes that got my feet a moving and sends goose pimples all over my body every time I listen to it. It's the mixture of brass, drums and soulful lyrics of Marlena that put me in a...

True News 13: Statism is Dead - Part 3 - The Matrix

An interesting take on our unseen incarceration, loosely based on the theme of the movie The Matrix.. I am fairly sure that I cannot add anything more to this otherwise wonderfully scripted video.. I did try, but profoundly failed.. Please enjoy....

WW1 in Colour - Hell in the Trenches

I take the creators own words here. "World War I was the first modern global military conflict which took place in Europe between 1914 to 1918. Archaic military tactics met modern industrialised warfare for the first time, resulting casualties...

The Trial of Socrates - After the Verdict The Trial and Death of Socrates

I think if there was ever a way to disrupt the thoughts and machinations of the mystic, both religious or political. Then perhaps Socrates parting speech to his judges and accusers deals a blow better than no other. Stefan Molyneux narrates his...
