In the shocking and hilarious documentary ORGASM INC., filmmaker Liz Canner takes a job editing erotic videos for a drug trial for a pharmaceutical company. Her employer is developing what they hope will be the first Viagra drug for women that wins FDA approval to treat a new disease: Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD). Liz gains permission to film the company for her own documentary. Initially, she plans to create a movie about science and pleasure but she soon begins to suspect that her employer, along with a cadre of other medical companies, might be trying to take advantage of women (and potentially endanger their health) in pursuit of billion dollar profits. ORGASM INC. is a powerful look inside the medical industry and the marketing campaigns that are literally and figuratively reshaping our everyday lives around health, illness, desire — and that ultimate moment: orgasm.

L'APPROSSIMATIO IN TEMPORA
Italian to English translation
What if one of the most famous Italian physicists and an eclectic thinker known to be drawn quibble about time, about the motion and the concept of limit? We wanted to try it \ 's experiment in trying to bring out a question: are we really sure that rational thinking gives more certainty than what comes naturally?

The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America
This is one of the most fucked up use of scare propaganda I have seen in awhile - play on the emotions, show 'official' sounding quotes and stats - list actual ingredients in things people don't scientifically understand (vaccines in particular) - just enough to put the stupid people into a tizzy against the government and not see the actual story. Amazing - and fucking scary to see how many people comment saying they are so fucking thankful to be fucked with ... yeah

Georgia Prisoners on Strike?!
Revolution by the Book : The AK Press Blog:
"In today’s installment of “what the media doesn’t tell you,” has everyone been following what’s going on in Georgia where thousands of prisoners—thousands—went on strike last Thursday in over a half dozen of the state’s prisons and penitentiaries to protest their treatment and demand their human rights. From the small drips and drabs of information leaking out, it appears that many of the prisons are still on lockdown, and many of the prisoners participating in the strike are suffering violent retribution for their peaceful protest.
Here’s a bit of text from the press release issued by former Panther Party chairperson Elaine Brown, who serves as the primary contact and advisor on the outside for the strike organizers:"

It's the Bankers or Us
Caveat - I typically don't go out of my way to listen to Mr. Jones - he's over the top, loud and somewhat pompous ... but he has some valid points now and then ... this is one of them. In fact ... I think what he is saying is related to the real reason for the sudden slam on Julian Assange - it didn't escape my attention that things heated up exponentially for him after he mentioned 'leaking' some info from a major bank ... yeah ..

Don't shoot messenger for revealing uncomfortable truths | The Australian
Don't shoot messenger for revealing uncomfortable truths | The Australian:
"WIKILEAKS deserves protection, not threats and attacks.
IN 1958 a young Rupert Murdoch, then owner and editor of Adelaide's The News, wrote: 'In the race between secrecy and truth, it seems inevitable that truth will always win.'
His observation perhaps reflected his father Keith Murdoch's expose that Australian troops were being needlessly sacrificed by incompetent British commanders on the shores of Gallipoli. The British tried to shut him up but Keith Murdoch would not be silenced and his efforts led to the termination of the disastrous Gallipoli campaign.
Nearly a century later, WikiLeaks is also fearlessly publishing facts that need to be made public."
