POPSSweet Misery: A Poisoned World [Aspartame documentary] That diet soda is probably destroying your brain. If you don't want to get overweight, drink water and get more movement into your life. But please, STOP DRINKING THIS CANCEROUS CHEMICAL THAT THE CORPORATIONS MAKE SO MUCH MONEY OFF! And for HEAVEN'S SAKE, please don't give this stuff to your kids. That's borderline abuse.

POPSObama to DOJ: Block Terrorist Ad One large group of network affiliates, the Sinclair Broadcast Group — which aired an documentary attacking John Kerry in 2004 — has been running the ads, Obama aides said. The campaign has launched a special effort to pressure Sinclair. Obama has launched a response ad, which addresses McCain directly, and will air in Ohio, Tracey said. "With all our problems, why is John McCain talking about the '60s, trying to link Barack Obama to radical Bill Ayers?" says Obama’s ad. The Obama campaign plans to punish the stations that air the ad financially, an Obama aide said, organizing his supporters to target the stations that air it and their advertisers. McCain’s camp, meanwhile, appears to welcome the controversy. “The fact that is launching his own convention by defending his long association with a man who says he didn't bomb enough U.S. targets tells us more about Barack Obama than any of tonight's speeches will,” said McCain spokesman Brian Rogers.

POPSMurder's You Can Feel Sorry For The experience turned the young Americans not only into professional documentary makers but gave direction to their lives. Their direction is to bring attention to this human disaster, hoping that the attention will force governments to apply pressure to resolve the conflict and free the children. You can also make a difference in the lives of these children. But you are going to have to watch the film first.

POPSDocumentary 911 "Loose Change" We highly encourage you to take it upon yourself to research the events of 9/11 for yourself and come to your own conclusions. "Loose Change Final Cut" is the third edition from Louder Than Words and was released November 11, 2007. Of the several films on the internet of non-conventional theories of what happened during 9/11, the second edition of this film has proven to be a popular favorite. It is the most watched film on the Internet, with over 50 million views as of 2007. We recommend that when one watches this film they do so with an open mind to so that opinions are formed based on facts instead of emotions.

POPSInvisible People - All the lonely people I saw a tiny bit of this then my mind wandered to how its possible to overcome isolation through the internet for example there are loads of apps for the iphone/ipod touch that have location aware social networking which in a city area the possibility of making connections would be massive I presume. If we could make this type of technology available more widely say in libraries or even community iniatives would could bring more people together and help people from becoming isolated oh and the title's from the beatles song which illustrates the situation (Eleanor Rigby)

POPSBBC program Links Temporal lobe to Spituality
Now. I find this stuff fascinatin'! Well worth looking at the BBC videos! I'm not so sure about the text from LJ--kind of a dilletante, that one... Bein' an old Hippie who did a lot of psychedelic drugs (a long time ago--and I'm alive and well 'cuz I avoided Coke and other dumbass drugs) ...so the value of my "spiritual" experiences may be directly correlated with the types of "divine" chemicals i took like psylocibin, peyote, LSD and the good herb Pakalolo---or as the guy says in the last video--it may be God's way of giving us an antenna towards the Divine and doesn't make the experience any less real or important. Developing a Spiritual consciousness rather than the mundane, everyday patterns of thought is quite important, neh? I find that I can get some of the same results by meditating (if I do it with regularity and depth, losing the "I")...of course it's not as much fun without the colors and stuff but just as meaningful, if not more. But then I didn't use drugs as recreation b

POPSJapan's Taiiji Dolphin Hunt Protest This despicable hunt must be stopped, somehow. The Taiji dolphin hunts continue to prosper because the fishermen receive immense profits from selling some of their victims to the captive dolphin industry. The government also gives the fishermen permission to continue the hunt because they consider the dolphins pests who eat too much of the fish stocks around Taiji. Take Action for Dolphins Ask the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums to expel members who accept dolphins from drive fisheries. Information on attending Japan Dolphin Day rallies worldwide on September 3, 2008. Secret Slaughter No Longer Now, a new documentary is in the works which will hopefully alert a greater portion of the public to what is going on in Taiji. Entitled "The Rising," it was filmed secretly by members of the United States conservation group Ocean Preservation Society (OPS) with help from the Save Japan Dolphins coalition. The footage displays the horrible cruelty dolphins are forced to e

POPSMcCain Team Shoves William Ayers Cover-up Into The Spotlight Some highlights: While the University sits on the complete Annenberg Challenge records, several months ago I was able to obtain certain key records of the Challenge - including board minutes, annual and semi-annual reports and financial records - from Brown University's Annenberg Institute. Brown housed the national Annenberg Challenge program that was set up in 1993 by a gift of $500 million from Walter Annenberg. While the material I was provided is helpful it is no substitute for the complete documentary record that is apparently housed at the University of Illinois and thus that public University should immediately make available to the public those records. Below is an analysis of what I found in the documents I was able to obtain.
