Resist the brandwashing of America.
Avoid the system of thousands of channels and websites
focused on the needs of advertisers and marketers.

The Corporation (2003)
This documentary, also a book, (important for its clear summary and examples of many of the worlds problems), looks at the concept of the corporation throughout recent history up to its present-day dominance. Read more about The Corporation at the Internet Movie Database*. Mark Achbar co-directed The Corporation, Manufacturing Consent, and co-wrote the 1985 comedy The Canadian Conspiracy.

Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media (1992)
"A primer in intellectual self-defense" about the noted American linguist/political dissident and his warning about corporate media's role in modern propaganda. Very heavy, very important, very scary.

The purpose of this world is not 'to have and to hold' but 'to give and to serve.' There can be no other meaning.
