"The Power Principle" - highly recommended documentary
A gripping, deeply informative account of the plunder, hypocrisy, and mass violence of plutocracy and empire; insightful, historically grounded and highly relevant to the events of today.
This documentary is about the foreign policy of the United States. It demonstrates the importance of the political economy, the Mafia principle, propaganda, ideology, violence and force.
It documents and explains how the policy is based on the interest of major corporations and a tiny elite to increase profits and the United States governments own interests in maintaining and expanding its imperialistic influence.
Inside the United States this has been made possible with a propaganda of fear for the horrible enemies like the Soviet Union, Communists and so on and a love for free markets, democracy, freedom and so on.
This is a quite lengthy (three parts totally nearly 4½ hours) but well worthwhile look at just how we got to our present predicament. Features Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn and numerous other respected voices.
