The Right To Public Assembly

Article 20.
1. Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association.
2. No one may be compelled to belong to an association.

On December 10, 1948 the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights the full text of which appears in the following pages. Following this historic act the Assembly called upon all Member countries to publicize the text of the Declaration and “to cause it to be disseminated, displayed, read and expounded principally in schools and other educational institutions, without distinction based on the political status of countries or territories.”

Unconstitutional – The War On Our Civil Liberties

Unconstitutional: The War on Our Civil Liberties, is the third in a series of Public Interest Pictures films that follows Unprecedented: The 2000 Presidential Election and Uncovered: The War on Iraq. True to their legacy, Unconstitutional provides the facts and stories that illuminate administration lies, wrongheaded policies, and the real victims of these actions–the American people.

It’ll remind you of what America used to stand for and what it seems we’re falling for now. In short, this one-hour film will affirm why you’re angry and give you a tool to help others join your ranks

Green Mental Health: An Alternative to Toxic Psychiatric Drugs

Psychiatry’s solution to life’s problems is the administration of mind-altering toxic drugs which according to the U.S. FDA can cause mania, worsening depression, anxiety, delusions, seizures, liver failure, suicide, mania, heart attack, stroke, fatal blood clots, sudden death, diabetes and much more. Green Mental Health Care is a non-toxic, non-addictive and non-invasive approach to mental health which focuses on workable medical, not psychiatric, solutions that have better patient outcomes and are not harmful or toxic to those seeking help. Nutritional biochemist Genita Petralli has dedicated her life to helping people with mental difficulties by finding and treating undiagnosed physical conditions that manifest as psychiatric symptoms. She has also helped many people recover from the devastating effects and addicting nature of the psychiatric drugs prescribed them.

“My life is dedicated to reclaiming lives from psychiatric drugs and exposing psychiatry for what it is; a gang of white collar drug pushers robbing our society of every resource that supports it right down to our future; the children. To sit on the sidelines and do nothing while I watch people suffer from the effects of psychiatric drugs is not an option.” Genita Petralli

Controlling Our Food – The World According To Monsanto

The world according to Monsanto is a thought-provoking, 109-minute documentary, first shown in 2008 in Europe, and is a must see for anyone concerned about the future of food.

French documentary filmmaker Marie-Monique Robin has thoroughly researched her subject, conducting a three-year investigation in North and South America, Europe and Asia.

Robin briefly explores Monsanto’s long history of producing toxic chemicals, such as PCBs and dioxin-laced Agent Orange, and interviews victims of the company’s chemical operations. But the film devotes more attention to Monsanto’s 20-year old genetically engineered seed empire. Hitherto unpublished documents and candid interviews with scientists, farmers and former U.S. government officials reveal a disturbing pattern of deceit, impunity and corruption. Robin reveals Monsanto’s astonishing influence on the U.S. government’s rubber-stamp regulatory process for GMOs, as well as its attempt to bribe Canadian government regulators to approve its bovine growth hormone product. The film also features interviews of U.S. farmers sued by Monsanto for the newly-minted “crime” of seed-saving, Indian farmers victimized by the company’s expensive Bt cotton seed, and South American farmers marginalized by massive expansion of Monsanto’s “Roundup Ready” soybeans.

Is Monsanto the clean, green company it claims to be, committed to solving world hunger? Or do its growing control of the world’s seed supply, its exorbitantly priced seeds and prosecution of farmers for saving them, and its commitment to spreading chemical-intensive agriculture around the world, portend instead a threat to the world’s food security?

These are obviously important questions, and the little-known perspectives provided by Controlling our food: The world according to Monsanto are essential information for anyone who is genuinely seeking answers.

Everything You HAVE TO KNOW About Dangerous Genetically Modified Foods



Expert Jeffrey M. Smith, author of the #1 GMO bestseller Seeds of Deception, and Genetic Roulette, entertains a wildly appreciative audience with shocking facts about how genetically modified organisms (GMOs) entered our lives. Smith links GMO to toxins, allergies, infertility, infant mortality, immune dysfunction, stunted growth, and death. Whistle blowers were fired, threatened, and gagged, and warnings by FDA scientists were ignored. Start today to protect yourself by joining the Campaign for Healthier Eating in America— a plan that gives the consumer the power to end the genetic engineering of our food supply.

The Story Of Human Rights

A striking short film defining one of the world’s most misunderstood subjects: human rights.

What Are Human Rights?

What are human rights?

Let’s start with some basic definitions:

Human: noun
A member of the Homo sapiens species; a man, woman or child; a person.

Rights: noun
Things to which you are entitled or allowed; freedoms that are guaranteed.

Human Rights: noun
The rights you have simply because you are human.

If you were to ask people in the street, “What are human rights?” you would get many different answers. They would tell you the rights they know about, but very few people know all their rights.

As covered in the definitions above, a right is a freedom of some kind. It is something to which you are entitled by virtue of being human.

Human rights are based on the principle of respect for the individual. Their fundamental assumption is that each person is a moral and rational being who deserves to be treated with dignity. They are called human rights because they are universal. Whereas nations or specialized groups enjoy specific rights that apply only to them, human rights are the rights to which everyone is entitled—no matter who they are or where they live—simply because they are alive.

Yet many people, when asked to name their rights, will list only freedom of speech and belief and perhaps one or two others. There is no question these are important rights, but the full scope of human rights is very broad. They mean choice and opportunity. They mean the freedom to obtain a job, adopt a career, select a partner of one’s choice and raise children. They include the right to travel widely and the right to work gainfully without harassment, abuse and threat of arbitrary dismissal. They even embrace the right to leisure.

A long time ago, human rights did not exist at all. Then the idea emerged that people should have certain freedoms. And that idea, in the wake of World War II, resulted finally in the document called the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the 30 rights to which all people are entitled.
