There's an organization responsible for more terrorism plots in the United States than al-Qaeda, al-Shabaab and ISIS combined: The FBI. How? Why? In an eye-opening talk, investigative journalist Trevor Aaronson reveals a disturbing FBI practice that breeds terrorist plots by exploiting Muslim-Americans with mental health problems.

VIDEO: Government, Industry Ignore Scientific Case For Improving Crude By Rail Safety, Let Bomb Trains Roll On
Oil train in Seattle by Brendan DeMelle
Since the tragic Bakken oil train accident that extinguished 47 lives in Lac-Megantic, Quebec in July 2013, seven more Bakken oil trains have derailed, resulting in accidents involving large fires and explosions. We now know that oil produced in North Dakota's Bakken Shale formation is extremely volatile due to its high natural gas liquid content — resulting in the “bomb train” phenomenon.

DeSmog’s new investigative video, written and produced by Justin Mikulka, details a coordinated effort by the oil industry, members of the U.S. Congress, regulators and the Department of Energy to challenge the known science of crude oil characteristics with the goal of delaying or avoiding any regulatory changes requiring Bakken crude oil stabilization, a safety measure that would protect the millions of people currently living in bomb t

EUR Exclusive: Original Black Panthers Open Up About Split in Party
'I Blame Huey'

Sep 26, 2015



http://www.eurweb.com/2015/09/exclusive ... -in-party/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;


*Now playing in select theaters across the country is Stanley Nelson’s “The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution,” and as we previously reported, the doc is a riveting piece of history that explores in vivid detail the formation and impact of the original Black Panther Party. A must see for history enthusiasts.

In a two-part interview with one of the producers of the doc, 3-time Emmy award-winner Laurens Grant, along with original Panther members Mohammed Mubarak and Sherwin Forte, we delve deeper into the Party’s efforts and the events causing the subsequent split in the movement. Mubarak and Forte also open up on how they really feel about the so-called New Black Panthers.

The “Panthers” doc highlights the vital role that women played in the movement, and Mohammed confessed that many Panthers felt “Black women didn’t need to be liberated” because “they were already liberated,” through women’s lib and the efforts of Gloria Steinem and the Party’s own prevalent women such as Kathleen Cleaver.

Black Panthers

Laurens: We had so many rough cuts when we were making the film, and a lot of the women got cut out just for time. I watched the film and came in the edit room and asked ‘Um excuse me, where are the women? Where did that go?’ That needs to be a little bit more involved and included.’ Although there were many women leaders, I think with the Black Panther party it was a different set-up. People got in it, the means were different but the end game was the same, They wanted to participate in a whole different way, as Elaine (Brown) articulates in the film. Sex roles were reverse. Everybody had to participate.

Sherwin: There are many unsung women in the movement. Women have always been a part of the movement, and sometimes they have moved ahead of men in this quest for justice and respect. I think that our task is to make sure that they are really pushed to the forefront more than they have been. The perceived attempt to put them in the background is ill-founded. Black women have always stood by Black men in this struggle.
Huey P. Newton

Huey P. Newton

The “Panthers” doc explores the breakdown in the relationship between Huey P. Newton and Eldridge Cleaver. Sherwin explained how the split in the Party was something Huey caused after his release from prison and he Eldridge began to have a differing of ideas. Huey compounded the problem when he called Eldridge “a punk” during a live television interview.

Sherwin: You didn’t get Eldridge condemning Huey, you got Huey condemning Eldridge. The moment Huey got out of jail, he wanted to send a detachment of men to North Korea to help them fight this country. Huey wanted to be a Che Guevara.

Mohammed: When Geronimo Pratt got arrested in Dallas, with that group of Panthers, the FBI arrested him and all of those guys. Huey expelled everybody in the group. He considered them counter-revolutionaries. He didn’t want to have anything to do with them. Eldridge stood up and said, ‘You can’t do these people like that! These are some real soldiers. Why are you doing this?’ As a result of that fallout, a lot of people got hurt. Some people got killed.
Eldridge Cleaver

Eldridge Cleaver

Sherwin: They purged a lot of the original members. I think it was a betrayal and I blame Huey for that. That’s what the split came from. I don’t know what happened to him in prison. People talk about this kind of CIA program. I can’t address that because I don’t know what happened to him while he was locked up, but I think that when he first got out, he was still sort of in his revolutionary mode, wanting to send people to North Vietnam. Somehow, while he was out, his mind began to change and he began a purge of all the original members that he had talked to about this revolution.

Check back for part two where Mohammed and Sherwin discuss Huey’s descent into “gangsterism,” and their view on the New Black Panthers.

Laura Poitras takes documentaries into the future with Field of Vision

With an ambitious new visual-journalism unit at The Intercept, the Citizenfour director is planning to take non-fiction film-making into the unknown

Laura Poitras doesn’t like to rest on her laurels. Less than a year after winning a Pulitzer prize for reporting on Edward Snowden’s NSA revelations and netting an Oscar for the ensuing documentary Citizenfour, she’s back in the spotlight with Asylum: a new short-form episodic series. In it she shadows Julian Assange as he publishes classified diplomatic cables and seeks asylum in Ecuador’s London embassy.

Three episodes of her series, which serve as a prequel of sorts to Citizenfour, premiered on Sunday at the New York film festival. The shorts – scored by Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails – were completed under the banner of Poitras’s new visual journalism unit, Field of Vision, which she recently launched with fellow film-maker AJ Schnack and producer/writer Charlotte Cook, in collaboration with The Intercept, the adversarial journalism website she co-founded in 2014 with Jeremy Scahill and Glenn Greenwald. Both are funded by billionaire Pierre Omidyar’s First Look Media.

Field of Vision aims to commission 40 to 50 original episodic and individual short-form nonfiction films each year. At Sunday’s premiere, Field of Vision not only screened the Asylum episodes, but also unveiled five additional commissioned shorts, some of which are now available to stream online. Standouts were Kirsten Johnson’s The Above, which ominously contrasts surveillance blimps in Afghanistan and the US, and Heloisa Passos’s moving Birdie, about a homeless fruit vendor and his two dogs trying to get by on the bustling streets of Rio (Poitras says Birdie will get follow-up installments).

Dressed all in black and seated in the sleek offices of The Intercept in Manhattan the morning after the premiere, Poitras speaks excitedly of how Field of Vision came about: “I wanted to be able to hire a team of people who would be commissioning videos – visual journalism – to see the range of people’s skills and talents within the non-fiction community.”

It was while working on the final edit of Citizenfour that she enlisted Schnack and Cook to help her with the venture. Together, the three assigned stories from around the globe that they felt merited a platform, to directors of their choosing. The results make up what they dub “the first season”. A second batch of shorts is set to debut in early 2016.

Poitras stresses that Field of Vision is first and foremost “film-maker driven”. She and her co-creators stay true to that mission by entrusting their commissioned film-makers with telling the story the best way they see fit. Directors retain copyright; and should they choose to extend the short into a feature, they can do so without interference. Contributors are paid out of the budgets Poitras and co allocate for each individual project. And while the shorts that have premiered so far are all commissioned works, they’re open to receiving pitches from film-makers unfamiliar to them.

The existence of Field of Vision was only made public earlier this month, shortly before the NYFF event was announced. Schnack says they kept the news under lock and key to avoid building hype – and potentially failing to deliver on it: “We wanted to be more just like, ‘OK here we go, and in just a few weeks you’ll start to see the work.’”

He needn’t have worried. Field of Vision is a bracing initiative that takes the documentary form into new and exciting directions. The five shorts that screened on Sunday were all unequivocally strong, as were the first few episodes of Asylum. Field of Vision’s impact has yet to be assessed, but it’s hard

CBS network refuses to advertise Cate Blanchett and Robert Redford's Truth

http://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/oc ... -advertise" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;



The broadcaster says that the film, dramatising a 2004 newsroom scandal, does a disservice to the public and to journalists
Press notes on a scandal ... Cate Blanchett and Robert Redford in Truth
Vigorous debate ... Cate Blanchett and Robert Redford in Truth.


Monday 19 October 2015 08.49 EDT



US television network CBS has declined to show adverts for the film Truth, a Cate Blanchett and Robert Redford-led political drama that details an embarrassing episode in the company’s history.

James Vanderbilt’s film centres on a 2004 report on CBS News’s 60 Minutes alleging that president George W Bush received preferential treatment during his stint in the Texas Air National Guard in the late 1960s and early 70s. At the time of the news broadcast, Bush was fighting a white-knuckle election campaign against Democratic challenger John Kerry, whose own military record was also put under the media microscope.

Dan Rather, played in the film by Redford, was forced out of his longstanding position as the anchor of 60 Minutes after rightwing bloggers suggested that memos alleging that Bush shirked his military service had been faked. CBS later apologised for the report, and producer Mary Mapes (played by Blanchett) was fired, along with three other executives.

Truth opened in US cinemas on 16 October. The studio Sony had hoped to buy advertising on 60 Minutes, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the CBS Evening News and CBS This Morning. But Sherri Callan, president of media buyer Callan Advertising, told the Associated Press that a multi-million-dollar offer was turned down due to what CBS has called inaccuracies and distortions in the film.

Reviewing the film after its debut at the Toronto film festival, the Guardian’s Catherine Shoard described it as a “one-note rally for the converted that gets your pulse racing even if you’re rolling your eyes”.

In one scene, a producer is seen ranting about network owner Viacom, the implication being that Viacom executives quashed the story due to their links with the Bush administration.

CBS spokesman Gil Schwartz (played by Steve Bastoni in the film) issued a statement earlier this month attacking Truth’s alleged inaccuracies. “It’s astounding how little truth there is in Truth,” he said. “There are, in fact, too many distortions, evasions and baseless conspiracy theories to enumerate them all. The film tries to turn gross errors of journalism and judgment into acts of heroism and martyrdom. That’s a disservice not just to the public but to journalists across the world who go out every day and do everything within their power, sometimes at great risk to themselves, to get the story right.”

Truth’s film-makers have responded: “Although we understand CBS wants to put this episode behind them, it’s disappointing that they seem to be so concerned about our film. The events depicted in Truth are still vigorously debated, and that’s a good thing. It’s a fascinating story at the intersection of politics, media and corporate America and features powerhouse performances from Cate Blanchett, Robert Redford and the rest of the cast. We hope people will see the film and judge for themselves.”

While Sony have not been able to advertise the film on 60 Minutes or other CBS broadcasts, publicity surrounding the network’s decision does appear conveniently well-timed for the studio, which is pushing Truth as an Oscars contender. Variety suggests that the network tol

Guilt-Ridden FBI Informant Admits to Overzealous Prosecution of Muslims in Eye-Opening Expose’

It’s no surprise that government surveillance of Muslims has intensified since 9/11. That scrutiny has paid off, as it seems like once a month or so, we hear about how another terrorist plot has been thwarted by authorities just before it was about to be hatched.

FBI, Informant, (T)error, Muslims, manufacturing homegrown jihadis, eye-opening expose', Film ReviewHowever, upon closer scrutiny, it actually turns out that the FBI might just be setting traps for dummies who really have neither the desire nor the wherewithal to mount an attack. According to this incendiary investigation, the Bureau has basically been manufacturing homegrown jihadis by supplying the bombs and looking for gullible marks willing to say they’d light the fuse. And once they answer “yes” to an agent posing as a radical Islamist, off they go to a federal penitentiary for a very long stretch.

Granted, no one wants to see any ISIS-inspired mayhem occur on American soil. But by the same token, there is a legitimate question to be asked as to what lengths an undercover operative ought to go to determine whether a Muslim might be inclined to commit mass murder in the name of Allah.

That is the subject of (T)error, an eye-opening expose’ co-directed by Lyric Cabral and David Sutcliffe. The documentary zeroes-in on the exploits of Saeed “Shariff” Torres, a Black Panther-turned-police snitch who received a six-figure salary to infiltrate mosques and snitch on fellow Muslims.

Shariff has a great track record, having helped convict eight religious extremists. His most notorious case was against Tarik Shah, a famous jazz bassist who played with everybody from Betty Carter to Pharoah to Ahmad Jamal. Well, Shariff befriended the cash-strapped musician, first taking bass lessons from him, and then offering him a big payday for participating in a conspiracy.FBI, Informant, (T)error, Muslims, manufacturing homegrown jihadis, eye-opening expose', Film Review

I know what you’re thinking, why feel sorry for anyone who’d even think of siding with the enemy? Still, there is something unsettling about overbearing Shariff’s way of pressuring his targets after gaining their confidence. Plus, he never had to testify in court against them, except in the case against the last fanatic he fingered. That would be Khalifah Al-Akili, a devout, mild-mannered Muslim with a wife and young child.

The FBI relocated Shariff from New York to Pittsburgh so he could ingratiate himself with the Muslim community, in general, and with Khalifah, specifically. For the next couple of years, Shariff tried to induce him to join a terrorist cell.

But that proved to be an exercise in futility since the man clearly had no radical tendencies. In fact, Khalifah suspected Shariff of trying to entrap him and even begged to just be left alone. Nevertheless, the FBI was hellbent on nailing him for something, and he was ultimately convicted on a lame weapons charge after he fired an unregistered rifle on a gun range.

Now 63, in failing health, and consumed with overwhelming regret, Shariff belatedly feels used. Of ruining Khalifah’s life, he says, “He’s not a terrorist. He’s not even a pseudo-terrorist.” Forget a bomb, “He wouldn’t throw rice at a wedding.” Shariff fur
