The Power Principle - Part 1 of 3

Part 1: Empire; The Power Principle: Corporate Empire and the Rise of the National Security State, is a documentary in three parts about the society we really live in. This is the first part. Please visit the makers of this film at http://metanoia-films.org/ The Power Principle 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 it's 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. Externally (and increasingly internally) this has caused massive poverty and suffering, genocide, war, coups, crushed unions and popular movements and environmental destruction. Guests include Noam Chomsky, Michael Parenti and Sut Jhally.
