I am so inspired by what Geoff Lawton shares in this video. He talks about how, using permaculture techniques, they were able restore a salty desert landscape into a lush healthy green area.

Last summer I filmed my friend Brigitte Mars at her home in Boulder talking about her wild lawn. Brigitte is an herbalist and author of 12 books on natural medicine. Instead of growing grass she grows a beautifully diverse lawn of food and medicine. I hope more people begin to take her example.

Note: The audio is out of sync towards the end. This is a problem I’ve been having with my videos uploaded to Vimeo. I’m still looking for a solution.

Congolese liberation leader and first Prime Minister Patrice Émery Lumumba was assassinated in January 1961, less than seven months after coming to power. He aspired to make Congo an independent nation but was rejected by the US for help before turning to the USSR, igniting his assassination.

What I find most disturbing about this is doc is the cold sociopathic attitude of his killers, even after all this time for reflection.

How many sociopathic agents are active today?

With all that is going on in Gaza these days I’ve decided to repost this talk I filmed by Ramzy Baroud on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza as of April 2008.

In September of 2007 I filmed this lecture of David Barsamian, founder of Alternative Radio, speaking about his new book “Targeting Iran”.

I filmed this talk by Angela Davis in February of 2008 at Regis in Denver. Distinguishing between race/gender diversity and a broader concept of human rights she nurtures a more vibrant and sustainable future.

I believe that Naomi Klein’s book The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism is one of the most important nonfiction books written since the end of WWII. Here’s a lecture I filmed of Naomi in Dec. ‘07 talking about The Shock Doctrine.

Naomi Klein also wrote another ground breaking book entitled NO LOGO, which looks at the shift towards branding and away from manufacturing by the most recognizable corporations. The Media Education Foundation made a great documentary based on this book.

Jeff Halper was is an American born Jew and peace activist who immigrated to Israel in 1973. He later co-founded the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions, which opposes the Israeli demolition of Palestinian homes in the occupied territories. I filmed his talk at the Tattered Cover Bookstore on October 14, 2008.

Here is a video I filmed of Ramzy Baroud, the editor of The Palestine Chronicle. Ramzy passionately speaks about the humanitarian crisis affecting 1.4 million Palestinians caused by Israel’s blockade of the Gaza strip keeping food, medical supplies, fuel and other necessities from entering. I filmed this in Boulder, Colorado on April 28, 2008. As of the writing of this post Israel was still blockading Gaza with increasing strickness turning away a convoy carrying medicine and causing the UN to close aid centers.
