ORWELL ROLLS IN HIS GRAVE
This documentary, written, directed, and edited by Robert Kane Pappas is HOT. I just got my copy a few day ago from BuzzFlash.com and if you haven't heard of it, check out www.orwellrollsinhisgrave.com.

If you've read "1984," and can sense the Orwellianness that has overcome society then you ought to get it.

It's also really good for any "non-readers" you may know just who knod their heads and say "uh-huh." I've already jogged a few brains with it.

Good stuff.

1. i didn't learn anything new
but it depressed the hell out of me to see all that info gathered and presented in one spot.

how was your copy from buzzflash? ours had a lot of audio glitches, but it didn't detract from the message.... i felt downright doomed after watching.

2. I didn't learn anything new either....
I'm sorry to hear it depressed you because it inspired me. I'm a telecom tech...I work with oscillations, and like just about everything you can think of, societies oscillate. I feel that we have just hit a negative peak and are getting ready to shoot upwards...of course it's all in seeming slow-motion compared to a 60 Hz cycle, but it amounts to the same thing...hang in there.

My copy from Buzzflash worked fine...I didn't notice any audio glitches.

This video won't turn a die-hard wingnut, but it will sway the ones on the fence...the ones who understand that this planet is 93 million miles away from the sun and 4-5 billion years old.

LEARN...SHARE...CRUSH THE ILLUSION!!!!!!!

3. Is the show creator a former news person?
Does the entire documentary consist of leading questions? How about begging-the-question questions? Does this show the vocal tone of the thing? Is that why no one else is running it? Could it possibly be the writing tone adopted by the person writing the PR? Could that have driven people who care to watch other documentaries?

5. Answers to your questions...
The show creator is not a former news person, but many newspeople are interviewed as well a US Congressman.

No, the documentary does not consist of leading questions nor does it beg the question.

The documentary outlines media consolidation over the last several decades and compares this phenomenon to the plot summary of George Orwell's "1984."

To find out more, here is a link to an exclusive Buzzflash interview with the writer/director/editor of the film, Robert Kane Pappas:

Enjoy!
