Book: What Orwell Didn't Know: Propaganda & the New Face of American Politics
$15.00
BK-WODK
Edited by Andras Szanto Introduction by Orville Schell 2007 236 pages
Asking "What Orwell Didn't Know" is a timely exercise. the United States is the most powerful democracy in the world; yet its lavishly funded industries of political messaging and image making are unrivaled in their scale and technical wizardry... Our aim [with this anthology] was to assemble a group of journalists and experts from various fields to chart the complex topography of propaganda within the new landscape of American politics [today]... This compilation predates the 2008 elections by exactly one year... The point of this book is to urge politicians on all sides to keep their words tethered to facts. It is an invitation to speak clearly and act honestly. And it is a reminder to the press, and to students of journalism, that keeping politics clean is a tough job. It is the daily task of reporters and editors to disenthrall public debate from bias, hyperbole, bombast and lies...
To celebrate the 60th anniversary of George Orwell's classic essay on propaganda, "Politics & the English Language," this collection contains essays from writers who explore what Orwell didn't or couldn't know, from the effects of television and computers to the merger of journalism and entertainment.
Manipulation. Bias. Spin. Dishonesty. Half a century after George Orwell's death and six decades after his classic essay, "Politics & the English Language" in which he tied the corrosion of language to the corruption of politics American public life is riddled with the symptoms of obfuscation and doublespeak Orwell so vividly diagnosed. A Big Brother-style dystopia has not come to pass, but tools are available to spinmeisters and image-makers that allow them to detach politics from reality on a daily basis.

Book: The End of America - Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot
$14.00 $12.00 On Sale!
BK-EOA
by Naomi Wolf 2007 168 pages paperback N.Y. Times Bestseller
Jon Elliot, host of Air America Radio show "The Best of America" called this the most important book he read in 2007. In this timely call to arms, Naomi Wolf compels us to face the way our free America is under assault. She warns us that we have little time to lose if our children are to live in real freedom. Wolf shows that there are ten classic steps dictators or would-be dictators always take when they wish to close down an open society. Each of those steps is now underway in the United States today. The book will shock, enrage and motivate spurring us to act, as the Founders would have counted on us to do in a time such as this, as rebels and patriots to save our liberty and defend our nation.

Directed by Adam Curtis 2005 Three 60 minute parts on one disc

Award-winning director Adam Curtis thoroughly researched this study of the modus operandi of these two seemingly opposite movements. Both rely on and have perfected the use of fear and intimidation to control their followers and believers. This film not available for rent through video stores or Netflix.

Book/Poster: Lies My Teacher Told Me About Christopher Columbus
$17.00 $14.00 On Sale!
BK-LTTCC
by James Loewen (author of "Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your High School Histoiry Textbook Got Wrong" and "Lies Across Amnerica:What Our Historic Sites Get Wrong") 9 pages 8.5" x 11" Includes a 22" x 34" full color poster, "The Truth About Columbus" printed on nontear material
"Absolutely indispensable for at least the next hundred years. This book is a real discovery and a real exploration." Ariel Dorfman, the Walter H. Page chair of Literature and Latin American Studies, Duke University
A graphic corrective to the Christopher Columbus story told in so many American classrooms. First published over 15 years ago and long out-of-print, the poster and accompanying paperback sum up the miss-tellings, and reveal the real story, of Columbus's role in the Americas by juxtaposing a range of high school textbooks currently in use today with excerpts from primary sources. It shows clearly how textbooks have "lied" by knowingly substituting crowd-pleasing myths for the grim and gruesome historical evidence.
In fact, these textbooks intentionally omitted every important detail that we do know about Columbus's fateful voyage to the Americas. With deeply engaging prose, Loewen expands on these little-discussed facts, putting them in the larger context of a discussion of "truth" and revisionist history. Concise and accessible, this is a must-have for students, teachers and enthusiasts of history alike. Teachers can use it annually during their unit on Columbus.
James Loewen is a bestselling author and regular contributor to the History Channel magazine. He's professor emeritus of sociology at the University of Vermont.
"A perfect antidote for the nonsense about Columbus conveyed to our children for generations." Howard Zinn, author: "A People's History of the United States"

DVD: On A Paper Crane: Tomoko's Adventure
$15.00
NOW AVAILABLE ON DVD as of May 2008!
Tomoko is a sixth-grader in elementary school. Quite active and adventurous, she visits Hiroshima all by herself. While at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, she meets a mysterious girl (Sadako), who takes her on a strange, eye-opening journey. This animated film is beautifully-crafted, powerfully presented and age-appropriate for children in elementary school. The voices and soundtrack are in English by American actors. The music is poignant and uplifting. In a unique nationwide campaign to help raise awareness about the issue of global nuclear weapons proliferation among a new generation of young people, the film was paid for by the donations of thousands of Japanese citizens. The story does not seek to cast blame on the U.S., or take sides. In fact, it never even mentions who dropped the bomb; that is not the films point. It simply tells the story, based on the true story of a 2 year old girl named Sadako, who survived the bomb. It shows the viewer why the world needs to put a halt to nuclear proliferation, without being dogmatic, preachy, manipulative or condescending to its young audience. It is no less relevant today than when it was first released. Poignant and eloquent. 30 minutes. (1994) Viewer's Guide included. Grades 5-8. Recommended by national educators and parents organizations in Japan. a Donnelly/Colt exclusive - not available elsewhere in the U.S.

Bumpersticker Display Sleeves
$1.00
BDS-15
[no image...because, they're not very photogenic, being almost transparent]
$1.00 buys ten of these 4" x 15" clear plastic 4 mil thick Bumpersticker Display Sleeves (same thickness as bumperstickers).
Open on one 4" end. These are the best solution we've found to organizing bumperstickers for display at tabling events. At ten for $1.00 (minimum) they're an affordable and practical solution for retail sales display. Large enough to accommodate the largest size bumperstickers (3.75" x 15". They can be easily cut with scissors to a shorter length for the 3" x 11.5" and 3.75" x 7.5" sizes. We have to buy these 1,000 at a time. The distributors don't offer them in smaller quantities, but we do. We've never seen them sold in retail stores, either. You can put up to 25 of each sticker design into a sleeve, and put the sleeves into a box for easy browsing at events.
Here's a display idea: You can put Velcro fastening stickers on the back of the sleeves, and mount them on a larger rug-like surface to use as a self-service display system at retail booths. We use standard utility clamps to hold thedisplay up on a curtain or vendor tent frame. Auto supply stores carry a 3' x 6' rolled-up rug-like material (made to use inside cars and vans) which the Velcro "hook" side attaches very well to. Hardware stores carry adhesive-backed rolls of Velcro 3.4" wide x 15 foot length, which you can cut into 180 - 1" lengths; enough to put two on the back of ninety sleeves.
Better than using rubber bands, clasps or clips to group stickers together. The bands break, outdoors the stickers are exposed to spills and rain, and everywhere they get bent, dog-eared and damaged.
Far cheaper and easier than bringing a heavy, cumbersome display floor-stand or table-top spinner rack. With these sleeves, you just put the stickers into a low side walled, open-top cardboard box. You don't need dividers between each sleeve. If you're the organized type, you can attach tabs on top of each sleeve with the name, code or number for the sticker in the sleeve. It could make re-stocking them easier. Made in U.S.A.

Nominated for an Academy Award and widely considered one of the most important political films ever made, THE WAR AT HOME vividly chronicles the anti-war protest movement of the 1960's and '70's. The film provides an illuminating look at the home front of the Vietnam War the war that students and other anti-war dissidents waged on America's political system, military and notions of patriotism.

As the boomer generation moves onward through the milestones of life, 1960's nostalgia holds tremendous meaning today. And nothing more eloquently symbolizes the counterculture era than the peace sign. How did this simple sketch become so powerful an image? "Peace: The Biography of a Symbol" tells the surprisiing story of the sign in words and pictures, from its origins in the nuclear disarmament movement in England in 1958, throughout the 1960s, through its stint as a mass-marketed commodity and its enduring relevance now.

BK-WIAR
by General Smedley Butler 80 pages
This is the anti-war classic of all time. Written over seventy years ago by General Smedley Butler, who is still the most highly-decorated U.S. Marine in American history, This frank book shows how U.S. war effiorts are animated and druven by big business iunterests, then as today. This extarordinary argument against war is more relevant today than ever. It remains the basic primer for all to read, about why war in general, and specific wars must be opposed. Coming as it does from the perspective of a brave and highly honored warrior, he is a source whom pro-military, pro-war readers will at least read, and may even find themselves agreeing with. A powerful, timeless document.

DVD: The Panama Deception
$27.00 $20.00 On Sale!
DVD-PD
Directed by Barbara Trent & David Kaspar 1993 Academy Award winner Best Documentary 97 minutes released on DVD Sept. 2007
"No matter what your political leanings may be, this film should be considered mandatory viewing." Seattle Times
Made all the more timely by recent U.S. invasions and the current "war on terror," this riveting classic expose has been called "tough, provocative, highly opinionated...an answer to the official U.S. government line about the 1989 invasion of Panama." (N.Y. Times) This Director's Cut features 80 minutes of bonus features. Young people in their twenties and younger, whio don't remember this, need to learn about it, to understand the recent, bloody history of recent U.S. intervention.
Acclaimed filmmakers Trent and Kaspar uncover the real reasons for the internationally condemned attack, revealing Noriega's longstanding relationship with the CIA, ther DEA and George Bush, Sr., nd unsparingly point the blame at all involved. Utilizing devastating video footage, expert commentary and eyewitness testimony, the film explores a cover-up hauntingly relevant today, while network news clips and media critics contribute to a staggering analysis of media control and self-censorship used to deceive the American public.

DVD: The End of Suburbia: Oil Depletion & the Collapse of the American Dream
$15.00
DVD-EOS
Directed by Gregory Greene Hosted by Barrie Zwicker 78 minutes
Since World War II North Americans have invested much of their newfound wealth in suburbia. It has promised a sense of space, affordability, family life and upward mobility. A the population of suburban sprawl has exploded in the past 50 words, so too the suburban way of life has become embedded in the American consciousness.
Suburbia, and all it promises, has become the American Dream. But as we enter the 21st century, serious questions are beginning to emerge about the sustainability of this way of life. With brutal honesty and a touch of irony, The End of Suburbia explores the American Way of Life and its prospects as the planet approaches a critical era, as global demand for fossil fuels begins to outstrip supply. World Oil Peak and the inevitable decline of fossil fuels are upon us now, some scientists and policy makers argue in this documentary. The consequences of inaction in the face of this global crisis are enormous. What does Oil Peak mean for North America? As energy prices skyrocket in the coming years, how will the populations of suburbia react to the collapse of their dream? Are today's suburbs destined to become the slums of tomorrow? And what can be done now, individually and collectively, to avoid The End of Suburbia? The DVD includes:
The vintage short films "In The Suburbs" and "Destination Earth"
A 12 page Resource Guide booklet with Tips for Public Screenings; "Relocalize Now!"; What To Do Next; Interviews with The End of Suburbia experts; Recommended reading; How to get involved.

DVD: The Wave (TV drama version)
$25.00
DVD-TWTV
44 minutes 1981 This is the made-for-TV version adapted from the true incident in history teacher Ron Jones' Palo Alto, California high school classroom in 1967. (the DVD case mistakenly says 1969). It is the dramatization that millions of people have seen. This dramatization was directed by Alexander Grasshoff, and produced for television by Norman Lear. It aired nationally in 1981. The powerful forces of group pressure that lead to a totalitarian mindset grew out-of-control in the classroom experiment known as "The Wave." After all the years since it was made, this is still a valuable lesson for students to see and learn. A novel was adapted from the TV script.
Also see "The Wave - Ron Jones Stories" to hear the story told for the first time, first hand, before a live audience in 1996, by the teacher who created it in his classroom, 29 years after it happened. (1 hour) Both films, together make a profound presentation, over two or more days (total time: 1:44)

DVD: Ron Jones Stories - The Wave
$30.00
DVD-WAVE
Written & Performed by Ron Jones 1996 60 minutes Dirksen/Malloy Productions
For the first time, breaking a long silence, world history teacher Ron Jones tells "what really happened" in his classroom "experiment" The Wave.
His video monologue recounting "The Wave" provides answers for all concerned students, teachers, Holocaust survivors (and relatives), religious groups and organizations on how something like the Holocaust could occur again...here...anywhere...now ...or in the near future.
In April 1967 at Cubberly High School, Palo Alto, CA, world history teacher Ron Jones is asked about the Holocaust by a student, and "Could it happen here?" Jones came up with an unusual answer. Ron decided to have a two week experiment in dictatorship. His idea was to explain fascism to his class through a game, nothing more. He never intended what resulted, where his class would be turned into a fascist environment. Where students willingly ghave up their fredom for the prospect of feeling superior to their neighbors...
The book, "The Wave" has been printed in nine languages and sold over 1,500,000 copies, and is being performed as a play in sixteen countries. Many have seen the 1972 television dramatization based on this true story. But few have seen it told from the teacher who created it. This is a must-see and an excellent supplement to the made-for-TV version (available also from us, see below)

REEL BAD ARABS take a devastating tour of the American cinematic landscape, moving from the earliest days of silent film to today's biggest Hollywood blockbusters to reveal an astonishing and persistent pattern of slanderous Arab stereotyping. Featuring acclaimed author and Hollywood film consultant Dr. Jack Shaheen, the documentary exposes America's long love affair with Arab villainy and buffoonery, from over-sexed Bedouin bandits and submissive maidens to sinister sheikhs and blood-thirsty terrorists. Along the way, the film provides striking insights into the origin of these images, their disturbing similarities to anti-Semitic and racist stereotypes from the past, and their political resonance during key moments of conflict in U.S. history...
