The shock doctrine (2009)

AVI 779.27MB
90 mininutes

Naomi Klein gives a lecture tracing the confluence of ideas about modifying behavior using shock therapy and other sensory deprivation and modifying national economics using the "shock treatment" of Milton Friedman and the Chicago School. She moves chronologically: Pinochet's Chile, Argentina and its junta, Yeltsin's Russia, Bush and Bremer's Iraq. A trumped-up villain provides distraction or rationalization: Marxism, the Falklands, nuclear weapons, terrorists; and, always, there is a great shift of money and power from the many to the few. News footage, a narrator, and talking heads back up Klein's analysis. She concludes on a note of hope.

Dispatches - America's Secret Killers (2011)

AVI 549 MB
48 minutes

The strike that killed Osama bin Laden provided a glimpse of the vast and often secret campaign by US special forces and troops to kill thousands of Taliban and Al Qaeda fighters. They call it 'precision targeting'; their critics say it's assassination. A six-month investigation by Dispatches has gone inside the US 'kill/capture' programme to discover new evidence of the strategy's impact, and its costs. The team have talked to key figures in the US military, to US spies and to Taliban commanders and fighters. Gen David Petraeus, since he took command of troops last year, has ordered a major expansion of these 'manhunt' missions that rely on highly classified intelligence, cutting-edge technology and Special Operations forces. Correspondent Stephen Grey and producer Dan Edge explore the logic behind the kill/capture policy, and ask if this unremitting pursuit of the enemy will help end the war in Afghanistan.

Throughout the late 60s, 70s and 80s a wave of brutal terror attacks swept through Western Europe killing hundreds of innocent civilians in cities across the continent. At the time the attacks were thought to be the work of radical extremists but now, thirty years on, a different, far more disturbing story is starting to come out.

In 1990 Italian Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti revealed the existence of a secret NATO army code named Gladio whose mission was to defend Italy in the event of a Soviet occupation. He confessed that it was part of a much wider network of underground "stay-behind" armies that had been established by NATO throughout Europe during the Cold War. It transpired that Britain and the US had secretly recruited and trained civilians and military men in twenty European countries, setting up armed military networks unaccountable to any national parliament.

For many years it was believed that the role of the NATO secret armies was purely defensive but from the testimony of right wing extremists implicated in some of Europe's most horrific bombing campaigns and the prosecutor hired to investigate them, a different and far more disquieting picture has begun to emerge. They claim that the Gladio network manipulated and controlled a string of extremist groups in a bid to unleash a wave of terror across the continent. The attacks formed part of a project which came to be known as the "strategy of tension". The aim was to prevent a political slide to the left and ensure a return to centrist government in the European countries crucial to the US defence strategy.

Nato's Secret Armies examines three major terror attacks: The Brabant massacre in Belgium, the Oktoberfest bombing in Germany and the Piazza Fontana killings in Italy. Through the testimony of former terrorists, Gladio, ex CIA agents, diplomats, prosecutors and police investigators; the film pieces together the disturbing trail of influence behind each of the attacks and considers whether hundreds may have died at the hands of state sponsored terrorism. More chillingly, it asks whether the strategy of tension might still be in use today.
