About Me:
 
I'm a citizen journalist and film editor. The main purpose of my videos is to inform people about anti-authoritarian ideas and to dispel the myths created by elite societal structures.

I just finished a documentary called "Golden Rule: The Investment Theory of Politics" (based on a book by Thomas Ferguson). The documentary offers an in depth look at business influence in politics--analyzing social forces and events that the corporate media and mainstream scholarship has largely distorted or kept hidden. Check it out by following the 1st link on the main video featured at the top of this page. It's also in my playlists cut in 8 parts.
Check out also the documentary-montage I did in 2008 by following the 2nd link of the same video or in my playlists (there's versions with German, Greek and Dutch subtitles) It's called "The Evilness of Power."
It examines the effects of hierarchy on individuals, society, and the world at large.

I'm also cohosting a radio show every Tuesday called The Authority Smashing Hour. Follow the 3rd link on this page's featured video to check it out.

If you want to support my work, you can donate to my paypal (see link on top of this box) or you can send me a message on youtube to donate used hard drives, mini-dv tapes, sd cards, blank CDs or DVDs, paper or other used office and computer equipment.

Doesn't ANY disparity in property ownership create differences in the level of authority? If one person in a town owns a car and no one else does, does that not give that one person authority over everyone else in the town if they want to use his car? Do the other people in the town have the right to take the car from him in the name of fairness? You decry Bill Gates for owning so much, but do you not also own alot in comparison to others? What would you say to someone who wanted to take over your property because they felt it unfair that you owned so much? If you want to abolish Private Property, who will enforce these restrictions on Private Property usage without a state?

I do think Muslims have been unfairly portrayed in the press and by the government to allow for policies that would be hard to legitimise unless there was an 'enemy'. I think that using Islam to bring in restrictions to freedom of speech is part of this - first Islamic 'fascism / terrorism is used as an excuse to invade the Mid East to collect oil, now Islam is used again to curtail freedom of speech in the West but now supposedly Western governments are on Muslims side.

Ok, just read your response (I hadn't before my last post). Your response was a good one., I probably mostly agree with you. Although I feel you are being unfair to pat. I don't think he supports Western domination of the Mid East or anywhere else. I think he is just against the imposing of religious customs that would curtail hard won western freedoms e.g. freedom of speech. These freedoms had to be wrestled not just from the economic and political establishment but also the religious establishment.

In a sense Pat is still critiquing western society, in that it lacks the backbone to stand up for it's own ideals. Besides you can't call him a hypocrite unless it was Pat's assertion that you should only criticise your own society.

I don't think you have exposed Pat Condell's hypocrisy, but I do believe perhaps you've exposed your own.

I appreciate your uploads of chomsky and anarchism, so please keep up the good work with regards to this. However, I think you should rethink your ideas with regard to this issue unless you are happy to apply this theory to all peoples.

p.s. KeepBombingGaza is insane

Thanks very much for your excellent Golden Rule documentary! And good on you for using youtube as a platform for your work, despite the fact that all too often it appears that most of the people who comment on this site are a few--or many--bricks shy of a load.

KeepBombingGaza - Your comment is proof that ALL RELIGION causes people to act in insane and sometimes even a terroristic fashion.

You make me sick, fascist.

Hey Jonathan,
Could you please name the documentary/film that you included in your documentary "Evilness of Power" dealing with the historical role of hierarchy (it starts at minute 11:30).
Thank you for all the hard work.

Rep,Teapartiers,Beck are CEOcommunists...They want you pay your bloody rates to the CEOs gains and private health care bureaucracy!

40 milions US uninsured citizens and US bailed out economy really need a National Health Care (Single Payer) founded by progressive tax (not flat tax) on the capital gains.

Single Payer Now!
