Sex, Drugs and the Cold War

Using a number of old documentaries this 2006 film looks at how sixties youth counter-culture clashed with older people's values of 'moral decency'......
Many of the clips are quite humorous in their sixties Cold War outlook, especially Sam Hardon ("History Professor, This University") whose paranoid views that "sixties radicals are controlled by communists".......
The documentary then looks at "sixties radicals" talking about setting up coffee houses and their love of marijuana.
The show finishes with the uncertain end of Sam Hardon as he is encircled by an angry mob of communist student radicals!!!!........
If we expose the population to the obvious propaganda of yesteryear we can be more aware of today's propaganda, which we desperately need to do!

Remember that you are being played ... your emotions are being played ... your reaction has been planned ...

We are witnessing a series of choreographed psychological-military operations... elements designed to stampede people into casting aside hard won civil liberties, while moving to a global governmental/military economic order based on the values of power & money -not social development, equity & justice.

Maybe if somebody with enough clout asked the right questions, at the right time, on the right channel, people might pull their collective head out of their butt long enough to catch some air.
