The Idea of Freedom is definitely not new
I always equated Charlie Chaplin with comedy, but when I look back, the most memorable scene I remember, is a bitter-sweet scene from City Lights. In fact, beside some shorter clips on TV I did not actually see much of his work.
But after seeing his speech in The Great Dictator I have to change that. I was surprised that this movie is actually not available on Netflix.

Rick Mercer Explans Canada
Rick Mercer from the Rick Mercer Report at the Canadian Broadcast Corporation CBC explains all you wanted to know about Canada, but were afraid to ask.
I would love to embed the video here but the CBC does not allow this so you only get a picture of the video you will see and when you click you will see a new window or tab and watch the video there. Then you either get lost on Rick Mercer’s pages (which is OK) or you come back here – this is the freedom of the internet, yes?
I just wished somebody would create a lecture like this about the US – it could not be any more difficult as we don’t even have a queen, and once we have this all laid out, there would never be a confusion again.

The End of America – Naomi Wolf
Here is a film with and about Naomi Wolf, author of “The End of America: Letter of Warning To A Young Patriot,” I think every American should watch.
She starts out her story that, in a conversation, a friend repeatedly says “They did this in German” – “They did this in Germany” referring to the current events in the US.
In the film that intersperses her talk with footage, driving home the points she makes, she then demonstrated how the ten points common to all totalitarien regimes, can today be observed in the good old US of A.
It’s a long film, so get a beer, get some chips, lean back and enjoy – Oh well, don’t know if you can really ‘enjoy’ it, but it’s not all doom and gloom, because once you know and understand what’s going on, then and only then can you start to do something about it.
The End of America – Naomi Wolf
I noticed that this link does not go to the film any more, so here’s a YouTube video where she conveys her story in a different setting…
and here she is in an interview…
