BMW - "The Story of 3"
Few cars have had an impact on the market and culture like the BMW 3 Series. What they started in the wake of the 1973 oil crisis carries through today as an epic legacy of engineering and design. Blah blah blah, this doesn't really mean anything until you get a chance to see and hear the story of the 3 Series. It was a bit different than we had expected, and it inspired us to get our x-acto blades and cameras out to tell the story that seemed to tell itself.

The Shock Doctrine - Naomi Klein
In THE SHOCK DOCTRINE, Naomi Klein explodes the myth that the global free market triumphed democratically. Exposing the thinking, the money trail and the puppet strings behind the world-changing crises and wars of the last four decades, The Shock Doctrine is the gripping story of how America’s “free market” policies have come to dominate the world-- through the exploitation of disaster-shocked people and countries.
At the most chaotic juncture in Iraq’s civil war, a new law is unveiled that would allow Shell and BP to claim the country’s vast oil reserves…. Immediately following September 11, the Bush Administration quietly out-sources the running of the “War on Terror” to Halliburton and Blackwater…. After a tsunami wipes out the coasts of Southeast Asia, the pristine beaches are auctioned off to tourist resorts.... New Orleans’s residents, scattered from Hurricane Katrina, discover that their public housing, hospitals and schools will never be reopened…. These events are examples of “the shock doctrine”: using the public’s disorientation following massive collective shocks – wars, terrorist attacks, or natural disasters -- to achieve control by imposing economic shock therapy. Sometimes, when the first two shocks don’t succeed in wiping out resistance, a third shock is employed: the electrode in the prison cell or the Taser gun on the streets.
Based on breakthrough historical research and four years of on-the-ground reporting in disaster zones, The Shock Doctrine vividly shows how disaster capitalism – the rapid-fire corporate reengineering of societies still reeling from shock – did not begin with September 11, 2001. The book traces its origins back fifty years, to the University of Chicago under Milton Friedman, which produced many of the leading neo-conservative and neo-liberal thinkers whose influence is still profound in Washington today. New, surprising connections are drawn between economic policy, “shock and awe” warfare and covert CIA-funded experiments in electroshock and sensory deprivation in the 1950s, research that helped write the torture manuals used today in Guantanamo Bay.
The Shock Doctrine follows the application of these ideas through our contemporary history, showing in riveting detail how well-known events of the recent past have been deliberate, active theatres for the shock doctrine, among them: Pinochet’s coup in Chile in 1973, the Falklands War in 1982, the Tiananmen Square Massacre in 1989, the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Asian Financial crisis in 1997 and Hurricane Mitch in 1998.

Yes, I'm saying that it's all lies
http://gagnauga.is/index.php?Fl=Greinar&ID;=169

Yes. You heard what I said. All of it. It's all a bunch of lies. I know that it is a shocking claim to many, that our trusted officials in concert with our reliable mass media actually participated in deliberate deception designed to get us to accept war, but deal with it. I'm making it.
Our biggest moral obligation is ensuring that wars are not waged against people under false pretenses. War is the most disgusting and horrible thing you can inflict on any person.
As you read this article I am sure you will find there are a number of things that will surprise you. After researching the situation for months I assure you I have investigated as many sides of the story as possible. But I did reach a clear conclusion and I will not shy away from openly expressing the views that I have formed during this process.
What we have been seeing recently in the media, this time with a special emphasis on the online community, is the most sophisticated propaganda firework display we have ever witnessed. It’s no surprise so many people have been duped.
But a lie can travel the world before the truth has tied it’s shoe laces. But I believe that once the laces have been tied and the truth starts walking, eventually it’s gonna get to people.
There are at least two sides to every story
None of us could possibly have avoided hearing NATO’s side of the story and the reasons and justifications given for Gaddafi’s removal and how military intervention is necessary to protect Libyan citizens.
But are you sure you’ve heard both sides? Have you heard Gaddafi’s perspective on this issue? Or have you just heard “his side” as represented by the mainstream western media? If so I can start by telling you that his words, and the words of his son, Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi have been deliberately misinterpreted and edited out of context to create simple soundbite propaganda to influence people.
You will find that there is a completely different side of this story that is being completely ignored. It is not even being debated for it's merits, it simply is not talked about at all in the mainstream media.
Think about it. How much do you really know about Libya? Did you in all honesty know anything about the country before these events started unfolding? If I would have asked you back in February 10 questions about Libya and it’s affairs, how many do you think you would have answered correctly? And how much do you honestly know about what is going on there now?
I often find it intriguing how people tend to think they are qualified to give their view on things that in reality they know next to nothing about. They might have vague ideas generated by the mainstream media, biased textbooks and general pre-conceived notions, but not an actual thorough understanding of the country and it’s people and customs.
I had a discussion with a guy at a local bar the other day and I began the conversation by asking if he could tell me on what continent Libya was. Neither he nor his friend could answer correctly, picking Europe and Asia as their educated guesses. For some reason this guy still felt that his take on the situation was more accurate than mine, even as I told him I had been spending weeks investigating the matter. For those of you confused the correct answer is Africa.
I want to ask a simple question to make a simple case? Can you name me one current Libyan government official? You’re not allowed to say Gaddafi. Who holds the position of “Secretary of the General People’s Assembly” a position comparable to that of prime minister, although with a slightly different emphasis as he does not represent a political party and does not alone hold significant power. Did you even know that such a position exists in Libya and that he is elected by the people?
The less you know about something, the easier it is to deceive you.
My intention for exposing your potential and likely ignorance on this subject is not an attempt to show that I’m smarter or better than you. As I found out myself researching this article I knew remarkably little about Libya. And that is my point.
The mainstream media is focusing entirely on a set of news stories that have the specific intention of gathering support for military action and actively suppressing any story that would lead to people opposing it. This pattern will be exposed clearly as this article progresses.
It’s no wonder we don’t know much about Libya. Of course it gets confusing with all the different stories we hear of dictators and tyrants oversees. It is difficult to be an expert on all nations in the world. Just consider how many nations have existed and how long and rich each of their history is and how complex and

Frank Zarb "Our Most Important Policy Failure: Energy" (September 20, 2011)
Frank G. Zarb started & ended his remarks on September 20, 2011 at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum in Grand Rapids, Michigan with this question: Will political leaders ever be able to take short-term pain, for the long-term good of our nation? Zarb spoke on OPEC's 1973 oil embargo and how it devastated the US in numerous ways including decreasing the GDP, increasing unemployment, gas stations running out of fuel and the federal government taking control of how Americans buy gasoline and heat their homes. Zarb stated that "The impact of a major oil disruption, from the economy to national security, is unthinkable, but it could happen again. Since 1973 we have done little to decrease importing oil from questionable parts of the world".
President Gerald R. Ford made energy a high priority in his Administration, including creating a long-term plan to reduce oil imports. Frank Zarb worked with President Ford to make a comprehensive plan to move the US away from foreign sources of energy, allowing for greater national security and allowing for a clearer path for both domestic and foreign policy.
President Ford wanted to do what was right for the country, even if it would not have been good for his political future. In 1975, Ford delivered his Energy Plan at a State of the Union, which included forcing conservations through fuel taxes, elimination of price controls, increasing the number nuclear power plants and plants powered by coal, opening the outer-continental shelf to oil & gas exploration, supporting the construction of new oil refineries, mandating the construction of a strategic oil reserves for emergency use and increasing the effort to develop synthetic fuels. Most parts of the Ford Energy Plan were turned down, as the 1976 Elections were soon approaching, and members of Congress needed to worry about their short-term agendas, rather than the nation's long-term good.
Zarb spoke on President Ford's enacting a $1 and $2 per barrel tariff on imported oil, to move Congress to act on the Energy Crisis, an example of short-term pain idea that would result in a long-term good. Facts: in 1973, 35% of America's oil needs were imported; in 2011, 60% of America's oil needs are imported which includes $400B leaving the US annually to buy oil from foreign sources, most of it from the Middle East. Zarb touches on the ways politics and elections impede how the US is able (or unable) to finally answer the question of how our country can move away from relying on foreign sources of energy.
In his own words, the US would be a different place if we had leaders who would put decreasing foreign sources of energy at the forefront of our policy making, instead of making politics the highest priority. Zarb stated that if the Ford Energy Plan had been adapted, the US would be different by: 1) the US would have control over its own energy universe; 2) energy prices would probably be lower and thus helping our own US economy; 3) the US would be further along in developing alternative sources of energy; and 4) the US foreign policy and defense strategy would not be distorted by our dependency on Middle East oil.
President Ford appointed Zarb to several top-ranking positions in his Administration including: Executive Director of the Cabinet Level Energy Resources Council, Administrator of the Federal Energy Administration and Assistant to the President on Energy Affairs ("Energy Czar" during first oil embargo). Zarb also served as Chairman of the NASDAQ stock exchange, Chief Executive of Travelers Inc. and CEO/Chairman of Smith Barney. Hofstra University named the Frank G. Zarb School of Business in his honor, for his contributions to the university.
The second speaker in the Alternative Lecture Series will be Charlie Maxwell on November 10th, whose topic will be "What will Gas Prices be in 2015".
