This is a half-hour documentary special I produced and directed for MTV in 1986. Tom Petty’s hand had finally healed (after he’d broken it in a fit of frustrated pique caused by his inability to complete the long-gestating “Southern Accents” album) and the band was anxious to play. We captured the Heartbreaker’s very first live show in years – an impromptu concert on the roof of the Don Ce Sar hotel in St. Petersburg (a rather obvious tribute to the Beatles' "Let It Be"). But first -- we journeyed to Tom’s hometown of Gainesville, FL and retraced the band’s early days. Charles M. Young of Rolling Stone conducted a far-reaching interview with Tom, and for good measure we visited the set of one of the new “Alice In Wonderland” – themed music videos produced for the record’s release. The show became the template for the later “Rockumentary” series, and features some guest-editing by Steven Soderbergh!

http://www.kla.tv/7143 Late in the evening of November 13th, 2015, the French capital was shaken by an outrageous series of attacks. According to current information, 132 people died, 352 were injured, including 99 se-riously hurt. The assassins struck six times within 33 minutes in obviously coordinated attacks. Three terrorist commandos struck almost simultaneously: They randomly shot people and blew themselves up. The terror started shortly after 9 pm in front of the soccer stadium “Stade de France” where France and Germany played against each other Friday night. During the game, two suicide bombers blew themselves up in front of the stadium. Investigators reported 4 dead - three of them terrorists. The concert hall “Bataclan” was attacked shortly after, where the US band “Eagles of Death Metal” was playing. As reported by the German newspaper “Badische Zeitung”, at least four attackers stormed the hall while the band was playing the song “Kiss the Devil”. About 100 people were killed. Only 2 months beforehand, the Jewish owners sold the “Bataclan theater” and immigrated to Israel. More people died at four other places – in crowded cafés and bars – close to the Bataclan concert hall. Seven terrorists were dead, prosecutor Francois Molins said. Until now, one attacker has been identified as French. Another trace leads to Belgium, where possible accomplices are sought. Police circles also announced that a Syrian passport had been found near one of the dead bodies. Experts point out that the passport could be stolen, forged or bought. In a declaration pub-lished on the Internet on Saturday by the terrorist organization “Islamic State” (IS), it is stated: “brothers with explosive belts and assault rifles” had carried out a “blessed attack”. The targets had been “purposefully selected in the heart of Paris”, a statement with indirect reference to the French air attacks on the IS in Syria and Iraq. So far a summary of the most important facts. At the moment further background information can only be speculated about. We at Kla.tv would like to take up some basic considerations that need to be looked at in context with the so-called “Is-lamic” terrorist attacks. First, the journalist and Islamist expert Yassin Musharbash clearly said that the terrorist attacks have nothing to do with Islam even if the alleged terrorists refer to Islam. A quote from Musharbash: “These people are not followers of a religion but of an ideology – the ideology of Jihadism.” He says that Jihadism is a political philosophy combined with murderous, brutal instructions with the ultimate goal to subject the rest of the world. However, Jihadism should not be mixed up with the practiced religion Islam. The Jihadist groups include among others the Islamic State (IS), Al-Qaeda, the Al-Nusra Front as well as Boko Haram. Secondly, it should be considered how radical Jihadism developed in the first place. The Canadian professor of economics Michel Evgeny Chossudovsky wrote in an essay in 2007 that it was known and documented that the “Islamic terror network” was a creation of the US secret service. The “Is-lamic Jihad” – or the so-called “holy war” against the Soviets became an actual part of the CIA in-trigues in the Afghanistan war against the Soviet Union in 1979. It was pushed by the USA and Saudi-Arabia. About 35,000 Muslim extremists from 40 Islamic states had taken part in the Afghan war against the Soviet Union. In an interview with the news channel “Fox news”, General Wesley Clark, former Supreme Allied Commander Europe of NATO, said, I quote: “We, the United States, used radical Islam to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan.
