Since we don't have a free press or media, and since it all belongs to the same sort of people who benefit from these wars and pay for the people in congress and the White House. We have no redress. We have no place to turn! Except for a kind of samer scotch that we are beginning to develop in the United States... Writing for each other, and information begins to get around, and get around... ... I went to Moscow a few times before the Soviet Union collapsed, and I was always amazed at all that censorship they had in Pravda... And I said, how is it that most of the Russians that I talk to, most of the intellectuals, know more about what is going on in the world than the avergage American with our tons and tons of news print and TV? And they said it's a trick! You learn it when you're a kid! You learn how to read Pravda; which ironically is Russian for the word Truth. It's sorta like this: You hold the paper up like tha-a-at so it's nearly upside down; and in the lower right hand corner you get a little bit of the truth. And then you do like that to the back page and - you have to know where to go (smiling broadly, gesticulating, pointing his fingers) - they worked it out like a picture puzzle... And they were very well informed... Being constantly lied to... As we are.
Alternative 3 is a television programme, broadcast once only in the United Kingdom in 1977, and later broadcast in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, as a fictional hoax, an heir to Orson Welles' radio production of The War of the Worlds. Purporting to be an investigation into the UK's contemporary "brain drain", Alternative 3 uncovered a plan to make the Moon and Mars habitable in the event of climate change and a terminal environmental catastrophe on Earth.
The programme was originally meant to be broadcast on April Fools Day, 1977. While its broadcast was delayed until June by industrial action, the credits explicitly date the film to April 1. Alternative 3 ended with credits for the actors involved in the production and featured interviews with a fictitious American astronaut.

This doc covers Dutroux, and the Zandvoort CDrom which held 8,000 child pron pics. 81 victims are identified in the photos yet no action is ever taken in their cases, and the whistleblower is jailed.
