Drug documentaries on TV / Internet

hmm i just watched this.
very interesting stuff - but very strangely put together. is it just me, or could they easily have made that into a concise half hour or 40 min doco, rather than over an hour and forty minutes? too much repetition and corny *shock horror* music. and what's with the stiff american presenters (?)

i gotta say that i think a few of their allegations are absurd - such as the singling out of the ABC.
yes, janet albrechtson was one of many obviously political appointees to the ABC board - the howard government did a lot of that - but are they seriously suggesting she had that much power that it was possible to compromise the integrity and impartiality of media watch of all things?

media watch is about as far from the sterile spin of government as any program on australian tv. they put the boot into the howard government many many times, and the media coverage that reported on that government. they make it sound like some state-owned media bulletin straight out of beijing or something.

they seemed to gloss over the blatant agendas and bias of the corporate media and try to target the ABC. they show a 'clarification' on lateline, followed by a soundbyte presumably from talkback radio, saying the ABC issued a clarification on a story at 4 in the morning. very odd - just one of the strange choices of supporting evidence.

and they made a big point of saying that schapelle corby became a deliberate source of 'entertainment' (as a propaganda tool) - and follow this with guys from 'the chaser', as well as paul mcdermott, mikey robbins and judith lucy taking the piss out of her.
well...yeah - that's what those comedians (all very sardonic aussie comedy folk) do best! especially on the programs that they were on which were essentially news-based comedy tv shows.
corby was big news - and tasteless as it may have been, fair game for comedians' cheap jokes.

the suggestion of a conspiracy there is pretty laughable. which is a shame, because it seems like they may have had some really interesting points involving the AFP, DFAT and the australian government - but it's hard to take seriously when a lot of their sources seem to be talkback radio, a current affair and weird convoluted conspiracy stuff.

i think there probably was political interference, and i feel sorry for schapelle corby and what she's been through - and howard and his cronies were a bunch of deceptive self-serving crooks - but the whole thing sounded like it was written by a school kid...and edited by someone blind drunk. interesting nonetheless! thanks poledriver.

You took the words right out of my mouth. Seriously... Everything you said there I was planning on saying, not even exaggerating I thought EXACTLY as you have said.

It's very sad that the facts like cvv footage from the airports not being avaliable to her, or the FACT that her luggage weighed more in Indonesia than it did when she had it weighed for luggage. I mean theoretically she could have had the weed somewhere else at the airport and put it into her boogie board bag after getting the ticket for it showing it's weight. But the fact that she was unable to use these facts in court definitely shows some questionable issues.

I did come off this thinking that there is corruption high up in the AFP that are affiliated with moving illegal drugs domestically through customs officers (which isn't overly surprising). The fact that their spokesperson said to the media that there is little evidence that there is customs officers being involved when plenty of other people (some of which were confirmed like that couple that had gone to Indonesia and were advised to flush there drugs instead of going to the authorities) who had the evidence to prove it.

I really saw nothing to suggest that the ABC or the Government are in a conspiricy. Although they probably didn't do as much to help as they should have.

I feel sorry for a girl who I've never met and will never know. Until I watched this I too thought she was probably guilty, but now I believe in her innocence. I remember hearing that her dad was affiliated with the drugs trade (which seems to have been disproven) and thinking that she was probably guilty.

Seriously though... that corny shock horror music was painful from two minutes in. The next 100 or so times I was cringing every time.

Also... BRING BACK THE CHASER'S WAR ON EVERYTHING
 
I haven't seen the docu, however I read two books, one by her, and one by an investigative journalist... I forget the names, and after reading the one by the journo, i felt sure that if she wasn't guilty, per se, she was at least guilty by association with her dad... the point I am making, is not about her guilt or innocence, that could be a whole new thread... its more about the power of media to sway our opinions...
 
The guy who organised the drugs was on the vid and said it wasnt her, he said he couldnt stand letting an innocent person do all that time for it, he claimed full responsibility for it all.

And all the 3 airports cctv footage made not available, the drugs so quickly burnt and not tested and so much more. Seems like the whole things was a fucked up mess. Anyway there's loads of theories out there.

Documentary about the theory of witchcraft.

Why were people seeing pigs fly and people in the local village were getting convulsions and effectively posessed.

As a result of these symptoms women in these times were burnt at the stake.

This documentary explains the link between Ergot, LSD and Witchcraft.

40,000 innocent people were killed by witch hunts.

"The House I Live In": New Film Exposes Economic, Moral Failure of U.S. War on Drugs. 1 of 2

democracynow.org - This weekend the top documentary prize at the Sundance Film Festival went to "The House I Live In," which questions why the United States has spent more than $1 trillion on drug arrests in the past 40 years, and yet drugs are cheaper, purer, and more available today than ever. The film examines the economic, as well as the moral and practical, failures of the so-called "war on drugs," and calls on the United States to approach drug abuse not as a "war," but as a matter of public health. We need "a very changed dialogue in this country that understands drugs as a public health concern and not a criminal justice concern," says the film's Director Eugene Jarecki. "That means the system has to say, 'We were wrong.'" We also speak with Nannie Jeter, who helped raise Jarecki as her own son succumbed to drug addiction and is highlighted in the film. We air clips from the film, featuring Michelle Alexander, author of "The New Jim Crow;" Canadian physician and bestselling author, Gabor Maté; and David Simon, creator of "The Wire."
