Ende 1944 wird der 16-jährige HJler zu einer Grundausbildung der Wehrmacht nach Böhmen geschickt, im März 1945 wird er für die «Kampfgruppe Böhmen in der SS-Panzergrenadierdivision Hitlerjugend» rekrutiert. Einen Monat später werden die Jungen an die Front bei Wien geschickt. Das Kind kämpft und tötet – und gerät in sowjetische Gefangenschaft. Es beginnt eine jahrelange Odyssee durch diverse Lager im Baltikum und in Russland. Erst 1950 kehrt er nach Hamburg zurück, von jeglicher patriotischer Abenteuerlust kuriert.

Un largo trabajo de investigación que desvela cómo Rusia se ha convertido en el gran desestabilizador de la geopolítica global. Tras la caída de la Unión Soviética en 1991, Rusia era un país empobrecido y caótico que parecía destinado a la irrelevancia internacional. Pero bajo el liderazgo de Vladímir Putin, ha recuperado una influencia que desafía el orden global. ¿Qué sostiene este «imperio» que con los años ha derivado hacia el totalitarismo?

Thomas Paine was one of the greatest political propagandists in history. The Rights of Man, first published in 1791, is the key to his reputation. Inspired by his outrage at Edmund Burke's attack on the uprising of the French people, Paine's text is a passionate defense of the rights of man. Paine argued against monarchy and outlined the elements of a successful republic, including public education, pensions, and relief of the poor and unemployed, all financed by income tax.

Betty MacDonald was a 28-year-old reporter from Hawaii. Zuzka Lauwers grew up in a tiny Czechoslovakian village and knew five languages by the time she was 21. Jane Smith-Hutton was the wife of a naval attaché living in Tokyo. Marlene Dietrich, the German-American actress and singer, was one of the biggest stars of the 20th century. These four women, each fascinating in her own right, together contributed to one of the most covert and successful military campaigns in WWII.

If you had told Roger McNamee three years ago that he would soon be devoting himself to stopping Facebook from destroying democracy, he would have howled with laughter. He had mentored many tech leaders in his illustrious career as an investor, but few things had made him prouder, or been better for his fund's bottom line, than his early service to Mark Zuckerberg. Still a large shareholder in Facebook, he had every good reason to stay on the bright side. Until he simply couldn't.

My Life in Propaganda is Magda Stroińska’s personal account of growing up with communist propaganda in Eastern Europe. She compares the beliefs of her family with what she was taught at school, learning early on about double interpretations and ambiguities through language. Through her chosen field of linguistics, she analyzes ways in which propagandistic language, such as ‘doubletalk,’ Orwellian ‘Newspeak,’ ‘weasel words,’ and, more colloquially, ‘bullshit,’ is used to distort reality. The book demonstrates that democracy can never be taken for granted.

Det celebre stjernepar Shin Sang-Ok og Choi Eun-Hee var forsidestof i efterkrigstidens Sydkorea. Forelskelsen, aegteskabet og skilsmissen mellem den store filminstruktør og den smukke skuespillerinde var en god historie, og hele befolkningen laeste med. Det gjorde Kim Jong-Il også i Nordkorea.

When Anna Broinowski learned that fracking had invaded downtown Sydney, she had a brilliant idea: she would seek guidance for a kryptonite-powerful, anti-fracking movie from the world's greatest propaganda factory - apart from Hollywood. After two years of trying, she was allowed to make her case in Pyongyang and was granted full permission to film. She worked closely with the leading lights of North Korean cinema, even playing an American in a military thriller.

It began with a tantalizing, anonymous email: "I am a senior member of the intelligence community." What followed was the most spectacular intelligence breach ever, brought about by one extraordinary man. Edward Snowden was a 29-year-old computer genius working for the National Security Agency when he shocked the world by exposing the near-universal mass surveillance programs of the United States government. His whistleblowing has shaken the leaders of nations worldwide, and generated a passionate public debate on the dangers of global monitoring and the threat to individual privacy.

Los Angeles, anni trenta. Con l’avvento del nazismo il regista Georg Wilhelm Pabst lascia la Francia dove sta lavorando e si trasferisce negli Stati Uniti. È uno dei grandi maestri del cinema tedesco d’avanguardia, ha diretto le più importanti star del muto e portato al successo Greta Garbo rendendola immortale, ma in America è solo uno come tanti. Incapace di adattarsi ai meccanismi dello studio system, dopo aver girato un film che si rivela un fiasco, non vede più un futuro a Hollywood e abbandona il sole della California per tornare in Europa.

This is Muttley, from Muttley and The Marauders speaking.Through the medium of spoken word, poetry and music, Reality Propaganda conveys my views of the world in which we live. It is a solopsistic outlook; solopsism is the idea that only your own mind is sure to exist. It holds that knowledge of anything outside of your own mind is unsure; the external world and other minds cannot be known and might not exist outside the mind. The bottom line, these are my thoughts and everyone else is wrong.Punk rock, hip hop, football, cute dogs and extreme violence,,, what more could you want. Hosted on ...

In the early hours of July 10, 2016, gunshots rang out and a young man lay fatally wounded on a quiet Washington, DC, street. But who killed Seth Rich? When he was buried in his hometown, his rabbi declared: “There are no answers for a young man gunned down in the prime of his life.” The rabbi was wrong. There were in fact many answers, way too many. In the absence of an arrest, a howling mob filled the void. Wild speculation and fantastical theories surfaced on social media and gained traction thanks to a high-level cast of provocateurs.

The one real difference between the American press and the Soviet state newspaper Pravda was that the Russian people knew they were being lied to. To expose the lies our media tell us today, controversial journalist James O'Keefe created Project Veritas, an independent news organization whose reporters go where traditional journalists dare not. Their investigative work - equal parts James Bond, Mike Wallace, and Saul Alinsky - has had a consistent and powerful impact on its targets.

In Britain, state broadcasting began at 18:00 on November 22, 1922 when Arthur Burrows, the Director of Programmes at the newly formed British Broadcasting Company, announced, “This is 2LO, Marconi House, London calling”. “London calling” became a key phrase used in broadcasts by the BBC. When the service began, most listeners were hobbyists who had their own radio receivers. In 1922, around 30,000 people in the UK had radio receiver licenses.
