The first section of links below are to films that contain a lot of information about problems which we need to know about. We have to understand the present situation in order to find appropriate solutions and put them into practice. Of the solutions that are offered in the film ‘corporation’, some I agree with, others I don’t. Study of the situation reveals that there are many changes that help to make a healthier life, but for long term success and for shared success world wide (which necessarily go together), I believe that all other changes need to be in the context of getting rid of capitalism and setting up socialism. See section below – 'For solutions to these problems'

'I used to be a reporter/columnist for a small town, corporate-owned newspaper. I was very outspoken and my skeptical eye toward those in power infected some of my co-workers. For a short while, we did a good job covering issues like racism, nepotism and other forms of public corruption. Circulation began rising, but alas, the business community rebelled. Increased circulation means nothing if your pool of targeted advertisers won't do business with you. So, being a corporation, and bound by law to turn a profit for shareholders, the newspaper must change its editorial content to please the chamber of commerce. Employees who want to investigate injustice are told to shut up or go away. Some choice. There are hundreds if not thousands of unpaid journalists out here who are just like me.' Chuck Richardson

Tom Burghardt is author of Police State America: U.S. Military "Civil Disturbance" Planning (AK Press)

The meticulously researched articles in this anthology expose the state's national security blueprint for destroying democracy and crushing dissent. Deploying "civil disturbance" strategies as part of a comprehensive doctrine of "homeland defense", police, national guard, and elite army counterinsurgency units are gearing up for "operations other than war" in US cities.
