A new biomolecular movie has been released from the same Harvard team that brought us the phenomenal Inner Life of the Cell. This video is also 100% atomically accurate and depicts the mitochondria which provide the chemical energy that powers the cells of animals (and also have their own DNA because they were originally a separate organism before symbiotically fusing with animal cells).

The widely popular Did You Know internet video series where incredible statistics about the changing world are portrayed infographically has released a Drug War edition.

This years new Project Censored 2011 Book has been released including numerous stories and references to the 9/11 cover up. Dr. Peter Phillips and Mickey Huff explain in this interview that they have been censored by so called “alternative” left wing publications because of their refusal to drop 9/11 truth content!
They also cover some of the other top 20 censored stories in this excellent and important interview with the Guns and Butter radio show. Strongly reccomended!
(If you just want to hear the part about the 9/11 stories skip to 9 minutes but the entire 1 hour interview is filled with a lot of vital info.)

24 talks and panels uploaded so far and more to come:
