JEANNETTE CATSOULIS, NY Times: Art house meets grind house in Cargo 200, Alexey Balabanovs morbidly compelling thriller set in the Soviet Union.
http://www.amazon.com/Cargo-200-Natalya-Akimova/dp/B001PKPVRG
It is 1984, the economy and the party are collapsing, and the bodies of slain Soviet soldiers â code-named Cargo 200 â arrive regularly from the war in Afghanistan. Seeking distraction, a number of loosely related characters stray into the countryside, where dancing, drinking and unreliable vehicles kick-start a tale of unpredictable jeopardy and escalating depravity.
Pulling roughly on several narrative strings, Mr. Balabanov conjures a political and moral landscape drowning in corruption and pickled in black-market vodka. People cross paths and disappear, only to show up later wielding firearms or unexpected official identities. Connecting them is a hollow-eyed police officer named Zhurov (Alexey Poluyan), whose abduction and abuse of the innocent daughter of a party official is the movies grandest act of sadism.
All this punishment can at times obscure the point; but the cinematographer, Alexander Simonov, coaxes a savage beauty from sad skylines and the gaunt shells of silent factories. As Zhurovs drunken mother sprawls in front of an absurd television show, steadfastly ignoring the horrors in the next room, Cargo 200 plumbs near-comical depths of anti-Communist fury. Not many people will be laughing.
http://www.puztv.com - For more than 50 years, he has been Italyâs most powerful, feared and enigmatic politician. And as Giulio Andreotti begins his seventh term as Prime Minister, he and his hardliner faction take control of a country reeling from the brazen murders of several high-level bankers, judges and journalists, as well as the kidnapping and assassination of former Prime Minister Aldo Moro. But as the Christian Democrat party crumbles in a nationwide bribery scandal, suspicion begins to fall on Andreotti himself as the center of a shocking conspiracy involving the Vatican, the Mafia and the secret neo-Fascist Masonic Lodge P2. In what is called âThe Trial Of The Century,â Italyâs legendary Senator for Life will stand accused of corruption, collusion and murder.
Do you know what Gov. Rendell, Bill DeWeese, Mike Veon, and Vince Fumo all have in common? They all supported and work hard to bring upon us this wonderful FLEECING machine known as GAMING. Except for Fumo and Veon who will soon be working hard making license plates, Rendell and DeWeese are mow working harder than ever to bring VEDIO POKER machines to our doorsteps. I wonder how many times are gaming bill and other forms of CASINO FLEECING were was brought up on those cell phone calls and in those e-mails, and if so, why hasnâÃÂÃÂt anyone brought that corruption to the table. And I won't be surprised if one day we are all driving around with a design of a SLOT machine on are license plates.

Reporter Frank Hahn is on the run from the cops for writing an expose that tries to expose their corruption. The good news is he has hard evidence to take them down. The bad news is he can't remember anything from the last 2 weeks, including the location of the evidence! Premiered at the New Haven Underground FIlm Festival 2008
Today on The Lunch, Rob covers the national impact of a local election, the local impact of a global summit, as well as nukes, corruption and the fools of April.
This is a historic podcast about how an Admin of U.S.W.G.O. will start podcasts about all opinions by him, public interviews by U.S.W.G.O. and his guests of his podcasts, and all debates and evidence gathered by him and what he believes. This is the main podcast and anything he talks about will be on seperate podcasts and they will be categorized in subjects he talks about. The U.S.W.G.O. is a national campaign for direct democratic reform and to bring control of this government to the people. I support William Henry, Alex Jones, David Wilcock, Edgar Cayce, Michael Moore, and several others that are fighting against all odds to expose the truth of political and corporate corruption at the bilderberg level and banking level. U.S.W.G.O. is in beta right now which means it won't work 100% until we pay for a paid host instead of using a free host. My mother believes I shouldn't pay for a host until U.S.W.G.O actually gets debates going on in there and actual people talk on the forum. Once I get actual people, debates, and start real communities then I will expand it to being a bigger coalition against divides and become a giant community against elite bankers interests and be for the people by the people, and of the people.

Chemonics works with USAID and the Albanian government to reduce corruption and improve performance in three areas, using an “e-governance” approach. The goal is to strengthen transparency and efficiency of tax administration, public procurement, and business registration. As a result, government operations that were cumbersome and opaque have become measurably improved. Business registration that used to take an average of 47 days now takes only one day and for the minimal cost.

Many people in the east have access to media now more than ever. That media has allowed much freedom of investigation but it has also resulted in some inaccurate stereotypes. I want to deal with some of those and specifically those surrounding books by Bart Ehrman out of North Carolina in the USA. He has written a book called Orthodox Corruption of Scripture (1997) and a simplified book of the same material called Misquoting Jesus.

It is very wrong when we say the youth of our nation is not getting
involved in politics. But what's the quality of youth that's entering
politics? That is a crore rupee question. Moreover what is happening
with the youth who are already sucked into the corruption that
prevails our political system? Who is taking decisions for us the
"YOUTH"? Who is calling for whom? Our man from Nupur Bedi says it
all!!
The word politics over the years as turned synonymous to corruption and filth. Usually when I discuss politics with city dwelling youth or even sometimes "mid life dwells"(apart from our grandfather types) they seldom have a clue. Nevertheless, they usually have the audacity to make fun of the system, politics, and politicians. I do not blame them but how many of us really try to understand the "System" that which is providing us, we pay our taxes to. If we have problem with the system how many of us really stand up to change it. Here I met this girl in small village in Punjab. She says is it all.
Politics: The art or science of government or governing, especially the governing of a political entity, such as a nation, and the administration and control of its internal and external affairs.

With the help of the Zambia Threshold Project, the Government of Zambia, the private sector, NGOs, and everyday citizens are working together to create a society and business environment that is more open and transparent. By streamlining the processes to register and run a business, to import and export, and to obtain land titles and work permits, opportunities for corruption are reduced, along with the cost of doing business in Zambia.

Zeitgeist: Addendum, attempts to locate the root causes
of this pervasive social corruption, while offering a solution. This solution is not
based on politics, morality, laws, or any other "establishment" notions of human affairs,
but rather on a modern, non-superstitious based understanding of what we are
and how we align with nature, to which we are a part. The work advocates
a new social system which is updated to present day knowledge, highly influenced
by the life long work of Jacque Fresco and The Venus Project.
