    This one is pretty good -

    [video=youtube;_I0HYDJBcos]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_I0HYDJBcos[/video]

    It is about this stupid kid that tried to kill himself but messed up and only half did the job and then his trash parents try to sue heavy metal band Judas Priest because they claim that it was not their poor parenting that was responsible for their sons injuries sustained when he shot himself in the head - but Satanic subliminal messages from one of the boys favourite Judas Priest songs. It is a pretty good doco.

    This is my favorite documentary of all time - I saw it as a kid 30 years ago and it has stuck with me ever since - "The Day the Universe Changed" - it's a 10-episode story of how scientific discovery has changed society through history. I guarantee it'll get you thinking:

    I like documentaries and clips etc that include actual talking heads because we can see and hear the person for ourselves, so we know his/her words are genuine and not just some rumour.
    For example I saw Obama say in a clip some years ago- "Our aim in Afghanistan is not to defeat the Taliban, but to contain them and prevent them spreading their influence".
    So there we have it, a President openly admitting he didn't want to defeat an enemy...

    This is the personal story of Karl Wilhelm Krause, who was the valet of the Fuehrer from 1934 to 1939, and was also responsible for his personal safety and security. Through his daily contact with Adolf Hitler, and those of his most intimate circle, both in his public life, as well as, inside the Fuehrer's private quarters, no one had access like Herr Krause. Nor was anyone ever in a better position to observe Hitler; his personal habits, character, and demeanor, and to assess his social interactions with average citizens, employees, friends and colleagues, public figures, academics, leaders of industry, as well as, with foreign leaders and dignitaries. In this one and only interview, recorded on camera in the early 90s, Herr Krause testifies of his duties, his daily routine, and what he saw, heard and experienced, while in the constant presence of, and service to, the leader of the the Third Reich. Hitler called him "mein Schatten" (my shadow).

    The testimony which you are about to hear is of invaluable historical importance, and forms a comprehensive and highly relevant, contemporary documentation, revealing surprising facts about the most talked about and enigmatic man in history, painting a far different picture of Adolf Hitler, than the court historians, Hollywood, and the Mass Media have typically portrayed.

    This German language interview took place around 1990 and has been kept under wraps. We have translated it into English, paying close attention to accuracy. We do not have access to the original tapes. What is contained here is exactly what was published in Germany in its original form. We have also translated the text captions into images, inserted some extra pictures, added a musical score, and created both an intro and outtro. A 90 minute version is planned with some extra related footage, but we have set no release date for the final version.

    **NOTE:There is one know error in this film. One picture we included is not of Herr Krause, as we have since discovered, but rather of another of Hitler's servants by then name of Rochus Misch. It is in the introduction, a colour photograph, and the gentleman is in a green uniform.

    Some of the topics covered include:

    What Hitler was really like as a person and as a boss, his habits, his mission, the so-called Annexation of Austria, Crystal Night, the beginnings of the war with Poland, England's declaration of war against Germany, Germany's decision to attack the Soviet Union, etc. There is a wonderful anecdotal story about a private, unscheduled taxi ride and walk around Munich, just the two of them together, one night at Christmas time.

    This film is provided here for free for the purpose education.

    Hitlers War - Translated Underground German Documentary - Truth about WWII

    [video=youtube;MejbBsSAP8I]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MejbBsSAP8I[/video]

    Hitler's War: What the Historians Neglect to Mention. An English translation of "Hitlers Krieg? Was Guido Knopp Verschweigt" by Alphart Geyer (Germany 2009). This is a 96 minute long "Made in Germany" underground documentary film. It's the first documentary ever to unabashedly explain from the German perspective, how World War II really began, and the many efforts that were made by Hitler to avoid it, and to establish a lasting, viable and mutually acceptable peace, but how he was ultimately left with no choice but to invade Poland. It documents many facts that have been deliberately left out of the "official narrative" as presented by the victorious Allies, which we have all been taught since 1945, and which Germans especially have been constantly reminded of since the war ended; with the blame entirely upon Germany's shoulders. Many of the claims of the Allies that have been widely accepted as fact are refuted here as patently untrue, distorted, or ignored completely.

    The film is largely based upon a book entitled "Der Krieg der viele Väter hatte" (PDF) (English: The War that had Many Fathers) by German author and historian, Gerd Schulze Rhonhof and "Ein unvermeidlicher Krieg? — Der Weg zum 1. September 1939" (An Unavoidable War -- The Path to September 1st, 1939). Rhonhof is a former high-ranking, German military officer (Brigadier General in the Panzer Division) who has done, as any honest historian should, his own deep research in the war archives, and has been assisted many other historians. His website contains all of his documentation. His books and assertions, not surprisingly, have not been so well received by many politicians, academia, the Left, and the mainstream media.

    The making of this film seems to have been prompted primarily by some comments made by Chancellor Angela Merkel, speaking to a live audience and the various Heads of State from many nations, gathered at a ceremony in Danzig in 2009, to remember Hitler's (allegedly) senseless and unprovoked attack on Poland, paying respects to the Polish victims on behalf of Germany, and as always, expressing gratitude to the Allies, for their sacrifices in the victory over National Socialism. Merkel, like all other German chancellors since the end of World War II, accepted full responsibility and with it, the perpetual guilt for the entire war on behalf of all Germans, and unquestioningly accepted, again: the villain role ascribed to National Socialist Germany by the victors, which many Germans, to this day, deeply resent, yet have silently endured it all of their lives. Merkel's comments, however, struck a raw nerve for many Germans who know "the rest of the story".

    "Hitler's War" is also a sharp rebuke to well known German "journalist", author, filmmaker and commentator Guido Knopp (to whom the original film title actually refers), and who many Germans regard as "Uncle Guido" (in the English sense of an "Uncle Tom"), as he has a reputation for being a domestic Propaganda Minister for the World War II Allies, regarding the Third Reich and National Socialism. For he, like Merkel and the others, continues to ignore many facts, and only dutifully reminds Germans of the guilt of their forefathers (and by extension, their own "inherited" guilt), based upon a highly sanitized "official version" of history.

    There are always two sides to every story, and now the Germans are finally telling theirs. This film is a "must see" for anyone with a sense of justice, honour, fairness and dignity, who have respect for ALL of the victims of World War II (not merely the "politically correct" ones) and who are interested in an accurate account of history. Indeed, if we are to learn from history, and not be doomed to repeat it, then we must also have a fair and accurate account from which to draw our conclusions and upon which to make decisions in the present, and for our future.

    This film has broken through the 60+ year old taboos. Truth has breached the barbed-wire fences of "political correctness", and is making a desperate run for it's life.

    Heads up USA / Europe. How Liberalism Destroys A First World Country in Two Decades!

    [video=youtube;rLvw0qMwSEk]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLvw0qMwSEk[/video]


    Between Heaven and Hell - The True Story of Whites in South Africa.

    South Africa, which contains more than half of the world's Gold and Diamond reserves, incredible agricultural potential and stunning nature, flora and fauna, became the most developed and richest nation in Africa through centuries of hard work and sacrifice by the European pioneers, yet has also paid a dear price as everyone wants to own and control it all.

    Going way back to the 1400's when Europeans first discovered it and then started settling there and their clash with the African colonisers from the North, the black Bantu, who had conquered the entire sub saharan continent from their origin in Northern Nigeria.

    Subsequently these colonisers from the North became pawns and a proxy for very evil men who would hijack and decieve these colonists from the North.

    Those with the most power, the World Supremacist Liberals and Marxist Socialist Elites, Globalist Zionists and Multinationals hold the country enslaved like a dog in a cage so they can plunder it and purchase raw materials very cheaply, and also destroy the identity of its people in order to propogate the Unicultural New World Order - One World Government (UN), where all races are forcibly blended into one, all religions are forcibly blended into one, all cultures are forcibly blended into one...

    Globalisation is the new colonisation. Be warned America. Be Warned Europe. Deliberate "Africanisation" has already take two continents (Africa and South America). You are next.

    Thank you to everyone who made this documentary possible.

    One of the best ever

    [video=youtube;eJ3RzGoQC4s]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJ3RzGoQC4s[/video]

    As far as music and narration goes I dont think this can be beat. Its been my favorite since I was a kid and the music album was the first i ever bought. I was only 8 and it was 1956 so I hadnt discovered rock and roll yet. Heck we were one of the first on the block with a stereo and it was a big piece of furniture

    I would recommend "The secret life of the manic-depressive" by Stephen Fry.

    For those curious about the workings of the bipolar mind, and the impact that both bipolar and depressive disorder can have on somebody's life, it's very illuminating.

    He also interviews quite a few famous people about their own problems, and that can give a whole new meaning to their performances.

    I know many. But the most important one is, "Adolf Hitler: The greatest story NEVER told." Just enter the title into your browser. Go to the first website and scroll down the page. You will find all the various parts of that documentary. Start out with part 21 called "The Leuchter Findings." Find out what a real Jew has to say about the holocaust. As for the rest, I would recommend starting at the end and working your way back. That way, you will get to the jucyest parts first.

    This one is really interesting. It kept me interested through the whole thing. Pretty fascinating and morbid stuff.

    On the other hand, short vids can whet our appetites very nicely..:)
    For example this 4-minute job about the 'Double Slit Experiment' gets us interested in quantum physics because when scientists try to monitor the photons with detectors. the photons amazingly change their behaviour as if they know they're being watched, seemingly throwing up a "reality barrier" that the universe won't allow us to penetrate, how spooky is that?..;)

    For crying out loud. That is not a documentary...

    Anyway, I found this one fascinating:

    Not bad if you want to know about history and have a spare 2 hours.
    It's basically about a secret war between America and the United Kingdom for world domination.

    I watched "Tower" last night. About the 1966 University of Texas shootings. Very interesting combination of animation and archival footage. This documentary is packed with actual edge-of-your-seat action and tales of heroism.
