I am an independent filmmaker, writer, and photographer, working mainly as a web programmer. I attended the University of the Arts in Philadelphia Photography-Film program and went on to graduate studies in Communication at the University of Delaware. I currently build database programs for a southern California planning agency while also making independent short films. I have a strong interest in the issues of the day and other subjects that make for compelling reading and filmmaking.

An insightful look at Obama's statement on why universal healthcare would disrupt the economy.

The only economy affected by universal healthcare is the criminal insurance industry.

This is a in depth explanation of a healthcare protest action made through an interview with one of the participants as the sit-in and arrests take place in the background. The accompanying text goes on to explain the situation with more quotes from doctors.

Doctors and healthcare professionals will continue to protest the weak insurance reform and the horrible current system until they see a universal ... More »

This is yellow journalism. The writer is obviously politicaly prejuduuced aginst MSNBC and sees them as a left wing consiracy of sorts. He also appears to be strongly affiliated or at least in step with the right wing poltical agenda, known to have infamously used "astro-turf" corporate backed organizations to populate town halls with fake "people". What MSNBC is doing is not fake. There's nothing at all fake about real health clinics offering real medical services. This is a great ... More »

Well referenced account of investigative sources report on Congressional payouts by the health care insurance industry.

A comprehensive analysis of the potential effect of the media to stop war.

Wars can be stopped through communication. The military has to censor the media in order to keep wars going.

Your government, the U.S. government, has learned that to wage war they must censor all media. There are virtually no images of the current wars. The ones you do see are ... More »
