Michael Pollan, a professor of journalism and a student of food, presents the history of four plants, each of which found a way to make itself
essential to humans, thus ensuring widespread propagation. Apples, for sweetness; tulips, for beauty; marijuana, for pleasure; and, potatoes, for
sustenance. Each has a story of discovery and adaptation; each has a symbiotic relationship with human civilization. The film tells these stories and
examines these relationships. www.pbs.org... en.wikipedia.org...

Riddles in Stone - The Secret Architecture of Washington D.C. (part 2 of the above)
This documentary explores the highly controversial subject of the design of America's capital. Was the city built to reflect the majesty of America's
newfound freedom? Or the hidden agenda of secret societies? With every major cornerstone laid by Freemasons, was the city built in a Masonic pattern?
Embark upon this incredible journey as Riddles in Stone interviews experts on both sides of the heated debate. Watch as Freemason apologists defend
some of the most direct and hard-hitting questions concerning the influence of Masonry in America, and its symbolism in Washington, D.C. Alongside
them are leading researchers who maintain that occult architecture permeates the city, and conceals a secret agenda. Was D.C. laid out according to
the pattern of the stars? Is there really a pentagram in the street layout north of the White House? Does a Masonic square and compass extend from the
Capitol building to the Washington monument? And why is the city filled with zodiac symbols, mysterious faces, and various god and goddess images? If
America was founded as a Christian nation only, where are the images of Jesus Christ? Or does Washington D.C. symbolize another Christ, the Masonic
Christ?

Secret Mysteries of America's Beginnings Volume 3: Eye of the Phoenix - Secrets of the Dollar Bill
Secret Mysteries Vol. III focuses on the development of the new world as "The United States of America". This video will demonstrate that the history
of America's government, and of its official symbols, is a history of secret societies. Examine America's much-talked-about dollar bill and the
symbols it bears. Modern masonry claims that the all-seeing eye floating above the pyramid is not a Masonic symbol. But what did Freemason's President
Franklin D. Roosevelt, and his Masonic Vice President, Henry Wallace, believe when they attached this symbol to our currency in 1935? How were these
American leaders influenced by the Russian mystic, Nicholas Roerich? Does the all-seeing eye represent the Masonic Christ? Was the eagle originally a
phoenix bird? And what do all these occult symbols mean? Follow the journey of the Secret Mysteries series as we unveil their influence through the
20th century. Many believe that the real purpose of the many "Wars and Rumors of Wars" has been to establish a commonwealth of nations to rule the
whole world. With the North American Union on the rise, is America the victim of deception? Or is she THE instrument of Global Government?

The spectacle is a central notion in the Situationist theory, developed by Guy Debord in his 1967 book, The Society of the Spectacle. In its limited
sense, spectacle means the mass media, which are "its most glaring superficial manifestation." Debord said that the society of the spectacle came to
existence in the late 1920s.
The critique of the spectacle is a development and application of Karl Marx's concept of fetishism of commodities, reification and alienation, and the
way it was reprised by György Lukács in 1923. In the society of the spectacle, the commodities rule the workers and the consumers instead of being
ruled by them. The consumers are passive subjects that contemplate the reified spectacle.
