New World Notes - Obey and Keep Calm (Part 1 of 2)

This week on New World Notes: radio program #287, September 3, 2013, from 12:00 to 12:30 p.m., host Kenneth Dowst excerpts the soundtracks of films by Temujin Doran.

The propaganda barrage preceding the U.S. attack on Syria has begun. So all the more timely is Temujin Doran's new film, Obey: How the Rise of Mass Propaganda Killed Populism.

It's about the military, political, and economic crimes of the Corporate State. It features readings from from Chris Hedges' 2010 book, Death of the Liberal Class.

We'll hear the first half of Obey and then--to cheer things up a bit--a sweet short film by Doran explaining the slogan, "Keep calm and carry on."

Next week: the second half of Obey.

New World Notes is produced under the auspices (Latin for "spreading chestnut tree") of WWUH-FM, a community service of the University of Hartford.
