| Puerto Rico A Nation |

Puerto Rico: A Nation, is a tribute to the
Puerto Rican struggle for independence
highlighting some of the events and people
that mark the movement in Puerto Rico. I
used music by Fiel a la Vega, a Puerto Rican
rock band to set the mood for the images.
This was done entirely using Windows Media
Player with images found by using Google
image search. I hope you will all enjoy this
little video and I think its a good exercise
for those who are not familiar with Puerto
Rico or its history to try and figure out who
and what is depicted in the images. Also
check out latinoinsurgent.blogspot.com where
I write about Puerto Rico, Latin America, and
Latinos living in the United States. Thank
you all for supporting my work, and I
appreciate any and feedback you can provide.

| PR Firms = Propaganda |

The tip of th e iceberg that we call the
American media. It's not what it once was
(if it EVER was, to begin with)... John
Stauber is a left-wing American writer and
political activist who co-authored five books
about propaganda by governments, private
interests and the PR industry. They include
one book about industry manipulating science,
Trust Us, We're Experts, one about the
history and current scope of the public
relations industry (Toxic Sludge is Good for
You), and one about mad cow disease (Mad Cow
USA), which predicted the surfacing of the
disease within the United States. In July
2003 he and Sheldon Rampton wrote Weapons of
Mass Deception: The Uses of Propaganda in
Bush's War on Iraq, that argued that the Bush
administration deceived the US into
supporting the war. In 2004, the two wrote
Banana Republicans, which argued that the
Republican Party is turning the U.S. into a
one-party state. The book argues that the
far-right and its functionaries in the media,
lobbying establishment and electoral system
are undermining dissent and squelching
pluralistic politics in the United States.
Stauber is the founder and executive director
of the The Center for Media & Democracy,
which sponsors PR Watch and SourceWatch.
Since the 1960s, he has worked with public
interest, consumer, family farm,
environmental and community organizations at
the local, state and national level. He edits
and writes for the Center's quarterly
newsmagazine, PR Watch.
