    • Taking Liberties

      It has taken the world centuries to fully grasp and understand, as well as apply, the concept of civil liberty. But with the changes and the improvements made by modern technology, it seems like this concept is once again slowly eroding.

      While we now enjoy the freedom of speech and we are given the right to protest, there are still measures the government and the authorities have taken to affect our right to privacy.

      This documentary takes on a humurous but very poignant take on how civil liberty has declined in the last few decades. The opening scene of this film opens with a protest in Gloucestershire in 2003, where over 100 rioters were held by the police and brought back to London for questioning. They were denied their right to express, to protest.

      There are CCTV cameras set up by millions of establishments all over the world, which may be undermining our very right to privacy. We hear of human rights conventions, which only means that oppression is still happening everywhere.The government issues new laws, such as the Terrorism Act or the New Labour Laws of Britain, that others argue, are new measures that may also mean curtailment of our freedom.

      The documentary, directed by Chris Atkins, shows a myriad of footage that demonstrates what the film believes are examples of how the world’s definition of “civil liberties” have changed.

      Every British Citizen should watch this documentary to realise what our government has done in the name of so called anti terrorism.

    • Inspired

      Thats a real eye opener, I cant believe our government gets away with all this. I live in a small town where nothing EVER happens let alone anyone read anything or think for a second that something seriously wrong is going on here. It sickens me to see all these lazy fools in our country coasting through life blissfully unaware to these sorts of injustices and have the nerve to call me "crazy" or that I'm just boring whenever I try to inform people of these issues. I will be moving to London next year and will be there in the thick of it making my voice heard and I dearly hope more take the same attitude and get off their fat arses and get mad!!

      man when it showed the landsdowne road 'bomb factory' raid i had somewhat of an epiphany.
      i've been prejudiced against muslims for so long, yet when i saw how the kahar brothers spoke i felt they are still just our brothers in the exact same struggle. they are just a group that have been given such a terrible public image that even i feel a personal justification for discrimination against them and i'm a very individual person.
      muslims arent bad people, muslims are people and the bottom line is people are just people. this website has given me so much its kind of crazy, and to see it fully dash any and all personal discrimination of muslim people is extraordinary and profoundly good, so thank you.
      sorry to the muslim people, truly you guys get it bad, i can see why you feel justified in burning representive stuff in the streets and going offit over attacks against islam.
      im a stoner and i hate when dicks preach to me about not getting high because of what they believe, if you do the same to muslims just because some rich liers say that muslims are fundamental terrorists you're a dick too.
      ive been a dick and i know alot of people who have too, i hope more people see stuff like this within this documentary. the beaurocracy is the only real enemy, different groups within citizens are mearly contrasted ideals culminated from what we've been told.

      our rights aren't being eroded. they were never respected in the first place. the reason it appears they're being "eroded" is because we are growing up out of the delusion that they were.

      Time to let go of the old government fantasy and begin with something new.

    • phil88

      its funny because we are in need of a new world order, just not the monopolised oligarchy that the the politicians and big business are on about.

      We need to start thinking like a race, not like countries, we gotta recognise everyone is human and we all have the same specific goal: survival. Until we recognise that politics is just an illusion to keep the real arbritors of power concealed, we will never create a free, truly democratic world. Wake up and read a fuckin history book, none of these tactics are new, boom/bust economics, wars over resources, false flag terrorism etc etc

      I think if people learned more from the past our future would be very different, until we do, we're all doomed to repeat the same mistakes

    • AdamTM

      You know what we need, we need a revolution, but a different kind of revolution.

      I dont want communism, i dont want socialism, i dont want law over law of regulations forcing equality on everything.

      What i want to see is education and reason.

      Once the education takes root, democracy and capitalism will start working in ways you never imagined possible.

      Of course as John Stewart put it, it would be a really unsuccessful revolution, nobody wants to go out on the street with signs reading:

      BE REASONABLE!

      or

      I WANT TO LEARN MORE!

      For all the technical advancements we had, for all the good positive changes we made during the past 100 years towards liberty and equality, most of our society ITSELF still behaves like sheep.

      The revolution needs to come in the form of self recognition, or rediscovery, however you want to see it.
      Society needs to reflect on what it is, and what makes it.

    • The Tay

      i agree with you wholeheartedly Phil88. america is like rome all over again. i would say, 'you would think people would learn after 2000 years', but i get the impression that that is the whole point of why these tactics are still in use. people dont care. self betterment, or more importantly racial(human) social and technological evolution are on the backburner. and yes, most of that ties into what AdamTM was saying about education. has anyone noticed that pop culture and what is 'cool' has gravitated towards being ignorant? the more ignorant a person is, it seems the more successful they are able to become. this is due to an ignorance is bliss stance of the western masses. lets face it. media and sex appeal has made us docile. (lol hey. i am a guy, i love my sex, and my action flicks, but it doesnt make it any less true.) we need to focus, as the human race, on what is important, before our collective ignorance and fear of change buries us.

    • phil88

      @The Tay – Amen, couldn't have put it any better myself :)

    • The Tay

      Thanks Phil88. I are good at english talking and smart making. lol. the sad part is that it is all just words. its tragic that we arent able to enact change. any of us, us included. we can complain about it, claim to see it all so clearly, but we have no way out of the fact that for at least the next ten years we are going to sit here looking at each other wondering what to do about the problem. its that whole fear of change thing. we are all guilty, and until something major happens like a zombie apocolypse or aliens landing, we probably wont be capable of bridging the education, nationality, race, sexuality gap.

    • AdamTM

      I think WE, and the host of this site, are already doing something.

      I for one spread these documentaries amongst friends, and then we talk about them.

      If all of us build a small community around ourselves, spread the knowledge, discuss, we've done our part.

      No need to despair – yet.

    • The Tay

      Thats true, i do what i can to try to spread that, but what i have seen is that most people are still including myself are still too busy with our lives to give it more than a passing glance, and a few whoas and wows. frankly the pacifying power of modern civilization is highly effective. there is always stuff you want, and food is one of those things, so put your nose to the grind stone and dont ask questions. i am pretty frustrated by it, being that i spent most of my adult life in the army, and frankly i am disappointed in what i was fighting for.

      What we all need is more information, like this film !
      When a public is well informed, they can forget their daily preoccupations, for a while at least, and the shift in thought, responsibility and energy shifts..

      it's usually misinformation and one sided media that creates the apathy..

    • jm

      Politics is a distraction. It's an illusion to make you believe that the government evils are somehow the voters' fault.

      Forcible government is a moral abomination and completely counterproductive to peace and prosperity.

      It's time for a voluntary, free-market system of social organization.

      End legal violence.

    • jm

      People people people, listen- please stop it with the Democracy worship.

      You CAN get tyranny with a democracy!!!

      Nazism and Communism are all based on democratic principals.

      If 9 people out of 10 say X is ok… it doesn't make it moral.

      The ONLY principal that secures freedom and prosperity is PROPERTY RIGHTS.

    • Sam G.

      Rights not not something granted by a government. A right is the absence of force.

      By definition, a government is a violator of rights. The best thing a government can do is to disappear.

      Afraid of criminals? Why are you giving a group of people the RIGHT to steal and use violence against you?

      Isn't that like curing a headache by cutting off your head?

    • Tay.

      The only person who can make the decision between "liberty vs safety" is the individual himself.

      The government has NO RIGHT to make that decision for you.

      The government doesn't exist. It's just people…and no one has MORE rights than you.

    • Tay.

      If you have a logical inconsistency in the logic of your bridge, your bridge will hurt people. If you have a logical inconsistency in your medicine, you'll hurt people.

      Why would it be any different in the realm of politics?

      Until we address the core logical fallacy of statism, we'll get more and more of the same.

      Look for the free audio book "Everyday Anarchy" for more.

    • James Campbell

      There were too many feelings that arose in me the first 20 minutes of the Video to put in words. I know this in only but a very small slice of what is happening.
      History is repeating its self.
      My eyes started to water-up; everything we had in the past is gone.
      Just go to work if you have a job, watch TV, Drink, smoke and keep your eyes and head down; you will be ok, Big Brother will love you.
      Thank you to this website.

    • cachalandran

      im not european … but this really got my attention..the "developed" first world countries are always talking about this horrible repressive, evil governments all over the world. it seems to me that they are the evil they want to kill. civil society should have the courage to go beyond all this and re gain their rights.

      it concerns me so much. we are no longer protected by the state, but threatened.
