Here are more videos which I've suggested to run during the AWARE on the Air and News
from Neptune timeslots. I've also asked that if someone else has something else to to
run please prioritize their suggestions above mine.
Thanks.

Consortium News
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7M41Nbtp5Y -- (1h 10m) "NOT IN OUR NAME: The
Psychological Torture of Julian Assange" film about Julian Assange's case, Assange's
isolation, imprisonment, and torture. Followed by discussion with Director John Furse
and Nils Melzer, UN Rapporteur on Torture. Very highly recommended viewing.
If you want to run the film alone, run https://youtu.be/xvR4dpz6LS4 instead (24
minutes). It's a higher quality copy than the one with the discussion, but the
discussion is good.
Jimmy Dore
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3IUV-4Y8mc -- (8m 02s) Why young black voters
reportedly don't want to vote for 2020 Democratic Party nominee Sen. Joe Biden. A
very good concise review of Biden's policies which would give anyone cause to not
vote for the Democrats.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mK0k1BMUxl4 -- (7m 41s) "DEMOCRATS Prevent Trump
Withdrawing Troops From Afghanistan!"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBQ6ihQPsDU -- (4m 51s) Nancy Pelosi's corrupt
bailout for her husband's business and how politicians profit while most people are
told to "calm down" and wait for their bailout (which never comes) as they suffer
immiseration.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUQPUHSlquA -- (5m 02s) "The Reality of America -- A
Tale of Two Economies!" on two events that happened in the same day: the Dow Jones
breaks 29,000 for the first time, and a man robbed a pharmacy and left a note saying
"I'm sorry, I have a sick child". As Jimmy Dore concluded, "It's almost as if the
Wall Street doesn't reflect the real economy.".
Black Agenda Report
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJ4kCnbxy6s -- (36m19s) "Left Lens episode 2: Free
Speech Against Black Lives" on the limits of allowable debate including calling out
those who are credited as being "on the left" or "progressive" but are really for
restricting speech that doesn't echo an establishment narrative, highlighting those
whose struggle are left behind (even a mention of Steven Salaita and his firing plus
subsequent difficulty finding a job in academia), the Democrats (kneeling in Kente
cloth), NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio being photographed painting the street just outside
Trump Tower with "BLACK LIVES MATTER" while not (and probably in an effort to avoid)
changing police policy.
