Showing results for "Paul" in Media Studies

If you enjoyed the chilling experience of In Cold Blood and were at the edge of your seat while watching Oliver Stone’s JFK, you’ll love this investigative look into all the facets of one of the top conspiracies of the 20th century and beyond.

We present ourselves and encounter others through profiles. A profile shows us not as we are seen directly but how we are perceived by a broader public. Profile-based identity is evident everywhere from pop culture to politics, marketing to morality. This book argues that the profile marks an epochal shift in our concept of identity and demonstrates why that matters. You and Your Profile blends social theory, philosophy, and cultural critique to unfold an exploration of the way we have come to experience the world.

Brought to you by Penguin. We all know the feeling of digital exhaustion. The aimless scrolling, eyes glazing over at the screen. The feeling that no matter how many messages we respond to, how many posts we read, or how much data we sort through, we can never stay ahead of it. Digital...

COVID-19 was deadly, but the real killer was the coverup, led by America’s most durable medical bureaucrat—a man for whom the truth was too often expendable. Senator Paul makes a powerful case that funding dangerous bioengineering in a totalitarian country is madness.

In the following keynote address given at Baylor University, author Paul Levinson discusses Canadian philosopher and academic Marshall McLuhan's seminal book, "Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man," which proposed that the media—not the content that they carry—affects the society in which it plays a role and, thus, should be the focus of study. Levinson, a colleague of McLuhan’s, lays out, how in the decades since its 1964 publication, McLuhan’s study of media theory and the concept that "the medium is the message," still holds true.

Set against the backdrop of Jim Crow, Night Train to Nashville takes readers behind the curtain of one of music's greatest untold stories during the era of segregation and Civil Rights. In another time and place, E. Gab Blackman and William Sousa "Sou" Bridgeforth might have been as close as...

Writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby co-created the all-star group of six superheroes in September 1963. From there, just three main writers chronicled Earth's Mightiest Heroes in that most turbulent of decades: Roy Thomas, Steve Englehart, and Jim Shooter, each with differing approaches. The Avengers quickly became the pivot around which the Marvel Universe turned. To look back through its issues is to get a crash course in '70s pop culture.

Were the government actions at Ruby Ridge and Waco "planned executions"? Has the national debt been deliberately increased to give international bankers control over the country? Is there a secret organization of top political, economic, military, and religious leaders whose goal is to control the entire planet?

Generoso Pope, Sr., an Italian immigrant, arrived in New York in 1906 with only pennies in his pocket. He got a job shoveling sand, but through his intelligence, he worked his way up to become the biggest provider of cement, just as it was becoming the key material for building. Gene Pope, Jr., was his father’s choice to inherit and run the business, but Gene’s mother and two brothers forced him out, and he found himself penniless and on his own. With a loan from his godfather, mobster Frank Costello, Gene bought the New York Enquirer. He renamed it the National Enquirer.

In the following keynote address given at Saint Francis College, author Paul Levinson discusses Canadian philosopher and academic Marshall McLuhan's concept of "The Medium Is The Message" from his seminal book, Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man. "The Medium Is The Message" proposed that the media—not the content that they carry—affects the society in which it plays a role and, thus, should be the primary focus of study.

Science doesn't speak for itself. Neck-deep in work that can be messy and confounding and naïve in the ways of public communication, scientists are often unable to package their insights into the neat narratives that the public requires. Enter celebrities, advocates, lobbyists, and the funders behind them, who take advantage of scientists' reluctance to provide easy answers, flooding the media with misleading or incorrect claims about health risks. In Bad Advice, Paul A. Offit shares hard-earned wisdom on the dos and don'ts of battling misinformation.

Was the 2000 presidential campaign merely a contest between Pinocchio and Dumbo? And did Dumbo miraculously turn into Abraham Lincoln after the events of September 11? In fact, Kathleen Hall Jamieson and Paul Waldman argue in The Press Effect, these stereotypes, while containing some elements of the truth, represent the failure of the press and the citizenry to engage the most important part of our political process in a critical fashion.

The pandemic has been orchestrated by a cabal of billionaires, known as “the Good Club,” to initiate history’s greatest transference of wealth and to further the globalization of poverty. The virus was created in military laboratories within the United States as a biological weapon. Even the riots have been staged. The Phantom Virus: How an Unseen Enemy Shut Down the Planet! by Rodney Howard-Browne and Paul L. Williams will prove it.

Today, we are finding lost cities, strange structures, and more with new technology that may also prove, once and for all that Atlantis might not be a myth, that in fact it may hold the secret to who and what we really are. Explore Atlantis in a new light, that encapsulates the legacy of humanity from the Bible, to cataclysms, to alien intervention and beyond.

What was once an Orwellian fable is now our reality. Even though our ancestors were controlled by the ruling elite comprised of royalty and religions, they would not recognize what has become of our world today and amazingly very little has in fact changed. The difference is, we believe we are free, when in truth we are controlled, manipulated, and cajoled into action or inaction. We are bled dry of our money, time, lives, and even our very souls.

The day that Dr. Andrew G. Huff left his senior scientist and vice president role at EcoHealth Alliance was one of the happiest days of his life due to the corruption he had witnessed at the organization. However, he never thought working there would be of any great consequence to the future. He was wrong. Because, as an EcoHealth Alliance insider, Dr. Huff had had a ringside seat to one of the biggest cover-ups in history.

From the food we eat, the water we drink to the air we breathe, everything these days seems capable of killing us. Recently we have seen an unprecedented number of deaths due to medications for diseases that may not even exist, obscure cancers caused by our modern devices, and brutal police...

In the shadows lies a nefarious otherworldly force waging war upon humanity, a dark menace that governs not just our thoughts and actions, but our very souls. They are a secret cabal that built and created rules and systems of thought, created kingdoms and spawned religions to rule the masses from afar, by controlling the ebb and flow of space and time on an epic level. Under the guise of free will and individualism, the systems in place around us ensure that we have no choice but to comply and obey an underlying agenda that at its core is pure evil.

Over recent decades the proliferation of conspiracy theories has fueled alternative explanations and false narratives for events and circumstances, influencing minds around the globe. While some turn out to be true, others turn out to be driven by an agenda created for monetary or political gain. Who really killed JFK? Is Covid-19 a Chinese bioweapon? Was Princess Diana murdered? Were the Moon landings hoaxed? Were the 911 attacks an inside plot by government factions? Conspiracy Machine examines the validity of these theories.
