A Powerful Pro-Life Resource. If you want the truth about the abortion industry in, you need to get a copy of Bloodmoney.  A critical look into the dark origins of abortion: how a movement based on racism and population control usurped the momentum of the women’s rights movement to create something truly horrifying – a multi-billion dollar industry that literally thrives on the destruction of unborn babies and the traumatizing of young pregnant women. It’s not about hearsay. It’s not about political bias. Bloodmoney goes right to the historical documents. Bloodmoney goes directly to the women involved in the cases that made abortion legal. Bloodmoney goes directly to abortion clinic owners. Bloodmoney speaks directly with women who’ve had multiple abortions and lets them paint the picture of how the industry really works.

From the moment of conception, every human embryo embarks on an incredible nine month journey of development. Now, cutting-edge technology makes it possible for National Geographic’s In the Womb to open a window into the hidden world of the fetus and explore each trimester in amazing new detail. Revolutionary imagery sheds light on the delicate, hidden world of a fetus as never before.

This is the most vivid, powerful, and striking videography of the unborn child that exists. It was obtained through a rarely used technique called embryoscopy, in which a video camera the size of a pen-point is inserted abdominally or cervically. It’s light years beyond ultrasound and will make you practically fall off your chair when you see it.

They were stolen from their homes, locked in chains and taken across an ocean. And for more than 200 years, their blood and sweat would help to build the richest and most powerful nation the world has ever known. But when slavery ended, their welcome was over. America’s wealthy elite had decided it was time for them to disappear and they were not particular about how it might be done. What you are about to see is that the plan these people set in motion 150 years ago is still being carried out today. So don’t think that this is history. It is not. It is happening right here, and it’s happening right now.

One of the most ominous events of modern history is quietly unfolding.  Social scientists and economists agree – we are headed toward a ‘demographic winter’ which threatens to have catastrophic social and economic consequences.  The effects will be severe and long lasting and are already becoming manifest in much of Europe. A groundbreaking film, Demographic Winter: Decline of the Human Family, reveals in chilling soberness how societies with diminished family influence are now grimly seen as being in social and economic jeopardy. Demographic Winter draws upon experts from all around the world – demographers, economists, sociologists, psychologists, civic and religious leaders, parliamentarians and diplomats.  Together, they reveal the dangers facing society and the world’s economies, dangers far more imminent and conclusively proven than global warming

The much anticipated sequel to Demographic Winter uncovers how population control programs, organisations, institutions, governments and the United Nations manipulated and coerced people, evaded political accountability and acted in underhanded ways targeting the poor and violating human rights. But their greatest impact was in the developed world. Demographic Bomb shows what happens when countries comprising 80% of the world’s economy have plummeting numbers of workers and innovators, falling consumer spending, and not enough.

‘Big Science’ has expelled smart new ideas from the classroom. What they forgot is that every generation has its rebel! Ben Stein, from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and The Wonder Years is on a journey to answer one of the biggest questions ever asked: were we designed or are we simply the end result of an ancient mud puddle struck by lightning? Stein, who is also a lawyer, an economist, a former presidential speechwriter, author and social commentator, is stunned by what he finds on his journey. He discovers an elitist scientific establishment that has traded in its skepticism for dogma. But even worse, along the way, Stein uncovers a long line of biologists, astronomers, chemists and philosophers who have had their reputations destroyed and their careers ruined by a scientific establishment that allows absolutely no dissent from Charles Darwin’s theory of random mutation and natural selection. “Big Science in this area of biology has lost its way,” says Stein. “Scientists are supposed to be allowed to follow the evidence wherever it may lead, no matter what the implications are. Freedom of inquiry has been greatly compromised, and this is not only anti-American, it’s anti-science. Its anti-the whole concept of learning.” Expelled uncovers that educators and scientists are being ridiculed, denied tenure and even fired in some cases for the fact that they believe there is evidence of ‘design’ in nature, challenging the idea that life is a result of random chance. The creators of Expelled crossed the globe over a two-year period, interviewing scores of scientists, doctors, philosophers and public leaders. The result is a startling revelation that freedom of thought and freedom of inquiry have been expelled from publicly-funded high schools, universities and research institutions.

In 1831 a young amateur scientist, Charles Darwin, boarded HMS Beagle on an epic five-year voyage of discovery. His observations and later reflections resulted in a book that profoundly impacted the world. 2009 marked the 200th anniversary of Darwin’s birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of his ‘Origin of Species’. The Voyage that Shook the World retraces Darwin’s journey, exploring the places and discoveries crucial to the formulation of his ‘Theory of Evolution’. Filmed in South America, the UK, North America, Australia and Europe, The Voyage features dramatic period recreations and stunning nature cinematography interwoven with scholars sharing their perspectives on the man and the controversy. A fascinating and thought-provoking opportunity to gain new insight into The Voyage that Shook the World.
