kennedy nolan is a melbourne-based architecture practice established in 1999 by rachel nolan and patrick kennedy ( who both met while studying and living on campus at the university of melbourne ) .

kennedy nolan principally work on residential projects , but their folio expands to include educational , retail and hospitality projects .

despite the increasing scale of their work , they retain a domestic intimacy to their buildings .

the first project for kennedy nolan architects came with a rush of energy and abundance of ideas . thirteen years later , director patrick kennedy reflects on the first house by the practice .

deepdene house by kennedy nolan is a mixed bag of influences , from edwardian architecture to the lesser - known arts & crafts style . | pinterest | edwardian arch…

deepdene house is located in a suburban neighbourhood filled with edwardian properties and verdant gardens . kennedy nolan describes its appearance as " roofs and chimneys emerging from lush tree canopies " .

evoking memories of form , colour , texture and light that are typically tied to asian influences , kennedy nolan architects’ latest project ( patrick kennedy & rachel nolan ) , st kilda west house in melbourne , australia , is a primary example of how to draw on the intangible and on the power of suggestion in the creation of a distinctly unique atmosphere .

" we were asked to be considerate of the neighbours , who were very attached to the edwardian character of the street , " explained the design team , which is led by architects patrick kennedy and rachel nolan .

design at kennedy nolan is generated drawing on the optimistic precepts of modernism - rational , utilitarian , empowered by technology - and a positive view that the design and arrangement of spaces can support and reinforce relationships , can add piquancy and zest to life .

the deepdene house designed by kennedy nolan architects is a treasure trove of contemporary design details that work together to enshrine the past . arched doorways , sculptural chimneys and a pyramid - shaped roof are just a few of the quirky traits of this east - melbourne home .

kennedy nolan was established in 1999 and has since developed a reputation as a design focused practice with a distinctive approach to built form . the practice is dedicated to the production of architecture that is highly responsive to its context and seeks to form a strong relationship with landscape .

nolan worked for dublin city council and , once upon a time , was a craftsman at the harry clarke studio . he’s here with his friend helen mcguigan , an occupational therapist . “she watches out while i shoplift , ” says nolan . he’s joking .

it struck me as an interesting coincidence that in the week of the 50th anniversary of the publication of robin boyd’s the australian ugliness i was asked to write about kennedy nolan’s laver house in kew . for me , kennedy nolan’s work has always embodied an honesty conjured out of a pared back aesthetic , of dextrous design and natural materials typical of mid - century architecture . add to that the mark strizic photographic documentation of the studio’s early work and there’s a tangible connection to this resonant era of modern melbourne . it was with ‘razorblades’ boyd in mind ; his inquiring intellect , and the ubiquitous question of what makes a worthy suburban contribution that i visit the laver house .

kennedy nolan is a design focused practice of 16 people including directors , architects , graduate architects and students of architecture . the foundation of the practice has been residential architecture , but in recent years there has been a diversification to a range of multi - residential , early childhood , primary , secondary and tertiary education , large scale mixed - use and retail projects .

christopher nolan ' s batman trilogy is seen as a high water mark for comic book movies and especially batman by many . when ben affleck was announced as the next in line to portray the dark knight , many fans scratched their heads and a lot of people were clearly upset with the choice after christian bale ' s performance under nolan ' s direction . but it appears that reeves , much like lucasfilm president kathleen kennedy , has his ear to the ground and is listening to what the fans want to see in a new version of batman .

reeves also talked about the way that nolan a story throughout three movies , a vision that stays clear throughout while staying personal , much like a hitchcock character . reeves says this .

in a neighbourhood described by kennedy nolan as “roofs and chimneys emerging from lush tree canopies” , they were conscious of the neighbours who were very attached to the edwardian character of the street . deepdene house draws on arts and crafts architecture – a style that overlapped with the edwardian era – through its combination of crafted materials and decorative forms . white painted brickwork , a patterned semi - transparent wall and a swimming pool lined with vibrant blue tiles help create this aesthetic .

love this project and love kennedy nolan’s work . on the article… . . densification : is about creating space for more people to live not more building density . the typical alteration and addition to a house ( which we also do a lot of ) does not lead to to the kind of densification that is desirable and sustainable and that boyd was seeking - i . e . a denser city… a city of more people living closer together……… . . rather it just leads to bigger houses for less people .

" what i love that ( nolan ) did was that he took the genre seriously . what studios willing to make at the moment is a very , very narrow band of films . what i discovered is that this genre has the

the project incorporated many of the characteristics that have come to define kennedy nolan architects today . the design adapted an existing building and the scope encompassed the entire site . the project was our first exploration of the possibilities of a plan . there is evidence of our interest in defined zoning – the liturgy of habitation , of hierarchical planning – you can see our preoccupation with aspect , axis and the long view . the formal qualities of the building exhibit our ongoing interest in the suggestive power of abstract form . references are made to the history of the building and to the notion of hearth as home .

major retrospectives of nolan ' s work have been staged in london ' s institute of contemporary art ( 1962 ) , sydney ( 1967 ) , melbourne ( 1987 , 1992 ) , and new york ' s metropolitan museum of art ( 1994 ) .

director matt reeves reveals he ' s been taking cues from christopher nolan ' s dark knight trilogy on his upcoming solo adventure for bruce wayne . the batman director has been talking a lot about the upcoming movie and pulling from different influences , namely alfred hitchcock and more recently christopher nolan . reeves has also drawn comparisons between bruce wayne and caesar from reeves ' most recent movie war for the planet of the apes , in addition to talking about doing something different than what the studios expect in regards to the comic book movie genre .

" i think the other thing that i really admire in what ( nolan ) did was knowing what it is to make a big studio film , which often can fall into that sense of committee filmmaking where there ' s an anonymity to the point of view of the film . "

war for the planet of the apes will be released on july 14th , 2017 and soon afterwards matt reeves will jump straight into the batman with ben affleck . while not much is known about the plot , we do know that reeves has promised a hitchcockian influence that has excited many fans hoping for a return to the psyche of batman and hopefully a return to his detective roots . reeves also goes on to mention the influence of christopher nolan on the batman and making a big budget studio movie . the director seems to admire the way that nolan was able to make a personal , serious studio movie . reeves explains .

a separate mention should be made in respect of his fremantle series of paintings , produced in the 1970s . unmatched for colour by any 20th - century paintings , except perhaps by a handful of fauvism works , their brilliant colour pigments are nothing short of dazzling . they represent , arguably , nolan ' s most creative phase since the 1940s .

cregan’s friend ann nolan is also here . “ah , it’s good craic , ” she says . “the other day a guy came up and said , ‘could you give me a loan of the star ? ’ ‘not ‘can i buy the star ? ’ but ‘give me a loan of the star . ’ and austin gave it to him . ” she chuckles .

in 2010 , his painting first - class marksman ( 1946 ) became the most expensive australian painting in history . the only one of nolan ' s first series of 27 ned kelly paintings not owned by the national gallery of australia , it was purchased by the art gallery of new south wales for a record $ 5 . 4 million . see also : most expensive paintings : top 20 .

“we’re actually here because we were worried about clerys , ” says mcguigan . “we were hoping they were getting business . ” mcguigan – who was , in nolan’s words , “deported from australia” in 1982 – likes o’connell street a lot . she passes through most days , and often drops into the philatelic section in the gpo . “it’s the only place you can get all the back issues of the year’s stamps , ” she says . “my mother collects them . ”

nolan used numerous different themes in his painting , including series like : gallipoli ( 1956 ) , leda and the swan ( 1959 ) , america ( 1958 - 60 ) , africa ( 1961 - 2 ) , antarctica ( 1964 ) , new guinea series ( 1965 ) , fremantle ( 1970 - 9 ) , miners ( 1972 ) , and his cezanne pastiches ( 1978 ) . but his most powerful and recurrent imagery was his depiction of ned kelly . his simplified motif of kelly ' s square - shaped armoured helmet is now an iconic australian image .

in an interview with design files , rachel nolan explains past projects : ' ' i feel like i understand how you inhabit domestic space . i remember what it is like to be a kid , what it is like to be a student , what it is like to share a house , to be single , to live with your partner . i know what it is to have a husband and run a family house . but to be able to use this and find some magic in how you might live is what i love about doing residential projects . ' '

nolan was initially attracted to abstract art - a form he returned to in the last decade of his life - in the manner of paul klee ( 1879 - 1940 ) . his own minimalist abstract paintings , like boy and the moon ( 1940 ) , consisting of a splash of yellow against a raw blue backdrop , caused some controversy among observers . in addition , using his experience as a commercial artist , he also designed theatrical sets and costumes for serge lifar ' s ballet icarus , which opened in sydney , in 1940 . in the same year , he held his first solo exhibition at his melbourne studio .

paintings by sidney nolan can be seen in many of the best art museums in australia , including : national gallery of australia , canberra ; art gallery of western australia , perth ; queensland art gallery , brisbane ; art gallery of new south wales , sydney ; national gallery of victoria , melbourne ; art gallery of south australia , adelaide ; the australian war memorial , canberra ; ballarat fine art gallery ; australian national university , canberra ; heide museum of modern art , melbourne ; and others . overseas , he is represented in the tate gallery , london ; the carnegie museum of art , pittsburgh ; and several other important public collections .

knighted in 1981 , nolan ' s contribution exceeds that of drysdale , and other 20th century painters such as sir william dobell ( 1899 - 1970 ) , noel counihan ( 1913 - 86 ) , albert tucker ( 1914 - 99 ) , arthur boyd ( 1920 - 99 ) , john perceval ( 1923 - 2000 ) and william robinson ( b . 1936 ) , but it follows in the great tradition of the 19th century heidelberg school of australian impressionism ( c . 1885 - 1900 ) and its pioneering representatives like tom roberts ( 1856 - 1931 ) , frederick mccubbin ( 1855 - 1917 ) , arthur streeton ( 1867 - 1943 ) and charles conder ( 1868 - 1909 ) .

of 1998 , my cousin and her husband asked me to design a renovation for their dilapidated edwardian house in the melbourne suburb of northcote . the james street house was all the impetus rachel and i needed to start our own practice . with what now seems feckless and irresponsible abandon we resigned from our respective jobs and went to officeworks to buy a fax machine . it was all very well thought out and high - tech .

on reflection , it was a great time to start a practice because we didn’t have any significant financial commitments and , more importantly , our youth ensured that we had an abundance of enthusiasm and not enough experience to be deterred by a rational and considered appraisal of the risks and pitfalls ahead .

colours and finishes based on 1970s residential architecture were a particular focus of the design .

for us , james street was a near - perfect first project . it combined a trusting client who shared our sensibilities , a scope of works extensive enough to give us an opportunity to explore some architectural ideas , and a corner site that allowed us to make a building with a street presence .

the detailed design of the house , including particular care given to colours and finishes , was developed through a revision of 1970s residential architecture , particularly the houses of merchant builders . this is an ongoing interest – both in the particularities of courtyard house plans and the highly textured surfaces , which we feel create a sense of domestic refinement .

the key architectural move was to readdress the house to the side street , bringing in a new entry to the middle of the house and separating public and private zones . this enabled us to reclaim the front garden as a private space , taking back a part of the site that previously was difficult to use , and giving privacy to the bedroom zone . the design provided two bedrooms and a study / nursery , as well as a dining room that could convert to a bedroom with the insertion of a bank of cabinets . the clients , who had no children when work commenced on the project , now have three – and they have converted the dining room to a bedroom as planned .

this house is composed of related indoor and outdoor zones that give an impressive sense of space .

by approaching the site as a whole rather than considering the house and garden separately , we were able to create a series of indoor and outdoor areas that relate to one another and give an impressive sense of space . despite this , the family has outgrown the accommodation . against my advice , the owners have decided to embark on another renovation . it is flattering that they love their house so much they want to remain in it , but the new rooms ( a small sewing room and an additional study / bedroom on the north boundary ) arguably erode the rationality of the plan . on the other hand , these changes , also designed by our office , do address one of the problems in the original design – the lack of northern orientation .

it is interesting to reflect on what has changed in our practice since 1999 – most significantly , a serious engagement with environmentally sustainable design . when we developed the original plan , we felt that we were taking passive solar principles into account . however , it was also a time when we privileged the aesthetic qualities of western light and were not overly troubled by the lack of northern orientation in the principle living room . happily , the recent changes address this .

ultimately rachel and i remain extremely proud of james street , and we can reflect on it as an encapsulation of many of the ideas that have been developed and extended in our practice .

there are so many gratifying aspects to the project , not least that it won a victorian chapter royal australian institute of architects award for alterations and additions in 2000 , a welcome endorsement from our profession .

rising up the steep escarpment of the entry pathway , i am surrounded by the most gorgeous , soft , lazy australian vegetation . all blue and green and smelling good . my brain is meandering back to the grampians , and i have to stop and secure my footing to get a first look at the building the presence of which i have constantly felt standing sentinel at the top of this challenging and delightful site . there it is ; an expanse of white canvas for all of those eucalyptus trees to paint their shadows on in an ever - changing exhibition of australian art . mark kader’s landscape design reveals his horticulturalist tendencies – he clearly loves native vegetation , and in the laver garden , with a clear vision for this blank canvas , he has nimbly negotiated the steepness of the site to paint it with vigour .

the impossibly vertical ascension to the house comes to a grinding halt in the considerably compressed horizontal space of the entry porch . suddenly i have arrived in the house , and my pent - up gaze floods out in multiple directions across the horizontal plane , always with as strong a connection to the landscape as the architecture . i absorb the living space and am already out in the rear courtyard enjoying the open fireplace before i have even passed the entry threshold . that’s what this house does so well . it entices you up – concealing everything during the eternal entry promenade , and then revealing everything in a single moment . you want to stay because you feel protected and connected in equal measure .

the melbourne studio responded by designing a house that draws on arts and crafts architecture – a style that overlapped with the edwardian era – through its combination of crafted materials and decorative forms .

other details used to create this aesthetic include white - painted brickwork , a patterned semi - transparent wall and a swimming pool lined with vibrant blue tiles .

" in finding a workable model , we looked to the arts and crafts movement and its proto - modernist philosophies , " they continued .

" many of our architectural interests aligned with the ideas and aesthetics of the movement : expressive function , picturesque planning , and the exposition of the crafts of building . "

the house replaces another building that the clients had lived in previously , before briefly moving away . they found that their last home couldn ' t cope with their large family – seven members in total .

the new building deals with this by separating different areas . the family ' s main living and dining spaces are located in a pavilion - like structure towards the front of the site , while bedrooms and quieter lounge areas are housed in a two - storey block behind .

the living room block features the pyramid - shaped roof , which is clad externally with ceramic tiles and lined internally with cedar . sliding glass doors allow the building to open out to both the swimming pool and a barbecue terrace , with the overhang of the roof creating a sheltered patio .

the barbecue itself is integrated into a sculptural chimney stack , featuring handmade edwardian - inspired chimney flues , matching the one located above the fireplace in the main house .

by contrast , the two - storey building at the rear of the site features a more contemporary mono - pitched roof . apart from the master suite , all the bedrooms are located on the upper floor , leaving the ground free for other activities .

the facade of this block is divided up by different materials . deep - set windows reveal the depth of the brickwork , while horizontal concrete stripes indicate floor slabs and vertical lengths of cedar frame built - in wardrobes .

" substantial , textural , durable , low maintenance materials and surfaces – all selected for their ability to age in place – will ensure that the house improves with age , that it celebrates patina and that the materials reach their aesthetic potential through wear and time , " said the architects .

past projects include a house extension with a circular hole for children to climb through and a courtyard house built with recycled bricks , concrete and rough - sawn timber .

studio manager - a permanent part - time position ; potential to extend to full - time position in the future . - administration experience in an architecture or design practice is favourable but not essential . - human resource experience is favourable but not essential . - interest in working in a creative and cohesive environment .

and it is this sense of discerning ability that shines throughout the project . responsive to its context with a strong relationship to the surrounding landscape , the architects show how the careful design and layout of spaces can support and reinforce human relationships evident from the house’s floor plan and the role it plays in supporting family life whilst also bestowing individual privacy on the occupants who inhabit it .

as well as its structure and peaceful atmosphere , st kilda west house also has a strong environmental focus . solar panels and a cross ventilation system have been created in strategically placed outdoor spaces ( notably the two courtyards and the swimming pool ) ; whereas the use of thermally efficient building materials and onsite water storage , render the house energy efficient , another key part of the project brief .

situated in a beautiful natural location , the house has a strikingly peaceful ambiance aided by the light interiors that are punctuated by views of the surroundings through occasional glass walls and windows . with its views of the swimming pool and plant life in the courtyards , its residents are brought even closer to the great outdoors .

reeves recently sat down with yahoo movies to promote war for the planet of the apes where he continued to draw parallels between caesar and bruce wayne as well as discuss telling an " emotional batman story . " the director says this .

" it ' s my hope to tell a very emotional batman story , and i see a very strong parallel between ( batman and caesar ) because they ' re both damaged characters who are grappling to do the right thing in a very imperfect world . a world that ' s filled with all of the corruption that is human . "

. you can use metaphors of the genre to talk about ( a lot ) . "

the batman has gone through numerous production challenges over the last few years , but it may finally be back on track under the helm of matt reeves . the director has done an amazing job on the planet of the apes series so far , praised for his unique vision , so hopefully reeves brings that unique point of view to the batman . war for the planet of the apes hits theaters in a few weeks and has already been gaining rave reviews from critics and fans and production of the batman is reportedly ready to start soon afterwards .

the project is predicted on two aims : 1 . making the whole site and the whole building available to its user . 2 . creating contrasts so that living in this house can accommodate different experience of seasons , times of day and function . the approach was to re - orient the house to a logical frontage , and reclaim the large front garded with a high fence . the front garden now has a role normally assumed by the rear garden , allowing the possiblity of colonising the whole

of the rear of the site with pavilions , courts and decks . it is now possible to be in every part of the block , and see it from boundary to boundary . the house is formally zoned . the private zone is made up of rooms which are dark , cool and quiet containing bedrooms , study , bathrooms and a grown - ups sitting room . the ' public ' zone is fragmented , light - filled and blurs inside and outside , this contains the kitchen , it is where visitors come and children play .

on a site accommodating a non - descript factory the clients’ brief was for a best fit multiple residential building with realisable commercial value . the existing factory building remains as a memory of the light industrial history of this corner site in fitzroy . the new building clearly expresses a change of use for its site and represents the evolution of an inner city suburb . the new form that grows from this ground floor masonry plinth is lightweight yet muscular in its form , blank in daylight becoming delicate and transparent in the night .

the three dwellings are contained within a collection of forms which are enigmatic . this building challenges the viewer to look up and decipher the meaning and inner workings behind the silent , sober forms . there is a trajectory of the building from day into night . blank and inscrutable by day , at night it transforms into a series of lanterns equally mysterious but also public spirited in their illumination .

this project is part of a series of buildings from this practice which attempt to re - interpret brutalism in architecture , seeking to capture the strength and drama of brutalist form and emphasise the texture and luxury of blank surfaces , the possibilities of hand - crafted modernism .

designed for a family of seven occupants , deepdene house replaces the client’s previous home , which couldn’t cope with the demands of such a large family . sloping down towards the street , deepdene is split programmatically into two sub - houses . towards the front of the block , the pavilion like structure contains the main living and dining spaces , whilst sleeping quarters are housed in the two - storey block behind . a slender glass corridor connects the two structures . with a family of seven , that’s probably a pretty smart move .

keeping the neighbours happy and maybe making them a little envious too , the front house exhibits to the street a hot - to - trot ceramic shingle roof which is broken by a couple of edwardian chimney flue details and their monolithic white stacks . one of the chimneys serves as an outdoor fireplace , taking the humble barbecue to a whole new level .

moving beyond an impressive vertically oriented hit and miss brick wall lays a swimming pool that is tiled in a rich aquatic blue , providing a vibrant offset to the open plan living arrangement within . surrounding the pool are a few edwardian arches , an elegant timber solution for a pool barrier and a simple but pretty outdoor shower .

by contrast , the two - storey second house is a modern timber , concrete and brick structure that plays the simple roll of being a backdrop for the front house . with a sequence of lush landscaping elements filling the space between , the house offers a truly simple yet sophisticated way of living for that family of seven .

located in melbourne’s inner city suburbia , deepdene kicks some pretty mean modern - architecture ass by demonstrating how the design process can be beautifully and delicately driven by context . because of its epic architectural design , deepdene house won the australian institute of architecture ( aia ) award in 2016 in the category for residential architecture .

all irish life is here : workers , addicts , preachers , buskers , tourists , revellers , friends and lovers . a weekend on ireland’s main street starts off gently

patrick freyne spends 24 hours on o ' connell street , dublin . video : darragh bambrick & bryan o ' brien

i walk down o’connell street in dublin every day . with its lovely width , trees and monuments , it should be a destination , but most people are passing through , as i am . shoppers , clubbers , tourists and commuters generally go there on their way to somewhere else .

there are different worlds on o’connell street . groups of foreign workers socialise in the casinos dotted between the disused buildings on the northwest side of the street . well - heeled people visit the gresham hotel across the road . there’s an unofficial drugs market on the stretch between north earl street and lower abbey street . homeless , addicted and heartbroken people congregate there during the day and disappear at night . across the road religious people of different denominations evangelise , philosophise and debate at the gpo .

these groups interact only occasionally and seem invisible to each other . at night , between the hours the pubs close and the nightclubs end , it’s a surprisingly lonely , quiet place . there are some hopeless people on o’connell street , but there are also a lot of kind people there : the flower - seller i met who buys food for young homeless people every morning , the mcdonald’s security man who checks if passersby are okay at night , the old woman who recited a poem for me . as the newspaper seller austin cregan says , “all human life is here . ”

well , all human life is funny and strange and dignified and debased and moving . . . and , after 24 hours , overwhelming . like o’connell street .

5 . 50am “i had a man in the back of the cart last week , ” says phil o’brien , a street cleaner with dublin city council . on the stretch of o’connell street between north earl street and lower abbey street , he explains , drug dealers hide drugs in the bins , and the man was rooting through the rubbish looking for his drugs .

i didn’t want to delve straight into o’connell street’s drug problem in this article , but the street cleaners at the depot are eager to talk about it . o’brien has had drug addicts asking him for used needles . all the cleaners are terrified of having their fingers pricked by syringes .

third world military expenditure : determinants and implications ( history and politics in the 20th century : bloomsbury academic ) robert d . mckinlay : bloomsbury academic

" the main media bias is in favor of the thieves who stole our country and economy , and own the mainstream media companies . the omnipresent mainstream media is the greatest weapon of oppression humanity has ever known . "

and its seemingly paradoxical theme so well that ijm and the book reaped the incredible number of 6 . 3 billion gross media impressions around the world in 2014 . for that heroic effort , and the equally epic results , ijm wins the best global media relations category of pr daily’s 2014 media relations awards .

tvsb , santa barbara’s non - profit community - access television organization , has “announced… six recipients of the [ ir ] 2015 media access awards . the awards celebrate local independent media and producers for building community dialogue and increasing diversity in our local media . ”

if information is no longer to be treated as a " commodity " and become instead a " service " at the disposal of all humankind , and if a new world order in the field of information is to be established , the third world countries must consolidate their information media and the western highly developed technological countries must assist .

the media access impact award is presented to a program or producer working to have a positive impact on the santa barbara community through media . ‘third world news review’ is receiving this award in recognition of their long - term impact . this program series has provided an analysis of issues about or affecting 3rd world countries from their own perspective rather than from that of u . s . national interest on local public access for 30 years .

" the corporate grip on opinion in the united states is one of the wonders of the western world . no first world country has ever managed to eliminate so entirely from its media all objectivity - much less dissent . "

everyone knows information is a form of power . the third world countries now know this more than ever . that is why they are calling for the establishment of a new international order of information . they feel this is just as urgent as the establishment of a new international economic order .

during a special ceremony at the third world conference on disaster risk reduction , the documentary rebuilding sichuan received the inaugural award , besting competition that included films on topics that ranged from floods in pakistan and great britain to the devastating earthquake and tsunami that struck the communities in japan ' s northeast region in 2011 .

okuyamba is a lugandan word meaning “to help . ” mandell says he chose to title the documentary in a local language “because the idea of the film is for the subjects to be able to speak , for us to experience their world , as opposed to so many american films we see about suffering in third world countries where the english narrator tells us how to feel about ‘them , ’ the silent victims . ”

on thursday , august 20th , at 5 : 30pm , tvsb is hosting a “media access awards celebration” at the montecito events center . click here for tickets and more info .

these award recipients include the producers of “third world news review , ” the long - running public - affairs program which has aired both on cable - access tv and on kcsb - fm for some time now ( on monday nights for a live tv audience , with a tuesday night delayed broadcast on kcsb - fm’s airwaves ) . the program is currently on hiatus during the summer months .

on the economic front , a new feudalism is emerging . as work is made contingent and part - time , employee benefits are cut , operations are moved offshore , unemployment increases , well - paying manufacturing jobs become minimum - wage service jobs , family debt grows , inequality increases and opportunities disappear , the united states is beginning to look more like a mal - developed country in the global south , than an economic giant , while american workers , once the envy of the world , struggle to compete with workers in the third world .

inside the u . s . , what americans know about the rest of the world is disproportionate to the influence they wield . a misguided rule of thumb for foreign correspondents covering the news of the world is : " all anyone cares about is coups and earthquakes . "

" the world order doesn ' t allow for any frontal attack aimed at destroying narco - trafficking because that business , which moves $ 400 billion annually , is far too important for the leading nations of world power to eliminate . the us punishes those countries which don ' t do enough to fight against drugs , whereas their cia boys have built paradises of corruption throughout the world with the drug profits . "

outside the united states , everyone knows the u . s . is the most influential country in the world . its economics , education , politics , technology , science , and culture , just to name a few areas , color the world ' s every socio - economic fabric .

" the media are a pitiful lot . they don ' t give us any history , they don ' t give us any analysis , they don ' t tell us anything . they don ' t raise the most basic questions : who has the most weapons of mass destruction in the world by far ? who has used weapons of mass destruction more than any other nation ? who has killed more people in this world with weapons of mass destruction than any other nation ? the answer : the united states . "

" americans are too broadly underinformed to digest nuggets of information that seem to contradict what they know of the world . instead , news channels prefer to feed americans a constant stream of simplified information , all of which fits what they already know . that way they don ' t have to devote more air time or newsprint space to explanations or further investigations . . . politicians and the media have conspired to infantilize , to dumb down , the american public . at heart , politicians don ' t believe that americans can handle complex truths , and the news media , especially television news , basically agrees . "

" we are grateful to the washington post , the new york times , time magazine , and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years . it would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years . but the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government . the supra - national sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto - determination practiced in past centuries . "

american media , particularly , are highly influential . " the popular press , feature films , hit parades , and commercial tv were all invented in the usa , then imported , and copied , by all other nations , " writes jeremy tunstall . just a handful of anglo - american news and news film agencies select the images for the world ' s perception of international political information .

" we are on the verge of global transformation . all we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the new world order . "

american communicators have a serious obligation to make the american public more aware of the rest of the world and the influence we have on it . americans will never understand the negative criticism that comes more and more from around the world unless they begin to see how life is really lived on the other side of the fence .

every person will have to fend for himself or herself , and for their loved ones , in a more chaotic , less fair , less democratic , more authoritarian world .

executive producer richelle figueroa said : “these awards should set the agenda and highlight the importance of disaster risk reduction for vulnerable countries around the world such as the philippines . ”

" the major news media serve at the pleasure of a commercial oligarchy that pays them , and pays them handsomely , for their pretense of speaking truth to power . . . the prominent figures in our contemporary washington press corps regard themselves as government functionaries , enabling and codependent . "

" we are going to have a war on terror which you can never win , and so you can always keep taking people ' s liberties away . the media is going to convince everybody that the war on terror is real . the ultimate goal is to get everybody in the world chipped with an rfid chip , and have all money be on the chips , and if anyone wants to protest what we do , we turn off the chip . "

" every ten years or so , the united states needs to pick up some crappy little country and throw it against the wall , just to show the world we mean business . "

" the result of neo - colonialism is that foreign capital is used for the exploitation rather than for the development of the less developed parts of the world . investment , under neo - colonialism , increases , rather than decreases , the gap between the rich and the poor countries of the world . the struggle against neo - colonialism is not aimed at excluding the capital of the developed world from operating in less developed countries . it is aimed at preventing the financial power of the developed countries being used in such a way as to impoverish the less developed . "

" today americans would be outraged if un troops entered los angeles to restore order ; tomorrow they will be grateful . this is especially true if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond , whether real or promulgated , that threatened our very existence . it is then that all peoples of the world will plead with world leaders to deliver them from this evil . the one thing every man fears is the unknown . when presented with this scenario , individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well being granted to them by their world government . "

" if you wanted a national monopoly , you must control a national socialist government . if you want a worldwide monopoly , you must control a world socialist government . that is what the game is all about . " communism " is not a movement of the downtrodden masses but is a movement created , manipulated and used by power - seeking billionaires in order to gain control over the world , first by establishing socialist governments in the various nations and then consolidating them all through a " great merger , " into an all - powerful world , socialist super - state .

" some believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the united states , characterizing my family and me as " internationalists " and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world , if you will . if that ' s the charge , i stand guilty , and i am proud of it . "

" every time weaker nations have attempted to reallocate their resources and undertake land reform to feed starving populations , powerful interests emanating from the rich world and its multilateral bodies have thwarted their efforts . "

" the drug " industry " is run as a single integrated world operation , from the opium poppy to the nickel bag of heroin sold on an inner - city street corner . not only is illegal drug traffic under the control of a single world network , but opiates traffic in particular is without doubt the best - controlled production and distribution system of any commodity in international trade , illegal or legal . "

" for the world as a whole , the cia has now become the bogey that communism has been for america . wherever there is trouble , violence , suffering , tragedy , the rest of us are now quick to suspect the cia had a hand in it . our phobia about the cia is , no doubt , as fantastically excessive as america ' s phobia about world communism ; but in this case , too , there is just enough convincing guidance to make the phobia genuine . in fact , the roles of america and russia have been reversed in the world ' s eyes . today america has become the nightmare . "

u . s . power was at its peak following world war ii . america ruled the globe economically and militarily . it ' s influence was ubiquitous and its soft power seemingly unlimited . but , arrogance and greed have turned the united states into a pariah . we are feared for our power , but no longer respected for our institutions . inequality , injustice , corruption , and our projection of violence , have turned much of the world against us .

“i’m interested in people , ” he says , “and the notre dame experience is about people as much as it is about anything else . athletes are actually people , not robots or warriors , as our media loves to portray them . and at notre dame , they’re also students . they have families . they have friends . they have personalities . they have lives . ”

" the corporate - dominated economy and the transnational corporate state had consolidated its power over almost every aspect of public and private life , and under a formal globalization movement the transnational corporations were extending their tentacles all over the planet . footsoldiers like margaret thatcher , ronald reagan , the ever - dutiful bush family , helmut kohl , and a list of japanese leaders had diligently kept the faith . working with the timeworn international monetary fund ( imf ) , the world bank and ultimately with the new engine of globalization , the world trade organization , they ensured that the interests of capital were nowhere endangered by the needs of the world ' s three billion poor to eat , have shelter , clothing , sanitation , medical care , and education . "

" this world is not run by presidents or prime ministers , it is run by the global corporations and the banks . for it is these entities that control the money supply and it is these entities that decide which country lives or falls . "

" most americans have no idea that what we are fed by the news media is nothing more than a portrayal of what powerful corporations want us to believe , that what happens to pass as education is as often as not mere propaganda , that what we learn in church may have very little or nothing to do with the truth , that what our parents teach us may be nothing more than an accumulation of their own personal biases , no doubt a rather subtle modification of what they were taught by their parents . and through such a process , governments and nations around the world wield control as to what their citizens , believe , value , and do . "

there are probably less than the estimated figure of 430 full - time correspondents for u . s . news organizations abroad serving the u . s . , far fewer in any case than the 2 , 500 who were at work at the end of world war ii .

" as news organizations are increasingly driven by a bottom - line mentality , the news we get becomes more and more sensational . what is the difference between time and newsweek ? between abc , nbc , and cbs news ? between the washington post and the new york times ? for all practical purposes , none . the concentration of media power means that americans increasingly get their information from a few sources who decide what is " news . "

" the master planners devised the strategy of a merger - a great merger - among nations . but before such a merger can be consummated , and the united states becomes just another province in a new world order , there must at least be the semblance of parity among the senior partners in the deal . how does one make the nations of the world more nearly equal ? the insiders determined that a two - prong approach was needed ; use american money and know - how to build up your competitors , while at the same time use every devious strategy you can devise to weaken and impoverish this country . the goal is not to bankrupt the united states . rather , it is to reduce our productive might , and therefore our standard of living , to the meager subsistence level of the socialized nations of the world . the plan is not to bring the standard of living in less developed countries up to our level , but to bring ours down to meet theirs coming up . . . it is your standard of living which must be sacrificed on the altar of the new world order . "

" when and if fascism finally takes hold in america , the basic forms of government will remain . . . fascism will appear to be friendly . the legislators will be in session . there will be elections , and the news media will continue to cover the entertainment and political trivia . consent of the governed , however , will no longer apply . actual control will have finally passed to the oligarchic elite controlling the government behind the scenes . "

world animal protection was a partner in the film . director of disaster management james sawyer picked up the award . “the people and animals of the philippines showed great resilience to come back after the disaster . it shows that resilience really is a state of mind , ” he said .

whatever the subject , mandell says his mantra is “show me , don’t tell me . ” to create impact , his films feature observations of behavior that enable viewers to experience what it’s like to be at auditions for the notre dame leprechaun , with the groundskeeper at notre dame stadium as he lines the fields , or with the u . s . air force crew coordinating a game day flyover—a film that garnered mandell an honorable mention at the 2012 college sports media awards .

how to bring adequate policing to daily victims of horrible crimes ? ijm and haugen clearly believe that nationals on the scene must protect the law - abiding and bring malefactors to justice themselves . ninety - five percent of ijm’s 600 staffers in the developing world are citizens of the nations they serve .

" americans are wonderfully courteous to strangers , yet indiscriminately shoot kids in schools . they believe they are masters of the world , yet know nothing about what goes on outside their shores . they are people who believe the world stretches from california to boston and everything outside is the bit they have to bomb to keep the price of oil down . only one in five americans hold a passport and the only foreign stories that make their news are floods , famine , and wars , because it makes them feel good to be an american . feeling good to be american is what they live for . "

" what is masquerading as government is a crime syndicate with a flag . the us government is an instrument of organized crime , alternatively described as the octopus , the washington consensus , the shadow government , wall street , the round table ( bilderbergs , trilaterals , council on foreign relations , royal institute of international affairs ) , and the new world order . "

" most newspapers are part of huge conglomerates , and the policy that comes down is that you don ' t rock any boats . you can ' t make the government upset because the value of the company is the broadcast licenses , and the government will not renew them , and we can ' t make our corporate owners mad because they will fire us , and we can ' t make the advertisers mad or they will pull their advertising . so the media can ' t say anything that will upset the power structure . and that ' s what has happened to the press . "

the newly developed independent countries , once believing they had emerged from colonialization , realize their development remains in jeopardy . without a substantial change in the world system of disseminating information , their demands for a new economic order will go unheeded . worse , in my opinion , their cultures will erode and become homogenized into the drab oneness of holiday inns , mcdonalds , and levis .

" since the anticommunism hysteria in the years following the second world war , a bipartisan consensus has existed on foreign policy . meaningful political discourse has been almost absent about foreign policy issues . so many foreign policy decisions have been placed beyond public scrutiny , that almost all of what passes as official information about foreign policy is manufactured by government agencies for its propaganda effect . "

" africa is extremely rich in many resources , from agriculture to oil , minerals , and a huge variety of other resources used all around the world . if african nations were able to develop their own economies , use their own resources , and create their own industries and businesses , they could become self - sufficient at first , and then may become a force of great competition for the established industries and elites around the world . after all , europe does not have much to offer in terms of resources , as the continent ' s wealth has largely come from plundering the resources of regions like africa , and in becoming captains of monetary manipulation . a revitalized , vibrant , economically independent and successful africa could spell the end of western financial dominance . "

" even open - minded people will often find themselves unable to take seriously the likes of noam chomsky , edward herman , howard zinn and susan george on first encountering their work ; it just does not seem possible that we could be so mistaken in what we believe . the individual may assume that these writers must be somehow joking , wildly over - stating the case , paranoid , or have some sort of axe to grind . we may actually become angry with them for telling us these terrible things about our society and insist that this simply ' can ' t be true ' . it takes real effort to keep reading , to resist the reassuring messages of the mass media and be prepared to consider the evidence again . "

" since the bush - cheney administration took office in january 2001 , controlling the major oil and natural gas fields of the world had been the primary , though undeclared , priority of us foreign policy . . . not only the invasion of iraq , but also the toppling of the taliban in afghanistan , had nothing to do with ' democracy , ' and everything to do with pipeline control across central asia and the militarization of the middle east . "

" the bilderberg group is an organization of political leaders and international financiers that meets secretly every spring to make global policy . there are about 110 regulars - rockefellers , rothschilds , bankers , heads of international corporations and high government officials from europe and north america . each year , a few new people are invited and , if found useful , they return to future meetings . if not , they are discarded . decisions reached at these secret meetings affect every american and much of the world . "

" some of the character traits exhibited by serial killers or criminals may be observed in many within the political arena . they share the traits of psychopaths who are not sensitive to altruistic appeals , such as sympathy for their victims or remorse or guilt over their crimes . they possess the personality traits of lying , narcissism , selfishness , and vanity . these are the people to whom we have entrusted our fate . is it any wonder that america is failing at home and world - wide ? "

" we are ruled , though it may be difficult to imagine , by a small dynastic power structure , largely consisting of powerful banking families , such as the rothschilds , rockefellers , and others . they emerged in controlling the financial system , extended their influence over the political system , the educational system , and , through the major foundations , have become the dominant social powers of our world , creating think tanks and other institutions which shape and change the course of society and modern human history . "

" they have pillaged the world . when the land has nothing left for men who ravage everything , they scour the sea . if an enemy is rich , they are greedy ; if he is poor , they crave glory . neither east nor west can sate their appetite . they are the only people on earth to covet wealth and poverty with equal craving . they plunder , they butcher , they ravish , and call it by the lying name of ' empire ' . they make a desert and call it ' peace ' . "

" so important did military spending and the military - industrial sector become during world war ii and the cold war that they have become fundamental to the u . s . economy , u . s . economic growth and above all u . s . technological development . despite its often almost incredible wastefulness and corruption , this military spending has also been in some ways a kind of unacknowledged but rather successful state industrial development strategy in a country whose free market ideology meant that it could not formally adopt or admit to such a strategy . "

" during the past two centuries when the peoples of the world were gradually winning their political freedom from the dynastic monarchies , the major banking families of europe and america were actually reversing the trend by setting up new dynasties of political control through the formation of international financial combines . these banking dynasties had learned that all governments must have sources of revenue from which to borrow in times of emergency . they had also learned that by providing such funds from their own private resources , they could make both kings and democratic leaders tremendously subservient to their will . "

" after world war ii , in the name of containing communism , the united states , mostly through the actions of local allies , executed or encouraged coups in , among other places , guatemala , brazil , chile , uruguay , argentina and patronized a brutal mercenary war in nicaragua . . . by the end of the cold war , latin american security forces trained , funded , equipped , and incited by washington had executed a reign of bloody terror - hundreds of thousands killed , an equal number tortured , millions driven into exile - from which the region has yet to fully recover . "

" the greatest myth concerning american foreign policies is the deeply - held belief that no matter what the united states does abroad , no matter how bad it may look , no matter what horror may result , the american government means well . american leaders may make mistakes , they may blunder , they may even on the odd occasion cause more harm than good , but they do mean well . their intentions are always honorable . of that americans are certain . they genuinely wonder why the rest of the world can ' t see how kind and generous and self - sacrificing america has been . "

" american policymakers , setting themselves up as guardians of the world system , are more inclined than ever to simply disregard international laws and conventions if they get in the way of unrivaled military supremacy . every instance of u . s . armed intervention during the 1980s and 1990s represents a flagrant violation of regional treaties and laws , not to mention the un charter itself , which explicitly prohibits military attacks against sovereign nations - for example , grenada , nicaragua , haiti , panama , serbia , and iraq . in any event , the u . s . has consistently shown its contempt for international bodies , agreements , and procedures that might conflict with its hegemonic aspirations . "

" money laundering , according to imf estimates for the 1990s , was between 590 billion and 1 . 5 trillion dollars a year . the proceeds of the drug trade are deposited in the banking system . drug money is laundered in the numerous offshore banking havens in switzerland , luxembourg , the british channel islands , the cayman islands and some 50 other locations around the globe . it is here that criminal syndicates involved in the drug trade and the representatives of the world ' s largest commercial banks interact . dirty money is deposited in these offshore havens , which are controlled by major western banks and financial institutions which have a vested interest in maintaining and sustaining the drug trade . "

" ceos of most of the world ' s largest corporations daily make decisions that destroy the lives of many other human beings . only about 1 to 3 percent of us are sociopaths - people who don ' t have normal human feelings and can easily go to sleep at night after having done horrific things . and of that 1 percent of sociopaths , there ' s probably only a fraction of a percent with a college education . and of that tiny fraction , there ' s an even tinier fraction that understands how business works , particularly within any specific industry . thus there is such a shortage of people who can run modern monopolistic , destructive corporations that stockholders have to pay millions to get them to work . and being sociopaths , they gladly take the money without any thought to its social consequences . "

" why should they ask me to put on a uniform and go 10 , 000 miles from home and drop bombs and bullets on brown people in vietnam while so - called negro people in louisville are treated like dogs and denied simple human rights ? no i ' m not going 10 , 000 miles from home to help murder and burn another poor nation simply to continue the domination of white slave masters of the darker people the world over . this is the day when such evils must come to an end . i have been warned that to take such a stand would cost me millions of dollars . but i have said it once and i will say it again . the real enemy of my people is here . i will not disgrace my religion , my people or myself by becoming a tool to enslave those who are fighting for their own justice , freedom and equality . if i thought the war was going to bring freedom and equality to 22 million of my people they wouldn ' t have to draft me , i ' d join tomorrow . i have nothing to lose by standing up for my beliefs . so i ' ll go to jail , so what ? we ' ve been in jail for 400 years . "

" there is no such thing , at this date of the world ' s history , in america , as an independent press . you know it and i know it . there is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions , and if you did , you know beforehand that it would never appear in print . i am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinion out of the paper i am connected with . others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things , and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job . if i allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper , before twenty - four hours my occupation would be gone . the business of the journalists is to destroy the truth , to lie outright , to pervert , to vilify , to fawn at the feet of mammon , and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread . you know it and i know it , and what folly is this toasting an independent press ? we are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes . we are the jumping jacks , they pull the strings and we dance . our talents , our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men . we are intellectual prostitutes .

but most americans get their foreign news from television , which is the least effective in communicating in depth news and knowledge because of its sparseness and distortions .

if numbers mean anything , even newspapers and journals are not doing the job of making americans aware that they have much to learn about other countries , particularly the newly developed ones . many average - sized newspapers publish less than 1 , 000 words a day of foreign news , discarding most of the 100 , 000 furnished by the news agencies and syndicates .

" believe nothing , no matter where you read it , or who said it , unless your own reason and your own common sense agree . "

" why , of course , the people don ' t want war . why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece ? naturally , the common people don ' t want war ; neither in russia nor in england nor in america , nor for that matter in germany . that is understood . but , after all , it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along , whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a parliament or a communist dictatorship . . . . voice or no voice , the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders . that is easy . all you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked , and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger . it works the same way in any country . "

" to oppose the policies of a government does not mean you are against the country or the people that the government supposedly represents . such opposition should be called what it really is : democracy , or democratic dissent , or having a critical perspective about what your leaders are doing . either we have the right to democratic dissent and criticism of these policies or we all lie down and let the leader , the fuhrer , do what is best , while we follow uncritically , and obey whatever he commands . that ' s just what the germans did with hitler , and look where it got them . "

" the further a society drifts from the truth , the more it will hate those that speak it . "

" the men the american people admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars ; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth . "

" we americans are the ultimate innocents . we are forever desperate to believe that this time the government is telling us the truth . "

" if you think any american official is going to tell you the truth , then you ' re stupid . "

" during times of universal deceit , telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act . "

" ever since the days of henry ford , the economic elite have needed a thriving us middle class to increase growth and profits , but now , in the global economy , they view the us middle class as obsolete . they increasingly look globally for profits and they would rather pay cheap labor in countries like china and india . "

" the general public are viewed as no more than ignorant and meddlesome outsiders , a bewildered herd . and it ' s the responsible men who have to make decisions and to protect society from the trampling and rage of the bewildered herd . now since it ' s a democracy they - the herd , that is - are permitted occasionally to lend their weight to one or another member of the responsible class . that ' s called an election . "

" people , governments and economies of all nations must serve the needs of multinational banks and corporations . "

" powerful private families decide who controls the federal reserve , the bank of england , the bank of japan and even the european central bank . money is in their hands to destroy or create . their aim is the ultimate control over future life on this planet , a supremacy earlier dictators and despots only ever dreamt of . "

" the easiest way to gain control of a population is to carry out acts of terror . the public will clamor for such laws if their personal security is threatened . "

" the question is not how to get good people to rule ; the question is how to stop the powerful from doing as much damage as they can to us . "

" governments don ' t want well - informed , well - educated people capable of critical thinking , that is against their interests . they want obedient workers , people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork , and just dumb enough to passively accept it . "

" war means blind obedience , unthinking stupidity , brutish callousness , wanton destruction , and irresponsible murder . "

" in america , we grew up thinking that the people that we see on the nightly news are journalists . but , there is no journalism happening there , only script reading . that is understood by anyone with a sliver of common sense , and the objectivity to realize that their newsperson is basically an actor .
