The People United Will Never Be Defeated

931 "OCCUPY" PROTESTS SPREAD ACROSS PLANET

Songstress Otep Shamaya belts out a loving tribute to Sarah Palin and G.W. Bush in "Rise Rebel Resist"

First rule of successful demonstrations -- keep them peaceful, even if police want violence. The Occupy Wall Street movement spreads worldwide as tens of thousands march in Europe.

"The Atomic Cafe" offers a darkly humorous glimpse at mid-century America, an era (unlike our own) full with paranoia, anxiety, and apprehension. Whimsical yet razor-sharp, this classic illuminates the often comic paradoxes of US life in the "Atomic Age" we created while also exhibiting a genuine nostalgia for an earlier and more innocent nation.

Pornography, Homemade
Lisa Ling lives it up in "Our America" -- the new season delves into some of the most challenging, thought-provoking issues in society today. With stories ranging from amateur porn to polygamy, to sex trafficking and PTSD, Ling immerses herself into the lives of everyday Americans. Season premiere is Sunday, Oct. 16, 10:00 pm PST/9:00 pm Central, on OWN.

LA Rising: Rage Against the Muse (video)

Wisdom Quarterly

(Life in a Day) On July 24, 2010, thousands of people around the world uploaded videos of their lives to YouTube to take part in "Life in a Day," a historic cinematic experiment to create a documentary film about a single day on Earth. Now, it's time to watch their story unfold on the big screen. It wowed audiences at the Sundance, Berlin, and SXSW film festivals, a. And during its YouTube world premiere.

Superstars Muse battle hometown heroes Rage Against the Machine and Lauryn Hill enchants as Buddhist freaks meet at the Coliseum while Buddhist geeks calmly discuss the Dharma at the nearby University of the West.

Best of the X-Games: The 17th annual alternative sports junket flies through town with spectacular spills, chills, and prodigious thrills. (One kid challenges his idol for supremacy as another competitor breaks his foot during practice and someone pulls off a triple flip while spraying himself with Axe).

It's easy to stay informed about what may really be going on in a world of compelling distractions and mainstream media disinformation campaigns.

Forget "Cowboys & Aliens," the better movie on alien invasions is the British "Attack the Block" from the producers of SHAUN OF THE DEAD and SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD. This fast, funny, frightening action adventure movie pits a teen UK gang against an invasion of savage alien monsters -- and turns a London housing estate into a sci-fi playground, a tower block into a fortress under siege, and teenage street kids into heroes. It's inner city versus outer space.

Everything but thinking will be going on at the continuing OC Fair in neighboring Orange County, in spite of last year's ice sculpture "The Thinker."

"L.A. Rising" (music rebellion)

(LARising/Facebook) RATM.com

People are fed up. So the powers that be, in their corporate boardroom wisdom, have found a solution: Pumping fists at a massive and pricey concert in the middle of the summer, when the jungle fever drives the urban youth berserk. Not to be too cynical, this is an amazing line up: Rage Against the Machine reuniting, Muse landing their starship on stage, Lauryn Hill belting out enchanted blues-rap, and Rise Against playing their one hit -- who could ask for more? The only thing that's missing is making it free or affordable. (Tickets are $82.50-$113.25 to sit in the stands). It would be nice if System of a Down were on the bill. What will Chicago's Lollapalooza (featuring Muse, Eminem, Deadmau5, My Morning Jacket, the Foo Fighters, and some band called Coldplay) think about the competition? Or the L.A. leg of the annual pop-punk romp Warped Tour? Or the Southern California desert Bhakti Fest?
