Synopsis:
"...while a nation goes speculation crazy the people neglect to think of fundamental principles."

These were the words of Franklin Roosevelt in the months leading into the Democratic National Convention of 1932.

Prachanda's Real Face ()

Synopsis:
नायक प्रचण्ड रातारात खलनायक : -

कहाँबाट आयो भिडियो ?
८० मिनेट लामो यो भिडियो कसरी कुन स्रोतबाट प्राप्त गर्‍यो, प्रसारण गर्ने इमेज च्यानलले बताएको छैन। तर, प्राप्त जानकारी अनुसार भिडियो अर्को एउटा टेलिभिजन च्यानललाई उपलब्ध गराइएको थियो- एभिन्युज टेलिभिजन। एभिन्युजले सुरुमा यसलाई प्रसारण गरेन। तर इमेज च्यानलले सोमबार यसको प्रसारण गरेपछि मंगलबार ८० मिनेट कै भिडियो यसले पनि प्रसारण गर्‍यो। एभिन्युज टेलिभिजनलाई राजावादी टेलिभिजनको आरोप लाग्ने गर्छ। इमेज च्यानल शाही शासन कालमा अरु एफएमलाई समाचार प्रसारण गर्न पनि प्रतिबन्ध लगाइएको बेला देशभर एफएम च्यानलको रिले प्रसारण गर्न अनुमति पाएको संस्था हो। सुरुमा काठमाडौँ उपत्यकामा मात्र प्रसारण गर्ने अनुमति पाएको इमेज च्यानलले एउटा टेलिभिजनले लिएको लाइसेन्स अर्कोमा प्रयोग गर्न नपाइने नियमविपरीत सांग्रिला च्यानलको लाइसेन्समार्फत् स्याटेलाइट च्यानलका रुपमा प्रसारण गर्ने अनुमति शाही शासनकालमा नै पाएको थियो। मंगलबारदेखि अन्य टेलिभिजन र देशका विभिन्न भागमा रहेका एफएमहरुबाट पनि प्रचण्डको भाषणको अंश बज्न थालेको छ।

The poster boy of Nepal's Maoists, Prachanda has been caught lying on camera. The drama dates back to January last year when Prachanda was addressing fellow Maoists in Chitwan outside Kathmandu. There he admitted telling the United Nations that Maoist fighters numbered 35,000 when the actual figure was far less.

"We were around 7,000 fighters in the cantonment but we increased the number to become more strong," Prachanda is heard saying in the video.

Eventually, the United Nations fixed 20,000 as the total number of Maoist fighters, itself a grossly exagerrated figure and a financial settlement of around 6 lakh was made on that basis. The Maoists walked away - a rare case of ideology and profit going hand in hand.

The video records Prachanda admitting his goal of getting Maoist cadres into the army with the aim of taking it over. The Maoists remain committed to a peoples revolution in Nepal and they would never allow an election which they could lose.

The Maoists are also undercutting the Nepali Congress, backing for veteran communist leader Madhav Nepal as prime minister. They boycotted an all-party meeting called on Tuesday to form a new government by the weekend and threatened to disrupt Parliament if the issue goes to vote.

It's not clear yet whether they have been asked to unleash any violence because these cadre have proved they are capable of doing that and of holding a city and a country to ransom.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court is also hearing a PIL on the manner in which President Ram Baran Yadav stayed the sacking of Army Chief General Katawal. Maoists are okay with that but the mood may change if the verdict goes against them.

Der Untertan (1951)

Synopsis:
Diederich Heßling is scared of everything and everyone. But as he grows up, he comes to realize that he has to offer his services to the powers-that-be if he wants to wield power himself. His life motto now runs: bow to those at the top and tread on those below. In this way, he always succeeds: as a student in a duel-fighting student fraternity and as a businessman in a paper factory. He cajoles the obese district administrative president Von Wulkow and wins his favor. He slanders his financial rivals and hatches a plot with the social democrats in the town council. On his honeymoon with his rich wife Guste, he finally finds a chance to do his beloved Kaiser a favor. And when a memorial to the Kaiser is unveiled in the town where Diederich lives and works, he delivers the address. He stands behind the lectern in the pouring rain, saluting his Kaiser. The crowd is dispersed. Everything is laid in ruins.

Lemon Tree (2008)

Synopsis:
Up-and-coming Eran Riklis mediation on the situation with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict shifts away from these politicized images in the media and focuses not on abstract claims to land and security but, as more recent films have done so, on the ordinary people and the more prosaic and everyday issues resulting from these tensions: A middle-aged Palestinian widow named Salma Zidane, has the misfortune of not merely living in the volatile "Green Zone" -- a kind of no man's land sandwiched in between Israel and the Palestinian-occupied West Bank -- but being situated merely a few hundred yards away from the home of the Israeli defense minister and his wife. Under advisement from the Israeli secret service, the defense minister begins to perceive Salma's lemon grove as a direct threat to the safety of the nation, with its ability to function as a hiding spot for terrorists. Not long after, a court order surfaces, forcing Salma to accept government compensation for the destruction of the grove. She passionately refuses -- explaining that the plot of land and the trees have existed in her family for generations -- and hires a young attorney to take the case all the way to the Israeli Supreme Court if necessary.
