Re: Lannan Foundation Censorship of The War You Don’t See documentary: Root Cause Problem Solving: Scientific Journalism Campaign:

I read about the e-mail you received from Barbara Ventrello (the Lannon foundation's Cultural Freedom Special Projects director) saying that Patrick Lannan had called from California to instruct them to cancel your events.

I don’t know why your documentary is being censored by Mr. Lannan. I was curious whether your documentary negligently or consciously avoided including two fundamental root cause issues in the promotion of war (in which the media play a primary role); but which your documentary did not address at all.

In 2010 the Radical Honesty culture in South Africa, an offshoot of the Radical Honesty culture founded by Dr. Brad Blanton, former Green Independent candidate for US congress in 2004 and 2006, filed a ‘direct access’ writ of Habeus Mentem application to the SA Constitutional Court (Radical Honesty SA v. 88 SANEF Media Publications and their Editors (CCT 06-11)) which addresses both these censored issues ignored by your War You Don’t See media censorship documentary. The direct application to the SA Constitutional Court was dismissed within less than 8 hours by the entire bench of the Constitutional Court as being ‘not in the interests of justice’. It argued on behalf of a Scientific Journalism Campaign; establishing a Scientific Journalism Media Publication rating system, which could be monitored by anonymous Media Inspectors, similar to Restaurant and Hotel Inspectors.

“To issue an advisory ruling, with expert witness input from Wikileaks and/or OpenLeaks ‘scientific journalism’ experts, in support of a clear classification system of ‘media corporations’; similar to Hotel Star Ratings and Smoking Label warnings. For example: (a) Three Star Media Corporations practice unbiased and politically incorrect scientific journalism; (b) Two Star media corporations practice left or right ideological propaganda when it contradicts scientific journalism truths, and withhold from their readers access to the original documents they are reporting their bias upon; (c) One Star gutter yellow smear propaganda journalism, which has no interest whatsoever in scientific truthful reporting, only profiting from spreading gossip and malice. All media corporations are required to publish their ‘scientific journalism’ hierarchical star status, in a designated space on their front page, clarifying their Star Status, and what that start status means regarding the scientific journalism or not quality of factual information being sold to the reader.”

Respectfully,

Radical Honesty SA
