The Corrupt MPAA Cartel Rating Our Movies | Joseph (Jake) Klein
You know the Moving Picture Association of America rating system – the “G,” “PG,” “PG-13,” “R,” and “NC-17” classifications marketed to you as your guide to know what you should show your kids. But before you take those ratings too seriously, you should understand the censorious history and corrupt business incentives that led to them.
Netflix and Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman brought the crimes of the nation’s most prominent union leader, Jimmy Hoffa, back to public consciousness in a way they haven’t been since Hoffa’s disappearance in 1975. Much like at the end of the film, today’s generation has forgotten about Hoffa and the institutionalized corruption he represented. But while Hoffa is dead, labor union corruption lives on.

The Capital Research Center was established in 1984 to examine how foundations, charities, and other nonprofits spend money and get involved in politics and advocacy, often in ways that donors never intended and would find abhorrent. From the start, CRC has exposed how those organizations are “captured” by interest groups and used to undermine Americans’ freedoms. Today, we study unions, environmentalist groups, and a wide variety of nonprofit and activist organizations. We also keep an eye on crony capitalists who seek to profit by taking advantage of government regulations and by getting their hands on taxpayers’ money. We’re not afraid to take on the Washington Establishment—Republican, Democrat, or anyone else. CRC reports take the form of articles on this website, newspaper and magazine articles, and books. We’re also a source of information for commentators and people in the news media. We do have a specific point of view. We believe in free markets, Constitutional government, and individual liberty. But facts are facts, and our journalists and researchers go where the facts lead therm. CRC is tax-exempt and fiercely independent. We perform no contract work and we accept no government funds—not one cent. We depend on voluntary contributions, to fund our important work. We are the Capital Research Center, “America’s Investigative Think Tank.”

The Architects of Woke series takes aim at far-left post-modernist and Marxist thinkers and activists responsible for the spread of identity politics from college campuses to society at large.
The sixth episode, “The 1619 Project's Fake History”, covers the New York Times Magazine's 1619 Project. Directed by Nikole Hannah-Jones, the project attempts to reframe our understanding of American history by alleging the central event in the founding of the United States was the first importation of enslaved Africans to Virginia in 1619 and not the Declaration of Independence in 1776. The project has been notably criticized by esteemed historians for its factual errors. Despite this, schools across the nation have embedded the 1619 Project into their curriculums, perhaps endangering our nation's understanding of its founding for generations to come...
