Raymond Brown and Williams Arntz first released the independent movie "Ghetto Physics" in late 2010, they knew the film was an early battle cry, a wake up call to America and beyond. Distributed by Intention Media, owned by "What the BLEEP, Do We Know?" filmmaker Betsy Chasse, the cutting edge hybrid documentary explored the dynamics of the 'powers that be' in laymen terms that the 'man on the street' could easily relate to.

Inflation, foreclosure, unemployment, healthcare issues, pollution, crime, recession and depression: one percent was benefiting - pimping; and somebody, the other 99 percent, were being played.

Today, the DVD release of "Ghetto Physics," accompanied by the manual, "GhettoPhysics: Redefining the Game" finds itself in the middle of an OCCUPY movement which could have been a scene in the original film!

The film features personalities that include Princeton professor Cornel West; rapper/actor Ice T; economist, author John Perkins; Emmy Award-winning television producer and social activist Norman Lear; former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney; and best-selling author Byron Katie. A colorful contingent of 'real life' pimps also flavor the cast including street legends Fillmore Slim, Hook da Crook, Mac Breed and Lo Da Show.

"Ghetto Physics" a term which merges street science with the dynamics of metaphysics, deconstructs the nature, structure and "politricks" of power as they are played out in every corner of our society, and in every society around the world. According to Arntz, the brain behind box office success "What the BLEEP Do We Know," "We see these power dynamics expressed in government, in business, in the military ... in our families ... everywhere. It's a nonpartisan political film that exposes the root of all of the world's dysfunctions - an imbalance in the dynamics of power."

Expresses Brown, a genuine product of the hip hop generation, who incorporates elements of shamanism, quantum theory, and archetypal psychology into his approach, "The evolving Occupy Movement is an eloquent expression of what I have been identifying for years now. The people running the show (a.k.a. the Pimps) and the people putting up with it (a.k.a. the Ho's) have been doing a lousy job taking care of the planet, the environment and each other. It's time to say 'Game Over' and time to start a new one. It is not about right and wrong, good guys vs. bad guys. It is about awareness of 'the game' and letting people know it's up to them to choose the role they play in every situation. 'Ghetto Physics' exposes the powers that be and refuses to let those in control rule our lives anymore."

"Ghetto Physics" is available for purchase now on DVD at Amazon.com and wherever movies are sold online. The book "GhettoPhysics: Redefining the Game," also available via Kindle on Amazon.com, is a resource rife with insight, methodology and a call to action for survival and success as a 99 percenter in society.

Participants at the various OCCUPY centers around the country are also eligible for a free DVD per a special campaign at www.GhettoPhysics.com. The film is available for online screening at GhettoPhysics.com and via download on iTunes and Amazon.com at a later date.

"To date, this is the most powerful piece Stewart has done and he believes that this is one of those projects that is and will always be bigger than him," says Sean Alfonso, president/CEO of Sesene Entertainment.

While attending the Electric Daisy Convention in Las Vegas, Stewart was inspired to create a song that he believed could be an Instant Anthem - "I have a Dream."

And, he just may be onto something. Stewart has received multiple calls and messages from DJs and producers around the globe about this song; they are requesting a release date and download information.

"Stewart is a diamond in the rough; he is an authentic turntablist and is the most skilled scratch and party-rocking DJ that I have seen in years. I can't wait to witness what he is going to do next," says Alfonso.

"I Have a Dream" does serious musical justice to Martin Luther King's infamous speech of August 1963. The mix is ideal for dance clubs - it's house music at its best.

About Jimmy Stewart Jr.:
Stewart is a Club 997 resident DJ, a radio station in San Francisco (997 NOW) - home to the Bay Area's top hits, pop culture news, hot new music and celebrity gossip. He is one of the Bay Area's top DJs and is now making international waves as a producer.

He has done more than 30 remixes which have been played internationally and now he has written and produced an original song/record.

Taking notes from some of the world's superstar DJs, Stewart believes that this "breakout" track is a great way to get the ball rolling and start moving to that next level.

Dunbar LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Oct. 19 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- "Conspired Redemption - A True Story of Winning in the Game of Life" (ISBN: 978-1453868249), authored by Keith V. Dunbar, is a story that reveals severe drug laws while offering up hope for the future. His engaging testimony encourages youth and adults to change their thinking in an effort to change their condition.

In this new book, Dunbar warns audiences about the serious drug conspiracy laws that are leading to mass incarcerations. And, he speaks from experience because he was charged with conspiracy to distribute and possession with intent to distribute cocaine base. During his 10-year stint in Federal prison, he reflected on the act and prepared for his release and future defense.

"Conspired Redemption" is Dunbar's defense. The book, divided into four parts, takes the reader on one man's personal journey - a journey that has ultimately led him to reach out to others to ensure that they do not make the same mistakes that he did.

It takes the reader through different mindsets and outlines the behaviors and conspiracies leading to his imprisonment. It discusses his time in prison where he learned how to play chess. He played in the prison yard and was soon beating everyone.

"Other prisoners could not believe that some country boy from Arkansas was taking everyone down," says Dunbar. "This encouraged me to continue to play during and after prison."

Dunbar played in tournaments and quickly grasped the many positive concepts that chess represented. He saw value in its ability to build analytical skills and to strengthen memory.

As a result, "Conspired Redemption" is freckled with chess analogies in an effort to communicate how closely life and chess are related.

The book makes an effort to reach out to at-risk kids, kids attending alternative schools, men in prison and parents.

"It all starts at home," he says. "Your future is tied to your education."

Conspired Redemption is 276 pages and sells for $15.95. It is available in paperback at ConspiredRedemption.com and Amazon.com.

About the Author:
Today, Keith V. Dunbar has been out of prison for more than three years. He lives with his wife in Arkansas and has turned his life around. He is an entrepreneur, investor and consultant to youth and community organizations. He's a business major in college with a near perfect GPA and is the president of the Urban Knights Chess Club where he teaches at-risk kids how to play the game. He regularly speaks to African American males about drug conspiracy laws and how to avoid criminal behavior, and ultimately prison.

When asked if he felt that as a black man, it is taboo to speak against the first black President, RainMan replied, "Usually outside of the confines of the 'black wall' most blacks will remain mute in the company of non-blacks, regardless of the first black President's detrimental actions -- but I am an iconoclast with a bohemian twist who is not pusillanimous to be a Black Maverick for my country, and my Patriotic heart must speak out. And now is the time."

Although the entire book is written somewhat malcontentedly, the more controversial chapters include, "No Black Leaders to Admire," where RainMan condemns "the black elitists for conspiring with an avowed racist white woman named Margaret Sanger to commit a heinous attack upon their own race, by encouraging blacks to abort their babies through eugenics."

In "Michelle His Belle the Racist Woman Behind the Muppet," RainMan unearths the "unadulterated bigotry and race baiting techniques of 'The First Lady,'" and her role as a Chicago Medical Center Community Relations VP. "Scary."

In "Black Nationalist/Black Liberation Theology," RainMan expounds on "this subjugating doctrine which exploits the black community and keeps them shackled mentally, emotionally, and financially."

In "The Democratic Party is Not the Party for Blacks," RainMan takes the reader into the not so distant past, where he utilizes documented proof of the "Democratic Party's reluctance to permit blacks the opportunity to obtain Civil Rights, and the Republican Party's conviction to make Congress abolish Slavery."

RainMan is not afraid to walk the lonely road of Black Conservatism. He does not mince his words, and he provides solid proof to back up his premises.

You will NOT be able to put this book down. "Get it before Obama burns it!"
