为了惑敌, 英美军史中有不少根本不存在的幽灵部队,规模最大的是1944年在英格兰东南部的多佛尔虚设的一个由巴顿中将任司令的“美军第1集团军司令部”。 二战时美国幽灵部队把希特勒耍的团团转,而他一定想不到,部队的大部份成员都是精心挑选的艺术家。 战争靠的不仅仅是实力,还有智力。第二次世界大战期间,盟军就使用各种战争策略来混淆视听,误导或恐吓德国军队,比如降落假的伞兵、伪造军官William Martin的死亡、掩盖一个军用飞机厂等等。最近曝光的是被称为〝幽灵部队〞(Ghost Army)的计策。 〝幽灵部队〞被官方称为〝美军第23司令部直属特战团〞,一个拥有1100人的部队。他们的任务就是负责迷惑纳粹。该部队的成员并不是普通的士兵,而是从纽约和费城艺术学院精心挑选出来的艺术家、插画家和音效师。他们利用充气坦克和扬声器等作为〝武器〞对付敌军。 他们总共发起了20多次行动,拯救了上万士兵的生命,但是他们的英雄壮举没什么人知道。因为〝幽灵部队〞的存在和行动一直被高度保密,直到1996年有关文件被解密,他们才为世人所知。部队中有人负责创建虚假的交通网路,有的打扮成士兵,出没在当地的咖啡馆,向间谍散播一些假故事,还有的扮演成军官,开着吉普车从一个小镇至另一个小镇。有的时候,部队还会开着几辆卡车营造出步兵被运送的错觉。通常情况下,他们可以制造出2万到4万人的推进场景。为了创造出一个庞大的军队,部队会使用充气的坦克、卡车、大炮和飞机,并通过巨型扬声器播放预先录制好的装甲和步兵的声音,而这声音在15英里(约24公里)开外的地方都能听到。 他们最壮观的行动之一是在战争即将结束的时候。1945年3月,当第九军准备横渡莱茵河进入德国时,〝幽灵部队〞在不同的地方试图吸引德军部队的注意。他们设立了超过600个充气坦克和大炮,晚上播放坦克前进的声音,而白天则使用大型工程建造的声音。他们成功骗过了德国军队,让真正的部队在没什么威胁的情况下成功登陆德国。 战争结束后,部队里的许多人都继续他们的艺术生涯,其中有的还出了名,比如著名时装设计师Bill Blass、画家Ellsworth Kelly和摄影师Art Kane。现在1100名成员依然健在的只剩下不到50人。
Donald Trump became the 45th President of the United States by winning three key states, a victory engineered by an ultra-conservative faction that quietly mapped its way to power using fake news, lies and psychometrics. This explosive documentary follows the money to the reclusive multi-billionaire Robert Mercer who bought Breitbart News and funded the effort, while inserting Steve Bannon into the presidential campaign as its manager. Using data of millions of Americans acquired from Facebook, Google, banks, credit companies, social security and more, another Mercer company, Cambridge Analytica, used tactics honed during the UK's Brexit campaign to identify voters deemed "most neurotic or worried," whom they believed could swing for Trump. In the days before the election, using a little-known Facebook feature, "dark posts", they deployed highly manipulative and personalized messages, that could be seen only by the user before disappearing. In the darkness of the web, democracy was ...
Less than 55 years ago, Dubai International Airport was a vast desert of sand. But today, it is a modern mecca of international air travel. With 344,000 flights, 57 million passengers and 2 million tons of cargo flying in and out each year, it is the world’s third busiest airport for international passengers. National Geographic Channel go behind-the-scenes of Dubai International’s three massive terminals, including Terminal 3 – the largest building on earth by floor space, measuring 359 football pitches in size! With unprecedented access to all facets of this mega facility, the series follows some of the 60,000 staff working hard to keep it safe, secure, and on schedule. From Air Traffic Control handling emergency landings, customs intercepting suspected drug smugglers and engineers taking apart multi-million dollar jets to dealing with late flights and angry passengers, cargo headaches and even the construction of brand new USD$3.2 billion dollar terminal, NGC provides a 360-degree view of this “ultimate airport.”

This remarkable compilation follows an exchange of video letters, which took place between Shuji Terayama and Shuntaro Tanikawa in the months immediately preceding Terayama's death. You can think of it as a home video produced by two preeminent poets and interlayed with highly abstract philosophizing, slightly aberrant behavior and occasionally flamboyant visuals.
