"Hijacking Catastrophe" tells the story of PNAC

[IkeWarnedUs]

This movie, "Hijacking Catastrophe: 9/11, Fear & the Selling of American Empire," picks up where Fahrenheit 911 left off.

It starts with background on some of the key players, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, etc. Then it talks about the evolution of the neo-con agenda of global domination through unilateral force from the "Wolfowitz Doctrine" that was dismissed in the early 90's through the Project for the New American Century today.

That's right! Finally! A movie that takes a sane, in depth look at PNAC!

They show the quotes from the September 2000 report, "Rebuilding America's Defenses; Strategy, Forces and Resources For a New Century", including the one about needing a "new Pearl Harbor" to speed things up.

Then they go on to show how this administration has used 9/11 to push their agenda, starting with the Patriot Act, Afghanistan and Iraq.

They talk about how "Shock and Awe" was directed at the world and not just the Iraqi army. Look at how powerful we are. Be afraid, be very afraid.

They talk about how this dream of empire is bankrupting our country. About how despite acting macho, the architects of this plan have no actual war experience.

They close by talking about what we can expect if the neo-cons are not stopped. It encourages fighting terror and fear with public debate and truth.

The DVD has two versions - the full movie which runs about an hour and an abridged version that runs about a half hour. It also includes extended 30 minute interviews and an examination of the Economics of Empire.

"Hijacking Catastrophe" is from The Media Education Foundation (www.mediaed.org ) and includes interviews with Lt. Colonel Karen Kwiatkowski, Scott Ritter, Daniel Elsberg, Norman Mailer, Noam Chomsky, Medea Benjamin and more as well as clips of news coverage of events.

It is in some theaters (list at the website) but not many and not for very long.

Buy the DVD or VHS - watch it - pass it around.

This is the movie we have been waiting for!

Don't take my word for it. The movie website has substantial film clips. Check it out for yourself.

DVD or VHS for $19.95

1. A must see!

This is a shocking documentary that needs to be seen by everybody, many democrats have no idea what PNAC is or how much propaganda is being used to influence the human psyche.

I have shown this to people who knew about these issues but were shocked after watching it. It is well worth the money and is presented in a way that makes it easy to understand.

Edited for spelling - oops!

3. Add this one to your collection.

"Propaganda and Control of the Human Mind" by Noam Chomsky is another great documentary that can be downloaded from this link. It explains how we ended up in the the situation we currently face with RW think-tanks and the death of the free press.

There are other documentaries on this site, as well.

7. Another good movie from Media Education Foundation

"Constructing Public Opinion: How Politicians and the Media Misrepresent the Public"

It is a very interesting and enlightening documentary about how public opinion polls are used by the media and politicians to construct public opinion. It also exposes the myth that Americans are either liberal or conservative and how the media plays on that myth.

The link in my opening post is to the website for the movie Hijacking Catastrophe, which is from the same organization (Media Education Foundation). You can get either movie at their website, http://www.mediaed.org/
