The Elephant in the Room
Edited on Fri Aug-15-08 09:56 PM by seemslikeadream
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1PalVqU5vY


Brand New Exclusive excerpt from the film featuring Cynthia McKinney a former US congresswoman for the State of Georgia and the current Green Party presidential candidate. She has consistently asked the question 'What did the Bush administration know and when did it know it?" regarding the tragic events of September 11th 2001



The Elephant in the Room is a documentary following British filmmaker Dean Puckett through his journey into the 9/11 Truth Movement: a global movement of 'conspiracy theorists' who believe that the official explanation about what happened on 9/11 is totally or partially inaccurate. The filmmakers travel from middle England, across Europe and to New York for the six year anniversary of the attacks, where the film takes one final twist as we are introduced to the 9/11 first responders who are suffering from various grave health difficulties due to the toxic dust that they breathed in trying to help their country during the weeks after this tragic event. Told with a personal hands on approach that avoids advancing any one position, the film asks the question: are these crazy conspiracy theorists? Or is 9/11 Truth a credible political movement?

2. The Truth is out there. People know bush knocked down the towers.
Its a shame most haven't woken up to the propaganda machines role in all of this.
They will and are.
Cynthia's a real Hero and I wish her luck with the Green Party.
Thanks Slad

I wish to walk my spiritual pathway, and share that walk with others who feel the same.

I am a Spiritualist.
I am a Lightworker.
I am aware of Spirit.
I believe in Angels....because i've seen one!


I embrace ALL faiths, beliefs & religions!! In my opinion, there is no right, and there is no wrong. there just "is."

" The ancient tree has many leaves, but all are fed by the same root."


Sometimes, walking a spiritual path is not easy.
I often feel like a drunk man, falling into the thorn bushes by the side of the road, cursing, getting up again, taking 3 steps backwards and 1 step forward, falling into the thorns again, shaking my fist at the heavens, getting up, brushing myself down and THEN...looking back down the path and seeing just how far i have come...I LOVE IT :0))

I know that Spirit are around us always and Angels really do exist. I hope that someday, in this life, everyone can experience this truth.

So....i'm not your stereotypical Truck driver :0)

Love & Light to ALL.

I believe the sun should never set upon an argument
I believe we place our happiness in other people's hands
I believe that junk food tastes so good because it's bad for you
I believe your parents did the best job they knew how to do
I believe that beauty magazines promote low self esteem
I believe I'm loved when I'm completely by myself alone

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality
I believe that trust is more important than monogamy
I believe your most attractive features are your heart and soul
I believe that family is worth more than money or gold

I believe the struggle for financial freedom is unfair
I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I believe forgiveness is the key to your unhappiness
I believe that wedded bliss negates the need to be undressed
I believe that God does not endorse TV evangelists
I believe in love surviving death into eternity

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

... but I'll be happy to explain it to you and Hope: The title of the video is silly, since imaginary elephants in the room aren't all that hard to ignore.

13. Interesting teaser
When McKinney said that congress received their "talking points" about 9/11, does this mean that the White House dictated this to them?

Our government is sounding more and more like a dictatorship.

Anyway, looking forward to the movie. The ad said that it will be available to view and buy on 9/1. I am hoping this means that one can watch it for free on the internet.


Thanks, SLaD.
