911 film, Scholastic tie in, ABC, Bush Speech during miniseries
Edited on Fri Sep-08-06 07:56 PM by Windy
further evidence of the proliferation of Fascism in this country. Is anyone else here a bit terrified by these events? I find it extremely disturbing. Lets distort the facts of one of the worst tragedies to hit this country... through overt propaganda on a major television network, turn it into the fault of those who allegedly "support the terrorists" and then indoctronate the children of the country to feel the same way! Oh and throw in a speech from our "grand leader" in the middle of all of it!

Frightening!!!

1. Citing "grand leader' in this context has some rather fascist overtones.
Not that I'm objecting. For a privately owned network that sure is an awfully convenient nexus of propaganda.

3. Don't forget they are offering it for free on IPod.
Yes. It is scary. I also remember a few years ago when there were comparisons of Bush and company to Hitler--and they loudly cried foul--demanding that the comparisons stop. And of course we did stop--despite the fact that there was validity in the comparison. And now I know why they wanted so badly for the rhetoric to stop: they had planned to ratchet up the language and did not want it over-used before their time-line.

We have entered a new phase of their plan. They are attempting to brainwash our kids, fill every media forum with propaganda and they need to minimize the impact of the Hitler and Nazi comparisons, so they are projecting (their common method of attack). It is getting worse.

4. It absolutely is.... that is the most disturbing thing about this "movie"
I hope it gets pulled.... I just read that Dean is calling for a probe into who is funding it. He should. This is an expensive production that is airing commercial free....and free downloads on I tunes...

5. The Bush speech comes in the middle of part 2 of the docufictionary.
Right about where the worst fabrications take place, according to CNN.
A little bit of a ratings conflict there....

6. I won't be watching either
Both the "Docu-drama" (cough) and Bush are fictional.
