In 1934, a young German director name Leni Reifenstahl
produced a movie called the "Triumph of the Will". This movie was a Nazi propaganda piece depicting their rally in Nuremburg. It was an anti-semitic movie that blamed the state of affairs on the Jewish population and portrayed Hitler in a fantastic light as the savior of the German people.

In 2006 ABC is about to release a movie that will blame the state of affairs in the USA on Bill Clinton and his administration. This movie will also portray George Bush in a more sympathetic light and will explain his decision to become the "savior" of the USA.

This is nothing but a pack of lies!!! When the American people watch it, they will be influenced in their opinions of Bush and Clinton both. This must NOT be allowed to happen.

President Bush is a WAR CRIMINAL who has assaulted the peace-loving people of Islam so that he can line his pockets with oil money and maintain his power base.

He has manipulated the media just like he stole the elections and will continue to do whatever he must to remain in power indefinitely. The American people believe the truth is what they see on TV or in the "news". They will see Bush as the savior of our country just as the Germans regarded Hitler.

We cannot allow a new Reich to arise in America with Bush at the helm.
The takeover has started and the lies on ABC are just one more step!!!

2. Leni Reifenstahl was a talented filmmaker which made her work
all the more dangerous.

From what I've read about "The Path to 9/11" it's been put together by hacks.

But then what isn't second rate when it comes to the Bush Crime Family?

They are using the same playbook.

3. In a course in how media are used as political propaganda, and there
are several out there, I think your inclusion of both the ABC/Disney PATH TO 9/11 and Reifenstahl's TRIUMP OF THE WILL is appropriate.

An agenda is forged and an avenue is chosen for message delivery.

ABC/Disney is taking a lot of heat now for this production/marketing decision, and rightly so. They deserve the heat, the criticism, the hailstorm of objection, the boycotted products and services, and the letter they just received from Mssrs. Band and Lindsey, who are attorneys for President Bill Clinton.

Let's kick a little ass.

4. the Olympic`s film was the standard that all others have followed
Edited on Sat Sep-09-06 02:15 PM by madrchsod
her film "triumph of the will" was and still is the best propaganda film ever made. abc and the people behind the abc film are not close to Leni`s talent.
like her or hate her, it can not be denied that she was a founder of modern film and photo staging

5. In 1915, a young director named D. W. Griffith
Edited on Sat Sep-09-06 02:26 PM by TahitiNut


Messages from the "factual" book upon which this was based ...
  • Segregation is 'good'
  • Lynchings are a fun time for young and old
  • The Klan is heroic


:puke: :puke: :puke:

This is what we got when 'Hollywood' was conservative and 'patriotic'.

9. I actually have a framed autograph of Griffith sitting 2 feet away from...
my computer. I own it not because he was a racist propagandist (which he was), but because he was a brilliant and instrumental filmmaker.

8. Isn't there an equal time law for political parties on TV? IF abc
airs this piece of junk shouldn't we have equal time free from the network?
