Homeland Security: The NBC Movie

[Kathy in Cambridge]

is airing next Sunday. It looks like it will be a propaganda piece that will absolve the Bush administration of their culpability. I think they are releasing it to mitigate the damage done by Richard Clarke and the 9/11 Commission.

The NBC movie will be seen by the majority of couch potato Americans, while the 9-11 hearings won't. I think this movie could keep the general public believing that Bush was a 9-11 hero.

Has anyone seen the promos for this propaganda film? What do you think the repercussions will be?

2. I think Scott "Stone Face" Glenn plays one of the pilots

Actually, it's a re-broadcast of a movie that aired last year:

3. geez, I missed it - guess I wasn't as keen a propaganda fan as I thought

the best yet was "DC 9/11: Time of Crisis" - classic garbage.

4. Just another example of "Brainwashing America."

Brainwashing America
by Dr. Norman Livergood.

The puppet Bush regime is using new, aggressive forms of brainwashing to change the very way Americans think and feel. This is the psychological dimension of the "High Cabal's" general onslaught against American workers, just as the "war on terrorism" is the military dimension and corporate crime and tax cuts for the rich comprise the economic dimension.

We are living under the beginning stages of a military dictatorship in precisely the same way that 1930s Germans suffered under the Nazi regime. As in the case of Nazi Germany, state-sponsored propaganda (brainwashing) is a vital part of the Bush regime's strategy.

While serving as Head of the Artificial Intelligence Department at the U.S. Army War College, 1993-1995, I conducted studies on profiling, psychological programming, and brainwashing. I explored and developed personality simulation systems, an advanced technology used in military war games, FBI profiling, political campaigning, and advertising. Part of my discovery was that:


unenlightened human minds are combinations of infantile beliefs and emotional patterns

these patterns can be simulated in profiling systems

these profiling systems can be used to program and control people

Personality simulation systems are being used to create political campaigns that apply voter profiles to control their voting behavior. TV commercials and programs use personality simulation to profile viewers to control their purchasing and viewing behaviors. And sophisticated propaganda and brainwashing techniques are being used by the Bush junta to keep American citizens under control.

I may watch it

It's my birthday--I turn 19 then and I could use a good laugh. I figure it'll be just a propagandist piece of dreck.
