1. My local cable access shows it every night. It's a fantastic film.

The last five minutes or so give me an incredible surge of optimism and patriotism every time I see it. GREAT movie.

2. I hope you have more luck keeping this kicked than I ever have!

:hi:

I also hope they aren't breaking in with "pledge breaks". I was sooooooo disappointed yesterday when they did that to "Affluenza".

Grrrr....

I'd really like to see this one, so I'm hoping for the best...

10. Just watched it

Powerfull and sickening.

Republicans/Neocons/PNAC have been a disaster of unparallered magnitude, but how can this be so?

Is it perhaps so, that your belowed GOP:ers DO KNOW somewhere beneath the slime, just what exactly are your interests in ME. They just gladly put a blind eye on ethics since they perceive it is beneficial to them. Filth.

Anyway, kick for the movie. You All should watch it.

11. Hi Martti!!!

Welcome to DU!!

:toast:

One can't help but wonder just what *IS* the level of understanding, right?

I do hope that you will find threads of interest here on DU, and post often. We value our European friends!

12. Greetings, Kanary

And thank you.

Tell you the truth I have been lurking "here" for a few months now. Extremely addictive place you have here.

I have never before showed any interest towards politics, but now I cant wait to know who gets elected on the other side of the globe... go figure...

I just cant help but to think how much would unfortunate result in your election impact my life here as well.

And the sheer thought, that a modern democratic nation could degenerate itself to a dictatorship sets me in a pessimistic mood.

Please do your best, we count on you to.

13. At the risk of sounding like some damnable Pollyanna, ^_^

this is the UPSIDE to having the grand misfortune of electing such a clown as our leader -- we now are meeting people from around the globe, such as yourself, we would likely not have met, at least on this level.

So much damage has been done in four short years by said clown that many more people are finally taking an active interest in politics, and I think are beginning to understand that this is not just a passing fancy...... that the health of the whole world depends on us paying very close attention as a life-long habit now. This includes people such as yourself from other countries who are now keenly aware of just what damage one idiot can do to the whole planet.

It's very sad that it takes something like this to wake us all up, eh?

I'm curious........ how did you happen to find this site?

I think we can all share in your pessimistic mood, and do our darnest to work together with everyone in the world to learn something from this, and pledge to be better world citizens!

Glad to meet you, and looking forward to seeing more from you!

19. Humm,

I recall I was googleing info about *, and accidentally stumbled here. Very soon after this I spotted myself reading here 1-4h daily, to the dismay of my wife, I might ad.

Here in Finland the anti-US sentiments have been running high, and popular belief is, that most of you are.. well... freepers.

You Ladies and Gents here at DU have certainly proved that wrong :)
(Btw, What is wrong with the people at FR? I'm having real difficulties in believing, that so many people could actually be So Wrong about things in general and why the ridiculous hatred?)

Oh well, just week ago a Finnish Centrist party which is a our version of the republicans publicly announced, that they prefer Kerry to win (well, 80+% of us do anyway).

When is the next debate btw?

5am here, so ZZzzzZz for me,

Take care,

Martti

P.S. A german band called Rammstein just released a new music video called "Amerika", and its available at least as torrent. Earlier on it caused quite a ranting at FR. Heavy Rock with -not so subtle- message. Recommend.

16. thanks for the encouragement

I've been working at getting friends and all more educated - you can't take anyone for granted. I'm hopeful about influencing some people with the help of this documentary.

I had seen Hijacking Catastrophe when a peace group showed it at the library and I thought it was great. I'm looking forward to seeing it again and we are taping it, also, to send around.

Welcome to DU!

14. Record it - pass it around - and for those of you without Link TV

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

DVD or VHS for $19.95

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.

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.

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.

20. Well, poop and foof...... just checked into LinkTV

and they are doing their pledge breaks.....

DADRATIT!!

I was afraid of that.......

sigh.......

Kanary, who thinks that if Oprah can afford to give away a whole stable of new cars, she can toss in enough $$$ to LinkTV so that they can run this movie WITHOUT BReAKS!!

21. Oh well - it's still worth it - eom
