VERY INTERESTING British animation about PNAC and Corp fascism
I just watched it and the style and script of this animation are very awesome.

it's a big one, but it's worth the wait.

1. It was a really good animation, thank you for posting
I cheer anything that points out what fascists the PNACers are.

It's worth your valuable time.

5. Documentary about PNAC
"Hijacking Catastrophe: 9/11, Fear & the Selling of American Empire" 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.

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

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.

DVD or VHS for $19.95

2. Wonderful animation
Why wont Americans listen to outside observers, who like a good friend confronting their drug-addicted friend says, "Look, you have a problem."?

3. this is very chilling - I think its accurate.
And all too true. We are on the verge of becoming something like the Roman Empire, if this has not in fact already happened.

Welcome to the new Amerikan century.

4. Thanx !!! That's great. . . .
. . .Passed it on to a few close friends. Loved the dark tone of the graphics. Reminds me of Soviet poster art of the 30's.
