Bush to give 9/11 speech WITHIN Mockudrama airing -- no pre-empting
from http://americablog.blogspot.com/

Bush will give another one of his speeches on 9/11 -- during ABC's fictional account
9/08/2006 12:01:00 PM

How convenient. http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=topNews&storyID=2006-09-08T131631Z_01_WBT005934_RTRUKOC_0_US-BUSH-SPEECH.xml&src=090806_1105_TOPSTORY_sept._11_media_war

ABC won't even have to pre-empt programming -- they can just work Bush's speech in to "The Path to 9/11" -- anything he says will be fiction, too::

The Oval Office address, estimated to last 16 to 18 minutes, will culminate a series of addresses Bush has delivered to insist that five years after the catastrophic hijacked plane attacks that killed almost 3,000 people, America is safer but still faces a threat from al Qaeda.

While Snow insisted the speech does not have a political aim, Bush has been attempting to frame the election-year debate on national security to political and policy advantage. The president's Republican party is fighting to keep control of Congress in November elections.

"It will not be a political speech. It will not be calls to action by Congress, but instead reflect a date that's burned into all our experiences," Snow said. He said the speech "will have a note of optimism and at the same time sobriety about what we've been through."

Remember, it will not be a political speech.

10. Disney has to be rethinking this whole mess..
If the democrats do take back congress in November (and that is a probability right now), they will be making some very serious enemies. Disney stock isn't doing so well as it is.

Bet somebody is going to get fired over there for this.

This is an incredibly stupid business move for them - stupid even for Disney.

And for me, I'm watching football.

11. ESPN is part of Disney
I know this might not matter to you but ESPN is also part of the Disney family, a pretty big part so I'm sure they don't mind you watching football on Monday.

12.  I like football too much to care.
The truth is, NBC does a better job covering games though.

19. Bush's speech will be during the last hour of the mini-series...
the part where one might logically expect at least some criticism of Bush. What a coincidence!

20. I remember Bush on 9/11
As the WTC burned, he was reading My Pet Goat.

I think Bush is about to be overexposed. His trump card, that of being the nation's Saviour and Great Leader, was an artificial construct by the MSM in the aftermath of 9-11. I think he is about to lose that too!

21. Evangelical Christian cult group YWAM behind "The Path to 9/11"
and Disney is 100% behind them, imagine that...

Disney (ABC & ESPN) won't distribute Fahrenheit 9/11 summer 2004 because "it politicizes 9/11 in an election year".



Disney (ABC & ESPN) broadcasts radical evangelical group funded The Path To 9/11 without commercials on network TV on the (eve of and) fifth anniversary of 9/11 in 2006, much closer to an election than when they forbid distribution of a $120 million grossing domestic motion picture release just two years earlier.

also, the director of "The Path To 9/11" is the son of Youth With A Mission's founder

here's some text from the cult agent training program where they teach their mindless minions to infiltrate the real world:
The Broadcast/Cinema Focus Discipleship Training School aims to equip a generation of emerging filmmakers with the discipleship tools, life skills and professionalism needed to impact millions through motion picture communication.

Students in the Broadcast/Cinema Focus DTS will experience the standard format and curriculum offered at any approved Youth With A Mission DTS worldwide (see box at right). After successfully completing the 12-week lecture phase, students will be sent on overseas field assignments to produce film and television projects developed during the lecture phase. They also will engage in personal and team evangelism, joining forces with local churches and long-term missionaries on the field.

Core content of the DTS

In the first 12 weeks of the school outstanding speakers will teach you how to know God and make Him known:
• The character and nature of God
• Listening to God
• How to know and communicate God's Word effectively
• Biblical world view
• Prayer, intercession, spiritual warfare
• Reconciliation
• Spiritual gifts
• God's heart for the poor and needy
• Missions and evangelism


these fuckwits think they can pull off spreading their lies, I think it's not working.
