This Week in Blogging The Religious Right: The Path to 9/11 Edition
By Frederick Clarkson Fri Sep 08, 2006


Right at posting time for This Week in Blogging the Religious Right, the blogosphere has erupted with breaking stories about the deeper background of the scandal involving ABC's prospective docudrama, The Path to 9/11. It turns out that the film company behind the film is a project of Youth With A Mission, a major dominionist organization.

----Dave Neiwert at Orcinus details how Loren Cunningham, the leader of YWAM wove the ideas of theocratic Christian Reconstructionism into the YWAM indoctination program.

----And Max Blumenthal at The Huffington Post reveals how a covert rightwing propaganda operation headed by David Horowitz has been working behind the scenes, and that most importantly:

On this project, he is working with a secretive evangelical religious right group founded by The Path to 9/11's director David Cunningham that proclaims its goal to "transform Hollywood" in line with its messianic vision.
Before The Path to 9/11 entered the production stage, Disney/ABC contracted David Cunningham as the film's director. Cunningham is no ordinary Hollywood journeyman. He is in fact the son of Loren Cunningham, founder of the right-wing evangelical group Youth With A Mission (YWAM). The young Cunningham helped found an auxiliary of his father's group called The Film Institute (TFI), which, according to its mission statement, is "dedicated to a Godly transformation and revolution TO and THROUGH the Film and Televisionindustry." As part of TFI's long-term strategy, Cunningham helped place interns from Youth With A Mission's " a network?in film industry jobs "so that they can begin to impact and transform Hollywood from the inside out," according to a YWAM report.

6. walt was RW. His amusement park EPCOT was to glorify corporate economics

all over the world. Globalism was his goal, it seems.


after a lot of digging, i found out the acronym EPCOT stood for .. IIRC,... not sure of first two words now.. was years back i dug it up..

last words were

City Of Tomorrow.

So the RW tilt of disney began with walt himself.

8. If this is true then it is truly horrifying.....

the power of Dominionists is not to be taken lightly, also considering that the wealthy dominionist Howard Ahmanson has backed a couple of voting machine companies.
