I'll be on Randi Rhodes Show shortly to discuss Path to 9/11

[paulthompson]

Hi, I'm scheduled to be a guest on Randi Rhodes Show on Air America to discuss the inaccuracies in the ABC docudrama Path to 9/11. I'm supposed to go on some time between 3 and 4 PM East Coast time. So I hope you check it out. If there are any points you think I should mention, please let me know. And don't miss the Path to 9/11 antidote, 9/11: Press for Truth (www.911pressfortruth.com).

K&R.............

I did'nt see the docudrama,

did the deal with the aug PDB? did they mention the 7 minutes of moroness at the schoolhouse after the 2nd building was hit on 9/11?

Did it mention what a bunch of lying assholes these guys are?

:yourock:

[President Jesus]

10. Don't forget to mention the Exec Producer is a Democrat

This seems to be a point lost on most: http://www.newsmeat.com/fec/bystate_detail.php?st=CA&last=Platt&first=Marc

Also, "right-wing" actors: http://www.newsmeat.com/celebrity_political_donations/Harvey_Keitel.php and http://www.newsmeat.com/media_political_donations/Anne_Sweeney.php

Lastly, don't forget "neo-con" Disney CEO Bob Iger, who ONLY donates 4:1 in favor of Democrats! http://www.newsmeat.com/ceo_political_donations/Robert_Iger.php

11. PAUL YOU PATRIOT, YOU! I SALUTE Ya!

:toast:

[ronnykmarshall]

13. I just ordered it, Paul.

Thanks for your hard work.

[stellanoir]

14. Great

In the land once known to be "the land of the lively discussion," after 9/11, there was scarcely any real discussion regarding causality, beyond the "they hate us for our freedoms" and atrociously unconscious and irreverant shadow projection.

This regime's primary agenda is to "perpetuate retribution" for a perpetual conflict. War profiteers have and are cleaning up sans accountability.

We are far less safe due to their idiocy and total ineptitude and incapability at any form of diplomacy whatsoever.

Say what you are so inspired to say. I didn't watch the propaganda film.

I'm sure you'll do great.

[davidwparker]

15. Dude, I'm so into what you are doing right now. I have as a long

term goal to help with Java programming on your site. I'm recuperating from surgery and can't right now, but I would like to help sometime. Currently, the help is just posting links to your work on several sites.

I heard about you first on Randi and then got your DVD because Randi recommended it. I've watched it several times.

[helderheid]

16. Kick

[leftchick]

17. Paul you were FANTASTIC on C-Span yesterday

All of you! It was wonderful to see and hear you all!

:)

[TNOE]

18. YOU WERE GREAT ON C-SPAN

THANK you for doing what you are doing.

Is there a website or tape from last night show? Probably on C-SPAN I guess.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!

[Philosoraptor]

19. E-e-e-e-excellent

[lala_rawraw]

20. woo hoo...

Paul on Randi's show and the producers are walking to every office in Congress, each member's office, and giving them the DVD and introducing them to family members... now how cool is that?

me? i am back in bed because my body hates me... so i will hang out with you guys so you can cheer me up

[Pharaoh]

21. we love ya lala

I'm about to take a nap myself...........I've got Randi on.......

[Kurovski]

46. We do love you!

I hope your spell passes soon.

May your talent and spirit inspire that recalcitrant body to get with the program.:-):hug:

[lala_rawraw]

47. thank you so much

lucky for me we are all staying at the same hotel... there are four beds in our crappy room... and no air conditioning... yucky place... but we can go downstairs to get some food and so Paul and I sat at the diner when i wrote (see below) that we were sitting together.

also, some of the family members are in the same hotel, so it is almost like reunion.

btw, Paul is so tall and I am so short that when we stand next to each other, we look like a circus act. it is so funny... i wish there were more DUers here with us.

[fed-up]

22. PT2911 was PURE propaganda trying to justify TORTURE & eavesdropping

that bothered my more than the Clinton bashing.

Your movie was excellent and when I get my copy I will circulate it at Chico High, here in northern CA and send it with my son to his college class. These kids most likely watched PT911 and they were probably to young to have paid much attention to all the fine details right after 9/11/01. These kids will VOTE in the 2008 elections and they need to understand what the current party in power is really all about.

I would love to see your movie viewed in 100K classrooms!

Thanks for all your hard work.

[coalition_unwilling]

34. PT911 was racist, sexist and promoted vigilantiism at the expense of

law and order.

[ronnykmarshall]

23. Paul's on right now!

:yourock:

[Synnical]

24. Kick for Paul - on now n/t

[donco6]

25. The 7-minute Bush pause . . .

I guess the film shows this ala Farenheit 911. Anyway, heard a caller this a.m. going on about Secret Service protocol and how Bush wasn't ALLOWED to go anywhere during the time it took them to find Cheney and get him to his hidey hole.

The problem is, I've never worked for ANYONE in my entire life who would have just sat there like Bush did. They'd be demanding a cell phone and a television! And the protocols don't say the President has to stay in his EXACT SPOT, he just isn't supposed to rush back to DC. Bush just demonstrated clearly that he had no idea of how to take charge of a situation - something he's illustrated over and over again with Katrina and Iraq. The man is NOT a leader.

That's a point I'd like to hear made.

[johnnydrama]

30. 9/11 timeline

If you read the timeline, you find out that Bush was told of the first crash either in the limo on the
way there, or right when he got to the school.

They told him a plane hit the first tower.

If he had read the PDB, or took it seriously, he probably should have realized it wasn't "a bad pilot", and
never would have went into the school in the first place.

When you see the video of him in the school, you may think that Card is telling him about the first plane
that hit, but it's the second.

The fact is, he should have never stepped foot in the school in the first place, and everybody who was with him that day blew it big time.

They all panicked, and proved they weren't up to the job that day.

[donco6]

41. Man, even WORSE.

I didn't see that before. Now really, how could you continue with some dumbass photo op, knowing that this disaster was taking place? So the RW talking point about "secret service protocol" is even more bullshitty than I thought.

[orleans]

26. listening...

you and randi are comparing "lists" on that piece of crap movie

(great job, by the way--for 9/11 press for truth)

[ProgressiveEconomist]

27. Where's Osama? Even PT911 shows that the rule of law catches and

punishes terrorists, while Bush's "war" catches and punishes hapless big-mouths (Padilla, Miami, upstate NY) who've done nothing.

Even if Bush's approach turns up some people with direct ties to terrorist acts against the US, no respectable court will accept "secret evidence" or information obtained through torture.

There's a current DU thread about John Yoo's legal theories that's relevant to these points.

[bdamomma]

28. listening now

[DesEtoiles]

29. Next: Mickey Mouse Stars in Swiftboat Willie!

[fooj]

31. Thank you for all that you are doing to shine the light of TRUTH...

[coalition_unwilling]

32. Ask the old Latin question: Cui bono? Start from that question

In vulgar English: "Who benefits?" (aka "Follow the money")

[IChing]

33. I'm listening didn't watch the movie

both are doing a great job on the lies

Why is this movie not slander?

[shireen]

35. thank you!!! great interview

proud to be a DU'er standing with you .... :applause: :applause: :applause:

[IChing]

36. Thanks paul and randi on the great job watching that sucky movie

great job on telling us all the lies and slander.

[paulthompson]

37. You're welcome

Don't miss the new film I'm featured in, 9/11: Press for Truth. The filmmakers did a great job and it's a must see if you want to know the real facts about 9/11. www.911pressfortruth.com

I still feel dirty from watching Path to 9/11. Ugh. :(

[IChing]

42. I watched it and sent it on to people

What is really good about that film is that no matter what your stance is on the conspiracy of 911 be it
19 Arabs or what ever, the film and the book asks documented timeline questions that
the average american can see and search out the truth himself.

In other words they don't have to be a conspiracy nut like me to appreciate the questions both the book and the film raises without being labeled like I am.
It is the greatest work on the introduction to the questions of 911.

thank you my friend for your work.

[lala_rawraw]

48. but your salmon burger should have cured that...

:D

[lala_rawraw]

38. and now you are sitting next to me...

at a rat whole eating crappy food, lol:)

[lala_rawraw]

39. Here is the full list of who made the film...

Do me a favor, thank them all...it is based on Paul's amazing book, but the film was made by a little group of people.... i will cut and paste from bio area:

The Filmmakers

Ray NowosielskiLike Paul Thompson, twenty-something filmmakers Ray Nowosielski and John Duffy had been touched by September 11th but never thought much further about it. In the spring of 2003, during their last semester of film school at Columbia College in Chicago, a friend mentioned The Complete 9/11 Timeline in passing. That evening, Duffy and Nowosielski decided to take a look. They found themselves unable to stop reading, scrolling through the web site until being interrupted by sunrise.

Though the filmmakers had never had any interest in the genre of documentary, as the months passed, they grew to believe that this was a story the American public needed to hear. By the 2nd anniversary of September 11th, they were seeking the funding for what would eventually become ‘9/11 PRESS FOR TRUTH’. The first investor provided funds in May 2004, allowing for the start of pre-production. The long production phase kicked off with a trip to New York in September 2004.

During that visit, the filmmakers made two important contacts. Paul Thompson’s book, ‘The Terror Timeline’, had just been published by HarperCollins, and he was in New York that week to promote it. After hearing their vision for the movie, Thompson agreed to allow co-producer Duffy and co-producer/director Nowosielski to adapt his work—a major turning point in the direction of the movie. The second important contact was Kyle Hence.

In mid-2003, Hence had co-founded 9/11 CitizensWatch, an advocacy organization which monitored the activities of the 9/11 Commission on behalf of the public and was in close contact with the Family Steering Committee. He agreed to join the production as executive producer (eventually also becoming a co-producer and co-writer), and in the spring of 2005, helped them get interviews with three of the famous “Jersey widows”—another major turning point for the film.

Production wrapped in December 2005, and Hence approached Manhattan-based Globalvision (‘Beyond JFK’, 1992; ‘WMD: Weapons of Mass Deception’, 2004) for help in completing the movie. Hence had worked with Globalvision co-founder Danny Schechter in 2004 to develop a never-completed 9/11 documentary.

Co-founder and documentary veteran Rory O’Connor (PBS ‘Frontline ‘The Hole in the Wall’, 1999) joined Hence as executive producer, providing the production with Globalvision’s many resources, including production coordinator Glenn Beatty and editor Kozo Okumura. Indianapolis’ Erik Potter, of Banded Artists, provided his expertise as computer animator for the “wall of TV” sections while Adam Johnson and Ben Johnson wrote and produced.

the original score. The Bay area’s Emmy-winning Ken Ellis, senior producer for George Lucas’s Educational Foundation, soon rounded out the production as co-executive producer. Hence and Nowosielski approached writer and journalist Larisa Alexandrovna, to help with scripting and story structure. Alexandrovna, is also managing news editor at Raw Story, a columnist at Alternet, and has a blog at the Huffington Post. Post-production completed in July 2006.
