Hijacking Catastrophe - 9/11............Documentary DVD
Fear & the Selling of American Empire

The 9/11 terror attacks continue to send shock waves through the American political system. Continuing fears about American vulnerability alternate with images of American military prowess and patriotic bravado in a transformed media landscape charged with emotion and starved for information. The result is that we have had little detailed debate about the radical turn US policy has taken since 9/11.

Hijacking Catastrophe: 9/11, Fear & the Selling of American Empire examines how a radical fringe of the Republican Party has used the trauma of the 9/11 terror attacks to advance a pre-existing agenda to radically transform American foreign policy while rolling back civil liberties and social programs at home.

The documentary places the Bush Administration's false justifications for war in Iraq within the larger context of a two-decade struggle by neoconservatives to dramatically increase military spending in the wake of the Cold War, and to expand American power globally by means of military force.

At the same time, the documentary argues that the Bush Administration has sold this radical and controversial plan for aggressive American military intervention by deliberately manipulating intelligence, political imagery, and the fears of the American people after 9/11.

Narrated by Julian Bond, Hijacking Catastrophe features interviews with more than twenty prominent political observers, including Pentagon whistleblower Lt. Colonel Karen Kwiatkowski, who witnessed first-hand how the Bush Administration set up a sophisticated propaganda operation to link the anxieties generated by 9/11 to a pre-existing foreign policy agenda that included a preemptive war on Iraq.

Joining Kwiatkowski in a wide-ranging, accessible, and ultimately empowering analysis of American foreign policy, media manipulation, and their global and domestic implications, are former Chief UN Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter, former Pentagon analyst Daniel Ellsberg, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Jody Williams, author Norman Mailer, MIT professor Noam Chomsky, Code Pink founder Medea Benjamin, defense policy analyst William Hartung, author Chalmers Johnson, and Army Special Forces Master Sergeant Stan Goff (Ret.).

At its core, the film places the deceptions of the Bush Administration within the larger frame of questions seldom posed in the mainstream: What, exactly, is the agenda that drove the administration's pre-war deceptions? How is 9/11 being used to sell this agenda? And what are the stakes for America, Americans, and the world if this agenda succeeds in being fully implemented during a second Bush term?.................

This is a superb DVD, I recommend it very highly. Bush and his Cabal Hijacked the 9-11 Catastrophe as a tool to enable thier ambitions as outlined in thier " Plan For A New American Century ", with the main objectives being to achieve worldwide military dominance, control vital diminishing resources ( especially hydrocarbons ), and to increase and protect the positions of power of the US elite. A extrememly important thing that is not addressed in this DVD, is that the event of 9-11 itself, as vast amounts of evidence indicate, was an event at least facilitated ( or completely created ) by these same people, to achieve maximum impact on the American Public, which would springboard thier pre-determined ( before 9-11 ) plans. Things are really beginning to un-ravel for these guys, regarding thier crimminal and immoral activities, with Rumsfeld gone, Chenney showing his arrogant manner, and level of tensoin on a recent CNN interview with Wolf Blitzer, with Russian President Putin openly today citing the danger presented to world stability, from this administrations policies under " Bush The War Crimminal ". Condi Rice just this week getting many pointed questions and feeling the heat, Scooter Libby implicating Cheney as being the lead figure in outing Valerie Plame. The world is worried about what Bush and his corrupt cohorts will do next, in a last ditch effort to move forward on thier American Century plans. The world is very concerned that Bush may well do something like launch a tactical nuke ( or other ) air assault on Iran facilities, unleashing without a doubt, untold mayhem as a result. Its hard to fathom that he would do this, but the indications are building that he might, and one only has to look at what has happened since Bush took office, to realize, yes, he is that crazy, arrogant, and immoral.
