HOLY BULLSHIT- PATH TO 9/11 BROADCAST WORLD-WIDE BLITZ (Australian Promo)

[kpete]

08 September 2006
Holy Bullshit!!!
It's even worse than we thought.

While ABC has been busy peddling the “it's only a docudrama” stateside, they have been planning on worldwide simultaneous broadcast blitz - billing “The Path to 9/11” as the true story of what really happened. And featured in this Australian promo is that big lie scene that shows the Clinton administration choosing not to go after Bin Laden, while the voiceover announces he could have been stopped and “how one decison changed our world.” The opening sequence also has the words “The Official True Story” over the backdrop of the twin towers.

Watch & Weep!:

1. Can you say MANDATE? I know you can

This is a plan that took time, money and politics to produce.. Make no mistake, they have a Mandate to change history with their lies.....

[babylonsister]

2. Bullshit being the operative word. So this is how they plan on

garnering sympathy for the BFEE? I don't think it will work. Clinton, unlike dimson, is well-loved. Hopefully anyone who watches will see right through the b.s.

[d---mad2]

34. TOTALLY AGREE

Clinton is more revered abroad than in this country

This will bite them in the ass if they take it internationally.

So we say BRING IT ON.....................

[City Lights]

3. You are a DU gem, kpete.

:loveya:

How do you find these thing?

:yourock:

Recommending...

I ask ya!

[undeterred]

16. Zing!

[Coexist]

5. what scum-sucking pigs they are.

Aaaaaugh.

[Felinity]

6. This could backfire for them

Our credibility is at an all-time low abroad. Now one of our major networks produces this pack of lies and ships it overseas. I'm betting that the MSM abroad (not to mention the blogs) will hop on this in a huge way--ever read Pravda? These folks already think Bush & Cheney are dirt, the truth will come out.

How's Euro Disney doing?

Fingers crossed.

[mikelgb]

7. wow I said it once ill say it again

this is the most brazen propaganda campaign ever

motherfucking sons of bitches

[ms liberty]

8. Gawd - even more proof of malicious intent for the Big Dawg's lawsuit

These people have NO shame - we need to get this out, people! Let's get busy!

On another note - kpete, you ROCK!

[DemInDistress]

10. it seems strange to me that the new Osama tape shows up

this week. We get to see a couple of named 911 hijackers training with Osama. Why now? If this tape was created prior to 911, why the fuck now? Is their an arm of the BFEE inside Al-Jazeera?

Coincidence or dumb luck or purposely planned?

Thanks Kpete.

[fooj]

54. All by design...

[spanone]

69. Al Qaeda WANTS bush* to be president. Bush* equated OBL with Hitler.

Quite a promotion for a terrorist, I would think.

[Liberal Dose]

11. I did

12. necons take the world - mud sticks

13. Path to 9-11, this is Bush's brand of freedom and democracy...

[originalpckelly]

18. Channel Seven is one of the biggest networks in Australia

A LOT of people will be seeing this. Even more people for "democracy."

14. Those who control the present control the past.

Forget the rabbit hole, we're all going down the memory hole.

[originalpckelly]

15. HOLY SMOKES BATMAN, Republicans just broke the left wing off the Batmobile

Sorry I couldn't resist, but this is their version of "Triumph of the Will." These people are evil, they hate us, and I wouldn't be surprised if they started coming after us in violent ways.




^^^You have to say with a little more lettuce, he would look like a Nazi^^^

[bperci108]

29. To quote a prominent RW shitbag....

"Bring it on..."

There are millions more of us than there are of them.

Perhaps our friends south of El Rio and down South American way may want throw in?

See you in the streets, Kelly. :evilgrin:

[chiffon]

17. the military industrial complex---phase 3 of 5

We are almost there.

:mad:

[Imagevision]

19. Repugs, call in the swiftboatee's we're drowing-we're drowning!!

Repukes to Bush, nuke Iran! do some damn thing!!!!!

[frylock]

20. many people outside of the u.s. already know the truth about 911..

what a laugh.

[originalpckelly]

21. Okay people some weird shit is going, New Zealand, the UK

Will also be seeing this.

[bdamomma]

22. geez, they want everyone to drink out of poison well of

kpete, you should cross-post there.

24. ABC continues to advertise “The Path to 9/11″ as “based on 9/11 Commission

9/11 Commissioners Criticize ‘The Path to 9/11′ »
ABC continues to advertise “The Path to 9/11″ as “based on the 9/11 Commission report.”


The people who wrote the 9/11 Commission report disagree. Here’s a review of their comments —

[IWantAChange]

25. Sky is Falling

Falling gasoline prices based on an oil discovery 5 years away from pumping its first barrel - a President revving up the FEAR-o-Meter - a Docudrama on how all our Terror problems are the result of Democratic incompetency - the GOP spin machine, with some help from Big Oil lowering the price at the pump is putting everything in place to hold onto power.

[Nikki Stone 1]

27. I wish you were wrong, but I know you're not

:(

[glitch]

48. Let's hope that's all they do. nt

[Sydnie]

26. Holy shit!

We need to start writing affiliates WORLD WIDE? This is NOT good.

[Lucy - Claire]

28. Yes BBC2 have it here too

Sunday and Monday.

[Cobalt Violet]

30. This shit is maddening.

They really are pissing a whole lot of people off.

[passy]

31. OMFG!

Goebbels would be very proud.

[xxqqqzme]

32. They will stop at NOTHING!

If anyone ever doubted that the neo-cons are going 2 go quietly - give it up!

There was a war declared but it was against those of us struggling to keep this country alive.

[mnhtnbb]

33. What a bunch of lying, evil a$$holes.

[file83]

35. FUCK Disney ---- FOR LIFE!!!!!!

This is unforgivable. Disgusting. :puke:

[glitch]

47. Eternal Boycott - like Exxon. nt

[passy]

36. See my post here about the BBC showing it

[BonnieJW]

37. OK

If ABC is behind a world wide blitz, how can we alert the rest of the world that what they are being blitzed with is pure bullshit? There must be a way. How do we inform Australia media, for instance, about the truth? Don't we have an Australian group here on DU????

[twenty4blackbirds]

38. Can we say 'libel'?

if the non-US affiliates show the unchanged version, does that mean the defamed people can sue internationally? Can the producers of that piece be sued internationally for false advertising?

[LaPera]

39. Slimy fucks! Don't stop letting people know the truth about republican

Disney & ABC!!

[Sonnabend]

40. They are not pissing me off-I want to see the film

..and I will judge for myself what is true and what is not.

[TahitiNut]

44. Based on personal, first-hand experience, huh?

Heaven forbid that anyone believe what Sandy Berger, John O'Niel, Bill Cohen (R!), or others with FIRST-HAND knowledge actually say, huh? Heaven forbid that any credit's given to the 9/11 commission's report.

:puke: :puke:

[Sonnabend]

45. The fact remains that I reserve the right to decide

..and that no one has the right to decide what I see and dont see. Does the First Amendment ring a bell?

[TahitiNut]

51. Does libel, slander, defamation, and false advertising ring a bell?

The First Amendment is NOT (and has NEVER been) an unrestricted license to use the public airways to provide a platform for bias and falsehoods - not even under the guise of 'dramatization' or 'entertainment.' The overt coordination with a speech by the Fecal Fuhrer indicates even more serious corruption.

[me b zola]

55. yeah, everyone has the right to be an idiot

You have heard from the sources themselves that abc has fabricated scenes, made shit up out of rw talking points. You have several of the players involved with the project admit that it isn't a documentary and that they need to "revise" some scenes. You know that the first FBI agent asked to be a consultant turned them down for the job after reading the script, and the second FBI agent who took the job quit half way through because abc was "making stuff up". You have the statements from the producers of the show admitting that they are religious nuts who want to "transform Hollywood".........WTF do you need to get a clue??? Jesus God I don't know WTF is wrong with some people's critical thinking ability.

Jesus. Click on the link in any DUer's sig line that says Path to 9/11 and read. Do some research and think for yourself instead of relying on rw sources for your information.

68. Slander is not protected speech under the Constitution

Please tell me that you have never served on jury duty. If twenty credible people testify that the accused was attending a public function in CA at the exact time that the prosecutors say that the accused was in GA committing a robbery, would you ignore that evidence as well?

As I stated in the subject line, slander is not protected speech under the Constitution. What I find interesting is that you do not consider yourself one of us who is dedicated to protecting the Constitution. Are you sure you are on the right message board?

[glitch]

50. I have no intention of watching it, but I want them to run it too.

Oh yes, and then I want some very public court cases. And I want everybody involved roped in on the trials, all their ugly dirty laundry aired.
And then I want ABC to get it's broadcast license reassigned to Current TV. :rofl:

Edit to add: nothing wrong in extrapolating from known facts, don't knock the people who refuse to watch. Experience still has some worth, despite all the memory holes.

[Rex]

41. It's only a movie!

:sarcasm:

[pa28]

42. Wow, thanks for (trying) to keep these guys honest.

Now we've gone from 'a dramatization of the 911 report' to 'fictionalized interpretation' to 'essence of truth' to 'just made up' back to 'the official true story'

:rofl: ABC and Disney should do themselves a favor and yank the show while they can still salvage the few remaining shards of their reputation.

[JohnWxy]

43. Since this product is actually a campaign promo for the GOP I think the

Democrats should demand equal time to provide a truthful documentary on this matter. ABCs product presented like a docu-drama but fille with outrageous distortions is really a campaign piece for the GOP. Dems should get equal time.

[glitch]

46. ABC/Disney totally screwed themselves on this one. I have to say:

Sic em Big Dawg!

edit: mispelled dawg

[Initech]

49. Yeah, and that asshole Limbaugh has the nerve to call *US* Stalinists...

:eyes:

[micraphone]

52. In New Zealand too :(

This crap is being shown in NZ Sunday and Monday nights.

I have already sent (two days ago) letters to the TV company and the magazine TV Guide (the biggest selling weekly in the country!) to object. Look like we have the same ad as Australia - "the truth" etc. TV Guide must have written their own synopsis as they had Kean as the ex-governor of New York!

My family and most of my friends won't be watching.

[me b zola]

56. Welcome to DU, micraphone

Thanks for supporting the truth :toast:

[twenty4blackbirds]

57. Farenheight 911 showing previous night on same channel

[newyawker99]

72. Hi micraphone!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[ColonelTom]

53. Your tax dollars at work.

Where else do you think the $40 million in production costs + purchase of airtime in numerous countries (remember, no ads!) are coming from?

[althecat]

58. Its on here in NZ tomorrow night...

Heavily promoed in prime time on the main state broadcasting channel. It will probably top rate.... and needless to say there is nothing at all in the media here about the controversy going on over there.

[PADemD]

70. How do most New Zealanders feel about Bush?

[threadkillaz]

59. When "they" resort to a "blame Clinton" strategy...

...to get their base awake, you know they're desperate.

Stay focused on winning the house and senate.

And never sit on leads, as leads are typically manufactured by corporate media polls, which are very easy to manipulate within the error rate to create fake momentum in the opposite direction for their favorite candidates, as the election draws nearer, to "get out" the base.

Mathematically, the media can control the supposed real-time "perception" of the balance of power within their error rate. With a +/- Error of 4%, 52=48 in Poll World.

But this year we stay focused on winning to the point where no momentum will save any of 'em.

YARRGHH!

[arcos]

60. BREAKING NEWS: ABC IS SEEN ON CABLE WORLDWIDE... nt

[mykpart]

74. Site seems to be down now.

How strange.:sarcasm:

[malaise]

62. This will only make

an already pissed off world more anti-Bushco. ABC is clueless about what the majority of the world's people will watch anyway.

[Karenina]

63. The words "The Official True Story"

are a big tip-off to anyone this side of the pond. :evilgrin:

[malaise]

67. True

Mikey mouse bullshit.

[annabanana]

64. They will LAUGH, shake their heads... and change the channel.

They have been getting REAL information from REAL news sources for the past 5 years. THEY know what we are up against.

[Wretched Refuse]

65. The long and winding Path to 9/11

Well, could not we go further back in our time machine and ask:
What the hell did George Bush I do to stop Osama? I mean why not do that? He had the whole middle east in his grubby little hands back in 1991, so why not take Osama out right then either?

Now HERE is a concept for y'all,

It has struck me that this "non-issue" (really if you think about all the treason this admin is doing, this is a non-issue) is REALLY the DLC re-asserting itself as the controller of ALL things Democrat.
I mean it is all a Clinton (+administration) face saving thing that now supposedly ALL good Dems come to the aid of their "fearless leader." Well, it really is sapping our "momentum" on other more important issues, and the corporate controlled DLC KNOWS THAT.

So, I have stayed outside the blogosphere on this one, except for the few phone calls to ABC radio to gnash my teeth on the air, with the likes of Levin (the Zionist) and the new idiot (Jerry) last night taking over Laura Ingram's 8-10 slot in the NY ABC market.

Screw Disney and ABC, they were the next to fall to the nazis after Fox anyway, everyone knew that. I believe that ABC is also stirring the pot to get all good Dems back into the DLC fold, as Hilary was starting to get REALLY antsy at the calls to debate Tasini and with Lamont, and the Screw the DLC push happening as of late, I feel this is the motive for the over-hype of this non-issue.

This all just another Corporate-control of our sense of "what is important."

[GreenPartyVoter]

66. Well there IS truth in advertising.. "Official" meaning sanctioned by

the current admin. That 'splains everything, Lucy!

71. 9/11 - R. MOTT 2001

73. American Airlines slagged: Incorrect info again

Thanks for the welcome DUers! I've been lurking for a long time but this PT9/11 thing finally prompted me to join.

See this to check out the slander on AA:

And Disney/ABC got it totally wrong, defaming one of the largest airlines in the world.

"I really hope someone at American Airlines realizes that come 12 hours in Australia and New Zealand, when the show starts to air, no one is going to fly American ever again. (I of course tried to call American's government affairs office in DC to let them know this and the woman hung up on me. Oh well.)"
