Hijacking Catastrophe: 9/11, Fear, and the Selling of American Empire (w extras)

Hijacking Catastrophe (2004) 9/11, Fear, and the Selling of American Empire. (w. extras) The Thinking Person's "Fahrenheit 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 Administrations 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. 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? The film is produced by the Media Education Foundation and features former government officials combined with many of the leading scholars and thinkers of our time including Noam Chomsky, Norman Mailer, Chalmers Johnson, Daniel Ellsberg, Tariq Ali and more. http://www.hijackingcatastrophe.org/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0419806/ low quality web stream http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article6895.htm AVI File Details ======================================== Name.........: Hijacking.Catastrophe.2004.DVDRip.XviD-LisaB.avi Filesize.....: 541 MB (or 554,622 KB or 567,932,928 bytes) Runtime......: 01:10:38 (127,024 fr) Video Codec..: XviD Video Bitrate: 872 kb/s Audio Codec..: 0x0055(MP3) ID'd as MPEG-1 Layer 3 Audio Bitrate: 192 kb/s (96/ch, stereo) CBR Frame Size...: 576x336 (1.71:1) [=12:7] Language.....: English files: total 816mb Hijacking.Catastrophe.2004.DVDRip.XviD-LisaB.avi Hijacking.Catastrophe.2004.DVDRip.XviD-LisaB.nfo Extras: Beyond.the.Frame.-.Alternative.Perspectives.on.the.War.on.Terrorism.avi Constructing.Public.Opinion.-.How.Politicians.and.the.Media.Misrepresent.the.Public.avi Edward.Said.on.Orientalism.avi Peace,Propaganda.and.the.Promised.Land.-.U.S.Media.and.the.Israeli-Palestinian.Conflict.avi The.Economics.of.Empire.XviD-LisaB.avi Hijacking.Catastrophe.Teacher's.Guide.pdf Hijacking_Catastrophe.jpg stats: http://conspiracycentral.net:6969/stats.html?info_hash=88b73b73fbda15b33327e93415120794182e59fc comments: http://conspiracycentral.net:6969/comments.html?info_hash=88b73b73fbda15b33327e93415120794182e59fc Possible bans from the tracker unless using bonafide bitorrent client.
