Media Endeavors to Point Out Media Bias in Newspapers, on TV and Hollywood
Movies... March
2008 From the onset of the film, there are subtitles in Spanish and then in French, and many languages are spoken througout it, including English, Arabic, French, Spanish and perhaps others I cannot recall at this time. At first I thought that I should hit some button on my remote control to get rid of the subtitles, but to no avail. Those distracting and rather annoying, shifting subtitles were persistently there-- and then it dawned on me! This was a brilliant ploy on Di Palma's part to transport the viewer of this film to the environment in Iraq, where thousands of people from foreign lands converged there - soldiers, media, government workers and contractors, in the chaotic, transitional world of a "regime change" imposed from outside foreign powers, specifically the United States of America. This confusing, dangerous atmosphere fraught with uncomfortable tension where suspicions are acerbated by misunderstandings as the result of different cultures and languages is artfully conveyed in this film. Based
on real facts and reports which De Palma mined largely from the internet
with regards to an actual recent tragic event - a gang rape and murder
of a young Iraqi woman by American soldiers - the story is reconstructed
cleverly by having two of the actor" soldiers" filming the events
while serving time there in Iraq, one "soldier" wanting to share
his experience with family and friends back home, and the other was hoping
to use his footage in a documentary which would serve as his entree into
the glamorous world of Hollywood directors. Watch the film to the very end. Then you will see a scene which will send you completely over the edge into fits of sobbing, and I am not kidding. It's not a manipulative film, it is simply painfully, excruciatingly informative. See this film. Brian De Palma's incredibly poignant and morally driven work is deserving of support from everyone of good conscience. The one criticism I have of this film is that one of the evil soldiers is often filmed sitting on a chair draped with a confederate flag meant to convey racism, and he often had a crucifix sticking out of his shirt pocket -- which is a typical and rather tired stereotype that Hollywood directors push for "the bad guys". The soldier also often uses the slur "sand niggers" to describe the Iraqis. The fact is that this immoral "war on terror", which obviously has some dumb, racist foot soldier-pawns who feign to be Christian doing the dirty work, is largely orchestrated and pushed by Israel-firster, Zionist Jewish neocons, so maybe it would have been far more appropriate if the evil soldier was sitting on a chair draped with the Israeli flag and sporting a "Star of David" necklace around his neck. Oh, but that would have been "anti-semitic"! Oops! **1/2 O Jerusalem Directed and co-written by Erie Chouraqui, a Jewish Frenchman, which has recently screened in the Jewish Film Festival in Palm Springs. Unfortunately the movie I had planned on seeing, "Champagne Spy", a new documentary about a Mossad spy of some notoriety, was cancelled for some reason. Perhaps the local ADL decided that the subject matter was simply too hot in this political climate, especially since two ex-AIPAC members are now under investigation by the US government for various reasons with regards to illegal spying in the US. Incredibly there was to even have been a Q&A with a member of AIPAC after the screening of "Champagne Spy". I knew it sounded too good and revealing to be true! So it was substituted with "O Jerusalem", which I thought sounded interesting. It was supposed to be about "the struggle for Jerusalem and the birth of Israel", and so I wanted to see what kind of Jewish propaganda it might be, since I was sure it could not be a totally honest film because that too would have been canceled NO DOUBT, due to pressure from Jewish groups such as the ADL. I was somewhat pleasantly surprised that "O Jerusalem" was not horribly offensive. Obviously, the director is not a hard-core Zionist, such as Ariel Sharon, David Horowitz, and let's face it, a large majority of Jewish people, it seems, but he is a soft Zionist none-the-less. As such, it is hard to be overly enthusiastic about this film. I'll start off with the negatives: * Chouraqui never referred to the Zionist Jewish gangs in his film who went around blowing up buildings such as the King David Hotel and massacring entire Palestinian villages as what they were called back then by all the maj0r newspapers and what they truly were: TERRORISTS. That really would have been something special if he did use that word in this film, to show how hypocritically the T-word is used, how one-sided, how propagandistic by the Zionized US media and government. We all know how our Zionized media and government label all those who oppose Zio-American persecution and exploitation as "terrorists", never using that word to describe Jewish Israeli actions or American actions (such as war). * At the end of the film, the narrative voice-over spoke about how "750,000 people were displaced" at the birth of the Jewish state of Israel, but he didn't identify those people as who they were: non-Jewish Palestinians. Their land and property was all stolen by Zionist Jews who are still doing the same thing to the remaining Palestinians -- never compensating them in the slightest and lying about it to the world, as "retaliation" when in actuality, the Zionist Jews came in fully expecting to take over Palestinian land, as the world looked the other way. Look up the real history of the Palestinian-Israel conflict at http://www.cactus48.com. Very few Jewish activists call for justice for the Palestinians in terms of : completely equal rights in Palestine-Israel, honoring the displaced Palestinian refugees' Right to Return to Palestine-Israel (as it is their right according to UN Resolutions and International Law), giving them reparations, giving them back much of their land, and denying the "right" of Jews anywhere to just go over to live in Israel and steal more Palestinian land. The narrator makes a plea for peace at the end of this film, but never truthfully addresses the issues that must be resolved in order for this to happen. It is impossible to "make peace" with someone when you are trespassing against them: stealing their land and resources, killing them and lying about it to the word, and claiming to be superior to them and above the law. *One of his characters said the UN allowed for Jews to come and take over much of the Palestinian land as in the "partition" of Palestine, however the UN was not created at that time but rather it was the fore-runner to the UN, it was the United League of Nations, formed largely by Jewish forces and Arab countries had no say at that time. It was only due to the incredible political power and financial power of the Jewish Zionist politicans and activists who were well-connected at that time and still are, that they managed to sway the US and most European countries into agreeing that Jewish people's demands and desires were far more important than non-Jewish Palestinians' rights at that time, and this is STILL the problem today as a matter of fact. *The leading character is a Jude Law-lookalike who is very naive and the typical soft Zionist, with their typical "Why can't we just live in peace" sort of attitude while pretending not to realize that the Jews' stealing of others' land and resources is, of course, the REAL issue. Talk about an immigration problem! How would the people of ANY country appreciate hordes of immigrants coming to invade their land with the intention of wiping their country off the map, which is what the Zionists were intent on doing all along and still are. The Zionist Jews gave lip service to the Brits that they would not deny the natives of Palestine their civil rights, but they NEVER kept their word. From day one, they took even more land by force than what was partioned to them-- which was also an act of force sanctioned by the super-powers of the US and Europe of that time, showing NO REGARD for the non-Jewish natives of Palestine. Watch how our leaders still only give lip service to caring about the Palestinian people. It's a sham and a shame. *He showed some Arabs yelling the by now well-publicized threats about "driving the Jews into the sea" when the fact is that Zionist Jews were the ones who came from the sea and then drove hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to seek escape into the sea via boats to neighboring countries such as Lebanon. It's just so typical of Zionist Jews to accuse others of wanting to do this and that to them, while they actually are doing this and that to the Palestinians and others. Take for instance the Israelis' insistence that Iran, nor Iraq, should have any nuclear weapons, yet the Israelis have well over 250 nuclear warheads, a fact the the Zionized US media helps to put a veil on-- as usual, always covering up the ugly Truth about Israel. So here are some of the positives: *It
was well done cinematically and I always like to see films shot on location,
since I am a travel buff. *At least it did mention some key events with regards to the birth of Israel, otherwise known as "The Catastrophe" ("Al Nakba" in Arabic) such as: the Zionists' bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem in 1946 killing many Brits and Arabs in order to scare off the British military; the Zionists' massacring of the Palestinian village Dier Yassin to scare off the Palestinians from their homes and land; how the United League of Nations partitioned off Palestine, but the Brits just walked away and let the Zionist Jews steal even more land from non-Jewish Palestinians while terrorizing them; how Arabs and Jews lived together peacefully in Palestine up until that time, although there were not many Jews living there at the time (basically only in the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem, although this was not made clear at all in this movie); how Jews and Muslims actually supposedly worship the same God (but let's face it, Jews obviously think God loves them more, as many of them prefer to think of themselves as "The Chosen People" whom God gave the land of Palestine, something obviously not everyone agrees on). I do think this film has the potential to spark the curiosity of the average non-Jewish Americans' minds to perhaps try to learn some more about the history of the Palestine-Israel conflict on their own. I certainly hope so. **Lions For Lambs Directed by Robert Redford, starring Tom Cruise, Robert Redford, Meryl Streep. Basically, you can skip this movie. I only give it two stars out of four simply because it held my interest enough to sit through the film.The only reason I did was because I kept hoping against hope that there would be some interesting twist to the movie and a real, brilliant message at the end of it, or at least something somewhat meaningful to me would be imparted. But alas, no. I didn't even realize that Robert Redford had directed this. I must have missed that when I was whispering to my husband, who really didn't want to see the movie in the first place. After the movie, I was convinced that Redford, Streep and Cruise probably took on the project just for the money. I was surprised to learn that Redford actually directed the film. It's hard to believe that he would be so deeply committed to this film enough to direct and star in this rather empty-of-truth film. As my husband Mark commented later (he walked out of the film before it even finished), "It was basically a debate between a NeoCon and a NeoLib", and that was really about it. 'Nuff said about this dialog heavy film, which is also an apologist for the media, which most of us know by now is indeed embedded with this criminal neoconservative government of Bush's, even if once and a while it might run an expose about the torture at Abu Graib for good measure, just to try to appear "balanced". Yet there certainly is not enough balance nor objective reporting, not nearly enough, to win it any respect from a widening number of Americans who realize the media is basically an arm of the government, dutifully supporting its lies and distracting Americans from the Truth with cheesy news stories. Whatever happened to investigative reporting as in the days of Daniel Ellsberg and other whistleblowers? The media is truly an arm of the shadow government as well. As such it only wants its designated dutifully, sold-out puppets to be in power, such as Bush, and next they want Guiliani, another participant in the 911 INSIDE JOB while they try to put the real peoples' choices Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich down the memory hole. Well, thanks to the internet, their attempts to mind-control Americans just may fail. Hope so! **** Rendition Directed by Gavin Hood, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon. Excellent film. It has it all for me in terms of political intrigue, travelogue, romance, and revealing complexities with regards to what is deemed "moral" and not. I highly recommend this emotionally moving film which sheds light on many issues that we face today as Americans. Go see this film!
Mel Gibson's epic about the Mayan culture "Apocalypto" a blockbuster success ! Mel Gibson's new film "Apocalypto" beats all the odds and comes up as a blockbuster hit, even surpassing "Braveheart" in the opening weekend. Check the official Hollywood report out here. The man is truly gifted, courageous, hopefully UNSTOPPABLE. In
the meantime, check out the official movie website at: http://apocalypto.movies.go.com/ The same could be said for the film itself which Mark and I checked out yesterday. Even harsh critic Mark gave it 4 stars. I have to concur. The cinematography was astounding, powerful and beautiful. The storyline was at once intensely personal, focusing on familial ties and love, yet informative visually with regards to the historical backdrop of that time in space. By the way, the Aztec and Mayan cultures were the bloodiest of all time, bar none. You will see why I say this when you read the afore-mentioned book. While the Christian conquistadores may have been overly exploitive of the native peoples in Mexico at that time, it pales next to what the leaders of the Aztecs and Mayans did to their own people. This is why Hernan Cortez with only approximately 400 men were able to conquer all of what is today Mexico. The native people there were all fighting each other and also resentful of the heavy tributes they were all forced to give up to their leaders at the time. They not only had to give a majority of their crops and resources to their leaders, they were forced to fight in endless wars, and even to give over their children for sacrifices to the gods. Much of this is also recorded in the codices (illustrated storybooks), steles (tablets inscribed with a form of hieroglyphics), murals, statues, pyramids and gravesites created by the people themselves. Many
lessons can be learned for today from studying history, including all
that happened in this stunning historical epoch when the Mayans and Aztec
were at their zenith of power. I have been waiting for someone to make
a film about the Mayans and Aztecs for a long time and leave it to Mel
Gibson to take on this gargantuan epic project. Also, if you have not
seen Gibson's "Braveheart" yet, it is a MUST SEE, and it's based
on a true story as well. Of course "The Passion of Christ" is
a must see as well, although it is painfully bloody. I saw it the first
day it opened. It did not disappoint. Way to go, Mel! The story of the Mayans and Aztecs, and how Hernan Cortez and his men conquered Mexico, is only touched upon in Gibson's movie. I hope other directors as talented as Gibson is will continue to mine this fascinating era. Obviously, it is hard to make films of historical events without somehow offending someone politically, but one must come from a good place and most people will recognize that and appreciate that. The fact is that we are all part of the human family, every single one of us. It doesn't matter what the race, color, ethnicity, creed or gender one is. And everyone is capable of both good and evil, and we must be ever vigilant in seeking peace, justice and equal rights for all with no exceptions. The Golden Rule applies to all: Do unto others as you would like them to do unto you. There has been a horrible history of man's inhumanity to each other throughout time, and now we are witnessing it by our own armed forces and mercenaries over in the Middle East fighting unjust wars, based on lies, and only making the elite richer and more powerful, along with their henchmen. I took a couple classes a few year ago on the history of the Mayans and the Aztecs, and it is indeed shocking what the elite in their cultures did. The Aztecs were even bloodier than the Mayans, although they were a close second. They sometimes sacrificed as many as 20,000 victims at a time, and the blood literally flowed down the steps from the temples atop the pyramids. The priests and leaders often ate the arms and legs of the victims in stews of tomatoes and chilies at grand feasts, and threw the rest of the bodies to the jaguars in their zoos. The skulls were displayed on huge skull racks on platforms for all to see. Death was glorified and considered necessary to keep the sun rising every day. The warriors often skinned their victims and wore the skins, going around asking for alms for a few days afterwards. There are statues and murals by native artists from those days of this gory practice. The gory brutality is almost unimaginable! Unbelievable! But true, none-the-less. Please read that book I mentioned above "The Conquest of New Spain" by Bernal Diaz. I
see in fact many similarities to that time and our own government and
elites. Our own government has covertly brutalized many innocent people
with US-subsidized "terrorist" guerilla warfare down in Central
America and supported brutal governments such as Pinochet's in Chile.
It doesn't stop there, of course. US-backed Israel has been massacring
non-Jewish Palestinians in their own homeland of Palestine, systematically
wiping it off the map, ever since 1948 when the UN immorally created the
Jewish state of Israel with no regard for the native people already living
there. As many of you now know, it is highly possible that 911
was an inside job orchestrated by our own government, certain elites and
possibly Israelis. The most memorable image of 911 was the attack
on and collapse of the World Trade Center buildings, especially the twin
towers, and the 3000 plus innocent people who were thus sacrificed in
order to appease the war-mongering neocons' lust for advancing an empire
into the Middle East and to fool the American public into supporting this
foolhardy, immoral and ruthless imperialist adventure.
If you are reading this, PLEASE do an epic film on the creation of the
state of Israel in 1948 and the resulting plight of the Palestinians and
how it affects the entire world today. That would be outrageously and
courageously fantastic!!!! By the way, Mel, I am recognized as a leading
expert by many on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and would be humbly
honored to work with you as a consultant on this project, of course. Just
say the word. Anyway, I digress. There
are many parallels in Gibson's films that resonate with what is happening
today, especially with regards to corrupt leaders, creating empires based
on wars and sacrificing many innocents, all to satisfy the greed and power
of the elite, who claim to be close to God and doing it for the peoples'
sakes. We the people must speak out against war and inequalities! Nov. 12, 2006 "Occupation 101" Finally Screens At Festivals, Winning Many Awards
While we waited impatiently for them to let us into the theatre, I multi-tasked giving out postcards about my documentary "Rosa Remembers Palestine" and also the great DVD "911 Revisited" to lots of people who were also waiting in line. Once inside, I am happy to report it was a full house. The film lived up to expectations and even Mark, an often harsh critic, gave it two thumbs up. Truly, it is an excellent documentary WORTHY of an Academy nomination for Best Documentary. But what are the chances of that in Zionist Jewish-dominated Hollywood? Wendy Campbell of MarWen Media strikes a pose with Sufyan Omeish, director of "Occupation 101". For those of you who don't know, the film is about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and provides some much needed background and the historical and current context of the conflict--- something the Zionized-Judaized US mainstream media does NOT do. Most Americans have been trained by the media to think of Israel as the poor, little victim that is merely trying to defend itself from "the terrorists", as they collectively dub the Palestinian people. The media is GUILTY of perpetrating a campaign of massive deception against the American people in order to foster support for the "only democracy in the Middle East" Israel--- when in all Truth, Israel has been a racist, ethnic-cleansing, apartheid, genocidal, anti-democratic, thieving, murderous, lying, terrorist rogue country since the day it was created in 1948 with NO regard for the indigenous non-Jewish people already living there, who were the natural MAJORITY of Palestine at the time. At any rate, this film "Occupation 101" is a must-see for ALL Americans of ALL creeds, races, ethnicities, and religious backgrounds, because we all need to take action to stop our government from supporting Israel as a Jewish state: that is a completely racist concept and it's the root cause of all the terror on both sides. We here in the US have fair housing laws that outlaw ANY kind of discrimination towards anyone, YET Israel has been demolishing Palestinian homes since the day Israel was created, stealing the Palestinians' land and properties, and LYING about it to the world! Meanwhile, "our" government has been funnelling BILLIONS of our tax dollars every year to the terrorist state of Israel, which is committing crimes against humanity every day against non-Jews in Palestine-Israel. This film will help the American people understand the dire situation which has escalated into war against all of Israel's self-made enemies, since Israel has been expropriating the land and the resources of non-Jews in the area, and killing many non-Jews in the process. Alison Weir, of the excellent organization If Americans Knew,(www.ifamericansknew.org) was one of the narrators featured in the film and was also in attendance. She participated in the Q & A panel afterwards. We only got to wave at her, and she waved and smiled back. We left halfway into the Q & A session, since it was 1:30 am and we were tired! Before the film, Mark took a photo of me with the film's director Sufyan Omeish, which was a thrill and an honor. The two brothers Sufyan and Abdallah Omeish are still $30,000 in debt so if you want to contribute to their film or buy the DVDs, please check out http://www.occupation101.com for ways to help them out with these expenses and help them to spread the word. This film will certainly be very helpful in educating the American public about the Palestine-Israel conflict and so this is certainly a most worthy cause! Please support the Artivist Film Festival as well: www.artivists.org Nov. 8, 2006 OK, so "My Name Is Rachel Corrie" is not a movie (yet), but it should be! (Psst!...ARE YOU LISTENING, HOLLYWOOD?) Hi All,
The play starred an extremely talented young actress by the name of Megan Dodds. An interesting interview of her in London where the play first ran can be found at this website: http://www.officiallondontheatre.co.uk/news/display?contentId=88741 We sat next to Megan Dodds later quite accidentally at the Minetta Street Tavern and got to talk with her a little bit. She firmly believes in the message that Rachel Corrie brought to the world's attention, stating "I think New York is ready for the message this play brings." We totally agree, and ditto that for all of Americans. We appreciate Megan's courage in taking on such a role. She has starred in Hollywood feature films with the likes of Drew Barrymore and Ray Liotta. I hope that Jewish Zionist-dominated Hollywood does not try to thwart her career from really taking off. Hollywood is very political and often pushes its Zionist agenda in most movies they make, sometimes subtley and sometimes not. By the way, Vanessa Redgrave financed the play!!! She is remarkable!! She also financed a film back in the 70's entitled "The Palestinians" and she was demonized and got blacklisted by the Zionists for doing so. It was before the days of DVDs or else I'd LOVE to order it. She went around wearing a kaffiyeh way back when before it was hip to do so. God bless her. We also met Michael Santamauro of Reporter's Notebook,(www.reportersnotebook.com) a website primarily concerned with the Jewish Holocaust and other Jewish issues, and Judy Andreas, a Christian of Jewish heritage and a regular columnist at Rense.com, at the Spring Street Natural, a fun restaurant in Soho. It was GREAT to meet them in person after talking with them on the phone frequently and e-mail exchanges. We also met Michael's wife, who is hip to the cause, for some drinks and Chinese food late in the evening. At any rate, I gave the play and Megan Dodd's performance in "My Name Is Rachel Corrie" a standing ovation, along with many others in the audience. Mark, ever the critic, simply applauded, confiding to me later that he thought it was rather milk-toast. However, not only was Dodd's performance very strong, but just the fact that the play is actually happening thrills me. Sure, it could have been more hard-hitting, but as it was, many in the audience were visibly very moved. The cat is out of the bag and it's not going back in. I wish a big-time feature film would be made about Rachel Corrie's life and her mission in the Gaza Strip, but I doubt if Jewish -dominated Hollywood will get around to that one. Of course, they are gearing up to do a feature film on the slain Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. So typical of Hollywood. As if Daniel Pearl was doing anything other than trying to further his career. As if that was in any way, shape or form somehow noble or worth making a film about. And by the way, if it's true that Daniel Pearl was going there merely to find out "why they hate us", it just goes to show how in utter and complete denial he was. Obviously, Hollywood's spin on Pearl as the noble, innocent victim serves the typical Zionist propaganda of constantly demonizing Muslims, and ignoring Jewish Zionist aggression against Muslims ever since the birth of Zionism in the late 1890's and especially with the creation of the Jewish state of Israel which has been in the business of ruthlessly ethnically cleansing and persecuting indigenous non- Jews ever since 1948 using our tax dollars to do so. And of course there were the Crusades way back when. All of which brings us up to why Rachel Corrie was in Gaza to begin with: protesting the immoral persecution of the indigenous people of Palestine and surrounding areas by Zionist Judeo-fascists and phony Christian crusaders. Of course Hollywood does not want to put a spotlight on the US-funded Jewish state of Israel's persecution of non-Jews in Palestine-Israel. No, of course not. But the cat is out of the bag and it's not going back in!!! The toothpaste is out of the tube and it's NOT going back in!! OK. I'm finished ranting for the moment. At any rate, please go see "My Name Is Rachel Corrie" if you get a chance. It's been extended till Dec. For tickets call the Box Office at 212-420-8000 or Ticketmaster at 212-307-4100 Related website: www.rachelcorriefoundation.org. Cheers, Wendy
Sept. 24, 2006 Now available from Arab Film Distribution: "RIPPLES CROSS "I'm scared to death that I'm going to miss an opportunity to help people learn about this, and about themselves." - Director Mark Turner Life
is short, make it count. While teaching young students about the unreliability
of western media's reporting on the Palestinian/Israeli conflict, finance
major Mark Turner declares that the only way to really know what is happening
in the Middle East is to go and see for yourself. After suffering the
loss of a close friend, Mark decides to do just that; he sells his car,
buys a video camera and leaves his home in Littleton, Colorado to learn
firsthand about life in the Israeli-occupied territories of Palestine.
RIPPLES CROSS is the astounding video record of Mark's journey into the
heart of the Mid East conflict, where he and other activists confront
Israeli troops at the Palestinian border, attend local rallies and protests,
and are caught off-guard on a quiet city street when gunfire erupts all
around them. This brave and audacious film testifies to one's ability
to move boldly beyond traditional methods of political activism, while
offering a call to anyone who dreams of actively working toward making
our world a better place for all. This film is dedicated to all international
activists who venture out into the world to stand in solidarity with the
oppressed. Sept. 24, 2006 Sept. 8, 2006 Discover
the Secret Right-Wing Network Behind ABC's 9/11 Deception Less than 72 hours before ABC's "The Path to 9/11" is scheduled to air, the network is suddenly under siege. On Tuesday, ABC was forced to concede that "The Path to 9/11" is "a dramatization, not a documentary." The film deceptively invents scenes to depict former President Bill Clinton's handling of the Al Qaeda threat. Now, ABC claims to be is editing those false sequences to satisfy critics so the show can go on - even if it still remains a gross distortion of history. And as it does so, ABC advances the illusion that the deceptive nature of "The Path to 9/11" is an honest mistake committed by a hardworking but admittedly fumbling team of well-intentioned Hollywood professionals who wanted nothing less than to entertain America. But this is another Big Lie. In fact, "The Path to 9/11" is produced and promoted by a well-honed propaganda operation consisting of a network of little-known right-wingers working from within Hollywood to counter its supposedly liberal bias. This is the network within the ABC network. Its godfather is far right activist David Horowitz (NOTE: he is a total Zionist Neocon extremist activist of the first degree), who has worked for more than a decade to establish a right-wing presence in Hollywood and to discredit mainstream film and TV production. 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 "global training network" in film industry jobs "so that they can begin to impact and transform Hollywood from the inside out," according to a YWAM report. Last June, Cunningham's TFI announced it was producing its first film, mysteriously titled "Untitled History Project." "TFI's first project is a doozy," a newsletter to YWAM members read. "Simply being referred to as: The Untitled History Project, it is already being called the television event of the decade and not one second has been put to film yet. Talk about great expectations!" (A web edition of the newsletter was mysteriously deleted yesterday but has been cached on Google at the link above). The following month, on July 28, the New York Post reported that ABC was filming a mini-series "under a shroud of secrecy" about the 9/11 attacks. "At the moment, ABC officials are calling the miniseries 'Untitled Commission Report' and producers refer to it as the 'Untitled History Project,'" the Post noted. Early on, Cunningham had recruited a young Iranian-American screenwriter named Cyrus Nowrasteh to write the script of his secretive "Untitled" film. Not only is Nowrasteh an outspoken conservative, he is also a fervent member of the emerging network of right-wing people burrowing into the film industry with ulterior sectarian political and religious agendas, like Cunningham. Nowrasteh's conservatism was on display when he appeared as a featured speaker at the Liberty Film Festival (LFF), an annual event founded in 2004 to premier and promote conservative-themed films supposedly too "politically incorrect" to gain acceptance at mainstream film festivals. This June, while The Path to 9/11 was being filmed, LFF founders Govindini Murty and Jason Apuzzo - both friends of Nowrasteh - announced they were "partnering" with right-wing activist David Horowitz. Indeed, the 2006 LFF is listed as "A Program of the David Horowitz Freedom Center." Since the inauguration of Bill Clinton in 1992, Horowitz has labored to create a network of politically active conservatives in Hollywood. His Hollywood nest centers around his Wednesday Morning Club, a weekly meet-and-greet session for Left Coast conservatives that has been graced with speeches by the likes of Newt Gingrich, Victor Davis Hanson and Christopher Hitchens. The group's headquarters are at the offices of Horowitz's Center for the Study of Popular Culture, a "think tank" bankrolled for years with millions by right-wing sugardaddies like eccentric far right billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife. (Scaife financed the Arkansas Project, a $2.3 million dirty tricks operation that included paying sources for negative stories about Bill Clinton that turned out to be false.) With the LFF now under Horowitz's control, his political machine began drumming up support for Cunningham and Nowrasteh's "Untitled" project, which finally was revealed in late summer as "The Path to 9/11." Horowitz's PR blitz began with an August 16 interview with Nowrasteh on his FrontPageMag webzine. In the interview, Nowrasteh foreshadowed the film's assault on Clinton's record on fighting terror. "The 9/11 report details the Clinton's administration's response - or lack of response - to Al Qaeda and how this emboldened Bin Laden to keep attacking American interests," Nowrasteh told FrontPageMag's Jamie Glazov. "There simply was no response. Nothing." A week later, ABC hosted LFF co-founder Murty and several other conservative operatives at an advance screening of The Path to 9/11. (While ABC provided 900 DVDs of the film to conservatives, Clinton administration officials and objective reviewers from mainstream outlets were denied them.) Murty returned with a glowing review for FrontPageMag that emphasized the film's partisan nature. "'The Path to 9/11' is one of the best, most intelligent, most pro-American miniseries I've ever seen on TV, and conservatives should support it and promote it as vigorously as possible," Murty wrote. As a result of the special access granted by ABC, Murty's article was the first published review of The Path to 9/11, preceding those by the New York Times and LA Times by more than a week. Murty followed her review with a blast email to conservative websites such as Liberty Post and Free Republic on September 1 urging their readers to throw their weight behind ABC's mini-series. "Please do everything you can to spread the word about this excellent miniseries," Murty wrote, "so that 'The Path to 9/11' gets the highest ratings possible when it airs on September 10 & 11! If this show gets huge ratings, then ABC will be more likely to produce pro-American movies and TV shows in the future!" Murty's efforts were supported by Appuzo, who handles LFF's heavily-trafficked blog, Libertas. Appuzo was instrumental in marketing The Path to 9/11 to conservatives, writing in a blog post on September 2, "Make no mistake about what this film does, among other things: it places the question of the Clinton Administration's culpability for the 9/11 attacks front and center ... Bravo to Cyrus Nowrasteh and David Cunningham for creating this gritty, stylish and gripping piece of entertainment." When a group of leading Senate Democrats sent a letter to ABC CEO Robert Iger urging him to cancel The Path to 9/11 because of its glaring factual errors and distortions, Apuzzo launched a retaliatory campaign to paint the Democrats as foes of free speech. "Here at LIBERTAS we urge the public to make noise over this, and to demand that Democrats back down," he wrote on September 7th. "What is at stake is nothing short of the 1st Amendment." At FrontPageMag, Horowitz singled out Nowrasteh as the victim. "The attacks by former president Bill Clinton, former Clinton Administration officials and Democratic US senators on Cyrus Nowrasteh's ABC mini-series "The Path to 9/11" are easily the gravest and most brazen and damaging governmental attacks on the civil liberties of ordinary Americans since 9/11," Horowitz declared. Now, as discussion grows over the false character of The Path to 9/11, the right-wing network that brought it to fruition is ratcheting up its PR efforts. Murty will appear tonight on CNN's Glenn Beck show and The Situation Room, according to Libertas in order to respond to "the major disinformation campaign now being run by Democrats to block the truth about what actually happened during the Clinton years." While this network claims its success and postures as the true victims, the ABC network suffers a PR catastrophe. It's almost as though it was complacent about an attack on its reputation by a band of political terrorists. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/max-blumenthal/discover-the-secret-right_b_29015.html News from Malibu (8/7/06): MarWen Media Speaks Out in Support of Mel Gibson Warning: There are some Indymedias that have FALSE versions of this article (and some of my other articles). Zionist Jewish activists have taken this article, inserted racist language, signed MY name and then posted it at some Indymedias. Although I have written to the editors at these Indymedia requesting that they completely delete the phony post(s), instead of merely hiding it (them), some of these so-called "editors" have refused to cooperate, in particular the Santa Barbara Indymedia. In this way, they are aiding the Zionist cyber-terrorists who try to discredit me and my legitimate criticism of Zionism and Jewish Politics. By the way, not all Jews are Zionists. Many are opposed to Zionism, but unfortunately mainstream Jewish Politics IS dominated by Zionism. By the way, I want to express my sincere thanks to the anonymous person(s) who has (have) written anonymous articles informing naive indymedia readers on my behalf that some of my articles have been tampered with at some indymedias. THANK YOU!!! Fortunately many people can figure it out on their own. Nobody would write those kinds of racist things these days as far as I know, even if they believed it, which I truly don't. Most people can figure out on their own that it's a deceptive ploy used by nefarious evil-doers who want to try and discredit the tellers of Truth and believers of equality for all, such as we at MarWen Media. Wendy Campbell and Mark Green went to Malibu to show support for Mel Gibson We were going to LA for the weekend anyway to celebrate Wendy's birthday (she is now officially part of Le Club 55!), but the main focus became investigating and showing support for Mel Gibson. Thanks to the miracle of the internet, I, Wendy Campbell, was able to find out exactly where Mel Gibson's church was up high in the hills of the magical land of Malibu.
Anyway, I highly recommend Moonshadows as a wonderful spot to dine, as it is literally right on top of the crashing waves of the blue Pacific, where we were treated to seeing sea lions and dolphins frolic idyllicly before us. The owner of Moonshadows and the staff are also very friendly and attentive. They declined to say anything about Mel at all, which we totally respected. Then we headed up to find Mel's religious compound. After a couple of false tries, ending up in people's driveways, we went finally went up a driveway, past a "No Trespassing" sign up to where a large building was being constructed. A man came out to meet us and he introduced himself as a construction worker. He would not accept our CARE package for Mel, which included some of our DVDs, a sympathy letter, a "Rosa Remembers Palestine" postcard, Mark's article "Mel's Real Crime: Not Loving Jews UNCONDITIONALLY" which has been published on Rense.com and many other websites, and a printout of a "Mel Gibson for President 2008" bumper sticker. He firmly pointed out to us that we had to leave the premises. So, we did, of course. But then we stopped off at The Rock Cafe, just down the road, and dropped off some "Rosa Remembers Palestine" postcards there. I talked to the couple that owns the cafe and they confirmed that there was a mass held every Sunday there in the smaller chapel, and they said it was at 10 am. Bingo! I am a Roman Catholic and a big fan of Mel's and had a mission to complete (giving him our CARE package) so I felt I had a legitimate right to attend that mass, if at all possible. So, the next morning we made the long drive from our hotel on the Sunset Strip, all the way back to Mel's chapel. After I dropped off Mark at The Rock Cafe (Mark isn't Roman Catholic, and was not comfortable in accompanying me on my mission), I drove back up the driveway, past the security and parked in the crowded parking lot. The worshippers spilled over into the outside of the church. Everyone was very, very quiet. At first I sat outside with the overflow crowd, but then I decided to go inside and even stand if I had to, in order to have the full experience. It was a very simple chapel, and again, the sense of quiet meditation was there inside as well. The traditional Catholic mass is practiced in only Latin. I remember the Latin Catholic masses from my childhood with great affection. I always liked the added mystery that Latin added to the experience of the mass, and enjoyed deciphering the Latin words and comparing them against the English words in my missal. To my surprise, the mass ended only about ten minutes after I had arrived. Apparently, the mass had started at 9am. I turned to the man beside me and asked him if he would give my CARE package to Mel, and he said he would. I had to trust him. He seemed sincere. I went back down the winding driveway, and noticed a cameraman standing there at the side of the road opposite the end of the driveway. I stopped the car, got out and went up to him, and then asked him who he was with. He told me Entertainment TV (E! TV). I asked him if he would like to interview me. He seemed to be delighted to do so. He gave me the E! TV microphone and told me to say whatever I wanted to and so I gave him my usual lecture about how Israel is a racist, apartheid, ethnic-cleansing state not worthy of our US tax dollars, and that Israel and Israel-firsters are primarily to blame for the wars in the Middle East, and told him that I support Mel Gibson's right to his legitimate opinion, even if it came out in an undignified manner. I ended it with "We love Mel Gibson!!!" He loved it. Now let's see if I make it on the show tonight (August 7 on E! TV, NBC, 7pm PST) or end up on the editing floor. Being that the Zionized US media almost always hides any criticism of Israel, I doubt if I will be seen giving my speech on E! TV tonite. But miracles can happen...
I sure know how to fantasize, eh? Hey, he's from Massachusetts just like me! We've got lots in common... So, then later that afternoon, we met up with Mark Weber of the IHR (Institute for Historical Review) and his girlfriend and her son, since they live in LA and we enjoy catching up with them now and then. We met at a hip diner, the 101 Coffee Shop in Hollywood on Franklin Street at Vista del Mar. The Institute for Historical Review is especially famous for its courageous leadership in Holocaust Revisionism, researching all the events in and around the Jewish experience in Europe during WWII. It has been the target of Jewish extremist terrorist groups, such as the Jewish Defense League, who have tried to intimidate them, even with bombs and fires. While Mark Weber, Mark Green and I do not agree on many things about the Holocaust, 9-11, Israel, immigration and Palestine, we all respect and support the right of freedom of speech and thought with regards to everything, within reason. We do not tolerate hate crimes, such as what Israel and "our" government are doing right now to the non-Jewish Arab people in the Middle East using our tax dollars. This cannot be tolerated! Don't get me going... It was a very interesting trip to the magical land of Malibu and Hollywoodland. Hopefully, it was also a productive trip.
News from Malibu (7/31/06): Mel Speaks His Mind While Busted for DUI -- And Gets Crucified AGAIN... We are big fans of Mel Gibson, the courageous director of "The Passion of Christ", and we regret that he was busted for a DUI and now he is being crucified AGAIN (last time it was because The Usual Censors didn't like his film "The Passion"), this time because he happened to rant about what was on his mind, which is what is on the minds of many of us especially now, with regards to who is largely responsible for the horrible crimes against humanity taking place in the Middle East. The main culprit in the "war on terror" is Israel "the Jewish state" and its ally "our" government. Israel is a racist Jewish state that has been methodically, systematically and continually ethnically-cleansing non-Jews from Palestine and parts of its neighboring countries including Lebanon and Syria. The US-led war on Iraq is really all about supporting Israel's imperialistic ambitions, not the US's. It's a war by proxy, being fought by the US because Israel, Israel-supporters in our government and the Jewish Lobby demand it, using OUR tax dollars. Whatever the Israel-firsters demand, apparently they get. And it's wrong! Hey, Mr. President Bush, look in the mirror! YOU are the major evil-doer by doing Israel's bidding even though it is bad for everyone else! Our prayers go out to Mel Gibson. Believe it or not, Abe Foxman of the ADL is threatening Mel Gibson with a hate-crime! Well, Mr. Foxman, what do you call what your favorite country Israel has been doing to non-Jews? Now, THOSE are REAL hate-crimes! And, yes, Mr. Foxman, those hate-crimes against non-Jews in the Holy Land will have its consequences. While Foxman whines about some words uttered by a man in utter frustration and an inebriated state of mind, Foxman condones the atrocities and crimes against humanity that Israel has been committing against non-Jews not only in the last few days, but the past years, even decades, going back to even shortly before 1948 when the Jewish state was unilaterally created with complete disregard to the human rights of the native non-Jewish peoples there. What a complete and utter hypocrite and racist Mr. Foxman is! Thank God not all Jews share Mr. Abe Foxman's views, as you can see by the many honest and courageous articles written by righteous Jewish human rights activists that we feature on our articles page here at MarWen Media, such as Jeffrey Blankfort, Leland Lehrman, Judy Andreas, and many others. God Bless Mel Gibson! God Bless the Truth Tellers!
(7/28/06) We finally ended up walking out towards the end of this crashing bore of a movie. Honestly. What a disappointment! Whereas the original TV series "Miami Vice" was full of colorful scenes, great music, likable characters, great scenes of Miami, and healthy doses of humor, this movie version was dark, humorless, hardly showed any of Miami except for some skyline veiws, badly acted, no likable characters, dreary, overly long...we finally gave up and walked out. What a complete waste of $18. I really can't think of anything good to say about it. Nada. And of course, as always for any movie that comes out of Hollywood, there were the usual Hollywood favorite suspects playing the really bad guys, in this case the really bad guys were "White Supremacists" (obviously Christian White Supremacists since apparently Hollywood and Zionists don't believe there is any such thing as Jewish White Supremacists-- a very convenient oversight considering that it is exactly what Jewish Zionists are-- Jewish White Supremacists! On top of that the top guys of the prison gang Aryan Brotherhood, such as Tyler David Bingham and Edger Hevle,are, ironically, Jewish! That's right! Google it and see for yourself!) Anyway, one of the White Supremacists even had a swatstika tatoo! This time, as least, we were not subjected to the bad guys being laden down with multiple crucifixes as in "Sin City" or "Kill Bill" for example. And there were no gratuituous bad Arab guys thrown in as subliminal Zionist propagandistic mischief either in this movie. So this time, the Really Bad Guys were the Christian White Supremacists who were also double-billed as Nazis due to their tatoos. I noted how this movie also didn't show the Jewish-Israeli drug-dealers of the Miami scene, who everyone knows about and talks about openly, especially in Key West! Of course not! Remember, this movie came out of Zionist Jewish-dominated HOLLYWOOD, where there are no such things as Jewish bad guys. Yes, Hollywood has a bias, a very deep-seated biased point of view, but they relay it subliminally and subtly. But once you get hip to it, it's fairly quite obvious. At any rate, the bottom line is that this movie was NOT at all entertaining, in our opinion, and once again we were subjected to the Zionist Jewish one-sided point of view with regards to who the really bad guys always are. Mark keeps trying to get me to stop insisting on going to the movies. If I see many more movies like this in a row, I just may have to agree with him!
Here are some photos from our fantastic trip to the Cannes Film Festival 2006, Monaco, St. Tropez, Paris and more. Wendy and Mark of MarWen Media at the Cannes Film Festival!
