"The Passion of the Flight 93" , BushCo , and the next Big Scare....
Let's face it..."FLT-93" is gonna stir the shit pot on many different levels.

Right Wing fascist Repuke Nationalist Hypocrites will masturbate to it as they imagine that they were the heroes who sacked those plane-stealing Camel Jockeys and brought the plane down before it had a chance to chase down Chimpy as he dotted about the country like the wussy blue-blooded legacy prick that he is., Then they'll make some new "Never Forget Flight 93" bumper stickers to put over the "W-04" bullshit as they fill their gas-guzzling SUV's with patriotic $4.00 gas imported from the same country where those hijackers came from unable to wrap their primordial grey matter around the disgusting irony of the whole thing. (BushCo knew)

The X-tian Taliban will see "FLT-93" as "The Passion of the Titanic of the Sky" Sobbing. Theaters all over the country will report unprecedented uncontrollable wailing as the plane pitches and rolls toward it's inevitable end. New airplane shaped car decals will take the place of the Jesus fish, and Falwell,Robertson, and the other Fundie talking heads will lovingly damn all us heathens as they decode (FLT 93) to predict the Rapture. F = 6 L = 12/6 = 6 T = (the 6th letter in the word "Flight" and 9 -3 = 6

Then you've got those whose wounds are still raw from that horrible day, and this film will be as salt ground into them...


There are those who see this as propaganda for profit - a terrible slap in the faces of those poor people who got on the wrong fuckin' planes on the wrong fuckin' day.

Then there's me. If I do see it, which I'm still not sure if I will, I'll be FUMING the whole time thinking about how Monkey boy was warned 52 TIMES THAT THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN!!! GOT A BRIEFING ON AUGUST 6TH THAT SAID THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN!!!! HE NEEDED THIS TO HAPPEN!!!

which brings me to the Big Scare....Surely BushCo knows that people will likely be emotionally vulnerable---maybe even, emotionally malleable They know they can't just raise the TerrAlert (tm) anymore because they've cried wolfowitz too many times already. They're going to use this movies effects on the American people as the pretext to do


SOMETHING....

But What?

Iran?
Venezuela?

11. Makes me wonder again why them dems aren't out front screaming
that there wasn't one Iraqi amongst the hijackers. How we should apparently be nuking Saudi Arabia if nationality is what determines who is responsible for what happened.

21. They ALREADY use it as a justification. So why blame a movie that none of
us has seen yet?

19. No, because as I just said in another post, this will be how the
justify attacking Iraq. Doesn't matter that no Iraqis were involved. They will twist and spin it so that the ignorant, and there are a LOT of them, will believe it.

3. Why abandon this to the right-wing?
We're just as much patriotic Americans as they are. Why not use this to make a point that if we all had been honestly been made aware of the nature of the threat, NONE of the planes would have crashed.

Just about two or three weeks before 9/11, passengers on a plane landing in Salt Lake City subdued another passenger who apparently had a psychotic outbreak. It was an unhappy ending because he was a sick man who had been under treatment and they ended up killing him by accident when they piled on to stop him from whatever he was doing.

My point is, the crew and passengers on the other three planes thought they were dealing with a standard hi-jacking and were following established protocols. If they had had any idea of the threat, they would have stopped the terrorists, too.

The Clinton people tried to pass on the warnings of trouble brewing during the transition and were laughed at and ignored for their efforts. A random group of Americans knew what to do when they recognized the threat. Why has no one in the Bush administration actually been made to pay for being asleep at the switch?

10. Because I don't think it's right to 'use' 911, or those who perished
that horrible day to make any point on any side. It's not in our (my) nature to use people's emotions, fears, ignorance, class, color, or any other set of circumstances for any reason at any time. That, I believe is a Repuke strategy.

Terrorize, Divide, Conquer. Rinse and repeat.

I agree with the substance of your post, though. We are patriotic, much more so IMO, because we love our country enough to stand up when our policy's are in direct contradiction to our constitution, and our "leaders" have turned a grand Republic into a Fascist theocracy. Dissent is the highest form of patriotism. How much courage does it take to goosestep with Bush Condi Rummy and the other dead ducks?

4. The movie? "United 93" or "Flight 93"?
United 93 (Universal Pictures)
www.apple.com/trailers/universal/united93/
www.flight93.net (note the confusing URL)
www.united93movie.com

I think many people are incorrectly refering to this one as "Flight 93"

=======

Flight 93 (A&E)
www.aetv.com/flight_93/f93_preview.jsp
www.loosechange911.com/flight93.mov

"Flight 93" contains a scene describing how they have trouble finding a plane at the crash site:


"Is there a plane in there?"

"We don't know yet..."

"What do you mean?"

"...we're still looking for it...at first we thought it was in the hole, but there's nothing in there..."

"It must have landed in the woods, we haven't found it yet.."

"We're talking about a 757, here...it's a huge plane..."

"Yea, we know...you can help us look for it if you want..."

14. SOLUTION... Go see "American Dreamz" this weekend! Make it #1
The best antidote to the Flight 93 jingoistic bullshit is to help make a scathing satire of Chimp number one at the boxoffice this week.

17. Flight 93 story is pure fabrication.
They needed "heros" so they conjured some up out of thin air.

22. I'd have to agree somewhat with that.
Not exactly "pure" fabrication, but aside from a few limited recordings, we can only speculate on actual events.
