OpEdNews - Article: ANOTHER VIEW ON FLIGHT 93

" Patriotism in its simplest, clearest and most indubitable signification is nothing else but a means of obtaining for the rulers their ambitions and covetous desires, and for the ruled the abdication of human dignity, reason, conscience, and a slavish enthralment to those in power:" Leo Tolstoy

There is something unsettling about watching a heroic and obviously patriotic film interpretation of an event that is still shrouded by many questions as well as an incomplete 9/11 investigation.

An investigation that the Cheney/Bush administration initially stonewalled and are still actively stonewalling as to the 2nd half ~ that deals with pre 9/11 intelligence gathering.

In an interview with the financial news network CNBC, Mr Bush said he had yet to see the recently released film of the uprising, a dramatic portrayal of events on the United Airlines Flight 93 before it crashed in a Pennsylvania field.

But now Bush has said the September 11 revolt of passengers against their hijackers on board Flight 93 had struck the first blow of " World War III ".

Got the picture ~ the movie Flight 93 being used to fan the flames of false patriotism as the Cheney/Bush administration gear up for war with Iran and, very possibly, WW lll .

Fortunately there are others who feel the same way as I do ~ and one of them is Jerry Mazza , Online Journal writer, who asks and suggest some possible answers as to Why was this movie made ?

Excerpt: " But maybe the "why" can be answered in part by "who" made Flight 93. It arrived packaged and promoted by Universal Studios, which is owned by NBC Universal, which also owns NBC, which is all owned by General Electric, media giant and major weapons contractor. What's more according to la.indymedia.org , General Electric donated $1.1 million to GW Bush for his 2000 election "run." MSNBC is an NBC joint venture with MS or Microsoft that kicked in $2.4 million to get GW Bush elected. Now, where do you think the movie's point of view is coming from? "

" FLIGHT 93 " THE MOVIE, WHY ?

By Jerry Mazza
Online Journal Contributing Writer

May 1st, 2006

Why would anyone make a 9/11 movie based on a number of cell and air phone calls that might have been scientifically impossible on September 11, 2001, simply because the technology couldn't handle calls of that distance, six to seven miles up.

Well, they made Flight 93 because the calls were used as spin-evidence that a band of brave Americans fought off a smaller vicious band of terrorists, when in fact the entire event is surrounded in a mire of questions?

Like the once-quarried bog that supposedly swallowed Flight 93's 757 in a grassy field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, leaving a smoking hole, grave deep, some 20 by 10 feet wide, and little else.

But maybe the "why" can be answered in part by "who" made Flight 93. It arrived packaged and promoted by Universal Studios, which is owned by NBC Universal, which also owns NBC, which is all owned by General Electric, media giant and major weapons contractor.
