Moore's 9/11 misses out on Israel's apartheid
Why does Micheal Moore forget to mention GW Bush and his support of Zionist apartheid Israel?
Straddling the fence between mainstream liberal and radical means knowing when to remain silent about Zionist Israel. Micheal Moore does a great job exposing the links between GW Bush and the House of Saud, CIA and Al-Qaida, however, he forgets to mention Israel's oppressive apartheid regime that builds walls around Palestinians and destroys their hundred years drought tolerant olive trees..
When talking about the Middle East, Israel is a major factor in increased tension between Islam and the West. The US government funds Israel with their weapons, including nuclear (just ask former nuclear researcher and whistleblower Mordachai Vanunu [Jewish, not Arab], oh, forgot he cannot leave Israel nor talk to outsiders). Many Zionists dismiss anything Vanunu says, they refer to him as a "self-hating Jew". Another one of those Jews for Peace who doesn't agree with the Israeli government's abuse of the Palestinian people..
Micheal Moore's movie 9/11 is humorous and brilliant. GW Bush tells so many lies eventually he would trip himself up. The movie connects the lies and reminds us of the trickery used by the Bush family, from Prescott ( GW's granddaddy who funded Hitler pre WW2) to George Jr.. Just enough for a liberal to get away with and make money, but if he critisized Zionist Israel, would he still be a blockbuster hit??
When talking about Hollywood, we need to not use stereotypes, but also be aware of the behind the scenes politicing. A separate example is Arnold Schwarzenegger's coxy relationship with the local Jewish Zionists in Hollywood. To assume that his pro-Israel stance had anything to do with him becoming governer of CA would simply be paranoid, correct?
What is we took 9/11's base theme one step further, this time including the right wing Israeli Zionists? Is Israel used as military leverage against the Saudis, and vice versa? The CIA has always been good at making two oppositional nations escalate, look at Iran and Iraq, both funded militarily by US to gain control of the Middle East oil supply. (Similar to funding right wing paramilitary in Columbia, staging a coup against Chavez in Venezuala, etc..)
All in preparation for the Zionist Christian "Rapture" or Armageddon, when Islam vs. Zionism brings the petroleum era to a final bang..

Pantagraph to Moore: Headline use 'misleading'
Explanation, apology sought
By Bill Flick
flick@pantagraph.com
BLOOMINGTON -- The Pantagraph has a message for Michael Moore, creator of the movie hit, "Fahrenheit 9/11":
If he wants to "edit" The Pantagraph, he should apply for a copy-editing job and not simply show made-over and "falsely represented" pages from the newspaper in his movie -- or he should at least ask for permission first.
In a letter drafted Thursday and sent to Moore and the movie's Santa Monica, Calif.-based distributor, Lions Gate Entertainment, the newspaper admonished him for his "unauthorized ... misleading" use of The Pantagraph in the film. He also was cited for copyright infringement.
The letter, drafted by J. Casey Costigan of the Bloomington law firm, Costigan & Wollrab, seeks an apology, an explanation of how such a strange discrepancy occurred in his movie and compensatory damages -- of $1.
"While we are highly flattered to be included in the movie," said Pantagraph President and Publisher Henry Bird, "we are a bit disturbed that our pages were misrepresented."
Previous attempts to reach Moore through Lions Gate by phone and e-mail were unsuccessful.
In the film, Moore criticizes President Bush's handling of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the subsequent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and the president's and his associates' ties to Saudi Arabian oil interests.
In a moment early in the movie, newspaper headlines from around America that relate to the legally contested 2000 presidential election flash across the screen. One of them is purported to be from a Dec. 19, 2001, edition of The Pantagraph.
But a check of that day's newspaper revealed the large headline prominently flashed in the movie -- "Latest Florida recount shows Gore won election" -- never appeared in that edition.
Instead, the headline appeared in a Dec. 5, 2001, edition -- but not as a news headline. It was in much smaller type above a letter to the editor. Those headlines reflect only the opinions of the letter writer and are not considered "factual" news stories.
In the movie, The Pantagraph page, as shown, was not how a real page from the newspaper would have looked. Moore's version had a different typeface and a different headline size from what The Pantagraph uses. The newspaper's name, however, appears in the correct font.
The letter calls all of this a "misrepresentation of facts."
The discrepancy first came to light in a July 16 Bill Flick column.
Since then it has become a topic of newspaper articles, radio talk shows and various Web sites.
"In an instance that The Pantagraph prints materials in which there is a mistake," the Costigan letter to Moore reads, "it is corrected. It is our hope that you would adhere to the same high ethical standard and correct the inaccurate information which has been depicted in your film."
The letter calls into question the ethics of how Moore made his movie, a movie whose primary purpose is to call into question the ethics of the Bush White House.

As it turns out, there are many "versions" of history. And by the way, the Zionist "version" about everything is almost all lies, lies, and moore lies.
