Deception Dollar Artist Blaine Machan Interview on Issue #10- Seeking Suggestions

Next Show 7/16/07 - 9/11 Truth Show with Blaine Machan and Paul Cross Listen 7:00- 8:00 pm (PST) to the WeThePeopleRadioNetwork.com and to our guest in the first hour Blaine Machan, Deception Dollar artist, currently working on Issue #10 and open to ideas and suggestions from activists. Listen 8:00- 9:00 pm (PST) to our guest in the second hour Paul Cross, producer of Severe Visibility reporting on the Italian premiere of his film and the European view of the events of September 11th, 2001. Blaine Machan is a very talented artist who was one of the first to realize that "9/11 was an inside job." He and others brought Michael Ruppert to Calgary in 2002 to speak about "The Truth and Lies about 9/11." Blaine did many graphics for the event, including a couple of "Deception Dollars" and he also worked on a series of satirical movie posters on a 9/11 Truth theme. In the Fall of 2002, he contacted me and I was very impressed with his artwork. His mom thought he shouldn't "waste his time on political art," but should get a real job. I encouraged him to continue with the political art and suggested that he design a back for the Deception Dollar, so that we could pass them out at anti-war rallies. Blaine figured out how to add key websites to the bills. He also created the Deception Dollar Website. The Deception Dollars made their debut at an anti-war march in San Francisco in October 2002. Ten thousand were printed. Another 100,000 were published before the January anti-war march, soon followeed by printings of 500,000 and 1,000,000 as people mobilized to stop the war on Iraq. We have worked collaboratively since then to produce and distribute over 6,500,000 Deception Dollars, multiple 9/11 Truth events- including the premiere of Aftermath-Unanswered Questions from 9/11, Behind Every Terrorist-There is a Bush, the San Francisco and Toronto International Inquiries into 9/11. Blaine has also done artwork for innumerable issues of Global Outlook Magazine and 9/11 Truth books including Barrie Zwicker's award winning Towers of Deception (which has a cameo profile about Blaine).

Second Hour- 8-9 pm Paul Cross produced the feature film Severe Visibility. The synopsis of the film: The film centers around a major in the US. military who was in the Pentagon on September 11, 2001 and ideally situated to observe the attack. However, he did not see a Boeing 757 strike the Pentagon and the film is about his obsession with the question "How could he have not seen Flight 77?" His dicovery reveals a devastating reality that he is forced to confront. His quest for truth sets him on a collision course with history, forcing him to confront the demons of his past, and the awesome burden that the pursuit for truth reveals. Paul Cross was inspired to make the film, by a twist of fate which had him filming the White House on September 11, 2001 and visiting the Pentagon on September 12, 2001. He directed, wrote, produced, and stars in Severe Visibility. He began his career in the entertainment industry in summer stock and an off Broadway revival of Redhead. He then garnered starring roles in Sygzy, Wish It Were Spring, Amazons, Studs Lonigan and Rituals. He then wrote and starred in Ice Pawn which debuted at the Cannes Film Festival in 1992. He recently appeared in the musicals 1776 and Spoon River. For the past two years he has written and produced two award winning documentaries- West End Story- An Anatomy of Musical Theater and Follow the Leader filmed at the White House with George W. Bush, and winner of the Atlantic City Film Festival for Best Documentary.

He has gone through a dramatic personal transformation since 9/11. His film Follow the Leader glorified the office of the Presidency. Now he feels that the gravest threat to the country is emanating from the Oval Office.

We'll be discussing how to wake up and mobilize the American people to prevent an escalation of "The War on Terrorism" (The War on Us).
