Hijacking Catastrophe 1 / 7

PlayList ALL-PARTS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYw8BDg1x2Y&feature=PlayList&p=55D7971...

Hijacking Catastrophe is powerful, understated, straightforward and educational. In a single meticulously organized hour of evidence and analysis, viewers are treated to a thoughtful explanation of modern American empire, neo-conservatism as a driving force for the current Bush administration, and something I have not seen before, a real economic analysis of what is driving some of our current "global war on terror."

The film examines the Bush Administration's investment in neo-conservatism, and the early, and already horrific, results. While past performance is no guarantee of future earnings, Hijacking Catastrophe shows exactly why America's "new conservatism" is a pyramid scheme of inhumane proportions.

The film examines eight aspects of the current situation of American foreign policy. The film provides an explanation for the obvious continuity between Cold War policies and those of the present. It examines long-term neoconservative thinking and how this peculiar version of Jacobin utopianism ascended from its rather inauspicious political roots. The film explores the dangerous territory of how the post 9-11 national shock was carefully cultivated by neoconservatives in Washington to support their own long-held objectives in the Middle East.

Hijacking Catastrophe then documents the Pentagon and White House process of disinformation, exaggeration, and media-supported propaganda between 9-11 and America's March 2003 invasion of Iraq. It describes the neoconservative vision of military dominance over a supine, energy-rich Middle East, not only for its own sake, but as a warning to other potential international rivals.

Hijacking Catastrophe describes the cost of empire in a way so comprehensive that it becomes clear that neo-conservatism, as a foreign policy guide, comes with a very real moral, political and financial garnishment of every American, and of American children yet unborn. The cost is shown not only as a current financial outlay or in lives unlived on the part of soldiers and marines, but in terms of an alarming debt burden, loss of domestic freedom, the growing and invasive state, a permanent tattering of the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

The film features commentators, journalists, government officials, and political activists, such as Noam Chomsky and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Jody Williams. It also interviews policy analysts, military brass, journalists, insider observations from Chief UN Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter and Pentagon whistleblower Lt. Colonel Karen Kwiatkowski. - Chalmers Johnson, Tariq Ali, Medea Benjamin, Mark Danner, Norman Mailer, Michael Dyson, William Hartung, Kevin Danaher, Stan Goff, Shadia Drury, Robert W.

It's sad that the Americans who DO watch the entire thing are the ones that already agree with the message...

I'm an American myself and I can safely say that we're overpopulated with a bunch of ignorant fucks.

I never thougt in this age of "Freedom of Informaiton" technology developement we could be manipulate so. How our government DID and continues to lye to us is criminal. I'm amazed that No accountablility for our public officials that have betrayed our confidence and outright disgraced the positions of represenation have not been held accountable. I will never again trust one source of information and raise hell to save the little integrity that is left!

Fool me once...

I'm an American too. As being one of them, I feel ashamed of Americans who are ignorant unless some issues directly affect.
