Beyond the Frame: Alternative Perspectives on the War on Terrorism

This DVD compilation offers a series of stand-alone interviews with some of the most prominent scholars, experts, and activists in political and social thought that critique mainstream media's coverage of the war on terrorism. This accessible format is designed to allow educators to bring the voices of these cultural analysts directly into their classrooms.

Launched in September 2001, Beyond the Frame is a series of interviews with leading scholars, experts, and activists offering alternative perspectives on the 9/11 tragedy and its aftermath. Originally a web-only project, the interviews were(and continue to be) available free of charge via streaming video through MEF's website. The project was a response to MEF's alarm at the dangerously restricted range of views presented by the mainstream media, largely confined to the opinions of political elites and a commercial frame dependent on advertisers and ratings.

Featuring some of the most prominent names in political and social thought, the site has been accessed to date by tens of thousands of people seeking alternatives to mainstream media coverage in a post-9/11 world. Created in response to educator requests, the DVD will allow these interviews to be shown in the classroom.

Featuring Interviews with: Seth Ackerman, Belquis Ahmadi, Joan Blades, Maliha Chishti, Noam Chomsky, Jo Commerford, Kevin Danaher, Cynthia Enloe, Henry Giroux, Janine Jackson, Robert Jensen, Sut Jhally, Darryl Kimball, Michael Kimmel, Mhahsa Khanbabai, Naomi Klein, Manning Marable, Mark Crispin Miller, Bernie Sanders, Ritu Sharma, Vandana Shiva, and Alisa Solomon.

Sure arabs are pissed because the US supports corrupt dictatorships(Saudi) and despotic 'presidents'(Musharaf), plunders their oil and support Israel, but 19 highjackers certainly did not plan 911 without help from rogue elements of the CIA and their ISI subsidiary in Pakistan with Saudi funding, and Cheney's rewriting of interception protocols and NORAD exercises or shutting down of Able Dager etc etc. Arabs are pissed for good reasons but 911 was still a false flag(maximized Northwoods)

[Rickdeckard2020]

The war on terror is a sham to fool the population

"supported the Shah"

The US/UK overthrew the elected goverment that nationalized the oil corporation of Iran using terrorism

Bin Laden was trained armed and funded by the CIA to trap the USSR in Afgh, Bin Laden's a CIA asset

Afterwards, Afghanistan was not about the Oil/Gas for the US, its about the Profits of selling gas to Asia (and the money laundered f Opium sold in the west)
