Just watched this movie..

Well not the one I will direct you to below. It is a documentary about the runup to 9/11 and the resulting start of a military advance into Afghanistan. Anyhow, the movie, "9/11: Press For Truth" was a great watch. It outlines all the evidence of threats, attacks, and possible attacks planned against the U.S. in the years leading up to the tragedy in New York City. Also called upon are the actions, or inactions, the U.S. government and elected officials took during those times. This movie gives well researched facts, news video and press clippings to the viewer. .This bombardment with facts is one of the things I liked best about the film. It provokes thought in a time where negative things about the government are often censored or thrown out of news stories altogether. Government accountability is also brought to mind, through the questionable actions of those in power took around these times.

One clip in the film shows Condoleeza Rice trying to "Politician" her way out of the facts presented to her in a Presidential Briefing she had reviewed on August 6th, 2001. A month before the attack. Youtube punksucks2525, which is my channel, for the entire vid. It is hilarious how she tries to slant her knowledge of any threat at all.

The moral of the film is that Knowledge Is Power. Knowing the facts allows one to formulate the right opinion, when lies are no longer suitable. It is for facts and hard news to exist for governments to be kept in check. We need a lot more independent media around, and that is a fact as well. Watch this documentary if you get a chance, you'll be rewarded for it. With Pizza, or something..
