Box Office: Summary | U.S.A. | Foreign | More: IMDB | All FR Charlie Wilson (War) Threads NOTE: It is very important you READ the purpose of this thread. I also appreciate FR NancyTx recapitulation of my key positions HERE. It is very important that you understand the movie was funded and produced by George Soros Shadow Party" ("SSP") Participant Productions, the same company that produced Al Gore's highly fraudulent movie "An Inconvenient Truth" and the barf-fest movie "Jimmy Carter Man From Plains". Both Carter and Gore were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize - in different years - in which George Soros had significant influence with key members of the Noble selection committee in both awards. If you visit the movie's official website do not respond or send money to the "Act Now" request by TakePart.com. TakePart.com: Social Action Network is a SSP organization like ultra radical MoveOn.org: Democracy in Action. TakePart states your Charlie Wilsons War (CWW) donation will go to Fulfilling Charlies hope of rebuilding Afghanistan and supporting causes that help veterans through Roots of Peace.org, which is another SSP front organization. In my and other highly knowledgeable individuals opinions, and it is only our opinions, the purpose of both SSP CWW related organizations are fraudulent and your donations will go directly to funding Democratic candidates, along with SSP agendas that are destroying our great Country. The Soros Shadow Party criminal enterprise has a well established history of using "public causes, such as this one, Al Gores fraudulent man-made global warming movie, and others, to obtain donations to their 501(C)(3) tax exempt non-profit organizations so they don't have to FEC disclosure donations sources. They then illegally funnel the money to Democrat's campaigns and other SSP political interests and front-operations. - FlAttorney |
