Disney still keeping public from REAL 9/11 truth
Modern Conservative ^ | September 11, 2008 | Mr.EPluribus

Blocked, in the name of huh???
By Mr.EPluribus

Though it goes without saying (but shouldn't), today marks the seventh anniversary of the vicious attacks on the United States by Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda. Though not as delicate an anniversary, it should also be said that today marks the third anniversary of the last time the general public got to see The Path to 9/11, ABC television's two-night miniseries that chronicled the years leading up to this generation's day of infamy.

So, you may be asking, why can't we see this amazing piece of filmmaking? How can the powers-that-be at ABC (and its corporate owners, the Walt Disney Company) ignore the fact this highly rated $40 million project, complete with an all-star cast boasting the likes of Harvey Keitel, Patricia Heaton, Stephen Root, William Sadler and many, many more, has an audience that wants to see this movie released on DVD?

These were some of the questions former radio talk show host John Ziegler also had when he set out to make Blocking the Path to 9/11, and we at Modern Conservative thank him for taking the time to speak with us about his project.

First, John, thank you, thank you, thank you for making Blocking the Path to 9/11. What inspired you to pull the mask down on what I consider one of the more egregious decisions Disney/ABC has made: not releasing the highly rated and excellently produced The Path to 9/11 miniseries? I mean, this is the studio/network that gave Sorority Boys, Cavemen and The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.

I saw this episode a grave injustice and an affront to free speech, the truth and the promise we all made after 9/11 to never forget and never let it happen again.

Though I think I know what the answer will be, how much cooperation did Disney/ABC give you when making your movie?

None. The (very liberal) ABC executive who really made the film wanted to do an interview but Disney did not allow him to do so.

Do you find it funny (non-ha-ha variety) that the liberal Senators who threatened to yank ABC’s FCC license were in the position of minority status at the time? How did they manage to throw around so much influence?

You have to remember that at the time is was presumed that Hillary Clinton would not just be the Democratic nominee in 2008, but the likely winner. And of course the new media is always on their side to begin with.

With Disney/ABC deciding to hide behind the excuse of “We won’t release this title as long as Hillary Clinton’s running for President,” A) Now that she’s no longer in the 2008 hunt (2012 TBD), why hasn’t the movie hit the shelves, why even air the miniseries in the first place; and B) Doesn’t their decision to block Path give a clear indication that Hollywood’s not as money-driven as they’d claim to be?

They probably think that if they release it now they will expose themselves as having had a political agenda. Yes, this situation proves that the liberal bias will sometimes trump even the profit bias.

What’s the reaction to Blocking the Path to 9/11 been so far?

Outstanding. It premiered to a packed house and standing ovation in Los Angeles. Lots of people in the business like Joel Surnow, Ron Maxwell, Lionel Chetwynd and Roger Simon love. it. The film really hits a nerve with people.

I see you’ve got a showing at the American Film Renaissance festival coming up on October 4th. Any other festivals on the horizon?

We are on the schedule at the Valley Film Festival in North Hollywood on September 27th.

Is there anything else you’d like our readers to know about Blocking the Path to 9/11?

This is an incredibly important story that every who cares about America ought be familiar with.

Blocking the Path to 9/11, a production of Citizens United, can be purchased through John's website.

Upon the death of Walt Disney, the Disney organization was slowly, slowly, piece-by-piece transformed, taken over, and transmogrified into the very thing that Walt Disney despised all his life.

It is now a shameless organ for all that is vile and wrong and ugly in Western society today. How long before we see a Disney feature: “David Loves Goliath”?

(apologies to John Kass)

Not long, i say: no doubt it is already on the drawing boards.

Disney Sucks! Don’t let your kids anywhere near any movies made by this child molestering organization.

Toy Story was just tolerable. All the rest suck.

Toy Story II was superior to the original. Wall E was one of the best American films of the last few years.

What exactly is the problem here?
I don't get my news on domestic or world affairs from Disney.
Not from hollywood.
Nor the entertainment industry generally.

In fact, I don't even rely on the "documentary" channels. They have degenerated into "godzilla" fantasy channels so far as I can see, even National Gographic, the History and the Science channels.

So what's the problem, exactly?

"Toy Story was just tolerable. All the rest suck."

Wow. Glad you're not a movie critic. Are you always this grouchy, or is it just today?

Seriously, Pixar films are some of the only animated works that I will even bother with.

In truth, I am quite grouchy today. Toothache. And Disney still sucks!

> Seriously, Pixar films are some of the only animated works that I will even bother with.

I’ve always got time for Popeye, Bugs Bunny and Donald Duck (esp. WW-II-era), Woody Woodpecker, Tom & Jerry, Wile E Coyote — a few others. Rocket Robin Hood.

Pixar? Pales in comparison to that which has gone before.

It’s as good as any animation of the last 45 years or so.

I have to agree. Walt Disney made Disneyland so children had a clean, safe place to go. He had taken his daughters somewhere and had been appalled at what he saw. Now Disney World has “Gay Day”. Mr Disney would be livid.

It exposes the Clintons in the lead up to 9/11.

Sorry about your toothache, those do indeed suck.

I also love the classic WB cartoons, but if you don't own them just try finding them on the tube these days (maybe on somewhere).

I'm commenting more about the feature length animated movies of this current era. In that class, I don't see anyone measuring up to Pixar (at least yet). I'm not all that hot about Disney myself. The one Disney movie (partly animated) that I would love to see again is "Song of the South", but the PC Nazis have banned it from public consumption. I was fortunate to get to see it in a theater as a child.

"Hyperbole Alert?"

Definately not!

I have to call a Deception Alert on your agenda. The Pixar films are amusing, but lacking in value, and intellectually defiling to the max.

You appear to be part of the problem.

My agenda is having good taste. The ‘Toy Story’ films and ‘Wall E’ are some of the best filmmaking to come out of Hollywood in the last 15 years or so. As for ‘intellectually defling’ Wall E recalls the work of Jacques Tati.

Absolutely. "Zippity-do-dah!"

What brings so many of you liberals here?

The front page clearly identifies this as a conservative site.
