August 22, 2002 -- Vivendi-Universal is bankrolling a new documentary defending anti-American terrorism - and a second media conglomerate, Viacom, is sponsoring the flick's red-carpet premiere in Toronto on Sept. 11.

The film, "11'09"01," consists of 11 Sept. 11-themed shorts, several of which are being described as "stridently anti-American," that a Vivendi-Universal subsidiary commissioned from a team of international directors.

Just out of curosity, how did Tony Blair get elected?

The same way Bill Clinton did.

[Mr. Mojo]

Red-faced officials at Viacom.....did not return calls seeking comment.

Red-faced? As if they were surprised by the film's contents?

Time to take names of everyone involved and start raising hell.

[AmishDude]

we will allow the brits to keep their socks on.

LOL! No searches, please, we're British.

[LarryLied]

The most pathetic threads I've read in a long time. The French did it...lol

Nobody wants to talk about Viacom much. What South Park recently did and the incident at St. Pat's cathedral this week. Oh no....the CEO of the company sponsoring this and other disgusting events has nothing...NUTHING...to do with anything. In fact, we don't even know who he is, do we?

The French did it!

[KC_Conspirator]

The premise of this film is garbage on its face. The big lie told by the anti-Americans is that the radical islamists hate America because of its foreign policy. Thats not the truth. The truth is that radical islamists could not care less about the assassination in Chile, but they are very motivated by the sick liberal culture that tells there women to dress and act like whores.

[The Toad]

Someone else talks about "the civilizations destroyed by the U.S."

Oh, really?

Name one....

[Michael2001]

Disgusting. I just hope more Americans find out about this.

[Constitutions Grandchild]

Just a guess, but Native Americans, enslaved African Americans.

[weegee]

Perhaps they'll include an interview with this woman among the films.

[Honorary Serb]

....Vivendi-Universal....

This is NOT an American company, but a multinational vaguely "Euro-American" company, with NO LOYALTY WHATSOEVER to any nation-state!!!!

Vivendi-Universal is truly a New World Order outfit. Just like the Third Way and other NWO politicians that carry out the NWO's political and military aims, the NWO media moguls have a not-so-secret alliance with islamic radicals, which serve as the thug arm of the whole multinational conglomeration!!!!

Having a bunch of decadent, spiritually vacuous mutlinational media types foist off their glorification of islamofascism and expoitation of the victims of 9/11 on the general public is SICKENING IN THE EXTREME!!! These are the same malefactors who make movies in which the Serbs are always the bad guys, and they do much else to undermine anything to do with Christian civilization.

I want to ask you all a question.

In a popularity contest among all the nations of the world, who would win "favorite nation" of all the so-called 1st World Nations?

Who would be most likely voted "least favorite nation" of the all of the so-called 1st World Nations?

Which nations would be ranked as the top three worst nations of the 1st World?

Which nation has the most applications for citizenship and "green card" living privileges?

Which nation offers the best ready healthcare and welfare benefits to immigrants?

Which nation has a national policy of "political" asylum for those fleeing countries in which there is a real or perceived threat to one's "life, liberty and pursuit of income"?

thank you for answering this questionnaire....

Do you really believe Smith is going to be the next PM?

Yes, for a very simple reason. If our history proves one thing it is not that Oppositions so much win elections that Governments lose them. All IDS has to do is stand up and not suddenly come down with Tourette's Syndrome.

I am not trying to be confrontational, but I wish I could share your optimism. My admittedly cursory reviews of British media, even conservative papers, indicate the Tory party is in long-term decline.

In fairness it's mixed. The Telegraph has consistently supported IDS and saying he's doing the right things. And there have been times when the Tories caught Labour in the polls; the last local elections earlier this year saw some good gains for the Tories as well.

IDS need only wait for the Tonester and Labour to self-destruct, which is what historically Labour Governments do.

Thank heavens your countrymen in general are sensible. England doesn't deserve being stuck with the EU.

It's always the way, an irrational minority is more vocal than the sensible majority. I've heard a lot of people say things like "England is doomed in left wing hell" because all they see are the fools. Yet at the same time, when a foreigner looks at America, your fools - Carville, Clinton, et al, are always the loudest representatives of your country. It's a bit different now with President Bush in charge, of course.

But while there are problems, we have to approach it as if it is not the end of days - otherwise there is nothing to fight for. Overblown hysteria one way or another is unjustified. Just remaining calm, determined, forceful and persistent leads to victory. If we can maintain that, I have little doubt things will turn for both our countries.

Regards, Ivan

[nonstatusquo]

I hope England will fight once again and get itself out of the EU, which seems more and more a communist coalition to me (but what do I know?)......


take care....

Lets be clear, Sumner Murray Rothstein, now Sumner Redston, born Boston, MA in 1923 has spent his whole life attempting to disguise his jewishness. Those who know him well believe he would sell Palestinians the bullets to kill Sabras if he could make money on the deal.

I will say, that, while at Heathrow recently, I picked up several London papers, and read about Labor scandal after Labor scandal, the best of which was about some ludicrous Multiculti official losing his job after a drunken tirade against a couple of bobbies. These types of incidents can only help IDS.

[Phillip Augustus]

His priority right now appears to be promoting "diversity" as seen at MTV beach parties, and I DO mean "diversity" in the most intimate manner possible.
