Default The Rise Of Evil

Anybody catch the series? I did and thought it was very well done and, actually, quite disturbing in an unobvious way. The director definately had a message if you watched and listened closely. I am stunned that CBS aired it considering what I have just mentioned. Although, upon further thought, most of the cattle are completely incapable of realizing the message.

The director, without doubt, intended to imply a parallel between the burning of the Reichstag and 9/11. Both were staged events to leverage an agenda to curtail individual rights. I was blown away.

Do you mean that both of these events were staged deliberately? I'm confused on what you are saying.

Per the movie, Hitler and his henchmen planned the burning of the Reichstag and blamed it on a Dutch Terrorist. They used this deliberately concocted event to promulgate their campaign for the cessation of individual rights in the name of National Security. They essentially seized power and created a police state with National Security as their justification.

In the movie, Hitler shows up at the Reichstag after it has burned and declares that the Nation is in a state of emergency for which extreme measures are called to protect Deutschland. The words that emanated from Hitler's mouth during the movie sounded eerily simlar to the rhetoric used by Geoge Bush subsequent to 9/11.

Whether 9/11 was staged by Bush and his henchmen is conjecture at this point. I have no doubt, due to the evidence presented thus far, that Al-Qaeda was involved, but I am extremely skeptical about the masterminds. I don't think the masterminds were Al-Qaeda. I think Al-Qaeda were unwitting dupes in a twisted game of global chess.

Regardless of whether Bush and his henchmen did or did not deliberately plan and execute 9/11, the fact still remains that they have leveraged this event to justify their disturbing agenda and quite adroitly, I might add.

I have long believed that what the Hard Right (Bush and his puppeteers) have always wanted was a big terrorist attack on the US.

It would give them everything they wanted: an excuse to bloat the military, attack any country they wished, cut social spending at home, crack down on any dissenting opinions.

This is precisely what happened.

I don't know if Geo. W. and his masters knew about 9/11 in advance (there is some evidence they did), but they have certainly capitalized on it ever since.

Every day, Geo W. and his controllers must go down on their knees and give thanks for 9/11..

The first part was incredible.

The second part was horribly slanderous and historically inaccurate.

The guy who made that film was fired for that insinuation. Like the article says, it's odd that a guy who wanted to show how we are becoming similar to Nazi ruled Germany was fired for doing so -further proving that he is right on the money about the similarities.



"Rise of Evil" producer fired

I had heard that he was fired for vocalizing the similarities after he made the movie, but I did not realize that this was at least part of his focus when creating the movie. Now, it appears it was, to a certain extent. That is why I am surprised that CBS aired it. A bold move for a station that is normally reluctant to stick its head out.

Doesn't matter anyway, every 9 out of 10 people I have asked thus far have indicated that they did not watch it and had no interest in watching. American Idol is much more entertaining, afterall. Part and parcel of the problem, wouldn't you say?

Some folks have said that they didn't watch it because they heard that it glorifies Hitler. That couldn't be further from the truth. The propagandists spoiled this movie from the get go. How ironic, considering Hitler and Goerbels were the Masters of 20th Century Propaganda. A flawless paradigm for other Dictators to implement in the wake of the fall of Nazi Germany.

It would seem so since they have done almost everything that he wanted.The USA is leaving Saudi Arabia, and they removed Saddam from power in Iraq so that it can be turned into an Islamic state. Bin ladin must be quite happy now.
