The Path to 9/11 is an ABC mockudrama that blames Clinton for 9/11 and tries to make the Bush administration into heroes. It will be broadcast on ABC during primetime on 9/10 and 9/11 without any commercial interruptions less than two months before the November election. This effort was funded by an evangelical Christian film institute that is trying to “change Hollywood from the inside.”

So that’s what we’ve decided to do. Starting in July, along with our ‘normal’ discipleship efforts in YWAM, we will officially join The Film Institute – a new auxiliary branch of Youth With A Mission focused on tranforming film and television from the inside out. TFI’s first project is a doozy: simply being referred to as: The Untitled History Project, it is already being called the television event of the decade and not one second has been put to film yet. Talk about great expectations!
Our goal is to help filmmakers, actors, technicians, etc. realize their God given potential and purpose in perhaps the most influential sphere of modern culture – film and television.
3. The Film Institute = Youth With A Mission

Conference – Viva Latin America 2005
This was an international YWAM staff meeting which took place over 8 days in Belo Horinzonte. I arrived there earlier to help with the set up, and was actually working in 3 teams during the conference (Computers, Accomodation and Translation). It was a lot of work, but there was a lot of fruit and the conference was really a blessing for all of us. I translated a few seminars and really learnt a lot about the film industry with a team that had come from the US called “The Film Institute” or TFI for short.
The Broadcast/Cinema Focus Discipleship Training School aims to equip a generation of emerging filmmakers with the discipleship tools, life skills and professionalism needed to impact millions through motion picture communication.
Students in the Broadcast/Cinema Focus DTS will experience the standard format and curriculum offered at any approved Youth With A Mission DTS worldwide (see box at right). After successfully completing the 12-week lecture phase, students will be sent on overseas field assignments to produce film and television projects developed during the lecture phase. They also will engage in personal and team evangelism, joining forces with local churches and long-term missionaries on the field.
Core content of the DTS
In the first 12 weeks of the school outstanding speakers will teach you how to know God and make Him known:
� The character and nature of God
� Listening to God
� How to know and communicate God’s Word effectively
� Biblical world view
� Prayer, intercession, spiritual warfare
� Reconciliation
� Spiritual gifts
� God’s heart for the poor and needy
� Missions and evangelism
Meet your school leaders
Kenny Jackson was born and raised near Washington, D.C. After completing his DTS in the early 80s, Kenny served for nine years on staff with YWAM in Asia, based in Hong Kong. He took a break from full-time missions in order to complete his degree in Communication. After doing so, Kenny became a staff producer/director with the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), where he made evangelistic television movies, two of which received awards at Worldfest-Houston International Film Festival, and the CINE Golden Eagle Award, respectively. Today, Kenny is on the board of The Film Institute, and was recently appointed as International Dean of U of N’s College of Communication. He has assembled a great staff and guest instructors who combine years of professional experience in film and television production, along with frontline service in YWAM and other Christian mission organizations.
Invitation
If you are serious about allowing the Lord to use either your professional background in film and television, or your God-given desire to learn, don’t miss this opportunity. Apply today!

1) “Liberal media”
2) Disney (ABC & ESPN) won’t distrubute Fahrenheit 9/11 summer 2004 because it politicizes 9/11 in an election year.
3) Disney (ABC & ESPN) broadcasts radical evangelical group funded The Road To 9/11 without commercials on network TV on the (eve of and) fifth anniversary of 9/11 in 2006, much closer to an election than when they forbid distribution of a $120 million grossing domestic motion picture release just two years earlier.

ABC/Disney and Scholastic, Inc. Solicits Teachers to Peddle Lies with “The Path to 9/11”

100,000 letters apparently were sent to high school teachers so they may collude in this travesty and only muddle the real history behind the tragic day of 9/11. Scholastic, Inc., known to children nationwide as the home of “Clifford, the Big Red Dog” is the catalyst behind the mailing. Go to the Scholastic website and you may download the “Setup and Prepare lessons” for September 7th and 8th. There is a follow-up lesson for 9/12.

Reclaiming The Issues: Islamic Or Republican Fascism?
by Thom Hartmann

Posted by: beq | Sep 8 2006 13:57 utc | 10

bagdikian in his first ed. of media monopoly declared 50 corporations controlling the mediascape. this number hasn’t changed much. still, about 50 main players. and anyone reading benjamin compaign’s tirelessly edited who owns the media? walks away w/ the feeling that ownership is a poor map of the media wasteland.
ownership concentration is not in-itself an evil. look at the extraordinary content diversity/quality of state-maqnaged media in europe in the 70s and 80s. kieslowski films on polish tv. the problem, as dallas smythe noted long ago, is the commodification of audiences–the sale of audiences to advertisers–creates homogeneous content.
bagdikian:

The same dollar spent by a new competitor did only one thing: It attracted new customers. Thus, not only did the newcomer lack a body of existing customers to help finance an ad campaign but new ads were less efficient than the ads for the established firm. Mass advertising with huge budgets introduced a new factor in selling: It began to prevent competition.
Mass advertising could negate the classical theory of supply and demand, which held that success in the marketplace would automatically attract new sellers who would lower prices and keep established sellers from raising their prices to exploit the rush of business. It was a theory that worked in Adam Smith’s village square full of farmers selling the same kinds of products to housewives who could test the product by squeezing, smelling, and tasting and who could haggle among the merchants. It was a theory that began to evaporate when the village square was replaced by large, distant corporations making complex products that could not be judged directly by the average consumer-products like automobiles or medicines, or products with purely emotional differences, like perfume, or categories of products that are the same, like aspirin. It is with these products that mass advertising can produce brand loyalty based not on the collective experience of consumers but on the cleverness and persistence of advertising. If a product fails to meet expectations or is considered overpriced, a large advertising campaign reduces the likelihood that a new competitor will enter the scene.
The emotional direction of the advertising can shift consumer [146] attention away from the disliked characteristics of the product, or a campaign can sweep the field before a nonadvertising competitor can win approval.

this thesis has been worked over by many bright analysts, but my favorite is c. edwin baker’s timeless give the audience what it wants.
the materialism of culture, commodified by capitalism, is the problem, not necessarily ownership control.

@ conchita – I was happy to see this morning that the link and email I sent out to friends yesterday has rippled like a pebble in a pool.

Kinda tough to feel sympathy for Clinton’s administration in all of this, although I’m sure the Reaganites’ arming of OBL and Company will not be covered. Nor will Iraqi sanctions, Israel/Palestinians issues.
So what happens? ABC pulls the plug and recent history is off limits to any major studio production. It also perpetuates the myth that history is just a matter of opinion.
I doubt most Americans have the attention span to sit through five hours of anything except traffic and Superbowls.

The YWAM connection is just too much. Hiding behind a religious charity to make a propaganda movie is part of the “too much to believe” factor that keeps the Rove machine from justice. It is so absurd that when it becomes public, no one believes it. It reminds me of the national yawn that followed when Bush’s close relationship to cult leader Sun Myung Moon became public or when Gorenfield broke thet story of Moon having himself crowned “King of the United States” in the Dirksen Senate Offices. Its as though there is a inverse relationship between the size of the scandal and the amount of public reaction. It came our recently that no less than a dozen journalist were paid to right anti-Castro articles by the Bush administration. No one cares. And that is frightening.

Maybe the seige and plundering of Iraq ‘is’ about ‘oil’ to the Neo-fascists but for the Psycho-in-Chief it’s strictly a Religious war.

debating the political impact of media consolidation, with the majority opinion seeming to be that it was no big deal.
Guess again.
Not this blogger. But many Americans and fools cannot see how ownership translates into control. Funny, all they have to do is LOOK. Too hard, I guess.
Oh, yes. All those choices centralization generates. Just like when I walk into a supermarket and can buy over ONE HUNDRED DIFFERENT KINDS of nearly identical potato chips. I feel so free I can hardly even begin to describe it.
