Please pass this info on to people who live in the area.

Subj: New 9/11 Documentary to Premiere at Tribeca Screening Room on May 8th
Date: 04/21/2006 5:48:15 PM Eastern Daylight Time
From: [email protected] (Kyle F. Hence)



Please spread the word far and wide to your most valued and active
contacts. Support this new film from John Albanese to premiere on May
8th at the prestigious Tribeca Screening Room founded by Robert DeNiro.
I saw some of John's work on a film on another related subject and it
was sobering indeed and well done. Thank you.

Crisis in America

9/11 Truth and The Tribeca Film Festival
A Call for Unity in the 9/11 Truth Community

By: John J. Albanese -- www.crisisinamerica.org

Stand with me. Today’s editorial is a shameless plea for unity and
support. Time is short. Today’s headlines relentlessly warn us of a
pending nuclear crisis, and the deafening drumbeats of war, and the
inevitable clash of civilizations that threatens to devour us whole.
Never mind that the rhetoric swirling around the Iran crisis mimics the
rhetoric that swirled around the debacle in Iraq. Never mind that the
facts are being skewed once again. American foreign policy appears to be
executing a full-court press to conflict and oblivion.

And at the bottom of this rubble-heap of American foreign policy lies
the all but forgotten truth and hidden history behind the worst
terrorist attacks in American history.

“We will never forget,” we all vowed after 9/11. And we meant it. But
sadly, 4 1⁄2 years after the fact, 9/11 has already become
commercialized, dramatized and fictionalized by such Hollywood
confections as Universal Studio’s “United 93” and Oliver Stone’s “World
Trade Center.” And while we can debate endlessly the degree of
historical accuracy of these films, Hollywood has, for all intents and
purposes, turned the tragedy of 9/11 into entertainment for the masses,
and has tread upon our sacred vows.

But there are those among us who know that something is seriously wrong.
From the start, there are those among us who were not satisfied to
simply put their trust in the ‘official story.’ There are those among us
who now feel vindicated in this position because we have seen the lies
and distortions and omissions. And there are those among us now who are
prepared to FIGHT to preserve our right to continue to ask the relevant
question.

We must never acquiesce to the perceived social stigma that comes with
asking questions. The victims of this crime demand it. We must never
allow the simple act of demanding accountability to be equated with
“conspiracy theory.” We must be relentless in demanding answers, without
falling into the snake pit of competing factions of 9/11 Truth
activists. Whether you believe 9/11 was in inside job, or was simply
allowed to happen (on purpose), or you believe the WTC was demolished
with explosives, or the Pentagon was not struck by a commercial jet, or
even if you simply believe that the 9/11 Commission Report is glaringly
inaccurate and incomplete – UNITE NOW! Put down your theories and UNITE!

And so, it is towards this end that I humbly request your support. As
the Tribeca Film Festival gears up next week in the virtual shadow of
the missing WTC complex, one sole independent film will attempt to
present the heavily censored facts and unanswered questions of 9/11.
Premiering at the prestigious Tribeca Screening Room, founded by Robert
DeNiro, Everybody’s Gotta Learn Sometime will at long last bring the
9/11 Truth movement into the spotlight, and provide an important
milestone in the public’s ever-evolving understanding of the events of
that infamous day.

This film is not being screened solely for the benefit of those in
attendance. This event transcends the very film itself in that it simply
EXISTS. It is a statement of defiance, and anger, and challenges the
mainstream media to pay attention to the growing number of Americans who
are now demanding that these issues be allowed to see the light of day.

I ask you all to join me in supporting this project. I ask all of you
with websites and user groups and email lists and regional Meetups to
brazenly utilize every resource available to you to help promote and
sponsor and petition the public to recognize this event. It is time to
declare victory, simply because this film exists, and demonstrates that
this issue will not be silenced. Please join me in declaring the premier
of this film at the prestigious Tribeca Screening Room as the most
important film premier of 2006.

Towards this end, little blurbs about a 'film' showing in NYC is just
not going to cut it. We must either choose to fight the 9/11 Truth fight
to win - or choose to continue to just nibble away at the edges,
perpetually marginalized and minimized and showing our secret films in
secret church basements at localized events, without ever achieving the
breakout media event that could forever alter the public's perceptions.

I believe the Tribeca Film Festival offers us that opportunity.

The media is primed for a breakthrough on this issue. We are now seeing
the beginnings of celebrity endorsements, as Charlie Sheen and Ed Asner
have lent their voices to the call. The public is also ready. The polls
do not lie. We have a date with destiny. Just imagine the reverberations
of headlines such as these:

“Tribeca Film Festival Rocked by Independent 9/11 Film”

“Controversy and Passions Rise at Tribeca Film Festival”

“New York Responds to Hollywood”

“The Hidden History of 9/11 Premiers in Tribeca”

“Independent Film on 9/11 Eclipses United 93”

The odds have always been stacked against us. We need to make our own
luck. United 93 has the backing of millions of dollars, represented by
professional PR firms and advertising agencies and powerful corporate
interests.

What do we have?

We have heavily censored facts, lingering unanswered questions and
ultimately we have ourselves. I’m betting on us. Our questions are much
more powerful than any fiction Hollywood could ever hope to dream up.
And our numbers are swelling like the rising tide.

Please join me in declaring victory at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival.

1. I'm glad Tribeca provides another venue for getting these
important films out and viewed! I'd never even know about it if we were solely dependent on the corporate media.

4. I received this info by email from one of the net news sources I have
subscribed to. Otherwise, I wouldn't know about it either. It dawned on me to post it at DU because there are several NYC members here who also may not have heard about it.

Do you know about the NYC Meet-up groups and the regular meetings they hold? I have joined but so far have not attended any meetings.

8. No, sorry, I don't. I'm in TX and WISH I was in NY (I'm a native).
Here's a link for the meet-up in NY the end of April, and the NY forum might have add'l info.

2. Just more 9/11 Paranoid Conspiracy Theory Horse Manure.
Which serves the purposes of the regime very well.

Plainly, 9/11 was executed by invisible Jewish elves piloting flying saucers from Uranus.

You can't prove I am wrong.

12. The burden of proof is on you......
I am not in denial and I will listen to valid arguments.

If you have proof, present it; if it is valid, people will be compelled to agree.

That's what "proof" means.

Otherwise, you are just a member of another quasi-religious cult that knows the Truth, but can't convince all the unbelievers.

14. you are in denial and here is why
you have already accepted the official story...from your hostile posts it shows that you have already made up your mind. We have questions because the official story doesn't add up.
the proof will come in the form of an independent investigation to answer those questions.
and if you feel that it is unnecessary than you have drank the koolaid. If you feel it is unnecessary than you are closing your eyes to some very valid arguements. To not seek the truth is the greatest mistake we could make. And it is our truth movement that is gaining momentum, not the koolaid drinking mantra.

My guess is you know little about the subject...you just like to shoot everyone else down.

23. Proof? You have already dismissed the movie WITHOUT watching it.
Sounds to me like "proof" isn't something you are very interested in.

15. Well, what WOULDN'T serve "the purposes of this regime" sir?
Edited on Sat Apr-22-06 03:51 PM by calipendence
Just swallowing all of their B.S. and not ask for full investigation and explanation of all of these inconsistencies? It seems to some of us that NOT asking questions is the best way to serve the purposes of this regime...

If there was a conspiracy, and many questions remain that fuel speculation that there was, it might not even have been created by this regime. Then again it might have. I'm not willing to jump on the bandwagon that has all of the "answers" yet. But I am on the bandwagon that says we have a lot of questions that need answering! And if the administration had nothing to do with this conspiracy, or has the means to explain that it wasn't a conspiracy at all, wouldn't it serve their purposes of avoiding being considered "suspects" if they were to be more of a champion for a more thorough investigation into the truth, instead of hiding behind "state secrets", stonewalling the 9/11 commission, etc. like they've been doing?

Either they are likely (at least partially) complicit in this, or they are doing a very poor job of ensuring that we do know the truth of what happened to make us all feel secure that we have leadership that we can trust. There are many little things they could do that could "clear the air" (like releasing the surveillance videotape that was seized from that business across the street that was looking at the Pentagon, etc.) Given this admin's recognized skills at smearing others in politics, etc. at the leadership of Rove, that we've seen in other situations, I just don't buy the incompetency explanation, but who knows.

Whether they are criminally negligent or complicit, or just plain horrendously incompetent, America deserves to know the truth on how these bums are running our country!

16. What is the basis for your assesment?
The movie isn't even out yet, and the article does not discuss the contents of the movie.

So how can you be so sure it is "Paranoid Conspiracy Theory Horse Manure"?

And why do you bring up jewish involvement re 9-11?


I think the purpose of your statements is to try and discredit the 9-11 truth movement.

9. That is exactly why THEY do not want us to question anything that smacks
of being very obviously a lie.

Conspiracy! Conspiracy! CONSPIRACY!

Think about the words THEY yell whenever we begin to ask questions or disagree with policy.

PATRIOTISM!
GOD!
CONSPIRACY!

Their loyal base who could be hit in the face with the truth and still support this administration are the ones living in denial.

I am grateful for those who have the guts and the financial means to bring out these hidden facts regarding 9/11 and everything that has happened since that day.

11. At this point I want the facts not the rhetoric.
I stood in the Pentagon not long ago and looked out the window at the impact point. The person or persons who flew that plane/whatever into the door were competent pilots. The tour guides were well meaning but had few facts to share. Very very sad. By the way Donald Rumsfeld has a piece of the plane/whatever in his office as a souvenir.

21. 9-11 report wasn't allowed to be made public until AFTER 04 election
Bush/Cheney logic, this would hurt us, we're in the middle of an election. duh! one might think that this is precisely the point in getting this important news out to the american people.
