Report From United 93 NYC Premiere - 4/25/06
http://www.haloscan.com/comments/dazinith/114601632616311635/#93012

Was at the premier tonight at the Zigfeld theatre on 54th St., of the movie "Flt. 93" (sic)

People were given free tickets in order to fill the theatre, from what I understand by speaking to people waiting in line to get in. It was hard for me to understand how they would fill that theatre - 2000 seats, since so many people, at least among the world of people who go to premieres - (*get it*, the Hollywood Crowd) )(i.e. They're f***** up people who don't love America, remember? And don't generally think that Propaganda is High Art. ) - do not want to see this movie. But it sold out.

I suppose it must've been a hand picked crowd. Their worst nighmare would've been of some of us 911 Truth people getting a ticket. (Turn it into Rocky Horror Show and act out the parts. Or talk back to the screen - "He'd never say that" Or "Bullshit!" or at the end when the narrartor says, ~"And so began the War on Terror." ..."TRAITORS!"

So it looked as though there were buses bringing in people to see it. There were definitely buses and people who were lured in with the temptation of a "Free ticket." And also at the end a very long line of black rented town cars, like the kind I've come to know from my block for carrying government officials, diplomats, fancy corporate tourists...a very long line to big up the VIP's.

Everybody wants our fliers. It's amazing. In the restaurant we went to afterward, everyone wanted one. People were crowded around us jotting down the addresses to go on-line. Yesterday I was at the trial of the anti-war Grannies who were arrested for blovking the sidewalk near the recruiting office at Times Square...when I went in I had to check some stuff, the police were so friendly...one even said, "I want your button and laughed." My button says, "Impeach Bush" Everyone wants one. I told her I could make money with that button. I could. People stop me all the time, "Where did you get that?" "I want that button."

The 911 truth folk were barred from the sidewalk in front of the theatre. We were not allowed to flier on that side. There was a "pen" facing the entrance, on the other side of the street (it's is a rather narrow street). A banner was held up reading "Stop the Media 911 Blackout," which of course was not understood by people who are immersed in the dominent paradigm - "'Media Blackout over 911?' What does that mean? What is that for?" Someone approached me, I believe a British reporter, who had that peculiar, for me, lack of understanding of the banner, and wondered if I was part of "that group." - (Because, BTW, I will not enter a pen, so I stood apart from the group.) He said, "That group says the government did it." "Well yes," I replied, "if you look closely at the data, you have to come to that conclusion." He jumped back and scampered across the street, fast, as though I had the plague.

1. Got to hand it to the Neocons.
They figured out how to charge us for our own indoctrination.

2. Hmmmmmm
What indoctrination?

Your choice to go.
Your choice to pay to go.
Could always wait to see it on DVD for free at a friend's place.

But in the meantime use the "United 93" crowds as a leafletting opportunity.

4. The trick with indoctrination is that those who are being indoctrinated
don't know that they are being indoctrinated - otherwise the indoctrination wouldn't work. People aren't usually indoctrinated by their own choice - choice really has nothing to do with it.

That indoctrination.

So people who go see that movie do so by their own choice because they don't know they they are being indoctrinated, and in the process they pay for their own indoctrination.
