9/11 Film-Makers Slam 'Cashing In' Claims

Film-makers working on OLIVER STONE's upcoming 9/11 movie WORLD TRADE CENTER have slammed claims they are cashing in on the 2001 terrorist attacks, insisting the movie is about heroism. World Trade Center, which stars NICOLAS CAGE, tells the story the last two people found alive in the rubble of the collapsed twin towers, and their rescuer. Some relatives of people who died have spoken out against Stone's film, because they do not want to relive their initial pain following the attacks. But producer MORITZ BORMAN says, "I know there is one widow out there who didn't want it to be made because she felt it was too painful to see her husband die. But I am convinced that when she sees it she will be resolved. "We never went out to explore the whole story of 9/11 and its impact on America and the rest of the world. "Nobody went into this film and thought this was the explanation for why 9/11 happened or its geopolitical impact. It's a tale of heroism."

	Stentorb Grow up, pull your head out of your backsides. Anyone who claims 9-11 was an inside job, a Mossad plot, etc., needs psychological help. --------------------------------- STENTORB, HOW ABOUT YOU WAKE UP AND PULL YOUR NOSE OUT OF BUSH'S BACKSIDE! ANYONE WHO HAS THE PATHETIC AUDACITY TO SUPPORT THE OFFICIAL FAIRY TALE PERTAINING TO 9/11 IN THE FACE OF FACTS DENYING IT IS MENTALLY CHALLENGED. ---------------------------------- 9-11 was a dose of reality that should have snapped you out of your black helicopter-induced fantasy world. The world is a dangerous place and manypeople want to kill Americans (even before Bush took office). They even want to kill you, the enlightened ones, no matter how much you sympathize with these murderers and twist the facts around to justify their actions. -------------------------------------- I AGREE 9/11 WAS A DOSE OF REALITY. IT PROVIDED A WAKE UP CALL FOR THOSE BRIGHT ENOUGH TO CATCH ON TO THE FALSE FLAG TERROR OPERATIONS BEING CARRIED OUT ON AMERICAN CITIZENS. I'M NOT SAYING THERE AREN'T ISLAMIC TERRORISTS - THERE ARE. HOWEVER THEY DO NOT HAVE THE CAPABILITIES TO ACCOMPLISH COMPLEX MISSIONS ON THE SCALE OF 9/11.IF YOU BELIEVE THEY ARE CAPABLE OF SUCH CAMPAIGNS THEN YOU MUST BE THAT GUY WHO PURCHASES OCEAN FRONT PROPERTY IN ARIZONA. DAMN!!!! --------------------------------------- George Bush has driven you all insane. Until recently, it was slightly amusing to see you all attack the president, come up with outrageously nutty explanations for world events, and all come to an agreement on how it is all Bush's fault. ---------------- WHO IS BLAMING BUSH? HE DOESN'T HAVE SENSE ENOUGH TO CLEAR HIS BOWELS EACH MORNING. HE IS A PUPPET BEING PARADED AROUND BY HIS NOSE. YOUR COMMENTS SHOW YOU ACTUALLY KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT 9/11 TRUTH. ------------------- They first attacked us in 1993 and continued to do so until now. No one's really at fault for underestimating their resolve,bnot Clinton nor Bush, until after 9-11. Now anyone who does not see this for what it is, an attempt to roll back Western society's progress since the Enlightenment, is dangerous, and those who campaign to convince others of such is a danger to society at large. These useful idiots are more than idiots--they are unwittingly undermining any efforts to stop the advance of people who want us all dead or converted to Islam. Those who deny this do so at their peril--one need only to listen to any al-Qaeda statement or press release to find out what they're after. ----------------------------- ONE NEED ONLY LISTEN TO MINUTES FROM ANY BILDERBERG MEETING TO SEE WHAT THEY ARE REALLY ABOUT. WAKE UP JUNIOR. THE ONLY ONES POSING A THREAT TO THE TRUE SOVEREIGNTY OF THIS NATION ARE THE ONES STILL BELIEVING THE BULLs**t BEING SPEWED BY FOX, CNN AND THE LIKE. YOU CALLED US THE ENLIGHTENED ONES IN YOUR PREVIOUS PARAGRAPH. WELL, DON'T FORGET WHAT DARWIN SAID ABOUT THE FITTEST.I'M SURE OUR FOREFATHERS ARE ROLLING IN THEIR GRAVES LOOKING AT THE GARBAGE AMERICANS SUCH AS YOURSELF ARE WILLING TO SWALLOW. NO WONDER THIS COUNTRY IS IN PERIL. ---------------------------- This is not the type of thing that one can cure with sympathy for the aggressors or a candlelight vigil. The aggressors make no distinction between liberals and conservatives, atheist and Christians. They hate you because you are an American, no matter who you voted for. --------------------------- I AGREE. THIS IS THE FIRST CORRECT STATEMENT YOU HAVE MADE, WELL EXCPET FOR YOUR LAST SENTENCE. THE TRUE 9/11 CULPRITS HATE US BECAUSE WE OUT NUMBER THEM. THEIR HEGEMONIC PLANS ARE IN PERIL WITHOUT OUR SUBMISSION. IF YOU TRULY BUY THAT OLD SONG AND DANCE THAT WE WERE ATTACKED BECAUSE OF OUR FREEDOMS THEN YOU NEED TO HEAD BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD. MONEY IS SO MUCH MORE A DRIVING FORCE IN THIS SCENARIO THAN ANYTHING TO DO WITH JEALOUSY OF FREEDOM.FOLLOW THE MONEY TRAIL NOT THE FREEDOM JEALOUSY CRAP. -------------------------------- Your parents should have disciplined you at least once--you are a spoiled brat trying to get attention. In order to speak truth to power, you must first speak truth. In order to know truth, you need to become objective and look at the facts. Until you do so, you and your brethren need a good spanking. ----------------------------- YOUR PARENTS SHOULD HAVE CUT YOU OFF THE NIPPLE SOONER. YOU SURE SEEM TO BE CRYING FOR THAT PROTUBERANCE AS IF THE TRUTH IS JUST TOO PAINFUL FOR YOU. YOU SUCKLE AT THE BREAST OF THIS COUNTRY AND BELIEVE ANYTHING YOU ARE TOLD JUST AS LONG AS YOU CAN KEEP DRINKING YOUR MASTER'S MILK. ----------------------- Trying to outdo each other with your outrageous statements of hatred for America and its president is not discourse. It is sour grapes, misplaced anger, and, in many cases, insanity. The rhetoric has escalated to the point that some of you are aiding the enemy, whether intentionally or not. Freedom of speech does have limitations, as does freedom of the press. ------------------------------ YOU ARE THE ONE HATING ON YOUR COUNTRY. IF YOU ARE A WILLING PARTICIPANT IN WHAT HAS BEEN PROVEN FALSE (THE OFFICIAL STORY) THEN YOU ARE AN ACTIVE PARTCIPANT IN MAKING THINGS WORSE.YOU AE THE ONLY ONE AIDING THE ENEMY WITH YOUR PROPAGANDA AND FAUX PATRIOTIC STATEMENTS. ----------------------------- 9-11 was an unprovoked attack with tragic results for all of us. It would serve you all to remember how you felt that day, in the time before the Left politicized the tragedy. When the history of this time is written, you will again find yourself on the wrong side, as you were with communism. Just be thankful you live in a society that does not kill you for speaking ill against its leaders (or for being gay or not having a beard or drawing a picture of Muhammed). You should thank God for this (if you didn't think that belief in God was for idiots) and for people who are willing to fight for our rights and well-being. If you're looking for a conspiracy, look at who is footing the bill for the peace movement. Look at who fought to avoid removing Saddam from power and why. While your at it, take a long look at yourself in the mirror. What would your grandparents think of you? I think you know the answer. . . That is all. . . ---------------------- YA, THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ALL BEFORE YOU EVEN STARTED THIS POST. YOUR LAST PARAGRAPH OR SO IS MORE OF THE SAME. IT'S HONESTLY NOT EVEN WORTH COMMENTING ON. PERTAINING TO MY GRANDPARENTS THEY ARE PROUD OF WHAT I DO, YET ARE CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY. MY GRANDFATHER FOUGHT IN WORLD WAR II AND MY FATHER SERVED IN THE MILITARY AS WELL. I COME FROM A LONG LINE OF MILITARY MEN AND I AM SUPPORTED IN MY PURSUIT BY MY FATHER AND GRANDFATHER.

	IF TERRORISM IS SO REAL, WHY ARE THE BORDERS OPEN TO THE INVASION OF 3 MILLION UNIDENTIFIED ILLEGAL ALIENS PER YEAR? DOESN'T THE WHITE HOUSE WORRY THAT SO CALLED TERRORISTS WOULD INVADE THE COUNTRY AS WELL? WHY DO ALL OF THE TARGETS IN THE SO CALLED WAR ON TERROR ALSO HAVE SOME OF THE BIGGEST OIL RESERVES IN THE WORLD? WHY DOESN'T THE U.S. HASSLE A REAL THREAT LIKE NORTH KOREA LIKE THEY DO IRAN? BECAUSE NORTH KOREA POSSESSES NO OIL RESERVES, THATS WHY. THE PEOPLE RUNNING THE WHITE HOUSE ALSO WANTED INTO AFGHANISTAN, IRAQ AND IRAN LONG BEFORE 9/11. THE WHITE HOUSE KNEW OF THE 9/11 PLOT WELL IN ADVANCE AND DID NOTHING TO STOP IT. THE FBI EVEN ADMITS THEY AREN'TSURE WHO THE HIJACKERS WERE AND IT'S A FACT THAT THE ALLEGED PILOTS WERE KNOWN TO BE TERRIBLE PILOTS. AND ON AND ON AND ON. LOOK THIS STUFF UP YOURSELF AND STOP LISTENING TO FOX AND TALK RADIO FOR ALL YOUR INFO.
