I have been waiting for this documentary since I saw Morgan Spurlock at SXSW last year, when he was there presenting What Would Jesus Buy?, a documentary about Reverend Billy & The Church of Stop Shopping's crusade against conspicuous consumption.

This from Apple.com's trailer park :

If Morgan Spurlock has learned anything from over 30 years of movie-watching, it's that if the world needs saving, it's best done by one lone man willing to face danger head on to take it down, action hero style. So, with no military experience, knowledge or expertise, he sets off to do what the CIA, FBI and countless bounty hunters have failed to do: find the world's most wanted man. Why take on such a seemingly impossible mission? Simple-he wants to make the world safe for his soon to be born child. But before he finds Osama bin Laden, he first needs to learn where he came from, what makes him tick, and most importantly, what exactly created bin Laden to begin with.

Go to the site and check out the nod to Indiana Jones, Mad Magazine, Where's Waldo? and "Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?"

OMG ... My pop-culture epithalamus just exploded.

Obviously dead. Either that or he has been in Crawford, TX enjoying all the fruits of being associated with that crazy wacky monkey that 51% of you myopic brainless excuses for grown ups voted for.

Osama Bin Laden is a figment of your imaginations.

The FBI admits they have no hard evidence linking him to 9/11. The three skyscrapers that collapsed that day were clearly demolished with explosives that "al Qaeda" (whatever that is) could have set (see Architects and Engineers for 9/11 truth at http://ae911truth.org .) The FBI also has tacitly admitted that Barbara Olson did not call her husband Ted Olson as he claims, and this in the only thing even resembling a real trial related to 9/11, that of Zacharias Moussaoui alleged "20th hijacker" and confirmed clown. Transportation secretary Norman Mineta and "Terrorism Czar" Richard Clarke both agree that Cheney lied to the 9/11 Commission about not being in the PEOC until 9:58, a lie the Commission accepted as truth in its report.

At what point do people stop pretending that it is not plain as day that 9/11 was the biggest hoax perpetrated on America since the "surprise" attack on Pearl Harbor?

I've been asking the same question since 2002

I also have a few other questions. Let's start with "Why should NATO have to pull it's weight in the WOT when in fact the US created the terrorists all on their own?" To back this up let me point out that the US armed and backed Saddam Hussein at the same time he was gassing his own people. What did Ronald Regan do? Turned a blind eye because Saddam was an ALLY. Or how about the years and years of the US arming and training Usama Bin Laden and the Mujahadden to fight "The good fight"(sic) against the Soviets. And while I am always ready to help a friend in need, I have to say, YOU created this mess so YOU clean it up and stop asking the rest of the world to fix YOUR mistakes. As a matter of fact why don't YOU stay home and play in your own sandbox because we, being the rest of the western world, don't like dictatorships or Bully nations.

Here are some more questions. Why did the US turn it's back on the hunt for Bin Laden? Why did the US send 5 times as many troops to Iraq, when there were no terrorists pre-invasion, instead of ramping up efforts in Afghanistan? Why is it, that it is NATO's responsibility to pull their weight in Afghanistan, when 160,000 US troops are in another country fighting a bullshit war of oppression?

George Bush worked the entire world into a frenzy over terrorism. He started a war in Afghanistan to fight it, and then told the world it was our responsibility to fight terror on his behalf. And then, when we do help, he walks away to Iraq, leaving very minimal troops levels in Afghanistan, and tries to punish Iraq for crimes committed 20 years ago under US watch.

Expose the 9-11 Conspiracy Theory!

The Bush regime's official account of 9-11 is the most rediculous conspiracy theory ever. The blogger who wrote about it being simple to debunk is totally correct. And David Ray Griffin's newest book on 9-11 is a perfect resource for getting people over the fear of being labled a conspiracy theorist. It contains NO theories, only facts taken from major media after the events. These facts expose shocking contradictions in the gov'ts story as they changed the story several times. The book is "9-11 Contradictions: An Open Letter To Congress and the Press", and it analyses the 25 best knee slappers.

9-11 Truth can bring these murderers to justice. The whole world is ready to scream this! The hundredth monkey is about to jump and we all have to help.

And no, the FBI has NO hard evidence connecting OBL to 9-11. Who knew?
