So regardless of whether it's a good or bad film, the right or wrong time to release it, and true to the facts or embellished, United 93 is fueling quite a lot of talk. i will admit, I have not seen it, and considering that i only made it through the first 20 minutes of Monsters Ball (granted, a very different film)before breaking down in hysterics and having to physically remove myself, I probably won't . I know tragedy deep in my bones, and I seem unable to keep that protective "4th wall" in place with big tragic movies...

Anyhoo, as you all know I'm also fascinated by government shadow organizations, and prone to disbelieve the drivel fed to us as patriotic truth. I like to dig, i like to question. I like to draw parallels all the way back to the founding of this country and before. So I am interested intellectually in the United 93 story. I went on to IMDB.com to see if I could sniff out which government agencies provided financing by following the names of the Executive Producers (British, actually) etc, you know, just nosing around. What I actually found was a very lively chat board, full of people from both sides of the conspiracy debate. Note: I wish we could stop calling the search for alternative explanations "conspiracy."

So follow the link if you like. Here's a juicy tidbit that caught my eye. Especially because I've actually READ the once Top Secret JCS plan that they refer to in the following entry:

"The original plan was written in 1962 by the JCS and was called Operation Northwoods. It was a pretext for starting a war with Cuba. Kennedy, who was president refused to go along with the plot and fired the JCS Chairman and later the CIA director for even conceiving such a diabolical plot to kill Americans using fake terrorist attacks by crashing airplanes as a pretext for war. All these morons in the Bush Administration did was implement that same plan forty years later. "

I wish I still had the full JCS report, I'd scan you all some pages. It really is eerily similar. and pretty fucked up that our government was actually planning to do this once before, as CONFIRMED in the JCS document.
