Why the far right is trying to keep Americans from seeing Fahrenheit 9/11
... and the lies, frauds and deceptions they're using -

The issue then becomes, is the movie accurate?
Do the Saudis own 7% of this country?
Does the President’s family have deep ties to the Bin Laden family?
Did the President arrange for the Bin Laden family to be flown out of this country on 09/13, while there was a ban on flights, and then lie about it for two years?
Have they made the billions of dollars from the Saudis that Moore asserts?
Did the Taliban meet with GW Bush in the late 90s to discuss a pipeline through Afghanistan?
Did GW Bush sit in that classroom reading My Pet Goat while we were under attack?
Did he use macho tag lines, while soldiers were dying, such as bring em on and we’re gonna smoke em out?
Did the White House really turn over the President’s military records with the name of James Bath crossed out with marker?
Did the Patriot Act get passed without being read?
Did Halliburton make billions upon billions of dollars in no-bid contracts from this war?
Is that profiting, from a war, which some are calling war profiteering?
Was the man GW Bush named to run Afghanistan, Hamid Karzi, a consultant for Unocal, the same company that wanted that infamous pipeline?
Did Bush spend 42% of his first year on vacation?
Did he not read the intelligence briefings, which may have tipped him off to 9/11?
Were the soldiers lied to about how long they would be in Iraq?

These are just some of the facts asserted in this movie and I challenge anyone to actually prove any of these wrong.

I understand that the right desperately wants to prevent the American people to connect the dots, but that does not take away from the credibility of the film. They can parse words and confuse the issues but at the end of the day, these are facts and they are not disputable.

Fun fact: Fahrenheit 911 has set record for documentary films, and has beaten studio estimates, making $23.9 million over the weekend. Now officially the top grossing documentary of all time after only 3 days.
