Filmmaker Calls 911 a hoax-
On Sept. 11 2001, filmmaker Paul Cross was doing post-production work in Washington DC when he heard about the "terrorist" attack. He visited thecrash-site just five hours after impact and couldplainly see the official story was a lie.
"There was no passenger jet wreckage; the lawn wasn't scorched; lamp posts, fences and constructionmaterials in the path of the jet were untouched." Cross told me. "If this was a hoax, then the attack on the World Trade Centre was also a hoax." Cross, 45, characterizes his pre-9-11 self as a "flag-waving patriot" who "voted Republican all my life."
He was crushed. "I love my country. I was in mourning for weeks, literally in tears for what has become of this country." He decided to alert his fellow citizens by making thefeature film "Severe Visibility" about a Pentagonaccountant, Major Stanley Kruter, who is slightlyinjured in the attack. He "has his head buried in the sand" but questions the official story when approached by a British investigative reporter.
Cross opted to make a feature instead of a documentary because he felt documentaries preach to the converted. He wanted to reach ordinary Americans who could identify with the cognitive dissonance his hero xperienced as he tried to comprehend the implications f the hoax and its mass acceptance. Cross raised over $500,000 from friends and family.
Many actors etc. wanted to participate and worked
for less. Cross wrote, directed and starred in the 90-min.feature. The film describes his own coming to termswith political reality. Cross insists he identifies with the investigativereporter, not Kruter. But in an uncanny way, his ownlife now resembles the accountant who refused topretend he saw a passenger plane. Cross can't find a distributor for the movie. He can'tget it shown at film festivals in the US.They say their corporate owners or sponsors would not permit it.
"I feel like I am in Nazi Germany the way some people in Hollywood are reacting to it. What is everyone so afraid of? Everyone seems to like the film but... most of the distribution companies I have approached.. .don't want to release a film with so strong a statement."
He can't get interviews or reviews in the mainstream press. This is tangible proof of how art and information are controlled in our supposedly "free"society.
(Many politically sensitive movies never see the light of day. For eg. director Henry Bean had to show his wonderful movie, "The Believer" about a Jewishneo-Nazi, to a rabbi and some matrons at the SimonWiesenthal Center in LA. They didn't like it and itnever reached theaters.)
Paul Cross has received hate mail, and death threats.
"The truth hurts," Cross says. "People can't face it." But the film has been embraced abroad. "The mediatells people the truth in other countries," he said.
Cross has joined the select minority of Americans who awoke on 9-11. We are the child who says the Emperor has no clothes surrounded by conformists who won't believe their own common sense and
eyes. The other 9-11 movies like "Flight 93" and "WorldTrade Centre" are propaganda. They perpetuate themyths that 9-11 shattered. Oliver Stone is a shadowof the man who made "Platoon" and "JFK." THE FILM "Severe Visibility" is hard to watch. Cross said hemeant it so. He wanted viewers to confront whathappened on Sept 11, 2001. He wanted them to mourn the innocent victims and the demise of freedom. The main character has a childish faith in his country. He addresses his diary to Thomas Jefferson as if the founding fathers were pristine. The dialogueand action are stilted. There isn't much of a plot andCross is pretty long-winded. Incongruously, Kruterdoesn't change the blood-stained bandage on hisforehead. I have passed the "cognitive dissonance" phase. Iwished Kruter had been less naive and had told his interrogators, "Hey, I wasn't looking out the
window." Christ said: "See, I am sending you out like sheepamong wolves. So be as cunning as serpents and asinnocent as oves." (Mathew 10:16) In spite of all this, the film is for some undefinable reason quite gripping. Kruter becomes a symbol of the much-lied-to and-abused American people. I was glad the film ended but I was also glad I had seen it. "Severe Visibility" contains a lot of informationabout the Pentagon attack.
For example, the 9-11 scenario had been rehearsed as a "terror exercise" numerous times. This is why the military allowed it to take place. (As if the "terrorists" would have beenprivy to this information. ) CONCLUSION We have been colonized by an alien financial power,the London-based central banking cartel and theirinstruments, the colonial elite: corporations,intelligence agencies, government, the two politicalparties, universities, Freemasons, the churches,organized Jewry, Marxist Jews; Neo Cons; feminists,foundations; think tanks, and of course the massmedia. The "truth will set you free" so they suppress it..That's why we must honor and support courageous ifflawed works like "Severe Visibility." The onlydeterrent against another false flag terrorist attack,possibly leading to martial law, is for everyone toknow the truth about 9-11. - _______________________________________________
