The lie heard around the world changed the course of history immeasurably. America officially lost her way.

then maybe we could have some intelligent conversations about US foreign policies.

My group Peace Fresno is in it.. they are the ones with cookies.

I moved to MN and became a member of WAMM (women against military madness).. and just before the RNC in St Paul in 2008, the joint terrorism task force.. spied on WAMM

and in 2014, the local joint terrorism task for spied on "Black Lives Matter-MN" and a group I'm with CUAPB "Communities United Against Police Brutality"..

3 groups in 12 years.. spied on.

Amazing that you were in the Fresno group. Thanks for sharing.

I've always appreciated your posts here.

Sorry to hear your groups have been treated with such disrespect.

9. Too Bad

Too Bad our group of like-minded people are the only ones who will even re-watch this! I wish this would be re-shown in the theaters! Not that the Fox news viewers would ever go see it, but maybe there would be more talk about it if it were being played on the big screen today.

10. "How Bad It Was"??

I don't think that things have improved. We've had 14 years of neocons running the State Department. Whistleblowers are more censored and secrecy is greater than the Bush era. Obama has expanded the war efforts with fewer boots on the ground and more drone strikes. Furthermore the peace movement has been neutralized.

We're seriously kidding ourselves if we think this has been fixed in any way.

11. We've forgotten just how obvious it was. Now I'm as mad as 2000, all over again.

They let this happen, and then turned around, with the aid of FOX, to make Americans (stupid ones) think that they were big defenders of security.

This is not completed yet. There must be accountability, no matter how long it takes.

And I'm only 22 minutes into the film.

never got any traction on this yesterday, but I think my video (albeit my first armature attempt at such a thing) is pretty good...

At 17 minutes, reading "My Pet Goat"... that moment is the best in the film.

A great deal of the rest of the film is just very painful to watch, but so well done.

these absolute lies and the wars brought to us by the same, AND the financial ruin (etc.) we continue to deal with.

Let us truly NEVER forget.
