THE Joe Wilson donated for a copy of my Film "Rove's War"! I'm PUMPED!

[symbolman]

Having a GREAT DAY today!

Woke up this morning to discover that someone named Joseph Wilson had donated to receive a copy of my 2 DVD set film "Rove's War", the definitive Chronology of PlameGate on DVD that's at Takebackthemedia.com, our site..

Well, my wife looked into the address and email, etc and we discovered that, yep, it's THE Joseph Wilson, literally the STAR in my film (well, him and Congressman Conyers) - so that was very cool.. I wrote to him and thanked him for his class, his work and Patriotism and offered sympathy for the Trying times he and his lovely wife having been going through, and that I wasn't going to let him donated for a film about HIM :)

So that made my DAY - he and his wife are my personal HEROES and may change the political landscape and bring on the Nixxonization of BUSH CO, literally - this was one of the reasons that I flew from Hawaii all the way to DC to film the Downing Street Minutes Hearing held by Congressman Conyers (well, that, and the fact that at that point NO MEDIA was going to cover it), there are points in history that are crossroads, and I still think that THAT HEARING was a changing point, and of course our Hero Joseph Wilson was there (as well as Cindy Sheehan, another heroine, Ray McGovern, a great guy 27 years in the CIA, and John Bonifaz who's POUNDED the Bush Co Legally for a long time, and in the end may be responsible for the creation of what could led to Bush's Impeachment)..

These are Heady days my friends, let's hope we're witnessing the downfall of the Republican party, it takes a lot of pain to grow sometimes, and we've had the pain - now it's time to shed the SKIN and GROW, and the Skin we need to shed is BUSH CO :)


Plus firedoglake, who are the premier investigators on the whole Plame Outing were kind enough to have a look at my film and POSTED about both the "Rove's War" DVD set, and the "Merry Fitzmas" flash..
I have a feeling that Joseph Wilson probably reads firedoglake since they seem to have the BEST info on the Plame outing, and hey, THEY LIKED my film (H2OMan gave me a great review as well - he NAILED Hadley on another thread here) Here's the link to firedoglake:

http://firedoglake.blogspot.com/

It's brought to you by the same folks who did the Rove's War DVD(http://www.takebackthemedia.com), a really informative and well-researched 120 minute look at Traitorgate and everything they hoped to cover up in the "War on Wilson." Lots interesting bits -- ARAMCO has an oil tanker named "Condoleezza Rice," who knew? It's a very good primer for everyone who's still scratching their head and wondering how it all got so complicated.

They also mentioned the "Merry Fitzmas" Flash which I created, all the info is below, ENJOY if you haven't seen this :)

*******************************
Decorate YOUR FITZMAS TREE - an Interactive Animation

MERRY FITZMAS! I wanted a Fitzmas Tree ever since I heard the term invented on the Web, and NOW by god I have one, and you can too..

I have labored long and hard on this Interactive Animation (Flash - you may need the most recent flash plugin on your system - at least 6 I think, here's the Macromedia link for player/plugins: http://www.macromedia.com/downloads/#players ) - WHERE YOU can actually DECORATE YOUR OWN FITZMAS TREE, by dragging and dropping Ornaments and dropping them on the FITZMAS TREE - if an Ornament sticks to your "hand" it may be because of the slimy people encased within, just give it another mouse click on the tree to shake it off

There are two Flashes that interact with each other - one is the Fitzmas Tree itself, with a box FULL of decorations, the decorations being the Subjects of Indictments, Investigations, etc - something your Right Wing brother-in-law might be interested in knowing, lots of fun facts

If you click (click all over the page, lots of surprises on it) on the TITLE's of the Flashes you can go between the Tree itself, and another Flash that will load up with all the Decorations and an explanation of WHO they are, and WHAT they did.. for folks that don't know much about the Plame Outing they can get educated on the Ornaments and then click on back to the Tree and Decorate the Hell out of it

Here's two links, the first goes to the Fitzmas Tree itself, but like I said, you can click to the other Flash for more info, or a pal can get more info and Trim the Tree after.. Try this one First:

http://www.tbtmradio.com/flash/merryfitzmas.swf

or you can check out the Ornaments (but maybe miss some surprises where the Presents are) at This Link:

http://www.tbtmradio.com/flash/merryfitzmasornaments.swf

In case you're wondering what that building is in the background, it's the HAGUE, I thought it rather appropriate - and the guys in ORANGE, well, I think you'll recognize them

So ENJOY if you will, and do me a favor, keep this KICKED Please - a labor of love, but no sleep for about Three days either.. Pass it around to anyone you think might be interested, and Let me Know what YOU think of this work if you would..

And don't forget to open the presents under the FITZMAS TREE, I wrapped them special just for YOU..

1. Well deserved attention, symbolman.

[jeff30997]

2. Congratulations symbolman !

I'm really happy for you! :yourock:

[merh]

3. How wonderful for you dear symbolman.

I am so happy for you - you must be so very proud! :hug: :bounce: :woohoo:

Thanks for all of your hard work - one day I hope to order a set for myself, until then, I will continue to send our your link to everyone I can think of.


I hope you and yours are all doing well. :hug: :loveya:

4. Thank goodness for the internet where talent

can be recognized and rewarded without having to "pay homage" to the powers that control how talent is presented to the masses. Congratulations!!

[symbolman]

41. Remember the days when you'd have to MAIL

scripts, treatments, films, etc, etc and then wonder if they'd ever come back, knowing that it would take 8 WEEKS before anyone even possibly looked at your work and that you could have easily died of starvation by then?

Ahh those were the days :)

In a way I miss that.. like when your car would break down on a cross country trip and you'd have to WALK 20 miles in the rain, find a rip off mechanic, then go to a bar and wait, wondering if the tow truck driver was going to steal your car while you got loade because you were scared - but then you'd MEET people, ordinary folks and make friends with them, sometimes these strangers would go out of their way to HELP you and you'd actually have a REAL experience..

Cell phone killed a LOT of human interaction alone.

BUt I like reaching millions without some publishing house thinking, "Well.. this IS a little too, uh.. Crazy?" :)

[oldtime dfl_er]

5. congrats!!!

it's days like this that keep us going!

6. He's a hero, and provided me with a Christmas present.

Met him in November at a speaking engagement. He was passionate, erudite, engaged, angry, thoughtful, honest, courageous and extremely personable. Plus, he autographed a copy of his book to my girl friend, which she will get for Christmas. Congrats and thanks for your good work, symbolman. I am checking it out, and while I do that, I voted this a Greatest Thread.

[Seansky]

7. Very nice...This was a lifting comment...

[Big Kahuna]

8. Congrats, but

I take it your website doesn't have a privacy policy :)

[symbolman]

10. Since he's a pretty well known public figure

and I'm not handing out his email address or any personal contact information I'm sure he won't be too offended, if it was Mick Jagger I'd do the same thing..

Believe me, NO ONE will get any Contact info for Mr Wilson, a personal hero, from ME.

And I'd never post anyone else's info from HERE either.. does it violate privacy policies if someone here says, "I donated, thanks for your hard work" and said, "It's on its way.." ?

I consider this news from Takebackthemedia.com on a public figure, and yes, I DID thank him in an email, and send sympathies to his lovely wife, don't think he'll mind that either.

THANKS everyone, I thought it would cheer folks up, it did me, and that was my only intention :)

[Big Kahuna]

17. Heh, sorry

just being a wank :evilgrin:

[arcane1]

9. that's because, of course, you ROCK!!!

:yourock:

[OKNancy]

11. Wilson knows a class act when he sees one

kicked and recommended

[ewagner]

12. You are about to graduate

from minor celebrity to MAJOR CELEBRITY.

[flpoljunkie]

18. The media will not be able to resist your "Merry Fitzmas" tree.

It is a blast! Thanks for all your work!

[symbolman]

40. Man that would be great

Lear jets, dinner with Moore, snubbing Coulter :)

Thanks for the vote of confidence, just want the money so I can make more WORK for myself :)

[pbartch]

13. WAY TO GO

[nradisic]

14. Congrats

Man....DU Rules! It is a good day to be a Progressive American.

[gademocrat7]

15. Thank you. Your work is incredible and dead on balls accurate.

[livvy]

16. Wow! That is so cool!

I'm sure they will enjoy it. "Rove's War" is really well done! I can't wait to give a copy to my nephew this Christmas. I know he will love it, too.
The Fitzmas tree is excellent! I've decorated it twice already, and passed the link along. Good information, there, too.
Well done, Symbolman!


Merry Fitzmas!

[Joanne98]

19. Go Symbolman

[TheUnspeakable]

20. Congrats Symbolman!!!-You SOOOOO deserve it !! n/t

[LaurenG]

21. I LOVE "Secret Agent Plame" it's a great song

Congratulations!

[symbolman]

29. Hard to make out the words a bit tho, eh?

that's because my singing sucks, it's not a bad microphone.. :) but it's got one hell of a Lead Guitar in there - if I ever get a chance to make actual music (which is what I'd rather do) I might take some time out and create some political music, not enough of that around..

Randi Rhodes sang that song about three times on her show a few weeks ago, my jaw dropped to the floor, it was hilarious, and she's really not bad at all..

Thanks, glad you liked it!

[LaurenG]

38. Actually I thought it was very good, great voice.

It sounded VERY professional and I thought you had a professional sing it for you. Great job. I am impressed. Congratulations, you have put forth such effort to get this together. Thank you for that.:) :hug:

[symbolman]

39. lol! Thanks so much

I kept wondering why my lil son wouldn't go to bed and thought I was frightening him with singing beddy bye songs at night, guess I'll have to rethink that one :)

My wife says all I need is singing lessons, might be fun tho as kids we used to jive each other with,

"Hey, what did you do with the money?"

"What money?"

"The money your Mom Gave you for SINGING LESSONS.." :)

[Fovea]

22. You rock entirely

Thank you for all you have done, and are doing.

[merh]

23. kick for symbolman

:kick:

[symbolman]

28. merh sweetie

If you PM me a snail mail address I'll make sure that you get a set, after everything you've been through it's the least I can do.. I wish I could send you a HOUSE or a Car!

Our family sends it's deepest sympathies to you for all you've been through, in case anyone doesn't know this merh got SLAMMED by the Hurricane and can use all the assistance anyone can provide. She's too decent to ask for help, but I'm NOT - anyone wants to help a fellow DU'r, she's one who could use it. There are others here who got their lives overturned by that damned Hurricane - I think there was a fund raiser here by the admin (Gotta Love 'em!) but I'm sure no matter how generous folks are there's always a little something these folks need, some having lost it ALL.

We love ya merh, Merry Fitzmas from our family to yours :)

[merh]

31. Oh, how can I refuse such a generous offer.

I will pmail you -- I do so want the DVDs, I can't wait to see your work. And to think, Joe Wilson ordered them. I hope you put a personal note in his set -- "Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Wilson for loving the nation as much as I do, as much as we need her to be loved."

Bless you my very talented and passionate friend. I love you so much. :hug: :loveya:

[symbolman]

35. Andy had a great friend in you

I'm proud to be called one too.

I'll be happy to send that note along with his DVD set, it's PERFECT..

My pleasure,

So PM me already :)

[symbolman]

24. I SO Appreciate the comments!

But JOE is the MAN! (So are Conyers and Valerie, wait a minute, okay, Brass Ovaries then!) Think of what the couple has gone through, we can't even begin to imagine, eh? BUT, I honestly think that they are the Clarion Call we were all waiting for, every time one of us said hopefully, "THIS will be the Thing that Brings Bush DOWN!" we've all been sorely disappointed, at least I have - it seemed like the game is SO RIGGED that we can't find the damn loose scale in the Dragon to slam the sword into (This is a "metaphor" Mr Gonzales, We mean NO harm to any official) and Slay this 9 headed Monster..

Everytime you cut a head off it seems to grow 5 more..

But the Downing Street Minutes and Plamegate go hand in hand, they PROVE each other - and that's what I did with the film, used footage from both issues to show how this is a SLIMETIGHT case (along with the fine work of so many websites, Congressfolks, and individuals like John Bonifaz) and that with a BULLDOG like Fitzgerald there's at least a CHANCE that the Average American will "get it", that the media won't be able to ignore it.

One of the reasons that I created the "Merry Fitzmas" Flash was to promote in a simple way what the hell is going on, so that even "joe sixpack" will get it, and GET MAD.. plus if work like this "sneaks" into the Media under the radar like a worm virus in a computer, that MANY people will get the information - sort of quarterback sneak into the Zone :)

I've always advocated taking the media back by USING the Media against itself, and THANKS to places like the DU *I* have been able to amass the incredile information (provided from posters like H2OMan, and UnderstandingLife and others) available HERE to push it further OUT with films and flashes.

So don't forget the Donate to the DU during the Holidays as well, think about it, the MEDIA cannot Afford the Investigative powers available right HERE, the sheer numbers of passionate individuals that Dig DEEP, the breadth of mindsets that make us all better with the Passion of Tens of THOUSANDS..

No One in the Media can afford what we can do here.

And I have to thank each and every one of you for "getting my Back", for donating so I can make the work that gets out there in the Public - together we've done some incredible things, forced the media to behave, to retract - with the help of DU'rs Takebackthemedia.com was able to DEMAND that Advertisers LEAVE Rush Limbaugh, it worked, and it worked GREAT - some left in the same afternoon!

(By the way, I'd like to do that again after the new years, anyone up for that? This time we'll create a map of all 50 states and methodically take Limbaugh DOWN, state by state, city by city, advertiser by advertiser..)

So give yourselves a pat on the back, YOU are the ones making this all happen - I'm just the passionate idiot who puts this kind of stuff together in a format that the public will swallow..

I love you guys, between you and the DU I've had my sanity saved multiple times.

And I hope the Media DOES pick this up, that would be KILLER :)

My hat's off to you ALL, and Merry Fitzmas to all!

[DemReadingDU]

25. Thank you symbolman!

and congratulations!

[nicknameless]

26. THAT IS SO COOL !!!! Congratulations, Symbolman !!!

:yourock:

[AuntiBush]

27. Congratulations - And Well Deserved, at that...

... getting the Rove War CDs to show all for Christmas.

Imagine, you had to fly all the way in from Hawaii because no one else would cover this. Thankful you did, but it's very telling of the structure on that craggy, stinkin' hill when Valerie Plame & her husband, ex-Ambassador Joe Wilson were outed for some very greedy, sick reasons. Everyone should be sick about it.

Here's hoping for a wonderful Fritzmas for them, all the agents outed and our nation.

Tell "them" we're all praying for them & Fritz-Justice.

[bleever]

30. Very happy for you, symbolman, and proud too.
