Hollywood - the propaganda arm of America and the New World Order !

Rating: 1/10 (31 March 2007)

Also (sprach) Zarathustra" - Thus spoke Zarathustra

usually known in English as Zoroaster, the Persian prophet and founder of Zoroastrianism.

Today's letter from the Iranian Embassy echoes my long held belief that Hollywood is the propaganda arm of the USA and the so-called New World Order(their term not mine !). During the summer of 2002 I noticed lots of advertisements for Hollywood war films on the BTS.
My first and only conclusion; there is a war coming ! Hollywood is preparing the public mind set. The beginning of 2003 proved this to be correct. Weapons of Mass Propaganda; Hollywood. The Iraq War, or to put it in correct terms, the mass bombing of civilians followed by civil war.
Now the Iranian Embassy has written to The Nation about the War Cry = 300 ! Are they next in line for the Shock & War treatment ? It would certainly appear so.
Today's letter:-
'300''s depiction of Persia driven by 'vicious stereotypes'
The Iranian people are outraged by the movie "300", (which is) purportedly about an epic battle fought between the Persian and Greek armies in 480 BC, but which is full of deliberate distortions and derogatory depictions of ancient Persia. It is about the war between the Greek King Leonidas heading an army of 300 Spartans and the Persian Emperor Xerxes commanding an army of one million. It portrays Iranians as monsters rising from the heart of darkness to destroy Greek civilisation.
This insulting movie is being screened in some of the cinemas of Thailand. We are sure the wise and respectful people of the Kingdom already have found out the message of the movie, which actually is in line with the current concerted efforts by certain Western interest circles to systematically make the Iranian nation appear as demons.
While recognising that this is not a docudrama, and that it is a "fantasy" version of a historical past, it seems judicious to investigate why the film fails to convey a bare minimum of truth about Iranian history and indulges in inventing perverse, demonic images of Persians.
The movie is overtly racist, overflowing with vicious stereotypes of Persians as a dangerous, bestial force fatally threatening the civilised "free" world.
We feel that this movie not only has done a poor job painting the reality of the past, but also it has humiliated the Iranian culture and the reality of what Iran represented during that era.
Iranian history records celebration of life, light and love. Iranian civilisation from the beginning up until now respects all religions and beliefs.
The movie not only is trying to distort Iranian history and civilisation but also is aimed at distorting world history and shaking the foundations of human insight.
The movie is part of a comprehensive effort on the part of the West to launch a psychological war aimed at Iranian culture through Hollywood and other media.
The movie's efforts will be fruitless because values in Iranian culture and the Islamic Revolution are too strongly seated to be damaged by such plans.
Finally the Embassy of the Islamic republic of Iran has no doubt that the Thai people, keeping in mind the long history of more than 400 hundred years of cordial relations with Iran, are aware that the story of the movie is unrealistic and is a birth child of mental fancy of the author and producers.

and to quote from another forum:-
Now call me obtuse, but American/British government have been trying to cause war over the last 4 years to get into Iran or as David Icke would say, problem-reaction-solution.
PROBLEM-how do we find a excuse to invade Iran ?? REACTION-send our monkeys into stray Iranian waters to get captured,thus invade Iran to save our boys from death. SOLUTION-war in Iran starts,America take control of Iran has planned. It don't take much working out now does it, even BUSH could think of this one,(only just mind). Posted by 'Bardo'
