This film is not another effort to blame Bush for everything. This film is not another 9/11 conspiracy film.
This film is among one of the most expert, well-documented exposes of the actions and policies of an entire group of neo-conservative leaders who have spent over two decades accelerating America's relentless drive for global empire.
An enthralling political documentary, "Hijacking Catastrophe" examines how George W. Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, ad others close to the Bush administration (including complicit Democrats) have developed the policies and pursued an agenda for US domination of the world since the early 1990s, as framed in the "Project for a New American Century." It also reveals how they deliberately misled Americans into supporting that neo-conservative agenda, through manipulation of the media, intelligence, and fears of the public generated by the events of 9/11. Step by step, the film discloses exactly how & why Americans have found themselves entangled in the dangerous foreign policies of "preemptive war" abroad (e.g. the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan), as well as equally threatening policies of "sacrifice" at home (e.g. rolling back of civil liberties & social programs). With powerful testimony from leading experts (e.g. Noam Chomsky, Tariq Ali, Chalmers Johnson, Karen Kwiatkowski, Medea Benjamin, Daniel Elsberg, Stan Goff, William Hartung, Robert Jensen, Scott Ritter, and Immanuel Wallerstein), this film provides one of the most compelling explanations for why America is now facing one of the most critical moments in history, and who, exactly, is to blame.
