Hijacking Catastrophe

 

- by Karen Kwiatkowski (Lt. Col. USAF retired)

 

Better than anyone to date, the Media Education Foundation has quietly

and accurately documented the most important history of 21st century

thus far in their recent video and DVD release, Hijacking Catastrophe:

9/11, Fear, and the Selling of American Empire.

 

Hijacking Catastrophe is powerful, understated, straightforward and

educational. In a single meticulously organized hour of evidence and

analysis, viewers are treated to a thoughtful explanation of modern

American empire, neo-conservatism as a driving force for the current

Bush administration, and something I have not seen before, a real

economic analysis of what is driving some of our current " global war

on terror. "

 

The film examines the Bush Administration's investment in

neo-conservatism, and the early, and already horrific, results. While

past performance is no guarantee of future earnings, Hijacking

Catastrophe shows exactly why America's " new conservatism " is a

pyramid scheme of inhumane proportions.

 

The film examines eight aspects of the current situation of American

foreign policy. The film provides an explanation for the obvious

continuity between Cold War policies and those of the present. It

examines long-term neoconservative thinking and how this peculiar

version of Jacobin utopianism ascended from its rather inauspicious

political roots. The film explores the dangerous territory of how the

post 9-11 national shock was carefully cultivated by neoconservatives

in Washington to support their own long-held objectives in the Middle

East.

 

Hijacking Catastrophe then documents the Pentagon and White House

process of disinformation, exaggeration, and media-supported

propaganda between 9-11 and America's March 2003 invasion of Iraq. It

describes the neoconservative vision of military dominance over a

supine, energy-rich Middle East, not only for its own sake, but as a

warning to other potential international rivals.

 

Hijacking Catastrophe describes the cost of empire in a way so

comprehensive that it becomes clear that neo-conservatism, as a

foreign policy guide, comes with a very real moral, political and

financial garnishment of every American, and of American children yet

unborn. The cost is shown not only as a current financial outlay or in

lives unlived on the part of soldiers and marines, but in terms of an

alarming debt burden, loss of domestic freedom, the growing and

invasive state, a permanent tattering of the Constitution and Bill of

Rights.

" Hijacking Catastrophe, " is headlined by the caption that it is " News You Won't

Find On CNN. " Such captions infuriate me, becuase of the mindset that drives

them. We're being invited into the inner sactums of leftist thought, and made

to feel as if we're a select few, with access to secret and jealously guarded

information. We see this mentality at Air America, that almost proudly

proclaims that " It's all that's left. " The Pacifica radio network of 5

stations, is anxious to communicate to it's " listener sponsors, " that they're

not going to find " this information anywhere else. " But the notion that I won't

find " this information " anywhere else, will not bring me to , it will

disillusion me.

 

If the Media Education Foundation and the movie Hijacking Catastrophe, are

bringing me news I won't find on CNN, that's a disaster; a reality we should

resist approaching, as if we were a select, an elitist crowd. That I can't find

the news on CNN, is nearly as serious a catastrophe as the catastrophe revealed

in the film, regarding the Bush administration and its insane, it's lunatic and

brainless empire building. The film compares this lust for power, with that

seen in the Roman empire. Quite aside from the corruption and arrogance

revealed in the time of the Caesers, the effort to compare the 1000 year reign

of our ancestral, ancient Romans, with the scatterbrain imbecilities of the Bush

adminstration, is more than I can bear.

 

I weary, as I'm sure many of the rest of us do, of the constant effort to

uncover ever more of the insane bumbling and destructiveness of this current

administration. Hijacking Catastrophe ought to be as much about media as it is

about the Bush gang. Perhaps much more about media. Taking this new

perspective would re-invigorate our debate and our strategies, give us a new and

desperately needed change of focus. Media are our major obstacles, not the Bush

administration, which would not last a single election cycle withought media

support and bias in their favor.

 

There is a stubborn refusal on the left, to acknowledge this reality. This post

will be met with the argument, that the Bush administration is, after all, the

real threat, the real-world reality we face. But this is misguided. Because we

continue to underestimate media, and its efforts to destroy leftist thought in

contemporary society, we're now faced with 8 years of Bush. God knows what the

near future will bring, if we continue to act as if we can ignore media and its

effecs on the political climate in this country, and brag about the exclusivity

we leftists enjoy when we scramble around in media (mostly so-called

" underground " media) looking for " our " information.
