Per fortuna esistono voci minoritarie come James Corbett che ha sintetizzato le assurditá della version ufficiale in questo fantastico video. Prima la versione Italiana grazie a Massimo Mazzucco di Luogo Comune:
Ma per gli anglofoni suggeriamo il video originale che permette di apprezzare il sottile umorismo di Corbett:
Nella trascrizione del video si riporta come secondo la versione ufficiale:
"The attacks were “a failure of imagination” because “I don’t think anyone could envision flying airplanes into buildings ”In realtá Il Pentagono, la FEMA, il NORAD e la NRO avevano scenari che descrivavano esattamente ció che successe.
Questi ragazzoni che stanno nei Bunker sotterranei hanno un sacco di immaginazione.
è per questo che per prevedere i prossimi eventi dobbiamo andare nella fabbrica stessa dell'immaginario collettivo. Don Chisciotte traduce un articolo di David Sirota dal titolo HOLLYWOOD SEMPRE PIÙ NELLA MORSA DEL PENTAGONO.
Ne riportiamo lunghi estratti con inserti di trailer 2010-2011 presi a caso tanto per non annoiarvi troppo. le parti sottolineate in rosso sono quelle su cui si suggerisce la vostra attenzione
Per troppo tempo i media hanno ignorato la relazione tra Hollywood e il Pentagono. Essendone a conoscenza, mi ero immaginato che il mio articolo sul Washington Post sarebbe svanito nell’etere.
Invece, a mia sorpresa, è uscito nella stessa settimana che il Los Angeles Times e il Wall Street Journal hanno fornito nuovi dettagli sconvolgenti sul modo in cui la losca relazione tra Hollywood e il Pentagono stia plasmando i nuovi standard per la propaganda finanziata dal governo.
Hollywood complice come sempre
Intanto, sia il Times che il Journal ci dicono che la collusione tra i militari e Hollywood – ci sono anche casi di funzionari del Pentagono che correggono le sceneggiature –
Tutto ciò ci offre una testimonianza aggiornata del fatto che i maggiori registi di Hollywood sono sempre più che lieti di modellare ideologicamente i propri film nella direzione a favore della guerra e del settore militare che il Pentagono pretende in cambio della possibilità di utilizzare le attrezzature belliche pagate dai contribuenti.
il Pentagono ora sta utilizzando i soldati delle forze speciali, pagate dai contribuenti, in veste di attori.
Dopo aver preso una decisione di gruppo per partecipare, avendo stabilito che il progetto serviva per il bene dei SEALs, la Marina obbligò formalmente i marinai a farvi parte.
Quindi, non solo i produttori compiacenti riescono a ottenere l’accesso ai materiali bellici pagati dai contribuenti, ma ora riescono a ottenere un sussidio ulteriore sotto forma di soldati in carne ed ossa, anch’essi pagati dal contribuente, a cui viene ordinato di fare anche gli attori.
CONCLUSIONE
Una bella accozzaglia di film? No? meno male che si tratta di Fantascienza pura se non fosse che (ops!) scopriamo che alcuni di loro hanno ricevuto in dotazione interi squadroni di marines.
There was military support for filming, including some scenes filmed at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton in California. Numerous Marine units assisted in filming, including infantry from 2nd Battalion 1st Marines, MV-22 Ospreys from VMMT-204 (based at Marine Corps Air Station New River in North Carolina), CH-46 Sea Knights from HMM-268 and HMM-774 (based in Camp Pendleton and Naval Station Norfolk, respectively), and reservists from 3rd Battalion 23rd Marines based in Belle Chasse, Louisiana.
Se Il video di Corbett fosse stato pubblicato il 10 settembre 2001 il lettore avrebbe pensato a una storia degna di una sceneggiatura di terzo ordine. Eppure eccoci qui, dieci anni dopo a raccontare la "veritá", quella ufficiale si intende. La mancanza di immaginazione non é tanto dei creatori delle storie quanto di coloro che non riescono a pre vederle e a capire quanto esse siano reali.
