Important CT terms Hijacked by Capitalist/Pop Culture

It wasn't a Nightmare on Maple st!

So, an Elm tree has some sort of CT relevance?

Elm St was the name of the street Kennedy was killed on.

OK, now I get the Elm street thing.

Michael Moore's Farenheit 9/11 was one of the first shows to allege that something was amiss with 9/11. He didn't really hijack the 9/11 thing, he was at the front of it, the only thing was that as a devout liberal, he blamed the republicans for negligence due to greed and serving other interests, rather than looking at the bigger picture.

I thought Michael Moore was sort of used as a controlled opposition thing, personally. He gets the star treatment while other whistleblowers getting whacked.

Moore sent all his viewers barking up the wrong trees.

I gotta disagree with you there. Moore largely plagiarized a British journo named Greg Palast, and ALL of the info in Fareheit 9/11 was accurate. Moore focused on the corruption of the Bush family, and their conflict of interests when it came to the Saudis and 9/11. It wasn''t disinfo, or incorrect, and everything he said was provable. If he'd gone down the road of saying it was an inside job, he wouldnt have been able to back it up.

He is treated like a King by LIBERALS, so of course he gets treated well for representing only one aspect of the false paradigm.

^ good post

Moore confuses me. If he is controlled opposition I would guess he doesn't know it. Most of his films I've seen seem quite passionate and well made... it just bugs me that the most celebrated CTer in the US rarely gets any deeper than surface CTs. He keeps everything sterile and watered-down.

If Moore made a REAL CT film one day I doubt he'd have the same publicity

Him and Chomsky should go fuck each other (behind closed doors, obviously)
