European Parliament Screening for Zero: An Investigation Into 9/11

MercuryMedia Acquires Rights To ‘Zero: An Investigation Into 9/11’ Embargoed Until 9th February 2008 London, UK – 9th February 2008 – Mercury Media today announced that they have acquired all world-wide distribution rights (ex Middle East, Belgium and Italy) for the HD-cam feature documentary ‘Zero: An Investigation Into 9/11’ from Italian production company Telemaco. The film, dubbed ‘The Sensation At The Rome Film Festival’ has been re-edited with an English voice-over for Berlin 2008 where it will be screened as part of the market place offerings. In addition the European Parliament will screen the film on February 26th. Zero is the first million+ Euro investigation into 9/11 and features interviews with Nobel prize winner Dario Fo, Gore Vidal, Moni Avadia and Giulietto Chiesa MEP, who is also a member of the Security and Defence Commission of the European Parliament. The film is directed by, Franco Farcassi and Francesco Trento. Trento commented…..’This film was funded through direct contributions from the public. I believe what we have achieved justifies the many thousands of individual contributions we have received. I am very proud to have created a film which will initiate a reasoned debate into this, the most monstrous terrorist attack in history’. Commenting for Mercury, Tim Sparke MD said: ‘Zero is arguably the most important film made this year. It proves conclusively that the official story of 9/11 is false and that whatever happened on that fateful day must be re-examined by an independent authority. It is our hope that the European Parliament will take up this challenge’. He added: ‘We are confident that Zero will be screened world-wide theatrically, it is a beautifully crafted film, of incredible significance. We urge buyers to come to the Berlin Screening on 13th February at Parliament to see why we make these claims’. -ends- About MercuryMedia MercuryMedia International was set up by former Walt Disney/ABC, Thames Television, WTN and ITEL executive Tim Sparke in April 2000.

Apologies if a repost but couldn't find it at ATS.

Thank you very much for sharing the information with us. Video, in which Tim Sparke discusses the documentary:

Wow, I see they REALLY broke out the experts on this one. I mean who can forget Gore Vidal's classic work on Middle Eastern terrorists.......or Moni Avadia's study on high rise fires.....

How serious can this movie be, when its premise from the first was to blame the US government for 9/11?

Better yet, who gives a rip what Europe thinks?

Well if that's the way we're going to decide things, then who gives a rip what Swampfox thinks, either? Probably more people care what Gore Vidal thinks just because he's seen as a very rational person by a lot of people. Those are just the ones they named anyway. It's not like if they named some engineer it would be a relatively well-known name like the others. It's not like there aren't engineers that don't take major issue with the official reports and even make it known publicly.

When France refused to join in America's mugging of Iraq, Americans far and wide were outraged and incensed, caterwauling in every direction about how gutless and wimpy the French were. They even went so far as to rename French fries "Freedom fries." Based on that I think Americans are obsessed with what Europeans think, and are chagrined to the core to be thought ill of by them.

Speaking personally, I always take European opinion into consideration.

Since my government helped you launch an illegitimate invasion - resulting in mass-murder and the occupation of a former sovereign state - on the basis of the atrocities committed on 9/11, you should be a little more appreciative of support you receive from Europe.

Further, I assume there's little value in you and I exchanging views here on the subject of 9/11 or anything else, since it's clear you have little regard for my opinion, being a European.

You have the right to your opinion, no matter how far it falls from the "fact" tree. This fact remains, im not going to base defending my country on how Europe feels. ESPECIALLY when it comes to their swallowing of 9/11 conspiracy theories hook, link and sinker. So go spend some Euros to watch that movie when it comes out, im sure the people who made it will laugh their way to the bank.

All of Europe was with us, when we said we were going to take it to the terrorists who wished us harm....as long as it didnt affect the sweetheart deals that some European nations had with Saddam Hussein. Then when it came time to stop HIS support/training of terrorists in addition to his continual disregard for UN resolutions (agreed to by European nations).....they got cold feet and started whining about "illegal" "mass-murder" blah blah blah

The Bush administration has never been overly concerned with the "fact tree." According to President Bush, Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. What he doesn't say is that the invasion was just a straight "smash and grab."

And the fact remains that Iraq was about terrorist support and failure to comply with UN resolutions in regards to WMD programs. You can whine all you like but those are facts.

reply to post by Swampfox46_1999


I for one give a rip what Europeans think, seeing as they they haven't been marinated in Fox TV and don't tend to make inane, jingoistic comments such as "Who gives a rip what Americans think?" That really is knuckle-dragging; I guess you couldn't come up with better seeing as you were so pressed to hustle in to spray on the thread to do damage control.

Again, let's hear the European perspective on 9/11; why does this make you so defensive? Maybe that, being removed from the US circus, they might be able to better discern the forest from the trees?

That is not fact. That is fiction. The UN weapons inspectors stated Hussein had no WMDs. The UN refused to allow any invasion into Iraq. The Bush administration lied and was proved to have lied about WMDs in Iraq. Then the Bush administration illegally unilaterally attacked anyway based on nothing but lies.

In fact, they stooped so low in lying, they said Hussein was aligned with bin Laden prior to 9/11/2001. That also proved to be a lie. Hussein would never align with bin Laden due to 180 degrees separation in ideologies. Plus, neither trusted the other, not even for collaboration purposes beneficial to both. Both being autocrats, with each of them wanting it all his way, while refusing to power share with one another.

They had dismantled their WMD programs. Dirty, dirty liars misled the neocons about what Saddam was up to. (At least that is the current spin being applied.) The work of the American weapons inspectors, clearing Saddam, was disregarded by the Bush administration.

Read up on one of the Bush administration's partners in crime.Ahmed Chalabi's presence runs all the way through this story.

en.wikipedia.org...

He is the kind of person that has figured prominently in the US activities related to Iraq. He still plays a prominent role in US initiatives in the region. Someone should tell the neocons that if you lay down with dogs you wake up with fleas.

In 1977, he founded the Petra Bank in Jordan. In the late 1980s, the Jordanian government issued a decree ordering all banks in the country to deposit one fifth of their reserves with the Central Bank. Petra Bank was the only bank that was unable to meet this requirement, and so Chalabi fled the country before the authorities could react. Chalabi was convicted and sentenced in absentia for bank fraud by a Jordanian military tribunal. He faces 22 years in prison, should he again enter Jordan.

Chalabi maintains that his prosecution was a politically motivated effort to discredit him. In May 2005, it was reported that King Abdullah II of Jordan had promised to pardon Chalabi, in part to ease the relations between Jordan and the new Iraqi government of which Chalabi was a member. According to one report, Chalabi proposed a 32 million dollar compensation fund for depositers affected by Petra Bank's failure. The Web site for Petra Bank contains a press release stating that Chalabi would refuse the pardon.[8] Although he has always maintained the case was a plot to frame him by Baghdad, the issue was revisited later when the State Department raised questions about the INC's accounting practices

Thanks for your replies.

The purpose of this thread was let people who are interested in 9/11 and believe that we need a new investigation know about the up and coming documentary/movie.

Whether the documentary/movie is going to be full of disinformation or full of facts, no-one can say at this early stage. Probably a mixture I'd say.

Since we've gone off topic I may as well say a few things.

Re: Iraq and WMD: In Feb and July of 2001, Rice and Powell both clearly state that Saddam was absolutely no threat to the US or its neighbours and hadn't rebuilt its military capability

Anyway, we can argue and argue about what was said and why and who is lying etc but it seems as if most of us have already made up our minds.

Never mind Iraq or even 9/11.
If you want absolute proof that the powers that be (politicians, corporations etc) have been lying to the public for a very long time, all one needs to do is visit the US patent office and see all the suppressed medical breakthroughs (eg AIDS patent cure, research into suppressed patents discovered by Dr Robert Beck, Dr Robert O Becker (two different people)) along with the alternative energy solutions ( eg HHO, overunity, EM propulsion etc ) that have been denied to us and could be of great benefit to mankind as well as this planet.
We can all live independently without the help of government, medical and energy industries trying to hold us back. You just have to do the research and never look back.
Hopefully I'll be running the car entirely off HHO by the end of the year. Will be running duel fuel first as many are currently doing with a hydrogen cell. Oh and I'm growing my hair back (was losing a bit on top) for hardly any cost. Gotta love US patents!!!!

Cheers,
Cam

What planet do you live on? The UN DID vote to allow force against Iraq, we did NOT unilaterally invade...there were 38 other nations with us.

There is a whole laundry list of weapons and WMD related items that have been found in Iraq that Saddam Hussein was NOT to have in his posession.

Of course, the "conventional wisdom" is no WMDs were found...but then there is this...

Douglas Hanson was a U.S. Army cavalry reconnaissance officer for 20 years, and a veteran of Gulf War I. He was an atomic demolitions munitions security officer and a nuclear, biological and chemical defense officer. As a civilian analyst in Iraq last summer, he worked for an operations intelligence unit of the CPA in Iraq, and later, with the newly formed Ministry of Science and Technology, which was responsible for finding new, nonlethal employment for Iraqi WMD scientists. In an interview with Insight and in an article he wrote for the online magazine AmericanThinker.com, Hanson examines reports from U.S. combat units and public information confirming that many of Iraq's CW stockpiles have indeed been found. Until now, however, journalists have devoted scant attention to this evidence, in part because it contradicts the story line they have been putting forward since the U.S.-led inspections began after the war. But another reason for the media silence may stem from the seemingly undramatic nature of the "finds" Hanson and others have described. The materials that constitute Saddam's chemical-weapons "stockpiles" look an awful lot like pesticides, which they indeed resemble. Pesticides are the key elements in the chemical-agent arena," Hanson says. "In fact, the general pesticide chemical formula (organophosphate) is the 'grandfather' of modern-day nerve agents." When coalition forces entered Iraq, "huge warehouses and caches of 'commercial and agricultural' chemicals were seized and painstakingly tested by Army and Marine chemical specialists," Hanson writes. "What was surprising was how quickly the ISG refuted the findings of our ground forces and how silent they have been on the significance of these caches." Caches of "commercial and agricultural" chemicals don't match the expectation of "stockpiles" of chemical weapons. But, in fact, that is precisely what they are. "At a very minimum," Hanson tells Insight, "they were storing the precursors to restart a chemical-warfare program very quickly." Caches of "commercial and agricultural" chemicals don't match the expectation of "stockpiles" of chemical weapons. But, in fact, that is precisely what they are. "At a very minimum," Hanson tells Insight, "they were storing the precursors to restart a chemical-warfare program very quickly." Kay and Duelfer came to a similar conclusion, telling Congress under oath that Saddam had built new facilities and stockpiled the materials to relaunch production of chemical and biological weapons at a moment's notice. At Karbala, U.S. troops stumbled upon 55-gallon drums of pesticides at what appeared to be a very large "agricultural supply" area, Hanson says. Some of the drums were stored in a "camouflaged bunker complex" that was shown to reporters -- with unpleasant results.

More than a dozen soldiers, a Knight-Ridder reporter, a CNN cameraman, and two Iraqi POWs came down with symptoms consistent with exposure to a nerve agent," Hanson says. "But later ISG tests resulted in a proclamation of negative, end of story, nothing to see here, etc., and the earlier findings and injuries dissolved into nonexistence. Left unexplained is the small matter of the obvious pains taken to disguise the cache of ostensibly legitimate pesticides. One wonders about the advantage an agricultural-commodities business gains by securing drums of pesticide in camouflaged bunkers 6 feet underground. The 'agricultural site' was also colocated with a military ammunition dump -- evidently nothing more than a coincidence in the eyes of the ISG."

Yet, according to "conventional wisdom" these items were never found....

Trust the army. Where the weapons inspectors failed, the army has a eureka moment with farm chemicals.

Why would Iraq have hidden supplies of farm chemicals? I wonder if the US trade embargo had anything to do with it? I wonder if those sneaky Iraqis, in their vainglorious quest to simply go on living were trading with some industrialized country that might have been a "friend" of the US, but who from a motive of shy modesty didn't want Uncle Sam to know who they were making deals with and asked the Iraqis to keep the goings-on under the table.

In fact, taking a leaf from Prescott "Hitler's Banker" Bush, Dubya himself may have requested special Iraqi discretion.

No, they did not not agree. They disagreed. which is why France backed off, and was villified by PNAC politicians and lobbyists in DC. They fed disinformation to the general public, already anti-Semitic against all Arabs and sectarian against all Muslims.

The UN inspectors stated Hussein had no WMD. Please stop feeding the disinformation of sanctions dating back to the 1990s. They had nothing to do with illegal unilateral attack of Hussein having no WMD.

Please keep in mind the lame excuse of lies was Hussein collaborated with bin Ladin and had WMDs. Proved to be lies of the Bush administration and their controlling financial power brokers.

I highly recommend this book to anyone studying 9/11/2001 through what got us illegally involved in Iraq - Veil:The Secret Wars of the CIA 1981-1987 by Bob Woodward. It may not appear to be relevant by the title, but I guarantee it is relevant to both.
