Eligibility Can Be Determined, 9/11 ?Inside Jobs? Cannot

By Phil

Sharon Rondeau over at The Post & Email recently posted an interview with Quad City Pictures filmmaker Brent Bateman concerning his upcoming piece, “Fraud.”

Before I get into my analysis of what Mr. Bateman is doing, I wanted to contrast two different YouTube trailers that he has on his site regarding the intent of the “documentary” that he has put together.

And before I do that, let me say at the outset that I probably am going to make some people mad by creating this posting. However, I think it’s important to remember the maxim:

The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.

The first trailer is the “Theatrical Trailer:”

The second trailer is the “UNCENSORED Teaser:”

You probably raised your eyebrows more than a little bit in the differences in the videos, right?

When Mr. Bateman’s work was confronted by numerous commenters to Ms. Rondeau’s interview posting, he had the following to say in response:

I?m not an OVOMIT Obot, and I support the Tea Party 100%. Anyone in this country who does not believe that the Bush regime and the CIA together carried out 9/11 is just fooling themselves in understanding the depths of what these DEVILS in Washington are capable of. Like it or not, if we are to see and experience a TRUE REVOLUTION in America, we must expose all of the CRIMES against our people. and that includes the OIL and WAR Lords, the Bush regime.

Cheers!
Brent Bateman

My first reaction to both of these issues is the title to this posting:

Eligibility can be determined; 9/11 “inside jobs” cannot.

Notice that I did not say that one is not entitled to one’s opinion; clearly, we all are. However, I think it would be much more appropriate to wisely choose one’s battles instead of jumping feet first into the proverbial pool of debate without evidence.

On the face of it, I don’t particularly understand why it is that anyone is trying to convince the media or other power brokers about Mr. Obama’s eligibility. That’s not the issue. If it were, then what is anyone doing with the Tea Parties? Don’t you already know that this movement is quintessentially dismissed by the Ruling Class?

This is like saying that the Judiciary should make a categorical ruling on a purely Legislative process — exactly how is that going to help the situation? The Judiciary in this country doesn’t impeach Presidents; Congress does that.

Instead, it is my view that those of us who question the President’s eligibility should be gearing up for 2011/2012 when the campaign process officially kicks in once again. That is the time to legitimately and officially demand results.

And movies that closely intertwine “Truthers” with “Birthers” is not, in my opinion, a brilliant marketing move. OK, so Mr. Bateman may be a “Truther;” that’s his view. Yet if you hit up masses of people with this kind of work, don’t be surprised if they immediately turn you off because they think you’re loony.

It’s nothing personal (to most); it’s just the way it’s perceived. And perception is half the game.

Why not come up with a true documentary that raises questions some of us have been raising for about 2 years (or longer)? I have an entire site chock full of such questions — questions that can be answered today if the data were available.

If you’re so inclined, support the movie. I just don’t think you’re going to get the kind of positive results you really want from it.

But that’s just me.
