The film exposes only the Palestinian drama, but accomplishes something greater than itself. In dealing with personal choices that leads to suffer while being slaughtered under occupation or challenge one’s oppressor the exposes the “mind set” of a “suicide bomber” which undermines the official version of 911 theory. In this the film accomplishes something greater than itself if it is viewed by a larger audience. It might help the American audience understand the Bush Administration propaganda that Muslims were behind the plot is nonsensical and outright fabrication.
911 Official Version is a Fraud
Farhat Quaem Maquami
“Paradise Now” unintentionally Exposes the crucial links that must exist between the “ Mind Set”, human connections, sufferings and indignities which produces “suicide bombers”, which are missing in 911. They are artfully explaining these links for Palestinians.
Yet, the latent function of the movie is to expose the absence of the Individual and societal “mind set” in the Bush Administration version of 911. Anyone who sees the movie should come-up questioning the official 911 theory as absurd and unacceptable, unless we believe the Arab faces were under “mind control” drugs and similar to their planes which were on “auto pilots”!
Unless you change the “mind set” of Americans who have been brainwashed in believing that the injustice done to them was the work of Muslims, the American wounded psyche would continue its chase of phantom enemy the “Al Quaeda terrorists,” and the carnage would continue.
“Paradise Now” is a great Movie which attempts to provide a realistic version of what is happening in Palestine. The audience gains knowledge about the human sufferings, dilemmas, confusion and enlightenment that goes through the making of suicide bombers.
“Paradise now” is a cinematic art which contains a vide spectrum of social, political and religious tones that attempts to deal with the fundamental question of how to live and die under the most brutal post-colonial occupation in the name of religion. The diverse aspects of the conflict unveils a human drama which signifies the cry for help of people condemn to a struggle to perish in an apathetic world.
The film exposes only the Palestinian drama, but accomplishes something greater than itself. In dealing with personal choices that leads to suffer while being slaughtered under occupation or challenge one’s oppressor the exposes the “mind set” of a “suicide bomber” which undermines the official version of 911 theory.

In 911 all the ingredients of making the mind-set of suicide bombers are missing. An organized operation which happens with military precision and thoughtful supervision is blamed on bunch of drunk amateurs, half of them still alive, with no “mind set” and no history. They suddenly go get drunk in Las Vegas and decide to execute a stunt that even experienced fighter pilots could not pull.
What it reveals about the "mind set" of suicide bomber is far more important than the story. One comes out of the movie thinking that if really the WTC was attacked by suicide Hijackers why after more than 4 years nothing has been revealed. 911 remains a crime without a criminal “perpetrator“, because with the complicity of Corporate Media the whole world believes that there exist a virtual enemy called “the base” (Al Quaeda in Arabic) what the complicit media artfully made the public believe is “Virtual” it exist in the mind of its creator only.
From Noam Chomsky to Howard Zinn, from Ward Churchill to Danny and indeed from coast to coast of America we have been led to believe that the US was attacked by Muslim Hijackers and this is not true because there is and there would not be an established "mind set", there is no organization, no bankers, no manifestos, no Final message, no mission statement, no collaborators, no Hierarchy of order, no organization, no statement of purpose, no Declaration of insurmountable prior injustice, No declaration of Achievement, no demand for recognition, and absolutely no expected result or benefit. Now body uttered "Allah o Akbar", Good is Great! So there was NO Paradise for any of 911 hijackers.
Then why the corrupt corporate media pushed the fabricated Concept of Al Quaeda, which simply refers to the CIA "data base", as a criminal organization? It is quite simple, everybody including the American left, right and center bought it, because it was a simplistic, somehow realistic explanation of what could have happened. Even, idealistic person like Ward Churchill was affected by it so much so as declaring simplistically and wrongfully that the poor victims of WTC implosions were “ Little Eichmanns.”
The Official Story of 911
19 hijackers, most of whom couldn't fly Cessna's and of which half are still alive, got drunk in a strip club the night before pulling off an assault that military pilots stated on the record couldn't have been done by crack fighter pilots.
Both President Bush and Vice-President Cheney took extraordinary steps to limit any investigation into the events of 9/11. Why this continued cover-up by the media?
It is great to see a movie made about Palestinian life under occupation which actually goes into the mind process of a suicide bomber. It comes from the birthplace of suicide bombings and as such it is quite refreshing. It reveals the reality of life under occupation and it shows their dilemma of existence. However, anyone comes out of this movie should immediately ask why these mind set was absent during the execution of 911 plan. Why is there no findings after four years? Paradise now disproves the official version of 911 that revengeful Muslims attacked the US. You come out of “paradise now” thinking that the whole 911 theory is based on the bubble theory and propaganda, as the hijackers of 911 did not leave a trace.
The official version seems to have fabricated criminals, Virtual Enemies to instigate a fake war on terror. There were no Al Qaeda hijackers, as Al Quaeda does not exist.
911 HAS DEFIED EVERY LAW OF CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION SINCE SHERLOCK HOLMES!
More than four years ago, a known sponsor of terrorism, Pat Robertson, went on TV with Jerry Falwell on the smoldering ashes of WTC and proclaimed that “ Terrorists attacks were God’s punishment of a corrupted America ! They declared because the government had adopted an agenda of “pagans, the abortionists, the feminists, the gays, and the lesbians’ Americans are being punished by the Wrath of God. They joined hand in hand with global corporate capitalists to declare a New Crusade against Islam and usurping the oil resources of the Middle East. It is high time in this first Anniversary of “Fullujah Massacre” to stop harassing Middle Eastern Muslim just because the worship the same God with different language and , stop the US terrorism outside and start working toward rebuilding our shattered environment.
AL Quaeda is a CIA Data Base!
The US administration dumbfounded by the event 911, got a crush course as how to satisfy the public thirst for explanation while covering the trace of the culprits, destroying every evidentiary records of the crime, and manufacturing alternative, easy to understand, explanation. They had already fabricated , with the help of Dick Clark in a Manhattan Courtroom as a criminal organization in order to circumvent the US laws. Not withstanding the fact that “Al Quaeda” ( data base in Arabic) is neither a political organization nor a hierarchy , it only existed in the computer “Data Base” of the CIA as a list of mercenaries, collaborators, agents, bankers, black market munitions suppliers and a host of other informant and sympathizers of the US terrorist agents who forced Soviet out of Afghanistan and brought Taliban into power.
NO SHRED OF EVIDENCE AFTER 4 YEARS!
That is why in 911 no one has produced a manifesto, a statement of principals, a political agenda, explanation of events, confession to collaboration, and planning and finally the higher political or religious aspiration to be achieved. None was present and nothing has been produced but what the administration has presented to the world as a web of lies. All persons being tortured in GITMO are innocents of being member of something which does not exist, that is why there is no confession and if there is under torture they have confessed that they belong to a “Base” or Al Quaeda. No one seems interested to question the fact that belonging to a data base created by the intelligence agencies does not mean a thing without a hierarchical political organization.
TERRORISTS DON’T TERRORIZE FOR FUN!
Since time in memoriam, political activists or those who waged liberation movements against Imperialism and commit acts of violence for social, cultural, religious, racial and political proclivities commit their terrorist act to achieve a desired end by violence against the State that is representing an exploiting class and has monopolized means of violence. They don’t terrorize for fun, otherwise they would be equivalent of jack the ripper. Political Terror is an act of rebellion, an spark to ignite insurgency against established seemingly formidable system of economic exploitation, which has concentrated all means of terror in a hand of few elites.
So-called terrorists had CIA Cleared Visas!!
The people who the US Government propaganda has declared to be perpetrators of 911, have nothing to show that they were politically active, they did not utter the word “God is Great” at the last moment of their life. Four are the supposed hijackers are alive and well and the rest could have been in a state of hypnotic delusion, “sleeper cells” controlled by their last phone calls they received. Anyone who has seen the movie “telephone” by Charles Bronson knows what I am talking about. If they were hijackers, then they did not have control of their mind, and believe me it could not have been a medieval mind of a Camel raiser named Osama. Every one of them had CIA cleared visas. That is not simple to have CIA Clearance. It is not given to anyone that is not 200 per cent collaborator.
Assassins are not simple murderers. They are making a political statement and desiring a political change. Except in British common law and American system of jurisprudence, all rebels are treated as political prisoners when caught, because they are committing a crime against the state. Whether it was GULAC of Soviets, EVIN of Shah, Mubarak’s torture chambers or Saddam’s Abu Gharieb, they are called political prisoners. Only in American Democracy, political prisoners have no rights and are treated as common criminals, even if by every passing year the political system resembles more to a corporatocracy rather than participatory democracy.
911, A CRIME without PERPETRATOR
Every Crime is committed for a reason weather it is a crime of passion or crime for economic and social advantage. Motive, intention, must be proved and demonstrated beyond reasonable doubt in a court of law before sentencing or declaration of guilt. In addition, there is always the question of murder weapon, confession, preservation of evidence, circumstantial evidence in the absence of real one, integrity of crime scene and its contamination. Obviously, there are political and economic considerations which might effect the verdict, jury tampering, smart layering, in Blake and O.j. Simpson’s cases, just got two criminals out of the hook. Public affection helped Michael Jackson beat the system and shaky defense combined with public antipathy got Scott Pearson a Death Penalty with no motive or hard evidence. The system is not perfect. It can be manipulated , but it works.
Yet in 911 case, investigation into alternative explanation have been hampered. Ashcraft incarcerated 15000 Muslim Americans and as of now no one has been found guilty of actually planning to attack the US or having intention to operate a terrorist cell.
911 WAS A TRIGGER to justify INVASION OF IRAQ
Almost 99 percent of physical evidence has been shipped outside the US, destroyed, contaminated and literally wiped out of crime scene. Nothing remains but the State version of what has happened which defies the reality of thousands experts explanations. The state in the midst of an inferno which turned everything into dust has magically produced a passport of the so-called terror mastermind. Yet no American want to believe that one of their own was the designer and the windfall profit out of crime went to American corporations aligned with Evangelical Christians and the State of Israel. Americans lost their Bill of Rights in the Patriot Act which was written well before 911. It justified their illegal and immoral war on Iraq by lie and deception and in the process 100 thousands of innocents were bombed to death and destruction.
FAKE TERRORISTS
“Islamic terrorists” slogan might seem rational for those true believers who are vilifying Muslims to steal their oil, subjugate their government and crucify their radical intellectuals. Otherwise, after 4 years of the so-called War on Terror why there is No Confession, No Details of what Happened, No Declarations, No Convictions, No Details of What Happened, How did it happen?. Putting innocents tribesmen behind the Bars in the most barbaric ways did not produce one real criminal; torturing people did not produce one real or imaginary confession. Scaring innocent law abiding Middle Eastern to death and putting 15000 of them in various jails, violating their basic human and constitutional rights did not produce one confession.
All were innocent of any wrongdoings and had nothing to do with 911. Even Bin La Din declared he had nothing to do with 911. It is time to stop this sham, this fraud, this cover-up for attacking Afghanistan and blowing up Iraq. End this fake war on terror and start searching the existing bulk evidence and find the real terrorists who used Islam as a cover for their crime against America and murdered 3000 ordinary people for controlling oil resources of the Middle East.
Since 911 the world has been duped in believing that Middle Eastern Muslim men were the perpetrators of crime against America and therefore they must be collectively punished. That is why two countries are brutally invaded, hundreds of thousands of Muslims are massacred, millions of families have been driven to homelessness all because of a lie. Now the London Terrorists are manufactured by the British Intelligence to increase the popularity of Blaire, impose draconian laws on Britons and curtail Civil liberties of whosoever looks “Middle Eastern”, the real terrorists must be exposed in order to end this historical madness.
