Weapons sellers, Carlyle Group, to buy Loews theater chain-2 Billion $

[Zinfandel]

What would these weapons dealers want with a theater chain? Would they have allowed Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" to be shown in Loews theater's if already owned, or pressure studio's and keep films like it, not even to be made? These same people already have firm control over the corporate media... Television news, most of the radio & print media, as well as the largest Internet provider (AOL). Feeding right-wing propaganda, lies and cover-ups, 24 hours a day.

"Loews is the third largest movie theater chain in the global motion picture exhibition industry, with over 200 theaters and 2,200 screens worldwide. The assets being acquired include Loews' operations in the U.S., Grupo Cinemex, and its 50% interests in Megabox Cineplex of Korea and Yelmo Cineplex of Spain. Onex' share of the cash proceeds is expected to be approximately C$775 million. In addition, Onex will continue to own units of Cineplex Galaxy, which have a current market value of approximately C$105 million."

"David Robb's shocking new book is based on thousands of pages of Pentagon documents, including internal memos and bluntly frank correspondence with producers the military seeks to influence. David Robb has interviewed more than 70 Hollywood filmmakers and Pentagon censors. Operation Hollywood shows, in stunning detail, that while we may think the content of American movies is free from government interference, the Pentagon has actually been telling filmmakers what to say and what not to say for decades.

Film and TV producers collaborate with the Pentagon because it can save them millions of dollars, money shaved off a film's budget when the military lends its equipment and assistance. All a producer must do to get the assistance is submit five copies of the film script to the Pentagon for approval; make whatever script changes the Pentagon suggests; shoot the film exactly as approved by the Pentagon; and pre-screen the finished product for Pentagon officials before it's shown to the public."

Excellent Internet radio interview with David Robb (yesterday) and much more on her Internet radio show today.

1. This is terribly repressive news...

I hope there are some good democratic people who are planning to keep on to their theaters for a long time.

Good to know that the Pentagon is approving of what we see and there to make sure we don't see anything they wouldn't approve of. :grr:

[supercrash]

2. Nice work

Whats up wit that ?


With Carlyle it's all about the money...They must smell money and power somewhere in this deal

Is that the Carlyle group video that shows Michael Jackson with the Saudi's ? ...supercreepy

[merh]

10. It is not the money Carlyle sees, its the control of what we see.

They want to control the theaters to control the propoganda. That way they get to keep making their money from this war and others.
Nazis every last one of them.

:mad:

14. You got that right!!!!

3. Was hoping I dreamed this :-( BushCo doesn't sweat transparency, anyone

see (what I think was) Ari Fleisher's brother on Fox today? I mean the guy was almost identical to Fleisher, kinda like Ari on steroids, anyway he was the Head of Housing (czar?) for the CPA....making a zillion raping Iraq, no doubt :-(

Please answer this post if you saw it because it was so bizarre to see this thuggy looking Ari-clone-_was_ it AF bro?

Excuse the sharp turn here but would like to hear if anyone saw this.

4. America the Hypocracy strikes again.

Don't anyone give me guff on "hypocracy". It's "hypocrisy" + "democracy", not a misspelling, I'm not that retarded.

[KittyWampus]

5. This Would Be An EASY Boycott... Nice High Profile Type

and it'd help make Carlyle Group a household name.

Do YOU want to support war profiteers by going to a movie?

[supercrash]

6. They won't hold the company

It will be flipped for a profit

I can't say when.

[thecrow]

9. ....after the election?

When Michael Moore won't matter to them anymore?
God, this is unbelievable.
The super-rich...where everything is about money.

7. And Brokered by Bain..Mass Gov Romney's Old Company

Ah, gotta love this country.

8. CBS News carried this story tonight, and tied

it to the release of Michael Moore's movie! Wow! They also mentioned that Carlyle is going around buying up a lot of other media.

Since Carlyle = Bush family and Saudis, this is not good news for any of us.

I hope Kerry is committed to breaking up these huge corporations, making maximum use of antitrust laws. He's got a lot of work to do.

[Zinfandel]

11. Your correct, we all have "a lot of work to do." We have to fully expose

these war-mongering, for profit, greedy lying imperialist & fascist! :puke:
:mad:

12. They can't rule the world even though they may try.

There will always be a bootleg copy of anti-propaganda that will be shown in abandoned tunnels, cow pastures and other places they can't police that readily. Anytime you try to suppress something, there are always those who will risk life and limb whether for idealogy or just cash who will deliver what is in demand.

13. Oh man, Loew's is the theater chain in my area.

That doesn't sound good.
