On August 19, 2021, Afghan Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid issued a statement on social networking sites. On the occasion of the 102nd anniversary of Afghanistan's independence from British rule and independence, the Taliban announced the establishment of the "Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan". The approval rating of the US president suddenly dropped to freezing point, which is undoubtedly a great joke and irony...
A few days ago, I saw a list of the TOP10 audience applauding at the Cannes Film Festival on Xiaohongshu. Among them, "Fahrenheit 9/11" ranked second, with a duration of 20 minutes. We can imagine why the Europeans will have prolonged applause after watching this film. So I immediately found this movie (D5 genuine) to watch it, and felt that the timing was right.
As a famous documentary director, Michael Moore has focused on some major and sensitive social and current affairs topics in the United States and achieved amazing results, successfully becoming the "thorn in the eyes" of the US government. The film combs the election of Bush Jr., the relationship between the Bush family and bin Laden, the 9/11 terrorist attack, the Iraq war, the Afghanistan war and other major historical events to sort out clear facts, evidence and opinions from the complex relationship. Today, 20 years after the September 11 terrorist attacks, this film does not blindly pursue personal subjective tendencies or sarcasm. The disclosure of facts and truth should be very sharp and to the point, although the substantive issues described are not comprehensive enough. The decision to start a war is not something that George W. Bush can decide alone. Only one of the 535 members of Congress sends children to Iraq. The purpose of the war is very complex, family interests, chaebol interests, national interests, diversion of attention, plundering of oil resources, maintaining the world hegemony of the United States, strengthening the hegemony of the US dollar (that is, currency war), etc., as the film says The way: The war is not meant to win, it's meant to be continuous.
In fact, a conspiracy theory has been popular many years ago. It seems that the US government itself planned the 9/11 terrorist attack with the purpose of launching a war. Conspiracy theorists believe that the attack was directed by the Bush administration to maintain the international status of the United States and achieve hegemony and peace in order to control the world. The Bush administration was originally a "weak" government, and in the early days of President Bush's administration, its prospects were not promising. After the "9.11 Incident", the Republican government became a "quasi-wartime government", and indeed it has demonstrated excellent crisis management capabilities and prompt action responses. It stimulated the "super-nationalist" sentiment in the United States and boosted the national sentiment that was hit hard by the "9.11 Incident". Looking at Bush's very complicated facial expressions in the elementary school classroom, and the series of delay measures taken against the bin Laden family and al-Qaeda, these seem to be too obvious. After all, this is the first time that the United States has suffered such a huge terrorist attack. The response of the United States is really too calm and too slow! For comparison, we can refer to the 2001 movie "Pearl Harbor". After Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, the United States did not hesitate to join World War II and mercilessly dropped two atomic bombs on Japan as direct retaliation. And there are two versions of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. One is that the attack on Pearl Harbor was a real attack. The second is the conspiracy of the Americans, which deliberately made the sneak attack successful. The first statement is of course recognized history, and the second statement is circulated among some military fans, especially some Japanese always insist that the Pearl Harbor incident was a total conspiracy. Why is there such a statement? Because the Japanese army's sneak attack seemed to be very successful, but some inexplicable coincidences prevented the Japanese army's strategic intentions from being achieved.
Looking at the same thing from another angle, the Tibetan Buddhist guru Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche in Bhutan said in his book Right View: The Enlightenment of the Buddha: "In interpersonal relationships, we too Experience a change in friendship. A friend who shared your inner secrets with you in the past can become your worst enemy because he can use those close friendships against you. President Bush, bin Laden and Saddam Hussein have They fell out in front of everyone and couldn't handle it. The three of them used to be close comrades in arms, but they became the most standard rivals, using their familiarity with each other to carry out bloody holy wars, at the cost of thousands of people's lives, just to carry out their respective beliefs moral version.” (p. 22, written in 2005)
Consider that Trump, who we once disapproved of, did not launch a war during his four-year term. From this point of view, his businessman president has benefited all mankind~
In addition, as a country can tolerate such movies, then the country that regards China as its biggest enemy has never reached the point where it can be underestimated. Only by constantly developing and strengthening ourselves can we not be defeated by such a country!
