Watch: Hijacking Catastrophe: 9/11, Fear & the Selling of American Empire 2004 123movies, Full Movie Online – For those of us who agree with many of Michael Moore’s views but despise his irresponsible tactics, “Fahrenheit 9/11” was a horrifying movie for all the wrong reasons. Happily, Moore’s brand of intellectual con artistry is entirely absent from Earp and Jhally’s “Hijacking Catastrophe,” which is quietly matter-of-fact and all the more compelling as a result. No fraudulent newspaper clippings, deceptive editing, histrionic bombast, or grossly misleading innuendos are to be found here; just a bunch of intelligent, articulate people making some devastating points. The film is tightly edited and fascinating throughout.9/10. Highly recommended..
Plot: This documentary places the Bush Administration’s original justifications for war in Iraq within the larger context of a two-decade struggle by neo-conservatives to dramatically increase military spending while projecting American power and influence globally by means of force.

Brilliantly portrayed with brutal truths that should terrify every American. Possible Spoiler
Granted, this film is not as “glitzy” as Michael Moore’s, and it isn’t as in-your-face. However, that doesn’t not take away from it’s message, and some may argue it enhances it.**********Film Spoiler Warning***********
While I don’t think one can spoil a documentary, I’ll put that in nonetheless.
While Fahrenheit dealt more with Bush’s hypocrisy and both his dealings and benefits financially with the Arab world, Hijacking Catastrophe widens the camera, focusing on “Neo-Conservative” chickenhawks of the Republican party (Rumsfeld, Bush, Cheyney, etc.) and illustrates how they’re right-wing foreign policies, schemed since the post cold-war early 80’s, have been systematically put into place since 9/11.
A brilliant film. Impressive list of world-renowned thinkers, ex-military, and political activists weigh-in on the topic. The film ends leaving the viewer with some scary conclusions on how the Bush Government and the Republican Party view it’s place in the world, and furthermore, how they see the world as something to be conquered.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
