Fahrenheit 9/11 victims the Carlyle Group buy cinema chain

Zinfandel | 27.06.2004 17:59 | Analysis | Globalisation | Repression

The Carlyle Group whose ties include members of the Bush family and until recently the Saudi bin Laden family have bought the Loews Cineplex chain.

The film Fahrenheit 9/11 exposes links between the Bush family and the bin Laden family - links which were heavily glued by their mutual interests in the Carlyle Group whose other luminaries include former US Defense Secretary and Deputy CIA Director Frank Carlucci, former US Secretary of State James Baker and former UK Prime Minister John Major.

The US Republican Party has through its use of PR firm Russo Marsh & Rogers and a string of bogus grass roots organisations (see:  http://www.moveamericaforward.org ) attempted to prevent cinemas from showing the film and moves have been made to block the film from being shown for technical legal reasons.

Now the Carlyle Group, who no critical account of September 11th or the wars in its aftermath ever omits to mention, have bought Loews Cineplex chain which has more than 200 theatres and 2,200 screens worldwide.

It would be reasonable to speculate that these cinemas are not going to be showing Fahrenheit 9/11.
