   I found your site after my friend brought this racist pos movie named obsession. I looked up the Clarion Fund and eventually found this.

   This might interest you…

   Found using google.com are two pdf files on the obsession website which outline an apparent exchange between a Rep. Hasner of Flordia and Dr. Machento, president of the University of Flordia. Seems Hasner was pissed off when Flordia refused to show this POS movie.

   Maybe it reflects the nature of the Hafiz el-Assad regime, but Syrian origin psychiatrist Wafa Sultan and German Professor Bassam Tibi share a lot of the basic Neocon view of the world with Zuhdi Jasser.

   When I met Tibi at Harvard, I was not particularly impressed with his understanding of Central and Eastern European history and politics.

   I give him credit for reading Hannah Arendt (“The Totalitarianism of Jihadist Islamism and its Challenge to Europe and to Islam.” in: Totalitarian Movements and Political Religions, Vol. 8, No. 1, March 2007, 35–54.), but I do not believe he understood her or her context, and I have some real problems when he applies her half-understood concepts to issues of Islamic politicization as found in the Islamic world and in Europe.

   The backers of Obsession also employed a promoter who works for the anti-Obama campaign organisation Our Country Deserves Better. It seems likely that he was hired through his PR group Russo Marsh & Rogers, which has many Republican affiliations (see its Sourcewatch article.

   [...] has been hired by Clarion to market the new film “The Third Jihad” – they are a Republican PR firm.  According to a Florida paper article about a showing of Third Jihad in Arizona, “Brent Lowder, a partner in Frontline Strategies LLC, represented the nonprofit Clarion Fund, which produced the film.” Brent Lowder ran Rudy Giuliani’s California Presidential campaign.  ‘Third Jihad’ rolls out into private showings in eight states, marketed by Rudy Guiliani operative 10/12/08 [...]

   My question is this:

   Why these groups make these kinds of videos? What they want to accomplish from these videos?

   Are they planning to kill most of the Muslims in America – or – are they planning to put all Muslims in concentration camps?

   What is the end-game here?

     They don’t need an end-game to start this game. It will take on a life of it’s own. Even the money backers who put Hitler in eventually had to flee to South America. They had no idea it was going to end up in concentration camps with gas chambers.

     These rich people doing this will create a Frankenstein and that Frankenstein will be made by the heart and manipulated minds of innocent Americans who are being fleeced of all their property and hard work while fed with these lies into their fearful minds.

     They know not what fury they will unleash in the people when the fire really rages here from all the economic upward redistribution that is going on here.

     But, one thing is certain. These rich people will be on private planes out of here. Only the “less rich” amongst them who don’t have those planes will be stuck here. And, don’t be surprised when the WASPs turn on the Jews on the way out the door!
