Netflix' 9/11 20th Anniversay Propaganda - part five: Turning Point [new]

As a way of acknowledging this critical event 20 years ago I take a look at two newly-added features on Netflix, the Hollywood film Worth and the documentary limited series Turning Point: 9/11 and the War on Terror. Are these ultimately about the victors writing the history? Or just burying it?

I got cut off yet again at the end, and what I was saying was that one of their experts through the course of this documentary was Bruce Hoffman, who is identified as a senior fellow at the Council of Foreign Relations (itself a long-standing deep state institution). But he also has a history of working for the RAND Corporation, the epitome of the CIA contractor going back at least 60 years (something like 90% of their work is done for the CIA) in their Center for Middle East Policy, worked directly for the CIA after 9/11 and Iraq, and he is identified by his current employer, Georgetown University, as professor and their director of their "Center for Jewish Civilization". Huh.

Overall this documentary as an example of the cementing of popular history seems to focus so much on Afghanistan as a way of steering clear of the Greater Israel Project as definable as the true motivation behind two decades of ME war, and to legitimize that as having actually been about terrorism. And of course what went wrong was an inexplicable series of errors and bad decisions by policymakers, some right out of the playbook of past war errors. As opposed to the possibility that, for the most part, the US achieved the desired ends of those who really drove all these wars from the beginning, the destruction of states most threatening to "our greatest ally". But that is simply erased from this documentary, and at least in part by "experts" like Hoffman, whose personal interest is completely obvious, a long-standing ethno-operative in the fear-based paradigm of terrorism who after this success now runs a center for Jewish civilization. Huh.
