A look into 'hush' Politics, October 29, 2006
This review is from: Terrorstorm - A History of Government Sponsored Terrorism (DVD)
I obtained this recently from another source. It is an incredible expose of actual mainstream television (UK AND US) and declassified documentation as well as newspaper articles and such that show the underbelly of 'hush' politics. A whole lot happened in the UK that most Americans are unaware of. Most of us are also unaware how much it matters to all of us what happens 'over there'. Not to mention some other topics like questions about September 11th that we all have. As well as historical discussion about dictatorship and the rise and fall of facism in Germany under Hitler. This is JAM packed with information based on solid evidence and not just a DVD full of 'Conspiracies gone wild'. The releaser of the DVD was also kind enough to pack in over an HOUR of extra features outside of the 2 hour film itself. This is a well-written and directed film about subjects that most other areas of media are afraid to touch. Because it can implicate some very important people into some very serious claims. Hard evidence and a powerful narrarator make this a true must-have documentary DVD for this holiday and way beyond.

In the footsteps of 'Loose Change', June 30, 2007
Alex Jones is a phenomenon. A well versed man in the world of politics and conspiracy. He is articulate and motivated by a disgust of most things political. He has created some of the best films exposing the corruption of world leaders that have ever been produced. This film is no exception. As the wisdom of the creators of the film 'Loose Change' has unfolded, Mr. Jones has decided to follow a similar path with his film 'terrorstorm'. New information simply floods the world of news about 9/11. Mr. Jones is now releasing an updated version of his film in the form of a 'SECOND EDITION'. This film, while at times feeling a little sensationalized, is the pinnacle of what 9/11 expose films are all about. It is an incredible expose of actual mainstream television (UK AND US) and declassified documentation as well as newspaper articles and such that show the underbelly of 'hush' politics. A whole lot happened in the UK that most Americans are unaware of. Most of us are also unaware how much it matters to all of us what happens 'over there'. Not to mention some other topics like questions about September 11th that we all have. As well as historical discussion about dictatorship and the rise and fall of facism in Germany under Hitler. This is JAM packed with information based on solid evidence and not just a DVD full of 'Conspiracies gone wild'. Let Alex Jones help you to understand what a large portion of the media are telling you to ignore. Then, think for yourself. Over the years so many things have been exposed about government corruption and lies that to ignore this possibility would be a disservice to yourself and your country. If you watch and then seek to find out if this information is accurate and not just from the minds of paranoid crazies then you could consider yourself informed and decide what YOU believe. Not what you are TOLD to believe. I appeal to your common sense and integrity. Give this information a chance to help you understand the possibilities. Because they are not so far-fetched. All of this has happened before. Who's to say it didn't happen 6 years ago? Please consider this film. Thank you for reading.

Terrorstorm is a must-buy!, July 31, 2007
I have the original editions of Terrorstorm: the original version as shown at the 9/11 Neo-Con Symposium, and the "proper" edition that was sold in the Infowars shop and here on Amazon as well as numerous retail sellers. When I first heard Alex Jones mention that he would be putting out another edition of Terrorstorm, I asked myself "What else could he do to improve this". Well, there's a LOT of new information that didn't come public until well after the original release, and the amount of new information well-justifies this purchase.
You still get the same great film with a detailed documentation of various false-flag operations dating back to the 1933 Reichstagg Fire which set the stage for the Nazi Empire. You also get coverage of other false-flag operations such as the joint-CIA/MI6 "Operation Ajax", the Gulf of Tonkin Incident (which Rosie O'Donnell outright mentioned on "The View"), Operation Gladio, and the USS Liberty Incident.
This documentation of false-flag operations perfectly segues into the tragic 2005 London bombings which were clearly used to get Tony Blair re-elected as Prime Minister and the ensuing events such as the Brazilian youth who was murdered by British police as well as a brainwashed fruit stand worker who actually believes you can give up liberty for freedom. In addition, Alex Jones participates in a protest in front of the British Parliament building, only to have police ask him for his information which is used to enroll Jones in a terrorism database. A terrorism database for PROTESTING!
The rest of the original film, including the protest at Crawford, Texas, with Cindy Sheehan and former CIA agent Ray McGovern, is still here, and is still as pertinent as ever before, as well as a neo-con zombie who thinks wearing a T-shirt that says "I Love Halliburton" is patriotic. The film also includes Charlie Sheen going public about his suspicions about the "official" 9/11 story, as well as the historic 9/11 Scholars Neo-Con Symposium meeting which featured noted people such as Jones and Sheen, as well as former BYU physics professor Steven Jones.
What sets this edition apart from the original editions is the inclusion of new footage. The most important new footage in this edition has to be of mainstream media, especially the BBC and CNN, reporting that WTC Building #7, aka the Solomon Brothers Building, had collapsed before the building actually fell. Pay close attention to the BBC's coverage, which featured BBC reporter Jane Standley reporting that the building had collapsed - not only 23 minutes before it actually fell, but with the building still standing in the background! Also included are interviews with Gore Vidal and former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura, with Ventura - a former Navy SEAL - raising his suspicions about the official 9/11 story by talking in great detail about Operation Northwoods.
The original editions of Terrorstorm were, and still are, great. However, this edition really sets it apart from anything else. Video production (including camera work and graphics and video transfer) and audio production (including the excellent soundtrack by Graham Reynolds, who did work on the soundtrack for "A Scanner Darkly") are superb, especially considering that this film was basically done on a shoestring budget. I commend Alex Jones, Paul and Steve Watson, Graham Reynolds, and everybody else for their fine work on this film.
This film is a definite must-buy!
