War Inc. "Synopsis: Recreating his
role as a hitman, John Cusack gives a hilarious performance in "War, Inc.",
a political satire set in Turaqistan, a Country occupied by an American
private corporation run by a former U.S. Vice President (Dan Aykroyd).
In an effort to monopolize the opportunities the war-torn nation offers,
the corporation's CEO hires Hauser (Cusack) to kill a Middle Eastern oil
minister." ... "Now, struggling with his own growing demons, the assassin
must pose as the corporation's Trade Show Producer in order to pull off
his latest hit, while maintaining his cover by organizing the high-profile
wedding of Yonica Babyyeah (Hilary Duff), an outrageous Central Asian pop
star, and keeping a sexy left-wing reporter (Marisa Tomei) in check." -http://FirstLookStudios.com

John Cusack interview - "“War,
Inc.”: John Cusack’s New Film Satirizes the Corruption, Profiteering and
Hubris Behind the Iraq War." ... "John Cusack joins us to talk
about War, Inc., his new film taking on issues few in Hollywood
today would dare to: war profiteering, mercenaries, political corruption
and embedded journalism. A political satire, the film stars Cusack as Brand
Hauser, a hit-man for hire who is deployed to the fictional country of
Turaqistan to kill a Middle Eastern oil baron. Hauser’s employer is Tamerlane,
a secretive for-profit military corporation headed by a former US vice
president played by Dan Aykroyd. We also speak to Democracy Now!
correspondent Jeremy Scahill, author of the bestselling book Blackwater:
The Rise of the World’s Most Powerful Mercenary Army." -DemocracyNow.org
"John Cusack ["WAR,
INC." movie interview]: Outsourced Warfare Represents a "Radical, Dangerous,
Disgusting Ideology."" [By Joshua Holland (1, 2,
3,
4)
-AlterNet.org ] An interview with Cusack
about his latest film, War Inc., which takes the outsourcing of
military operations to the absurd." ... "John Cusack's new film, War, Inc.,
is set in a fictionalized Iraq. It's a funny film. It might have been tough
to watch if it weren't, given the level of destruction that five years
of occupation have wrought on the real country." ... "Cusack, along with
co-writers Mark Leyner and Jeremy Pikser, offer up a dystopian vision of
the future of privatized warfare set in "Turaqistan," a presumably oil-rich
country that, if it really existed, would surely be somewhere that most
Americans couldn't find on a map." ... "The film's humor rests on very
real and demonstrably disastrous trends in neoconservative foreign policy
of recent years -- a lethal war of choice and profit, the dismantling of
states and plundering of their resources, a profound cultural insensitivity,
lack of accountability and reckless disregard for easily-predicted consequences
-- which are then pushed to the absurd." ... "In Iraq, journalists are
embedded with troops and tour Potemkin villages to demonstrate progress;
in Turaqistan, they're given virtual-reality tours of combat without leaving
the cozy confines of "Emerald City," War, Inc.'s version of Baghdad's
Green Zone. In Iraq, contractors like Halliburton have squeezed billions
out of the treasury for substandard work that has left the country's infrastructure
decimated; Turaqistan is wholly-managed by the Halliburton-esque Tamerlane
corporation, and the tanks that patrol the country's burned-out streets
are covered with NASCAR-style logos for everything from Popeye's Chicken
to Golden Palace online gambling." ...
"Joshua Holland: Tell me a little bit about your new
project."
"John Cusack: Well, we thought of it as an incendiary political
cartoon that would hopefully put America's current imperial adventures
in Iraq into a kind of a larger context. And maybe put a different lens
on what privatization means; what this plan has been and what it's been
like when people try to privatize the very core things it means to be a
state. And what it means to spread an ideology like that across the globe."
... "There are 180,000 contractors in Iraq and about 160,000 troops, right?
And if one just takes that trend to its logical conclusion, well that's
where "War, Inc." is set. It takes place at a time in the near future when
warfare us an entirely corporate affair."
"Holland: As a political nerd, it struck me as a highly referential
film. I felt like your character, to some extent, was loosely patterned
maybe on John Perkins, who wrote Confessions of an Economic Hit Man."
"Cusack: You know, that book came out when we were already making
the film, I believe. And I know we were writing it when Naomi Klein's groundbreaking
piece called "Baghdad Year Zero" came out in Harper's. She's a journalist
I've always greatly admired and respected. And then as we were making the
movie, she was writing the Shock Doctrine. I remember being aware
of it while we were writing it. And I remember talking about it. But you
know, this character was also based on [former U.S. Envoy to Iraq] Paul
Bremer flying in while Baghdad [Iraq's capital] was still burning and literally
ruling by Fiat. Sitting down in Saddam's old palace and banging out 50
or 60 new laws that would allow 100 percent foreign ownership of previously
state-owned industry by these outside corporations. And he was running
around in those Brooks Brothers suits and the military boots when he did
it."
"Holland: I thought that I saw a lot of Naomi Klein in Marisa
Tomei's character."
"Cusack: Yeah, I think it wasn't Naomi straight up, but I think
it was Katrina Vanden Huevel. It was Lara Logan and it was Naomi. It was,
you know, any of the great journalists out there who are women ... Christiane
Amanpour."
"Holland: Now, the film presents kind of a dystopian vision of
where we're at or where we're heading -- tell me a little bit more about
this central theme, this idea of outsourcing warfare to this kind of Halliburton-like
mega corporation."
"Cusack: Well, it was an ideological viral disaster -- that's
what this war was. It wasn't Paul Bremer, although a lot of people would
like to paint him as the fall guy. It's the entire system of thinking that
is insane. The Shock doctrine does a great job chronicling what's essentially
been a 35-year campaign to destroy the New Deal and privatize everything,
and the use of disasters and wars to justify "shock therapy" -- to pass
legislation that would never get passed in any country that wasn't reeling
from trying to bury their dead or stop from being tortured or killed or
trying to get water or food." ... "So I think it's really about the entire
system and that entire ideology. There seems to be these companies that
helped create a new market by creating a war, and then they bar the competitors
from entering into the clean up. In the meantime, they've privatized the
entire country, which is basically strip mining it. Basically, it's a land-grab.
So not only are we looking at a murder scene, but it's the scene of an
armed robbery." ... "And that's the version of democracy ... the version
of a free market that we're not only supposed to worship, but into which
we're also supposed to keep feeding bodies. We have to kill to feed this
kind of twisted version of their free market. And [American political leaders]
seem entirely unconcerned that Halliburton and Bechtel -- and Parsons and
KPMG and Blackwater and the rest -- are kind of madly gorging off of this
protectionist racket." ... "If you really think about outsourcing all the
essential things it means to be a state, like armies, disaster relief,
interrogation, border patrol -- all of these functions -- then I don't
really know what's left in terms of the sovereignty of a country. I don't
really know what's left." ... "So it's not even about free markets. I mean,
if these [corporations] want to just go invade a country and take it over,
and take their chances on the open market, that's one thing. But to use
the U.S. military and our Treasury Department as their ATM to do it --
that's ... that's cause for revolt." ...

"A Global Warning"
"by far the most terrifying film you will ever see."
"An Inconvenient
Truth"
"Humanity is sitting on a ticking time bomb. If the vast majority of the
world's scientists are right, we have just ten years to avert a major catastrophe
that could send our entire planet into a tail-spin of epic destruction
involving extreme weather, floods, droughts, epidemics and killer heat
waves beyond anything we have ever experienced."
The science behind
the movie An Inconvenient Truth:
"WHAT IS GLOBAL WARMING?" ... "Carbon dioxide and other gases warm
the surface of the planet naturally by trapping solar heat in the atmosphere.
This is a good thing because it keeps our planet habitable. However, by
burning fossil fuels such as coal, gas and oil and clearing forests we
have dramatically increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s
atmosphere and temperatures are rising." ... "The vast majority of scientists
agree that global warming is real, it’s already happening and that it is
the result of our activities and not a natural occurrence. The evidence
is overwhelming and undeniable." ... "We’re already seeing changes. Glaciers
are melting, plants and animals are being forced from their habitat, and
the number of severe storms and droughts is increasing." -ClimateCrisis.net
