Hello all,
A small request for help here is anyone is web-savvy. Looking at the list of supporters from various sites, T-Mobile, USA comes up as an advertiser of Sunday’s event.
As most of you know, I reside in Germany and am an active member of Die Linke/Partei des Demokratischen Sozialismus (PDS) as my political party. So that’s my disclaimer, I’ve always said that I am a socialist.
Nevertheless, I’ve read disturbing news, without evidence, that T-Mobile USA is supporting advertising for the upcoming or perhaps cancelled “Path to 9/11”.
Whether it is cancelled or not is irrevelent. What matters to me, is if T-Mobile actually supported this piece of propaganda in the first place.
T-Mobile is a part of T-Mobile/Deutsche Telekom Germany. Now think about it: a German firm with a connection to it’s American counter-part supporting, through advertising, a propaganda film designed to put the right wing back into power in the United States. Something is wrong here. An international conglomerate affecting US politics?
The scandal here would be so enormous as this is so much like 1933: (Leni Riefenstahl in 1933, she directed the short film Der Sieg des Glaubens (Victory of Faith), an hour-long feature about the Nazi party rally at Nuremberg in 1933 (released on DVD in 2003).
So what I am trying to do, is research and ask help for web-links confirming the T-Mobile transaction. I will then take it to higher-ups in the Party for discussion (we have a voice in Parliament in Berlin). I am having problems finding the links, but this is what I wrote to T-Mobile, USA:
“Dear T-Mobile USA,
It has come to my attention that T-Mobile USA will support advertising for the ABC Docudrama “The Path to 9/11”. I wish to confirm if this is true or not.
Not only am I a T-Mobile customer, but I am also an active member of Die Linke/Partei des Demokratischen Sozialismus (PDS) NRW. If it is true that a company associated with T-Mobile, DE is supporting an obvious propaganda film intended to influence US politics, then it is our duty here in Germany, considering the history, to bring this matter into the realm of political discourse. I am sure you understand the sensitivity and complexity of this matter and would not want to make a mountain out of a molehill, therefore an affirmation or denial of advertising support would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much,”
If anyone has any other information, it would be greatly appreciated.
