How can we make this a game-changing, paradigm-shifting movie?
The Peace Dividend film will overwhelmingly and convincingly lay bare the devastating domestic consequences of our out-of-control military, perpetual war, the War On Terror, and the delusions of world empire which have gripped our power-drunk political leaders.
“WAR IS MAKING YOU POOR!”
We’ll conclusively expose exactly how fraud and misallocation of trillions of dollars has compromised the quality of life for all Americans, except of course for the ultra-wealthy. How families and communities have been destroyed. How education has deteriorated, schools have had to close. How towns and cities are without basic services and many have gone bankrupt. How tens of millions of everyday people in the richest country in the world have been consigned to poverty and bare subsistence, how individuals – especially war veterans – have been abandoned, their talents wasted, their lives voided.
But this film isn’t a dreary lecture or courtly sermon. It’s not about charts and statistics. It will be as subtle as a kick in the stomach or a bomb going off in the kitchen. Because …
WE’RE GOING TO BUILD REALISTIC FULL-SCALE MOCK-UPS OF:
F-35 Lightning II … Cost: $110 million / $42,000 per hour to fly [ DOD buying 2,443 ]
MQ-9 Reaper Drone … Cost: $12.5 million [ DOD buying 346 ]
Tomahawk Block IV Cruise Missile … Cost: $1 million each [ 4,000+ purchased by DOD ]
… and haul them to several underprivileged, struggling communities, towns in decline. We’ll park them in front of closed schools, abandoned factories, community projects that had to be mothballed because of lack of funds. Then we’ll gather the people of those communities and show them why there’s no money for them, just money for war, money for bombing weddings and hospitals in the Middle East, money for military junk that we don’t need, money for boondoggles like the F-35, for the 40,000+ bombs we’ve dropped this year alone. “The money for your school went up in a big puff of smoke overseas.”
