Movie Review: The Occupation of the American Mind - Narrated by Roger Waters of Pink Floyd



"The Occupation of the American Mind" (24:10) was screened at the Berkeley Public Library on June 6, 2016 for free. It was sponsored by NorCal Friends of Sabeel and Jewish Voice for Peace Bay Area.

Pink Sut Jhally was the Producer and Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters is the narrator of the documentary film.

The Occupation of the American Mind

This documentary is a deeply needed and well-made introduction to the history and tragedy of the criminal Apartheid Occupation of Palestine by Zionists who have created "The Jewish State". It is also a story of global political machinations that has led to the support of a supremacist ideology and political entity by countries who would not tolerate such a thing in their home countries. 

As significant as this new documentary will soon be recognized to be, it must be said that it still has serious flaws of omission. You are certainly able to get the omitted history from numerous sources, such as Alison Weir's new book, "Against Our Better Judgment: The Hidden History of How the U.S. Was Used To Create Israel". 

Most glaringly absent in "The Occupation of the American Mind" is the omitted history of historically documented agreements made by the Zionists: "The Transfer Agreement" made with the Nazis, and the "Balfour Declaration" to Lord Rothschild made by the British Empire that was a key factor in getting the USA involved in WWI in Europe on the side of British side.

It can fairly be said that you can only accomplish so much in a short documentary, and that should be conceded in this case where the subject is opened so well to the uninitiated. Likewise Alison Weir's book is also only an introduction to a complex historical problem, and she acknowledges that. In fact, her book is only 94 pages, and the "End Notes" comprise of 135 pages of information that not only substantiate what Alison Weir says, they give the reader many avenues for a deeper exploration of a subject which impacts much more tellingly on your life and your world than you may realize. Having Roger Waters bravely serve as the narrator is helping this happen. If you are going to use your celebrity for genuine justice, this is how you do it. Not like Bono does by using his celebrity to meet with and legitimize the "masters of war".

Alison Weir's book is also only an introduction to a complex historical problem, and she acknowledges that. In fact, her book is only 94 pages, and the rest "end notes" to both substantiate what she says and to give you credible avenues to pursue deeper into the subject which impacts much more tellingly on your life and your world than you may realize.
