[By James Perloff] While researching my next 9/11 blog post—about the many anomalies of the planes on September 11, 2001—I went through the recovered forum threads for the now-defunct website of Pilots for 9/11 Truth. In doing so, I learned, for the first time, of a 2012 movie about 9/11 that I’d never heard of—Operation Terror.
There are a ton of videos about 9/11. But this one’s different. It’s a drama that tells the story from the perspective of Deep State oligarchs who wanted it, and Deep State operatives who planned and executed it.
I downloaded the film from Amazon. I personally liked it very much. I say “personally” because taste in movies varies so much amongst individuals. Some people will love the movie; others may dislike it. I expect that those who dislike it will do so either because they’re accustomed to big-budget films with big-name actors, or (more likely) because elements of the film contain hypotheses that disagree with their own theories of how certain dimensions of 9/11 were carried out. Sure, the film depicts the CIA directing 9/11 without reference to Mossad, but only so many details can be packed into a screenplay plot.
With those disclaimers said, I was amazed at how seamlessly writer-producer Art Olivier weaved in dozens of 9/11 elements that have been proven to be true. Many real-life characters are portrayed—Dick Cheney, Norman Mineta, Scooter Libby, Osama Bin Laden, Jane Standley, Mohamed Atta, Barry Jennings, Zacarias Moussaoui, as well as others whose names were slightly changed.
I was impressed by Operation Terror’s production values—pacing, dialogue, acting, cinematography, music, and the directing of Paul Cross (who also plays a role in the film).
Art Olivier has also had a very active career in politics. He was the mayor of Bellflower, CA in the late 1990s, the Libertarian Party’s Vice-Presidential nominee in the 2000 U.S. Presidential race, and the Libertarian Party candidate in the 2006 California gubernatorial election, won by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
