John Kerry Meets With Hollywood Studio Chiefs to Shape ISIS Narrative

48

Uh oh. Get ready for a slew of movies showing us how the Islamic State is not Islamic.

Trust me, you won’t be getting any movies that reflect reality. You won’t be getting movies where the terrorists are Muslim. They’ll still be Russians and Serbs.

Instead, you’ll be getting “Daesh.”

Kerry uploaded a photo of the meeting on Twitter, saying, “Great convo w studio execs in LA. Good to hear their perspectives & ideas of how to counter #Daesh narrative,” deploying a term meant to undercut the terrorist group’s claim to statehood.

Sheesh. Ironically, “the attendees discussed … perceptions of America’s image around the world” — this from the group who has done the most to harm it.

“John Kerry Meets With Hollywood Studio Chiefs to Discuss ISIS,” Variety, February 16, 2016:

Secretary of State John Kerry met with the heads of major studios on Tuesday to talk about how to counter the ISIS narrative.

“Great convo w/ studio execs in LA. Good to hear their perspectives & ideas of how to counter #Daesh narrative,” Kerry tweeted, along with a photo of his meeting with Jeff Shell, chairman of Universal Filmed Entertainment Group; MPAA Chairman Chris Dodd; Warner Bros. Entertainment CEO Kevin Tsujihara; DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg; 20th Century Fox Chairman and CEO Jim Gianopulos; 20th Century Fox Co-Chair Stacey Snider; Sean Bailey, president of Walt Disney Motion Picture Production; Universal Pictures Chairman Donna Langley; Tom Rothman, chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment’s Motion Picture Group; Universal Pictures President Jimmy Horowitz; Amblin Partners CEO Michael Wright; and NBCUniversal Vice Chairman Ron Meyer.

Daesh is an acronym for the Arabic phrase “al-Dawla al-Islamiya fil Iraq wa al-Sham,” another term for ISIS. The terrorist group reportedly hates the term, but western leaders have been using it instead of Islamic State.

The meeting was held at Universal Studios, and lasted about 90 minutes.

One attendee who was there said that the executives also exchanged ideas and observations about studio worldwide marketing of movies and TV shows, a way of showing how narrative storytelling can cross cultures. The attendee described part of the gathering as a “brainstorming session,” including how to involve storytellers in regions afflicted or threatened by ISIS, as a way to counter the narratives promulgated by the terrorist organization. “Let’s figure out how to involve people who are there,” the attendee said.

[the_ad id=”72852″]

The meeting was organized by Shell, who is chair of the Broadcasting Board of Governors. Kerry is a member of the board. Rick Stengel, under secretary of state for public diplomacy and public affairs, suggested that they set up a meeting with Kerry in Los Angeles after the summit with Asian leaders in Palm Springs this past weekend.

Kerry is a Muslim sympathizer and traitor. He and his buddy Obozo engineered the 2015 version of the Munich agreement guaranteeing Iran a path to a nuke and tens of billions to engage in terrorism around the world. Now he wants, like Joseph Goebbels, to rationalize and propagandize this abortion to the public for their “legacy.” The Obama Administration’s version of the big lie repeated through movies and television ad nauseam.

His son in-law is an Iranian muslim. Best man at the wedding was the son of the Iranian foreign minister. Why is anyone surprised that Kerry is pro Iranian, pro Muslim? Why else would Obama choose him of all people to be secretary of state?

“WHAT MANURE”
Hollywood — it is all they have since long ago special effects and video effects took over to the extent that real talent was no longer needed. And after the successful debunking of McCarthy in the mid 1950’s — it has all been upward and onward — progressing right into the sh-thole of COMMUNISM!

Yep and Will Smith, you can boycott the Oscar’s claiming they are too white all you like but to win an Oscar you are going to need more than just the three different facial expressions you have. God, have you seen the promos for “Concussion?” What a turkey.

The execs are in trouble for not making movies that are gender and racially diversified. Kerry was telling them that they will be fined millions if Hollywood doesn’t self censor and gave them a list of 25,000 words that are banned. Gov is trying to protect young adults under the age of 25 from the real world and freedom of speech/expression. Movies will be “safe” for the emotionally fragile and weak minded youth because heaven forbid if they hear or see something they don’t like…oh the humanity.

Hollywood is filled with airheaded self-hating Jews, so they will gladly accommodate an Islam is Peace narrative and Daesh is caused by poverty, Western greed, anything but Islam. Hollywood behaved in the most cowardly fashion in the 1930s when it came to Hitler. Nothing changes. The fact that these airhead hotshot studio heads even meet with Kerry is pathetic, given how the latter is such an Islamophilic Jew-hater.

If an accurate movie is actually made about Daesh, it’s not going to come from Hollywood. Not America, Britain nor Europe. I can’t see it being made, not in the current appeasing political climate.

An accurate movie about Daesh will have to come from Martin Mawyer or Geert Wilders.

Pamela he may even float a few Pro-Palestinian ideas he may have with them G-d forbid ( How in his mind we stole their land or occupy something).He might try and get a couple of Pro-Hillary films out in Oct 2016, ann in addition to want you’ve said somehow ISSIS NURSA. ASSAD CHEMICAL WEAPONS EGYPYT AND YEMEN it’s all because of Israel. Remember how unprofessional both he and Obama became bordering on but-job when they could not twist Netanyahu’s Srm off at the end when talks failed.

Pamela, my take is this: WW2 Hollywood was loyal and put out movies to boost morale at home and for soldiers at a USO. In Obama’s Domain he would meet with Hirohito bow he already did so to the horror of every Vet the Grandson, he would have kid in school honor Shinto holidays wear traditional dress and maybe swear allegence to the Emperor the Sun God part of Shitoism.

Oh deary dear, hollywood risks damnation for making pictures of people, contemporary movies, as an art form, have been going to hell in a hand basket for ears. this will not disturb them.
However as it says “`Abbas said: If you have to do it, draw pictures of trees and other inanimate things. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]”. Hollywood might be ok, as its actors are more vegetation than animal anyway, thereby complieing with islam.
Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) visited me after returning from a journey, and I had a shelf with a thin cloth curtain hanging over it and on which there were portraits. When he saw it, the colour of his face changed (because of anger) and he said, “O Aishah! the most grievous torment from Allah on the Day of Resurrection will be for those who imitate (Allah) in the act of His creation.” `Aishah said: We tore it into pieces and made a cushion or two cushions out of that. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Muslim :: Book 24 : Hadith 5246

A’isha reported that Gabriel (peace be upon him) made a promise with Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) to come at a definite hour; that hour came but he did not visit him. And there was in his hand (in the hand of Allah’s Apostle) a staff. He threw it from his hand and said: Never has Allah or His messengers (angels) ever broken their promise. Then he cast a glance (and by chance) found a puppy under his cot and said: ‘A’isha, when did this dog enter here? She said: By Allah, I don’t know. He then commanded and it was turned out. Then Gabriel came and Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) said to him: You promised me and I waited for you, but you did not come, whereupon he said: It was the dog in your house which prevented me (to come), for we (angels) do not enter a house in which there is a dog or a picture. Dogs are very good judges of character, they recognized an emissary of evil, even though it disguised itself as an angel. That is why muhammad hated dogs, they see him for what he is.
However, the Prophet did allow the drawing of inanimate objects such as trees and rocks — anything which does not possess a soul.
Ibn Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) saying, “Every painter will go to Hell, and for every portrait he has made, there will be appointed one who will chastise him in the Hell.” Ibn `Abbas said: If you have to do it, draw pictures of trees and other inanimate things. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Another item to note about @JohnKerry s thought process : the root of the problem @benrhodes is telling you LAND is based on IDEOLOGY the IDEOLOGY IS MAINSTREAM ISLAM practiced in both IRAN & SAUDI ARABIA the standard bearers of Shia & Sunni #ISLAM. If You imply it is just about LAND without IDEOLOGY you are Lying. The underling principAl applies to Israel Judea Samaria and Golan plus Jerusalem. The Palestinian will be hungry unless only they occupy the LAND as Saladin did once.

The only antidote currently available in popular culture to Hollywood’s depiction of Islam:

BABY, 2015, written and directed by Neeraj Pandey.

Starring Akshay Kumar, Danny Denzongpa, Anupam Kher, the adorable Taapsee Pannu, newcomer Madhurima Tuli, Rana Daggubati, Kay Kay Menon, and Sushant Singh.

Also starring Rasheed Naz as Pakistani imam/terror-mastermind Maulana Mohammed Rahman.

In Hindi with English subtitles.

Must Watch! Baby: official theatrical trailer

A feel-good, patriotic action/suspense film about an experimental elite counter-terrorist team created by the Indian government to prevent future Mumbai-style attacks.

Similar in style and format to an American Mission Impossible type of film, Baby was made by visionaries who part ways with the clueless, gonadless dhimmis of Hollywood (and with many of their own colleagues in the Hindi-language entertainment industry) by drawing an explicit connection between Islam and Islamic terrorism.

Baby portrays heroes who have nothing but contempt for bureaucrats who have contempt for them. It also features several unforgettable lines of sly, dark humor come through even in the English subtitles.

At times it seems like some sort of mass hypnosis has been run off on these people, these leaders, who act as if what they’re doing is normal, as if representatiing the United States means promoting the enemy to continue doing the things they are doing to put Americans at risk. It’s like The movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers except it’s the brains of these so called leaders of the West that are being invaded.
