THE PRINCIPLE - Rocky Mountain Pictures to Distribute Highly-Anticipated Documentary, Theatrically in North America. Film Set To Open in Chicago on October 24
Most Orthodox Jews at least are sympathetic to Geocentrism: "It is my firm belief that it is the Sun that revolves around the Earth, as I have declared publicly on various occasions and in discussion with professors specializing in this field of science" (Lubavitcher Rebbe 1962).
But atheistic Jews like Krauss, and their gentile lackies, are going to throw up a solid wall of flak, not against the scientific evidence that supports it, but focussing SOLELY on Sungenis' supposed Holocaust denial, thereby attempting to discredit everything. We hope that Sungenis does not make a juicy slow- moving target and that you have the appropriate rebuttals/denials/apologies fully ready, so that the impact of "The Principle" is not allowed to be detracted!
Keep in mind that the attempt to make "The Principle", somehow, about the Jews, is a devastating confirmation that our opposition is out of intellectual ammunition.
As we have seen repeatedly, the hysteria which our film is eliciting from some quarters results from the fact that certain deeply-ingrained assumptions about reality do not stand up to critical examination.
It is a difficult thing to have one's foundational assumptions about reality questioned, on the grounds upon which one might have felt completely certain and secure.
The response, in some cases, will be to abandon any pretext of honest intellectual engagement, and proceed to the politics of personal destruction.
If The Principle is wrong, it should be easy enough to disprove - after all, haven't we known for 500 years that only silly people believe the earth stands still? So rather than resort to mud slinging, maybe one scientist out there will have the courtesy to reiterate the proofs of heliocentrism, so we can once and for all put this to bed. But if all the movie gets from the scientific community are insults, I would begin to think that maybe it's not so easy to prove after all.
Finally. ..
ReplyDeleteSorry for the delay.
DeleteIt appears some rather influential folks are quite serious about making thiings as difficult as possible for this film.
I could make a movie just about that.
"I could make a movie just about that." Yah, you could. The only problem I can forsee is finding an actor big enough to play Mark Shea!
