Mike has opened a new website (click title to entry - thank you) in celebration of his latest movie. There is room now for those that frequent the website to register comments. It has the promise to be a place where the Peace Movement can come to exchange ideas.
Capitalism, A Love Story opens today across the USA. Mike is looking for pictures and films to be submitted to his website.
...Please see "Capitalism: A Love Story" this weekend. Take a bunch of friends and make it an event. Last weekend in New York and L.A. many shows sold out (making "Capitalism" the biggest per screen average at the box office for 2009), so get your tickets early. And if you get a chance, send me a photo of what opening night looks like in your city and I'll post it on my website. C'mon, friends -- RISE UP! This is our moment. And it comes with popcorn! Not bad! Thank you so very much for all your support and encouragement over the years. Yours,Michael Moore MMFlint@aol.comMichaelMoore.com P.S.

The filmmaker labels capitalism ‘an evil system' as he takes on corporate America once again in his new film. Capitalism: A Love Story opens Friday (click here) Brad Wheeler From Tuesday's Globe and Mail Last updated on Wednesday, Sep. 30, 2009 02:54AM EDT “It's absolutely important to question what's going on,” says the rumpled provocateur Michael Moore, commenting on the fourth estate. “There should be a healthy dose of cynicism amongst reporters, and there isn't. You're not allowed to go certain places or ask certain questions. I think that's wrong.” On the way into a hotel room to speak to the director about his new documentary Capitalism: A Love Story , which opens Friday, I had brushed shoulders with the elephant exiting the room. The filmmaker inside makes it his business to air obvious but controversial truths – there are no elephants in the rooms of Michael Moore....
November 21, 2007 1505 gmt West Pacific Satellite, Typhoons Mitag and Hagibis.
HOWEVER. In 2007 these storms were CAT TWO (2) not 4 !!!!!!!!!! Earth is getting hotter every year. The nations that will be effected by the storms this year need to take it very seriously.
Super Typhoon Parma is now at Cat 4 with winds of 130 mph. The countries in this part of the world have long 'shorelines' and their exposure to these storms are far greater in impact because of it. Japan is a narrow country that does not have a land mass such as the inland from the Gulf Coast to 'cut' the storms dynamics quickly.
The strong Typhoon season, along with other natural disasters, might be viewed as their Katrina.
The Western Pacific has the remaining density of tropical rainforests. The nations of that part of the world have dearly coveted them and protected them for the economy they bring to their people. Those rainforests of the Western Pacific are a success story for the UN Millenium Ecosystem Assessment.
Due to the survival of these systems they contain high levels of water vapor and much of the heat in the troposphere is seeking its way into the oceans through these huge typhoons powered by the water vapor found over these rainforests. Literally, Earth isn't heating faster than it is because of the Asian rainforests. The people of this region are in desperate need of assistance and it is their rainforests that are assisting in the control of Earth's warming trend. The world governments must respond.

Philippine Flood Death Toll Rises to246 (click title to entry - thank you) By AP / TERESA CEROJANO Tuesday, Sep. 29, 2009 (MANILA, Philippines) — Rescuers pulled more bodies from swollen rivers and debris-strewn streets Tuesday, pushing the toll from flooding in the northern Philippines to more than 284 dead or missing, while two new storms brewing in the Pacific threatened to complicate relief efforts. Authorities ordered extra police to be deployed to prevent looting in communities abandoned by fleeing residents, as frustration rose among those who have lost their homes or belongings. (See pictures of the flooding in the Philippines.) Queues of bedraggled victims grew long at hundreds of aid distribution centers as floodwaters subsided further and more people went in search of food, clean water, dry clothes and shelter....
