In 2002, Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney from Georgia questioned the official story of 9/11. She was also a pain in the tuchas to the "Israel Lobby," questioning "all them Israeli resolutions" (as her father would tell us). We wondered, does McKinney know what she was getting into? What sort of intellectual/political support group did she have to stand up to seriously challenging the collective cognitive imperative (think sayanim). This was dangerous business. We headed to Georgia, from New York, to film her campaign, discover who her intellectual colleagues were, and help, if possible. We found, foremost, Billy McKinney.
We filmed only a few days, racing around madly, trying to keep up with the Congresswoman - then she flew off to DC, to vote against the homeland security legislation. We'd been warned she was on a tight schedule before we drove to Decatur. But it looked like the primary was in the bag, A month later, though, McKinney lost the primary when the AIPAC-led opposition stealthily induced GOP voters to forgo their own primary and vote against McKinney in the Democrat primary. McKinney lost. So did State Rep. Billy McKinney. Billy died last year (2010). We pull this video out of the mothballs of Indymedia, to re-post it, attaching Cynthia McKinney's moving July 19 2010 tribute to her father. snowshoefilms yoryevrah
