Chapter 781: Hold High the Lamp of Freedom
Although the rhetoric of Maintain Peace in the Middle East is mostly directed at Jews, it is portrayed by many media outlets as an attack on Hollywood and a threat to freedom across the United States.
Ryan is not wrong when he says, Hollywood has made great efforts over the past few decades for its creative freedom, and it will certainly not give up on this; The federal government also needs to further galvanize the nation's hostility towards Iran, which shares Hollywood's interests.
What's more, those two films were still strongly promoted by the Washington authorities.
In addition to keeping in touch with the National Jewish Association and celebrities in Hollywood, Ryan personally hung up a phone call to the White House, and the two sides reached an agreement on the matter with little communication.
The White House needs to further vilify Iran, and Ryan needs to use Iran to wash the floor for Miramax and Jews, recoup huge losses, and even profit from the Oscars.
"This attack is unlike any other cyberattack we've encountered in the past, and its purpose is not only to cause large-scale damage, but also to try to interfere with free speech in the United States."
Cybersecurity firm FireEye was hired by Miramax to conduct an investigation, and the leader of the expert team responsible for the investigation, Kevin ? "It's no exaggeration to say that this was a well-prepared and planned crime, and the mastermind was supposed to be an organized group that took advantage of Miramax's unpreparedness to launch this attack on an unprecedented scale." ”
The FBI is even more direct, officially intervening in the 'Miramax incident', which has significantly increased the speed of the investigation of the case, and after Ryan and the White House spoke on the phone, they did not hesitate to identify Iran as the driving force behind it, and also listed a series of evidence.
"The hacking software used in the attack on Miramax Films is linked to other malware developed by Iranian personnel; The tools used in this attack are similar to those used in last year's Iranian cyberattacks on Israeli banks and media......"
It makes sense that Iran is behind the Miramax affair, and it is also in line with the plot set expected by the White House, Hollywood, and the American public.
"We didn't give in. We didn't budge, we kept sticking! Free creation is the tradition and power of Hollywood, and the free world will not compromise with terrorism! ”
At the press conference called, Harvey? Weinstein also expressed Miramax's attitude at the right time, packaging Miramax, whose reputation was damaged, as a freedom fighter, "Even if there is only one theater showing "I Grew Up in Iran", Miramax will carry out the original release plan!" ”
Nokia Theatre also announced that it will partner with Miramax to host a premiere of the film.
Subsequently, the group "Peace in the Middle East" launched another hacking attack on Miramax. But in vain under the countermeasures of the cybersecurity companies that had been prepared for a long time, these guys had to make statements on the network about the possible premiere.
"Warning!
For those of you who attend the premiere of the movie "I Grew Up in Iran" and go to the cinema, we'll let you know what happens when you joke about horror.
Soon, the whole world will know how unbearable the film released by Miramax is.
Soon, the whole world will be terrified.
Think of September 11, 2001.
We recommend that you stay away from those movie theaters during the film screening.
If you live near a movie theater, it's best to choose to move.
Everything that will happen in the next few days is due to the ignorance of Miramax Films.
Miramax Films would have been condemned by the whole world. ”
At the beginning of the Miramax incident, the American public, just like other gossip scandals, watched the development of the situation and watched the drama. It was only Miramax's shareholders who were in pain, so Ryan decided to drag the entire American public into the water and make them pay for some of Miramax's losses and the terrorist threats of the Middle East Peace group. It also angered the American public.
In the eyes of Americans, it is legal freedom of speech to scandalize Iranians and even spoof the leader of a country in movies, and the freedom of speech that Hollywood and even the whole United States have is not easy to come by, so whether it is a foreign or domestic political leader and religious saint. can be the object of satire.
Despite the threat of terror, with Ryan's support, Miramax continues to stand in the name of free speech. Insisting that the film be released on schedule, Miramax's hardline attitude rekindled the public's favor, and there were even many pro-liberal groups, spontaneously organizing people to gather in front of Miramax Films to show their support.
Freedom may not be a universal value, but it is definitely a value pursued in North America, and when freedom is threatened, more and more people choose to stand up.
The terrorist threat seemed to scare many people who were going to the premiere, and Ryan made a statement in support of the premiere on his Facebook and blog.
"If the release of 'I Grew Up in Iran' fails, then our sacrosanct freedom of speech will be lost to the threat of terrorism, and compromising in the face of threats is not what Americans should do, and the freedom of American society should not be censored by other countries, and Hollywood and American culture should not be censored by other foreign forces."
"I'm going to go to the premiere, I'm going to say goodbye to the Weinstein brothers, I'm going to tell my friends, we're not going to succumb to any kind of illegal attack! We always hold high the light of freedom! ”
It seems to be answering the call, and hundreds of thousands of people either retweet or reply.
"Support Ryan, I'm going to the premiere."
"In the name of freedom, we will never compromise!"
"Freedom-loving people, will you be afraid of tyranny and terrorism? I won't! ”
This must be the one that will have a great impact on Hollywood this year, or even in years, and it will have a profound impact beyond the film industry and on American society.
Perhaps the old guy in the sky was taking care of Ryan, and shortly after he made his online statement, the federal government suddenly held a press conference to announce that the three hackers who attacked Miramax had been captured in Barcelona with the assistance of the Spanish police and Interpol, and all three were Iranians who had moved to Spain.
Although the trio denied any connection to the Iranian government in the video of the interrogation released by the federal government, in this case, they admit that it makes people feel that there is a ghost, otherwise it is perfectly normal.
Ryan was told for sure that this was not a scapegoat brought in by the federal government, but indeed the culprit in the hacking attack, and it didn't matter whether it was spontaneous or supported by the Iranian government.
Whether the Iranian government is behind the scenes, Ryan will not think about it, Miramax will not think about it, Hollywood will not think about it, the public and the federal government in the United States will agree not to think about it, and only the Iranian government will carry this black pot.
"We have confirmed that the manipulator behind this large-scale, long-term and high-intensity hacking operation is the Iranian official!"
This is what a White House spokesman said at a regular news briefing, "The White House is also currently debating whether to publicly condemn the Iranian government in response to this incident, and how to respond to the Iranian attack, and consider putting Iran back on the list of sponsors of terrorism." ”
The White House's rhetoric was backed up by the mainstream media, and even in recent years, George? The Bush administration has been praised the most by the media.
The four major theater chains in the United States – Imperial Entertainment Group, AMC Entertainment Group, Cinemark Cinemas and Carmicha Cinemas – have also announced that they will relaunch the release of "I Grew Up in Iran" in support of free speech in the United States.
But whether it did it or not, the Iranian government will certainly deny it.
"The hackers were not officially appointed by Iran." At the same time, they pointed out, "Whoever did this, Iran praises you as a heroic hero!" ”
Ahmadinejad also appointed a spokesman to publicly state that he would resolutely respond to any retaliatory actions by the United States, and would launch a super tough response against the White House, the Pentagon, and Hollywood! Ban Ryan forever? The Jews represented by Jenkins and his works enter Iran!
As Ryan said, it doesn't matter whether the Iranian government is at the behest or not, there must be enough people or countries to pay for the incident.
Hollywood is once again united under the banner of freedom.
"It's hard to believe that one country threatens free speech across the United States!"
Is this Stephen? Spielberg said in an interview that he made it clear that he would attend the premiere of "I Grew Up in Iran."
"What the Iranian government is doing is a dishonorable act, and Hollywood will not accept their threats."
The current president of the Academy, Frank? Pearson, although he will not attend the premiere, expressed his support for Miramax.
"Ryan and Miramax have shown us the brave and strong side of Hollywood, and we will uphold Hollywood's tradition of free creation, and cowardice is not for Americans."
Jews in Hollywood, unsparing their support, have said they will appear at the premiere if necessary.
As the most representative Jewish of the new generation in Hollywood, Natalie also spoke out on her blog and Facebook at the right time - terrorism will never erode our creative soul!
To this day, Iran is bent on eliminating Israel, and senior officials, including Ahmadinejad, have openly committed the Jewish Holocaust several times, and even without this hacking incident, Iran can be classified as an enemy in the eyes of Jewish forces in Hollywood.
It is safe to say that after several public opinion disputes, Iran has become a terrorist state that surpasses North Korea in the minds of most American public.
This hacking incident has pointed to the Jewish forces in Hollywood several times, and Hollywood, which is deeply influenced by Jews, will definitely give the biggest response, in addition to the film, the Oscars, which have a huge influence in the world, is a very good place to fight back.
In other words, Jews who can enter this Oscar will definitely benefit. (To be continued......)
