If you don’t think there is a government agenda to silencethe growing anti-vaccination movement then you might want to take a lookat the damning paper trail that is starting to pile up.new letter sent by the chairman of the Houston Film Festival shows thatRobert DeNiro and the Tribeca Film Festival were just the first to bepressured (or should we say threatened?) not to show the film Vaxxed: From Coverup To Catastrophe.The following letter was sent to Philippe Diaz, Chairman of Cinema Libre, distributor of the film, on April 5, at 8:56 am.Thesituation has now escalated to criminal conduct and extortion, with thefilm festival being threatened with ‘severe action’ if they showed thefilm, and punishing financial losses in the form of withdrawn grants.Dear Philippe~ Good Morning…wanted you to know that just like DeNiro and Tribeca, we must withdrawour invitation to screen VAXXED! It has been cancelled, and there was nopress release about the film… that was scheduled for today, but aftervery threatening calls late yesterday (Monday) from high HoustonGovernment officials (the first and only time they have ever called in49 years) – we had no choice but to drop the film.Heavyhanded censorship, to say the least… they both threatened severe actionagainst the festival if we showed it, so it is out. Their actions wouldhave cost us more than $100,000 in grants.Ido hope that they did not call or threaten you. It is done, it is outand we have been censored… There are some very powerful forces againstthis project. It does seem a bit of overkill, as I am confident that itwill be released Online soon and millions of people can see it.My Thanks and Best regards,HunterHunter ToddChairman & Founding DirectorTEAM WORLDFESTThe 49th Annual WorldFest-HoustonYoucould argue this is not quite censorship in the literal sense of theword, because the government officials issued threats to withholdfunding, and thus offered the film festival a quasi-choice rather thandirectly ordering them not to show the film.This is calledfinancial extortion. In reality they are not presenting the filmfestival with any choice at all. Either they submit to the government’s‘very threatening’ demands, or they face financial ruin. The powersthat be are doing everything they can to silence the anti-vaccinationmovement.
