FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
In that year he formed his own production company with director Steven
Soderbergh, Section Eight Productions, and together they turned out such
hits as 2001’s “Ocean’s Eleven,” followed by sequels in 2004 and
2007.
But Clooney also broached more thoughtful fare like in the 2005 spy thriller “Syriana,”
which earned him a best supporting actor Oscar, and the black-and-white film “Good
Night, and Good Luck” about freedom of speech and governmental abuse of
power.
His growing political interests also came to the fore in last year’s primary
season thriller “Ides of March,” while Hawaiian-set family drama “The
Descendants” won a best adapted screenplay Oscar.
Clooney’s rise has been matched by an increasing activism.
He has campaigned tirelessly to draw attention to the conflict in Sudan’s
Darfur region. In 2010 he was named a United Nations Messenger of Peace by
Secretary General Ban Ki-moon in recognition of his work.
Also that year Clooney was one of the driving forces behind a star-studded
telethon which raised more than $58 million for victims of the Haiti
earthquake.
In March this year Clooney was handcuffed and arrested along with several
members of the US Congress outside Sudan’s embassy in Washington DC, as they
demanded an end to an offensive they fear will cause thousands to starve.
He was released three hours later after paying a $100 fine for crossing a
police line.
In the same month Clooney visited the White House to brief the president on a
clandestine visit he had made to war-torn Sudan. He also attended a state
dinner for British Prime Minister David Cameron.
Mr Obama appears to be keen on wooing wealthy donors in Hollywood and Silicon
Valley, as money from Wall Street may be harder to come this election cycle
as he gears up to take on likely Republican nominee Mitt Romney in November.
Tim Groeling, an associate professor at the University of California at Los
Angeles (UCLA), said Clooney’s fund-raiser was important both for the cash
raised and the impact of his celebrity endorsement.
“Most successful Hollywood entertainers are well-liked by the public, or
else they wouldn’t have been successful in the first place,” said
Groeling, UCLA’s head of communication studies and an expert on political
communications.
“Although they are not always regarded as politically knowledgable, if
someone you like endorses something or someone, that connection should be at
least somewhat credible to you,” he told AFP.
Organisation for Thursday’s dinner has been spearheaded by DreamWorks
Animation chief Jeffrey Katzenberg, the president’s major entertainment
industry fund-raiser, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The soirée is expected to make $5-6 million, while a further $6 million had
been made by an online sweepstakes, in which the winner gets two seats at
the head table with Obama and Clooney, the industry paper reported.
