Did anyone else get a strange DVD in your mailbox today?



I was shocked to see this full length DVD in my mailbox today...

It was called OBSESSION: RADICAL ISLAM'S WAR AGAINST THE WEST...

I never asked for this DVD and never visited any Islamic website.

Is this some sort of political propaganda? Makes me wonder if this is suppose to have some impact on the upcoming election?

I just popped it in and viewed the entire DVD. Some pretty scary stuff...

The DVD is a film about the threat of Radical Islam to the Western Civilization. It contains a lot of footage from Arab television and the subject of a global jihad against the US.

My parents received the DVD as well and wanted to know if EVERYONE in the United States received this?

That's interesting...

My parent's live about 5 miles from me and they received a copy but my sister about 15 miles from me did not.

The video encourages me to hold "viewing parties" and show this to others?

Just curious to know if anyone else found this in their mailbox??

Subliminal messages??? I don't feel any different since viewing it.

The DVD is a little over 1 hour and is filled with quite a lot of violent Islamic protests and Arab television broadcasts of fighting a Jihad war with the United States. Lots of footage from terrorism attacks from 9/11 and other attacks worldwide.

Just a really odd DVD to get in the mail for no reason at all. It was addressed to me in my name and came from The Clarion Fund out of New York, New York...

It's be around for a little while but generally recently distributed in your state as well as several others.

You may wish to read this.....it will help understand...especially the last paragraph.

Very interesting, Snoopy...

Did you get a copy?

I guess there may be some political reasons with the upcoming elections... The link you sent from Wikipedia states...

"In September 2008, the Clarion Fund distributed DVDs of the film by mail, and in newspaper advertising supplements, predominantly in swing states."

No....A friend has it.

But I do know one of the "producers" pretty well (that means nothing as far as credibility, however).
