‘What Would the World Look Like if America Never Existed?’: ‘2016′ Creator Dinesh D’Souza Is Back With a New Movie

Mar. 16, 2013 11:16pm
2016 Creator Dinesh DSouza Announces New Movie at CPAC: America

(Photo: Screen shot/ “America” teaser trailer)

From the creators of box office smash “2016: Obama’s America” will soon come another documentary about a world where America as we know it never existed.

Conservative author, commentator, and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza made the announcement Saturday at the Conservative Political Action Conference saying the film– titled “America” — won’t just be a sequel to “2016.”

“Our situation is much bigger than Obama, [the film is] ultimately about the meaning of America,” he stated.

D’Souza explained:

When the American founders got together 200 years ago, they wanted to make a new kind of country, and in fact a new kind of human being…Now what is distinctive about America?  As you know when Obama was asked that question he said, in effect, ‘nothing.’

But I want to highlight one aspect of American exceptionalism that goes to the core of what does make America unique, and that is the idea of the entrepreneur, the idea of the self-made man.

A preview for the film teases: “Columbus’ discovery of America was an accident.  It was a navigational error.  So what if this blunder never happened?  History would look very different…”

Watch the teaser trailer, which played at CPAC, below:

The Hollywood Reporter has more on the powerful creators of the new film:

Conservative commentator Dinesh D’Souza, who starred in, co-wrote and co-directed 2016, will return as the writer and star of a film simply titled America to be directed by John Sullivan, who wrote and directed 2016 with D’Souza.

Gerald Molen, who won a best picture Oscar for producing Schindler’s List with Steven Spielberg in 1993, will executive produce America, as he did for 2016.

But some are critical of the movie even before its release.  From the Atlantic Wire:

Yes, you’re understanding that correctly: there’s going to be a sequel to 2016: Obama’s America. Unfortunately the filmmakers passed on the opportunity to the 2016: America Harder, or How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love Obama, or 2016: America’s America, or even my favorite option, America America America America America America America America…

[...]

There’s no indication what the new movie will be about, besides hating Obama, except what we can glean from [the] trailer…

    Columbus did not discover America. He landed in the West Indies.

      Columbus didn’t discover “The United States of America”.
      He discovered “The Americas”… as in the Continents of.

      My problem with this pro-mo is them claiming Columbus called the natives “Indians” because he thought he was in India. That’s not true. He called them “Indios” which is Latin for “indigenous”… and that means “natives”.

      Actually, if any are paying attention to the archeology world they would learn the FIRST culture of people was found on the East Coast in and around the Hampton Roads, Va. ( cactus hill) area.

      The archeologist department at the University of Wisconsin was already teaching this 15 years ago until they received pressure from outside, and some inside, to STOP!! This is to lengthy and complicated to spell out here so why try—I’m right and the PC people who insist Europeans never arrived here until 1492 are WRONG is all you need to know.

      WOW! I am so insulted you equate me with encinomom for just pointing out a fact. Of course the Norsemen guarded the secret jealously,they realized what a treasure the find was. Columbus was out for his own selfish interests and was wrong about everything. Must have been a progressive democrat.

      When norsemen found the land,it was long before the idea of nationalism and claiming land in the name of any nation,unlike when Columbus stumbled upon it centuries later. Columbus was a blind squirrel who happened to find someone elses stash of nuts and started screaming MINE! MINE! MINE! to the world to make a name for himself. History should remember him for the loser he was.

      I hope you don’t want a translation in Glagolica, I’m not sure if this would take the font.

      Now, I think the exercise is moot. America (That is something akin to USA) would happen, sooner or later, in principle, preceded by the discovery of the New World. Portuguese, despite having secured the African route were keen to find a Western pass to Indies. If it were not Columbus, it would have been Magellan, or others. The time was ripe.

      On the other hand, it may be ironic that Tuatha Dé Danann discovered the Old World first, invading Ireland from the West.

      DonaldH, the paradigm is changing with a glacial pace. It is now tacitly acknowledged (tacitly only not to ruffle eagle feathers in some chiefs head dresses) that Solutreans were here first. However, the sites that indicate that the populating of Americas happened far further in the past are still covered up (often literally).

      There is also evidence of Greeks having landed here. Apparently the cherokee have bits and pieces of greek language, fair skin and greek dna. A cave in Arizona has the remains of Large red-headed people that indians of that are had wiped out.

      WarMunger_Al, probably same as found in Gobi, or New Zealand (another politically incorrect hot potato). Also, there is a strong indication that the copper around Great Lakes was mined by someone (weren’t injuns, sticking to sticks, stones and bones) as far as 17kya. There are some indications that Sea People (later known as Phoenicians) knew about it and kept mum about it.They also were likely suppliers of coca to Egyptian nobility (proof is in mummies), and were involved in establishing Mesoamerican Olmec culture (glyphs show bearded men with Phoenician head dress).

      Communism was created by Marx which was largely inspired by his outsider interpretation of US economics and culture. If he hadn’t the US to work off of, it may have changed many of his beliefs. So “communism” as he invented in his rightin may not have even existed. Monarchies may have still been the norm. Collectivism may still taken off but not necessarily French revolution as that was largely inspired by the American Revolution but took a darker path.

      On the flipend, Monarchial governments, their colonies, the Ottoman Empire (it’s sattelites), etc, probably would have lasted much longer. So tyrants of another type.

      Would WW1 occured in the same way? Probably not. The rise of Japan would have occured much differently as well. Would England have kept its dominance?

      If no US to jump in, and if WW1 still occured, would Germany have won the war, and Kaiser then seen as a national hero? Notice more than likely Hitler would never have risen to power at all, and possibly would have been killed if WW1 continued on further.

      Also if you read much of Marx’s writing, he was inspired by what he read about the United States… Aspects of the government he adamentally disagreed with (he saw the United States as a largely class based society based on Capitalist people at the top, exploiting the poor at the bottom). This inspired him to try to create a ‘different’ system.

      If the United States hadn’t existed, some of his ideas may never even developed.

      If the Colonists hadn’t rebelled in the United States, would the collectivist people in France rebelled from their king as well? Remember it was the success in the US that partially inspired the French people to revolt as well, thus the French Revolution.

      So without the US, and its butterfly effect in europe, I’d say more than likely people would still be living under monarchy, and there would probably still be trade disagreements and wars with the islamic caliphates…

    >~~>The trailer asks, What would the world be like without America?

    Inspite of being inundated with Mr & Mrs O in dang near every aspect of our lives,

    The film “America” is not about hate. Nor is it about “hating Obama”.
    ~>Again, America is NOT Obama!

    “Fundamental change” is admittedly no accident.
    “Yes WE Can” was just their deliberate twisted message; “People are hungry for change”.
    Ya, screw things up so badly –that “folks” depend on ya’all in the govenment for food & life.

    ~>Both Obamas’ stated disdain for America is what drives their mission for its destruction.

    Michelle is so dang cute telling “folks” what to eat….dancin and smilin… “Let’s Move”.
    Bloomberg did us a favor with his big gulp bamboozle, “It’s my job to take care of people”.

    When Michelle Obama promised,
    ” Barack will never let you go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved; uninformed.”
    ~~~>she was 100% correct !!!

    “America” will show that the Obamas underestimated America and “folks”.
