Some writers think that Hollywood won't make films about major/ true/ important scandals. And that stars won't play in them. Whoa! Think again. PUHLENTY get made and their writers are still alive and well, and very rich. It takes a lot of study on CONSPIRACY theory to be able to do one, though. Study these films:
THE
PACKAGE - Hack man/ Cassidy/ Tommy L. Jones.. CIA carefully
grooms its own assasination ops (TOMMY LEE JONES) who are trained INSIDE
the military, to sabotage peace conferences, to assasinate and STILL make
it look like some patsy did it. This was the JFK hit by the way, this film.
The producers approached one of the wealthiest men in America (KLUGE) for
funding to do this expose on the JFK HIT. . He said 'obfuscate the details
a bit and I'll give you the money.' The Oswald patsy was a dumb kid who'd
been sent to penetrate an anarchistic org just as OSWALD was sent to be
chummy with PRO-CUBA groups. Tommy Lee Jones is the Gov assasin, Hackman
the MP who catches him. Great film.
REMO WILLIAMS - Fred Ward . Joel Grey. Our pentagon/ defense industries are rife with corruption and graft, revolving doors. Watchable, commercial comedy but the real facts hidden inside the cookie.Joel Grey is frosting, amazing as a Korean kung fu master.
UNDER FIRE - Not the full story of how the CIA penetrated and destroyed NICARAGUA but part of it. Nolte, Hackman. Cassidy. Riveting film.
MISSING- Lemmon/ Spacek Much more
truthful than the above film on how OUR CIA, DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE, State
Dept were guilty of DIRECTING the Chilean Death squads in identifying &
murdering liberals, democrats, socialists, opnionmakers as well as a very
nationalistic left leaning democratically elected president who they murdered
with a machine gun. They accused him of committing suidie. Then they took
30,000 people, locked them in stadium, then shot them. Another 30,000 disappeared
into prisons. The CIA directs the riots that cause initial public tumult
so that they can kill Allende, install a flunkie dictator, as the former,
leftist president had dared to nationalize Chile's copper wresting it from
ANACONDA COPPER. which happened in CHILE. Costa Gavras directed. Won many
oscars. Gavras did "Z" another seminal film. "Music Box" too.
- Costa Gavras also made the YVES MONTAND film "State of Siege" about
Uruguay. A very good film where he shows how the CIA - that is, the
U.S. - directed and instructed the South American military how to fight
the Terrorist Gerrillas. Montand, a real life commie in France personified
the Evil American trainer! Odd that Marilyn had two major commies in her
life, Yves and Arthur Miller. This Uruguayan instruction was given in "La
Escuela de las Americas" situated in the U.S. district of Panama. They
were responsible for training death squads all over Latin America resulting
in millions murdered. - In Uruguay those terrorists were called Tupamaros,
and they were defeated by the Uruguayan military circa 1970. - In Argentina
there were two Terrorists groups. One called ERP (Ejercito Revolucionario
del Pueblo) completely marxist, and the other was called MONTONEROS &
originated in catholic-nationalist groups. - The Argentine military by
constitutional orders of the Argentine democratic government in 1975 initiate
war actions against BOTH groups (a big mistake). A real civil war happened
in Argentina up to circa 1978. The terrorists were defeated in the militar
level (but not in the political level) and there biggest mistake was that
following the CIA (that is U.S.) instructions the argentine militars fought
a "dirty war". That is using effective but ilegal means of all kind. Just
like the U.S. is trying to fight terrorism across the Middle East countries
nowadays. (Guantanamo, etc.) - The figure of 30,000 casualties is exaggerated.
Even in the "official book" written by the terrorist people called "Nunca
mas" they mention 8000 casualties. And the true figure must stand between
one or two thousand casualties among both terrorist groups." from an Argentinian
friend.
JFK, SALVADOR and 4th of July and WALL STREET, FOUR Oliver Stone films. Many oscars.
WALL STREET is another Oliver Stone film that tells the truth about Wall Street. Stone RULES. YA GOTTA LOVE THIS GUY! I DO! He used to hire my black belt karate Amazon yoga teacher pal as a body guard.
ENEMY OF THE STATE - Tells it like it is. Love that Will Smith!
THE MATRIX FILMS - Drives home the point we've all been mentally comandeered on Kafkaesque, subliminal metaphoric levels. Planet's citizens are oblivious to fact we are hardwired into a system that uses us and none of us has a clue. THE TERMINATOR series has an anti statist/elitist message, anti fascist, in particular. Do you watch the Fox-tv series? The film starred Ahnold, the current GOVERNATOR as a droid from the fascist future after radical progressives in the now who get offed by him. Enemy of the future State, kind of.
APOCALYPTIC KAFKAESQUE FUTURE MOVIES
BRAZIL an oldie, pursues that theme.1984. AND 1984.
CHILLING! Your thoughts?
PADDY CHAYEFSKY's NETWORK. The NED BEATTY MONOLOGUE predicted the OIL WARS. Also commented on a bought media and american culture. 17$ for new DVD double disk.
AIR AMERICA- CIA up to its stinky armpits in heroin trade in VIETNAM? Robert Downey, Mel Gibson. Fine film! PEPSI COLA was the bottling company where they processed the heroin. Has all the details.
A FILM CRITIC GAVE US A LIST OF THE OTHER GREAT POLITICAL FILMS. READ his list:
Send me your favorite titles of 'tell it all' political films so that I can add them to the list. THINK of, brainstorm up the subjects not yet done, like NWO, THE OLIGARCH, plutocrat 13 families that run the DEATH AND ESCLAVITUDE INDUSTRIES of war toys, banking, the IMF. Ancient, reptilian-minded blue bloods, they run all those cigar chompin' politicos even, and presidents & prime ministers. This theme has never been touched!
INTELLIGENT people can write intelligent, knowing, prescient films. These minds exist and often they are in Hollywood and are already forgetting the truths and living la VIDA LOCA. Get yourself abstinant, clean, mean machine. Compete with them. Beat them. YOU have to compete with them. YOu have to research, saturate yourself with an understanding of Their Structure, Mechanations to the point that you can dream like ORWELL. Then write. You summon up the visions as you meditate. That's how to write screenplays. VISIONING.
So don't volunteer to be a mushroom anymore. i.e. living in the dark and being fed nothing but manure. DO YOUR HOMEWORK. Get real about what is happening on this planet, about the Power Cabals.THE DEATH INDUSTRY. Listen to FM radio at NIGHT, where talk shows a.) are simulcast on the INTERNET, and b.) deal with this. At bedtime, put a tape deck on to record a few hours that you can't be there to get. Listen to it by day. CATCH up with the 20th century so you can be on top of media in the 21st.
NEW CONSPIRACY THEORIES abound. Did you know the Military had hit squads that went into prison camps in North Vietnam, taking out dozens of G.I. defectors with sarin gas? CNN had it on --then Ted Turner fired those two producers. But books already had been published on this story. MIKE LEVINE, Ex DEA agent had the authoress on his show. She was a 20/20 segment producer who'd stumbled on story. OUR DEFECTORS GOT OFFED by OUR COVERTS. Talk about FINDING PRIVATE RYAN, this was GASSING PRIVATE RYAN. Wake up and smell the coffee. I mean smell the Sarin gas!
Do you think your life is in better shape after a costly war (Nam) waged to get the richest oil fields on the planet, in south china sea just off coast of nam? NO. We were wasted by that war so you as a writer gotta know where the bones are buried. The graveyards where TRUTH LIES fulminating! Then came Two Iraq wars. Our job / salary /education/ medical/ money was taken by the GOV. That cash COULD HAVE BEEN used to pay for a great education a great condo or apartment in our own name, a great car, credit, trips. Now you can't even afford an apartment in the barrio and only by tolerating a roomie. SQUALID.
Things have changed in USA. before that war a man could work, keep his wife at home with kids and STILL BUY a house. Now? Ain't happenin' bro. What happened to the money situation you're in? You're in it and don't even KNOW it because you're like a lobster in a pot brought to a slow boil. You're going 'duhhhhh, jeez it's warm in here, wonder what's up?'
