A Movie that has great significance on the current state of the union and will likely impact the upcoming Presidential election.
Snowden Synopsis
The
script is based on the books The Snowden Files: The Inside Story of the
World's Most Wanted Man by Luke Harding and Time of the Octopus by
Anatoly Kucherena.
"Snowden" isn't leftist-conspiratorial propaganda (though some may accuse it of being that). It's a riveting procedural docudrama that takes a deep dive into what surveillance has become.Full review
REVIEW:Dinesh
D'Souza 's Hillary's America NOT An Attack Piece But A Much-Needed History Lesson and Wake-Up Call
by The Time Traveler
Mainstream media reviews such as Variety
are already describing the new Dinesh
D'Souza movie as an attack piece on
Hillary as she runs for President. But,
'Hillary's America: The Secret Story of the Democratic Party' is so much more.
D'Souza spends
at least half the movie NOT even discussing Hillary directly but, rather,
setting the record straight on the
History of the Democratic Party - something that the you won't find in today's history books (at
least not those found in our children's schools.)
Instead, D'Souza gives us a much-need
history lesson-update on race relations in America from the beginning. And, he
does quite an eye-opening job as one can in an hour and forty-seven minute
movie, showing how key Democrat figures like Andrew Jackson and Woodrow
Wilson set black and white race
relations back after the Republican Party, and chiefly Abraham Lincoln had set 'Negroes' free
during the Civil War period.
In more recent
history, we learn how much of President Johnson's 1964 legislation to,
supposedly,
improve the lot of black people, was really more self-serving than anything to
help get Democrats elected while lining the pockets of the Administrations that
followed President Kennedy-perhaps the last Democrat President that showed a
true interest in really helping the blacks.
Then, we learn
much about Saul Alinsky, a truly dark figure
who has only become well-known since the Obama Administration. Obama, like Hillary, have been disciples of Alinsky's 'Rules for Radicals' book in which Alinsky
offered what are no longer so secret ways for Democrats- or, rather, socialists-to
take control of America by 'keeping down' not only the blacks but virtually every other
'non-believer' of the Alinsky system.
In a shocking interview shortly before
he died in the early 1970s, Alinsky admitted to a belief feathering the nests of the few at the expense of the
rest of society -right out of the Communist play book.
D'Souza shows
how Alinsky and his disciples, including Hillary, will 'deny, deny, deny' after doing their misdeeds while trying to
distract and obfuscate.
While there is
so much information new to most of us, it's hard to immediately validate
everything D'Souza tells us. While D'Souza does take a pretty one-sided approach,
well that is his strong belief and
desire. While, there's no doubt fault to be found in the history of some of the Republicans, too, we've yet to
hear any solid rebuttal from the Democrats, though that could come. In the
meantime, this writer plans to fact check
, which will be a big project to cover over 200 years of American history.
Though D'Souza gives us footnotes in the credits, the Democrats are open and
may and should question D'souza's findings if there are truly things wrong. No doubt there are Republican leaders , too, who have been less
than forthcoming when it came to race relations while bringing up America.
If
anyone has right to make such a movie as
'Hillary's America' it's D'Souza, who was himself a rather innocent victim, it
would appear, of a Democrat (Obama)'s
administration. D'Souza opens the movie and ends it with references to his own
eight month incarceration in no country
club prison for what he describes
has of minor crime of giving a friend more than the legal amount allowed of
campaign contributions. He shows himself against a backdrop of his fellow
prisoners laughing as he describes his story
as compared to their much more flagrant crimes of murder, burglary, etc. D'Souza believes that his incarceration was
Obama's 'get back' at him for his 2014 movie, 'Obama's America.'
Comment in response to Variety (and other mainstream) reviews: Amazing
how this (Variety) reviewer is
nearly a lone voice among the 100+ commenters responding to Owen Gleiberman's Variety review
of 'Hillary's America' who mostly refute
this typical mainstream media person. D'Souza DOES offer the facts with real
names and incidents, along with the footnotes,whereas this reviewer offers no
facts or substance to back his
claims..'Hillary's America' should be required viewing for students of
history today - not that it will necessary make an impact on already-brainwashed public school kids, but
some of the brighter folks will still 'see the light.' Take A Democrat to see 'Hillary's
America' and you'll be doing America a favor
Interesting to
see so many un-supported media reviews - here's
another (Washington
Post) - and the many respondents who don't let the reviewer off with his
non-supported claims. How can a guy get away with calling D'Souza's film making 'lazy' with no history? It's anything but. As one of the commenters
notes, he's probably some young, underpaid, un-educated dolt. Pretty sad if newspapers today can't afford quality writers enough so to at least get facts right. . FINAL NOTE: Just to show what this movie could and should mean to society, we are already seeing even our so-called leaders/politicians unaware of the true history of America. Case in point: On ABC's 'This Week' Minnesota assemblyman Keith Ellison called Donald Trump 'the worst candidate since George Wallace,' probably unaware that Wallace was a Democrat.

13 HOURS Will Blow You Away and You May Really Question Your Government Leaders
After giving the movie a great review, SF Chronicle head reviewer Mick LaSalle adds 'But Why would anyone want to see this movie'? Because it shows in LIVING COLOR the incompetence and corruption within our own government. Perhaps the movie will have some positive effect in making some important changes via the upcoming elections and then leaves a slumping man in the chair. All we can think of is that LaSalle must be a Hillary Clinton supporter (which is ok but why let that color his REAL rating)
