JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass – Wikipedia

I plan on streaming this and Django Unchained on hourback.tv ad nauseam when I finally get things going again.

Just the first 10 or 15 minutes of this film is enough to wake up the viewer. Every single person who casts a vote in this country should be forced to watch this and weigh in with an opinion. Unfortunately, simply viewing something doesn’t demonstrate the viewer’s capacity or will to accept it as discernible fact.

How do you feel living in a country where your government executes people who want to create a better society for everybody, and not just old, rich, white people? Are you foolish enough to think that this wouldn’t happen again today? It happened to Bernie Sanders. It happened to Julian Assange. It happened to Edward Snowden. People who tell the truth and want to improve things in this country are apparently considered to be expendable and a vulnerability, in fact.

And Barack Obama is probably the anti Kennedy. What a failure and complete corruption of a person he is and exemplifies. It’s all smiles and glimmer. No depth, no truth, no justice. What a fucking shame. I think we’re still waiting for our first black president.

Gladiator (2000)

If you utilize your ability to skip past vast amounts of useless exposition (at least) I think you’ll find Gladiator to be a reliable view this year.

It seems to be a timely piece, depicting principled individuals speaking truth to power, power both amoral, unethical, disjointed, disorganized, unreasonable, illogical, unenlightened, dishonorable, delusional, and corrupt . . . among other things.

But anyway! I do think this is a useful watch for getting your brain ready for what’s necessary in the next stage of our national/global development if we are to survive as a species. Watch closely, learn your lessons well, and practice in your own life.
