zerohedge | Some people think that truth is relative. At least my relatives do.
Try telling your friends and family that all truth passes through Three
Stages, from ridicule to violent opposition to eventual acceptance,
according to that guy Schopenhauer again, who must have been a lot of
fun at parties. My friends and family remain at stage one.
In an essay called Bulworth In 2013, artist Jim Kirwan remarked:
“Warren Beatty made Bulworth in 1998 to warn America about what this
country had become . . . The film is about a disillusioned Senator who
tires of the lies and begins to tell it like it is. No other major
filmmaker has dared to produce, much less chosen to put these topics
before the public.”
Bulworth quickly insults or provokes everyone he meets, from Black
civic leaders to Jewish movie moguls to a roomful of the Senator’s
corrupt corporate donors. While on a fundraiser, Senator Bulworth
visits the home of some Hollywood heavyweights and is asked bluntly by
one of them: “Senator, do you think those of us in the entertainment
business need government help in determining limits on sex and violence
in today’s films and television programs?”
Bulworth replies: “You know the funny thing is, how lousy most of
your stuff is. You make violent films, you make dirty films, you make
family films, but just most of them are not very good, are they? Funny
that so many smart people could work so hard on them and spend so much
money on them and, I mean, what do you think it is? It must be the
money, huh. It must be the money, it turns everything to crap you know.
Jesus Christ how much money do you guys really need?”
And that is how you get black-listed from Hollywood, despite all the
Oscars you have won in the past. Talk truth to power and damn if they
don’t try to ruin you.
Bulworth continues on in his suicidal mission. Warren Beatty is
masterful and marvelous, like Trump on truth serum or steroids.
Intoxicated with his candor, Senator Bulworth begins to rhyme, to a
roomful of stunned corporate backers. “And over here, we got our friends
from oil/ They don’t give a shit how much wilderness they spoil/ They
tell us they are careful, we know that it’s a lie/ As long as we keep
driving cars, they’ll let the planet die/ Exxon, Mobil, the Saudis and
Kuwait, if we still got the Middle East, the atmosphere can wait/ The
Arabs got the oil, we buy everything they sell/ But if the brothers
raise the price, we’ll blow them all to hell.”
Imagine Trump saying something like THAT?
So ask yourself this, dear reader: When has ONE candidate managed to
provoke and then UNITE the hysterical Left liberals and the entrenched,
super rich & powerful oligarchs of the Extreme Right against him?
Not to mention uniting the puppets and pundits of the mainstream media?
Has that ever happened in American history? Before Bulworth? Before
Trump?
Consider the growing list of powerful, special interests arrayed
against Donald Trump. Billionaire corporate heads oppose Trump. Dozens
of them flew down to Sea Island, Georgia to devise ways to remove Trump
from the Republican ticket. “”What we see at Sea Island is that, despite
all their babble about bringing the blessings of democracy to the
world’s benighted, AEI, Neocon Central, believe less in democracy than
in perpetual control of the American nation by the ruling Beltway
elites,” wrote Patrick Buchanan. “If an outsider like Trump imperils
that control . . . the elites will come together to bring him down,
because behind party lines, they’re soul brothers in pursuit of power.”
Speaking of soul brothers, another billionaire, and self-confessed
Nazi collaborator, George Soros backs BlackLivesMatters. Soros provided
in excess of $30 million in “seed” money to BLM. Tweeted top BLM
activist and rapper Tef Poe: “ If Trump wins, young niggas such as
myself are fully hell bent on inciting riots everywhere we go.”
Billionaires bankrolling ghetto brothers to burn and riot? And NO outcry from the American media, naturally. Fist tap Don.
