If RFK Jr were to become president I’d like to see him commission a whole series of documentaries. Could be called “The Truth about” series. Actually Ty and Charlene Bollinnger have already begun having produced The Truth about Cancer and The Truth about Vaccines.

Yes, the Bollinger's are true heros and they have earned that right. If I recall correctly Ty actually ran the race with cancer and was determined to beat it and on the way he found out how the medical mafia aka The Cancer Trade had a vested interest in keeping the truth under wraps, the cancer industry is a multi-billion dollar concern and the vermin who oversee it, do not want their golden cash cow to disappear.
I don’t think Ty personally battled cancer but he lost many family members to it which inspired him and Charlene to look into the Cancer cabal and they came to realize how effective cures are treatments have been suppressed for ages. . Still to this day cancer is sadly one of the biggest businesses in the world. Did you know that oncologists are allowed to profit off of chemotherapy drugs? And isn’t it pathetic that more people die from them than they do from cancer itself? A few years ago my neighbor was diagnosed with Leukemia - he immediately began chemo and the day after his first treatment he died from it! Meanwhile natural doctors who advocate non toxic treatments are ignored harassed and even murdered.
Yes its very sad and its not doing any favors for the medical people who are part of it. I believe the majority of them need to be indicted and imprisoned or executed, they are murderers whether they think so or not. Yes I knew oncologists make money from their prescriptions, ALL prescriptions have kickbacks to the writers.....To think we actually looked up to these pricks!
Having grown up in a family that reveres doctors, I know what mean. This all goes back 100 years, perhaps even longer when Rockefeller and Carnegie put part of their fortune into modern allopathic medicine.

I think it would be best if the gov simply didn't censor the media, didn't do its own propaganda on us. Government commissioned art is not a good idea. What we need to support good journalism and art is a healthy middle class with deposable income and some leisure time.
As a long-time admirer of David Talbot's superb writing, I'm extremely pleased that he's supporting Kennedy, and I hope that all of us will circulate what he has written today about the CIA and Hollywood to our own lists. Violence uber alles! Not only does America's military deliver violence to other countries, our so-called "entertainment" constantly infects America's body politic with violence, but it's boomeranging . . . . with endless mass shootings and widespread bullying in our schools. Our enemy is within.
Deserves beyond a wow. Thats why MIC or Ray McGovern’s micimatt complex term has to be expanded and updated by a fanatical mind to fit these diabological times. Military Industrial Congressional Intelligence media academia thinktank tech entertainment Complex. micimatte needs special mention of pharmaceutical and propaganda (includes censorship) working overtime industries since we Americans are the most drugged up people on the planet to cope with all this Hollywood debachery come home to roost that we can’t think straight.

BOBBY KENNEDY JR IS COURAGEOUS IN SEEKING TRUTHS FOR AMERICA TODAY.
The assassination of JFK is my earliest memory of any event outside my family home- I was three years old, living on Rt. 1 south of Alexandria, Virginia, in the office building of my family's 1st hotel, Ainsworth Downs.
As I grew up in the turmoil of the 60's with the Cold War, Vietnam, one assassination after another and the constant threat of nuclear annihilation, reading the Pentagon Papers at 16, 13 years later in an attempt to understand the world I had been born into. I have continued that work until today.
The assassination of Bobby Kennedy took the last bit of heart out of our Nation, in my personal opinion.
We have not recovered it yet. Obama felt like a genuine shift, and then turned out to be another wolf in sheep's clothing. Ugh.
Perhaps our nation has a chance again, today, with Bobby Jr. I pray we have the heart and the courage to lift him up, and begin our own healing at the same time as well.
But the dark forces running America must be faced, and no one person can tackle them for us, it must be the American People themselves that choose to face them, and pull their teeth.
Then and only then will we be free again. And our leaders safe from the assassinators' bullets.
Katherine, thank you for sharing your thoughts. You've summarized so much in just the right amount of words. Indeed, the American People must take responsibility for determining their path out of the dark.
The goal to normalize situational ethics and encourage the mindset that vigilante justice was permissible could be said to have started in 1971, when Dirty Harry hauled out his .357 magnum and asked that punk if he felt lucky. It's been downhill ever since. I had to stop reading some of my favorite fiction series because the anti-Russian propaganda became beyond ridiculous.
Interesting observation, thanks Liz. Another example might be Disney's recent Secret Invasion series, which did an awful lot of conflating of Russia, illegal aliens, domestic terrorists and toxic masculinity. Very strange and felt exceptionally overt, let alone cheap.
The list is endless. Just consider what The Sopranos did to normalize ruthless criminals, which in my observation is when the conditioning shifted into high gear.
"Meanwhile, a steady flood of movies like The Recruit, Argo and Zero Dark Thirty, have presented the spy agency more flatteringly, while TV franchises like Jack Ryan and Special Ops: Lioness display CIA shoot-and-blow-‘em-up heroics with patriotic fervor."
Gotta add that Director Leon Pannetta violated CIA protocol & NatSec laws w Classified material given to Zero Dark Thirty production team but film painted 'Bloody Gina' as Haspel was known inside CIA for her love of torture as brave hero not demented war criminal who got zero actionable intel from torture that serves to get victims to agree to whatever their captors want.
Back when Rolling Stone still had adversarial content there was fab #ZD30 piece.
Great piece. I might add the unsuccessful "The Good Shepherd" to the list of Hollywood productions unflattering to the CIA. The image of CIA bigwigs like William Hurt (presumably modeled on Allen Dulles) prancing around in masonic aprons is indellible, though the film somehow didn't work.
The impact of the national-security state on cinema illustrates the tragedy of American culture, inexorably driven toward mediocrity, and of course extends to TV. All American cop shows are sort of "militarized action dramas," in which we are to believe that any local police unit in America is confronted daily with crimes that are not only complex and compelling but also ultimately require intense armed response, since they so often rise to the level of terrorist insurgency, culminating obligatorily with shoot-outs in urban areas. It's almost as if the producers' agenda is to make fantasy into reality, and wouldn't you know it, we have endless mass shootings in America now! All a mentally unstable glued-to-the-tube adolescent needs is a few of the "right kind" of psychotropic drugs, prescribed by some upstanding shrink who's retained by gormless parents, to tip the kid over the edge into extreme violence. It is no exaggeration to say that British detective shows, however gruesome, are still a head above their nonsensical "macho" counterparts here in America.
The hit TV show "Criminal Minds" is now in its 17th season. I haven't watched an episode in years, but the formula was for an "elite" team of FBI agents to fly around the country on a lear jet tracking down serial killers who were not only prolific and ingenious, but also so numerous that the intrepid agents had to deal with one every week. All heavily armed, even the geeky genius guy, the agents would invariably arrive "just in time" to save some poor captive after the diabolical murderer had already taken several lives in the most grisly manner imaginable. So America, we are to believe, is now flooded with not only ultra-violent criminals requiring militarized polce action but also endless serial killers, while the reality outside is simply one of drug-addled mass shooters opening fire on innocent civilians every day - and cops always failing to catch them before they kill. Swell.
Thanks for the article. I worked for six months in the Amazon on a major motion picture in 1990. I was not impressed with Hollywood. LOL! Saul Zaentz (three time Oscar winner for Best Picture) was the producer. I think he lost $17 million on the film I worked on.

For the last few years, if I see in a movie or series description that mentions CIA, FBI, SWAT, ATF, spy, hit man, vampire, zombie, serial killer, profiler, special ops, Marshals, Do"J", the police, or the military, I pass. Not much is left.
Oh yeah. You forgot the series in which every plot to blow up the USA or the world or the galaxy or the universe was FOILED(!) by JACK BAUER(!) (= JACK RYAN!) in exactly 24 hours! Same M.O. "Yeah, yeah, I know, the whole constitution thing (yawn). I know you're innocent, but I'm just gonna have to go ahead and shoot you in the head. Why? Because a terrorist told me to! And they always keep their word, right? Nothing personal! Just business!"
Best thing about 24(!) was how JACK BAUER(!) could talk his way out of anything just by saying PLEASE! PLEASE!
Find another country in which to make it. Contrary to the belief of 99% of Americans, there is actually an entire world full of countries outside of America.
Early in 2019, I heard Michael Butterworth being interviewed by Eagan and Braude on WGBH. The interview centered on his 'Sport and Militarism' which had just been released in paperback. I promptly ordered it on Amazon. ( I love Marjorie and Jim even though, like Naomi Klein, they have been dutiful water carriers for America's Doctor Fauci.) As editor and contributor, Butterworth has assembled a scholarly collection of essays that shine a light on the insidious effect of militaristic culture as it infiltrates our institutions of policing, higher education, and culture. The account is not so sensational as a Hollywood drama; but, it takes a closer look at the relationship between governance, law making, the reach of our agencies, and their effects on our institutions.
"The US government is heavily investing in one foreign government to fuel the proxy war while lining the pockets of “the big guy.” This administration has ruined America and there is no sugar coating what’s to come."
If RFK Jr were to become president I’d like to see him commission a whole series of documentaries. Could be called “The Truth about” series. Actually Ty and Charlene Bollinnger have already begun having produced The Truth about Cancer and The Truth about Vaccines.
