National Socialist Propaganda

By ROBERT STARK

Over the last year or so, there have been countless movies about the Nazis and the Holocaust, such as the The Reader, Valkyrie, Defiance and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. A popular new film,  Inglorious Basterds directed by Quentin Tarantino and produced by the Weinstein brothers is promoted by Hollywood and the press as a fictional tale of a group of Jewish American GI’s led by a redneck Lieutenant played by Brad Pitt, who seek vengeance against the Nazis in occupied France during WWII. Throughout the film there are many gruesome scenes of vengeance, including scalping and torture.

Eli Roth, who plays a leading role in the film as the “Bear Jew,” says that the idea of vengeance is “…almost a deep sexual satisfaction of wanting to beat Nazis to death, an orgasmic feeling. My character gets to beat Nazis to death. That’s something I could watch all day. My parents are very strong about Holocaust education.” On a similar note, one of the film’s producers, Lawrence Bender, told Tarantino that “As your producing partner, I thank you, and as a member of the Jewish tribe, I thank you, motherf–ker, because this movie is a f–king Jewish wet dream.”

Only in America can the lecherous leanings and extra-marital shenanigans of a dirty old man result in ratings gold and a national conversation.

The David Letterman Show scored its highest ratings yet as he aired his sexual proclivities in public under the guise of apologizing to his wife for betraying her with a variety of casual sexual partners. Partners, who, by the way, could have lost their jobs on Letterman’s whim if they somehow displeased him. Or if Letterman ran out of Viagra.

Under the new rules implemented by self anointed elites, if a person is a celebrity, the normal rules of decent conduct are suspended. Unless, of course, the celebrity is a conservative. If only former Senator “wide stance” Livingston were a Democrat, he’d have a restroom named in his honor. And probably his own personal peephole to boot.

Instead, as a member of the left, Letterman is accorded membership in the most valued and largest growing group in America. He is now an official ‘victim.’ And shame on those little tarts who used him in order to advance their own careers or merely to scratch a transient sexual itch.

However dumb David Letterman considers Sarah Palin to be, I think it is safe to say that she would not have sat in the United Trinity Church for 20 years, mind you, listening to to the ravings of Jeremiah Wright without concluding she was listening to a tenth rate rabble rousing demagogue, a racist, a bigot, a hate-monger, an anti-Semite, an America-hater, and a marxist. She would have stood up and walked out unlike Barack Obama who sat there transfixed, approvingly attuned to a message that resonated within him.

Paul Schnee lives and works in West Hollywood, California. He is a self-confessed sceptic with more grey hair than anyone really needs or wants. He does not have a degree or any other paper manifestations of his abilitiy. Therefore, by the public standard he is unqualified to pass his opinions. Nevertheless, he does it because he thinks he is right and because his career does not depend on him being so! Blog: paulschnee.com

David Carradine, You Will be Missed

December 8, 1936 – June 3, 2009

As we all know by now, actor David Carradine died Thursday in a Bangkok, Thailand, in a hotel room. The actor was best known for his leading role in the 1970s television hit, Kung Fu.  He returned to the top in recent years as the title character in Quentin Tarantino’s two-part saga Kill Bill. Carradine was in Thailand shooting a movie. After his death, his family is now asking for an FBI probe.

Just in time for Memorial Day 2009 the HBO movie Taking Chance has been released to home video stores and outlets. This remarkable film is a triumph for HBO and its leading actor Kevin Bacon who plays the role of Lt. Colonel Michael Strobl of the United States Marine Corp.

Taking Chance is a must see movie anytime but its timely release to coincide with Memorial Day 2009 is serendipitous. It is a true story. In all the fanfare about stimulus packages, repeal of ‘don’t ask don’t tell’ and the general feeling of sliding down the liberal path to our own demise this marvelous film is a powerful reminder of America’s proud military heritage.

It is a huge tribute to any branch of the military but especially to the USMC and their bravest front line heroes who have paid the ultimate price. It includes a peculiar twist that runs throughout the film. It is that twist that caused Lt. Strobl to write the details of his experiences in his first-person account of the event in his own personal journals.

I was recently listening to a jazz radio station and the song “Waiting On The World To Change” by John Mayer came on. Yeah, I know, I don’t get the connection between Mayer and jazz either, but that’s a different story.

John Mayer is a terrific songwriter, but he’s a terrible philosopher. If you are not familiar with the song, the lyrics point out some issues that Mayer and all his friends have with the current state of the world. The song continues with acquiescence as he complains, “It’s hard to beat the system.” The appropriate plan of action according to Mayer is then, “waiting for the world to change.”

Catchy tune aside, this song is a perfect example of what is wrong with the system. So many of us are sitting around waiting for the world to change that control has been taken by people who take action. Change never just happens. It is effected.

I am sorry to say this, but I feel like this world has become so darned twisted. If a person is opposed to gay marriage then that person is criticized, not intelligently but by an insult about one’s looks. As good response might be, “How old are you?”

Miss California is now getting criticized for her breast implants? That’s the comeback of some to  her stating her opinion.   How is it possible that Perez Hilton can come out looking intelligent here? Who is this guy anyway? All I know is that he is gay blogger, who is getting a lot of attention and paid money for what? I’m not sure, for blogging? For having the same last name as Paris?

I always knew there was a reason why I didn’t like Jamie Foxx. This recent tirade on Miley Cyrus on his radio show showed his heart. If I recall, Don Imus was fired for calling some girls nappy headed.  I lost count of all the others that had to apologize, do rehab, and have their careers ruined for racial outbursts.

 Yet, Jamie Foxx knocks Miley Cyrus’ looks, tells her to make a sex tape with her daddy, do some heroin, crack and grow up, all supposedly in jest.  He’s hilarious, isn’t he?  Tell me there are no double standards. I never quite liked him; something always bothered me.   I thought it was the ugly girl character he played on TV.  But, you know what, I think I might have seen his heart, and it’s not a pretty sight.
