When You're Feelin' Sad & Lonely


I was feeling a bit depressed the other day, so I called Lifeline.

I was put through to a ‘call centre’ in
Pakistan.

I explained that I was feeling suicidal.

They were very excited at this news and wanted to know if I could drive a truck or fly an
airplane.

Partnership in Communism

The Communist infiltration into our legal system (ACLU) was foreshadowed in the 1955 film Trial. Trial is the story of a murder trial where a Mexican boy is accused of the death of a Caucasian girl. The two-faced attorney (Arthur Kennedy) who takes the boy's case is only interested in defending him so he can exploit his Communist-backed organization for their own underhanded purposes. He and his organization bring in an idealistic law professor (Glenn Ford) who agrees to represent the boy in court.

The Buried Legacy of Hollywood Anti-Communism, By J.R. Dunn

……………. Glenn Ford plays a liberal lawyer of the "communists can be decent people too" school who gets put through the wringer. Dorothy McGuire is present to inspire bad thoughts in the minds of the male audience. But if you can wrench your attention from Dorothy (not an easy trick, granted) the revelation here is Arthur Kennedy, one of the film world's truly great supporting actors. Here he plays a manipulative Party lawyer with exactly the right mix of superficial charm, coldness, and sheer malice.

No other film deals more effectively with Party techniques -- somebody, Robson, the producer, or the screenwriter, must have once held a Party card. But what makes this film stand out is the way it depicts the human cost of the communist impulse. In reading memoirs of former communists, what comes across most clearly is the destruction it wrought on the human level -- the wrecked marriages and friendships, the victims left to face suspicious authorities with no aid from their erstwhile "comrades", the true believers who found themselves on the wrong side of some Party "line" and subject to absolute personal destruction. Trial reveals this aspect of communism more clearly than any film I know of. The scene where Ford discovers that McGuire has betrayed him on behalf of the Party she no longer particularly believes in has an impact hard to match.

Robson went on to make bigger films (the 70s disaster extravaganza Earthquake was one of his), but nothing to match Trial. And along with most of the films mentioned, it's impossible to get hold of. While Fuller's films are available on DVD (his anticommunism is today viewed as simply one of many endearing eccentricities), there is no sign that Trial has ever been available in any format. END Reference.

If stated in terms of dealing with personal health issues. One can prevent cancer or wait until cancer is present and then try to remove or suppress it. The US long ago lost its opportunity to prevent the spread of Communist ideology. The example of one poor mis-understood Mexican boy as portrayed in the film Trial is a nano-concern compared to the massive protests, lobbies and well funded efforts our courts, Immigration Service and police deal with on a daily basis surrounding the countless millions of undocumented people who have exploited their way into our country. These law breaking people demand and receive free education, free medical care, free college educations and all of the rights otherwise conveyed to our citizens. This “cancer” spread one cell at a time while Americans sat passively by enjoying the cheap labor. Now that pay day has arrived and schools, emergency rooms and other services are threatened, the rush to get rid of the cancer is too little too late.

Hollywood has long been a gear in the propagandist engine. Fifty years ago, the stories were about the poor Mexicans who needed to be defended by the fair minded Communist lawyers against the ignorant, closed minded Americans. Today, Hollywood is pumping out films, and media about the poor misunderstood Islamic extremists. The same machine that has promoted the illegal immigrant cause is well tooled to take on the Muslim challenge.

With Hollywood backing them up, the left is ever at the ready to move against traditional values, morals and American traditions. If Christmas trees in airports offend Muslims, the ACLU is right there to defend their rights to have them removed. If American traditional holidays offend Muslims our schools are forced to abandon or rename the celebration. The mention of God in our Pledge of Allegiance offends anyone and the challenge to remove God is taken all the way to the Supreme Court. Hollywood is all too happy to write and dictate history, to manipulate people via films, television and outspoken, high profile actors.

HEALTH CHECK ALERT: There is a new cancer in our system. Too late for prevention. Never too late to remove or suppress it.
