Under Air America, it can be worth checking out Top Secret. The movie is about some CIA operation or whatever, loosely from memory, about taking a castle, one that we can call "Hindenburg", a symbol of the Nazi ideology, and how difficult it is to overthrow such when indeed human nature is as it is.

Hollywood is famous for its hippie march over "peace and freedom" and I think this movie depicts just this, that frustration over World matters when there more than enough in the World to make the World an intelligent place, in terms of systems, science, knowledge, medicine and the work that needs to be completed, that is, we know what it takes, but how to get there when the World is as it is?!
Not only this, but I think the movie also displays some features over the nature of entering the intelligence services and how to make it all come together, with personal causes start to build up, also in speaking of hostility and "incompatibilities" in work!

Also, in terms of resources, that money mostly end up with the corrupt and that "the course of the righteous (and religious)" takes place on a lower level, at the "farmers / farm workers level"! Just a notice to the struggles of Jihad vs. /some/ "western" features of "established money and rights/titles" and the classic North (rich) and South (poor) divide that one usually discusses in political science. You can include the "Operation Condor" or something with Robert Redford over some intelligence services comment, this being set in the Cold War (Soviet Union and Communism). Make sure you hit the right movie because I'm uncertain about the title...

You can add several more movies to this line of thinking, but one in particular that has importance is the: The Evil That Men Do by Charles Bronson. It certainly sheds some light on the southern countries of USA and I recall particular Argentina and the military people, but you can add Honduras and all else. I think it's fairly obvious that TORTURE has always/usually been and is a "political tool" that's now being /used/ by more and more countries and not anything either, but by the medical doctors as you would anticipate! Beware!
ReplyDeleteDON'T EXCLUDE NORWAY FROM THE TORTURE SET-UPS. And as much as they have produced this "degradation" material on me for subverting my person into submission... Well, well, I think this becomes clear to you!
