Frankenstein, The Sequel:

Hollywood--premier clinton creator--edits out its own culpability for 9/11 by editing out clinton's culpability for 9/11

Will its own vulnerability to terrorism (and worse) finally impel LA-LA LAND to reject "through the looking-glass for real" clinton ineptitude and depravity?

 

Columbia Pictures' "Black Hawk Down," the holiday action adventure movie about the 1993 Somalia debacle that cost 18 U.S. soldiers their lives, was set to explicity blame ex-President Clinton for the 9/11 terrorist attacks before the film's director and producers decided to soft-peddle the connection.

In mid-November, before the decision to tone down the Clinton angle, the film was previewed for a handful journalists.

Before its final edit "Black Hawk's" closing crawl highlighted a series of events following the Somalia mission, including Clinton's humiliating troop withdrawal from the country, the humanitarian disasters in Rwanda, Bosnia and Kosovo and, finally, the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11.

"With what happened in Mogadishu, with the way that all came down, you end up with the terrorism we see today," the film's producer Joe Roth told the New York Times on Wednesday. "It's so obvious now, eight years later."

Roth said his partner Jerry Bruckheimer and "Black Hawk's" director Ridley Scott agreed with him that "we would be remiss in not making this connection to the general audience."

But ultimately the filmakers, along with Mark Bowden, author of the best-selling book upon which the movie is based, decided that blaming Clinton explicitly would be "unnecessary and too distracting."'

"Read my future." - "You haven't got any."

--Exchange in Touch of Evil between Orson Welles and Marlene Dietrich (as a gypsy fortune teller)

 

 

 

Leni Riefenstahl, the film genius who outmaneuvered propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels to chronicle Hitler's 1934 Nuremberg rallies in perhaps the most notorious documentary ever filmed, Triumph of the Will, symbolizes the naïve actress and director who is induced to deal with devils -- Nazi-pantalooned then. . . nasty, pantless (or nasty, pantsuited) now . . .

 

After the war, Riefenstahl excused her effort as pure documentary -- watch for Streisand, Spielberg, Geffen et al. to do the same one day -- yet she compiled one section, Hitler's motorcade to Munich, from several different events and shot the closeups of Nazi leaders at the podium in a staged studio sequence.

 

As Riefenstahl told it, editing-to-perfection was crucial. She insisted that the finished quality of Triumph of Will came from her editing, not from any imposition of "posed shots" or choreography on her part. With her innovative editing techniques, Riefenstahl deliberately and selectively aestheticized Hitler and the Congress' proceedings. By editing out a shot of Hitler wiping his nose and including instead "more interesting expressions," by eliminating the human, Riefenstahl eliminated the inhuman.

 

The only difference today, in this era of ubiquitous cameras, continuous news and the shameless auteur-tyrant, is that the useful-idiot Washington Press Corps, spun by and on the Hollywood-Arkansas Axis, edits out the clintons' inhumanity (and ineptitude) in real time. . .

Not Joe Klein's Primary Colors. And not Jack Stanton.

bill clinton is straight out of

Stanley Kubrick's A CLOCKWORK ORANGE.

 

clinton is Alex,

one of the few truly amoral characters in either film or literature;

not quite as Kubrick (or Burgess) had imagined him, however,

but rumpled, wrinkled, paunchy, edematous,

stripped of the youth-excuse

after 30 additional, pathetic, recidivistic years

of marauding, stomping, raping, gangbanging, deceiving and destroying.

 

Like A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, the story of bill clinton

is the story about a society that has lost its capacity for moral choice.

But unlike in the less fabulous and no more ironic fable,

clinton is not mere nascent symbol but nihilistic agent.

 

clinton, like Alex, is the leader of the gang, the "droogies."

Eerily prefigured by the rocking, crooked phallus,

clinton's a conscienceless sadist

who thrills at risk and gratuitous destruction,

whose sexual and non-sexual impotence

is at the root of his obsession with "the old inout."

 

When Alex kills a woman during a rape, Alex is sent to prison.

When clinton rapes women, girls, his country and God knows what else. . .

and kills? --- check out those fourscore-plus deaths, please!

And don't forget the wag-the-dog, desperately-seeking-a-legacy bombings,

or the cold-blooded Ricky Ray Rector execution---

not clinton but society is imprisoned,

imprisoned in clinton's

besmirched, semen-stained, feckless presidency.

 

A risible and repulsive result;

yet not even the punch line.

 

While Alex is conditioned in prison with aversion therapy,

transmuted into a moral robot who becomes nauseated

by the mere thought of sex and violence,

bill clinton and his Thought Police,

in a perverse reverse aversion,

have conditioned society's collective brain

into not mere acquiescence but twisted admiration.

 

In the end,

if clinton's arrogant, ruthless, reckless nature is restored to him,

it seems the joke will be on all of us,

for it will be a victory for infinite victimhood and irresponsibility,

for seduction, for violence, for nihilism, for anarchy.

 

We will have set apart clinton as the hero

by making his victims less human than he;

we will have allowed clinton to carefully estrange us from his victims

so that we can enjoy the rapes and the beatings

as much as clinton himself does.

 

 

 

Clinton's failure to grasp the opportunity to unravel increasingly organized extremists, coupled with Berger's assessments of their potential to directly threaten the U.S., represents one of the most serious foreign policy failures in American history

Clinton Let Bin Laden Slip Away and Metastasize

 

 

Bill Clinton may not be the worst president America has had, but surely he is the worst person to be president.*

---GEORGE WILL, Sleaze, the sequel

 

Had George Will written Sleaze, the sequel (the "sequel" is, of course, hillary) after 9-11-01, I suspect that he would have had to forgo the above conceit, as the doubt expressed in the setup phrase was, from that day forward, no longer operational.

Indeed, assessing the clinton presidency an abject failure is not inconsistent with commentary coming from the left, most recently the LA Times: "Clinton Let Bin Laden Slip Away and Metastasize."

When the clintons left office, I predicted that the country would eventually learn--sadly, the hard way--that this depraved, self-absorbed and inept pair had placed America (and the world) in mortal danger. But I was thinking years, not months.

It is very significant that hillary clinton didn't deny clinton culpability for the terrorism. (Meet the Press, 12-09-01), notwithstanding tired tactics (if you can't pass the buck, spread the blame) and chronic self-exclusion. ("I knew nuttin'.")

If leftist pandering keeps the disenfranchized down in perpetuity, clinton pandering,("it's the economy, stupid"), kept the middle and upper classes wilfully ignorant for eight years.

And ironically, both results (leftist social policy and the clinton economy) are equally illusory, fraudulent. It is becoming increasingly clear that clinton assiduously avoided essential actions that would have negatively impacted the economy--the ultimate source of his continued power--actions like, say, going after the terrorists.

It is critically important that hillary clinton fail in her grasp for power; read Peggy Noonan's little book, 'The Case Against Hillary Clinton' and Barbara Olson's two books; it is critical that the West de-clintonize, but that will be automatic once it is understood that the clintons risked civilization itself in order to gain and retain power.

It shouldn't take books, however, to see that a leader is a dangerous, self-absorbed sicko. People should be able to figure that out for themselves. The electorate must be taught to think, to reason. It must be able to spot spin, especially in this age of the electronic demagogue.

I am not hopeful. As Bertrand Russell noted, "Most people would sooner die than think; in fact, they do so. "

*George Will continues: There is reason to believe that he is a rapist ("You better get some ice on that," Juanita Broaddrick says he told her concerning her bit lip), and that he bombed a country to distract attention from legal difficulties arising from his glandular life, and that. ...

CLINTON-WAS-AN-UTTER-FAILURE Containment Team Scheme Fails in its 1^st Effort

 

Bill O'Reilly Laughs Lanny Davis Off Stage

 

Calls "It's the economy, stupid" an Utter Absurdity Post-9/11

by Mia T

NEW YORK, Dec 21--Diehard clinton lackey, Lanny Davis tested the CLINTON-WAS-AN-UTTER-FAILURE Containment Team Scheme in what the clintons likely regard their most difficult venue, "The O'Reilly Factor." The top-rated Fox News show demonstrated once again that its motto, "the no spin zone," is no spin.

The eponymous host swiftly stopped the spin (and the spin). O'Reilly debunked all the shameless clinton-directed revisionism spewed by Davis, exposing the absurdity of the CLINTON-WAS-AN-UTTER-FAILURE Containment Team Scheme even as he underscored clinton's immutable legacy of depravity and failure.

Dead Hero's Father Tears into Clinton

BYLINE: James Adams

It was the moment President Bill Clinton wanted to restore his tattered

reputation with the military before his departure for the D-Day celebrations

in Europe this week, James Adams reports.

 

He had just presented posthumous Congressional Medals of Honour, America's

highest military decoration, to the widows of two soldiers for valour in

Somalia. After inviting the families for a moment of quiet reflection in the

Oval Office, the president approached Herbert Shughart, the father of one of

the two soldiers, and offered his hand.

 

To his astonishment the handshake was declined. ''You are not fit to be

president of the United States,'' said Shughart Senior. ''The blame for my

son' s death rests with the White House and with you. You are not fit to

command.''

 

The president reeled and the unprecedented onslaught continued for some

minutes. According to witnesses it was a ''highly charged emotional moment''

which resulted in Clinton trying to explain to Shughart,Sr. why the events

of that day last October were not his fault.

 

Shughart and his colleague, both sergeants, were killed trying to rescue

fellow rangers from a vicious fire-fight in which 18 died and 75 were

wounded. A later Pentagon investigation revealed that the troops had been

refused the ri ght equipment and there was no political or military plan to

justify the Americ an presence in Somalia.

 

Although the president has tried to escape the blame, he is largely credited

with the failure of the whole American effort to bring peace to Somalia.

According to witnesses to the Oval Office scene, the Shughart family

remained unconvinced by the president's arguments.

 

''The medal doesn't help anything, other than that we are grateful that

Randy will be remembered in such an honourable way,'' said Lois Shughart,

the soldier's mother.

hillary's head revisited:

hillary clinton's brain (such as it is) II

 by Mia T

The smartest woman in the world would relish "the raucous give and take of American democracy, " as Charles Kuralt once put it.

hillary clinton, by contrast, subsists on cozy clintonoid interviews of the Colmes kind...

In her new book, Political Fictions, Joan Didion indicts the fakery of access journalism practiced by vacant politicos like the clintons, whom she sees as "purveyors of fables of their own making, or worse, fables conceived by political strategists with designs on votes, not news."

(More Didion: "No one who ever passed through an American public high school could have watched William Jefferson Clinton running for office in 1992 and failed to recognize the familiar predatory sexuality of the provincial adolescent.")

THE CLINTONS' CHINA TREASON IS IRREVERSIBLE

And. . .Tsk-Tsk. . .Your Malibu Manse is Ground Zero

[KC_Conspirator]

Don't forget that these FALN terrorists killed NYPD officers and maimed scores of others. Klinton also pardoned 2 high profile leftist 60's terrorists of the Weathermen who were responsible for the death of at least 3 NYPD officers and set off a bomb in Senator Byrd's office in 1983.

This revisonism about "Klinton hunting terrorists" is so patently false on its face.

[janetgreen]

We must never forget the mendacity of these two vulgar creatures and their buddies. My fondest wish is to live long enough to see them pay for their crimes.

[doug from upland]

(Here's the version told my Lt. Col. Tom McKenney, Ret., to whom I've spoken.) Anyone not hating this piece of human garbage really does have something wrong with him.

THE CLINTON CHRONICLES BOOK (Lt. Col. Tom McKenney, Ret.)

Eventually, after Clinton had sat on the paper work for eight weeks, two of the slain soldiers, Master Sergeant Gary Gordon and Sergeant First Class Randall Shughart, were posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. As usual in such cases, the medals were presented to the next of kin.

Following the May 23 presentation at the White House, the families of the two men were invited in the Oval Office for a private visit with Clinton. Inside the office, the father of Sergeant Shughart refused to shake Clinton's hand, then he looked him in the face and calmly told him that he was responsible for his son's death, that it was for no purpose, that he was not fit to be President, and not fit to be Commander in Chief.

Clinton was visibly shocked, amazed, and momentarily speechless. It is revealing that he was surprised that the man should feel that way. Clinton really doesn't think the way most people do, seeming to lack a sense of personal responsibility. After a brief, awkward silence, Clinton caught his breath. Becoming angry, he turned to the mother of the dead hero and said, "What's he jumping on me for? I didn't kill the kid!"

Yes, he really did say that--to the bereaved mother--he really did! It was an eloquent demonstration of Clinton's insensitivity, and of his absolute inability to understand sacrifice and responsibility.

SURE CLINTON'S TRYST IS A PRIVATE MATTER --JUST LIKE WAR IS

 

September 15, 1998

 

President Clinton's defenders keep making their case that his private life has no bearing on how he does his job.

 

They prattle on about his job approval ratings, which actually track how fat our wallets have become, not whether he can lead this country in a

serious crisis.

 

Maybe you think that Independent Counsel Ken Starr's report is about Clinton, the lothario.

But, if you want to learn something about Clinton as a leader, I refer you to the part about the pizza date with Monica Lewinsky at the White House.

 

That was also the night that Clinton was on the phone with a powerful Alabama Republican congressman, H.L. "Sonny" Callahan. What we didn't know is

what they were talking about.

 

Now it's emerging that they were discussing sending American troops into harm's way in Bosnia--putting our sons and daughters into a dangerous place

that is full of death.

 

The president needed a vote from Callahan--chairman of an appropriations subcommittee that controls billions of dollars in foreign aid--for the

peacekeeping mission, which would augment an international accord being developed in Dayton, Ohio.

 

But while he was on the phone, Clinton was simultaneously occupied.

White House intern Monica Lewinsky was performing oral sex in the Oval Office.

 

Imagine someone receiving those favors while they're talking to you on the phone.

 

Now imagine that the subject you're talking about is literally about life and death.

 

At issue was the fate of American troops. And also the fate of the Balkans, one of the bloodiest killing grounds in the world. What's going on there threatens to spill over into Greece and Turkey, while Russia continues to crumble.

 

I called the White House on Monday on the chance they would dispute the facts as presented by Starr and Callahan on that night, Nov. 17, 1995. And as they have done in the past few days, officials declined.

 

Callahan, meanwhile, is issuing this statement: "I do recall talking to the president during which time he was seeking my assistance for the American mission in Bosnia. But I do not have any recollection of any inappropriate behavior or comments from the president during my conversation. . . .

 

"I had no knowledge that I was sharing the president's time or attention with anyone else."

 

That night, Callahan and a handful of other Republicans voted with the president's side in opposing a move to prevent funds from being spent to send those troops overseas. They lost.

 

Eventually, the Dayton Peace Accords were signed. The president sent thousands and thousands of soldiers to Bosnia. He promised he'd bring them back

by the end of 1996.

 

They're still there.

 

I called Callahan's office on Monday and talked with his chief of staff, Jo Bonner

 

"Sonny has very mixed emotions about this," said Bonner, who added that Callahan was considering a critical public address about Clinton on the House

floor. "He could be voting on this (impeachment) issue, and he's not trying to grandstand.

 

"But the president says it's a personal matter. It became a public matter when he lobbied the congressman, talking about sending men and women overseas, even as he was being entertained by Miss Lewinsky. . . . You could say it is an insult. And worse."

 

A White House official said on background that the president has great respect for those who serve their country overseas.

 

Yeah. Sure. He proved it.

 

According to her grand jury testimony, Lewinsky said that Clinton suggested she bring him some slices of pizza. When she arrived, she was immediately welcomed and ushered inside.

 

But during their loving caress, Clinton had a telephone call. She recalled that the caller was a member of Congress with a nickname.

 

While Clinton was on the telephone with the congressman, she testified that Clinton unzipped himself and she did her duty. She was at the White House

that evening from 9:38 to 10:39 p.m.

 

White House phone records confirm, according to the Starr report, that Clinton had only one telephone conversation with a member of Congress. From 9:53 to 10:14 p.m., he spoke with "Sonny" Callahan.

 

While the House vote took place, diplomats anguished about whether the peace process would collapse. Muslims, Serbs and Croats, along with diplomats from America and other countries huddled in Dayton.

 

The people of the former Yugoslavia were desperate for relief from terror. American soldiers drilled. Their commanders planned, and most likely worried about their troops, as good officers always do.

 

Across this country, the mothers and fathers of soldiers worried and prayed. Some surely lit candles. U.S. representatives with opposing views fought it out with each other.

 

And the commander in chief, the president of the United States, his mouth full of pizza, entertained himself with a groupie in the Oval Office.

 

He is without shame.
