New Film Exposes Progressivism For The Sham It Is
Western Journalism ^ | 5/22/14 | Cincaid

Posted on 05/24/2014 2:28:59 PM PDT by mgist

The filmmaker who exposed Barack Obama’s Marxist background, and debt to a pro-Soviet Communist Party operative, is trying once again to wake up America. This time, Joel Gilbert is using Michael Moore-style cinematic tactics to expose President Obama, the progressives, and their destructive Marxist schemes.

His new film, “There’s No Place Like Utopia,” is due in theaters this summer. The world premiere will be in Denver.

The theme is that socialism’s false promise is comparable to the fraudulent wizard behind the curtain in “The Wizard of Oz.”

Obama is portrayed as the new wizard, in the tradition of Lenin, Mao, and Castro. A poster for the film shows Obama waving the American flag while holding a hammer and sickle behind his back.

Like Michael Moore, who revolutionized filmmaking by conducting personal investigations and confrontations, Gilbert highlights Obama’s “transformation” of America into a socialist state through personal visits to such cities as Chicago, Detroit, and Denver, and interviews with the perpetrators and victims of Obama’s schemes.

Gilbert highlights modern-day progressive strategies, including welfare giveaways, illegal immigration, Muslim infiltration, and even marijuana legalization.

This film has a much different tone and quality than his 2012 documentary, “Dreams from My Real Father,” which examined the hidden history of America’s first black president in a serious and matter-of-fact manner. In that film, Gilbert cited evidence that Obama’s mentor, Communist Party operative Frank Marshall Davis, was his biological father, and that the media conspired with Obama to conceal the truth.

For his efforts, Gilbert’s personal financial affairs were investigated by a George Soros-linked journalist.

Hillary Clinton once talked about the “vast right-wing conspiracy,” but Gilbert documents in an entertaining way in the new film how a socialist state is being built on the wreckage of the deliberate destruction of capitalism in the U.S. It’s a process that’s been underway for decades, with Obama presiding over the crowning achievement—a socialist state.

Indeed, a new book, Imagine: Living in a Socialist USA, captures the mood of the political left these days. They believe their time has come.

One chapter of the book, believe it or not, is called “Teach Freedom”; and it is written by former communist terrorist Bill Ayers. A chapter on the news media promises “first class news” under socialism.

If Marxism has been discredited, as many conservatives would like to believe, then how do we explain the recent column, “Christianity Is Communism! Jesus Was a Communist!,” by Mike Rivage-Seul, a former “professor of peace and social justice” at Berea College in Kentucky.

“My wife, Peggy, and I are going to Cuba again,” he writes. “A week from tomorrow, we’ll be leading a group of Berea College students on a three-week study tour of the island. We’ll be especially interested in having students come to grips with its history, political economy, sustainable agricultural practices, and its form of democracy, its education and health care systems.”

Perhaps Gilbert’s film can make a dent in this decadent mentality.

On the other hand, former KGB officer Konstantin Preobrazensky poses this question in the film: “Don’t these people know about our awful Soviet experience?”

I wonder always about this re Obama and his kind. Don’t they know it FAILED? And can’t every liberal voter SEE that progressivism is an asymptote toward the deepest of tyrannical communism?

It's the same reason we have alcoholism, drug use, etc. Everyone thinks they are special and can do a thing like no other. They will not be caught up in liquor, mary jane, or communism like those other people. You just have to do it the right way, silly.

The film might turn out to be excellent. But many conservatives have to discard the belief that by “exposing” commies like Obama, the wool will be removed from the eyes of millions of Americans, and they will see the light. The truth is tens of millions of Americans are quite content to be leeches and have other fund their worthless lives. In fact, they want more “free” loot from the producers.

Agreed, but the propaganda from the left would make Goebbels proud.

No, they don’t; it was concealed from them for nearly a century (deliberately).

“The truth is tens of millions of Americans are quite content to be leeches and have other fund their worthless lives. In fact, they want more “free” loot from the producers.”

That certainly is part of the truth; another truth buried by the media is that tens of millions of people here (and millions more each year) aren’t even “American” in any sense of the word. Americans are dying off, and being replaced by something else.

Progressivism is an inflated assertion of imaginary superiority.

Gilbert’s first film is great. Sadly, we know full well that he duped millions of stupid middle class people to vote this fraud into office twice.
