No movie tonight. Instead, I watched an episode of "Rawhide" from Season Two (1960), so I got a Western Fix anyway because the "Rawhide" shows are like mini-movies, chock full of story, characters and action. I've also been watching the bonus material that was included in the "Twin Peaks" (2017) dvd set. Lynch had a filmmaker named Jason S. follow him around during the making of the show, and he shot a whole bunch of half hour documentaries that show Lynch at work on the sets at various locations like Las Vegas, New Mexico and South Dakota. It is fascinating to watch him work, and to see that he has every aspect of this extraordinarily large production under his control. There were over 200 actors involved with "Twin Peaks", and dozens of themes and sub themes, and as you watch Lynch work, you can see that he has his whole creation of the show, and how he wants it enacted, inside his head.
He knows every technical detail of filmmaking as well. We get to see a genius at work, although - despite his image - it must be noted that David Lynch is a regular guy and not a weirdo nor a show biz prima donna in any way. He's just a very creative man who knows movie making inside and out. And he's my favorite director. So I am really enjoying these 30 minute docs. I've watched four so far, with six more to go.
I have started a new book, after finishing "The Outsider" by SK, and also "An Indigenous People's History Of The United States" (which ought to be in every high school), and also a book about Yale University's notorious Skull & Bones club, called "The Order" and written by Antony Sutton. That book is another must-read for anyone who wants to know how America got to be the way that it is now.
So the new book I have begun reading is called "Who REALLY Killed Martin Luther King"? by Phillip F. Nelson. The capitalizing of the word "REALLY" is in the title, as printed on the book jacket.
Mr. Nelson is the author of "LBJ, The Mastermind The JFK Assassination" and "Colossus", a sequel to the previous book, and once again in the MLK book, as I read through the first 100 pages, we are learning that of course James Earl Ray was framed as a "patsy" for the murder. This was something that many Americans knew back in the 1970s. But now, Nelson is laying out a specific framework that includes the same old devils that were sitting in the seats of highest power in America in those days.
J. Edgar Hoover and Lyndon B. Johnson, two sociopaths and serial murderers.
They are the guys who "did" all three of the major assassinations of the 1960s : JFK, RFK and MLK.
They had help, of course, and with JFK it is certain that Allen Dulles played a major role.
But they employed the use of a "patsy" in every case. Lee Harvey Oswald for John F. Kennedy. James Earl Ray for Martin Luther King. And Sirhan Sirhan for Robert F. Kennedy.
Not one of those alleged "assassins" was responsible for the deaths of the associated leaders.
In every case, a major conspiracy at the highest level of American government was involved.
And now, the question is : what are we going to do about it?
I have asked this question before.
Another question might be, "do Americans care what happened 50 years ago"?
I fear that they might not, because they are seriously distracted in the Age Of Gadgets that we are now living in. Folks may not realize it, but modern society has become saturated in electronics, and folks may want to consider, in the long run, if this is a good thing for the human race.
Staring at gadgets. Tailgating in cars, as if playing a video game. Electronics everywhere, and no one knowing about history, nor caring.
Me, I do care, and in my case for reasons you know well. But also for the reason that I was part of the 1960s and 70s, before America was overtaken by corporate influence.
So that is why I read these books, as I have explained several times. I read them because The Truth Is Important.
America, with the human monster Donald Trump as president, is now in a very fragile position, and we had better step up to the plate to do something to fix it.
We have a lot of skeletons in our closet.
Germany had their skeletons exposed. So did Russia, although they still have a criminal running their show. But at least we know all about Stalin.
But in America? What do we know, officially speaking?
Not a doggone thing.
We don't know a thing, because we are still covering for the psychotic Lyndon Johnson, and for the fascist J. Edgar Hoover, and we still have their names on several major government buildings. The FBI building is still named after J. Edgar Hoover, who murdered Martin Luther King.
So we have a long way to go here in America, if we are going to avoid the fate of Nazi Germany, which was destroyed and rightfully so, and the Soviet Union, which collapsed and rightfully so.
But what about The United States of America? What will happen to it?
If I have anything to say, it will not only be saved from demons like Trump, but it will flourish and answer and atone for it's past, and it will emerge not only stronger than ever before but so strong that it can never again be broken by the likes of Trump, Hoover and Johnson.
That's my America. A great and beautiful land filled with good people, solving problems and acknowledging our past misdeeds and crimes, and setting the record straight.
See you in church in the morning. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo :):)
