HBO is making a big mistake producing this load of Orwellian
"Big Brother" codswallop. Bad enough they backed "BB" & Hanks
on the science-fiction fairytale "From the Earth to the Moon"
back in 1998. But getting behind the government's party-line
on the JFK assassination is over the top! I believe HBO & Co.
are going to regret this extremely stupid decision. If they
really do go through with it, and air this load of garbage,
they will alienate *millions* of their current subscribers.

I certainly do respect Tom Hanks as a very talented actor,
director and producer. Nobody can take that away from him.
But promoting the *treachery* of what has become the most
powerful, most corrupt, and most distrusted government in
world history, makes you wonder how they sleep at nights?

Remember that HBO comedy special when George Carlin said
"Everything that the government tells me is a lie!" I do,
and rest assured so do a whole lot of loyal HBO fans out
there. Did you catch Mos Def on Bill Maher recently? Def
was hitting on all cylinders. Or "How do you tell when a
politician is lying? His lips are moving." That's a fact,
the government has universally achieved ZERO CREDIBILITY.
Just look at Bush the younger. Do you know _anybody_ who
approves of his job performance? Maybe I don't get around
much, but I don't know of anyone who approves of GW Bush.
Yet they claim his "approval rating" is 33%! Who are they
polling to get such high marks? It's surely no one I know.
I believe that GW Bush's approval rating is closer to 0%.
Don't believe me? Just ask the former SOTH Newt Gingrich!

I'd bet that about the same number of people who approve
of Bush, they're the same people who believe BB's "magic
bullet" that zigged and zagged and zooped and danced the
freakin' watusi before landing safely in JFK's hospital
gurney in pristine condition! Anyone who believes that,
well, I'm sure they approve of President George W. Bush
and their dear RepubliCON-Artist party. People like that
believe everything their government tells them to believe,
without question. They don't think to question "authority".

Think about it, HBO. Are your subscribers so brainwashed,
so naive, so utterly gullible and unintelligent that they
swallow everything that the government "ministry of truth"
shoves down their collective throat? If so, that's tragic.

Well, I suppose if you don't believe we went to the moon, then you're
apt to fall for believing some secrets explosives took down the WTC.

At least you're consistent in your psychosis.

No... the numbers of those who believe the WCR is a percentage quite a bit lower
than Bush's approval numbers.


>Anyone who believes that,

Attempting to tie LNT'ers to the Conservatives would mean that you'd have to
explain how Carter and Clinton got in.

You *DO* know that LNT'ers have never held even a simple majority of Americans
in *any* poll from 1963 onward, right?


>People like that

Rush Limbaugh is on my left, and I'll be happy to debate the actual evidence
with you anytime.

Yeah, God forbid a TV network produce something resembling the truth
about the biggest murder of the 20th century. Gee, I wonder why the
conspiracy kooks wouldn't want something like that to be made?

In 1964, less than a year after the assassination, the truth of Lee
Harvey Oswald's lone guilt DID make it to the big screen (thankfully),
when the excellent David L. Wolper-produced motion picture "Four Days
In November" premiered in New York City on October 7, 1964 (just 13
days after LBJ was presented with the completed Warren Report). It was
nominated for an Academy Award (for "Best Documentary Feature").

http://groups.google.com/group/alt.video/msg/5093634b419405d5

And when HBO's 10-part series based on "Reclaiming History" airs, it
will make a very welcome companion piece next to "Four Days".

"I asked {Tom} Hanks, when do you want this {10-hour miniseries} to
come out, and he said 2010. And I said, I'm glad you said 2010,
because if you'd have said 2008, I'd be worried. ... If he had said
2008, I would have known that he couldn't have done justice to it. But
he wants to make it something that's going to shake up America. And I
think it is." -- Vincent Bugliosi; July 23, 2007; Via Radio Interview

Maybe we can hopefully expect Tom Hanks as Oswald in a movie called:
OSSI THE VERY LONE NUT.

The following quotation describes the imbeciles who believe
everything that their Orwellian Atheistic U.S. Government's
"ministry of truth" tells them to believe, to a friggin' T:

"Only two things are infinite, the Universe and human stupidity,
and I'm not sure about the former."-Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

Fortunately, young people are getting wise to the government's
propaganda spin-machine, realizing that the government *always*
lies about everything, and cannot ever be trusted for anything,
i.e., unless it's extremely evil, extremely Anti-Christian, in
which case you can take it to the bank that the U.S. Government
can be trusted implicitly to make the Nazis look like choirboys.

The U.S. Government is by far the number one most powerful, most
corrupt, most evil, wicked, mean, and nasty government in world
history, bar none. Republican, Democrat, it makes NO difference.
That's why God is going to utterly annihilate them. Let us pray...
