...Hitchcock's "Sabateur", the one with Robert Cummings....another film where American Fascists are hiding behind super-patriotism. In this film and so many more from that era especially, the cops were usually fools and incompetent whereas the lone citizen was the hero of the piece....that's also changed under Fascism...the police are increasingly becoming our heroes...taking the place of the Lone Ranger and Superman. Plus which the classic newspaper guy with the gravelly voice who distrusted rich guys and businessmen, has been replaced by blow-dried airheads who are all millionaires and can be counted on not to rock the boat because the owners took them aboard...no one really speaks for the majority any longer...that's Fascism, especially in a "democracy". ..We have a country wherein the people are encouraged to pray to Jesus rather than make wise policy decisions and where we keep electing officials who are actively or foolishly working overtime to MAKE enemies for us...enemies counted on to "attack" us, after which we have no recourse but to run in to the arms of the waiting Police State, for "protection"...this way not only our Police-State grows but we actually come to love and depend upon the police, as well as Jesus. With an entirely different government agenda, one not focused on war and the profits that come from it, we would have other policies in place, ones which would actually bring us peace and a less lop-sided economy and where this unhealthy and unholy love-of-police would diminish to safer levels. We're not treating the causes of our disease, not cleaning up the swamp, but rather depending on quacks to treat us, while our surroundings fester...and cops are indeed quacks when it comes to the long-range health in a society. --------------------- |
