HOODWINKED MINDS

“When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, “This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,” the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything — you can’t conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him.”

If This Goes On (1940) by Robert Anson Heinlein (7 July 1907 – 8 May 1988) was one of the most popular, influential, and controversial authors of science fiction of the 20th Century.

EVERY DAY IS BLACK FRIDAY

To consume, or not to consume?  This is the question: Whether ’tis Nobler in our minds to suffer The Slings and Arrows of outrageous corporations, Or to withhold our commerce, And by not spending end them?

In a world ruled by Corporations and the government lobbyists they pay for, every day is Black Friday.  If you are a consumer, YOU are the one who decides which corporations rule, or not.

strangelove posterDr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb is a political commentary, disguised as a satire black comedy film, that reveals the “Cold War” fears of a nuclear conflict between the USSR and the US.  The story concerns a psychopathic United States Air Force general who orders a first strike nuclear bomber attack on the Soviet Union.

It follows the President of the United States, his advisers, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and a Royal Air Force (RAF) officer as they try to recall the bombers to prevent a nuclear apocalypse. It separately follows the crew of one B-52 bomber as they try to deliver their payload of nuclear bombs to destroy a Russian nuclear missile and begin the Global Nuclear Holocaust when Russian retaliates by exploding their a “doomsday device“, which consists of many buried bombs jacketed with “Cobalt-Thorium G” connected to a computer network set to detonate them automatically should any nuclear attack strike the country. Within two months after detonation, the Cobalt-Thorium G would encircle the earth in a radioactive cloud, wiping out all human and animal life.
