1985: Hollywood's No 1 Enemy and How the Zionist Lobby Works

I took it upon myself to engage in some top level political research the other evening...

Yes, it's tough but someone has to do it as the country goes to the dogs (and that's not cockney rhyming slang, though it could be).

Thus it was I sat tippety tappetying (!) on my laptop, watching "Back to the Future."

Ah! The memories came flooding back. The funny clothes, the awful hairstyles, the dated music and clichéd catch phrases. Yes, 1985 was a bizarre era.

The funny thing was explaining all the intricacies of the film to the FC sprogs who weren't around back then and for whom 1985 is ancient history.

So it was at various conjunctures in the film the "heroes" are assaulted by "Libyan terrorists." Not only are they terrorists, not only are they Libyans, but they are gun-totin' Libyan terrorists!

The FC Sprogs, raised on a diet of their pater ranting and railing against the evening news connected with Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon and Palestine had very little notion of Libyans.

And it struck me what a bizarre world we live in.

Of course, as I tenderly explained to them, back in '85 it was the Libyans who were "enemy number one" to the Americans, Israel and the rest of the (stop laughing) free world.

Saddam was still on-side. Even Iran was being fed munitions and hardware (American/Zionist policy being Iranian/Iraqi mutually assured destruction). Lebanon was on its knees.

Despite the fact that Libya had never invaded, bombed or declared war on the USA -- or even so much as made disparaging remarks about the quality and cleanliness of its coastal waters -- here we had a Hollywood film showing, yes you remembered, gun-totin' Libyan terrorists on American soil, threatening the lives of good, solid American heroes like Michael J Fox.

Hmmm.

You see, as the FC sprogs were so blissfully unaware it was America that had bombed Libya. Some of you may recall that they even killed one of the children of the Libyan leader. Now imagine the uproar if a country bombed Washington DC killing one of the Obama children... Yet here we have a Hollywood film - a film written and directed by one Robert Zemeckis naturally - which paints the Libyans as the renegades, as the terrorists, as the infringers of another nation's security.

When I carefully and lovingly explained all this to the FC sprogs they saw the delightful irony in all this.

Would a Hollywood film, made by Zemeckis, Spielberg or another of that class of people, now have the Libyans spraying machine gun fire in a shopping 'mall' car park?

Or would they have the Iranians threatening American freedoms?

Take a guess.

All that is certain is that Hollywood will always take the opportunity to underline the common misunderstanding that the "Ayrabs" are the baddies.

Heaven forbid that there should ever be a film, serious, fatuous or anywhere in-between, that had the bad guys as a Mossad black ops team working in America (despite the fact that they have, and many Israelis have been arrested/expelled in and from America, including some carrying blueprints for sensitive buildings et al.

So if you haven't seen it in some time, watch Back to the Future (defensive Pork Pie at the ready of course) and look out for the "Libyan terrorists" courtesy of the American-Zionist Lobby, Hollywood, Robert Zemeckis and his confreres' attempts to twist the public consciousness.
