Hollywood's War Against The CIA

Have you ever wondered why it is that with more than 3,600 Americans dead in Iraq and radical Muslim maniacs everywhere gazing longingly at skyscrapers, Hollywood keeps telling us the only thing we have to fear is our own government?

In action films, more Americans are killed by the C.I.A., or a rogue operation thereof, than Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, airborne Saudis and every other jihadist outfit in the world - by a factor of 100.

Hollywood (America's paranoia factory) would have us believe the real enemy is here at home - homicidal patriots who control our government and its intelligence agencies, murder Americans right and left (well, mostly left) and conspire to abolish civil liberties and usher in a national security dictatorship.

Take for example the message of "The Bourne Ultimatum."

And as Michael Fumento pointed out in his July 7 piece, Hollywood Goes To War Against Anti-terrorism:

In 1942, Hollywood went to war. It began pumping out countless movies designed to be both entertaining and instructive as to the nature of our enemies. A lot of them were done on the cheap and others were pretty hokey, but they kept drilling home the message that we must persevere no matter the costs or how long it would take. Fast forward that reel to the post-9/11 era. Just how many movies can you count in which Islamist terrorists are the bad guys and that do not specifically concern the Sept. 11 attacks?

Start counting; you'll find that the list is very very short!

So, just who's side is Hollywood on? Up to now, it appears that it's on the side of anyone that's against America and democracy.
