Reflections From a Murky Pond

Star Wars Is Classic, Old-Time Sci-Fi

Think about this. Stars Wars hit the theaters 37 years ago in 1977, just two years after the the fall of Saigon and the end of the Vietnam War.

This is Obama’s America – An “America” with a would-be tyrant who loathes both the Constitution and any who dare to speak against hi as its President; an “America” where Separation of Powers more often than not means separating we, the People from power.

2016: Obama’s America

The 2012 documentary 2016: Obama’s America was produced by Gerald R. Molen. D’Souza and John Sullivan co-directed and co-wrote the film, which is based on D’Souza’s book The Roots of Obama’s Rage. It seems that, despite its only moderate box office success, it pissed off Obama’s people – pissed them off enough that they had the FBI charge him with making illegal contributions to a U.S. Senate campaign.

Federal authorities accuse D’Souza of donating more than is legal to the campaign of Wendy Long, who ran in 2012 for the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Hillary Clinton but lost to now-Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand. Long, though, is not mentioned in an indictment obtained by THR on Thursday.

Insiders say D’Souza has been friends with Long since they attended Dartmouth College together in the early 1980s. According to the indictment, D’Souza donated $20,000 to Long’s campaign by aggregating the money from various people and falsely reporting the source of the funds. But Gerald Molen, a co-producer of 2016, says the charge is politically motivated.

While neither Mr. D’Souza nor his attorney seem to be arguing the particulars of the charges, it seems very suspicious and frightening that the FBI would target someone donating $20,000 in bundled funds in an election where the winner, Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), had a warchest of well over $36,000,000.

In a chilling and dishearteningly similar fashion to Obama’s IRS specially targeting Conservative non-profits, this very much seems to be a case of oppression through selective and targeted enforcement of the law.

When it came to the Obama Regime targeting Americans because of their dissent against Obama and his policies, I asked when the Inquisition would begin. Now we know.

Stormtrooper Finds What He’s Been Looking For

Well, one of Lord Vader’s stormtroopers found something. She isn’t one of the droids that he was supposed to be looking for, but he doesn’t seem to mind that at all.

Western fairy tales traditionally end with some variation of, “…and they lived happily ever after.” Eastern fairy tales, those filtered through Arab and Persian cultures, tended towards the slightly less upbeat ending of, “…they lived happily until there came to them the One who Destroys all Happiness.”

As these stories are meant for enjoyment of children, these endings are necessary fiction.

 
Let’s face it, if you want the kiddies to sleep well and quietly through the night, you can’t tell them a story with an “ending” that includes the aftermath and later existence of the heroes and heroines. That sort of reboot of these fairy tales is just to close to reality.

Anything and everything involving Hollywood “needs” a reboot. Without rebooting existing franchises there’d be few new movies because there’s apparently a dearth of creativity and/or cognitive ability on the Left Coast. The one quasi-exception to this is Disney’s animated movies. Since most are based on folk tales and fairy tales they have a more legitimate reason for relying upon rebooting existing properties.

Fortunately for Disney, Eric Proctor has provided the perfect inspiration for rebooting some of the Disney Princesses.
