This Is An “Excerpt” From The Movie — “Network” (1976) — The Angry News Broadcaster — Howard Beale — It’s Apropos For What Our Country Is Facing TODAY — With Donald Trump.

.

And woe is us, we’re in a lot of trouble!

.

So, a rich little man with white hair died –

.

What does that have to do with the price of rice, right?

.

And why is that woe to us?

.

Because, you people –

.

And 62-million other Americans are listening to me, right now –

.

Because less than 3% of you people read books –

.

Because less than 15% of you read newspapers –

.

Because the only truth you know is what you get with this tube –

.

Right now there –

.

There is a whole, entire generation –

.

That never knew anything that didn’t come out of this tube! –

.

This tube is the gospel, the ultimate revelation –

.

This tube cane make or break –

.

Presidents, popes, prime ministers –

.

This tube is the most awesome goddamned force –

.

In the whole godless world –

.

And woe is us if it ever falls into the hands of the wrong people –

.

That’s why, woe is us when George Ruddy died –

.

Because this company is now in the hands of –

.

CCA – the Communication Corporation of America –

.

There’s a new chairman of the board –

.

A man called Frank Hacket –

.

Sitting in Mr. Ruddy’s office on the 20th floor –

.

And when the 12th largest company in the world –

.

Controls the most awesome, goddamned propaganda force –

.

In the whole godless world –

.

Who knows what shit will be peddled for truth on this network –

.

So, you listen to me –

.

Listen to me –

.

Television is not the truth –

.

Television is a goddamned amusement park –

.

Television is a circus, a carnival –

.

A traveling troupe of acrobats –

.

Story tellers, dancers, singers, jugglers –

.

Side show freaks, lion tamers & football players –

.

We’re in the boredom-killing business –

.

So, if you want the truth –

.

Go to God –

.

Go to your gurus –

.

Go to yourselves –

.

Because that’s the only place where –

.

You’re ever going to find any real truth –

.

But, man, you’re never going to get any truth from us –

.

We’ll tell you anything you want to hear –

.

We’ll lie like hell –

.

We’ll tell you that Kojak always gets the killer –

.

And that nobody ever gets cancer in Archie Bunker’s house –

.

And that no matter how much trouble the hero is in –

.

Don worry, just look at your watch –

.

At the end of the hour – the hero is going to win –

.

We’ll tell you any shit you want to hear –

.

We do illusions, man –

.

None of it is true –

.

But you people –

.

Sit there – day after day –

.

Night after night –

.

All ages, colors, creeds –

.

We’re all you know –

.

You’re beginning to believe the illussions we’re spinning –

.

You’re beginning to think the tube is reality –

.

And that your own lives are unreal –

.

You do whatever the tube tells you –

.

You dress like the tube –

.

You ate like the tube –

.

You raise your children like the tube –

.

You even think like the tube –

.

This is mass madness –

.

You maniacs –

.

In God’s name, you people are –

.

The real thing –

.

We are the illusion –

.

So, turn off your television sets –

.

Turn them off now –

.

Turn them off right now –

.

Turn them off and leave them off –

.

Turn them off right in the middle of the sentence –

.

I am speaking to you now –

.

Turn them off!

.

This  Is An “Excerpt” From The Movie — “Network” (1976) — The Angry News Broadcaster — Howard Beale — It’s Apropos For What Our Country Is Facing TODAY — With Donald Trump.

.

Let’s Begin –

.

I don’t have to tell you things are bad –

.

Everybody knows things are bad –

.

It’s a depression –

.

Everybody’s out of work –

.

Or scared of losing their job –

.

The dollar buys a nickle’s worth –

.

The banks are going bust –

.

Shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter –

.

Punks are running wild in the streets –

.

And there’s nobody anywhere that seems to know what to do about it –

.

We know the air is unfit to breathe –

.

And our food is unfit to eat –

.

We sit watching our tv’s about some local newscaster –

.

Tells us today we had 15 homicides and 16 violent crimes –

.

As that’s the way it’s supposed to be –

.

We know things are bad –

.

Worse than bad –

.

They’re crazy –

.

It’s like everything everywhere is going cracy –

.

We don’t go out anymore –

.

We sit in the house and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller –

.

And all we say is please –

.

@ least leave us alone in our living rooms –

.

Let me have my toaster and my tv and my steel-belted radials –

.

And I won’t say anything –

.

Just leave us alone –

.

Well, I’m not going to leave you alone –

.

I want you to get mad –

.

I don’t want you to protest –

.

I don’t want you to riot –

.

I don’t want you to write to your congressman –

.

Because I wouldn’t know what to tell you to write –

.

I don’t know what to do about the depression –

.

And the inflation and the Russians –

.

And the crime in the street –

.

All I know is that first –

.

You’ve got to get mad –

.

You’ve got to say –

.

I’m a human being –

.

Goddamnit! –

.

My life has value! –

.

So, I want you to get up now –

.

I want all of you to get up now out of your chairs –

.

I want you to get up right now –

.

And go to the window –

.

Open it –

.

And stick your head out and yell –

.

I’m as mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore! –

.

I want you to get up right now –

.

Get up –

.

Go to your window –

.

Open them and stick your head out and yell –

.

I’m as mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore! –

.

Things have got to change! –

.

Then we’ll figure out what to do about the –

.

Depression, and the inflation –

.

And the oil crisis –

.

But, first get up out of your chairs –

.

Open the window –

.

Stick your head out and yell –

.

I’m as mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore! –

.

This “One” Is SUNG To The Tune Of Peggy March’s 1963 Pop Hit Song —> “I Will Follow Him”.

.

Love him, I love him, I love him
And where he goes I’ll follow, I’ll follow, I’ll follow

.

I will follow Kim, follow him wherever he may go
There isn’t an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep me away

.

Follow rocket-man, as he held my adrenal gland I knew
That near him I always must be
And nothing can keep him from me
He’s now in my custody (destiny)

.

I hug him, I chuggle him, I snuggle him
And where he snores I’ll follow, I’ll follow, I’ll follow
He’ll always be my true hug, my true stud, my true fug
From now until forever, forever, whatever

.

I will follow Kim (follow him), follow him wherever he may rove
There isn’t a tunnel too deep
An ICBM so high it can keep, keep me away
Away from my love (I hug him, I tug him, I mug him)

.

I love him, I hug him, I buzz him
And where he trolls I’ll follow, I’ll follow, I’ll follow
He’ll always be my turtle dove, my true hug, my true love
From now until forever, forever, whatever

.

I will follow him (follow him), follow him wherever he may go
There isn’t a dungeon too deep
A gallows so high it can keep, keep me away
Away from my love (I love him, I love him, I love him)

.

I’ll follow, I’ll follow, I’ll follow

.

I know I’ll always love him, I hug him, I fug him
And where he goes I’ll follow, by auto, to sleepy hollow
I know I’ll always love him I tug him, I slug him
And where he goes I’ll follow, I’ll follow, even to the gallows

.

Our little Trump is four years old and quite a little man
So we spell out the words we don’t want him to understand
Like N-O or maybe F-R-E-N-C-H…..F-R-I-E-S
But the words we’re hiding from him now
Tears the heart right out of me

.

I-M-P-E-A-C-H becomes final today
You and little D-O-N will be goin’ away
I love you both and it will be pure H-E double L for me
Oh, I wish that we could stop this I-M-P-E-A-C-H

.

Watch him smile, he thinks its Christmas
Or his fifth birthday
And he thinks I-M-P-E-A-C-H spells fun or play
I spell out all the hurtin’ words
And turn my head when I speak
‘Cause I can’t spell away this hurt
That’s drippin’ down my cheek

.

I-M-P-E-A-C-H becomes final today
You and little D-O-N will be goin’ away
I love you both and it will be pure H-E double L for me
Oh, I wish that we could stop this I-M-P-E-A-C-H

Trump’s “Bleat” from TODAY – (& by “bleat” we mean – as in the kind of a sound that emanates from a SHEEP) – “Nothing changes from the Mueller Report.  There was insufficient evidence and therefore, in our country, a person is innocent.  The case is closed.  Thank you.” 

.

No, Trump/Dump —> it is your presidency, it is your life, it is your life-expectancy that is CLOSED, AMIGO!

.

Now, on to Muelller & his unannounced press conference this morning @ the Justice Dept.

.

Basically, Mueller went out of his way to state categorically that charging Trump – the sitting president – with a crime is completely PROHIBITED by the policy of the Justice Dept.  Mueller states that he never had that option to begin with.  All he could do is – INVESTIGATE. But, he went much further and said that as the government could not charge Trump with a crime because there was no venue for Trump to defend himself in — the framers of the Constitution envisioned that the process could only properly proceed through Congress – (that would be within the House of Representatives and specifically, the Judiciary Committee, which has the sole authority to initiate impeachment proceedings).

.

In short, Mueller is practically screaming @ Congress to take the impeachment ball and “run with it”.

.

Now, on to De Niro’s Op-Ed in the New York Times today – May 29, 2019.

.

Dear Mr. Mueller,

.

It probably hasn’t escaped your attention (in my mind, nothing escapes your attention) that I play a version of you on “Saturday Night Live.” As “Robert Mueller,” my character is intimidating because he is so honest and upright.  I do it for comic effect — that’s the intention anyway — but there’s also a lot of truth to it. To put it another way — it’s good-natured fun, but not entirely good-natured.

.

While I and so many Americans have admired your quiet, confident, dignified response in ignoring that assault, it allowed the administration to use its own voice to control the narrative.  And those voices are so loud and so persistent that they beat even reasonable people into submission. The loudest, most persistent voice belongs to the president himself, and under most circumstances, we want to believe our president.

.

Say what you will about the president — and I have — when it comes to that lying, exaggerating, bullying thing, no one can touch him.  He has set up a world where it seems as if those disapproving of him can effectively challenge him only by becoming just like him.  He’s bringing down the level of the entire playing field.

.

And here, Mr. Mueller, is where you come in — where you need to come in.  In your news conference, you said that your investigation’s work “speaks for itself.”  It doesn’t.  It may speak for itself to lawyers and lawmakers who have the patience and obligation to read through the more than 400 pages of carefully chosen words and nuanced conclusions (with all due respect, as good a read as it is, you’re no Stephen King).

.

You’ve characterized the report as your testimony, but you wouldn’t accept that reason from anyone your office interviewed.  Additional information and illumination emerge from responses to questions.  I know you’re as uncomfortable in the spotlight as the president is out of it. I know you don’t want to become part of the political spectacle surrounding Russia’s crimes and your report on them.  I know you will, however reluctantly, testify before Congress if called, because you respect the system and follow the rules, and I understand why you’d want to do it away from the public glare.

.

But the country needs to hear your voice. Your actual voice.  And not just because you don’t want them to think that your actual voice sounds like Robert De Niro reading from cue cards, but because this is the report your country asked you to do, and now you must give it authority and clarity without, if I may use the term, obstruction.

.

We’ve learned our lesson about what can happen to the perception of your work when interpreted in rabid tweets by the president, dissected by pundits all over the map, trumpeted in bizarre terms by the president’s absurd personal lawyer and distorted by the attorney general.

.

And if, in fact, you have nothing further to say about the investigation, for your public testimony, you could just read from the report in response to questions from members of Congress.  Your life has been a shining example of bravely and selflessly doing things for the good of our country.  I urge you to leave your comfort zone and do that again.

.

You are the voice of the Mueller report.  Let the country hear that voice.

.

With great respect,

.

Robert De Niro

The New York Times came out with another Block-Buster new story this week.

.

It seems that Deutschebank investigators came across “suspicious”  transactional money activity involving Donald Trump & Jared Kushner.  They were “flagged” by investigators (one of which was Tammie McFadden) at Deutschebank but, for some reason, were dismissed upon further review by higher-up managerial staff.

.

In fact, the front-line bank investigator who brought it to the bank’s attention, kept on insisting that the situation was a big red flag that the bank should take seriously.  Her persistent insistence was such that she was transferred to another department within the bank.  After a few months she was “fired”.  Tammy McFadden, a former Deutsche Bank employee, said she reviewed transactions that involved Kushner’s company and Russians in the summer of 2016.

.

This story just emerged over this weekend – more great reporting for the New York Times.

.

Specifically, the suspicious activity involved the years 2016 & 2017.  The investigation showed that money was being moved from Kushner’s bank account and on to Russian account(s).  This would be an alarming revelation for any Congressional inquiry and it seems only logical that this most-recent “development” will get further traction among the House committees, including the House Financial Services Committee headed by Rep. Maxine Waters.

.

Remember, Deutschebank had been the only bank in the world to even deal with the Trump organization.  It seems highly likely that all of this can only mean one thing —> illicit money laundering on the part of Donald Trump & his “brood”.  Deutschebank has been the premiere money-laundering bank in modern times.  Trump & his “klan” have been amont the largest bank clients affording Deutschebank to reap substantial financial return on this relationship.

.

What the fuck was going on in 2016 & 2017?  Hmmm……. It’s safe to say that co-mingling money among Russian “individuals” — assuredly connected to the Kremlin — @ the very least — constitutes an “unholy” alliance between Trump & Russia wherein Russia has its “hook” deeply embedded into Trump & his affairs and freedom of action. In short, Trump is a “bought” man — he is nothing more than a Russian “asset”.

.

Kiss it all goodbye, if for some reason, Trump is re-elected in 2020.  The U.S. will become the “West-Wing” of the Kremlin.
