McCain and Obama - the winner may be the loser in the end It is apparent that the Republicans could not rig the 2008 presidential election like they had in the past. The bigoted, uninformed American public are mesmerized by the win at all cost Neo-cons using all of their corporate media operatives and election fixers to promote lies about Obama, trying to destroy his good reputation. There seemed to be little hope for true democracy and yet somehow the tricks did not work this time and Obama won. But all is not as it may seem and victory may actually be defeat! Let's project ourselves forward in time, using history as our template. Read More |

Rev.
Jeremiah Wright hate speech yes, but evidence of unresolved bitterness
that threatens our future. Jesus was the a champion of justice and a savior of the enslaved. I don't see how Jesus could ever know us as his followers, by our actions then and now. We are now left with the anger that such an economic plan for prosperity invokes. True to form, the profit driven Fox News Network and other prevaricators of discord in our country today, continuously run Reverend Wright and Gereldine Ferarro stories for ratings and to stoke "white rage" among their myopic audience, as the damage to our collective national Psyche mounts. It is laughable to think, as the racist right wingers do, that the media is biased for Obama, in light of this obvious smear campaign. Maybe it's time to step back and think anew. Let us not perpetuate the mistakes of the past and stop this shameful legacy, once and for all! Read more |

Jerry Falwell's true legacy. It has been over a year since the passing of Jerry Falwell and it is time for me to testify about my personal experience with this "agent of intolerance" as the McCain of the year 2000, so aptly put it. Monica Goodling, star graduate of Falwell's Regent University, was clearly "in over her head" as he stammered her way through testimony, in the investigation into Justice department corruption. Even with immunity, Goodling reminds us of a twelve year school girl posturing in the principle's office, trying to avoid implicating the rest of her popular click, for hazing other unpopular students. Dishonest and inept would be putting kindly. Pathetic in her utter incompetence, feckless partisan stooge is more accurate! One of Goodling's little gems was "Caging Lists are some kind of telemarketing thing, I think". Give me a break, she must think everyone is as stupid as she and the rest of this Neo-con rabble seems to be. Racism, segregationism, bigotry, greed and corruption would appear to be their motto.

Charles Grassley and many others want to know if the lavish lifestyle
of Randy and Paula White really comes from Jesus. Here is another chance to expose millionaire TV evangelists, lets hope Grassley has the courage to pursue these two charlatans. I have a feeling this one will end up like the rest of these investigations. They will be lost in a news cycle, inundated by the more lurid pulp of "The governor and the call girl". Even though Spitzer's crime effects just his family and Paula and Randy are accused of stealing millions from God and the thousands of fools who actually send money to these two silly little pea-brained twits. It is infuriating to know these pathetic slugs are tooling around in their $170,000 Bentley, at the expense of the poor boobs that gobble up this "get rich with Jesus" tripe. Think of all the food that kind of money could buy. I know Jesus is just as mad as I know all of you who struggle in this bad economy are to hear this! But wait there's more... Read more |

asks the Moneychangers "What is a Christian?" Not surprising, only one had it right. Millionaire evangelists on television that preach "prosperity through Jesus" are just selling a bill of goods. Just like on any other "get rich quick" infomercial, these hucksters parade their personal wealth, stylishness and conspicuous consumption, appealing to the most selfish and greedy nature in us. The measure of success in the world has always included wealth, high social status, marriage and children, of which Jesus had none. Jesus was poor and had no adornments at all. Jesus had no social status. He was hated by the wealthy and powerful because he preferred to consort with the lowest of commoners, rather that the rich. Jesus never married or had children. Finally, Jesus was betrayed by those of his own tribe, he was convicted and executed as an enemy of the state. By most earthly standards of success, Jesus was a total loser. Read more |

Mad
Max Gibsons' Passion is not The old myth
promoted by anti-Semites through time is that Judas represents the
traitorous, greedy heart of the Jew. This makes no sense according
to early Christian texts. In some of these writings Judas was portrayed
as the most obedient Disciple. Jesus needed someone to entrust with
the unenviable and dangerous task of leading Roman soldiers to himself,
bringing God's ultimate plan to fruition. Judas must have been intimidated
by extreme cruelty of Roman justice. What if the Romans had decided
to arrest all the Disciples at the same? What if the other Disciples
were to seek retribution on him? Wouldn't it have been much smarter
for Judas to avoid these risks, just for some silver? In fact, the
payment of silver and the Judas suicide is not found in these early
texts. These elements were added much later, during a time when
anti-Jewish sentiment was rampant. |

1973 THE MOVIE
This film is the first of three films that chronicle the fictional lives of unrelated people that are unknowingly connected to each other by the events surrounding the hypothetical rapture of the church, in the year 1973. This movie is a lighthearted retrospect of how a turbulent time in history, spawned a revival of a centuries old religious archetype. It follows the lives of fictional character's, Johnny Santino (a young song writer) and Molly Stevens (a research doctor), from the rapture in 1973, through the 1980's. A.D.1973 takes an unorthodox approach to the interpretation of scriptures relating to the second coming of Christ. It is somewhat irreverent is it's depiction of the rather unsavory characters, who are involved in schemes that seek to profit from the church. There is some profanity and violence, but the overwhelming theme is that of peace, tolerance and love of fellow man. There is one instance of drug use, but only as a reference to the liberal climate of the time. A.D.1973 the movie has many references to the political and popular culture of that period such as Vietnam, Watergate, women's rights, indigent medical care, racism, school violence, integration of Schools and forced busing. AD 1973 features muti-ethnic characters including Italian, Cuban, Puerto Rican, Mexican, Irish, Afro American and Jewish parts with dialog in Spanish, Italian and Yiddish. The screenwriter is a twenty year veteran of Film and Television production, as an Art Director. He brings a unique view of production, that makes this film a dream to shoot and edit. Simplicity is the key, as the entire movie is written to facilitate the most economical types of locations, equipment and Effects. We are currently seeking financing for our first film AD 1973, which is now in pre-production. The script for the first of three films, is available for download. It is registered with WGA and all rights are reserved. If you are interested in contributing to this project or acquiring the rights to the script, please contact via e-mail AD1973MOVIE@HOTMAIL.COM |
