Bob Roberts, thirty years later, remains the most poignant, hard-hitting American political film of all time.

“And they complain and complain and complain and complain and complain.”
–Bob

Bob Roberts is one of the most hard-hitting, smart, and funny political satires ever produced in the U.S. This is a “mockumentary” supposedly produced by a British team assigned to cover the senatorial campaign of Bob Roberts.

Roberts (Tim Robbins) is running to be senator of Pennsylvania, and he is up against Gore Vidal’s incumbent character, a tired, worn-out pragmatist.

As a mockumentary, everything plays as in real time, and the camera runs on, much as This Is Spinal Tap purported to do previously.

The “crypto-fascist clown” Roberts is also on a folk-music tour for the entire film. He has combined reactionary-right “folk” music, his stock trading operation, and his political campaign into one tsunami of entertainment and political intrigue.

Tim Robbins, we find out, can actually sing as Roberts twists around Bob Dylan type protest songs into mangled anthems of nationalism and greed. The lyrics are “Let the Eagle Soar” button-pushers. One could imagine Ashcroft and Condi Rice belting out a few of Roberts’ fictional songs, if the real world crypto-fascist clowns were unaware of the authorship.

Even the media’s ownership is fair game, something hardly ever seen in this country. The “Saturday Night Live” type variety show is called out. John Cusack, the “host,” and one of the show’s producers rebel against “corporate” and their accommodation of Roberts on the eve of the election.

This is a high-stakes battle, seemingly for the soul of America. Roberts is the new breed of yuppie corporate authoritarians, and his ruthless immorality seeks to sweep away the old more liberal status quo.

Characters represent Iran/Contra styled insiders. Alan Rickman plays an Oliver North type covert law-breaker. He’s on Roberts’ staff.

Bugs Raplin, played flawlessly by Giancarlo Esposito, is Roberts’ nemesis. A radical journalist in search of the truth is the enemy of the crypto-fascist. It’s all so well done I can’t recommend this film highly enough. Funny and yet terrifying because as far as it goes out on a limb, it’s probably still not far enough.

Ukraine has put U.S. Citizens onto its official assassination list. This is war on U.S. Citizens by a hostile foreign power. Treason is giving them “aid and comfort.”

proof … Lee Harvey Oswald, was involved in an operation by the CIA mere months before the killing”

“Why would they want to hide that? Because it’s embarrassing,” Larry Schnapf, a professor of law at New York University

NEWSWEEK finds a “law” professor to ignore the law and talk about the alleged embarrassment of the Central Intelligence Agency. The agency’s feelings.

New Documents Shed Light on CIA’s Connection to Lee Harvey Oswald

JEFFERSON MORLEY makes it into print there. Is he coming around on the CIA’s role in murdering Kennedy? This is how I confronted Morley previously:

A cognitive dissonance surrounds this issue, particularly in the corporate media.  Investigators routinely report highly suspicious facts only to attempt to spin them away, to diminish their importance.  An example of this behavior is former Washington Post reporter Jefferson Morley, who has taken on the Kennedy case.  Claims Morley:  “This is not about conspiracy, this is about transparency… I think the CIA should obey the law” (Porter).

The definition of conspiracy is when multiple parties, or an organization such as CIA, break the law.  Establishment journalists are so terrified of accusing the government of conspiracy, that they even seem prepared to attack the English language rather than to open themselves up to accusations of being a dreaded “conspiracy theorist.”

It appears to be an attempted smear job by propaganda errand boy “JAMES BALL.” He smears Waters repeatedly with CIA talking points. Clown.
