"From economy's ills, new American villains rise" by Ted Anthony, AP National Writer | March 30, 2009
DEARBORN, Mich. -- "The better the villain," Alfred Hitchcock said, "the better the movie." And in the epic production that is the United States of America, we have followed that advice since the earliest settlers landed. For every hero the American story factory produces, a vivid new villain comes off the assembly line in short order.
Yeah, except THIS ISN'T a MOVIE, this is a LOOTING!!
They COULD make a MOVIE out of it!
Call it the GREATEST HEIST in WORLD HISTORY!
Of course, it will be hard to top Sicko, by far his best film!
We love bad guys in America -- even when they're not really bad. Demonizing helps define the best in us. Here's an incomplete list from the history books: Indians, Quakers, witches, Englishmen, the federal government, Southerners and Northerners, Chinese "Celestials," Tammany Hall Democrats, Germans, Jews, Japanese, North Koreans, communists, socialists, Vietnamese, liberals, conservatives, gays, lesbians and Muslims. The Evil Empire and the Axis of Evil.
Now, a fresh group has been dropped into the cultural dunk tank. Bin Laden? Back-burnered, at least for now. Saddam? Gone and forgotten.
NOT by ME or MANY OTHERS!!! The offenses never end when it comes to the AmeriKan MSM. Yup, the LIES are GONE and FORGOTTEN!! They SURE SHOVE the DEAD GUYS at us enough!!!
Instead, in these jumbled days of economic uncertainty, fairly or unfairly, America's newest Snidely Whiplashes bear faces like those of Bernie Madoff, AIG executives and the private jet-flying heads of the Big Three automakers. Just look at the March 2 cover of New York magazine, which doctored a picture of Madoff into the grinning, bloodshot-eyed Joker, the diabolical supervillain who delights in terrorizing Batman's Gotham City. "Bernie Madoff, Monster," it says....

In the eyes of some Americans, Muslims and Middle Easterners became the cultural bogeymen after 9/11, and Hamad's organization and community are still dealing with the fallout.
We ALL ARE, and NO ONE except the BLOGS are TELLING the TRUTH about that FALSE-FLAG, INSIDE JOB EVENT!!!
Even with a new president whose grandfather was Muslim, he says, suspicion continues to make life difficult for people stereotyped by anti-Muslim sentiment.
That doesn't mean a thing! Guy is proving he's a servant to Israel:
Israel FM rejects Annapolis deal
"And Israel wonders why the world never trusts their promises. And of course, any second we will see an offended and outraged American government cut all taxpayer-funded support to Israel. Any second. Any second. Any second. Any second.... And the United States government wonders why the world has lost all respect for them" -- Wake the Flock Up
"In the Middle East, they cut you one time," Hamad says. "In America, they put you in the death machine over and over."
Because AmeriKa is ZIONIST-OCCUPIED TERRITORY!
The minting of villains, justified or otherwise, is a time-tested human response to threat and fear. When something horrible happens, it's easier to blame a group than to blame a process or to look inward.
This is DOWNRIGHT INSULTING and OFFENSIVE when you consider the FALSE-FLAG NATURE of 9/11 and the fact that MOST AMERICANS had NOTHING to do with the JOOLOOTERS!!!!!
But in America, where big narratives have always ruled the day, it seems especially pronounced. You'd think a nation of immigrants might be warier of demonizing outsiders, but history says otherwise.
Yet there's something different about this crop. Most denizens of American history's rogues' gallery were cast as evil "others" who represented threats to the American way of life. Now, though, it is more complicated. These finance folks are the darker side of American ideals -- getting rich, succeeding, living large, the pursuit of happiness....
Dan DiDio, who knows villainy, recognizes this shift. As the executive editor of DC Comics, DiDio oversees a stable of heroes and villains who distill American culture's best and worst traits into a mythology that plays out on comic-book pages and licensed character products across the land.
This is NOT a COMIC BOOK or a MOVIE, dammit!!!!!!
The DC line's most prominent supervillain, Superman's archenemy Lex Luthor, spent five decades as a power-hungry mad scientist before being recast in recent years as an amoral industrialist and businessman who dabbles in politics. Sometimes, after all, the wolf comes to us in sheep's clothing....
9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11!
Because America was built upon a notion of being imperiled. Our founding mythology is largely protective -- protecting communities from Indian attacks, protecting good Christians from religious dissidents and witches, protecting the colonies from British usurpations. Trouble is, not too many examples of American bad-guyism in history are still our enemies today. And for some of them, even having been cast as enemies at all seems kind of ridiculous from the vantage point of 2009.
No looking inward, huh, guy?
No facing up to the lies and mass-murder of so many by AmeriKa these centuries?
"You see these waves of changing villains -- now they're a villain, now they're a friend. We can talk ourselves into anything," says Michael Barson, author of "Red Scared: The Commie Menace in Propaganda and Popular Culture."
Or the reverse in Saddam Hussein's case.

************
Ultimately, the problem with our latest villains is that in some cases, they are distorted, outsized representations of the same problems we've faced in our own homes.
And WHOSE FAULT is THAT, lying, agenda-pushing, war-promoting, Muslim-hating, AmeriKan MSM?
We're overextended with our credit. We're buying into mortgages we know are expedient at best and unstable at worst. Some of us even cheat on our taxes. The difference between us and our villains, sometimes, is that they screwed up on a much larger canvas.
Now this is just a DOWNRIGHT INSULT to the AMERICAN PEOPLE!!
Yup, this is ALL YOUR FAULT!
The LOOTING and LYING you had NOTHING to do with?
YOUR FAULT!!!!
See: Whatever Happens in Switzerland Stays in Switzerland
"You can't fantasize about sending out Arnold Schwarzenegger to blow them into little-bitty pieces," Barson says. "You can't use anti-tank guns to blow up a bunch of idiotic bankers who ruined it for everybody. But they're the villains now. They're who everybody is going to go to sleep hating, and they're who everybody's going to wake up tomorrow hating."
First of all, I prefer "Shooter" instead, and secondly, what is a fantasy about that? The author referenced comic books and movies!
Btw, there IS a DIFFERENCE between RAGING ANGER and HATE -- although I have enough of both for the evil pukes!
Until, of course, the angry zeitgeist cranks out our next set of villains....
You mean, something like this, to be blamed on them?
ANOTHER CIA/MOSSAD false-flag?For now, these are the demons we have recruited to help us cope with our lot. They exist somewhere between two-dimensional caricatures and the reality of the bad things they did, and we condemn them and, maybe, just maybe, learn something along the way....
Unless you are going to talk 9/11 truth, leave me alone!
