SPIN
[[ LINK REMOVED ]]
| quote: | | Using the 1992 presidential election as his springboard, documentary filmmaker Brian Springer captures the behind-the-scenes maneuverings of politicians and newscasters in the early 1990s. Pat Robertson banters about "homos," Al Gore learns how to avoid abortion questions, George Bush talks to Larry King about halcyon -- all presuming they're off camera. Composed of 100% unauthorized satellite footage, Spin is a surreal expose of media-constructed reality. |
| quote: | It's a film made about the 1992 presidential election and it explains just about everything that is going on now, 16 years later.
The film shows:- viable candidates being eliminated by the news media
- politicians being fed slick answers by spin doctors
- hopelessly corrupt news reporters lying through their cosmetically perfect teeth
The stars of the movie are Bush and Clinton. No, not junior and Hillary. The other Bush and Clinton show. Bill and Sr.
Back when Richard Nixon was forced to resign, he had to make certain that the man who succeeded him in the Oval Office would make sure that the real secrets of Watergate stayed secret. The secret in question was the MOTIVE for the break-in, which involved photographs that linked Nixon to the assassination of John F. Kennedy. So, Spiro Agnew was ejected and Gerald Ford, a member of the Warren Commission, became Vice President, then President when Nixon resigned. Ford then issued pardons for everyone, and that ended the investigation into Watergate.
Now, we move up to a later scandal, Iran-Contra, in which the Reagan White House, then the Bush Sr. White House, were neck deep in a covert operation where guns were smuggled down to the Contras, and drugs brought back into the United States to fund the operation. The crash of Eugene Hassenfuss' airplane blew the lid off, and Bush knew that he would not survive a second term in office. But, like Nixon, Bush needed to make certain that his successor in the Oval Office would keep the really dark secrets secret; in this case, the drug smuggling portion of the scandal.
So, Bush decided that Clinton, government of Arkansas and overseer of the US end of the guns and drugs pipeline at Mena, Arkansas, should be the next President. Clinton, even though a Democrat, stood to lose just as much as Bush would if the full story of Iran-Contra ever became public, so Bush called in a lot of favors through his CIA connections, and the mainstream media obediently destroyed every other Democratic candidate except the one they wanted to win the primary (not unlike Nixon had done during Watergate). The media even went so far as to polish over Clinton's obvious shortcomings. The media, not the voters, chose the President. |
