This opening salvo in the War on America was not considered "newsworthy." You can now witness live footage of this shameful event, which until now has never reached American TV screens, in "An Unreasonable Man" this week in an Independent Lens production on PBS. Seven years late.
America has come to a troubling historic crossroads through decades of machinations and power-grabs, where the power of people and its democratic institutions has been consistently diluted or ignored and the power of corporations ever-increased, too often through fraud or deceit, to the point of privatizing nearly everything, including our military. During this there have been hundreds, if not thousands of warning signs along the way.
There is indeed, something very disturbing about a society which can miss ALL the signs, and yet seek to place blame for these ills precisely upon an individual and a movement attempting to warn us and to show us how to change directions before it is too late.
This week.
You owe it to yourself to watch.
In my home town of Miami, the program airs Tuesday, 10 pm on WPBT, Channel 2. It re-airs on Thursday at 1:00 am.
