I watched a replay of the “3 Days of the Condor” movie starring Robert Redford and Cliff Robertson Thursday night. That 1975 movie is so old that it is from the era when the mainstream media was pretty much above sheer partisan bias and would report government abuse and overreach in a heartbeat, no matter the origins of such treachery. The elemental plot of the movie is that Robert Redford’s character, Joe Turner (code name Condor) is a low-level CIA worker doing no more than fiction book research to cross-check it against actual CIA activity. After all of his co-workers are assassinated, he ultimately uncovers essentially a ‘rogue CIA’ within the CIA that operates above all authority. Good U.S. patriot that he is, he leaks all of these details at the end of the movie to the New York Times — because, as we all knew in 1975, the investigative mainstream media’s job was to report when top level authorities were not operating in the best interests of the public. And nobody in America lived in fear of their own government.
Think about that these days, and what the traditional, legacy mainstream media does not tell the public:
- The indisputable fact that – despite a basic total burial of it – plenty of skeptic climate scientists and other climate experts exist who dispute the IPCC / Al Gore version of ‘climate science,’ in levels of detail that will give you migraine headaches from trying to absorb it all.
- The falsity of the Ferguson Missouri “hands up don’t shoot” story
- The falsity of the “Russian Meddling got Trump elected in 2016” story
- Hunter Biden’s laptop.
- The hugely questionable details of the January 6th Capitol riot.
- The origins of the Coronavirus in China.
- Agencies of the U.S. Government working with Social Media organizations to suppress information they deem to be ‘disinformation.’
- And in just the last few days, the total blackout of Project Veritas exposing a senior Pfizer executive boasting about “mutating” the Covid virus. The blackout now widens further with Youtube’s block of the video and Google’s block of search results for the video.
- [ Author’s July 14, 2024 update: Piling on — Joe Biden’s deteriorating mental health. The New York Times all but said, nothing to see here, move along … critics are just showing ‘cheap fakes’ edited videos. You watch now, when he’s seen in the upcoming debate with Trump, you’ll see he’s just fine”. . . . . . . . . . . oops.” ]
Combine that with what is happening to people who question authority. Has the unimaginable fictional scenario in 1975 come completely true today, on multiple fronts?
CIA Deputy Director Higgins: [looking up at the New York Times building] What? What did you do?
Condor: I told them a story. You play games, I told them a story.
Higgins: Oh, you– You poor, dumb son of a b—-. You’ve done more damage than you know.
Condor: I hope so.
Higgins: You’re about to be a very lonely man. It didn’t have to end this way.
Condor: Of course it did.
Higgins: Hey, Turner. How do you know they’ll print it? You can take a walk, but how far if they don’t print it?
Condor: They’ll print it.
Higgins: How do you know?
