Evidently, Jerome Horwitch WAS trying to deliver a new warning to us --
Henry Bromell -- I think was the writer on this.
Evidently, Horwitch dropped out after the pilot was made -- "differences."
Cheney, of course, is in charge -- in the person of Traxton Spangler!!
Don't know if there will be a 2nd season --
It has now been acknowledged for the "Hamlet's" among us all that .... "yes, indeed,
these things do happen, did happen, and still happen."
How easily "nods" and silent hand raisings bring about murder of a group member or
a perceived enemy!
And, how many ways we have to kill people now making it look like accident or suicide --
or the "drug addict" deaths we've been made so familiar with over the decades.
We get a look at the people who do these things -- they look normal, but we know they
have somehow become perverted and their thinking distorted, tragically.
Motives? Power ...
Either translating a dollar bill into power over others --
or simply the power to push others around.
"Only fools never doubt" --
--------- Edited to add something I meant to include ....
Simultaneous with the airing of Rubicon, AMC was playing "The Crucible" which was Arthur
Miller's play recalling the McCarthy Era.
In the case of this Rubicon presentation -- The Crucible -- and the McCarthy Era -- it
depended upon an unearned trust in government and/or religious leadership -- i.e., AUTHORITY.
The best warnings on all of this came to us, in fact, by a former president -- IKE!
C-span was just playing his farewell address this evening.
AND -- needless to say -- from the Youth Movement of the 1960's .... which was about a whole
lot more than sex! It was about a challenge to patriarchy and religious authority across
the board. Here's Mae Brussel on that --
"I realized that in this country we had a revolution--of housing, food, hair style, clothing, cosmetics, transportation, value systems, religion--it was an economic revolution, affecting the cosmetics industry, canned foods, the use of land; people were delivering their own babies, recycling old clothes, withdrawing from spectator sports. They were breaking the barriers where white and black could rap in 1967. This was the year of the Beatles, the summer of Sergeant Pepper, the Monterey Pop Festival, Haight-Ashbury, make your own candle and turn off the electricity, turn on with your friends and laugh--that's what life was all about."
