Anti-Palestine Hollywood McCarthyist MAGA Blacklists

The clock of history turns regularly in the US. Between bouts of real social and political progress, the dumb American Republicans periodically carry out witch hunts against hypothetical enemies they invent to assert their control over an equally dumb American population. 

Between the late 1930s and the 1950s, the enemy to be burned at the stake were hidden "Communists" who were suspected of scheming with the Soviets to corrupt the fantastic eden on earth of the "American Way of Life" with communist ideas. In 1954, Senator Joe McCarthy House Un-Amerian Activities Committee held televised hearings - which were Catholic Inquisition-like witch hunt interrogations - in which those deposed were accused of being, or associating with, communist infiltrators. To keep their jobs and avoid being blacklisted by Hollywood, the media and other major institutions, they were asked to snitch on associates and friends. Many lives were ruined during this Republican moron-instigated dark period of US history. You should watch Woody Allen's "The Front" movie to get a glimpse of what it was like to be blacklisted in the US at the time. 

Those targeted by this rabid chronic idiocy of the extreme right were authors, actors, screenwriters and artists whose freedom of speech, opinion, and conscience were seen by the chroncially dumb Republicans as dangerous to America. 

Nowadays, the communists are no longer the enemy. They new enemy is Palestine which is reeling under a relentless genocide and ethnic cleansing by the Zionist friends of the Republican morons. The objective here is so stiffle any opinion that stands against the Zionist barbarity in Palestine. The 2020s version of McCarthyism's ugliness is in the current MAGA-GOP-Republican war against speaking out against the Zionist rape of Palestine. Anyone who challenges the barbarity of the Zionists in occupied Palestine is deemed to be a pro-Palestinian "terrorist". The absurd formula is simple: If you speak for freedom and justice in Palestine, you are a violent terrorist and an antisemite. 

Right now, there is a blacklist of authors, journalists, academics, screenwriters, actors etablished by Trump's MAGA to destroy the lives of those who dissent from the dogma of the Zionist Right, which says that Palestine must be killed, silenced, eradicated and erased from daily discourse and the annals of history, because it exposes the atrocity of the colonial Israeli Zionist narrative. By definition, the existence of a Palestine (the historic millennial entity) negates the artificially-created Zionist Israel. Trump has attacked, harassed and theatened universities, professors, researchers, students, actors and others who constitute the intellectual bastion of freedom in America if they dare speak against the rape and genocide of Palestine by the violent ultra-religious barbarian Zionists.

MAGA is the new McCarthyism, and Hollywood is again divided betwen those targeted (those who speak out) and the cowardly accomplices (those who cave in and bend like cowards without a conscience just to keep their jobs).

MAGA is totalitarian. It claims to work for freedom but in reality it aims to stiffle freedom and dissent. The general strategy is to accuse your perceived enemy of your own filth, the now common "every accusation is a confession" that Trump has established as the modus operandi of the Radical Right. Those who accuse you of being anti-Israel are themselves deeply antisemitic. Those who accuse you of canceling others are canceling others. Those who accuse you of being "woke" and DEI are themselves intolerant racists aiming to cause prejudice and practice discrimination against all those who are NOT White Anglo-Saxon Christian Supremacist Protestant.

The Zionist narrative has succeeded in killing Palestine in the minds of the American public over much of the past several decades through Hollywood movies, documentaries, books, press publications, museums,.... by portraying the Zionist rapist of Palestine as the victim of his own Palestinian victim. But a younger geeneration of Americans and westerners has now access to the facts and the archives thanks to the democratization of information. The Zionist monopoly over the information is gone. And when you give reasonable people the facts, they make their own free judgment. And that terrifies the Zionists and their MAGA-GOP poodles.

Javier Bardem Says Tide Is Turning on Hollywood Speaking Up for Palestine: Those Making Blacklists ‘Will Be the Ones Suffering the Consequences’

Javier Bardem thinks the tide is turning in terms of speaking up for Palestine in Hollywood, telling a Cannes Film Festival press conference on Sunday that “everyone is beginning to realize … this is unacceptable.”

The Oscar-winning Spanish actor, who is at Cannes with his latest film “The Beloved,” was asked immediately if he has any fear of suffering consequences in his career for denouncing the war in Gaza. Bardem has been one of the most outspoken actors on the topic, taking the opportunity at the Oscars to say “Free Palestine” while presenting the award for best international feature film.

“The fear does exist, granted, but one has to do things even if you feel a bit scared or afraid,” he said. “You have to be able to look at yourself in the mirror, look at yourself in the eyes and that was my case. My mother taught me to be the way I am. There is no plan B. This entails consequences, which I am fully ready to shoulder.”

Bardem noted that he “can’t corroborate” that there is an actual blacklist, and has actually continued to receive many offers all over the world which makes him believe that “things are changing.”

“Everyone is beginning to realize — thanks to the younger generation who is more aware of situations we’re experiencing quite directly on our phones and on other screens — this is unacceptable. It cannot be justified. And there can be no reason, no explanation for this genocide,” he said. “Therefore, I think what is happening is quite the contrary. I believe that those who are drawing up the so-called blacklists will actually be exposed, and they will be the ones suffering the so-called consequences, at least on a public and social level. And this is a major change.”

Asked later in the conference for his thoughts on democracy, Bardem also hit out at the Paramount and Warner Bros. merger. “I believe that there is an increasing monopoly in the world of information, that’s one of the problems that we note given Paramount and Warner Bros. and their merger, for example,” he said. “In terms of information, who is actually going to control all of this, what we’re listening, what we’re seeing? So I think that is very clear and is growing in importance with tech and social networks and rapid, summed-up messages which are very populist. They indeed have an impact on the young generation. That concerns me no end. We have to ensure the younger generation continues to think, apply reason, they need to understand, to compare, to check information. if they don’t it’s very dangerous, indeed.”

Bardem told Variety in a recent cover story that he’s “always felt that I have microphones and recorders recording my voice, and I have the right to denounce what I think is wrong.” Though there’s been chatter about celebrities who speak up about Gaza being put on a blacklist, the actor said he’s felt as much support as backlash.

“Some people will put you on a blacklist. I cannot tell you if that’s true or not — I don’t have the facts,” he said. “What I do have the facts about are the new people that are calling you because they want you in their project. That makes me feel that the narrative that they’ve been using for so long is changing.”
