ARNIE PLAYS MILOSEVIC

Just finished watching Arnie in The Running Man & was drawn to the comparisons with the destruction of Yugoslavia.

Arnie plays a man named by the media as the "Butcher of Bakersfield" because he refused to bomb civilians.
----Milosevic was named by the media as the "Butcher of Belgrade" because he ruled over the only country where genocide & ethnic cleansing didn't take place (there are still 200,000 Moslems, 50,000 of them Albanian, living in Belgrade.

The media deliberately faked a film of him refusing to bomb people to show him doing the bombing.
----ITN, allegedly accidentally (as our court insists you say), faked a film of a concentration camp by taking what they specifically knew was a refugee camp & filming through barbed wire to show people outside apparently imprisoned behind the wire (did I say accidentally).

In a gladiatorial trial Arnie takes apart everybody with his amazing physique.
----Milosevic, in his show trial, has taken apart every prosecution witness, with his intelligence.

The politicians & media arranged lots of fighting & explosions to provide entertaining TV.
----The politicians & media arranged lots of fighting & explosions to provide entertaining TV.

The New World Order
----The New World Order.

The killing of civilians is dishonestly blamed by the media on the other side to get people baying for blood.
----The killing of civilians (the 3 marketplace bombings in Sarajevo done by our allies for TV & the real Srebrenica massacre for which Nasir Oric provided video of him beheading people) is dishonestly blamed by the media on the other side to get people baying for blood.

Sending Hunters after the good guys.
----Sending assassins after the good guys - the assassination of Arkan was certainly western organised tho' they still claim the killing of other pro-Milosevic politicians was done by Milosevic.

Arnie is a bit old for an action hero.
----So is Milo.

Unfotunately the ending where Milosevic & a his band seize the TV station & start telling the truth & the audience cheer him & he gets to put Lord Bonomy & Carla del Ponte in ejector seats hasn't happened yet. Unfortunately seizing the western media, or even getting a letter published taking up 1% of the space given to lies, in any newspaper in the western world, is not so easy. Still.......

Neil,

Good post.

Shame about the spammer.
 
Thanks for the kind words. As you see I have deleted the spam & have put the VIEW BLOG link to the CREATE page on my favourites list so that it should be easier to remove them in future.

Jerry Pournelle has suggested the Bastinado for spammers but then he is less liberal than I.
 
Think that could give you some Search Engine popularity, and traffic???
