I just saw the premiere here of the 1969 French movie, Army of Shadows. It's about the French resistance during WWII, and it is one of the greatest, but most depressing, movies of all time. Not to spoil it, if you can see it, but they end up killing their own more than the Nazis, because the Nazis have a very effective strategy to find them out: National ID papers. In a normal society, you can get by with a forged one, but their strategy was to bring in anyone even slightly suspicious and turn them into informers. In one scene, they brought in an entire restaurant, including our hero, because they had meat on their plates. That proved they were breaking some law, so they demanded papers then rounded them all up. This is a must-see if you can get a chance.

Two other movies coming up of interest. Al Gore's film, An Inconvenient Truth, opens Friday in most cities, and I hear it is a knockout. The anti-science gang is going to hate this one.

And "Who Killed the Electric Car" opens at the end of the month. As you might know, GM had LA's trolley system torn up so they could sell them buses. They made it impossible for the average person to get around LA without a car, which was their plan.

The murder of the electric car was worse. By now, we would have one that would go hundreds of miles on a simple recharge. GM killed that too. I saw the previews and can't wait for the movie.

All 3 sound interesting, especially the 1st and 3rd.

My mom used to ride that electric streetcar, for 5 cents.

Army of Shadows is profoundly depressing. It shows just what the Bushies are up to, making everyone rat on everyone else. The heros are very brave. They end up spending all their time killing informers, even their best friends, which is what the Nazis want them to do. It's a deceptively profound movie.

And it explains why a bunch of powerful people can bring any populace, no matter how well armed, to their knees. The thing that really got me was an early scene where a guy is bringing a radio to a contact. As he gets off the train, they announce that all bags will be checked as they exit. He pulls a fast one, but he could be hung for having a radio, and there is no way to get through them without his trick. Which could have failed badly.

If you think you are paranoid now, see this movie.

The use of infiltrators and informers is already taking place.

We sometimes call them trolls. But believe me, we are being watched here. Other sites I belong to have routine hits from the CIA and FBI and other DC addresses. I doubt it's a bored security guard...
