1. The prescient Orwell, who wrote the amazing 1984 in 1948 as an anti-Communist

cautionary tale, was a Democratic Socialist. So much for the oh, so 1955 neo red baiters.

They don't seem to get that it isn't working anymore. The current system isn't working for most people, and they are starting to ask what the alternatives are.

3. I never would have predicted that some 2016 Democrats would be like 1955 Republicans!

Soon, they'll be lamenting the untimely passing of good ole J. Edgar. Hoover and his most obvious tool, Joe McCarthy.''

I don't know how they can look in the mirror.

April 2: Everything you’re reading about VAXXED is false….

I saw Vaxxed last night, at the Angelika in New York City—and I recommend it urgently, as something that you must see for yourself, because the propaganda drive against it has misrepresented it completely.

For example—and as usual—today’s New York Times’s article on last night’s screening ends with this ridiculous summation, followed by a (typically) deceptive shot by yet another expert who attacks the film without the benefit of having seen it.

<>

So Vaxxed is an essential documentary not just because of what you’ll learn from it about this all-important controversy, but—no less—because this mammoth propaganda drive against it is a major threat to free expression in this country: a threat that isn’t coming from the right, but from our “free press,” and all too many liberals.

Now, for a piece of really bad theatre.

"He gazed up at the enormous face. Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark moustache. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother."

Funny he decided to change his mind, just like that, now.

RE: Too Late Now!

From Brian Hooker: "Dr. Thompson has been handled and will most likely submit a revised version of his analysis and try to absolve the MMR in May 2016." More coming.

Whatever for? Many here say Snopes and the skeptics have already credibly "debunked this hoax."
Judge wisely.
