“Occupy Unmasked,” opened September 21st. I took quite a few notes as I watched and the following is an abbreviated transcript of my YouTube review.
This film is heavy with soul-deep implications for this nation. It sounds short at 1hr 15 min, but trust me, that’ll be plenty. Prepare to be humbled if you’ve thought, “Looney-tunes…” when you first heard of, “Doomsday Preppers.” Afterwards you, too, might want to consider stocking up on at least some extra band-aids, perhaps even a little food or water. Just to stay off the mean-streets for a day or two if your town gets “occupied.”
The underlying message is to urge viewers to put their metaphorical ear to the ground and listen. Listen to what the Occupy movement would likely call drums-of-change, whereas the film’s creatives and participants would warn they’re drums-of-war on the horizon – or out the windows of the downtown high-rises we live and work in.
Also revealed is the blatant coddling– if not cover-up - by the mainstream media. But why would they wish to collude with the organizers of “Occupy,” whitewashing the violence and destruction the movement revels in?
The filmmakers’ illustrate the martial-mood throughout; here are two quick examples. First in Act 2, contemporary video of 60’s political-terrorist Bill Ayers is shown (and I paraphrase) endorsing property damage because “non-violence” only applies to “people.” Those on the far left see folks outside their ideological circle as non-people (akin to Muslim suicide-bombers viewing their Jewish and Coptic-or-other-Christian targets as sub-human) as demonstrated in Occupiers’ provocations-of and confrontations-with the Law Enforcement personnel. These Others are fair game for violent-vitriol - shown in numerous in-your-face f-wording incidents. Then their contempt for the societal-order the cops represent escalates to a desire for Destruction when Molotov-cocktail chucking begins. In Act 3, filmgoers hear Jimmy Hoffa, Jr. proclaim to his particular “Occupy” mob - like any triumphant General would, to and about his troops - “Obama…this is your army!”
So, non-Occupiers: will you consider buying extra band-aids now? And considering the filth revealed in the “camps,” add a few rat traps or cans of roach-spray, especially if you live in any of the already-occupied cities or in one of those likely on the Occupy Wall Street’s to-UnDo list.
