1. The Illuminati: group that plans to take over the world. Believe in one, united world. Their symbol (pyramid with the eye) on U.S. currency.

2. Area 51: nickname for an air force base in New Mexico believed to be a holding unit for alien spacecraft.

3. Kennedy Assassination: Kennedy killed by government leaders and agencies.

4. Martin Luther King Assassination: also killed by government because if he ran for president he’d have a chance to win.

5. Marilyn Monroe’s Death: government murdered her because she learned too many government secrets during her affair with JFK.

How would I remake the movie “Red Dawn” in this post 9/11 world that we live in? I wouldn’t. Red Dawn may have been shocking at the time of it’s initial release in the 1980s, but after hundreds of movies destroying New York City due to global weather changes, giant amphibians, and super heroes, and the release of a hundred more “War on Terror” movies, you couldn’t possibly remake “Red Dawn” and have the same affect that it did on audiences in the ‘80s.

That being said, if some lame money hungry moviemaker was going to remake it- it would be terrorists instead of Cubans and Russians. And you can be almost positive those terrorists would hate the United States and everything they stand for. They would then attack our favorite places, the places were American greedy consumerism is at it’s best. Malls, amusement parks, airports, all those places were the masses flock to and where we like to spend lots of money. Unlike Red Dawn, small towns in the middle of nowhere would probably be safe, same for places we don’t spend any time anymore, public libraries (when is the last time you were in one of those) and any place of retail that only takes cash (because who carries that anymore.)

In conclusion, if you are thinking about remaking “Red Dawn” in today’s political world, please don’t.

Blog Question: Brainstorm 5 “unthinkable” things that absolutely cannot occur (according to conventional political wisdom) in the political world of 2009.

5 Unthinkable things that couldn’t occur in the political world of 2009 because we’ve become to fat & lazy to worry about such things:

1. Chemical warfare.

2. Depletion of heavily relied upon natural resources (such as gasoline.)

3. Global Warming turns out to be true.

4. War taking place on U.S. soil (hasn’t happened in several generations-government & citizens would be completely unprepared.)

5. Y2K- except for real this time. All computer and information systems fail us. Then where would we be?

My Five Favorite Conspiracy Theorists

The first theory is the Roswell Crash and Area 51 and the government cover up. I believe that this is the king of all conspiracy theories maybe because I was made to watch The X-Files when I was little with my father and uncles. The most interesting one because most believe we are not alone in this whole universe it is similar to thinking we are the center of the universe. Most Americans believe that aliens or something has landed on earth ad there has been many encounters between governments especially our own and something from not around here. The second conspiracy theory is closer to home, the Kennedy Assassination from actually watching the video to seeing Oliver Stones take on the whole thing everybody has a opinion on this. The Kennedy assassination was such a high profile case because it was a President, he were looked at by a doctor and the simple fact he was such a loved man who would want to kill him. The truth is Kennedy had made a lot of enemies in America and outside it, from the Soviet Union to the Italian Mob that helped him get elected. The shooter is also what raises the bar when discussing the death of the president. The next conspiracy theory is moon landing with a small but growing amount of people who see the magnetic field holding us back from getting deep into space and the more we learn about sun’s deadly rays. Many people look to the video from the lunar landing and people wonder why every flight doesn’t land on the moon and establish further our colonization of it. People look to varying things like no stars in the background, film tricks and the flag waving in the background. People see that space is very hostile from debris flying around from old space stations, gamma rays and solar flares that doubt has continued to creep into people’s minds. The fourth conspiracy theory is 9/11 and how people see the whole day and how the events played out. People see the fact that the Patriot Act was pushed through in less then 30 days and destroyed our civil liberties. People look to see the fuel, turbines and sheer velocity of a place hitting a building would knock it down. I personally doubt this one very, very much because of Popular Mechanics and the way they looked at the whole scenario along with the calls form the plane wishing the best to the ones they love. The last conspiracy theory was FDR knowing that the Japanese were going to bomb Pearl Harbor. People in history courses always say he knew and that he saw it was an advantage but I hope this is not true because a lot of Americans died that day. People see that the Ambassador was kept waiting for longer in the waiting area. The fact our aircraft carriers were conveniently out of the harbor that day it allowed us to still fight a war and defend ourselves. People see that America needed to get into the war to save Europe and even when the Germans didn’t do anything to us.
