Just watched the film Nuremberg. Russell Crowe great as always, based on an interesting back story.<\/p>\n
The psychiatrist Kelley ended up in a very bad way personally and psychologically. He killed himself in 1958 in a particularly situation that was particularly horrible.<\/p>\n
I was struck by the clip where, on a radio show, and already drinking heavily, he is forcefully raising the alarm that fascism is endemic, evil is in us all, Nazis are here!<\/p>\n
Reminds me of the ending of 1956 film ‘Invasion of the Body Snatchers’ where the protagonist rushes onto a busy highway screaming “they’re here, they’re here…”.\u00a0At the time this was read by some reviewers as a reference to the widespread propaganda that communists had infiltrated US society (it was the McCarthy era after all).<\/p>\n
So fascists AND communists!!! Hardly any room left for Americans!<\/p>\n
(Mind you, not so far off about Fascists. Have also just read ‘Numero Zero’ by Umberto Eco where he writes about ‘Operation Gladio’, a post-war NATO\/CIA orchestrated project to maintain organised networks of fascist ‘stay behinds’. Who knew? I didn’t! Chilling stuff. And no wonder we are fucked …)<\/p>\n
