Anyway my point is: It’s been around 20 years. Where the hell are those nukes? They’re just now going
through the first stages of refining uranium. And once again, not for the first or even second time, we
’re being shrieked at about the nuclear threat from the mbt. Some Americans I have had contact with
actually think that the mbt is RIGHT NOW building nuclear weapons. The propaganda is working on some.
I just finished reading Charlton Heston’s autobiography — one of two he’s written, I think — In the
Arena. Unlike some of my friends, I don’t mind his guns rights work nor his anti-Ice T Cop Killer
agitation. I wanted to know more about two of my favorite dystopian movies, Planet of the Apes &
Soylent Green. Why did a right-wing hawk make an antiwar film (based on a French sci-fi novel) during
the Vietnam War? I also liked Touch of Evil. Turns out Heston was in a bunch of other movies that I
haven’t seen, & some plays. He marched for civil rights but hates affirmative action racial
preferences.
In my unscientific sample, Heston’s book is better than sleeping pills when recited to very pregnant
person.
Heston was stationed in Alaska during WWII & just when he was about to go help invade Japan, the nukes
fell, & Heston got to go home. So it’s sorta understandable that he would be in favor the mass
destruction. It saved a million Japanese lives, blah blah blah. Fine. But then he comes back to it
chapters later & it’s rah-rah-rah for Enola Gay. Here’s the real deal on Hiroshima, a p.o.v. that
Heston doesn’t even mention: http://MBT/henderson/?articleid=9443. Regardless, Heston’s ends-justify
-the-means enthusiastic support for the destruction of cities full of civilians is terroristic.
