Al Pacino’s ‘The Recruit’ Produced by The CIA as Infomercial to Enhance the Company. *SUBSCRIBE* for extra nice movies each day and pontificate within the feedback …
"JACK RYAN: SHADOW RECRUIT" – When I watched that last year I realized it, too, was just another CIA propaganda piece. Chris Pine's character even brings up the fact that the CIA is not popular with the public because of its torture programs and Kevin Costner's character simply says, "Not my unit." Yeah, glossed right over that and the two goofballs went on to save the world from those evil "Commies." Hooray for the CIA! Amirite?
Morning Mark Im on here to strictly ask for some advice. Thursday March 26. Obama is suppose to deliver a speech at my college, how can I get a chance to draw him into a line of questioning, and what should I ask? Im sure media will be there so I do not wanna piss this opportunity to expose some truths. HELP I HAVE NEVER ATTEMPTED SOMETHING SUCH AS THIS
@Mark Dice what is your opinion on that tv show 24 . I was always intrigued by that tv show . On one hand you have hardcore government propaganda and on the other hand that show often has the government directing terrorist attacks .
Anyone remember when Avatar was beat by HURTLOCKER for movie of the year? LOL, hurtlocker was basically an ad for bomb diffusers and tried their damnedest to glorify the job(I'm sure nobody wanted to disable roadside I.E.D.'s for a meager paycheck).
Fuck tv. Everything i used to love turned out to be fake or propaganda… Speaking of which you should do a video on the WWE mark, I'm sure vince McMahon is probably a bohemian grove regular.

First (and only) time I ever watched it, I remember thinking to myself, "Man, this feels just like a recruitment film for the CIA."
Fortunately, the movie garnered only mediocre box office numbers and reviews. It's pretty much forgotten.
U.S. Army would only rent equipment out if they couldt change the manuscript in apocalypse now.
Hell, if the CIA are recruiting, where do I sign up!?
Am I the only thinking we should get rid of the irs, but the CIA as well
End the Fed! End the C.I.A and End the I.R.S!
