2016, Obama’s America – The Film

by Norman Berdichevsky (September 2012)

The Left is Seldom Right), and as an enthusiastic proponent of the film, 2016, Obama’s America by Dinesh D'Souza, an Indian American conservative political commentator, author, and Christian apologist who is currently the President of The King's College in New York City, I would like to answer the question Tom raised in his column ….”Who’s really benefiting?”…and.. “Is any of this reaching the audience it needs to reach?” I believe so.

Hollywood’s Treatment of French Schizophrenia,” New English Review, August 19, 2006). JFK did not just cast doubt, but spread malicious rumor and innuendo accusing the CIA and Vice President Johnson of complicity in the assassination of President Kennedy and cast both the wretched and delusional assassin Lee Harvey Oswald and the unscrupulous New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison in a sympathetic light. Gangs of New York is a totally distorted account of the 1863 Draft Riots that outdoes Nazi and Soviet propaganda in its depiction of every aspect of American society and government as venal, corrupt and racist. Syriana portrays America’s involvement in the Middle East as a provocation and portrays Islamicist fanaticism in a sympathetic light in which the Arabs, the Arab states and Arab-Americans are all the unfortunate victims of the global conspiracies and machinations of the CIA. It is hard for the average movie-goer under the age of 60, unless he or she is a buff of older films from the 1940s, to conceive of a time when Hollywood responded to war and international crises with patriotic fervor and even took initiatives to explain complicated and difficult foreign policy dilemmas for the American government.

The Left is Seldom Right.
