It's incredibly obvious isn't it. Like Chomsky, Kubrick must have been a NWO double agent, presenting himself as this satirist/critic of American foreign policy with this film, yet dropping this image of the 'conspiracy crackpot' into his work.
This is pretty much propaganda, that slyly undermines the Jim Corr's/Alex Jones's of this world (and their theories of NWO population control through the addition of chemicals in the water supply.)
@roryphelan Fluoride is added to water supplies. It was developed and put to use in WWII. Alex Jones is a shill, period. The people that follow and commit to his agenda are being added to the data bank of the NSA.
Yes, a pseudo-political movement based off of biblical interpretations is the hand behind an actual political movement that refuses to permit any religion or other authority apart from the State. Brilliant deduction!
How do you say that? First of all, apolitical is an adjective, not a noun. Secondly, I'm not a graduate student, I'm a machinist, but common sense isn't necessarily something taught in a university anyways.
One of the real classics by Kubrick. George C. Scott was great, and asked by Kubrick to redo some scenes and really play up the part, Scott did thought it was just for fun, yet Kubrick used those clips instead of the ones Scott thought would be used, and this annoyed GC Scott. If you don't have the DVD, buy it on Amazon, a used one is about $5 + shipping. You will NOT be disapointed, and it is indeed a classic. Watch the extra features too.
When Stanley Kubrick released Dr. Strangelove, it was meant to imply the dangers of keeping trigger happy John Birch Society quoting army relics in the midst of Cold War era diplomacy. However satire still requires some truth in order to be believable, and General Jack D. Ripper paraphrasing Georges Benjamin Clemenceau's famous quote as "War is too important to be left to politicians", does prophetically predict the policy governments would enact toward future warfare as hostages to pacifism.
@phambo101 MONKEY FACED??? ah well good thing that you're not racist, otherwise your neoAynRandian sexless beliefs would spread. Pathetic John Birching, Tax hoarding, compassionles, WWJD-spewing aryan, buffoons. Go vote for Rand Paul or Bachman, one of the other assclowns at Nigger Head...
If this great nation of ours is filled with more guys like Gen. Ripper, we wouldn't have much problems with what that monkey-faced Obama is doing!!! NO MORE FOUR YEARS!!!
What's amazing about this movie is that all the characters seem...real, in a way, like a twisted documentary. It's frightening, sad, and incredibly funny. All the qualities of a great dark comedy.
What's crazy is there are still people who agree with Ripper on the fluoride issue. Fluoridation of drinking water prevents tooth decay, but is still controversial. Mostly the opposition is concerned about health risks, but there are still people who think it's a conspiracy to control minds.
@spfccsmft Ripper's views are satire of the conspiracy theories of the time, that communists were behind water fluoridation and the polio vaccine and were either trying to weaken our minds and bodies or outright kill us. Ripper doesn't say mind control, but he's very worried about it sapping and impurifying our precious bodily fluids-- maybe he's talking about sterility.
In a previous post I thought "Strangelove" was based on Kissinger, who came to prominence under Tricky Dick Nixon in '68, over three years after the movie was released. As for Sterling Hayden, he portrayed one scary nightmarish general. Another great casting was Gregory Peck as Capt Ahab in "Moby Dick", '56, directed by John Huston. One scene with him overlooking his crew with his facial hair and pegleg was one despotic tyrant over his crew. His nose completed the visage.
This STILL asks the question: "Do you really know what's in our drinking water?" I love the camera angle. What's in Ripper's cigar? Mandrake's response is one of total disbelief, as he shelves his true thoughts -- he also just goes along with Ripper (knowing full-well the General is insane). It's kinda like this every four years, when we vote.
One of my favorite all time movies...Hayden from that angle makes him one of the most fearsome characters in film! Sellers wanted to play four roles instead of three. I shared a rented house in San Diego in 1965 with a former USAF B-52 navigator and he was astounded as to the cockpit details in the movie. Sellers in a wheelchair stole the show..was he supposed to be a young Kissinger, Nixon's Sec of State?
@MBDmediaman No, Kissinger came much later. He is supposed to be a hybrid of the guy who came up with nuclear deterrence theory and a Nazi scientist that worked for the US's nuclear program.
Great camera angle. Some of the best movie dialog -- ever. Kubrick is a genius. I wonder what Joe McCarthy and J. Edgar Hoover would have thought of this flick?
All we need to do today is just change a few words around. First we subsitute "Communism" for "Muslim" and "Taliban" and now it really makes sense for the 21st century imaginary enemy.
funny but he sounds just like the insane right wing Xtain nutjobs in charge of the current edition of the US Dept of War...they will destroy this planet soon enough if given the chance
This is just how crazy our leaders are. Bush was literally so fucking dumb and crazy he should have been in this movie. Obama is smart and evil. This country is crazy.
@heartfire451 For deposing a bloody dictator, Saddam Hussein, the only living world leader to deploy poisonous gas both in war and on his own countrymen, and afterwards establishing a democracy in the heart of Islam? And you call Bush crazy? What do you call sane? Allowing the protesters in Iran and Syria to be cut down by soldiers and secret police with little more than a mention? That's sane? Perhaps you call it peace in our times...
@mu99ins For invading a country they themselves have armed, twice, without UN consent, on false pretenses, and with no idea how to handle the aftermath, for financial and political gain. That's why we call the Bush family crazy. "Establishing a democracy in the heart of Islam"... I sense a certain aversion towards other religions LUCKILY YOU INTERPRETED THESE FEELINGS CORRECTLY.
@Metamusik I agree the U.S. helped to armed Hussein & his criminal org which owned Iraq and brutally exploited the people of Iraq. The U.S. has to take some of the blame for Hussein, and so the responsibility falls on the U.S.to oust him. EZ to say Bush should've planned the aftermath, but in the chaos of war, the best plans quickly morph to improvisation. Establishing a democracy in the heart of Islam is not quick 'n' easy. How many democracies are there in the Middle East?
@TheodorePike Your point being? U.S. grudging support of the allies during WWII makes the Bush-family OK... how? You do know that senator Prescott Bush aided the Nazis for profit, right? That the Bush-fortune that put little George Jr. into power is built in no small part on the proverbial Nazi gold? Or is your point rather that we should just forget it ever happened and move on... to the next War? That kind of nonchalant attitude is what lets warmongering take root and fester, enough said.
What happened at the end of the Iraq invasion was a mess, and lessons will have been learnt from it. Otherwise it was a complete success with the removal of a bloody dictator who may or may not have gone on to be a bigger problem in the future. I fully supported the war, and I will certainly support military action against Iran to stop them buildnig nuclear weapons. Better to deal with these threats now, rather than later.
They based General Jack Ripper on General Curtis Le May, who apparently was registered as "psychotic" in some intelligence reports. Some say he wanted to provoke the Soviet Union in any way possible to get "justification" to attack them.
Some president was afraid Le May would actually override the authority of the president to attack. Probably Kennedy.
Anyways. Brilliant acting by Sterling Hayden (and the rest of the cast).
@McLarenMercedes "Some president was afraid Le May would actually override the authority of the president to attack. Probably Kennedy." True - and that's why LeMay helped kill Kennedy.

=I don't have Stockholm Syndrome, I'm just from Sveeden sometimes, and given the amount of you who think you cannot be seen, I've come to agree with blowing you all up=
What a great performance. I love the slow burn as you realize this guy goes from military crazy, to McCarthyite crazy, to totally batsh*t insane crazy.
We need this General as president now. "Take a look a look of what we have in the White House. Instead of someone like Patton, we have patent leather. We can thank the commies backed by the useful idiots for the wussie in the White house.
@jdmifsud14 Please, Forgive my interruption, But to the question you asked. There are aspects of communism that i may like. However the major problem with communism is it does not take into account the human urge to abuse power. So while it may have merits in theory ( hence the reason why so many people were/are for it ) in practice tho it tends to be open for abuse. Just my thoughts on that subject.
@HowlsFury very correct. In my Global History class my teacher explained that On a paper document, Communism is beautiful and better than Capitalism. But when you take Communism in to actual practice, it just doesn't work. so you are correct about that! look what happened to the USSR they couldn't continue, so they collapsed.
@jdmifsud14 Keep China in mind tho, Since they are A capitalistic Communist country ( Odd combo ). They have the economic Flexibility to survive where the USSR didn't. Now to be honest I am not much for capitalism Either, To me it is a very predatory economic system. Right now i am leaning to Democratic socialism, However i admit to much ignorance on economic and governmental studies so i am keeping an open mind.
@HowlsFury I'm not a big fan of socialism however, I am open to Socialism in terms of medical treatment but that's probably the only thing I like about Socialism. otherwise, I prefer capitalism although it does have it's flaws. I'm actually interested in Mercantilism, I wonder what the USA would be if they went with that instead of capitalism.
@jdmifsud14 I don't think Democratic socialism is the best forum of government, However it would allow the USA to rebuild its infrastructure and middle class. Because right now the imperial plutonomy the USA is turning into will collapse like all empires do. That is A whole other subject tho haha. From what i know about Mercantilism, it does not seem very stable to me. too much control in the hands of those who are too easily bought.
@HowlsFury You'll always have a predatory system when there are humans around. But you want the system that benefits all and increases living standards, a system that is realistic to supply and demand and won't starve a whole nation under the guise of "being" fair.
You can try to stop the predatory nature of man with government action, but in the end all that will do is include the government into the predatory actions, which leads to far worse consequences.
After surviving years under communism/socialism I am vouching for this: There are no parts of these systems that a normal, warm blooded American should in any way admire or "like". Period!
You two may have some wondering to do before onset of adulthood but I would advise U to not implement any of their ideas becasue they will swallow U and than spit U out as broken man.
hey does the scene where hes sitting uncomfortably with this guy exist on youtube? id like to watch it over and over its SO funny. hes holding something in his hand while this guy is sitting right next to him and grabbing one of his arms and telling him about some conspiracy or something. and sellers is just like "yes yes.." all scared haahhahh
Take a look a look of what we have in the White House. Instead of Patton we have patent leather. Think how far you fallen as an American. Think of what your father or grandfather was compared to you. You worm you, you lousy worms to let someone like Obama in the White House.

jdmifsud14 9 months ago
@jdmifsud14 Please, Forgive my interruption, But to the question you asked. There are aspects of communism that i may like. However the major problem with communism is it does not take into account the human urge to abuse power. So while it may have merits in theory ( hence the reason why so many people were/are for it ) in practice tho it tends to be open for abuse. Just my thoughts on that subject.
HowlsFury 9 months ago
@HowlsFury very correct. In my Global History class my teacher explained that On a paper document, Communism is beautiful and better than Capitalism. But when you take Communism in to actual practice, it just doesn't work. so you are correct about that! look what happened to the USSR they couldn't continue, so they collapsed.
jdmifsud14 9 months ago
@jdmifsud14 Keep China in mind tho, Since they are A capitalistic Communist country ( Odd combo ). They have the economic Flexibility to survive where the USSR didn't. Now to be honest I am not much for capitalism Either, To me it is a very predatory economic system. Right now i am leaning to Democratic socialism, However i admit to much ignorance on economic and governmental studies so i am keeping an open mind.
HowlsFury 9 months ago
@HowlsFury I'm not a big fan of socialism however, I am open to Socialism in terms of medical treatment but that's probably the only thing I like about Socialism. otherwise, I prefer capitalism although it does have it's flaws. I'm actually interested in Mercantilism, I wonder what the USA would be if they went with that instead of capitalism.
jdmifsud14 9 months ago
@jdmifsud14 I don't think Democratic socialism is the best forum of government, However it would allow the USA to rebuild its infrastructure and middle class. Because right now the imperial plutonomy the USA is turning into will collapse like all empires do. That is A whole other subject tho haha. From what i know about Mercantilism, it does not seem very stable to me. too much control in the hands of those who are too easily bought.
HowlsFury 9 months ago
@HowlsFury You'll always have a predatory system when there are humans around. But you want the system that benefits all and increases living standards, a system that is realistic to supply and demand and won't starve a whole nation under the guise of "being" fair.
You can try to stop the predatory nature of man with government action, but in the end all that will do is include the government into the predatory actions, which leads to far worse consequences.

After surviving years under communism/socialism I am vouching for this: There are no parts of these systems that a normal, warm blooded American should in any way admire or "like". Period!

Take a look a look of what we have in the White House. Instead of Patton we have patent leather. Think how far you fallen as an American. Think of what your father or grandfather was compared to you. You worm you, you lousy worms to let someone like Obama in the White House.
