The Next Films For Mel Gibson
By Bruce Walker (03/05/2004)

‘The Passion of Christ’ is well on its way to becoming the greatest
film in history, and this victory is despite all the agitprop of the
Left. Mel Gibson, like Rush Limbaugh and like President Bush, is
carrying a battle flag for all conservatives and other normal people.
Now – finally! – that Silent Majority seems to have grasped the
importance of those point men.

The defeat of the Left began when the various barbarian hordes who
constitute Leftism discovered that all their threats, all their
mocking, all their venom, and all their enticements could not sway
Rush Limbaugh or separate him from his tens of millions of listeners.
Although others will doubtless move into foxholes he has held, his
steely determination not to yield was critical.

The full weight of Leftism against President Bush will lead either to
the destruction of a great president or to the complete
demoralization of these hungry, rapacious barbarians. If the Left
cannot defeat President Bush in 2004, then it will never be able to
win an American presidential election.

Now, in the very heart of Leftism, Hollywood, Mel Gibson is proving
that he is stronger and braver than they are. Perhaps `Braveheart,’
which described a Scotsman who stood against all odds for his right
and the right of others to live free was the turning point. Although
a critically acclaimed film, the message was subtly anti-Leftist.

Certainly `The Patriot’ also had the same theme. These two films,
however, could also be explained away as defiance against colonial
oppressors, one of the mythical monsters of Leftism fantasy. The next
film, however, left less ambiguity.

Signs is profoundly religious and profoundly terrifying. It is also
profoundly Christian. Viewers and critics may have missed the symbols
– water, small communities in the Middle East, denial and then
acceptance – but astute Christians should not doubt that this was a
film very much in the tradition of `Out of the Silent Planet.’

What films should Mel Gibson make next? Here are some suggestions.
The only advice I would deign to offer beyond these suggestions is
this: Be bold! Be bold! Be bold! The staid, dull, dreary plots and
dialogue of Leftist culture is both craven and empty. Gibson can do
much more than that with films like these:

‘Venona and Hollywood.’ America now knows what Ronald Reagan knew
when he was in Hollywood. Communist infiltration was very real and
very dangerous. Mel Gibson should make a film – erring on the side of
caution in his conclusions – which historically describes the role of
communists in American culture.

We no longer have to speculate about whether or not the Soviet Union
actively manipulated the film industry. We have names, code names,
directions, actions – some through decryption, some through the
actual archives of the KGB and GRU, some through reports of agents
like Morris Childs (the second highest ranking member of the
Communist Party USA, who was an FBI agent) and some from the
intelligence services of other communist countries.

An honest telling of this tale would also show why a Hollywood which
once was largely run by patriotic Jewish Americans produced films
both gentle and sympathetic toward Christianity and why a Hollywood
with a much smaller Jewish involvement is so hysterical about `The
Passion of Christ.’ Jewishness and Judaism are not the villains;
communism is the villain.

`Tibet.’ The genocide of the Tibetan people was a direct consequence
of the triumphant of communism in China. The Tibetan Holocaust was
not discovered by Leftist prima donnas like Richard Gere; it was
first exposed by anti-communists in America during the 1950s and
1960s. I first recall eyewitness, horrific accounts in Dr. Schwartz’s
Christian Anti-Communist Crusade.

Why were people like Gere carrying about copies of Mao’s Little Red
Book (aka `Mein Kampf’) by the Tibetan people were being tortured,
imprisoned and exterminated? It was not chic to be anti-communist in
1965, and much more important than trifles like holocausts and
`cultural revolutions’ Leftists were concerned about always being
chic.

`Armenia.’ The first holocaust. The forgotten holocaust. The
un-holocaust. While the world watched – even worse, after the
Himmler, the Heydrich, the Hitler of Turkey had lost the war – at
least one million Armenians were exterminated for their Christian
faith and their misfortune of being a nation conquered by the Moslem
Turks.

This was the laboratory for what was later used in the Gulag by the
Soviets, then used in eastern Poland by the Soviets, then used
against Jews by the Nazis. Moreover, this was a war on Christianity
itself. Churches, priests, crosses all were the first objects of
Turkish atrocities. Nothing ever happened after this holocaust. No
Nuremberg Trials. No `Schindler’s List.’ No `Diary of Anne Frank.’

There cannot be too many descriptions of the very genuine moral and
physical horror of the Holocaust, but each dead soul murdered in the
Killing Fields or the barren fields of the Ukraine or in cattle cars
leaving Poland and crammed with Polish families deserve equal memory
to mankind and to God.

Why not start with the first holocaust? Why not begin with that
calculated sadism which was the First Holocaust, the extermination in
the Twentieth Century of millions of Christians – primarily
Armenians, but also Greeks and others – while the world watched, then
forgot, then pretended never happened? That, Mr. Gibson, would be my
next film, if I were you.
