CNN Declares the Constitution Racist

In a discussion about Texas governor Rick Perry, CNN’s Rick Sanchez told Wayne Slater of the Dallas Morning News that “people of color” consider the Constitution — in particular the Tenth amendment — racist. Sanchez made his comment at 1:45 in the following video.

In essence, Sanchez said that if you believe that powers not granted to the federal government nor prohibited to the states by the Constitution are reserved to the states, you’re a racist. Sanchez’s remark is an obtuse reference to nullification, John C. Calhoun, and slavery.

In the 1840s and 1850s, the federal government tried to impose the Fugitive Slave Acts of 1793 and 1850 and school segregation through Brown v. Board of Education on the Southern states. It was argued that these measures were unconstitutional and that the states had the inherent power to prevent the federal government from enforcing them within their borders.

In response to the Alien and Sedition Acts in 1798, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison wrote the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions, which provide a classic statement in support of states’ rights. Jefferson and Madison declared the Union is a voluntary association of states, and if the federal government violates that voluntary association with unconstitutional laws the states have the right to nullify those laws. The states, they wrote, “are not united on the principle of unlimited submission to their general government” and “each party has an equal right to judge for itself, as well of infractions as of the mode and measure of redress.”

Nine states have passed resolutions reaffirming the principles of sovereignty under theConstitution and the 10th Amendment over the last year. The political opportunist Rick Perryexploited this trend last April at an anti-tax rally in Austin when he said Texans might get so fed up with the federal government they would want to leave the union. Democrats and other advocates of federal power over the states had a field day with Perry’s secession comment. “Talk of secession is an attack on our country. It can be nothing else. It is the ultimate anti-American statement,” declared Rep. Jim Dunnam of Waco.

Despite Mr. Dunnam’s contempt, a large number of Texans support the idea of states’ rights and even secession.

CNN and the corporate media have since used Perry’s comment as a lightning rod to portray constitutionalists as racist troglodytes. It is no mistake during the above clip CNN decided to show the consummate politician and opportunist Rick Perry parading around on horse back dressed in cowboy regalia. It underscores the stereotype of the white Southern massa lording over cotton field slaves. It reaffirms the racist narrative and attempts to drive people away from the sovereignty movement.

States’ rights as a not so subtle codeword for racism is now a corporate media talking point. In February, the teleprompter reader Chris Matthews at MSNBC compared Texan political candidate Debra Medina to John Calhoun after she defended the principles of interposition and nullification in response to the encroachments of the federal government.

None of this is accidental. It is imperative that the establishment attack the Constitution and the Bill of Rights if they are going to realize the globalist plan to merge our once proud constitutional republic into a world government. In addition to portraying the Constitution as a racist manifesto, they are attempting to criminalize the Tea Party and take down its political candidates.

The activist listeners who support the Alex Jones Show have once again boosted a term into thetop of Google’s Trends. “Machete race war” was the number one ‘hot trend’ search for September 5, raising awareness of the criticism against the racist film that opened this past weekend. Critique of the film was further boosted by a synergistic link covering the ‘lies about the racist bloodbath’ contained within on the Drudge Report, the most widely read Internet-based news resource. Drudge also linked to Kurt Nimmo’s article, “Globalist Soros Launches Frontal Assault Against Tea Party.”

‘Machete’ producers lied about racist bloodbath

Sunday, September 5, 2010

‘Machete’ reached the #3 spot at the box office opening weekend. But after viewing the film, it is clear that its producers lied about the extent of the film’s racial message, which includes vulgar atrocities, including the killing of a pregnant woman attempting to cross the border during one of the opening scenes. This deception about the film’s message could bring its tax incentives, worth millions in production costs, into question.

When Alex Jones expressed concern in May that a leaked script portrayed white characters as vehemently racist and wantonly murderous, or that a Latino mob is roused to take on border vigilantes in racial conflict, director Rodriguez assured Ain’t It Cool News, that he’d ‘had too much tequila,’ and that those types of scenes wouldn’t make it to the final edited version. Producer Elizabeth Avellan went on the attack just before the release, defending the tax incentives ‘Machete’ had practically already been assured. Avellan denounced the ‘uproar over the film’ as “unfounded and unnecessary,” stating there was ‘no reason for a denial of incentives’:

“A lot of people made up a lot of stuff in terms of what the movie is about and who the bad guy is,” she said. “There were a lot of things that people misconstrued … without even knowing the script and pretending they have a script.”

Now there is no doubt. Everything Jones quoted from the script was on screen in one form or another– and its tone was clear: opposition to illegal immigration is tantamount to murder, white racism and vile Machiavellian scheming. One scene that was excised from the script repeated the one-sided demonization of the Freedom Force vigilantes, who were to murder a young child on the border at the end. However, that ending was left behind for a different sequence altogether.

Reviewers like ‘Big Hollywood’ panned the film as ‘Dull, Convoluted, Racist and Anti-American,’criticizing that: “’Machete’ offers no middle ground, no reasonable, non-racist position against wide open borders for those fleeing from what one character describes as the “personal hell” that is Mexico.”

Who the illegals fight against on screen is one thing. What their words mean is altogether something else. That’s the shell game Rodriguez plays and his racially divisive messaging goes way beyond the normal cinematic political posturing and button-pushing. And you will never see a more stereotypically racist portrayal of Southerners, who, in an obvious reference to the border Minute Men, are not only played for cheap laughs but portrayed as sub-human animals who hunt and murder illegals – kill a helpless pregnant woman and say “Welcome to America.”

Rodriguez & crew played everyone as fools, knowing full well what the film would contain. Does Texas want to subsidize the films of Robert Rodriguez and continue to give him a platform to spew divisive racially-tinted trash oriented at Hispanics and attempting to radicalize their views? Rodriguez is the face of the Texas Film Commission’s tax incentives program, and has been virtually guaranteed up to $60 million in rebate funding for a package of films.

Will ‘Machete’ release spark racial violence?

September 1, 2010

With the violent and racially-charged film ‘Machete’ about to hit theaters Friday, Alex Jones has once again questioned the film’s potential to heighten tensions in the immigration debate or even fuel riots or attacks. Though the production crew has downplayed fears of a ‘race war’ message, recent sightings of bloody ‘Machete’ promo posters plastered throughout Latin America suggest that this violent film may still stir controversy and strong reactions.

We only hope director Robert Rodriguez and his production crew have thought carefully about what they are putting out on the big screen.

The image of a bloody machete in a clenched fist, now plastered across the Latin American world to promote ‘Machete’– spotted recently by a listener in Puerto Rico– holds a double meaning. “Todos con Machete” is more than just a rally cry to join the hero of this Mexploitation film; the machete is the common symbol for peasant uprising in Mexico, Central and South America– the weapon of a disarmed population.

The image of a bloody machete in a clenched fist now plastered across the Latin American world to promote ‘Machete’– spotted recently by a listener in Puerto Rico — holds a double meaning. "Todos con Machete" is more than just a rally cry to join the hero of this Mexploitation film; the machete is the common symbol for peasant uprising in Mexico, Central and South America– the weapon of a disarmed population.

The justified anger evoked by the “machete” is then fueled into the film’s “war” on immigration, as the crazed patriot senator played by Robert DeNiro declares, and Machete’s pursuit of revenge killing. In reality, the imagery this film puts forward plays into the hands of the globalists who are using “pressure populations” like the underprivileged of Latin America to neutralize the sovereignty of the United States andamalgamate the region into the North American Union and larger world government.

The message of ‘Machete’ became politicized back in May shortly after director Robert Rodriguez leaked a trailer with a special “message to Arizona” that stirred fierce debate about the film. Rodriguez backed off of the fiery rhetoric however, after scenes from the script and warnings from Hispanic members of the film’s crew confirmed its overt racial overtones and prejudiced violence. Rodriguez told Ain’t It Cool News that he simply had ‘too much tequila‘ and that many of the most controversial scenes would be cut. We hope this will prove true in the final edit premiering Sept. 3.

Nevertheless, many dubious statements have been issued from the ‘Machete’ camp. Producer Elizabeth Avellan told the Austin American-Statesman Saturday that:

“There were a lot of things that people misconstrued… without even knowing the script and pretending they have a script.”

The reference was clearly to Jones, who issued a video response to the very real script given to him in May by a high level source within the production team. Rodriguez himself admitted the quoted scenes were authentic, but claimed it was not from a final draft. Alex Jones told the Statesman that he doesn’t mind Rodriguez having cinematic freedom, but objects to the portrayal of white people as a “bunch of blood-thirsty, foaming-at-the-mouth killers,” adding that it “reflects bad on Texas.”

Early ‘Machete’ reviews, however, suggest the film maintains its political fury. In an exposé titled, “How ‘Machete’ Inflames Immigration Debate,” The Hollywood Reporteraccuses the film of ‘skewering’ the notorious Sheriff Joe Arpaio in a particularly nasty near-likeness, wherein Don Johnson leads a band of murderous border vigilantes who shoot illegals on sight:

“Among ‘Machete’s’ more provocative elements are border vigilantes led by Don Johnson as a kind of avatar for Maricopa County’s Sheriff Joe Arpaio and fake political ads for an incumbent senator whose platform is built on his ‘hard line against (inappropriate term)’ and a description of them as ‘parasites.’ That the two characters murder a pregnant Mexican woman to prevent her baby from being born in America and then shoot her distraught husband while uttering the line, ‘Welcome to America,’ underlines the point.”

Arpaio denied the likeness, but the larger portrayal is more than provoking; it’s backwards. It is border-area law enforcement like Arpaio and Sheriff Babeu in Pinal County whose lives have been threatened. The portrayal of border & law enforcement and volunteer minute men as murderous, vicious and heartless– as written in the script and according to screening reports– is wrong indeed. In reality, the violence at the border is carried out almost exclusively by the Mexican drug gangs, backed by CIA and Wall Street banks, who use desperate immigrants for drug mules or play them into the hands of kidnappers, extortionists or human trafficking.Mexico is collapsing, and border regions in Arizona have fallen to drug lord control. The 72 migrants from Central and South America murdered by Las Zetas drug members should be a stark reminder of where the violence is coming from.

Despite the controversy over the film’s message, Alex Jones, who lead early criticism of the film after learning what the script contained, has maintained that Rodriguez has a right to put out any film he wants.

“I support tax incentives for industry and for film and the arts,” Jones said. “Robert Rodriguez has a right to make any movie he wants. If he’s putting out this hardcore, race war film– if he’s releasing it the way the script states– I think it should get its funding, but they had better remove any controls off of any other films. If they let this go forward and give it funding but then block other things, it’s outrageous.”

The Texas Film Commission, a division of Governor Rick Perry’s office, has been criticized for its selective funding and rejection of certain projects. The film ‘Waco’ was rejected and its filmmakers were reportedly told not to apply for tax incentives because the commission allegedly objected to its depiction of the massacre at the Branch Davidian church in Waco in 1993. Now funding for ‘Machete’ could fall under greater scrutiny.

While Rodriguez maintains the blood-soaked film is just for fun, its violent scenes are not only ‘torn from the headlines’ but all too likely to provoke real hatred and animosity between different racial groups. We only hope the indicators of a divisive message prove overblown as its producers have reassured us over and over again.
