A successful Tom Cruise movie generally involves sunglasses, gold chains, rock music, a toothy grin and some sort of motorized travel (jet, boat, motorcycle, helicopter). Not generally a fan since All the Right Moves, but this movie blew me away. Really, really, blew me away. Not because of hunky Tommy, not because it was a great ‘movie’, but because of the story it told! Anyone with half a brain doesn’t rely on the lamestream media for all their news (or any of it). As someone who has listened to conservative talk radio for over a quarter century, I haven’t heard it all, but I’ve heard a lot of it.

Bush family, cocaine smuggling, Bo Gritz, Jerome Corsi, Mena Airport, the Golden Triangle, guns for drugs, Contras. I just never thought it would all be told in a mainstream Hollywood movie. I suppose nearly 40 years after the fact they thought it would be safe. Reminds me a lot of Oliver Stone and JFK, only I don’t remember anyone rushing out to deny this one. People have no idea what our government is capable of.

I thought I was savvy to all this, not even close. The eyeopener for me was the fools the drug cartels made out of Reagan and the CIA. They weren’t arming “rebels” fighting a communist insurgency, they were providing drug cartels with the guns they needed. So they could beat the other cartels. A bunch of narcos played the US Government for fools.
