Media: Hollywood's "Giants" Make a Mockery of Truth

Propagandistically Speaking Proverbs 16:25 There is a way which seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death. Ed. Note: Typically covering anything to do with Hollywood or the entertainment industry is not the fair of Be Alert!, however in this case the violence being waged against truth by these so-called "enlightened" entertainers is too outrageous to not sound an alarm. These people are sadly deceived into blatent stupidity and only the mercy of and gospel of Christ can deliver them. BE/\LERT! Cameron's bag raises a few eyebrows UK PRESS ASSOCIATION - June 23, 2007 Actress Cameron Diaz appears to have committed a major fashion crime in Peru. The voice of Princess Fiona in the animated Shrek films may have inadvertently offended Peruvians. They suffered decades of violence from a Maoist guerrilla insurgency by touring there on Friday with a bag emblazoned with one of Mao Zedong's favourite political slogans. While she explored the Inca city of Machu Picchu high in Peru's Andes, Diaz wore over her shoulder an olive green messenger bag emblazoned with a red star and the words 'Serve the People' printed in Chinese on the flap, perhaps Chinese Communist leader Mao's most famous political slogan. While the bags are marketed as trendy fashion accessories in some world capitals, the phrase has particular resonance in Peru. The Maoist Shining Path insurgency took Peru to the edge of chaos in the 1980s and early 1990s with a campaign of massacres, assassinations and bombings. Nearly 70,000 people were killed during the insurgency. - - - - http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=paDiazsat08diazbag&show_article=1 Angelina Jolie's Freedom of Press, on Her Terms FOX NEWS - By Roger Friedman - June 14, 2007 Angelina Jolie's true colors came out Wednesday as she promoted a film about freedom of the press and then tried to censor all her interviews. Jolie is touting press freedom these days, playing the widow of murdered Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl in a new movie called "A Mighty Heart." But Jolie turns out to be a mighty hypocrite when it comes to her own freedom of the press. Her lawyer required all journalists to sign a contract before talking to her, and Jolie instructed publicists at first to ban FOX News from the red carpet of her premiere. - - - - http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,282173,00.html History's worst mass killer gets Hollywood makeover Man who slew 100 million people to have $60 million glam treatment WORLDNETDAILY - June 4, 2007 A man who is believed to have killed up to 100 million people in his life is to be the subject of a positive $60 million biographical film portrait, if a Hollywood producer gets his way. "Challenging Heaven" by Steven North will tell the story of the founding of Communist China with Mao Zedong in the role of George Washington. North is currently trying to romance Beijing into offering support for the project. "This is a very positive portrayal of Mao, and we are hoping that once the script clears the approval process, China will come forward with services and support," he said. - - - Though Mao, like fellow dictator Fidel Castro, is still romanticized to a degree in the West, most historians would agree he ranks at or very near the top of the worst mass murderers. About 70 million Chinese were killed or died as a result of his brutal reign. That figure does not include millions of Tibetans, Koreans and members of other ethnic groups and nationalities. In fact, the name of the Mao movie is significant. Mao once described himself as "without law and without heaven." Mao wrote: "I do not agree with the view that to be moral, the motive of one's actions has to be benefiting others. Morality does not have to be defined in relation to others. --- People like me want to --- satisfy our hearts to the full, and in doing so we automatically have the most valuable moral codes. Of course there are people and objects in the world, but they are all there only for me. --- People like me only have a duty to ourselves; we have no duty to other people." http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=56011 FAIR USE NOTICE: This blog contains copyrighted material the use of which has not always been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.
