THE ULTIMATE PSYCHOLOGICAL OPERATION?
Esta película es maravillosa porque:
This movie is wonderful because:
1) Muestra el valor de la propaganda y cómo las narraciones audiovisuales anglosajonas son "Caballos de Troya" culturales.

2) Muestra la necesidad de crear propaganda audiovisual acorde a los intereses nacionales y latinoamericanos.
3) Nos hace preguntarnos si hay una campaña en contra del Perú.
Ejemplos de filmes que brevemente, muy velozmente, sugieren corruptos que visitan el Perú o la presencia de sectas asesinas al interior de las fronteras:
EL AVIADOR / THE AVIATOR (2004) [dirigida por MARTIN SCORSESE]
INDIANA JONES Y EL REINO DE LA CALAVERA DE CRISTAL / INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL (2008) [dirigida por STEVEN SPIELBERG y producida por GEORGE LUCAS, FRANK MARSHALL & KATHLEEN KENNEDY]
LA MOMIA 3 / THE MUMMY: TOMB OF THE DRAGON EMPEROR (2008) [dirigida por ROB COHEN]
CREPúSCULO / TWILIGHT (2008) [dirigida por CATHERINE HARDWICKE]
---
QUANTUM OF SOLACE (2008) [dirigida por MARC FORSTER]
Este filme en principio hubiese atacado la imagen del Perú. Intuitivamente, los pobladores evitaron que se retratara al país bajo un punto de vista poco favorable y se organizaron para recharazar la filmación. La producción se trasladó a Chile.
---
Como el mensaje es veloz y acumulativo, las afirmaciones se toman por verdaderas sin mayor contraste con otras fuentes. Las cuatro narraciones son de presupuesto respetable y tienen aspectos narrativos comunes que las hacen elegibles por asistentes a las salas de cine que se fijan en los protagonistas o en la acción.
Por ejemplo, tomemos el intercambio verbal entre "Howard Hughes" (LEONARDO DICAPRIO) y un senador estadounidense corrupto en EL AVIADOR (THE AVIATOR), dirigida por MARTIN SCORSESE:

"All I'm thinking about are the interests,
the needs of the American passenger.
That's just beautiful. What is that?
What is that? Is that a...?
Is that a yak?
- Some kind of a yak?
- No, that's a llama.
My wife picked that upwhen we were in Peru.
Son of a gun.
A real llama.
- From Peru?
- Yeah. From a year ago, I think it was...
- Yeah, it was about a year ago.
- Lunch is served, senator.
Good. Okay.
Come on, let's go have some lunch.
Now, did you...?
Did you actually get to see any llamas?
No, no. My wife just liked the painting.
It's an interesting animal.
I'll have to read up on those.
How do you spell that?
Like...? Like Fernando Lamas?
No, no. It's...
It's the animal, it's got two L's.
Here, come on, have a seat.
(...)
You know, Owen,
I'm still wondering one thing.
- What's that?
- The picture of the llama you got last year?
- Yeah.
- Where'd you sail from?
We didn't sail. We flew.
- You flew?
- Yeah.
Are you sure you want to do this, Owen?"
Esta conversacion resalta, claramente, que el senador estadounidense "corrupto" visita el Perú, lo cual transforma a nuestro país en destino de políticos corruptos a los ojos de los espectadores mundiales.
En el caso de INDIANA JONES Y EL REINO DE LA CALAVERA DE CRISTAL el estudio productor es LUCASFILM LTD..

"Fundados en 1926, Los Cuerpos de Entrenamiento de Oficiales de la Reserva Naval Estadounidense (NROTC) están diseñados para ofrecer a estudiantes universitarios seleccionados los cursos de Ciencia Naval requeridos para calificarlos para comisiones en la Reserva Naval Estadounidense. Inicialmente, unidades NROTC fueron fundadas en seis universidades estadounidenses. Al ser un gran éxito previamente a la Segunda Guerra Mundial, los programas NROTC fueron expandidos a universidades adicionales en todo lo largo de los Estados Unidos de Norteamérica. La unidad NROTC en la Universidad de California del Sur fue creada en 1940 y nuestro batallón "hermano" en la Universidad de California en Los Ángeles (UCLA) fue creado en 1938".
Established in 1926, the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC) is designed to offer selected college students the necessary Naval Science courses to qualify them for a commission in the United States Navy Reserve. Initially, NROTC Units were established at six Universities. Being a great success prior to World War II, the NROTC program was expanded to additional universities across the United States. The NROTC Unit at the University of Southern California was founded in 1940 and our “Sister” Battalion at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) was founded in 1938.

DALE POLLOCK describe este programa militar-academico en su libro SKYWALKING: THE LIFE AND FILMS OF GEORGE LUCAS (CAMINADOPORELCIELO: LA VIDA Y FILMES DE GEORGE LUCAS) del siguiente modo (pag. 67):

"Desde los 1940's, la Universidad de California del Sur (USC), había auspiciado un programa de entrenamiento para realizadores cinematográficos de la Marina. Los entrenados hombres de carrera enlistados para quiene la universidad era una buena excusa para admirar mujeres y beber cerveza. Los profesionales y estudiantes de la USC rechazaban a los hombres de la Marina debido a su aproximación a la realización cinematográfica carente de imaginación".

Es natural que un estudiante estadounidense de cine muy destacado como GEORGE LUCAS presente una imagen negativa del Perú en su filme de 2008, igual que otro alumno estadounidense muy destacado, MARTIN SCORSESE, presenta una imagen negativa del Perú en su filme de 2004. Y para demostrar cuán destacados eran, indico que la revista TIMES reprodujo sus nombres como muestra de "estudiantes de cine destacados" en su ejemplar del Viernes dos (2) de Febrero de 1968:

TIMES, 2 de Febrero de 1968. TRENDS: THE STUDENT MOVIE MAKERS.
Es curioso notar que en el texto aparecen los nombres de a) JOHN MILIUS (director y adicionalmente guionista junto a KEVIN REYNOLDS [su padre trabajaba para la FUERZA AEREA ESTADOUNIDENSE] del filme anticubano, antinicaraguense y antisoviético AMANERCER ROJO (RED DAWN) [version 1984] [la nueva versión de AMANECER ROJO de este 2010 es antichina] y de b) FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA, pues las tendencias de sus filmes son dignas de analisis político.
El artículo de TIMES menciona que un miembro del jurado del FESTIVAL NACIONAL DE CINE ESTUDIANTIL (NATIONAL STUDENT FILM FESTIVAL) fue IRVIN KERSHNER quien fue empleado del DEPARTAMENTO DE ESTADO ESTADOUNIDENSE (STATE DEPARTMENT) en Irán, y dirigió documentales para la USIA en Grecia, Irán y Turquía (en 1950) además de ser, con anterioridad, docente en la UNIVERSIDAD DE CALIFORNIA DEL SUR (UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA). Como dato adicional, algo nada sorprendente: trabajó para la FUERZA AEREA ESTADOUNIDENSE como "ingeniero de vuelo" en bombarderos B-52 durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
Naturalmente, asumimos que estas relaciones sociales militarizadas son coincidencias inspiradoras, como lo es el hecho de que un buen amigo de GEORGE LUCAS llamado GARY KURTZ, que produjo LA GUERRA DE LAS GALAXIAS, (STAR WARS), EL IMPERIO CONTRAATACA (THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK) y AMERICAN GRAFFITI habia tenido el hermoso puesto de "camarografo de guerra" (combat cameraman) y director de documentales como miembro de los MARINES ESTADOUNIDENSES. Aun mas agradablemente sorprendente, es que GARY KURTZ realizo su servicio militar (1966-1969) dentro de los ESTADOS UNIDOS DE NORTEAMERICA ("in country") [muy explicable seguramente porque era "objetor de conciencia" y los MARINES ESTADOUNIDENSES son tiernos, afectuosos y comprensivos, unos verdaderos caballeritos].
En el libro SKYWALKING: THE LIFE AND FILMS OF GEORGE LUCAS (CAMINADOPORELCIELO: LA VIDA Y FILMES DE GEORGE LUCAS), el autor, DALE POLLOCK, describe a GARY KURTZ del siguiente modo (pagina 110):
http://books.google.com/books?hl=es&id=G4A5djW95UsC&dq=gary+kurtz+corps&q=roger+corman#search_anchor
"El sirvió por cuatro años en una unidad de fotografía de los marines. Aunque el era un cuáquero y rehusó portar un arma. Kurtz era un hombre solemne, barbado, que hizo ver a Lucas como un extrovertido".
La versión del mismo Sr. KURTZ respecto de su periodo en las fuerzas armadas la encontramos en la siguiente entrevista:
http://movies.ign.com/articles/376/376873p1.html
'It was quite convoluted, actually ... '66 I think it was. It was at the height of the Vietnam War. I was drafted into the Marines, and I spent three years in the Marines as a cameraman, a director of documentaries – even though I was actually a conscientious objector and I never carried a weapon. I carried an empty pistol holster. I was just very lucky, actually, to come through unscathed. I had four or five close friends who were also cameramen who were killed.
That took a big chunk of time out, and I got out in '69, and Easy Rider came out in '69."
Vemos que se le atribuye cuatro años en las fuerzas armadas, él mismo declara tres y en la siguiente página de una empresa para la que trabaja se declaran dos años en los CUERPOS DE MARINA:
http://www.britonventures.com/directors_gary_kurtz.php
"Gary was drafted during the Vietnam War and spent two years as a documentary film-maker for the Marine Corps. He returned to LA and Produced Two Lane Backdrop for Universal and private eye thriller Chandler for MGM."

De lo que hay que estar absolutamente convencidos es que MARTIN SCORSESE siempre presenta una firme posición política, pues sus ataques a CHINA, tanto con declaraciones como con la película KUNDUN le valieron ser declarado indeseable en el hermoso país asiático. La Compañía Disney, financista de KUNDUN, saboteó la distribución y promoción de KUNDUN para proteger sus inversiones en CHINA.

LA MOMIA 3 / THE MUMMY: TOMB OF THE DRAGON EMPEROR (2008) [dirigida por ROB COHEN] termina con un letrero en el que se indica que se descubrieron momias en el Perú luego de que uno de los personajes emprende su visita a nuestro territorio, precisamente porque se supone que no existen momias. Naturalmente, en el filme las momias se vinculan a esqueletos que cobran vida, a rituales de magia negra, a asesinatos terribles, a matanzas gigantescas... con lo que se sugiere que eso es lo que se puede esperar que suceda en estas tierras.
El director, ROB COHEN es el encargado de dirigir esa afectuosa pieza de propaganda llamada STEALTH (LA AMENAZA INVISIBLE).
GEORGE LUCAS y ROB COHEN, en uno de los documentales de EPISODIO III, edición DVD de dos discos vendida en Lima, aparecen sentados en el estudio de filmación de la tercera parte de "LA GUERRA DE LAS GALAXIAS" comentando el conjunto de pantallas de plasma utilizado por GEORGE LUCAS para apreciar lo filmado. ROB COHEN le dice a GEORGE LUCAS "te envidio". Interesante que sean colaboradores tan cercanos.
"THX 1138 (1971) was based on Lucas's earlier short movie Electronic Labyrinth THX 1138 4EB (1967) that told the tale of a man trying to escape from a totalitarian future society. Lucas had used a lot of ingenuity to get the short film made, using a Navy and Marine class he was teaching about film to shoot the project. It attracted a lot of attention when it was screened at film festivals."

"After graduating in 1966, and exempted from military service, Lucas was unsure of his next move, and took a series of jobs around L.A. One was as an assistant grip for the U.S. Information Agency (USIA), which was cranking out propaganda films as the country was heading into war.12 Other USC students were doing odd jobs in the agency. Bob Dalva,13 a classmate of Lucas’, was assisting on a documentary about President Lyndon Johnson; it was being edited by Verna Fields. Fields was a true insider in Hollywood; she was very cool, and one of the few women in the business. She needed additional help for her Johnson documentary, and Bob Dalva recommended Lucas."
Paginas 19-20. Verna Fields. Y es natural que los estudiantes realicen labores de inteligencia:
"By 1965, with her interest in political issues, she began editing projects for a few government agencies in the Eisenhower administration, including the USIA. While maintaining her projects with the government, she accepted a one-year position teaching film at USC.
“I had this footage of unmarked airports for a USIA film, Journey to the Pacific, so I hired all these kids from USC to find out where these airports were.”
Pagina 20:
"Fields hired Lucas in January 1967, just as he was starting the USC graduate program in film.
The faculty at USC had been sufficiently impressed with Lucas’ undergraduate films to give him a position teaching a lighting seminar for Navy film students. He taught the course at night and worked for Verna Fields at the USIA all day."
(...)
"For Lucas’ next film project, he started with a short script by Matthew Robbins and Walter Murch about a man escaping from an underground realm and finally emerging from a manhole cover. It was called “Breakout.”
Lucas refined the idea; he called the film THX 1138: 3EB. (He spoke of THX as “Thex”) The story was surreal, cryptic, composed almost entirely of a man running through twisting corridors, escaping the robotic police of the dystopic future. Although USC film students didn’t have access to color film, the Navy guys in the night course did. Lucas used the class he taught to execute his project. It took twelve weeks to shoot and edit."

En las descripciones se pasa por alto que en el filme, se observa MUY CLARAMENTE, en la pantalla de una computadora, la frase DEMONS OF THE NIGHT ORIGINS AND CHAR y los nombres de CHINA EGYP INDIA PERU PACIFIC NORTHWEST JAPAN y las letras SOUT. El personaje femenino (BELLA) presiona con el cursor de la computadora sucesivamente sobre los nombres EGYPT, INDIA y PERU.
Cuando presiona sobre la palabra PERU aparece una imagen espantosa de cuatro seres que sujetan a un quinto y lo someten, al parecer, a un sacrificio. Es esta imagen, que se relaciona usualmente con los materiales utilizados por las ciencias sociales, la que sugiere que en el Perú se atenta contra los derechos humanos lo cual es, obviamente, absurdo. Por tanto, tenemos que preguntarnos ¿a quién le interesa mancillar la imagen internacional de la gloriosa República del Perú?
Para que los lectores observen que como SECRETARIO GENERAL EMPERADOR del PARTIDO MARXISTA-LENINISTA-PENSAMIENTO PARIS HILTON, soy capaz de someterme a la autocrítica, me imagino que a algunos pocos lectores les gustaría decir algo así como: "Ahora nos vas a decir que la escritora de CREPÚSCULO (TWILIGHT) trabaja para alguna agencia de inteligencia estadounidense o anglosajona...".
A lo anterior, sólo puedo contestar con una carcajada porque pareciese que los lectores (siempre geniales), leen mis pensamientos... . Precisamente, yo tenía intención de afirmar algo parecido: la escritora DEL GUIÓN DE CREPÚSCULO (TWILIGHT) escribió guiones de la serie de televisión LA AGENCIA (THE AGENCY) que trata sobre la AGENCIA CENTRAL DE INTELIGENCIA ESTADOUNIDENSE (CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY).
La escritora DEL GUIÓN de la película se llama MELISSA ROSENBERG.
Si nos dirigimos a esta página web:
y la examinamos brevemente, podemos observar que en la PRIMERA TEMPORADA (SEASON ONE) de LA AGENCIA (THE AGENCY), se da lo siguiente:
Episodio 3: El Año de Contar Mentiras Peligrosamente (The Year Of Lying Dangerously)

Llegados a este punto tenemos que ligar esas imágenes terribles que se presentan de la República del Perú en las películas foráneas y vincularlas a los acontecimientos políticos del año 2009, en particular a los acontecimientos en la selva peruana, que luego de ocurridos parecieron tratados en el filme AVATAR, que recibió un apoyo publicitario descomunal. Si ligamos estas películas del 2008 con la película del año 2009, pareciese que se intenta convencer a la opinión pública mundial de la presencia de grandes actos de brutalidad en la República del Perú. La pregunta clave es
A) ¿con qué fin o fines se intenta indisponer a la opinión publica mundial contra la vida social en el Perú?.
B) ¿Es tal vez con la finalidad de imponer presiones políticas al Gobierno Peruano que parezcan creíbles?.
C) ¿Es para asegurar, utilizando "levantamientos" prefabricados/programados, el aislamiento de ciertas áreas del territorio peruano que se desean dedicar a fines propios ?.
Aunque estas especulaciones puedan parecer carentes de sustento en un primer momento, hay que recordar que es así, precisamente como se organiza el gran teatro de los acontecimientos mundiales. Basta recordar que en el "Templo de Chavín" se utilizaban cabezas clavas para intimidar a los curiosos. Generar una amenaza falsa, reforzarla con propaganda antes y después de un acontecimiento clave, y explotar todo el suceso políticamente, es una manera de actuar muy frecuente en la vida de la sociedad. Lo verdaderamente extraño sería que tal costumbre se hubiese dejado de lado.
Adicionalmente, tendríamos que examinar el panorama académico foráneo e identificar a los "científicos sociales" que pretenden dar validez a los "actos de brutalidad en Bagua". Seguramente, un análisis de las filiaciones de esos "estudiosos" de la vida social (sociólogos, arqueólogos, antropólogos) nos depararían deliciosas satisfacciones intelectuales y sólo verificaríamos la extensión del paisaje paranoico que se sugiere en estas líneas.
Vemos pues, que el filme EL ORIGEN (INCEPTION), nos permite reflexionar sobre los mecanismos sutiles mediante los cuales las ideas que generan nuestra motivación llegan al interior de nuestra conciencia. En una sociedad sometida a la reproducción industrial de mensajes, las insinuaciones sobre lo que debemos creer y esperar de los acontecimientos comunales nos llega oblicuamente en las más "inocentes películas de entretenimiento". Es prudente (por motivos de seguridad nacional) que seamos conscientes de todos los mensajes propagandísticos que, siendo producidos fuera de las fronteras nacionales, intentan delinear los patrones culturales de nuestro entorno, guiar nuestras percepciones y determinar nuestras experiencias subjetivas para encaminar nuestra conducta hacia fines ajenos a nuestros intereses patrióticos.

4) Los productores y creadores parecen fanáticos seguidores de DON LEÓNIDAS ZEGARRA UCEDA.
Por este motivo le concedemos una posición entre LOS MEJORES ESTRENOS 2010 EN EL PERÚ (BEST MOVIES 2010 IN PERU).
DON LEÓNIDAS ZEGARRA UCEDA (a la izquierda de la imagen): narrador audiovisual paradigmático. Este cineasta extraordinario es el gestor del filme peruano más importante del siglo XX: "DE NUEVO A LA VIDA". Todo lo que hay de bueno, noble y verdadero en la cinematografía peruana está concretizado en este productor, guionista y director cuyas obras magistrales merecen los honores más altos entre las piezas del séptimo arte desarrolladas en el Perú e Iberoamérica. Al centro de la imagen podemos apreciar a la productora general y actriz (de personalidad y belleza deslumbrantes) MARIANA LIQUITAYA, de nacionalidad boliviana, cuyo personaje es fundamental en el filme de culto "300 MILLAS EN BUSCA DE MAMá". En el lado derecho de la imagen tenemos a un cineasta boliviano extraordinario: ANTONIO EGUINO. Como se observa, los genios del séptimo arte tienden a relacionarse entre sí.
VIDAS PARALELAS: maravilloso filme peruano de propaganda del que solamente pueden escribirse halagos inconmensurables para sus creadores. El formato en DVD seguramente ha de aparecer pronto para delicia de todos los espectadores que sienten afecto por su Patria.

LA CIA Y LA GUERRA FRíA CULTURAL. Título original: WHO PAID THE PIPER? THE CIA AND THE CULTURAL COLD WAR (¿QUIéN LE PAGó AL FLAUTISTA? LA CIA Y LA GUERRA FRíA CULTURAL). Editorial DEBATE, Madrid, primera edición: octubre 2001, 639 páginas. Páginas 396,397: "Hopper y Parsons, aunque tal vez no lo supieran, eran "libertistas militantes", frase que se refería a una campaña secreta por parte del Pentágono, la Marina y el Consejo de Seguridad Nacional y del Consejo de Coordinación de Operaciones, para incluir el tema de la "libertad" en las películas americanas. El viernes 16 de diciembre de 1955, se convocó una reunión secreta por parte de los jefes del Estado Mayor Conjunto para discutir cómo Hollywood podía aprovechar la idea de la operación "Militant Liberty". Según un informe alto secreto, "Militant Liberty" estaba pensada para "explicar en palabras sencillas las verdaderas condiciones que se dan bajo el comunismo y explicar los principios en que se fundamenta la forma de vida del mundo libre", y "despertar a las personas libres para que comprendan la magnitud del peligro con se enfrenta el mundo libre; y, por último, generar una motivación para combatir esta amenaza". "La idea era crear un slogan, una frase política pegadiza que casi todo el mundo creyera que había surgido espontáneamente pero que, en realidad, hubiese sido introducida intencionalmente en la cultura", explicaba el historiador de la cultura Christopher Simpson. "Para aquella época se trató de una operación propagandística de gran perfección". Como base de una campaña doctrinal, Militant Liberty fue aprobada en los más altos estamentos. Pero hasta el año siguiente el Pentágono no halló una fórmula concreta mediante la cual lanzar el mensaje. En junio y julio de 1956, representantes del Estado Mayor Conjunto tuvieron varias reuniones en California con un nutrido grupo de figuras de Hollywood dedicadas a erradicar el comunismo: John Ford, Merian Cooper, John Wayne y Ward Bond. / Las reuniones que tuvieron lugar en el despacho de John Ford en la MGM, llegaban a durar seis horas. Según un informe interno de 5 de julio de 1956, "Mr. Wayne dijo que en sus películas, las producidas por él (BacJac Productions), el programa [de Militant Liberty] sería introducido con la máxima atención". Para ver cómo se podría hacer, a la noche siguiente, Wayne invitó a todo el mundo a su casa en 4570 Luoise Avenue, Encino. "Después de la cena se proyectaron las películas They Were Expendable y El Hombre Tranquilo
y fueron estudiadas por Mr. Wayne y Mr. Ford para ver la forma en que se había introducido un punto de vista favorable a la Marina y a los patrones culturales del mundo libre en ambos filmes"".

"Arguably her most controversial material is the evidence she has unearthed indicating that the CIA was an active component in the machinery that promoted Abstract Expressionism, the dominating Western art form of the 1950s. Saunders goes a few steps further than others who have written on this subject by suggesting that the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York under the tutelage of its president, Nelson Rockefeller, was the agency's front organization."

The Hollywood War Machine: U.S. Militarism and Popular Culture
* Carl Boggs
* Tom Pollard
Description
In this unique book, the authors provide a hard-hitting, radical critique of the growing culture of American militarism, focusing on the post–Cold War years. Analyzed in historical context and drawing on a broad mix of theoretical, political, and cultural sources, The Hollywood War Machine explores the U.S. film industry and its deepening impact on the popular and political culture. Through the lens of filmmakers like Steven Spielberg, Michael Bay, Jonathan Mostrow, Edward Zwick, Tony Scott, and John Woo, the volume deconstructs the narratives and images of nearly 200 combat and war-related movies, along with related consumer fare such as television and video games, in the context of the permanent war economy, security state, recurrent military interventions abroad, and the expansion of U.S. global power. Topics include cinematic representations of terrorism, the return of “good war” motifs, the phenomenon of disguised militarism, the relationship between cinema and technowar, depictions of the Gulf War and the current war in Iraq, and general media spectacles of warfare as well as unique perspectives on films related to World War II, the Cold War, and Vietnam.

The Entertainment Industry's Dystopia of the Future
Commentary by Richard Esguerra
April 14th, 2010
http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2010/04/entertainment-industrys-dystopia-future
"Federal agents working on Hollywood's clock
The planned release of a blockbuster motion picture should be acknowledged as an event that attracts the focused efforts of copyright thieves, who will seek to obtain and distribute pre-release versions and/or to undermine legitimate release by unauthorized distribution through other channels. Enforcement agencies (notably within DOJ and DHS) should plan a similarly focused preventive and responsive strategy. An interagency task force should work with industry to coordinate and make advance plans to try to interdict these most damaging forms of copyright theft, and to react swiftly with enforcement actions where necessary.
This is perhaps the most revealing of the proposals: big Hollywood studios deputizing the FBI and Department of Homeland Security to provide taxpayer-supported muscle for summer blockbuster films. Jokes have been made about SWAT team raids on stereotypical file-sharers in college dorm rooms — but this entertainment industry request to "interdict...and to react swiftly with enforcement actions" brings that joke ridiculously close to reality. "
FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION
WASHINGTON FIELD OFFICE (WFO)
Working with the Office of Public Affairs
http://washingtondc.fbi.gov/opa.htm
The Office of Public Affairs in the Washington Field Office (WFO) supports the FBI’s operational priorities by facilitating publicity that encourages helpful public action and that increases public awareness to prevent or solve acts of terrorism or crimes. It also coordinates and develops relationships with the news media and with the publishing, motion picture, television, radio and entertainment industries to promote Bureau accomplishments and ensure that depictions of the FBI are accurate and factual in regard to our policies and practice.

FBI 101
“LOCK UP THE DATE!” the invitation commanded — clear evidence that at least someone in the bowels of the federal bureaucracy has a sneaky sense of humor. The event in question — “FBI 101” — promised “Essentials for Writers,” an “exciting and informative” interactive workshop for writers being offered to members of my union — the Writers Guild of America, East – by the FBI Office of Public Affairs and FBI New York.
In addition to the usual motley assemblage of scruffy WGAE ne’er-do-wells, attendees from the Bureau included experts in evidence response, crisis management, counterterrorism, and weapons of mass destruction, among other disciplines. The seminar’s stated purpose was to “learn how to accurately depict today’s FBI and how we can help you with your script or screenplay.”

Monsters, spys, and subversives

copyright Jump Cut: A Review of Contemporary Media, 1975, 2004
Movies which expressed the film industry’s recognition of and response to the cold war came in a variety of forms and guises, which can be grouped together under four general headings. Common to all the films regardless of category was intense chauvinism coupled with strident anti-communism, factors which a content analysis of various productions will show.

From Fact to Fiction
Giving Writers an Inside Look at the FBI
10/06/08
Imagine you’re a writer working on a film or television script about the FBI, but you really know very little about us beyond what you’ve seen in other movies or TV shows.
What do you do? For decades, you’ve been picking up the phone and calling us. Every year, in fact, we get calls from hundreds of writers, directors, and producers seeking our advice and guidance.
We are happy to help, because we understand that the entertainment industry plays a key role in educating the public about our mission to keep the nation safe from terrorists and criminals. And we know that the more educated people are about the Bureau, the more likely they will help us solve—and prevent—crimes and terror attacks.
Any writer or producer can ask about our procedures, our history, and our cases in the public domain. They are not required to consult with us, though, and we don’t edit or approve their work. As a result, some story lines about the FBI are relatively accurate, while others, well, not so much.

American films abroad: Hollywood's domination of the world's movie screens ...
Escrito por Kerry Segrave
Preface:
This book traces the history of American films abroad from the late 1890s to 1995, concentrating on how the U.S. industry came to control the world's film screens and how it maintained that domination. Emphasis is on the cartel formed by the eight major Hollywood studios - its leadership, its philosophy, its block booking practices, its control over both the exhibition and the distribution sectors and its relationship with the government deparments of State and Commerce. While the cartel has long proclaimed that the industry functions without government subsidy, it has received massive indirec goverment aid in various ways. This book tells how other nations have tried to fight U.S. domination over the years and how the cartel has responded.

DoD, USO Pay Tribute to Film Industry
By Linda D. Kozaryn
American Forces Press Service
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Dec. 4, 2000
– Military entertainers took the spotlight here in late November, turning the tables on some of the Hollywood stars who've entertained America's troops for nearly 60 years.
DoD and the USO joined forces to host a military concert Nov. 30 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. Defense Secretary William S. Cohen, his wife, Janet Langhart Cohen, and United Services Organization President retired Army Gen. John H. Tilelli paid tribute to the Hollywood film industry.
Johnny W. Grant, ceremonial mayor of Hollywood and veteran of 54 USO shows, served as master of ceremonies. "In six decades, literally hundreds, perhaps thousands, of professional entertainers have generously shared their talents with our GIs," he said.

Hello Troops
It's been my very good fortune to meet so many of you, the men and women in uniform serving our country. I've seen first hand the great work you do all around the world under dangerous and often very challenging conditions. I'm extremely grateful for the sacrifices you and your families make every day to keep America safe.
I've come across many other people in show business who also support you. Quietly appreciate the admirable reasons you volunteered and the ideals you uphold. And that's what Letters From Hollywood is all about. Giving some of these folks a way to reach you.
Every week, you're going to hear from a different person. Actors, writers, directors, technicians. Patriots. People who GET what you do. And want to say thanks. Because what you're doing deserves it.

Presentation of Civilian Patriot Award to Jack Valenti, President of the Motion Picture Association of America
Remarks as Delivered by Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen, Beverly Hilton Hotel, Beverly Hills, California, Thursday, November 30, 2000
(...)
I would like to take this evening to express our thanks to all the members of the armed forces who are with us, including our dedicated military liaisons. They serve as the bridge between Washington and Hollywood, and I’d like to have them stand as we say thanks to you as well. [Applause.]
(...)
The film industry plays a critical role. On the way in, a number of the television reporters were asking us, "Why are you doing this? Why are you here in Hollywood?" Well, Hollywood has played a role in the security of this country throughout our history. If you go back to World War I, it was the movie star celebrities who were helping to push those Liberty Bonds. If you look at World War II, many of the celebrities were raising over $1 billion to support that war effort. And then there are the film clips that we have seen here tonight—Saving Private Ryan by Steven Spielberg, U-571, The Perfect Storm, [and] Top Gun that Jerry Bruckheimer produced earlier. And we are going to witness another movie produced by Jerry with Michael Day, Pearl Harbor, coming out on Memorial Day. And, of course, there’s another great tribute to our military by Cuba Gooding, Jr. in Men of Honor.
The film industry is important in shaping what people think about our military and supporting them, and we wanted to be here to say something to Hollywood you don’t hear very often, and that’s "Thank you." Thank you for all that you do in portraying the men and women who serve us, their patriotism, their courage, their sense of honor. On behalf of all of us, we in the Pentagon want to say thank you to Hollywood. [Applause.]
(...)
We are celebrating a patriot in Jack Valenti. He is a veteran who flew 50 combat missions over Italy in World War II, who went on to public service in the White House with President Johnson, who has continued his service to this film industry but also to this country. And you know that he’s a man of great language and literature and passion and commitment. He has been a strong advocate on behalf of the men and women who are serving us in the military. So if we’re looking for a citizen patriot, at the very top of the list we take Jack Valenti for all that he represents.

U.S.O. HISTORY
In 1941, the U.S. Army made a plea for entertainment for troops preparing for the war in training camps around the country. The Citizens Committee for the Army and Navy responded and, in May1941, sent out seven traveling show buses, bringing entertainment to service men in Army camps east of the Rockies.
Meanwhile, a Hollywood committee financed by agents and producers, and with the cooperation of the Screen Actors Guild, put on several large shows at military camps in California. But the demand for entertainment continued to increase.
Later that year, the Citizens Committee for the Army and Navy, the USO and show business representatives met to come up with a solution. The result was USO Camp Shows, Inc., officially launched Oct. 30, 1941, as a separate corporation affiliated with and supported by the USO. USO Camp Shows, Inc., was designated by the War and Navy Departments as the ”Official Entertainer” of the men and women of the armed forces. The USO’s tradition of bringing entertainment to service members around the world was born.
During the peak of action in 1945, USO Camp Shows were presenting 700 shows a day, with more than 300,000 performances overseas and in the United States, to an audience totaling more than 173 million. From 1941 to 1947, more than 7,000 performers put on 428,521 shows of all kinds. The entertainers included stars of screen, stage, radio and the concert stage, as well as vaudevillians and “unknown” entertainers who wanted to show their support for the troops.

Empire
Hollywood and the war machine
Empire examines the symbiotic relationship between the movie industry and the military-industrial complex.
War is hell, but for Hollywood it has been a Godsend, providing the perfect dramatic setting against which courageous heroes win the hearts and minds of the movie going public.
The Pentagon recognises the power of these celluloid dreams and encourages Hollywood to create heroic myths; to rewrite history to suit its own strategy and as a recruiting tool to provide a steady flow of willing young patriots for its wars.
What does Hollywood get out of this 'deal with the devil'? Access to billions of dollars worth of military kit, from helicopters to aircraft carriers, enabling filmmakers to make bigger and more spectacular battle scenes, which in turn generate more box office revenue. Providing they accept the Pentagon's advice, even toe the party line and show the US military in a positive light.
So is it a case of art imitating life, or a sinister force using art to influence life and death - and the public perception of both?
Empire will examine Hollywood, the Pentagon, and war.
Joining us as guests: Oliver Stone, the eight times Academy Award-winning filmmaker; Michael Moore, the Academy Award-winning filmmaker; and Christopher Hedges, an author and the former Middle East bureau chief of the New York Times.
Our interviewees this week are: Phil Strub, US Department of Defense Film Liaison Unit; Julian Barnes, Pentagon correspondent, LA Times; David Robb, the author of Operation Hollywood; Prof Klaus Dodds, the author of Screening Terror; Matthew Alford, the author of Reel Power; Prof Melani McAlister, the author of Culture, Media, and US Interests in the Middle East.
This episode of Empire can be seen from Wednesday, December 22 at the follwing times GMT: Wednesday: 1900; Thursday: 1400; Friday: 0300; Saturday: 1900.

"The production of The Longest Day depended on cooperation from four governments and four militaries to accurately re-present D-Day. As Cornelius Ryan himself predicted, the film's view of D-Day will never be matched because in future years the equipment used on both sides will not be available (Ryan to Crouch). Working with four militaries involved intricate negotiations, with Zanuck constantly assuring each of them that the others were firmly supportive of his plans. Zanuck was in a strong position as a World War II veteran who was on a first-name basis with many high-ranking American, British, and French officers. Also, Twentieth Century-Fox had a positive and mutually beneficial relationship with the US Department of Defense. Fox's main liaison with the DOD was Frank McCarthy, later the producer of Patton, who had been an assistant to General George C. Marshall during World War II. For The Longest Day, Zanuck launched his bid for American cooperation by contacting General Lauris Norstad, the American commander of NATO, rather than going through channels in Washington (Norstad to Sylvester). This caused some resentment within the Department of Defense but also showed that Zanuck had a powerful patron. Substantial cooperation was granted by DOD, including the use of consultants, equipment, and soldiers as well as permission to film a US Navy exercise off Corsica (Norstad to Secretary of Defense)."

Reel Bad Arabs: How Hollywood Vilifies a People
"SYNOPSIS
This groundbreaking documentary dissects a slanderous aspect of cinematic history that has run virtually unchallenged from the earliest days of silent film to today's biggest Hollywood blockbusters. Featuring acclaimed author Dr. Jack Shaheen, the film explores a long line of degrading images of Arabs--from Bedouin bandits and submissive maidens to sinister sheikhs and gun-wielding "terrorists"--along the way offering devastating insights into the origin of these stereotypic images, their development at key points in US history, and why they matter so much today.
Shaheen shows how the persistence of these images over time has served to naturalize prejudicial attitudes toward Arabs and Arab culture, in the process reinforcing a narrow view of individual Arabs and the effects of specific US domestic and internationl policies on their lives. By inspiring critical thinking about the social, political, and basic human consequences of leaving these Hollywood caricatures unexamined, the film challenges viewers to recognize the urgent need for counter-narratives that do justice to the diversity and humanity of Arab people and the reality and richness of Arab history and culture."
ABOUT DR. JACK SHAHEEN
"Internationally acclaimed author and media critic, Dr. Jack G. Shaheen, is a committed internationalist and a devoted humanist. A Pittsburgh native and former CBS news consultant on Middle East Affairs, Shaheen’s lectures and writings illustrate that damaging racial and ethnic stereotypes of Asians, blacks, Native Americans and others injure innocent people. He defines crude caricatures, explains why they persist, and provides workable solutions to help shatter misperceptions."

Fighting For An Ideal America
Whether created by government or by corporations, the production-incentive posters conveyed social, economic, and political ideas through imagery. Throughout the war, the imagery on such posters celebrated the middle-class home, the traditional nuclear family, consumerism, and free enterprise.

Cameras Are Being Turned On a Once-Shy Spy Agency
By ELAINE SCIOLINO
A Look Back … Budd Schulberg: Documenting the Horrors of the Holocaust
https://www.cia.gov/news-information/featured-story-archive/budd-schulberg.html
Imagine having the opportunity to use your talent to bring to justice those who have committed horrifying crimes against humanity. Writer Budd Schulberg was presented with and seized such an opportunity when he served with the Field Photographic Branch of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) — the forerunner of today’s CIA — during World War II. Schulberg helped gather evidence of the atrocities committed in Nazi concentration camps to present during the Nuremberg trials.
A Hollywood Prince
Schulberg was born Seymour Wilson Schulberg on March 27, 1914 in New York City. He was the son of B.P. Schulberg, head of Paramount Pictures. Schulberg spent most of his childhood in Hollywood, surrounded by movie stars.
During his adolescence, Schulberg returned to the East Coast to attend school at Deerfield Academy and Dartmouth College. During his college years, Schulberg was actively involved with The Dartmouth — the college newspaper — and The Jack-O-Lantern humor magazine. Schulberg graduated in 1936.
Three years later, he returned to Dartmouth to work with author F. Scott Fitzgerald on a screenplay set during Dartmouth’s Winter Carnival. Schulberg later wrote about this experience in his novel, “The Disenchanted,” which was published in 1951.
Schulberg’s first novel and most famous work, “What Makes Sammy Run?” was published in 1941. The novel tells the story of Sammy Glick’s rise from copy boy at a newspaper to production chief at a major Hollywood studio. Glick’s ambitions lead him to betray and backstab his way to success. The book won high praise from critics, but was loathed by Hollywood. As a result, Schulberg was shunned by the film industry.
(CONTINUA...)
A Look Back … Budd Schulberg: Documenting the Horrors of the Holocaust (continuation)
Capturing the War on Film
With the start of World War II, Schulberg joined the Navy. He was assigned to the OSS, where he worked with Hollywood director John Ford’s documentary unit. Film had not been used extensively during a war before, but with the beginning of World War II, it became apparent that it could serve a number of purposes:
* Boost propaganda and morale,
* Train the troops,
* Provide intelligence, and
* Record historical events.
During his time serving with the Field Photographic Branch in Europe, Schulberg helped document U.S. combat operations from D-Day to the liberation of the concentration camps.
Following the surrender of Nazi Germany, Schulberg was among the first American servicemen to enter the concentration camps. During the summer and fall of 1945, he worked with the Office of the Military Government – United States (OMGUS) to confiscate film footage. OMGUS had an office whose primary responsibility was to gather films and books from archives and libraries as part of denazification.
The confiscated film footage served as evidence for the Nuremberg trials of the horrendous war crimes that were committed in the concentration camps. Schulberg and his colleagues in the Strategic Services Unit — what remained of the OSS after it was disbanded in September 1945 — worked through 10 million feet of film to gather and coordinate the necessary material. The end result was a four-hour documentary created using only original Nazi films. Schulberg was instrumental in producing the film, which was used as evidence during the Nuremberg trials.
Building a Legacy in Hollywood
After the war, Schulberg returned to Hollywood. In 1947, Schulberg published his novel, “The Harder They Fall,” which exposed corruption in the sport of boxing. The novel was made into movie starring Humphrey Bogart in 1955.
In 1951, Schulberg testified as a “friendly witness” before the House Un-American Activities Committee. Schulberg identified other Hollywood figures as members of the Communist Party USA. Schulberg joined the Communist Party in 1934 at the age of 20 and broke his ties with the party when Stalin agreed to a pact with Hitler in 1939.
In the early 1950s, Schulberg teamed up with director Elia Kazan to create “On the Waterfront,” which told exposed violence and corruption among longshoremen. The film was released in 1954 and won eight Academy Awards, including Best Screenplay.
In 1957, Schulberg worked with Kazan again to produce the film “A Face in the Crowd.” The film was adapted from one of Schulberg’s short stories about an aimless country singer’s rise and fall. In 2008, “A Face in the Crowd” was selected by the United States National Film Registry to be preserved as a “historically significant” film.
Throughout his life, Schulberg continued to write. In fact, he became the chief boxing correspondent for Sports Illustrated. Schulberg became such a well-known boxing authority that he was inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame in 2003.
Schulberg passed away on August 5, 2009 at his home in Westhampton Beach, New York. He was 95 years old.
A Look Back … Robert Carey Broughton: From Walt Disney to War Movies
https://www.cia.gov/news-information/featured-story-archive/robert-carey-broughton.html
What do Walt Disney Studios and the Office of Strategic Services—the predecessor of today’s CIA—have in common? Accomplished camera effects artist Robert Carey Broughton created award-winning films for both organizations.
From Math to Magic
Broughton was born on September 17, 1917, in Berkeley, California. He spent most of his childhood in Glendale, California, where he attended Glendale High School and Glendale Junior College. Broughton also attended the University of California, Los Angeles, where he studied chemistry, physics, math and optics.
In 1937, Broughton got a job at Walt Disney Studios delivering mail. It wasn’t long before he was pulled to work in the camera department. He started out as an assistant in the test camera department, where he worked on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Broughton’s job was to shoot the test camera to check for continuous action of the animation before finalizing the film.
Next, Broughton worked with the animation camera, which led to operating Disney’s famous multi-plane camera. It was used to create depth in animated featured films, including Pinocchio, Fantasia, Bambi, and many more.
Broughton was very involved with the production of Fantasia. His work on this film and his eye for detail earned him a promotion to camera department supervisor.
Filming the War
With the start of World War II, Broughton answered the call to service by joining the U.S. Army. He was assigned to the Field Photographic Branch of the OSS.
Film had not been used extensively during a war before, but with the beginning of World War II, it became apparent that it could serve a number of purposes:
* Boost propaganda and morale,
* Train the troops,
* Provide intelligence, and
* Record historical events.
During his time with the OSS, Broughton worked with Hollywood director John Ford to create documentary films about the war. Together, the two men produced The Battle of Midway, which won an Academy Award for best documentary in 1942. Broughton photographed most of the footage and Ford directed the film.
The OSS institutionalized using film in intelligence with the OSS Intelligence Photographic Documentation Project. Its purpose was to establish a worldwide photographic intelligence file of areas of strategic importance.
Creating Magic
After the War, Broughton returned to Disney as an assistant to legend Ub Iwerks—co-creator of Mickey Mouse. Under Iwerks, Broughton began to work on live-action motion pictures, such as Mary Poppins. He helped create the illusion that Dick Van Dyke was dancing with penguins by using Color Traveling Matte Composite Cinematography. This award-winning technology combined live action and animation on film.
In 1982—with 45 years of work at Disney under his belt—Broughton retired. He was known for his passion. Even after retiring, his enthusiasm lived on in his coordination of the retiree club, The Golden Ears.
Broughton was honored as a Disney Legend in 2001. This annual award honors an individual whose creativity and talent have contributed to producing magical films for children of all ages. Each Disney Legend receives an award cast in bronze and a plaque bearing their name, hand prints and signature at the Studios in California.
Broughton passed away on Monday, January 19, 2009. He was 91. Broughton is survived by two sons, five grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.

The Life and Work of Edward R. Murrow. An archives exhibit.
Murrow at the United States Information Agency (USIA) (1961 - 1964)
"In its overt and covert propaganda programs - the latter programs were more believable abroad because they were not identified with the U.S. government - USIA began to resemble certain CIA operations. In fact, USIA closely collaborated with the CIA.
Under Murrow's directorship, USIA projects came to reflect the two major theoretical underpinnings of Kennedy's presidency: modernization and counterinsurgency theories. USIA worked with the Business Council for International Understanding as well as with Alliance for Progress programs in Latin America. It became involved in not only counter-insurgency work, but also counter-insurgency (guerilla) courses taught at the Foreign Service Institute, at war colleges, and at the U.S. Army Special Warfare School at Fort Bragg, NC., among other locations. The agency also became involved in the events unfolding in Southeast Asia by helping with the propaganda work for the counterinsurgency in Northeast Thailand, and coordinating psychological war programs and chairing the Psychological Coordinating Committee in Laos and Vietnam. The USIA was also a member of the Counterinsurgency Committee/Special Group initiated by General Maxwell Taylor, and was responsible for planning covert actions. During these years USIA also sat on the interdepartmental Vietnam Taskforce. And for the first time in its history, USIA was involved in making propaganda for a foreign regime, namely president Ngo Dinh Diem's Republic of Vietnam in 1962.
When policy makers were discussing the use of defoliants (e.g. agent orange) to destroy vegetation cover for Vietnamese opponents in the Vietnam War, Murrow repeatedly warned against their use by the U.S. government. In the end, he reluctantly agreed to its initially quite limited use in 1962."

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Military simulations
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Lucasfilm Games developed a series of military vehicle simulation games, the first of which were the naval simulations PHM Pegasus in 1986 and Strike Fleet in 1987.[9] These two titles were published by Electronic Arts for a variety of computer platforms, including PC, Commodore 64 and Apple II.
In 1988, Battlehawks 1942 launched a trilogy of World War II air combat simulations, giving the player a chance to fly as an American or Japanese pilot in the Pacific Theater. Battlehawks 1942 was followed by Their Finest Hour: The Battle of Britain (1989), recreating the battle between the Luftwaffe and RAF for Britain's air supremacy. The trilogy ended with Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe in 1991, in which the player could choose to fly on either the American or German side. The trilogy was lauded for its historical accuracy and detailed supplementary material—Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe, for instance, was accompanied by a 224-page historical manual.
The World War II trilogy was created by a team led by Lawrence Holland, a game designer who later founded Totally Games. Totally Games would continue to develop games almost exclusively to LucasArts, the most noted outcome of the symbiosis being the X-Wing series. They were also responsible for LucasArts' 2003 return to the aerial battles of World War II with Secret Weapons Over Normandy, a title released on PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC."
