Substitute Donald Trump for Robert Forrest
I keep remembering an incident in Dec 2015 still beginning of
Trump’s campaign. I uploaded a video clip to my blog, a shaky screenshot of a four minute clip from the film Keeper
of the Flame because the dialogue about growing Fascism in 1943 seemed to be a warning about Donald Trump in 2015. (watch the clip on my Facebook page this date by clicking my name here: Kay Ebeling )
Within 11 hours, possibly sooner, the clip was taken down due a
complaint made to YouTube, which made me wonder. Do the people who own rights
to a 1943 film keep tabs on clips on YouTube and get them taken down
immediately? If so, why? They're still making money on a 1943 film?
Or, did Donald Trump have people, or 'bots, poised and ready to find Every Single
Thing being said about T on the internet and getting everything negative
removed, from the beginning of his campaign for President.
In Dec
2015 when I posted
the Keeper of Flame video clip, I checked in 11 hours later and found this message: "Due to a copyright claim, your YouTube video has been
blocked. Your video was manually reviewed by the copyright owner or someone on
behalf of the copyright owner."
And
I wrote on my blog: "I have a feeling the person who got this video removed had nothing to do with the 1943 production. A taste of what life will
be like if Trump gets elected”
Transcript of clip with Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy dialogue between Christine Forrest and Stephen O'Malley from Keeper of the Flame, 1943 (substitute Donald Trump for Robert Forrest)
CR: He grew to despise the people who worshiped him, all of us, me too, he felt that we were all beneath him. I didn't know what had happened. I, I, I suppose that I was a bit like that myself, once, I believed in a few people, rulers leaders.
But when Robert began to change, I saw the face of Fascism in my own home, hatred arrogance cruelty. I saw what German women were facing, I saw the enemy.
The night of the accident, I stole his keys, came in here and opened this, this is what I found, the key to Robert Forrest’s fascist organization, of course they didn't call it fascism, they painted it red white and blue and called it Americanism.

In here are the funds to see it through, fantastic amounts ascribed by a few private individuals to whom money didn't seem to mean anything anymore but who wanted political power. Knew they could never get it by democratic means. Here’s a list of their names.
This was the essence of their plan. Here are some articles ready for release to stir up all these little hatreds of the whole nation against each other. This was an article to be published in an antisemetic paper attacking the Jews. This was to be used in the Farmers Gazette to stir them up against the city dwellers. Here’s one attacking the Catholics. Anti-Negro, anti labor, anti trade union, subtle appeal to the Ku Klux Klan.
Here’s a- here’s a list of newspaper editors who either sought to occupy public office or sought to dictate who should occupy public office and when they failed, felt that the public was a great stupid beast.
Here’s a list of men who served their country in the last war and were failures in business and again longed for the power of rank and the prestige of the uniform. In there are the names and addresses of the men who were designated to be America’s first storm troopers.
But what was really shocking to me was the complete cynicism of the plan. Each of these groups was simply to be used until its usefulness was exhausted. Hates were to be played against hates, if one group threatened to get too powerful, it would be killed off by another group. And in the end, all these poor little people who never knew to what purpose they were lending themselves would be in the same chains, cowed and enslaved, with Robert Forrest and his handful of power thirsty henchmen cracking the whip.

SO: Robert Forrest. What happened to him?
CR: He changed. When I first married him, he was as much a part of this country as Lincoln himself. Rob loved our country, always for our team. Back in Europe, I felt what it meant to live in the Land of the Free. When I married Robert, I thought that I was stepping into its history.

He was brave and noble and immortal and I was so proud. But he changed I'll tell you, not all at once but gradually. It couldn't have been because he was bitter or disappointed, his life had been only triumph. And the tears could still come into his eyes, and the catch in his wonderful voice when he spoke to the people.
Perhaps he loved the people. Perhaps he loved them. But didn't trust them to think for themselves. Or perhaps he was insatiable. And wanted even more power to add to his glory, I don't know.
But he envied the dictators and thought that all governments by the people and for the people were soon to perish from the Earth.

SO: Robert Forrest.
CR: And as he changed, my, my love changed too. I remember the first day I looked at his face and trembled with fear at the change that I saw in that face.
Hatred arrogance cruelty.
A face of a man who no longer believed in god but only in himself.
And he held me in his arms and I knew that it was no longer a wife that he wanted but sons and his eyes told me that I was a poor creature that couldn't give him sons.

Then my fear changed to pity. I thought that he was going like his mother but---
