Last night I watched The Boys from Brazil on TMC. It’s one of a few movies that truly scare me that I can watch over and over again. Gregory Peck puts in a fantasically maniacal, evil and paranoid performance as Josef Mengele, the Auzchwitz “doctor” who experimented upon children, poisoning them to test their immunity system, as well as attempting to find ways to alter their appearance, making them appear more “Aryan” by injecting blue dye into their eyes.
There is a haunting scene in the film; Mengele is examining a small Paraquayan boy, no more than 6 or 7 years old, and the boy- dark skinned and black haired- has bright blue, obviously altered, eyes. **shiver**
Anyway, this morning on my morning reading rounds, happened upon an interesting post at Scrutiny Hooligans entitled American Mengele. (via The Sideshow)
Michael Doyle reports “The Bush administration would allow some limited pesticide testing on children and pregnant women under controversial rules set to be made final as early as this week.
This stuff just makes my monkey tail twitch.
David Miller, who penned the article on the Pentagon’s plans for “Information dominance” linked to in an earlier post, sends a reminder in a post to Media-Squatters that there is “much else now on our website:
www.spinwatch.org”
