A small thing, I know. But troubling as part of the larger picture.

ABC was advertising a show called Designated Survivor prior to the Inauguration and during their interview with Trump (video at link):

ABC aired a promo for a show about a fictional president being shot during their much hyped interview with Donald Trump last night.

The clip is a promo for episode 11 of the ABC show Designated Survivor, in which Kiefer Sutherland plays an obscure cabinet secretary who is “unexpectedly thrust into the presidency after an attack at the capitol during a State of the Union address.”

The scene shows the fictional president attending the swearing in of a Congressman before a gunshot is heard and panic ensues.

“Who took the bullet?” asks the promo before the scene cuts to a hospital as surgeons operate on the victim.

Viewers did not find out in the previous cliffhanger episode if the president in the show was shot or if someone else “took the bullet,” although the implication that the president could have been the victim is clear: https://www.infowars.com/abc-airs-promo-for-show-about-president-being-shot-during-trump-interview/

John Wilkes Booth was a 19th Century Hollyweirdo. Seems these show people tend to like the idea of assassination.

That movie was released in 2013.

Saw it - it is not a small thing. Don’t be surprised if you see a boycott. Sell your stock in whatever media monopoly owns TBS.

All liberal heads that need to explode should. Trump is making vile liberals self-destruct. That is no small feat. I can't think of anybody who can pull it off.

The leftist media tried to incite someone to assassinate Bush, too. With Reagan, they only engaged in over-the-top fear-mongering.

It is only when there is a Democrat president that they suddenly take the presidency seriously. Then, something as innocuous as a rodeo clown wearing a mask is a serious threat, according to the hypocritical left.

Saruman (Leftists) to the army (evil people) of Isengard “A new power is rising. Its victory is at hand. This night the land will be stained with the blood of Rohan. March to Helm’s Deep. Leave none alive. To war!”

If something happens to Trump, I have a feeling that the next civil war will erupt. It will be like the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.

No. The movie is about a North Korean Terrorist Organization infiltrating the White House. The South Korean PM visits and his security detail IS the Terrorist Organization. The South Korean PM is executed live on TV. Things get worse from there until they get better. It is a good action movie.

The sequel, London has Fallen, is just as clever. When the Westminster Bridge attack occurred I thought of that movie.

I’ve noticed it, too. Olympus Has Fallen. White House Down. The Manchurian Candidate, etc. Pure hate against Trump and America. Television has been running and rerunning every movie they can find about a presidential assassination or government takeover for the past couple of months.

Awful movie and equally terrible TV show. Stopped watching the TV show after the POTUS and FLOTUS went FULL RETARD on gun ownership.

“Olympus Has Fallen”

Another politically correct rendition of a “what if” scenario. The Hollywood Left has to use its power to influence, mold, and form public opinion.

The North Koreans (at the time and unlikely group) were used in place of Hezbollah, Hamas, Al Qaeda or any of the other offshoots of the Muslim Brotherhood. After all, at the time of the films production, wasn’t Obama saying that Al Qaeda had been defeated? Wasn’t Hillary gearing up for a run at the White House?

This choice was specifically because of fear. Not the term “Islamophobia”, thrown out by the Left, but actual fear that Muslim would erupt, if they Muslim Extremist were depicted as the culprits. ISIS had not yet taken to social media to exhibit their cruelty.

Could a version of either “Olympus Has Fallen” or “White House Down” be produced by Hollywood with ISIS as the culprit,now? The Left won’t produce such a movie or mini-series, because fear. They weren’t going to do it in 2013, and they certainly won’t now. Remember the mini-series about the Kennedys that was canned, because it might reflect on the Democrat Party? Remember Dinesh D’Souza problems?

There is a deep fear by the Left of that “Tiger in the Room” (Islam). It’s not an elephant. It has claws.

The Socialist Left has sided with Islam, thinking it can use Muslims to destroy our Republic. The Left believes that from the ruins of our Republic, they can dominate and establish a Socialist Utopia. So, there is fear, but it is by the Socialist Left. They censor news, and speech, and use the MSM to mold opinion, just as they have since the 50’s.

Back in the 70’s there was going to be a film about the life of Muhammad, based on Muslim history of Mohammed’s life. The excuse that Islam takes the stand that there can be no image of Mohammed, there was a Muslim outcry and film was canned. The truth about the origins of Islam had to be concealed. The film was canned. This was after much pressure was taken against Hollywood.

After failing to destroy Israel in 1973, and discovering that repeated attempts to destroy Israel by armed force wasn’t working, even with Soviet help, the Arab nations started using the oil production as a weapon against the West. Remember the long lines at gas stations in the middle 70’s. The oil states started throwing their money around and buying influence.

There were many Muslims in American universities in the 70’s. Actually there were many Iranians. They discovered the fact that the MSM could be used to sway public opinion and drive an American President from office. They realized that the Socialist Left had taken over the Democrat Party, and the shout from the Left that “The Media is the Message” held true. One of the Arab nations bought out a news wire service in the 70’s. What purpose, but to influence and help mold “news”.

Many of the Iranian students returned to Iran as Socialists. A revolution was formed to take the Shah out of power. Our own MSM was instrumental in the revolution. Unfortunately the Socialist as always underestimated the Mullahs. The Socialist and Mullahs united to take the Shah down, but the Mullahs were a little more violent. The result is what we have now, a radical Islamic state dedicated to the destruction of the West and intent upon Armageddon.

The ties between the Iranian Socialists and the American Left stayed strong, until we eventually found under the last Presidency, both Shiite and Sunni agents inluencing the White House.

There is so much fear that the truth about Islam and/or the Socialist Democrats goals will be exposed, that the Left now uses their old tried and true weapon of censorship along with propaganda to sway and form public opinion.
