Nowadays blacklists are a silent way of trying to destroy people and their careers.
And that suits those doing the blacklisting particularly if they call themselves liberal and claim to care about censorship and human rights.
But some liberals forget to keep quiet and make public what is really going on.
[W]e asked a number of US companies to work for us. We needed companies to make DVDs and provide translated subtitles for our new documentary Not Evil Just Wrong...it challenges liberal orthodoxy - taking a critical look at environmentalism and Global Warming hysteria.
[T]he Atlanta based International Services translation company really gave the game away when in an email they explained why they were refusing to provide us with their services.
CEO Sue Ellen Reager stated:
"I have researched your film on the web, and do not see scientific reviews or major press reviews in support (may be too early), and needed that support to assure cooperation from our translators. Because we translate with highly educated people around the world, located in countries like Germany and France, who take Global Warming very seriously, I am fairly sure that several countries will refuse to participate in this project."
In a follow up telephone conversation Ms Reager explained to "you guys in Europe" how the system really worked.
Ms Reager and her company have "worked in Hollywood for years" she explained. Their client list includes CNN, Turner Broadcasting, Google and Microsoft.
At first she blamed her European translators.
"Your content looks like it is refuting many assertions made by Al Gore and Europe is pro Al Gore... and I am pretty sure they will refuse to participate...we deal with really classy people in Germany and anything attacking Al Gore they will refuse."
Speaking on the phone Ms Reager said that in the email she was "just being nice" to us because we were Europeans and that she was worried that the film might be like some of the "Republican shit" that gets released in the US.
The real problem is with those pesky Republicans in the US who insist on making films that she and Hollywood don't agree with.
"I didn't know whether your documentary is fact based or part of the rubbish that Republicans make. You wouldn't believe the crap they put out. It is unbelievable shit, incredible lies," she said.
Many Republicans put out films that are just "faith based imaginings," she added.
We are European but isn't Atlanta the home of one of your famous civil rights leaders who in a "faith based imagining" dreamed that people one day would be judged by the content of their character and nothing else.
This dream does not seem to have reached Hollywood - just yet. It is a one party town where character, hard work and talent count for nothing. No dissent form the leftist orthodoxy seems to be tolerated and those who disagree experience quiet discrimination that slowly strangles their ability to work in the industry.

GLENN: I got a letter from a woman in Arizona.
She writes an open letter to our nation's leadership:
Two, the TARP Bill, I want it repealed
In general you can assume that anyone who uses the expression “really classy” isn’t.

Los Angeles CA April 19 2009
The owner of a security firm and two vice presidents accused of defrauding the state of $9 million in an elaborate workers compensation scheme pleaded not guilty today.
Ousama Karawia, 45, owner and president of International Protective Services Inc., and vice presidents Larry Finley, 42, and Allan Terrill Bailey, 39, have been charged with one count each of conspiracy and multiple counts of workers compensation premium fraud and insurance fraud, according to the Los Angeles County district attorneys office.
Karawia also has been charged with five counts of possessing unregistered assault weapons, said Jane Robison, a spokeswoman for the district attorneys office.
The men allegedly created a shell company, International Armored Solutions Inc., to hide the true number of employees at the security firm to avoid paying higher workers compensation insurance premiums to the State Compensation Insurance Fund, Robison said.
Authorities said Karawia told state officials that he employed about 20 workers at the new company and that it was not part of the main security firm. The company failed to pay $9.5 million in workers comp premiums for its 1,500 employees, prosecutors said.
The men were taken into custody Wednesday on suspicion of fraud, prosecutors said.
On his firms website, Karawia had said he was deputy director of the sheriffs Homeland Security Support Unit. But Steve Whitmore, a spokesman for Sheriff Lee Baca, said Karawia had been relieved of duty as a reserve deputy and that the unit was disbanded two years ago.

In 2003
Armed with the rarely applied Tweed Law, a team of young lawyers in the New York attorney general's office won a criminal plea this month from a top executive for a private security firm that they say defrauded New York by supplying unqualified guards -- some convicted of serious crimes -- to public places such as Camp Smith in Westchester County, where the state's Division of Military and Naval Affairs conducts weapons training and stores munitions.
Bunce Pierce, senior vice president of the California-based firm headed by Egyptian-born Ousama Karawia, pleaded guilty in Manhattan Supreme Court to a single count of hiring an unregistered security guard. The criminal plea, according to Assistant Attorney General Mark G. Peters, paves the way for civil settlement in New York v. International Protective Services, 02-402799. Under the settlement negotiated with defense lawyers, said Peters, the company would forfeit the right to do business in New York state for five years, and pay $1.1 million in reimbursed fees and penalties.
What’s a “Republican film” ?
> I wonder how one says idiot in 10 languages?
It’s basically the same word and is mutually understandable among the English, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and French speaking peoples.
This dream does not seem to have reached Hollywood - just yet.It started Hollywood... but left LONG ago :/
Ellen Reager is clearly a Nazi quality bigot.MAJOR understatement..
You read my mind.
Old black & white westerns with John Wayne (I just couldn't resist).
Yeah, we always laugh, cause we KNOW it's coming!
Interesting that she didn't give these highly educated people a choice in the matter. They might have welcomed the work!
Well, that wouldn’t necessarily be the case, either. Wayne’s favorite director, Admiral John Ford, was a Democrat.
