Sorry, someone else got there first. Hollywood only does
cover-up fantasies, mind-control exercises, and recruiting
commercials.Cliffhanger was based on the downing of a drug plane, not a
money plane. The perps were organized, not lone crazed as
per the film.Then there was the James Bond movie set in Afghanistan.
It had Massoud and Hekmatyar characters. The US bad
boys were cut out by a lone crazed entrepreneur again,
so there could be a fictitious Good CIA alternative and
Massoud could ace heroin dealer Hekmatyar in fantasy.I just watched a movie about a coup in a lesser Russian
satellite country which was defeated by an American
version of James Bond. It was a recruiting pitch for
the Rangers. Pitiful Bondo blamed the Asian heroin trade
on a central processing center in Russia.Just now I saw a movie about a runaway submarine
that the Marines and SEALs couldn't save, so the Rangers
had to do it again, allowing the UN to complete a satellite
surveillance system that could find minute traces of drugs
from the sky, "winning the drug war".-Bob

I am curious as to whether any has ever been able to approach big name
producers like Oliver Stone about the drug issues. In an age where the
American masses can often only be reached through the medium of
entertainment, could it be possible that some maverick producer like Stone,
of JFK fame, could become interested in a movie plot full of intrigue etc.
tying in Barry Seal, Iran-Contra, etc. in a "historical novel" type film
like JFK? The first one could start in the Golden Triangle, the second in
Latin America, etc. etc. It would reach many more people than talk radio or
other media.......David Goldman
