Rebuttal to Gary Brooks' Lurdcious "Red Dawn" Scenarios
In rebuttal to Gary Brooks' luridcious "Red Dawn" scenarios on his latest vlog about expressing such concerns about the latest Russian strategic and tactic developments down in South America region.
First of all, Gary Brooks, deaf vlogger and Gallaudet graduate, made numerous significant errors in refer to the Reaganesque 80's film, "Red Dawn". The fictional invaders were the part of Soviet Union empire, NOT Russia. Comprendo? Gary Brooks had to understand the real difference between the Soviet Union and Russia being specifically portrayed in the "Red Dawn" film.
Gary Brooks had to realize that the "Flamingo Kid" 1984 film with Matt Dillon, was really the FIRST Hollywood film to be stamped and labeled as the PG-13 film, but shelved and released later.
Yes, "Red Dawn" film was the first Hollywood film to be released with the PG-13 rating. Gary Brooks' favorite Hollywood filmmaker, Steven Spielberg was directly responsible for the call of creating the PG-13 rating in response to many outraged parents about overly violent materials in "Gremlins" and "Indian Jones : Temple of the Doom" films. Spielberg was pretty defensive and reactive and greedy to save his films from being labeled as "inappropriate" for many young kids. Nothing new about Hollywood!
"Red Dawn" film was purely known as the product of "Cold War" mentality or subtle propaganda of the Reagan/Bush administration to manipulate the American public opinion about the nuclear freeze movement and other dovish activists which pushed the unrealistic and illogical proposal for the Strategic Defense Intitatives (SDI) often popularly labeled as "Star Wars".
Many goofs and technical errors and laughable plot found in the "Red Dawn". Not many people realized that the Pentagon and Reagan's first Chief of Staff, General Alexander Haig, were heavily involved in the storyline development to create the panic fears about the likely "Soviet Union" invasion of the United States. President Reagan also gave the birth of pop culture trend of describing the Soviet Union as the "evil empire" borrowed the phrase from the first Star War film. General Haig, the first chief of staff under President Reagan, was pressured to resign for his dictatorial remark - "I am in charge now" and kept the Vice President George H.W. Bush in dark about Reagan's failed assassination.
There will be the remake of "Red Dawn" film for the post 9/11 scenario in the near future. It is in the pre-development phase right now.
ABC's "Amerika" television mini-series back in 1987, also was seen as part of the "right-wing paranoia". This mini-series consisted of very boring and dreary 14 hours which were blasted by every directions from the left and right. The Soviet Union also threatened to shut down the ABC-TV's Moscow news bureau, but the ABC-TV network had to prove themselves tough and not back down. Many people were concerned about the possible damaging aspect of "Amerika" and "Red Dawn" film on the U.S.-Soviet Union relations.
Gary Brooks had to ask himself "whom is to blame" for the real obesity epidemic among the American youths. He had to realize whose ran the White House for past 40 years - Republicans. President John F. Kennedy established the President's Commission on Fitness
which the Republicans made many mispriorities like the "War on Drug". Republicans never did use the common sense about the importance of physical fitness. We could get our natural adherline from execrising and eating appropriately.
The Reagan administration was fully responsible for relaxing and weakening the quality and standard for food regulation, ex. , creation of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) as most economical and profitable for the mega food industry like the Protcer and Gamble and the Kraft Foods, Inc at that time. President Reagan claimed that "ketchup" as real vegetable with a lot of HFCS in it. The U.S. Senator, John Heinz, vigorously protested that the Reagan administration labeled ketchup to qualify as a vegetable for the administration's so-called justifiable calls for deep cuts on school lunch programs across the United States. The Reagan administration assaulted on the expanding school lunch program for providing real nutritional foods, instead of junk foods.
During the Reagan years, the administration loosened the definition of nutritional quality of school lunches. My former school, WV School for the Deaf got chocolate milks and pizzas and other junk foods for very first time in its school history, because of the Reagan and other national administration being permissible with the weakening of our school lunches' nutritional quality in name of real capitalism.
The presence of HFCS in our processed foods were unquestionably responsible for many symptoms among our American youth - diabetes and obese at very young age. The Reagan era highly encouraged the excessive materialism within the American people - home video games.
Pros and cons of the video game uses have to be stated. Many military experts found real benefits with the regular application of video games among the youth to maximize the spatial orientation and time-response. The present American soldiers of the Gen X found themselves that the video games often doesn't reflected the reality of war battlegrounds.
Is the present Russia under the sleath leadership of Vladmir Putin and Medevev's hidden agenda of occupying or invading the economically vulnerable United States are possibly real?
We probably will not know for sure. The neo-conservatives and pro-military fascists like Gary Brooks, often overstate or make the molehill out of many things to protect their own "military-industrial complex" interests, ex. the Blackwater or RPK contractors.
Yes, President George W. Bush was very idiotic for re-assuring the American people back in 2001 - "I looked into Putin's eyes and seen his soul. I trust him". Bush was totally wrong about Putin, the ex-KGB agent. Gary Brooks' 2000 presidential candidate - GWB? Bush in 2004?
Most important of all is to strengthen our economic foundation and military preparedness than outlying such right wing paranoia about Russia's geopolitics activities in Venezuela, Panama Canal and Iran.
The United States of America must invest substantial time and pay real attention to the South America region, not intimidate and bully and dictate any South America countries much further. Just work along with, not ostratched any hidden agenda to solely serve the commerical interests for the United States. We ought to re-visit our official policy toward Cuba and help to democratize the Cuban society than remaining the economic and political sanction.
Gary Brooks is wrong again about the size of Iraq as a country. Yes, Iran is much bigger than Iraq in geographical destiny.
Gary Brooks usually confuse the reality of geopolitics thru the lens of Hollywood fiction movies. Many battle scenes in "Red Dawn" are absurdly illogical and unpractical anyway.
Russia have its own military problem - serious morale problems among their enlisted soldiers, explosive rate of HIVs and diminishing "petro-dollars" and shrinking population. Russia would not stomach any physical invasion of the United States. It would resort to the use of electromagnetic pulses (EMP) to disrupt and disable the electronic system from television broadcast waves to the AMT machines as most "cost-effective" and "practical" to paralyze the daily economic and military operations.
That would be possible for the return of the Cold War between the United States and Russia. Who knows? How interesting for Russia making the odd alliances with Venezuela, the firebrand critic of the Bush II administration, Iran and the post-Fidel Cuba. Russia want to send the direct message to another imperialistic country like the United States about its meddlesome foreign policy.
Gary Brooks really do not understand the realities and pragmatism of foreign policy and alliance to defend the democratic country from falling in down like Georgia. Gary Brooks seems give the contradictory postiton about watching out for Russia's likely invasion, then criticized the United States' postiton toward Georgia.
The critics of Russia's unjustifiable invasion of Georgia are realists since they are very familiar with the history of humankind like the Imperial Japan's invasion of Manchuria and Nazi Germany's invasion of Poland and other Eastern Europe.
Our country will be really okay under the Obama-Biden leadership with the strong defense mechanism. President-elect Barack Obama is a superbu poker player himself. The Obama-Biden administration could outsmart and outbid Premier Vladmir Putin and Russian President Medevev.
Most important of all is to restore the real strength of our military response and defense perimeter which the Republicans overspend the military budget on many countless stuff like $1,000 toilet seat and other non-workable military equipments from the Reagan era.
Our country needs to treat our war veterans much better than we have. The endless arguments about whether deaf people ought to be allowed to enlist into the U.S. military. I strongly that we ought to open up the idea to Israel and other countries' example of enlisting every citizens for two years service including deaf American citizens to appreciate the strong national defense. Pros and cons about enlisting every citizens for two-years military service and look at Israel's irrational endless dealings with terrorist acts. Israel ought to re-examine its own policy toward Palestine.
The recommended reading material like the 80s Film and Its Social History by William J. Palmer which sh0w many parallels to the relationship between films and pop culture and the given society. "Red Dawn" is purely the money-maker film like the 1950s' paranoia about the UFO intergalaxy invasion of Earth from many Hollywood classic sci-fic films, ex. "The Day The Earth Stood Still" and "The Invasion of Saucer-Men" and "The Blob".
Just have a faith in our national defense. "Red Dawn" film is also a propaganda for the National Rifle Association (NRA) on the issue of gun rights.
One hilarous scene in the "Red Dawn" film left me smile about some ASL interpreters twisted what the deaf client said. The assigned Russian interpreter falsely told the Russian soliders what the plaque with the written English on it . How true about some audistic ASL interpreters do to us, deaf people.

DBC Ought to Participate in Presidential Inaugural 2008 Parade
Deaf Bilingual Coalition (DBC) ought to participate in the 56th Presidential Inaugural Parade - January 20,2008 for countless free airtime and endless public exposures and global recognition.
The Joint Congressional Committee Inaugural Ceremonies had the participation deadline date - November 18th for any partisan or civic society participation.
President-elect Barack Hussein Obama and the general public could have an opportunity to acknowledge the existence of Deaf Bilingual Coalition to enhance the lives and educational opportunities of deaf youngsters along with the linguistic development of deaf babies. We could use the precious free airtime and television interviews for greater public exposures within the DBC.
Why not for the Deaf Bilingual Coalition (DBC) contact the Joint Congressional Committee Inaugural Committee to see if they could participate in the historic 2008 presidential inauguration past the deadline date?
One of the committee members are U.S. Senator Diana Fienstein of California which the Bay Area deaf community is the main anchor for real deaf activism to improve and mobilize the educational means for deaf youngsters and stand for the rights to linguistic development among deaf babies.
The real downside of the 2008 inaugural parade is to deal with the "freezing points" weather in the Nation's Capitol.
President-elect Barack Obama would approve the idea of Deaf Bilingual Coaltion to build and strengthen the education of the deaf to lift deaf youngsters into limitless possibilities and greater future.

Let's Protest "Unequal Treatment" at Tmw's ASL Expo in Upper Malboro
Gay-friendly Deaf Americans and Deaf Gay, Lebasian, Bisexual and Transgender (GLBT) individuals ought to unify together to take up the part in tommorow's nationwide protest against the "unequal treatment" and "discriminatory practices" to deny the GLBT individuals from tying up the knots to show their real commitment and love toward each others.
The impromptu protest will take the place at the ASL Expo in Upper Malboro, MD to send out the strong message to the Deaf American community on Saturday, November 15th at 1:30 pm on the main stage.
Don't be spineless and show your true color to prove the Deaf GLBT presence in our Deaf American community what the Deaf GLBT people have done for many deaf people in general.
Please wear the bold GAY t-shirt colors like Pink, Purple, Neon Yellow, Neon Green and Neon Red (Rainbow colors) tommorow at the ASL Expo, Upper Malboro - www.aslexpo.com If you have any old wedding dress to loan. Let's do it!
We probably do the mock marriage to show the real beauty of humanity loving each other and be treated equally as part of the society at large.
We, Deaf GLBT and Gay-Friendly individuals ought to remind the Deaf America about Alexander Graham Bell's past attempts to ban the intermarriages between deaf people in the 1800s.

Any questions, please email me at rlmdeaf@hotmail.com

How Would We React with Obama for the Resurgence of Stem Cells Research?
How would we respond to the possibility of real success with future stem cells research to reverse the hearing loss (I really hate this term) among deaf people?
Will we curse the Obama/Biden administration or what? If the U.S. Congress make the mandatory requirement for us, culturally deaf individuals to undergo the hearing restoration or face the fines / lose the special tax breaks (We do not have that kind of tax breaks at that time).
I have some mixed feelings about using the undeveloped fetus - real defenseless creatures for our stem cells research. I am not politically conservative or a religious person. I do support women's rights to decide what to do with their own bodies. The issue of abortion within unwanted pregnancy bother me lately.
Not many people realize that the cosmetic industry usually use up the snipped pieces of skin from male circumcision among young male babies. Those discarded skins ended up in the manufacturing the regenerated skin creams nowadays.
Stem cells research could bring us endless benefits, but questions at the expense of defenseless "few days old" fetus, somewhat bother me lately.
I personally think that the Obama/Biden administration kinda rush on the issue of stem cells research with federal funds before Obama takes up the oath on January 20th.
Deaf people everywhere could be classified as "undesired" if we choose not to restore our genetic flaws or blessing features.
Back in the 1992 presidential election, Bill Clinton and the Democrats were staunch supporters for mainstreaming deaf students into regular schools. President George W. Bush and the Republicans supported the existence of residential schools for the education of the deaf.
Culturally deaf people probably resign to the idea of stem cells use to reverse or restore the hearing loss as compared to the much invasive cochlear implant surgery.
Our unique social and cultural identity as deaf people would be fading into forgotten history of the humankind if there are real success with the stem cells research of reversing or restoring the deaf being to the "perfect" human.

Is "BOLT" New Movie in 3-D Capable of Open/Closed Captions at Theatre(s)?
Is the new Disney film, "Bolt" capable of showing captions with the 3-D features at selected theatre(s)? It is about the adventure of superdog in computer animated features.
There are many 3-D and IMAX films shown with closed captions thru the use of Rear Window Captioning (RWC), but what about open captions.
Too complicated to be the 3-D films or IMAX films shown with OPEN captions?
That would be real nice of viewing the Disney's "Bolt" film during the quiet Thanksgiving week.

Deaf History - John C., Breckinridge, Vice President to James Buchanan
Not many of us, deaf Americans realized that there was someone in the nation's high office already had interconnected with the Deaf history- John Cabell Breckinridge. He served as a trustee to the Kentucky School for the Deaf in Danville before elected to the U.S. House of Representatives and Vice President to President James Buchanan.
Senator John McCain would be not very first hearing individual to be elected to the nation's high office, interwoven with the deaf world. Breckingridge is!
Barack Obama would be not the first "black" President of the United States. President Warren Harding repeatedly seen as the real first "black" president in despite of his external appearance of white skin color.
President Harding's great-grandparents were rumored to be African-American. Harding's great grandfather - West Indian black. Harding's great grandmother, Elizabeth Madison also was an African American, too.
Warren Harding repeatedly was taunted as a youth for his "kink-haired" features. Harding never denied his own ancestry. Harding's U.S. Justice Department went out to destroy all the copies of William Chancellor White's books claimed Harding to be racially mixed. Harding was very horrified of the constant lynching of African Americans in the 1920s. He never done anything in an official position to stop such madness with the lynching of black people.
Barack Obama and Warren Harding have much in common like being very popular with women for being the good-looking lad and look much presidential.
Other four Presidents of the United States were also suspected of devired from the ancestry of black people - Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln and Calvin Coolidge.
Lincoln's law partner. William Herndon, wrote the book - "The Hidden Lincoln" to describe Abraham Lincoln having very dark skin and coarse hair. Many political opponents had a field days with political cartoon drawings decepited Lincoln as a Negro and nicknamed him "Abraham Africianus the First". Lincoln's mother, Nancy Hanks told some people that Abraham was an illegitimate son of black man. No wonder about Lincoln's stepfather disowned Abraham after his mother's untimely death. Lincoln's political opponents especially newspaper editors lambasted President Lincoln as a "baboon".
President Calvin Coolidge's mother had been nicknamed "Moor" which was very common phrase for dark-skinned Caucasians during its time. Coolidge's wife was employed with the Clarke School for the Deaf in Massachusetts. The Coolidges were seen with the use of sign language at the White House during their private times to keep the White House staff from eavesdropping on the First Couple.
President Andrew Jackson's mother intermarried the Negro. Andrew Jackson's eldest brother had been sold as a slave in Carolina (before the partings of large state into two states - North and South Carolina).
Interestingly, the U.S. Attorney General and leading Democratic Party presidential candidate, Robert F. Kennedy (RFK) did predict for the black president will be elected someday back to the 1961's the Voice of America radio interview.
U.S. Vice President, John C. Breckingridge and President Calvin Coolidge and Jimmy Carter were only hearing individuals in the national high office (President and Vice President of the United States) and directly linked to our Deaf History.
