Over the years, I have authored articles titled “Books You Aren’t Supposed to Read.”  These are books that the Establishment may not have been outrighted banned but are ignored or panned by Establishment critics.     I will now begin a series of articles, on an irregular basis, concerning movies that the Establishment has ignored or smothered.   All of these movies are available on our Rumble channel-link below. They can also be found on YouTube.  We recommend that the readers not only watch the movies, but let others know of their existence.  Why not host a movie night in your home, church, civic organization, or your local library?

                                                                                                     Not Your To Give 1982

This is a short adaptation of the free market essay Sockdolager.      While the story, originally published in the January 1867  Harper’s Magazine,  is historically inaccurate, it is an excellent lesson on the U.S. Constitution and the proper role of government.  It begins with Congressman Davey Crockett discussing among his colleagues the reason why he voted against a bill to offer relief to a widow of a War of 1812 officer.  He recounts an experience he had while on the reelection campaign trail.  He stops by the farm of Horatio Bunce seeking his vote.  Bunce tells Crockett that while he thinks he is well meaning, he violated his oath of office.  Crockett asked him to explain.  Bunce tells Crockett that he gets a newspaper from Washington which reports the votes of Congress, and that Crockett voted to give tax money for victims of a Georgetown fire.  Bunce explains that the money in the U.S. Treasury was for the purpose of running the U.S. government and not to give money to fire victims. While Bunce believes in charity,  he explains that it is not a power granted to Congress in the U.S. Constitution. He explains that if Congress can give money these victims, they can give it to anyone.  Bunce ended with “It’s not yours to give,” Crockett used the archaic word “sockdolager (the original name for the story) to describe his response.   Sockdolager is defined as a forceful blow or a conclusive argument.  He realized that Bunce was right.  He told Bunce that he will be back next week and if Bunce could get some of his neighbors together, he will issue an apology and pledge not to do it again.  Crockett shows up at the Bunce’s and is shocked to see how many people Bunce is able to gather.  Crockett tells the group that Bunce taught him a lesson and that he will not violate his oath again.

                                                  A More perfect Union America Becomes A Nation 1989

Produced by Brigham Young University, the movie is a dramatization of the Constitutional Convention of 1787.  While the actors are not household names, the film does an excellent job recounting the story of how our Constitution came about.  The film focuses mainly on  James Madison, the Father of the Constitution. He knew that George Washington’s mere presence would give the convention the legitimacy and support it needed.  He referred to Washington as “the indispensable man.” Washington was initially reluctant,  but not only did he attend, he was the president of the Convention.   The movie focuses on the disagreements, arguments, and compromise between the delegates, but in the end, they gave us the greatest man-made document for the governing of free people the world has ever seen.  The film does an excellent job depicting the distinct personalities of the delegates.

                                                                                    Brotherhood of the Bell 1970

 This was a made for TV movie with an excellent cast including Glenn Ford, Dean Jaegar, Will Geer,  Rosemary Forsythe, and William Conrad.  It is the unofficial story of the Skull and Bones, the secretive and, some believe satanic organization based at Yale University.  Both John Kerry and George W. Bush are members.

The first scene has Professor Andrew Patterson, played by Glenn Ford  and his fellow Bell members initiating a new member-Phil Dunning played by Robert Pine at the fictional College of Saint George in San Francisco.   After the initiation ceremony, Dean Jagger, who plays Chad Harmon, a financier gives Andy an assignment-his due bill.”   The assignment is to convince Patterson’s friend and colleague Dr. Constance Horvathy, played by Eduard Franz, not to take a position that the Bell wants for one of its own.  If he refuses, the Bell will turn over a list of names of anti-communists from his country of origin leading to arrests and certain death.  Horvathy, feeling betrayed by his friend, commits suicide.  Patterson, full of grief and remorse, is determined to expose the Bell.  He goes to the media and tells his story of this secretive organization.   Members of the media interview Harmon who dismisses and ridicules the accusations of the Bell’s power and influence. Shortly after the interview,  Patterson  is informed that his department at the university has been defunded, and he is out of a job.

Patterson goes to his influential father-in-law Harry Masters, played by Maurice Evans,  who offers to help.  He arranged a meeting with what Patterson thinks is an FBI agent but is actually a Bell member.  The agent asks Patterson for the list of names that would have been used to blackmail Horvathy.  He gladly turns them over, giving the only hard evidence he had against the Bell. He realizes his father-in-law is gaslighting him after Masters denies to his daughter and Paterson’s wife. Played by Rosemary Forsyth that he ever set up any meeting with the F.B.I.   Patterson’s father, played by Will Geer, a successful contractor, learns that the IRS has found some fraudulent returns.   He dies from a heart attack after confronting Masters.  Patterson’s wife ends up leaving him.   Out of desperation, he contacts Bart Harris, a bombastic T.V. talk show host played by William Conrad.    Conrad humiliates and ridicules Patterson on the show.  Patterson assaults Bart on air and is arrested.

All looks hopeless until his former boss bails him out and tells Patterson that he believes his story.  He encourages Patterson to  reach out to the young initiate who agrees to help him expose the Bell.  While the movie doesn’t go into the ideology of the Brotherhood of the Bell, it demonstrates how ruthless and powerful it is.

                                                                                 Tomorrow’s Children 1934

This movie was an expose of eugenics and forced sterilization. The movie was banned in a number of states.  Eugenics and forced sterilization, practiced in 31 states and Washington, D.C, were policies of the so-called American Progressives. Led by the likes of racist Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, they were eagerly implemented by the Nazis-a dirty secret that the Left has done an excellent job concealing.    These two evils fell into disfavor after the world learned of the crimes of the Nazis.

The movie features the Mason family .  The parents are lazy drunks. Their children with the exception of Alice, played by Diane Sinclair, who was adopted, are physically and mentally disabled. An older brother is in jail.  The family members, being prime candidates for sterilization, are visited by a  county official who gives them the options of sterilization or lose their welfare benefits.   Alice escapes from the house to avoid the sterilization.  She is soon captured and brought to the hospital to have the procedure.  A sympathetic doctor, Dr. Brooks and Alice’s fiancé, unsuccessfully tries to get an injunction.  Within seconds before  Alice undergoing the sterilization, Father O’Brien, played by Crane Wilbur who also directs the movie, is able to prove that Alice is not part of the Mason bloodline and is saved from sterilization.

                                                                                  Gaslight 1940

This movie doesn’t expose a secret society or government cover-ups and wrongdoing, but this is the movie where the word gaslighting was made popular

Gaslighting is manipulating an individual or group using psychological methods into questioning their own sanity, memory, or powers of reasoning.  A few examples:  “The Southern border is secure.” “Inflation is under control.”  “The world is a peaceful place thanks to the Biden administration’s policies.”

There is a 1944 American version , but I prefer this version that takes place in Victorian England where gaslights were in common use.  The movie begins in the home of an elderly lady whose house is being ransacked by a man who was searching for valuable jewelry.  He murders the lady and continues to ransack the house but never finds the jewelry.  The house is vacant for a number of years until  newlyweds Paul and Bella Mallen move in.  Bella, played by Diana Wynyard, seems to be misplacing objects and Paul, played by Anton Walbrook tries to convince his wife that she is losing her sanity. It was Paul who was deliberately hiding the objects.  He has an affair with the maid and wants to institutionalize his wife.  A retired detective who investigated the original murder case in the house suspects Paul.

There are two floors upstairs that are closed off.  Paul believes that the valuable jewelry may be hidden somewhere in these floors. . When entering the upstairs rooms, he turns on the gaslight, dimming the lights in the downstairs rooms.  Bella observes the dimming gaslights, and Paul tells her that she is imagining it.  He is eventually arrested for the murder of the elderly women.
