“Enemy of the State”: ABC Network Up To Old Tricks; But HAYDEN CONFIRMED to HEAD CIA
By
Surprise, surprise. ABC is up to it’s old tricks again.
Tomorrow night, the network will broadcast “Enemy of the State,” a PRE-9/11 movie whose plot involves sinister NSA agents tapping the all telecommuncations, etc. of an innocent labor lawyer (whose wife just so happens to be an ACLU lawyer) and making his life hell–all to cover up a murder of a U.S. Senator who opposed more lax surveillance legislation.
Is it just me . . . or do you notice that ABC picks “coincidental” times to run certain programming?
The last time ABC ran this 1998 movie . Strange that the network is now running it again when the network believed that Michael Hayden, recent NSA Chief, would still be up for confirmation as CIA Chief. But the joke’s on ABC programmers with an obvious political agenda. Today, Hayden was confirmed by the U.S. Senate by a vote of 78-15.
–circa :
The movie’s posters say, “It’s not paranoia if they’re really after you.”
But . . . “Enemy of the State” was written and appeared in theaters in 1998, well before 9/11. ABC is still living–with that movie–in a pre-9/11 world. In that film, the enemies were villains in the NSA.
Today’s real enemies are Islamic terrorists that want to destroy us. Almost 5 years after 9/11, ABC has forgotten.
“American” Broadcasting Company? Not really.

Do you see NO irony in letting NSA spy, warrantless, on American citizens in order to stop those who would “take away our freedoms?” Between the NSA spying and provisions of the ridiculously mis-named Patriot Act, America is doing a fine job of systematically dismantling its own freedoms without waiting for terrorists to do a thing but sit back & watch.
