July 4th: Individual Freedom – Or Free Individual?

July 5, 2018

It’s been a tradition here on this Blog to post this great scene from the movie “Easy Rider” every 4th of July. For those too young to remember the movie, I highly suggest you look it up and watch it. Lots of stereotypes are profiled, but the show does a great job of capturing the late 1960’s.
Shown in this scene are Jack Nicholson, Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper. Ironically, Hopper (in the fringe jacket) was not at all like his Hippie-Biker character in the movie. He was the son of a U.S. Intelligence officer and supporter of right-wing causes, bragging about his 30-year track record of voting Republican.
In this scene, Nicholson discusses the difference between individual freedom and a free individual. Sorry about the short commercial at the start of the clip, YouTube never used to have those.
Enjoy!

    Review: “Breath” by James Nestor Every now and then I come across a book that I claim is the most important book I have read this year. Of course, I sometimes say that two or three times a year. However, one such book is “Breath – The New Science Of A Lost Art”, by James […]
  • Review: The Hunt For Zero Point – By Nick Cook
    In an effort to get a little distance from hardcore politics and history, I recently reviewed a book on the counterculture in the ’70’s and a great book on Bigfoot. Now comes a book on government research into antigravity and the “flying saucer” phenomenon. “The Hunt For Zero Point – Inside The Classified World Of […]
  • Engineered Pathogens And Stealth Viruses
    There is something very disturbing about vaccine development regarding the Corona virus. One of the key firms that has been given a contract to develop vaccines against the virus, Moderna Therapeutics, has partnered with a major intelligence agency-driven box of magic tricks to develop a cure. In “The Pentagon’s Brain – An Uncensored History of […]
  • Review: “Daydream Sunset” – By Ron Jacobs

Radicals and activists had paved the way in civil rights, women’s rights, environmental issues, and the war in Vietnam stumbled to […]
