Have you felt the Bern yet?
social night at the movies with Leon Phat

You are invited to supper, a movie, and a friendly jaw of politics this coming Saturday evening, February 13 in San Francisco! Celebrate President's Day Weekend in America by watching the dramatic, ridiculous, wildly comic and oh so still relevant ancient but classic film Dr. Strangelove with host Leon Phat.

To understand the roots of the Republican candidates' fear-mongering as well as to uncover the deep-in-the-pockets of the establishment Democrat opposing Bernie Sanders, this film is highly instructive . . . and a big laugh!

Four course camouflaged vegetarian buffet supper begins at six pm. Film at 7. Free-form yakking from 9 to 10 o'clock.

RSVP so I know how many pots and pans to put on the stove.

by Enjoy the Movie, Not the Democrats
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb directed and written by Stanley Kubrick in 1964, when Democrat Johnson was president, the proud murderer of the Vietnamese people, the same as the Republicans, and proud supporter of nuclear weapons and power, the same as the Republicans, is an old favorite which may be instructive to young people on the anti-Soviet hysteria of the time and the lunacy of the nuclear warmongers, Democrats and Republicans equally. The anti-Russian hysteria today of the Democrat-Republicans is approaching the same as the anti-Soviet hysteria including that of anti-Russian Sanders, all to promote war profiteering and for an invasion of the richest mineral prize of all, Russia. If anything, it is certainly an acting lesson, as British actor Peter Sellers imitates the American accent perfectly, as well as playing other roles, including Dr. Strangelove. African American actor James Earl Jones is also in in the movie in his first film role. For more see http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057012/

That said, Bernie Sanders is a pro-military Zionist whose sole reason for running for president is to herd disgruntled Democrats away from socialists and Greens and toward the Democrats, the twin party of the Republicans. The only reason the Democrats exist is to make sure you never vote Red (socialist) or Green. That is why they, especially their sheepdogs like Bernie Sanders, mouth a few decent phrases at election time, but once elected, carry out the same capitalist, war and fascism, agenda as the Republicans, because they are paid by the same capitalist class.

FIVE YEARS AGO, a Counterpunch article warned Americans of the Democrats' sheepdog to drive disgruntled Democrats back to the Democratic Party that they have in every presidential election. See

He also called Hugo Chavez, the late leader of Venezuela murdered by the CIA, a communist dictator, standard US capitalist war machine hatemongering. See

His support of US imperialism is outrageous and unconscionable. See
Does Bernie Sanders’ Imperialism Matter? by Shamus Cooke, 1/5/16
http://www.globalresearch.ca/does-bernie-sanders-imperialism-matter/5499541

Bernie Sanders voted for money for Israel during Israel's massacre of Gaza in July 2014. He is a lifelong Zionist, a darling of AIPAC. His Russian bashing and celebration of war contractors in Vermont are part of his same support of the US war machine as his support of the US military base called Israel.

He claims he is a democratic socialist but not a Marxist, an impossibility since a Marxist is by definition a democratic socialist, supporting the needs and interests of the overwhelming majority, the workingclass.
