Goodman


John Goodman has been cast to star in "The Station," the Fox comedy pilot from Ben Stiller's production shingle.

"The Station" revolves around a group of lackluster CIA operatives at a covert South American outpost, where they're charged with installing a new dictator. Thesp will play Ted Gannon, a gruff CIA vet and head of its Altamara Station.

Goodman joins a cast that includes Justin Bartha, Whitney Cummings, Rob Huebel and Julio Oscar Mechoso.

This. Is a bad sign. The CIA 'F Troop?'

Hollywood primes the audience with benign mirrors of real terrible things.

Either an old scandal is going to finally surface, the ones already bobbing in the cybersurf like Chile and Cuba need a laugh puncturing, or the spooks are expecting new ones that will need hiding, like attacks on Chavez or...

The Bay of Pigs disaster led to shows like 'F Troop' and 'Get Smart' after the book 'The Invisible Government' dumped CIA's dirty laundry. Ha ha.

After COINTELPRO was exposed we had to see cops and judges made funny and benign with 'Barney Miller,' 'Night Court,' and 'Hill Street Blues.'

But now the US has millions of Latin Americans here and they are recruiting targets. So their kidz need to be inoculated against US fascist history installing torturing dictators in their home countries and Operation Condor.

Same old same old.

John Goodman! Of course. Atenco!

Besides that great positive framing name, "good man," John Goodman was already a primary voice-over actor in the Latin American-themed CIA-Disney animation called 'The Emperor's New Groove.' (This shit animation also decoyed the camel cartoon used to sell cigarettes due to new regulations by using a llama look-alike.)

Plus General Pinochet used to clear the steets of protesters using water cannon named after a spitting llama, "guenacos." You can find that in Naomi Kline's 'Shock Doctrine' book on page 106.

Kuzco doesn't do too well as a llama until he runs into Pacha (voice of John Goodman), a poor farmer whose property Kuzco once planned to take over for a vacation home. Soft-hearted Pacha agrees to help the emperor-turned-llama find his way back home...

That CIA-Disney flick was a decoy mirror of the domestic resistance led by Nacho del Valle over the Mexican president's attempt to grab farmer's crop lands to build a new international airport. The exact same battle that the crap movie, 'Nacho Libre' was made to hide after the movement's leader was jailed.

A Filmmaker and Friend of Imprisoned Atenco Leader Ignacio del Valle Asks for Your Support to Bring the True Story Out

>snip<

In 2001 and 2002 I got to know many people from the town of Atenco. I shared meals with them, slept in their houses, and went to their kids’ baptisms and First Communions. I was making two films on the town’s struggle to stop an ambitious and overblown airport project, and Atenco became a home away from home for me. Were it not for the successful struggle of its people, Atenco would have ceased to exist as land speculators snatched their houses and farmlands to plow them under and make way for a hotel zone adjacent to a new airport. The commercial media repeatedly demonized the townspeople as violence-driven thugs intent on stopping progress. Had they bothered to get to know Nacho and the rest of the residents of Atenco, they would have seen the truth about these good people and would have seen that the real thugs were the politicians attempting to illegally steal their lands.

Atenco leaders sentenced to 67 years imprisonment

Repression growing in Mexico
Phil Hearse

In a vicious act of class reprisal Ignacio del Valle Medina, Felipe Alvarez Hernández and Héctor Galindo Gochicua, leaders of the Peoples Front for the Defense of the Land in Atenco, were sentenced on Saturday 5 May to 67 years 6 months jail each for the events in Atenco in early May 2006. In a timing which is undoubtedly cynical and symbolic, the court chose the first anniversary of a mass meeting in Atenco at which subcommandante Marcos denounced the brutalisation of Atenco’s citizens.

Can't have this slogan, like "free Huey" or "free Mumia," spraypainted around American barrios can we?-
