1962 The Manchurian Candidate
Taking eight years the Russians planned a coup d’etat for America. Brainwashing was the key factor. They twisted a mindless US Senator to become the Republican nominee for Vice President. His brainwashed son would assassinate the Presidential nominee on the same dais. On the shot the Vice President would rush to the slain man’s side to deliver a soul-stirring speech to boost him to the top spot.
The Russians failed as they always did in American movies. Frank Sinatra wedded and bedded Janet Leigh, which was a fine reward for the Army’s bungled shot at anti-terrorism.
Brainwashing was key to George Romney’s failure to become President. Going to Vietnam he bought the Army’s dog and pony show like John McCain had done more recently. On his return home, Romney claimed the Army had brainwashed him. Consequently, George Romney lost any chance to become President.
He remained a great believer in brainwashing and he set many programs in motion to control the minds of Mormons from infancy. Among his greatest achievements was his son Mitt, who ran in the Republican nomination process this year.
During a debate, the microphones detected the words fed to Mitt by an off-stage prompter.
I like the original much better .
