Dystopian Future: Soylent Green

Computing Forever reviews the sci-fi classic Soylent Green, a 1973 picture starring Charlton Heston. Richard Fleischer directed from a screenplay by Stanley R. Greenberg, adapting the Harry Harrison novel Make Room! Make Room!

This prophetic work envisions a nightmarish future about the controlling power of big corporations and an innocent cop who stumbles upon the truth. That’s a truth that’s truly dystopian, yet entirely imaginable in the post-Jeffrey Epstein era.

Defending the 2nd Amendment

Legendary actor and president of the NRA from 1998-2003, Charlton Heston, was a voracious supporter of the Second Amendment and its undisputable guarantee of freedom for Americans. “Freedom has only one enemy, and that is negligence,” Heston said. The late cinema icon lays out his point with clarity and power in this edition of LibertyPen.

Political Correctness

Will Hollywood ever again give us right-thinking and conservative stars like Charlton Heston and John Wayne? Probably not. This generation’s stars are squishy, bandwagon liberal hacks lacking both the intelligence and the independence to think for themselves. In the absence of any stars of the caliber of Heston or Wayne, we’re left to go back to the source.

Here’s a definitive speech that Heston gave at Brandeis University in 2000 touching on the issues of political correctness, common sense, gun policies and the need to always challenge authority. Heston’s words ring just as true today as back then. H/T LibertyPen
