Geoff Botkin: Hollywood and Marxism

A lady in the audience just asked Mr. Botkin a question on how Hollywood arrived where it is today. His answer referred back to a session he gave at the past two film festivals, called Hollywood’s Most Despised Villain. I decided to pull out my notes from last year to give a fuller picture of the answer Mr. Botkin gave today.
Mr. Botkin shares countless, powerful, chilling quotations by Marxists of the past century, whose goal in cultural warfare was targeted towards two institutions: The cinema, and the public school system. Consider the following quotes:
John Dewey, father of progressive education: “Literacy is the greatest obstacle to socialism.”
Vladimir Lenin: “Of all the arts, the motion picture is the most important.”
Leon Trotsky: “This weapon [cinema], which cries out to be used, is the best instrument for political propaganda, which cuts into the memory and may be made a possible source of revenue.”
Severneya Pravda: “We are obliged… to make amusement a weapon of collective education. The cinema competes with the church. This rivalry may become fatal for the church. The cinema liberates you from the need of crossing the church door. Here is an instrument we must secure.”
As Mr. Botkin said, “It was the perfect instrument of indoctrination because it was so well suited to create an entire society more blatantly devoted to the gratification of sensory desires at the expense of masculine responsibility and achievement.”
A few more quotes:
Otto Gross: “If Jezebel had not been defeated by Elijah, world history would have been different and better. Jezebel was Babylon. By killing her, monotheistic moralism drove pleasure from the world.”
Mr. Gross, once again, stated that one of his visions was “to start a sexual revolution to destroy the bourgeois, patriarchal family.”
Mr. Botkin further points out that the Soviet’s intelligence operation code-named Hollywood as “Babylon.”
To show the Marxist’s great power and influence in Hollywood, Mr. Botkin shared several quotes, inlcuding this by screenwriter-director Philip Dunne, in his 1980 memoirs, “All over town the industrious communist tail wagged the lazy liberal dog.”
This is hardly a taste of the information being shared in this lecture… Mr. Botkin, a former Marxist himself, has studied this issue for over 10 years, and his knowledge and wisdom is incredible. The implications of the revelations shown in this session are astounding.
We wonder what has happened to society and why Hollywood is leading the way downward… The answer is chilling. It was planned, strategized, and calculated for decades upon decades by those who hate Christianity and all the values represented by Scripture. It was, as one author put it, “far and away the most successful psychological warfare operation ever launched against the West.”

The sad part of all this is…when you point these things out, the screaming starts about “McCarthyism” and “blacklisting.” Try and have a discussion about this over at the IMDb message boards. They go nuts.
Ann Coulter did a column not too long ago on the premise that McCarthy was right more often than not.

Mr. Botkin talked about how Marxism is also effecting the church in America at the Uniting Church and Family conference. It’s can be down right scary how Marxism is infiltrating the church.

What about Bollywood (india) has Mr Botkin studied anything or what is produced there? Are the indian movie makers heading in the same direction as hollywood?
