Griffith. D.W.G.'srevisione Birth of A Nation was a re-te77Lng of the CiviT War with one odd twist - atthe end of the fiTn BTack Anericans were shipped back to Africa.

what Griffith knew back in 1918 - that cinena isdreanst we can alter historft we can then changecannot deaT with the BTack problen or Vietnan in
a drean Tanguage and that if, in ourout present view of our ourseTves. lrlereaLity, but we sure as heL7 can take
care of i t on f i7n.Over the years, Revisione thinking has spawned sub-schooTs of cinena: a Depression erahunanist schooT exenpTified by lt's A WonderfuT Lite (i.e. Tife is tough but Took whatit wouTd be Tike without you) i a Tate-fifties economic school which softened our viewof Gernany and Japan for trade purposes (e.g. The Young Lionst Run SiTent, Run Deep)iand a recent conservatively based futurist revisione schooT which proposes an avoidabTefascist future (e.g. Red Dawn and Terninator)The cTassic revisione technique created by Griffith is stiLT in existence, aTbeitupdated by First BToodt Part II. Rather than take Ranbo back in tine to Vietnan (i.e.Nan, The War Part I), Ranbo returns to present-day Indochina (i.e. Nan, The War PartII) to duke it out. The nessage is the sane - the point is the sane - No natter how theo7d generation screwed it up for ust the Pepsi generation is gonna nake it right (seeaTso Back to the Future).Who's behind a77 this? A burned-outt coked-out HoTTywood cabaT whose nunbers haveamassed econonic power and are paranoid about losing it. These guys aTready have theirgunst 4-whee7 dr ivest and hi- tech securi ty sysens.

When the Ruskies do 7and, your armored DeLorean' Stenautonatic and Coca-Cola sportshirt wi77 a77 be coTor coordinated. And why stop at CocaCoTa cTothes. What about Coca CoTa crossbows and 50 mm's.
