The Bruce Lee legend never fades but it might surprise some to learn that among his legion of fans was Chairman Mao, who called him a hero.
Chairman Mao Zedong (1893-1976) and Bruce Lee the martial arts legend (1940-1973) both declared – in their unique ways – that the Chinese people had “stood up”.

I grew up watching dubbed martial arts movies, as my dad was a fan of Bruce Lee.
FYI, I don’t know why this was unpublished. I didn’t do it.

Five Blockbuster Movies Secretly Co-Written By the Pentagon
It is called the military-entertainment-complex. The Pentagon is deeply involved in the production of pop culture, from spy shows and war movies, to light entertainment like “The Price is Right” and “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” the military has had a hand in shaping them all.

Tag Us: The US Military Updates Its Contracts With Hollywood
In late 2020 I put in a FOIA request with the Pentagon for records on their support to Operation Christmas Drop – a ‘romantic’ Christmas movie starring the US military. Three years on and they’ve finally released the contract they signed with the film-makers, which reveals how the office updated its approach post-Phil Strub.

At 60, We’re Winning – and Losing – the JFK Media War
Twelve days ago, I was asked by the Opinion section of the New York Times to write an essay on the JFK assassination nearly 60 years later. This was a major breakthrough because the newspaper of record has always embraced the official version of the assassination, even as the Warren Report, based on the “magic bullet” and all that nonsense, has grown increasingly tattered over the years. In 2015, when The Devil’s Chessboard — my book about CIA spymaster Allen Dulles and the national security state’s war with President Kennedy — was published, the Times refused to review it. (Nonetheless, the book was a New York Times bestseller.)

Vladimir Putin Promotes Traditional Culture over “Cancel” Culture – English Subtitles
Russian President Vladimir Putin addresses the plenary session of the 9th St Petersburg International Cultural Forum – the Forum of United Cultures.
His opening remarks note the value of traditional national culture in forms of art, literature, music, language, and values, while noting the growing trend in Western countries of “cancel culture” that, in his view, deviates from historical development and contribution.
This opening address is part of a two-hour segment devoted to the St. Petersburg International Cultural Forum, which Putin was the main guest at the Plenary Session.
The remaining parts will be uploaded in 25 – 30 minute segments that include questions and comments from participating members of the audience.
The whole series is available in a new Playlist “2023 St. Petersburg International Cultural Forum“.
