"Invasion of the Body Snatchers is a 1978 American science-fiction horror film[1] directed by Philip Kaufman, and starring
Donald Sutherland,
Brooke Adams, Veronica Cartwright, Jeff Goldblum, and Leonard Nimoy.
Released on December 22, 1978, it is based on the 1955 novel The Body Snatchers by Jack Finney. The novel was previously adapted into the 1956 film of the same name.
The plot involves a San Francisco health inspector and his colleague who over the course of a few days discover that humans are being replaced by alien duplicates;
each is a perfect biological clone of the person replaced, but
devoid of empathy and humanity."

RIP Donald Sutherland.
I saw this when it came out in 1978. Man was it scary.
"It's not a caper it's a rat turd!"
Donald the health inspector in a NY kitchen.
The obvious parallel with modern times is the Cell Phone. People stare at their gadget everywhere. Probably in church, I wouldn't know. At the park, with their children. Walking their dog.
Sitting like I'm doing now. Shopping. Self entertaining. We can hide from news or embrace whatever distraction we please. Saudi golf galas. Arguing to no end over over everything. Distraction DUI of the celebrity. Record breaking heat and massive flooding, yawn, not in the mood.
It's not a communist conspiracy, Invasion of the Body Snatchers. It is fascism however. It's happened, it's happening, it turns as the world turns, a guiding light.
Fascism, private ownership of government, corporate rule, misogyny, class warfare, anti intellectualism, glorification of violence, sponsoring genocide, racism, consumer worship.
Fascism.

"Ginsburg was Jewish, as are Breyer and Kagan.
Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Sotomayor, and Kavanaugh are Catholic.
Justice Gorsuch is Episcopalian, but is a “fallen away” Catholic.'
"For its first 180 years, justices were almost always white male Protestants of Anglo or Northwestern European descent"
"Liu found that among federal appellate judges, 45.1 percent were Protestant, 28.2 percent were Catholic, 19 percent were Jewish, and 5.1 percent were Mormon."
"He was bragging amongst executives about how great the guy was and he was a real gentleman and so neat and clean and then he looked at a couple of our executives who happen to be Jewish, and he said,
‘Watch out for this guy, he sort of remembers the ovens,’
and then smiled,” said Res, who left her role in 1998 after she claimed Trump mistreated her and other employees.
The comment left the group dumbfounded according to Res.
“Everybody was shocked,” she said. “I cannot believe he said that..
He was making a joke about the Nazi ovens and eating people.”
