Well well well.
"Screenwriter Dalton Trumbo was
blacklisted at the time as one of the
Hollywood Ten.
Kirk Douglas publicly announced that Trumbo was the screenwriter of Spartacus, and President
John F. Kennedy crossed
picket lines to see the film, helping to end blacklisting.[SUP]
[2][/SUP][SUP]
[3][/SUP] The author of the novel on which it is based,
Howard Fast, was also blacklisted, and originally had to self-publish it."

Oh that terrible man! Maybe he was with some bimbo at the time. Which would be the main story of course.......:

Speaking of Kirk Douglas - He wanted to make a film of the book Seven Days in May, and Kennedy told him he supported the idea:
"A voice next to me said, "do you intend to make a movie out of Seven Days in May?"
I turned. President Kennedy! "Yes, Mr. President."
"Good." He spent the next twenty minutes, while our dinner got cold, telling me that he thought it would make an excellent movie." (Kirk Douglas, Ragman's Son, p349)

Then Trumbo wrote the screenplay for Executive Action.
This Trumbo stuff is good to trumpet to the victims of the left-gatekeepers when they tell us what a died in The Desmond Fitzgerald's daughter's The Nation Cold Warrior JFK was.
The left-gatekeepers must be confronted on every front. People still don't get the impact of these not real leftists but fake or stupid magazine readers have ON THE ENTIRE SPECTRUM.
More and more I realize that had the left-gatekeepers been SYSTEMATICALLY CONFRONTED far earlier, we would have made far more progress on making the JFK assassination, which really is about the National Security State-- actionable intelligence.
Please post left-gatekeeping articles on this thread so that I can confront them.

Trumbo also wrote the most powerful anti -war novel of all time "Johnny Got His Gun". It was banned in the US for decades.

Dawn, what is your source for that? I've heard that Trumbo voluntarily suspended publication of the book during WWII, but it was not banned for decades. A film based on it was made in the early 70s.
