Seven Days in May, by Doug “Uncola” Lynn

There has never been anything quite like the Deep State’s open and illegal attempt to depose President Trump. From Doug “Uncola” Lynn at theburningplatform.com:

As the political coup against President Donald Trump continues, I was recently reminded of a 1964 film entitled Seven Days in May starring Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas, Fredric March, and Ava Gardner.  Paradoxically, the screenplay was written by Rod Serling, the same guy who created and narrated The Twilight Zone.

Coincidence?  But I digress.

Serling’s screenplay was, in fact, based upon the novel of the same name that was written by the authors Fletcher Knebel and Charles W. Bailey II.  Published during the first year of John F. Kennedy’s presidency, the book was actually read by JFK who not only shared it with those in his circle, but also encouraged the production of the film.  Unfortunately, however, President Kennedy never lived to see the movie play on the big screen.

 The story of Seven Days In May describes a coup d’etat against a sitting president who desired peace with the Russians. Those behind the conspiracy believed the Russians could not be trusted and therefore took matters into their own hands by way of a scheme dubbed ECOMCON (Emergency Communications Control).  The strategy was to assume command over America’s telephone, communications, radio, and television networks in an attempt to forestall the president’s plan from being implemented by Congress.The plot seems eerily familiar, no?

The narrator of the film’s classic movie trailer frames it thusly:

 

There are some who will say:  ‘It can never happen here’.  But this is the story of how it could happen in seven days of intrigue, of blackmail, of terror; an eternity of suspense.  This is the astounding story of a military plot to overthrow the government of the United States; which, if successful, will change the fate of every American.

Does life imitate art?  You decide.

One response to “Seven Days in May, by Doug “Uncola” Lynn

  1. Actually the president would be at best described as an naive idealist, at worst as an Obama in whiteface. I could understand why such a president would have rattled anyone. I fail to see any similarities between the current situation and 7 days in May. For one thing the men acting against the president were motivated by honest fears and patriotism, misguided it may be argued.

    No one could make that argue for any of the individuals involved in the treason we see today.
