The Extreme Dangers of Nepotism written into that . . .
11 July 2018
Warning: Spoilers
. . . moldy, Racist "Suicide Pact" from the 1700s (aka, the initial U.S. Constitution)--under which America still suffered through the early years of the 21st Century--is the core focus of this timely Warning from the Past on the part of the always eponymous Warner Bros. During JOHN PAUL JONES, the title character is thwarted at every turn by fat cat family flunkies thriving in the proprietary seas of their own incompetence. Rich People Greed again and again stymies JOHN PAUL JONES' heroic efforts to build an American Meritocracy based upon Democratic Values. These Evil Trilaterals' insistence upon selfish in-breeding among their own kind even throws up roadblocks in JOHN PAUL JONES' love life, first with "Dorothea Danders;" then with "Aimee Bourbon." Warner's clairvoyant prognosticators obviously are extrapolating JOHN PAUL JONES' sorry state of affairs (and sad affairs of state) to a day in (their) Far Future (i.e., our Present) in which an Oval Office Occupant will appoint First Daughter "Buy Her Stuff" to oversee his industrial-scale child kidnap and trafficking mob, while assigning his sons to initiate a private line to the Russian KGB as his son-in-law continues to launder a stolen TRILLION for the Demon Czar and his Oligarch Henchmen (this being forecast by an equally prophetic "Catherine the Great" in pithy comments too graphic to be subtitled for JOHN PAUL JONES' original 1959 audience, or close-captioned for we Modern People of Today).
