The radicals of the Right emerged during the Reagan years with likes of Jack Abramoff, Ralph Reed and their contemporaries: college Republicans who supported South Africa during apartheid, the UNITA in Angola, the Mujahedeen in Afghanistan, the Contras in Central America. They formed Right wing think tanks to be able to influence policy, and engineered public consent through propaganda in films. Abramoff and his brother wrote and produced, "Red Sorpian", in which a Soviet assassin changes sides when he discovers the evils of communism. This trend in cinema began in the early 80s with movies like, "First Blood", the first of the "Rambo" franchise by Sylvestor Stallone, who was hiding in Swizterland teaching women aeorobics during the Vietnam War. Not only did these films make money at the box office, but they became recruitment tools. Another business aspect of this was the parternship that began between weapons' manufactureres and Hollywood producers, who used the products of the weapons' industry as the main spark to attract the testosterone-driven, male patriots by erousing them with scenes of mass murder and fantastic explosions. It also made "chicken hawks" like Stallone, Arnold and Bruce Willis as the new cinematic heroes - all of whom who'd never seen or participated in war, ever. By the first Gulf War, even the pundits and newspeople were performing as used car salesmen, drooling at graphics simulating the potential mass destruction of "daisy cutters". And the further advancement in technology, the more the means of propaganda become subtle and fine-tuned to satiate the natural impluse of aggression, and to fullfil the second-nature of the cosumer societey by selling fear, weapons and war. And as far as the Constitution and international law are concerned, Chomsky points out "it doesn't apply to the owners of the world."
