Watched a rather bizarre movie the other day, The November Men (1993), that purports to be about a director (Paul Williams) making a docudrama about a plot to kill the president. The man’s a radical leftwinger as it is and is angry that the leftwing is too cowardly to do anything about rightwingers in office. The rightwing, however, are gun-toting psychos and have no problem bumping off leftwing politicians. The problems ensue almost immediately because the director’s wife (Leslie Bevis) begins to suspect this isn’t a movie at all but a real plot to kill the president, telling the Secret Service, who in turn insist on nabbing them all in the act.

Weirder still, some of the people the director has hired for the movie seem to have their own agendas. One is an out-of-work Marine who can’t pay his bills. While a conservative, he’s fuming at being dumped by the current cost-cutting president, George Bush Sr.

Oswald was an ex-Marine, so you get the picture. Second on the list are two Arabs hired to play incompetent terrorists trying to blow up the president’s motorcade using a toy helicopter carrying plastic explosives.

NO LAUGHING MATTER: This supposed docudrama not only reveals how they killed JFK but answers questions yet to be asked about Charlie Kirk.

It’s a hilarious movie, and you become suspicious of the Secret Service themselves, since they’ve got their own man on the inside, documenting it all in his own movie about the making of this movie. The film gives ‘meta’ a whole new meaning, even by today’s post-modernist standards.

The storyline also utilises dream sequences to disorient you even further, making you question what’s real life and what’s fiction. James Andronica's performance as Duggo, the disgruntled Marine, is particularly heartbreaking.

You can see why a conservative patriot can literally go over the edge, maltreated both by the people he served and society as a whole. And he’s a Vietnam vet who also fought in Desert Storm – to add insult to injury.

As for the main Arab terrorist dude, Lahoud, he’s played by the Egyptian Elsayed Badrya, who has since become famous for playing the comical or stereotypical Arab terrorist from The Insider to Iron Man. (Lahoud actually sounds like a Lebanese name.)

There’s a big plot twist at the end of the movie that I don’t want to spoil for you, so I won’t. But here are two things you absolutely have to know—the first concerns, yet again, Charlie Kirk.

In a key sequence in the movie, Duggo kills an obnoxious neighbour who doesn’t show him any respect and keeps the volume too high when his baby girl is trying to sleep. The calibre rifle he uses takes the guy’s head off, almost splattering it into non-existence.

The strange thing is that nobody hears the supersonic crack from the rifle. The police themselves are befuddled with all their experience. But the director, an old-time buddy of Duggo, figures it out. All you have to do to stop the target from hearing the shot is fire from very, very, very far away.

The calibre of the sniper rifle used can do that. Duggo was hiding in the forest beyond the city, from an elevated position. (Check out the latest revelations on a second shooter in the Kirk assassination, with a different carbine entirely.)

THE ACCUSED: Egyptian American Sayed Badreya, from self-made actor to Hollywood-made stereotype. Gangster or terrorist, take your pick?

The second interesting revelation relates to the current war on Lebanon by Israel, and the successes Hezbollah has been having with fibre-optic drones that the Israelis can’t hack into or jam. They aren’t radio-controlled after all.

Well, Duggo himself tells the ‘hired’ Arab terrorists that their hare-brained scheme won’t work because the presidential detail always has a Blackhawk helicopter in the vicinity that jams all signals specifically to stop something remote-controlled threatening the president.

The Arab dudes respond in kind and use a toy helicopter with wires controlling it. And this was way back when, in 1993!

How did the moviemakers anticipate what’s happening right now? And not just drone tech but, again, the forensic controversies surrounding the slaying of Charlie Kirk, in broad daylight in front of everybody.

Another hint from this movie-within-a-movie is that there is a decoy, a possible patsy. Again, the director hires a political activist, in this case an African American, as a distraction from where the real sniper is.

The guy has a perch to shoot from himself, inside a building, whereas the proper sniper is on a rooftop with no obstructions. How convenient and appropriate. And a cover-up ensues too, after Duggo is gunned down incorrectly.

The plots-within-plots are there for satirical and meta-narrative purposes, true enough. Still, you also suspect this is a commentary on what actually happened on 22 November 1963 in Dallas, Texas.

Law enforcement in America is obsessed with risking an actual crime happening, to catch someone red-handed and get accolades and budget appropriations. So that explains Secret Service complicity.

Then there’s the whole folklore surrounding the Kennedy assassination, which is that there was a false flag operation going on. A fake assassination meant to implicate Castro in an attempt on the president’s life, and so justify another invasion.

It’s not clear if this was a cover story all along, meant to distract the authorities and put real assassins in place. Or if it was a genuine operation that was hijacked by the real conspirators, working behind the scenes.

I’m more inclined to believe it was a cover story, but after watching this upside-down movie, anything’s possible. Getting people on the inside to do something nefarious is part of the ABC’s of intelligence work anyway.

If the false flag was part of Operation Mongoose, including Cuban exiles, CIA operatives and Mafioso, that might explain the cover-up by Bobby Kennedy himself. And the mafia guys who later got bumped off, including Johnny Roselli – a Hollywood guy himself.

PATRIOTISM ON HOLD: Sabrina Fair Andronica plays the infant version of Duggo's daughter in November Men. Now there's a cause worth fighting for!

Former CIA man Larry Johnson started sceptical of the Kirk assassination but now believes wholeheartedly it was a conspiracy. He also believes the FBI fumbled the ball, most likely on the track of an assassination plot they wanted to nab in the act.

He’s also highlighted false intelligence about supposed connections between Tyler Robinson’s family and Ukraine. (The official trans motive for the murder is also falling apart as the case proceeds.)

A meta-narrative within a meta-narrative. Just minus the humour!
