Star Wars Revenge Of The Sith Meets The NSA ScandalDigby Jones Several scenes drew laughs and jokes as they were first uttered on the big screen. One of the most memorable was a confrontational scene between Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, in which Anakin gives his former master the harsh ultimatum if you are not with me, then you are my enemy, a line which was a direct reference to Bushs post-September 11 threat to all countries of the world Either you are with us, or you are with the enemy. Now, eight years later in the year 2013, Revenge of the Sith brings to light (or shall I say the dark side?) yet another parallel to the modern politics of the Obama Administration and the Edward Snowden / NSA scandal. To refresh your memory, in this film the primary antagonist is Senator Palpatine (who is really Darth Sidious), a man who manipulates the Senate and enlists the Jedi Councils patriotism to defend the Republic against a separatist army that he secretly directs. The purpose of these false-flag orchestrated wars is to erode liberty in the Republic in the name of security (wink wink). The nave Jedi (lets just call them fine upstanding citizens) catch on too late and are decimated. The Republic falls and the galaxy (Earth) is then ruled under the iron fist of the Empire, who presumably installs pro-imperial puppet regimes in other planets (countries) and subjugates their citizens to a life of poverty and toil, while their resources are plundered all in the name of spreading democracy. Thats a bad, bad America! I mean..Empire. Thats a bad, bad, Empire! Listen carefully and you will see the creepy resemblance. On a final note this is not intended to demean Mr. Snowden in any way, he is a true hero of OUR Republic for bringing to light this important issue. This article first appeared on Ingenious Press.
