All-Day Permanent Red: Alex Cox and the Long March of American Militarism

didnt read the whole article but it looks very interesting. thanks to dre for the story...


This is the kind of cognitive dissonance evoked by a new screenplay from renowned director Alex Cox: "Our War Against Canada." The British-born Cox - long resident in the United States - is planning a three-part, 90-minute documentary on the all-too-true story of serious American plans to wage war against Canada, Mexico and Great Britain in the years before World War II. These detailed schemes are filled with "echoes from the future," in Pasternak's apt phrase: eerie prefigurements and deep-rooted patterns that have been played out - in reality, not just on paper - over and over down through the decades, and now confront us once again, most starkly and horribly, in Iraq.
