Review: the Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, by Trevor Lynch
The Unz Review - Mar 25th 2021 12:32pm EDTJohn Ford’s last great film The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) enjoys the status of a classic.

The Unz Review - Mar 23rd 2021 12:02pm EDTIt took 18 years after Shock and Awe unleashed on Iraq for the Hegemon to be mercilessly shocked and awed by a virtually simultaneous, diplomatic Russia-China one-two.
