The fundamental interconnectedness of all things
I could make a case that it’s only logical that if I ask youtube to track my viewing habits in order to feed me with good “recommendeds” and it’s working … and if I watched a few Bourne reactions before loading the three I did, plus Tammly’s comment about ‘The Bourne Interminability’ … that somewhere along the line, various Supremacy Outtakes would also be recommended.
There’s another case I could make of the wise who do not dismiss the metaphysical realm and if He in control wanted me to see what treachery actually entailed, then it would be good to show me the first two outtakes in the first four and a half minutes:
In the first, Ezra Kramer is up before a congressional committee which questions him about the now defunct Treadstone of the first film, upgraded now to Blackbriar. He states that the law specifically forbids the CIA being involved in political assassinations, he fully agrees and would do anything to root out any he found. The committee receive it well.
In the second outtake, he sends a message that Pam Landy is to see him immediately, he drops the Treadstone dossier on her, asks why it happened, also if she had been for or against what had happened. She said she was against. Right answer, morally … wrong answer for job security … he sacks her.
Noah Voson turns up as she’s packing … no hard feelings, he says. Knowing what we now know, they could not afford to have anyone with a conscience around, so as part of “cleaning house”, she was the sacrificial lamb. Kramer and Voson are both in it up to their necks, had been from the beginning … a terrorist factory.
It would have skewed the rest of the film and precluded the ending they kept … also, it’s far harsher in the outtakes, Kramer’s role in the agency dirty in the extreme … thus it does not sit well, even in 2025 … esp. in 2025.
DJT, I’m sure, cannot getting his head around someone being other than what he/she says. He can understand lies to protect oneself, evasion, any of those tactics and reactions. What he was truly taken in by were people with pedigrees, the right stuff … they walked it, talked it, were the right type … except they were not. They were total snakes.
I don’t mean overt snakes such as McConnell, Graham, Murkowski, Collins … known-knowns … but those seen by all as good guys of honour … actually being the diametric opposite … they literally betray leader and country.
