    THE BOOK OF ELI is currently the #1 featured movie on ⁦‪Max‬⁩ which is great. Not so great? The writing credit still lists three people who were not writers of the film, while omitting me, the sole writer of the film.

    After watching The Book of Eli, Trump started selling King James Bibles. He had to watch that movie, right? Remember the Bible line: 'It’s not a fucking book! It’s a weapon aimed at the weak & desperate. It will give us control of them!’ And now he’s got X / Meta. It’s all about brainwashing. —GCG

    The movie The Book of Eli coincides eerily with President Trump’s God Bless the USA Bible. Consider this line from the movie: “It’s not a [f**king] book! It’s a weapon! A weapon aimed right at the hearts and minds of the weak and the desperate. It will give us control of them.”

    In the movie, The Book Of Eli, an evil man tried to steal a copy of the Bible, because he knew the power it would gift him. When he opened the book, he found he could not read it. This is the parable of the christo-fascists today. They seek the power but cannot read the words (nor do they care).
