Reply #6: 8. Bush has been using "1984" and "Babylon 5" as blueprints [View All]

Reason #4312 why George W. Bush is a complete moron

J. Michael Straczynski, creator of Babylon 5, tells of a visit to the White House {and this is relevant, trust me}, where he was informed by a White House employee whose name escapes me {JMS posted this, it shouldn't be too hard to track it down}, that President Bush wanted him to know that he watched and enjoyed Babylon 5.

On hearing of the creation of Homeland Security, my first thought was to wonder if Mr. Bush realized that the Home Guard {with whom Homeland Security shares some scary characteristics} were the bad guys! Then, when ABC announced the creation of "Threat Matrix", I flashed on Babylon 5's propaganda ads for the Psi Corps, and the use of the Interstellar News Service to proclaim government sanctioned news and events {and promote organizations like the Ministry of Peace, and the Home Guard}.
