There is no question that Christian Bale delivered a very impressive performance of how Dick Cheney really is \u2013 a secretive and distant man whose eyes were always filled with naked contempt. Amy Adams gave a fantastic performance as well and captured the real character of the former Second Lady Lynne Cheney who was very much like her husband\u00a0\u2013 ambitious, and equally just as\u00a0ruthless.<\/p>\n<p>While the film captures the reality of what took place, it completely misses the real story behind the scenes as to even how Cheney came to be Vice President. The film shows that he was out of politics and had effectively retired for some time. It pretends that George Bush called him to be his Vice President and they negotiate that Cheney will have most of the power and Bush was too stupid to understand what he was agreeing to.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/lrc-cdn\/assets\/2018\/12\/Time-Yeltsin1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-699405\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/lrc-cdn\/assets\/2018\/12\/Time-Yeltsin1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"486\" height=\"602\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/lrc-cdn\/assets\/2018\/12\/Time-Yeltsin1.jpg 486w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/lrc-cdn\/assets\/2018\/12\/Time-Yeltsin1-121x150.jpg 121w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/lrc-cdn\/assets\/2018\/12\/Time-Yeltsin1-242x300.jpg 242w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 486px) 100vw, 486px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As always, for whatever reason, I seem to be always in the middle of just about every major event for the past 30+ years. I have stated before that I was asked to fly around the country and meet with Republicans who wanted to run for President. Prior to 1999, they were told I was there to advise them on the world\u00a0economy and how it functioned. I have been to White House dinners and testified before Congress. I have taken calls from Washington in times of crisis. So meeting with people who wanted to run for President was nothing unusual for me.<span class=\"amazon-element-wrapper-custom align-right\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"amazon-element-med-image\"><span class=\"amazon-image-wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Ship-Fools-Selfish-Bringing-Revolution\/dp\/1501183664?SubscriptionId=AKIAI63WS3YGA3Y5U2QA&amp;tag=lrc18-20&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;camp=2025&amp;creative=165953&amp;creativeASIN=1501183664\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51fZv%2Bs54lL.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"amazon-image amazon-image-medium\"\/><\/a><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"amazon-element-title\"><span class=\"appip-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Ship-Fools-Selfish-Bringing-Revolution\/dp\/1501183664?SubscriptionId=AKIAI63WS3YGA3Y5U2QA&amp;tag=lrc18-20&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;camp=2025&amp;creative=165953&amp;creativeASIN=1501183664\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Ship of Fools: How a S&#8230;<\/a><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"amazon-element-author\">Tucker Carlson<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"amazon-element-lowest-used\"><span class=\"appip-lowest-used\"><span class=\"appip-label label-lowest-used\">Best Price: <\/span>$5.50<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"amazon-element-formatted-price\"><span class=\"appip-formatted-price\"><span class=\"appip-label label-formatted-price\">Buy New <\/span>$13.10<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"amazon-element-disclaimer-new\"><span style=\"display:block;color:#888;font-size: .80em; padding: 0 0 3px 0;\">(as of 08:40&#8230;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lewrockwell.com\/2019\/01\/martin-armstrong\/vice-the-dick-cheney-rumsfeld-conspiracy\/\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ufeff I went to go watch\u00a0VICE\u00a0\u2013 the story about how Dick Cheney took over the government with\u00a0the aid of his wife \u2013 Lynne Cheney.\u00a0Vice\u00a0is a film that seeks to bring complicated information about the inner corruption in Washington and transform it into a digestible and entertaining format.
