Dreyfus is guilty!

As recently as the 1960's the above had a shocking political impact (see Z, the great political thriller).

But today Dreyfus is as forgotten as the French General Staff wished him on Devil's Island.

Last night TCM ran the Paul Muni film about Dreyfus and Zola. It was an amazing film -- the elephant in the bedroom was never mentioned and if you did not know why Dreyfus was different the film would not even hint at it.

And perhaps today that is still an issue. Bias is, to use the phrase, 'at the edge of a sentence'. Unspoken but understood -- yet undefined and impossible to pin down.

Hollywood has been a center for the production of propaganda for many years. Since Dreyfus was "different" the presumption should be that he was guilty. The 'different" aren't treasonous in their own minds, they know where their loyalty lies. It mostly is not to whatever country they happen to be born in.
