What Was the Cold War?

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: August 13, 2018

The decades-long “Cold War” (1947-1989) between the United States and the Soviet Union was so named because the two global powers never came to direct blows. Yet, the war was not without its victims. In fact, millions of Cubans, Koreans and Vietnamese suffered under Communist tyranny. In this video, Renowned British historian Andrew Roberts […]

Control the Words, Control the Culture

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: April 30, 2018

Cops Are the Good Guys

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: April 16, 2018

Are cops perfect? Of course not. And no one should expect them to be. But every single day, under the most difficult conditions, the police protect us from the bad guys. In other words, they do their job and they do it well. Former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke makes it very clear: cops […]

American Media Cheers Stalinist Propaganda at the Olympics

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: February 13, 2018

Ever since President Trump won the election the left has been spreading the dopey fantasy that America is now living in The Handmaid’s Tale. A world where regiments of red clad women live at the whim of a totalitarian state. The recent film, a turgid piece of left wing propaganda (based on a clunky novel […]

Who Will Google Silence Next?

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: February 12, 2018

Google and YouTube dominate internet search with over 75% of the market. If you disappear on Google, your ability to voice your opinion disappears too. PragerU is an educational non-profit that has had over 40 of their videos restricted by YouTube. That’s why they have recently filed a lawsuit against the tech giant. This is […]

How to Be a Conservative

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: July 24, 2017

“Sir Roger Scruton, a formally trained political philosopher, talks about his life and the events he’s witnessed that led him to conservatism. He first embraced conservatism after witnessing the leftist student protests in France in May 1968. During the ensuing riots in Paris, more than three hundred people were injured. Scruton walked away from this […]

Hollywood Joins the Coup

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: May 30, 2017

Over the years Seraphic Secret has pointed out that Hollywood is the greatest machinery of propaganda the world has ever known. If you doubt the veracity of this claim just keep in mind that America only wins wars when Hollywood produces films and TV shows that support the war. There was a time when the […]

Prager U: Who Are the Racists: Conservatives or Liberals?

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: March 16, 2017

This is an older Prager University talk, but it is more relevant then ever now that the left has gone full crazy with their white privilege obsession — in reality, just another anti-American screed.

Purim: The Deeply Anti-Progressive Jewish Holiday

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: March 13, 2017

Yesterday was the holiday of Purim. And it was no accident that in 2015, Benjamin Netanyahu referenced Purim when delivering his powerful address to the U.S. Senate in an unsuccessful bid to curb Obama’s legitimization of a nuclear Iran. Purim is an old ( 5th century B.C.E.) but painfully familiar story: A Jew-hater named Haman […]

Advice for the Next President: Reward Your Friends and Punish Your Enemies

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: November 8, 2016

Barack Obama has left a trail of ruin and misery in his eight year wake. From the collapsing Obamacare to his capitulation to the terrorist regime of Iran, to the abdication of world leadership to Russia and China, Obama and the postmodern Democrats seem intent on only one mission: to turn America into an iron-fisted […]

Advice from Dirty Harry

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: October 27, 2016

“Dustin Hoffman and Al Pacino play losers very well. But my audience like to be in there vicariously with a winner. That isn’t always popular with critics. My characters have sensitivity and vulnerabilities, but they’re still winners. I don’t pretend to understand losers. When I read a script about a loser I think of people […]

Movies as Political Propaganda: The Battle of Algiers, Part I

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: September 28, 2016

Movies are the most powerful tools of social and political propaganda the world has ever known. Consider: America wins wars only when Hollywood supports the conflict and puts itself squarely behind America’s war effort. During World War II, every studio in Hollywood backed the Allied effort against the Axis. Hollywood stars enlisted for active duty, […]

Prager U, Left But Really Right

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: November 3, 2015

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWzEL2Mlr-g[/youtube] Successful liberals live by conservative values. It’s true. The liberal musician, the liberal chef, the liberal writer—all swear by things conservatives love, like competition, earned reward, and, yes, profit and the bottom line. Greg Gutfeld, bestselling author of, “How To Be Right: The Art of Being Persuasively Correct”, explains. Order “How to Be […]

Leftist Media Asks Republicans: When Did You Stop Beating Your Wife?

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: October 29, 2015

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piNaNxr0jo4[/youtube] Last night the mainstream far left media revealed themselves as political assassins disguised as journalists. They were also rude, nasty, condescending, self-righteous, and ignorant. Every question was designed to belittle every GOP candidate on the floor. They didn’t even try and be subtle. They were blunt political instruments — with well-tended hair. This […]

About Me
Robert J. Avrech
Los Angeles, California
I'm an Emmy Award winning screenwriter. I'm also an observant Jew, a religious Zionist, a conservative Republican, and a member of the NRA. I've been writing and producing in Hollywood for over twenty-five years. But the focus of my life is my family: my radiant wife, Karen—with whom I have been in love with since I was nine years-old—and my two daughters, who, thankfully, look like Karen. Not too long ago, we had three children. But our son, Ariel, died at the age of twenty-two from cancer. We miss him terribly. We think about him practically every minute of every day. People tell us that time heals, but Karen and I know this is not true. Time grinds away doing its terrible work. Ariel is gone. Yet absence becomes presence.
