Freedom -- We have something shocking to say

• Brace yourself. We have something shocking to say.
• Our President is inside The Big Fix, a rigged game of sorts, in which the players ultimately lose and the house takes the spoils. ('The Big Fix' is also the name of our new movie, which opens this week in New Orleans, next week in Los Angeles and on December 2nd in New York City -- details, screening times and theaters at the end of this letter).
