Did the presstitute who wrote this OP actually watch the film?...Raymond Shaw character was a tool of conspirators within the US power elite led by Mrs. Eleanor Shaw Iselin and her husband John. Remind you of anyone?
The film exposes the duplicity of the US power establishment and their contempt for democracy and the people of the United States. However, the current reality with the potential for a coup in the US - demonstrates that fact is much worse than fiction.
