This review of Aaron Sorkin’s film The Trial of the Chicago 7 by Miles Mathis expresses surprise at its seemingly pro-hippie, anti-police, and anti-government stance, contrary to the reviewer’s expectation that Netflix would “whitewash” Abbie Hoffman and “blackwash” hippies. The film’s depiction of former Attorney General Ramsey Clark admitting police caused the Chicago riots is highlighted as a significant element. Mathis argues that the riots were staged, citing the lack of lawsuits and settlements as evidence, and draws parallels to current BLM riots, suggesting both are manufactured to instill fear and deter protests. He posits that the film’s portrayal of events, particularly Judge Julius Hoffman’s alleged misconduct, is actually toned down from reality. The review delves into extensive genealogical research, suggesting Abbie Hoffman’s real name, Abbot Howard Hoffman, links him to prominent Stuarts and British peerage, and that many of the defendants, including Tom Hayden, Lee Weiner, and Bobby Seale, were of Jewish descent and potentially connected to intelligence agencies. William Kunstler, the defense attorney, is also identified as a CIA agent. Mathis concludes that the film serves as an homage to Hoffman and clark, possibly indicating an internal conflict within the “Phoenician Navy” or “ruling families,” which he believes has been escalating since 2001 and may be masked by events like the COVID-19 pandemic and staged riots.
