Movie Review: Brotherhood of Murder (Don't Waste Money on this Crap!)
I had seen Brotherhood of Murder advertised and just from the name I realized it was probably going to be an attack on The Order. Trying to make out those proud white patriots were mentally ill murderers and probably worse. From what I read online I found out that it was based on the autobiography of Thomas Martinez, the traitor who betrayed The Order when faced with counterfeiting charges.
He now cashes in on his minimal involvement with his book, no doubt royalties from this film and also public speaking. (Keppler Speakers, Tom Martinez)All that said, when I saw a copy going pretty cheap I decided to buy it, mostly because I figured there would probably be some footage that I could rip and use in an order tribute video.
I did however have a sneaking suspicion that the man who played Robert Mathews would be non white. This is a common trick the Jews like to use, take for example: Tim Roth who played Trevor in Made In Britain, Jew Edward Furlong who played Danny Vinyard American History X, Mexican and possibly red Indian ancestry Stephen Graham who played Combo in This is England, quarter Negro.When I looked it up it turned out Robert Mathews was played by Peter Gallagher who is of an Irish Catholic background. However he did play a Jewish public defender and corporate lawyer Sandy Cohen on the Fox television show The O.C. from 2003 to 2007. Coincidence or conspiracy? Take your pick.
So the when the DVD arrived I wasn't expecting much apart from slanderous propaganda, and that's exactly what I got. One thing I should add before I begin is that names were changed to allow the film company to lie through there front teeth. Only a handful of the characters in the film are actually given there real names. However, that said, it is pretty obvious 'Larry Martin' is based on David Lane, and I'm sure someone who knew more about The Order than me would be able to decipher the rest.The film begins with Thomas Martinez as a young man, with a pregnant wife struggling to make ends meet. After losing his job he meets Walter West in a bar who invites him to a meeting. Walter is shown in a different light to the other members of The Order. With his soft accent and ways he is bumbling but likable, probably the only character apart from Martinez that the audience is likely to empathize with (this will become important later on in the film). Robert Mathews, although noted for being a friendly and likable man by almost all who met him is portrayed as being pretty cold and detached.
After meeting Robert Mathews, The Order is shown in a positive light, however this is short lived. All its members apart from Martinez and West are shown as been ruthless psychopaths especially 'Charlie Higgins'. The next part of the film is pretty much dedicated to slandering Robert Mathews in every way imaginable. He is shown forcing Walter West to eat apple pie even though he protests, then laughing as he runs outside to throw up. He is also shown bullying his wife over her weight and even watching inter-racial porn! Zillah Craig (who Mathews fathered a child with) is also shown as being a child between 12 and 14. She was actually 31 at the time!!! So this is pure lies.The death of Walter West is another attempt to portray The Order as 'bad'. As I stated before, West is presented as an highly likable person who the audiences see only in a positive light. His killing is undoubtedly designed to further turn them against The Order.
After this, Martinez is shown making a call to the FBI and then bombing a strip club. I am not sure if either of these events happened, but judging by the other lies told in the film I am inclined to think they were fictional.When Martinez is pulled in (over the counterfeit money) his confession is shown not as a desperate man trying to save his own skin, but as one rejecting the 'evil racist' organization he had been sucked in by.
The film then continues to his betrayal of Mathews at the hotel room. Interestingly, in one scene Mathews is on the bed and 'Charlie Higgins' is sleeping on the floor. This is pretty funny as, in an interview for TV, a member of The Order said that, if in a hotel room, Mathews would always take the floor and give his comrade the bed.The film ends with the famous siege on Whidbey Island, then there is a short epilogue. After which the film with so many lies, ends with yet another. It suggests Martinez and his family now live in hiding! Well as I pointed out in my introduction, this is a blatant lie as he has written a book, appeared on T.V numerous times and gives highly priced talks.
The film is probably the worst peace of propaganda I have ever seen.Movie Critic
