Wag the Dog (1997) was a great film. I'm thinking it was able to slip by the gatekeepers because it was pre-9/11, when such baldfaced manipulation of war and public opinion was still seen as CT stuff. Not so after the Gulf Wars.

This movie was pretty scary back at the height of the Cold War. Scared the shit out of my high school government class, prompting some very heated discussion.

On the Beach (1959), Fail Safe (1964), The Day After (1983) and Threads (1984) are some more Cold War thought provokers to consider. We don't get these kinds of films anymore, just opinion pieces in the NYT about how much more survivable nuclear war would be nowadays. /eyeroll

Ok, watched the video. On the one hand, it's definitely return fire from small town America and would be hard not to characterize as inflammatory. On the other, it highlights a very real cultural divide between small towns and big cities, raising the question of why such civic violence was accepted in the cities. Dems were all in favor of "tolerance" during the violence, but steadfastly refuse to do anything to change the circumstances that give rise to it. Hard not to see the hypocrisy there.

Art should provoke thought and emotion. I think this does that.

People don't care when he's wrong or even an asshole because he's still the only guy in the room willing to call out bullshit and possibly do something about it. He'll continue to be popular as long as he does so. People are desperate for change.

If Biden and his cronies decide to escalate enough to require a draft, we're all in deep shit. "No draft" was one of the things that helped maintain public support and avoid scrutiny during the two Gulf Wars. They've got the bamboozled public flying Ukrainian flags, but they'd need a serious "Remember the Maine!" or Gulf of Tonkin incident to pull off a draft. Losing a carrier in the Black Sea would do it, though.

DSA in damage control after state legislator Mike Connolly calls for raising rent on Massachusetts workers by RandomCollection in WayOfTheBern

[–]LeftyBoyo67 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

"Connolly left the DSA on his own accord after a group of DSA members submitted a motion calling for his expulsion. This was quickly met with an apologetic amendment from eight Boston DSA members opposing his expulsion but calling for his censure instead."

The authors of the amendment wrote, “We find that expelling a member for having moderate, social democratic politics is not justified. By and large Connolly’s statements and actions through the years – including actively working against fellow DSA candidates and campaigns – stem from this underlying political approach. And for better or worse, this approach is shared by many other Boston DSA members, rather than representing conduct on Connolly’s part that would justify expulsion.”

A few chapters are pretty active and legit, but most are just sheep dogging for the Dems.

https://gcaptain.com/second-u-n-facilitated-shipment-of-russian-fertilizer-from-eu-reaches-africa/

VILNIUS, May 29 (Reuters) – A second shipment of Russian-origin fertilizer facilitated by the United Nations’ World Food Programme has arrived in Africa from the European Union, containing 34,000 tonnes of fertiliser, Russia’s Uralchem said on Monday.

The consignment was under Uralchem-Uralkali Group’s name and arrived in Kenya. The company also said in its statement that in March a first shipment of Russian-origin fertilizer from the European Union, of 20,000 tonnes, arrived in Africa, in Malawi.

Uralchem did not say which EU ports either shipment was shipped from.

However, Latvia said last month that it had allowed a shipment of Russian-origin fertiliser to go to Kenya.

The shipment was the first batch released by Latvia of a total of about 200,000 tonnes of Russian-origin fertilizer stored in Riga port since March last year, when it was seized due to European Union sanctions on Russia.

Prosecuting Trump for sloppy retention of classified documents is a joke when weighed against what others have done before him. None of our “leaders” follow the Federal Records Act or proper classified document procedures. Trump’s a dumpster fire in a lot of ways, but this is a purely political prosecution.

Bill Clinton lied to cozy up to Israel - surprise, surprise. Palestinians will never get a fair shake at the negotiations table as long as America has its dirty hands involved. Zionists have American politicians by the balls and the pocketbook.

Corporations don’t care about people. Politicians don’t care about people. They only care about maximizing profits.

Following Hillary’s tarring of half the populace as “deplorables,” Dems have gone all in on weaponizing the judiciary, with the Espionage Act no less. Indictments have simply become a continuation of politics by other means, with apologies to von Clausewitz. There seems to be no recognition that this new weapon could be turned back on them, and soon. This is what comes from losing all perspective and declaring one’s opponents to be evil incarnate rather than fellow human beings with opposing views. Sure, a quick fix to mobilize your unthinking herds and distract from your own failings, but we all take a step closer to Armageddon as a result.

Just the cost of doing businesses vs retaining evidence of wrongdoing. Corporations and politicians all play this game with “fall guy” interns held in reserve should they be required.
