The Road Warrior [1981)

Why is Mark Milley such a fag?

Why is Mark Milley such a cocksucking faggot?

Maybe it’s because he hung out with Mark Esper too long.

Mark Esper hangs out with Lynn Forester de Rothschild (who was a frequent flier on Jeffrey Epstein’s Lolita Express).

https://www.mccaininstitute.org/staff/?filter=board-of-trustees

[on manifests as Lynn Forester]

epstein-flight-manifests

Screen Shot 2021-07-19 at 4.34.38 AM

N.B. The “Larry Summers” listed on Lolita Express is Lawrence Summers (former Harvard President, Clinton/Obama administration[s] official).

Which brings us to Milley’s pseudo-intellectualism.

For reference:

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/06/24/top-u-s-military-officers-defense-of-critical-race-theory-to-understand-white-rage-stokes-controversy/

Mark Milley implied in Congressional testimony that:

A. critical race theory is a perfectly fine thing for students at West Point to be studying

and (most importantly)

B. that “white rage […] caused thousands of people to assault this building [the U.S. Capitol] and try to overturn the Constitution (!) of the United States of America”

Apparently, Mark Milley is unaware that there were some (how should we say) “issues” with the 2020 Presidential election.

And, therefore, African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Latinos, Hispanics, Mexican-Americans…MANY people were pissed off that (for instance) Ruby Freeman was caught on film stuffing the ballot box in Fulton County.

Many people were upset that all of the swing states stopped counting votes at the same time on election night.

And when they restarted (early in the morning [while Ruby Freeman was stuffing the ballot box in Georgia]) that impossible statistical jumps occurred in Wisconsin and Michigan which gave Joe Biden his first lead of the election: a lead he would never relinquish in those key states.

It is not “white rage” to want one’s vote to count.

Joe Biden, a white man, has made many derogatory comments about black people and other minorities.

Are we to say that “white rage” was responsible for Joe Biden’s miraculous win?

Did all the white people who voted for Joe Biden do so out of a feeling of “white rage”?

Which takes us back to the sad fact that Mark Milley is an idiot.

As Dinesh D’Souza astutely pointed out: Milley apparently thinks there’s a three-fourths clause in the Constitution.

As Milley was wrapped up in brilliant exegesis before Congress, he misquoted the U.S. Constitution (that very thing he is supposed to be defending).

It is, of course, the Three-Fifths Clause.

Maybe if Milley had spent a little less time reading Mao, Lenin, and Stalin (as he bragged in a spontaneous statement), and a little more time reading the U.S. Constitution, he would know that.

But let’s get back to the faggotry of the traitors in key positions of the U.S. military.

Another fudge packer is Chris Miller.

I would have to assume his bosom buddy Ezra A. Cohen is also an ass licker of some renown:

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2021/01/embedding-with-pentagon-leadership-in-trumps-chaotic-last-week

This makes some sense…as Chris Miller spent a considerable amount of time with arch-faggot Mike Pence’s balls in his mouth (figuratively?).

Pence is the king of pedo-faggots.

FULL-Transcript-of-Whistleblower-Interview

Screen Shot 2021-07-19 at 5.05.20 AM

Unfortunately, the Chief Naval Officer (Gilday) is also a gigantic cock swallower:

https://dailycaller.com/2021/06/15/michael-gilday-aids-conspiracy-jim-banks/

So that means the Chairman (CJCS) and the Naval representative to the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff are both pathetic losers.

Donald Trump is an honorable man (to paraphrase Dr. Jon McGreevey [the whistleblower who details, under the pseudonym Ryan Dark White, exactly how Mike Pence was blackmailed by Rod Rosenstein and THE Deep State]).

Trump fulfilled his part of the contract.

Trump didn’t do a coup.

And I applaud Trump’s strong statement on loser Milley.

What Trump must now do to regain his preeminence as a truth-teller is to CALL OUT THE VACCINES AS POISON:

Trump absolutely MUST STOP gloating about Operation Warp Speed which has (indirectly) killed thousands of people.

The three COVID vaccines in the U.S. are murdering people.

Until Trump crosses this line, he is not the real deal anymore.

Mr. Arkadin [1955)

I am a bad film critic.

A good, bad film critic.

Because this is one of those films which requires a certain attention to detail.

Get the damn title right.

So what is it?

I have just watched the British version…we’ll call it (adhering to common practice) Confidential Report.

I had seen this once before.

To me it was always Mr. Arkadin. I didn’t realize the level of controversy surrounding this film’s numerous versions.

But let me point something out. All of the versions are within a few minutes of each other. Sure, some are in Spanish. That makes a difference. But at a certain point it is splitting hairs. Either you’ve seen this thing or you haven’t.

I can understand the legalistic approach to film preservation when it comes to this picture.

If the whole thing isn’t presented as a flashback, I can see how the composition might be negatively affected.

But who cares? Bogdanovich? Sure…I care too.

And so let’s get around to why one should even care in the first place.

This is a magnificent movie!

I didn’t really think so the first time I saw it.

It’s possible to see this film and be caught in a The Big Sleep haze.

So maybe it does depend on the version.

Maybe the film isn’t supposed to be confusing.

Yet, there’s something nice (pleasant) about being confused.

If this was a universal maxim, I would walk around with a smile on my face perpetually.

But the confusion here is a rare sort.

When I first saw Mr. Arkadin I mainly “retained” (absorbed?) only its mood.

Something was happening. Orson Welles was a shadowy character.

There wasn’t a sense of continuity.

But here’s another possibility.

This film needs (deserves) to be seen more than once.

The action moves fast.

Weird things are afoot.

The whole film is a sort of riddle.

And the symbolism is as stinky-strong as Roquefort.

Wikipedia might lead you to Basil Zaharoff, but my mind was wandering more towards George Soros and/or Rupert Murdoch.

Even Jeff Bezos…these guys who feel compelled to protect their corporate empires by buying the Wall Street Journal (or Washington Post).

We make fun of Kissinger because he got the Nobel Peace Prize.

We make fun of Obama for the same reason.

Neither deserved it. [the prize]

It is as repugnant as Orwell’s Ministry of Truth.

But really, we are dumb.

We Lumpenproletariat.

Lumpy Gravy.

We lump together Kissinger with Brzezinski. And then we throw Soros in for good measure.

And to top it all off, we place Murdoch like a cherry atop the mystère.

There is no mystery.

Bouvard and Pécuchet are aghast.

Maybe he was born in Muğla.

Perhaps he died in Monte Carlo.

Methods. Experiments.

This is the dossier on Mr. Arkadin.

You are paying to have yourself spied on.

Whether you like it or not.

Because, with all you have been through, you can’t even remember your real identity.

Oh yes…the tired trope of super-soldier pap and shows like Blindspot.

We almost buy it.

It goes a long way.

But it falls short.

Too few comma splices.

Yes, too few.

I will, be, here with Pynchon. Is not a comma splice.

This is approaching the time in which firemen SET fires. Bradbury. Truffaut.

And among the contraband is Tropic of Cancer.

Yes, my heart rends a bit. As I reach out.

Julie Christie…the rumors are true.

A shamus hired by a murderer.

Belgrade. Zürich.

Orson Welles is painting a portrait of Europe.

Corruption.

A song for Europe.

Mother of pearl.

They say Rothschild came in.

Always came in. But with a nice glass of Lafite.

ONI was sniffing around. They were the first. Good old chaps!

War profiteering runs all through the story of Basil Zaharoff.

And Orson Welles borrows this story artfully.

As when Patricia Medina is drunk on the yacht.

All through the film. Those expressionist camera angles. Vertov. Ruttman.

But with the wine…more sinister. As Arkadin is lucid. Listening. Gathering intelligence.

DYB.

We need a new generation of jet fighters. Though the last generation never saw action in a real war. Hasn’t been a real war since WWII. Profiteers are restricted in their movements.

The Spanish Empire finally collapsed because of this corruption. Will it happen in the exact same manner to the United States?

The parallels are more similar than Rome.

It is too much. The shoddiness of these machines. I must stop here.

Tomorrow Never Dies [1997)

“We won’t be signing off until the world ends. We’ll be on, and we will cover the end of the world, live, and that will be our last event . . . we’ll play ‘Nearer My God to Thee’ before we sign off.” Ted Turner. 1980. Launch of CNN.

Ah, but let’s back up to 1973 when Rupert Murdoch bought the San Antonio Express-News. Somehow this Aussie weaseled into the U.S. market with that acquisition (in my home town) and now his empire has spawned the most virulent threat to the world: Fox News.

The news ticker began on 9/11/01 over at Fox and has continued till the present time. Let me demonstrate: fear fear fear fear fear fear fear fear fear fear fear fear fear fearfearfearfearfearfearfearfear ISIS ISIS ISIS ISIS ISIS ISIS ISISISISISISISISISISISISIISISIS Iran Iran Iran Iran Iran Iran IranIranIranIranIranIranIranIran.

Well, one of these two men (Turner and Murdoch) said something wise back in 2006. “They’re a sovereign state. We have 28,000. Why can’t they have 10? We don’t say anything about Israel — they’ve got 100 of them approximately — or India or Pakistan or Russia.” [–Ted Turner] Now that’s a statement I can get behind.

But let’s be honest: the perceived enemy of Fox News on the national landscape (Democrats) have had their chance. Obama lost my confidence when he failed to truly investigate 9/11. Not only that, he “killed” bin Laden: thereby solidifying the false narrative which has passed by our eyes each day like that doomsday ticker at the bottom of the screen.

And so we dig deeper:

Georgia Guidestones. 1980. “..until the world ends. We’ll be on, and we will cover the end of the world, live, and that will be our last event.” Hmmm. 1980. Population reduction. Let’s see: 7 billion – 500 million= 6.5 billion. Ok, so the Georgia Guidestones would seem to be advocating the death of about 92% of humanity. So, let’s see: there’s the 1%…and then the 7% they decide get to come along for the ride.

Wendi Deng. Deng Wenge. Wenge…hmmm. Mao! Cultural Revolution. 1966-1976. Purge. Violent class struggle. Youths of the Red Guards. Of course Deng was born in 1968 so her name might be kinda akin to Deng Endlösung or Deng Kristallnacht had she been born in late-1930s Germany. Back to Mao…how many were fatally purged? 30,000? 100,000? 400,000? 750,000? 1.5 million? 3 million?

MBA. Yale. Los Angeles. News Corp. Hong Kong. Rupert. Tony Blair. Hmmm…

Well, in any case: Happy Birthday to Mr. Murdoch who turns 84 years young tomorrow. Hi Rupert!

Tomorrow never dies.

Spottiswoode. 48 Hrs. Walter Hill.

Holly Palance. Jeremy Prokosch. I always thought it was Jeremiah.

And my jeremiads…

Divorced 1997. Check. The omen…

Bruce Feirstein. He dreamt up this outlandish (hardly) plot. Political commentator on Fox News. Vanity Fair contributor (say hi to Tosches for me). Film producer in China. Hmmm…

Ah, but the kicker is changing light bulbs on Newark Airport runways: Feirstein’s high school job. That really takes the cake.

Flight 93. Cell phone calls from 40,700 feet in 2001 (NPR, June 17, 2004). I’ve always hated NPR, but they make the case that much simpler. In the words of astute observers: strictly impossible.

The dialog in Tomorrow Never Dies is actually pretty good, but what can compare to the anonymous writing prowess found in such phrases as, “Hey! Hey! Give it to me. Give it to me. Give it to me. Give it to me. Give it to me. Give it to me. Give it to me. Give it to me.” I mean, really: that is some heady scriptwriting to give to a non-SAG actor like “Ziad Jarrah” or whichever of the fictitious bogeyman was purported to be speaking at the time.

Ah, but we are supposed to think of Robert Maxwell says Feirstein. Yet, just like in Godard’s Made in U.S.A., we run into Donald E. Westlake. Hmmm…

Significantly, villain Elliot Carver (Jonathan Pryce) is made to utter the phrase “new world order.” Indeed.

Opening the same day as Titanic. Let’s see: groundbreaking for The Pentagon? September 11, 1941. The CIA’s overthrow of Salvador Allende and his assassination? September 11, 1973.

I am urged to see these as coincidences.

And Henry Gupta? Are we to think of A.Q. Khan who was born in Bhopal? And Enron?

Ah yes: 1974. ISI.

“We have 28,000. Why can’t they have 10? We don’t say anything about Israel — they’ve got 100 of them approximately.”

I wish I had a Murdoch quote to balance this out. I don’t think his 2006 fundraising for Hillary Clinton or his New York Post support for Obama would have quite the same effect, but it’s worth noting. “Yeah. He is a rock star. It’s fantastic. I love what he is saying about education. I don’t think he will win Florida… but he will win in Ohio and the election. I am anxious to meet him. I want to see if he will walk the walk.” [Rupert Murdoch on whether he had anything to do with the Post’s pro-Obama push in 2008]

Rothschild. Waterloo. Niall Ferguson makes a valiant effort to rehabilitate Nathan, but is it true? It seems there are at least some scruples at the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.

We’ve heard the concept…playing both sides against one another. Indeed, funding both sides. Hedging. Divide and conquer.

It’s very important that the “right” weapons be found. High stakes. Fighting the Soviets. Afghanistan. Charlie Wilson’s War. Maybe call this guy in Israel. Fake it till you make it. Make it to fake it. Make it fake.

And so the James Bond franchise presciently taught the world about false flags back in 1997, but was anyone listening?
