□ [“Marvel’s Newest Movie Made History…But Not in a Good Way"]

I still can't believe we live in a world where Ant Man is known to anybody but comics geeks.  Even worse, there are people who actually like him.  How did we get to this point?  They had to keep changing his name to keep the character going, sometimes replacing him with a new character, and nothing worked.  The Wasp had a bit more leeway as a ditzy dame, competent when the story required it.  But this...

I think the replacements were already established before these movies started happening, but I don't specifically remember and am not going to look it up.  Not an Ant Man-fan.  Even stranger, I have actually seen the first two movies, because I was bored and wanted to work out a theory on the Marvel Universe, which I don't even remember.  I don't remember the movies either.

Avengers movies, yes, I like and have seen many times.  Beyond that, there's Cap 3 because I needed to kill a few hours and it did have most of the Avengers in it, and then Ant Man 1 and 2.  I was tempted to see the recent Spider-Man movie just to get the earlier actors, but not that tempted.  I would totally watch WandaVision if it was mostly about making fun of old sit-coms, but as far as I know, it wasn't, and that's the extent of my interest in the MCU.  If I really want anything to do with these characters, I still have all my comics, and I started edging away from superheroes a long time ago.

What I am interested in is trying to figure out how they're trying to do to movie audiences what Marvel did to comics readers all those decades.  They've clearly succeeded in establishing the reputation as the cool, happening place, but also cranking out tons of formulaic nonsense.  You can replace the scripter or the inker and still have a monthly comic with the same characters, but here they're stuck with the same actors who will get old and die.

Since movies are a much much much much bigger industry than comics ever were, there's a lot more complication and a lot more things that can go wrong.  So what have they successfully transferred from the comics industry that has obviously worked, at least until it doesn't?

The main thing I can see is that they've managed to get a bunch of people who will mindlessly see whatever movie they're told to.  But to do that, they had to get to a point where making $100 million in a single week isn't remotely a hit movie.  So they buy tickets because they're told to and watch it once, and that's that.  It dropped by over 2/3 in the second week and cost $200 million to make, not counting promotion which probably doubled the costs.

Movie profits were always dubious at the best of times and I doubt that's changed, so it's never totally clear how much they bring in and how much they actually keep.  Foreign profits aren't helpful either, to know how much profit there's been.  And that's assuming we can actually trust the reports on how many tickets were sold.  Then there's the added transfers to streaming or wherever they go now, how much money is actually brought in there and is it actually spent to watch a given program?

So they've managed to manufacture their puppets to depend on propaganda.  The recent Doctor Strange movie had some point about how almost no universes actually use *money* and this Ant Man movie insists socialism actually works because cartoon ants do it.  They've smoothed out the distinctions between movies, Disney, comics, Marvel, and probably many other aspects of life, and got paid very well for it.

Clearly they're trying to establish the multiverse in accordance with Marvel and DC comics, and probably their own cult beliefs, and I think they're aiming for an Avengers/JLA crossover.  Gotta give the fans something, and at least at some level they need to pretend they want to make a profit.  They're clearly deluded enough to think they can do that.

The continuity of the movies was really neat, no denying that.  But it also turns people off.  I had only the slightest clue who the X-Men were when they appeared in Secret Wars and Secret War II, and those appearances did absolutely nothing to interest me further.  A year later, I had become a fan of the muties but that wasn't because of Marvel continuity.  I read the mutant franchise for several years but was definitely getting tired of it and eventually the only titles I read were Excalibur and X-Factor because of the creators.  When they left, so did I.  And that's where all the characters have stayed as far as I'm concerned.

But they expect many more people to waste much more time and money following movie after movie, tv show after tv show, just to keep up on all the intricate details?  That's not going to happen.  It's easier to just not spend any time and money on this franchise and just focus on stuff that's fund to watch for an hour and a half.

□ [“‘Major’ US Marshals Computer Hacked, Compromises Sensitive Information"]

Big deal, this happened to SOCOM earlier this month.  If it was a big deal, don't you think they'd have done something about it?  If it's not climate change, it doesn't matter!  Sensitive information is just kept in boxes in the garage, that's good enough.

So what claims are they going to make now to show it doesn't matter?  That it's Trump's fault because he's only been gone for 25 months?  That there's no classified or sensitive information that's actually relevant to anybody?

I'd say it's China just because they're the obvious subjects but obviously there are dozens of other possibilities.  There's probably thousands of 'bots being sent at these computers every hour but you don't need that many to get through to lead to problems.  Whoever's sending the 'bots has probably gone through all the required trans-vaccinated training, the people supposed to defend against them still have more to get through so they'll just have to wait.

And these units are the first line of defense against Russia and China.

Which isn't transportation, so it's understandable that you won't accept being remembered for that.  You'd just look bad every step of the way if anybody thought you had anything to with transportation.  But you don't.

So why are you there?  Why are you taking other people's money to use earth-killing fuel to go around?  It sounds like you get all the advantages of killing the earth with your travels and none of the costs of making it happen.  Can't you at least say everybody else has the right to use planes to get around and not pay for it themselves, or are you trying to show how special you are?

Of course he's not going to stop, that's how you get to show off being part of the elite.  It's your inferiors who get prevented from doing the things you do.  They don't even get to take vacations as much as you do, but then, they have actual problems to deal with.  That's not what you're there for.

□ [“NATO Pokes Russian Bear – Agrees to Plan for Ukraine to Become Member State"]

It could have joined a month ago.  Or two months ago.  Six months ago.  A year ago.  Two years ago.  Four years ago.  Eight years ago.  What's changed?  North Atlantic hadn't lowered the standards enough for it to join yet?  We weren't close enough to WWIII yet?  Ukraine wasn't desperate enough yet, they needed our help for a year before they became desperate enough?

I would hope Europe says 'f*ck now!' because this is just an obvious last-track attempt to prevent complete failure, but that's probably not going to happen.  The people in charge want this no matter the cost.  They're the ones repeating nonsense about Putin wanting to conquer the world, or at least Europe, or at least the dozen-or-so nations that were formed in 1991 and have gotten along with Russia ever since.

It's the US and NATO that keeps pushing into their territory.  Somehow it's bad when Russia does it but it's good when we do it.  Because America, England, France, Spain and Germany have never been known for helping themselves to land and anyway, they're white so it's good when they do it.  At least according to the liberals who want this war to happen.

It basically comes down to a game of 'chicken.'  Russia is really not a nation that's going to work with, not on their own turf.  They've gone through Goths, Huns, Persians, Norse, Mongols, French and Germans, not to mention their own leaders and having to put up with every winter.  In a game of 'chicken,' they will pick the 'nobody survives' option and have a lot more experience doing that.  It's how they've survived this long.  Then there's their background as the 'New Rome,' which they've had since before the voyages of Columbus.

Wanting to fight them is stupid enough.  Having to expand your tyranny just so you can send others to do the actual fighting is utterly insane.  Deluding yourself into thinking you have some higher goal should get you put up against the wall and shot so everyone else can just go on with their lives without you.

□ [“BREAKING:  Biden calls for a national draft. Men and women are to be selected to fight in Ukraine."]

Another fake video.  Doesn't look as good as the last one a couple weeks ago, but it's otherwise believable.  The left wants war, the military can't find enough people now and this won't help, so they'll need to restart the draft.  Obviously they'll only draft one of the dozens and dozens of genders they say they believe in, but big deal.  Ukraine did that too and no leftist complains.

But this is going to come to a head.  The left already government forcing everybody to follow any orders, they've already got laws and regulations and policies set up to give them any excuse they want, and they already want World War III.  The best I can say is that if any of them have a working brain, they'll realize that this is really a bad idea and, dare I say it, might even start questioning some of the other demands the draft-supporters have made which led us here.

It probably won't come to a real draft.  There's really no way the rulers could justify that and only their supporters would go along with it.  Given how few of them are doing anything to contribute at all, that's not going to help.  It would be a waste of money and earth-killing fuel to send them overseas.  It's not like they're going to do anything otherwise.  For that matter, it's safe to say none of them would actually qualify for a draft.

But the rulers are working out ways to coerce us into their planned structures and use us for whatever they want.  That's why they're in charge, we don't get a say in the matter.
