□ [“Chicago Residents of Brighton Park Neighborhood Protest Construction of Migrant Camp: ‘We Said No!’"]

That's fine, it's nice to hear that people are getting involved and are starting to stand up for their rights.  The problem is, the masters disagree and they're in charge.  They can replace you a lot easier than you can replace them, given the last several decades of you always voting for them and they're bringing in the new colonizers.

They're complaining that they weren't even told what the plan is.  You obviously didn't need to know, so why are you complaining now?  You haven't been willing to do anything so far, other than complain, so there's no reason anything's going to change, other than your masters bringing in more invaders at your expense.

I'm wondering if the term 'colonialism' is just another invention by the left to project their own goals onto others and claim that's bad.  It would certainly explain a lot.  I also wonder if this invention came from Russia or China, back when leftists unanimously supported them.  Or at least their peasants, like Cuba or Venezuela.

□ [“US Bombs Iranian Proxy Forces in Syria Hours After Iranian Foreign Minister Threatens US on US Soil"]

It must be hard for leftists to do anything beyond obey without question.  I was scanning a leftist site today and most people had no clue we were even in Syria and at least had a few comments about how we had no business there.  Then someone pointed out that Obama had started the invasion and that was pretty much where all complaints stopped.  Nobody even mentioned that Biden sent in troops on Day One so if they were opposed to US invasion of a Middle Eastern country, that would have been a good time to bring it up.

Remember, the goal was to get rid of Bashar al-Assad and at some point, we might get around to that, assuming he doesn't die of old age first.  And maybe after that, leftists will start complaining about it.  Or not, if they had their way, Saddam would still be ruling Iraq and Iran wouldn't be.  And notice how this only starting to get publicity now that the whole region is finally ready to destroy Israel.

As always, I go back and forth on whether this is an actual plan or just circumstances lining up.  Well, there's obviously a plan, the timing is too close for it to be coincidence, but what is the point of this?  I don't think anybody expects Biden to defend Israel, given that his biggest supporters all want it destroyed.  Is this about making America look incompetent?  Just overwhelming the 'big satan' with too many wars at once?  Do our enemies think there's an actual chance we'll have real elections in 2024 and want to grab as much as they can while there's still time?

And where are the protestors demanding that peace be given a chance?  Well, they don't do that against Democrats, I saw that on my three deployments under Obama and no, Syria was not one of them.

□ [“Biden is Now Threatening China with War — Pledges Military Action to Defend the Philippines"]

We're fighting Russia, Iran and now China.  How do you pick those three countries to have a war against?  It's not like they have any connections or belong to the same groups.  What next, a war against India?  Or does Canada already have that covered?  And as we've seen, there's nobody left to defend the free world thanks to the people in charge of it.

Other than complete defeat for the US, what else would this be about?  People are already unwilling to join the military, this won't help.  A draft isn't going to work, all you have to do to avoid that is refuse to get vaccinated for covid.  They're going to need to lower the standards and that mean including people who say there's only two genders which isn't what the military is about.

And Biden is supposed to be in charge of this?  He's supposed to fight the nations that spent all those years paying him bribes?  Wouldn't it be easier if he just does what they tell him to?  Maybe pretend he's going to war because everybody will believe what Biden says.  It's not like he's going to give up long weekends and speak coherently.

□ [“Thousands of Israeli Troops Storm into Gaza as 'Rolling Start' to Ground Invasion Reportedly Begins to Wipe Out Hamas"]

Is this real?  Weren't we told yesterday that the US had required Israel to delay the assault?  I'm totally fine with Israel wiping out the Philistines once and for all.  They could just start being "Arabs" again like they were before Arafat took over and live in other Arab nations instead of pretending they had one of their own.  Beyond that, there's no point in Israel putting up with them, much less allowing them to vote and get abortions.

But at this point, there's no reason to trust the media on this, even right-wing sites.  I know, we have to pick something or just admit we're totally ignorant of everything, but we also need to at least be skeptical of this stuff.  So if this isn't happening for real, they're obviously moving to the next step of the master plan.  If it is happening for real, they're probably still doing that, it just makes no sense.

But the UN is demanding Israel stop everything now and forever, they're clearly united against the 'big and little satans.'  That may be the actual point, especially now that the WHO has been given control over every nation any time they declare something a 'crisis.'  That's really believable as the actual goal, it's just not clear what the point is.  Nobody's going to obey them.  Is there any nation on earth where people actually care what the UN says?  Not the rulers, of course they comply, but the actual populous.  This just seems weird.

□ [“Disney's The Marvels Projected to Make Less Money Than Any Marvel Movie Ever"]

This is starting to get interesting.  Not enough to see the movie of course, but at least watching the upcoming failure.  Advanced ticket sales are still well below Ant-Man 3 and we know what a huge hit that was.  But this movie cost more to make so it needs to be at least as successful and that's not looking likely.

People who attend advanced screenings are forbidden to say anything about the movie until right before it's released, that's not how you treat an upcoming smash hit.  Yet for some reason, they've also leaked out what the post-credits scene is about, it involves Kelsey Grammer as the Beast.  WTF?  I'm in a small minority in that I liked the third X-movie, but 17 years later, this is supposed to get people to waste money on tickets just to see this?

As always, I'm worried that there is a genuine plan, and part of that is bringing in the multiverse, which by-extension involves the non-Disney movies.  I don't know who does the Deadpool movies - I've despised that character since his first appearance in New Mutants #98 - but the next one is supposed to bring back Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.

These are company-owned characters, you can replace the people who created them but you can't replace the highly-paid actors no matter how old they get?  Or in Black Panther's case, dead?  I guess if you're not willing to create interesting new characters, the companies are very limited to what they can do, but Kelsey Grammer as the surprise guest?  Nobody wants to buy tickets for that.  Why not just promote how wonderful Bree Larson is since this is a sequel to the movie she starred in?

It took decades for comic-book continuity to get to ridiculous for anyone to follow, it's taken a lot less time for movies to fall into the same trap, and they're a lot more expensive to make.  So that's why I'm enjoying watching the Marvels come in.  I just have to wonder if they always intended this to be a failure or if they really thought everybody would be looking forward to this?
