The Rabbit Hole

Sure, all money supply comes from the very same source, as for everybody else. If they need money and/or operate with, the source is the same. Therefore the wings can be controlled, one and only, from the very same bird (the generic money supplier).

He or she who can not be named, I think you really should consider putting on ignore! Seriously! Its a creep, and why invite such duchery to this site when it doesn't need to be? I am just saying, it probably would be a whole lot better if you did! It's obvious the guy is a self loathing insufferable troll, so why give them a privileged pass into out domain?

PUKE!

Movie Review, "Hostiles,"
Starring, Christian Bale, Wes Studi, and Rosamund Pike




What is there to be said of movies considered revisionist history? In Scott Cooper’s latest work “Hostiles” certainly intimates at that within a genre looking to reinvent itself in recent times to being relevant in a landscape where the attention to details no longer matters, only that certain hints of cultural appropriation is subtly inserted
for greater effect for the audience’s to ponder, and that violence is the key to building tension in a viewing capacity.

The story takes place Fort Berringer NM in 1892, where legendary Army Captain Joseph Blocker(Christian Bale) is asked to escort a dying Cheyenne War Chief (Wes Studi) back to his ancestral homelands of Montana. Against his wishes he reluctantly agrees, only after being threatened by his superior officer of being reprimanded in ruin if he refused. Along the way, they encounter a widow (Rosamund Pike) who loses her family to raiding Indians in a violent massacre that leaves her in a stricken state of shock that debilitates her coping skills until the Army Captain and his entourage arrive to help her bury her family and taker her with them as a means to get her back to civilization.

While there are some worthy moments within the movie, and does hold the attention long enough to wait for the development of the scenes, it falls short on following through on character development between the Captain’s animosity towards Indians, and the War Chief offering to help him when they themselves come under attack while on their travels. This particular premise seems rather forced than organic, and is suggestive that director Scott Cooper when developing the story wanted to insert this into the larger narrative of the movie to make a suggestive thought of bigotry, particularly against the white man as being that racist foe that we hear so much about today within the cultural appropriation of Hollywood’s self indulging elites. Bigotry, Racism, hatred all at a time when the country (Present moment) seems rather maligned with choosing sides in the political confrontation about social conflicts within the spectrum of Identity politics, all seems too obvious what Scott Cooper was trying to accomplish and for that it diminishes the movie’s overall potential to be much, much, more.

Another aspect that seemed over the top and no longer be used as shock value, as it has been done before (as Hollywood’s creative genius for originality has been lost and traded for convenience to hit us over the head with the same old same old) is the widow’s action of shooting repeatedly into a corpse of a dead Indian after which their group had come under attack.

The movie is worth seeing, but it is not of being classified as above average, for obvious reasons I just stated. It weren’t for Christian Bale, who is always counted on for giving strong performances the movie would have been an utter disaster, so 3 stars out of 5 is all I would be will to give it.

I really argue that it is not so much about the religious collisions of both societies and ideologies but more about Post Modernism's inherent nihilistic course as whole that has produced the current discourse we are on. Religion in itself has been drastically compartmentalized as many other schools of thought that have abandoned to be public with their narratives due to things like relativism and meta narratives that makes any reasoning skills within striking distance of jumping into the abyss of insanity. It's just the product of the times we live, in, but there should be corrections in the interpretations of Nietzsche's true meaning when it comes to being "nihilistic" or the tendencies to want to subscribe to such thoughts. Maybe there is hope that we embark on a new movement as the counter Post Modern movement is ushered in.

and now for something completely different!

I am not sure what this meme is about, so I thought maybe you could help out with this.

There is a certain peculiarity here that those ignored, thus cannot post, can still report. At least if I leave the door open, it highlights their cowardice.

I guess we can simply extrapolate this:

EU having a strop because Trump wants to exclude UK from tariffs: https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/929437/Brexit-news-European-Union-Donald-Trump-steel-trade-war-UK-EU-latest

but then want to slap the UK themselves: https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/929542/brexit-news-eu-uk-trade-war-brexit-negotiations-liam-fox-theresa-may-brussels

What a nasty bunch.

No two ways of saying it, Trump really is a genius. There was method in his madness, but it worked. Whatever it takes to prevent WW3 and it looks like Trump is the man. He recently said that he would have handled the Brexit negotiations very differently - I bet! We would like to borrow him.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by this. Can you expand on it a little?

Sure.

First, Islam is a political movement masqueraded as a religion, and for the past 10 years or so, it has only become an issue because just as you intimated it has infiltrated into the political institutions of western culture. Ie: Great Britain, and The USA. It only has been exacerbated in recent years by the uncontrolled influx of unskilled migrants imposed by undemocratic institutions like the EU to mandate all it’s members to be inclusive thereof to meet it’s quotas to accommodate the exodus of a people fleeing war torn countries such as Syria. (Albeit a manufactured crisis IMO, Humanitarian crisis is the word used under another false pretense ) Of course Obama the ideologue bought by the globalist cabal to do the same. BREXIT, became the start of the populist movement as a reaction to all the problems the EU and their ideology has brought. Then followed across the pond with the election of Trump as a reaction to the establishment of multi-national corporations that subscribe to the globalist agenda. (i.e.: redistribution of world wide wealth, consolidation of the worlds resources, borderless countries) Italy maybe the latest in such movement to subscribe in reversing this trend as it has shown the adverse affects upon national identities and the costs associated with it.

The EU, and the globalists like Soros and the Obamanites who virtue signal about inclusivity of gender pronouns, adapting to changed language to accommodate certain ideologies of group think, revisionist history, and open borders have tried to no ends to reinforce these ideas by way of propaganda (They control the MSM), punishing the opposition within the panopticon of technological surveillance and other measures within the social stratifications of culture and politics. This is what I refer to cultural Marxism in the guises such as political correctness, calling out hate speech, racism, bigotry, censorship where the infringement on individual liberties such as "Free speech" comes under siege for expressing such opposition to these views, ideas, deemed as being adverse to a national identity or a particular culture. There is also a clear example of cultural re-appropriation being implemented that exists in the subtle under-layers of the philosophical dogma of leftists ideology. It can’t be seen, but is there when further theoretical analysis is applied to look deeper; it then becomes apparent that “whitey" is the main cause for all of human societal problems throughout history and that brown people (as is the new term buzz word is being introduced in the main stream narrative) have been kept down and not allowed to achieve their potential as a result. This is a pervasive theme in western culture being re-appropriated to justify a more sinister and nefarious political agenda. (See Canada and Justin "twinkle socks" Trudeau)

Now getting to the the post modernism element of all this, the basis in which reason, truth, facts do not exist, only that everything is subject to interpretation, which is in consequence and the reason for circular debate among it’s ardent consumers of this school of thought is often frustrating and very rarely can two opposing views can agree on anything. (conservative and progressive leftists) This is more in line in what I was expressing being close to the abyss of surrendering to insanity, and a product of the times we live in. Compartmentalization in this respect is a term used to describe the various opposing views becoming secularized within our modern day society, and religion is one of them.

"postmodernism holds that our identities are constructed by our race or gender or class identities—that is the collectivized part of it: You exist only as part of a collective group. The zero-sum part is that those groups are in a life-and-death conflict with each other. So, society is made up of blacks versus whites, men versus women, rich versus poor, Muslim versus Christians, etc., etc,. Generally, the political philosophy of postmodernism is left collectivism. The aesthetic view is very fragmented and rather nihilistic.” ~ Dr. Stephen Hicks 2010

When you think about religion in a general sense, it has been marginalized since the 16th century when science, reason supported by empirical evidence replaced religion as the center piece of western societies to explain natural phenomena. Darwin expedited this acceptance of thought with his evolution and survival of the fittest theories. My argument in all of this is not about religious ideologies becoming in conflict with one another, but more to do with culture and the capability of values that become conflict when another culture is imposed on another and the values are not the same, (as has been the case in much of what we are seeing with their EU and incessant need for social engineering) and thus start to compete with one another along ideological fronts that becomes politically weaponized.

Post Modernist's are everywhere, in all sorts of institutions such as education, Government, Entertainment, and in the highest positions of power and have or are influencing the current discourse that we are having to live through, and for those who don't subscribe to it's institutional hive mentality become a part of the counter culture to which such opposition is formed. The current post modernist didn't shape it's tenets but instead refine, reinforce it's ideology. So is it no wonder that the ones who did shape it, are predominantly French Philosophers known to have subscribed to extreme leftists ideologies of the past such as far left Socialism or far leftist dogma? Lyotard, Baudrillard, Foucault, and others?

This in terms of “Nihilism" and Nihilistic thought, is what post modernists subscribe to. The term itself is closely associated with Nietzsche’s writings on the subject matter with his books “The Gay Science” and “Genealogy of Morals” where he is clearly stating and advocating overcoming nihilism as a means for self attained enlightenment, vs. what post Modernist willingly subscribe to, “will to nothing” or Nothing to will”. In a nut shell, Post Modernists misinterpret Nietzsche’s ideas to the point of advocating the opposite, and the fact Nietzsche himself was an atheist, who was writing during a time he viewed Victorian era Societies of Europe as being oppressive and dogmatic, was not the same as what Post modernist who subscribe to assailing and indicting Christian beliefs to the point of ostracizing those who hold such beliefs to shame. Nietzsche, realized the value in which Christian religion brought to society by way of establishing a basis for morals, it was necessary for society to have order (as he challenged all morals are man made as in “God is Dead") but he also advocated that humans from time to time need reevaluate values, as old values though out periods of time become outdated and outlive their purpose. Post modernists took this to mean something else and became extreme in their discourse to assail upon anybody subscribing to Christian beliefs as being in the same mention as white, racist, dogmatic, and the source of the world’s conflicts. Funny how these same are so willing to embrace Islam with even more reverence to fuel any opposition to it’s counter part, would not only seem to be even more oppressive, but contradictory to what they want to advocate.The discourse of politics has indeed become tribal and primordial to the species we call humans!

Finally my last point, movements and eras are cyclical. Modernism, Counter enlightenment, Post Modernism. We are currently living in a time when post modernist thought is under attack, and simply put doesn’t have a defense in order to survive its own contrived arguments, such as the case with modernism, although, some values of it’s movement persist to this day, but unlike modernism which did not contradict itself, Post modernism seems to do that on many fronts! We maybe witnessing the era in which we will be entering a new movement, (beginning stages) both philosophically and culturally, but like all movements, it’s a gradual process within human history, that can span 50 to 100 years before we can speak of post modernism posthumously, and the merits of its movement good or bad for history and philosophy can not be separated for they are interdependent on one another for analytic discourse.

A simpler way of looking at it! Nicely done Jen!

Hypocrisy is being replaced with virtue signaling, or can they be interchanged to mean the same?

It's really all hot air, but the fight is long from being over, for it has just begun. What will happen in a few weeks when the US announces they are pulling out NAFTA. Heads are going to explode!

Britain just needs to find their modern day equivalent of Churchill! Who will be the one with a pair to stand up to the ideologues of the EU pansy club of social neophytes? Too many soyboys running around that makes one out of many, ("E pluribus Unum,") and an exceptional one at that, makes it a very challenging proposition to find! Pray! But you got to want it, you got to be willing to fight for it, and not succumb to apathy to which GB has subscribed to for many years now. Tea and Crumpets is no longer indulged for moments of contemplation, for that time is now! A deliberate course of action is desperately needed for the UK!

Cheers for writing this. I've read it a few times but as there's quite a bit to take in I want to digest further before replying. Will get back to you anon

That would be JRM. The problem is May refuses to pack her bags. Local elections in May. She could be forced out.

I didn't think you could provide the proof and now you are just talking bollox

Pfffff... I personally own a small business which operates as any street bank do. Moving numbers in the database from one account to another. Creating value out of a thin air. Overselling, too. Talk to me about how money and banks work!:-)))

Most people are willingly ignorant about the way money actually works. Let them stay that way... You win!:-)))
