Apologies for sounding like a broken record; but we need to recognize this for what it is. It’s not madness. It is evil. Worse, it is part of a carefully-crafted, long-term plan which is, at its core, demonic and anti-human. We need to address it as such to save our species.
It’s an icon of St Photius the Great, which was given me by Dr Farrell in 1985 or 1986. The scroll he carries reads (in translation), “Beseech, O Photius, the Lord of all things to give peace to the world and to our souls.”
I’m not sure madness precludes evil… but I get your point, and agree with the general gist. I’d say discretion isn’t necessarily counterproductive, even when facing an adversary.
I think some of the madness/evil is also calculated to be a distraction. I submit that one way to “win” some of these battles is to ignore the nonsense, and go about living, acting, and speaking in a normal, human way in our own lives.
Agreed, madness does not preclude evil; but madness of this kind can just be the result of poor judgement and I was just trying to highlight my opinion that what might appear silly is actually symptomatic of something deeply evil and should be called out as such. As for ignoring the nonsense, I think we do that at our peril. For sure, we must avoid being distracted by it, avoid investing time and energy in it; but we must be aware/understand, don’t you think?
Yes, absolutely, we need to be aware of it and realize that what lies behind it isn’t just silliness, but a drive to dismantle Western civilization. And we should try to make others aware of that. From a tactical standpoint, though, I’d say we need to expect an avalanche of “woke” incidents and news stories like this to come down the pike. That being the case, I think we need to be careful not to react to all of them, lest we waste our energy. We need as much energy as we can spare, to figure out how to resist most effectively, and to start building some kind of counter-society. In this context, it’s extra important to pick one’s battles carefully and focus one’s energy wisely.
I loved my Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head! Outrageous! How could they! Aaaaarrrrrg!
Really, I have very fond memories of playing with this toy.
They’re trying to uglify everything good. Unacceptable.
… Wow! these folks have certainly given themselves a lot of work to do. They must now follow through. My goodness, there are so many, many “corrections” to our thinking, to our memory (collective as well as individual), and our history that simply MUST be made posthaste. So much media needing to be “sanitized for our protection”. Mr. Moto, Mr. Blandings, Mr. Bond, Mr. Roboto, Mr. Smith, Mr. Sandman, Mr. Tambourine Man, Mr. Blue Sky, Mr. Grinch, Mr. Big Stuff, Mr. Bean, Mr. Peabody, Mr. Crowley, and of the course that terribly problematic hair band named (really now, aren’t they all problematic in one way or another regardless? – I kid of course … please no angry cards or letters) Mr. Mister.
But as we are encouraged to do by Monty Python … we should always look on the bright side of life (true story, this was sung at Graham Chapman’s Memorial Service, personally I’m leaning toward Nektar’s “It’s All Over”, which I think is apropos not only for its lyrics but also in that the first word of the song title is the Intro to each Monty Python episode, and as I hope what comes next will be a Monty Pythonesque existence … but I digress … only slightly) … this is actually a veiled jobs program and government jobs soon to be available listing for the Records Department within the soon to be created Ministry of Truth. This will of course be a Cabinet Level Position requiring a Secretary of same and requisite accompanying bureaucracy. I suppose that here, across the pond on this side of the Anglo-American Establishment (another book title of interest from Carroll Quigley) we will have to refer to it as The Department of Truth (has a nice ring to it don’t you think?) … in connection to Quigley, if interested, see Intelligence Elsewhere:Spies and Espionage Outside the Anglosphere, Davies, P. and K. Gustafson, (Eds.) I find it interesting that this title is published by Georgetown University Press as Quigley was a professor at Georgetown.
After all if they are serious about this “Mr. Potato Head Thang” there is much work for the soon to be created Records Department within the soon to be created (if not already existing) Department of Truth. We here at Giza should begin a list of recommendations / nominations to submit to the BidenHarris (remember its all one word) administration for this new cabinet position. I would like to place in nomination Richard Doty (of Paul Benewitz fame), Luis Elizondo, and George Knapp. I believe such a department to be already in existence. My evidence you ask … Some while back in this forum I mentioned that it appeared that in the famous (at least in ufological circles) press conference in 1952 of Maj. Gen. John Samford (Maj. Gen. John A. Samford’s Statement on “Flying Saucers”, Pentagon, Washington, DC, 07/31/1952) that any evidence of his smoking during his entire statement had been scrubbed. … and so I end this comment with the impressive improvised utterance from the power deprived, digital mind of Roy Batty (played by Rutger Hauer in Bladerunner), “All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain”. Since there is this penchant for these things being in Latin — “Quae omnia procedente peribunt tempore tamquam lacrimae in pluvia”. I propose this as the motto of The Department of Truth.
And as Columbo liked to say “Just one more thing …” … this line from Bladerunner is usually quoted without the final sentence … “Time to die” – “Tempus est mori”.
Speaking of Mr. Bond.
They did a trial balloon and floated the idea of a black woman Bond. In fact, the new Bond movie gave her a key role; so she could immediately be written in.
[Good one! Mr. Mister!
Loved it!]
Yes! Jobs. Become part of Spectre!
More of those bulls___t jobs; as if there weren’t enough of them as is.
I prefer, Ministry of Truth, as it sounds more Orwellian. A book I read deeply when I stepped, literally across a military redline and was incarcerated. A copy, heavily underlined, and went “missing”.
George Knapp, a foul bird indeed; at least in any nuclear backyard.
Another incident. In Bangkok, I worked as military police. I had two packs of Marlboros in my uniform breast pockets; one was Buddha grass, the other real tobbacco.
I was just clearing my weapon, and walk past Central Security Control; when out popped the head of intelligence in a secret meeting w/a bunch of intel officers, “Can get a smoke?” he asked looking at my two packs. I reached in one psack and gave him one. He thanked me, lit it and went smoking back into the front of the audience to speak. I immediately broke a companion cig in the pack, Oh my, Buddha!
I quickly vamoosed!
Yes!
I’m a fan of dark humor noir;
your last line is quite apropos!
And that scene is one of my all time favorites; as well as the author that inspired it PKD!
How about “Department of Homeland Reality”? After all, as suggested by one of the great minds published in our newspaper of record, it may be headed by a “reality czar”: https://dailyreckoning.com/needed-a-reality-czar/
BTW, your avatar is beautiful!

… and be careful to ID spellwords and not repeat them in your written or oral language.

Calling Mr. Clean!
Clean-up in the Agnostic Language aisle.
Get there Pronto!
Before you too are neutered!
