… everything about Yankee Doodle Dandy and that Grand Old Stars & Bars is as vapid and corrupt and childish but very dangerous as any of the Top Ten Fascist Regimes
Disney wins at yet another level. It is not only interested in erasing the real by turning it into a three-dimensional virtual image with no depth, but it also seeks to erase time by synchronizing all the periods, all the cultures, in a single traveling motion, by juxtaposing them in a single scenario. Thus, it marks the beginning of real, punctual and unidimensional time, which is also without depth. No present, no past, no future, but an immediate synchronism of all the places and all the periods in a single atemporal virtuality. Lapse or collapse of time: that’s properly speaking what the fourth dimension [la quatrieme dimension] is about. It is the dimension of the virtual, of real time; a dimension which, far from adding to the others, erases them all. And so it has been said that, in a century or in a millennium, gladiator movies will be watched as if they were authentic Roman movies, dating back to the era of the Roman empire, as real documentaries on Ancient Rome; that in the John Paul Getty Museum in Malibu, a pastiche of a Pompeian villa, will be confused, in an anachronistic manner, with a villa of the third century B.C. (including the pieces inside from Rembrandt, Fra Angelico, everything confused in a single crush of time); that the celebration of the French Revolution in Los Angeles in 1989 will retrospectively be confused with the real revolutionary event. Disney realizes de facto such an atemporal utopia by producing all the events, past or future, on simultaneous screens, and by inexorably mixing all the sequences as they would or will appear to a different civilization than ours. But it is already ours. It is more and more difficult for us to imagine the real, History, the depth of time, or three-dimensional space, just as before it was difficult, from our real world perspective, to imagine a virtual universe or the fourth dimension [la quatrieme dimension].

In the field of sociology, the term “Disneyfication” describes the commercial transformation of things (e.g. entertainment) or environments into something simplified, controlled, and ‘safe’—reminiscent of the Walt Disney brand (such as its media, parks, etc.).
The term broadly describes the process of stripping a real place or thing of its original character and representing it in a sanitized format where references to anything negative or inconvenient are removed, and the facts are simplified with the intent of rendering the subject more pleasant and easily grasped. In the case of physical places, this involves replacing the real with an idealized, tourist-friendly veneer—resembling the “Main Street, U.S.A.” attractions at Disney theme parks. Based on rapid Western-style globalization and consumerist lifestyles, the term Disneyfication is mostly used derogatorily to imply the social and cultural homogenization of things. In other words, according to
The Disneyization of Society, “to Disneyfy means to translate or transform an object into something superficial and even simplistic.”
The term can also be used to describe the internationalization of American mass culture; the notion of entertainment that is bigger, faster, and better but with worldwide, Americanized uniformity. More specifically, Disneyfication to be associated with a statement about the cultural products of the Disney company itself, denoting the general process of rendering material (a fairy tale, novel, historical event) into a standardized format that is recognizable as being a product of the Walt Disney Company according to Bryman. (source)
And, well, Disneyfication is part of a vast mental PSYOPS, all about Norman Rockewellian strangeness and the incredible weight of propaganda in every corner in the fucking USA, to the point of 180 degree lies, fabrications, and entire systems that can make even the individual responsible for his or her city in ruins, crumbling, even that broken sidewalk and giant pothole, “those are my problems, and it was I that created them.”
Go to a fucking doctor, especially as a Black Woman, and see, feel, hear, touch and taste the motherfucking MDs treating you not just like Disneyfied children, but children with DD.
So collectively, the USA society — even (especially) in the chambers of power, in the higher education gulags — is a developmentally disabled and misdeveloped society that is so dangerous, we have fabrication at the nuclear level.
Here is the transcript of Truman’s radio address pertaining to the atomic bomb (emphasis added):
The world will note that the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, a military base. That was because we wished in this first attack to avoid, insofar as possible, the killing of civilians. But that attack is only a warning of things to come. If Japan does not surrender, bombs will have to be dropped on her war industries and, unfortunately, thousands of civilian lives will be lost. I urge Japanese civilians to leave industrial cities immediately, and save themselves from destruction.
‘That Hisorshima date has passed with the Japanese not even having the historical guts-truth to say who dropped those unnecessary-to-end-war-with-Japan Oppenheimer Plagues.
78 years ago. The first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima “A Military Base” according to Harry Truman.
The collateral damage concept had yet to be defined. 100,000 civilians were killed in the first seven seconds of the explosion.‘
Michel Chossudovsky, Hiroshima Day, August 6, 2023

The dangers of nuclear war are not an object of debate and analysis by the mainstream media.
Public opinion is carefully misled. ” All options on the table”. Nuclear weapons are portrayed as peace-making bombs.
Did you know that tactical nuclear weapons or so-called mininukes with an explosive capacity between one third and six times a Hiroshima bomb are considered, according to scientific opinion, on contract to the Pentagon as “harmless to the surrounding civilian population because the explosion is underground”.
It’s a lie. (source)
And why the allusion to Disneyfication? Infantilization? Walmartization? Now here we go, yet another treaty broken with First Nations:
Drum roll, on those Nakba boys and girls with the money, and then the dirt poor ones wanting a service job serving slushies at this park that needs nuking, for sure:
Known as the Trail of Tears, the forced removal of Native Americans to Oklahoma was one of the most inhumane policy implementations in American history, but it was not an isolated incident.
Nearly 16,000 members of the Cherokee Nation were forced, under armed guard in 1831, to leave their native homeland in the southeastern part of the United States and trek more than 1,000 miles to what would eventually become the state of Oklahoma.
This story was reported by Gaylord News, a Washington reporting project of the Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Oklahoma. This series titled “Exiled to Indian Country” details the stories of how each of Oklahoma’s 39 tribes wound up in the state.
Approximately 4,000 Cherokees died along the way, never making it to the land designated by the U.S. government as Indian Territory.
Removal of the Choctaw Nation commenced even earlier in 1830. Like the Cherokees, they left behind homes and a way of life developed over generations to start over in an alien environment on the edge of the prairie.
But the Cherokee and Choctaw nations are only two of the tribes with a removal story. There are 39 tribes in Oklahoma, five native to the state’s boundaries, that have stories to be told — each with its own Trail of Tears.
It doesn’t matter to the dirty Blinken and Nuland and Kagan and Yellen and Garland and the other Izio-ra-hell First monsters. Remove by force and with bullets, the Palestinians, or how about that Andy, Boy, and his Americanos?
Jackson believed that moving the tribes west of the Mississippi River was essential to national security, and he had no qualms about violating existing treaties, according to Jackson biographer Jon Meacham.
“The southern states were anxious for more land, especially to grow cotton, and the Creek, Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw and Seminole tribes held rich acreage — great chunks of which would become modern-day Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee,” Meacham wrote.
Appeals from the tribes that they held the land by treaty fell on deaf ears in Washington. Jackson simply did not believe the tribes had title to the land, and he would not tolerate competing sovereignties in the United States.
Opponents of the Indian Removal Act said the policy was immoral and illegal, but it was approved in 1830 by a wide margin in the U.S. Senate.
So, August 9, Nagasaki murders, is approaching, but the world is captivated by Trump and Hunter and Cluster Bombs and that Dirty Oppenheimer and the dirty Barbie, and alas, this is what Disneyfication and Infantilization does to the world while a pig like Anderson Vanderbilt CIA-Cooper can’t even sit and talk with amazing philosopher and thinker and activist and now presidential runner, Cornel West.
The project is already attracting controversy, however, for a lack of engagement with the Cherokee Nation (the proposed development site is located on the Cherokee Reservation in Craig County, Oklahoma).
“Cherokee government officials weren’t at the announcement event. They say they weren’t invited until the day before the event,” according to an article by Molly Young for the Oklahoman. “Tribal leaders said they met with developers about a year ago, when they were filled in about a vision for a theme park near Vinita. They said they didn’t hear anything else until this week when the proposal was revealed to widespread fanfare.” (source)
It’s a fucking Holly-Dirt a la Pizza-Pepsi Hut disaster prime for dumb and dumber Americans making their summer plans now to RV across the land to learn about more lies. [According to an article by Nate Chute for the Oklahoman, the amusement park “will feature regional themes, like Great Plains, Bayou Bay, Big Timber Falls, Stony Point Harbor, Liberty Village and Electropolis.”]
And the money behind this Indian Killer? Another fraudster:
[The executive director for the creative team behind the park is multi-millionaire Gene Bicknell. A native of Pittsburgh, Kansas, he joined the Pizza Hut franchise network in 1962, just four years after the first location opened in Wichita. … He aggressively expanded after PepsiCo. bought Pizza Hut and took his company public under the name National Pizza Co., later known as NPC International Inc.
Under Bicknell, the company operated hundreds of Pizza Hut locations worldwide, as well as taking over Tony Romas and operating some Wendy’s locations, too. He sold the company in 2006 for $615 million, setting off a tax battle with his home state. At the time, NPC operated 790 Pizza Hut stores in the United States.
More:A theme park could transform the Cherokee reservation. Officials say they haven’t been looped in
Gene Bicknell had Kansas repay him $63 million after tax battle
A tax dispute between Bicknell and the state of Kansas stemmed from where he resided at the time of the NPC sale. Bicknell claimed he moved to Florida three years before the sale while the Kansas Department of Revenue maintained he was living in Kansas during the tax years the sale was made. (Source)

So, soon, coming to a Blue State near you, the We Can Survive a Nuclear War Theme Park:
Now, the Bulletin of Atmoic Scientists leave out the reality that Russia wants NOTHING to do with nuclear way, strategic weapons and big bang MOABs. Here’s your fucking Madman Morman:
Theme park with a three story life like statue of Romney where you get to drive a golf cart through his anus.
Senator Mitt Romney has an op-ed in the New York Times arguing that we must prepare for Vladimir Putin to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine. Romney says that we should take Russia’s nuclear threats seriously—Russian TV has even been broadcasting speculative scenarios showing how Putin could wipe out the British Isles—and prepare a “response.”
Romney does not spend much time considering whether U.S. actions could make Russian use of nuclear weapons more or less likely. He argues that Vladimir Putin might become “cornered and delusional” as Russia continues to lose the war, and admits that this could lead Russia to turn, in desperation, to the use of nukes. But for Romney, this is not an argument for adjusting U.S. conduct in order to reduce the risk that Putin will take such an insane step. The key paragraph of the op-ed reads as follows:
Some will conclude that to avoid provoking Russia—and thus avoid the prospect of a possible Russian nuclear strike—we should pre-emptively restrain Ukraine from routing the Russian military. We could limit the weapons we send, hold back on intelligence and pressure President Volodymyr Zelensky to settle. I disagree; free nations must continue to support Ukrainians’ brave and necessary defense of their country. Failing to continue to support Ukraine would be like paying the cannibal to eat us last. If Mr. Putin, or any other nuclear power, can invade and subjugate with near impunity, then Ukraine would be only the first of such conquests. Inevitably, our friends and allies would be devoured by brazen, authoritarian nuclear powers, the implications of which would drastically alter the world order.
This is a very useful example of a dangerous, stupid kind of logic that we can expect to hear more and more. It is important to understand exactly why it is so stupid and dangerous. (source)
Again, Russia lost 27 million people defeating the Nazi’s. USA? 425,000.
Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev once said that “a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought,”
and five major nuclear weapon states, including the United States, repeated this statement earlier this year. Yet many in the US defense establishment—the military, government, think tanks, and industry—promote the perception that a nuclear war can be won and fought. Moreover, they do so in a voice that is influential, respected, well-funded, and treated with deference. The US defense leadership’s methodical messaging to its workforce helps shape the views of this massive, multi-sector constituency that includes advocates, future leaders, and decision makers. It advances a view of nuclear weapon policies that intensifies and accelerates the new nuclear arms race forming between the United States, China, and Russia.
Perhaps these beliefs are unsurprising, coming as they are from the defense leaders of a global superpower. But given humankind’s stake in the information that US service members receive regarding their roles in the nuclear weapons complex, US defense leadership messaging warrants a spotlight. This is especially necessary, given the current crisis in Ukraine.
The 23-chapter Guide to Nuclear Deterrence in the Age of Great Power Competition provides an excellent and representative case study for examining this critical messaging. This guide is published by the Louisiana Tech Research Institute, which provides support for the US Air Force Global Strike Command. It is written by nuclear arms experts for the approximately 30,000 members of the US Air Force Global Strike Command and the “700,000 total force airmen who engage in the profession of arms.” All of the authors have direct or indirect connections with the nuclear weapons complex or associated think tanks, and several of the authors have held senior positions with the Air Force Global Strike Command, US Strategic Command, and other national security agencies in the US government. The guide’s messaging is comprehensive but dangerously skewed.

These dirty penis-envying, phallic licking Americanos, male or female. This is how the USA thinks!
Russia, the adults in the room. So, bent on destroying Russians and that largest land mass country, all of that, A-Okay for dumb as dirt Americano’s getting that 6.9 percent APR on that $150,000 Mercedes RV all outfitted to visit Andrew Jackson’s Museo de Pizza-Pepsi Hut Americanos Idiotos!
It is high time for the American public to recognize that our only hope for a survivable future is one where arms control and nuclear disarmament once again serve as the cornerstone of a U.S.-Russian relationship, and that the shortest possible path toward achieving that objective is for Russia to win its war against Ukraine.
And for those politicians in the U.S. and Europe who have invested their political futures on the suicidal mission of feeding Ukraine’s anti-Russian fantasies?
Khren Im. (Source — Scheer Report, Ritter: When Vladimir Putin was recently asked about the potential use of nuclear weapons in the context of Ukraine, an understanding of back-alley Russian slang was needed to understand his response.
“For Russia, this is possible if a threat is created to our territorial integrity, independence and sovereignty, the existence of the Russian state. Nuclear weapons are created in order to ensure our security in the broadest sense of the word and the existence of the Russian state.”
Putin’s answer reflected long-standing Russian nuclear doctrine, which postulates the use of nuclear weapons in the case of an existential threat, nuclear or otherwise, to the survival of Russia.
Putin then sought to put the audience at ease.
“But we, firstly, do not have such a need,” Putin noted, “and secondly, the very factor of reasoning on this topic already lowers the possibility of lowering the threshold for the use of weapons. This is the first part.”
What came next was classic Putin.
“The second is that we have more such weapons [i.e., tactical nuclear weapons] than the NATO countries. They know about it and all the time they persuade us to start talks on reductions.”
Fuck this country, then and now:
Gum Shan. Gold Mountain. That was what the people in Guangdong Province called the faraway land where the native population had red hair and blue eyes, and it was rumored that gold nuggets could be plucked from the ground. According to an account in the San Francisco Chronicle, a merchant visiting from Canton, the provincial capital—likely soon after the discovery of gold at Sutter Creek, in 1848—wrote to a friend back home about the riches that he had found in the mountains of California. The friend told others and set off across the Pacific Ocean himself. Whether from the merchant’s letter, or from ships arriving in Hong Kong, news of California’s gold rush swept through southern China.
Men began scraping together funds, often using their family’s land as collateral for loans, and crowding aboard vessels that took as long as three months to reach America. They eventually arrived in the thousands. Some came in search of gold; others were attracted by the lucrative wages that they could earn working for the railroad companies laying down tracks to join the Eastern and Western halves of the United States; still others worked in factories making cigars, slippers, and woollens, or found other opportunities in the American West.
They were mostly peasants, often travelling in large groups from the same village. They wore the traditional male hair style of the Qing dynasty, shaved pate in the front and a braid down to the waist in the back. They were escaping a homeland beset by violent rebellions and economic privation. They came seeking the vast, open spaces of the American frontier—where, they believed, freedom and opportunity awaited.
As the Chinese presence grew, however, it began to stir the anxieties of white Americans. Violence, often shocking in its brutality, followed. America, in the middle of the nineteenth century, was engaged in an epic struggle over race. The Civil War, by the latest estimates, left three-quarters of a million dead. In the turbulent years of Reconstruction that followed, at least two thousand Black people were lynched. Largely forgotten in this defining period of American history, however, is the virulent racism that Chinese immigrants endured on the other side of the country. According to “The Chinese Must Go” (2018), a detailed examination by Beth Lew-Williams, a professor of history at Princeton, in the mid eighteen-eighties, during probably the peak of vigilantism, at least a hundred and sixty-eight communities forced their Chinese residents to leave. In one particularly horrific episode, in 1885, white miners in Rock Springs, in the Wyoming Territory, massacred at least twenty-eight Chinese miners and drove out several hundred others. (New Yorker, 2021)
As we say, the Americanos must go the way of the dodo.
Hunting, deforestation, and invasive species. The way of the dodo, please, for Americanos, and U-Inbred-Kingdomers, EuroTrashLandians, Isra-Hellions?
Dodos (Raphus cucullatus) were endemic to Mauritius, which is an island in the Indian Ocean just 500 miles east of Madagascar. The island of Mauritius has an area of just 720 square miles and has various habitats — including forests, swamps, lagoons, mangroves, and rivers. Although it’s not known for certain, it is believed that dodos largely inhabited forests and ate a mixture of nuts, fruit, seeds, and roots. Additionally, they may have been able to use their large, powerful beak to break open coconuts.
Portuguese sailors first discovered these fascinating birds in the early 1500s. However, the first documented mention of them was not until 1598, when Dutch explorers spotted them. The last sighting of a dodo was in 1662 by Volkert Evertsz, a Dutch sailor who was shipwrecked on the island. Although it likely took a few more years for the dodos to die out completely, it is estimated that they were completely extinct by the 1690s.
Bye-bye, American Pie:
