Michael Stuart Kelly Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Simone Biles pulls out of Olympic team gymnastics competition over mental health The story is that she is getting neurotic with expectations of perfection. But when I see how conflicted she is in relation to her team mates, I'm reminded of the internal struggles of the top people going on strike in you know what book. Yup. I'm betting Atlas is shrugging. I don't think there is a John Galt out there showing up in Simone Biles's life, but I do think it highly probable she took a look at the mess they made of the world and simply decided she didn't want to be an icon of that. Racism, wokeness, 24/7 hatred of scapegoats, constant covert media and social media manipulation, a growing centralized monster that no one sees, but everyone feels and so on. I think she wanted something more. Something special that was hers and hers alone. If that's the case, I say good on her. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted August 9, 2021 Author Share Posted August 9, 2021 On the woke front, the purple haired Rapinoe thing is bombing big time. Subway Franchise Owners Beg Corporate to Pull Megan Rapinoe Ads WWW.BITCHUTE.COM article - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9870861/Subway-franchises-want-DROP-Megan-Rapinoe-ads-woke-politics-upsetting-customers.html Website: https://saltmustflow.com OTHER... If you are in sports and want to piss on America as part of your claim to fame, you have to be a winner. Otherwise, you will go into the memory hole real quick. Celebration of winning by merit is one thing in the American character that Marxist indoctrination of an entire generation and the woke culture cannot eradicate no matter how hard they try. Also, I think people are getting sick of nonstop America bashing by celebrities. People who love America are in the majority and they are finally seeing the need to act like the majority.

That was then. This is now. Megan Rapinoe Did Not Make The Roster Of The Next Women’s Soccer Tournament Quote Professional soccer player Megan Rapinoe, who arguably became more famous for her protests of both the National Anthem and former President Donald Trump, just got a stunning smack in the face from reality. She should have spent more time practicing soccer than she did protesting because the 36-year-old was left off of the U.S. Women’s National Team roster for the SheBelieves Cup, ESPN reported. Like President Trump said right after discussing her and her failures in a rally: "Everything woke turns to shit." Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Stuart Kelly Posted July 27 Author Share Posted July 27 It's now 2024 and we have another Olympics surprise. The opening was staged with drag queens and esoteric allusions to look like the last supper with Jesus Christ. To quote Trump, "Everything woke turns to shit." Even the Olympics.

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted July 28 Author Share Posted July 28 When you think it can't get worse, it gets worse. The Predator Class is serving woke food to the Olympics athletes. And not good quality woke food at that. They hate it. And it does not give them the proper fuel for their sports performances. Olympic Athletes Hit With Shortages, Horrible Woke Food as Green Movement Spreads | The Gateway Pundit | by Jack Davis, The Western Journal WWW.THEGATEWAYPUNDIT.COM There's a food fight going on at the Olympics where the woke agenda is colliding with what Olympic athletes need to eat. This one is hard to fix, as the people at the top will soon find out. I hope they don't destroy the Olympics in the meantime. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Stuart Kelly Posted July 29 Author Share Posted July 29 LOLOL... Russia says it was eliminated from the Faglympics. (The word in Russian starts with O.) Is that really from the Comedy Club in 2021, though? LOL... Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Stuart Kelly Posted August 12 Author Share Posted August 12 I think I like the drag queen last supper better, and I hated that. LOL... What a bunch of dorks...

tmj Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Revenge of the 'theater kids', lol. I grumblingly assented to watching the closing ceremonies since we were in the habit of watching the events, which we really enjoy as a showcase of the pinnacle of athletic performance. Of course I couldn't watch without comment basically along the lines of 'what a bunch of dorks , crappy 'high culture/art' modern story telling further infantilized by having the commentators explain the 'meaning' of the performance. That opening sequence lived up to my expectations lol , but I will say a different segment had some nice theatrical chutzpah, they had a live piano player suspended and attached to an analog piano in true vertical orientation accompanying a live operetta singer , that I thought hit a certain mark. I'll say , exposing more western chauvinism , that at the least maybe this go 'round knocked out women's boxing from competition, there should be a limit of violence in combat sports as it pertains to the gentler sex , no ? Though not sure if brake dancing is a fair trade lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the laughing dies down, I realize this is The Olympics... So sad... Michael Please be patient... I have written much... but I have a theory. We've got a lot of backlash to what seems like inscrutable madness.. the images, metaphors, and allegories are barely accessible, yet they seem to be present and identifiable... they have a tinge of virtue signalling propaganda which panders to the predator class... and yet they are disastrously repulsive to the common man at the same time. Perhaps we should remind ourselves a bit about some art and literature during the times of Soviet Russia... in particular the kind of art and literature which pandered to the censors as meeting with approval and sufficiently positive to the State... or even disseminated as straight up propaganda while at once being subversive and conveying the opposite messages or instilling the opposite feelings in the populace. Messages can be hidden behind metaphors, allegories and perhaps even convoluted language or inscrutable imagery, and more interestingly the same thing can mean and make one feel different things depending upon who you are. Case in point Soviet propaganda which a zealot sees as a great image of what things should be, and makes him feel more zealotry for the state, but which another common man would see as a disturbing image of what needs to change, his own dissatisfaction in things now, or what must be prevented (ever more State power) in future. What is this closing ceremony presenting? Clearly it is a figure in gold... and yes... it is a bug. (Recall... you will eat ze bugs??) Moreover, the golden bug is in control, orchestrating the activities of those around it... the golden insect god (transhuman?), performs a dance which makes up the strings controlling the puppets all around.. but who are they? Nameless faceless soldier ants, drones, slaves... the plebs... all dressed the same, without individuality, a colony or commune engaging in meaningless frenetic activity spurred on in obedient response to the activity of the arbitrary dictates of one golden bug. Something about this rings true and good in the minds (or at least a part of those minds) of the predator class... something in them responds favorably, "it is art, but I can see what it means... we are the golden creatures... they are doing what they are told...the public will feel that this is how things ought to be..." But only an idiot or zealot of the predator class would not see that the vast majority of independent thinking common people would at least be perplexed and bored and at most be disturbed and repulsed. The opposite effect having been achieved...this image is not of a utopia we are all to help build... it IS a glimpse of a dystopia we are being warned to reject. Whilst virtue signalling to his owners, and to avoid cancelation, the artist will of course deny the true purpose of the art... rejection of the predator class and authoritarianism and transhumanism. The same sort of analysis perhaps may be made of the opening ceremony. The woke pandering and propaganda, the parody of the sacred ... are enough to sway the mind addled victims of the woke virus that this is a great image of unfettered self-expression, but the common folk see the desecration of the last supper and the rubbing up against each other and everything, the indiscriminate PG-13 air and dry humping orgy if you will, as utter filth and degradation, a descent into a mindless society of decay and depravity. Again, whilst virtue signalling to his owners, and to avoid cancellation, the artist will of course deny the true purpose of the art... rejection of the insanity of the woke mind virus, of depravity, and degradation. Any good artist should know that good propaganda should work well on the common man, it should instill inspiration, wonder, excitement, and positive feelings in the messages foisted upon them... it seems in no uncertain terms both the opening and closing ceremonies include "pieces" which clearly and obviously does the opposite... while pandering to the predator class. It would have required a kind of GROSS negligence and complete CLUELESSness for an artist who TRULY believed in the cause and in the propaganda, to have done this.. I cannot but think somehow it is a cry for help (artists whose souls are nourished by free expression... are feeling the oppression and censorship of the modern world probably more than anyone...) as well as a warning to the world... That said, IF I am wrong about the main artist's motive... I still stand by my theory of how this art does at once ring true to the clueless zealots of the predator class while repulsing and yes awakening and serving as a warning to common people around the world. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Stuart Kelly Posted August 12 Author Share Posted August 12 S, You are thinking through this and that is good. It is much more complex than it appears on the surface. There are many different perspectives on how to judge this kind of thing. But there is one lens I prefer to look through above all others: the top layer of the Predator Class. Why do they allow this mess to happen? They can fix it with the snap of their fingers. After all, they are the ones who can steal the audience of The Olympics with impunity. They are the ones who can mobilize gobs of money to get the artistic septic tank workers to produce their sewage. They are the ones who can ensure massive news coverage after the audience gets revolted. Shall I go on? But what's more. They are the ones to gain the most by this garbage. James Lindsay has a saying: It doesn't matter what the argument is, it's always the revolution. That goes for this kind of art. It doesn't matter what the artistic message is, it's always the revolution. If staging Rachmaninoff playing the Second Piano Concerto would get the bad guys what they want, they would fire the drag queen squad and satanist chorus line in a heartbeat. The problem is understanding what this revolution is in this context. To start with, it's not communism. Even James Lindsay says it is, but it is not. Oh, communism is present in all these huge profile social upheavals, but communism is just a strategy with a lot of literature by big brains to pretend there is substance. The end goal for the Predator Class rulers is a Feudal System where they rule and everyone else is a serf or slave (or livestock). They can no longer have a divine right of kings, but they can have a technocratic dictatorship under them running AI and biowarfare. So where does this art crap fit in? I found out. And this is something I've learned only recently in the Citizen's Guide to 5GW by Gen. Mike Flynn and Sgt. Boone Cutler. Note, this piece of information has been used ever since ancient times to take over a rival society by undermining it from within. In order to turn a peaceful society into a group of killers ready for war (or takeover by war), there has to be 4 stages. The words have varied over the centuries, but the concepts are the same. (And believe me, this is taught in Institutes of War Studies in all countries). 1. Polarization 2. Tribalization 3, Dehumanization 4. Killing The so-called art you saw in the Olympics had one purpose and only one purpose: to polarize the public. It did not matter to the top leaders what was right or wrong, what was sacred or diabolical, what was wonderful or insane, what was artistic or garbage. They wanted people hopping mad, mad enough to gravitate into tribes. Look around. It's working. That is what is happening up to a point. I opt for mocking it all because people do not gather around mockery, not the kind I do. Even in heavy-handed propaganda, without the message of hatred underlying it, mockery does not have any effect on the public. And when I mock this shit, I do not do mock with hate. I call the people engaged in this crap idiots or dorks or things like that. Silly fools and nothing more. No need to fight them. I opt out of the polarization game, yet let it be known they are mediocre on down. And I encourage others to do so. 1 hour ago, Strictlylogical said: Any good artist should know that good propaganda should work well on the common man, it should instill inspiration, wonder, excitement, and positive feelings in the messages foisted upon them... This is a premise I would check. Good propaganda is to create followers, ultimately followers willing to kill for the state or fearless leader. All those feelings you mentioned can be used as tactics at times in a propaganda campaign, but never as the main strategy. The main strategy has to be based on hatred of some collective, some identifiable enemy. Otherwise it doesn't work. This is a long discussion and it fascinates me. You are going in the right direction by analyzing all this with your own mind, not with what others are saying. That is best. Don't put Rand or anyone above your own independent judgment. Hell, don't put what I say above your own independent judgment. Even though I am always right... Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Stuart Kelly Posted August 12 Author Share Posted August 12 btw - Don't think Ayn Rand did not know this. She stated several times she was trained in propaganda by the best. So here is a mindbender for ya'. Look real close at that progression, then think of the plot of Atlas Shrugged. I will have a LOT more to say on this later.

Hell, don't put what I say above your own independent judgment. Even though I am always right... Michael Well thought out and well put. If I may speculate further, yes, in addition to simpleton zealots, the public, useful idiots... and perhaps subversive artistic geniuses, there are a myriad of other types of people, which will include the super-villain genius predator(s) with a lot of power and control... who will see that division is a "good" result for them... while being aware of much I have mentioned above and allowing much of the stage to be set as observed. I cannot say whether the artistic geniuses or the super-villain geniuses will win. (I will note parenthetically here that artists might have more access to intuition and a better feel for society and the cultural weather whereas some super-villains can be over-reliant upon a kind of materialistic rationality which denies or evades the kind of human experience which perhaps they just can't personally understand...) Who wins, will depend much on the ratio or split caused by the division... afterall, revulsion and mobilization of an overwhelming majority can snowball into something more like a unity rather than anything like division. As for being right.. and the potential tendency in us all to be right fighters... It's more important to get to know "what is true" than to get to think that "what I know" is true. Also: I don't think everything I say is always right, but I never say anything which I think is wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
