Maybe you don't understand how their profit works. Maybe they get loans at 0% from the Federal Reserve, and don't declare it. Maybe the CCP gives them SUPER LUCRATIVE deals on "films" that are never seen provided that Dizzey sees things their way.

I understand, and my definition of profit here is "Legitimately selling shit people want at a price above what it cost to produce, and getting more investment/financing because of it."

I get that they are kept going with funds and financing from DC, Wall Street, and esp. China. But the products themselves are declining.

There was some hope a few months ago that the Disney Execs were starting to get serious about not alienating the public, but the recent kowtowing to the point of a busted forehead from hitting the tatamis in gross repeated subjection to the Alphabet Mafia has pretty much nixed that line, at least for now. Some think it's just a big head pat as Chapek is too new to be effective in shaping the bureaucracy, and trying ride out the Shame Game, but I think that's a bit of unjustified Hopium at this point.

One somewhat different tangent: We were told manufacturing was old school and to let it go. I'm seeing hints now that we must preserve Regime Media and Services at any price. Of course, we saw some of that already in the Financial Crisis.

I hope that "car trouble" blockade is a joke. I can see boycotting, but I disagree with blocking the entrance for those who want to visit.

That's just straight up anti-Semitism.

Most secular Jews are very liberal politically. What you're complaining about is liberal policies, nothing inherent to Judaism.

The Jewish religion is specifically opposed to homosexuality, the two sexes dressing in each other's clothes, and incest. I don't know of a specific line about pedophilia in the Old Testament, but I'm sure it is not approved of by Orthodox Judaism.

I'm going to disagree here.

If you see black men committing crimes at far higher rates than Whites or Chinese people, are you being racist for noticing that?

Likewise if you see that what you consider corrupt, immoral organizations being headed predominately by Jewish people, are you being racist for noticing that?

The work that has to be done here, is actually researching if all the people above ARE Jewish, and who has been left out of the list of high level executives.

Having said that Epstein was Jewish, Ghislaine Maxwell isn't technically Jewish, but her father was, Les Wexner is Jewish, Jean-Luc Brunnel probably isn't. When looking at foreign policy of the United States almost all the bad actors seem to have dual citizenship - for example Victoria Nuland.

A friend once pointed out to me that orthodox Jews go way WAY out of their way to avoid the laws of their supposed God and it's true. They work on the Sabbath for example, and have all these crazy loopholes so it's not TECHNICALLY work. Maybe pedophilia is perfectly acceptable, PROVIDED that the children they are targeting aren't Jewish?

One thing is certain though, Disney has become toxic in the last few years. Honestly, I would say all major media has become toxic. Part of the rise of the Internet is due not in any small part to people trying to escape this toxicity only to have the major players become outright toxic themselves.

Is this broken down somewhere? I looked at the top 10 billionaires, and there aren't too many Jews. The Two richest guys are a Scandinavian from Arizona whose Stepfather was Cuban (Bezos) and a South African Engineer (Musk).

Just like Bishops once declared Capybaras to be fish for Lent and Fridays for inland South America, when they're big mammal rodents.

Or Shi'a declaring one-night marriages to legalize prostitution.

Nothing unique to Jews here.

And the number of Orthodox Jews in power is negligible.

And misleading. On the Zoom call, there were plenty of POCs and non-Jew Disney execs talking about being Trans and 50% LGBTQ+ representation.

This is a great example of "List only the Jews and leave out the other members of the leadership", part of the Judeo-Bolshevik Theory "11 of 19 first soviet were Jews..." when it was 1, maybe 2, just as many Armenians like Mikoyan (Miko-ian if it was anglicized). Or that 33% of the NKVD was Latvian who were only 2% of the Soviet Union's population.

I was even told once the CCP was Jewish because a couple of Brooklyn Bolsheviks moved there in the 40s and 50s. Nevermind the Chinese are infamously insular and that the guy who moved there was already whinging about "Abandoning Mao for Consumerism" in an interview in the 90s.

It's also interesting that the most Aunty Semite accounts are ALSO the ones pushing a Absolute Monarchist or Maximum Leader or Crypto-Reax (esp. Torba) program that is 180 degrees from Americanism. Another reason I believe it's Agency peddled, that and we know for a fact with actual Court introduced evidence that LEO Agencies paid Anti-Semites in the past to publish and disseminate info.

What I mean is that when it's claimed "X is all controlled by Jews" - and they show 5 Jewish people in power of that organization, you DAMNED WELL BETTER check to see just what "power" makes up that organization. It might be 100 people, and 5 of them are Jewish.

I am not one of those people who fall into that category of blaming a single group. Well, it might be a single group, but it's not a single ethnic group. The single group which is my best guess are sociopaths.

Or that 33% of the NKVD was Latvian who were only 2% of the Soviet Union's population.

Just to mitigate Latvian Communist smears, I would say this is in part because the entire elite regiment or battalion of Latvian Rifles went over to the USSR and were folded into the NKVD. Since they mostly were trained to speak Latvian, Polish, Russian, and German, they were particularly useful as both well trained and able to speak with many groups.

To further explain my position, so its best understood, I do find it troubling that Jewish people in power often seem to be exempt from oversight, because they will readily use the call of "Antisemitism" to shield themselves. Israel does this frequently. I suspect that Bernie Madoff avoided scrutiny for years because he was Jewish. They DO seem to close ranks.

I had a Jewish friend in college that would PROPERLY condemn the actions in the first Iraq War (Desert Storm) and the lies that led to that, but exempted everything Israel did and does - even things like the Lavon Affair or the USS Liberty. My first taste of deep cognitive dissonance within a person. He's generally a moral person, but not when it comes to Israel. Maybe he's just differently brainwashed than I am.

Remember, the US went to war with Vietnam for, what, 8 years over the fake Gulf of Tonkin Incidence, but they didn't do shit with the USS Liberty. Our government practices no consistent set of moral standards and it's very evident with Israel. Right now what is going on between Russia and Ukraine is being called "genocide", but what is being done to the Palestinians, that's a real genocide, and one of the slowest, and most deliberate ones in all of human history.

Every race says "Poor me, but when I did it, it was okay", but I do agree that anti-semitism gets thrown around when it's bullshit. Just like Blacks squirm and try to claim African Slavery wasn't the same as Southern Slavery. It was actually worse, since the Africans practiced human sacrifice prior to Christianity/Islam.

richwicks says

I suspect that Bernie Madoff avoided scrutiny for years because he was Jewish.

He scammed more Jews than anything, leveraging his honorary chairmanships in Jewish Orgs (in the hopes of him donating more, but again, every group does that) to network more cash into his BS funds. His general approach to regulators and investigators was "Do you know who I am? I am the Chairman of the Stock Exchange! You liitle pup!" I remember reading about him browbeating those merely coming with routine inquiries.

One thing that pissed me off was the unjustified moaning over the Passion of the Christ.

By the way, and off-topic, notice the traditional display of Satan in that film as androgynous.

I never saw the whole film. It just looked like a bunch of torture porn in the parts I have been exposed to. I don't think I'd enjoy that. I've never seen The Last Temptation of Christ either - heard that was just about a temptation of Christ before his execution - it wasn't sacrilegious in any way, just that it was a piece of fiction of what Christ was TEMPTED to do and didn't do. I'd have to see the film, but it actually seems to be a positive message in terms of Christianity.

I think there's a constant push to make people paranoid of one another.

To go off on a tangent, I have listened to David Duke and he is a historian on Eastern Europe. His hypothesis is that Ukraine is basically controlled by a Jewish mafia that doesn't give a damned about the Ukrainians and in fact despises them as a result of what happened to Jews there 100 years ago.

My family is part Polish, and my cousin studied in Warsaw Poland while it was still under defacto Soviet control. He told me that when he talked to the Poles there that there was a saying that survived before WWII - supposedly Jewish people would say things like "You own the street, we own everything else".

I was dragged to a Holocaust Museum in Washington DC a few years ago. In it wooden sidewalks and cobblestone streets were recreated, and I was told that Jews were not allowed to walk on the street, but were confined to the sidewalks. One thing I noticed, is walking on the cobblestone was very hard on your ankles because it is entirely uneven, and I was even worried about my mother injuring her ankle, and the sidewalks were a relief to get on. It made me wonder if the sidewalks were exclusively for Jews, and the cobblestone for everybody else.

There's a lot of stuff which I suspect isn't true with WWII but I don't really care too much about it. Propaganda from WWII survived to the present day no doubt.

My real viewpoint is that if there is a "Jewish conspiracy" well, if people are dumb enough to fall for it, maybe they are the super-race. Too bad for us. It's not like people have much sympathy for cows and pigs. Evolutionary algorithms are entirely ruthless in fitting a function to a problem. Well, I think we're part of that process. It just is what it is, and there's many attempts to fix various problems. My irritation is that a lot of problems are diversions - that fitting yourself to that "solution" is counterproductive to your survival. We're not on a level playing field - in an AI simulation, it's a level playing field, the different "AIs" in the simulation don't misdirect the others, they simply out compete.

Hmm, maybe Public Schooling is actually an attack on the middle class by the oligarchy... Certainly I think mass media is.

My beef with the Jewish Conspiracy is the lockstep telepathic instant collusion that is required.

Spend an hour with 2 Jews and one will get 3 strong opinions. Something they have in common with the Irish as well as taking the opposite side for shits and giggles ("arguing with an Irishman").

AmericanKulak says

It doesn't require telepathic collusion. It requires shared goals at the expense of all other groups. For example, a Jew going before a Jewish judge might get favorable treatment. It would just require "an understanding".

AGAIN, I'm not saying this goes on, I'm saying this is how it would be done. White people engaged in this in parts of the South. If a group of white people lynched a black man, even if they were found guilty, the Judge would give them a slap on the wrist. They don't even have to be fully conscious of it, it could be subconscious.

This is how "the white conspiracy" happened. White people in certain areas would "protect their own". You can see this happen among many groups, but the main group is the criminal group today. That trumps race.

AmericanKulak says

Spend an hour with 2 Jews and one will get 3 strong opinions.

Well, that would probably be true with me, since if I spent an hour with 2 Jews, there would be 3 of us. I find often people will argue just to argue in the abstract, and that annoys me. They won't argue their position but an ideology. People that argue ideologies are people that haven't really explored the ideology to it's logical contradictions. My friend in college would often do that, where I would realize I had not fully thought out my position. I think everybody can easily get enamored with ideologies when they are young.

AmericanKulak says

Truth be told, I'm Irish, Welch, English, German, and Polish - I've probably have some Jewish ancestry in me as well. It's not important for me to know.

Honestly, I just want to figure shit out before I'm dead, I don't have any vendettas.

I have a Jewish relative who likes to point out that you would not be able get a job with the city of Chicago for a long time unless you were Irish. The Irish had the political organization and numbers in big cities to favor their own.

Yes, Jews tended and still do likely tend to favor other Jews for the same reason. Having a common origin makes you more likely to feel affinity with someone.

But the history of America has been a gradual breakdown of strict ethnic divisions, at least among white people.

Patrick says

But the history of America has been a gradual breakdown of strict ethnic divisions, at least among white people.

Some people complain it's ONLY among white people.

If white people do this today, it's "racism". You're in Silly Con Valley like me - have YOU ever seen racism? I have. I've seen it among Chinese and Indians but not among whites. I know a group within a company that is headed by an Indian that ONLY hires Indians, not sure if he limits it to a particular caste. One engineer sued at Cisco for discrimination because his boss was only promoting people within HIS caste.

To me, this is 3rd world bullshit and is fodder for "this group of people, they're backward" and I would argue in those instances - they ARE backward.

richwicks says

Well, the Jewish Judge (and Jewish Prosecutor) gave the Rosenbergs the death penalty and the key evidence against them was sniffed out by McCarthy's "Lapdog", a gay lawyer and later Trump patron named Roy Cohn. Ethnic connections, sure, but they can only be pushed so far and interests don't always align.

A group famous for tax farming is never going to be liked, even if the vast majority were impoverished rag dealers, peddlers, or smelly chicken pluckers. Nobody likes the guy who fronted the tax money and has to make it up and then some, with half a dozen Kokhol Cossacks in tow with quarterstaffs to make sure every window and cow gets counted.

Then there's the one-worlder Esperanto speaker ("To Soar") who inventoried Jewish property during WW2 and seeks to impose Marcuse on us all.

Going back to the Roy Cohn, there is definitely a radical NY wealth ring, heavily but not wholly Jewish, that LOATHES Cohn for his McCarthy Service and his later extended circle and support of Trump, Guiliani, etc. There's a long ass, convoluted story of the back and forth between a segment of the NY Radical Elite and Cohn/Trump/Guiliani that should be a book. I suspect this group is the one that dethroned the Cuomos and installed DeBlasio, Hochul, and Adams, I have a theory on the Reprobate (in the original theological sense, backsliders) WASP/Radical Jew Technocrat Oligarch alliance that explains the SDS, Weathermen, Anti-50s propaganda, etc. etc. etc. that needs fleshing out.

The Cuomo thing is another tale where we'll find a bunch of shit out about much later. You can't remove THE political family in New York with massive patronage tentacles for over half a century without a serious and well funded and powerful force. What did the Cuomos do or not do?

I'm part Ashkenazi, part Sephardic, since about 1600s in the USA (long before the early 20th East European Jew wave), my other half is Norwegian, Irish, and Prussian/Huguenot exiles.

I think really it's culture that binds people far beyond race, but religion is part of culture as well. I really hate this idea that the US is "multi-cultural" - it's just to divide us. I can see why a single religion was and sometimes still is imposed on people.

I would argue that the current incarnation of "the left" are extremely racist and work like bastards to create conflict and problems between people.

I can appreciate Malcolm X's (one time) belief that maybe self segregation would be preferable, so long as each group controlled the policies within their community, although I can also appreciate THIS could lead to inevitable conflict. It's just a mess we started to divided up as races like 100,000 years ago.

Speaking of multi-cultural, I see a lot of Alt Right and Bitchuters waxing poetic about despotism, paternal autocracy, or outright absolute Monarchism, as well as blasting Anglo-Saxon/British history and mythos. Torba Fanboi types.

The Founding Fathers considered themselves to be mere Englishmen who were simply taking their natural rights back from a Crown and Parliament that violated it, and of course the US and the Town Hall system of Representative Government bounded by God-Given Natural Rights was initiated by the most radical Protestant Reformationists in existence.

The idea that we should have a Monarch that rules by Fiat backed by a State Inerrant Church and other ultra Traditional Central/Eastern European type ideas is almost exactly the opposite of Americanism. Only Communism could be further away, and really, when America was founded, the opponent was the Absolute Monarchy with an Enforced State Religion. There's a reason the Colonialists were called Separatists and Dissenters, be they Baptist or Reformed or Congregationalist or Presbyterian, and their biggest beef was the mandatory tithe, and they would be even more damned if they had to tithe to Rome instead of not-Protestant-enough Anglicanism to pay to (hence "Puritan" - the Anglican church was not Reformed enough).

"Better a 100 churches with their own error, than one universal church with 100 errors" - Congregationalist 17th Century Saying. And the thinking of the Founders when it came to the 1st Amendment given their disappointing experience with Anglicanism and their absolute terror over Saint Barts day and Continental Absolute Monarchy.

The Church also being a stand-in for lifestyle/philosophical ideas.

But I see Fake MAGA making the case for 18th Century Absolute Monarchies, makes me barf.

An Official Kultur is being imposed from the top down inorganically and dissent from it is being punished, it is a different flavor but the same basic idea as having a One State Church. Just in this case it's about Trannies, Masks, PUFA impossible burgers, and other Current Things rather than Grace Vs. Works and suchlike.

Also, I'm POSITIVE that the Agencies are funding/supporting all kinds of whacky shit to further erode trust and belief in the ability to repair Americanism (but this time from the Right, to radicalize them, undermine America, and to justify budgets against "right wing extremism". Many of them are clearly from boiler rooms/chat rooms and are getting paid and foreigners: They can give you a complete rundown of some Eastern European area going back 5 centuries, know many minor actors (on the world stage) from Poland and Ukraine, but have no clue about US History. I suspect many are within a few hundred miles of the Vistula

As a stand in for a universal state Church: "TheScience(tm) is never wrong, though it might change from time to time." This is why even in this forum, we have people who try to defend Masking having a Public Health impact when we have abundant Evidence it was ineffectual.

That's why we need a New Church commission, stat, if the Republicans take back the House.

Another thing to consider is the utter absence of any cleric characters in Movies and TV and other media.

When pondering that at least 1/3 of Americans are Church going and/or Strong believers and more than half are Christians of some kind.

Such characters were routine until the 1970s.

Hawley to introduce legislation targeting Disney copyright protections


“For years, @Disney has gotten special copyright protections from the federal government — allowing them to charge consumers more. Woke corporations shouldn’t get sweetheart deals. I’ll introduce legislation this week to end their special protections — enough is enough,” the senator wrote.

The Washington Examiner has contacted Hawley’s office for more details about the plan.

The copyright on Disney’s classic Steamboat Willie Mickey Mouse, the first iteration of the character, is set to expire at the end of 2023, and Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) recently wrote to Disney CEO Bob Chapek telling him that he and some other GOP lawmakers oppose “further extensions applicable” to the company’s copyrights. Banks argued those should become public domain.

Republicans in both Florida and Washington, D.C., have been upset about Disney’s public lobbying against the Florida legislation, which is called the Parental Rights in Education bill but has been branded the “Don't Say Gay” bill by critics. The legislation bans classroom instruction of sexual orientation and gender identity through the third grade.

Disney has successfully lobbied for copyright extensions in the past. Disney pushed for the Copyright Act of 1976 and then worked to get the Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998 signed into law. Detractors of the latter bill had branded it the “Mickey Mouse Protection Act.”

This is true. Our copyright laws are flagrantly corrupted by endless extensions to protect Disney profits.
