In a corporate Police state that hides its true nature under the illusion of ‘democracy’ the Police, army and numerous government bureaucrats have to be portrayed as heroes.

These order following men and women are the very people who help maintain the current state of human slavery, not the tiny number of billionaires who own and control them. That is why they have to be glorified, made into demi-gods, made into heroes.

The mainstream media’s role is to produce propaganda that glorifies the corporate Police state. They will make the viewers believe that left is right, and up is down, but only if it serves the interests of the corporate elites.

Their purpose is to mislead, distract, and control. That is what they do, and they do it very well.

Peter Parker? Nope, it's Flash. 

They lie to you because that is their job.

Mainstream media propaganda is an extremely powerful weapon for the handful of families that own this planet. Do it correctly and the slave will actually be grateful for his condition of slavery. He will worship his master, and never, ever want to be free. Do it really well and he won’t even see the prison, and will laugh and scoff at anybody that points it out to him. After all, how can he want to be free when he doesn’t even realise that he is living in a cage?

Any reality on corporate mainstream media would expose the very owners of the media groups as the duplicitous autocratic cartel of slave masters that they actually are. Therefore, no reality is allowable on television. I’m not being particularly smart here. I’m just stating facts that we already know.

Only a bumbling, stumbling moron would watch one of their television ‘programmes’ recognise it as the Police state propaganda that it is, and then go onto the Internet and complain about it on his blog.

Yes.

I Know.

I am that moron.

Here's Captain white bread in one of his uniforms

I admit it, but I’m not going to waste too much of my time on ‘The Flash.’ It’s a superhero show where the heroes are the Police and the villains are muggers and bank robbers. Thank God for the Police. Without them we would be experiencing an epidemic of muggings and bank robberies every day of the week. Wouldn’t we? Thankfully the good old Police are there to protect us helpless victims, err I mean civilians, and everything is right with the world.

Err, except, that it’s not.

The Police are not there to protect and serve us. They are there to control us. It’s called a ‘Police state’ for a reason, not a politician state, or a banker state. The Police are the attack dogs of the corporate masters. They obey orders and smash all dissent, all by the letter of the law. See Nazi Germany and the Occupy movement for recent examples. I’m not stating my own personal opinions here, and I do not hate on people because I have some sort of personal grudge. All I’m doing is stating reality, and if you think that comic books are more important than reality then you are already beyond help.

But back to the silly little cop show. The Flash might as well be Peter Parker/Spiderman. He has girl problems, is traumatised by a family death, is very smart, attractive, young, and he is a cop, so a good guy.

The narrative was typical cop show stuff. Not interesting at all. Comic book fans will enjoy the references to comic book stuff (Gorilla Grodd) but it’s just another in a long, long line of hero cops saving helpless victims show. Remember viewers, you are a victim, you cannot help yourself. Wait for the uniforms. Wait for those in positions of authority to help/arrest you.

Professor X makes a guest appearance

See I told you I wasn’t going to waste too much of my time on what is ultimately just another pointless television show.

My summary: It’s a statist, corporate Police state show, with a young, powered up protagonist to make it all look cool to the children watching at home.

It’s a show that glorifies ignorance, apathy and the New World order.

It teaches children that goons in uniforms are gods and that the biggest problem in the banking sector is bank robbers.

Why rob a bank in a mask when you can do it in a suit and tie? Rob a bank in a mask and the Police will try to kill you. Rob it in a suit and they will protect you.

Oh, was I talking about reality again?

Sorry about that.

As for Flash, the super contemporary, super-smart television ‘programme’ for good little slaves?

Go on, knock yourselves out.

Enjoy it.

Don’t listen to me.

What do I know?

I’m just free.

That’s all.


Rating: 2/10 (Because the acting is okay, and at least Flash has a good relationship with his Dad and that’s rare in new world order dramas today).

Comic book review: Cloaks #1- Robin Hood meet One Direction, meet David Blaine, meet Occupy Wallstreet

Writer: Caleb Monroe
Artist: Mariano Navarro
Publisher: Boom Studios
Released: 4th September 2014

Cloaks #1 is a cute, fluffy, merry little waltz of a comic book, set on the streets of one of those big cities that you always see in comic books, with a young street magician protagonist and a couple of brief allusions to the criminal scumbags operating out of the financial district of the city.

The books begins with a funeral, but even the corpse is smiling, and when a street magician is intimidated by fat cops they come across as silly rather than as the menacing shoot you in the head for their own safety kind of coward, thug cops that have been causing so many problems in American cities like Ferguson, Missouri recently.

The main protagonist in ‘Cloaks’ is a cute boyband type who helps orphans and does magic tricks for free in the streets, organising his gigs via social-media. How does he make a living? It appears that he robs the rich to give to the poor, using his parkour skills (which are shown in the best panel of the book) and other street magic tricks to make his daring, and cinematic thefts.

I had problems rooting for this character, as he is a bit too cute, a bit too perfect, a bit too fluffy to come across as a real, flesh and blood person. He’s fantasy boyfriend material for young girls, so as an adult male it’s a bit difficult for me to get too excited about his adventures, even though I’m obviously in favour of Robin Hood type characters in my comic books, especially in this day and age of corporate, state sanctioned crime, with no consequences for rich criminals and massive consequences for anybody that doesn’t want to join their criminal control systems.

The book ends with a chase and the boy given an ultimation by what appears to be a gang of special agents. Who are they, are whom do they work for? Are they state sanctioned three letter (CIA, FBI) criminals, or people trying to do some good in the world? That’s the hook for the next issue, but is it enough for me? I’m not sure it is, but that’s not to say it’s a bad book, because it isn’t. The art is big, bold and colourful, the story is easy to follow and the tone of the writing is reader friendly, light and enjoyable. I’d recommend it to young female comic book fans, but for for an old git like myself it’s just a bit too light, a bit too unthreatening and a bit too cute, cuddly and fluffy for me to get terribly excited by it all.

Rating: 7/10
