Comic book news: Thor to become a woman


‘This October, Marvel Comics evolves once again in one of the most shocking and exciting changes ever to shake one of the “big three” of Captain American, Iron Man and Thor. No longer is the classic Thunder God able to hold the mighty hammer, Mjölnir, and a brand new female hero will emerge worthy of the name THOR.’

In news that’s about as shocking as the Sun coming up in the morning, or another BBC presenter being arrested on charges of paedophilia, Marvel comics has announced that long running character the almighty Thor is to become a woman. The big question now of course being, will she be a gay woman, and the answer? Probably.

Marvel comics, the feminist liberal corporate whore of the comic book industry has long been dipping into it’s politically correct box of tricks in an attempt to spice things up and make it’s increasingly anachronistic and backwards comic books relevent to today’s Internet savvy audiences. However, the comic book giant has a serious truth telling problem. That problem revolves around the fact that they, as a large corporation owned by globalist child brainwashers Disney, are a part of the corporate tyranny that is enslaving humanity as a whole. Their problem is thus, how to make itself appear to be relevant, whilst ignoring all of the important issues of our times?

It’s simple; they turn their characters, black, female or gay. You see, in 2014 you can say pretty much whatever you want to say about ethnic groups, LBG’s (that’s lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and trans-gender) and women, just as long as you are saying nice things about them. It’s encouraged, and you get politically correct brownie points for it, everybody congratulates you on being ‘tolerant’ and ‘progressive’ and you can ignore all of the important issues of 2014 like illegal wars, NSA spying, corporate and banking corruption, political parties that represent nobody except the rich, poisons in the food and water supply, the funding of foreign terrorists and the fear of government funded terrorism as an excuse to take your rights away back home.

All of these issues can be ignored by focussing on gender, sexuality and race, so that is what mainstream comic book writers in 2014 do. The only problem with this is that it’s getting a bit tired now, and so when news comes out that Thor is to become a woman nobody gives two-shits about it. Many, many, many, many, many moons ago perhaps it would have been something worth discussing. But these days the news is released and nobody even cares. I won’t be buying the comic, but not because Thor is becoming a woman. I won’t be buying the comic because I’ve read writer Jason Aarons work on Thor before. His Thor is a US marine with powers, flying around the world ‘protecting the civilians from dictators.’ In other words, he’s a bloody idiot, written by a bloody idiot who has bought into mainstream media’s justifications for the next war, and the next war after that and the next war after that one. And so Thor is becoming a woman. Is that really the best that Marvel can do these days? Yes, sadly it is.

Obama the Gym Warrior: Public Relations Fail




http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2648339/Who-sneaked-camera-Obamas-hotel-gym-Security-questions-Polish-tabloid-runs-photos-President-working-out.html#comments

I don’t usually pay much attention to the mainstream media and their silly little political games. If you give too much of your time and attention to them you will inevitably find yourself being drawn into their disinformation paradigms like the Millennium Falcon being drawn into the Death Star by it’s tractor beam. If you get too close they’ll get you, and they’ll end up twisting your mind so much that you’ll no longer be able to see the bigger picture of what is really going on. You’ll eventually end up adopting one of their sides (left/right, but the same side really) and when you take one of those pre-determined sides you’re already lost. They have you in the tractor beam, and there’s no turning back.

This brings me to the latest ‘news’ propaganda piece of the day, the puff piece of public relation’s nonsense that was President Obama working out at the gym. This ‘secretly shot’ footage was obviously authorised and leaked with official blessing. You think not? If you could shoot video footage of the president of the US working out, you could shoot him with something more dangerous than a video camera as well, couldn’t you? So let’s be clear about this footage. It was ‘leaked’ for a purpose, and what would that purpose be?

It’s not too difficult to speculate about really is it? I know, let’s show a man who has recently developed a reputation as somewhat of a lightweight, an easily cowered liberal drip (see how this fits on my blog?) and show him lifting weights in a manly way. That will change his public image, won’t it?

Sadly (for him personally anyway) no it won’t. Look at all of the comments under the article I’ve linked to. You have to remember that everybody on the Internet is a 300lb bench-pressing beast of manliness, muscle and testosterone. Well, that’s what they tell you anyway. So to see the president lifting what amounts to ‘weights for girls’ all this footage does is further his image of being an emasculated weakling.

And that’s all I want to say about this latest PR stunt really. It failed because it wasn’t thought out well enough. If he was lifting something impressive then it would have worked, but seeing him doing aerobic exercises for the elderly and enfeebled is not really going to impress all of the anonymous gym warriors on the net. So, nice try mainstream media, but if you’re going to convince the sleeping masses that Barry the corporate yes man is anything other than a feminised liberal drip you’re going to have to come up with something a bit better next time.
