AND WE DON’T DO WHAT THEY TELL YOU.
Confused? You should be. Because this is the what the stream of “news” coming out of the Middle East is, confusing. Yesterday the world was told that 10 Israeli hostages would be released, then that none would because the deal with Hamas wasn’t agreed on, and this morning it appears that 25 have been released by Hamas along with 39 young “Palestinians” by Israel imprisoned for violent acts.
This is a good thing for those being held by a pack of insane Muslim terrorists, but isn’t why I’m writing this, which is, most “news” is like a magician’s stage act, it’s all smoke and mirrors. When I posted “What The Hell Did We Do“, it was after checking a variety of sources for confirmation of the facts, and not being able to find any. All I could offer was a general view.
I learned a very long time ago that we should never believe what we read. When I report on something going on in the world, it’s after trying hard to determine what the truth is, or at least what looks closest to it. But it’s just like this prisoner exchange stuff in Israel, you can never be sure that what you’re reading is true, and what they’re telling us now may actually be nothing but lies.
This is why Knowing always beats the hell out of Believing. I have hands at the ends of my arms, I Know this, I don’t believe it. Everything else is bullshit unless I personally experience it. That doesn’t mean that they aren’t fighting in Ukraine for real, for instance, but I reserve a doubt. I don’t KNOW that they are because I’m not there. Just saying, we have to take an awful lot of things on faith, but as our Main Stream Media has so thoroughly proven to us, we need to be careful about what information we choose to act on.
Sir, please, tell us your thoughts about these two GREATEST stunning EPIC biographic MOVIES in 2023:
OPPENHEIMER — by Christopher Nolan
NAPOLEON — by Ridley Scott
Cinema Class – History – Ideologies – Philosophy – Sociology – Politics
I did see both movies. “Napoleon” was a truly epic film, it was stunning in scope, imagery and historic detail. General Bonaparte, on the other hand, was a walking disaster whose power grew beyond his mental capacity to control it. At least, that’s how the film presented him.
About “Oppenheimer”, I honestly don’t recall much, other than the basic story line of beating the Germans to the bomb, the development of it, the secrecy and so forth. It was educational but I don’t recall it as being epic.
Being retired and having access to the Internet, Amazon Prime, Roku, Hulu and so on, I watch a lot of movies, there’s always one on after dinner. So not all are stand-outs the way Napoleon is.
