Count De Monet: "Sir, the peasants are revolting!" King Louis: "You said it. They stink on ice!" |
"...The UK (Starmer), France (Macron) and EU Commission (von der Leyden) are focused on ways to continue warfighting operations in Ukraine. Any cessation of hostilities runs counter to their collective financial and geopolitical interests.
The European NATO coalition continues to demand blood to oil the machinery of war and opposing any peace efforts by U.S. President Donald Trump is now paramount. Unfortunately for Starmer and Macron, Ursula von der Leyden cannot guarantee or secure the long-term financing they need to replace funds from the USA stopped by President Trump.
If the pattern holds, there is likely to be a U.K/France supported Ukrainian drone or missile attack into Russia on Tuesday morning GMT. The U.S delegation of Secretary Marco Rubio, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and President Trump’s emissary Steve Witkoff will all be in attendance.
There is some indication President Trump has moved beyond the ‘minerals deal’ distraction talking point and remains entirely focused on getting Ukraine and the EU to commit to peace. However, Ukraine needs to push the minerals deal as part of their “security guarantee” proposal that is intended to put U.S. troops in their fight.
The people who truly want peace are not afraid of concessions to guarantee it. The people who want war reject concessions and want the security guarantees, so they have a tool to deconstruct peace.
Remarkably, Secretary of State Marco Rubio continues to shine in his role as chief diplomat for President Trump." .......

First Actor to Lampoon Hitler? + Pordenone Chaplin – Alt Film Guide:
The first Hollywood actor to lampoon Hitler?
"A few years ago, in the San Diego Jewish Journal Lynn Rapaport discussed the first Hollywood comedian to play Adolf Hitler on film. No, not Charles Chaplin. Try The Three Stooges’ Moe Howard.
Now, it’s worth pointing out that Hollywood has always relied on foreign revenues to sustain its filmmaking factories. Even so, before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, several Hollywood movies did tackle the Nazi menace. Those included Warner Bros.’ Confessions of a Nazi Spy (1939), directed by Anatole Litvak, and starring Edward G. Robinson and Francis Lederer; MGM’s The Mortal Storm (1940), directed by Frank Borzage, and starring Margaret Sullavan, James Stewart, and Robert Young; Paramount’s Arise My Love (1940), directed by Mitchell Leisen, and starring Claudette Colbert and Ray Milland; and 20th Century Fox’s The Man I Married (1940), directed by Irving Pichel, and starring Joan Bennett and Francis Lederer.
Also, the United Artists-distributed Foreign Correspondent (1940), directed by Alfred Hitchcock, and starring Joel McCrea, Laraine Day, and Herbert Marshall; So Ends Our Night (1941), directed by John Cromwell, and starring Fredric March, Margaret Sullavan, and Frances Dee; In addition, of course, to Chaplin’s The Great Dictator (1940), featuring Paulette Goddard and Jack Oakie as a Benito Mussolini parody.
You Nazty Spy: ‘Grim’ situation in Europe made ‘funny’
Below are a couple of quotes from Rapaport’s article:
“In mid-1939, Jules White, head of Columbia Pictures Shorts Department and long-time producer and director of the Three Stooges comedies, walked into his brother Sam’s office and said that he was planning a comedy about Hitler. Moe would be Hitler, Curly would be Göring, and Larry would be Goebbels. Sam told his brother that the situation in Europe was grim, and asked if he could make it funny. ‘I’ll make it funny,’ Jules replied.
“Filming began on Dec. 5, 1939. It was shot quickly, in seven days. Cutting was finished on Dec. 26, 1939, and on January 19, 1940 Columbia pictures released its 44th Three Stooges comedy, You Nazty Spy. The film cost about $18,500 to make, and preceded the release of Charlie Chaplin’s The Great Dictator by nine months. Moe Howard of the Three Stooges was the first American actor to lampoon Hitler in film. It was also his favorite Three Stooges short.”

Their Cut-Rate Churchill is really a Half-Price Hitler.
And will be seen as such by History, for I intend to write it.
Ukraine isn’t fighting to win. Or even to salvage something. It’s fighting to keep Zelensky’s payoffs coming.
Macron’s panicked yet hollow threat to use nukes only shows how desperate he and his Cosplay Continentals are to keep the Money Laundering, Child Trafficking and Biden Bio-Labs alive. The People, not so much.
Far from heroic, it’s an Admission of Guilt.
All those leaders are clinging to power by a thread and find Death and War helpful to their own sorry asses.
Once you get on the Crooked Ukraine Merry-go-Round at their Criminal Disneyland That Never Closes, there is no good way to exit to the next ride; It’s a Small World Government After All.
The People of Ukraine repeatedly voted for peace.
So we overthrew their president, subverted another one, and then cancelled elections so they could never vote their way out of our Endless War again.
And called it “Standing With Ukraine!”
Psalm 34
11
Come, my children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12
Whoever of you loves life
and desires to see many good days,
13
keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from telling lies.
14
Turn from evil and do good;
seek peace and pursue it.
15
The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are attentive to their cry;
16
but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
to blot out their name from the earth.
We esteem the Word of the Lord!

Hitler goes to see a fortune teller. "When will I die?" "You will die on a Jewish Holiday." "But which one?" "Any day you die on will be a Jewish Holiday." |
