Brüno – the stealth subversion

Finally I saw Brüno – the movie. Besides everything else the movie proves that Sasha Cohen got the right formula to stir strong public opinions.

Everything shown as an authentic or at least as an anecdotal fact in the movie exist in real life but it is under the surface. Cohen only makes it obvious and shouts it out in our face. He is not the devil , but the messenger. He exploits all legitimate roots, but it seems he barely avoids to be put to the sword.

Sadly the movie belongs to the forces demoralizing this country. One only can hope the people seeing it, trying to withhold its subversion message.

Beware of Lonely Assassins

The inspiration for this post came after the increased chatter about the possibility of extremist right-wing assassination against the Bamster. And I came with the history of the lonely assassin Giuseppe Zangara, who was trying to gun down the first Messiah (savior) this nation knew – FDR (bellow is his mug shot c.1933). The image was fetched from the Florida Department of Corrections web site after searching for Zangara via Google.

I really hope this never to happen and even not to be attempted. The Bamster tries to build monument of himself with the Socialized Healthcare Reform and if God forbid something happen to him then a real monument of him can be erected.

His socialist ideas have to be rejected with the ballot and not with the bullet and he personally has to be forgotten as soon as he leaves Pennsylvania Avenue for Chicago.

Outsourcing the Unwanted

This post was inspired by mayor Bloomberg’s decision to pay one-way ticket to all homeless family who are willing to leave NYC for good. In attempt to illustrate this post with some visuals (painting, photo, caricature, etc.)

I searched Google with the key-word “one-way ticket” and I found interesting pictures, which reminded me about similar treatment from the past. 


The first example is the American Colonization Society (ACS), which after establishing Liberia in 1821 had given one-way tickets to all African American willing to leave the USA.

The two most recent programs one can refer to, are from West Germany in early 80s and Sarkozy initiative in France from 2007. These programs target people, who are not willing to assimilate into the host culture i.e. people from Muslim countries. Here are two caricatures from my search, one of them is slightly edited for clarity.

The similarity between all the programs mentioned above is that they failed to produce the desired effect.


Like a contrast one can point to the exodus of Muslim from Bulgaria during the last Zhivkov’s regime in mid 80s. By witness accounts close to half million left for good, virtually all of the not assimilable. Needless to say that no money were offered to the fleeting families and that plenty of Gypsies left.


The bottom line is that immigration is a tricky business and there is always the need for culture warriors. One can only hope for the best.

Artwork and the half-truth

Two days ago when I saw for the first time the poster portraying the Bamster as the Joker my first thought was “Wow, Simply Brilliant!”. Until now I still hold that initial reaction.

And the reason is that if one intends something to be funny or sarcastic, then this something has to hold some truth into itself. This poster hits the target. It is full of truth - simply brilliant.

On the other hand half-truth is intended for propaganda purposes. There is nothing funny about it.

My opinion is that, all efforts that go into the half-truth, generated by TOTUS (cf. baracksteleprompter), make the Bamster to be very serious and cold.

But like in the ancient saying that puts it like, “the one who laughs the last, has the best laugh”, we shall see…

The only regret I have is that I didn’t come with this poster myself. I guess I have to think faster.
