Merlin the Magician Saves Greenland! (1941)

“Off the barren coast of Greenland a sinister black submarine quietly emerges from beneath the sea!”

It is October 1941. A Nazi submarine arrives to loot the food stores on Greenland. Merlin the Magician must save the day!

Merlin invokes the magic spell, “Ralop Raeb Esahc Yawa Eht Sizan!”

When it seems the Germans are getting away in their submarine, he invokes another magic spell, “Rehtafdnarg Fo Lla Sessurlaw Knis Taht Enirambus!”, to call for the help of a local walrus.

The walrus stops the submarine and the U.S. Navy arrives!

All is well in Greenland!

So if you hear the President of the United States saying something that sounds like “Ralop Raeb Esahc Yawa Eht Sizan!” or “Rehtafdnarg Fo Lla Sessurlaw Knis Taht Enirambus!”, you’ll know what it’s about.

Do not forget Ukraine, Gaza, and, oh yeah, Epstein-Trump

America and the world are paying a high price for attempted distraction from three outsized issues: the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Israeli decimation of Gaza, and the relationship of Trump to sexual predators Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

It may be hard to tell whether Venezuela, Greenland, Iran, Minneapolis, etc. are primary evils, with distraction just a bonus, or whether those unprecedented global and national disasters are intended to distract attention.

In some ways it doesn’t matter. Venezuela, Greenland, Iran, Minneapolis, etc. are just going to be made worse and will not go away.

We need to make sure that we do not forget Ukraine, Gaza and Epstein-Trump, which should not and with our attention will not go away.

Team America: World Police

America! Fuck yeah!

I am ashamed to learn that I have never posted about the movie Team America: World Police (2004), from Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of South Park. I apologize.

If you like or love South Park, if you don’t like or love South Park, if you never see an episode or another episode of South Park, find this movie and watch it. Timely in 2004 and at many moments since, it is even more timely today.

Absurdly funny, indiscriminately cruel, and mercilessly true. Nothing is to everyone’s tastes. But if you see reviews or comments questioning the qualities of this movie, ignore them until you’ve seen it for yourself. Because under the current circumstances, or under the circumstances of 2004, or before that or after now, this is the ultimate puppet analysis of modern American geopolitics.

Once you see it, you’ll never forget it. As we occupy Venezuela, or Iran, or…Greenland?

It is not currently streaming for free. Pay for it if you have to. Meanwhile, following are a trailer and some clips to entertain and inform you.

America! Fuck yeah!
