"Spin The Wheel Of Propaganda News" - Postcard

My piece is a "cartoon" in the same vein as Charlie Hebdo cartoons. (Their "cartoon" offended me, but apparently some thought it was "funny" so, I too, can make cartoons that others might find offensive.) My piece and words are also free speech that is protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. (Well, it used to be, prior to the ascension of the US Government Ministry of Truth dictating to Social Media Platforms which of their users need to be banned for "misinformation" as defined by the Government.)

Maybe Tom the bully will leave me another comment, telling me to shut up, because I'm not allowed to say anything unless he (and other "Free Speech is fine as long as it agrees with mine" bullies) approves of it.

Spin The Wheel Of Propaganda News

When Obama was President of the United States, that is when I first noticed that News reporting was like a spinning wheel of topics. When the wheel stopped spinning, whatever topic was pointed to became what every Five Eyes News channel / website discussed.

Each "spin the wheel" topic was covered for one day or longer, then the wheel was spun again, and a new topic replaced it. Because the News can only report on one topic at a time.

Maybe the News was always that way, and I didn’t notice it.

During the Obama years, sometimes the Kardashian melodrama became "front page" News, when it should have been in the Entertainment section. Now, during Trump President Term 2, the Kardashians have been replaced with the Beckham melodrama, which serves the same purpose.

Recently, the News topic was Iran, then that got replaced with Greenland. This week was a "bye week" because of the annual, week long WEF (World Economic Forum) Davos meeting. (Search Assistant: "A bye week in football refers to a scheduled break during the regular season when a team does not play any games. This allows players to rest, recover from injuries, and prepare for upcoming matches.")

Maybe this weekend, while a large swath of the United States is reeling under a major Winter snow storm, Trump will bomb Iran, spinning them back into the News topic du jour.

Growing up, one of my favorite movies was the 1932 movie Island of Lost Souls. The horror scenes were mostly unseen off screen, allowing my own imagination to complete the scenes. Whenever the "Sayer of the Law" scenes happened, my brothers would chant the replies along with the characters in the movie.

This week's My Soul's Dark Imagination theme was "Blood Moon".

I've had artist's block, so I haven't been able to create anything for these challenges until recently. Then I was too late for the Little Red Riding Hood challenge, when I finally was able to make something for it. But I reused the moon and wolf for this piece.

Note: I've been getting errors trying to leave comments on blogs, but I don't know why. Deann left me a comment, saying I'm being marked as spam.

The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle

I see a red door and I want it painted black.
No colours anymore, I want them to turn black.
It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black.
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky.

What follows below is Free Speech satire / parody / mockery / sarcasm / what have you:

Just like last Friday, once again, Bloomberg News has foretold when Russia will invade Ukraine. This time they say it will be on Tuesday, February 15, 2022. Beware the Ides of February, no? Oh, wait, Ides would make it Super Bowl Sunday. However, I heard from my unnamed double agent source, who works in the Kremlin, that Russia will invade Ukraine on March 1. He also told me that later today, when Biden and Putin speak on the phone, this will be their conversation:

Putin: I know what you did in 2014.

Biden: I know what you did then, too.

[...silence for awhile...]

Putin: Enjoy the profits you're making on the skyrocketing oil prices.

Biden: You too. To the moon!

False Flag Alert 2022/02/04

This is a Warning from the False Flag Alert Early Warning System (FFAEWS): The FFAEWS puts the next week at a 5% chance of a False Flag Event (FFE) occurring in or near the Russia / Ukraine border. Watch for "fake dead bodies" and "crisis actors".

As with all potential FFEs, be aware of your surroundings at all times, and be mindful of agent provocateurs, undercover Government agents (i.e. "Evil" Russians) creating entrapment cases, etc., in crowd situations.

As some would say, what a time to be alive!

And if, as others say, life imitates art, at what point will someone say a country, that shall remain nameless, has jumped the shark?

It's all fun and games until...
