MILWAUKEE RIOTS: TURNS OUT THE COP WHO SHOT THE BLACK CAREER CRIMINAL WAS ALSO BLACK

democratic party donkey

“We’re the party of slavery, the Ku Klux Klan and Jim Crow. Why would we stop promoting race hatred now?”

As if any further proof was needed that the people who work in the American media are down on the same level with child rapists there’s this development from Milwaukee, site of the Democrats’ latest race hatred drama.

IT TURNS OUT THE COP WHO SHOT THE ARMED BLACK CAREER CRIMINAL WAS ALSO BLACK. A reasonable person might ask how this was a “racist” incident and why Milwaukee burned from rioting Hillary supporters two nights in a row. The answer would be “Because the Democrats thrive on race hatred. It prevents the white and black working class that the Democrats have betrayed from uniting against them.”

BLM IS ALSO PROTESTING AT ELVIS’ GRACELAND ESTATE. (Yes, I’m serious.) NEWS QUIZ: WHAT DOES BLM STAND FOR? Continue reading

SON OF THE BLACK MASS: FULL CIRCLE KILLING (1964)

Full Moon Killing aBalladeer’s Blog continues its examination of the Son of the Black Mass series of Samurai films. This is the sixth film overall but just the third starring legendary Raizo Ichikawa. The films were based on Renzaburo Shibata’s novels about Nemuri Kyoshiro, a red-haired fallen Samurai whose odd hair coloring was the result of his mixed birth. A Portuguese Christian missionary dabbling in Satanism raped Nemuri’s mother during a Black Mass, hence his red hair, outcast status and supernatural abilities.

FULL CIRCLE KILLING (1964) – Beginning with the next film the Nemuri Kyoshiro series really hits the dark, offbeat and transgressive stride that it is most remembered for. Think of Full Circle Killing as a stylistic stepping stone, since it has a cynical Samurai Noir feel to it plus heavier blood & gore as well as further clues about the supernatural nature of our hero’s Full Moon Death Strike. We also get our first hint in the movies that Nemuri can sense the whispers of the dead whenever he passes by cemeteries, a concept more fully developed in the novels (which I will review separately).   Continue reading

HEADS THE DEMOCRAT WINS, TAILS THE REPUBLICAN LOSES

Trump and Romney

The American media will depict the Republican candidate as Hitler whether he is a gutless punching bag (right) or someone who fights back (left)

Regular readers of Balladeer’s Blog know that for years I’ve been rooting for both of America’s white collar crime gangs (called Democrats and Republicans) to splinter apart. Neither political party has cared about the working poor in decades but the Republicans (always the morons of the two gangs) made the fatal error of not keeping up with the Democrats in the media arms race.  

To clarify for overseas readers that means the criminals of DemCorp have run rings around the criminals of RepubCorp in terms of P.R. for several years now. That’s why no matter WHO the Republican gang nominates for president they are subjected to a daily inquisition while the DemCorp media pampers their own candidates with softball questions. BOTH candidates should get grilled every day. 

The bloated rich pigs who run RepubCorp are hilariously inept and clueless, which was always a lot of fun in presidential races back when the Democrats DID look out for America’s working poor and for constitutional protections. Money follows power, however, and the bloated rich pigs began hedging their bets by purchasing all of the Democrats, too, since presidential races have become an exercise in blatant media favoritism to DemCorp candidates. 

Mascot with demo and repub heads

*** *** *** *** *** *** The symbol of the nonexistent Balladeer Political Party

Establishment Republicans are STILL stupid enough to think there is a way that their presidential candidates can conduct themselves that will win praise from the media. Their massive stupidity on this and other matters helped fuel the chaos of this election year. 

Mitt Romney – since he’s not running this time – gets depicted by the media as a kind of elder statesman even though he LOST in 2012. But four years ago HE was the one being depicted as a daily gaffe machine and a horribly sexist monster (remember “binders full of women”).

Hell, at the Olympics in 2012 every single remark the visiting Romney made was distorted by the media who insisted the man was “insulting our British allies” and was “proving he wasn’t fit for the presidency” because of comments the media treated like the end of the world though virtually nobody today could even remember any of those supposedly “monumental”gaffes. 

Hitler

*** *** *** Typical NYT headline: Hitler Drank Water – Trump Drinks Water. Any Questions?

So, when the RepubCorp candidate is a human punching bag like Mitt Romney who was always careful to politely thank the media for castrating him and force-feeding him his own balls on a daily basis that candidate STILL gets depicted as the new Hitler.

This time around the RepubCorp candidate apparently owns a television set because he has noticed how blatantly biased the American media is and refuses to lie back and take it. And, yes, HE gets depicted as the new Hitler, too. Even by the failed fools who run RepubCorp, who obediently tsk tsk over Trump’s justifiably cavalier attitude toward the loaded, prejudiced questions he gets bombarded with.  

Cruz and Paul Ryan

Ted Cruz and Paul Ryan are hoping Trump loses so that one of THEM can be called Hitler in 2020.

At any rate, the RepubCorp presidential candidate is ALWAYS going to be depicted as Hitler whether or not he’s a subdued, defeated wimp OR if he’s willing to fight back against the shallow, clueless media who are basically DemCorp campaign staff. For most people the choice would be clear: if your candidate will be crushed and harassed daily no matter how docile and masochistically submissive he is toward the biased media, then it’s better to have a candidate who calls out that biased media.

GNA: NORSE GODDESS

GnaGNA – This neglected Norse goddess was one of the Asynjur (female Aesir) and served as the messenger of the female nature deity Frigga. Gna was as swift as Hermes from Greek myths and rode a horse named Hofvarpnir, a steed capable of galloping across the sky and the seas in addition to land. Gna wielded a spear and could travel as quickly as the breeze when she was astride Hofvarpnir.

During the 8th Century war between the Langobards and the Vandals the goddess Frigga put Gna to a lot of work. Frigga and her husband Odin were quarreling, so since he supported the Vandals in the conflict Frigga made a point of supporting the other side. She would frequently send Gna to the Langobards with information on Odin’s plans to help the Vandals.  Continue reading

MUSLIM ATROCITY UPDATE

Islamophobia posterThe Muslim World perpetuates its  CENTURIES of violence against non-Muslims but the Left-Wing Archie Bunkers who pretend to be “educators” in the Western World try their best to obscure that fact. They also try to whitewash Islam’s history of slavery as well, plus its misogyny, homophobia and oppression of religious minorities.

August 8th: Quetta, Pakistan – At least one suicide bomber from Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, one of the franchises in the Global Muslim Fascist Murder Machine, killed 74 innocent people and injured over ONE HUNDRED TWENTY more at a HOSPITAL. Obama probably blamed America’s “toxic masculinity.”

August 2nd: Benghazi, Libya – The site that brought on Hillary Clinton’s most callous lies ever, saw a Muslim fascist suicide bomber kill 23 innocent people and injure over 20 more.   

Also August 2nd: Kodomun, Nigeria – The local franchise in the Global Muslim Murder Machine killed 15 innocent people and injured over 20 more. Obama presumably blamed the NRA. 

Obama Islam

… And he certainly has, hasn’t he?

Also August 2nd: Godogo, Nigeria – Muslim fascists killed 11 innocent people and injured nearly 20 more. Hillary blamed white privilege I’m guessing. 

August 3rd: Benghazi, Libya – Agents of the Islamic State (Obamastan), which was spawned by Obama’s premature withdrawal from Iraq, used a suicide bomber to kill 15 innocent people and injure 16 more. Continue reading

SON OF THE BLACK MASS: SWORD OF ADVENTURE (1964)

Sword of Adventure 2Balladeer’s Blog resumes its examination of the Son of the Black Mass  Samurai films from Japan. In the previous installment I reviewed the first of the films to star Raizo Ichikawa, the man who made the character his own even though there were three films made with the figure before Ichikawa and two after his death in 1969.

The title character was Kyoshiro Nemuri – a red-haired Samurai, the offspring of a Japanese woman and the insane Portugese Christian Missionary who raped her. That madman was dabbling in Satanism and so Nemuri was conceived during a Black Mass, hence the title of the novels and the subsequent film series. Continue reading
