AL SHARPTON IS OUTRAGED THAT NONE OF THE BEATLES WERE BLACK

“Only white racists think that other black people are as stupid and hate-filled as I am!”

Hatemonger Al “Tawana Brawley Scandal” Sharpton, the Grand Wizard of Black Bigotry, took time out from failing to properly read the teleprompter on his own show to blither  about a manufactured grievance.

Sharpton is the leading exponent of the movement Black Lies Matter, which encourages lying like in the aforementioned Tawana Brawley Scandal and the discredited “Hands up, don’t shoot” nonsense. Al realized long ago that the media will never give air time to rational, non-criminal African-Americans and has monopolized the airwaves pretending to speak for all black people. Continue reading →

BAYBAYAN: PHILIPPINE EPIC MYTH PART FIVE

Balladeer’s Blog continues its examination of this epic myth of the Bukidnon people of the Philippines.

PART FIVE

Philippines Baybayan 2The massive craft called the Salimbal at last arrived and landed on the mountaintop where Baybayan and his hundreds of surviving followers had gathered. The bells which had signaled its approach were saliyao bells, the same bells worn by Philippine dancers on their ankles and neck. 

Music from the Salimbal filled the air and sprites from the Skyland home of the gods hovered around the ship sent down by the supreme deity Magbabaya. The craft shone even more brightly than the sun itself and could be seen for miles around.

One by one Baybayan invited his disciples to approach the entranceway to the divine craft. Two kampilan swords hung above that doorway and as each of the pilgrims sought entrance to the Salimbal the swords remained motionless for the truly pure of spirit. When any disciples who were judged unfit to reach Skyland tried to enter the craft the kampilans would turn on their hilts like on hinges and slice that would-be passenger in two.   Continue reading →

AMERICAN KAIJU: THE AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN VS THE GIANT CLAW

In this corner ... the 6o ft tall Glenn Manning aka The Amazing Colossal Man!

In this corner … the 6o ft tall Glenn Manning aka The Amazing Colossal Man!

Glitternight Productions strikes again with a very entertaining new cable television series! Cult film and television director Eddie Wozniak has put together a show called American Kaiju. The brilliant premise of the show: Wozniak will be pitting “big” creatures from 1950s American schlock films against each other in the style of 1960s and 1970s Japanese Kaiju movies.

Instead of battles like Godzilla vs Mothra or Gamera vs Barugon, American Kaiju will feature 66 minute episodes like tonight’s The Amazing Colossal Man vs the Giant Claw. The premise the show proceeds from is that Glenn Manning, the 60 feet tall Colossal Man in question, neither died nor became the deformed monster from Attack of the Colossal Beast.

And in this corner the 30 story tall buzzard from outer space aka The Giant Claw!

And in this corner … the 30 story tall buzzard from outer space aka The Giant Claw!

Instead Manning was kept alive and well in Area 51 as a specialized operative against the proliferation of gigantic bugs and monsters from outer space that plagued the U.S. in the 1950s. American Kaiju has a lot of fun with how odd the mindset and attitudes of that era seem compared with today without getting overly political.

It’s all good fun as the Colossal Man will battle another brobdignagian beast every week, just like Ultra Man from Japanese television. The special effects are marvelous for the destruction of U.S. cities like Las Vegas, New York, Chicago, San Francisco and others. Continue reading →

EVEN OBAMA’S STAFF MEMBERS SHOOT AT COPS! BARVETTA SINGLETARY RESIGNS

“I want DEAD COPS! Dead cops as far as the eye can see!”

Hey, not only does America’s Racist-in- Chief Barack Obama thrive on stirring up rednecks of color into shooting at cops on a regular basis, even his own WHITE HOUSE STAFF MEMBERS have taken to shooting at police.For once in their lives Obama and his staff members are leading by example!

That’s the case with Special Presidential Aide Barvetta Singletary (Obama will probably say “If I had a big sister she would look like Barvetta,” just like he always says male thugs and cop killers would look like his son if he had one). Singletary has resigned after being charged with assault for seizing a Capitol Police Officer’s gun and shooting at him with it.

Barvetta Singletary: If Obama had a big sister ...

Barvetta Singletary: If Obama had a big sister …

YES, THIS REALLY HAPPENED! Little Barry has pushed the racist notion that any time a cop approaches a bigoted black person that bigoted black person is justified in opening fire on them. This is why we’ve had this nationwide rash of black bigots shooting cops. The Obama legacy, ladies and gentlemen!

Okay, brainless and unquestioning Obama supporters! Time to try your usual lame excuses for this most inept and corrupt president in U.S. history! You repulsive little hypocrites would be talking about nothing BUT this incident forever if it happened under another president. Continue reading →

ARMATA (1817): “ANCIENT” SCIENCE FICTION

Picture courtesy of wikipedia

Picture courtesy of wikipedia

ARMATA (1817) – Written by Thomas Erskine, this work of very early science fiction is one of the great neglected works of that genre.

Erskine tells the story in the first person and in the style of the memoirs of great explorers. He is sailing from New York City back to England when an enormous waterspout sucks his ship up in the air and deposits it on the planet of Deucalia.

Deucalia is a twin of the planet Earth and is, oddly enough, connected to our own planet at the Continue reading →

MUSLIM VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH: DAY TWO

THIS HAUNTING IMAGE STRIKES RIGHT TO THE CORE OF THE HATRED THAT IS ISLAM.

THIS HAUNTING IMAGE STRIKES RIGHT TO THE CORE OF THE HATRED THAT IS ISLAM.

September is Muslim Violence Awareness Month. Thirty days of examining the violence of that pack of savage superstitions called Islam.

We’re only on Day Two but let’s look at where we stand so far:

*** More than 60 innocent non-Muslims were killed in the city of Baanu by the Muslims of Boko Haram, the Nigerian franchise in the global Islamofascism hate group.

*** Muslims in Germany RIOTED over one lone man flushing a few pages of the ridiculous Koran down the toilet. As regular readers know I’m a non-believer and I’m fine with ANY religion’s delusion-inspiring “Holy” book getting flushed down the toilet but let’s face it – ONLY Muslims riot over such things here in the 21st Century.  Continue reading →

BAYBAYAN: PHILIPPINE EPIC MYTH PART FOUR

Balladeer’s Blog continues its examination of this epic myth of the Bukidnon people of the Philippines.

PART FOUR

Philippine IslandsThe demigod Baybayan led his hundreds of followers up the mountain atop which would land the Salimbal – the divine craft sent down from Skyland by the supreme deity Magbabaya. The Earthly realm, in its fundamental evil, made a concentrated effort to lure Baybayan’s followers away from their quest. The impure world sought to prevent as many of the demigod’s followers as possible from reaching the land of the gods.

First all the rocks then the very ground itself turned to gold, to tempt the followers into staying behind to collect the gold and live the comfortable and pleasant life of the wealthy. Some of Baybayan’s disciples yielded to this temptation and stayed behind to accumulate wealth. Vile nature intensified its attack as even the leaves on the trees and the grass turned to gold in order to tempt away a few more of the disciples. Continue reading →

ANT-MAN: THE EARLY ADVENTURES PART TWO

By request from a Balladeer’s Blog reader here is my look at the early adventures of this superhero.

Tales to Astonish 407 TALES TO ASTONISH # 40 (February 1963)

Title: The Day The Ant-Man Failed

Villain: The Hijacker, a costumed supervillain who wielded a gun that both knocked out its victims and made them lose their short-term memory. That gas was derived from an ancient Inca formula. In later years the Hijacker fought Black Goliath and the Thing.

Synopsis: The Hijacker is robbing armored cars all over New York City by knocking out the drivers and leaving them with no memory of their attacker. With the help of Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four Ant-Man devises a gas mask made of unstable molecules.

The gas mask is to protect our hero from the Hijacker’s gas and the unstable molecular makeup of the mask will allow it to shrink and grow along with the rest of Ant-Man’s costume and equipment. Continue reading →
