Today’s news behind the news, with occasional commentary from our in-house writers, ‘BrandX’ and ‘SkeptiX’ – Updated throughout the day.

Exposing the latest woke supremacy, Big Brother and other culture war related items:




COMMENTARY ON THE BELOW ARTICLE: There is a lot of ‘entertainment’ based news today. Apologies for this but the propaganda is really ramping up it seems – BrandX. 












COMMENTARY ON THE BELOW ARTICLE: Not good. If this doesn’t end soon, it won’t end well at all. For anyone – BrandX. 



COMMENTARY ON THE BELOW ARTICLE: Glad we saw Tump out… this is much better – BrandX. 





COMMENTARY ON THE BELOW ARTICLE: This is a tried and tested recipe for franchise failure. Here are some quotes from Marvel writer Gerry Duggan:

“The folks collaborating on X comics are cooking up the biggest stories in comics right now….

The goal is to have fun, thrill our artists and editors, and give readers what they didn’t know they needed…

The goal is to make the artist happy. Everyone else is along for the ride,”

Fans of existing IP’s don’t want this nonsense. Regardless of whether you think they ‘need’ it or not. This concept of giving people what you feel they ‘need’ rather than what they want, is known as ‘Bolshevik marketing’. People are waking up to it. Which is why Rose Tico (The Last Jedi) action figures were piling up as unsold in the toy shops over Christmas 2017 vs. the Gina Carano (Mandalorian) action figures which are currently selling for silly money on eBay right now – BrandX.


COMMENTARY ON THE BELOW ARTICLE: Good to see ‘A Quiet Place: Part 2’ listed on here. This is one I have been looking forward to. I wouldn’t label myself as a ‘Conservative’ as such, nor would I say that the first one from 2018 was a ‘Conservative movie’. But the article here does put it into an interesting context that is fair, whilst linking it to these kind of values (e.g. having a strong father figure… how dare they!) – BrandX.
