I am Concerned

                 I am concerned about how many things today. The comic book industry,the environment, the Ukrainean Situation hey many things.  I think though one huge situation President Biden hugly mishandles is U.S. Relations with China. Both Trump and Biden are openly stupid about China.  Although Trump was openly oppositional and publicly like Biden supported Taiwan foolishly privatly he dealt with China and President Xi well. Business relations soared and in a typical Republican Nationalist outlook he China-bashed and was populist while maintaining solid relations.  Trump was no Nixon with China but better than Citizen Biden.  Now Citizen Biden would trade more than 40 years of Peace with China for an Asian Cold War and let me tell you why.  He seems to be highly critical of China. Although I agree Hong Kong should perhaps have some indepedant status like Singapore and the Uigurs tend to be a new target replacing older ones like the Tibetans who now have conformed.  And some situations like those and Tibet and concerning the Uigurs are concerning I am not concerned over Chinease civil rights.  Taiwan or Chang Ki Shek's Elba is not worth it as a U.S. ally. Biden seems determined to defend Taiwan. Maybe a war or conflict over Taiwan would be usless. What would we gain. Nothing it is not Japan.It is not a home to culture or film hey that's Hong Kong. Or video games, manga,cars,or electronics. No cool foreighn cult sports teams no hot babes either.Hey I've dated Korean women maybe Japanease women not anyone from Taiwan. Taiwan is a little shitty Elba for Chang Ki Shek and hasn't had UN Status since the seventies.China is worth it as U.S. ally. So Biden Chinease food not war !!!

Superman and Moses

             Superman and Moses both heros both similar are  examples of the hero archtype tossed aside as children and adopted by others to achieve greatness.  Moses intended to free his people survived purges during his youth and was adopted by Pharoaph's daughter and grew up a prince.  He grew up with some involvement from his birthparents a Prince of Egypt.  After a youth as a Prince the young man was forced to rediscover his true people and make some harsh decisions.  He was forced to flee and fled to the Sinai were he married a Sheik's daughter. Superman or Kal-El survived his homeworld's destruction and was sent by his father Jor-El to Earth.  Superman was taken in by the Kents,a family of Kansas farmersAs a youth his considerable strenght and power is noticed.He can fly and do wonders like Moses he is a mircacle man. . As Clark Kent,Kal-El after College gets a job at the Daily Planet.  He then uses his strenghth to fight crime.Moses eventally after living with the Sheik's people find's the truth of his existance when G-d reveals his existance to Moses and tells him to free his people. Like Superman,Moses has powers to bring Egypt to it's knees and together with Aaron frees the Israelites. He takes them to the Promised Land and gives them the Law.  Both Superman and Moses are true heroes and men who chose to help others rather than themselves.

Bad Guys In Charge

                 In comics and sci-fi often a premise is dystopia. Big Brother in 1984 or Premier Mabus-Tel in my Zayin:Endless War.   Father in Equalibrium and the Architect in the Matrix.  Is the people who backed Trump in the popular media and the forces they play with like Kyle Rittenhouse and Quannon Shaman poised for another cue'deta like Jan.6.Who is their next leader. Is it Jared Kushner or a member of the Trump family.  A media member like Alex Jones perhaps or is a more mainstream force like Joe Scarbourough.And how powerful can right wing media members like Joe Scarbourough become before Congress and Pressident Biden are threatened. Perhaps the Democrats should watch out and monitor all these individuals and limit their speech and powers.Especially to the Rittenhouses their right to arms..

Facism in American Media

         American Media today is a troubled voice.  Trump challenged much during his Presidency in the case of American freedoms.  His coup attempt in January 6th challenged American freedom.  His policies  against Spanish and Muslims were racist and tyrannical. And the  Border Wall was an expensive stupid project he never completed.  Trump's twitter was the voice of this troubled man.  The MAGA followers of Trump followed for Trump's every word. Especially for announcements on January 6th.  So the coup mob could make the attempt.  Fox and other Republican oriented stations like OANN are Conservative oriented.  Republicans like Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarbourough on MSNBC have turned  through news games a clearly Democrat-oriented voice into a bad coppy mess ready for Facism Propoganda.  Some people will miss MSNBC but Chris Hayes as a Republican voice does not thrill me.Even though American is Trump free and having a Democrat congress and Democrat president perhaps the Republicans next plot is a society of half wits controlled by nice little thoughts

Those Who Defile

         Something came to me today.   On this Day of Atonement.  Those who violate the Day of Atonement  and cause misery for others  shall in turn be judged.  Those who violate the Day of Atonement and violate our way of life shall be judged as well. Those who break the peace and make war are evil.  And those who deny others happiness and love are judged harshly even more. The one who judges them are G-d who is above all else. Let he judge them.Let they be warned.

Afghan Goverment in Peril

                 With the Taliban advancing on the Afghan goverment in all directions the Goverment of Afghanistan could fall in a matter of days.  The U.S. embassy and forces look prepared to withdraw.  All 500 soldiers and the embassy personal including the U.S. ambassador could leave the country.  As the U.S. expedition in Afghanistan has been there since 2001 what have we done in Afghanistan?Are we fighting terror. The Taliban are terrorists but more resemble other things.  Running drugs and weapons they more resemble the Mexican  and South American Cartels.More like drug dealers although the Taliban goverment fell they remained the local underworld in Afghanistan.Who the shiek is in the Arab world sometimes matters. Allthough Bin-Laden and the Taliban after the 2001 Afghan War where forced to retreat to Pakistan what have we done in Afghanistan matters.Although we won and "civilized" Afghanistan giving the Central Asian country a taste of the greater world's pleasures unfortunatly it may not last.  What to come and will Afghanistan fall again.  It might not be 1973 Saigon as the U.S. withdraws. If the Taliban want to keep power maybe they will be forced to conceed a little. If not do we really abandon our ally in the region.

Atari VCS 800 Part 2

         I am still find myself enjoying not putting down my new Atari VCS 800 system.  The system a Ryzen powered downloadbox is discuised as an old Atari.  I started my own account and gave myself a few games from the store. And the Antstream account free for a year.  I found the games they gave me fun and simple. Tailgunner was fun and I had loads of pointless fun shooting down planes keeping my pilot's SBD Dauntless dive bomber safe.Also a second Atari Arcade was added to my original arcade of 30 games I got with the system.  Antstream was instresting I'm still figuring it out but hey free account I have to hand it to them.

Zionist Dream 2021

             Today in 2021 with the election of Naftali Bennett as Prime Minister. Israel is even more democratic and open than previously.  A state which at it's founding had few allies in the Middle East save then Iran and Morrocco is now friends and has alliances with most of the Middle East save it's former ally Iran.   Also it as the newest member of the African Union has most of Africa as it's ally. and trade partner. Perhaps a Asian and African outlook for Israel and in time more.  Also the goverment is more diverse.  More Palestinian lists in the goverment. And a centrist list for the most part although some rightys like Naftali Bennett the prime minister.  The new President Issac Hertzog is a noted actvist who previously did some things.  And the only sour note the Ben &Jerry incident.  Perhaps so far a good year.

Castles and Bridges

             Harsh ending of our summer.   The 2021 Tokyo Olympics debut with limited opening ceremonies and no fans.  I looked forward to Olympic Baseball and was shocked when I saw it was only on NBCSports All Access App. except for only two games.Except for CNBC which had two.  And also some but limited Basketball. Dumb and how sports fans lose.  Also really dumb team names.  Seattle Kraken the new NHL franchise looks really bad. Bad name,bad jersey,and a really bad hockey team no big names.  The Kraken are Ray Harenhousen bad.  A better would have been the Seattle Java because Seattle is a tech savy city.A sorta a silicon valley of Washington State.It also loves its coffe.A play on words would have been better.  The other bad name is Cleveland Guardians hey reminds me of Guardians of the Galaxy.  Wow Starlord and Groo are now Cleveland Indians.  Hey the Indians have only won three world series and the Guardians none.Hey its better than Jake Taylor and Wild Thing moving to Florida.  Might sell hats and be more PC.  Who cares about endearing logos.  Allthough I can see why Native Americans hate them.   Most like the Blackhawks who they feel get it right.  Also besides that my summer is fun and full of laughs.  Looking forward to my next beer.

Were To In 2021?

         I hope I get to publish my new book soon.  The project is annoyingly taking a little long to finish. Well I hope it satisfies my fans who read it.  It's a republishing of my 2011 sci-fi novel at a smaller company Zayin with a slightly different name and different intro and afterward.  I'm looking forward to reading the first editions when they come out.  Other than my book 2021 is more optimistic than the dark 2021 and sad.  I was saddened to hear this month my friend Christiane Amanpour has cancer.  I hope she gets better. My thoughts and prayers are with her.  It's sad to see her show end on CNN but hey PBS still airs it.  The Lightning beat the Canadiens in the Stanley Cup. Hey hockey is over. And a great Tennis year continues for Novak Djokavich.  He won both Rollin-Garros and Wimbledon Championships for Men's Tennis .A definite Tennis Hall of Famer. I hope clouds do not darken the optimism of 2021.

Strange Criminals

         Why do gay people go from underdogs to recognized and exceptional in our society.  The Times and how society has progressed and old feelings of homophobia is changing.  I  think old myths and thoughts are only abating due to the thought some people were tired of scapegoating gay people.  And with Anderson Cooper and Rachel Maddow as public visions instead of Chris Wheeler gay people and lesbians are now exceptional and not hateable freaks.

Israel's New President

             The new President of Israel, Issac Hertzog, has just been sworn in replacing the old one Reuban Rivlin.  Reuban Rivlin who has been president for several years has been a good ambassador of the state and good head of state.  He recently mediated the election debacle which gripped Israel for two and half years.  Issac Hertzog previously  Minister for Diaspora Affairs   and focused very much on American Jews  and bringing them to Israel.  He has much potential.Like previous presidents like Chaim Weitzman and Shimon Peres he should do well. Hail to the Chief Mr.Hertzog and hope you do well.

I Hate This !!!

         I hate third liners that try to be serious wingers.  I hate friends ( especially extended friends) who are fake and just push overs for cheap guisgards.  And people who just use phrases over and over again.   I hate cheap S.S. who hate comics and use other comics to bury my comics.  Especially my better titles !!! Faggots !!! Do not ever use my comic Maccabee Lady that way ever again certain people.  I hate there thought of statements against my new book.  Lumuckses I hate them !!! I am a little afraid.

How I Create A Character

     How I create a character outside of the original five characters from my extended Sci-Fi universe which were Maccabee Lady,Dreadnought,Nails,Akavesha,and Jihad is I just think of ideas. Ideas come to me like ahuh and then I think yeah and I flesh things out and put things together.  Then we design things like what the character looks like such as clothes or the costume if a superhero.  Not all are superheroes. Sometimes like in the Zayin Saga they are Science Fiction and have ordinary clothes, exotic garb ,or military.  An even bigger part is gender, religion,persuation,or sexual taste especially in todays world.  Drawing and designing things a big part of these things. Hey it's all important.

I24: A Debale Source

                     Three years ago I stumbled upon a new source.  A Israeli news channel I24 English an American primarily Israeli and Jewish source with the new channels like Yahoo and Chedder on my dial. It excited me!!! An Israeli Channel cool.  I knew of I24 Ivrit with Lucy Ahorash the famous Female Host and Lead Anchorwoman. and a Israeli Arab. And very progressive. So I was excited. I found a little about I24. It was owned by a Moroccan Jewish Buisnessman but like G4 had been had Australian and American investors so was not solely Israeli. A new corporation in Israel and globally it was sister corporations with my book company Outskirts Press.  My first friends were Caleb Ben-David and Michelle Makori. Caleb was a great guy at first.  Caleb was at first seemed great but in my first months watching was shocked how weird he was. His first sin was the slaying of Michelle Makori canned in I24 first year. And I lost interest for awhile.As Grand Off Taarkin killed the hot young Female Lead who loved me as an extended friend. He then created Natasha Kirchkire the sluttiest Zain Affadauli imitator ever.XXX dumb Jewish Devi who Kalis the weirdest way.And Benita Levine a nice Computer Woman ala Sally Field BBC but not as stable.

Wow his other personality was the Co-Host Jeff Smith was an even bigger piece of work. Although cool at first. I even at first liked him better.We got along well. But then my friend I was shocked became this Boney type prick even Jeff Smith would hate. Maybe Fantagraphics bad?I received for my Producer/Noble a reporter and some backing and stuff. And we even were friends for in total three whole years. Our relationship was rocky as friendly producer friend of channel but apparently Caleb is currently to challenged for his Mazar ball. Faggalla Caleb stop the lie.Let Natasha Kirchkire host and host a bad public access.

Atari VCS 800 is This Years Best Buy !!!

         A few weeks ago I was lucky to get in the mail a very large package.  It was an Atari VCS 800-the new Atari game system I had ordered in January.  It is one of newest and best systems on the market.  At $399 it is a better buy than the $900 X-Box Series X which is too expensive.  The system has no slot for disc or cartridge slot.  It is basically a download box to download and emulate games off of.  It actually is more like a iPhone.  It basically has to start 30-50 games including MissileCommand,Asteroids,Centipede, and Millipede.  You can play with both classic and X-Box-style controllers. The system only requires the Antstream service to download games usually for no more than $4.99.  Also since it has entertainment features like X-Box or Playstation it has Netflix and Youtube possibilities.  There are other possibilities.  Although I wouldn't lose my laptop I give the Atari VCS 800 two thumbs up.

Our Goal In The 21st and 22nd Centuries:Space

     It seems as the corperate and international goal of the 21st and possibly 22nd centuries is the colonization of space.   Space X and profiteers of space Elon Musk. and Jeff Bezios push the final fronteer closer with space tourism.  Improved Space Planes and rocket ships that land and return are the result of the hard work of these two.  Jeff Bezios is even going to space aboard his own rocket ship.  Plans exist to colonize the Moon and Mars somewhere in the next fifty years. And the U.S. and China to go to both the Moon and Mars. China too is in the race building its own space station to compete with the International Space Station sponsored by Nasa,European Space Agency,and Russia. China too is planning on  more manned missions ,a Lunar Landing ,and going to Mars.  The Moon is also the target of smaller countries like Israel and India who send rovers there.  

How a Palestinian State Can Work

     If there is a Palestinian it will have to have something about it unique.  Certainly if it is a UN approved state it will be small compared to neighboring Israel,  Jordan ,and Egypt.  Possibly even a micro-state like Andorra,San Marino, or Luxemburg.   The exact size might be very similar to the Trump Model very generous to Palestinian and Israeli needs.  Not the entire West Bank and no capital in Jerusalem but generous.  As Gaza Strip would be somehow included much like in the original 1992 Oslo Accords idea.  Possibly like other micro-states the country could have some purpose to help pay for it so it doesn't take handouts once a state.  Like something banking related perhaps. they could borrow a note from Switzerland or Luxeumberg. and the state could serve as a bank and as part of the global banking network.  As a bank save or place to store extra money of the record for a fee it might provide more a reason to have a Palestinian State.  Also gambling could be encouraged and casinos.  A place for even Israelis to visit.  Perhaps one day shopping malls and other industry.  So a two-state solution still possible.And a very useful country one day living side-beside Israel. 

Surprises Me About Some People

         I wonder why some people choose the end of their lives to go nuts.  Our aging celebrities choose their sixties and seventies to instead of enjoying things become Uber-dukes and rampage across America.  Don't make a mistake or mommy and daddy will off you.  So many of friends have become losers and thralls for aging superstars to crack witty jokes at.  Hey I survive I'm a graphic novelist and social media star.  I wonder why today an aging DJ chose to shitty stop being my friend. Oh well. A song that comes to mind are a few. Sentimentally Yesterday or There Are Places I Remember. I remember our Twitter friendship. Oh well by Dad hey you not my real Dad. Screw all you !!!

Working On New Project

     I am hard at work working on a new project.  This year I finished three books one, two,three. It might take several years to publish them all but I hope to do a few at least.  My current project Zayin:Endless War is the republishing of a book which actually was my first published work at a smaller publisher based in California. The book now is at my current publisher.  It will be published soon.It took originally seven years to write the book. 

Anti-Semetism in the Media

     Although there is still a healthy Jewish influence in the halls of Modern America the scourge of Anti-Semetism might be rearing its ugly head this decade of the 2020s like in previews decades like the 1930s&40s.  In recent five years of Trump,Maga Regime of Donald Trump partially lowered the threshold of resistance to hatred of Modern America.  Also 2020 and the turbulence of Covid-19 and George Floyd Riots made Ame0rica. crazier.  Both White &Black are more divided. and less united with other minorities they have to share the country with.  Anti-Semetism and casual references to "Jews" and "Kikes" are sometimes being said on NBC and mainstream news stations even PBS.  Jews are less respected even high profile Jews like myself are disrespected by old Anglo-Saxon types who are the hosts.  

How Erik Larsen Is More Dragon

         Erik Larsen creator/artist of the Savage Dragon has improved substantially in the last twenty issues.    Since issue #200. Dragon has been in Canada in exile because his political differences with President Trump who rules America as a fifty-foot giant and was lampooned generously by Larsen.     Dragon and his wife Maxine  along with Malcom &Maxine Dragon's family flee Trump Monster's America for Canada with many of America's crime-fighting freaks.   Only a few like Dart remain behind.    Dragon naturalizing in Canada leaving the cops and joining the Canadian Mounties.   

            The new issues focus on whimsical things like Dragon and his family. Dragon's  "little piggs" or children like  Amy Dragon.   Or his sexual relationship to Maxine Dragon his Asian wife.    And loads and loads of Peanuts kind of stuff whipped up with Captain Marvel goodness.  Talky Tiger would be proud of Erik.   So would the Tiger Guy in Dragon hanging out with Amy Dragon.   A very Famous Funny indeed. 

        

Bored

     As am I am writing this boy am I bored. Bored but hard at work. I am finishing up work on my upcoming graphic novel  Infinite One: Invasion.  Infinite One:Invasion is the story of high school student Mark Gold who is the martial arts powered superhero Infinite One. Mark Gold gathers his strength from an infinity shaped amulet.The amulet ages old and crafted by Egyptian gods has served many warriors throughout the ages. With it Mark Gold fights local ruffians. When the alien race the Ryzellians invades Iraq Mark Gold fights the alien invasion.  And defends the Earth and chicks after homeroom. It should be out sometime this year.  I am also finishing   another book a history book called Hasmonean Kingdom:Working Title which might be out in a year.  And someday soon hope to republish my novel.

Biden :Year One

     Biden on January 21st,2021 assumed the Presidency of the United States.  He replaced the colorful, sometimes well meaning, and dictator-like President Trump. Trump who despite exemplar foreign policy and peaceful term was much hated by much of the public. He was twice impeached and tried to even hold onto power.  Biden. upon the old president leaving assumed power and got right to business. The environment and Covid-19 are his prime concerns. As well as curbing the moguls and racial equality.  Numerous bills were passed in the first week. Perhaps later other things like Free College and helping those in need can happen. And undoing the will of Trump while maintaining the good he did.

Citizen Trump

     On September 27th,2020 I asked here on this blog a question if President Trump is a dictator. Apparently as of January 6th,2021 he might be.  Trump seems to desire to hold onto power and has not conceded. Trump seems to want to be a Napoleon or Caesar type figure. Doing great feats and achieving greatness. While occasionally weak his domestic policy his foreign policy to this point was strong and well guided. However I cannot ignore the facts that Biden won the election and is President-Elect and Trump didn't. He may not bow down. Trump,Senator Howley, and 100 House Republicans hope to give Trump a 100 Days of sort. Trump this January 6th after some speeches inspired violent Washington D.C. riots were right-wing protestors have caused riots in Washington D.C. And Capitol Buildings and have been occupied and sacked by riots. After this Trump who fascinated us seemed less like Napoleon and more like Hitler. Needing violence and militia groups to keep power. I hope Trump does not succeed. It is frightening and this Democratic Socialist and blogger hopes he fails in this coup against freedom.
