kagehina | silver medals

tokyo olympics, 2021.

tobio can see the end come with unmistakable clarity. it takes a second to score the final point; a raucous breath rattles the lungs to the core, weight rises up from the soles of the feet to the dazzling ceiling lights, the piercing screech of shoes sends the body flying, a sharp glance asses the position and height of the block. then all the strength of argentina's number 2 knocks the ball down, between the rigid fingers of a wall that is no longer insurmountable. a booming sound rumbles through the stadium as the ball crashes down, explosive and unstoppable, even for yaku, shoyo, and kiyoomi.

on the other side of the net, the argentinian team collapses on itself as soon as the whistle blows its verdict. 3-2. tears of joy, tight embraces, and a group hug submerges the players in a tide of light blue. only a few tear-streaked faces and smiling eyes emerge from the huddle, only to be reabsorbed again, pulled into a collective eruption of joy.

kageyama himself is dragged away from the net by foreceful hands and falls into his teammates' arms. the game is over.

tobio takes a breath in, and begins to recover. yaku pats him on the back, his smile trembling with tears, but he grins at kageyama and praises him heartily for his outstanding performance. a wet-eyed atsumu quickly hugs tobio and congratulates his fellow setter. ushijima shakes his hand hard and thanks him for the precision of his plays. sakusa gives a grateful nod. bokuto almost jumps onto him, grateful for his tosses. hajime walks over to his team, and even if their fingers grazed olympic gold only to settle for silver, his eyes shine with tears of pride.

hajime distributes hugs and words of support, congratulations, and comfort left and right. he pats the back of tobio's neck through his timid hug, and assures his former kouhai that he couldn't be prouder of him.

then, tobio watches hajime take a step back, make sure that his players are holding each other up, and walk over to the other side of the court, ducking under the net. he opens his arms wide and, on the argentinian side of the court, tooru comes running to him.

tobio's gaze wanders back to his side, where he meets shoyo's. the assistant coach pats his shoulder and congratulates him on a great game, to which shoyo replies with a thankful word, even though the corners of his eyes are red from rubbing out tears. still he grins at tobio, invites him forward.

tobio joins him, touching the hands open for him to take.

“your sets were the best today, kageyama!”

“your spikes were... weren't... that bad either,” tobio brings himself to say - a little raspingly, timidly. but shoyo reads him with such patience and persistent care, that tobio hopes he sees through him this time too. “but you still have to work on your receive. don't think we can stop at this, dumbass.”

“i was never going to,” shoyo frowns, but his face lights up with combativeness. the disappointment from second place morphs into a new goal, a new height that tobio wants to take him to. “next time, we'll get gold.”

*

after the medal ceremony, journalists and cameras flock to the victorious teams for post-game impressions and comments. these interviews are the ones tobio finds easier - no anecdotes to share, no personal questions to answer, no games to play. just volleyball.

as the japanese national team meets the interviewers who warmly congratulate them on their silver medal, tobio sees hajime pass by tooru out of the corner of his eye. the argentinian setter is already expressively chatting with a journalist, the hard-won gold medal sitting next to the sun of the argentinian flag on his chest. tooru catches hajime's shoulder in passing and he drags him into the interview, smiling brightly as he tells the world that he could count on the support of his /husband/ throughout. hajime's hand brushes the hollow of tooru's back and a playful smile sets on his lips as he says that marrying his rival was a real handful. but he couldn't be prouder of both his own team, and tooru.

tobio looks away, down at his feet. a sudden flush shoots up his cheeks, but the realization is a simple one: he has everything he's ever wished for. the silver medal gently weighing on his neck, the burnt taste in his throat, and the dried sweat on his forehead are his olympic dream. the someone better who kazuyo promised him came to found him, in the form of his high school teammate and rival, his opposite hitter on the jnt, his partner in volleyball and life. shoyo.

seeing hajime and tooru stand side by side, tobio thinks that maybe there is just one thing missing. he walks over to shoyo before a journalist can assail the japanese greatest decoy with post-game questions.

“hey, hinata.” heat rises to his neck, but tobio fights back - he knows all he has to do. “you're going back to brazil, and i'm going back to italy soon,” he begins.

shoyo nods with this look tobio knows by heart: he is determined to aim for the next challenge. “yes, but i'll keep track of my wins and defeats so i can win against you too!” he adds playfully, to reassure tobio before their ways part once again. “when you visit me in brazil again, or i come to italy, i'll be even stronger.”

“i'm counting on it. don't fall behind,” tobio counters instinctively, and the task at hand doesn't seem so overwhelming anymore, not so big. it is just the next logical step. shoyo's competitive smile, reserved for tobio only, and the optimistic, loving look in his eyes, are tobio's answer. “do you want to get married?”

“what— you mean...”

“to me,” tobio clarifies at shoyo's thunderstruck stutter. “before we leave japan.”

“tobio.” shoyo's parted lips break into a choked-up laugh. “of course i want to get married to you!”

“great.” a relieved smile softens tobio's serious expression. “i don't have a ring though,” he remembers, as if he only just became aware of the full implications of his proposal. “but... here.” tobio takes his silver medal off, putting it around shoyo's neck instead. “you can have this.”

“tobio...” shoyo pulls him into his arms, holding tobio tightly against his chest, where both medals dig into their jerseys, a silver thread that runs between them, keeps them close together.

“i win this time too,” tobio murmurs into shoyo's shoulder, with a victorious gentleness to his low voice.

“are you saying you just /beat/ me to proposing?”

“i did.”

“no way, kageyama! this doesn't count as winning and losing!” shoyo takes a step back to argue - lightly, with fresh redness around his eyes, like so many tearful furrows of happiness.

“it does.”

“absolutely not! this is not volleyball. or, only just a little bit!”

“alright. fine,” tobio grumbles at shoyo's insistence. “just promise me that you won't ever stop trying to get better than me.”

*

later on, the moving picture of the japanese setter and opposite hitter hugging each other by the court is all over the media. when shoyo and tobio take their leave off the olympic court, journalists don’t let the occasion pass.

“hinata-senshu, congratulations on a well-deserved silver medal! how did you feel during the game? did you imagine that you would go home with a medal at the start of the olympics?”

“the team and i always fought with the goal of winning an olympic medal in mind. we can’t predict the future, but the challenges of each game took us one step further. it was a difficult path, and this last game was no exception. the argentinian team played with amazing strength, they beat us fair and square, though we put up a fight too. i’m really happy for oikawa-senpai!”

“thank you for your comments, hinata-senshu. you made all of us dream here, in this olympic stadium. even though you live in brazil now, winning this silver medal in your home country must be something special, isn’t it?”

“it is. i love brazil, which i also consider my home. but being a representative in the japanese men’s national volleyball team is a great honor. thank you so much to everyone who believed in me!”

“thank you, hinata-senshu. and lastly, everyone has been wondering about that hug you and kageyama-senshu shared after the medal ceremony. what did kageyama-senshu say to you then? you’ve known each other since high school, haven’t you?”

“it’s true, kageyama is my oldest rival. i met him in middle-school, actually.” shoyo throws a quick glance over his shoulder, catching sight of the empty court, the tranquil net, the carts filled with volley balls. a brief smile hovers over his features - a feeling of gratitude for the past, and hopefulness for the future. “kageyama proposed to me,” the smile deepens into a warm grin as he turns back to the interviewer and camera. “and i promised him that next time, i’ll fight even harder to get us a gold medal.”

"Fun fact: I know the flags of all the countries by heart"

what's your favorite flag, or your top 3 if you can't choose?

THANKS FOR ASKING TGEL YOU'RE THE BEST

my top 3 are these flags:

3: Flag of Nepal, more than anything because of its shape; I like that it represents something as characteristic of Nepal as the Himalaya

2: Uruguay or Bosnia-Herzegovina, I can't decide bflfjfo I LOVE blue and yellow in flags, they look sooo cool imo. The Sun of May is an element that I like in the flags of Uruguay and Argentina, but the face of the sun on the Uruguayan flag looks nicer than the sun on the Argentine flag likeeee bro doesn't have the face to have so many secrets...

Ilove stars too so Bosnia is here because of it 😁

Sun of May on the flag of Argentina // Sun of May on the flag of Uruguay

1: Marshall Island, JUST LOOK AT ITTTTTT OH MY GOOOODDD ORANGE WHITE AND BLUE, THE LINES AND THE STAR OHHH LOORDDD

[txttletale]

Thoughts on the argentinian flag, and the uruguayan flag since they're similar i guess

argentina merits an easy 8/10 for me. the colours are unique and instnatly identifying, it manages to maintain decent contrast despite usign only light colorus (impressive feat) and that sun is so funky

uruguay is more of a 7. the sun is still striking but the colours are more generic and uhhh i dont like that suns face. i dont like it. i dont like the way hes smiling at me. tbh

[theirtheretheyre]

obsessed with this reddit post i found of mawali’s flag with the face of argentina’s sun on it

[descriptionator]

The following image description is very long TL;DR Stegosaurus and Wales dragon fight Eldridge Argentina and fall in love.

[Image Description: The first image posted by omghotmemes is a series of 4 Reddit posts stitched together

The first post in the image is by u/Personpacman and is titled “flag of ireland but I added a stegosaurus because that’s my favorite dinosaur :)” it depicts the former, the stegosaurus is casting a shadow and facing twards the right.

The second second post in the image is by u/JustPassingThrough and is titled “Flag of Ireland but I removed the Stegosaurus because it’s a stupid dinosaur” the stegosaurus from the first image has been crudely covered in different shades of orange, white, and green, but the shadow is still visible. A “made with mematic” logo is in the bottom left corner.

The third post in the image is by u/Personpacman and is titled “Flag of Ireland but I put the Stegosaurus back after u/JustPassingThrough— removed it because he’s stupid and has a terrible taste in dinosaurs” the Stegosaurus from the first image is placed on the second image. It is scaled down and slightly lower.

The fourth post in the image is by u/epicmoo34 and is titled “Flag of Ireland but I removed it and kept the stegosaurus” the same stegosaurus is on a very dark grey background, and a “made with mematic” is in the bottom left corner.

End of first image.

The second image in the post by hikarigolden is another Reddit post by u/yumyumchicken12 and is titled “flag of wales but the dragon is being depicted by a friend :)” the wales dragon is scaled down and towards the center right of the image, on the center left is the same stegosaurus from the previous image. They are facing each other.

End of second image.

The third image in the post by nanzyn is a Reddit post by an unknown user titled “Flag of Japan but the Wales dragon, stegosaurus, argentina sun and a pterodactyl fight the aldrich albania to end the war.” The bottom left, bottom center, and bottom right, along with the center right and top right of the Japanese flag are covered in red. On the top and bottom right, where the red is most accumulated, is a black void. Thin black arms, like tree branches, reach out across the flag. One of the Albanian eagle’s heads pokes out from the bottom right. Bottom left, the dragon, facing right, is entangled in a few of these arms. It is shoots a fireball. Top left, the stegosaurus shoots a laser, which the Albanian void deflects with a crescent shaped scribbley sheild, top right, twards the bottom left, causing an explosion right in front of the dragon. Top center, the argentina sun has laser eyes, shooting twards the bottom right, causing another explosion. The pterodactyl is top right, to the right of the sheild, it seems to be being attacked by a red pillar with black arms sprouting out of it.

End of third image

Nazan posted 11 more images, all of them are Reddit posts

Fourth image: Titled “Love wins” by u/EverGayerWombat. The stegosaurus and dragon are on the wales flag, same sides as image 2, slightly bigger and closer together. Purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red hearts are between them, in that order from left to right.

Fifth image: Titled “Albania but i added too many heads oh no what the fuck have I done” by u/Rofenom. The Albanian eagle has 30 heads, randomly strewn throughout it’s body some bigger or smaller than others.

Sixth image: Titled “Flag of Ireland but eldridge albania got it because the stegosaurus wasn’t there but the stegosaurus knew what would happen if he left” the Irish flag is darkened and in the center is the Eldridge Albanian eagle from the last image, glowing red and sprouting thick, tree branch-like arms. The argentina sun is center right, surrounded by purple menacing symbols from jojo’s bizarre adventure.

Seventh image: Titled “flag of wales but its being attacked by eldridge albania” by u/Rofenom.

The Wales flag has been extended at the top and the right, placing the dragon in the bottom left corner. The dragon is facing right, where a fractal-like wave of Albanian eagle heads is approaching, surrounded by red. Thin arms with 2 claws reach towards the dragon, a 3 of them grabbing them, one of them draws blood. The dragon cries and breathes a stream of fire.

Eighth image: Titled “flag of wales but the dragon is getting attacked by eldridge Albania but a familiar face has showed up to save the day” by u/hiyathe. In the image from before, the stegosaurus is placed above the dragon, with purple jojo’s bizarre adventures symbols.

Tenth image: Titled “Flag of Greece, where the Greeks made a prision to stop the abomination from spreading, but the Eldridge Albania has a phone and lock picking tools and is learning from the LockPickingLawer how to escape” by an unknown user. Eldridge Albania is behind the white stripes of the Greek flag. The lock picking tools are center left, the phone is bottom right with a speech bubble that says “Nice click out of one Two is binding…”

Eleventh image: Titled “Love may think it won today, but an ancient evil slumbers for a thousand more years, waiting to return” by u/LordAdder. Same as the Fourth image with the rainbow hearts, but in the bottom right corner is the head of the Albanian eagle surrounded by red.

Thirteenth image: Titled “And they lived happily ever after…” by u/ahmetmyson. The stegosaurus and dragon stand in front of a yellow house with a porch, center right. 3 children stand in a triangular formation, center right. The top one has a stegosaurus body, with dragon wings and head. The bottom left one has a dragon front half and stegosaurus front half. The bottom right one has a stegosaurs head and a dragon body without wings.

Fourteenth image: Titled “Flag of wales but the dragon is getting in on years so his son Owain has taken over the job of being on the flag” by u/PeppyHairFucker. It’s the Wales flag but the dragon has a stegosaurus head. End ID]

Here is the text of the video, translated into English. Seriously, check out this video, this guy is awesome.

"Conspiracy Theories" by Guille Aquino.

Posted on June 27, 2019.

--------------------------------------------------

Warning: if you're influenceable, you need to watch this.

--------------------------------------------------

Alright, before we start, I want us to welcome and applaud our new friends from the CIA, the FBI, NASA, the former SIDE -today, the AFI-, the KGB, Interpol, and the lazy virgins at the troll centre on Miserere Park, who are surely already watching this video because today we're gonna talk about...

Conspiracy Theories.

We all know some: the humans didn't go to the Moon, the 9/11 was a self-attack by the USA's government, Bin Laden never existed, Walt Disney is frozen, Elvis Presley is alive, the Simpsons predict the future, Marcelo Tinelli went to a famous hospital with a famous object inserted in a famous place on his body, and Dengue and Zika fever were created by Bill Gates who genetically modified mosquitoes to depopulate the Earth because it most likely was easier than making work that "Internet Explorer" bulls*** he sold us. But let's get to the news: in early 2019, YouTube modified its recommendation algorithm to avoid promoting conspiracy theories and false information. And let's stop here because I want us to become aware of the magnitude this matter took on and how this little joke of the conspiracy theories videos completely went to Hell.

Think of it this way: YouTube, the second most trafficked website in the world after Google, with over 30 million visitors per day and over 1.3 billion users -almost a third of all people connected to the Internet in the world-, where 300 hours of videos are uploaded per minute and almost 500 trillion videos are viewed per day, had to change its own recommendation system because all of us were watching too many videos denouncing that Lali Espósito is an Illuminati:

Video excerpt: [with obvious robotic voice] "Also, at the second Number Ten, she covers one of her eyes again, obviously symbolizing the All-Seeing Eye."

And I'm very sorry to tell you that, in today's world, if YouTube has a problem, we all have a problem.

Conspiracy theories are the Internet's new porn. In fact, if you filter the words "conspiracy" and "theories" by the number of views, the most viewed video has 36 million views. THIRTY-SIX! MILLION! VIEWS! That's like putting together the total populations of Belgium, Greece, Cuba and Jamaica, and then lighting a giant reefer to everyone and making them watch this video of people saying the Earth is flat:

Another video excerpt: [Channel 13 interview with Flat-Earthers, recorded in a park in Buenos Aires] "I pour water into this dish... Look, I pour water, and it stays, you see? But we pour water into the globe... and it goes down, people."

Okay, now we're gonna go over some of the most popular conspiracy theories of recent times, and we're gonna try to deconstruct the psychological profile of the average consumer of the conspiranoid world.

--------------------------------------------------

We'll start with everyone's favourite...

The Flat-Earthers.

Excerpt of the second video: "This first meeting began to be announced in the groups I followed on YouTube. (And the tattoo you have there, what is it?) This is the flat Earth, the Sun and the Moon."

The Flat-Earthers basically hold the theory that the Earth is not actually spherical, and they claim Galileo Galilei was an old smoke-seller blabbermouth who often played into the Far-Right's hands, cut his hair in an old-fashioned barbershop and used the 1610 telescope mainly to bed with chicks. And I have nothing personal against the Flat-Earthers but I find it difficult to take them seriously, mostly because much of their scientific hypothesis can be explained with this blooper.

Excerpt of another, different video: "There's an inflatable pool filled with water and with two people in it, a third person suddenly jumps into the water, and the pool deforms and overflows on the other side, as one of the two previously present people also falls over the edge."

(Images from the film "Armageddon".)

The truth is that the "flat Earth" theory has one fundamental premise, and it's the same one that supports 100% of conspiracy theories:

There's a power above us that manages everything.

Governments, lobbies and other de facto powers are capable of lying on a massive scale, just as intelligence services, the New World Order and FlyBondi hostesses do.

Excerpt of the second video: "(And you can't see the curvature of the Earth from the plane.) Uh... I travelled by plane to Bariloche, and no, I didn't see it. There's some aircraft glass with a small magnification or something that changes your perspective, due to the thickness of the window, and because aircraft glass also has something."

Alright, stop, let's not turn this into "Point at the crazy assholes and laugh" either, right? Well, yes, a little- But we go beyond that! We're better than that!

Why do so many people choose to believe we're puppets of an evil system? One might say that, in the absence of a sense of real control over our own lives and in the face of the desolation of living in a seemingly random, chaotic world, believing there's an external force exerting control is, to some extent, comforting. Yes, phone the Vatican.

And according to a certain old white upper-middle-class snob who teaches at Harvard University, conspiracy theorists share several or at least one of the following features: they're paranoid, radical, extremist in their opinions; they aspire to a feeling of superiority, and basically, they feel special for possessing information that exceeds the common citizen. Yeah, it's like the row for an indie film festival.

Umberto Eco even said:

"The control syndrome invades us. When someone claims to have a secret, their strength is not in hiding something but in making people think there's even a secret in the first place."

And I didn't understand a f*** because I've never read a book in my life, but it sounds ultra-mega-hyper cool. I dare you to deny it!

So who would be the most likely to believe in these kinds of theories? People who had bad experiences in life, people in search of an answer that would rescue them from a deep existential crisis, and the most important: people in search of a place of belonging.

Excerpt of the second video: "Well, no, this opened a door for me to start thinking more, to question things, about a supposed alien invasion."

Wait, stop right there. Excuse me, but if I'm an alien and I have the power to cross the universe in a spaceship, with my own army and the ability to colonize a celestial body, I don't even waste my time invading a paper-thin planet. Give me a round planet or give me death!

And that's when the contradiction comes into play. Because if you believe in one conspiracy theory, you immediately start to believe in all of them. It's like the weed. Even the refutation of a plot fits within the plot itself: for example, if you believe Lady Diana was killed by the British Crown, you're also prone to believe Lady Diana is actually still alive.

(Woah, Mind Blown... She was totally killed anyway, sorry.)

--------------------------------------------------

Good, let's move on to the next one:

The Anti-Vaccination movement.

Okay, here we come to a key point, since clearly there are the "harmless" conspiracy theories and the... rather dangerous ones. We've all heard someone say vaccines may cause autism in kids. Now, I'm clearly a specialist in absolutely nothing, and I ain't gonna explain why you guys have to vaccinate your children, so I better recommend to you the websites of any Ministry of Health or Wikipedia, so that you later visit them and find out how very important it is to inject legal drugs to your sweet little angels. And it's not to detract from any position or to err on the side of bigotry, but if you're an anti-vax and your baby coughs next to me, I swear I'll kick their head off.

(Tack! That bag of germs...)

And after all, that's why we invented Democracy!

(Ha, of course not, but...)

In fact, I dunno who gives a f*** about this but maybe someone will find it useful: I follow a pretty simple method when it comes to ideologically locating myself regarding any issue. And this is:

Always do the opposite of whatever Gisela Barreto says.

Gisela Barreto: [speaks with a flag in the background] "Vaccines show up, and they show them to us as something that heals us. Actually, they're part of our death."

(Seriously, she came this close to being in the Avengers.)

--------------------------------------------------

Okay, and now let's move on to one that touches us all closely (at least here, in my country):

Hitler in Argentina.

It's the conspiracy theory ensuring that, after losing World War II, the Nazi leader, the most disgusting dictator and genocide in Human History, came to live incognito in our country. And I ask myself: what the heck did we need to shelter Hitler for? The birth of Alejandro Biondini, who's pretty much our local version of Nazism, was imminent:

Interview with Biondini in 1991 by Mariano Grondona in his program "Key Time":

Grondona: "Would you condemn Adolf Hitler?"

Biondini: "No, we vindicate Adolf Hitler."

--------------------------------------------------

Okay, question: is it possible to keep a secret on such a large scale for so many years? Well, the Math says no. Seriously! I've read that a physicist at the Oxford University (Where else?) took the "humans didn't go to the Moon" theory, and then this guy created a mathematical calculation based on the number of conspirators involved, the time elapsed since the conspiracy, and the inherent possibility that a plot would fail.

For example, in the case of Apollo 11, 411 thousand NASA employees were involved, and according to the variables this physicist analyzed, the lie should have been known in less than four years; half a century passed, and no employee denied the mission. What does this tell us? Well... they were threatened and killed off, of course! It's obvious! [imitating Mirtha Legrand] Stanley Kubrick was not in the coffin! Nobody saw him. Nobody saw him!

--------------------------------------------------

Gimme more!

Famous people who are actually dead.

For example, Paul McCartney. On the cover of the album "Abbey Road", he's barefoot; a clear subliminal message that the real one died and was replaced with a stand-in. (Why?!) It sounds silly, but the rumour got so big that McCartney himself had to go out and publicly deny it... Although come to think of it, he also came out to congratulate the butchers who named their butcher shop "Paul Mac Carne" ["Paul McMeat"], so maybe he's truly a stand-in and, to top it off, looks like a raisin.

Excerpt of another video: "Well, thinking of different names, someone said "Paul Mac Carne". And well, he, being a vegetarian, says the idea was very good, started laughing and sent us a greeting."

--------------------------------------------------

I love this one:

The Reptilians.

It's basically the theory that there's a race of amphibian aliens [Wait for a second: aren't they called "reptilians"?] living among us for centuries and hiding their reptilian features behind human faces.

(Oh, you were telling me they're not actually aliens because they were born here?)

Excerpt of the 1996 movie "Mars Attacks!".

And who discovered this? David Icke! Or "Ique". An unsuccessful former soccer player and sportscaster. (How can you be unsuccessful as a soccer sportscaster?! All you need is a suit!) It's like believing in a religion where your Pope is Diego Latorre.

--------------------------------------------------

Now, I know what you're thinking: after all, how dangerous can all this get? I mean, no conspiracy theory has someone popular to represent it, no spokesperson of ridiculous and implausible plots has reached a truly important position in today's world.

Bah... There's actually only one.

The President of the United States of America.

That's right! Donald Trump, once the leader of the most powerful country in the world, had come to power mostly by throwing out fake news and conspiracy theories. And here are some:

Barack Obama is an immigrant.

Trump: "And I just say: why doesn't he show his birth certificate?"

Global warming is a myth.

Trump: "Obama is saying all of this has to do with global warming and I say all that is a hoax..."

Gisela Barreto was right.

Trump: "At two and a half years old, the baby, the beautiful baby, went to get the vaccine. Now he's autistic."

--------------------------------------------------

Okay, then... Conspiracy theories. For what? Well, in the case of Trump: influence on public opinion and accumulation of power. In the case of people who upload videos to YouTube... What do you think? A profitable, monetizable business! In fact, there's the conspiracy theory that we're actually making this video about conspiracy theories in order to have lots of views and earn buttloads of cash. (We'd never do that!)

And finally, a much deeper, inherent aspect of the human condition:

The need to believe in something.

The world is divided into two types of people: some think everything happens for a reason, everything is a sign, and perhaps there's also a magical entity organizing things for us; the other half of the people think we live in a desolate world without meaning or messages, there are only atoms randomly colliding with each other, and the Universe gives no f***s about us. Which of these two groups seems happier to you? Which one do you belong to? Which one would you like to belong to? I choose to join the conspiranoids! And listen to this, I know exactly what's going on:

The New World Order organized the Lollapalooza at the request of the Illuminati, who wanted to marketingly manage Lali Espósito, who actually wears a mask and underneath is "La Mona" Giménez, who's not actually a monkey but a reptile and has drank all the wine to get immunized against the vaccines at the request of Gisela Barreto, who was born in Corrientes just like Barack Obama, who claimed to have killed Bin Laden, who's actually alive and was driving the car that crashed that night and carried Chano Charpentier, who taught driving to Lady Diana, who was actually Mexican and was assassinated by Donald Trump, who was matched on Tinder with Hitler, who lives in a nursing home in Recoleta and has glaucoma, so he's hitting the reefers with Biondini, who is actually a hippie and a fan of León Gieco, invented global warming and, when being in a bad mood, takes a bus and goes to dinner at "Paul Mac Carne", where they invented the extra-thin Provoleta cheese, which coincidentally has the same shape as the Earth, which is actually flat!

*sigh* Knowledge is power. Quiero creer.

Sun Myung Moon’s One-World Theocracy

by Robert Parry

... A silent testimony to Moon’s clout is the fact that his vast spending of billions of dollars in secretive Asian money to influence U.S. politics – spanning nearly a quarter century – has gone virtually unmentioned amid the current controversy over Asian donations to U.S. politicians.

With unintended irony, Moon’s Washington Times repeatedly has featured stories about secret Asian money going to Democrats. “More than a million dollars of this foreign money is believed to have been contributed to the Democrats, putting the election up for auction,” charged Times’ editor Wesley Pruden in a typical column. [Oct. 18, 1996]

The blind spot on Moon is especially curious since there have been U.S. government allegations dating back to the 1970s that Moon’s organization fronted for the South Korean CIA and funnelled money to Washington for right-wing Japanese industrialists. For the past 15 years, The Washington Times has been the most obvious conduit for this foreign money. The newspaper and its sister publications – Insight and The World & I – have cost Moon an estimated $1 billion in losses. Yet, Moon has never accounted for the sources of his money.

Moon’s jingle of deep-pocket cash also has caused conservatives to turn a deaf ear toward Moon’s recent anti-American diatribes. With growing virulence, Moon has denounced the United States and its democratic principles, often referring to America as “Satanic.” But these statements have gone virtually unreported, even though the texts of his sermons are carried on the Internet and their timing has coincided with Bush’s warm endorsements of Moon.

“America has become the kingdom of individualism, and its people are individualists,” Moon preached in Tarrytown, N.Y., on March 5, 1995. “You must realize that America has become the kingdom of Satan.”

In similar remarks to followers on Aug. 4, 1996, Moon vowed that the church’s eventual dominance over the United States would be followed by the liquidation of American individualism. “Americans who continue to maintain their privacy and extreme individualism are foolish people,” Moon declared. “The world will reject Americans who continue to be so foolish. Once you have this great power of love, which is big enough to swallow entire America, there may be some individuals who complain inside your stomach. However, they will be digested.”

During the same sermon, Moon decried assertive American women. “American women have the tendency to consider that women are in the subject position,” he said. “However, woman’s shape is like that of a receptacle. The concave shape is a receiving shape. Whereas, the convex shape symbolizes giving. ... Since man contains the seed of life, he should plant it in the deepest place.

“Does woman contain the seed of life? [“No.”] Absolutely not. Then if you desire to receive the seed of life, you have to become an absolute object. In order to qualify as an absolute object, you need to demonstrate absolute faith, love and obedience to your subject. Absolute obedience means that you have to negate yourself 100 percent.”

Evil Hamburgers

These pronouncements contrast with Moon’s lavish praise of the United States disseminated for public consumption during his early forays to Washington. On Sept. 18, 1976, at a flag-draped rally at the Washington Monument, Moon declared that “the United States of America, transcending race and nationality, is already a model of the unified world.” He called America “the chosen nation of God” and added that “I not only respect America, but truly love this nation.”

Yet, even as Moon has soured on America, his recruiters continue to use that flag-draped scene of the Washington Monument to lure new followers. The patriotic image struck powerfully with John Stacey when the college freshman watched a video of that speech while undergoing Unification Church recruitment in 1992.

“American flags were everywhere,” recalled Stacey, a thin young man from central New Jersey. “The first video they showed me was Reverend Moon praising America and praising Christianity.” In 1992, Stacey considered himself a patriotic American and a faithful Christian. He soon joined the Unification Church.

Stacey became a Pacific Northwest leader in Moon’s Collegiate Association for the Research of Principles [CARP]. “They liked to hang me up because I’m young and I’m American,” Stacey told me. “It’s a good image for the church. They try to create the all-American look, where I think they’re usurping American values, that they’re anti-American.”

At a 1995 leadership conference at a church compound in Anchorage, Alaska, Stacey met face-to-face with Moon who was sitting on a throne-like chair while a group of American followers, many middle-aged converts from the 1970s, sat at his feet like children.

“Reverend Moon looked at me straight in the eye and said, ‘America is Satanic. America is so Satanic that even hamburgers should be considered evil, because they come from America’,” recalled Stacey. “Hamburgers! My father was a butcher, so that bothered me. ... I started feeling that I was betraying my country.”

Moon’s criticism of Jesus also unsettled Stacey. “In the church, it’s very anti-Jesus,” Stacey said. “Jesus failed miserably. He died a lonely death. Reverend Moon is the hero that comes and saves pathetic Jesus. Reverend Moon is better than God. ... That’s why I left the Moonies. Because it started to feel like idolatry. He’s promoting idolatry.”

One-World Theocracy

Despite growing disaffection among many longtime followers and other problems, Moon’s empire still prospers financially, backed by vast sources of mysterious wealth. “It’s a multi-billion-dollar international conglomerate,” noted Steve Hassan, a former church leader who has written a book about religious cults, entitled Combatting Cult Mind Control. At his Internet site, Hassan has a 31-page list of organizations connected to the Unification Church, many secretively.

“Here’s a man [Moon] who says he wants to take over the world, where all religions will be abolished except Unificationism, all languages will be abolished except Korean, all governments will be abolished except his one-world theocracy,” Hassan said in an interview. “Yet he’s wined and dined very powerful people and convinced them that he’s benign.”

Hassan argued that perhaps the greatest danger of the Unification Church is that it will outlive Moon, since the organization has grown so immense and powerful that other leaders will step forward to lead it. “There are groups out there that want to use this organization,” Hassan said.

A couple of years ago, Moon shifted his personal base of operation to a luxurious estate in Uruguay. The church has been investing tens of millions of dollars in that nation since the early 1980s when Moon was close to the military government. In a sermon on Jan. 2, 1996, Moon was unusually blunt about how he expected the church’s wealth to buy influence among the powerful in South America, just as it did in Washington.

“Father has been practicing the philosophy of fishing here,” Moon said, through an interpreter who spoke of Moon in the third person. “He [Moon] gave the bait to Uruguay and then the bigger fish of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay kept their mouths open, waiting for a bigger bait silently. The bigger the fish, the bigger the mouth. Therefore, Father is able to hook them more easily.”

As part of his business strategy, Moon explained that he would dot the continent with small airstrips and construct bases for submarines which could evade Coast Guard patrols. His airfield project would allow tourists to visit “hidden, untouched, small places” throughout South America, he said.

“Therefore, they need small airplanes and small landing strips in the remote countryside. ... In the near future, we will have many small airports throughout the world.” Moon wanted the submarines because “there are so many restrictions due to national boundaries worldwide. If you have a submarine, you don’t have to be bound in that way.”

(As strange as Moon’s submarine project might sound, a cable from the U.S. Embassy in Japan, dated Feb. 18, 1994, cited press reports that a Moon-connected Japanese company, Toen Shoji, had bought 40 Russian submarines. The subs were supposedly bound for North Korea where they were to be dismantled and melted down as scrap.)

Moon also recognized the importance of media in protecting his curious operations, which sound like an invitation to drug traffickers. He boasted to his followers that with his vast array of political and media assets, he will dominate the new Information Age. “That is why Father has been combining and organizing scholars from all over the world, and also newspaper organizations – in order to make propaganda,” Moon said. Central to that success in South America is Tiempos del Mundo.
