I would be hard pressed to come up with a WEIRDER lineup for an Injustice League than this one. That Harpy one isn't even real Action Comics 443

[wanderingmind867]

Besides Poison Ivy, this Injustice Gang is fine. I wish Chronos actually had time control powers, but he never does. But Mirror Master and The Shadow Thief are both fun. The others are more of a sliding scale of quality, to me. (Justice League of America #111):

by Ruthie Blum

When all hell broke loose over Schocken’s mendacious depiction of an Israel that only exists in the minds of those who wish to see it disappear, he issued a clarification.

“I’ve reconsidered what I said,” he announced on Thursday. “There are many freedom fighters in the world and through history, perhaps also on the path to the establishment of the State of Israel, who carried out shocking and dreadful terrorist activities and harmed innocent people in order to achieve their goals. I should have said, ‘Freedom fighters who also use terrorist methods and need to be fought against.’ The use of terrorism is not legitimate.”

The implication was obvious: Jews also employed evil methods to achieve statehood. Whatever neat trick he thought he was pulling flopped at generating sympathy, let alone applause.

Which brings us to the second speech, that also had a jaw-dropping effect, but for the opposite reason. This one was delivered by former U.S. President Bill Clinton.

At a rally on Wednesday for Kamala Harris in the swing state of Michigan, Clinton appealed to the voters who’ve come out against the Democratic candidate for her administration’s ostensibly unforgiveable support for Israel. He did this by setting the record straight about the Palestinians’ attitude to the Jewish state.

Though opening with a call for a re-start of the “peace process,” he acknowledged the culprit behind its repeated failure.

“I understand why young Palestinian and Arab Americans in Michigan think too many people have died,” he began. “But if you lived in one of those kibbutzim in Israel, right next to Gaza, where the people there were the most pro-friendship with Palestine—the most pro-two-state-solution of any of the Israeli communities were the ones right next to Gaza, and Hamas butchered them.”

He continued: “The people who criticize [Israel’s response] are essentially saying, ‘Yeah, but look how many people you’ve killed in retaliation. How many is enough for you to kill to punish them for the terrible things they did?’ That all sounds nice until you realize what you would do if it was your family and you hadn’t done anything but support a homeland for the Palestinians, and one day they come for you and slaughter the people in your village. You would say, ‘You have to forgive me, but I’m not keeping score that way.’ It isn’t how many we’ve had to kill because Hamas makes sure that they’re shielded by civilians. They’ll force you to kill civilians if you want to defend yourself.”

Invoking the authority born of having hosted the 2000 Camp David Summit to forge a treaty that would result in the creation of an independent Palestinian state, Clinton admitted, “Look, I worked on this hard. And the only time [PLO chief] Yasser Arafat didn’t tell me the truth was when he promised me he was going to accept the peace deal that we had worked out, which would have given the Palestinians a state on 96% of the West Bank and 4% of Israel—and they got to choose where the 4% of Israel was. So they would have the effect of the same land of all the West Bank. They’d have a capital in east Jerusalem.”

Pausing to express sadness mixed with frustration, he interjected, “I can hardly talk about this.”

Aaron Rupar and Stephen Robinson at Public Notice:

By Stephen Robinson

Donald Trump has downplayed the $130,000 hush payment made on his behalf to adult film performer Stormy Daniels as a “simple private transaction.” In reality, it may have changed the course of US history. Trump, of course, is now on trial in New York for charges related to the October 2016 payoff, including falsifying business records with an intent to unlawfully influence an election. Arguably, the New York indictment is the least headline-grabbing of the four he faces, in part because the hush money scheme pales in comparison with stealing classified documents, inciting an insurrection, or trying to overturn an election. Politically, however, it can’t be overstated just how large a role the Daniels payment played in helping Trump squeak his way into the White House. Instead of getting lost in the legal weeds, it’s important to take a step back and examine the context surrounding the payoff and why it was an existential matter for Trump in the weeks leading up to his victory in November 2016.

Why Trump desperately needed to hush Daniels

About a month out from election day 2016, the Trump campaign was on the ropes. The infamous Access Hollywood tape that showed Trump boasting about groping women in September 2005 was the ultimate October surprise. In the wake of its release on October 7, a number of prominent Republicans withdrew their support, and swing state voters were abandoning him in droves. Days before the tape’s release, Trump had a narrow one-point lead in Wisconsin among likely voters. The first polling conducted after the poll’s release showed Hillary Clinton ahead by six points, and by October 10, her lead had grown to 19 points.

CNN’s Chris Cillizza and Aaron Blake wrote on October 11 that “the 2016 electoral map is rapidly slipping away from Donald Trump.” Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania were all “lean Democrat,” and Florida, Ohio, and North Carolina were tossups. Cillizza and Blake estimated that “if the election were held today, Hillary Clinton would win 341 electoral votes to Donald Trump's 197.” Unfortunately for us all, the election wasn’t held on October 11, and less than a month later, Trump would sweep all six of those states. This improbable comeback is usually linked to FBI Director James Comey’s October 28 letter that publicly announced the FBI had “learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation” into Clinton’s private email server use. The emails were only tangentially related to the FBI’s investigation into Anthony Weiner’s illicit text messages to a 15-year-old North Carolina girl, but this added an extra salacious element to the story, which soon appeared on the front page of the New York Times and dominated the news cycle.

Behind the scenes of the Daniels payoff

The Daniels affair wasn’t the only extramarital tryst Trump was trying to keep under wraps in the months before the 2016 election. In June 2016, a month before the Republican National Convention, Karen McDougal, an actress and former Playboy model, tried to sell her story about an alleged affair she had with Trump from 2006 to April 2007. (Trump married Melania in 2005 and their son Barron was born in March 2006.) The National Enquirer secured the rights to McDougal’s account for $150,000 but had no intention of publishing the story. National Enquirer publisher David Pecker confirmed last week during his testimony in Trump’s criminal trial that this “catch and kill” tactic was specifically done to benefit Trump’s campaign, bolstering federal prosecutors’ case that the McDougal deal was meant "to suppress [her] story so as to prevent it from influencing the election."

But with Trump’s campaign on the ropes in the wake of the Access Hollywood bombshell, Daniels became an urgent concern. She told National Enquirer editor-in-chief Dylan Howard on October 8 that she was willing to go on the record about her alleged affair. This was the day after the Access Hollywood tape’s release, so the timing of a new scandal about Trump having an affair with an adult film actress might have been fatal to his political hopes. Trump was spinning the Access Hollywood recording as merely “locker room talk” — not something he’d actually do in real life — but Daniels, like McDougal, claimed that Trump cheated on his wife who’d given birth to their son just a few months earlier. This revelation that Trump was cheating not only on his wife but on his mistress with an adult film actress would have solidified Trump’s sleazeball image with the undecided voters he needed to swing his way.

[...] Republicans and right-wing media have spent the past three years whining that suppression of the New York Post’s “blockbuster Hunter Biden laptop story” cost Trump the 2020 election. The utterly shameless Rep. Elise Stefanik claimed at a House select subcommittee hearing last year that “according to polling, of the people who were made aware of the Hunter Biden laptop story, 53 percent would have changed their vote, including 61 percent of Democrats. This is the definition of election meddling … it’s collusion, it’s corruption, and it’s unconstitutional.” It’s also a blatant lie, as PolitiFact gave Stefanik’s statement a “false” rating.

In the immediate aftermath of the release of the 2005 Access Hollywood tape in which Donald Trump infamously was caught bragging about sexual assault, Stormy Daniels sought to tell her story to the National Enquirer… only for them to kill it from being publicized.

Had that fact been publicized before the voters in 2016, it would have been a fatal blow to the Trump campaign. Alas, that didn’t happen, and Trump won in 2016.

I'm coming back to my Justice League of Canada ideas again. Because seriously, I have close to 70 or 80 ideas for this thing saved in my phone. So let's try and share more. I left off with a cliffhanger regarding Issue #42, so here's the beginning of the resolution of that storyline.

Issue #43: After Issue 42's dramatic conclusion, the comic goes on hiatus. Because there's three seperate solo comics I need to write in order to give people context: there's the miniseries about Jemm, Son of Saturn, some of the events of which I covered in my note on Jemm. But there's also William Nielsen's solo comic, the story of a normal human man discovering his life is a lie and then having to cope with really being a powerful android, and there's The Question series. Because we need to introduce Vic Sage to audiences too. So these three series (plus maybe a solo series for the phantom stranger or for the green lantern corps) are definitely necessary reading before reading Justice League Canada #43, hence the book going on a 7 month hiatus.

This hiatus would be addressed in other books, though. In the pages of The Protectors, Martian Manhunter admits to having an uneasy feeling regarding his old team's safety, while Doctor Fate warns him they can't meddle in the affairs of that other team. It's a conflict of gods, and we're not yet involved… Red Tornado and Captain Marvel/Shazam both admit to having concerns about their old team in the pages of the Justice Society and Squadron of Justice comics, too.

But now to the actual plot of the story: the Justice League has been missing for 7 months. People have been concerned, but nobody's been able to find anything out of place. It's just like they've all vanished into thin air. People just assume they're off on a mission though, so alarm bells haven't immediately started going off.

But this is when things get even more interesting. Enter our five protagonists: Jemm Bhokanius, the Son of Saturn and King of the Solar Federation. William Nielsen and Willow, an android and a mystical martial artist who refuses to disclose her past. Sam Heartsea, an old member of the team who was off on a leave of absence. And The Question, otherwise known as Vic Sage, a skilled investigative journalist and media personality on canadian news stations like the CBC.

All five of them are here for different reasons, though: Jemm came to earn earth's goodwill (so they'd join the solar federation) by serving on the Justice League for three years. William Nielsen was an android built to infiltrate the Justice League Canada. Although he turned on his creators, William realized the league is all that connects him to life. So he thought he might as well go see them. Willow and her child Sequoiah go with William, just because Willow sees a kindred spirit in William. Sam was coming back to the league after his months long hiatus meditating back in Newfoundland. And The Question was the only one of these five aware of the League vanishing, so he broke into their headquarters (disregarding government regulations), all so he could get answers.

But none of these five expected to see each other here. So they almost all end up fighting and turning on each other, before they eventually come to their senses and tell each other who they are. But then the real villian makes himself known: it's Chronos, that C-list villian of The Atom. But something seems different about him. Something…sinister. And before anyone knows what's going on, they all begin to disappear too. And this story will be continued over the course of the next few issues…

1. Jemm, Son of Saturn

2. The Question (Vic Sage)

3. William Nielsen

4. Willow/Mantis

5. The Admiral (Sam Heartsea)

Issue #44: Let me now explain what's going on. The C-List Supervillian known as Chronos has actually gotten himself possesed by the spirit of the Titan Kronos/Saturn, and Saturn's planning schemes of world domination. His big plan is to mess with the timestream. On other worlds or in other times he's tried other schemes (like the second titan war of of the Percy Jackson series), but he knows better now. He'll merely exile superheroes to the past or to his altered future. Meanwhile, he's going to go about recruiting an army of supervillians…

But now for the plot of this issue: We join William Nielsen and Willow, who's found themselves in a dystopian future world, oppressed by massive armies. While trying to fend for their lives, these two find a resistance movement, being partially led by Booster Gold. Turns out Chronos exiled him here too, and so he's been stuck leading rebellions in a dystopian future for the past few months. For once, Booster Gold's boasts about from the future have actually come true.

But now William, Willow and Booster are stuck trying to figure out how to escape from a life in this far future world. Since there's no clear way out, they just have to play along by trying to restore freedom to all the oppressed humans under Saturn's control in this future world. But this issue would leave them still trapped in the far future, since we'll need someone with powerful magics to get involved and free them later.

1. William Nielsen

2. Willow/Mantis

3. Booster Gold (Michael Jon Carter)
