Zike HEIL, herr Fuhrer DeSantis!

Ron DeSantis just kidnapped a 13-year old boy.

Earlier this evening, at around 7 PM CT U.S., Rebekah Jones (notably one of DeSantis’ biggest political enemies right now) underwent a raid on her home by state police.

Guns were pointed in the face of her 13-year old son, Jack. They arrested him under the charges of digital terrorism and “on state orders.”

They are refusing to let him go home and they are refusing to let Jones see him.

These are her screenshots recounting the incident from earlier tonight. They were taken at 10:23 PM CT U.S.

Reblog. I don’t care who you are, reblog this. We have to make sure that this doesn’t get buried – it’s already happening.

Trump campaign struggles to contain Puerto Rico October surprise

It is absolutely sending me that this is what finally did it. To get everyone on the same page here, an "October surprise" in American politics is something unexpected that derails a political campaign at the last minute, right before Election Day in the U.S. (first Tuesday in November). Back in 2016, we thought it was the Access Hollywood "grab them by the pussy" tape, and then way too many people just shrugged and Trump won anyway, because the actual October surprise turned out to be FBI Director James Comey rocking up and announcing an investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server. But Her Emails, etc.

So this year, of course, I and the rest of r/politics have been sitting here waiting for shit to go down, most likely re: Trump rather than Harris (I say as I knock on my wooden kitchen table), but what could he do that's any worse than what he's already done this year? Than what we already know of his past?

Apparently, everyone has decided it's this. It's a dude who is not even Trump getting up at the Madison Square Garden Nazis-In-America nostalgia rally Sunday night and telling shitty racist jokes. Not the one about "Latinos coming," not the one about Black people and watermelons, not even other things Hinchcliffe said in the same speech. It's not any number of heinous things various other speakers said (scroll down). No, it's

"There’s a lot going on. I don’t know if you know this but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico."

It's not thumbs up at Arlington Cemetery, it's not THEY'RE EATING THE DOGS, it's not "I wish I had generals like Hitler's" and all the other times Trump admired Nazis. It's this.

I mean, everyone is correct to be outraged about this, I'm glad that it's gained traction and more people than usual are actually shocked and politicians are panicking, and Puerto Ricans both on the island and the mainland have my deep I'm-sorry-sympathy that they have been insulted this way. But--maybe it's just the last-minute timing, but it is blowing my mind that THIS, finally, from a guy who isn't even Trump, is the October Surprise.

Post 0617

The judge said he entered the day with the idea of sentencing to a term in the “double digits.”

Colton Fears, Florida inmate W70362, born 1989, incarceration intake in 2019 at age 30, released 01/24/2022

Accessory after the Fact

Colton Fears, the getaway driver for the man who shot at a protester after a Gainesville speech by white nationalist Richard Spencer, was poised to get out of jail with credit for time served.

At a March 2019 hearing, the prosecutor and defense attorney both wanted it. Fears, 30, had only a minor part in the crime and no longer expressed white nationalist views, they said, and his willingness to testify against the shooter, Texas white nationalist Tyler Tenbrink, also merited consideration.

But that morning in Gainesville, Circuit Judge James Colaw just couldn't get past Fears' participation in a crime "intended to scare, threaten or harm." Colaw sentenced him to the full five years in prison.

The Texas native was sentenced for his role in an Oct. 19, 2017, shooting, in which no one was injured, following Spencer's speaking event at the University of Florida.

Fears, who pleaded guilty in earlier, received credit for 515 days in county jail. He was charged initially with attempted first-degree murder, but that was reduced to accessory after the fact to attempted first-degree murder after he agreed to testify against Tenbrink.

Police say Tenbrink (Florida inmate G50325) was the one who shot at the protester. He pleaded no contest to charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and was sentenced on Feb. 27 to 15 years in prison.

Fears was the getaway driver after his brother, William, riled up a crowd of protesters by cheering Adolf Hitler and Tenbrink fired the shot. Fears drove a Jeep from the crime scene, for which he showed remorse in court Monday.

“I am embarrassed to be entangled in your court system, your Honor,” Fears said. “I wish I would have never came to Gainesville. Everything that happened that day is a regret.”

Prosecution and defense attorneys agreed that a time-served sentence of 17 month would be appropriate. Assistant State Attorney George Wright and Fears’ attorney, Lucas Taylor, said they believed Fears no longer expressed the white nationalist views of his brother and Tenbrink. The lawyers said witness testimony corroborated a claim by Fears that he never got out of the vehicle during the shooting and noted that, as the driver, he was a “minor participant” in the crime.

His participation as a witness also led prosecutors to recommend the sentence of time served.

However, Colaw said he couldn’t get past Fears’ participation as the driver, stating Fears was “not a young man” when the shooting happened and knew it was a crime to leave the scene.

The judge said he entered the day with the idea of sentencing Fears a term in the “double digits.” But after hearing both both sides argue for a 17-month sentence and hearing Fears’ statement to the court, Colaw said, he decided on a sentence of five years in prison — two years more than the minimum sentence of three years for accessory to first-degree murder.

“(The Fears brothers and Tenbrink) intended to scare, threaten or harm people,” Colaw said. “I am persuaded in part that (a double-digit sentence) is not appropriate. But I just can’t get there.”

As Fears was sentenced, his mother cried. Later, after leaving the courtroom, she collapsed, sobbing, on a bench. Fears showed little emotion as he left the courtroom.

He had hoped, according to his statement to the court, to be released from jail and return to Texas to work in the oil fields, as he had done for the 10 years prior to being arrested.

Fears said he no longer expressed white nationalist views held by Tenbrink and his brother and that his 17 months in the Alachua County jail had changed him. He apologized to the victim in the case and “the entire city of Gainesville.

“This has destroyed my life. It’s time to put this in my past and move forward,” Fears said. “I am not the monster the media has labeled me.”

Instead of being released, he will serve at least three more years in prison.

CARENTAN-LES-MARAIS, France (AP) — Together, the collective age of the bride and groom was nearly 200.

But World War II veteran Harold Terens and his sweetheart Jeanne Swerlin proved that love is eternal as they tied the knot Saturday inland of the D-Day beaches in Normandy, France.

Their respective ages — he’s 100, she’s a youngster of just 96 — made their nuptials an almost double-century celebration.

Terens called it “the best day of my life.”

On her way into the nuptials, the bubbly bride-to-be said:

“It’s not just for young people, love, you know? We get butterflies. And we get a little actionalso.”

The location was the elegant stone-worked town hall of Carentan, a key initial D-Day objective that saw ferocious fighting after the 6 June 1944 Allied landings that helped rid Europe of Adolf Hitler’s tyranny.

Like other towns and villages across the Normandy coast where nearly 160,000 Allied troops came ashore under fire on five code-named beaches, it’s an effervescent hub of remembrance and celebration on the 80th anniversary of the deeds and sacrifices of young men and women that day, festooned with flags and bunting and with veterans feted like rockstars.

As the swing of Glenn Miller and other period tunes rang out on the streets, well-wishers — some in WWII-period clothes — were already lined up a good hour before the wedding, behind barriers outside the town hall, with a rousing pipe and drum band also on hand to serenade the happy couple.

After both declaring “oui” to vows read by Carentan’s mayor in English, the couple exchanged rings.

“With this ring, I thee wed,” Terens said.

She giggled and gasped, “Really?”

With Champagne flutes in hand, they waved through an open window to the adoring crowds outside.

“To everybody’s good health. And to peace in the world and the preservation of democracy all over the world and the end of the war in Ukraine and Gaza,” Terens said as he and his bride then clinked glasses and drank.

The crowd yelled “la mariée!” – the bride! — to Swerlin, who wore a long flowing dress of vibrant pink.

Terens looked dapper in a light blue suit and matching pink kerchief in his breast pocket.

And they enjoyed a very special wedding-night party:

They were invited to the state dinner at the Elysee Palace on Saturday night with President Emmanuel Macron and U.S. President Joe Biden.

“Congratulations to the newlyweds,” Macron said, prompting cheers and a standing ovation from other guests during the toast praising French-American friendship.

“(The town of) Carentan was happy to host your wedding, and us, your wedding dinner,” he told the couple.

The wedding was symbolic, not binding in law.

Mayor Jean-Pierre Lhonneur’s office said he wasn’t empowered to wed foreigners who aren’t residents of Carentan and that the couple, who are both American, hadn’t requested legally binding vows.

However, they could always complete those formalities back in Florida if they wished.

Lhonneur likes to say that Normandy is practically the 51st state of the USA, given its reverence and gratitude for Allied soldiers and the sacrifices of tens of thousands who never made it home from the Battle of Normandy.

“Love is eternal, yes, maybe,” the mayor said, referring to the newlyweds, although his comments also fittingly describe the feelings of many Normans for veterans.

“I hope for them the best happiness together.”

Dressed in a 1940s dress that belonged to her mother, Louise, and a red beret, 73-year-old Jane Ollier was among spectators who waited for a glimpse of the lovebirds.

The couple, both widowed, grew up in New York City: she in Brooklyn, he in the Bronx.

“It’s so touching to get married at that age,” Ollier said. “If it can bring them happiness in the last years of their lives, that’s fantastic.”

The WWII veteran first visited France as a 20-year-old U.S. Army Air Forces corporal shortly after D-Day.

Terens enlisted in 1942 and, after shipping to Britain, was attached to a four-pilot P-47 Thunderbolt fighter unit as their radio repair technician.

On D-Day, Terens helped repair planes returning from France, so they could rejoin the battle.

He said half his company’s pilots died that day.

Terens himself went to France 12 days later, helping transport freshly captured Germans and just-freed American POWs to England.

Following the Nazi surrender in May 1945, Terens again helped transport freed Allied prisoners to England before he shipped back to the U.S. a month later.

Swerlin made it abundantly clear that her new centenarian husband doesn’t lack for rizz.

“He’s the greatest kisser ever, you know?” she proudly declared before they embraced enthusiastically for TV cameras.

“All right ! That’s it for now !” Terens said as he came up for air.

To which she quickly quipped: “You mean there’s more later?”

Moms for Liberty (M4L), a conservative “parents’ rights” organization, has emerged as a visible player in U.S. education politics. Since its founding in 2021, M4L has engaged in local school board politics and elections across the country. Along the way, M4L has attracted plenty of headlines. Most jarringly, an Indiana chapter of M4L was in the news after featuring an Adolf Hitler quote in its newsletter this past June. Despite the resulting negative press, Republican presidential candidates spoke at a national M4L conference just few a days later.

M4L’s quick rise to prominence within the Republican Party has raised questions about how much influence it might have in American politics. Yet, despite the outsized attention the group has garnered in the media, we know little about M4L outside of what its founders have said in public statements and interviews.

To get a better sense of the scale and geography of Moms for Liberty, we collected data on where: 1) M4L chapters are located; 2) M4L has endorsed school board candidates; and 3) M4L-endorsed candidates have won/lost their elections. We find that the geography of Moms for Liberty is complex. While a disproportionately large share of M4L’s members and endorsements are in politically “blue” and “purple” areas (especially suburbs), M4L-endorsed candidates win at higher rates in more conservative parts of the country. And while M4L’s membership has grown quickly in its first three years, its membership pales in comparison to that of the true behemoths in education politics: the teachers’ unions.

Where are Moms for Liberty’s members?

Moms for Liberty is a national organization that oversees dozens of semi-autonomous county chapters. To understand the types of communities where these chapters operate, we collected a list of local M4L chapters from the national M4L Facebook page. We used the number of members in these local chapters’ Facebook groups to obtain county-level estimates of the organization’s membership. Overall, this amounts to about 103,000 members across 278 chapters in 45 states. These numbers are similar to those reported by M4L in May 2023 (115,000 members across 285 chapters in 45 states).

Some have described a looming “clash” between Moms for Liberty and the teachers’ unions. At least with respect to membership numbers, though, the two are not comparable. The country’s two largest teachers’ unions, the National Education Association (NEA) and American Federation of Teachers (AFT), represent almost 5 million members between them. M4L’s numbers are instead more comparable to, say, the Massachusetts Teacher Association, which  represents 117,000 members.

Figure 1 shows where M4L chapters are located, with circle sizes scaled to reflect chapter membership size. By merging our M4L data with county-level 2020 election data from the MIT Election Lab, we can see the types of places, politically, where these chapters operate. Blue circles represent counties where President Biden received at least 55% of the combined Biden-Trump vote total (excluding other vote recipients). Purple circles represent counties where Biden received 45% to 55%. Red circles are where Biden won less than 45% of that combined vote.

While M4L’s politics might lean far to the right, its chapters have arisen in diverse political contexts. Clusters of chapters appear in Florida, the Northeast (from DC to New York), and the Carolinas. Florida, where the organization has its roots and close ties with the DeSantis administration and Florida Republican Party, has the most chapters of any state (28). New York (13,724), Florida (12,465), and Pennsylvania (10,254) have the most members. Interestingly, M4L has only a modest presence in other Republican strongholds in the South, Plains, and Appalachia. Texas, for example, has only a few chapters, and they are mostly in politically moderate or progressive counties.

We can look more closely at the types of places where M4L has chapters by incorporating data from the American Community Survey and Common Core of Data. We focus on local politics, urbanicity, community racial demographics, and rates of demographic change. Table 1 shows where M4L is (and is not) located.

The unweighted columns have the simplest interpretation. They show that almost half of all M4L chapters are in politically conservative “red” counties (45%), with a similar plurality in suburban counties (42%). Most M4L chapters (84%) are in majority-white counties, and most (60%) are in counties that saw at least a five percentage-point decline in their white population between 2011 and 2021.

However, these unweighted estimates can be misleading. A disproportionate share of U.S. counties are lightly populated areas that lean Republican. A better approach could be to weight counties by their population. With these weights, a large county—like Los Angeles County—receives more weight than a low-population county.

Here, the interpretation of results is a little different. The third column in Table 1 shows that most Americans who live in a county with an M4L chapter are in “blue” counties (54%) or “purple” counties (30%). Meanwhile, only 17% of Americans who live in a county with an M4L chapter are in Republican-leaning areas. Most Americans who live in a county with an M4L presence are in suburban areas (56%), with a small share (7%) in rural areas. A disproportionate share are in areas where the white population has been declining—a finding consistent with other work indicating that far-right politics resonate most in places that have experienced the most significant declines in the non-Hispanic white population in recent years.

Determining the causal relationships between these local characteristics and M4L’s presence is beyond the scope of this post (e.g., examining whether demographic changes create the conditions for M4L to start). However, out of curiosity, we ran regression models that use county characteristics to predict whether a county has an M4L chapter.1 The results support the idea that M4L chapters are disproportionately popping up in suburban areas, even controlling for political and demographic characteristics.

Where does Moms for Liberty endorse candidates?

The core of M4L’s work has been its advocacy in local school board politics. This includes endorsing ideologically aligned candidates in hopes of “flipping” boards to be controlled by more politically conservative members. Therefore, our next question is where M4L is most engaged in school board elections.

We obtained a list of M4L endorsements from the national organization’s website. This netted 340 candidates from the 2022 election cycle and another 32 from 2023, amounting to 372 total candidates across 88 counties. (Moms for Liberty has reported that it endorsed over 500 candidates in 2022. We reached out to M4L for a complete list of endorsed candidates—in hopes of understanding this discrepancy—but did not receive a response.)

While the location of M4L chapters gives a sense of where M4L operates, only 26% of counties with M4L chapters had an endorsement listed on the M4L endorsements page. Thus, it’s worth checking if the types of counties with M4L endorsements reflect similar patterns to the types of counties with M4L chapters. And for the most part, they do. Most Americans living in a county where M4L recently endorsed school board candidates live in suburban areas (53%), and most live in blue (54%) or purple (19%) counties.

Where do school board candidates endorsed by Moms for Liberty win?

Maybe it isn’t surprising that Moms for Liberty has a strong presence in politically blue and purple counties. On its website, M4L suggests that it’s looking to serve those who don’t feel well represented by their local leaders: “Are you tired of feeling like you are alone in your concerns for the future of your children? Do you try to speak to community leaders about your concerns and your voice goes unheard?”

Of course, being present in these areas doesn’t necessarily mean that M4L is having success in these areas. At this point, we really don’t know what an M4L endorsement is worth. Financial contributions from M4L could be influential since school board races tend to be lightly funded. However, M4L’s financials remain murky, and there have been reports of complaints from chapter leaders about a lack of funding from the national organization.

Financial contributions aside, an endorsement could have impact if it results in voters paying more attention to M4L-endorsed candidates. School board elections tend to be low-information races in which relatively few people vote. This creates potential for flipping seats, or entire boards, by getting out the vote. Maybe M4L does that by elevating the profile of local school board races among conservatives. On the other hand, M4L could have the opposite effect, especially in more progressive areas. It could elevate the profile of local school board races in ways that turn out votes opposed to its preferred candidates.

With the data available to us, we cannot precisely identify the causal effect of an M4L school board endorsement. We can, however, get a sense of how M4L-endorsed candidates fare in various types of counties.

Using data from local government and news sources, we checked the outcome of each race in which Moms for Liberty endorsed at least one candidate. Overall, 45% of M4L-endorsed candidates in our sample won. Their win rates varied across different types of counties (Figure 2).

School board candidates endorsed by Moms for Liberty won seats at higher rates in politically purple (51%) and red (46%) counties than blue counties (35%). They also won more often in majority-white counties (47%) than minority-white counties (28%), and in suburbs (53%) more than other locales. So, while M4L might have a disproportionate presence in politically progressive and moderate counties, they appear to win at higher rates in red areas relative to blue areas.

So, overall, does Moms for Liberty seem to be helping candidates with its endorsements? It’s hard to say. Typically, we’d expect organizations like M4L to endorse candidates that they’d expect to win anyway to give an impression of significant impact. The fact that M4L endorsed a lot of candidates in politically unfriendly areas suggests that it may not be quite so risk averse. The causal impact of an M4L endorsement is sure to be a topic of future research (à la research on teachers’ union endorsements).

The road ahead

It isn’t often that a new player emerges in the education politics landscape that is being referenced as a potential counterweight to teachers’ unions.

If we measure impact by the noise and controversy an organization stirs up, then M4L’s effect on U.S. education politics is unmistakable. Arguably, no organization has had such a visible presence in local education politics in recent years.

However, whether Moms for Liberty succeeds in transforming school board politics and changing policies remains to be seen. On one hand, engaging at the local level means that even modest outreach can affect elections, and, in turn, governance. Further, even if they are not successful at changing electoral outcomes, they may be effective at placing conservative policies on the agenda through their activity at school board meetings, potentially increasing book bans, curriculum restrictions, and more. On the other hand, Moms for Liberty is such a polarizing organization, with such an extreme set of positions, that its long-term impact remains uncertain.

For those keeping score that’s three women outside of crowd shots; love that for them. That’s the same number of images of guys named George Bush in this thing. I can’t even begin to question why the TEMPORAL COLD WAR RESET is so Earth centric when it’s spending all its time being AMERICA centric, except for yadda-yaddaing over everything that happened after 2004 – which includes warp drive and at least ONE world war, right? I guess I could believe that this is Archer’s splice cut of the History of the Universe which would honestly explain a lot about him. But WHY DOES THE FISH COME BEFORE MULTICELLULAR LIFE

Apologies if someone already did this but I personally needed to know

[alyosiuscreightonward]

In regards to the Jason Aldean situation. Here’s the craziness that goes on in my mind.

Mr Aldean thank you for your appearance here today.

I’m going to parse the minutiae of your current video and your relationship to it.

First, the song itself. After reading the lyrics of the song, and in today’s climate, did you take a pause and consider what the meaning behind the lyrics were and how they would be interpreted by people?

It’s okay, sir. I’ll save you the embarrassment and say it for you, I’m claiming my 5th amendment rights and on the advice of counsel et cetera or are we wrong here today?

Moving on. Of course you had absolutely no knowledge about the location of where the video was filmed and the history of that location is that correct because of your plausible deniability and no one on your team had any knowledge whatsoever about this specific location. Again, we’re not going anywhere and you don’t have to answer or actually say out loud about your 5th amendment rights or infer counsel at this time.

Again moving right along. When you saw the final product of your video, you thought that there was absolutely nothing wrong with it and that you were just going along because of your continued plausible deniability, is that correct?

Again, Mr Aldean, please allow me to continue. We are quite well aware and you are not in the position at this moment to reclaim your time. Please. Don’t speak.

Mirroring your plausible deniability, the researchers have found that most of these clips that are found in the video, are not actually from any particular place in the United States but rather from Toronto, Warsaw and Ukraine, save for one little piece from a previous protest in Detroit that is years old. Now once again, you personally had no idea that this happened and you were just going on just to get along since your team deliberately with no malice or aforethought kept you in the dark about this?

As we continue to move forward, we need to make sure that Macon, Georgia is not considered a small town like Hillsdale, Wyoming; Florida, Massachusetts or Sargent, Texas. Those are all small towns and most likely you could’ve spent a weekend there one night. Unlike the small town of Winnie, Texas where one could possibly be able to find some decent information on how and why in Winnie, Texas not a person of any race beyond being Caucasian is found to be residing there. The unsubstantiated claims of the Klu Klux Klan being there at anytime is just speculation.

As the basis for your appearance here today is firmly entrenched in your 5th Amendment rights and on the advice of counsel, and also in your own lifetime you have been taught to understand that during several periods in history the following statements were taught to you by your parents and teachers that either African Americans and Black Americans had benefited greatly from slavery. Also, in Pompeii the people who were there also had benefited greatly from the lava spewing from Mount Vesuvius. Lastly, in your experience and knowledge about The Holocaust, it was just a small detail that Hitler chose the wrong people but yet had a great idea about how to make it a weekend in the country by killing millions of people.

As I have said previously before there is absolutely nothing you need, or could do or say here today. I’ll just give you every single opportunity not to respond in anyway shape or form.

I’m going out on a limb here and say that you should concur that Covid was perpetrated by The Chinese to target people such as yourself Caucasian and a few others who reside here in The United States. Also the LGBTQ Community is recruiting people to become Gay, Lesbian, Transgender etc as does the Armed Forces who also recruit. Is that your understanding of how this works? Then we can take into account that someone like the venerable Senator John McCain is unworthy of being a decorated member of the United States Army and is a horrible human being for being a Prisoner of War and as a veteran, he and his fellow soldiers have absolutely nothing to complain about and they don’t deserve anything from the government for which they served.

In conclusion, Mr Aldean, sir, you are a multimillionaire and have been around the world and you will just continue to make records and pander to your fans for years to come and are not going to change your mind nor will you ever change anything about yourself and the rest of the world could chime in and say that this is a teachable moment and that you should learn from your mistakes but please continue to espouse your 5th Amendment Rights on the advice of counsel.

I am officially releasing you from this hearing today and please don’t hesitate to remain silent because this will haunt you for years to come. Lastly, please have the life you so justly deserve.

Good Afternoon, Mr Aldean, I bid you peace on your journey.

[its-a-rat-trap]

my huge fixation on the rats has come back again so out of curiosity, what are some of your favorite tracks, and why?

Oh man sorry it took me so long to answer this! It ended up being harder than I thought to narrow down a list of my favorite songs but here’s (some) of my current faves at least!

Lookin’ After No. 1 - A bit of a cliched inclusion but it’s still (imo) the best example of their early punk/post-punk sound, and you can really hear how well Garry and Simon meshed with their playing. Plus I’m an utter sap and it makes me very emotional to think of Bob going from writing “Don’t give me love thy neighbor / Don’t give me charity” to. yknow. putting on the entirety of Live Aid. 

(Also don’t eVEN talk to me about the Music Machine gig, every time I think of Bob singing “Don’t wanna be like you / Don’t wanna live like you / Don’t wanna talk like you at all / I’m gonna be like me” in the face of the neo-nazi skinheads who just punched him in the face I go INSANE)

Joey’s On The Streets Again - Look I know that if we’re picking “Top songs Bob wrote about the Ireland of his childhood” then Rat Trap is understandably always gonna be at the top of the list but consider: Joey is just a better song, especially the last verse of it.

Also the Self Aid Joey performance? SO FUCKING GOOD genuinely my favorite live performance of this song that they’ve ever done

Wind Chill Factor Minus Zero - The lyrics just do it for me. I feel like a lot of people don’t think of Bob Geldof as a great lyricist but he really is and this song is just full of little clever lines like “You start to laugh (No) / You say you’ve won (No) / It’s just I lost (No) / That’s not the same (No)” that just make it SO satisfying to sing!

Also gotta put a shout out to “Real Different” for the same reason, every time I hear Bob sing “I'll fill my pocket full of stones and I'll throw 'em at the light” I just go feral asldkfjals

The Elephant’s Graveyard - You know that quote about (I Never Loved) Eva Braun that describes the song as something like the happiest most upbeat song about Hitler you’ll ever hear? The Elephant’s Graveyard is exactly like that but for police brutality and the Rats fucking made it work. 

Obviously if we’re talking about social justice themes in their songs Mondays and Banana Republic are gonna top the list but listen. Listen. Bob wrote a song specifically about anti-black police brutality in Florida that calls out the double-standards of the US justice system (“Justice isn’t blind / It just looks the other way”), made the campiest beach-themed music video for it, and somehow they completely nailed the combination. 

House on Fire - IT’S JUST A FUCKING BANGER OF A SONG! Seriously between the brass instruments and Bob’s voice it’s just such a fun and funky song, and it’s a great example of the Rats playing around with their sound in their later albums in a way that just works perfectly for them. 

Also it has more good mouth-feel lyrics in it, like the line “Doing halo hula-hoops, executing loop-de-loops / Takes a lot of skill and bad taste” is just sooo satisfying to sing !!!

Trash Glam Baby - Obligatory COB inclusion alksdjfklas I almost went with She Said No instead but they really nailed that old-school rock sound with Trash Glam Baby and I absolutely adore it. I love the little references at the start of the song, I love the reprise at the end, the video absolutely fucks, this was everything I needed from 21st Century Rats and more!

Do The Rat / D.U.N. L.A.O.G.H.A.I.R.E. - Because I couldn’t pick just one, special shout-out to both Do The Rat and D.U.N. L.A.O.G.H.A.I.R.E. for being fantastic b-side tracks! I love that Bob and the rest of the band were having fun fooling around with their releases like this. I love all the puns in Do The Rat, and the little convo at the start of D.U.N. L.A.O.G.H.A.I.R.E. both makes me laugh and makes me a little emotional now that Garry’s gone.

A Spoiltastic Journey

through the Entire Space: 1999 Canon

up to “Odysseus Wept”

Story 1: Eternity Unleashed

Return to Series Preface

Forth to Eternity Unleashed, Chapter 1

Skip to Story 2: The Touch of Venus

WHAT?

"Eternity Unleashed" is the first story in the Powysverse canon of Space: 1999, which unifies and continues the timeline of the 1970s TV series, novels, and novelizations. 

It is the first part of William Latham's original novel, "Eternity Unbound". It is the backstory to the filmed episode "End of Eternity", which I won't link because I'm keeping call forwards to a minimum as I work through the storyline.

According to the author, it's "a brand new novella at the beginning that tells you all about Balor’s rise and fall on Progron".

"He saw a future without pain, without suffering, without end.

​"He unlocked the mysteries of life and death, and united a world, launching a new age.

"Only to find that death was sacred. That life without death led to damnation.

"And salvation would be found in pain and suffering.

​"From the depths of madness, he will change a world, forging a new path leading ultimately to exile in the far reaches of space.

​"Where he will face eternity...alone."

All this is fully consistent with the cheerful tone of Space: 1999 Y1, so we're starting as we mean to go on.

WHEN?

Chronologically, "Eternity Unleashed" takes place "centuries before 'End of Eternity'."

Sequentially, "Eternity Unleashed" is the first story in the Powysverse and the backstory to "End of Eternity" 23 stories later.

"Eternity Unleashed" is the first part of the book "Eternity Unbound", published in February 2005, the joint-third Space: 1999 book published by Powys Media.

WHO?

The novel is written by William Latham. 

Its central character is a guy by the name of Balor, who we'll meet in person when his episode comes up for discussion.

According to Powys: "ETERNITY UNLEASHED chronicles his ascent from outsider to honored scientist, from ruthless despot to imprisoned exile." 

According to the author "There’s a little bit of Napoleon in Balor’s story, I suppose.  A little bit of Hitler."

WHERE?

Balor hails from the planet Progron. Hi to all my Progron readers out there. Represent!

Powys Media are in the USA. I don't know if there are any copyright libraries in the USA that might have it. I searched the Library of Congress and didn't find it there.

As for public libraries, I swear I did a search that turned up one (1) copy in one library somewhere in Florida. However, I can't find it in my history. It's very unlikely that many public libraries will have copies. I assume it turned up in Florida because of proximity to the Space Coast.

The only way to buy the book is on the second-hand market because it is permanently out of print. It is extremely rare because Powys used a print-on-demand service and did not publish ebooks.

WHY?

According to the author: "He’s a fun character to play with, first of all. […] I convinced Mateo [Latosa, head of Powys Media] that it made sense to at least try looking into Balor’s past a little, and those flashbacks were just way more intense than I think we’d been expecting them to be.  There was more of a story there than just the little glimpses we got in 'Resurrection'. Back-story, I mean." 

Also according to the author: "[Mateo Latosa] was interested in seeing the novella from me because I’d never really written any science fiction about a whole new culture or anything like that, and he was curious to see what I might do with it."

And: "I think by the end of The Balor Saga, we’ll know why Balor acts the way he acts, or at least we’ll see the evolution of his particular brand of evil."

HOW?

The author says: "The first story has elements of 'Frankenstein' in it, I suppose, but not really as many as you’d think. There’s something of a love story in there, believe it or not."

About the process, the author says: "Stepping back, I had to take Balor in 'End of Eternity', subtract the influence of a thousand years of isolation from him, and then figure out who he was.  So he needed flavors of who he is in the later stories, but he obviously couldn’t be the same guy.  Then, I needed to map out a beginning, a middle, and an end for the novella, that basically shows Balor coming to power and then losing it so he can be exiled."

The Story So Far

"Eternity Unleashed", book section from original novel "Eternity Unbound", 2005 (Y1)

Spoiler-Filled Analysis

The Bad News

I haven't really got any spoilers, because I don't have the book UPDATE: I got it! Read the chapter-by-chapter commentary, starting here.

The only information I have about the book is what's on the open web. Most of the reviews I could find online give little or nothing away.

Amazon UK has no reviews, but I did find some in other countries, where it is rated 5 out of 5 stars and accompanied by three reviews that praise it highly.

According to this review: "First, a brand new account of Balor of how Balor became who he became - from his childhood on Progron, through adulthood and his progression into a psychopath. And all possibly sparked by being spurned in love…..!"

BUFFY: Every maladjust has a reason.

I generally assume that the Powys books are for an audience of existing Space: 1999 fans who are very familiar with the material. However, this review says "Eternity Unbound" is a standalone novel that can be enjoyed by anyone.

Up Next: The Touch of Venus (story of past events)

I hope to do one post a day, but that isn't always going to be possible.

Hopefully tomorrow, though, we'll move on to the next "story of past events", the portion (pp. 2-42) of John Kenneth Muir's original short story "The Touch of Venus" that takes place before Breakaway was even thought of.

UPDATE: or go to my commentary on Chapter 1 of Eternity Unleashed!

DeSantis Borrows a Page from Hitler - Vows to ‘Destroy Leftists’ When Elected

So, it seems Donald Trump isn't the only Republican candidate for president who spent Memorial Day vowing to crush his political enemies.  While appearing on Fox and Friends, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was asked, “Why is right now the time for Ron DeSantis to run for President?”  The Florida Governor responded by saying, “Because I will serve two terms, and I will destroy leftism in this country.”

Wait - the hateful little bigot who is currently getting his ass kicked by Mickey Mouse said what?  Now, whoa there, Miami Mussolini!  Is it just me, or does this resentful little prick have about as much broad appeal as a bowl of rotten fruit?  He should remember the rest of the country isn’t fucking Florida.  You see, unlike Ponce de Leon, Ron DeSantis isn’t interested in finding Florida’s “Fountain of Youth.”  Instead, he headed straight for the “Fountain of Hate,” and has hopes to bathe the rest of the country in its nasty waters.

I mean, what’s so concerning about a national presidential candidate basically declaring if he’s elected, he will “exterminate” the opposition?  Hell, what’s he going to do, round us all up?”  Don’t answer that!  Why can’t the guy be satisfied with boycotting Bud Light or banning rainbows in Florida?  Of course, in the interest of fair play, I’m sure our Republican friends would have no problem whatsoever if Joe Biden were to declare that after he wins the next election, his goal will be "destroy conservatism.”

Now some may ask, what’s the main difference between DeSantis and Trump?  Well, the difference is it took Trump decades to become the asshole he is today, but DeSantis took a crash course.  DeSantis is a guy so bitter and hateful that when he looks in the mirror - even his own reflection hates him.  I mean, nothing says “I will heal this fractured nation” quite like “I’m gonna destroy all of you liberal fuckers.”  Hell, Biden recently said, “There's no place for anti-Semitism in America,” and Lauren Boebert called that “an attack against conservatives."  

So, perhaps GOP voters might wanna “think twice” before voting to “destroy leftism in this country” - because that would mean ending social security, medicare, decent wages, women’s rights, the five-day work week, the eight-hour day, child labor laws, any shot at affordable healthcare, environmental protections, and a host of other benefits Americans have come to rely on.  All of which are “leftist” programs.  Unfortunately, “thinking twice” has never been a top Republican voter priority.
