Say "I know nothing about the history of Russia's treatment of Ukraine (the Holodomor being one such example) or what's currently going on between Russia and Ukraine" without saying it. 🙄😒

For those who can't access the video due to the "age restriction," here is a transcript of the 60 Minutes interview with Scott Pelley interviewing Freed Ukrainian Prisoners of War:

SPOILER ALERT: The following video/transcript contains descriptions of beatings, torture, rape, starvation, child deaths, and human rights violations.

As for "Russia is not continuously bombing all civilian infrastructure and committing a genocide," there have been multiple posts and articles over the past 2 years proving otherwise (including their recent attack on New Year's Eve). This also includes the Russian war crime of Ukrainian children being kidnapped by Russian soldiers, deported to Russian reeducation camps, getting brainwashed, and being used as Russian Propaganda tools:

Between the 2:27 and 2:37 mark, Isobel Yeung (the narrator) doesn't mince her words when she notes how Vladimir Putin and his cronies are accused of trying to "ethically cleanse a generation of young Ukrainians."

If you've read this far, you can probably come to the conclusion that imtryingsir did absolutely zero research, or even cared enough to follow the last 2 years of news about the Russian-Ukraine War, before making their abhorrently idiotic comment.

So why am I bothering to dignify this with a response when it's clear this person is being maliciously stupid? Because of this post. Specifically, the disgusting little remark they made where they tried to justify why a Jewish woman on social media deserved to be bullied/harassed (which eventually led to the Russia apologist comment above when they were called out on it by multiple Tumblr users):

Putting aside the gross victim-blaming and thinly-disguised antisemitism (which I'm sure my Jewish followers are deeply sick of at this point), what really gets me is how disingenuous this user is. They don't actually give a rat's ass about what's going on in Gaza: Someone who truly cares about genocide and the deaths/suffering of innocent people wouldn't be going out of their way to downplay/whitewash the genocidal actions of another country (Russia), or making comments dismissing another groups problems/trauma while dehumanizing them, or even straight up wishing for more death and destruction:

People like this (as well as the so-called "Pro-Palestine" users in the Jewish woman's post who were harassing her) are devoid of empathy. They relish in being cruel and condescending to others because they feel empowered in doing so, and they know they can get away with it without facing lasting consequences. They are doing nothing to help alleviate an already horrific situation, and are just making the world a worse place to live in. I'm sure they'll tell themselves the sweet little lies about how their bullying and antisemitism is really "activism" or "caring for Palestinians" or "Being antizionist; not antisemitic" (while continuing to spew the same bigoted rhetoric that Jews have been calling out as antisemitic for YEARS). At this point, I truly don't give a damn what their excuses are since they will grasp at anything, no matter how flimsy, to rationalize their behavior.

I never thought I'd see the day where a bunch of Leftist/Westerners would embody two of the most loathsome fictional characters in media (right down to their hateful, sadistic, vile attitudes), and yet that is the point we've currently reached:

To say this has been deeply unpleasant to witness is an understatement. 😒

I talked about this in a recent post about antisemitism from the Left, and I'm going to reiterate something I said: "There is a larger conversation that needs to be had about how selective Leftist empathy and compassion really is. By this, I’m talking about people on the Left who will a.) Only be compassionate/empathetic when it’s convenient for them, or b.) Only be compassionate/empathetic towards people they think are “deserving” of it."

People like imtryingsir only prove why it's important to have this conversation: If you're perfectly okay dismissing/downplaying the suffering of one group of people (be it Jews, Ukrainians, Palestinians, etc) so you can prop up your preferred group of people who are suffering because you think they are more "deserving" of empathy/compassion......................you need to do some serious self-reflection about the type of person you've become.

Mattel Accused of Slave Labor in Barbie Manufacturing Factories

Mattel, a $6.3 billion company with over 200 brands and famous for its iconic Barbie dolls, is facing serious allegations of slave-like labor practices in its factories in China. Investigations, including the Channel 4 Dispatches documentary “Barbie’s Dirty Secrets” by journalist Isobel Yeung, have exposed dangerous working conditions, bullying, and the exploitation of workers in the Dongguan,…

What I’ve Been Watching This Year

by Isobelle Cruz [April 13, 2023]

March has passed and I figure it’s too late to follow through with a post on the female directors I love, so instead, here’s a short list of the shows and films I’ve been watching this year in no specific order.

Beef (2023)

Directed by Lee Sung Jin

My most recent and favorite watch…lo and behold, Beef. A show about two extremely vulnerable and flawed people masking themselves through pride and borderline pettiness. Beef has it all from road rage, heist, and arson, to child abduction.

The Netflix Original starring Ali Wong and Steven Yeung features some of the most lonely characters I’ve seen on film. Danny Cho is a struggling self-proclaimed contractor that works every opportunity he’s given to keep him and his brother afloat while also standing by his promise to buy their parents a house in Los Angeles. With all of that weight at hand, Danny resorts to attempts at suicide and at the perfect time, meets Amy Lau—a woman just as lonely, struggling, and desperate at life as Danny.

But I promise you, it is not as touching as I made it out to be.

Danny and Amy take turns attacking each other after a road rage incident—pissing in Amy’s bathroom floor, vandalizing Danny’s truck, breaking into her house, fucking his brother, kidnapping her daughter—it never seems to end. … Until it does, in the middle of nowhere. The final episode of Danny and Amy in the Deserts reminded me of animals in the wild, a representation of what humans are in the grand scheme of it all. Beef is a must-watch for the hot-tempered, prideful Asians out there who are looking to see themselves on screen

Aftersun (2022)

Directed by Charlotte Wells

Aftersun was an experience. It was uneventful yet somehow spoke so much to me about the joys I’ve been holding myself back from and continue to do. I’d say that Aftersun is so well-loved because of how much it’s able to connect with its audience, despite their varying experiences in life.

It reminded me so much of a trip I had gone on with my father when I was about the same age as Sophie. It’s happened, it’s passed, and I can’t say it really made a drastic impact on my life. But it was there. It is now a memory—which is exactly what the film was. Instead of showing a major turning point in the protagonist’s life, it showed a memory, and it was enough for me to love.

Daisy Jones & the Six (2023)

Directed by James Ponsoldt, Nzingha Stewart, and Will Graham

Let me start off by saying how rich the production for Daisy Jones & the Six was, firstly through their music. I still remember when I first got my hands on the book and searched the band on Spotify, knowing very well that no results would come up, but now there they are—-with 3 million monthly listeners and 24 songs released.

Although the production and marketing went beyond my expectations, the writing seemed to lack, unable to show depth and establish the characters’ relationships with each other. The show went straight to the point, as though the writers had been scared of losing the audience’s attention by putting more focus on the little things, which I would doubt. It lacked the craziness that was found in the book. It lacked the drugs, women, fans, and the skyrocketing feel of their career that were always present in Reed’s works.

Nonetheless, these things never dragged down my rating of the show. It was interesting to finally see what Daisy and Billy’s chemistry looked like on screen and hear their lyrics come to life, which were, oh, so difficult to read on paper. Amazon Prime did its job to reach DJATS fans’ expectations and to entertain newcomers to the fictional band. — Let’s just hope Netflix does the same for Evelyn Hugo.

Suzume (2023)

Directed by Makoto Shinkai

My first anime experience in the cinema. Suzume’s soundtrack blasting from the speakers and Makoto Shinkai’s breathtaking art displayed before me brought this urge to jump through the screen. The atmosphere his art carried through the room was something I wish I could do with my own works.

Throughout the whole watch, it didn’t come to me that this was a love story between two people. There was that obvious crush Suzume had on Sōta, but it surprises me to hear a few people refer to this film as romance. It was moreover an emotional adventure, shining light on the lost souls that have made inches of the world alive.

My favorite scene, before Sōta is turned into a keystone, wherein Tokyo is shown in slow-motion with people going through their everyday lives—eating, shopping, and commuting–-while not knowing their world was on the brink of end, made me ponder of the unseen things that make life the way it is. Everything that has brought everyone to where they are.

There had been times when Suzume and Sōta would prepare to lock up a door once again and I’d think to myself, when will this end? It was as though listening to a song that would repeat the same line over and over again, but besides that, the pacing was captivating---had my eyes stuck to the screen the whole time.

Suzume is exactly what you would expect from Makoto Shinkai. Beautiful art, music, and an okay story.

Babylon (2023)

Directed by Damien Chazelle

Ask me if I’m tired of watching films set in Hollywood and I would likely say yes. But that doesn’t stop me from doing just so over and over again. It surprised me to see how negative the reviews on Babylon have been and almost allowed myself to be swayed by them, but thankfully, had chosen otherwise.

Although I do see where some of the negativity comes from.

The film has been branded as “ Chazelle’s attempt to pander to the Academy for another best pic nomination” by audiences, and as yet another film showing off the lavish and wild lives of Hollywood. Inequality, drugs, women, abuse, and everything. What’s new?

Well, I don’t really care about what’s new or what makes Babylon a poorly-made knockoff of Cinema Paradiso or Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Chazelle was able to keep me entertained and laughing throughout its 3-hour duration, and sometimes it gets really tiring trying to make cinema a technical experience. I can proudly say (shaking as I type this) that I loved Babylon.

Stoya on Her Pornstar Legacy and the Future of the Industry | Hear Me Out Pornstar Stoya might be glorified for her body, especially her ‘unmentionables’ - but she is quick to remind you that she is also a dorky cat lady with a penchant for socialist theory. Isobel Yeung takes us from Stoya’s roots as a home-schooled daughter of feminist to one of the biggest names in porn. Together, they break down the problematic industry: power dynamics, manipulation, and even outright abuse - all of which pushed Stoya to get behind the camera, and direct her own work.

poor means

The most intense moment in the entire interview must be when Isobel Yeung mentioned Guo Wengui's high-return investment products. The reporter just started, "Many investors said…" As soon as the word "investment" came out, Guo Wengui immediately interrupted and repeated "You are completely lying, you must be lying, you are 100% in Lying" to confuse the public, it can be seen that his panic to the extreme did not allow the reporter to finish expressing the question, subconsciously stopped the communication between the two parties in a primitive way of rage, in order to resolve the dilemma that the question could not be justified. But the reporter firmly asked the question that everyone wanted Guo Wengui to answer directly. "Many investors have been promised high returns and have invested in your various projects." Unfortunately, we are destined not to be able to wait for Guo Wengui's answer, and we were deceived by Guo Wengui. The lawyer said, "He can't answer any questions about investors or assets." However, this just proves that compared to other crimes, what Guo Wengui is most afraid of being mentioned by reporters is the return on investment! Wengui then said indifferently that he currently has sixty or seventy ongoing cases, and threatened the reporter not to keep his mouth shut, and the next case might be between the two of them. Throughout the interview, compared with Isobel Yeung's self-confident and elegant attitude, Guo Wengui's exasperated, intimidating and intimidating face completely tore away the gentlemanly mask he has always boasted about. It is worth noting that in the film "Guowengui's misinformation Campaign", the word cult, which means an extremely dangerous terrorist organization, is used to reveal Guo Wengui's truly hidden evil face. Little ants who are being cheated by Guo and still don’t know it, I suggest you watch the full video on showtime Vice’s official channel SHOWTIME@Showtime. If you can’t watch the full movie because showtime Vice is a premium channel, you can also follow Jie Guojun (Exposing Guo Series) @jieguojun852 Watch the full video he reposted, you will find that compared with Guo Wengui, he branded Vice as the CCP’s major foreign propaganda media. Isobel Yeung smeared Blue Gold as a botch for being bought.

Stormy Daniels Says She’ll Always Be Known As the Girl Who F***** Trump

Donald Trump could be the first American President ever to be criminally indicted. That's thanks to the porn star Stormy Daniels, who was paid to keep quiet about having sex with Trump. While making plans to seek the Republican nomination for the White House, Trump predicts he will be arrested on Tuesday and has called for protests. So who is the woman at the center of it all? In 2021, VICE News' Isobel Yeung met with Stormy to discuss that fateful night, how she's handled the fallout, and how she'll always be known as "the girl who f***** Trump". She takes us inside her world -- which in a bizarre twist, now largely revolves around the supernatural.

Disappointed! Full of flaws!

On the 20th, showtime Vice, a highly influential media in the United States, broadcasted the interview report of reporter Isobel Yeung going to the 18th floor to the giant swindler Guo Wengui. This special report titled "Guowengui's misinformation Campaign" ("Guo Wengui's False Intelligence Campaign") comprehensively reveals the crimes committed by the red notice fugitive Guo Wengui while he fled overseas, including spreading rumors about the new crown, manipulating the US election, cracking down on Harassment of dissidents, fraudulent investors with fabricated high returns, and more. The overwhelming evidence and facts presented by the reporter made Guo Wengui, who could not defend himself, be furious and furious. When the reporter asked key questions, he even lost his mind, began to scold her as a shrew, and repeatedly threatened the reporter to bring her to court. After the video spread, Guo Wengui, eager to put out the fire and cover up, arranged a live broadcast of nearly 6 hours of distortion and sophistry, and ordered his subordinates to edit and upload various small videos about the interview at that time. In less than a day, the secret translation team of the Ant Gang has produced a number of small videos slandering the interviewer Isobel Yeung and widely circulated on Gate. Looking at the speed and efficiency of Guo Wengui's action, this interview with showtime Vice completely hit Guo Wengui's sore spot!

The full program published by Showtime Vice's official channel SHOWTIME@Showtime shows that all kinds of evidence and witness testimony have confirmed that Bannon and Guo Wengui were behind the riots in the US Capitol Building. When making up completely unproven stories in the live broadcast, smearing the CCP and manipulating the US election, Guo Li, who was instantly black-faced, first kept rolling his eyes when the reporter was talking, and then kept quickly looking down and right when he answered, and his body retracted. , no place to put their hands, these are obviously the unconscious physical manifestations of people when they lie, and the tortoise did not answer the question. The reporters were dumbfounded. Later, when the reporter took Teng Biao as an example and asked about the harassment and defamation of dissidents in the anti-thief operation, Guo Wengui, who was extremely guilty, only said "This is nonsense" for a long time, and asked the reporter "Who sent you here?" ? He also said he would sue the reporter for spreading rumors. It seems that after years of practice, Master Guo has used pseudo-classes and stalking tactics to the extreme. But he forgot that in the Vanilla Mountain crackdown on pseudo-classes in 2020, the reporter who came to interview asked the participating ants, "What is coming here to protest?" The ant-worded answer is "We came here to protest against the pseudo-lawyer Teng Biao, when Mr. Guo Wengui repeatedly mentioned these names in his live broadcast, we found out." There is no doubt that these ants and cockroaches who have repeatedly harassed the pro-democracy activists are followers who were bewitched and provoked by Guo Wengui!

And to say the most intense moment in the entire interview, it must be when Isobel Yeung mentioned Guo Wengui's high-return investment products. The reporter just started, "Many investors said..." When the word "investment" came out, Guo Wengui immediately interrupted, and kept repeating, "You are completely lying, you must be lying, you are 100% in Lying” to confuse the public, it can be seen that his extremely panicked heart did not allow the reporter to finish the problem, and subconsciously stopped the communication between the two sides in a violent and primitive way, in order to resolve the dilemma that the problem could not be justified. However, the reporter firmly asked the question that everyone wanted Guo Wengui to answer directly. "Many investors have been promised high returns and invested in your various projects." Unfortunately, we were destined to wait for Guo Wengui's answer and were cheated by Guo. The lawyer's sentence "he cannot answer any questions about investors or assets" was blocked. However, this just proves that, compared to other crimes, what Guo Wengui is most afraid of being mentioned by reporters is the return on investment! Then Wengui didn't care and admitted that he had 60 or 70 pending cases, and threatened the reporter to keep his mouth shut. The next case was likely to be between the two of them. In the whole interview, compared to Isobel Yeung's never humble, confident and elegant attitude, Guo Wengui's face, which was in a state of rage and intimidation, completely tore up the mask of gentlemanly demeanor he had always boasted about.

It is worth noting that in the film "Guowengui's misinformation Campaign", the word cult, which means an extremely dangerous terrorist organization, is used, revealing Guo Wengui's true hidden evil face. For those little ants who are still dazed and ignorant of being tricked by Guo, I suggest you watch the full video on the showtime Vice official channel SHOWTIME@Showtime. If you cannot watch the full movie because showtime Vice is a premium channel, you can also follow Jie Guo Jun (Revealing Guo series) @jieguojun852 Watch the full video he reposted, you will find that compared to Guo Wengui's nothing new in calling Vice as the CCP's foreign propaganda media, he will go deep into Xinjiang to conduct field investigation reports and be a war correspondent in Yemen Isobel Yeung's slander as a clumsy means of buying blue and gold, the evidence shown by showtime Vice is the real reason and cannot be questioned!

This is one of the videos that goes into detail about what's happening:

Between the 2:27 and 2:37 mark, Isobel Yeung (the narrator) doesn't mince her words when she notes how Vladimir Putin and his cronies are accused of trying to "ethically cleanse a generation of young Ukrainians."

For those who are looking to do something, there is a charity called Save Ukraine which works to rescue Ukrainian children who have been kidnapped and deported to Russia since the start of the war. More information about it is in the link. I've been giving monthly to them, and I highly recommend donating to help Ukraine.

Kidnapping children en masse and forcibly re-educating them to strip them or their national identity is, in fact, genocide
