Yep, that’s the crickets chirping in the background…
Holy cow, we missed the Oscars! No, not Oscar Werner and Oscar Bonavena. I mean The Oscars, from Hollywood. They held it just five days ago.
Well, all right, I did notice one headline: the award for Best Costume Design was presented by a nudist. In uniform, as it were. I don’t know anyone who has any idea why they did that.
The long, drawn-out suicide of the movie industry continues…
Common sense is a thing of the past, and logic died a long time ago. Do they even wonder why people are abandoning them wholesale?
Trump put out a very sarcastic, comical tweet about Jimmy Kimmel being a boring host and how the Oscars have become a joke that no one watches any more. Then Kimmel opened the Oscars by reading Trump’s tweet and the audience all laughed hysterically – a perfect picture of what ninnies look like. And the movie, “Oppenheimer,” won best picture that is a complete lie – he was a communist spy.
I didn’t bother with Oppenheimer (the movie) because I had a strong suspicion that they would turn it into absolute fallacy.
Anyone as popular as Oppenheimer is with the Left… can’t be worth much.
It’s hard to know where the truth lies, when it comes to him. From the moment of the Trinity test, he was starting to think in terms of arms limitations. That doesn’t make him a traitor, but he seemed to be aligned with the thinking of the Far Left, and I have to wonder if his idealism conflicted with his loyalty. When working with classified materials, so much as a trip to a border town in Mexico has to be reported and “foreign influence” is watched very carefully. To clarify, I am not suggesting that Oppenheimer ever leaked classified information, but there is no doubt in my mind that he was watched carefully. Eventually, he lost his clearance, and I’m not surprised. Even if there was no fire to go along with the smoke, there seemed to be a lot of smoke.
In interviews that I’ve seen, Oppenheimer came across as very intellectual and highly concerned with the philosophical implications of the work he had done. I can’t fault him; his work developed a weapon of unimaginable power, and many deaths were attributed to it. I can’t imagine anyone not being profoundly impacted by having been in his position as a weapons developer.
He opposed the development of the fission/fusion hydrogen bomb, and perhaps the greatest question in my mind is whether his opposition to eroded his loyalty. A security clearance presents a boundary that can never be crossed, and I would never hasten to accuse someone of disloyalty, unless there was incontrovertible proof. I know what my reaction would be to such an accusation, and it wouldn’t be pleasant.
But, even before the Manhattan Project, Oppenheimer was a bit of a mystery. He apparently preferred to live only in the world of theory, and was not gifted at experimental physics. From what I’ve heard, he was odd man out, even before being chosen for this project, but Groves trusted him, and Oppenheimer delivered.
Ancient Israel fell to the worship of Baal, but I fear that America has begun to worship stupidity.
Stupidity is the heart and soul of democracy!
