"Donald Trump Is The Antichrist: Prepare For The Rapture!" Revised Chick Tract Parody

Troy Davis writes:

This is the latest revision of the "Trump Is The Antichrist" series of Chick tract parodies (previous versions here). Notes and links after the tract.

Notes: This comic book is part of a rich tradition of Chick tract parodies . . . On the cover, the font of "Antichrist" is based on a font by Charles Burns . . . On page one, the title, "Unquestioned Lord and Master of the World" is from the episode of The Simpsons "Treehouse of Horror V" (the segment about Homer time-travelling and discovers a horrible alternate present in which Flanders controls everone . . . The second panel on page one is based on a very bizarre fundamentalist pamphlet I got in the New York subway (part of it is below and the tract is in The Museum of Weird and Demented Religious Tracts) . . . The man with "Trump 666" stamped on his forehead is an homage to an illustration by Daniel Clowes in "The Apocalypse" in BLAB! #4 . .  . Page two: here's a good article about the scary Christ Fellowship  that Marco Rubio attends . . . Page four: Here is the link to the Scores stripper club in the now-defunct Trump Taj Mahal; the web page reads that it is "Unexpected," "Uninhibited," and "Unparalleled" see below . . . Page four: Regarding Trump's daughter Ivanka; here's an article about the creepy things Trump said about her. , , Kudos to Pocho for linking to this comic.

Notes about the latest edition by Troy Davis: It was long past due to revise this tract. The previous versions were made before Trump became president (and before the Trump Taj Mahal Casino went out of business). I also wanted to change the front cover, remaking Trump in the image of Baphomet (on the cover, Trump is doing a double "Shocker" gesture) .  . . I also wanted to change the Trump images to reflect his obesity, giving the Trump images inside the tract Trump's trademark neck vagina . . . I also wanted to give a shout-out to CultJam's Draft Bobby Jindal for President 2020 campaign.

A Compromise Proposal Regarding Alex Jones and the Sandy Hook Parents: An Open Letter to George Noory

By Troy Davis of  Les Zazous Postmodern Art Gallery and The Museum of Weird and Demented Religious Tracts   @ZazousLes  @WeirdTracts

Dear Mr. Noory,

We live in perilous times. An exhaustive discussion of those perils is impossible but this letter addresses one of those perils you helped to create.

The Rise of Alex Jones: The Global Village Idiot

Alex Jones is a crackpot, a grifter, or a combination of the two. He is the epitome of the Village Idiot Archetype.  His Sandy Hook Trutherism closes the case on the previous two sentences. In an interview with you, Jones pointed out that before he was a guest on Coast to Coast AM, his audience was in the thousands. As a consequence of the media exposure that your radio program provided, Jones now has a fan base in the millions. You helped to turn a village idiot into, to borrow the terminology of Marshall McLuhan, a Global Village Idiot with a worldwide following of village idiots; Jones’ media empire also turns below-average intelligence mooks into paranoid, conspiracy-mongering mooks. Is that a record to honor?

I am part of the Adjunct College Instruction Sweatshop Complex; if I were to receive a term paper from an undergraduate student that puts forth one of Jones’ nutjob theories (e.g., 9/11 Trutherism), I would do the following: 1) administratively withdraw the student; 2) contact the counseling department of the college; 3) and write a full and detailed report of the incident to the department chair and the appropriate administrative staff.

Recently you interviewed Jones and he denied that he was a Sandy Hook Truther. The evidence is overwhelming that this is not the case. Jones referred to the Sandy Hook massacre a “hoax,” and a “fraud” numerous times; Jones claimed that before TV interviews, Sandy Hook parents were laughing, and then “hyperventilated” in order to appear grief-stricken before the cameras. As a consequence, the Sandy Hook parents have faced harassment from Jones’ addlebrained following; one couple had to move seven times because of the hounding. A minimum of research would have uncovered those and numerous other facts about Jones’ repellent statements. The parents deserved better.

An Alex Jones/ Sandy Hook Truce: A Modest Proposal

Commentator John Oliver noted the outrageously high markups on the nutritional supplements sold on the Infowars website (quick aside: who the

f--- except an Infowars fan buys expensive nutritional supplements from a 45-year-old man who looks like he’s pushing 60?).  Jim Hoft of the Gateway Pundit website recently reported* that purchasers of Infowars merchandise were dying at an extremely high rate, one that vastly exceeded replacement numbers (Hoft’s report pointed out that the last words of  43 percent of those Infowars devotees were “Hey, check this out! I seen [sic] this done on a Road Runner cartoon!”).

I propose a truce. Because of large percentage of Jones’ consumer base’s early demise due to Darwin Awards-type activities, my idea is that in exchange for Jones ceasing his harangues against the Sandy Hook parents, I could organize millions of sane people to bite the bullet and become subscribers to the Infowars Store and buy Jones’ stuff at high markups. For instance, currently I buy organic coffee beans at Kroger for $6.00 a pound (Kroger regularly mails me coupons so about half the time, I pay $4.50 a pound).  I am willing to do my part and become a subscriber to the Infowars Store’s Patriot Blend 100% Organic Coffee (subscriber cost is $16.16 a pound; one-time cost is $17.95) if it means that the Sandy Hook parents are left alone to mourn in peace.  Could use your radio show to publicize the compromise? One final thought: Don’t get me started on frequent Coast To Coast AM guest and former Infowars correspondent Jerome Corsi and what he and Roger Stone did to Seth Rich’s parents.

Sincerely,

Troy Davis

*No. Hoft has said a lot of stupid things in his life but he didn’t say these things.  To quote Hustler’s Jerry Falwell Campari ad parody; that part of the letter is “not to be taken seriously.”

Someone is profiting off of our "Satan's Spiritual Structure" Meme

Troy Davis writes:

Satan's Spiritual Structure (AKA "Doorways to Demonic Possession) is a meme that emerged when our promotional Chick tract parody for the film Ivy League Exorcist: The Bobby Jindal Story was recontextualized without context (an article on this phenomenon by me is here). Anyhow, an ambitious entrepreneur is marketing a t-shirt with the image. Do we get a cut?

Dinesh D'Souza Pwned on Twitter!

Today Dinesh D'Souza denigrated someone on Twitter and it resulted in a follower bonanza for the D'Souza critic. Aditi Nadkarni responded to a Roland Scahill tweet and Nadkarni responded with harsh words for Indian immigrants who adopted hard right political stances:

D'Souza's response was to belittle Nadkarni for having 62 followers: 

CultJam Productions then got into the act, explaining how we now followed her and made a parting shot to D'Souza's Lost Cause publisher Regnery Publishing: 

As a consequence, Scahill and many others follower suit. As I post this at around 3:30 PST, Nadkarni has over 800 followers. Sometimes the good guys win. Make it the victory bigger by following her here.

Crappy Art but Good Message about Operation Red Sea (Chinese Propaganda)

Troy Davis writes: 

I was on Twitter tweeting for CultJam Productions (@cultjampro) and I needed an image for a tweet on the Chinese propaganda film Operation Red Sea. In five minutes, I have this detourned Operation Red Sea movie poster that shows Tank Man of Tiananmen Square as the real hero of China. Yes, this artwork is ugly, on the nose, and hasty but it does the trick.

CultJam's Review of Dinesh D'Souza's The Big Lie

The review originally appeared on Amazon.com but was removed by Amazon.com

By Troy Davis

This book is a revealing look at the Age of Trump but not for the reasons intended by the author. Some might be tempted to see this absurd book put out by a neo-Confederate publisher that defends the Trump administration and the alt-right movement by accusing Trump’s opponents of being the real fascists as an example of subconscious psychological projection; this would be a dangerous error. Rather, it is an example of the tactic popularized by Karl Rove of preemptively accusing one’s enemy of possessing one’s own flaw. This is a strategy developed by Roy Cohn, Joe McCarthy’s brain, who later went on to become Donald Trump’s mentor. This book isn’t the product of an addlebrained crank in denial; it is carefully-crafted propaganda. To no surprise, D'Souza recently advised white nationalists Steve Bannon and Sebastian Gorka at the White House about cynical strategies to tar the Left as the real racists. Much of D’Souza’s book seems to be cribbed from another work of pseudo-scholarship, Jonah Goldberg’s Liberal Fascism (no big surprise; D'Souza's book and film Hillary's America are essentially a rehash of Ann Coulter's book Mugged). Space prevents a full examination of D’Souza’s twisting of facts and logic.

It’s difficult to determine where to start with this mess of a book. If D’Souza’s premise were true, history books would need to be re-written. There’s no need to re-write the history book because if this book were the work of a naïve first-year graduate student and it were submitted for peer review, it would be laughed out of the room. However, there’s nothing to laugh about D’Souza or his book because it’s a product of cynicism, venality, and the desire to deceive: it’s a book version of the schoolyard taunt “I know you are but what am I?”

This book is an extension of D’Souza’s previous book and film Hillary’s America: the Secret History of the Democratic Party which misleadingly used historical data to claim that contemporary Democratic progressives are the real racists. I reviewed the film on CultJam Productions' blog and noted the irony that D’Souza used the egregious publisher Regnery as a vehicle for the book version of his taunts. Regnery Publishing is the most prominent publisher of Lost Cause propaganda: the view that sadistic slavocrats like Nathan Bedford Forrest were proper Southern gentleman and that slavery was paternalistic and benign.

One important historical fact that D’Souza conveniently fails to note in both The Big Lie and Hillary’s America is that over time political movements change. Yes, 155 years ago, the Democrats were the Party of Slavery (at least the Southern wing) and the GOP was the Party of Lincoln. In the 21st century, the Democrats are the party supported by racial minorities and the GOP is the party of the Lost Cause.  Why? Because from 1964 to the mid-1980’s there was a massive flow of Southern anti-civil rights Democrats to the GOP: e.g, Strom, Jesse Helms, D’Souza’s mentor Jerry Falwell, Trent Lott, and Haley Barbour. Southern anti-civil rights Democrats either repudiated their racism (e.g., Robert Byrd) or died out. Since the 1980’s, anti-civil rights Southerners generally went directly into the GOP (e.g., Steve Scalise and Paul Broun). I exposed the deceptive methodology D’Souza employed to attempt to deny this fact in my review of Hillary’s America.

This is relevant because in The Big Lie, D’Souza attempts to blame contemporary progressives for Andrew Jackson's crimes against humanity.  Jackson was a Southern populist and a slavocrat. There no longer exists a Jackson wing of the Democratic Party. Contemporary Democrats are repulsed by Jackson. There is, however, a huge Jackson wing of the Republican Party. In fact, it was Donald Trump who put a portrait of Jackson in the Oval Office. Andrew Jackson has been adopted by Trump and the alt-right.

Many of D’Souza’s charges appear to be damning of progressives but when put into historical context and shown alongside the behavior and words of prominent members of the right (something D’Souza consistently fails to do for good reason), then the truth emerges. Let’s address how selective D’Souza is in his discussion of eugenics. He notes correctly that Margaret Sanger and some noted progressives were promoters of eugenics in the early 20th century. However, what D’Souza fails to note is that when it came to eugenics, the most prominent voices were the social Darwinist and foreign policy imperialists of the political Right that dominated the Republican Party. The Republicans behind immigration restriction in the 1920's used eugenic arguments.  D'Souza also conveniently fails to note that it was progressives (e.g., Lester Ward) who became the biggest opponents of both social Darwinism and eugenics. Most important, those vestiges of eugenics that remain exist in the enclaves of alt-right thinking and with racial theorists on the right such as Charles Murray.

D’Souza cites the right-wing British tabloid The Daily Mail to deceptively attempt to portray JFK as a Nazi sympathizer. The paragraph In The Big Lie on JFK selectively excluded remarks from his World War II diary that indicate that Kennedy viewed Hitler as an evil tyrant.  D’Souza’s intellectual dishonesty is reminiscent of the hack work of his friend and colleague James O’Keefe.

D’Souza nauseatingly panders to alt-rightists with his race-baiting. For instance, D’Souza includes Trayvon Martin in a list of  “thugs and criminals.” Martin had no violent criminal history. The worst that could be said of his confrontation with George Zimmerman is that he responded to a creepy white guy who was stalking him while he was minding his own business on his way to an athletic event. Apparently, D’Souza thinks that a white lie means smearing a nonwhite dead kid while writing for a white supremacist publisher.

History repeats itself. When Goldberg came out with Liberal Fascism, some plucky bloggers and journalist pointed out that National Review, the political journal that Goldberg edited, actually glorified real fascists. NR eulogized Franco with a fulsome obituary. NR editor Jeffrey Hart, D’Souza’s mentor at Dartmouth, wrote a paean to Mussolini in the 1980’s. As D’Souza’s mentor at Dartmouth, Hart encouraged D’Souza and the other staffers at the right-wing student newspaper to become snotty, racist, and lame proto-alt-rightists.

D’Souza conveniently ignores the current pro-Trump Nazi and fascist movement. Let’s hypothesize D’Souza’s absurd premise that the white supremacist, proto-fascist, and eugenic movements of the late 19th and early 20th century were primarily phenomena of the Democratic Left, there is a question about the current situation that D’Souza sidesteps and obscures: Where does one go to find white supremacy, fascism, and eugenics in contemporary America? The answer both in leadership and in the grass roots is the Republican Right. Trump invited a Camp of the Saints fanboy Steve Bannon into the Oval Office as his political strategist. Bannon is a practitioner of the dark art of looking for political support from Pepe-loving white supremacists and under every online rock for racist and misogynistic gamers (for a thorough look at the revolting story of Bannon's exploitation of these lowlife gamerboys, read Joshua Green’s new book Devil’s Bargain: Steve Bannon, Donald Trump, and the Storming of the Presidency) Trump also has “Dr.” Sebastian Gorka, an alt-right Nazi sympathizer and other alt-right figures in the White House.

Regarding the GOP grassroots, it’s just as clear-cut. It isn't just the proud fascists who shout Nazi cant like “lugenpresse” and “Hail Trump” and the aforementioned 4chan trolls who are part of the Trumpian right; the neo-Confederate movement is also an integral part of this witch's brew of hate.. D’Souza’s publisher Regnery is not only on the forefront of neo-Confederate thought but Regnery heir William Regnery II is the money man behind the white supremacist movement. If one looks at the response to the removal of Confederate statues, the posters on Democratic Underground are almost 100 percent in favor and the posters on the right-wing Free Republic are about 95 percent opposed.

One notable irony of The Big Lie is that in the photograph section of the book, D'Souza includes the infamous 1863 photo of a slave named Gordon with extensive scarring on his back. D'Souza used it to underscore the inhumanity of Southern Democrats. Another Regnery author Clint Johnson cited the photo to dismiss claims that slavery was brutal based on the tortured logic that because there were few if any other extant photos of scarred slaves, then this kind of brutality was rare.

D’Souza, in both Hillary’s America and The Big Lie avoids the glaring truth about the racism of the modern American right for obvious reasons. For one thing, it would implicate his meal ticket: The Regnery Dynasty. D’Souza has a good gig going: receive money from white supremacists while simultaneously accusing one's enemies of white supremacy. The D’Souza/Regnery publishing racket reminds me of something written by the late Joseph Heller, “It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character.”

John Oliver's Version of "A Man Like Putin"

Poyushchie vmeste is a Russian techno-shit band that achieved fame with its musical love letter to sadistic autocrat Vladamir Putin, "A Man Like Putin." The music video for the song is a sterile piece of hack work that supports the contention that howlingly bad art is a byproduct of repressive systems. 

It's great that humanity has John Oliver to parody the song. Watch the entire episode here and just the song here.

A Man Like Putin

A man like Putin

May seem like he’s strong

But if you think that

Know that you’re wrong

A man like Putin

Sure has good luck

Because journalists die

And he’s rich as fuck

A man like Putin

Only wants power

He’ll fake a tape

Of your golden shower

That’s not something

We want to see

Your orangey face

All covered in pee

And critics like Oliver

Better run far

Because he’ll track you down

And he’ll shit on your car

Beware of Putin

He’s ruthless and shrewd

If you’re not careful

We’ll all end up screwed

A man like Putin

Is really bad

That you need that explained

Is just so fucking sad

Federal Education Task Forces: Obama Vs. Trump

     Yesterday, it was announced that Trump chose Jerry Falwell Jr. to lead a federal task force on higher education. Falwell is the son of The Reverend Jerry Falwell and he took over his father's role as president of Liberty University, an intellectual black hole that miseducates its students by teaching them that dinosaurs lived several thousand years ago. When noted scientist Richard Dawkins was asked about this, he said it was "an educational disgrace," Dawkins went on, "It is debauching the whole idea of a university and I would strongly encourage any members of Liberty University who may be here to leave and go to a proper university."

     One of Falwell's stated priorities is college accreditation; Falwell claims that the federal government is too strict on this matter. That is a relevant issue for fundamentalist diploma mill operators like Falwell. If a college is not accredited then it isn't eligible to disburse federal student financial aid.  Liberty University, largely due to its huge online population, receives a whopping $800 million in federal aid! If academic crapholes like Liberty receive the proper scrutiny and they lose their accreditation, then the federal gravy train gets derailed.
     Not only is Falwell's appointment a huge conflict of interest, but an ignoramus like Falwell is manifestly unfit to lead a federal task force on education. Serious academicians consider Liberty University to be a pathetic joke. It's an insult to the institution of education to have an assclown like Falwell to have any say in education policy (ditto for his fellow dominionist Betsey DeVos).
     It wasn't always like this. Just a few years ago, the Obama administration convened an interagency task force that addressed abusive practices by for-profit colleges. It was led by then-Under Secretary of Education Ted Mitchell who credentials are a stark contrast to Falwell's. Mitchell received his doctorate from Stanford and he held important positions at UCLA, Dartmouth, and Occidental College where he served as president. He was also the president of the California State Board of Education.
     Under Obama, education task forces served the public interest and were led by competent professionals. Under Trump, they're led by mountebanks who will exploit their positions in order to continue to fleece their gullible students. We are living in a kakistocracy.

Dinesh D’Souza’s Hillary’s America, Regnery Publishing, and Neo-Confederate Historical Revisionism

Troy Davis writes:

In my review of Dinesh D’Souza’s film Hillary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party, I noted something ironic; the film used a graphic of notorious Confederate war criminal and Ku Klux Klan founder Nathan Bedford Forrest to illustrate what the current Democratic Party supposedly represents.  I mentioned that it resembled the illustration of Forrest on the cover of H. W. Crocker’s book The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Civil War (Note One). The book is an example of the worst kind of Lost Cause revisionism; I noted that the book was published by the preeminent conservative Republican publishing house Regnery Publishing and that the book was offered as a free gift to new subscribers to Human Events, a favorite publication of Ronald Reagan. That fact alone (Note Two) punctures the film’s claim that the contemporary Republican Party of Ronald Reagan is the party of civil rights.

Imagine my surprise when I discovered that the book version of Hillary’s America is published by Regnery! Let’s look at what this means: A book that accuses the modern Democratic Party of embodying the values of slavery, the KKK, and Jim Crow is published by a publishing house that actually embodies those values. This is hardly surprising considering  the Regnery family's long history of supporting white supremacy. This racial hypocrisy is hardly surprising. Both the book and film versions of Hillary’s America employ the same sophistry employed by Ann Coulter in her book Mugged:Racial Demagoguery from the Seventies to Obama. It turns out that Coulter (a Connecticut native) is a fervent defender of the Confederate flag and in her previous book Guilty: Liberal victims and Their Assault on America, Coulter defended the white supremacist group The Council of Conservative Citizens.

Notes:

Note One: Crocker’s book has a nauseating chapter on Forrest. A sentence from the first paragraph of the chapter gives the tone of Crocker’s view of Forrest: “Nathan Bedford Forrest was certainly an extraordinary man, a Herculean hero of the American wilderness who blotted his copybook amongst the politically correct because of allegations stemming from his capture of Fort Pillow and his part in the original Ku Klux Klan.” Crocker presents Forrest as a courtly Southern gentleman and whitewashes his role in the atrocities of prisoners at Fort Pillow and his founding of the Ku Klux Klan.

Note Two: Regnery published at least two other books that epitomize Lost Cause mythology and Dunning School historical revisionism: The Politically Incorrect Guide to the South (And Why It Will Rise Again) and The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History. In October, Regnery is publishing a biography of Forrest, Busting Hell Wide Open by Samuel Mitcham. A one-star reviewer of one of Mitcham’s previous Civil War books (not published by Regnery) accuses the author of perpetuating the myth of the black Confederate soldier. However, I have not read either book and thus can’t comment on their contents.
