It's The Truth, It's Actch'll!

     'Whats a matter with you - are you hard of hearing? I said 'Howdy'!

      In 1949 Song of the South was released by Disney, it won Academy Awards for the song Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah and for actor James Baskett, the first black man to get the award. The movie gave voice work to many black actors and is a masterpiece of regionalism as well as a showcase for the fantastic stories and animation which brought Joel Chandler Harris' collection of folk tales to life.

Walt Disney lobbied for Baskett to get the Oscar, and the artwork in it was designed by Bill Peet, one of the studio greats. The boy Johnny was played by the tragic Bobby Driscoll, who also had an Oscar.

     One of the lies told about Walt Disney is that he was a racist. Today, as Disney descends into madness and continues to alienate the very people who paid to see it's movies and built the studio into the entertainment giant it is, they have decided that Song of the South is unfit for the American people and are closing the popular ride built around the movie. Disney has doubled down on pushing sickness and perversion as desirable and normal, totally betraying the vision of the man who took such tremendous risks against huge odds to make his dream a reality. Walt had his flaws, certainly, but advocating deviancy was not one of them, to put it mildly.

      We here in flyover country will vote with our wallets, and using perverts and lunatics to sell product will turn out to be the biggest mistake these big companies like Disney have ever made. I have never liked Disney other than when I was a child, sappy movies with predictable singing and dancing is not my cup of tea. I am particularly irritated that they mangled my favorite book, The Black Cauldron, and I was delighted that the project damn near killed off that studio. I suspect Disney is too big to fail, but all of this will expose them for the fools that they are and show the world the rot within and the arrogance without.

Two Bad Men, Said Their Murderers

John Choate, 25 August 1818 - 3 August 1869 Crokett Choate, 1842 -3 August 1869 This tells of a grave by the dashing wave A fond friends lip that did quiver Of an eye that's hid by a leaden lid And a voice now stilled forever. John on the left.  They were originally buried where they were killed but October of that year the Refugio Masons moved the bodies to Rockport.  This was all part of the Sutton-Taylor feud, the Suttons were backed by the U. S. Government and of no particular righteousness, they were badge wearing murderers and bullies.  The two story house with the porch running around the second floor in the left background belongs to my sister.  A lovely house and the best behaved neighbors possible!

The Madonna Of Stalingrad

Image
This superior drawing is known as the "Madonna of Stalingrad".  It was drawn by Lt. Kurt Reuber, a doctor and a protestant pastor.  It measures 3' by 4', and is charcoal on the back of a Soviet map.  It reads, running down the left side, Christmas at the siege, Fortress Stalingrad, Light, Love, Life.  It was flown out by his battalion commander (why was an officer leaving, his place was with his men) on what Wikipedia says is the last flight out but I dispute that.  Could be, though.  Reuber died in a work camp.  He drew another before his death.  The original is on display at the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial church in Berlin. The Prisoner's Madonna.  Reuber. The Germans starved their POW's to death, by policy.  The Russians then starved their German prisoners to death, by policy.  Of the 91,000 6th Army prisoners, 6000 would return home a decade later. 'The Eastern Front was the armies of two mass murderer...
