Senator Ted Cruz has introduced legislation that would see Hollywood productions severely limited if they are found to be bowing to Chinese censors.
Appearing on Fox News with Tucker Carlson Tuesday, Cruz charged that Hollywood is “fully complicit” in enabling Chinese censorship.
“The problem of censorship is a massive problem within China. China’s own censorship and coverup of this [coronavirus] pandemic helped produce a 257,000 deaths worldwide and when it comes to Hollywood, Hollywood is not an innocent bystander here.” Cruz urged.
“Hollywood works with the Chinese censors; Hollywood has been willing over and over and over again, there’s so much money at stake.” Cruz noted, explaining that studios regularly change production elements in order to please the communist state so they can make money in China.
“Pause to think about how many Hollywood producers like to virtue signal about their courage and free speech and artistic integrity and yet they happily try to edit out the fact that Freddie Mercury is gay?” Cruz proclaimed, adding “It’s extraordinary.”
The Senator continued, noting “I pointed this out the other day and several LGBT magazines began attacking me: ‘How dare Ted Cruz stand up and fight for gay rights.’ Listen, I am against censorship and against Chinese communists and by the way, I believe in truth,” Cruz said.
Cruz’s bill, called “The Stopping Censorship, Restoring Integrity, Protecting Talkies Act” (SCRIPT Act), would ban Hollywood productions from using “Pentagon assets” if they enable Chinese censorship.
Many big budget action films require facilitation with the Defense Department to use the latest equipment and technology.
“We aren’t going to facilitate Chinese communist censorship,” Cruz asserted.
Multimillionaire celebrities have signed a petition calling for an end to capitalism from the comfort of their luxury mansions.
The petition, called ‘Please, let’s not go back to normal’, says the COVID-19 pandemic is a “tragedy,” but that the “ongoing ecological catastrophe is a meta-crisis.”
“The pursuit of consumerism and an obsession with productivity have led us to deny the value of life itself: that of plants, that of animals, and that of a great number of human beings,” states the letter. “Pollution, climate change, and the destruction of our remaining natural zones has brought the world to a breaking point.”
The petition urges world leaders to not allow everyone to “go back to normal” after the coronavirus pandemic is over.
Signatories include Madonna, Robert de Niro, Cate Blanchett, Jane Fonda, Marion Cotillard and Monica Bellucci.
This is yet another example of the sheer disdain these celebrities have for ordinary, working aspirational people.
When they talk of ‘ending consumerism’ – they’re not talking about people not watching their movies or buying their music (God forbid), they’re talking about a reduction in everyone else’s living standards while they, the celebrity elite, continue to live like royalty.
While they dance and their giant kitchens and virtue signal about how “we’re all in this together” during the lockdown, people in the real world are losing their businesses and jobs.
They want to create a vertical economy of princes and paupers where no one outside of their bubble is allowed to elevate themselves.
Meanwhile, once the lockdown is over, they’ll continue to travel the world in private jets and buy expensive beachfront property while lecturing you about the necessity of eating bugs to save the planet.
Some are lamenting the death of the “simp” meme after it was used by a Republican Congressman to criticize Joe Biden’s fealty towards China.
Although its original meaning was “suckers idolizing mediocre pussy, “Simp” is normally used as an insult directed at men who overly praise or lust after e-girls on the Internet.
The growth of OnlyFans and other platforms where girls as young as 18 are encouraged to sell explicit photos and videos to thirsty men led to the popularization of the ‘Simp’ meme at the end of last year into early 2020.
Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz posted a tweet in which he stated, “Joe Biden has spent 50 years simping for China even as we’re going through this coronavirus.”
The fact that the term has become so popular that it has now seemingly entered political lexicon is the death knell for the meme according to some.
“Simp” has made it to Congressman twitter,” remarked one Twitter user. “Time to kill the meme.”
Kanye West says he was told his career would end if he didn’t come out in support for Hillary as the music icon revealed that he would be voting for Trump in 2020.
In an interview with G2, the Yeezus rapper said he was more determined than ever to support Trump.
“I’m definitely voting this time. And we know who I’m voting on,” said West, asserting that the president had outperformed Obama when it came to the property market.
“I buy real estate. It’s better now than when Obama as in office. They don’t teach you in school about property. They teach you how to become someone’s property,” he said.
Kanye re-iterated how he was one of the few celebrities to resist the pressure to jump on the Hillary train back in 2016 at great risk to his legacy.
“I was told my career would end if I wasn’t with [Hillary Clinton]. What kind of campaign is that, anyway?” he asked.
“That’s like if Obama’s campaign was ‘I’m with black.’ What’s the point of being a celebrity if you can’t have an opinion? Everybody make their own opinion! You know?” he added.
Despite facing the wrath of the entirety of the entertainment industry and media as well as much of the public, Kanye has survived all efforts to have him cancelled and remains the most famous Trump supporter on the planet, albeit with not many celebrities who are open about the beliefs for company.
Whatever you think about his music or anything else he has done, in an age of bland, anodyne celebrities who are terrified of going against the grain or expressing any kind of dissent against progressivism, Kanye has stood firm.
