“Peak Woke”

They say the army needs to ferret out the “far-right extremists.”

Parameters is the quarterly publication of the U.S. Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Earlier this year on the Real Clear Defense website, I wrote an article celebrating the 50th anniversary of Parameters. I praised the journal and its editors for publishing important articles by both military and civilian writers. I noted that past issues had featured the works of Gen. Omar Bradley, Gen. Maxwell Taylor, Sidney Hook, Guenter Lewy, S.L.A. Marshall, Michael Howard, and Edward Luttwak. But now it seems that the “woke revolution” has infiltrated the War College with the latest issue of Parameters that features an article entitled “The Alt-Right Movement and U.S. National Security,” by Matthew Valasik, associate professor of sociology at Louisiana State University, and Dr. Shannon Reid, associate professor of criminal justice and criminology at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

Marvel Studios’ new ‘woke’ president Victoria Alonso is considering dropping the ‘Men’ from ‘X-Men’ to make the brand name more ‘inclusive.’

In a recent interview with Nuke the Fridge, Alonso, who just four days ago was promoted to president of Physical, Post Production, VFX, and Animation, ‘hinted that internal thinking is that the name ‘X-Men’ isn’t sufficiently inclusive.’

‘I don’t know where the future is going. It’s funny that people call it the X-Men, there’s a lot of female superheroes in that X-Men group, so I think it’s outdated,’ she said.

Of all America’s pin-ups, from Rita Hayworth to Pamela Anderson, Jessica Rabbit may be the most unusual. The redheaded femme fatale is tall, sultry and spectacularly curvaceous. She is also a cartoon.

Now the nightclub singer from the 1988 comedy Who Framed Roger Rabbit is again breaking a mould, this time as the latest symbol of cultural revisionism in Walt Disney’s worldwide theme parks.

Last week the Walt Disney Company announced that it was updating the Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin ride at Disneyland in California to reinvent Jessica as a lead character with an agency of her own rather than a slinkily dressed victim of male violence. She will no longer be the louche character Kathleen Turner breathed into cinematic life with the immortal line, “I’m not bad, I’m just drawn that way”, but a female detective cleaning up a weasel crimewave in 1947 Los Angeles — much as the late Bob Hoskins’s private eye character Eddie Valiant did in the original film.

Strange that it is not only the Taliban who are destroying children’s books, but also our liberal wokes.

The Taliban took control of the Norwegian embassy in Kabul and destroyed bottles of wine and children’s books. It was the Norwegian ambassador to Iran, Sigvald Hauge, who revealed what happened in the Norwegian embassy in Kabul, abandoned during the August escape of those from Western countries.
Nothing strange, no surprise, unless you believed that the “Taliban have changed”, as so many idiots with a certain weight in the press have repeated for weeks.

Strange, however, that it is not only the Taliban who are destroying children’s books, but also our Tolerants.

In recent days, in Canada, Asterix, Tintin and Lucky Luke were set on fire in Ontario schools (Hergé’s “Tintin in Congo” has become virtually unobtainable in America). These are the imposters of Progress who have just destroyed 5,000 children’s books in a “purification ceremony”.
