Aliens, and a psychological profile...

Nerdrotic did a livestream this past week about another US congressional hearing on UFOs. And, as is becoming the routine, the entire affair was a big nothingburger.  Disappointment all around, and the public is still left in the dark not knowing anything about "them."  Yesterday morning, Vox Day remarked on a recent 2023 incident involving US and Canadian air forces shooting down a UFO.  We are left to presume that they likely recovered the craft.

"I’ve seen enough of the original Battlestar Galactica to know what that is. And that’s a Cylon fighter."  -Vox Day

Whomever they are, whether fey or fel, we know several things at this point that are concrete and true:

- There is a "they"
- Governments have known about them for a long time
- Governments have recovered the physical remains of these things
- People have been assassinated or had their lives ruined over this  

This doesn't seem like much.  Yes, we'd love to know who and what "they" are, the history and everything that comes with it.  But the government is being very bland in what they say about their UFO project.  Generalized truths are, at least, finally being openly proclaimed in hearings in the United States Congress.  And there are other truths and presumptions we can make, based on their own words; however, that is a conversation for later.  

For now, though, we can say that we've learned a whole lot more about our own government from this.  Washington's actions taught us a lot.  This entire situation builds a psychological profile of the United States feds and the international deep state that orbits it.  And so what do we have here?  We have a governmental power that is detached from the common citizen and doesn't represent them in any way.  We have a government that plays coy, and tongue-in-cheek---with a smirk---has lied for decades about another intelligence in our midst.  People have been killed, nudged into ruination, and driven into madness.  Lives have been wrecked.  All of this has not been done by "aliens," but our own people.

Given the lies from on high about recent plagues, presidential assassinations, sex trafficking, lawfare, weaponized immigration, the suppression of archaeological finds,  and evidence for faked official moon landings (see Bart Sibrel), we have to ask: what wouldn't they lie about?  For me, that is one of the biggest takeaways from this "disclosure" period.

As for the aliens, I don't think we'll get any kind of direct answers from the government about this.  Even if Washington did decide to be transparent on this matter, they've worked so hard to earn the distrust of the American people, I don't think the feds will ever be believed again.

Trumpian Mandate = Mainstreamed Right?

This week, WDW Pro discussed how it appears that Disney's ABC channel is desperate to find conservatives to put on its  programs.  Does this mean Disney now opens itself to the conservative half of the nation?  Will we see the "House of Mouse" pack away its ultra-feminist programming and produce middle-of-the-road content--or even right-leaning movies and shows?

Not likely.  The pattern of left-leaning corporations doubling down to the point of organizational destruction is well known to everyone by now.  The blatant rage of Leftist celebrities--so open and exposed this post-election season--betrays a self-unawareness on the part of a Hollywood that can't trouble itself to learn about America beyond California's borders.  And this contempt of the American everyman is institutional.

"One reliable sign of corporate convergence is a stubborn refusal to listen to very clear messages being sent by the corporation's customer base.  Convergence exchanges the traditional business principle that the customer is always right for the social justice principle that the unhappy customer is always racist, sexist, and outdated, which means his complaints should be ignored."

-Vox Day, Corporate Cancer

It is true that Disney's fake Snow White, Rachel Zegler, has been upbraided behind closed doors and forced to apologize for berating Trump voters--all of whom comprise more than half the population.  But it is also true that Disney's Marvel will continue to proceed with a female Silver Surfer--this in spite of their desperate need for a successful Phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

And, of course, this goes beyond Disney.  The new Dune series on HBO is, as usual, peppered with soft porn and continues Hollywood's ongoing obsession with witchcraft.  Amazon's studios carry on with the ruination of The Lord of the Rings.  The Warhammer movie project continues to be ruined.  The Minecraft movie looks ridiculous.  Doctor Who is more ignorable than ever before.  And while Alex Kurtzman is rumored to be leaving Star Trek, there are still big doubts that Skydance--Paramount's new overlords--has any inclination to repair the damaged brand.  

Mainstream success is an illusion for normal content creators.  Anyone who is not left-of-center must continue to propagate and survive amidst local and like-minded communities.  The subscription model is the best and primary way to establish a following and the successful development of created content.  Just as we in recent years have popularized the indie pulp of decades previous, the same may happen for our cloistered creators of today.

Bovodar vs the Deer Queen

Behold, Mary MacArthur’s best work yet.  The deeper we delve into the Bovodar and the Bears project, the more she surprises me.  I’ve already shown a black and white of this full-page spread elsewhere, but it’s so vivid once we see it in color.

Just a bit of a recap of what I said previously about this page:

This year, Mary MacArthur and I are working on Issue #3 of the Bovodar and the Bears comic. And it is VERY relevant to this ongoing battle within Hollywood. It is in this very part of the story that Bovodar and his friends are captured by the evil Deer Queen.

This adversary, fashioned in the same league as the Ice Queen of Narnia, is no benevolent ruler. A tyrant, this disordered doe has usurped a stag’s role, crowning herself with a golden, artificial crown of antlers, and surrounding herself with sycophantic followers. The image above is some of the most fantastic work I’ve seen yet from MacArthur, and I was shocked when she first presented it to me this weekend. I absolutely had to show you guys.

A little commentary about this art. Perhaps you’ll notice the seating position and posture of the Deer Queen. Brownie points if any of you guys can name what she looks like in the comments box. I absolutely love how Mary portrayed the “gay orbiter” effeminate lions on the right. These pathetic predators have sacrificed their natural, virile nature to become subdued subjects to an animal who’d normally be their prey in the natural world. I like the locks of their manes—they look like band members from Queen on their 70s album, News of the World. And the censure in the front, with the smoke pouring out and intertwining up the page, with the court filled with deer like that—it’s positively Dionysian. Fun fact: I said to Mary “Maybe you should play Venus in Furs by Velvet Underground when you draw this thing.” The overall effect is what you see above. Yes, I’m gushing, guys, but this panel deserves it.”

Not a few people have correctly guessed that the evil Deer Queen, here, is meant to resemble the infamous Baphomet statue that’s been trotted out these recent years.  And, really, the entire setting is meant to look like some kind of a satanic enclave.  Were someone out there to deify Nature and flesh out just what a pagan paradise would look like, the Deer Queen’s court is one such example.

The Deer Queen is one of the first villains Bovodar and his friends come across.  She is local, being only a few days walk away from his home.  She has a domain within which she rules, and there are many clues that she was utterly undeserving of inheriting it.  Her existence is a complete reversal of the natural order.  There is absolutely nothing normal on any level with how things are conducted under her rule.  If her court seems to resemble some sort of a twisted, self-indulgent, King-Herod bazaar, it’s supposed to.  

In her city, the first thing Bovodar and his friends should be thinking is: “How do we get out of here?”

Fey Touched: Part 2

This short segment is the following installment of an ongoing internet series.  The first part of this story is: The Lord of Two Lands.  

The segment before this one is Fey Touched, Part I

* * *

It was a beautiful day in Central Park. There were certain hours designated for when an owner did not have to have their dog leashed. This was not such an hour. So Aaron was kept on a leash no longer than six feet, even though he calmly walked beside Thomas, not giving any kind of problem whatsoever. In fact, Thomas was worried just a little because Aaron was behaving too well. As a dog, Aaron was behaving so well during the walk---keeping a steady and calm pace next to Thomas---that there was even a mildly annoying bit of slack in the leash.

The park was not full. It was a weekday. To be sure, the park had its patrons. Old negroes playing chess. A young woman in a tank tops briskly walking, checking her pulse on a smart watch. A couple leisurely walking their dog passed by, and the latter sniffed and growled at Aaron. But he kept his composure and remained the abnormally well-mannered dog that he was. A breeze of fresh air rolled down from the sky and gently shook the tree branches. A few stray dandelion seeds blew across their path, and a black butterfly with blue spots flapped across the path. It was a perfect moment to be in that exact spot.

A short distance away stood a hot dog vendor. He looked directly at Thomas and Aaron, and he maintained a restrained smile on his unshaven face.

“Need some lunch?” the man asked. “You and your little friend, there?”

Thomas looked down at the dog, and Aaron nodded his head quietly. They walked over to the man who seemed just as ordinary and forgettable as any other man. Tom took a pretzel for $2. But then the vendor said:

“Nothing for your friend? Maybe a polish sausage?”

Aaron nodded quietly and compliantly to his human companion. Wide-eyed and nervous, Thomas hesitantly said he’d take one. He took it plain with nothing on it. After the vendor handed it to him, Tom just stood there hesitantly, confused about what he’d do next. The vendor said:

“Don’t worry about it, buddy. Just give it to him. I won’t say nothin’.”

And so Tom did. He squatted down and put the hot dog in Aaron’s mouth, letting him bite it piece by piece. He wouldn’t just place food on the ground. Who wants to eat off the ground, after all? And if it were true that Aaron was once a man, it’s likely he appreciated the courtesy of not being treated like the animal he was. The vendor was fully invested in watching this. Smiling, he looked over his cart at the gentle dog and sniffed.

“That last one’s on the house.”

“Are you sure?” Tom’s eyes winced with suspicion.

“Yeah, it’s okay. He looked hungry.” The vendor smiled, nodded, and stepped back. Then, looking down, he breathed in, and cleared his throat. “Say, fellas, I think you might wanna head over to Cleopatra’s Needle over that way. There’s a fairy ring growin’ over in the shade over there you might be interested in. Your friend, here, might wanna take a nap in the middle of it.”

“What?” Thomas stood up straight very quickly. He looked down at Aaron, then back at the vendor, then to the tree line in the distance, and back again to the vendor. “You’re telling me my dog’s going to sleep? Did you just poison him?”

The vendor stood aback, his hand on his heart. “Are you kidding me? Do you know how many years it took me to get a license to do this? Look, you two looked like you were in a tough spot, and I offered the free advice. And the free sausage. Here, have a free soda on the house, too.” The vendor handed Thomas an icy cold can of Pepsi. “You better get over there, though. Before some kid or a bum kicks all the mushrooms down.” He lifted his hand and pointed north. Another pedestrian stopped and reached in his pockets as he grabbed the vendor’s attention. Aaron started walking, and he gently pulled the leash taut, leading Thomas away from the hot dog vendor.

They walked about fifteen minutes until they finally came to it: Cleopatra’s Needle. That’s what the locals called it. But for Aaron, it was something much more---for this was the very obelisk where he lost his humanity at the hands of a sorcerer. Aaron’s stride slowed down, and he was afraid to approach the monument. Thomas tilted his head, looking at the ancient structure. 

“So, this is the place where it happened,” he said.

The Bovodar and the Bears Comic Is Back

As many of you readers probably know, our online comic, Bovodar and the Bears, took a short break, starting in mid-June.  But the series has returned as of TODAY with Episode #7, "Meeting at the Secret Elm."

Come on!  What are you waiting for?

Just a reminder: We originally wanted to print out whole comic books in order to tell the story of Bovodar and the Bears.  Due to length, the novel would be separated into three parts.  Each of the three parts would be split into about six or seven issues.  Each issue would be approximately 25-30 pages.  

What we've seen up until mid-June was only one issue.  Issue #2 is now beginning, and we'll start to see Bovodar and his little friend, Grep, begin their adventure.  (Issue 2 begins with Episode 7 on Arkhaven.)  And, at this point, we will see Issue #2 progress throughout the summer.  There are some parts in it that are very fun and exciting, and I can't wait to show you guys.  Mary's work on this project has been incredible.

Our current goal is to finish the first six issues.  After the six issues are complete, we would like to have them printed in a physical omnibus, available to all.  This would mean that the Bovodar and the Bears comic will one day be available for everyone in a trilogy of omnibus comic books.  

For the time being, however, you can find our work over at Arktoons.  

You can support us by contributing to our Patreon.

And, of course, you can purchase a physical copy of the book, Bovodar and the Bears, available on Amazon.

Please do spread the word, like, and leave reviews of our work.  This project depends upon your support.

    

Episode #2: Two Strangers Stole Our Ham!

Episode # 2 of the Bovodar and the Bears series is out this week on Arkhaven.com.  

The visual comic book format is very conducive for episodic storytelling.  We're happy to say that, thus far, the ratings for B&B have been competitive with its fellow comic releases.  These episodes are being released on a weekly basis, and as this work is being published regularly on Arktoons, we are continuously working on new script and comic content.  

Suffice to say, the recent inked illustrations are stunning, as our Patreon backers have been made well aware. So enjoy the free content, and consider supporting our work over at our Patreon page.  Becoming one of our patrons is one of the best ways to support our ongoing effort to deliver the visual rendition of Bovodar and the Bears to you and your families. 

And don't forget to like our episodes as you read them!
