What never ceases to amaze me are the lengths to which Leftists will go to push their perverted ideologies. We’re all well acquainted with Leftist efforts to alter reality. In 2020, the FBI embedded agents in the social media companies and directed them as to what should be remain posted, and what should be removed and suppressed. Their object was to affect the outcome of the election. They succeeded. In 2021, Biden tried to install Nina Jankowitz, a/k/a Scary Poppins, as the head of a Homeland Security Disinformation Governance Board, charged with deciding what was true and what was to be banned as “misinformation.” In 2023 things haven’t improved. In the wake of the Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank failures Democrat Senator Mark Kelly asked representatives from the Federal Reserve, Treasury Department, and the Federal Deposit and Insurance Corporation (FDIC) if they had a way to censor information on social media to prevent a run on the banks. Typical Leftist response. No matter how dark it gets, keep pulling down the shades. It’s too bad FDR didn’t have the internet, the entire Great Depression could have been avoided. Trying to alter reality is bad enough. But not satisfied with that, the Left is now rewriting fiction. They don’t want to burn the books, mind you, just rewrite them. Recall they tried this with poor Dr. Seuss. See, FOF 3/12/21, How the Left Stole Childhood.
They tried to change or cancel Seuss’ message that all kids possess the ability to achieve, to avoid what they imagined as racist content, content which only a psychotic Leftist could detect, and which conflicted with the Left’s message of victimhood and dependence. Due to their brain damage, Leftists have developed the belief that they alone can determine, not only what’s good and what’s bad, but also what’s true and what’s false. They tried their crap with the Harry Potter books, but luckily J.K. Rowling has enough money to tell them to go pound sand. And now they’re coming for British author Roald Dahl, who of course is dead, and can’t defend his work. Dahl wrote such books as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, James and the Giant Peach and Fantastic Mr. Fox. All are prized children’s books and popular movies. But now, the books are being edited “to remove words that could be deemed offensive to some readers.” This is being done at the behest of an organization named Inclusive Minds, that works for inclusivity in children’s books. Can someone please explain to me why all written or spoken material must be inclusive? If any and all statements must be engineered to give no offense to anyone, including lunatics who go through life offended by everything, we will become a race of illiterate mutes. We’re well on our way to that now. Decades ago, the Supreme Court provided the remedy for words that offend the reader, “avert your eyes.” It’s a simple solution. We’re not protecting children by attempting to shield them from anything that might give offense. The world is not a perfectly hospitable place you might have noticed, and sooner or later these kids are going to have to decide for themselves what’s good or bad. Free speech is guaranteed, and there’s no requirement that it be approved of, or of comfort to the hearer. Plus, am I the only one who finds it odd that the people who seek to censor literature in the name of child protection are the same people who won’t lift a finger to stop kids from being gunned down in our cities, who find no problem with bombarding kids with rap music lyrics that rhyme every line with “Glock” or “Bitch,” and who promote drag shows and gender reassignment surgery for 5 year olds? In any event, the Roald Dahl books are being “edited” in order to appease the Woke imbeciles. Among the hundreds of changes, language not written by Dahl has been added. In Dahl’s 1983 book The Witches, he writes that witches are bald beneath their wigs. A newly added line says, “There are plenty of other reasons why women might wear wigs and there is certainly nothing wrong with that.” We wouldn’t want to upset the witches, and have the entire cast of The View after us. Now that I think of it, my first grade teacher, Miss Kirsten, was bald. Then again, she may have been a witch. The character Augustus Gloop in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is no longer called “fat.” Instead he’s described as “enormous,” as though that’s somehow more “inclusive.” Face the facts. Augustus was a fat bastard, and I can say that because I’m a fat bastard myself. Instead of being called “small men,” the candy-making Oompa-Loompas are now “small people.” I’m surprised they’re not being removed entirely for having the same complexion as Donald Trump. The morals of the Chocolate Factory story, and indeed of all the Dahl stories, lay in exposing the Bible’s seven deadly sins, including gluttony, wrath, envy and greed. That’s probably why they’re under attack. Traditional morality has no place in Woke Wasteland. And this nonsense goes far beyond just children’s books. Movies and movie characters are being wokified, or is it inclusified? James Bond books are in the process of being rewritten to remove Bond’s nasty habit of rampant heterosexuality. What we need is a kinder gentler Bond. Maybe even a gay or transgender Bond. Agent 00-Wierdo steps up to the bar and orders, “A kale smoothie. Shaken, not stirred.” I can see the rewritten script for Goldfinger. “Do you expect me to talk, Goldfinger?” “No, [Mr., Ms., He, Him, She, Her, They] Bond, I expect you to twerk.” And the name of the female lead will be changed from Pussy Galore to Androgyny Galore. That’ll be popular. If the Roald Dahl edits are the new normal, then I guess movies should avoid use of the word “Man.” From now on, the word “Man” may be used in a movie title only when the man depicted is George Floyd. Otherwise, “Man” is out. The Man Who Knew Too Much will be The Man Who Forgot Everything – Joe Biden. The Music Man will be The Rapper. And while we’re at it, let’s mandate that all music in movies, television shows, and commercials must be rap. We’re pretty much there already. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence will now be The Savages Who Shot Everybody in Chicago. And why stop at “Man?” How about Sex and the Single Girl? I guess it will have to be Sex and the Non-Binary Birthing Person. If all this sounds ridiculous, it’s because all attempts to rewrite history, to turn truth into lies, and to pervert artistic expression to bow to Woke idiocy are ridiculous insults to our constitutional rights.
