I live in New York. When and where can I see
* Becoming Led Zeppelin
* Mr. Jimmy
I can never figure out why this stuff is only limited release, and not on the big screen or available to rent at home. There is always some press, but it’s months and months before anything else is heard, no information about how to see it.
**** Anyone know how I can see these two documentaries?
Thanks Danny / dkavan4710@aol.comI believe one of the purposes of the screenings is to secure the most lucrative distribution deals. That takes time to coordinate.

This source is fine, but the article is misdirected. No one's more anti-Red than I am, but Western countries can't blame this mess on the Chinese, it's entirely self-inflicted. (At any rate, modern China is the creation of Western financial elites, if the Frankenstein monster is starting to freelance, you need to blame the doctor who started the problem.)
The purpose of the article is not to absolve Western nations for their tyrannical response, rather to illuminate one factor that explains it: Communist Chinese influence.

I believe you live in Japan? I'd be interested on your perspective of how that country is handling Covid as I have not looked into it. AFAIK The Japanese culture is significantly more empathetic and respectful of the elderly than the west generally is (some exceptions). I imagine that would be a focus of the Government there.
Yes, I do and overall I rate Japan's response favorably. All along the Government of Japan (or central government) remained extremely reluctant to impose public health mandates and restrictions, issuing instead recommendations and guidance for the prefectural governments to consider. The central government did take the lead of course in shutting down international travel and tracking statistics. An apolitical response to COVID-19 is so much easier to achieve in a homogenous society. The citizens aren't wasting a lot of time and energy politicizing and tearing apart their society for the sake of establishing some hierarchy of victimhood.

How Deep Chinese Influence Pushed Australia Into Astonishing Covid Tyranny
A compromised political elite is responding to a virus likely juiced up in a Chinese bioweapons lab by adopting scientifically unprecedented, Communist-style social controls.

Actions speak louder than words and a 97 year old man and his wife building houses for the poor with their own hands speaks volumes. Unlike all the other past Presidents who are doing exactly nothing to help the poor and / or disenfranchised.
Insufferable virtue signaling. Who are you to decide what any 97 year old should do with their time, and how do you know? You don't.

Exactly. Carter was the only President not to engage in a war or military action against another nation while in office (the Iran Hostage botched rescue not included). Think on that for a minute.
Ok, I've thought about it. Firstly, you're saying the one thing he did attempt he failed at doing.
Secondly, unless like most Leftist pillow-biters you have deep and abiding sympathy for Iranian Generals that kill American soldiers, President Donald J. Trump did not engage in a war or unjust military action against another nation while in office either.

You know Ike would immediately purge the republican party of all the crazies, then tell everyone to grow the hell up and stop acting like children from Lord of the Flies.
As if the other side is even remotely sane.

OMG look what the cat dragged in. Liz, I know you must have missed me here so much. The thing about the surgeon's mask is it actually makes a difference.

Of course we also have the typical, "never let a tragedy go unexploited" corporate mentality so everyone is raising prices because, well, because they can and its that simple.
Of course it's never because we have a nation full of morbidly obese, generally unhealthy and irresponsible people. Of course the only solution is more Big Government.

College educations used to be affordable, then the states started contributing less & less to the universities so now tuition is outrageous.
Why didn't you mention it's also because the federal government gives every applicant with a pulse a student loan?

So we've gone from "two weeks to flatten the curve" to "get vaccinated" to changing the definition of what fully vaccinated is. I'm so done with this bullshit. Not one more drop. I will never take a booster shot.

Nope. As I stated very early on (and was branded as a tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorist for doing so) the origin of this virus is an inadvertent leak that occurred during gain of function research inside a Wuhan lab funded in part by that son of a bitch Dr. Anthony Fauci.

There's nothing sanctified about democracy, it's a form of government, and can be as bad as any other form if the rulers themselves are rotten or if the society over which it presides is corrupted. Prime examples being the US and Western Europe. The destructive lock-downs, vaccine mandates, and mass surveillance are all products of democratic governments. As bad as the CCP unquestionably is, I'm pretty sure they don't hate their own people, like the Western governments do.
Yeah, were definitely done here.

The issue isn't whether Chinese or any other ethnic/national group can achieve stable democracy. The issue is, how does it concern the US if they do or not? It's a good thing the US doesn't have a mutual defense pact with Taiwan.
And if I recall, don't Taiwan (where the Nationalist government evacuated to after the civil war) and the CCP both claim to be the rightful rulers of China? How is this any business of the US? It sounds like an internal Chinese matter, we have enough of our own problems to solve. Ironically, the US wouldn't have to worry about any of this if they hadn't betrayed the Nationalists during WW2. Another triumph of the "good war".
Unsure if I have the time and inclination to explain the history of the world to you. Suffice to say a world without stable democratic nations is not the world I want.

So, you're proud of supporting the various stupid, pointless wars that the Americans have waged? Interesting. What Australian national interest has been served by any of these? What Australian (or American, for that matter) national interest depends on who controls Taiwan?
Taiwan is a free society of 24 million people that puts the lie to the Chinese Communist Party’s ultimate claim of legitimacy. Throughout its seventy years of rule, the Party has justified its totalitarianism on the basis that any other form of government would lead to chaos and corruption—features that marked much of China’s history and which some historians blame for why greatness and global power have eluded the world’s most populous nation.
Taiwan is a living rebuke of this fiction. It shows that an ethnically Chinese-majority country can achieve stability and prosperity through democracy and the rule of law. Since Taiwan evolved into a full democracy in 1996, it has had three peaceful changes of power between political parties and its per capita income has grown to more than $50,000—now ranked twenty-eighth in the world. Furthermore, Taipei has achieved this despite persistent threats and intimidation from Beijing.
Unfortunately, the US does not have a mutual defense treaty with Taiwan and the Communist Chinese own President Biden so if and when the Communist Chinese decide to take Taiwan I seriously doubt the US will do a damn thing about it.

Just as it is my right to question why the average American pays considerably more in taxes (all taxes, not just income) than those Scandinavian countries yet get almost nothing for it (again, talking about your average, working class American) in return.
Hmmm, I wonder why that is???
For the most part it's because people like you insist the solution to every problem is more Big Government.

Just wait a few hours and someone on this board will come along and tell you how wrong you are, that your life is actually a dystopian nightmare of which you contributed, and that you are in fact a commie-pinko. Of course this will be coming from someone who lives in the US and has never stepped foot in QLD much less Australia.
This from someone who never misses an opportunity to tell us the US should imitate Scandanavia, perhaps not realizing the entire population of Scandanavia is equivalent to one large American city.

Rebuttal (and also just an opinion): Generally speaking a steady decline in unemployment is a positive outcome, but the real unresolved challenge is we've had at least 30 years of wage stagnation in the US. People won't work for $15.00 an hour when Big Government is paying a household of four $60K+ a year if they just sit on their ass at home and contribute nothing. I've said for at least five years and will repeat today the US needs to impose a blanket policy of NO IMMIGRATION for at least five years while the nation comes up with a sensible immigration policy that will be strictly enforced. These ILLEGAL foreign invaders most definitely ARE hurting society at large -- a Somali member of Congress from Minnesota definitely comes to mind. This country does NOT need the horde of semi-literate male laborers with no skills that continues to pour through the border every day in historic numbers. Their sole purpose is to serve as "replacement voters" that flip red states blue and help to steal more elections.
