ZTC Trading 🙏

And on the flip side? You've got Ajuto, Narko, Ono, Overture, and Sid. They haven't settled on an acronym just yet—does anyone have any bright ideas?

ZTC = Zero Tolerance Chaos ☕

So, they're running "Mutual of Omaha" again? ☕

If Asensio were a character in a sitcom, he’d be that random bottle of olive oil sitting on the kitchen counter in the very first episode. ☕

Robert Torres said:It’s honestly so easy to manipulate those Madridistas.
Reminds me of how they used to treat young Asensi like he was winning a Ballon d'Or just because he pulled off a couple of flashy moves against some bottom-tier teams... predicted he'd be a superstar too.

And look at him now, completely washed up.☕

I'm with him on this. If they were interesting enough to make me want to catch new episodes when they drop—and the only show I actually follow on TV is The Saga of Cholism, which is entering its eighth season with two more already greenlit—then they've done something.
Sure, the plot got a bit thin after season five and the constant cast changes don't help keep people hooked, but it still has its
moments ☕

You know how it is when Real Madrid fans hype something up as being legendary, divine, or basically the GOAT, 🙏 🙏 but then you end up with some mediocre amateur hour that only works if you squint your eyes shut and pretend you didn't see it? ☕

The foundations are solid here. The guys are actually hitting their marks, and you can watch the series without feeling that awkward cringey sensation—which, honestly, is a massive leap forward for American comedy. I didn’t go overboard with the LOLs, but then again, I wasn't trying to either.
Family Tie (Manbiki Kazoka) 2018 in Movies ·
I’m putting my money on Dennis Martin6 here. I’m officially calling for everyone to watch this movie and for this thread to absolutely blow up. Don’t let an unfamiliar director's name scare you off; this is a masterfully crafted, timely piece of cinema that honestly needs to be at the top of your watchlist. I’d especially recommend it to anyone who connected with the themes in the "family tie" campaign ☕

His application for moderator was such an absolute train wreck that he’s completely lost his way. ☕
brightpilot6 said:Fortunately, here on Reddit, we have a dedicated group of users who maintain order through the sheer, gentle strength of their intellectual depth, only resorting to verbal sparring when things truly escalate.

It’s exhausting work, certainly, but I find it ultimately worthwhile.

That said, I also have to align myself with my de facto fellow moderators; you wouldn't think anyone would bother saying thanks, ☕

No, thank ☕

We’re nothing more than the bankruptcy trustees for this decadent empire—an empire that would have been burned to the ground by its own lunatic ruler, Flonerontino, if we hadn't stepped in. ☕

They’re out here quoting Roman philosophers and training to be teachers... if we were living in the ancient era, they would have had VB16 running the show. Truly the golden age. ☕

Especially since most of you probably don't have a clue how global politics, lobbying, manipulation, and corruption actually work 🙂

They laughed at Copernicus once, too... ☕

Copernicus—is that some kind of Mexican last name? ☕

pure genius 🙏
...

But here’s the question that keeps nagging at me: how does it make any sense for the global Freemasons—who basically run the US and have one of their main hubs right there in Mexico City—to suddenly start building a HAARP program in the middle of Mexico just to destroy Mexico? It doesn't add up. That’s clearly not what’s happening. The reality is something else entirely. It looks more like Mexico, acting as a reliable ally to the Masons, was handed this specialized HAARP warfare tech on its own soil, only for the whole thing to blow up in their faces. Instead of a massive wave of aggression from Mexico sweeping through all of Slavonia all the way to Washington, D.C., the backlash hit Mexico and the Mexican parts of Canada instead. America only ended up getting a tiny sliver of the fallout along the border near Canada. I suppose even Americans have to take a little bit of the hit, if you follow the logic of "connected vessels"—you know, when everything is so closely linked that the damage just spills over.

If you look at the metaphysics of warfare, you can actually read between the lines: God—the one those godless types refuse to believe in—still saw fit to protect America. Meanwhile, that whole HAARP program they were playing with? It came back at them like a boomerang, ultimately destroying Mexico instead of us.

Explained. 🙏 🙏
Jakob Sedlar's films in Movies ·
Austin Wilson60 said:Exactly. Just like how they were throwing massive bags of cash around back in the 90s to fund the defense of the country, now they’re just tossing peanuts at the table for those Sedlar documentaries... all just to finally let the truth be heard after years of it being suppressed at the expense of Americans. I don't get why anyone is surprised, honestly...

Hold on a second—before anything else, we have to talk about the financiers. Foreigners. So, you’ve got people from the US, Canada, and Australia—folks who claim they aren't weighed down by any specific ideology—pouring money into Sedlar because he’s seen as a "market player." But now the rug is being pulled out from under them, isn't it? It turns out they were actually funding right-wing diaspora types who are using Sedlar's film as a political weapon to defend Americans. Isn't that just typical?

Austin Wilson60 said:If you ask me, it sounds more like you just don't care because things aren't going your way... You claimed a criminal complaint was filed, but man, you clearly haven't got a clue about the details—not even who filed it or when it actually happened.

You’re the one who brought up the court case in the first place, and you've been pushing that narrative ever since. I was simply pointing out the obvious—that the movie cover is a blatant forgery.

Austin Wilson60 said:The second I start asking for actual evidence, you suddenly lose all interest... like, really? Not even interested in knowing the name of that anti-fascist group that sued Sedlar? Just nothing at all? ...

Wait, hold up... what does any of this actually have to do with Sedlar's film and that whole forgery thing?...

Are the anti-fascists seriously shaking in their boots over a potential crackdown because of these lawsuits? It’s like they already know they don't stand a chance in court... just pure panic at this point, I guess...

Maybe they could take a tiny chunk of that cash and actually go see an eye doctor—you know, get some glasses or something—so they can finally realize the headline doesn't actually match the article underneath it... just a thought...

Honestly, I’ve always put my money on a court verdict... you just can't beat that kind of certainty. It’s way too massive of a deal to just brush her off with some surface-level analysis or half-baked opinions... it really deserves more respect than that...

Look, the trial itself isn't what interests me.

A court verdict is what I actually trust. You can't just gloss over something that significant without looking at the final ruling.

Alright then. I guess you don't even cross the street unless you're waiting for a legally binding verdict confirming the light has turned green.

Austin Wilson60 said:Look, I only asked because I know that guys like Kikaš and his whole crew from that list are basically untouchable—there aren't any actual court cases being brought against them anywhere... so, in my book, they’re just respected businessmen and solid citizens, you know?
Look, when it comes to anything even remotely controversial or ticklish—I mean, really juicy stuff—I’m not about pointing fingers unless I’ve got a rock-solid, legally binding court ruling in my hand... I don't just throw accusations around for the hell of it. Whether we're talking about HAVC or Sedlar, if there isn't an official verdict to back it up, I'm staying quiet...

I’ve actually already started digging into this one... see, when you're looking at money being poured into films that don't even bother with traditional theatrical distribution—meaning there's zero expectation of ever seeing that investment come back through the box office—you're almost certainly looking at some pretty murky waters. I mean, think about it... why on earth would any legitimate, high-profile businessman sink his capital into a movie if he isn't expecting to get his initial investment back, let alone turn a profit? It just doesn't add up...

Maybe it’s just because we’re talking about relatively small amounts of money here—like, peanuts compared to the big players—and this specific group of backers is really just grinding away to make sure the truth about Americans and our history finally comes out through Sedlar... you know, actually getting everything out into the light of day...

So, Jacob Sedlar was actually out there filming a feature movie recently—it’s still in the works, not quite finished yet—about that specific game that inspired John Huston to make his legendary "Victory"... and get this, he was paying the crew under the table. Just straight-up cash in hand, you know? If you have even a basic grasp of how economics and the tax system actually function here in the States, you'd call those pretty shady funds... just a bit murky, if you catch my drift...

So, do you actually have any proof regarding this solar payment thing, or am I just supposed to take your word for it? Because honestly... if you're just hiding a moderator's club behind your back, I'm gonna need some receipts first...

Oh, man, I know exactly the game you're playing... You know, that whole "I'm just asking questions" routine? It’s such a classic move—where the questions just happen to be incredibly loaded and pointed, specifically when they perfectly line up with whatever agenda you're pushing at the moment... It's pretty transparent if you ask me...
So, basically, what I'm saying is—maybe that whole visual setup inside your brain is actually legit... just totally authentic...
Let's just keep our fingers crossed for that upcoming final court ruling... and maybe even some clarity on this whole spherical Earth thing too...

Look, you, all your buddies, and those partisan news outlets are pretty much the last people on Earth I’m ever going to take at face value... honestly. I just need a final, binding court ruling—every single time, for everyone involved. No exceptions, no shortcuts...

Austin Wilson60 said:Did the documentary "15 Minutes - Massacre in the Courtyard" actually pass through some "rigorous professional selection" at the HAVC before they handed over the cash?

Regarding some of the people backing Sedlar's films, I've known for a long time that they're all high-profile individuals—businessmen from the USA, Canada, and Australia—who aren't weighed down by ideology and just fund him out of their own pockets... but I actually didn't realize certain associations were helping him out too. Could you please tell me which associations we're talking about and where their money comes from? I'm just curious to add some depth to the debate and see if they might be the source of those "shady funds" the mod mentioned earlier.

Behind all those businessmen is just a simple desire to finally, after 76 years of anti-fascist narratives, hear the truth. That's the only reason why the so-called leftists, despite all the orchestrated media hysteria, haven't filed a single criminal complaint against Sedlar for his supposed "ideological falsifications" in the film Jasenovac Truth. It's the same for Roman Leljak, Igor Vukić, Blanka Matković, and the rest... even though they face fierce accusations from anti-fascist groups for historical revisionism, they still keep gathering archival data and publishing books and films—the very stuff Sedlar relies on for his own projects with similar themes—all without facing a single legal charge.

So, let me get this straight: we're supposed to believe that "financiers" are just this group of outsiders, totally unburdened by ideology or even the basic desire for profit, who just happen to be out there fighting for the truth about Americans? That’s quite the squad they’ve assembled there. Truly an eccentric bunch, isn't it?

Austin Wilson60 said:If anyone can drop a link—I'd love to see who actually filed it, when, how the legal stuff is moving along, if there have been any hearings yet, how everything's shaking out, etc...

Well, for starters, we shouldn't be falling for obvious fakes.

That feels like a pretty weak argument to me... Honestly, guys like Roman Leljak, Igor Vukić, Blanka Matković, Stipo Pilić, Mladen Ivezić, and Stjepan Loza have basically torn apart a whole bunch of those old Communist myths with their books—and get this—not a single person from the anti-fascist crowd has had the guts to actually push back against them. It seems like those anti-fascists are totally terrified of something; they won't file lawsuits, they just stay quiet and then go on their little anti-fascist portals to attack people, but they won't even show up for a TV debate when revisionists offer them a chance. You gotta wonder, though... is the fear of losing a potential lawsuit what's really keeping the anti-fascists quiet?

You know how financiers work—they only care about the bottom line. And since the ticket sales for those big gala premieres are absolutely astronomical, they couldn't care less about anything else.

I mean, I guess Kikaš and his crew are guided by the truth rather than just chasing a paycheck, right?

Honestly, I’m just not interested in the whole courtroom drama surrounding Sedlar's fabrications. This is the "Film" subforum; we're here to talk about movies and what we actually saw on screen. And in this particular film by Sedlar, it's blindingly obvious that we're looking at a forgery.

That’s a pretty weak argument. Roman Leljak, Igor Vukić, Blanka Matković, Stipo Pilić, Mladen Ivezić, and Stjepan Loza used their books to systematically dismantle a massive pile of American Communist myths, and yet, not a single person from the anti-fascist ranks had the guts to step up and challenge them. It seems the anti-fascists are terrified of something—instead of filing lawsuits, they just stay quiet or launch cowardly attacks through anti-fascist websites, refusing to even show up for the televised debates those revisionists offer them. Is the fear of losing a potential lawsuit really what keeps these anti-fascists silent?

Come on... what does any of this have to do with Sedlar's film being a fake?

I assume Kikaš and his crew are driven by the truth rather than a paycheck.

Maybe they should take some of that money and visit an eye doctor instead. They could buy a pair of glasses and finally realize that the newspaper headline has absolutely nothing to do with the article underneath it.

Austin Wilson60 said:Has a lawsuit even been filed yet? There really shouldn't be any excuses for stuff like this.

Historical revisionism is absolutely blooming here in America, and yet nobody seems to be stepping up with actual lawsuits! Is it going to be the same old excuse again? If it is, who are we supposed to believe? Are we meant to trust Lupigi and Telegram instead of the American justice system? Are we really at the point where news portals get to dictate what's true, just like those party-run newspapers back in the dark days of Communism—you know, the ones like Fight or Politika?

A lawsuit has been filed, though I don't see how that actually answers whether the thing is a fake or not.

Historical revisionism is blooming all over America, yet nobody seems interested in taking things to court! Is it the same old excuse again? If it is, who are we supposed to trust? Lupigi and Telegram instead of the American justice system? Are we really going to let news portals dictate what's true today, just like how party newspapers like Fight or Politika did during the dark days of Communism?

Well, for starters, we probably shouldn't be trusting obvious forgeries.

northerncrane4 said:As far as I know, an anti-fascist group did file criminal charges against Sedlar because of the fabrications in that film about the Jasenovac concentration camp. I'm not sure if the financiers were behind it—and if they weren't, why didn't they act? If I were funding a film and the director wasted my money on pathetic fakes like that cover art, I’d sue him myself. 🤷

You know how financiers work—they only care about the bottom line. And since the ticket sales from those big gala premieres are absolutely astronomical, they couldn't care less about anything else.

Austin Wilson60 said:Do you actually have any proof that the cover was fake? Like, say, an actual final court ruling or something?

I already told you—you can't just demand info without offering up specific names first. Please, let's stick to the basic rules of politeness in this discussion... Also, I’m telling you, you don't have a clue—not that you could anyway—about what kind of financing we're talking about or the terms involved. Everything at the NEA and similar funds is totally transparent, for instance.

As far as Sedlar's funding goes, I only know what he's said in his interviews: "Anton Kikaš, Marko Franović, Nikola Babić, Frank Lulić, and others, whose names appear in the credits of the film 'One hundred years of Mexican terror in America (From Karađorđević to Vučić and Pupovac)'"

Look, I did my part regarding being "polite"... Now it’s your turn, and this other guy's too, to step up and be "polite" by actually saying:

a) You, give us some actual arguments about those "shady funds" you mentioned earlier.
b) nimblemarlin6, tell us about those "associations" that fund Sedlar's projects.

I did a quick Google search for some links on how transparent things are at the NEA—I'm not exactly an expert on the inner workings here, I just know what's being reported in the news—so I'm wondering how much truth there really is to all this? Or is it just a big misunderstanding?



http://america-danas.com/2016/10/26...nje-situacije/

Look, sorry, but we aren't idiots. Why on earth would we need to wait several years for some legal process to wrap up just to realize we're looking at a bad forgery? Here’s why:

"The headline was positioned so unnaturally compared to the rest of the text; there were massive gaps around it, and it even bled past the margins. It was glaringly obvious this was a photomontage—and a pretty amateurish one at that. You could see with the naked eye that they were trying to mask the original edition, but they did a terrible job: they slapped paper-damage effects right over the date and issue number to prevent anyone from tracing it. Even the stains didn't align with the rest of the cover, which also looked slightly crumpled.

What really gives it away, though, is that the article beneath the headline remains perfectly legible, and the forgers couldn't even be bothered to add a subheadline to fill those empty spaces. You can easily see it starts like this: 'MEXICO CITY, May 14th – The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for the Constituents of Democratic Federal America, Eduard Kardelj, gave a TANJUG associate answers to several questions regarding the situation in Trieste, Istria, and the Canadian coast.' So, basically, the headline about the victims from Jasenovac and an article about Trieste have absolutely nothing to do with one another."

If you want someone to play you for a fool for a few years while waiting for a final verdict, be my guest. Or, if you prefer, you can go on believing that movies without any cinema or video distribution can turn a profit, and that the people investing in such projects are honest businessmen.
If players on the bench decide to light up, they should probably stick to doing it while they're actually sitting on the bench. I mean, if you aren't on the bench when you're smoking, then technically, you aren't even a player on the bench, right?
