The world's highest DJ party. 🚀🎧☁️ Thousands of festival lovers dancing on floating islands while music lights up the sky. Made with GPT Image 2 + Seedance on Pollo AI #PolloAI #PolloPeakMoment Part 1 Scene 1 (0–5s): An ultra-smooth FPV drone flies through bright clouds toward the floating festival island. The massive stage slowly emerges above the clouds while thousands of people dance. The camera passes beneath transparent sky bridges, floating holograms, and hovering drones before revealing the enormous DJ stage glowing in warm sunset light. Scene 2 (5–10s): Low-angle hero shot. The female DJ confidently walks to the center of the stage as the audience erupts with excitement. Giant LED walls ignite, laser towers activate one after another, synchronized drones rise into the sky, and glowing wristbands illuminate across the crowd. Slow cinematic orbit around the DJ before pushing into a close-up of her determined expression. Scene 3 (10–15s): The DJ places both hands on the mixer and starts the performance. Powerful bass begins. Cyan, magenta, and violet laser beams sweep across the clouds. Smoke cannons erupt, holographic equalizers appear behind the stage, and shimmering confetti fills the air. A cinematic crane shot rises above the crowd as everyone jumps together. Part 2 Scene 4 (15–20s): Motion resumes from the frozen frame. The beat drops. The DJ lowers her raised hand and begins an energetic performance while operating the mixer. Massive holographic wings unfold behind the stage. Thousands of synchronized drones form giant stars and rotating circles above the crowd. Neon lasers sweep through the clouds as lightning flashes in perfect sync with the music. Dynamic orbit shot around the DJ transitions into a wide hero view. Scene 5 (20–25s): The festival reaches maximum energy. Fireworks explode across the sky. Crystal balloons release sparkling confetti. The audience jumps in perfect rhythm, waving glowing light sticks. The camera flies through the cheering crowd before circling the DJ booth. Giant holographic equalizers pulse with every bass hit while colorful energy waves ripple across the clouds. Scene 6 (25–30s): A breathtaking aerial drone pullback reveals the entire floating festival glowing above endless clouds. Drones assemble into a gigantic luminous phoenix soaring above the stage while fireworks illuminate every floating island. The DJ raises both hands in celebration as the audience erupts with excitement. The camera climbs higher and higher, revealing the immense floating festival stretching toward the horizon under a star-filled blue-hour sky, ending with a slow cinematic fade to black.

Seedance 2.0 on FlovaAI FlovaAI_Japan POV: The best football day of my life. Spain made history. Prompt: A cinematic first person lifestyle travel vlog following a cheerful young Japanese woman (@ image) on the exciting day of the FIFA World Cup Final between Spain and Argentina. The vlog begins early in the morning in her cozy apartment. She wakes up naturally as sunlight shines through the curtains, stretches, walks to the window, and smiles at the beautiful city outside. She starts her morning routine, washing her face, brushing her hair, and getting dressed in a stylish casual outfit. In the kitchen, she prepares breakfast by cracking eggs into a pan and cooking a fluffy omelet, then makes a simple sandwich with slices of bread, takes a few bites while smiling at the camera, drinks juice, grabs her small shoulder bag, phone, and match ticket, and excitedly leaves home. She boards a city bus heading toward the stadium. During the ride, she notices a famous American landmark outside the window (such as the Statue of Liberty if in New York or the Hollywood Sign if in Los Angeles, depending on the host city). She quickly takes a beautiful photo of it with her mobile phone, then turns to the young woman sitting beside her and happily shows the photo on the phone screen. The passenger smiles warmly, nods, and says it looks like a great shot, and they laugh together. The bus arrives near the massive FIFA World Cup Final stadium, where thousands of excited fans in colorful jerseys are walking toward the entrance. She joins the crowd, enters the stadium, finds her seat wearing a Spain scarf, waving a Spanish flag, cheering enthusiastically, singing with fellow supporters, and recording short selfie clips. The match reaches its thrilling climax as Spain scores a spectacular goal, sending the stadium into a deafening celebration. Moments later, the final whistle blows and Spain wins the FIFA World Cup Final. Fireworks explode above the stadium, golden confetti rains down, players celebrate with the trophy, and the crowd erupts with joy. She jumps up, laughing and cheering with tears of happiness, hugs nearby fans, waves her Spain flag proudly, records the unforgettable celebration on her phone, then turns the camera toward herself with a huge smile, waves goodbye, and says, "What an unforgettable day! Bye, see you in my next vlog!" before ending the video with joyful, cinematic travel-vlog energy. #flovacpp #Flovaai

I HAVE AN ANSWER TO THE AI HACKING COMPUTER THREAT! HyperY2K I had this song made by my AI in real-time while I was writing. It is all local AI using a highly modified ACE AI engine. The real-time lyrics and music kept me focused. I thinks its mid… It should be our new Safety Dance! These are the lyrics. HyperY2k [Intro] (Low, urgent spoken word over ticking clock / modem static sounds) "Frontier models... not in years, but in months... Whole-of-society response... existential." [Verse 1] Shadows in the wire, ghosts in the machine Legacy code rotting, vulnerabilities unseen Criminals and empires, chaining exploits old EternalBlue still singing its deadly song Five Eyes sounding the alarm, midnight drawing near AI's dual blade is cutting crystal clear Offense gets the speed, but defenders rise the same We don't chain the future, we ignite the flame [Pre-Chorus] Technical debt's a mountain, decades in the making Patched holes still bleeding, foundations shaking No time for retreat, no room for fear The clock is striking hyper — the hour is here! [Chorus] Hyper Y2K! Mobilize the fire! AI on the frontline, lift the wire! Patch at machine speed, close the gates tonight Accelerate the fix, hold the future bright! No surrender, no chains on innovation's might America's edge — we code through the fight! Hyper Y2K! Rise up, remediate! Turn the threat to triumph — it's never too late! [Verse 2] Y2K was the warning, billions on the line Councils, partnerships, testing 'round the clock time Expanded the fields, bridged the ancient code Public-private warriors on the global road Now the stakes are higher, AI supercharges the war Millions of lines audited, patches at the core Fuzzing, verifying, anomaly response Legacy systems falling — we break the old course [Pre-Chorus] From WinRAR to WannaCry, the old ghosts return But AI sees the patterns that the humans never learn No prohibition folly, that hands the win away We weaponize the future — live to fight another day! [Chorus] Hyper Y2K! Mobilize the fire! AI on the frontline, lift the wire! Patch at machine speed, close the gates tonight Accelerate the fix, hold the future bright! No surrender, no chains on innovation's might America's edge — we code through the fight! Hyper Y2K! Rise up, remediate! Turn the threat to triumph — it's never too late! [Bridge] (Slower, heavier, spoken/sung with building intensity) They say slow it down, restrict the American dream Hand the keys to rivals who plot in the machine China, Russia, shadows — laughing as we fall But ingenuity's our weapon, we answer freedom's call Inventory the darkness, forge the patches new Tax credits, councils, liability shields true Out-innovate the darkness, out-fix the broken past This is Hyper Y2K — make resilience last! [Guitar Solo] (Fast, technical runs mimicking code execution → soaring melodic triumph) [Final Chorus – Bigger, Key Up] Hyper Y2K! (Hyper Y2K!) Mobilize the fire! AI on the frontline, lift the wire higher! Patch the world at speed, secure our children's night Accelerate the vision, into abundance light! No surrender! (No chains!) Innovation's might! We code the new frontier — we win this fight! Hyper Y2K! Rise up, remediate! From the ashes of debt — a hardened future awaits! [Outro] (Fading with gang vocals and electronic resolve) Patch the fire... accelerate... never too late... Hyper Y2K... we rise.

BREAKING: MY STATEMENT TO PRESIDENT TRUMP Donald J. Trump and his team JD Vance Special Envoy Steve Witkoff Secretary of the Army Marco Rubio Dear President Trump President Donald J. Trump At this moment, many Ukrainians see you as a source of hope. And millions of hearts are praying for your success in achieving peace 🕊️ And in this prayer we ask God to give you the strength to bring this peace mission to its success this time. We know that you are opposed by forces that do not want peace. In Russia, it is Putin. In Europe - a coalition of politics with the lowest ratings, such as Macron, Starmer, and Merz. And in Ukraine - it is Zelensky, who makes everything to prolong the war. Whatever Zelensky says today, he is lying. He is a card sharp who plays with human lives for money and for "golden toilets" for his cronies. It may seem to you that he has accepted the peace plan proposed by the United States, the very plan Ukrainians are awaiting as their hope. But we know this man far too well to believe that. Like an asp from Scripture, he will twist, lie, and wriggle out, and then strike back - sting from the shadows. We believe in you, President Trump, but we warn you against the mistake of trusting Zelensky. Until he signs an agreement to end the war, the grip on his neck must not be loosened. Not for a second. And after that - he must be thrown out of politics and held accountable for the sorrow he has brought to Ukraine. But that will be our task. We will handle it, if you bring us peace! Donald J.

[Seoul Economic Daily] 260119 “Unmatched Fan Power” BTS JIN Proves His “World-Class” Presence 👩‍💼Numbers sometimes speak. Sometimes they reflect popularity, point to direction, and prove the flow of the times. But when those numbers are created by fans’ choices, their meaning becomes much deeper. The news we shared today clearly shows just how far those choices can reach. 🏆👩‍💼BTS JIN once again proved his global popularity by taking first place in the 2025 Heart Choice Awards in the Solo Artist Choice category. This award ceremony is the 2025 Heart Choice Awards, co-hosted by the pop fandom app Choeaedol and the global beauty brand Cell Fusion C. Under the concept “This year’s choice completed by hearts,” the most-loved artist of the year was selected through 100 percent fan voting. Voting took place from December 23, 2025, to January 4, 2026. When the results were revealed, fans’ attention immediately turned to JIN. In the final tally, JIN earned a total of 1,295 points, rising to first place in the Solo Artist category amid fierce competition. 👩‍💼This achievement carries more than the meaning of a simple ranking. At a time when both group and individual activities are receiving attention, it clearly shows that JIN continues to maintain top-tier influence as a solo artist as well. In particular, this win is even more meaningful because it was achieved solely through fans’ choices, not digital chart performance or broadcast exposure. 🏢👩‍💼Fans participated directly and created the result with their own hands. Within it are trust, affection, and the time spent waiting, all directed toward JIN. A reward advertisement for the first-place win will be revealed soon. On January 26, a congratulatory advertisement celebrating JIN’s first place will be displayed on the large digital screen at the COEX Superior Tower in Seoul. This advertisement is not just a promotional piece. It becomes a symbolic scene where global fans’ choices are realized as large-scale media in the heart of the city. It is the moment when fans’ hearts, which began online, expand into offline space. This achievement draws even more attention because another record overlapped around the same time. 🏆👩‍💼JIN also won the Male Popularity Award at the 40th Golden Disc Awards through fan voting. That vote ran from December 22, 2025, to January 5, 2026. Achieving meaningful results in two large-scale fan votes held almost simultaneously shows how organized and focused JIN’s fandom is. 👩‍💼This goes beyond simply having many fans. It is strong proof of a fandom that participates consistently and sees things through to the end. Through his solo activities, JIN has shown an expanded musical spectrum along with a more personal narrative. In the process, he has firmly established his own place not just as a member of a group, but as the artist JIN. This result confirms that his journey is being clearly delivered to fans as well. 👩‍💼Meanwhile, BTS, the group JIN belongs to, is preparing for a full comeback on March 20. As the members, each having added their own color and depth through solo activities, come together again as a team, attention is focused on what kind of new synergy they will show. In particular, anticipation is growing over how JIN’s expanded presence as a solo artist and the solid support of his fandom will blend into group activities. Something created by fans’ choices, and the fact that those choices continue. JIN’s latest win is not just a single trophy, but a reflection of the hearts of fans around the world who are still waiting for him and cheering him on. #JIN #방탄소년단진 방탄소년단 BIGHIT MUSIC BTS_official 서울경제신문 최애돌 Golden Disc #HeartChoiceAwards #Goldendiscawards

To the little boy from Rosario 🇦🇷, One who was once too quiet, too fragile, too weak, too small - with a body that betrayed him but with dreams strong enough to power through. The little boy from Rosario who left home before he was ready, burdened with the hopes of millions before he was old enough to carry his own. To that little boy, I write as tonight might be your final dance. 🇦🇷 🇪🇸 You conquered Europe, conquered every record that they said would never fall - to the world, you were an undisputed genius but everytime you put on the Argentine camiseta, he felt like a curse trailed you. One final lost after another. What mattered to you the most, to bring joy to the cot that cradled you was constantly out of your reach. Every defeat you suffered kept reminding us, that maybe, you're just as human as we are. Every time you cried from the bench with swollen feet, we watched and are reminded, maybe you're just as human. You retired and we thought your story was over - we could still make peace with the joy you've given us from club spectacle. Like the Phoenix that you are, you rose from the ashes that was designed to bury you - you walked back into storms that was orchestrated to sink you. My dear little boy from Rosario 🇦🇷, you walked back to the pitch - fingers pointed to your grandmother who first believed, doubled the joy you've always brought us, fulfilled your lifelong dreams, made new records and broke your own records. I'm not even Argentine but you've spurred me to permanently chant: "Soy hincha de la Selección, La aliento con el corazón Ganamos la tercera con Lionel Queremos ser campeones otra vez" Tonight is not just another final, Muchacho. Tonight is not just about the hunt for another trophy, Lionel. Tonight is about the compression of a 2-decade story line from 2006 to 2026. All the tears, heartbreaks, all the doubts & how you repeatedly resurrected with no points left to prove. We might not have existed in the times of Shakespeare, Alexander the Great, Michangelo, Plato, Isaac Newton - but it's been the absolute privilege of our lives to have existed while you did, the absolute honor of our lives to have been your audience. Long after stadiums rot into the ground in silence, and goals get forgotten - we will always remember how you made us feel. One day when we're all frail and rottening in our grandpa era, our grandchildren will feel electric surges just from touching us - and it will be difficult for us to explain that it was your gift to us 70 years back. Maybe your last dance, maybe one more dance - but we're privileged to be dancing with you again, Mi Capitan. 🐐 🇦🇷

One final lost after another. What mattered to you the most, to bring joy to the cot that cradled you was constantly out of your reach. Every defeat you suffered kept reminding us, that maybe, you're just as human as we are. Every time you cried from the bench with swollen feet, we watched and are reminded, maybe you're just as human. You retired and we thought your story was over - we could still make peace with the joy you've given us from club spectacle. Like the Phoenix that you are, you rose from the ashes that was designed to bury you - you walked back into storms that was orchestrated to sink you. My dear little boy from Rosario 🇦🇷, you walked back to the pitch - fingers pointed to your grandmother who first believed, doubled the joy you've always brought us, fulfilled your lifelong dreams, made new records and broke your own records. I'm not even Argentine but you've spurred me to permanently chant: "Soy hincha de la Selección, La aliento con el corazón Ganamos la tercera con Lionel Queremos ser campeones otra vez" Tonight is not just another final, Muchacho. Tonight is not just about the hunt for another trophy, Lionel. Tonight is about the compression of a 2-decade story line from 2006 to 2026. All the tears, heartbreaks, all the doubts & how you repeatedly resurrected with no points left to prove. We might not have existed in the times of Shakespeare, Alexander the Great, Michangelo, Plato, Isaac Newton - but it's been the absolute privilege of our lives to have existed while you did, the absolute honor of our lives to have been your audience. Long after stadiums rot into the ground in silence, and goals get forgotten - we will always remember how you made us feel. One day when we're all frail and rottening in our grandpa era, our grandchildren will feel electric surges just from touching us - and it will be difficult for us to explain that it was your gift to us 70 years back. Maybe your last dance, maybe one more dance - but we're privileged to be dancing with you again, Mi Capitan. 🐐 🇦🇷

Stalin and Hitler: One Socialist Revolution in Two Uniforms The Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact of August 1939 is still taught as a pragmatic truce between bitter enemies — the Soviet Union's "far-left" communism and Nazi Germany's so-called "far-right" fascism ( This revisionist interpretation survives largely because the post-war political order needed it to end the World War fought between proponents of Liberty and those who sought to substitute the Liberal Enlightenment with socialist slave-statism. Unfortunately, this process led to a pragmatic subsummation of various socialist factions by the West's "democratic" systems, leading to an erosion of Capitalism as they work to convert our social-systems into perverse clientel states ( that persistently violate the rights they were established to protect. Moreover, while granting them moral equivocation to the rest of us, it absolved and shielded socialists from accountability for their criminal pathology, all the while enabling "russia" to promote itself as having saved the world from the "revolutionary" Holocaust for which they were equally responsible as participants and ideological proponents. Post-enlightenment, this was the West's first major moral catastrophe of self-inflicted degradation by way of pragmatic capitulation to the forces of its destroyers who continue to rewrite our understanding of history and are actively transforming the practical functions of our governments in favor of the totalitarian-axis ( This spineless moral confusion of the West is one with which we are only too familiar and continue to observe today across practically all spheres of life, especially foreign policy. In so doing, they are surrendering their moral high-ground, sabotaging prosperity, and weakening the post-war order, if only to appease the sentiments of the bolshevized and other subversive elements in our midst ( Hitler's antisemitism was his anti-Capitalism, and his anti-Capitalism was his antisemitism, no different from Marx. In reality, Stalin's Soviet socialism and Hitler's national socialism were branches from the same root of Marxism, united by shared theory, shared personnel, shared enemies, and shared operational goals. From their ideological foundations to their street-level enforcers, the line between them was blurred to the point of invisibility. Marxist Foundations of a Common Worldview Karl Marx's own writings laid much of the groundwork for both Stalin's and Hitler's policies toward Jews ( The alliance between Joseph Stalin's Soviet Union and Adolf Hitler's German Reich was grounded in deep ideological kinship. Both leaders subscribed to the Marxist premise, articulated in Zur Judenfrage, Das Kapital, and The Communist Manifesto, that Jews were an embodiment of the bourgeois class — a Capitalist, parasitic element that had to be uprooted for socialism to triumph. Even Hitler's racial and spiritual antisemitism did not contradict Marxism, as Marx was explicitly racist and referred to Jews as "Jewish N*ggers" ( rather, it built upon it, while framing the socialist struggle for revolution as racial and class struggle while preserving the revolutionary goal of Jewish expropriation and extermination as an integral part of revolution against Capitalism. While Marx identified Jews with the bourgeois Capitalist class, the "huckster" spirit of commerce, and the system of so-called exploitation — one's sovereign claim to their own life, property and from which we derive such practices of individuals trading that which they subjectively valued less for that which they valued more — that socialism sought to abolish and thus enlist mankind into slavery. He referred to money as "philistine paper" and commodities that were "inwardly circumcised Jews." His "solution" to what he and Hitler both lamented as "the Jewish Question" was the removal of Jewish influence from public life, an idea they framed as a "racial" and "class struggle." Soviet socialism took this view literally: Jews were "class aliens" whose property was to be seized and whose communities were to be dismantled under the banner of proletarian revolution ( Hitler's national socialism racialized the same enemy, presenting the Jew not just as a class exploiter but as a biological parasite who, in reality, were simply another group of people whose ethics stood in the way of socialist parasitism and imperial conquest ( not merely against foreign populations but against the individual himself. The underlying goal — to purge anyone who engaged in Capitalist practices labeled as Jewish, such as selling goods for profit, and purge Jews in order to "liberate" capital for allocation to socialist re-engineering of society — was the same. As socialism continued to fail throughout Germany, in parallel with proto-socialist state-interventionism around the globe and which brought to fore the Great Depression in the wake of the First World War ( many populations were ignorant of basic economics and did not ask themselves whether it was existing state-intervention that led to their woes, choosing to instead double down on socialism while believing it was anything remaining marginally-private under the Weimar Republic, alongside a Jewish conspiracy, as the source of their economic challenges ( The SA–KPD Connection: One Militant Base The supposed gulf between the two systems collapses further when we look at the personnel who enforced their revolutions. The Sturmabteilung (SA), or "Brown Shirts," Hitler's paramilitary enforcers in the 1920s and early 1930s, were by majority registered members of the German Communist Party (KPD), many of whom homosexuals who would have orgies in their commune housing with as much frequency as the cross-dressing transsexuals of the Wehrmacht ( They were street fighters who had already accepted the central Marxist premises: the destruction of bourgeois society, the abolition of free markets, and the removal of Jews as the supposed embodiment of Capitalism ( Their move from the KPD to the SA was not an ideological betrayal — it was a rebranding. The "world proletariat" became the "German worker," but the collectivist core, the contempt for property rights, and the antisemitic worldview remained intact. The SA–KPD overlap shows that the human machinery of both movements was interchangeable, and that the two "sides" were never truly opposite. Perhaps there is no greater evidence for this fact than Hitler's history, prior to becoming Chancellor of Germany, during which he would serve as an elected official in Kurt Eisner's Socialist People's State of Bavaria and then again into a Communist Bavarian Soviet Republic, alongside his service in the Red Army ( Economic and Logistical Partnership Once in power, Hitler implemented collectivist controls over agriculture reminiscent of Lenin and Stalin's earlier Soviet model. The Nazi regime fixed prices, bound farmers to their land, and subordinated production to state planning as they collectivized farming and socialized the economy at a scale outpacing the Weimar and SPD after private property rights were abolished under the Reichstag Fire Decree (1933) ( The predictable result was a collapse in agricultural output — by the early 1940s, German harvests had fallen by nearly half, creating a food crisis for a nation preparing for war, not merely for so-called "Living Space" and conquest against Capitalism but out of shared conviction in the thoroughly refuted Marxist "Shrinking Markets" or "Tendency of the Rate of Profit to Fall" fallacy that applies only to socialism ( Logistics and overall production were so inefficient under socialism, the Germans began substituting agricultural products with consumption of coal derivatives ( The Soviet Union stepped in to fill the gap. Under the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, Stalin shipped vast quantities of oil, metals, and grain to Germany. Much of the grain came from Ukraine, where Soviet authorities had already expropriated food from a population still traumatized by the Holodomor. "In tandem with these policies, the Soviet Union also provided economic support to Nazi Germany, which was instrumental in facilitating Hitler's war of conquest. The importance of this assistance cannot be underestimated as the USSR supplied significant quantities of food and raw materials to the Nazis. For instance, during the invasion of France and the Low Countries, the USSR supplied the Reich with 163,000 tons of petroleum and 243,000 tons of Ukrainian wheat in May and June of 1940 alone. As German demand increased during critical battles, such as at Dunkirk, Soviet oil deliveries surged to meet the needs, effectively fueling Hitler's conquest of Western Europe." Stalin's aid wasn't charity — it was strategic leverage that played into a broader strategy. It kept Hitler's war machine running and deepened Berlin's dependence on Moscow, allowing Stalin to pull the plug when it served his purpose ( A Shared Goal: The Removal of Jews and "Class Enemies" The economic pact was only one part of a deeper collaboration. Both regimes saw the destruction of Europe's Jewish population as a revolutionary imperative. Where Hitler framed it as a racial policy, Stalin framed it as "class struggle," both regimes deriding Jews as self-interested or insufficiently altruist, thus a threat to any socialist system — and in practice, both categories were the same. Soviet cooperation went far beyond the passive acquiescence some would like to suggest. NKVD archives and wartime records show the Soviets went beyond indirect facilitation, providing the Germans with logistical expertise and instruction on the design and operation of concentration camps, the "technical assistance" part of a broader joint effort to eliminate groups deemed "counter-revolutionary" or "parasitic" by socialist criteria ( In occupied France, Communist partisans operated in accordance with directives from Moscow that aligned with German objectives. Supplies would be surged to these groups when their activities advanced mutual goals, including the rounding up and deportation of Jews and other populations who stood in their way. The cooperation between socialist factions was driven by unity rooted in a shared vision of a post-Capitalist world they sought to build, even if they disagreed on who would lead it. The Joint Invasion of Poland and Open Collaboration Nothing demonstrates this unity more clearly than the joint invasion of Poland in September 1939. German and Soviet forces coordinated their offensives, held joint victory parades, and partitioned the country according to prearranged zones over which their banners jointly flew side-by-side. Their collaboration is simple to understand: in Brest-Litovsk, NKVD units physically handed over Jewish prisoners to the Gestapo. Deportations ran both east and west — Jews, Polish intellectuals, and others deemed "counter-revolutionary" "class enemies" went to German concentration camps and Soviet gulags, depending on their zone of capture. This was not "parallel repression," as many Marxists would like to suggest — it was coordinated, deliberate, and consistent with the ideological aims both sides openly shared, which Marxist and other socialist "historians" have attempted to negate from conceptual integration, blaming everyone ( but the culprit staring at them in the mirror as they weaponize revisionist concepts to intellectually and morally disarm opposition to their elite slavery schemes. The Calculated Withdrawal of Soviet Aid and "Liberator" Myth Stalin's material support — oil, metals, Ukrainian grain — allowed Germany to survive Hitler's socialist disaster after initiating his farm collectivization program. They would thus mount a rapid series of conquests in 1939–41. But Stalin always kept his hand on the valve. When Germany invaded the USSR in June 1941, Stalin's strategy paid out its ultimate dividend, cutting supplies to collapse the German army and sweep in to capture territories Germany could no longer hold while reframing the entire war in propaganda terms: the USSR as Europe's savior from fascism — which everyone understood had actually originated as a break between socialist factions led by Bakunin and Marx at the First International ( — enabling the socialist conspiracy to continue their crusade around the globe and which we continue to observe apace ( Meanwhile, their so-called "democratic socialists" clung onto their moral perversions and acted as propagandists in Britain and elsewhere, promoting such falsehoods as German and Italian socialism as having been Capitalist social-systems that "privatized," rather than socialized their economies ( None of that was real murder and theft, none of what you observed was "real socialism," they shouted. Thus, Western Socialists desperately undertook a near century-long effort to rewrite history, sowing public confusion as they continued to collaborate with totalitarian adversaries, with the goal of preserving the reputation of their slave-state model, hopeful for more opportunities to arouse revolutionary fervor or support for socialism, continuing to aid in replicating and exporting its failures as they worked to undermine and destroy civilization. The moral facade of liberation was bolstered by propaganda that omitted the USSR's partnership in invasion, deportation and genocide. This propaganda also relied on another longstanding policy — Soviet censorship of the Holocaust's targeting of Jews and others deemed "counter-revolutionary." Soviet media described the Holocaust as crimes against "peaceful Soviet citizens," erasing any understanding of its ideological root. This served multiple purposes: chief among them was continued export of socialism as they conspired to devour more countries, masked the USSR's earlier complicity and made the Red Army's return appear as a universal liberation, even to populations that had been terrorized by NKVD purges only months before, and simultaneously enabled them to exterminate more "counter-revolutionaries" who initially believed the Germans were liberators, an unfortunate consequence of Soviet censorship that led to additional collaboration and which Moscow continues to exploit as a justification to invade Eastern European countries, such as Ukraine, at the present time. Somehow the myth persists, despite Moscow's own admissions to the contrary ( and use of socialists, including national socialists, for operations ( Not Two Systems, but One Revolution The alliance between Stalin and Hitler was not a pragmatic arrangement between opposites. It was the natural convergence of two socialist revolutions — one draped in red, the other in brown — that shared the same Marxist contempt for private property, the same belief in the destruction of "class enemies," and the same targeting of Jews as obstacles to their utopian visions. From the SA's KPD roots to the Brest-Litovsk prisoner handovers, from NKVD camp blueprints to Ukrainian grain shipments, and from coordinated deportations to propaganda erasures, the evidence points to a single revolutionary current flowing through both regimes. The uniforms and rhetoric differed; the goals and methods did not. The tragedy of Europe in 1939–41 was that its peoples were caught between two arms of the same ideological body — one calling itself international socialism, the other national socialism — and that for millions, the change in flag over the city hall brought not liberation, but only a new master in the same revolution. And today, those who seek to resurrect those forces employ no different a dialectic in our political discourse. Their lawless presence requires a response: we are due for a correction in the course of history; and what the West needs is a totalizing, Objectivist intellectual revolution to overthrow their metaphysical and epistemological hallucinations — the false history and false consciousness of the bolshevized, not merely in history and state-organization but the arts ( to revitalize the only true revolution that ever freed mankind from the real struggle against bondage: Capitalism (

Celebrating this historic European championship victory for Aston Villa, the Prince of Wales took to social media to congratulate them and ended his message saying, UTV for Villa's slogan "Up the Villa!" and VTID for "Villa Till I Die" reaffirming his loyalty to the team and that is quite the Royal superfan, isn't it? 😁😍 In every situation, there is a Life lesson to be learned and the win yesterday which was 44 years in the making, shows that Success in Life is achievable, regardless of how many challenges and setbacks we encounter on our way there. But it takes three key ingredients to make it happen: •Dare to dream and have that vision; • Be willing to put in the Hardwork to make that dream a reality; • and keep Optimism and Hope high so as to never give up until the goal is reached; and this is honestly the hardest part of it all👌🏾 Prince William has been an Aston Villa fan since he was a child. He recalled during a podcast discussing his passion for the team: “I had some family friends who took me to my first Villa game when I was younger because they are big Villa fans,” “I sat in the stands with my Villa beanie hat on…With the camaraderie among the fans and the chanting and the singing, I just felt like I belonged there.”❤️ Almost 3 decades later, here he was in the stands howling and crying happy tears in celebration for Aston Villa's victory. For the emotional day, Prince William surrounded himself with 3 of his closest childhood friends: •Edward van Cutsem, who together with his brothers William and Nicholas van Cutsem, have grown up with Prince William and his brother on the Sandringham Estate. King Charles and the Late Hugh van Cutsem were great friends from university and KC is godfather to Edward while Nicholas and William Van Cutsem are godfathers to Prince George. Edward took his 16 year old son with him and he was sitting in between Prince William and his father in the box, dancing to "sweet Caroline"😁❤️ • Next to Edward van Cutsem sat Thomas van Straubenzee, another childhood friend of William who serves as godfather to Princess Charlotte. They are very often seen together since their youth and he used to "chaperone" Catherine when she was dating William. • Finally Ben Dawes another childhood friend was on his right screaming and hugging his old friend as they went through the emotions together😂 Following the match, Prince William was spotted celebrating with Aston Villa at the team’s afterparty. Defender Victor Lindelöf’s wife, Maja, posted a picture of her partying with the Prince, writing ‘Going off the rails’. Oh no please 😭😅 Remember when Some bitter ex royal, sat on TV looking forlorn, while claiming that he was "free" to enjoy his life while his brother was "trapped" and miserable🫠 Well, It sure looks from there as if William is the one who is trult enjoying his life as he pleases😏 What's not to enjoy? his future is set and assured without any financial worry, he has good health, he is doing what he likes to do successfully, lives where he wants to live, he can travel freely when he wants to, he has the wife and family he wanted and he has loyal friends, a loving family and a beautiful country to call home who loves him back.❤️ According to acclaimed author, Dale Carnegie in his iconic book about Lifetime success, "The Greatest success in Life, is to ENJOY your life"🔥 And for all intent and purposes, Prince William is enjoying the salt out of life so much, he is sucking the marrow out of it surrounded by the people he loves; and that my dear is the greatest success of in life☕️ #PrinceofWales 📹 Tokkianami

Conservative MP Michael Ma Michael Ma shocked the political landscape by crossing the floor to join the Liberal Party on December 11, 2025, just eight months after voters in Markham Unionville elected him on a promise to battle Liberal spending that was crushing affordability for families. This rookie parliamentarian, who flipped the Greater Toronto Area riding from Liberal hands in a razor thin victory, handed Prime Minister Mark Carney's minority government its 171st seat, leaving it a single defection away from an unelected majority that could ram through any agenda without facing the ballot box again. Ma's move reeks of raw opportunism, betraying the diverse working class constituents who backed him to dismantle the exact economic policies he now endorses, all while the Conservatives reel from a second such stab in mere weeks following Chris d Entremont's similar switch. The hypocrisy cuts deepest when you rewind to Ma's blistering House of Commons speech merely days earlier, where he tore into the Liberals as team feudalism for their deficit binge that inflated asset prices and forced over two million Canadians, including 700,000 children, to rely on food banks each month. He raged against their immigration mismanagement and economic blunders that left paycheques too thin for basics like food and rent, calling it an insult to hardworking folks in his own riding. Yet here he stands, parroting Liberal spin about unity and practical action to make life affordable, as if his prior fury was just empty theater for the cameras. Poilievre nailed the gut punch in his scathing rebuke, declaring Ma was sent to Ottawa to fight inflationary spending driving up food prices and living costs, only to flip and prop up the very machine he vowed to smash, letting down the voters who trusted him most. Adding insult to injury, Ma crashed the Conservative caucus Christmas party on December 10, 2025, the night before his betrayal, grinning for photos with Poilievre and his wife while dancing like a loyal foot soldier, even stiffing organizers on his ticket fee with a vague promise to pay up later. By midday the next day, he was spilling the secret to the Speaker and opposition leader, then hightailing it to the Liberal holiday bash that evening, where Carney hoisted his arm onstage like a trophy and joked about swapping opposition kranks for family cheer. This double dipping on festive facades exposes Ma as a two faced chameleon, schmoozing one side for optics while plotting his power grab with the other, all without a whisper of warning to his blindsided caucus. Online fury erupted like wildfire across X and Reddit, with users branding Ma a snake, traitor, and peak political fraud for stealing votes without consequence in a system that lets defectors cling to seats earned under false colors. Demands for mandatory byelections flooded feeds, as constituents seethed over the undemocratic sleight of hand that could lock in Liberal dominance through backroom poaching rather than public will. Whispers of foreign meddling swirled in his Chinese Canadian heavy riding, where Ma's Hong Kong roots and a prior Liberal scandal involving Beijing bounties fueled unproven but toxic suspicions of coercion, turning betrayal into a national security scar. Firearms advocates roasted him for bolstering the gun ban push he once opposed, while broader cries of rebellion echoed from those seeing Canada slide into Chinada under unelected rule. Ma's floor crossing is no mere party hop, it is a democratic dagger that shreds voter trust and rewards deceit over duty, leaving Markham Unionville's families to foot the bill for policies their ballots rejected. This calculated knife twist, timed for maximum holiday havoc, proves power trumps principle every time for turncoats like him, eroding the foundations of fair governance one stolen seat at a time. Canada deserves accountability, not this parade of phonies dancing on graves of broken promises.

Dear Global Pioneers! Happy Saturday! 🪷🪷🪷 I hope everyone is doing great and feeling the power and confidence in Pi Network and GCV!👏👏👏👏 This morning, I just finished the rehearsal and preparation for the upcoming 4th conference, which will mark my final global conference engagement. As the primary speaker, I will deliver a 20-minute speech comprising approximately 2000 English words. During this address, I intend to provide an overview of the GCV journey from February 2022 to the present, acquainting all global pioneers with its evolution. Given that not all pioneers have been part of this journey from its inception, I aim to elucidate previously addressed topics. 1. The attainment of the GCV at $314,159 is emblematic of the steadfast dedication and contributions of the global GCV community, signifying a collective triumph that is a result of the collaborative efforts of the Pi Network's global community. I extend my sincere appreciation to all contributors, past and present, including esteemed community leaders, merchants, and pioneers across diverse countries.🙏🙏🙏🙏 2. The consensus price of $314,159 originated from the Chinese community under the guidance of Mr. Bao, also known as Commandor on WeChat. Despite his departure from the community due to work and health reasons, the selection of this price was a result of the collective input from approximately 30,000 Chinese pioneers during the period of February to May 2022, with the support of over 80% of pioneers. The commendable wisdom of Commander and the entire Chinese community in establishing this GCV price is deeply acknowledged. 3. The term 'GCV' denotes the Global Consensus Value within the Pi Network community, necessitating collective validation from global pioneers, underpinned by both sentiment and blockchain records. It is imperative to distinguish the GCV from buying and selling prices. Moreover, to qualify as GCV, a price must secure consensus from at least half of the 223 country communities. The GCV is exclusively recognized as $314,159 within the community, diverging from individual prices. 4. Owing to the depletion of funds and inventory amounting to 100 million USD from Chinese merchants, who had not foreseen the protracted timeline for OM, many are presently unable to engage in barter transactions despite their instrumental contribution to the genesis of GCV. Furthermore, the omission of GCV from blockchain data is attributable to the incomplete KYC process and the absence of Pi Network wallets among most Chinese pioneers and merchants. 5. I have redirected my focus to Global Community GCV education from August 2023 onwards and firmly believe that our endeavors' success hinges on the global community's support for GCV. Consequently, the Global GCV movement was initiated in August 2023, gathering the endorsement of numerous GCV community leaders. Subsequently, the formation of the Global GCV Core Team after December 2023, following multiple global conferences, has fostered deeper connections with various GCV community leaders. Since I experienced how struggle Chinese community for GCV practice in bartering, I understand how important of timing. The delay of OM will be a disaster. That's why I launched two times or petition to CT to assist them make decision and understand the real situation in our community. Thank you to everyone's efforts and support to GCV! See you tomorrow on Youtube Live. I will post the link here tomorrow morning at 8:50am EST 10 min early before Conference. Doris Yin🪷🪷🪷

Stargate trivia: "200" (The BIG breakdown) SG-1 was about to attain the loftiest of broadcast heights – its 200th episode – and we wanted to do something special. Something unique. Something everyone on the production would enjoy as much as the longtime fans watching at home. The initial idea pitched was something called “Remember When…”, a trip down memory lane in which our characters’ reflections would form the frames of the varied flashbacks to outrageous missions. While everyone loved the idea of the outrageous missions, the premise of the episode felt too diffuse. We wanted an actual story that would form the heart of the episode. After much discussion, we elected to pay tribute to the franchise by referencing our last milestone – episode 100 – and bringing back Martin Lloyd and the show within a show, Wormhole X-Treme. But the fun we poked at the franchise through that spoof production was nothing compared to what we had in store for 200… WE FINALLY GOT TO MEET THE FURLINGS! Sort of. Even though it never really happened and we end up getting them killed in the end. Back in the show’s fourth season, not long after joining the production, I was summoned to Exec. Producer Robert Cooper’s office. He was doing his pass on our first script, Scorched Earth, and needed something from me: the name of an alien race. When pressed, he admitted naming alien races was not his forte and, as evidence, offered up “the Furlings”. I have to admit that whenever I heard the name, I always imagined a cosmic version of the Care Bears, giggling and snuggling their way through various adventures. As evidently, did everyone else on the production. The fans, however, were all sorts of curious and nary a week would go by without a fan posting a message board request for a glimpse of the elusive beings. Time wore on and those requests continued so, at one point, Brad suggested an episode in which we actually did get to meet them: a race of gaunt, towering, hairless, grey-skinned creatures. But that idea was quashed and the production went on its merry way, choosing to keep the race a mystery. But with 200 came the opportunity to honor those fan requests, and the viewers at home finally got to see those lovable furry creatures who turned out to be a cross between an ewok and a deranged koala. And then SG-1 went and got their planet blown up. Of course, we quickly reveal that the incident never actually happened and it was part of a pitch for a revival of the defunct Wormhole X-Treme t.v. series, a show that lasted an inglorious three episodes before being cancelled. But thanks to an impressive second life on dvd (following in the footsteps of Family Guy and Futurama) the show is being revived – and General O’Neill, in a desire to maintain a cover of plausible deniability for the Stargate program (and, let’s face it, screw with his old teammates) charges SG-1 with the task of creatively contributing to the production. MITCHELL TAKES ON THE LIVING DEAD! Every once in a while, actor Ben Browder would drop by the offices to pitch out an action sequence for his character – so I thought it appropriate that, given the opportunity, his character would pitch out an action sequence for – uh – his character. And, really, nothing says action like zombie hordes. Just ask fans of The Walking Dead. This sequence also allowed us the rare opportunity of witnessing Walter/Norman getting his head eaten. Double bonus! Mitchell’s idea is shot down and Martin gets on the phone with a representative of the studio. He is clearly frustrated and Mitchell asks: “Studio executives, huh?” Martin responds: “What? Oh, no Charlie? He’s a great guy. He’s the only one I trust.” This was a reference to longtime MGM President of Television and Stargate supporter Charles Cohen, one of the smartest, kindest studios executives I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. As much as he was a fan of the show, we at the production were fans of Charlie. Martin is outraged because they lost their lead. How, he wonders, can they do the show without their lead. “You just bring in a character to replace him,”suggests Mitchell – an obvious reference to the introduction of Cam Mitchell which followed soon after the departure of longtime SG-1 lead Jack O’Neill. Carter then throws out some alternate ideas for keeping the lead alive: “Well, you could have the other characters refer to him all the time. Maybe, get him on the phone once in a while.” Yep. Been there; done that during SG-1’s seventh and eighth seasons. And then, someone references that time O’Neill was invisible… THE ADVENTURES OF INVISIBLE O'NEILL! The idea of doing an Invisible O’Neill segment was actually a joke I threw out...That ended up making the script. That happened a lot in this episode. As with all the segments, we went off and wrote them individually, and then everyone weighed in and they were tweaked. I always found the scene of O’Neill spying on Carter in the shower a tad creepy. Anyway, the Invisible O’Neill idea was embraced because we wanted Richard Dean Anderson to come back and do a cameo on this all-important episode, but didn’t know if he’d be able to work in an appearance. So, we figured we’d get the next best thing: his voice. As it turned out, he was able to swing the appearance, making 200 all that more special. THE GETAWAY Martin then pitches out a tale of high adventure, placing our heroes (SG-1) in an impossible position – and then simply cutting to them escaping through the gate. This was a tip of the hat to the many fans outraged by a similar scenario in a past episode (don’t remember the name) in which our heroes (SG-1) are surrounded by Lucian Alliance soldiers only to effect some miraculous unseen escape. During the ensuing argument over the merits of the pitch, Martin attempts to come up with a reasonable window of time for the team to reach the gate and dial. Ten seconds is too short and thirty seconds is too round a number. He decides on 38! Which, coincidentally, is the same number (of minutes) a stargate can stay open. Timing is, of course, everything, and nothing says action like a ticking clock. Which prompts the following gem from Martin: “Trust me, jeopardy plus ticking clock is box office. It’s the E equals M C squared of the entertainment world. Ask any executive.” Indeed. If there were two notes we received more than any other during Stargate’s long run, they were: “More jeopardy!” and “We need a ticking clock!”. Having a character race a timer to defuse a bomb? Didn’t get much better than that. THEY'RE OFF TO SEE THE WIZARD! Next to The Simpsons, The Wizard of Oz was probably the most referenced piece of pop culture over SG-1’s decade-long run. The fans certainly took notice and resulted in one particularly memorable piece of artwork being sent to studio depicting the original team as the cinematic classic’s adventurous foursome. So, I suppose, it made perfect sense to reference the constant references by including a little Wizard of Oz sequence in the episode as well. Mitchell’s line: “Now, how can something work perfectly fine for ten years, then all of a sudden, it doesn’t work anymore?” was an in-story reference to the gate suddenly stopping operations – and, in hindsight, could have been interpreted as a comment on the the show’s cancellation. DESTROYING STARGATE COMMAND This also episode gave us the opportunity to do something we’ve always wanted to do: blow up Stargate Command. It’s part of the story Martin Lloyd pitches the team. Mitchell, however, points out a potential problem. They’re alive in the next scene. How is that possible. To which Martin replies: ” I’m thinking I can back-sell it and say you were beamed out at the last second.” Teal’c’s rejoinder neatly sums up the feelings of many on the production: “Is that not too convenient?”. Yep, nobody hated the Earth ship beaming technology more than I did – with possible exception of actor Ben Browder. In the original version of this scene, the fun we poked at ourselves was a little more pointed: DANIEL: Beamed out. MARTIN: By the Prometheus. TEAL'C: Convenient. MARTIN: True. But c'mon, you got Asgard technology, why not use it? As long as it doesn't become a crutch. DANIEL: Small problem. The Prometheus was destroyed. MARTIN: Really? By who? MITCHELL: Kind of a long story. MARTIN: In battle? MITCHELL: Yes. MARTIN: Wow. So how'd you get out of that one? Beat. DANIEL: We, uh... we were beamed out. Soon after, Martin fields yet another call, this one from the network. "So, trouble with Nora"assumes Mitchell, to which Martin replies: "No, Nora—she's great." A shout-out to the late Nora O'Brien who was our network point-person for many years before she moved on to another position with NBC. A sharp executive and just a lovely woman. SG-1 DOES STAR TREK We all grew up with the original Star Trek (except Rob Cooper who preferred The Six Million Dollar Man) so we (and by we I mean Brad) couldn’t resist the opportunity to do an SG-1 version of the television’s most famous SF series. Paul McGillion was originally supposed to do the one-line cameo of the ship’s beleaguered Scottish engineer, but when that fell through, series co-creator and Executive Producer (not to mention former stage actor) Brad Wright stepped into those shiny black boots. THE YOUNGER, EDGIER TEAM Look closely and you can catch the late Cory Monteith as one of the young and edgy team-members. “Young” and “edgy” were buzzwords we kept on hearing a lot of (and continue to hear a lot of in the business), so Rob Cooper served up his version of what a younger, edgier Stargate would look like complete with stylized shots and dreamy cast members. Vala continues to pitch out ideas, offering up an SF version of Gilligan’s Island (“We were in a cloaked cargo ship on a simple, three-hour reconnaissance mission…”) that was one of the scenes we lost for time at the script stage… VALA (VO): We were in a cloaked cargo ship, on a simple three hour reconnaissance mission... TILT DOWN to reveal a planet. VALA (V)): But on the way we encountered a severe electromagnetic storm and lost all power. We were forced down on an uncharted, deserted planet... EXT. TROPICAL ISLAND -- DAY We see the cargo ship washed ashore on this deserted island, looking very much like the damaged S.S. Minnow. VALA (VO): We washed ashore and were forced to survive for weeks in the most primitive of conditions. No phone, no lights, no motor cars. Not a single luxury. EXT. ISLAND -- DAY Landry comes out of a hut, dressed like the Skipper. VALA (V): General Landry was with us on the mission, and let me tell you, he was in a foul mood. LANDRY: Mitchell! Mitchell runs out, dressed like Gilligan. MITCHELL: Yes, sir. LANDRY: Where's Carter? She was supposed to be done by now. MITCHELL: Oh, uh...(looks around) She's not here. Landry whacks him with his cap. LANDRY: I can see that. DANIEL: Over here... PAN TO Daniel (as the Professor) and Carter (as Mary Ann) carrying a large device out of another hut. Vala (as Ginger) trails behind them. The device looks like something constructed from bamboo and coconuts. CARTER (to Landry): I think we may have something, sir. VALA:Not a moment too soon. I must get out of this place. I have a photo shoot this afternoon. Landry stares at the device. LANDRY: What is this thing? CARTER:Well, I managed to construct a basic subspace transmitter out of coconuts, bamboo and our old subspace transmitter. DANIEL: A long shot, but it just might get us off this island. MITCHELL: That's great! Mitchell eagerly moves in for a closer look, but trips, falls and smashes the damn thing.Before Landry can whack him with his cap again -- TEAL'C emerges from the trees, dressed like Mr. Howell. He casually puffs a pipe. TEAL'C: Was I not traveling with a companion? A female by the name of... Lovey? MARTIN: Alright, enough already. FARGATE I had really enjoyed Farscape and, with both Ben Browder and Claudia Black on the show, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to do a little tribute, SG-1 style. Originally, Ben was supposed to play the part of Crichton and Michael the part of Stark, but they suggested it might be more fun to switch up the roles. SG-1 SUPERMARIONATION! Brad Wright, Robert Cooper, Paul Mullie and Carl Binder are huge fans of Team America: World Police, so I suppose it should come as no surprise that they jumped at the chance to do their own, SG-1 version. As it turned out, years ago Paul and I had worked with The Chiodo Bros. who had created the puppets and effects for Team America (as well as work on a Davey and Goliath claymation parody for The Simpsons and the Willice and Crimbles parody segment on The Simpsons). We called them up and they ended up delivering kick-ass puppet versions of our team – and supporting players. So, okay. Fess up. Which one of you fans is now the proud owner of one of these? In the writer’s draft of the script, yet another idea is pitched out… MITCHELL: Death is always dramatic. CUT TO: INT. INFIRMARY -- DAY Daniel lies on the bed. Carter, Mitchell, Vala and Landry stand around him. Vala reaches out and touches his hand - VALA: Goodbye, Daniel. The heart monitor FLATLINES. The rest of the group can barely control their emotions. Suddenly, a bright GLOW starts to emanate from under the sheets on the bed. Slowly, Daniel's body TRANSFORMS into a glowing ribbon being like in Meridian. As it rises above the bed, the sheets collapse. Amazement plays on the faces of everyone in the room. The glowing being hovers high above them for a moment then - MARTIN: No, no, no. BACK TO: INT. BRIEFING ROOM -- DAY Martin shakes his head. MARTIN: We did that twice in the series. DANIEL: You only made three episodes. How many times did we kill off Daniel again? Whenever we offed guest stars, we would invariably send them off with the heartening: “This is science fiction. Nobody ever dies in science fiction!” And, many times on Stargate, that was proven true. Then, someone pitches out the fishing segment. Martin’s response: “And what’s the twist…no fish?” is, of course, a reference to the twist at the end of Moebius I and II. THE WEDDING How couldn’t we? There was something there for the shippers – and something there for the slashers as well when O’Neill, waiting for Carter, turns to Daniel who utters the memorable: “You know, if she doesn’t show, people are gonna think that you and I –“. My favorite part of this segment is Jack referring to Carter as, well, Carter. Not Sam or Samantha but Carter. I guess old habits die hard. Martin’s response to the pitch ” Yeah, right, if I want to torture the audience on purpose!” echoes a quote from a fan letter we received that was critical of the ship. A classic line. The episode ends with a bunch of interviews teeming with inside jokes. I mean, I know we did 10 years but, dammit, we were still on a roll!

Stargate trivia: "200" (The BIG breakdown) SG-1 was about to attain the loftiest of broadcast heights – its 200th episode – and we wanted to do something special. Something unique. Something everyone on the production would enjoy as much as the longtime fans watching at home. The initial idea pitched was something called “Remember When…”, a trip down memory lane in which our characters’ reflections would form the frames of the varied flashbacks to outrageous missions. While everyone loved the idea of the outrageous missions, the premise of the episode felt too diffuse. We wanted an actual story that would form the heart of the episode. After much discussion, we elected to pay tribute to the franchise by referencing our last milestone – episode 100 – and bringing back Martin Lloyd and the show within a show, Wormhole X-Treme. But the fun we poked at the franchise through that spoof production was nothing compared to what we had in store for 200… WE FINALLY GOT TO MEET THE FURLINGS! Sort of. Even though it never really happened and we end up getting them killed in the end. Back in the show’s fourth season, not long after joining the production, I was summoned to Exec. Producer Robert Cooper’s office. He was doing his pass on our first script, Scorched Earth, and needed something from me: the name of an alien race. When pressed, he admitted naming alien races was not his forte and, as evidence, offered up “the Furlings”. I have to admit that whenever I heard the name, I always imagined a cosmic version of the Care Bears, giggling and snuggling their way through various adventures. As evidently, did everyone else on the production. The fans, however, were all sorts of curious and nary a week would go by without a fan posting a message board request for a glimpse of the elusive beings. Time wore on and those requests continued so, at one point, Brad suggested an episode in which we actually did get to meet them: a race of gaunt, towering, hairless, grey-skinned creatures. But that idea was quashed and the production went on its merry way, choosing to keep the race a mystery. But with 200 came the opportunity to honor those fan requests, and the viewers at home finally got to see those lovable furry creatures who turned out to be a cross between an ewok and a deranged koala. And then SG-1 went and got their planet blown up. Of course, we quickly reveal that the incident never actually happened and it was part of a pitch for a revival of the defunct Wormhole X-Treme t.v. series, a show that lasted an inglorious three episodes before being cancelled. But thanks to an impressive second life on dvd (following in the footsteps of Family Guy and Futurama) the show is being revived – and General O’Neill, in a desire to maintain a cover of plausible deniability for the Stargate program (and, let’s face it, screw with his old teammates) charges SG-1 with the task of creatively contributing to the production. MITCHELL TAKES ON THE LIVING DEAD! Every once in a while, actor Ben Browder would drop by the offices to pitch out an action sequence for his character – so I thought it appropriate that, given the opportunity, his character would pitch out an action sequence for – uh – his character. And, really, nothing says action like zombie hordes. Just ask fans of The Walking Dead. This sequence also allowed us the rare opportunity of witnessing Walter/Norman getting his head eaten. Double bonus! Mitchell’s idea is shot down and Martin gets on the phone with a representative of the studio. He is clearly frustrated and Mitchell asks: “Studio executives, huh?” Martin responds: “What? Oh, no Charlie? He’s a great guy. He’s the only one I trust.” This was a reference to longtime MGM President of Television and Stargate supporter Charles Cohen, one of the smartest, kindest studios executives I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. As much as he was a fan of the show, we at the production were fans of Charlie. Martin is outraged because they lost their lead. How, he wonders, can they do the show without their lead. “You just bring in a character to replace him,”suggests Mitchell – an obvious reference to the introduction of Cam Mitchell which followed soon after the departure of longtime SG-1 lead Jack O’Neill. Carter then throws out some alternate ideas for keeping the lead alive: “Well, you could have the other characters refer to him all the time. Maybe, get him on the phone once in a while.” Yep. Been there; done that during SG-1’s seventh and eighth seasons. And then, someone references that time O’Neill was invisible… THE ADVENTURES OF INVISIBLE O'NEILL! The idea of doing an Invisible O’Neill segment was actually a joke I threw out...That ended up making the script. That happened a lot in this episode. As with all the segments, we went off and wrote them individually, and then everyone weighed in and they were tweaked. I always found the scene of O’Neill spying on Carter in the shower a tad creepy. Anyway, the Invisible O’Neill idea was embraced because we wanted Richard Dean Anderson to come back and do a cameo on this all-important episode, but didn’t know if he’d be able to work in an appearance. So, we figured we’d get the next best thing: his voice. As it turned out, he was able to swing the appearance, making 200 all that more special. THE GETAWAY Martin then pitches out a tale of high adventure, placing our heroes (SG-1) in an impossible position – and then simply cutting to them escaping through the gate. This was a tip of the hat to the many fans outraged by a similar scenario in a past episode (don’t remember the name) in which our heroes (SG-1) are surrounded by Lucian Alliance soldiers only to effect some miraculous unseen escape. During the ensuing argument over the merits of the pitch, Martin attempts to come up with a reasonable window of time for the team to reach the gate and dial. Ten seconds is too short and thirty seconds is too round a number. He decides on 38! Which, coincidentally, is the same number (of minutes) a stargate can stay open. Timing is, of course, everything, and nothing says action like a ticking clock. Which prompts the following gem from Martin: “Trust me, jeopardy plus ticking clock is box office. It’s the E equals M C squared of the entertainment world. Ask any executive.” Indeed. If there were two notes we received more than any other during Stargate’s long run, they were: “More jeopardy!” and “We need a ticking clock!”. Having a character race a timer to defuse a bomb? Didn’t get much better than that. THEY'RE OFF TO SEE THE WIZARD! Next to The Simpsons, The Wizard of Oz was probably the most referenced piece of pop culture over SG-1’s decade-long run. The fans certainly took notice and resulted in one particularly memorable piece of artwork being sent to studio depicting the original team as the cinematic classic’s adventurous foursome.

Akira Kurosawa on his experience watching 'Solaris' (1972) & drinking vodka with Andrei Tarkovsky in Moscow: "I met Tarkovsky for the first time when I attended my welcome luncheon at the Mosfilm during my first visit to Soviet Russia. He was small, thin, looked a little frail, and at the same time exceptionally intelligent, and unusually shrewd and sensitive. I thought he somehow resembled Toru Takemitsu, but I don’t know why. Then he excused himself saying, “I still have work to do,” and disappeared, and after a while I heard such a big explosion as to make all the glass windows of the dining hall tremble hard. Seeing me taken aback, the boss of the Mosfilm said with a meaningful smile: “You know another world war does not break out. Tarkovsky just launched a rocket. This work with Tarkovsky, however, has proved a Great War for me.” That was the way I knew Tarkovsky was shooting 'Solaris' (1972). After the luncheon party, I visited his set for Solaris. There it was. I saw a burnt down rocket was there at the corner of the space station set. I am sorry I forgot to ask him as to how he had shot the launching of the rocket on the set. The set of the satellite base was beautifully made at a huge cost, for it was all made up of thick duralumin. It glittered in its cold metallic silver light, and I found light rays of red, or blue or green delicately winking or waving from electric light bulbs buried in the gagues on the equipment lined up in there. And above on the ceiling of the corridor ran two duralumin rails from which hanged a small wheel of a camera which could move around freely inside the satellite base. Tarkovsky guided me around the set, explaining to me as cheerfully as a young boy who is given a golden opportunity to show someone his favorite toybox. Bondarchuk, who came with me, asked him about the cost of the set, and left his eyes wide open when Tarkovsky answered it. The cost was so huge: about six hundred million yen as to make Bondarchuk, who directed that grand spectacle of a movie “War and Peace,” agape in wonder. Now I came to fully realize why the boss of the Mosfilm said it was “a Great War for me.” But it takes a huge talent and effort to spend such a huge cost. Thinking “This is a tremendous task” I closely gazed at his back when he was leading me around the set in enthusiasm. Concerning Solaris, I find many people complaining that it is too long, but I do not think so. They especially find too lengthy the description of nature in the introductory scenes, but these layers of memory of farewell to this earthly nature submerge themselves deep below the bottom of the story after the main character has been sent in a rocket into the satellite station base in the universe, and they almost torture the soul of the viewer like a kind of irresistible nostalghia toward mother earth nature, which resembles homesickness. Without the presence of beautiful nature sequences on earth as a long introduction, you could not make the audience directly conceive the sense of having-no-way-out harboured by the people “jailed” inside the satellite base. I saw this film late at night in a preview room in Moscow for the first time, and soon I felt my heart aching in agony with a longing to returning to the earth as quickly as possible. Marvellous progress in science we have been enjoying, but where will it lead humanity after all? Sheer fearful emotion this film succeeds in conjuring up in our soul. Without it, a science fiction movie would be nothing more than a petty fancy. These thoughts came and went while I was gazing at the screen. Tarkovsky was together with me then. He was at the corner of the studio. When the film was over, he stood up, looking at me as if he felt timid. I said to him, “Very good. It makes me feel real fear.” Tarkovsky smiled shyly, but happily. And we toasted vodka at the restaurant in the Film Institute. Tarkovsky, who didn’t drink usually, drank a lot of vodka, and went so far as to turn off the speaker from which music had floated into the restaurant, and began to sing the theme of samurai from Seven Samurai at the top of his voice. As if to rival him, I joined in. For I was at that moment very happy to find myself living on Earth. Solaris makes a viewer feel this, and even this single fact shows us that Solaris is no ordinary SF film. It truly somehow provokes pure horror in our soul. And it is under the total grip of the deep insights of Tarkovsky. There must be many, many things still unknown to humanity in this world: the abyss of the cosmos which a man had to look into, strange visitors in the satellite base, time running in reverse, from death to life, strangely moving sense of levitation, his home which is in the mind of the main character in the satellite station is wet and soaked with water. It seems to me to be sweat and tears that in his heartbreaking agony he squeezed out of his whole being. And what makes us shudder is the shot of the location of Akasakamitsuke, Tokyo, Japan. By a skillful use of mirrors, he turned flows of head lights and tail lamps of cars, multiplied and amplified, into a vintage image of the future city. Every shot of Solaris bears witness to the almost dazzling talents inherent in Tarkovsky. Many people grumble that Tarkovsky’s films are difficult, but I don’t think so. His films just show how extraordinarily sensitive Tarkovsky is. He made a film titled 'Mirror' (1975) after Solaris. Mirror deals with his cherished memories in his childhood, and many people say again it is disturbingly difficult. Yes, at a glance, it seems to have no rational development in its storytelling. But we have to remember: it is impossible that in our soul our childhood memories should arrange themselves in a static, logical sequence. A strange train of fragments of early memory images shattered and broken can bring about the poetry in our infancy. Once you are convinced of its truthfulness, you may find Mirror the easiest film to understand. But Tarkovsky remains silent, without saying things like that at all. His very attitude makes me believe that he has wonderful potentials in his future. There can be no bright future for those who are ready to explain everything about their own film."

There must be many, many things still unknown to humanity in this world: the abyss of the cosmos which a man had to look into, strange visitors in the satellite base, time running in reverse, from death to life, strangely moving sense of levitation, his home which is in the mind of the main character in the satellite station is wet and soaked with water. It seems to me to be sweat and tears that in his heartbreaking agony he squeezed out of his whole being. And what makes us shudder is the shot of the location of Akasakamitsuke, Tokyo, Japan. By a skillful use of mirrors, he turned flows of head lights and tail lamps of cars, multiplied and amplified, into a vintage image of the future city. Every shot of Solaris bears witness to the almost dazzling talents inherent in Tarkovsky. Many people grumble that Tarkovsky’s films are difficult, but I don’t think so. His films just show how extraordinarily sensitive Tarkovsky is. He made a film titled 'Mirror' (1975) after Solaris. Mirror deals with his cherished memories in his childhood, and many people say again it is disturbingly difficult. Yes, at a glance, it seems to have no rational development in its storytelling. But we have to remember: it is impossible that in our soul our childhood memories should arrange themselves in a static, logical sequence. A strange train of fragments of early memory images shattered and broken can bring about the poetry in our infancy. Once you are convinced of its truthfulness, you may find Mirror the easiest film to understand. But Tarkovsky remains silent, without saying things like that at all. His very attitude makes me believe that he has wonderful potentials in his future. There can be no bright future for those who are ready to explain everything about their own film."
