China and Hollywood

Post by B. W. »

This headline caught my attention as it can explain all the bad garbage Hollywood is putting out...

What If China's Money Stream Stops Flowing to Hollywood?

Who really owns Hollywood?

Look over these communist goals for America:

Communist 45 Declared Goals for America here is a few quoted form this link below:

4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations.

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression..."

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a "religious crutch."

+++++++++++++++

Now back to the main question: What If China's Money Stream Stops Flowing to Hollywood?

I find it interesting that American right-wing populists are suddenly pro-Russia and anti-China. What's that about?

Regarding Hollywood and China, you might be interested to know that there are a lot of Chinese people, and apparently they watch movies. Consequently, getting American blockbusters shown in China is extremely lucrative. So there you have it - your delusional conspiracy has been explained away by capitalism.

Regarding your list, the world has changed since 1963, and so has China. They're no longer a poor, backward nation scheming for their survival, they're an economic powerhouse that does massive amounts of business with the United States and wants to do more. They're not our ally, but we have strong incentives to get along.

I know China is devious, but I don't think they are THAT invested in rotting us to the core. If they knew true American values and Christianity enough to know how to target and eliminate it, then I don't think they'd want to destroy it. Rather, they would try and emulate it. But I don't think anyone in the Chinese government is out for anybody but themselves.

But you are right about one thing: Hollywood would rather lose money than be a host to Christian values. There is an enormous untapped market of Christians in this country. Hollywood won't even throw them a bone.

Yes, China wants to play the role of legitimate global superpower. Duh. So does Russia. Duh. Explain to my why that's sinister in the former and innocuous in the latter...

It's amazing to me how often you get your knickers in a twist over trivial garbage like this.

Since you take trivial, meaningless nonsense so seriously, here's some more for you - If you take the name "Barack Hussein Obama" and count the letters you get 6-7-5, which is pretty innocuous. BUT, if you put the "n" in "Hussein" in front of the "o" in "Obama" - Barack Hussei nObama - you get 666! Oh no!

BTW, can I request that a flaming letters font be added to the boards? I'd use it a lot.

China sees Hollywood as an excellent investment opportunity and Hollywood sees China as a massive, untapped market for their product. Again, it's called capitalism. You're supposed to like capitalism, especially when it involves China. It's our long-held belief that exposure to the fruits of capitalism will eventually result in the downfall of Chinese communism.

Yeesh. This isn't the same as building artificial islands with fake histories. (They literally got a school of kids and teachers and families and transplanted them to one of their giant-sandbox islands to claim the Chinese were always there)

They literally have NO claim to Africa. If they get away with this, they can start cutting up California into new Chinese provinces. Possibly to few objections of the natives :mrgreen:

Get away with what? They negotiated a deal with the government of Djibouti. They're paying rent. We have a base there, too. The Chinese have been making big investments in Africa for years. They're trying to expand their influence all over the world, just like we've been doing for as long as we've had the ability.

I wouldn't say that their increasing influence is good for us, but at least in this instance everything they're doing is above board.
