<div>Following with sports, did any one else watch the ABC (Channel 15--unfortunately a Sinclair-owned TV station) Packers-Bears game Thursday night (GB won, yeah) and see the long commercial graphic war trailer for a movie (TV or theatre, I couldn't determine) showing a very realistic and violent invasion of Venezuela (named up front) with Guiado & Maduro imitators that appeared so realistic that it had the markings of you-know-who all over it. At first it looked like a "breaking news" interruption of the football game until its announced showing zdate (I was so astonished that I couldn't remember all the details). Is the Deep State staging a reality show or something? Maybe they just don't want the rowdy sports crowd to forget about Venezuela and the glories of victory... </div>

<div class="yiv3506780307MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">David J., Gus, and Bill made some interesting comments regarding the conservatism of firefighters and their identification with police.</div>
<div>
<div class="yiv3506780307MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="yiv3506780307MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Since 9/11, "first responders", including fire fighters and emergency first aid workers, etc., have been dumped into the same militarized bucket with the armed forces, police, etc. The respect and gratitude that is demanded of the public in support of these has become an aspect of hegemonic ideology. The intimidation, bullying, and silencing aspect of these campaigns are hardly subtle.</div>

<div>
<div class="yiv3506780307MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">(The anti-breast cancer promotions at NFL etc. sports events, also mentioned on the program, are related to this in interesting ways)</div>

<div>
<div class="yiv3506780307MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="yiv3506780307MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">This trend is manifested in the News-Gazette's covrage, and in various aspects of sports events at local and national levels. The latter is obvious to those of us who are both antiwar and watch sports. The ruling class demands that the citizenry view all armed and uniformed individuals as standing in the breach between order and anarchy. However, they have somehow (so far) excluded school crossing guards.</div>
