#7  See if I have a grasp on this.
Using media, they have created this Island of Misfit Boys which can be visited. There, they are groomed into accepting the misfit as not only necessary but quality and by being part of the Island they will no longer be misfit but empowered. Go choose your outfit and new name, and here take all these chemicals which will allow you to be more you.

So with the grooming and out of mental state chemical levels, they can be assigned character class and alignment by handlers.

Sure you all have met at a point in life the guy who can drink beer, hell drink beer all day, but as soon as the liquor comes out, watch it now. Some must have an absolute loss of control buzz from teetering their brain environment and they either flip out, like here, or get guided into a mass violence incident by -somebody-.

-Signs, Portents, and the Weather-
Ian Bell: 60-year-old Australia disc jockey calls the non-vaccinated "belligerently stupid," dies 30 days after his fifth mRNA/viral vector DNA injection

[I'm unable to copy/paste any text from this site.]
It’s easier to copy when in Reader View.

—trailing wife at 9:10 p.m. ET
[TheCovidBlog] A 60-year-old Australian DJ is dead; but he deserves credit for dying for what he believed in.

Mr. Ian Bell was originally from Adelaide, South Australia. He developed a following in the 1980s and 1990s as a disc jockey in clubs around the city. Mr. Bell also owned a record store, and wrote articles for various publications, mostly about concerts and music. He frequently performed and worked at The Big Day Out, Australia’s annual music festival equivalent to Lollapalooza in the U.S.

Mr. Bell met and hung out with many celebrities over the years.

He was reportedly married and had a daughter.

THE MAN LOVED HIS VACCINES
Mr. Bell was the epitome of a virtue-signaling vaxx zealot. He fully committed to the COVID religion at the very start of it all.

Mr. Bell received his first injection on June 1, 2021.

The vitriol and hate for the non-vaccinated quickly followed. He accused “anti-vaxxers” and “anti-lockdown” critical thinkers of needing validation online, despite himself virtue-signaling nearly all of his injections. He compared COVID to war, and implied the non-vaccinated are “selfish, illinformed [sic] and short sighted.”

There’s a lot more that could be included in this article. But you get the point.

DYING FOR THE CAUSE
It’s unclear when Mr. Bell received his fourth injection. But he wrote on April 5 “Covid Vax #5 done!”

His final Facebook post was on May 1. He was wearing one of those horse feeder-looking masks.

The foregoing photo was taken in Paris. Mr. Bell stopped there before heading to the 67th Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool, England. But he suffered a sudden heart attack the next day, May 2. He died later that evening.

AT LEAST HE WAS LOYAL AND FAITHFUL
The story of Mr. Bell story reminds this blogger of the second-to-last scene in the 1997 crime drama film “187” starring Samuel L. Jackson. The latter played a teacher (Mr. Garfield) in a gangster-infested school. Garfield, before committing suicide, told Caesar, one of the gangsters, “don’t be half ass stupid, be all the way stupid.”

Africa Subsaharan
Uganda: Museveni in State of Nation address reaffirms support for anti-LGBTQ law Volume 90%
[AFRICANEWS] Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni
...President-for-Life of Uganda. He assumed office in 1985. His primary virtue is being prefereable to both his predecessors, Idi Amin and Milton Obote...
on Wednesday defied international calls to rescind an anti-gay law seen as one of the world's harshest, including a potential death penalty
for "aggravated homosexuality".

"The signing of the bill is finished, no one will move us," Museveni said in a statement after a meeting with members of his National Resistance® Movement party.

"The NRM has never had two languages, what we tell you during the day is what we shall tell you during the night," he said.

Ugandan activists have called on international donors to impose sanctions against the east African country's leaders over the law.

In a joint statement on Monday after the law was signed, the rights groups denounced a "dangerous and discriminatory" law would further crimp freedoms for civil society under Museveni, whose rule has become increasingly authoritarian since he took power in 1986.

US President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. S You're a lyin' dog-faced pony soldier...
as well as the European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
and UN chief António Guterres
...Portuguese politician and diplomat, ninth Secretary-General of the United Nations. Previously, he was the UN High Commissioner for Refugees between 2005 and 2015. He was the Prime Minister of Portugal from 1995 to 2002 and was the Secretary-General of the Socialist Party from 1992 to 2002. He served as President of the Socialist International from 1999 to 2005. In both a 2012 and 2014 poll, the Portuguese public ranked him as the best Prime Minister of the previous 30 years...
have also slammed the legislation, warning that foreign aid and investment for Uganda could be jeopardised unless the law is repealed.

In 2014, international donors slashed aid to Uganda after Museveni approved a bill that sought to impose life imprisonment for homosexual relations, which was later overturned.

But the latest anti-gay law has enjoyed broad support in the conservative country, where politicians have defended the measures as a necessary bulwark against Western immorality.

"President Museveni urged Ugandans to remain firm, pointing out that the issue of homosexuality is a serious one that concerns the human race," his office said in the statement.

#6  The sooner they buy him out, the sooner he removes the remains of their prime time audience., especially the demographic. Their best hope is for a judge to enforce the non-compete. I don’t think that is likely. They will be employing a legal four corners offense for as long as possible.
