LABUBU: Dolls of the Underworld (5/9/25)

The sudden popularity of Labubu toys has resulted in grown adults lining up in the early morning hours to acquire as many of these little monsters as possible. Although upon first glance they appear sort of cute, closer examination will reveal that their apparent smile is actually a sinister grin with razor sharp teeth. Designed by Hong Kong-born artist Kasing Lung, the toys are sold by Pop Mart in collaboration with the artist and in relation to his 2015 book “The Monsters.” Their increasing popularity is a result of celebrities like Rihanna or Dua Lipa flaunting their own, although the trend began when Blackpink k-pop singer Lisa first was spotted with the keychain in April 2024. Each doll comes in a sealed box with no indication of what’s inside, meaning each purchase is a mystery. Shoppers are notified of a new drop off of the toy at their local stores via WhatsApp. They then rush to the spot, as one Australian article documented, “at 3am.” Put simply, people are lining up during the “witching hour” to buy a mysterious monster in a box after receiving an oddly timed text in the middle of the night. The atmosphere around these toys is similar to any long gone or persisting product, from Furbys and Beanie Babies to Hello Kitty and Pokemon, but there is something else about these little toys that is anything but friendly.The dolls themselves are not really even monsters, but instead more like little children that appear to be possessed and wearing Teletubbies costumes. Like any good marketing campaign, the product page on Amazon describes their various character stores: one of the leaders, zimomo ventures to the human world where he learns yoga and then brings the practice back to his own world in the forest. The monsters are thus more like fairies, and in fact one description reads: “the elves in the forest are curious about the human world. So, the No. 1 curious player LABUBU gathered her friends and secretly came to the city for an adventure. The goal is absolutely not to be discovered by humans!” The forests are described further as “nordic,” which is the mythological nature that was inspiration for the dolls.It’s not just the name zimomo that brings back memories of the Momo Challenge, but the fact that these monsters from another world are essentially being promoted like Momo. Mysterious messages in the middle of the night that prompt half-asleep humans to perform some action - in this case, buy a mysterious box that contains what amounts to a fairy, demon, familiar, or personal spirit charm. This is reminiscent also of the 3am Challenge and the recent Mirror Challenge, where one looks into the mirror for so long they watch their face and reality around them distort. The name LA BU BU is even more telling of an underlying darkness. The LALALOOPSY doll, a girl with no apparent ears, a mouth sewn shut, and black buttons for eyes - something further reminiscent of the movie Carolin where the Beldam Other Mother replaces the girl’s eyes (soul) with buttons to trap her in the other world - is a toy about fanciful play through a sort of loopy “Lala-ness.” The LA BU BU is generally said to refer to the same playfulness, though the word “bubu” is both a euphemism for a child’s injury, and also holds the meaning of grandmother. In other words, LA GRANDMOTHER, the old crone of the forest. She is also known as Momo, Yamamba, the hag, the Hansel and Gretel Witch, or Baba Yaga. She also shares something in common with La Llorona, Ubume, and Banshee.  Perhaps this is all a coincidence, or perhaps Labubu, like Elf on the Shelf, is not something we should be bringing into our homes or carrying with us on our person. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

D.U.MB. & DUMBER (5/8/25)

Catherine Austin Fitts, former assistant secretary of Housing and Urban Development under President George H.W. Bush, recently commented on how the US Government is responsible for $21-Trillion in “unauthorized spending” between 1998 and 2015 alone. This was documented by Mark Skidmore of Michigan State University in 2017. Catherine believes much of it went into “underground base and city infrastructure and transportation systems” that have already been built. A Washington Post article in 2010 documented the Hidden World of a massively complex national security and intelligence network infrastructure built across the country in the wake of 911. But that’s only part of it, and only encompasses the decade between 2001 and 2010 - not to mention the $2.3-Trillion announced missing one day before 911 and the justification to build this infrastructure. It doesn’t include the half a century of public and private construction projects for military command centers like NORAD at Cheyenne Mountain or VIP bunkers under Greenbrier Resort. Some of this is for military control, others for continuity of government, and still others for laboratories perhaps akin to the Hive, or simply for nuclear material storage. In fact NASA just found a decommissioned facility in Greenland that was home to Camp Century and Project Iceworm. All of this spending coupled with authorized military spending adds up to over half of the country’s national debt. Many of these bunkers, command centers, facilities, etc., have price tags that in order to add up to the unauthorized trillions must be beyond vast, they must be numerous beyond what we can conceive. And these facilities are worldwide, likely under the ocean as much as they are buried into mountains. The wealthy are also building their own bunkers toady, some of which are luxury facilities. Then there are facilities built right under our feet and meant for flood preparations, like the G-Cans in Tokyo. There are also reports of odd booms and explosions hear around the world for several decades. Some is probably atmospheric, part is geological, and others are possible a result of these projects. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

I Don't Want to Believe (5/7/25)

Yet another UFO photo is making the rounds, this time courtesy of Lue Elizondo, who received the image form a private pilot. The picture shows what appears to be a large UFO hovering over a field with a large shadow of the craft below. It didn’t take long, however, for the image to be all but officially proven as not just a fake but instead a real picture of nothing more than an irrigation circle in the middle of Colorado. In fact, the location has now been marked on google maps as Lue’s UAP. In defense of the image, Lue said he shared the evidence from a private pilot, who gave an estimate of the supposed object - 600-1,000 feet wide - before doing any vetting whatsoever: “the photo had NOT YET been vetted.” So why share it? Lue says to bring attention to the need for pilots to have a reporting mechanism for real case of UFO contact. So why not just say that from the start? While evidence of this sort is commonplace, and even defended by cult-UFO enthusiasts, there is a mountain of actual evidence from various militaries, governments, and civilians around the world that are unknown except to the most detailed UFO historian. The Calvine UFO photo is a great example of this. Maybe even a CIA report on a KGB report about a UFO incident resulting in soldiers turning to stone. If real, it’s beyond imagination, if fake, it proves what lengths people once went through to hoax. Not anymore. Now all you need is profound ignorance, a willingness to believe anything, and a few con men in the middle to promote it with government approval. This drives many to say, “I actually don’t want to believe anymore.” Perhaps that was the real goal all along. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Racial Hierarchy PT 2 (5/6/25)

In the part 2 episode of “racial hierarchy” we examine which group sits at the very top and is evidently responsible for the social and cultural strife experienced by each successive lower group; who sponsors the degradation of “black culture,” or fuels the racial tensions in society as a whole, or tensions of the religious sort; who promotes wholesale war; who promotes cultural degeneracy; who pushes all of this through the sports, entertainment, music (link 2), etc., they disproportionately control; who opposes free speech, self defense, and legal immigration; who has so much influence and control that cities in states like Texas are required by law to give away their tax dollars (Governor’s letter) to support this group that they are also legally bound to speak only positively about, or require citizens to sign anti-boycott papers to receive natural disaster money; who lies about their own country to the point of justifying televised slaughter. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Racial Hierarchy PT 1 (5/5/25)

Three viral videos are circulating on social media of women making racially charged statements. The women in question are also of three different races, or mixes thereof, one being “white,” another Indian-Fijian, and the last “Chinese.” In all three cases the women use the word “nigger” or “niggah” to describe a person with dark skin. The context is also not provided, as all three videos are under 60 seconds. Based on what is known, one of the videos may even be a stunt to make money, with the woman in question having generated nearly three-quarters of a million dollars in a few days to “help protect my family.”The reaction is the same either way: the entitled use the videos as evidence of their victimhood, while others use them to justify their own raw bigotry. Between these extremes is the question of how the “white supremacist” side deals with a Chinese girl saying something they ultimately agree with, or how the “stop asian hate” side deals with an asian harassing blacks. These extremes neglect three other important details: what does “white” or “black” even mean, why does this take precedent over nearly everything else with one exception in the racial hierarchy, and what the origin of the word “nigger” even is. In case of the latter, the term comes from the Spanish “negro” and Latin “niger.” It was adopted initially to describe the skin of Africans. It later was turned into a slur, and due to accents and dialects became “nigger.” Still later the term changed again for the same reasons into “niggah,” which describes a behavior rather than a physical characteristic. The reality is despite there being a subset of truly raw supremacists in any society, average people tend to dislike a person who is loud, obnoxious, immoral, and disrespectful. This reality also holds that racial slurs, feelings of supremacy, and the like are not only universal, but are not, and should never be, illegal in the United States.

Bombs or Bullet Trains: Anime & the War on Humanity (5/2/25)

Since at least 2019 the United Nations has tried to justify banning anime and manga due to what they consider to be potentially obscene depictions of sexual material related to children. This has failed miserably in the US, Japan, and Australia. In Texas a new bill seeks to do the same, though Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition will likely rule it to be unconstitutional regardless. It’s strange that a product like anime or manga, admittedly open for interpretation - the characters are often part cat or animal, are hyper exaggerated, or are based on kawaii culture - would be targeted instead of actual pornography or actual sex trafficking operations. At least in terms of the publicity and priority. Perhaps the priority is based on something else, like certain groups claiming that such content, including game versions, promotes racial homogeneity and marriage norms. And there it is! While the United States admits it has the ability to “manipulate time and space,” the country still can’t seem to pick up trash, clean subways, build high speed transportation, or fix infrastructure, let alone create anything new. In fact, the implication of scientific-fiction technology from the White House Science adviser might explain where the trillions of missing US dollars go. The thing is the United States maintains its power in the world through fear of war and economics, and by banning and censoring the outside, like China does. The country has lost any moral high ground and certainly any real essence of culture. Perhaps that’s why anime and manga are growing so rapidly in the United States. It’s something unique, different, fresh, and certainly not politically correct. Once again, priorities, because instead of building better cars, trains, infrastructure or even good entertainment, the country sabotages all of that and wastes its money on weapons and war. Even the Internet and GPS, two major contributions from the USA to the world, were invented by DARPA and the DOD - for killing and control. This power, and the power of politics, like Oregon cancelling math and reading requirements for graduation, also keeps the citizens in the dark of an antiquated reality. Much of the technology the country does have doesn’t come from American minds anyways, it comes from Asia and largely from Israel. The county that gives us anime and manga, which is one of the least politically correct in the world, and one of the most conservative, also gives us QR codes, emojis, plastic that dissolves with no microplastics, tornado prediction software that is accurate, super advanced solar panels, bullet trains since 1964, hybrid cars since 1997, laptops, portable music, the novel, navigation systems, and most discs like DVD and CD. It is also a country that when there is widespread technological failure, citizens still voluntarily pay there toll fees because the money actually goes into infrastructure, and because it is a culture of honor and respect. On the other hand, the US state of California has blown through $15.7-billion and failed at constructing a high-speed rail in 2025. The original Shinkansen took only $3-billion US in the 1960s. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.
