Maleficent: Blurring the Lines between Good and Evil? Twisting Another FairyTale?

Tuesday, October 29, 2019 19:40
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


[Book from Joseph M. Lenard TERROR STRIKES:
http://terrorstrikes.info / http://terrorstrikes.info/synopsis / http://terrorstrikes.info/about-the-book
Despite the main topic subject-matter: This is NOT a book about death, but one about LIFE (and Living) and of those (foreign (terror strikes) and domestic(Liberals supporting slaughter of unborn)) that would deprive others of that Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness.
PLUS how Christianity is under assault by not just GIJIAS but THE US LEFT also]

I just came from the Theater after seeing MALEFICENT: MISTRESS OF EVIL and it is important to get my thoughts down right-away. Now, DO NOT JUMP TO WHAT YOU THINK ARE OBVIOUS CONCLUSIONS – Please read the whole Article, then (of course, as always) I will Welcome your thoughts!!

 
Well, let’s get the obvious one out of the Way! YES, twisting (re-writing) another FairyTale (which they often do to WARP the original intent and Moral(s) of the Story)!!
 
Also, I must immediately point out two things. NO, I’m NOT A FAN OF DISNEY CORP (I think Walt is spinning in his Grave much of the time) these Days! The reasons are several fold, and NOT AT ALL what I’m going to go into here! NO, I am also NOT FOND OF MAKING HEROES OF VILLAINS (blurring the Lines between Good and Evil)!
 
The Left, that includes the very Political (if not just cursory notice of their Political Correctness, but it goes way beyond that (but, again, NOT what I’m here speaking to today)) Disney Corp, never-ending attempts to TWIST, Faith, Religion, and more directly related in this case CHILDREN’S STORIES (the most egregious being the ROBIN HOOD story – related, see: http://rattlewithus.ning.com/profiles/blogs/greater-good) to peddle LeftWing, Socialist/Communist, Politics under the guise of Entertainment (attempting subliminal Indoctrination)!
 
Now, finally, having said all that, to the movie!
 
Are there still “issues” that I have with the Movie: YES! Are there still things I would CRITICIZE about the Movie: YES! But, as most of you are Friends in Christ reading this — it is difficult to NOT praise an ultimate message/moral of LOVE CONQUERS HATE! Yes, of course, we Live in the REAL WORLD and Love does NOT Win every Battle over Hate!! We all know, in the End, GOD’S ARMY WILL INDEED HAVE ULTIMATE TRIUMPH OVER EVIL/HATE! This Movie, again, hard to fault, A LOVE OVER HATE message!
 
MALEFICENT – Good? Evil? IT’S COMPLICATED! And that is a VERY REAL MESSAGE!
 
REALITY IS that ALL GOD’S CREATURES are basically in-between. Aside from PURE EVIL, THE DEVIL (and remember, didn’t start that way) ALL GOD’S CREATURES, whether it be by Nature, NURTURE, or combination there-of, are a MIX! We ALL FALL SHORT OF GOD’S PURE LOVE, GRACE, AND DESIRE FOR US TO BE GOOD! Some are clearly farther down the Scale (90%) of Evil/Bad, while others farther up the Scale (90%, at least attempting to be) toward that of Loving and Good! Even THE RIGHTEOUS RECOGNIZE THAT WAR (AN EVIL, IS SOMETIMES A NECESSARY EVIL TO VANQUISH EVIL/BAD)!!!
 
Now for the clear CONTROVERSIAL COMMENTS (bound to get push-back, but think about it in terms of the SCALE). Recently in the News: the #WaPo Headline regarding the Death of AL-BAGHDADI and the obvious push-back they got and the Mocking retorts on Twitter to glorify Hitler’s, Mao’s, Stalin’s, Che’s, Mussolini’s, etc… Deaths by (again, mockingly, but NOT WITHOUT A VALID POINT) of some of the positive aspects/nature that many of their Followers seen in those CLEARLY EVIL LEADERS!!
 
AL-BAGHDADI had Children. I have NO DOUBT, in his twisted, evil, Mind did honestly LOVE HIS CHILDREN (to at least some degree). It has to, though, and obviously, him being down the Scale more toward 90% EVIL, cared more about his HATE, and his COWARDICE, that he BLEW UP HIS CHILDREN ALONG WITH HIMSELF when cornered rather than SURRENDER (he didn’t Love his Children enough to want to spare their Lives but rather his CONSUMPTION OF HATE OF OTHERS and desire to not allow his enemies potentially get info from him (which, we did/are anyway, based upon all the Intelligence items we recovered from his Caves) to want to perpetuate his Army of Hate and Violence they have planned going forward)! He chose his HATE over his Love of/for his Children! EVIL!!! And necessary that WE GOOD MEN must engage in War (Death, KILLING which we all recognize as WRONG (except in Self Defense or)) these LIMITED actions to fight/destroy EVIL!!
 
And, to again address the Converse of the Rare Good in someone Evil (some “weak moments”of GOOD PEOPLE)…. Don’t tell me you haven’t seen even the BEST OF GOOD FOLKS YOU KNOW potentially, maybe only in Private, SHOW A MEAN-STREAK?!?! Even the Best of Folks GET ANGRY, have moments of WEAKNESS, (again, even if only a minor/brif fit of Rage/Anger), perhaps feel Envy/Jealousy, want retribution/vengeance (yes, of course, that is FINE when we are Talking about wanting JUSTICE for someone wronged/aggrieved), etc….
 
So, again, in conclusion, to bring it back to MALEFICENT: MISTRESS OF EVIL and/or Movies in general, it (as a Christian) difficult to denounce a Film that ultimately (though, yes, still flawed in many ways) delivers a LOVE OVER HATE message and REDEMPTION! As Christians we “SHOULD” want and Hope that even the worst of the worst find REDEMPTION! We are commanded to PRAY FOR OUR ENEMIES, and this Film (as anti-Christian Disney often is) makes the point of WHY WE MUST PRAY FOR OUR ENEMIES in the Hopes that they can FIND CHRIST (or, in this case, the basic/generic sense: GOOD) and turn from their Evil ways!

————- MON SEP 27 2021 UPDATE….

If your response to the known #VoterFraud in 2020 is to SIT OUT 2022, THEN YOU ARE A #MORON! We must turn-out in such overwhelming numbers, that they cannot even STEAL THE NEXT ELECTION trying to Cheat. But why would they Cheat, if #MORONS won’t #GOTV, they can Win w/o #Fraud. #SpecialKindOfSTUPID

 

Let’s just pretend that 160M people did vote in last Election, there are 330Mish #USCitizens in USA (but, yes, of course, not all are of age to Vote)… It is reported that between 50-60% OF ALL CHRISTIANS are STILL NOT VOTING (most of which are Conservatives, likely Constitutionalists, except for the FAKE CHRISTIANS like Biden, Pelosi, et al (see related: http://tinyurl.com/SomeTwistJesusWords))! There are PLENTY of Folks that HAVE NOT GOT OFF THEIR ASSES YET and are still part of the Problem.

As the Canadian Rock group RUSH tune says: If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice —- or, let me add: allowed one to be FORCED UPON YOU!

STOP THE STUPID, GET OFF YOUR ASSES – NOT ONLY JUST VOTE, BUT BE ACTUALLY POLITICALLY ACTIVE 365 days/year, EVERY YEAR (not just Election years) OR THE FASCICRATS AND RINOs WILL ALWAYS HAVE THEIR WAY!!!

STOP THE STUPID, GET OFF YOUR ASSES!
YOU, if YOU are already involved, MUST BECOME EVEN MORE INVOLVED.
YOU must BE A DELEGATE, REGST OTHER CONSERVATIVES TO VOTE AND BE PREPARED TO ENCOURAGE THEM AND EVEN HELP OFFER TO DRIVE THEM TO POLLS ON ELECTION DAY OR POSSIBLY BE A POLL INSPECTOR YOURSELF (to prevent Fraud at the Polls, INSPECTOR NOT POLL CHALLENGER)!

It is OFFICIAL, my new ” #ChristiTutionalist #Politics ” #Podcast is NOW #LIVE. 

https://www.buzzsprout.com/2210487

“ChristiTutionalist Politics” S1-E1 “Welcome to the new Show – Introductions”
This S1E1 will be an “introductory” episode and a little about me and this likely to be “Seinfeld-esque” (one Sat. about something serious, the next Sat. (yes, weekly to start slowly, dropping Saturdays (originally as announced Monthly)) maybe about nothing important at all. I’m open to hearing from you (via JosephMLenard.us CONTACT tab) w/ comments/suggestions. Many times I’ll be going over my TheLibertyBeacon or BeforeItsNews artciles topics, “Savaged Unfiltered” podcast I co-host (“the BIG SHOW” to this little “humble-beginnings” show/start), my books, or whatever!
