For decades, Disney had effectively seemingly controlled the board designed to oversee its own properties. Until DeSantis stepped in recently and put a stop to it. Now a new report from the replacement board has shown just how corrupt Disney’s arrangement was. And how both entities took advantage of taxpayers to foot the bill for their cozy relationship.

The report found that Disney had promised to build services including hospitals, schools and libraries as part of their obligations under their special governing arrangement. Sure enough, they built none of it. It also described what Disney had achieved as essentially an “absolute monarchy” over the Florida property.

Disney is the New Enron​

The Devil Mouse has been very, very, very naughty. But instead of getting coal in its stocking this Christmas season, it’s getting an audit of the Reedy Creek Improvement District by the State of Florida, and almost certainly, the IRS, as the Dark Herald explains how and why the wolves are circling CEO Bob Iger.

It was the taxman that got Al Capone eventually, looks like Disney might be going the same way, Hopefully.

I never tire of reflecting on that slice of wisdom.
Zappa would know of course. He was one of the illusion makers. The book - 'weird scenes inside the canyon', is a big eye opener, as regards the manufacture of entertainment for control purposes. A military operation. Zappa and others came from strong military and intelligence backgrounds.

Thanks for the heads up on that, might get myself a copy.

It's informative, but not very well written. I believe it may have been a series of articles before getting to book form. But the presence of endless money, access to fancy homes and intelligence operatives is fascinating

And of course, we now know who controls the US military, based on recent events.

The military utility, as regards Hollywood's role in secularizing the culture, becomes more obvious as a vector for making post-Christian support for Israel's actions more acceptable, versus a western world/culture that is still Christian, and would consider the Holy Land a Christian site, primarily .

For where the religions spirit is not tolerated, where there is no room for poetry and art, where love and death are robbed of all significant effect and reduced to the level of a banality, philosophy will never prosper. -Pieper
Who's Pieper and what kind of waffle is that?
