Don't Even Try to Play Chess with Disney ~

Once Again,  the Mouse Outmaneuvers Man

 There's so much swirling in my head today....I mean it's hard to pick which channel to watch in the soap opera our world affairs have  become. Let's go global first.

Wanna-be Despots are having a really bad week.

Putin must be mad....his arrogance, violent antics are not even of interest anymore. And with his loosing military actions, he must be growing a significant internal disorder that will assist humanity,  in relieving us of his type of thinking.

Then there's Netanyahu. Give thanks for right thinking Israelis, beginning to come out of the hypnotism of decades of miss-placed fear and ignorant thinking about an Israeli state. Yeah, now you see. It's not the Palestinians that you should be most fearful of, but the thinking within your own culture and leaders. So a Shout-Out to everyone in the streets. Because if we start, with making sure the Judiciary segment of society is free and allowed to function in a wholesome, way, let's hope that that thinking will expand. 

Let's affirm, that this starts a process where  all the people of Israel at home and abroad, realize that it is right to extend full liberty,  justice, participation and freedom, not just to the Israeli judiciary arm, but to all the humanity that dwell on that particular part of our  globe ~ To ensure that all those on that land, living in harmony, before Britain and Europe illegally GAVE land to Zionists, to be rid of them in Europe,....and before greed and hatred infected the minds of Jews that  came to the region~ begin a new fresh experience, that is an inspiration to the global community, and not a disgusting unsustainable testament to the worst qualities in human nature.

And finally...oh yes! The French are sticking it to little Macron. I love it. Thinking he has nothing to loose, because his term as President has run out, thinking he can impose change without any respect for other's thoughts, wishes and desires....Goodness!!! 

That we live in a time when "leaders so misunderstand their role"! Didn't nobody elect you to think for us! You are an instrument of OUR DESIRES. You are to bring into effect what we call upon you to make manifest. Humanity does not need you leaders to tell us and worse, to impose upon us, your wishes and limited, ignorant, and deluded  thinking. Goodness! 

Are you listening DeSantis??? Cause we see this erroneous interpretation of what an elected "leader" is, being acted out on local, state, and national stages.And it doesn't stop there, as we see heads of religious groups battling it out on the local and  a global scale, spilling into politics and governance, ~ declaring their interpretation to be the only one to be adhered to, and followed.

How did we come to this? I thought that that was what democracy and the American Revolution was all about ~ the throwing off a concept of autocracy  in the form of monarchy  and a rich ruling class being all powerful ,~ and committing this nation to ideals of  "liberty, equality, national, religious and civil rights,  and responsible citizenship".

And that brings me to the title of this post....Hopefully, you're aware of DeSantis' childish reaction to the Disney corporation's position on his legislation that is absolutely disrespectful, harmful and unconstitutional, as it relates to segments of the population. Yes I say unconstitutional, because I'm sure at some point in the future...all this type of legislation will be banned and repealed, because if infringes on so many aspects of a human rights.

But much as I hate that corporations now have greater rights than individual citizens, I love their move when it came to DeSantis' trying to harm them, and basically control actions and affairs at the Florida Disney Park.  They made a chess move that was so sweet, that DeSantis and his small-minded cronies and attorneys, didn't even know what hit them.

Checkmate!

In Their Game of Chess, Disney Just Said Checkmate

Ron DeSantis is not a happy camper today. The homophobic Governor of Florida has made it his mission to erase any and all mentions of anything gay in public schools as he wages a fake culture war. Gearing up for a supposed Presidential run the 44-year-old politician proudly declares Florida “woke-free.” The schoolyard bully has sparred with everyone from drag queens to Mickey Mouse these past months.

Well, he is finding out that neither Disney nor the drag queens are sitting back and taking his ridiculous shit. The overzealous former attorney might be completely in shock today as Mickey Mouse and his crew not only clapped back but clapped back harder and louder rendering DeSantis’ hand-picked five-member board completely useless. BOOYAH!


This useless war started when Disney began publicly opposing the infamous Don’t Say Gay bill the wannabe fascist signed into law. According to CBS News,

“In taking on Disney, DeSantis furthered his reputation as a culture warrior willing to battle perceived political enemies and wield the power of state government to accomplish political goals, a strategy that is expected to continue ahead of his potential White House run. The new supervisors replaced a board that had been controlled by Disney during the previous 55 years that the government operated as the Reedy Creek Improvement District. The new board members held their first meeting earlier this month and said they found out about the agreement after their appointments.”


Local ABC News affiliate WFTV notes, “Particular focus was paid to one section that board members said places certain restrictions on the district until 21 years after the death of the last surviving descendant of King Charles, or until Disney abandons the resort.” Finally, a reason for Americans to be interested in the monarchy!

Is there a more fragile ego than that of the straight, white, male Republican? Disney beat the Harvard Law School graduate at his own sketchy, shady game. Could he have seen this coming? Just last week Disney announced they will host the largest LGBTQ conference promoting queer rights in the workplace this September. Disney has been in Florida decades before DeSantis and they will be there long after he is gone.

THIS IS OUR HOUSE said every Disney princess to the GOP hellbent on destruction.

One of the appointed board members vows to fight back and regain control. Brian Aungst said, “We’re going to have to deal with it and correct it. It’s a subversion of the will of the voters and the Legislature and the governor. It completely circumvents the authority of this board to govern.” Good luck with that.

Disney is stepping up, and going above and beyond for our community and for all Americans. DeSantis leads with hate and fear. On the opposite end of the spectrum is Disney — the happiest place on Earth. We need to choose happiness over hate and fear. Always.


 

 

Do I think it’s a good thing that Disney is demonstrably more powerful than the Governor of the 3rd largest state? No.
