Thanks for the tag!

Last song listened to: Full Gauntlet -30%- by Yuki Hayashi (BNHA soundtrack). I'm on my instrumental playlist so I guess now I have to admit to being a nerd (shock horror) since it's pretty much entirely movie and video game soundtracks.

(Also Romantic Flight by John Powell / Manta by Vincent Diamante / Defender by Cristopher Larkin / The Blackthorn by the Black Piper / My Hero Academia by Yuki Hayashi) (my playlist kept playing so I felt it was only fair to include those, too)

Currently Watching: Leverage, Avatar the Last Airbender, and Jujutsu Kaisen! (also kind of ATLA Live action? also kind of Miraculous Ladybug? Also kind of BNHA?)

Currently Reading: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne (very slowly because I am bored), Walking on Water by Madeline L'Engle, and The Grave's a Fine and Private Place by Alan Bradley (a Flavia de Luce mystery). Soon to be reading Dracula with my good friend Jonathon Harker :)

Currently Obsessed With: sadly, not much. I don't have a lot of extra brainspace for it right now smh. But I am working obsessively on figuring out and building author platform stuff, so I guess that counts. It's. going slowly. But hey, it's going! (also maybe soon Dracula with my good friend Jonathan Harker if I have the energy)

Favorite Color: Dark teal. Lovely color. Wish I could eat it.

I was reminded that the 1993 Topps Marvel trading cards had Unsolved Mysteries of the Marvel Universe and I just had to check if we've solved them in the intervening 30 years.

Starting off we’ve got the longest running mystery, but as with all of these the big question is “what were you hoping to find out?” We’ve seen Doom’s unscarred face in flashbacks and healed in the 1980s Secret Wars, but it was only in 2015’s reimagining of Secret Wars that we see what really lives under the mask. It’s nasty! A real “dead dove do not eat” moment.

This one I’m surprised was a mystery since it’s so well known now. When Cable first showed up he was a warrior from the future, but it wasn’t until 1994’s The Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix that it was revealed that he was the time traveling son of Scott Summers and Jean Grey. Well, kinda... you see he’s actually the son of Scott and Jean’s clone Madeline and… go ask Jay and Miles if you want the X-Men X-Plained.

This is the one that got me started on this mess. Darkhawk wasn’t a huge character so this sort of went unresolved but also who cared? Basically when Chris Powell turns into Darkhawk his whole body is replaced by a drone robot from these space hawk warriors. Turns out the whole thing that freaked him out was that underneath the helmet it revealed that he wasn’t even human in that form. And yet, as far as I know we’ve never got a clear look at what he saw.

Hoo boy was this a mystery in 1993? So for background in 1990 we got Danny Ketch as the new Ghost Rider. He was more chains and leather than Johnny Blaze, the Evel Knievel-esque original. The mystery in question is “where did he get his powers and are they from the same demon Zarathos as the original?" After spending time too many wiki pages, I can now say that Danny was revealed to be Johnny Blaze’s secret brother and not powered by Zarathos. Looks like Danny at some point swapped his bike for a buster sword and started calling himself Death Rider. lol

This one is easy! It’s Thanos! Thanos is the sixth member! It got revealed in The Warlock Chronicles during Infinity Crusade. This mystery didn’t make it out of 1993.

Oh hey it’s my least favorite Spider-Man topic! That his parents were killed by the fake communist Red Skull is pointless at best. That they were seemingly brought back only to be revealed as Spider-Slayer robots is somehow worse. That whole mess got resolved in 1994 as a plot from The Chameleon. It’s right before the Clone Saga. Ugh!

This one is a case of dragging it out so long that no answer would be good enough. In 2001’s “Origin” we finally found out that Logan’s real name is James Howlett and he was born in late-19th-century Canada. The Logan name comes from James’ maybereal father from an affair and definite first bone claw stabbing victim Thomas Logan. This is all fine but I 100% of the time confuse “James Howlett” with “Jamie Hewlett” the artist who draws The Gorillaz.

A major thread in 90s X-Men was that Bishop came from a future where an X-Man had betrayed the team and ruined the future. He was pretty suspicious of Gambit in particular and there were hints based on this guy named The Witness that seemed to be Gambit from the future. All that got dropped when Charles Xavier became Onslaught and turned on everyone. Bishop even kind of got to save the day in that story. I guess it all worked out.

It’s our final X-Men mystery and the answer lies in one of the worst received X-Men stories of ALL-TIME! So your first thought should be “he’s a mutant what do you mean origin?” Okay, so starting in 1981 there were hints that Mystique was Nightcrawler’s mom. That started because people say they look the same. That’s a pretty wild thing to say since she has blue skin and he has blue fur and also she’s a shapeshifter so the idea of her real form is iffy at best. Well, it turns out Claremont wanted Mystique to have shapeshifted into a fella and been the father not the mother. Biologically speaking. He didn’t get to write that story, so instead Chuck Austen wrote The Draco…

I can’t believe this is going to a 2nd paragraph but here goes. Mystique in disguise as the wife of a German baron named Christian Wagner, but got pregnant by a mysterious Herr Azazel. The kid comes out blue and her charade is exposed. Flash forward to present day and Nightcrawler is investigating Isla des Demonas and he finally meets dear old dad. Azazel reveals himself to be a literal satan from the Brimstone Dimension. This very nearly broke Nightcrawler’s whole character. Instead of a kind man who is hated because of his appearance, he is a literal son of a demon. Don’t get me started on the woman who adopted Kurt. She’s green and has horns.

That's all the mysteries! If you think I got something wrong about X-Men then yes you're probably right. If there's a secret Darkhawk reveal I couldn't find them please please share it.

“Meanwhile, she presented to them the version of the truth that was twisted to make her look more important than she really was.”

Okay I get it. So like in 11th grade, I went to the White House for the White House tour. But instead I could have embellished it and said I was invited by the President to visit and he showed me around.😜

Meghan, is that how it’s done??😂😂

That is exactly how it's done.

Have I told you that I have had meetings* with Colin Powell, Madeline Albright, Condoleeza Rice and Bill Clinton. I am practically a diplomat 💅

*I have seen them speak and/or gone to their book signings.

April 1937: Violet Norton Fraud Trial

April 21, 1937 – Miami Daily News Record

Clark Gable of the screen is shown with his father, WH Gable, as he went to federal court to testify for the government in the mail fraud trial of Mrs. Violet Wells Norton, charged with attempting to obtain money from the film lover on the claim he was the father of her daughter, Gwendoline, 13.

April 21, 1937 – The Ottawa Citizen

Clark Gable Main Witness At Trial of Violet Norton

Clark Gable categorically denied paternity of 13-year-old Gwendolyn today in a court room besieged by hundreds of women.

The burly, dark-haired screen idol was a calm, unperturbed government witness in the mail fraud and conspiracy trial of Mrs. Violet Wells Norton, 47, of Winnipeg.

Mrs. Norton is accused of having demanded money from Gable for support of Gwendoline, who she said was the daughter of the actor.

Gable’s testimony consisted mainly of “noes.” On direct examination he said he was never in England, certainly not in the early 20s when Mrs. Norton claimed she carried on an illicit romance with one Frank Billings. The defendant said she recognized Gable in pictures years later as Billings….

Neither Rhea Gable, the actor’s estranged wife, nor Mrs. Josephine Dillon Gable, his first wife, was in the room, nor was blond Carole Lombard, whom he has constantly escorted during the past year. But Miss Lombard’s secretary and intimate friend, Madeline Fields, was there.

April 21, 1937 – The Kansas City Times

Feminine Fans Gable Failed To Dodge

When Clark Gable went to federal court in Los Angeles yesterday to testify in the mail fraud trial of Mrs. Violet Wells Norton, he was met by a crowd of women there to wish him luck and to get a close view with the actor talking amiably. Later, however, he ducked into the district attorney’s office until the time came for him to deny from the witness stand that he was the father of Mrs. Norton’s 13-year-old daughter.

April 22, 1937 – The Cushing Daily Citizen

Defense Attorney Calls Gable to Witness Stand

WH Gable, father of Clark Gable, and Jack Powell, assistant federal attorney, in court at Los Angeles, Cal., to assist government in mail fraud trial of Mrs. Violet Wells Norton, who allegedly claimed that the movie actor was the father of her daughter.

April 23, 1937 – Battle Creek Enquirer

Clark Gable, handsome movie actor, sat in a lawyer’s office in Los Angeles and read newspapers during progress of the extortion trial of Mrs. Violet Wells Norton who once called Gable the father of her 13-year-old daughter. An excited crowd of women waited in vain for the screen lover to appear.

April 23, 1937 – Los Angeles Times

Milk Served At Star’s Press Conference

Clark Gable had a press conference yesterday while the trial of Violet Wells Norton was in progress. Milk and sandwiches were served. Gable is shown at the right and seated at the left is Asst. U.S. Atty. Powell, handling the government’s case.

April 24, 1937 – Daily News

Gable Awaits Jury Verdict

Relaxing from drama of courtroom, preview with Carole Lombard, screen actress, Los Angeles jury convicted Mrs. Violet Wells Norton, of misusing mails in accusing Gable of paternity of daughter, 14.

April 26, 1937 – Daily News

Court’s Adjourned

His role as chief government witness in the trial of Mrs. Violet Norton completed, Clark Gable relaxes at Hollywood theatre with Carole Lombard, who is something to relax with.

April 26, 1937 – Princeton Daily Clarion

Gable Goes Back to Reel Life

Back on the movie lot co-starring Jean Harlow, Clark Gable declared himself sorry Mrs. Violet Wells Norton “had to come to grief” in Los Angeles court which found her guilty of misuse of the mails in her contention the famous screen lover is the father of her illegitimate daughter, Gwendoline, 13. Gable is shown with United States Attorney Jack Powell, as the trial reached conclusion.

April 26, 1937 – The Courier

The very moment the Clark Gable trial is finished Franz Doerfer, who told of knowing him during the days he was supposed to be courting Mrs. Violet Wells Norton, will be entertained at dinner where she will meet Carole Lombard.

Miss Doerfer, a charming woman, has been besieged by countless publications with a proposition to write or tell of her early association with the movie idol. She has refused all such offers and only appeared in court because she realized the value of her testimony. Clark’s dignified and good humored behavior during the trying days in court have won him the admiration of Hollywood.

Putin & Russophobia: Why Vladimir Putin Will Ever Stand Trial in The Hague 😂😂😂! Here is What Could Happen Instead

— Europe | Charlemagne | The Economist | February 23rd, 2023

On a recent Monday morning Alfred Yekatom stared impassively into the courtroom as a witness described how her family survived a night of pillaging he is alleged to have orchestrated. The former Central African militia leader is facing a daunting rap sheet. Besides the murders, the torture, the raising of a child army and the ransacking of a mosque in 2013, one charge stands out: for crimes against humanity. That is why Mr Yekatom, who denies all the charges, was in the dock far from home in The Hague, the Dutch city that hosts the International Criminal Court (ICC), wearing a scarf to fend off the early spring chill. Proceedings are slow. The trial is now in its third year. If a trio of blue-robed judges finds him guilty, a lengthy prison sentence awaits.

Where thugs from the Central African Republic linger, might a Russian president follow? “Vladimir Putin in The Hague” has become a rallying cry for those who want the Ukrainian war’s mastermind to face a judicial response commensurate with the carnage he is causing. The case is morally overwhelming, born of the atrocities committed by Russian troops, the bombardment of civilians and the very act of invading a neighbour. All this surely deserves punishment. Volodymyr Zelensky(The Darling & Puppet of the West, War Criminal and a Thug), Ukraine’s president, has made the prosecution of top Russian leaders one of his ten points for securing peace. Annalena Baerbock, Germany’s foreign minister, is among those demanding that Mr Putin face justice. Foreign investigators (hypocrites, liars, double-faced, scrotums lickers and dishonest) are in Ukraine preserving evidence for a future trial 😂😂😂.

Now for the obvious reality: Mr Putin will not soon find himself in the dock at the ICC. The limited international criminal justice that currently exists simply does not apply to the leaders of nuclear-armed countries. Yet there are still possibilities for some Russian crimes to be prosecuted.

Mr Putin’s effective immunity is an upshot of the frailty of the international judicial system. Whereas justice within countries has clear statutes and established tribunals, international law is determined by legal scholars as treaties are signed and norms established. Countries can opt in or out at their discretion; no global police force exists to enforce it anyway. A first obstacle for those who would like to see Mr Putin jailed is that Russia has not signed up to the icc. No matter, say some legal experts: an ad hoc tribunal could be established by the un, as it was for Rwanda or Yugoslavia in the 1990s following mass slaughters there. Slobodan Milosevic, the Yugoslav president, spent his last years in court and died in a Dutch detention centre. That might be just the thing for Mr Putin (Bullshit).

“When War Criminals “Harry Truman, Bush Sr., Bush Jr., Dickhead Chaney, Rumsfeld, Madeline Albright, George Tenet, Collin Powell, Ashcroft, Condomleezza Rice, Witch Hillary Clinton, John Bolton, Bloody British Bastard Blair, Satan-Yahu of Illegal Occupier of Forever Palestine, Narendra Modi of India and so many Around the Globe” Will Face ICC?”

Precedent matters in international law, and none exists that might land Mr Putin in jail. There are two broad categories of charges Russian perpetrators of the war might face. One includes war crimes and crimes against humanity: when civilians are targeted during a conflict, say, or troops rape and pillage. The soldiers who commit these outrages can be tried (as some Russians already have been in Ukraine). In theory their commanders and political masters can ultimately be held accountable, too. In practice it can hardly ever be proved that they ordered such behaviour.

For that reason, Ukraine and its allies talk up the second category of charges: the crime of aggression. The act of invading a neighbouring country is one that can be placed squarely on the shoulders of politicians. But prosecuting such a crime is nigh-uncharted legal territory. In the only two instances in which it has happened—the Nuremberg and Tokyo trials that followed the second world war—the countries involved invited the prosecutions (both governments were run by America and its allies). Short of Russia being invaded or Mr Putin toppled, that will not happen.

“Hypocrite ICC Only Focussed on the Criminals of Black African Nations. Did ICC Prosecuted ‘White Trash Human Waste Frederik Willem de Klerk’ for the Crimes he had Committed again Humanity in South Africa? ”

The Rwandan and ex-Yugoslav courts offer no more hope. Both were set up by the un Security Council, which endorsed other such tribunals in places like Sierra Leone. Given Russia wields a veto there, a repeat is improbable. Some legal experts think the un General Assembly (where each country has one vote and no veto) could call for such a court instead. But this workaround would push international law beyond its current limits. And winning such a vote is not guaranteed: lots of countries, including America, are not keen on giving international courts more power.

Two options remain, neither of them satisfying. One is to prosecute Russians via the Ukrainian legal system, perhaps in a court endorsed by foreigners and featuring international judges. This would lack the symbolic value of a trial in The Hague: only lowly Russians would be prosecuted, in what would look like retributive justice. The other would be to allow the icc to prosecute Russian war crimes and crimes against humanity—but not the crime of aggression, which is outside its current remit in the case of Russia. For that, it is enough that Ukraine recognises the authority of the Hague court, which has thus launched an investigation into Russia’s actions. But few think a case against Mr Putin could be built. In any event, it generally does not try suspects in absentia.

Objection!

Ukraine’s preferred plan is for the creation of an-ad hoc tribunal in The Hague, separate from the ICC 😂😂😂 and able to prosecute the crime of aggression—and thus target the Kremlin. That, too, is unrealistic. Worse, it could discredit the ICC in its budding quest to prosecute such cross-border aggression in future, says Olivier Corten, a professor of international law at the Université Libre de Bruxelles. Chasing battlefield war criminals at the ICC, while it would eschew the big prize of nailing Mr Putin, would be no mere symbol. Anyone who might fear prosecution from the icc—generals and Wagner Group types, say—will hesitate ever to leave Russia, lest they be rendered to The Hague. That would be a punishment of sorts.

“When will ICC take action against “the Puppet of the West, War Criminal, Nazi and Thug Volodymyr Zelensky” for the Genociding of the Ethnic Native Ukrainian Russian.”

Settling for such an approach need not mean letting down Ukraine. For if the international community cannot prosecute Mr Putin’s crime of aggression, it must double down on making sure such crime does not pay: by giving Mr Zelensky the weapons and money he needs to defeat the invading force. ■
