November 2019 to present. There's about a season and a half worth of really good TV in this speculative fiction series, co-created by Ron Moore (of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA and DEEP SPACE NINE fame), Matt Wolpert, and Ben Nedivi, which postulates a world where the Soviets beat the U.S. to the moon in 1969 and thus keep the space race running strong for decades afterward. Unfortunately, FOR ALL MANKIND is now in its fourth season, and its smattering of interesting and sometimes stirring moments remain mired in frustratingly erratic pacing (especially in the third season), an aggravating amount of truly shameless melodrama, and character conflicts that are too often driven by contrivance rather than personality.

The strongest moments are near the beginning, where the Soviet landing of a female cosmonaut on the moon triggers a frantic scramble to put an American woman into space — a storyline that also serves as a tribute to real-life pilot Jerrie Cobb (fictionalized as Molly Cobb and played by Sonya Walger, second from left below), who died in 2019 — and the political recriminations about the American space program's supposed timidity snowball into a series of deadly accidents.

If you like movies like THE RIGHT STUFF and APOLLO 13, the premise is hard to resist, but the further the show gets from the period where it begins, the clumsier it gets, and the more facile its simple-minded politics become. (The first season's apologia for Wernher von Braun's use of Nazi slave labor was quite bad enough, but did the second season really need to valorize Ronald Reagan? In what universe was it defensible for the third season to have Don't Ask, Don't Tell invented by a closeted lesbian Republican and her awful closeted beard husband, or to make the show's obvious Melon Usk pastiche a self-made Black billionaire (played by Edi Gathegi) whose family is from Kenya, rather than a wealthy white South African whose popularity and predatory impulses are inseparable from that background? Why does the show's vision of the Soviet Union more closely resemble the 1982 Clint Eastwood techno-thriller FIREFOX than the historical USSR?) The show also never really recovers from the eventual loss of key members of the original ensemble, in particular Gordo and Tracy Stevens (Michael Dorman and Sarah Jones, pictured above center), who depart at the end of the second season.

A central dilemma with FOR ALL MANKIND is that the storyline covers four decades of alternate history, and the terrible pacing and frequent time-skips make it difficult to sustain any kind of emotional connection to the characters. Even if you're really invested in certain characters' relationships, you have to resign yourself to the fact that they may only have one scene together once every 15 or 20 years of story time — and in the meantime, you'll have to put up with a depressing amount of Ed Baldwin (Joel Kinnaman) being insufferable to Danielle Poole (Krys Marshall), who has the misfortune of being one of this very white show's only recurring Black characters. The current season, set in the early '00s, is still struggling for a coherent story direction, suggesting the series may be running out of gas.

I dunno — I really liked this show at its outset, but the longer it goes on, the harder it becomes to accept its many flaws, and the current season has repeatedly made me wonder why I'm still bothering.

The yankees seeing irish reaction and sentiment to the ongoing genocide in Palestine really warranting a fucking history lesson, yet again, to dispel their ignorance because they think that we either jumped onto the bandwagon for clout or think "irish problems have nothing to do with Palestine???"

A primer, for ye fucks

Since apparentl a tonne dont bother looking into the depths of the Sykes-Picot agreement and Balfour Decleration and how the enactment of these two things was done literally during the irish war of Independance and architechetured by the same people constantly trying to shoot and beat us into not existing as a people anymore.

How many of ye would have known that Ronald Storrs literally described the intent for the creation of a Zionist state as a "little loyal jewish Ulster" as a ethnonationalist loyalist outpost in the middle east for Britain to use as a source of support and force to leech resources out of the local populus. They literally modelled their plans of the plantation of Ulster where they effectively tried to exterminate irish people in the North and was the foundation for 500 years of nonstop coloniser oppression

Or worse. How following the war of Independance, the brits sent the literal Black and Tans, Churchills own personal pet project designed to let pscopathic lunativs roam Ireland freely with the only mission being to beat, burn, murder and terrorist civilians. Not the IRA. Civilians. They were enlisted right out of the RIC and Auxs and transferred right into Palestine to do the exact same thing to native palestinian communities

This solidarity between us isnt some new shit. We were the brits fucking petri dish to experiment and run all their initial colonial methods on that they then suplanted into the middle east and were then inherited by the planter state bombing civilians and treating palestinians like cattle now

So if I hear another american say some stupid shit about how theres no paralleles between us or reason for us to feel such a deep empathy for whats happening, Im going to punch a hole in a brick wall

[mimosita]

After the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in World War I, Britain was given administrative control over the area then known as Palestine. Britain’s foreign secretary at the time, Arthur James Balfour — who was previously Britain’s chief secretary for Ireland, and known for his sometimes brutal suppression of Irish demands for independence — had laid out his country’s support for “the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people” in the Balfour Declaration of 1917.

[...]

British officials have drawn their own parallels between the Irish and the Palestinians. Ronald Storrs, who was governor of Jerusalem from 1917 to 1926, wrote in his memoir that if enough Jewish people moved to Palestine, it could “form for England a ‘little loyal Jewish Ulster’ in a sea of potentially hostile Arabism” — a reference to English settlers who were sent to Northern Ireland in what became known as the “plantation of Ulster.”

ROTHSCHILDS CRIME SYNDICATE ZIONIST CAUSED WW I AND THE MASS MURDER OF TENS OF THOUSANDS OF AMERICAN BOYS AND ALSO FORCED THE BALFOUR DECLARATION TO ROB PALESTINE OF ITS HOMELAND | Concise Politics -- Your Time should NOT be wasted.

THE CORRUPTION OF THE TERM 'GNOSTIC ILLUMINATOR', WHICH WAS STOLEN BY A GROUP OF FINANCIAL CRIMINALS AND RE-SPUN AS THE ILLUMINATI OF MODERN DAY CONSPIRACIES.

PART ONE

EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU FOLLOW THE MONEY TRAIL IT LEADS BACK TO THE LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION, THE MONEY CHANGERS, THE MODERN DAY PHARISEES, THE FREE STATE BANKERS. HERE IS THE KICKER, THE VATICAN BANK IS ONE OF THE FREE STATE BANKS, SO IF ANYBODY IS UNDER THE ILLUSION THAT THIS HAS ONLY TO DO WITH MODERN MAINSTREAM FOLLOWERS OF JUDAISM, THINK AGAIN. SOME OF THE DOCUMENTS THAT OUTLINE THE PLANS OF THE LEARNED ELDERS SAY THAT THEY WILL ABSOLUTELY THROW ALL THE MAINSTREAM FOLLOWERS OF JUDAISM COMPLETELY UNDER THE BUS WITHOUT THINKING TWICE TO SAVE THEMSELVES AND FURTHER THEIR AGENDA. SO THIS IS A GROUP PULLING THE STRINGS OF BOTH JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY, AND GOODNESS KNOWS WHAT ELSE. SOME SAY THAT THE LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION ARE REALLY JUST THE SAME SHADY GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT PULLED THE STRINGS OF THE ROMAN GOVERNMENT AND RAN THE SHOW BEHIND THE SCENES, TRYING TO ORCHESTRATE A MODERN-DAY ROMAN EMPIRE WITHOUT CALLING IT "ROME", SO AS NOT TO ALARM PEOPLE AND STAY OFF THE RADAR. ANOTHER SUPPOSITION IS THAT THESE ARE THE GENUINE EVIL MAGICIANS OF HISTORY, USING CARNAL TRICKS, MANIPULATIONS, AND SCIENCES INVOLVING BLOOD DRINKING AND CANNIBALISM, TO GIVE THEMSELVES SUPERNATURAL POWERS AND INFLUENCE. ALSO, THIS IS NOT ABOUT BEING RICH OR POOR EITHER. THE LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION REFER TO THE WEALTHY PEOPLE OF THE LAND THAT THEY INTEND TO USURP AS THE GOYIM ARISTOCRACY. AGAIN I MUST MAKE REFERENCE TO THE ILLUMINATI INSIDER RONALD BERNARD WHO HAS STEPPED FORWARD AND GIVEN HIS PUBLIC TESTIMONY ABOUT MANY OF THESE THINGS, INCLUDING THE LEARNED ELDERS OF ZIONS MURDER OF CHILDREN DURING RITUALS SO THAT THEY CAN POTENTIALLY EXTRACT AND DRINK THEIR BLOOD FOR CHEMICALS THAT THEY BELIEVE WILL PRY OPEN THEIR CHOKRAS IN AN UNNATURAL WAY VIA DMT AND ADRENOCHROME, AND GIVE THEM SUPERNATURAL POWERS.

THERE IS A REASON WHY THEY DON'T WANT TO ACTIVATE AND OPEN THEIR CHAKRAS LEGITIMATELY AND NATURALLY, AND IT IS BECAUSE PART OF WHAT THEY ARE IS BASED ON THEM DISCONNECTING FROM NATURE ITSELF SO THEY CAN AS ELEMENTS OF CHAOS ORCHESTRATE THEIR EVIL AND DESTRUCTIVE SCHEMES TO BENEFIT THEMSELVES AND GIVE THEM MATERIAL GAIN, ETC. A BIG PART OF THE WORK OF MYSELF WITH THE PEOPLE AND FORCES I REPRESENT HAS BEEN TO WIN A FREQUENCY WAR THAT WILL MAKE IT SO THAT EVEN IF THEY DO PRY OPEN THEIR CHAKRAS, IT WILL GIVE THEM NO BENEFIT BECAUSE THE SIDE OF GOODNESS STILL CONNECTED WITH NATURE WILL FULLY CONTROL THE ENTIRE SPECTRUM OF FREQUENCIES. IN MY SECOND POST WITH THIS SERIES I WILL BE INCLUDING THE ENTIRE ILLUMINATI CFR TAPES IN A LINK THAT DISPENSES QUITE A BIT OF INFORMATION ABOUT THE SCHEMES AND PLANS OF THE ILLUMINATI AND FREE STATE BANKERS.
