Cannibals

No, not Appalachia-New Guinea

The compounding of mirth by the leader of the United States bothers no one; the persecution of Trump even fewer. Vaccines wreak havoc and they remain promoted. Masking is dangerous and it continues. What can be said after we brush against the Armageddon option with Israel and Iran? No God, no master of the microphone stand.

The nations arm and factions fight and 4 horsemen ride.

Shaking in the forest, what have you to fear?
Here there may be tigers, to punch you in the ear
With gloves of stainless steel, bats carved out of bricks
Knock you down and beat you up and give your ass a kick
When push comes to shove, you're afraid of love
Shaking in the desert, now wherefore do you cry?
Here there may be rattlesnakes, to punch you in the eye
With Shotgun's full of silver and bullet's made of glass
String barbed wire at your feet, that will not let you pass
When push comes to shove, you're afraid of love

A little bit more love is all it it takes to keep the peace and promote the general serenity of folks after all, but instead everything diminishes.

Even the Presidential stupid lies. Lies that are not lies but like Reagan confusing his movies with his life Biden confuses any stray brain fart with qua truth. And this causes consternation. A comedy tonight.

'They wouldn't just eat any white men that fell from the sky': Outraged Papua New Guinea academics lash out at Biden's 'unacceptable' suggestion that cannibals ate his WW2 pilot uncle.

Outraged Papua New Guinea academics have slammed President Joe Biden for his 'unacceptable' suggestion that his uncle was eaten by cannibals in the country after his plane was shot down during World War II.

Biden implied on two occasions Wednesday that his maternal uncle 2nd Lieutenant Ambrose J. Finnegan had met a grisly end at the hands of cannibals after his plane was shot down by the enemy over New Guinea in 1944.

But the White House and official defense records confirmed that Finnegan died when the military plane he was in experienced engine failure and crashed into the Pacific Ocean, not over land.

Historically, cannibalism has been reported Papua New Guinea, the Pacific nation that occupies the eastern half of the island of New Guinea, but local academics say Biden's categorization of the act is 'very offensive'.

Michael Kabuni, a political science lecturer at the University of Papua New Guinea, told The Guardian cannibalism was previously practiced by some communities in very specific contexts and that locals 'wouldn't just eat any white men that fell from the sky'.

Other analysts branded Biden's claims as 'unsubstantiated and poorly judged', especially during a time in which the US has been trying to strengthen its ties with Papua New Guinea.

Kabuni argued that the Melanesian people, which includes the those from Papua New Guinea, are 'very proud' and would be offended by Biden's generalization of cannibalism.

He explained how cannibalism was not practiced due to a lack of food, but instead as a sign of respect in very specific contexts - such as eating a deceased relative's body to prevent it from decomposing.

'But taking it out of context, and implying that your [uncle] jumps out of the plane and somehow we think it's a good meal is unacceptable,' he added.
