  3. Yritän kuulostaa Kal-Eliltä. Kömpelö yritys, mutta menkööt.🦸 ✨

    Hōjicha, tuo kuuma maallinen neste.
    Sen paahdettu lämpö virtaa suonissani. Se ei ole pelkkä kuuma juoma mukissani.
    Se on kohtalo.

  6. What To Watch On YouTube Right Now – Part 135

    Welcome back my readers, YouTube viewers and all others who followed this series of articles focused on YouTube videos worth watching.

    Have you been searching for something fun or interesting to watch on YouTube? Do you feel bored right now and you crave for something to see on the world’s most popular online video destination?

    I recommend you check out the following videos I found.

    #1 The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear Reaction Videos – What can be said about the 1991 comedy film The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear? As a sequel to 1988’s The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!, the movie has this weird and sudden change of setting from Los Angeles to Washington, DC, without any explanation at all. At the time of its release, the United States President was George Bush and the movie had a funny portrayal of him complete with an actress who looks so much like then First Lady Barbara Bush. More notably, the movie has its funny portrayal of energy politics and there is bias against fossil fuel. How it entertained YouTubers is a must see with their reaction videos posted below for your enjoyment.

    #2 How Pre-Rendered Backgrounds Defined Early 3D Gaming – Remember back in the 1990s when pre-rendered backgrounds were used a lot in video games? The first three Resident Evil main video games were popular examples of pre-rendered backgrounds which came with high levels of detail and immersed gamers who played. Behind the scenes, pre-rendered visuals for backgrounds became the norm both artistically and with regards to game production. By today, such visuals became a forgotten artform and you revisit its legacy by watching the video below.

    #3 Vending Machines In Japan Disappearing? – During my two tours of Japan in the 1990s, I noticed there were lots of vending machines present. When compared to my visits to the United States during that same decade, the number of vending machines in Japan were not only higher but were also present in more strategic locations targeting both tourists and locals. As technology evolved, there were consequences realized as the number of vending machines in the land of the rising sun has gone down. Could it really be a growing disappearance? Watch and learn from the video below.

    #4 Ashleigh Burton Reacts To The Mask – Were you old enough to have seen The Mask (starring Jim Carrey) in the movie theater when it was released in 1994? I saw it in the cinema with my friends and it turned out to be very surprisingly entertaining. Carrey’s very comedic performance really brought the character to life complete with a nice variety of computer-generated effects that added a lot of punch to entertain viewers. As the movie (loosely based on a comic book series of the early 1990s) is more than thirty years old now, one has to wonder if it still has what it takes to entertain viewers who were born during or after its theatrical run. Watch and learn from Ashleigh Burton’s reaction video below.

    #5 You, Me And the Movies Reacts To King Kong (1976) – You might have heard the news that the 1976 King Kong movie (starring Jeff Bridges and Jessica Lange) is coming out on 4K Blu-ray format this June. I first saw that movie on local TV in the early 1980s and saw it again on cable TV a long time later. As it was a remake of the 1933 classic film, King Kong’s story was relevant to those who experienced the oil crisis of the 1970s. It’s relevance and overall fun factor got tested in the reaction video of You, Me and the Movies, which you can watch below.

    #6 John Byrne’s The Man Of Steel Revisited – What is there to say about John Byrne’s reboot of Superman in the 1986 limited series The Man of Steel? A lot! Byrne, who made a lot of great works with Marvel Comics’ X-Men and Fantastic Four some years prior, was hired by DC Comics to reboot Superman for the post-Crisis age and he was granted creative freedom to not only modernize the American icon but also make him relevant and essential. Can you just imagine experiencing the tremendous pressure of the task if you were Byrne himself? To see why The Man of Steel comic book limited series and Byrne’s rebooting of Superman are very important, I encourage you all to watch the video below.

  10. Today's the day Clark Kent first met Lex Luthor.

    (Art by Eddy Barrows, Curt Swan, John Byrne, and Joe Shuster.)

    #1976DCCalendar #DCComics #comics #Superboy #Superman #LexLuthor #Smallville   

  11. :stargif: 𝑨𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒐𝒏 𝑴𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝒚 𝑵𝑿𝑰𝑽𝑴: 𝒍𝒂 𝒉𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒂 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍 𝒅𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒑𝒖𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒊𝒐́𝒏, 𝒂𝒃𝒖𝒔𝒐 𝒚 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒊𝒂 :stargif:

    Allison Mack, conocida por su papel de Chloe Sullivan en Smallville, no solo fue una actriz talentosa, sino que también se convirtió en un eslabón central de la secta NXIVM (pronunciado Nexium), una organización que se presentaba como un grupo de autoayuda y superación personal, pero que ocultaba una red de tráfico sexual y esclavitud.

    🔸Cómo comenzó todo

    Allison entró a NXIVM en 2006, buscando orientación espiritual y profesional.
    A los 23 años, se sentía insatisfecha con su carrera en Smallville y buscaba “algo más profundo”.
    Su ingreso fue gracias a Kristin Kreuk, su compañera de reparto, quien la invitó a un seminario de los llamados Executive Success Programs (ESP).
    Aunque Kristin abandonó el grupo poco después, Allison quedó fascinada por Keith Raniere, el líder de NXIVM, quien la convenció de que ella era “demasiado emocional” y que él la ayudaría a convertirse en una “mujer poderosa”.
    Con el tiempo, Mack quedó aislada de su familia y amigos, volviéndose completamente dependiente de Raniere y de su jerarquía de control.

    🔸Keith Raniere: el cerebro detrás de NXIVM

    Keith Raniere nació en Brooklyn en 1960.
    Desde joven se vendió como un prodigio intelectual con un supuesto IQ de 240, aunque esto nunca se comprobó.
    En los años 80 fundó Consumers Buyline, una empresa de marketing multinivel que terminó siendo investigada como esquema piramidal en 20 estados y cerrada tras un acuerdo legal con multa millonaria.
    Tras este fracaso, Raniere se reinventó como gurú del éxito bajo el nombre de Vanguard, exigiendo que sus seguidores lo saludaran con un beso en la mejilla y una reverencia, y promoviendo un sistema de manipulación psicológica que daría forma a NXIVM.

    En 1998, Raniere fundó NXIVM junto a Nancy Salzman, experta en Programación Neurolingüística.
    Presentada como una empresa de coaching y desarrollo personal, NXIVM ofrecía cursos intensivos de 12 horas (ESP) donde los participantes eran psicológicamente “rompidos” y controlados.
    Creó un lenguaje secreto para alejar a los miembros de sus familias y estableció una estructura piramidal de niveles, con bufandas de colores que indicaban rango y autoridad.
    Mientras proyectaba ética y superación en público, en privado ejercía control total y abusivo sobre sus seguidores.

    🔸La Sociedad DOS y el rol de Allison Mack

    Dentro de NXIVM existía un subgrupo secreto llamado DOS (Dominus Obsequious Sororium, “Amo sobre las esclavas obedientes”), liderado por Mack como lugarteniente de Raniere.
    DOS operaba bajo dinámicas de control extremo y abuso:

    ▪️Marcaje con hierro: Las mujeres eran marcadas en la pelvis con las iniciales de Raniere y Mack usando un cauterizador médico sin anestesia durante 20-30 minutos.
    Mack sujetaba a las víctimas y les decía que debían “abrazar el dolor” como prueba de lealtad.

    ▪️Colateral: Para ingresar a DOS, las mujeres debían entregar información comprometedora, fotos íntimas o documentos personales, usados posteriormente para chantajearlas si intentaban irse.

    ▪️Abuso sexual: Las mujeres eran obligadas a mantener relaciones sexuales con Raniere, y Mack supervisaba su cumplimiento.

    ▪️Dieta extrema: Las esclavas debían consumir menos de 800 calorías diarias, reportando cada comida.
    El incumplimiento provocaba castigos físicos y humillación pública.

    ▪️Privación del sueño: Las seguidoras debían estar disponibles 24/7.
    Si recibían un mensaje de Mack a cualquier hora, debían responder de inmediato o enfrentar represalias.

    Allison Mack utilizó su fama como actriz para atraer a mujeres jóvenes y vulnerables, prometiéndoles empoderamiento femenino y mentoría profesional.
    Bajo su rol de “Maestra”, ejercía un abuso psicológico y físico constante sobre sus “esclavas”.

    🔸Otras figuras clave y el colateral humano

    ▪️Sarah Edmondson: Primera en denunciar públicamente la existencia de DOS en 2017, mostrando su marca de hierro. Su valentía fue decisiva para romper el silencio de la secta.

    ▪️Catherine Oxenberg: Madre de India Oxenberg, quien estaba atrapada en DOS. Catherine contrató investigadores y presionó al FBI para iniciar la investigación oficial.

    ▪️India Oxenberg: Esclava personal de Mack, obligada a dietas extremas y a pedir permiso hasta para ir al baño.
    Tras ser rescatada, publicó un libro revelando los abusos.

    ▪️Kristin Kreuk y Grace Park: Ambas participaron en cursos de NXIVM pero abandonaron antes de la formación de DOS, sin presenciar abusos directos.

    ▪️Clare y Sara Bronfman: Herederas de Seagram, financiaron a Raniere con más de 100 millones de dólares, permitiendo demandas judiciales contra críticos y protección legal de la secta durante años.
