Olympics and IOC

These days, they are one in the same and I am done with both. Two of many reasons are below.

First up was the mockery of the Last Supper in the opening show. No, it was not a depiction of some Dionysian event as revisionist history claims. Got the receipts on that in screen caps of several posts clearly stating that it was a take on the Last Supper. Posts that stayed up until the backlash started and the usual liars and gullible started with the revisions and attacks on ‘stupid and uncultured’ Christians.

Now, at the risk of attracting a lawsuit of some type from the morbidly obese centerpiece of that show (who is now threatening legal actions of various sorts against those who criticize it and the show), maybe it shouldn’t have posted so proudly about what they were doing. Got to agree with someone I read who pointed out that the real pagans of the early games would be outraged over the depiction. It was vapid, uninspired, unimaginative, and derivative. It was so far from original as to be unworthy of even a yawn if not for placement. The placement made it a slap in the face of all Christians, and that was quite deliberate by the producers and the IOC.

You might want to take a long look at the IOC and their participation in the real war on women, as they are also good with biological males beating up on biological females. In fact, they seem to get off on it and are doing all they can to promote it. You might also look at the culture of corruption that goes with the IOC and it’s members, among many other things. Understand, they are the Davos crowd, they are woke, and they hate you and all you stand for peasant — including your religious beliefs. If you think what they are doing is chance, I have a bridge for sale…

Which is why I have not deliberately watched any of the current Olympics and will not knowingly support a sponsor of same. Can’t avoid the news completely (and must admit I have been amused by and enjoyed the photos of the gymnast with the wheels of cheese), but even so I switch stories, channels, or whatever if I do see coverage of any type. I’m also done with any other support, including that to any person or group participating in any event under the IOC. As for the sadly few companies that dropped advertising and sponsorships after this, glad to support them as I can.

Biggest thing I, and you, can do is walk away. Don’t tune in, don’t watch, don’t listen. If viewership and related continue to crater (and that is a trend over the last few games that seems to be growing), neither they nor the advertisers will matter. Boycotting individually or organized, and letting them know why the business is no longer getting my/your business, will only speed things up. Oh, and if your city/state/etc. wants to spend millions to host? Fight it, tooth and nail. Pull up the real financials for past hosts, as they can be most interesting.

Now, if you like men beating up women and otherwise erasing them from sports and public life (heck, even prison life) and ‘putting women in their place’ like that, feel free to support the current secular religion, the olympics, and the IOC. If not, join me and walk away. Trust me, your life will not diminish for it, and in fact is quite likely to be far richer. There are outlets still out there for women’s sports and more, and that value women for being women — and they deserve your support. Entertainment, and that is exactly what the games are, should not mock your religion. The IOC and such have become institutions of disrespect and degradation for women, religion, and even spirituality. Show some respect, and walk away. Your life and your Soul will be better for it.

UPDATE I: Yes, I am aware the boxer in question has a medical condition and is not trans. It really doesn’t matter, and all the screaming about testosterone is a best a smoke screen. What matters is that he tests genetically as a male; he has the physical development of a male; and, he has been barred as a male from other competitions. It is truly sad and even horrible. However, allowing him to compete against women makes it horrible for them, and is unfair to them and potentially to thousands of other female competitors. To argue otherwise is intellectually bankrupt and morally and ethically depraved.

Getting hit by lightning is not fun! If you would like to help me in my recovery efforts, which include moving once we have medical issues cleared up, feel free to hit the fundraiser at A New Life on GiveSendGo, use the options in the Tip Jar in the upper right, or drop me a line to discuss other methods. There is also the Amazon Wish List in the Bard’s Jar. It is thanks to your gifts and prayers that I am still going. Thank you.
