new-to-me #229 - Cinema Rex
Dead Dog Party
“Woo Hoo The Dead Dog Party!”
“The Movie we are going to watch is ‘Treasure Planet’.“
“Every year at the end of the con the remaining people who don’t want to see it go watch a movie together in Cinema Rex!”
“And of course there are lots of snacks!”
“Yay for party Decorations! So many lights...”
“Its almost starting WEEEEEEE-”
“-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!”
“Instead of theater seats she we comfy couches, and arm chairs (and a few boring old standard ball room chairs).”
“I’m so nervouscited!”
“LETS DO THIS THING!”
“K movies over. That was fun!”
Inspired by @concernedpony. I won this Pinkie Pie in a trivia contest and figured a bunch of “Pinkie Selfies” in your blog style would be a fun way to end the convention.

The Cinema Rex Fire Abadan, Iran August 19, 1978
"The event that is known as a key trigger leading up to the 1979 Iranian Revolution."
The Cinema Rex fire happened on August 19th 1978 when the Cinema Rex in Abadan, Iran, was set ablaze, killing between 377 and 470 people.
The event started when four individuals, who were allegedly (as stated by and repeated by media controlled by the British Roman Empire) "militants motivated by Islamic extremism", doused the building with airplane fuel before setting it alight.
The Four Individuals and what the British Roman Empire's exhaustive media has marketed them as:
"Khomeini's followers"
"Savak"
"The Shah's Secret Police (Savak)"
"Shiite revolutionaries"
"Islamic extremists"
I think it's very interesting to call those four hired mercenaries everything but "hired by Britain" and "fulfilled by Israel", when it seems pretty much every other catastrophe after World War II happens as a major result of the British Roman Empire hiding behind religions and faces of the "Middle East" and West Asia.
If we're going by behavior alone, who does this sound like...
"On August 19, 1978, Khomeini's followers locked the doors of Cinema Rex and burned 400 people alive."
Nobody who deeply loved Iran in a real way, could do that, to "save Iran". I know it wasn't their own people, regardless of what British Roman media tells us.
Quentin Tarantino and the Inglorious Bastards
Remember: these people are not clever, they write what they know to be true. I believe that one scene is about the Cinema Rex, and they used Hitler and Germany as the "face" for their code.
A French woman and an African French man are used in the scheme for the movie version. I assume France and Africa were used by the British Roman Empire in a similar way, along with Israel, of course. The British Roman Empire has, for a long time, used both France and Africa as a means to their dirty ends while simultaneously trying to keep them destabilized throughout modern and ancient existence.
"The Tapes That Sparked the Iranian Revolution"
During a time when video, film, and television exist -- it was CASSETTE TAPES of Ayatollah Khomeini, that were sent from FRANCE (the region France but not the French people, it's under British control, as most of us are in this world), to Iran.
"The voice of the Ayatollah" supposedly upended the country.
If the Ayatollah was alive and well, why not send a video? I'm sure excuses were made.
I'm not sure that man was alive during that time. I'm not sure the man who got sent back to Iran was the same guy.
Modern conditions play a crucial role in religious revivalism. Cassette tapes have been crucial in the Muslim revivalism of the past 40 year
It was their cockiness to attempt doing it again, during our generation, during our lifetime, that helped get them caught.
The "Commonwealth" nations are given "field guides" for what they're allowed to say in the media. The United States has not been the supreme authority, it's been given the "face" of that, so it can be the one dealing with the attacks. It became the "Cerberus" for the British Roman Empire. It's role was to serve as the "vicious guard dog" so others would attack us first, and think nothing of the ones making us do the thing, manipulate us, or blame us entirely for things we never did. We have been a giant weapon of the British Roman Empire, while they pretended to shove us into the driver seat.
The brilliance lives in the work-around of that.
The British Roman Empire is highly active in this "US-Iran" war. We're just not allowed to discuss it directly. It has to be by the "field guide", for most things.
And realizing that, made me start to trust some of my leaders.
Today was the day I could feel like I trusted all parts of my "identity", whether I was right or wrong for that, doesn't matter, it was a nice feeling.
I think although it was meant for something more, I still should apologize for being cruel at times, emotionally. I acted like I knew better during times I really didn't. Thank you for your patience with my learning, it took me a while to get here but I'm here now.

THE ISLAMIC REVOLUTION'S ATTITUDE TO THE ART OF CINEMA was thrown into sharp relief by the arson attack that destroyed Abadan's Cinema Rex on the eve of the uprisings in 1978, killing over 300 viewers. For the Islamic reformers cinema was counter-revolutionary and thus its material embodiment deserved to be destroyed. — Shiva Rahbaran
