Brave New Film’s… venerable… iconography.

Hmm. Evil conspiracy-octopus with tendrils everywhere. What could that POSSIBLY evoke?

RESIZE: AAA

At first, I was kind of gung-ho to help good old Bernie Sanders track down more of those insidious Koch Brothers minions who want to raise the retirement age , but then I got stopped by the attack video that you’ll find at the above link. I looked at the picture that Sanders had Brave New Films make for said video…

…and asked myself, Moe? Where have you seen images like this before?  In what historical tradition is Brave New Films operating?  Who or what has been routinely portrayed as evil, conspiratorial octopuses, with their tentacles reaching into every aspect of society?

Then I remembered.  Oh.  Right.  The Jews.

(Images via here , out of sheer irony.)

Still, it’s always nice to see the Hardcore Left get back to its roots.  For a given value of ‘nice.’

Moe Lane

PS: If Bernie Sanders and Brave New Films can spare some time from their upcoming (I’m guessing) Stürmer Publishing House retrospective, I have a list of other dirty, filthy advocates for raising the retirement age for the Left to denounce!  Ready?  Here goes:

Man.  Those Koch brothers have their tendrils everywhere these days, don’t they? – Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go vomit in pure revulsion now.

    Thanks for writing this. I needed a good laugh, and the video in the Huff Po link provided just that. It’s so much fun watching the statists throw their little temper tantrums over the Koch brothers.

    I love the statist meme regurgitated by Comrade Sanders, of the horrors of raising the retirement age of Social Security, because of the poor waitresses. I can’t speak for anyone else, but I’ve eaten in a lot of restaurants in my life, and have never been waited on by someone in their 60′s.

    I hope we’ve got plenty of people making lists of all these leftist outrages and media falsehoods so we can keep them front and center in the campaign.

    Liars can only get away with it for so long, perhaps the Left’s time has expired. But we have to drive the stake through their hearts this time, for all time, without mercy. Look how quickly they’ve come back after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Soviet Empire.

    if I read the title correctly. Of course, the last time I looked, the Masons usually don’t admit Jews, or, at least in earlier days they didn’t. The Socialist Elite in France is just as anti-Masonic as they are anti-Semitic.

    Gee we don’t have a nazi on our side, not even the people who want to scale back government power, routinely called such by clods who don’t even know their insults. May I add that Obama is his own target rich environment.
    Who would have thought that advocating freedom would come to this,
    the perversity of ascribing pure evil to the advocate.

    I’m fairly sure the only present day religious requirement is that you cannot be a member and atheist.

    Masonry saw? Nah, probably not. All of these retro mid-20th century statist artists are so lazily derivative The artist probably liked the dynamic counterclockwise rotating action implied by the nazi swastika but needed a a bigger work area for the lurid drawing. I’ll give him a few points for pothead subtlety in not using the swastika outright.

    (Let me try this again as my last post seems to have disappeared in the dark places of the internet)

    To correct some information about the Masonic Fraternity (yes, its a fraternity, not a religion). The requirements to become a member has been since recorded history (and in the wording of the Grand Lodge of Freemasons of the State of New York) is that an applicant must be: a man, free born, of lawful age, and well recommended. A applicant also must have no criminal record, have a belief in a supreme being and the immortality of the soul.

    Historically the Masonic fraternity was a place that Christians and Jews met as Brothers, even during times of strong anti-Semitism. There have members who were anti-Semitic, and up until Masonic Lodges were shut down and persicuted by the Nazi government there was one of the three Grand Lodges in Germany that did not accept Jews as members (though they still communicated and recognized all of the other Grand Lodges through out the world that had Jewish membership).
