The Apocalyptic Vision of Ray Crabtree and the One Man Who Can Save Us

(Can you guess his name?)
2\

I have been recently digging through my collection of fringe, weird and often conspiratorial literature. Most of it amassed prior to 2005.
3\

I have quite a few "End of Days" books, including Apocalypse Culture. It's a collection of essays from various authors on topics about the evils of civilization. The book is more or less a case for an apocalypse.
4\

One sections of the book features wacko letters to the editor.
5\

One extended letter is from "Ray Crabtree" titled SEEDS OF ARMAGEDDON IS NOW BEEN SOWN LET'S NIP IT IN THE BUD.

Ray is not happy about the direction of America. After a rant about the Queen of England, he writes...
6\

"LOOKOUT, LOOKOUT THE TRUE HUMAN RATS ARE DESTROYING AMERICA. HUMPTY-DUMPTY AND JACK-O’LANTERN IS FALLING DOWN, RAP, RAP AND MORE CRAP. I SEE THE USA A CRAWLING NATION OF DISORDER AND BLOOD FINANCED WITH USA MONEY OF COURSE."
7\

My copy of Apocalypse Culture was published in 1990 and based on some of the clues in Ray's letter, I estimate he sent it sometime earlier that year.

Ray was not without hope. He saw only one man with the capability to prevent the destruction of America: Donald Trump.
8\

"DONALD TRUMP, A MAN OF PURPOSE AND ACCOMPLISHMENT, HAD DONE MUCH GOOD FOR THE NATION. EVEN THOUGH HE ALLOWED HIMSELF TO BECOME EMBROILED IN TODAYS LOOSENESS TO A GREAT DEGREE, WE FEEL THAT MUCH OF THIS CAN BE OVERLOOKED NOW THAT HIS ORDEAL HAD BEEN SERIOUSLY FELT."
9\

"WE ALSO FEEL THAT FOR GREATER THINGS AWAITS HIM AND WE ASK MR. TRUMP TO ALLOW US LITTLE PEOPLE TO JOIN HIM IN HELPING TO GET HIM BACK ON HIS FEET AND THIS TIME TO KEEP HIM THERE IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE GOOD WILL, PEACE AND TRANQUILITY FOR ALL PEOPLE."
10\

"1, RAY GRABTREE HAS COMPOSED A SYMPHONIC POEM IN HONOR OF DONALD TRUMP AND WILL STRIVE TO GET HEADS OF EVERY STATE TO GET THEIR HOUSES AND PERSONS TO JOIN THE TRUMP FUND AND RALLIES AND CONCERTS WE HOPE TO PRESENT IN THE NEAR FUTURE"
11\

"ALL CHEQUES MUST BE MADE OUT TO DONALD TRUMP AND IN RETURN WE HOPE MR. TRUMP WILL ALLOW US ONE OF HIS HALLS TO DO OUR SHOWS IN. YOU’LL BE HEARING FROM US ABOUT COMING TO N.Y. TO APPEAR ON THE SHOWS AS WELL ATTEND..."
12\

"AND OFFER YOUR GOOD WELL SERVICE TO THIS GRAND CAUSE. DONALD TRUMP OR GORBACHEV.

RAY CRABTREE
THE WRITER"

So Russell Moore claims he and his family have received "constant threats" from "white nationalists."

He doesn't, however, name names in his "leaked letter" (I'm going to guess he leaked it)

A reminder that Russell Moore accepted a paid trip from an organization associated with Paul Singer back in the winter of 2015.

3\

Moore was also writing joint editorials with Singer's preferred presidential candidate, Marco Rubio, during that time period.

MY ORANGE AND TEAL NIGHTMARE

Everywhere I turn I see Orange & Teal. After you read this thread, you will too.

⚠️ You have been warned. ⚠️
2\

It’s impossible to watch any form of media these days without being assaulted by oranges and teals: movies, television shows, posters, book covers, screensavers, advertising.

There is no escape.
3\

Why are Orange and Teal all the rage?

They are complimentary colors, opposite each other on the color wheel.

Here's a recent article that covers, in a condensed form, much of what I have written about Michael and Barbara Ledeen.

The authors claim to have "uncovered" the "Israeli Angle."

I wrote a thread about the Israeli angle back in 2018.

3\

I don't agree with their final paragraph.

McMaster took over the NSC a month into the Trump presidency and then cleaned house of those who could be categorized as "hard-line Israel supporters" almost immediately. Image

Heath Ledger’s Joker is one of the greatest movie villains ever.

How did he bring to life such an unforgettable character?

And was it worth the price?
2\

By all indications, Ledger’s upbringing was privileged and his family loving. He was born into a prominent family in Perth, Australia.

The Sir Frank Ledger Charitable Trust is named after his great-grandfather.
3\

His father was a race car driver who started his own engineering firm.

Now that we know Durham is focusing on Igor Danchenko and the Brookings Institute, I'm hoping we'll be hearing more about Clifford Gaddy.
2\

Gaddy was formerly the Brookings' lead expert on Russia and co-author of several books on Vladimir Putin with Fiona Hill.

Perhaps most importantly, he's Danchenko's American mentor.

Read more here:

3\

Gaddy suddenly retired from Brookings several years ago, coincidently (or not) when the Steele dossier was published.

WHAT WERE STANLEY KUBRICK'S SOURCES FOR EYES WIDES SHUT?

"It’s a great huge game of chess that’s being played -- all over the world -- if this the world at all, you know."

There was a time, years ago now, when I read every biography of Stanley Kubrick I could find in the library.

So it would be impossible for me to source every claim in this thread because I can’t tell you exactly where I learned the information.
3\

What fascinated me about Kubrick was the process he used to make movies. It always began with exhaustive research. He would devour numerous books, magazines and newspaper articles preparing for his next movie
