1. Looking at Putin's apparent declining physical appearance made me think of the film "Apocalypse Now" and how to end Putin's reign of terror. The film was reported at the time to have been loosely based on "Heart of Darkness," a 1899 novella by Joseph Conrad,
2. about a ferry captain in the Congo. It was based on Conrad's life. He had become the master of a Congo ferry when the captain became ill. His novella was centered around the character of Kurtz, who was caught up in the world of what was described as
3. savagery in the heart of Africa. But in the film, the character of Colonel Kurtz took savagery to a new level. In the book, Kurtz dies of natural causes. In the film Coppola chose to delve into another obscure 19the century literary work, the Golden Bough.
4. In the film when Captain Willard is brought in to meet Kurtz. a copy of . the Golden Bough is on the table. That book created a shock in 19th century Britain because it delved into superstition and mythology and included discussion of the Christ crucifixion related to the
5. discussion of superstition and ritual sacrifice. The reason this is may be relevant to Putin is that he is trying to hide his obvious physical affliction. He knows that weakness can’t be shown. He also knows how it’s likely to end for him if he viewed by the hyenas to have
6. lost his mind and likely to bring destruction to the pack. It's a dangerous thing to expose and Putin's attempt to hide his affliction with his Flight Attendant deep fake shows that he may have read the Golden Bough and knows how it's going to end. Make his affliction all
7. he sees. Challenge him to a walk across the room without stumbling. Humiliate him and the Russia state hyenas may do the rest like Capt Willard brought up the river by the demonic Colonel Kurtz. Or perhaps he'll just kill us all. @WHNSC
