What kind of sick propaganda is this?

WHAT THE HELL
MORE SICK SHIT

Minding my own business when I read something about Spider-Man revealing his identity. This is some sick shit.

"As depicted in the Civil War crossover and series, the public outcry that follows this event leads the government (with the support of Iron Man and other Illuminati such as Reed Richards) to quickly enact the Superhuman Registration Act (SHRA), 6 U.S.C. S. 558, which required registration of those with naturally-occurring superhuman abilities, super abilities acquired through science or magic (including extraterrestrials and gods), and even non-super powered humans using exotic technology, such as Iron Man."

Marvel comics have been used for propaganda for awhile now apparently.

Essentially the super hero's screwup and get innocent people killed and the government calls for the regulation of the super hero "industry".

Some refuse, and some go along with it. I'm not sure if I would classify it as propaganda but it is very foreshadowing of what is happening in the U.S. right now.

That is from the Marvel event "Civil War" in which the federal government mandates all vigilantes to register with the government. Captain America feels this an attack on the rights of the super heroes, and leads the resistance. Tony Stark backs the government (partially due to the billions of weapons dealings he does with them) and attempts to bring in the newly labeled outlaws. The federal government goes so far as to enlist Super Villains to force the resistance to register. They use a chip implanted in these Super Villains to try and control them, but someone takes control of one chipped Villain and starts a war with the underwater race of people. These events lead up to the assassination of Captain America. This entire event was cast in a positive way towards questioning government. The people accepting the ID's were not considered the "good guys" If anything, they were cowards for accepting the burden of doing the right thing in the face of extraordinary adversity.

Captain America is possibly the most principled super hero ever. When he took a stand towards the Federal Government, it was because he was doing what he felt was his patriotic duty. He did not believe that just because the majority thought something was right, that it became right. He believed in the ideals of a republic, and following the constitution, not just submitting to a Federal Government that is overstepping it's bounds.

And now he's dead.

UN Propaganda aimed at U.S. Schoolchildren [The U.N. Will Be The Norm To Them]

Marvel Entertainment, owner of Marvel Comics, is teaming up with the UN to produce a comic book for schoolchildren with the purpose of improving the UN’s bad image.

Follow this link to the original source: "Kapow! A hero for our troubled times"

Marvel Comics will be working with the UN Office for Partnerships to produce a new comic book that will include UN characters and agencies working alongside Spider-Man and other superheroes to "settle bloody conflicts and right the world of disease." According to the UN press release: "By making the complex UN system accessible to youth, the partners hope to teach children the value of international cooperation, and sensitise them to the problems faced in other parts of the world."

Exact details have not yet been released, but American schoolchildren will be the first target for the UN’s propaganda blitz with the distribution of one million copies sometime in 2009. Eventually the plan is to translate the comic book into other languages, for further indoctrination of the world’s children. The UN wants children to get used to the idea of visits from UNICEF officials and visions of blue helmeted "peacekeeping" forces.

This project is something of an admission by the UN that the world body's reputation has sunk to new lows. The fact that they’ve had to resort to clever marketing techniques aimed at children in order to try and rescue their image speaks volumes.

What could these new UN comic books use as plot lines? A superhero needs a villain, of course. Marvel, in this case, need look no further than the UN itself for these. UN officials have been involved in exploitation of women and in sex rings in third world nations. Perhaps Marvel could have Spider-Man apprehend villains of this sort. Or maybe the X-men could bring to justice the criminals who profited from the oil-for-food program/scandal.

These would be more appropriate than using the beloved hero characters to convince children of the UN's suppose d beneficence.

More "brainwashing" for the kids to accept the coming Real ID. Sad but true.
