The twists keep coming and we're not even out of episode 1. Gentaro can waste giant robot monsters all by himself. Sometimes Iron King just helps. #GHWP

But I love that there are several times in the series when he'll do a David and Goliath and just fight a giant monster robot himself with his whip. #GHWP

There are times when Gentaro takes his impulsive behavior and invincible hero's luck to Scrappy-Doo levels. #GHWP

If you can't trust a kindly old Japanese village lady, then who can you trust? #GHWP

I LOVE the way Iron King set up its dynamic. A buddy hero show with an impulsive and childish secret agent, along with a goofball tagalong who also happens to transform into a giant. #GHWP

The twist! Whip-wielding secret agent hero Gentaro is NOT Iron King! #GHWP

This smug bastard. I love him and so will you. You can try not to. You'll fail. #GHWP

Iron King villains the Shiranui Clan waste no time introducing themselves and their 1000-year global domination mission only to follow up immediately saying it could all be brought down by just one guy. #GHWP

Iron King up next, which I'd hoped to do two episodes tonight but only found the first with subs. Glad Red Baron was available but I binged Iron King a few years back and really enjoyed it. #GHWP

Dr. Deviler is a head villain with blonde hair? Been there, done that. #GHWP

Nothing but action for the entire second half of the first episode makes for a great introduction. #GHWP

Senkoshu Productions, same company that did Prince of Space, Moonlight Mask, and Iron King. Small number but all memorable classics. #GHWP

Just two giant robots kicking the crap out of each other. Typical Wednesday. #GHWP

I always love the life-sized hands and feet of the giant robots and monsters for these shows. Handy foot door hatch in Red Baron's foot. #GHWP

This might just push me into watching the entire series. I only watched half of this first episode when I got the DVD and then got distracted with Iron King. Then I moved on to Juspion which I also still haven't finished. Love love LOVE Juspion. #GHWP

#GHWP starts now! It doesn't even feel like we're almost 11 years old.

If you've enjoyed #Spectreman or #ZoneFighter or #UltraSeven then #IronKing and #SuperRobotRedBaron are gonna hit that sweet spot. #GHWP

For the record, I have watched all of Iron King and loved it, but I have owned Red Baron on DVD for just as many years and still haven't gotten around to it. I've only heard good things. Tonight's shows from the 70s toku golden years are sometimes called obscure and undeserving of that label. #GHWP

#GHWP Friday - YouTube

#GHWP tonight at 10E, we continue to be one small candle struggling to serve as a lighthouse beacon toward just one hour in the week that doesn't suck, where good always has the true inner power over evil.

Tonight, two shows we've never featured before: Super Robot Red Baron and Iron King! Join us!

The Road to Prairieland The crackdown on anti-ICE activists in Texas reflects a pattern of intensifying repression all around the country.

Extremely grim news from Texas.

Absurdly, a jury has decided to convict all of the defendants on most of the charges, including "Corruptly Concealing a Document" for moving a box of zines.

The jury's verdict:

Background on the case:

The most immediately notable part of the verdict is that people were convicted material support for terrorism for believing in antifascism and going to a noise demo where people lit off consumer grade fireworks.

I'm not going off on a tangent. The easy buzz words and muddy distractions are being screamed out by mouthpieces that either have been bought, or they have a genuine fear of being fed upon themselves, and all of those manufactured numbers and beliefs are what supports all of the legislation.

I can't be the only one who remembers back when Alex Jones was screaming projections away from his demographic about soul vampires.

That's awfully specific a description in hindsight, isn't it, and based on what, exactly? Because that's closer to accurate than what it's being called right now.

And "cannibal" is the proper term. If you're still using "pedophile," stop. It doesn't encompass what they are, and they themselves only exploit it as an easy buzz word. Age difference muddies things so easily. Power. Control. Feeding off bodies and souls not strong or wealthy enough to fight back.
