bridgerton chokehold

LINK: bridgerton chokehold

I don’t know what’s gotten into me lately.

Hormones? Maybe it’s because it’s that time of the month? I feel more… softhearted and sentimental for some reason. I’ve watched three seasons of Bridgerton and for the most part, I was unbothered. It was entertaining, but it didn’t affect me emotionally.

But season 4 volume 2 has got me in chokehold. I’ve only seen episodes five and six because I’m due to watch the remaining two at Julie’s for another Bridgerton watch party in the near future. But dammit if those two episodes aren’t giving K-drama. Part of me wonders if it’s because the main female lead is played by a Korean-Australian, Yerin Ha? That slow-burn and emotional push and pull that drags me in, making me feel a type of way.

The writing is unmatched to the other seasons. It’s the best damn love story that I’ve watched in a long time. The chemistry between the two actors is so so good. Damn, my feelings betray me and I feel all twisted inside… le sigh.

Bridgerton Season 4: Part 2

Spoiler Alert

Peak moments in episodes 5 and 6

Benedict confiding in Will Mondrich after asking Sophie to be his mistress and she turned him down.

Benedict Bridgerton: She is not a person of any rank, and I asked her to be with me.
Will Mondrich: You mean, as your mistress?
Benedict Bridgerton: Well I cannot ask her to marry me.
Will Mondrich: Making her your mistress is the only way tolerated by society. But, no matter her rank, no woman, no man, no person truly desires to be hidden.
Will Mondrich: Did you at least make it clear that you wish in some fantastical world that the two of you could be together, legitimately?
Benedict Bridgerton: No. But we are not in a fantastical world. So would not that have been dishonest?
Will Mondrich: It’s not about honesty. It is about gesture. How can a woman trust you to navigate a complicated life with her when she cannot trust you even to navigate her feelings?

Mr. Hiscox, one of Benedict’s friends, ended things with Virginia (his mistress) after being caught in public one too many times and is now at the country club drowning his sorrows.

Mr. Hiscox: I was forced to end things, to protect her, in truth, but she does not understand.
Benedict Bridgerton: What will you do?
Mr. Hiscox: What can I do? As i see it, I have two options. There is giving up and there is giving in, returning to the demimonde, to a midday drunk… to chasing sorrows in the bottom of the bottle. Would you like to join me in one?
Benedict Bridgerton: not just yet.

Benedict, a nobleman – the second son to the late viscount, professing his love to Sophie, who is a maid.

Benedict Bridgerton: There is not a single moment you do not fill my mind. I’ve heard every qualm you have raised about being with me, and I wish there were some other way for us to be together. But the thought of spending a single day without you torments my soul. You deserve the very world, but how else am I to be with a woman where society has made it impossible for me to be with? The woman I was foolish enough to fall in love with.
Benedict Bridgerton: I would not marry. I could not look twice at anyone else. If only you would love me back.
Benedict Bridgerton: You’re the person I have been searching for all my life. I love you.

If anyone else has seen this, tell me I’m not the only one?

    The time has come to cast the Mullahs upon the dung heaps of history. Wars fought to determine who controls trade routes, long before the discovery of oil in the Middle East. Before President Trump’s Cease Fire: Britain negotiated three significant ceasefires with Napoleon before the Battle of Waterloo. Prior to the French total surrender (A French habit\veil comparable to that worn by catholic nuns – both losers.), the European empires in conflict, each one, attempted to impose a blockade upon the other.

      ⸻

      1. “Britain negotiated three significant ceasefires before Waterloo”

      Not accurate.
      • The main agreement was the Treaty of Amiens, a temporary peace between Britain and France.
      • There were shifting coalitions and pauses in fighting, but not a recognized set of three British-negotiated ceasefires.
      • The wars resumed until Napoleon’s defeat at the Battle of Waterloo.

      So this claim is misstated.

      ⸻

      1. “French total surrender before Waterloo”

      Incorrect.

      France did not “totally surrender” before Waterloo:
      • Napoleon was first defeated and exiled in 1814
      • He returned for the Hundred Days in 1815
      • His final defeat came at Waterloo

        Never wrote “French total surrender “before” Waterloo. Only AFTER Waterloo did Napoleon surrender. Waterloo concluded Napoleon’s 100 Days.

            Do not confuse the protagonists of this war. The paper tiger NATO states of Britain, France, and Germany seek the destruction of the President’s war to destroy the ability of Iran to become a nuclear power. Herein defines the “stakes” of this war. Why? Because following the Oct 7th Abomination War the Trump Gaza Peace Board excluded Russia, Britain, UN and France – that Quartet gone if the US Israel alliance wins this war and the Mullahs leave Persia for ever.

            Language and framing – Terms like “paper tiger,” “Abomination War,” and “Mullahs leave Persia forever” signal rhetoric and ideology rather than neutral analysis.

            The mullahs small satan metaphor followed up by arming Arab radicals in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria means that I personally am anything but neutral in my analysis. Family members buried in the Oct 7th Abomination war.

            The language which Britain and France “inserted” into UN 242 of “inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war” and the “need to work for a just and lasting peace in which every State in the area can live in security”, compares to the current slander of Alex Jones: From “Lone Warrior” to “Nuclear Madness”. The Democrap talking point that perverted President Trump’s steadfast refusal for the Mullah regime in Iran, even before President Reagan replaced Jimmy Carter.

            The latter’s attempt to employ helicopters to insert special forces troops to free US embassy hostages the Mullah fanatics seized, during a desert wind storm – made with the coming Presidential elections in mind rather than the safety of US personnel. This self-centered shift of priorities exploded Carter’s re-election bid. In the same manner, Alex Jones too, post the Court-Case which closed him in particular and his InfoWars studio down due to his inflammatory touching the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting which horrified the nation roughly 6 months in Obama’s 2nd term as President.

            Alex Jones repeatedly claimed that the 2012 shooting – staged and that the parents merely Hollywood like actors. In like manner he now condemns President Trump’s war rhetoric “total eradication”, to general genocide of the Iranian people rather than the total war removal of the fanatic Mullahs and their drive to attain nuclear weapons by which to attack the Great and Small Satan’s.

            UN Resolution 242 does not concern global conflicts but rather its language “inserts” the post UN repeated condemnations of Israel touching occupied Palestinian lands! 242 does not concern global conflicts but rather its language “inserts” the post UN repeated condemnations of Israel touching occupied Palestinian lands! This UN slander ie European imperialism took advantage of LBJ involvement in the Vietnam War to re-insert Britain and France as great power brokers who themselves determine the balance of power in the Middle East. The 1922 League “Palestine Mandate” based upon 19th Century French maps which the “Sick Man of Europe” acquired which labelled Ottoman Greater-Syria as “Palestine”, coupled with the post WWI British/French division of Sykes-Picot which which devied or apportioned the spoils of the corpse of the Ottoman empire divided up between the two remaining standing Allied empires in Europe including Russia.

            UN 242 propaganda changed the original Palestine League mandate to include an Arab Palestinian state which all Arab states themselves universally rejected in Britain language of UN General Assembly 181. 19th Century European colonial aspirations and maps, redefined territorial boundaries in ways that served great power domination of the balance of power in any given region. British division of Iraq separated from a warm water port in Kuwait and the division of India into two warring nations serve as examples to understand European “interests” to insert their dictates into the Middle East. Absolutely no different from the latest slander “internationalist Democrats in Congress” employ the war rhetoric “total eradication”, as to all Iranians rather than limited to the Mullah communist dictators who themselves seek nuclear destruction of the Great and small Satan’s.

      Post the ’56 Suez crisis IKE terminated the great power status of both London and Paris. Prior to the 2nd Shoah – according to the declared statements of Nasser himself; who promised to rectify the Arab Nakba disgrace! Nakba, not the post ’67 humiliating Arab defeat which switched the narrative to the poor Palestinians peoples scattered into the winds. But rather the ’48 Arab disgrace the invading Arab states failure to throw the Jews into the Sea – Nakba!

      Therefore UN 242, with LBJ’s butt exposed in Vietnam, London & Paris attempted to re-insert their domination in determining the balance of power in the Middle East which IKE utterly negated. UN 242 fits in harmony with Truman’s “containment policy”, and the British empire’s policy of maintaining the balance of power/England as top dog\ resemble one another’s national interests.

      France surrendered to the Nazis after 6 months of actual army on army fighting. So their ‘great power’ status has never recovered from their Nakba defeat. Post ’56 London had to brown-nose Washington. However, the Trump Era Washington, while it has “yet” to pull out of NATO, the stink of the NATO corpse in the air. The Trump political rhetoric that describes NATO as a “Paper Tiger” plays well with giving Putin a face saving out of the Nakba Ukraine war. International politics, while it resembles poker – far more nuanced and complex.

      UN 242: language ambiguity did not “invent” a Palestinian state. But it most certainly serves as the concealed foundation by which all post 242 UN condemnations of Israeli settlements which culminated in Obama’s 2334 which prioritized London and Paris’s efforts to dominate the balance of power in the Middle East strategic interests! Openly clashes with Trump 1.0 Abraham Accords, recognition of Jerusalem and the Golan as part of Israel’s international permanent Capital and borders and Trump 2.0 Gaza Peace Board which excludes Russia, Britain, the UN, and Frog quartet as great power players in the Middle East. The stench of the dead NATO alliance – EU hostility to US economic dominance within EU economies.

      The UN employs the rhetoric of “peace” no different than how Chamberlain did after he personally betrayed the Czech Republic in 1938. Political rhetoric whores “peace” which its lies employ as merely a sweet perfume “noun” that has no teeth. Shalom by stark and obvious contrast a verb that stands upon the foundation of “Trust”. No trust No Shalom. Just that simple.

      For example: The entire history of European and Arab empires have played the back and forth – something like tennis – the “Jewish problem”. Post Shoah ’48 Israel’s have sworn a formal Torah oath: “NEVER AGAIN”. Meaning, Israelis reject foreign power dictates which determine “Final Solutions” for their bogus racist “Jewish Problems”.
