Why are there countless vigilantism-daydream comic book adapted films such as Iron Man and Captain America: Civil War being made in Hollywood recently?

Was it the immigration policy/vision of American president
Teddy Roosevelt which paved the way for radical society 'chat' about self-determined 'socio-cultural traffic'?

Here's a short-story comics-adapted 'fan-fic' meant to stir thoughts about controversial 'confluence' and the profiteerism generated by continental traffic.

Do these stories make people feel more OR less optimistic about the clash of ethnic groups?

What do you think about the intellectual domain of 'dynamic/living history'? It's a relevant question for the modern age of 'pedestrian recordings' (e.g., Facebook,
NSA-Cyber, eTrade, Food Network, etc.).

Oliver Queen was a socialite and businessman in Seattle, Washington who was secretly the vigilante super-archer named Green Arrow. Hal Jordan was a movie star living in Los Angeles, California but was also the masked vigilante named Green Lantern. Arrow and Lantern never met, but their paths were about to cross. Arrow was studying the sociological impact of 9/11, while Lantern was studying the cultural impact of the L.A. race riots.

Oliver had experimented with bohemian lifestyles while studying psychology at Yale University, and Hal had experimented with frivolous movie-making while dating beautiful actresses. Now the two were both obsessed with vigilantism and defending American values (ironically at a time when globalization and multi-culturalism was making America's brand of 'confluence culture' very controversial and challenging). Arrow decided to investigate rumors that mobile phones were losing signals on 9/11, and Lantern decided to investigate society gossip that movie stars were involved in intricate narcotics-smuggling labyrinths.

Meanwhile, in Tijuana, Mexico, a deformed drug kingpin named Julio (a man with a cleft palette disfigurement) had created a powerful narcotics ring which stretched from Los Angeles to British Columbia. Julio's gang, known as the 'Red Hood Gang' kept in its employ airline employees (Southwest Airlines and Delta) who facilitated the movement of drugs across North America. Julio's Red Hood Gang was about to make a swift and tactical move by allying itself with a North Korean black market association known as the 'League of Opium' (which facilitated the sale of narcotics as well as the distribution of machine-guns to American inner cities).

Arrow read in the newspaper one day that a mysterious masked vigilante (calling himself 'Lantern') had seized a shipment of black market machine-guns being channelled from the League of Opium to the Red Hood Gang in Los Angeles. Arrow decided to travel to L.A. to find Lantern and forge an alliance. Prowling the streets at night hoping to 'catch' the vigilante doing his own supervisory work, Arrow spotted Lantern and approached him and told him he too was a vigilante. Arrow explained he did a great deal of vigilante work through Internet postings and pirate radio signals (as well as street-work); Lantern equivocated by explaining he learned about the 'street-beat' in America through his work in the movie industry and general street-patrol work.

Arrow and Lantern decided to form an alliance and pursue the Red Hood Gang and use leads to cut ties to the League of Opium, hopefully thwarting attempts to create elaborate crime networks between Earth's two hemispheres. Arrow met one of the female agents of the Red Hood Gang (Julio's cousin) named Elie who was sharp airline stewardess who doubled as a messenger and drug-runner for Julio's criminal outfit. Arrow at first was using her to make bridges to the Red Hood Gang, but when he started falling in love with her, Lantern warned his ally that Elie might betray them.

Lantern, meanwhile, had personal problems of his own. His girlfriend/fiancée Katherine was losing interest after suspecting her beau was keeping secrets from her. Arrow decided to intercede on his ally's behalf and explained to Katherine that Hal was simply doing some top-secret government work; ironically, Katherine tried to seduce Arrow in the hopes of making Hal jealous and luring him back home, but Arrow told her that he was already involved in a dangerous potential relationship with the female cousin of a potent crimelord.

Having set aside the personal problems (Oliver told Elie he could not pursue their relationship, while Hal assured Katherine he would return home safely), Arrow and Lantern fixed their attention to a new initiative involving the sale of biochemical weapons to ISIS. The sale was being orchestrated between Julio and the leader of the League of Opium. The sale was to be conducted in the San Diego shipyards on Halloween Eve (amidst some distracting street festivities). Arrow got the tip from Elie and was there with Lantern to thwart the transaction activity.

At the shipyards, Julio's men were in Halloween costumes but also carrying machine-guns. Nearby, there was a Halloween parade in which Hal's girlfriend Katherine (herself a movie star) was a celebrity guest and commentator. Arrow decided to throw a legion of tear-gas grenades, while Lantern moved into the abandoned battleship (where the transaction of the biochemical weapons was taking place) and shoot the goons inside with tranquilizer darts. Lantern wore special night-vision infrared goggles and a gas-mask so the tear-gas would not disorient him in any way.

The San Diego police and Coast Guard handled all the arrests and paperwork, and Arrow and Lantern disappeared. Hal even joined his girlfriend Katherine for the remainder of the Halloween parade festivities. The San Diego police commissioner, Jim Dawes, commented, "Coastline criminal commerce has become more suffocating than the Human Genome Project!"

Casting Cages?

Here's something else to consider --- during the reign of the Nazis (WWII), many German officials (serving as wardens of Jewish 'death camps') hosted lavish dinner parties where attractive young German women served as courtesans and concubines/prostitutes. So as Jews were being tortured and killed, Nazis were engaging in pleasures of the flesh and luxury.

Sure, the Nazis were obsessed with 'Jew-hating,' but how we record/transmit the 'history' of this shameful behaviour affects our attitude towards the 'environment/culture' of persecution.

Describing the 'environment/atmospherics' of history is an important feature of this new age of 'networking controversies.'

Such considerations help us determine what comprises 'journalistic apocrypha.'

Reclaiming Heaven: 'Neapolitan Nebraska'


We turn on the news or look up photos of Middle Eastern terrorists and notice men in masks carrying machine-guns and proudly waving national and religion-oriented flags.

America too was founded on a passion for self-determined governance, and America is a confluence of peoples from around the world, and Americans celebrate the masquerade festival of Halloween almost as if it's sacred, so where are pictures of Americans of revolutionary orientation in masks?

Would we hype such pictures as 'equally-representative' of 'globalization media'?

I got the idea for this kamikaze post from the traffic-hysteria American film The Purge: Anarchy.

It's amazing what kinds of movies we make in Hollywood.

ISIS: Halloween is a hoax in the USA.
AMERICAN: Masks are worn for differing philosophies.
ISIS: The Western World will collapse under its own gluttony.
AMERICAN: We believe in free speech and intellectual freedom.
ISIS: Capitalists are monsters.
AMERICAN: What's wrong with the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade?
ISIS: Nothing; if you're wealthy.
AMERICAN: Or if you're a sociologist.
