Previously I had written that in the late 60’s/early 70’s, that William Peter Blatty was working towards winning an Oscar. I thought I remembered reading in a book somewhere that he was researching the story during the late 60’s, but I was unable to find much of anything on the internet to support that claim.
However, I did find that after him seeing the 1968 film Rosemary’s Baby, Blatty told his wife that he wanted to write a story like that. I also found that on New Year’s Eve of 1969 while attending a party, Blatty ran into the editor of Bantam Books, who asked Blatty what he was working on. Blatty responded that he was working on the story of a child possessed by a demon. The editor said, “I’ll publish that.” This led to Blatty signing a contract and was given a financial advance to write the novel about a demon-possessed child.
So there we have it…the evidence that he was headed towards winning an Oscar in the late 60’s. And of course, he began writing at his home the book that was published in 1971. Blatty would then write the adapted screenplay and produce the film released at the end of 1973. A film that would win him an Oscar in 1974.
SPEAKING OF THE DEMONIC
So apparently, there are many demons in California.
A mother of a child who had been socially transitioned behind her back by the school system in California was upset and decided prayer was needed. So she began her prayer, and soon there were many demonic responses to her after she used the name of Jesus. After the mayor (apparently the mayor) stopped her and told her “we don’t do prayer”, the mayor gave the mother 28 seconds to finish with her comments.
The mother continued with her Constitutional right to pray. The mayor interrupted her just seven seconds later, followed by the word “stop” a few seconds later. And 21 seconds after giving the mother 28 seconds, the mayor told her repeatedly that her time was up.
Anyway, if you ever get to see this clip of this mother praying in Ventura, California, be sure to take note of the demonic responses in that room as she prayed.
And speaking of the demonic and the politically-correct, praying for loved ones and other people who have been confused by the government and the public school system has been outlawed in Australia apparently.

After Walt Disney’s death in 1966, his brother Roy took over the project of building a park larger and improved upon the version of Disneyland in California. Walt Disney Productions began construction on the Magic Kingdom and the entire resort in 1967. The theme park opened on October 1, 1971. It has become the world’s most visited theme park.
In 2023, Americans spent $28.4 billion on amusement parks, about a 17% increase over the previous year. There were over 600 amusement establishments in 2023.
The Magic Kingdom is located between Orlando and The Gulf Of Mexico, though much closer to Orlando.
Many people still attend the park despite the fact that the Disney company has fought against Florida’s parental rights legislation in recent years. Parents still taking their children to Disney World despite the company’s stance against parents having rights to protect their young children from inappropriate indoctrination. Seems to be a bit ironic.
Anyway, an entertainment tax on television, movies, and amusement parks that would be at the same tax rate as what the top 1% should be paying on their federal income taxes (slightly above 50%) would help remind Americans that we are all in this together to help our country get out of our $36 trillion national debt.
CONFLICTING COMMITMENTS
I got behind a family vehicle recently at a stoplight and noticed two small TV’s above the back seats…playing identical children’s programming. And then I noticed the license plate with the words “Autism Awareness”. Too funny. Too funny.

In 1968, the MPAA adopted a classification system of rating completed films to their suitability for various age groups. Decades earlier, the organization was the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, which reviewed scripts before filming began in order to catch and delete offensive material.
The ratings created by the MPAA in 1968 were:
The new classification system in 1968 of reviewing completed films to then be rated…rather than reviewing scripts before filming began…gave the film industry new freedoms in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s to create films with more offensive material.

Today, social influencers are paid to deconstruct Christianity. They have massive accounts to spread social contagions, lies, and deception. So it seems fair for me to ask for donations in the fight against social contagions. I welcome donations from any of my readers who wish to donate. Thank you.

“It’s the world’s biggest something.” –an insult aimed at television, spoken by Charles Van Doren in the 1994 Best Picture nominee Quiz Show
Charles Van Doren–a real life character who had inside knowledge about television during its early years.
“…a long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right…Time makes more converts than reason.”
“In the following pages I offer nothing more than simple facts, plain arguments, and common sense; and have no other preliminaries to settle with the reader, than that he will divest himself of prejudice and prepossession, and suffer his reason and his feelings to determine for themselves; that he will put on, or rather that he will not put off the true character of a man, and generously enlarge his views beyond the present day.” –from Common Sense by Thomas Paine
