Paris Olympics Slammed for Drag Queens, Blasphemous Imagery in Opening Ceremony
Headline USA ^ | 07/27/24 | Luis Cornelio

Posted on 07/27/2024 8:20:22 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

The 2024 Olympics in France opened Friday with a controversial ceremony featuring drag queens and what many described as homages to satanic symbolism, igniting a firestorm of negative reactions on Twitter.

“This is crazy,” podcast host Clint Russell said in a tweet. “There are 2.4 billion Christians on earth and apparently the Olympics wanted to declare loudly to all of them, right out of the gate NOT WELCOME.”

The infamous re-creation of Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper began with a woman in a blue dress and crown, making a heart sign with her hands in front of a DJ deck, accompanied by several drag queens.

A young child stood nearby, rubbing her hands through her arms, while an individual wearing makeup and an open blazer approached her in a seemingly inappropriate manner.

Gays Against Groomers took notice of the child and voiced their disgust on Twitter. “We are absolutely disgusted to see these drag queens and half-naked gender cultists dance around little kids at the Olympics for the entire world to watch,” they said.

The show then transitioned into a runway event, with semi-nude models taking the stage. Drag queen Piche drew significant attention on social media, sporting a blond wig, beard and female performance attire.

Reality show Drag Race France host Nicky Doll and contestant Paloma also made appearances, according to several tweets.

Critics also noticed the inclusion of what they described as a “pale horse,” likely referencing one of the four horsemen from the Book of Revelation.

“They put in a ‘pale horse’ just in case you weren’t sure that this was all intentional. Straight out of revelations. Wtf is happening,” Russell wrote.

Another performance featured a headless Marie Antoinette, the last queen consort of France before the French Revolution. She was depicted alongside scenes from Les Misérables and Eugène Delacroix’s Liberty Leading the People painting, commemorating the July Revolution. Metal band Gojira played a song from Les Mis during this segment.

Marie Antoinette was decapitated after being convicted of several crimes after the Revolution.

One Observer Tweeted:

“There are no words to describe how repugnant parts of the Opening Ceremony in Paris were.

Mocking the summary execution of Queen Marie Antoinette, however, crossed every line. Today, as in 1793, the Paris junta revels in violence and gratuitous cruelty.” pic.twitter.com/DH1fF60wcs

Despite the backlash, French President Emmanuel Macron tweeted, “This is France!” and added, “Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité,” the national motto of France. The Olympics will run from July 26 through Aug. 11.

Were representatives of the Democrat convention planning committee present to take notes?

Why didn’t they have a show featuring a young man having sex with his grandmother (or a corpse)?

You know, like Macron is doing with his 96 year old wife. It’s so stereotypical French. /spit

they don’t care about ‘being slammed’ anymore- there will be more and more hostility towards morality, conservatives, Christians and Jews in the days to come as we near the end times- We are seeing the anger, the lying, the deceit, the mocking etc rapidly increasing- next up will be outright open persecution here in the states (For now, the law protects when the demon driven try to usurp the rights of Christians and conservatives and Jews, but soon corrupt courts, which are also rapidly increasing, will find in favor of those who persecute others)- other countries already persecute the above mentioned-

The handwriting is on the wall

Christians will be treated with contempt until they act like Muslims. Irony.

I won’t be watching, and they wouldn’t make a penny out of me if I did anyway because I cut the cord a long time ago.

I think the Oscars had similar horsesh@t. It’s all the RAGE today. They want people to be offended because that is the new aesthetic — SHOCK VALUE. They can’t produce anything sublime and beautiful — which is hard to do — so they go for cheap stand in of shock value. Getting hit over the head with a lead pipe is now an aesthetic experience by them. Their evil clam bake will wither away into slime and loathing. Nothing sublime from them... just slime.

They worship evil.

Ayn Rand had an excellent quote about art—it is the “selective recreation of reality”.

That meant that artists reflect their own values.

If the artist is evil they have evil creations.

It is evil that is “all the rage today” because evil people are in charge right now.

The show was meant to depict the downfall of Western Culture and the Seine was turned into the River Styx. Serena Williams almost threw up when she realized what she was a part of. This show didn’t honor anyone in western society, it debased all of us. Muslims were notably not included.

I don’t know why this came to mind, but just prior to WWII Berlin was the most decadent city in Europe.
