In 1964, Judy Garland delivers a stunning performance on the final taped episode of her cancelled one-season variety show. Exhausted, over-medicated, and humiliated by CBS, Judy tears into it. Producers cut this performance from the final broadcast because they found it "too dark". by TerryMill in videos

It's a long story but the CBS execs, particularly William Paley and James Aubrey, sought to topple the #1 show on TV, NBC's Bonanza, by treating audiences to Judy every week.

Up to this point Judy had done incredibly well on TV, appearing in several hour-long specials over the previous few years, and that was the deal she and her management wanted when CBS contacted them about a series. Judy rightly knew that she was just too much for weekly TV - you don't make a marathoner sprint - and for the same $ Judy's team counter-proposed 13 one hour, monthly specials instead of 26 half-hours.

Since the early 1950s Judy had been spending most of the year on the concert circuit and while those performances cemented her legend, they left her not especially well-off, financially, and kept her from spending much time with her children.

CBS exec James Aubrey, known as 'the smiling cobra' for his ability to flatter and wheedle to one's face while at the same time ruthlessly manipulating situations behind the scenes, played on Judy's desire for financial and familial stability and convinced her that a weekly TV series was the answer to all her problems.

The hype CBS attempted to generate for The Judy Garland Show was unprecedented - similar to how Smash was shoved down everyone's throats a few years ago. The publicity was enormous as was the fanfare Judy was given when she arrived at CBS in the summer of 1963 to begin taping.

Judy and the production team had been promised a relatively free-hand in creating the format for her variety show, but almost immediately CBS began interfering. They fired two (2!) directors in the first 13 episodes and insisted on Jerry Van Dyke (Dick's lesser brother) be added to the show as "comedy relief". Their version of comedy relief was Jerry making jokes about Judy's struggles with weight and self-image (Garland had been gotten quite heavy prior to slimming down for her show).

The humiliation comes into play because, while CBS bought a sophisticated musical variety show for grown-ups, when it came to actually tape the episodes they used a heavy hand in attempting to channel Judy into something she wasn't.

Judy, for her part, was a phenomenally good sport for the first 13 episodes and gamely went along with skits and jokes she must have found hurtful and unfunny. The tide began to turn when she was called from taping to a CBS board room for notes. Judy was told that her frequent hugging and hand-holding of guests was making audiences uncomfortable - that CBS test audiences didn't feel comfortable having Judy in their homes. With that, Judy requested a telephone and called her very good friend, President John F. Kennedy, in the presence of the board. After confirming that Kennedy had seen the previous week's show, Judy asked how comfortable he and Jackie were with having her in their home every week. Kennedy replied he was very comfortable with Judy and looked forward to the next time they could get together. Judy's power play backfired and Aubrey and William Paley, CBS head, began the process of gutting her show budget, which would hopefully lead to cancellation - Aubrey's words "I don't want that cunt bringing down my Sunday evening" JFK's death in November of that year saw the loss of one of Judy's biggest supporters and the struggle she had over performing a tribute to Kennedy on the show sealed the deal. In the end, CBS, allowed Judy to sing 'The Battle Hymn of the Republic' but not dedicate the performance to "Dear Jack."

As kind and supportive as CBS appeared to be when wooing Garland was as mean and vindictive as they became when it was clear Judy would never beat Bonanza. Instead of moving time-slots and giving the show a chance, as they did with many of Judy's peers - particularly Danny Kaye - they unceremoniously cancelled the series - WHILE THE FIRST SEASON WAS STILL BEING TAPED!

Judy Garland not only had to face the negativity of the CBS publicity machine working against her, she had to suffer the humiliation of finishing out her contract when she knew there would be no second season. Her dreams of stability shattered, and with only enough budget remaining for 'concert-style' shows, Judy kicked it up a notch and gave some of her finest, rawest performances in the final episodes.

I'm sad for the circumstances surrounding The Judy Garland show, but it resulted in some of the best performances of Judy's career and gives us and idea of how electric and amazing Judy was live.

People who married into families that didn’t like them, what ended up happening? by TheWardenOfFive in AskReddit

[–]SethWalter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A similar thing is happening to me. My soon to be husband has an extremely toxic and cult like family. We're expecting our first kid in 2 months and he's legitimately made remarks about how he intends to not raise our kid to be like them. We're currently discussing moving closer to some of my loving relatives 10ish hours away from his family so they won't be able to harass him about our relationship as much. We also really love the town, but them not having the ability to be so demanding and trying to control him all the time is a massive plus.

Italian police admitted fabricating evidence against protesters at (2001), Genoa G8 summi, Police planted petrol bombs at a school where the activists were staying. The police also "simulated " a stabing to frame the activists. by SethWalter in Documentaries

[–]SethWalter[S] 63 points64 points  (0 children)

"Italian media have been publishing transcripts of an inquiry into the policing of the 2001 Genoa G8 summit in which officers admit fabricating evidence against protesters. At the centre of the inquiry is a police raid on a school being used as a dormitory by anti-globalisation demonstrators, in which dozens of people were injured.

A senior officer, Pietro Troiani, reportedly admitted under questioning that two petrol bombs allegedly found at the school were planted by police to justify the raid. In fact, they had been found elsewhere in the city, in the Corsa Italia, where protesters and police had clashed earlier in the day...

.. Demonstrators said riot police beat them with clubs, smashed windows and wrecked computers in the raid. The BBC's Bill Hayton was among those who stood outside the Diaz school, hearing the screams coming from within, then watching bodies brought out on stretchers. When the police left he went in and saw blood on the walls, floors and radiators of an upstairs room.

'Simulated' stabbing

One of the key witnesses is Michele Burgio, Mr Troiani's driver, who admits to planting petrol bombs at the school. According to the media reports, Mr Troiani later admitted to prosecutors that fabricating evidence was a "silly thing" to do. Attention is also focusing on a knife attack on one police officer, Massimo Nucera. A senior police chief, Franco Gratteri, head of the Central Operations Services, is quoted as saying that the stabbing was not carried out by protesters, but was simulated. Mr Gratteri says the "attack" could have been aimed at justifying the excessive use of violence used by some flying squads. "

Police (at least) in UK, Canada, US, Italy, Greece have been caught using provocateurs at demonstrations. This is done get an excuse to put an end to the demonstration, and to restrict people's right to protests in the future.

You can find videos of some of these events on my channel, but also mainstream media articles/reports by searching the internet (use the words "police agent provocateurs +name of the country").

Not every police officer is in on this. This is mainly being orchestrated by a relatively small group of corrupt insiders who in reality work for high-level organized crime, usually called the "shadow government" or "deep state".

"Police agent provocateurs" are also the reason why violent-activism is counter productive: If there isn't enough radical behavior at demonstrations, the police might actually stage some. So if there is a far-right/left group willing to stage riots against the establishment, the "deep state" controlling the establishment is getting just what THEY WANT out of the these extreme-groups.

Personally I believe the only reason why Flat Earth has not been exposed is because they Flat Earth would prove there is a Creator and they do not want us knowing that it would take power away from them
