Hubris laughing at the Game of Death: (ignore this first statement--coming after these parenthesis-- because this post IS about the terrorism but I won't delete this sentence anyway due to demonstrating how no subject I attempt to write of is not inter-connected at this point to the terrorist regime--if I go beyond the mere superficiality of the topic.//A not-about-mind-control-death-squad terror attack/musing: My "theory" about how Bruce Lee may have been accidentally killed, after the performance in "Game of Death" (died the next day from inflammation in brain but probably also nervous system).
"Bruce lee vs kareem abdul jabbar ITA". Stefano Conte. November 10, 2009.
I believe that the video above is in Italian, but no matter because the point of reference I needed was displayed within the first 30 seconds of the opening shot of this sequence.
Jabbar, towering over Lee, maybe 1/3 of Lee's entire body height, gave him a kick in the upper torso in which his footprint on the yellow shirt literally encompassed a diagonal length of Lee's entire upper torso, even extending a bit into his midriff.
Lee had been nearly paralized in the history of his Martial Arts career. He had been told by his doctor that he would not be able to perform any more martial arts. Yet Lee, determined, performed a miracle, or at least it appeared as such.
The delicate fragility of the spine and spinal cord, under such even "healed" stress points, can "crack" even on a slight degree under such an unexpected huge blow to the entire upper spine region, thus affecting all the other vertebrae in a domino effect.
Lee complained, on the night he died (in his sleep) of a tremendous headache. Some friend gave him an antibiotic, or an some inflammation reducing drug which was prescribed to her, or it was an over-the-counter. Regardless, she was not a doctor, and Lee could not have fathomed that the wear-and-tear of an injury cannot sustain years of pounding and one of such a wide span of the body as this kick was, sustained probably the actual death blow but the actual fissure in Lee's "armor" was apparent, under autopsy, as inflammation of the brain/swelling and not an actual spinal cord break.
I truly hate it when an actor who was a decent sort of person, one can only assume (from a long time ago I do not refer to our current manifestation) makes a movie with a foreboding title, or theme, which happens eventually as a demise to the actor in "real life".
The "entertainment" value of having essentially a "giant" to contend with, after much exertion on lower "levels" of the area where mutliple fights had occurred (I saw in a video that the sequences of fights were shot in a very short time--I heard much of it all happened within the same day).
No matter how strong and agile Lee may have appeared, the former injury could not sustain this discrepancy in body differential--the impact of this huge foot (compared to the slight body size of Lee, relatively speaking) was too much for his body, no matter how well-trained it had been up to that point, but in a point of exhaustion, while having spent much of his defensive reserves, the impact essentially killed him on the spot but he died when this immune-system drug was taken and his body could take no more shock to the system--any more inflammation caused a severe counter-reaction probably his body had been fighting with white blood cell count at a skyrocket level and anything adjusting the normal body defense for his very clean and sensitive body--was just over the threshold.
I have thought of this many times, that trying to achieve some kind of grandiose spectacle or athletic or any other kind of miraculous display spectacle of endurance and strength when one has previously (or even if no earlier very debilitating injury has occurred) should be taken much more seriously. In order to "sell" this movie concept he literally gave all he had while shooting, and ultimately his life in the name of a movie called "game of death" and perhaps that is what Lee considered his acting career without realizing his underlying limitations. Perhaps believing he was above all limitations due to the celebrity hubris I have seen of the recent batch of celebrities their endless grooming to perceive of themselves as untouchable, as no law counteracts their endless criminal acts except in very rare cases.
They play game of death every day. Well, I thought I wasn't going to write about the expletives but all roads lead to Whorewood when you are referring to any theme--"you" as in "I" but in general, if any of "you" understood the enormous reach of this system then I use the term "you" as this does apply to most of "you". The grandiose hubris is actually a detriment and a deadly game of death, whether others die and you prevail and prosper off it, regardless the whole thing of hubris is a game of death for someone.

Edgar Allen Poe's short story The Masque of the Red Death is one of my favorite futuristic old stories about the hubris dancing itself into the Game of Death, mocking Death itself--and LOSING the game out of it's hubris.
