Not surprisingly, less than 48 hours after Vox Day announced his newest grandiose project of a foray into film, his abject toadies at the Bounding Into Comics site dashed off an article filled with effusive praise for the upcoming project. John F. Trent, the CEO of Bounding Into Comics, never passes up an opportunity to give his approval to any enterprise with which Vox Day is connected.
Now, while looking over Bounding Into Comics today, we struck with an interesting disclaimer posted at the bottom of the site. It reads: "Some of the organizations with products on our site may pay us a referral fee or affiliate commission when you click to apply for those products."
This is especially interesting when one observes that Bounding Into Comics reports over $5 million in annual revenues and doesn't seem to have much in the way of actual product it generates on its own website. While there's nothing illegal in any of this, it does make one wonder just how 'independent' Bounding Into Comics' opinions and reviews actually are. Especially after hiring a large advertiser facilitating firm in 2017 to beef up their financially influential connections.
"Before joining Intermarkets, Bounding Into Comics had neither a proactive growth or monetization strategy. Within a month of joining Intermarkets’ Portfolio, users on boundingintocomics.com increased 350 percent. As a result, Bounding Into Comics has been able to focus on expanding both their publishing and editorial team, as well as seeing a steady increase in revenues."
Thus it doesn't appear that Bounding Into Comics is quite the 'grassroots' organization it portrays itself to be. Intermarkets Media is led by one Kevin Lucido---a rather shady individual who also heads Aurora Media Inc. Lucido, like many Red Pills, seems to have a penchant for launching frivolous lawsuits against his enemies. What's even more interesting though, is that Aurora Media and Bounding Into Comics not only are located in the same city, they share the same business address. This address is 1818 Library Street in Reston, Virginia. And guess what's really at this address?
Where have we seen this kind of thing happening before? But more suspicious than simply sharing a blind address with Kevin Lucido, we have to ask exactly what the relationship between Bounding Into Comics and Aurora Media really is. John Trent has published articles in Tell Me Now and The Political Insider---both of which are subsidiaries of Aurora Media. Incidentally, here's a specimen of the level of reporting at these publications:
Trent was a huge supporter of Gamergate and has been a leader in the so-called Comicsgate movement along with Vox Day. Now is it any coincidence that Trent hooked up with Lucido in 2017, right after Comicsgate launched? Because another Lucido owned business is Sports: Unstoppable---an online gaming site.
To reiterate: there's nothing (apparently) illegal in any of Trent's or Lucido's, or Vox Day's dealings here. But it all looks mighty queer and something that a legitimate enterprise would prudently avoid.
Today is Independence Day, and we could all use a break from discussing political criminals, dope and sex rings, and cults for a time. I thought that today would a good day to bring up a theory I've had recently about the late authoress Ayn Rand and her epic novel, Atlas Shrugged.
Personally, I'm not an Objectivist nor a Randian; but I've always enjoyed Ayn Rand's novels. She captured human psychology in a brilliant way. And as long time readers also know, I like classic films. In fact, we used to do a weekly review of vintage films and TV series and we're considering bringing it back, BTW.
How these two subjects connect is here. Ayn Rand worked in Hollywood during its glory days. On January 1st, 1930 the first full-sound serial was released by a small production studio called the Hollywood Pictures Corporation. The serial was titled The Voice from the Sky. For many years, the serial was believed lost, and some film historians questioned whether or not it even ever existed. It had a very limited run and didn't serve all parts of the U.S.
However, the serial was recently rediscovered and at last report was in the process of restoration. After seeing a few clips and reading a synopsis of the story, I theorized that The Voice from the Sky was the inspiration for Atlas Shrugged.
Basically the plot of The Voice from the Sky was this: a mad scientist operating out of a secret base in a hidden valley develops a transmitter which overrides the world's radio signals and issues an ultimatum. He claims to possess a type of ray which can shut down all the motors of the world and grind industry to a halt. Secret Agent Jack Deering is dispatched to ferret out the base before the madman delivers on his threat. There is also an interesting character in disguise called The Man From Nowhere (c.f. 'Who is John Galt?) who weaves in and out of the film.
So what do the Randians among our readers think? There certainly are a lot of parallels between the serial and Ayn Rand's epic. Feel free to write your thoughts in the comments.
Vox Day, a.k.a. Teddy Spaghetti is at it again. He and his cultish followers have still not given up the delusion that they are major movers-and-shakers in the Mass Media. Castalia House Publishing, Infogalactic, Arkhaven Comics, Social Galactic: all have been humiliating failures. Yet the cult goes on as if none of these matter.
Unbelievably, Teddy Spaghetti announced today, amidst great hoopla from his supporters, this:
This has got to be a media first: the first film ever made off a comic strip that's losing money.
So, the new film features the repulsive Red Pill heroine, Rebel Girl, the central figure in a comics series which was supposedly launched in protest at the oversaturation of female characters in mainstream publications. The character's alter-ego is named Shiloh Summers, although why Vox named a neo-Confederate character after a battle that the Secessionists lost, is a riddle. It's suspected by some that Rebel Girl is based on transgender Red Pill activist, Erin Sith. She's always drawn with an acne-ridden face and cheap, trashy outfits.
Vox mentions that some nobody named Scooter Downey will be producing this film. Looking up his bio on film sites, we don't find much about him.
The only website with much to say about Scooter Downey was one with the rather telling title, Red Pill Religion. Downey apparently converted from Atheism to the Red Pill Cult---not a huge leap, by any means.
The book Downey recommends is a textbook on priming audiences to persuade them, regardless of the message's content. Nothing cultish about that, right? Here is the synopsis from Goodreads:
"Cialdini draws on an array of studies and narratives to outline the specific techniques you can use on online marketing campaigns and even effective wartime propaganda. He illustrates how the artful diversion of attention leads to successful pre-suasion and gets your targeted audience primed and ready to say, 'Yes.'"
Definitely sounds like a media figure we can trust...NOT. Here's Downey's favorite image of Christ, which speaks volumes about his alleged Christianity:
This whole thing is ramping up to be another fiasco. We'll get the popcorn ready for when the feature comes out---if it actually does.
For a long time now, we've argued that the Pentagon is one of the Beltway's most obnoxious Swamps in serious need of draining. Progress on this front has been very slow, for two main reasons. The first is that many Conservatives have the same attitude toward the Military as Liberals have toward Public Education: that it's an institution above reproach and hence it fails to fall under very little public scrutiny. The second is that the Military was especially loathed by post-Reagan Era Deep State Liberals and Neocons; and this group introduced a culture of corruption and Political Correctness into the DoD which is deeply entrenched now because of the Pentagon's rigid structure of authority. Military bureaucracies are by their very nature more difficult to manage than their civilian counterparts.
But recently a bipartisan Bill was introduced into Congress exposing the incredible level of child porn traffic inside the DoD. The End Network Abuse Act is designed to do what RINOs like James Mattis refused to do and break up such networks within the Pentagon. The Bill is co-sponsored by Virginia Democrat Abigail Spanberger and North Carolina Republican Mark Meadows.
Congresswoman Spanberger said a press conference yesterday that: “Sexual abuse and the sexual exploitation of children are horrific crimes, and we should pursue all avenues to combat these crimes, eliminate images of exploitation from the internet, and prosecute those who traffic in these images. The notion that the Department of Defense’s network and Pentagon-issued computers may be used to view, create, or circulate such horrifying images is a shameful disgrace, and one we must fight head on. As a former federal agent who worked child exploitation and child pornography cases, I recognize the need to improve the training available to those responsible for bringing perpetrators to justice."
Well, indeed! The National Criminal Justice Training Program learned in 2018 that Pentagon-based IP Addresses rank in the Top 20 originating sources of Child Porn traffic worldwide. As Congressman Meadows stated at the same press conference, this is a completely inexcusable situation. It's estimated that over 5,000 Pentagon employees may be involved in these rings.
However, this investigation should go much further and also punish---in some way---the officials who knew about this problem and did nothing. This isn't an issue that Pentagon officials just learned about yesterday: Federal agencies investigating child porn traffic have been notifying the DoD of their suspicions since late in the Bush Junior Administration and during the entire course of the Obama years. It's a national disgrace that our military can't even read battle maps correctly but can operate sophisticated sex networks with no problem. The fact that even Congress can unify on this issue illustrates how serious it is.
With the 4th of July holiday coming up, politicians will be at many events making speeches. Be sure to bring this Bill up at these speeches and get your Congressman or Senator on board.
Late last week, the Carabinieri, Italy's federal police force, smashed a vicious White Slavery ring operating out of the town of Bibbiano in the state of Reggio Emilia. As of today, 26 officials---both local politicians (including the mayor) and state welfare operatives--- are in jail following a year-long investigation which has shocked the Italian Peninsula with its findings.
The Italian news outlet, Il Fatto Quotidiano describes in graphic detail what these rats were actually doing. To summarize it as much as possible: social workers were taking children and legal minors out of homes on false pretexts of abuse and placing them in a home in Bibbiano. Then corrupt doctors and psychiatrists on the gang's payroll would get admissions of the false abuse from their victims---often extorted under torture---and place them in 'foster care' with sex perverts who'd paid bribes to obtain the objects of their desire. Sadly, Italy abolished the death penalty shortly after WW2; because a firing squad is what all of these scum deserve.
Italy's Minister of Family Welfare, Lorenzo Fontana, believes that the gang raked in "thousands of Euros" and launched an official inquiry into the whereabouts of victims still unaccounted for. He turned over the investigation today to an independent commission led by Italian Vice-President Luigi di Maio. Di Maio vowed to extend the probe nationwide. Already, some in both the Italian Government and Media are questioning whether innocent victims have been sent abroad; and it's quite probable that Interpol will become involved at some point.
Why this scandal may reach our shores is because, for many years now, White Slave trafficking involving our own political and cultural elites has been widely suspected, but never proven. During the ISIS Caliphate, thousands of girls and young women disappeared from both Syria and Iraq and never been found. It's believed they were trafficked through Turkey---where DNC operatives Richard Gephardt, the Podesta Brothers, George Soros, and others ran alleged 'refugee services' NGOs. Human trafficking also came up during the Fat Leonard Scandal, but was quickly swept under the rug by the Pentagon.
Most of the discussion about American Elites and White-Slave Trafficking has been discussed widely on so-called Conspiracy Sites, but we shouldn't dismiss the details out-of-hand because we disbelieve such sources. Since President Trump started Draining the Swamp, many of the suspicions we long held of our so-called 'Elites' not only turned out to be true, but often ended up being worse than we imagined. In other words, if some of Italy's missing youth start turning up in Hollywood or the Beltway, I wouldn't be at all surprised.
What can't be dismissed casually is that White Slavery is genuinely a serious international problem and is happening here on our shores too. Decades of Feminist exaggeration and Manosphere denial have largely made us blind to the fact. But it's likely no coincidence that the Department of Justice announced shortly before the Italian case broke that it was deploying the same enforcement model against Human Trafficking that has successfully being brought to bear on the Opioid Rings. We'll see how this develops.
Well, admittedly I didn't pay much attention to the recent Democratic Party Debate. My feeling was that I could probably get about the same effect by watching old Soviet Propaganda videos; except that the latter wouldn't have been as boring. In the typical fashion of the modern NPC Democrat, the watchword of the hour is: outrage. Liberals rarely known why they're outraged; they simply are because their leaders are mad, so they should be too.
So, while back in the Big City this weekend, I spotted a fellow who looked like a typical Democrat voter:
And decided to interview him on the problems faced by Liberals in today's America.
"Glad you asked me that," he replied. "Cuz' tomorrow's the 1st, and that's a busy day!"
"How so?"
"Well, first I have to pick up my welfare check. Then I have to go to the legal pot store and buy some dope with my Medical Marijuana Subsidy."
"Then I gotta check with the landlord and make sure he got my Section 8 Housing Voucher for July. Then it's the food stamps---got to go the grocery store and get some food and stuff: they won't let you buy beer with those things...
"After that, it's off to the Free Clinic to get my Obamacare meds. Sometimes, I gotta wait as long as 20 minutes. After After that, it's free lunch at the local Food Bank.
"Then I have to go to the Public Library and use their free computers to print out some flyers. Then get my monthly Low-Income Bus Pass and take off."
"So you're looking for a job?"
"Jobs? What jobs? Why, I'm going Downtown to the Public Square to protest the whole stinkin' system that don't give guys like me a chance!"
"I should have figured..." I sighed.
After moving out to Trump Country recently, some business took me back to the Big City today, and I received the sickening sight of seeing the Rainbow Flag flying side-by-side by the National and State banners after disembarking the train. The whole city was awash in these revolting emblems; as if every business and government office was trying to outdo one another in displaying how 'gay-friendly' they were. Within my living memory people would go to great lengths to distance themselves from such behaviors. But the Media blitzkrieg---encouraged by the social gadflies in the Obama Administration---coined a neologism: 'homophobia' to shame and silence all opposition. The Ameroboobs and NPCs quickly picked up the meme although no one ever could define what it meant. Because in reality, it means nothing.
I had nearly forgotten that the 26th of June marked the 4-year anniversary of the disgraceful Supreme Court decision which nullified the entire meaning of marriage in the United States. On that infamous date, three Liberals, a Swamp RINO, and a fake Catholic voted by a 5-4 margin that homosexuals were a protected minority---the first time ever that an interest group representing a lifestyle choice was granted such a privilege. It's interesting that only a few years before that the American Psychological Association declassified homosexuality as a mental disorder by a similar one-vote margin. At the time, many of us were shocked by the Supreme Court decision since the Plaintiffs' arguments were utterly absurd and unconstitutional---as the dissenting judges clearly stated. Former Justice Antonin Scalia led the opposition and died under mysterious circumstances just a few months later. Such was life during the days of the Deep State.
Of course, within the larger scheme of things, neither SCOTUS nor the APA can nullify the laws of Nature. Neither can Academia simply declare gender a matter of opinion with no basis in biology or psychology and make it true. In 2015, the Enemies of Civilization scoffed that no lightning fell from Heaven over the SCOTUS decision; but they forget that history has shown us again and again that many wicked ideologies were once in the ascendant but ended in disaster. And the self-styled 'Rainbow Pride Movement' will bring us to the same conclusion unless we work to defeat it.
Our enemies were quick to inveigle themselves and their ideology into every corner of society, as the flag incident mentioned in our first paragraph symbolically shows. Christian businesses were sued over Rights of Conscience; parents were forbidden to seek medical or psychological help for their children who were sexually confused. Schools rushed to force homosexual ideology upon children too young to understand it; and even Corporate America turned the Gay Mafia loose on the little ones.
This social blitz included Disney cartoons featuring homosexual love-scenes and has hit its nadir with Drag Queen Story Hours being promoted in public libraries and schools. But it's not really about grooming children---right????
No, we're told, it's all about 'pride' and Civil Rights. We're told to celebrate in June (the traditional American month for weddings) to honor all the contributions that homosexuals have made to our culture. Let's take a moment to do that.
Homosexual infiltration in the Boy Scouts has led to over 12,000 cases of abuse and counting. Their infiltration into the Catholic Church has led to hundreds of cases of sexual abuse. The number of homosexual abuse cases in public schools and the military is unknown, but doubtless very high. Any institution where young men or boys are had a continual battle keeping these 'prideful' predators out. Today, of course, except for the Church---homosexual predators are openly welcomed in all of these organizations.
Homosexuals have been quite prominent among our leading serial killers and mass-murderers. Klebold and Harris of Columbine infamy were homosexual lovers as were serial killers Henry Lee Lucas and his lover Otis Toole. Adam Lanza, the fiend behind Sandy Hook was exposed as both a homosexual and a pederast besides; Vester Flanigan---another mass-shooter was openly homosexual. Numerous school shootings were committed by students who allegedly were homosexual; Eliot Roger of Isla Vista infamy was clearly a latent homosexual---as evidenced by his Manifesto. The same is highly suspected of Anders Breivik.
John Wayne Gacy, Wayne Williams---the list could go on. The City of Seattle in 2013 elected its first (openly) homosexual mayor. He resigned in disgrace after allegations surfaced that he had drugged and raped several young men. Washington's first (openly) homosexual State legislator, Cal Anderson is alleged to have infected knowingly several young men with the AIDS virus. It used to be that the FBI kept such men on watch-lists, because their lovers were not infrequently recruited as spies for foreign governments.
This is what we're told to 'celebrate' and be proud of in June. Some 'contributions'.
If we hope to Make America Great Again, we need to restore pride in this:
Instead of this:
