Along with Left-Wing whackos having TDS attacks over a sidewalk decoration, there's been a serious controversy raging over an article by Lori Alexander of The Transformed Wife blog. The title is Men Prefer Debt-Free Virgins Without Tattoos; by Mrs. Lori's admission, this article has 'gone viral'. Red Pill cultists Dalrock, Chateau Heartiste, and Reality Doug have all chimed in with their less-than-two-cents-worth.
I personally will agree with the authoress about tattoos. Personally I can't stand them. They might look alright on 250-lb. bikers, lumberjacks, and sailors; but on a female body they're about as attractive as some of those 60's avant-garde artists who drew moustaches on the Mona Lisa. Note that this is only a personal preference. I know a lot of guys who like tattooed women.
But virginity and debt? Let's just point out here that most women probably find sexual exclusiveness and freedom from debt attractive in men as well. But that aside, what really caused all of the uproar was the suggestion in the article that young women should avoid debt by foregoing college---the expenses of which are responsible for much public debt.
That's so; but the scandalous debt from education has more to do with rampant corruption in American Academia than anything else. And the highest debts incurred are for vital services like medicine, science, and engineering. What normal man would consider a relationship with a woman in, or studying in, these professions to be a bad thing?
The Red Pills do; mostly because they don't relish the idea of educating women in the first place. Dalrock and Reality Doug especially took some comments about the article and wedged them into their AWALT heresies. Dalrock took issue with Wendy Griffith who said:
"Ladies, the Lord wants you to know that you are a pearl of great price, a treasure worth pursuing and protecting. You are worth fighting for and, like the pearl in the parable at the head of this chapter, worth everything it might cost a guy to obtain you. You are worth someone sacrificing his time, his routine, his comfort, his money, his whatever in order to have you. You are worth it! You are a prize to be won. Don’t settle for Crumbs."
To Dalrock and other Red Pills, Love never factors into gender relations, so they completely miss the point that installing confidence in women might help them choose better men. Reality Doug lays it out plainly:
"You (pretty much every Western man, call me pompous) don’t understand women because you greatly overestimate their human value from a cultural perspective, which considers the time dimension and presumes probable survival and replication. Animals have a ‘present’ perspective. The women is mentally an animal (instincts first) that knows what you care about but does not understand what you care about. She is built for manipulation not conscious thinking...Woman’s psychologically manifest and immediate goal, in service of her ultimate evolutionary purpose of advancing her genes with the practical baseness of a wild animal, is relative herd status."
This is just stupid; and reflects the emotional immaturity of the Red Pills, who are also moral and intellectual pygmies. Mature men don't consider women as 'animals' but as human beings. And, as fallible human beings, are liable to do things like accumulate debts and lose their virginity. Thus it follows logically that while a man may prefer certain qualities; a mature man doesn't expect perfection. Nor is a man who finds Love some sort of a chump because he values the object of his desire.
The whole strength of monogamy is based upon couples valuing one another. This is because monogamy is combination of strengths. There is the power inherent in love. To turn it into a 'game' of competition and power defeats its entire purpose.

SO WHERE'S ARKHAVEN?
This week's Stock Market correction in social media stocks has the Manosphere's Red Pills giddy with excitement. They've been banned on many of those sites---mostly for doxxing, trolling, harassment, etc. They have their collective hopes up that Facebook, Twitter, and others are headed for financial oblivion. These corporations are nowhere near economic collapse---their stock values were hyperinflated---but the Red Pills can always dream, can't they?
Vox Day has been flapping his arms lately, hoping that Tor Books will collapse soon too. Tor won't publish Vox' less-than-mediocre science fiction, but does publish works by John Scalzi. Scalzi is actually a good writer whom Vox bitterly envies. Now Vox is especially exorcised because another Tor author dared criticize Arkhaven Comics---the Vox Day-run front that's supposed to overthrow the 'hegemony' of publishers Marvel and DC. It seems that Jon Del Arroz, an Arkhaven operative and Vox toady, referred to himself as a 'bestselling author' and a Tor writer disputed that appellation. Whatever Del Arroz said in response got him suspended (again) from Twitter.
But this brings up an interesting point; one that all of Vox' disciples would do well to consider. What has Arkhaven really got to show for all that crowd-sourced income?
Well, it seems that, as of June, Arkhaven is sharing less than 4% of comic market share with an unknown number of 'less than top 20' publishers. These all currently have less than 0.3% of market share apiece. That's hardly much of a challenge to Marvel (38%) or DC (32%). Vox doesn't even rate a per cent; he's in per mils.
Vox boasts that Arkhaven is a top-seller on Amazon. But that's Amazon retail where there is little or no competition. As it happens, Amazon has a dedicated site for comics called Comixology. What happens when you search for Arkhaven there?
By the way, the same thing happens when searching online with other major retailers and distributors like Comix Zone:
Or Dreamland Comics:
Then searching for Alt-Hero; Arkhaven's flagship series, we find that Midtown Comics, one of the largest retailers in the US, knows nothing about it:
And even on the Comic Books Subreddit, one of the nation's largest discussion forums on the subject, Arkhaven hasn't even been noticed:
I wonder if all of those donors to Arkhaven's crowd-sourcing can demand a refund? Because it doesn't appear that Arkhaven is actually doing much to promote sales. If they're going to be competitive with other publishers, they need to start competing.
But the Arkhaven fiasco is nothing new with Vox and his cult of fanatics. A little over a year ago, Infogalactic was going to dethrone Wikipedia as the online reference source of record. It hasn't even come close.
Unfortunately, fanatics are rarely discouraged by reality. But the next time you see a Vox-related project on a crowd-sourcing site, caveat emptor.

GENDER ESSENTIALISM
There were a pair of really good articles up today, on similar themes. One was from the blog, Freedom Through Empowerment which challenged the Feminist myth of toxic masculinity. Feminist writers---who are quite creative in dreaming up neologisms for nonexistent concepts---believe that our culture is essentially poisoned by masculine domination. The idea, of course, is absurd: both in that masculinity is essentially negative and that men actually dominate society.
The other article was posted at See There's Thing Called Biology, which questioned some of the hateful rhetoric of the Red Pills. I'm not sure of her take on the 'Metoo' Movement; but the authoress does raise some points about the unwillingness of Christian leaders to take sexual abuse seriously. The churches' neglect on these issues, is really due largely to Red Pill infiltration. However, the US Conference of Catholic Bishops issued a joint statement some time ago on Domestic Violence. But the Red Pills would likely deny most of these points and dismiss them as 'Feminist.'
Which brings us to a term that some angry Feminist wrote to me in response lately: Gender Essentialism. Here's how Wikipedia defines this term:
"Gender Essentialism is the theory that there are certain universal, innate, biologically or psychologically-based features of gender that are at the root of observed differences between men and women...Essentialism thus refers to the existence of fixed characteristic, given attributes, and historical functions which limit the possibilities of change and of social reorganization."
The Feminists think that Essentialism is a very bad thing. However, such would contradict their notions of 'toxic masculinity'. How could masculinity be socially toxic without essential elements of masculinity? On the other hand, if there is nothing essentially feminine, how would society benefit from empowering women in the first place?
The Red Pills, being reactionaries, hold the opposite position. They believe that women have an essential nature---which is wholly negative. Men however are categorized into different archetypes: Betas, Gammas, Omegas, Zetas---but by converting (taking the Red Pill) they can become Alpha supermen to whom all things are possible.
In reality, these fixed characteristics inherent in gender are the very things which make change and social reorganization possible. It's the family unit---rightly called the bedrock of civilization---which has driven mankind to grow into communities and, ultimately, into nations. The social stability provided by monogamy and a recognition of gender polarity is why the Western World grew and prospered far ahead of other cultures.
Thus it stands to reason that breaking that foundation will lead to social decline. Societies which are strictly patriarchal (i.e. the despotic countries of the Arabian Peninsula) or matriarchal (i.e. some of tribes of Western and Central Africa) haven't progressed much beyond the state of barbarism. That's where the gender supremacists would see the world return. If anyone doubts this, witness Feminists rhapsodizing about the days when a Wise Woman ran a community or the Red Pills longing for a God-Emperor surrounded by his Alpha lords and princes.
It stands to reason too that harmonious gender relations obviously make for a happier and better society. And that's another thing the gender supremacists don't want. It's easier to control a divided society. That's also the reason why both Feminists and Red Pills are so notoriously racist.
Essentialism? Yes it exists, but it is a fact and not a social construct. Embrace it; don't scorn it.

SCIENTOLOGY CULT FORCED TO PAY ABUSE SETTLEMENT
The vicious Scientology Cult lost a major long-running legal battle yesterday. The cult's lawyers threw up the sponge after it became clear that they were headed for a trial which they were bound to lose, and settled with the plaintiff for an unspecified sum.
The plaintiff was one Laura DeCrescenzo, who alleged that she was forced by the cult to have an abortion at the age of 17. Her attorney, John Blumberg, predicted last week that the Scientologist hierarchy would opt to avoid trial, which was scheduled for August 13th.
The Corporate Media had nothing to say about the settlement, or even worse they were silent about the hideous details which were to be presented as evidence. Laura's testimony about the treatment of young women inside the cult reads like The Diary of Anne Frank, only worse. Women are employed in conditions as inhuman as sweatshops; forced into marriages; forced to have abortions; imprisoned for offenses; beaten, raped, whipped and isolated from their families. This isn't 'Pizzagate' or 'Q Anon' this goes on in the US under the pretense of 'religious freedom' every day.
Now, every time somebody whispers in the Media's collective ear about 'abuse' in the Catholic Church, it makes headlines. If the Church settles out of court to avoid scandal; the press treats them as guilty regardless of the circumstances. But Scientology gets a free pass.
Why is this? Probably because Scientologists are well represented in the Corporate Media. You can bet that behind the well-known actors, performers, and journalists among their number, there are likely hundreds of lesser known producers, writers, directors, and media executives. The legal firms defending Scientology in the DeCresenzo Case includes Kendall, Brill, and Kelly LLP of Los Angeles---who are specialists in media-related laws. Another is Rabinowicz, Boudin, Standard, Krinsky, and Liebermann, PC of Broadway, NYC. They too advertise that "Art and Media Law" is among their specialties. Jeffers, Mangels, Butler, and Mitchell LLP, whose office is on the very Avenue of the Stars in Los Angeles, are also retained by the Entertainment Industry, according to their website.
Even if this case had gone to trial, it would likely have been blacked out by the media anyway.
Personally, I would like to have seen it go to trial for the wider reason that it would have forced a Federal Court to rule on the legality of forcing an abortion on someone who was a legal minor. The fact that the Scientologists' high-priced legal talent couldn't find a single justification after nearly a decade of litigation seems to imply that there are no such legal grounds. That one we'll have to leave to the pro-life activists.
Meanwhile, Scientology's commander-in-chief David Miscavage got hurt where it hurts his breed the worst: in the wallet. Congratulations to everybody who got some justice done; let's hope it won't be the last.

MANOSPHERE DECLARES: 'CONSERVATIVES ARE LOSERS'
Roosh Valizadeh, the Red Pill shaman who runs the Alt-RINO Return of Kings blog, has penned an article on Roosh V announcing that he rejects the Conservative label because---according to him---Conservatives are losers. And he, being a manly Alpha leader, doesn't want anybody thinking that he is a loser, too. Well, a lot of us think that he is anyway, but that's beside the point.
So let's hear why we're losers. According to Roosh, "For the world to get where it is today, with the complete elimination of tradition in favor of a globohomo world where diddling little children is becoming normalized, Conservatives would have had to have lost every meaningful culture war in the history of man."
I suppose that could be argued if tradition really were completely eliminated as Roosh claims. There are movements afoot to do this is, but they have been losing ground. The Trump Administration broke a huge stranglehold these Leftist agenda-driven groups had simply by defunding them. Britain has split from the EU; traditionalists are winning elections in the West. And, in Asia, Africa, and South America there's no legal acceptance of the homo movement. Homosexuality is a criminal offense in 73 countries while only 23 recognize homo 'marriage'. Two out of three countries in the world don't permit abortion on demand.
Roosh contends further that we've lost "on every battlefront" and gives us a long list of institutions that the American Left controls. He claims that "there's no sign of them ever coming back."
Oh really? Every one of these institutions that he mentions is again losing popular support. The Media, the NFL, the Boy Scouts, the Public Schools: all these institutions are going down. Why? Because Conservatives believe in things like Competition and Free Enterprise, not, as Roosh says, merely "holding the line while their enemies rush at them full speed."
The Internet is breaking up the Liberal Media. Layoffs are occurring throughout the industry because ratings are so low. Just yesterday, the New York Daily News laid off half its staff. President Trump bypasses them altogether by using Twitter. The NFL is getting a challenge from a group of investors who want to start a new PC-free football league. The XFL is only a year or two away, while the NFL has been declining for five straight years.
There are also alternatives to the Boy Scouts being launched; as well as Charter Schools. Homeschooling is growing and there are waiting lists to get into private and parochial schools.
No, Roosh. Conservatives are not losing. Look where we are in 2018 compared just to 2016. There aren't any more Ferguson-style race riots or cops being ambushed and gunned down. There aren't hundreds dying every day from drug overdoses. Farms aren't being forced to shut down anymore over things like water rights or inheritance taxes. In fact, for the first time in decades, farming is a growth industry.
And what happened to all the Energy Sector layoffs---jobs they said weren't coming back? Well, they are coming back; and the US is on track to become energy-independent within the next decade, Corporations are coming back across the US border instead of Wahhabi terrorists and MS-13 thugs: the exact opposite of the Obama years. Businesses aren't being destroyed or people losing jobs anymore just for offending some pervert.
Yes, there's still a lot of work to be done: but that requires actual effort---which is something to which the Red Pills seem to have a strong aversion.
What Roosh and others like him fail to understand is that Conservatism in its modern sense is relatively new; appearing in the Europe about the late 18th Century and North America about the mid 19th. We've fought off external threats like Imperialists, Fascists, Nazis, Communists, and Wahhabi Terrorists as well as internal ones like the Confederate Rebellion, Cultural and Political Marxists, Supremacist movements, etc. Democracy isn't easy to defend. Roosh is wrong again when he claims that we won't make sacrifices to defend tradition. In fact, political extremists murdered four US presidents and nearly killed a few others.
The other thing that Roosh also ignores is just how much his own movement has contributed to cultural decline. Inciting gender and race conflict, for example. Or his whole Game/PUA philosophy which treats women as expendable and deplores traditional things like marriage and family.
"The biggest reason" he pontificates, "why Conservatives will continue to lose is that they're not ready to kill the Left even though the Left is ready to kill them." I'm not sure that a lot of Communists weren't killed by Americans during the Korean and Vietnam Wars or during the Grenada Expedition, but I digress. The context in which Roosh states this clearly indicates that he's referring to domestic political violence: "Liberals have been getting Conservatives fired on a daily basis while suing businesses out of existence while the Conservative loser merely whines about it on Twitter."
If Roosh would pay attention, he'd see that Conservatives have met these injustices with much more than complaining. Fired Conservatives have been offered new jobs by other Conservatives. Conservative lawyers have worked pro bono to defend businesses caught in these lawsuits and even had a recent Supreme Court victory. Donations have rolled in to help a lot of these people.
Our Constitution specifically guarantees the "Right of the people to assemble peacefully and petition the government for redress of grievances." It says nothing about settling differences with armed insurrection or forming groups like the Viet Cong or Al-Qaeda to impose our political will. This is also why we have a 2nd Amendment: to defend ourselves against extremists who seize the government by force.
And that's what Roosh and the other Red Pills and Alt-RINOs really object to. They're really not opposed to the Left's tactics---they oppose the Left having a monopoly on using them. That's why we've said all along that these guys aren't of the Right at all; but are in fact the Reactionary Left. Their growing contempt of Conservatives only proves this even more.
So let's hear why we're losers.

HOLLYWOOD'S ROYAL ROAD TO THE CESSPOOL
Once upon a time, Hollywood actually produced enjoyable entertainment. Today, it's become such a cultural abyss that few film and television pioneers would even recognize. True, some awful things went on behind the scenes back then too. But even so, the media executives cultivated a decent image. Scandals weren't tolerated.
But that was then, this is now. The media moguls today advance the notion that it's somehow 'sophisticated' and 'enlightened' to open the sewers and present whatever flows out of it as representative of the 'real' America. The ethos of the slums and red-light districts is really all that Hollywood does stand for today.
To shore up ratings and sell advertising the media has to appeal to the lowest and most effete of the population. But that quickly becomes tiresome to the degenerate; and they need ever increasing dosages of titillation and sensation. Today, an idiot like Robert DiNero can spout four-letter words against the present with no context. Or another loser like Sarah Silverman can get a morally-retarded audience to roar with laughter joking about the Crucifixion. Disney films make children's films with overt Feminist and homosexual propaganda, etc.
Today the Hollywood reprobates announced with great hoopla that the television series, Supergirl will feature a transgendered super-hero, or heroine, or whatever. The part will be played by a former male who now lives under the alias of Nicole Maines. Maines' claim to fame was suing a school in 2016 over access to the Ladies' Room.
So basically, what you have here is a rip-off of a comic book with drag-queens as heroes being touted as a hit series. And the people who produce this stuff seriously imagine themselves a Cultural Elite.
The further that these would-be Elites drift from reality to the gutter, the less relevant they will become. In fact, they are already largely irrelevant to everybody but to themselves and to the most vitiated segment of the population.
Fifty years ago, Hollywood, the NFL, and the Democratic Party were national institutions. Where are they now? Plummeting into oblivion because they renounced their core ideals and pandered to the lowest-common social denominator. Nobody's willing to follow them there---as they're all learning the hard way.

Or another loser like Sarah Silverman can get a morally-retarded audience to roar with laughter joking about the Crucifixion. Disney films make children's films with overt Feminist and homosexual propaganda, etc.
Today the Hollywood reprobates announced with great hoopla that the television series, Supergirl will feature a transgendered super-hero, or heroine, or whatever. The part will be played by a former male who now lives under the alias of Nicole Maines. Maines' claim to fame was suing a school in 2016 over access to the Ladies' Room.
So basically, what you have here is a rip-off of a comic book with drag-queens as heroes being touted as a hit series. And the people who produce this stuff seriously imagine themselves a Cultural Elite.
The further that these would-be Elites drift from reality to the gutter, the less relevant they will become. In fact, they are already largely irrelevant to everybody but to themselves and to the most vitiated segment of the population.
Fifty years ago, Hollywood, the NFL, and the Democratic Party were national institutions. Where are they now? Plummeting into oblivion because they renounced their core ideals and pandered to the lowest-common social denominator. Nobody's willing to follow them there---as they're all learning the hard way.
COKE COMES TO SAN DIEGO
Earlier this week, a vessel docked in the Port of San Diego carrying a cargo of nearly nine tons of Cocaine, representing a street-value of at least a quarter-billion dollars. The good news: the ship was the Coast Guard cutter USS Steadfast returning from a two-month patrol. The narcotics were captured, along with some smugglers, during the maneuvers.
Some unnamed sources stated that the Steadfast, which had been on duty with the cutter Alert, was allowed to return earlier than the scheduled mission-end because it no more cargo capacity. One intercept alone captured 12,000 pounds of drugs---the largest from a single raid in 13 years. The Alert was said currently to be carrying almost three tons of confiscated drugs in its own right.
Both ships are based in the Columbia River District at Warrenton, Oregon.
The year 2018 has been witnessing a surge in US Coast Guard victories over gangs' and terrorists' attempts to smuggle narcotics into the country. In 2017, the USCG intercepted almost a half-million pounds of Cocaine total. These seizures represent the changed attitude of the federal bureaucracy under Trump. In January, Coast Guard crews brought a haul of 47,000 pounds to San Diego. In March, a huge seizure led to a 36,000 pound booty. And these are just the larger hauls.
Commander Alain Balmaceda of the Steadfast told the San Diego Union-Tribune that his crew is the most motivated he's seen in a long time. "I continue to be impressed by the dedication and tenacity of our cutters, and the difficult, dangerous missions that they complete." Yes, it does make a difference when the Government actually supports what law enforcement does.
It's interesting that, despite these successes, the US Media outside of the San Diego area hasn't a word to say about it. During the Obama Administration, they were equally silent about the Fat Leonard Scandal which implicated Pentagon officials in possible drug smuggling. The Trump Administration wrapped up that scandal too; and indicted several culpable parties.
In fact, the Media has been silent not only about Trump winning the Drug War and the Gang War; they are infuriated beyond belief that Trump has also ended the Obama-instigated Cold Wars with Russia, China, and North Korea. The Media and the other DNC slime would like us to return to the Obama/Clinton Era when we were at risk of atomic annihilation while drug-pushers and international terrorists could enter the country unabated. While Trump is dealing with real problems, the nutcases on the Left think that they can abolish Biology.
Cocaine is a very potent stimulant that is extremely addictive. Withdrawal from the drug causes erratic behavior---mostly a depressive state that needs another dose to reverse it. People on Cocaine build a tolerance and need ever-increasing doses to relieve their cravings. Often Cocaine is processed into stronger forms like Crack, Crank, Rock Candy, etc. Long-term effects can include respiratory failure and mental disease. In spite of the depressive effects of withdrawal, addicts will turn often turn violent to get another dose. The term 'drug fiend' was coined during the 1920's specifically for Cocaine users.
In recent years, police have discovered several cases of Cocaine laced with the deadly Opioid, Fentanyl. During the period 2014-2016, Cocaine overdose deaths doubled in the US.
But with the revamped efforts of the Coast Guard, that pipeline may be closed off soon.
