CHURCH REVERSES ITSELF ON COVINGTON AFTER FAKE NEWS EXPOSED

     Shortly after the phony 'Covington Incident' was fanned across the Media, the Catholic Church spoke out and condemned the actions of the young men involved in the fracas. But thanks to others who unmasked the media deception, over 27,000 Catholics petitioned the Covington Diocese to reconsider its position. Yesterday, the Covington students saw justice done. 

   Bishop Roger Foys issued the following statement:

    “We are sorry that this situation has caused such disruption in the lives of so many. We apologize to anyone who has been offended in any way by either of our statements which were made with good will based on the information we had. We should not have allowed ourselves to be bullied and pressured into making a statement prematurely, and we take full responsibility for it.

    “I especially apologize to Nicholas Sandmann and his family as well as to all CovCath families who have felt abandoned during this ordeal. Nicholas unfortunately has become the face of these allegations based on video clips. This is not fair. It is not just.”

     That apology was a truly Christian act. Like many others, His Eminence was imposed upon by knaves who were seeking to sow political and social disruption by sacrificing some innocent young men. The Bishop, however, had courage enough to admit it. 

     Bishop Foys also stated his support for Covington Principal Robert Rowe, who "has also been a target of this venom." the letter said. 

      The Bishop also alludes to something else, which doesn't seem to have gotten quite as much public attention as it should: "There have been death threats made against some of the students and their families. The vitriol and hateful comments on some online stories, some of them appearing on websites that purport to be Catholic and pro-life, have been beyond belief and anything but pro-life. We even had a bomb scare at the Curia and had to close down briefly in light of safety issues."

      Death-threats against families and threats to bomb churches: any of that appear in your newsfeeds? Mine neither. Catholics should remember though that the vitriol and hate spewed by "those not at all familiar with Covington High School" will translated into action if the Whacko Left gains the power to do it. And not only will the Left not apologize for it; they won't restrict their unreasoning outrage to Catholic Churches and schools either.

PUBLIC SCHOOL OFFICIAL JAILED AFTER BUYING DRUGS FOR STUDENT

    While the Corporate Media is busily fanning fake news about teenage boys in MAGA hats, actual malpractice by Swamp Creatures running the public schools in largely gets swept under the rug. Even when they get caught doing things like defecating in public and having violent hysterical episodes on school property, the media isn't overly worried about focusing attention on our out-of-control public school officials.

     Another such incident occurred this week in Elwood, Indiana. Casey Smitherman, Superintendent of Elwood Community Schools was arrested this week after obtaining prescription drugs for a student by posing as his mother. This she did without the parents' permission, incidentally. Since the young man is legally a minor (15), his name wasn't released; but Mrs. Smitherman was charged with Official Misconduct, Identity Fraud, and two counts of Insurance Fraud. 

     Smitherman claims that she was doing this because the boy was home sick and needed antibiotics. She said that she feared that he would be put in foster care if not treated. The local press has been downplaying this as a misguided but sympathetic act and local politicians have been pressing to have charges dropped in exchange for her participation in an 'intervention program.' 

     Now, the lad's mother isn't so happy about Mrs. Smitherman's charitable impulses towards her son which, according to WHTR included "buying him clothes" and "cleaning his house." His mother pointed out the obvious fact that a pharmacist would have no way of knowing whether the young man had allergic reactions to the drugs he was being provided. 

     And actually Mrs. Smitherman should have known this, considering that her husband heads a company closely connected to Obamacare. Steve Smitherman runs Caresource Indiana, the company "that leads with the heart," as its website boasts. 

    The website also claims that it is "one of the nation's largest Medicaid managed plans... serving 1.9 million customers across five states." Caresource even has its own political PAC, donating heavily to politicians of both parties in Indiana and Ohio. Hilary Clinton was their largest recipient of funds in 2016. But of course, just because Mrs. Smitherman's husband is politically connected doesn't suggest that all of this media and political sympathy for his spouse is biased, right?

     Now, admittedly I am not as prudish as some Conservatives when it comes to allegations of inter-generational hanky-panky. After all, boys will be boys and girls will be girls; but committing insurance fraud and potentially endangering a young man's health and using institutional power to cover it all up is a different matter. A lot of school employees have ended up in prison for a lot less---and in those cases the media all push for the maximum penalties without the slightest appeal for mitigation or mercy. 

     The average median income in Elwood is $19,444 per year---35% below the national average and 26% below Indiana's state average. As Superintendent, Mrs. Smitherman's base salary is $118,500 with a fat benefits package.  Test scores in Elwood are also 23% lower than other Indiana schools. 

     But since the Smithermans are part of the 'Elite' the same standards don't apply to them as apply to us little people. The public schools are one of the most fetid parts of the Swamp needing draining. It's especially important to do so, because the schools are a breeding-ground for even more Swamp creatures. 

     

MEDIA DUNDERHEAD FIRED AFTER DEATH THREATS

   The Corporate Media is suffering its third scandal in the last week alone. The infamous Buzzfeed---caught earlier in the 'Golden Shower' hoax---was caught again in another lie. This time, they invented a hoax about the President ordering the FBI to lie to Congress. The next scandal broke when prominent author and journalist Trey Garrison was exposed as the host of a White Supremacist podcast. 

    Now, another media figure---one Erik Abriss, a post-production manager at INE Entertainment has been fired following hysterical posts on social media threatening death on the Covington High School students who've been targeted in another fake news story recently.

     Abriss, another 'tolerant' Liberal who apparently sees nothing amiss with killing high school students, wrote the following deeply profound statement:

     “I don’t know what it says about me but I’ve truly lost the ability to articulate the hysterical rage, nausea, and heartache this makes me feel. I just want these people to die! Simple as that! Every single one of them! And their parents! Racism is in its Boomer death throes! It will die out with this younger generation! Look at the s----eating grins on all those young white slugs’ faces! Just perverse pleasure at wielding a false dominion they’ve been taught their whole life was their divine right! F---ing die!” 

     Thus, once again, a Left-Wing Whacko incapable of exercising any self-control made a fool of himself and wound up suffering the consequences. INE Entertainment, to its credit, sacked this big blowhard and bully after the outburst. But the whole incident is sadly quite telling about the character of today's media executives. Abriss' temperament is not radically different from another former media colleague, Vester Flanagan. INE was right to let Abriss go; there's no telling when a ticking emotional time-bomb like this is liable to explode and start shooting up the place. 

      But the Left never learns. Despite that Abriss is leaving a six-figure job, fellow media dork, Justin Caffier started a fund-raising campaign on Abriss' behalf. Caffier is a writer for Vice, a podcaster, Hollywood leech, and  experimenter with exotic marijuana flavorings.  

         Abriss and Caffier are specimens of the kinds of intellects shaping American Trash Culture. Abriss actually worked on Keeping up with the Kardashians for a few seasons. And both are further reasons to avoid the American Media. President Trump said recently that our media is "a national disgrace." Abriss and Caffier---and the players in the other recent scandals---highlight what a disgrace it truly is.  

VOX DAY LOSES HIS MARBLES OVER JOE ROGAN PHOTO

   For some time now, cultish Red Pill leader Vox Day has seemed to many of us to be walking a psychological tightrope between Reality and believing his own fantasies and delusions. This is the fate of many cult-leaders. Vox has imbibed so much of his own 'Alpha' mythology that he not only imagines himself a superior intellect but a superior physical specimen as well. 

   Recently Vox came across a photo of celebrity and Mixed-Martial Arts promoter Joe Rogan surrounded by adoring beauty queens. This propelled Vox into a paroxysm of jealous rage; and he's been attacking Rogan regularly on his blog since. Using language that brought back memories of my Middle School's boys' locker-room, Vox actually been boasting that his athletic prowess is superior to Rogan's; and recently claimed on a podcast that he could beat up Rogan quite handily. 

   Well, let's see...here's a photo of Vox and his...ummm...hotwife surrounded by three other low-t-chumps  'manly Alpha leaders': 

   And one of Joe Rogan:

   Personally, I'm more into Traditional Martial Arts than MMA; but candidly speaking Joe Rogan looks like the type of guy whom I wouldn't want to fight unless I absolutely had to. Otherwise, we'll leave it to the readers to decide who'd actually win a match between Rogan and Vox. In fact, I would wager that Rogan could handle Vox and his three friends all at once. 

    In researching this article, we discovered that Rogan's fans have their own Subreddit. They said basically what everybody not brainwashed by the Red Pill and Game is thinking:

      When someone lives their life in an echo-chamber surrounded by their own flatterers, the kind of delusion of which these commenters speak can grow into an obsession. This guy is on track mentally to proclaiming himself a god, if he doesn't believe it already. The whole Red Pill Philosophy is itself a delusion; and leads only to crime, insanity, and public shame in the end. 

MAINSTREAM MEDIA FIGURE EXPOSED AS RED PILL LEADER

    The fanatical Red Pills have a history of infiltrating mainstream culture to plant their poisonous ideologies. The head of the Red Pill Subreddit we found, was a member of the NH Legislature. The notorious provocateur 'Ricky Vaughn' was a Wall Street operative. And we all know of Vox Day's attempts to hijack various literary guilds. 

     Now we find that the cretinous podcaster 'Specter' is really freelance writer Trey Garrison. Garrison published articles in the Dallas Morning News; The Land Report; D Magazine; and Reason---as well as publishing novels for media giant, Harper-Collins. More recently, he was a regular contributor to several Manosphere sites; Red Pill Twitter-feeds; and the host of The Third Rail, a podcast. He portrayed himself to his deluded followers there, however, as a psychiatrist living in the Seattle area. In reality, he has no degree in psychology and lives in Plano, Texas. 

    For those not familiar with The Third Rail, 'Specter' is an advocate of the Red Pill/Game philosophy. He's also a Holocaust denier. After the December conviction of Charlottesville murderer James Fields, Specter opined that "the verdict was a travesty of justice. Sadly, the notion we are a 'nation of laws' has been thrown out the window through the subversion of the Jews." 

     As Specter, Garrison often incited his followers to harassment of innocent people, for which Red Pill Andrew Anglin effusively praised him. Here's a gem, transcribed from a podcast last May, of suggestions for harassing Blacks:

     "Should you find yourself in a nice shopping mall, high-end store, and you see a black person, kinda mosey over to the security guard and say, ‘I think I saw that lady put something in her purse.' Or, as another example, if you see two or three of ’em gathered on a street corner and you see a cop, just kinda walk up to ’em and say, ‘Hey, I don’t know if it was a gun, but I think I saw one of those guys had a gun.'" 

      That sounds like fun, doesn't it? Seriously, how is this any different than the tactics of the Whacko Left---chasing people out of restaurants or disrupting events? 

     Last Summer, Garrison and his cohorts at The Third Rail, promoted a campaign called 'The Day of the Brick'. This was a coordinated campaign of intimidation and advocating violence against reporters, in particular writers for The Huffington Post. One does have to wonder if---given the psychological profile of most Red Pills---this wasn't an act of envious retribution that Garrison hoped to execute upon his more successful peers.

     Since Garrison was exposed, several women have admitted that he has a long history of online stalking and other crude behaviors towards themselves and other women. This is also fairly typical Red Pill behavior. So much for another manly Alpha leader shown up as a lying sneak and an envious fraud. 

     

BEHIND THE SCENES AT GILLETTE

    So no doubt everyone's heard that the corporate cornballs at Gillette have jumped on the male-bashing bandwagon and produced a virtue-signalling ad at the expense of most of its consumer base. Not that these corporate oligarchs care anymore about consumers anyway. There are plenty of NPC snowflake-boys---with more hair on their chins than their chests---who can keep Gillette domestically competitive with the company's foreign monopolies.

    Gillette itself is a subsidiary of Wall Street transnational Proctor and Gamble. These are the same jokers who produced a controversial 2017 ad encouraging Black hatred of the police and fomenting racial division. Many saw a subtle misandry in that ad as well. But that's not the only time that P&G has been embroiled in scandal. In 2011, they were heavily sanctioned by the European Union for getting caught running a price-fixing scheme. Despite the company's virtue-signalling, they were exposed in 2016 profiting off slave-labor plantations in Indonesia. 

     The corporation is also heavily invested in political lobbying. They retain 30 lobbyists inside the Beltway---22 of whom are ex-government officials. They spend about $3 million annually on lobbying alone. Most of their contributions go to Democrats; and a whopping 43 Congressmen and Senators are invested in P&G stocks. Hillary Clinton received $60,000 from P&G in 2016.

    The Board of Directors at P&G too is filled with this kind of political detritus. Among them are Frank Blake, former head legal adviser to the EPA; Angela Braly, former healthcare lobbyist, named by various business journals as the 4th Most Powerful Woman in America. She also sits on the Board of Exxon-Mobil and is a political ally of 'Rainbow Rex' Tillerson. 

     Amy L. Chang is also Senior Vice-President of Cisco Systems, a major government contractor. Kenneth Chenault is the former CEO of American Express and one of Harvard University's Board of Overseers. He's also on Facebook's and Airbnb's Board. He was donor to Barack Obama and several other Democrats. Billionaire Scott Cook, founder of Intuit, is also a P&G Board member. Cook is also a Harvard overlord; and has a political donation record of dumping thousands on whichever politician happened to be holding power at the time. Nothing like buying favors...

     Joseph Jimenez, also of the P&G Board was head of Big Pharma megacorp, Novartis. Terry Lundgren, is formerly CEO of Macy's Department Stores and served on the Federal Reserve Board. Politically, he was allied with arch-RINO NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg. James McNerney, former CEO of government contractors, GE and Boeing, also served on the President's Export Council under Obama. Nelson Peltz, billionaire figure in Agribusiness and close friend of the Bush Family joined in 2018. Meg Whitman, a billionaire former Republican politician turned Never-Trumper; Patricia Woertz, another Agribusiness executive; and Ernesto Zedillo, former President of Mexico who infamously attained that post after his top rival was assassinated---round out this august group. 

      Given this backdrop of players, are we surprised at the Gillette ad? What we have here is a collection of people who've ridden the Revolving Door between Wall Street and the Deep State for so long that they have no idea what this 'toxic masculinity' they criticize even means. P&G's current CEO, David Taylor, is a career corporate bureaucrat. With what authority do any of them speak of gender relations? There is none: and we should take their opinions on the subject for what they're worth---which is nothing. 

     With the advent of the Trump Era, this type of corporate PC activism is waning in any real influence and really are nothing but the dying gasps of an Old Order, now passing into history. The days of in-your-face PC advertising---most of which were publicity stunts anyway---is over. More and more Americans are becoming less intimidated to stand up for their rights and alternatives to these virtue-signalling megacorporations are arising with the new emphasis on American entrepreneurialism. And thus the best way to fight oligarchies like P&G/Gillette is simply to go forward. 

     

    

SPEAKING OF THE LEFT

    So, we came across another article the other day, illustrating the increasing dissociation from reality among the Left-Wing so-called 'Elites.' The American Psychological Association has come out with a new position paper on treating male patients.

   At first, the article looked fairly promising. The APA actually started out by recognizing some very real and unique issues afflicting American men. But sadly, it went downhill from there. The 'authorities' basically agreed that "traditional masculinity is psychologically harmful." They claim that masculine values "marked by stoicism, competitiveness, dominance, and aggression is, on the whole, harmful."

     These opinions, of course, are not based upon any actual solid scientific findings. The rest of the article is rife with pseudoscience and ahistorical mythologies. Examples are: "Prior to 1960's 2nd-Wave Feminism, all psychology was the psychology of men;" "Old psychologies left out people of color and women and conformed to gender-role stereotypes;" "Gender is no longer just this male-female binary;" and most absurd of all was a long paragraph on what they call 'John Henryism' which is a completely racist portrayal of Black men disguised as cultural sensitivity. 

     This article brings up an issue that I first began to encounter a few months ago when writing about a new crackpot theory from the Academic Left which claimed that the whole concept of 'mind' is an illusion. That article was a difficult one to write. Then, last month, an article appeared in The Medium telling us about a concerning issue among the Left: that robots lack diversity and need Affirmative Action. Try as I might, I couldn't produce an article on that subject. The APA's new position paper presents the same conundrum. 

     It's not that the points raised in these kinds of articles are self-evident and irrefutable. The problem with writing about them is that their subject matter is so logically absurd that it's difficult to formulate an intelligent argument against ideas that are as plain stupid as these. How does someone, for example, formulate a philosophy---even an erroneous one---that the mind is illusion without using the mind to arrive at such a conclusion? The very idea that the mind doesn't exist is self-refuting.

     How does one explain to these people that machinery has no intrinsic has no connection to culture; and to talk about multiculturalism among androids is ridiculous. Likewise with this APA paper. One of Freud's greatest contributions in elevating Psychology to a science was his demonstrations that this so-called "male-female binary" is a major motive force in human social evolution. IOW, taking 'traditional gender roles' out of Psychology is like taking Cellular Biology out of Medicine. All that is left of Psychology is a highly subjective analysis of human emotions and feelings with no actual therapeutic or socially-redeeming value. 

      And that's the basis of the problem. All that needed to be said about three high-brow Leftist social theories was just said in the preceding two paragraphs. It's not like debating over the merits of the proposed Border Wall or Trump's Budget or Tax proposals. In the APA paper, there's nothing to debate. Outside of their initial definition of the problem, their premises are factually false and their conclusions unrealistic and unworkable. If the authors of that paper actually believe any of what they wrote, they should be in a mental hospital themselves. And if they don't really believe it, they shouldn't be holding any high positions of public trust anyway.

      The important thing to take away from all of this is that people who think like these guys will be running things if the Whacko Left Wing ever gets into power. For now, they can sit in their sinecures and spout off about things they don't understand---and that's bad enough---but having such nutcases making public policy will be a disaster. We need to stay the course, drain the swamp, and support the direction President Trump is leading us.
