   Poor Teddy Spaghetti....

MANOSPHERE SAP ADMITS IT: THE RED PILL IS A CULT

    Aaron Clarey, who blogs under the name of Captain Capitalism, is a self-described a-hole and follower of such Manosphere luminaries as Dalrock, Vox Day, Rollo Tomassi, Roosh Valizadeh, Matt Forney---all the usual people. Clarey is also a religious apostate---the son of a minister---a not uncommon specimen among a cult which claims to stand for 'traditional values.' 

   So, the Captain has written a thesis titled Why the Red Pill Will Replace Religion. This is, of course, a de facto admission that the Red Pill---as promoted by the Manosphere and their phony philosophy of 'Game'---is nothing but a cult. Clarey posits that a man's life essentially moves in three phases: pursuit of sex, realization that Civilization is a sham, and coming to grips with the reality of death. If he'd paid more attention in Church, he'd have learned that wiser men than himself went that route and ended up writing Scripture like Ecclesiastes to warn young men away from it. 

   Like the Far Left---with whom the Red Pills have more in common than with Conservatives---Clarey doesn't deny the notion of Original Sin, but teaches his followers to embrace it. He states:

   "There is, however, one major difference between the "The Church of the Saint Red Pill" and all other major religions. And it's also the reason why more and more men will replace their traditional religions (if any) with the red pill - practicality. The message of the red pill is infinitely more practical to young men today because it addresses the thing they want the most - women.  Cheapened as you might find this, it is true.  Men, above all other things, want women. It's why the lions share of material you'll hear in the red pill community is about women.  It's why the majority of time, effort, and resources in the red pill is about marriage, dating, sex, and love.  And whereas you can barely get a traditional church congregant to stay awake for a 15 minute sermon about salvation or Christ, you can get thousands of men to fully-tune in for 4 hour podcast extravaganzas on how to get a date with a woman.  It's no shock that while membership in churches are declining, the red pill community is growing exponentially because the message the "red pill religion" conveys addresses the most important issue young (and old) men have in their lives - women."

   How is this any different from Feminist claims that men think with their penises and are incapable of thinking of anything but sex? The only material difference is that the Red Pills hold that stereotype up as a role model whereas Feminists use it to depreciate masculinity. Either way, it reflects a very low opinion of men. The Red Pill, like other cults, tend to attract men with low self-esteem. No man who's confident around women is going to waste 4 hours of his life listening to some PUA on the Internet telling how to think and how to behave.

     "But if there's anything I've learned about humans it is that we need two things in life - vice and religion." he opines, "Take the time to resurface from your consumption of the Red Pill religion to occasionally contemplate traditional religion, even if they are stuck in the dark ages, forcing you to attend a physical church, when Podcast Pastor could make it so much more convenient."

    Here we see that the Red Pill offers vice as virtue. And, in typical cultish fashion, Clarey advises those religiously inclined to turn to the Echo Chamber of the Internet. 'Podcast Pastor' he explains as follows:

   "And it is also no coincidence that I'm a podcaster who came up with the idea of "podcast pastor."  But how I came up with the idea of podcast pastor was NOT having the epiphany that the internet has obsoleted traditional means by which to convey information, and I could profit off of it by turning churches digital.  It was realizing instead that the "Red Pill" community operated nearly identically to a church, and in a sense I already had a congregation.  It would merely be applying the same skills I learned having an online presence to that of a digital church. For example, like a church I have a "congregation."  You can call them "readers," "subscribers," "listeners," "followers," "fans," etc., but the thousands of people who tune in regularly to my podcasts or read my posts effectively form a congregation.  And other online personalities or "Red Pill Pastors" have their own congregations.  Rich Cooper, Terrence Popp, Roosh, Rollo Tomassi, Donovan Sharpe, all have "congregations" unto themselves, congregants who tune in regularly to hear their message." (N.B., the portion that we put in bold type). 

   Readers of blogs are not a congregation any more than a popular author of pulp fiction has a congregation among those who buy his books. The only authors who ever made such claims were cult leaders themselves, like L. Ron Hubbard. People don't form religious congregations to be entertained or informed as bloggers' or vloggers' audiences do. They congregate to learn (or be reminded of) their duties to God and to their fellow-man. But Clarey doesn't mince words that is in fact the Red Pills' very objective when he says: "You are introduced to truth through the red pill. This requires a (roughly) decade-long journey undoing all the lies and propaganda you've been fed to simply get back to square one, and reorganize your life so you make the most of the remainder of your life on this planet.  Your decisions are based in truth and reality, they become more effective, and you start to have success in life." Can there be any clearer admission that the Red Pill is a cult than this?

   It's difficult to argue that the Red Pill is a 'truth leading to success in life' when so many of its adherents have come to very bad ends. Red Pills are notorious for being thrown off the Internet, losing their jobs, getting thrown in jail, being held up to public ridicule: generally just being failures. This is evidently true of Clarey himself whose 'highly successful Youtube podcasts' generate less income on average than a welfare recipient in most states. Even many on the Alt-Right are disgusted with his incompetence as an author; I can't imagine that his Consulting business is in very high demand with these drawbacks. In short, Captain Capitalism is just another Internet blowhard who's trying to make himself important and significant by tearing down things like Religion, Tradition and Civilization. This is another characteristic of cults: they only tear down established beliefs but can build nothing on their own. 

   We on the Right need to be wary of these poseurs. No matter how they disguise themselves they are wolves in sheep's clothing, ever ready to sacrifice any cause for their own gain.

   
    

DEEP STATE CRETIN JEFFREY EPSTEIN ARRESTED

   Wow---when we predicted less than a week ago that the DOJ Steamroller was about to come down a few American 'Elites' in a White Slavery crackdown, we had no idea it would happen this soon. It's now been confirmed, however, that one of the most hitherto-untouchable figures in that web is in jail in New York City and will appear before a Federal Judge on Monday to face unspecified charges. 

  According to The Daily Beast---admittedly not among the most reliable news sources---claimed that these charges are both related to sex-trafficking of minors. That's probably fairly close to the truth; but we'll have more details tomorrow when the indictment is actually unsealed.

   Epstein is a Wall Street Robber Baron who raked in billions during the 1980s and 1990s with shady hedge-fund schemes. He also was a notorious tax dodger. He has moved among the American 'Elite' for some time. His known associates include Former President Clinton---who has traveled with Epstein on his private jet more than two dozen times---and several Hollywood figures, members of the degenerate British Royalty, and leading fake-news purveyors like George Stepanopoulous and Katie Couric. 

  President Trump also knew Jeffrey Epstein; and Labor Secretary Alex Acosta---then a federal prosecutor---tried unsuccessfully to shut down Epstein's operations about a decade ago. The Corporate Media undoubtedly is going to try and concoct some fake scandal involving Trump---though why logically Trump would indict someone who could implicate him in criminal activity is something they won't explain. Nor will they explain why Clinton and Obama never reined in Epstein although they were fully aware of his activities. The reason is quite clear: Epstein has been a major donor to leading Democrats for quite some time now. Even the pro-Elite New York Intelligencer was forced to confess today that:

    "You should also check out New York Magazine’s contemporary reporting on the investigation into Epstein.Although, be advised: Reading about Jeffrey Epstein for longer than 45 minutes may lead one to conclude that 4-chan posts about “Pizzagate” paint a more accurate picture of the American ruling class than, say, all those uplifting speeches at John McCain’s funeral."

  The fact is that Trump banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago for life after Epstein allegedly tried to force the teenage daughter of one of the guests during a party. Federal investigators have seized all of Epstein's flight logs to his private island, and Trump (unlike Bill Clinton) isn't listed in any of them. But don't expect the Media to mention any of these minor details. 

  We'll know more tomorrow after the Indictment is unsealed: but we'll wager in the meantime that a lot of the self-appointed American 'Elite' are going to be making a number of sudden 'vacations' out of the country within the next few days.

   

'BOUNDING INTO COMICS'---THE AROMA OF THE SHILL

   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. 

  

AYN RAND AND ATLAS SHRUGGED

   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.

REBEL'S RUN; VOX DAY'S JOKE-BOOK FOR THE 4TH

    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. 

CONGRESS TAKES AIM AT PENTAGON PORN TRAFFIC

    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.
