The Message for 2018

Read. Absorb. Repeat.

What's the problem? You seem miffed. You're ready to defend yourself. You’re not trusted, get over it. You have to question yourself, good. Do it. Do it everyday. You feel like you've done nothing wrong, well cut that shit out. To think everything you've said or done to women you have interacted with was welcome, asked for, or respectful is bold. Take off that Knight-in-shining armor, it doesn't come in your size or mine. It never did. 

Wake up men, it's time to be better. It's past time. We're oozing with toxic masculinity and we can't stay silent when other men throw up that toxic shit everywhere. 

Please do not create scenarios in your head with a woman to validate things you say and do. 

Stop looking at feelings and attaching them to only women. 

Lose the phrase:

"You know how women are." 

Lose it forever.

Ingest art from ALL TYPES OF WOMEN. Listen to women in music, read their books, absorb their speeches, and watch them be influential. Respect powerful women, respect normal women, respect all women. 

Understand that every part of their life is measured writ-large by men for no god damn reason other than being male, the same way some of us get jobs we don't deserve.

A lot of you are trying to find the best way to go about courting a woman. You want to just get better at consent. That's short sighted. It's still got an uncomfortable twinge of sexism and misogyny in it. You're only worried about what you get out of women in that thought. Root problem for all of us is this: respect.

Women owe you nothing. 

Women owe you nothing. 

Women owe you nothing.

We have to end this. Women were not made just for relationships, they weren’t made to just procreate. You have an opinion about any woman’s behavior, keep it to yourself, no one wants to deal with you projecting your wimpy insecurities on them. 

You’re walking on the eggshells from the eggs we (men) broke and then finally acknowledge that you have the empty carton in your hand. 

The uncomfortable, uneasy feeling your having, that’s a good thing. You just need a little push, that lands you far away from the outdated, unwanted, should-have-never-been-a-thing thought process you are wrestling with. 

Get rid of the mentality that creates a general psychological profile of one particular woman you’ve seen on some counter culture site that makes you apply that to ALL women. You do not have unfettered access to women, by herself or in groups. Sometimes, women want to be left alone. Fight the urge to open your mouth. 

You feel it’s exhausting to have to try and earn respect, and treat women with decency even though you feel that hey, I did nothing to be seen this way, why can’t I get the benefit of the doubt, why does it feel like there’s nothing I can do to alleviate this cloud of confusion?

#YesAllWomen

You’re going to push a woman to the brink with all the dumb machismo of the douchiest bro. You’ll claim that “you’ve got this” or “trust me.” We exhaust women. 

We hurt them. We try to control them and we don’t acknowledge the stress we put them under with our toxic stubbornness that: “we know better than them.” We claim to logical but when it comes to listening to women, reason is of no consequence.

It’s insulting. 

Men, read this all again. Thank you. 

Kill Chivalry. Just be kind. 

Bill Maher isn't sorry he said so himself

(Real Time with Bill Maher/HBO) 

by Matt Bright

Bill Maher said House Nigga in a joke. Ice Cube called him out. Now everything is fine, let's continue to watch Real Time. We had our teachable moment about how it is now "our" word. 

As I'm good with the reconciliation but Why do white guys get the handshake? The whole "my bad" for being completely racist. 

We live in a time where black people are asked to apologize for "black on black" crime ( Sidenote: Black Person A did not kill Black Person B because of levels of melanin in his or her skin, it was probably something more related to actual reasons for crime.) police involved shootings, because communities get angry and riot and/or protest about them, some even start legitimate organizations. The media pundits point the finger at these neighborhoods like their children with mortgages. 

They are adults dealing with real losses, their basic human rights are broken, not their favorite Power Ranger. In the end we normalize it and apologize for state violence. Bill Maher has showed on more than one occasion saying bigoted or racist remarks and gets away with, "I said I was sorry."

We humanize the shit out of white dudes. I think that gives away THE system of racism just as much if not more, and some of y'all see HBO's Dexter in every single Brock Turner, Dylan Roof, and James Eagan Holmes (Sidenote: I know you're thinking don't say their names and give them the fame they want. Alleged black men got to hear their name all over everything for all kinds of crimes. [Side: Sidenote: Bill Cosby did it. Kobe settled out of court. Ray Rice ain't shit, and Darren Sharper is a rapist and so on.] There's a list of names you're not saying. Not saying them huh, of course you're not Miguel Prado.) 

Why do we come together around white dudes like a newborn baby when they fuck up? Except the baby is covered in racist shit and posting the video online goes viral for all the wrong reasons not because it's funny. 

I would like to point out this video from Bill Maher about how we shouldn't care about feelings and apologize for everything. One of his "New Rules." 

Bill Maher weaved himself a nice hypocrisy suit to wear for Overtime. Yet he gets to put on his "I'm saw wee" face and now he's good and we all learned a lesson from the liberal moderate Bill Maher. You're not progressive you just want to be able to smoke weed, say racist shit that you deem palpable, and not be bothered by religion. You want to retire to Florida basically. 

Aaron Nealson, a blue life

By Matthew Bright

Aaron Nealson, a blue life, was born March 3rd, 1991 to the parents of Ford Glimmerman and Shelby Betty in Falcon Heights, Minnesota. 

Aaron was born among his family of blue lives that understood what he would go through and they tried to prepare him for the world. 

Elementary school began a tumultuous journey through blue life. He had become accustomed to the taunts of "pig" and "oink oink" til the fifth grade.

When Aaron reached high school he knew it'd be hard making the team in a non-blue life high school in Falcon Heights. Only one blue life in its history has made the team. As a Blue life, he dealt with multiple struggles from starting a bank account to 

Purchasing a home or even getting a car. He didn't want to live a stereotypical blue life experience so he applied to Harvard, skipping The Academy.

He spent most of his time studying on becoming a lawyer but was met with constant criticism and prejudice. Saying one student once said: "Get a badge loser!" Also another replied with: "Blue lives, always playing the victim."

Aaron said when he was a kid he reminded lots of students and teachers that his blueness mattered. That it was what he came from and what made him. 

Aaron said quote: "People sometimes are like Demons and just don't know how dangerous they look to blue lives." 

We spoke with Rebecca who called Aaron a friend, and a sympathizer to Blue life.

She said: "We agreed on a lot of things but it was just different. We went to a party once and he just kept trying to tell people how he was in constant danger. All I could think was you were born that way, no one blames you for it. Maybe he didn't have a father, or drug use was a factor. Rebecca added: " I asked him if all lives mattered."

He said: "My blue Life has to matter first." She admired that about him.

His parents pressured him as he got older. They knew life would be much harder for him as a blue life, everyone viewed him as dangerous so he found himself playing basketball more often and dancing a lot to make other lives more comfortable with his existence. 

Aaron to this day isn't sure if the Blue Life lawyer with Bachelors Degree will be treated like everyone else.

Only time will tell.

Hillary Clinton a Murderer?

by Matthew Bright

"Fake News" it's been thrown around after the fact as a way to explain the election results.

How we can be better informed is now the center of the conversation. 

Let's see what fake news is out there. 

I went on to Wikileaks recently and searched "Hillary Clinton Murder" because I had heard that particular claim on many social media sites and alternate news organizations

and I got a hit....

Of a forwarded message.....

The original message from Stratfor, a shell company giving intelligence to corporations like Lockheed Martin ( Which is probably the bigger story here) 

Shows a web of informers, pay-off structure and payment laundering techniques and psychological methods. Yet no one even bats an eye at that part of the document leak, but wait what's this say about Hillary Clinton? 

The forward says "Question conspiracy theory"  then forwarded "so now you might vote for Hillary. 

Forwarded messages where the original message is something someone typed out with the address Thomas Coplin or tcins1@comcast.net and someone with stratfor forwarded. That's it. The whole email thread. Thanks Tom. 

Slate puts out the article "Wikileaks Fanning conspiracy flames"

Huffington Post "Conspiracy Theorists won't stop accusing The Clintons of Murder"

Yea that's what they do HuffPo, they theorize and accuse. 

Slate, Wikileaks ain't fanning shit, you did by not calling the email what it is. A chain letter amongst 30,000 emails.There's bound to be some emails like: "look at what Julie is wearin?" or "Discount on Yankee's Tix!" The email is authentic doesn't make it credible when it's just typed by a guy who connects the dots to nowhere!  look at it! It was started by a Comcast.net account, who does that?! Forwarded messages with crazy subject lines, that is not new! 

An entire narrative of Hillary being a murderer was created by this email. 

Look, you want some suggestions, I got two sure fire ones Glen Greenwald and The Intercept the reporting done there is absolutely impeccable and unbiased. 

In the words of one John Stewart "Bullshit is everywhere so if you smell something, say something."
