Celebrities Should Shut Up

When I was younger, I was a Trekker.  This was Next Gen.  I'm not that old.  Anyway, one of my favorite characters was Lt. Reginald Barclay.  I was shy and bullied.  So was he.  I could relate to that character.  I rooted for him.  Was joyed when he succeeded because it gave me hope that maybe I could too.  I needed to feel hope.  And then Dwight Schultz, the actor who played dear Reg, had to open his stupid mouth.  I disagreed with every horrible thing I heard.  Now I can't watch TNG if he's in it.  I can't even watch The A Team (he was in that too) because he ruined even that.  Never meet your heroes.  You'll always be disappointed.

I'm of the opinion that if you're in the business of selling yourself, your talent or your goods, it's in your best interest to remain publicly neutral.  You want as many customers as possible.  Therefore you don't risk offending or alienating any segment of the people who make your livelihood possible.  Regardless of how strongly you feel.

It's cool if you're Republican, Dwight. Just be an idiot in private.  A lot of your fans aren't neo nazi conservatives and Trek was liberal fantasy at its best anyway.  Did you not know who was watching that show?  Do you really think being anti immigrant is cool when diversity is such a big part of Trek?  Should have kept your hate to yourself.  You broke a little girl's heart.

Celebrities make the faux pas of getting too political way too much.  You don't have to like abortion to know that a lot of your fans have a different opinion.  You may want to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it, but you have to understand that some of your fans are Mexican and some may even be immigrants.  By saying people who get abortions should be stoned or all immigrants are rapists, you're OFFENDING your fans.  You need your fans. You may be racist or hate Jews, but those are career killers.

Don't be a Scott Baio or a Mel Gibson or a Beyonce or a Colin Kaepernick or an Amy Schumer.   Don't be an asshole about your opinion because that doesn't validate your opinion.  It just makes you an asshole.

I'm sick of celebrities jumping on social justice bandwagons.  The ones who wait to see what the majority opinion is before picking a side.  I'm talking to the Beyonces out there.  Come on.  She didn't really care about black lives until it was popular to do so. Until being pro black could help her career.  Kaepernick only started a protest when his boss was threatening to cut him in order to save his failing career by making himself more appealing.  Now if they cut him for being a lousy player, he can cry racism and ruin the rest of the team.  Now they wouldn't dare let him go even if he does suck.  No actual caring about black lives.  Colin was securing his future.  Ted Nugent wasn't even relevant until the Tea Party.  His actions have all been geared towards getting back in the spotlight so he can be marketable again.  At least Mel Gibson was honest enough to be a consistent asshole.

But when celebrities promote causes, we as the public need to understand why they are doing it.  It's not usually because they really care.  It's just for show and that makes them all the more evil for doing it.   It's because the appearance of caring pleases us, the fans, and they want our admiration more than to do good in the world.  More importantly, they want our money and we only give our money to celebrities we like.  That's why celebrities overwhelmingly only support causes that are popular among the majority.  You rarely see a celebrity disagree with the majority and survive.

Which is why Scott Baio and Mel Gibson and Ted Nugent and that guy from Seinfeld no one remembers the name of are no longer around career wise.  They had opinions that were unacceptable to the majority and they were stupid enough to voice them in public.  They are now black listed.   What?  You didn't really think we had free speech, did you?

In my humble opinion, you should never trust a celebrity's opinion anyway.  It's usually a lie they were told to say by their publicist.  That's why celebrities have publicists.  To say all the right things to keep the public happy.  And you should never base your opinion of something on what other people think of it regardless of how famous they are.  Famous doesn't mean right.

I'm not trying to say celebrities aren't entitled to opinions.  All humans have opnions but unless you're famous specifically for politics, you shouldn't get involved.  Think of your fans and keep it classy.  All of your fans, Beyonce.  Even the white ones.  Because with the power of celebrity comes responsibility and your responsibility is to entertain.

Not to insult.  Not to use a cause to further your career.

Never meet your idols.  They're horrible people.

Don't preach, do

It's been my personal experience that those who thump their bibles the hardest are the least Christian people you will ever meet.  Even if they know hundreds of scriptures by heart.  Even if they don't have to use the index to find the books.  Even if they know all the hymns even the really old ones.  Even if they're actively involved in church. Even if they teach Sunday school.  Even if they tithe a lot of money.  Even if they're a deacon.

See, all those things are things people do for show.  To keep up appearances because appearing to be devout is very important to a person's standing within the church. It's still fake.

Real Christians, that is people who have a close relationship with God, don't care about appearances.  They know they won't always make it to church.  They know it's ok to skip bible study.  Sometimes you think bad thoughts.  Sometimes you think about sex.  Sometimes you cuss.  Sometimes you blaspheme.  You pay what you can in tithes even if 50 cents is all you have.

You're not perfect.  God knows that.  He accepts that.  He doesn't care.

If you tried your damndest to be a good person, that's all that matters.  Not your church attendance or how many scriptures you memorized.  Church is not a building. It's not the preacher.  It's not the ritual.  The church of the bible was our relationship with God.

You can have that anywhere.  You can talk to God anywhere.   You don't need a middle man sanctioned by other middle men to be your link to God.  God is within YOU.

And that's why I don't like organized religion.  Sure, it's good to remind you about God.  Sure, it's good to make friends. But God isn't religion.  You don't need a building or preacher to walk with God.

Unless you're a faker, putting on airs to please the holy men.  God sees right through that.

A real Christian doesn't need to reference Jesus in every conversation.  They don't need to say grace at every meal or only listen to gospel. They aren't required to have a certain political leaning.  They can be pro life and still be pro choice.  They don't have to agree with homosexuality but they'll still be nice to gay people.  They don't have to believe women are inferior to men or even that a woman should marry or have kids.  They understand sometimes sex happens outside of marriage and birth control is a good thing to have. Good Christians can be liberals.

Treat others as you would have done unto you.  That's called the Golden Rule for a reason.  You show respect and love to those around you. You take care of the world and the creatures on it that the good Lord made for you.

In other words, you don't preach it because you're too busy living it.

Media Lies

So three black kids beat up elderly white guy in Baltimore, it's robbery.  Four white kids beat up a black lady as a gang related retaliation, it's a racially motivated hate crime.  Black guy shoots random white kid, NOTHING STOLEN, it's REPORTED as a robbery.  White guy shoots black guy after an argument, it's REPORTED as a racially motivated hate crime.  Black cop shoots unarmed white guy walking naked down a street, it's justified.  White cop shoots black guy pointing a gun at them, it's a racially motivated hate crime.

Think you get my point.

There is NOT fair and unbiased news reporting.   There is ONLY propaganda designed to keep the ignorant masses too busy fighting eachother to notice the many ways the rich are fucking us over.  I KNOW THE TRUTH.

People do shitty things to other people.  Most of it is not racially motivated.  Cops who are assholes are assholes to everyone regardless of race and cops can be assholes regardless of their race.  TRUTH.

The rich are distracting us with race baiting and IT'S WORKING.

I read the comment sections.  The only people calling for racial equality are white liberals.  Everyone else is calling for the deaths of white people.  White people are being demonized just like the Jews were prior to the Holocaust.  Trust me, if you're white, there is a huge chance you're going to find yourself being gassed in a few years.  Get out of America while you still can.

Don't call me crazy. Read the comments.  Listen to the speeches at award shows.  Go to a Black Lives Matter rally and people watch.  They have CHANGED the definition of the word racism to absolve themselves of their own racism while falsely claiming only white people can be racist.  Buzzfeed's 24 Questions Why White People Suck, MTV Decoded, anything on BET, Kaepernick, every rap song that isn't about sex.  When white people can be accused of cultural appropriation for having nappy hair but when black people wear kilts, it's just "assimilation". White people are targets

And it's getting violent.  White people went to BLM rallies to SUPPORT the cause.  BLM attacked them.  The media ignored it.  Why wasn't it newsworthy?  Those videos are all over the place.  White people being attacked for being white.  A fucking white REPORTER was attacked while covering BLM.  Not deemed newsworthy.  Not even to the reporter's own network.  Why?

Why does the media ignore it when unarmed whites or Mexicans or Indigenous Peoples are killed by police?  Why do the crimes only matter when the victim is black?

Because black people are easy to manipulate.  I don't know why.  Maybe they are intellectually inferior after all.  I don't know, but they believe anything.
Rich people want poor people to be violent.  It makes it easier to justify martial law and their total take over/ enslavement of the poor.  Black people who follow BLM are fools regardless of IQ.  They're being played.

The media lies.  They push the narrative that the evil white man is out to get the poor oppressed black man when that hasn't been the case in decades.  When there is only one oppressor: people with money.  When there is only one people being oppressed: the poor.  Color has nothing to do with it.

Oh, but white people, don't think for a minute it stops with blacks.  The demonization of your race is for everyone to enjoy and other groups are eager to get revenge on you too.  When this country is majority Hispanic, you're protection is over.  Latinos, Asians, Arabs, Native Americans, everyone with darker skin taught from birth to hate you by the wealthy elite's propaganda machines are coming for you too.  They hate you too.  They've been lied to too.

Why is no one else seeing this?  Why is no one else getting this?

The rich want us divided so we're too busy fighting eachother to stand up to THEM.  So we don't fight THEM.

Knowing who the real enemy is is terrifying.  Not because the truth doesn't liberate your mind but because you're aware of just how little hope you have of changing other people's minds.  They watch the news, not the world.  Truth does nothing to change opinion.

Humanity lost a long time ago.

To everyone who knows truth, keep your head down.  Stay safe.

White people, run.

Vaccines work

I don't believe vaccines are inherently bad.  I do believe not getting vaccinated for certain illnesses greatly increases your odds of getting that illness.  Smallpox is a prime example of that.  Tuberculosis is another.  Both are horrible diseases and the biggest reason they're so rare today is thanks to vaccines.

So do I despise anti vaxxers?  Yes and no.

What causes autism? The science is so iffy.  Do vaccines cause autism?  I personally doubt it.  Could OVER vaccinating?  Well, that's kinda different.

It's no secret the west has an over medication problem.  We stubb our toes and we're downing antibiotics.   Because we overuse antibiotics, they're no longer effective.  So we have to keep making new ones that we overuse until they become ineffective and so on and so on.  The only thing we accomplish is raising the price and profits drive everything in the healthcare industry.

The pharmaceutical industry is all about profit.  They financially rape you with every pill they con you into thinking you need.  Vaccines are money makers so yes, they tell you you need vaccines you don't need.

Flu shots.  You may or may not get the flu.  Even if you do get it, your body can fight it off.  Your body was designed to.  Truthfully, you can get by without a flu shot but millions get one anyway. Half of them will get the flu anyway.

Measels, chicken pox, mumps.  Common childhood ailments that can cause nasty lasting problems if acquired by an infant.  I get why parents want to protect their kids from those, but tetanus?  What are the odds your kids are going to stab themselves with something rusty?  And if they have that good a chance of getting tetanus, you're bad parents.

We can't even legally visit some countries without getting mandatory vaccines.  Why?  The people living there do fine.  I don't think you're giving the human immune system enough credit when you vaccinate for dysentery.

Zika vaccines. West Nile vaccines.  Ebola vaccines.  Whatever.  Unless you're in an area where a disease is actively killing people, you don't need a vaccine for it but someone sneezed so you need a shot.

And do you even realize what a vaccine consists of?  It's a dead strain of the virus you're trying to prevent being injected into your body in the hope that your immune system will create antibodies to fight off the infection you just gave yourself.  If your immune system can do that with a vaccine, it can do that with the actual virus.

Which is why half the people getting flu shots this year will still get the flu.  It's why some kids will still get chicken pox despite being vaccinated.

And freedom to choose whether or not you vaccinate is nothing to take lightly.  Once that's gone, the government can inject you with whatever they want.  Forced sterilization anyone?  Never take freedom for granted.

The point I'm trying to make is that though vaccines have their benefits, we need to be more careful about how we use them.  Like any medicine, they can be misused.  Our immune systems are wonderful things and I encourage everyone to try to heal illnesses naturally before reaching for the pills.  It's better for you.

As to whether or not vaccines cause autism, one or two vaccines are not going to screw up your kid in my opinion.  Five or six might.  Either way, vaccines shouldn't be mandatory anymore than aspirin should be.

Because no one should be making your heath decision or your child's except you.

Addiction isn't mental

I hate it when people make light of mental disorders.  They're not jokes to the people going through them.  All the poor people battling depression can't just cheer up.  All the vets with PTSD or the bipolar folks can't just take their happy pills and live fully productive lives.  It's hard and it will always be hard for them so stop making light of it.

Which brings me to my rant.  Why the fuck do you not think depression is a serious mental illness but you think drug addiction is?  Fuck you.

How dare you make fun of mental illness by using it to excuse your immorality.  Fuck you again.

No.  You don't eat junk food because you can't help it.  You eat junk food because you're too lazy to put in the work it takes to make a healthy meal.  Cuz it does take work and it does mean spending a little extra money and you just don't want to do either. Truth.  You aren't addicted to sugar because you were born that way.  You're addicted to sugar because you won't stop eating it.  You're not fat because you have a disease. Your fat because you don't want to exercise. There's accepting your body then there's ignorance and blaming over eating on a mental disorder is ignorant and a bitch slap to every person suffering from a legitimate illness.

And doing drugs or drinking too much alcohol or gambling are not mental disorders either.  They're moral failings.  People with mental illness don't get a say in the matter.  They don't get a choice.  You had a choice not to take up smoking (because tobacco is a drug) or pick up that crack pipe or get drunk or whatever.  You made the wrong choice but YOU STILL MADE THE CHOICE.

You didn't START doing drugs because you're defective and couldn't help yourself.  You started because you were curious, because you thought it was cool or because your friends did it.  I don't care why you started, YOU MADE THE CHOICE.  And you didn't like those things because you're defective.  You liked them because they're fun.  Because drugs and alcohol make you feel good and gambling is exciting and it's like that for everyone.  Humans like fun things.  They like feeling good.  The only difference between you and everyone else is that they're smarter than you.  They get their feel good vibes from safer places.

You MADE the decision to do drugs or drink too much or play craps or be a slut or whatever.  Because you lacked the common sense and moral values to say no.  Not just after the first taste but before you even did it.

Because drugs and alcohol are designed to get you hooked the first time you use them.  You would have been fine if you never touched them even the once.  And gambling or promiscuity?  No one's addicted to gambling or sex. They like the danger.  You get the same high standing in traffic on the freeway as you do playing 21 or being a whore.  If you're addicted to danger, it's not because you're addicted to the method you choose to feel danger through.  It's because you have a REAL mental disorder.

Probably that depression thing you make fun of.

But don't tell me addiction is a mental disorder.  You can stop an addiction. You can get counseling. You can go through rehab.  You can never do drugs in the first place.  And sex addiction is just a flimsy excuse to get some action.  Point is, you can STOP being an addict.  You can't stop being clinically depressed or bipolar or having PTSD.  You can CHOOSE whether or not you go to a casino or eat another cupcake.  You don't get to choose whether or not you're traumatized by war.

Stop making light of REAL mental health issues by making up fake ones to justify your own stupidity.

VMAs: Propaganda at its finest

I don't watch award shows.  They're rigged and rarely reflect public opinion.  Which is why Marvel movies kick ass at the box office but never win Oscars.  Award shows are pointless including MTV's Video Music Awards.  If you read my blog, then you already know how I feel about MTV.   They're blatantly racist and think it's ok to promote teen pregnancy.   Oh, and they don't even show music videos anymore.   Don't know why they still call their fake awards show video music awards.

But my sister doesn't have cable so when she saw that they were replaying them, she insisted on watching them.  I love my sister too much.

First, did anyone notice that the show was basically a Beyonce/Rhianna concert?  They literally had no one else to perform. There was a Kanye moment- more Kanye being a douchebag with the camera planted on Kim Kardashian's face.  Would have been great if Taylor Swift stormed the stage.  "Yo, Kanye, I'ma let you finish, but..."  There was only white group, The Chainsmokers, and their performance was harshly criticised as being really bad.  Honestly, it sounded like every other performance.  Music these days sucks, but notice that the only white act was the only act people didn't like.

And let's acknowledge that the hosts were all black.  There were a handful of other ethnicities presenting awards, but it really was like MTV and BET were merged.  No equal opportunity at MTV if you're white.

And then there were the acceptance speeches.  Every single one of the black artists who won (very few other colors did really) had to make the "white people are evil and must be stopped" speech.  Every. Single.  One.  Stop killing us.  Stop oppressing us.  Stop being white.  It was as tragic as the uncomfortable faces from the poor white kids in the crowd who thought they were coming to the VMA party only to be insulted and belittled the entire night.  I'm hurt they didn't start leaving en mass but then they were stupid enough to still think MTV isn't out to get them.  They are.

Please don't tell me they're still white people at MTV.  Laci Green is a man hating whore but she's also a token white person just like Ben Carson is a token black person for the Tea Party.  Wake the fuck up.  Teen Mom is all about making white people look like trash.  Decoded CHANGED THE DEFINITION OF RACISM TO PEDDLE THE BULLSHIT THAT BLACKS ARE INCAPABLE OF BEING RACIST.  Think about that.

To say a person is incapable of being racist based on the color of their skin IS THE VERY DEFINITION OF RACISM.

MTV sucks.  MTV is for racists and losers.  Fuck MTV.

Debate 2016: Why bother?

I didn't want to watch the debates this year.  I rarely want to watch debates, but I usually tune in a few minutes at least to hear a little of what our next puppet to the rich has to say.  Curiousity, ya know.  This year? I felt zero interest.

This year we have Donald crazy as a mofo Trump and Hillary lying her ass off Clinton and I have no interest in torturing myself with any of their drivel.

And the debates don't matter anyway.  They aren't swinging independents one way or the other.  Everyone has already decided who they're voting for and they're not changing their minds.  Republicans will vote for their guy and Democrats will vote for theirs.  Those who identify conservative or Christian wil vote Republican and those who are blessed with melanin or who identify liberal will vote Democrat.  And independent thinkers know the election is rigged and won't vote at all.  This is how America has rolled since voting began.  We aren't changing it.

No one votes with their conscience.  No one cares what the candidate stands for or their track record or even what they promise.  We vote based on our cliques.

We know Trump will only help his rich buddies.  We know he doesn't like immigrants or Americans for that matter.  We know his foreign policy will get us nuked, but his supporters don't care.  A Trump presidency will start a civil war, but his fan base of far right gun nuts, anti government neo nazis and doomsday preppers welcome it.  Trump supporters have been dying for an excuse to play commando.  They're not giving that chance up in order to save the country.

We know the DNC steamrolled Bernie Sanders in order to give Clinton the nomination. Thank you, Russia.  We know she didn't really win fair and square.  We also know that she lied about her emails- she knew damn well what she was doing when she erased them.  We also know she will, like Trump, only help her rich friends.  And her supporters don't care.  Trump is so evil, they'll settle for Hillary even if she is a liar.  Worse, they'll vote for her for the same reason they voted for Obama.  Hillary would be America's first womam president and they want to make history.

But in the end, even if everyone in the nation votes, the vote itself is pretty much worthless.  Politics is run by the rich.  That's why it takes millions just to run for office.  The rich PICK the candidates we "vote" for.  They get rid of the candidates they don't want by lying like the DNC did with Sanders.  They steal elections out right like they did for Bush in 2000.  The only state with a polling problem just happened to be the one his brother was governor of?  Yeah right.  And even if the majority were to vote for one candidate, the electoral college can over ride it.  Who picks the electoral college? The rich.

Your vote is pointless if you aren't rich.

So I don't need to watch the debates.  Whoever the rich put in office will just be a mouthpiece for what they're going to do, will of the people be damned and America will go along with it because they'll think they're still free.  They keep you comfortable so you stay a slave, but a comfortable slave still isn't free.

My personal opinion is, the rich chose Hillary as Obama's successor.  They chose Hillary the moment they chose Trump to run against her because he's so obviously not qualified.  Hillary's the next president.

The next puppet so deal with it.
