#FreeStacy: Email to My Samoan Lawyer: Taylor Swift Is Decadent and Depraved

Posted on | February 27, 2016 | 48 Comments

 

Regular readers know Bert the Samoan Lawyer, an old college buddy of mine who is now one of the leading Asian/Pacific-American attorneys in Alabama. Some people say Bert doesn’t look Samoan, but if Shaun King is black, Bert is Samoan, and he could sue you for saying otherwise. It might even be defamation to call a Samoan “white,” no matter how pale he may be, and Bert has keen legal skills that strike fear in the hearts of potential defendants. No one would dare insult Bert by calling him a cracker, and if America ever elects another Republican president, I’m certain Senator Sessions will suggest Bert as a Supreme Court nominee, right after I get that ambassadorship to Vanuatu. But I digress . . .

The #FreeStacy insanity led my old friend to send me an email today:

Totally anecdotal, but I’ve noticed that no matter how many times I visit wattsupwiththat.com, Google Now never puts anything from that site into my “stories to read.” Contrast that to I once clicked on a story about Taylor Swift because my daughter is a huge fan and now she is in my feed constantly. Also, Salon, Slate and Huffpo are always there in abundance even though I never click them.
Also notably absent despite multiple daily visits: theothermccain.

Fear and Loathing in the Information Age, so to speak. The whole world has gone crazy, I’m the subject of international news, and Google is conspiring to keep people from reading my blog. This makes perfect sense in 2016, you see, that someone like me would become a First Amendment cause célèbre, a 21st-century Dreyfuss. Was this my career goal when I was a long-haired rock-and-roll freak circa 1983? Of course not. Nobody could ever possibly plan anything as crazy as my life, even if they wanted to, which no sane person ever would. So while the #FreeStacy hashtag campaign continues, I have had some communications with leading legal minds who have become interested in the free-speech issues involved.  I’m not the litigious sort, you understand, but some of my lawyer friends are the type who would be happy to go to federal court to seek an emergency restraining order first thing Monday morning, if I just gave the word. But that’s not how I roll. My correspondence with Bert the Samoan Lawyer was just two old college buddies talking. Here’s what I replied:

Well, my Samoan friend, did you ever think back in the day that my gonzo methods would have such consequences as this? As I told my kids, “Congratulations, your Dad is a hashtag.” Of course, the #FreeStacy hashtag won’t autocomplete — although the bogus misspelled version does. No “e” in Stacy, as you know, and “blah blah girl’s name blah blah,” said every idiot who wanted to start a fight on the elementary school playground. When the going gets weird, the weirdos get me banned from Twitter.
Do I want to describe my experiences with Google? Not in writing. The NSA and DHS will have to monitor my phone calls if they want that information. Nixon was a piker compared to these Obama goons, and I’ll bet you $20 Sidney Blumenthal has Jack Dorsey on speed-dial.
Face it, Bert, we live in an Age of Fear and, as a concerned father myself, I have to warn you that Taylor Swift is down for The Agenda. Every feminist on Tumblr is certain that Taylor is dating lesbian supermodel Karlie Kloss. As a Neutral Objective Journalist, of course, I’d have to see video proof before I’d believe that bizarre rumor, but if Cara Delevingne can be gay, everybody is gay, and in 2016, any self-respecting feminist would be embarrassed to admit she is heterosexual. These young fellows can’t get their mojo working and, therefore, phallocentric domination is in a steep decline. Oh, what wonderful jargon! But I digress . . .
If your daughter is a Taylor Swift fan, you may need to intervene, Bert. A sort of “tough love” approach is recommended. Seize her laptop and cellphone and demand passwords for every app she’s got. And if she’s on Tumblr? Bad news, pal — no grandkids for you. Tumblr might as well be called the Crazy Cat Lady Training Academy. Every teenage girl on Tumblr has a mental illness (anxiety, depression, PTSD) and is either a pansexual genderqueer or a nonbinary lesbian. Dye your hair green, pierce your nose, get more tattoos than a sailor and tell your Mom that your pronouns are “xe” and “xer.” This is what it means to be a feminist in 2016, a dystopian nightmare meets pornographic fantasy. If Orwell were writing “1984” now, it would begin: “Dear Penthouse Forum …”

Taylor Swift Is Decadent and Depraved. Seriously, Bert, keep your kids away from those degenerate showbiz freaks. You never know what kind of insanity kids will stumble into, if you let them wander around unsupervised in the Internet sewer. Just a few weeks ago, I had a long  phone conversation with a fellow whose daughter turned 18, announced she was transgender, repudiated her parents as hateful bigots, and moved to another state where she was able to get free testosterone “treatment” from a Planned Parenthood clinic. Could either of us have imagined such a thing in 1983? Hell, I never could have hallucinated anything that crazy when I was tripping out on psilocybin in ’79.
Well, I’m babysitting my 5-month-old grandson, who is crying for a bottle, so I’ll have to wrap this up for now. Remember: Feminism Is a Totalitarian Movement to Destroy Civilization as We Know It. And also elect Hillary Clinton, but I repeat myself.

What a strange irony it is, that I am the Last Sane Man in America.

Note To The Trumpenproletariat

Posted on | February 27, 2016 | 90 Comments

by Smitty

There is a reason why the Ace of Spades is such a crucial blogger:

My problem with Trump is that he is a dealmaker trying to make a sale. Right now he’s trying to make a deal with conservatives — so this is the very most conservative we’ll ever see him.

If he gets the nomination, he now starts working on making the second part of the deal with the other party in the negotiations, the general public.

So this is the most conservative we’ll ever see Trump — this is the absolute most conservative he’ll ever be — and he’s not conservative at all, except, possibly, on immigration. He combines liberal policy impulses with frankly authoritarian or even fascist ones, which he thinks are “what conservatives want,” because, frankly, he conceives of us as ugly-minded, stupid dummies who get off on this shit.

My personal problem with DJT isn’t just that, were he somehow elected, you wouldn’t know which mercenary refugee from the country club was going to show up (except that his own wallet would be lined nicely by the outcome); rather, my problem is that, given the nomination, Her Majesty and the Codpiece Media would release Cthulhu on him.

We’d find out that Sharpton-esque tax irregularities would be the least of Trump’s sins. You think that Trump’s decades in business aren’t a mother lode of oppo research? Those Clinton Foundation donations (as a result of which, one supposes, she’d give Trump the Marc Rich treatment eventually) would be the least of the things we’d be hearing about.

But that’s after Gloria Allred and a phalanx of bimbos in stiletto pumps are done walking over him.

There are so many dogs waiting to bark at Trump, I can only assume his poll numbers (about which Trump cannot shut up) are driven by genuine nihilism on the part of people who should be thinking more clearly.

We can be thankful to Trump for driving JEB off the stage. And more thankful when Trump follows.

Feminist Hates White Heterosexual Men

Posted on | February 26, 2016 | 93 Comments

Melissa Fabello (@fyeahmfabello on Twitter) is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Human Sexuality Studies at Widener University. Fabello is managing editor of an anti-male/anti-heterosexual website called Everyday Feminism dedicated to promoting an “LGBTQIA+” agenda, and she is also a close personal friend of Twitter commissar Anita Sarkeesian.

Melissa Fabello‘s feminism is about inciting women to hate males generally, but she particularly delights in expressing contempt for heterosexual white men, constantly mocking them as ignorant bigots.

Deliberate insults are a form of hate propaganda. Melissa Fabello is promoting hatred of men. Melissa Fabello is encouraging hatred of heterosexuals. And it would seem that Melissa Fabello, who is white, especially despises men of her own ancestry and ethnicity.

Is it surprising that the people she constantly derogates, categorically impugning them without any concern for their human dignity or individual merit, sometimes wish to call attention to the fact that she is a vicious hatemonger? And why should anyone expect that the people Melissa Fabello so blatantly insults would respond to her spiteful messages courteously? Exactly why should anyone be polite to a fanatical anti-male/anti-white/anti-heterosexual ideologue?

Yes, of course! Whatever rude and demeaning things a feminist says about men, we are always expected to silently accept her putdowns. No man is allowed to answer Melissa Fabello’s insults. It would be “hate” for a heterosexual to remark that Ms. Fabello’s website Everyday Feminism might more accurately be called Everyday Queerness.

 

“Right now, today, as of writing this, I identify as queer.
But I didn’t always. And no, I’m not referring to that
awkward, uncomfortable time in my life where I knew
that something felt ‘off,’ but I couldn’t quite place it,
and so I paraded around in the charade of ‘straight.’
I mean that a few years ago, I identified as homoflexible.
And before that, a lesbian. And even before that, bisexual.”

Melissa Fabello is sexually dysfunctional, and cannot obtain psychological or emotional satisfaction through normal sexual behavior. Because she is so profoundly abnormal, Melissa Fabello hates (or perhaps envies) anyone who is not as confused and unhappy as she is. “Sexuality” is not confusing to normal women who actually like men, but feminists . . .

 

Well, why should I bother to finish that sentence? Feminism Is a Totalitarian Movement to Destroy Civilization as We Know It, and Melissa Fabello never wants to hear a word any heterosexual white man has to say. Mellisa Fabello doesn’t believe heterosexual white men have anything to say that anyone else should ever hear. Melissa Fabello is a feminist, and the First Rule of Feminism is “SHUT UP!”

Excuse me, Ms. Fabello, if I’m “hard to talk to,” but it was probably just a coincidence that on Feb. 19, while you were meeting with Twitter commissar Anita Sarkeesian to “talk media and feminism over dinner,” Comrade Sarkeesian’s close personal friend Del Harvey was shutting down my Twitter account.

The #FreeStacy movement, a grassroots response to Twitter’s Feb. 19 decision to suspend my popular @rsmccain account, has received international attention. You can help support this movement by including the #FreeStacy hashtag on your Twitter messages, by retweeting messages in support of this movement, and by signing up at PublicStatus.org, which is dedicated to defending free speech rights on social media.

The #BlackLivesMatter Shakedown

Posted on | February 26, 2016 | 37 Comments

 

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has yielded to thug-mob tactics, issuing a statement in support of the dangerous anti-police terrorist movement, #BlackLivesMatter:

There have been several recent instances of people crossing out “black lives matter” and writing “all lives matter” on the walls at [Facebook headquarters].
Despite my clear communication at Q&A last week that this was unacceptable . . . this has happened again. I was already very disappointed by this disrespectful behavior before, but after my communication I now consider this malicious as well.
There are specific issues affecting the black community in the United States, coming from a history of oppression and racism. ‘Black lives matter’ doesn’t mean other lives don’t — it’s simply asking that the black community also achieves the justice they deserve. . . .

 

In reporting this at Gizmodo, Michael Nunez smears “Facebook’s notoriously white, bro-centric” environment at its offices in Menlo Park, California, but let us ask: Why would Facebook’s headquarters be dominated by white males? Is it “a history of oppression and racism” that explains why only 2% of Facebook’s staff is black? Or, more logically, is it the case that Facebook — a company that now generates more than $12 billion in annual revenue, but didn’t even exist until 2003, when Zuckerberg created it in his Harvard University dorm room — hired the people who had the skills necessary for the company’s success? Was it merely a coincidence that these people are mostly white (or Asian) and male? Is there anything other than “racism” that can explain this? Can anything other than “oppression” explain why #BlackLivesMatter, an organization created to publicize a false narrative about the death of a criminal in a St. Louis suburb, has been associated with violent riots and blamed for inspiring the assassination of police officers?

Why are white people working at Facebook? Why are black people killing each other and blaming “racism” for their problems?

Isn’t it the case that half a century of misguided Democrat Party policies, ostensibly imposed to provide “the black community . . . the justice they deserve,” have made the lives of black people worse? Isn’t it a fact that the U.S. public school system, controlled by teachers unions loyal to the Democrat Party, have declined disastrously, impeding the education of young black people? Is it not obvious that the policies of the Democrat Party, creating and defending welfare giveaway programs that function as disincentives to work and marriage, have undermined the economic and social fabric of “the black community”? And is it not equally obvious that the only solution the Democrat Party proposes for the problems of “the black community” is to do more of the same? Isn’t #BlackLivesMatter really just another way of saying, “Vote Democrat”?

Well, maybe Zuckerberg’s Harvard education didn’t teach him to ask such questions. Skepticism toward the dogmas of liberalism is not an attitude one is likely to encounter in the Ivy League, and no matter what the percentage of Harvard-educated white guys at Facebook’s offices, probably none of them have ever read Thomas Sowell’s The Vision of the Anointed or Friedrich Hayek’s The Mirage of Social Justice, nor any other book that might inspire them to question the liberal worldview that American higher education systematically inculcates in young people.

Transgender: Victims of Societal Prejudice or Dangerous Criminal Perverts?

Posted on | February 25, 2016 | 95 Comments

 

Davina Ayrton, 34, was known as David Ayrton until 2013, and in 2004, David Ayrton raped a 15-year-old girl in England:

A transgender woman has been found guilty of raping a girl when she was a man called David – and has been sent to a male prison.
A jury convicted Davina Ayrton, who changed her name from David three years ago, of the sexual attack on a 15-year-old girl in the autumn of 2004 following a week-long trial at Portsmouth Crown Court. . . .
The court heard that Ayrton, who has a son, has learning difficulties and has been living at the Heywood Sumner House care home in Fordingbridge.
The court was also told that the 34-year-old attempted to commit suicide last summer. . . .
The court was also told that Ayrton was convicted of possessing indecent images of children at Bournemouth Crown Court in January 2014. . . .
The trial heard that Ayrton had met up with the victim, who had run away from home, and two friends on an evening in the autumn of 2004 and gone drinking in a garage which had a sofa and chairs in it.
The victim described how she screamed and shouted at Ayrton, who was 23 at the time, to stop but failed to wake up her friend and her boyfriend who were sleeping nearby.
The prosecution was brought after a care worker reported that Ayrton had confessed to the rape in January 2014 and also told her that she was a “paedophile” and that she had “always known there was something wrong with me and I need help”.

One of the weird things about “social justice” is how it divides people into collective categories of identity, based on political notions of “oppression” and “privilege.” This concept enables very bad people to claim victimhood, while stigmatizing honest citizens as oppressors. We are supposed to feel pity for Ayrton, a transgender “woman” who has learning difficulties, etc., but what about the 15-year-old girl Ayrton raped? How many pedophiles are also transgender? How many dangerous criminals are lurking within these Victim of Society categories that “social justice” ideology creates?

Because, really, why not hire more lesbian school teachers?

#FreeStacy: Why Won’t @Jack Make @Twitter Stop Harassing @PaxDickinson?

Posted on | February 25, 2016 | 22 Comments

We know @Delbius — Del Harvey, the Twitter executive who put together the “Trust and Safety Council” — is OK with alleged pedophile Nicholas “Sarah” Nyberg, and with child pornography defenders like Alison Rapp.

Twitter supports creeps you wouldn’t want anywhere near your children, and silences people for criticizing these perverts, so it’s easy to understand why some people might be afraid of Twitter.

And now, Pax Dickinson accuses Twitter of harassing him:

I thought complaining about being harassed by @Twitter would be a delicious but forgettable bit of satire but I seem to have struck a nerve . . . .
I decided that @Twitter‘s ongoing harassment might make me some easy victim dollars, but my Patreon doesn’t seem to be collecting any sympathy bucks. I have my suspicions why.

Block and report! Block and report!

Meanwhile, Ace of Spades comments:

As Twitter continues to lose users, as I expect they will, I imagine they will in fact be bossy and vindictive enough to start saying “Inactive users’ accounts will be deactivated and reassigned to others,” etc.
So part of the reason I will provide one or two posts a day is just to keep them from taking away my brand-name account and then, like a cybersquatter, threatening to assign it to someone else, including an enemy.
Does that seem far-fetched? Well, I also didn’t expect Twitter to ban Anna Sarkeesian critic Stace McCain within days of Anna Sarkeesian joining the Ministry of Emotional Safety and Mental Hygiene.
I thought they’d be a bit more subtle about things than that.
But they weren’t.

Subtlety? You expected subtlety from the pro-pedophile child-pornography site Twitter? Were you really that naïve, Ace?

Del Harvey and her creepy friends are trying to make Twitter a “safe space” for kiddie diddlers like Lena Dunham and accused rapists like “Dr. Luke.” Twitter obviously doesn’t want normal people on their site. Catering to perverts seems like a smart business decision, right?

 

Twitter’s stock, which was $23.14 on Dec. 31, closed Thursday at $17.59 — a loss of 24% of its value in less than two months — and has lost 84 cents since banning me on Feb. 19. Probably just a coincidence.
