My Brief Thoughts on Kathy Griffin

Kathy can pose with a bloody head of whomever she wishes but she must suffer the consequences of those actions. She is a public figure, has influence, and somehow believes this plays no role in why she is receiving backlash. It does. If I did the same thing, it probably wouldn’t matter as much.

Kathy must have agreed to the photo shoot and had prior knowledge of what it encompassed. Public figures have had some not so great career choices in general, facing the same kind of backlash. TMZ reports on Hollywood drama twenty four seven hours a day it seems. We have to admit the American audience seems to enjoy drama, downfalls, and emotional meltdowns. Did Kathy ever stop to think she is perhaps just a puppet? A lifeform of cells they invested into and now just desire to control? Perhaps, now she realizes how important it really is to think about what ideology she represents, if it means holding up a bloody head while trying to promote some kind of peace?

She is nothing more than falsely representing an ideology where most are actually supposed to be invested in a pacifist-like demeanor. She has been exposed now as a fraud. Don’t go blaming the ideology itself, for it is nothing truly but a word. People give context and meaning to words as time goes on. They can say they represent something as well, but we as people have the right to be skeptics.  Skeptics of news, people, and pretty much anything we like. As a society, we have lost our desire and/or ability to question what is put before us. We eat anything that says it is good for us and we listen to those we admire with the same kind of attitude.

Liberals are suppose to be about improving society as a whole, and focusing upon many different aspects in society to create the best utopia possible. They are suppose to be open minded and adaptable to many situations. Kathy and many celebrities in Hollywood, claiming to represent these kind of values, are nothing more than empty shells waiting to be used as puppets in a repetitive narrative. They do not represent these values and to me, represent a sort of fabricated image they have to uphold because of invisible influencers the audience never sees.

Sorry Kathy, but a person cannot really play victim when the money was already exchanged for values. As far as Kathy’s case, no money can buy back the respect of the people she lost. Opinions are valuable, everyone is entitled to them, and delivery does matter. Tone matters. Imagery matters. Words matter. Expressions matter. Unfortunately, we live in a day and age where digital convenience spreads information, so being a public figure has more influence than some realize. It is not just some youtube video posted by an unknown person with a limited amount of views. This was seen by a large audience. Political affiliations aside, what kind of values does a person represent holding up a bloody head? Seems kind of extreme. I hope people out there are able to put aside labels and judge those based on character and actions. Sometimes it is better to walk in the middle of the road if there is an intellectual traffic jam going on both sides. Sometimes it is better to think before you react. Right Kathy?

Michael Moore’s Misplaced Fear & the Inauguration March

He’s been around for years now. Always there to cover the latest crisis, always having an opinion full of passion, but is that always a good thing? He is quite the storyteller and pubic speaker, but is that all that matters? It shouldn’t be.

Michael Moore swoops in when fear is high in the public sphere, when people are impressionable, and points the finger at what he believes is the culprit of whatever crisis is happening. Some claim he offers great insight and analysis, but the more I observe this man, the more I see he is fueled by emotions and not logic. To truly be analytical, one must actually be able to think logically and without so much “passion” or emotion.

Those who watch him, becoming convinced of everything he says, need to ask themselves why he has this power over them. Those who follow him, think of him as a great filmmaker, writer, activist, and everything which should embody a journalist. However, he seems to only truly let’s say “activate” when a crisis is underway in the liberal or independent parties. Which has been, for quite some time now, the majority, and technically still is since Trump did win by electoral votes. But rural areas participated more this time in the polls, swinging the tide in the other direction. And what people like Michael Moore do not really dig into, is gaining an insightful analysis of why this happened. He fails to take into account the rural perspective. His influence is fueling the misinformed into a deeper pattern of misunderstandings between rural and urban citizens. It is not just a disconnection between the media and independent journalism. It goes beyond his intellect, research, experiences, and capabilities to comprehend. Take, for instance this quote below and how he offers no further insights beyond it.

Moore said, “the reason it works — to get people to hate the press that is standing there is because the press has not done the job the people expect it to do.” Although his statement is true, he seems to ignore other factors which contributed to the Donald Trump victory. This truly shows how focused he is upon finding a single root cause in order to make sense to the masses who supported Bernie, Hillary, or didn’t vote at all. He goes on to urge those to join a March on the day of the Inauguration for “women’s rights.” This will provoke all those who relate to a socialist, communist, liberal influenced agenda to feel as if they are fighting for a cause.  When in fact, they are fighting against their own people, preaching forgiveness, unity, and equal rights on streets where we have western culture already accepted.

The real threat to women’s rights lies in Europe, where some women now wear chastity belts just to take a run. And women are not just the victims, either. Men and little boys are also abused by those who believe in ideologies that do not recognize equal rights, carrying on a culture that has brought upon war and destruction for years. If twenty percent of migrants are women and children, then why must western civilizations accept men who carry an agenda unlike western civilizations? Why accept those who chose not to assimilate, provide for their children, and become productive citizens? It only hurts the working class, poor, disabled, children, mentally ill, and those who actually need a helping hand and are willing to accept western culture as a part of American/European culture.

Those who attend the march on the day of President Donald Trump’s inauguration, I want you to ask yourself why you are there? I want you to ask yourself why you shouldn’t be doing more research on what is happening to Western culture in Europe? I want you to ask yourself why you are fighting your own elected president, rather than supporting his efforts for peaceful discussions in international affairs, nationalism, economic growth, and occupational growth? Would you really like World War III instead in a day and age where we cannot even provide for our own citizens and Veterans? It is time to implement the ideologies we say Western culture and America actually stands for. There are no boarders without walls or some surveillance in the world. There is no western influenced country that does not have laws and consequences. There is no western influenced country that has not had to fight against ideologies which threaten the rights of women and children. There will always be a battle but unity will only happen of common ground can be found among st those countries with the most logic, reason, and civilized of behaviors.

Let our country not fall on false liberal “leaders” and good speakers like Michael Moore, who threaten the very strength of our country with fear of its own citizens. Fear that those who voted for Donald Trump are perhaps racist, homophobic, misogynistic, and/or misinformed citizens. Fear is distracting, unproductive, useless, depressing, and is a great source of fuel for those who threaten democracy. What is done is done. The voting process spoke and we must rebuild our country, unified, and willing to be open minded when it comes to international affairs. Our production in our own country has decreased tremendously, the Middle class has become the lower middle class, and our out of date policies no longer work with the current situation and market. We have had some of the most brilliant minds on this country appointed by Donald Trump. Let them lead, rather than follow. Listen, rather than speak. Trust, rather than doubt. Don’t let fear of the wrong things dictate this country.

 

 

A Woman Defending Her Freedom

VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxKV0wL71DI

If someone walks up and destroys a window of a business, they get arrested, right? If someone does property damage, they are usually arrested, period. Why is it when a man walks right up to the Donald Trump star, he is somehow able to walk away and turn himself in later? I don’t think so. You destroyed property and should have been in handcuffs immediately. If it was a Hillary star, would the outcome have been different? I think so.

When an older homeless woman stood by the Trump Hollywood star, with her signs and protection, she was swamped by a bunch of people. They called her a b**ch, ripped her signs, and belittled her so much she went into a dis associative state. A heavy set man aggressively came towards her, knocked her cart over and she went onto the concrete. Her eyes closed, and I noticed her frail frame shaking in anxiety. They judged her as mentally ill rather than just possibly without a job. Rather than ask her about what happened to her they told her to take her meds. This is disgusting.  Not only did they disrespect this woman’s right to vote, but they labelled her, treating her as if they knew who she was and what she went through. They also accused her of being a drug abuser. Honestly, not all homeless people are drug users.

This woman had signs which made logical sense. She had opinions and sentences that were more more thoughtful on her signs than I have seen on the majority of signs. Yet, they still label her. Perhaps, half of her issues are economical, environmental, and socially constructed by ideologies that are irrational and judgmental towards her. Perhaps, she is standing up for what she believes is right and will help her.

Regardless, this is an inhumane way to treat a person. I understand tensions are high, but in no way should anyone endure what this woman had to endure. If I could, I’d give her a hug.

Who Told You Who I Am?

Who told you who I am?

how can they speak for me when they can’t speak like a man?

You come at me like a bull in heat

desperate for a person to complete

your next sentence like the fucking movies

but hate to break it to you this is reality…

you don’t maim who you love

you don’t break someone down

unless you want them to run off

with a better fucking clown….

I hate the way your lips move

but cannot rhyme

you have no talents

you can’t even focus on them

cuz’ you’re too blind

to your own sickness

running out of your veins

out your nose

then onto your face

teeth rotted out like they were never touched

you a man?

I think you need a toothbrush…

I can’t speak for all you men

cuz some of you have game

you can run in other people’s face

and the truth you can claim

but some of you should take the advertisement down

cuz you look like trash with that big old frown

Who told you who I am?

how can they speak for me when they can’t speak like a man?

you come at me like a pilot but without a plane

you acted all pimp without the cane

I wish I saw the stars in your eyes

were just reflections of the street lights

cuz the way you lit that cig

could make any heart stop…

Who told you who I am?

how can they speak for me when they can’t speak like a man?

How do you even know me when you were always in command?

A person ad midst a war is never able to stand.

 

Eye for an Eye Mentality

I am not going to sit here and be gender biased and say a man should never hurt a woman because women as well hurt men. Rather, I will say people shouldn’t hurt people. It is disgusting to me we live in a society with the eye for an eye mentality. “An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.”-Ghandi So little words that carry on nobleness which I have yet to see from many people. Once a bad event happens, a curtain opens and few are able to introspect and see perhaps how they engaged a situation. I am no saint but my god has my pain exceeded the level of consequence I should endure, in fact anyone should endure. I am over a cycle in my life of helping those who cannot help themselves. Too many people I have met, who seem to be normal then I discover they have a major crutch. Most cases it is medication. Yes, some people have imbalances which need correction but the human mind is capable of enduring the worst so why can’t it endure the positive? What makes people desire pitfalls rather than climbing mountains? Face fears, endure pain, and at the end of the day smile because whatever imbalance you have could be temporary anyway. And if you recognize its existence positive thinking can go a long way. I have faith in people still, and no one can take that away. But for now, I do me.

Kiss the Fangs

I feel like a child lost in the world with a ton of beasts, fangs ready to suck the imagination out of me. So much money, time, patience wasted upon the wrong people. There are no boundaries for them. They will say and do whatever you please but when you think about it the motive is unclear? Such a world of leeches. They take a beautiful lake and turn it into a swamp. It must be sad in theirs minds. I must admit I love little and hate more. But is that normal in American society? I feel a decline has began on a personal level as well as political level. People will now lie, cheat, and steal in order to achieve the american dream.. I lie awake at night with thoughts of a world in chaos. All around me is fire, my precious land I worked so hard to sustain now cinders beneath me. Do you see it coming? A change needs to be made. A rise of those tired working hands and praise for those who give their lives to this country; the working class. No praise for those gluttonous creatures who prey upon inequality as a means of financial gain. Thank you.
