A little follow up to the Paul Romano post from yesterday:
You can go to Paul’s YouTube channel, and survey his content for yourself.
I’m certainly not suggesting that every single video is aimed at dehumanizing and demonizing MAPs…But those sorts of hyperbolic propaganda are there.
It is my position, that this type of material objectively sets on par, with the anti-Jew propaganda from Nazi era Germany…It’s the modern day equivalent.
As such, it deserves critical and level headed response to it.
Of course…the media creator isn’t going to feel especially good about the criticism…It can be perceived as a substantial blow to their ego…Or it can deconstruct their world view…And they’re often not comfortable with that.
Thing is…Bad information, must be challenged…It must be scrutinized…Even when the majority will give it an easy pass, not judging it’s validity at all…Someone must stand up and say, “This is not correct.”…and point out what problems exist with it.
That is the spirit in which I brought Paul’s video here, yesterday.
…I just didn’t actually get around to making comments of my own, on the video itself.

01) Puberty – The First Kiss
“By the age of 11 childhood is nearly over and we’re about to change like never before, we’re on the brink of adulthood, but first comes the hormone surge of puberty. Puberty doesn’t follow a schedule, it can begin at any time, depending on our DNA clock, our lifestyle, even our diet. Whether female of male, it begins at the base of the brain in the hypothalamus, the same region that controls our body temperature.
Puberty is the process of physical changes through which a child’s body matures into an adult body capable of sexual reproduction to enable fertilisation. Puberty starts when the hypothalamus releases the protein Kisspeptin into the brain. The Kisspeptin triggers the release of other hormones throughout the body, this stimulates the sex organs to mature.
Clip from the critically acclaimed documentary “The Living Body”.”

01) How can this be Really Happening?
About eleven minutes in, is where things start getting revealing…Things go deep into “pizzagate” territory.
Probably fifteen or more years back, someone brought a link to a website [and book, I believe] to BoyChat…I wish I could revisit that post, but it is certainly not online.
They offered it to get response…likely hoping to get signs of thought “outside the echo chamber”…And I never thought ill of them for doing this…But at the same time, I could sense that the guy they were bringing attention to had something at least subtly off about him…He was offering a different perspective…Not one entirely without merit…But one that’s very skewed, from a career of working with severely abused children…In short…he was operating from a fringe, himself…And how he was going about making all these broad spanning proclamations that he just “knew from experience”, was troubling to me.
I don’t know if I ever verified any connection or not…but this Paul Romano guy, totally reminds me of the guy I was just referencing.
You know…”This is what I’ve interpreted, out of what I’ve seen”…therefor…”This is how life works”…and…”This is how you must think, and what you must conform to”…and…”Pop psychology this”…and…”Pop psychology that”…and…”Here are my spiritual, moral ideas, for good measure”…Oh! And “I’m authoritative”…And “pedophiles” and early life human sexuality get demonized, every step of the way.
There are some things here, I think warrant a response…And that’s one thing I do like about people like this…They offer a more rare, precise set of hard ideas and questions, to chew on and respond to…I don’t believe those things should be glazed over, or ignored…
…But I see that I have responded to this guy in the past…
I’m not convinced you can sincerely hold a productive dialogue with people like this…
When I respond to people like this…it’s far more about pointing out the shortcomings in what they are claiming.
Apparently he believes in “Celebrity Blood Sacrifices”, as well…
I’m not going to say anything else, right now…Except that responding to people like this, is like shooting fish in a barrel…
Most people should have enough common sense, to see through what this guy is trying to sell.
…Other’s comments are welcome, of course.

01) Michael Nugent discussing the Stephen Fry blasphemy case with Matt Cooper on Today FM
“Atheist Ireland’s Michael Nugent discusses the Stephen Fry Blasphemy case on Today FM’s the Last word with Matt Cooper. Programme aired on the 8th of May 2017.”
Michael Nugent discusses the Stephen Fry blasphemy investigation on Newstalk’s the Pat Kenny Show:
It is dead wrong for any state to grant the veneer of validity to outrage over “blasphemy”, by setting the force [and presumed social order] of law behind it.
Those are not laws that are doing good…Those are laws that are doing ill.

01) French President’s Wife Would Be On The Registry In The USA
“Newly elected French President Emmanuel Macron was just 15 yrs old when he began to fall in love with his 39 yr. old married drama teacher, Brigitte Trogneux. Macron was attending “La Providence”, a Jesuit school in Amiens in Northern France. Trogneux was married to a banker and had 3 children. Neither will say exactly when their romance bloomed but there are photos of Macron kissing his future wife on the cheek when he was just 15. Trogneux says exactly what you’d expect an uninhibited french woman to say “nobody will ever know at what moment our story became a love story. That belongs to us. That is our secret.”

01) Why I Left White Nationalism: Derek Black with Dr. Marcia Chatelain
“Derek Black grew up in the white nationalist movement and now speaks out against it. His father, Don Black, is the founder of Stormfront, the internet’s largest white nationalist website; his godfather is former Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan David Duke. As a child, Derek was brought up in the center of the white nationalist movement and some even nicknamed him “the heir.”
After being raised in this community however, Derek began to change. Upon attending college and being embraced by a circle of diverse friends, Derek was forced to reconsider the world-views and beliefs which he had once held so passionately. Derek no longer believed in white nationalism and disaffiliated himself from the movement and values of his childhood. Derek’s story has been featured by The Washington Post and he also authored a recent op-ed in The New York Times.
In a conversation with Dr. Marcia Chatelain of the Georgetown University History Department, Derek discussed about his experiences with the white nationalist movement, why he chose to leave it, and what can be learned from his story, along with other topics.
The conversation took place on January 26th at 7:30PM in Copley Formal Lounge.
The Lecture Fund is thankful for the support of our co-sponsors, The Hoya, Georgetown University Black Student Alliance, SOCA, and The Jewish Student Association.”
