Eminem Made A Documentary About Drug Addiction

If You're Not A Gay Hippie Feminist (Use Time Wisely)

These poor artists today - like the "Girls" girls - raised to face issues their parents couldn't, as those drug-addicted hippies stupidly forced their children into coping, anyway:

"…Whether compulsive sex is the answer or more of the problem,…" 

Look, Kids, forget your parent's example:

TMR is to bruise your privates once, maybe twice, from overuse - so you won't like it.

Then you're on your way,…

 

Hallucinations: Imaginary Visions Don't Get Real Results

It's difficult to understand how plowing drug users with propaganda is supposed to work when, it's obvious, the thought processes currently flowing - from straight life - don't. Let's start with the obvious:

How is creating a society - filled with propaganda - supposed to make anyone want to live, much less, stay coherent? 

Are you kidding me? Do you see how far off the mark they were, whenever it first occurred to someone behind this clip to say, "Hey - I've got an idea!"? (All the, I guess, brilliant lawyer/professor Ann Althouse wondered, after seeing this, was "How'd they do that?") It's pretty obvious to most drug users what no one's addressing:

How coping - without drugs - is supposed to fix living with idiocy. 

For instance, there's a lot of religious nuts out there, of one kind or another, no more reasonable than your average drug addict. Did the existential problem they pose, somehow, go away because whoever made this "public service announcement"? Or, as the commercial depicts, did the creators conveniently think users would forget the existence they're stuck in, while watching this? (Really? It was considered that powerful?) Let's try something, few who make these things consider, and look at it all another way: 

Where's the commercial (and concern) for a fallen stoner friend who found an approved belief system but - as (wink, wink) his appearance improved and his mind sharpened - he increasingly used both to become popular as a rigid fanatic spouting nonsense about invisible beings who must be obeyed? 

See, now that's a common 1st World problem that people are dealing with. It needs addressing and, by doing so forthrightly and in a straight-ahead manner, you might make life more tolerable, allowing some users a clear pathway off drugs. 

Doing the one thing found, to make the incomprehensible tolerable, is irrational? Because you'll die? Life kills us all, sooner or later, so that's no argument.

Religion and drugs make life less than worth living, so they've both got you coming and going, but (the thinking goes) at least drugs give you something in return. There's a real incentive. 

Stop trying to scare people out of living - kill two birds with one stone: 

Fix a real problem and (most of) the imaginary go away, too,...

 

Both Ends Burning

If you've read this blog for any time, then you know the prevailing hippie ideology, that women (or any other exclusive group) in power somehow improves our lives, is repulsively idiotic to me.

I base that conclusion not on some counter-ideology of male (or black) superiority, which would be just as stupid, but on the evidence of our lives.

We're not suffering from a lack of women in charge (or gays, or blacks, or conservatives, or whoever Ann Althouse accepted as her personal savior next week) but a lack of maturity - and women are as glad to prove the point as any man. Maybe even more so. 

See the first video above.

Women like to push the "You Can Believe What You Want To Believe" mindfuck, but they really believe only a few things - most of them self-serving and/or completely bogus. Don't argue with me:

They kill kids.

They do so while also pushing the "Everything Happens For A Reason" nonsense - until they're caught being unreasonable - and then they become even less reasonable in an attempt to cover for it. (An unseen act of absolutely brutal revenge, merely for being found out, should be placed on the menu at that point.) Fairness, good, whatever, are all afterthoughts.

They make me happy to be a man.

Secure people don't behave that way, only cowards, scared to death of a world they can't control. So, deep down inside, that's what they fight for:

Control of the world.

But - last time I checked - that impulse is still a very, VERY bad thing.

So it doesn't matter how well such ugly ideas are currently entrenched in passive culture: 

The results are as well,....

I Have No Idea What Hippies Were Rebelling Against (When They Had Drugs For Great Moments Like This)

Try to imagine her as the "girl of the past" in Stevie Wonder's Too High:

Post-modern overdosing, making the stomach squeal, knowing it has to come out.

Hey, Lawrence Welk started it! Consider it payback - I never got a warning on where that "modern spiritual" was going or coming from - but I do remember the claustrophobia of Lawrence Welk's (and Billy Graham's) era - I was born in 1961 - so it's not that weird for me to see it today as who we are, even though it can be kinda surreal, considering who are are NOW:

                                          Some bad stuff's gotten mixed up with the good.

According to Wikipedia, "despite the emergence of rock and roll, 'Calcutta' reached number 1 on the U.S. pop charts in 1961; it was recorded in only one take. The tune knocked the Shirelles' 'Will You Love Me Tomorrow' out of the #1 position, and it kept the Miracles' 'Shop Around' from becoming the group's first #1 hit, holding their recording at #2."

                    Here comes the groaning, and then the churning, twisting pain from below.

For a number of reasons (One take?) I would've thought they've gotta be high! O.K., maybe not:

Better lay down for a while, fast, before any loss of equilibrium.

Remember screaming, "Mama, there's black people on TV!"? Incredible. 

And no wonder there could ever be a Lawrence/Smoky competition when - if you consider what Welk was selling - The Miracles were practically pushing the same conservative product, just with crazy choreography. 

Too late - running for the toilet - because here it comes!   

Alright, try this riff - and check the Quentin Tarentino impression:

In the first Welk video, at the top, that guy later becomes Stevie Wonder's widowed drug addict, and he's lamenting having married the dead girl he now watches himself singing with in old videos, the bitter result of having naively taken his momma's advice to "shop around".

Pretty good, huh?

Gagging now, tasting it, drinking a little so as not to forget.

Kind of an Amy Winehouse thing, but from the other fruitcake's point of view. Maybe add in a cautionary tale-type message, like if you don't save your money - and you don't die of drugs tomorrow - you won't have enough. Or something.

I don't know. What do you think?

Better wait - the dry heaves haven't ended.

Whatever it is: BAM! That could be a TV show! (I kid.)

Alright, splash the face with water. Wash the mouth. Comb the hair.

Silly mortals. We Americans have come a long way, and - because we're essentially the world's guinea pigs for crawling into the unknown - I've come to the conclusion that we're going to always be waaay ahead of the pack. I know it's dangerous but I've been thinking, and - while being born still isn't the big event that sends chills of joy down my spine - I have to admit, despite my complaints, I'm not bothered by the times I've been living through.

I mean, I got here after garters and before AIDS - lucky,...:

Adjust the tie - wipe the brow again - try to look presentable.

In considering our times, I also have reached the conclusion that we - the Americans - haven't been around long enough to be labeled "evil" yet. Compared to others, we were never a bad people, just a little crazy and impulsive, and to suggest otherwise is a lie. Whoever it is or was saying it, it's a lie:

Walk out, elegantly glide to a back room, and let the head hit the pillow with a "thud".

I, for one, will never be ashamed of who we've been.

It'll be fine later, but for now, just sleep whatever it is off,...

 

All Mixed Up: Is There Life On My Blue Suede Shoes?

Daniel Politi: 

 "Consider yourself spiritual but not religious? Well, you’re more likely to develop a mental disorder, become dependent on drugs, and have eating disorders, according to a study published in the British Journal of Psychiatry." 

 TMR's The Crack Emcee: 

 "Listen, Science Boy, I'm too busy - being concerned about the climate, how I can continue my use of craniosacral therapy, and staying organic - to care. I'm saving the planet - 'Gaia', I mean. Sorry - I'm a Pisces,…it happens a lot. That's why I meditate before yoga class,…"

 

Aww, See, Now They've Gone And Made Me Want It

"Past Help" (Yes, That's What's Got Me Into This,...)

Paul Thomas Anderson's Scientology movie, "The Master," is in the chute - with Philip Seymour Hoffman as the L. Ron Hubbard-like all things to all men, and Joaquin Phoenix (an actor who, along with his late brother, River, was raised in The Family sex cult) as the poor schmuck who somehow wandered into his moneyed collectivist nightmare.

I used to have high hopes for this film, but no more: 

With the nomination of Mitt Romney (and the Mormons) to the presidency - coming right after the Obama/Oprah charade - I'm now convinced the Baby Boom has conditioned the American people, if not the Western world, to desire being made fools of, and nothing less than their complete self-destruction will talk them out of it.

No mere movie can affect that. No words are enough. Like a drug addict, they must see it through - to the end.

So be it,...

 

Everybody's Focussing In (On The Wrong Thing)

We put this topic in our subhead yesterday - that few follow-up on Charlie Sheen's charge about AA being a cult - and, today, this is the only article we've found about it, with the rest focusing on Sheen's ranting, rather than the validity of his words. (Wouldn't you rant, if you were railroaded into a cult that was accepted by society, but you weren't?) Which, now that we think about it, is exactly the process used on us as well:

Actor Charlie Sheen is stirring controversy and criticism after delivering an on air rant during an interview on the Alex Jones Show. During the on air radio rant, Sheen criticized the producer of his hit CBS television sitcom Two and a Half Men, but also made some negative references to Alcoholics Anonymous. 

Speaking of his sobriety and the group known for their infamous 12 step program and helping others take their alcohol addictions one day at a time; Sheen described AA as a “bootleg cult.”  Is he right?  You may be surprised to discover that Charlie Sheen isn’t alone in his assumption that Alcoholics Anonymous is a cult.  Also, many drug and alcohol treatment centers have developed into cults, for example Synanon.  So what about Alcoholics Anonymous?

Drugs and Cults: Connected?

Drugs and cults are often connected.  Many cult leaders ranging from Charles Manson to Jim Jones were associated with drugs.  Whether it was using mind altering drugs as a form of control or claiming to cure drug and alcohol addiction, cults and drugs have a long history. Many testimonies, often given by former cult members, usually involve some form of drug use. Either drugs were used by the group, by the group's leader, or the member joined the group to overcome an addiction.

Drugs, Cults and a Higher Power

Some cults use their 'special connection' to God as a lure to gain new members; proposing a cure for drug and alcohol addiction. There have been many allegations against various drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers indicating that the facility was not offering “therapy” but rather mind controlling techniques that likened the group to a cult. Many people who have attended Alcoholics Anonymous or have been sent to live in residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities have left the experience asking if they were involved in a cult.

Is there one easy, definitive answer or is being in this type of group a different experience for everyone?  Can one person join a group like A.A. and leave with a positive feeling and another leave as though they were spiritually and emotionally abused?
The problem may arise from the fact that 12 step programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous and other drug and alcohol treatment centers focus on one thing: mind control and behavioral techniques. 

As these groups are founded on the premise of altering your thoughts, mind set and behavior, it is inevitable that the association with cult like tendencies will be made.

Yeah, "inevitable", unless you're programed by a NewAge cult culture to be more concerned with a man screaming for freedom, rather than a cult scheming on it.

That shit works like a charm.

Oh - and BTW, that drug and alcohol treatment center, Synanon? That's Scientology, and the courts will force you to go into their bullshit to get "help". This bullshit just never stops.

But, then, nobody wants it to.

INSTAPORNDIT II: Global Warming = The View?

We're finding it remarkable how people will keep referring to a person - or society - being in thrall to a religion, or a cult, but never discussing what that actually means for how decisions are made, resources are spent, or the consequences we face from this type type of thinking.

Here's Charles Krauthammer on PBS's "Inside Washington":

Look, if Godzilla appeared on the Mall this afternoon, Al Gore would say it’s global warming…

[Laughter]

…because the spores in the South Atlantic Ocean, you know, were. Look, everything is, it’s a religion. In a religion, everything is explicable. In science, you can actually deny or falsify a proposition with evidence. You find me a single piece of evidence that Al Gore would ever admit would contradict global warming and I’ll be surprised.

Laughter? Is that as deep as the thinking out there gets? Al Gore believes in the religion of Global Warming. Titter, titter. Nothing about how much we've spent on this nonsense. Nothing about the effects of the hysteria on the public. Just,...nothing.

We think it's a crime how smart these people think they are, and sell themselves as, and, yet, how truly dumb they actually turned out to be.

Speaking of cults, there's now a guy claiming he was tricked into sleeping with a cult leader's wife. So, like, can we agree cult leaders are weird yet?

Whoopi Goldberg says she was a high-functioning drug addict. We guess that explains why she's always been another low-functioning comedian. And here's a question:

How many lame brains is Barbara Walters going to put on The View before she realizes she's hurting the image of women and not helping?

Now this little lady? If you ask us, she's doing everybody a whole world of good,...

Every Search For Truth Always Leads To A Lie (But If You Only Want Sex We Got Somebody)

Wait - before we get into anything else - look at that photo. Is that a great photo, or what? Guys, seriously, what could you imagine doing - just with the space between her tits? And then look at her face. Is that a face that says "sincerity", or "integrity", or potentially "love"? Hell no! That's a face that screams, "What can you imagine doing - just with the space between my tits?"

Women - you gotta love 'em.

Alright, back to the (other) show:

We've had this for over a week, but it got lost in the Christmas shuffle (O.K., it just got lost, or we got lost, or something) but we know you want it (who doesn't want Rose McGowan dishing?) so here it is from New York Magazine:

Vulture caught up with Rose McGowan at the David Lynch Foundation’s “Change Begins Within” Benefit and asked her if she practices the Lynch Foundation–sponsored practice of Transcendental Meditation. "Should I lie to you?" McGowan asked us with a smile. "You know they’re all lying. None of these bitches meditate. Are you kidding me? This is fucking Hollywood; we put on lipstick. That’s what we do. It’s a fact." So if you did meditate, what kind of stressful events would trigger a session? "This kind of thing, really. I don’t do drugs and I don’t drink to get through it like most other people. Not only are these people lying about meditating, they’re all drunks and alcoholics. And drug addicts."

Fine. So everyone in Hollywood, who's telling you how "spiritual" they are, is pulling the wool over your eyes. Big surprise there. And don't you love Rose's "spiritual" language? Shit, if that Hollywood thing doesn't work out (and even if it does) she can hang out with us anytime!

If you want to know more about how the people who do meditate are lying to you, the Transcendental Meditation-Free blog (by meditators who've caught on - yes: people do catch on!) provides extensive coverage of David Lynch's latest Maharisi-inspired scam for you to enjoy - so go enjoy:

We're only going to tease you here.

Dammit: We Only Know One Cure For Breathing

We have got to stay strong:

To sit in the studio audience of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" is akin to having parachuted into an amiable and welcoming cult.

Sorry. This stuff gets to us when it's so open and nobody does anything, or even reacts accordingly.

Last night, right after we received praise for making people laugh, we went and flew into a really bad fit of man-sized anger. Hearing that a Democrat we, at least, liked a little was laid low - someone who was kinda normal, not perfect but who was real - after we watched her be treated like dirt by a bunch of lightweights, can do that. The world can be so damned unfair now. A few more prominent examples of Life being that stone cold to the truly deserving would be fine by us. Take the initiative, yall:

Make something work out right today.

Yesterday, we helped out a friend who needed it. No big deal - a trip to the supermarket, a little gas money, a few words of kindness and advice. He called back that night, thanking us, which really took us back.

"What in the fuck are you talking about?" we asked, "That's what we're supposed to do!" He said he knew that, but nobody else had, and he still wanted us to know how he felt.

All we could do was stand there in amazement.

Though we get donations through the blog, it's hard to imagine, in this place with so many Christians, the only serious recent display of "Help Thy Neighbor" we've seen in our adulthood was in that great drug addict movie called, Winter's Bone. It wasn't like this when we were kids. We come from the America where people remembered slavery and, whether it was down the block or around the world, sent each other food and money. That's how we survived in the foster care system. It wasn't no grand gesture. It was a simple acknowledgment that a kid with no parents needed somebody. Maybe a whole lot of somebodies. Getter done.

One time, during a social gathering, a huge stranger showed up in our neighborhood wearing rags. Half of his teeth were missing and he only had one eye. In many ways, to us kids, he was frightening. Everything came to a halt. He explained he had fallen on hard times and asked the adults, please, for some "help". By the time these scotch-and-water types were done with him, he had a belly full of food, plus extra to take home, new clothes, money in his pocket and a place to not just stay but live. And no one who provided it really had a pot to piss in themselves. That's what we learned the lessons of religion were supposed to be about. Not crystal cathedrals, or claims to being a "community organizer" - or even going to church - but just basic human kindness. That poor guy never knew what hit him, becoming a trusted, and vital part of our community, loved by all.

We also remember sitting in church one day, and a young couple's baby was screaming bloody murder, making some of the more well-dressed uncomfortable. The parents gathered their things to leave when the preacher asked, "Where are you going?" The couple looked up, confused. The pastor said, "Sit down. The baby's crying? So what? Babies cry. It's a joyful sound." Then, with an intensity we'll never forget, he looked directly into the congregation and said "It's aliiiiiiiiive!" causing everyone who hadn't been shushing this new family to burst into applause.

It's funny, the people and things we remember, and how they've shaped our lives. We would never want to be, or try to be, the people we see around us now.

These NewAgers, so-called "celebrities", and the laughable smart set who tells us what's what while wasting our money trying to avoid it.

We've known thieves with more integrity, drug addicts with more sense, and physically ugly people - breathtakingly ugly even - who were waaay more beautiful, inside and out.

Why Americans would look to admire anyone, for mere beauty or money, is beyond our comprehension.

But then again, the West's priorities have been messed up for a long, long time and we've never been shy about saying so. Who we've chosen to admire is all you've got to know.

We "love" and "admire" TV talk show hosts, who promote quackery and nonsense for money, and claim they're moral.

We promote homewreckers as "the most beautiful" amongst us. We elevate people with no apparent valuesto the highest positions in the land. Con men and swindlers are our top financiers and "spiritual leaders", pushing us to look ahead for our "full potential", as they reach behind and pick our pockets. And because of all of this, like the adulterous French so many idiots here admire, we think of this America as "sophisticated".

Well, like we said at the beginning, sorry. With our upbringing, we can't imagine how this Hell could lead to anything less than what some see as regular outpourings of disaster and rage.

It Never Ends (Because So Few Want To Stop It)

"The head of a new-age sect in Italy, said to have at least a thousand followers, has been arrested on suspicion of sexually abusing young girls and their mothers.

52-year-old Danilo Speranza is the founder of the 'Maya' sect – he is also accused of extortion.

Speranza created Maya in the 1980’s, aiming to help beat drug addiction with new age philosophies and yoga."
