I was iffy on posting this bc I have a LOT of ideas preceding and following this particular scenario and wanted to have it all finished before i shared stuff, but, eh. If I draw anymore, i’ll compile it somehow. I probs won't clean up the comics more than this though due to being busy, so u guys only get loose scribbles.
Also shoutout to @numbknee's fics for hella inspiring me enough to want to loosely play with some of their ideas/characterizations (hoping they don't mind), if u haven't read their fics, you should: https://archiveofourown.org/users/numbknee/pseuds/numbknee/works?fandom_id=35537

So glad I got to help popularize butters/kenny from south park back in the day like obvs i wasnt the first artist but i did art and analyses that def seemed to be a huge jumping off point for a lot of fanon exploration of them that I think at this point no one knows bc it basically telephoned but it’s cool. I love my unknown presence that permeated an entire space long after i left. Lmao i wonder how many fans are antis

I haven’t watched TFP, but I was curious about your tag mentioning the TFP hated women so much that it drove you crazy on your Arcee design post, so may I ask what you mean?
(And like, yeah, Transformers being misogynistic isn’t a big surprise, but I’m asking for the specific problems TFP has, rather than say TFA, which I’m more familiar with)
((Still really fucking pissed at TFA Arcee’s treatment too, btw))
OOF OKAY WELL LETS SEE HOW LONG THIS GETS
number 1: agreed on the animated arcee treatment. that show suffered from the blackarachnia versus arcee dichotomy of women, the good and the bad, on top of the using a womans tragic backstory to push forward a mans character motivation. they did it TWO TIMES, with BOTH their female characters. their characters dont end up being their own because their backstories both feed in to their respective male counterparts motivations (optimus and ratchet) and like...... while i LOVE animated they didnt do a very good job at all with the women (sari is more so a child character as a whole than a woman character, but also something something all 3 women are like biologically weird plot devices? so thats. hrm. also the oversexualization of sari when shes forcibly aged. also shes south asian and so the oversexualizing hits harder etc etc) basically its a whole can of worms but a good scene setter to talk about prime with.
so animated is cancelled because "the hub" network is making its own transformers show, but this ones written by the live action movie writers. uh oh. those arent written very well at all. i believe their intention was "you can write a movie but way longer and do more stuff" which isnt really... how that should work. anyway the way both minorities and women are represented by those bad movies is really bad, theyre very pro military anti minority conservative garbage that i genuinely think has warped a lot of young minds at the time and its a problem now. human women being objectified and placed as reward in the narrative and all that. robot women WE CANT DO ROBOT WOMEN THATS TOO CONFUSING!!!! oh ok you get one. ok she died. are you happy women? now a show written by them.
now on its surface, here we finally have a girl transformer in the main lineup, thats good! on its surface, arcee is a main character, a badass warrior. if youve been on my blog ive talked before about this weird mid 2000s switch up to making girl characters becoming less girly and more like. idk tomboyish? more cool and into guy stuff, that kind of comes about from the ALL MALE writing teams going "well we dont know how to write a girl/we dont wanna be sexist" but they dont actually know how to write women. so arcee's characterization is like. oh shes cold and serious and has a tragic past. its like a dude character, how do we write tragic backstories for dude characters? we fridge their women. so we just do that in reverse. what they did with her was give her TWO tragic backstories, one being that her "partner" cliffjumper dies and shes mad and wants revenge. and the other is that her "partner" tailgate dies and she wants revenge. basically her motivations allllll revolve around men. its not about what she goes through, its all about that she's a "woman scorned". its not even that it implies romance, the show never gives you a clear picture of what "partner" actually means in either context. this is topped off by pairing her with a teenage boy. in fairness, three of the transformers get paired off with a kid, but oh boy do a lot of problems arise from this specific pairing.
so number one: women being objectified is a problem in general, but it comes across worse when the woman can turn into a literal object and you dont think about the repercussions of that. jack darby sees a cool motorcycle parked and he just... he sits his ass down on it. it violates her personal space, and then he continues to use her body to show off to teenage girls. this is the basis of their relationship, that she looked like a cool vehicle he wanted so he claimed her. yes, he didnt know she was a person, but narratively we do. this will continue to be a thing over the series, arcee is jacks object now, he owns her and thus can use her to show off. what does arcee think of being used this way? not important. outside of her relationships with jack cliffjumper and tailgate, we dont really know a damn thing about arcee. its all about her traumas over MEN. be it romantic or platonic, the show cant tell the difference, because jacks MOM enters the picture like "you seem to be out late with some GIRL who is she" and thus there is beef between the two. because... you know women.
speaking of jacks mom: she should have been in the show as a regular paired off with ratchet. shes a nurse and hes an ambulance. are the writers stupid? its so fucking obvious. but no, she exists to have beef with arcee on behalf of being jacks mom. which makes it more clear that they're trying to say..... SOMETHING weird about jack and arcee.... aaaaaand then as a romantic interest for fowler. shes here because of her son and romance partner.
arcee is this cool warrior whos done all this stuff and is trying to keep the world safe and her people a secret, BUT JACKS MOM THINKS SHES IN THE GARAGE! so she better get back there for his sake! also shes so cool and level headed and doesnt want to drag race a punk kid who's making fun of jack BUT THEN HE SAID SHE WAS FAT SO NOW SHE CANT HELP BUT BE MAD! thats basically her personality as it stands throughout the show. oh she also makes fun of bulkhead for showing emotion one time. cuz like.... girls! being! sexist! to! show! theyre! cool!!!!
anyway. theres an issue with the writing of all the kids, cuz their plot relevance is really weak and felt super forced to keep them all in the story, many other versions of tf have done this better, but they basically force a relationship between characters and say "yep thats it thats the set up every child has their own pet robot, done and done"
one of these kids is MIKO. oh miko. in a world in which this show was good they would have combined the child characters and just had it be miko, because this poor girl is so disrespected by the narrative. she's presented as a "wild child" and thus paired off with bulkhead, whos a big bruiser who now has to act as her handler. she gets into trouble with the transformers a lot, like sneaking on missions and not taking the disguise part seriously. cuz like....shes stupid or something! haha isnt that funny! shes an exchange student from japan, she offhandedly says things about getting detention and things about her home stay parents being afraid of her. we get NO ELABORATION. we meet jacks mom, we see raf's family, THIS PART NEVER COMES UP AGAIN. miko clearly has no support system outside of the transformers, and she is often disrespected and made fun of by jack specifically and the narrative never makes him feel bad about it. each kid feels ownership over their robot, and the most change she ever gets to go through is having bulkhead almost die and so she's sad about it (also this is the only time she has a heart to heart with arcee. ABOUT A MALE CHARACTER) like if we could combine all the kids traits into one kid and have it be miko, a wild child whos good with computers and make june darby her home stay mom who eventually notices she keeps being missing that would make it way stronger of a character. also shes suffering from that alt asian girl colour streak syndrome, cuz she wouldnt be characterful enough if she wasnt also alt. if she didnt like punk music and monster trucks who would she be? the writers dont care.
and then for our LAST girl character we have blackarachnia I MEAN AIRACHNID. totally new character. uh. okay so you know how blackarachnia in animated was just like.... a succubus? which felt bad there? its worse here. shes a very one dimensional villain, which is fine, but they couldnt even keep her as being arcee's arch nemesis without literally redoing the same backstory they had just given her with cliffjumper. first they write cliffjumper as her partner and he's killed by starscream. then okay, arcee has an old nemesis from cybertron and thats airachnid what did she do? kill her PREVIOUS partner tailgate.
o_____O
you just....... you did it again? are you serious? they could only think of ONE way a woman would have any motivation and they just. did it two times. and they made that the basis of the whole beef, so even though this story could be the one to give you some toxic yuri ass relationship between these two women, it literally ends up being about men. AND THEN it's "shes gonna kill jack, arcees NEW partner"
do you see what im getting at? every woman revolves around men. they cant have motivations outside of men. they cant have any traits that make them interesting on their own. and even then, they dont know what to do with airachnid when she joins the decepticons so they just have megatron try to get her killed and she fucks off for a while, coming back to be turned into a LITERAL. LIIIIITERAL SUCCUBUS at the end. im not joking, they make her suck the energon out of men and shes on moon somewhere just doing that and thats how her story ends. like you can tell they casted a lot of bigger voice actors and had to get rid of them somehow but JESUS. double down on the issue with animated blackarachnia here ffs
aaaand. im pretty sure thats all the women. but yeah. none of them are well characterized, none of them have much agency if any at all. and on top of that, they are NOT allowed to be girly. arcee isnt pink PURELY because it would be weird to have a boy ride a pink motorcycle. arcee actually HATES pink (even though she is partially pink) and the writers literally make her say that. like why. just to show off "see shes not a GIRLY girl. shes just a girl"
like prime is bad for many reasons, like its depiction of disabled characters, turning bumblebee into raf's pet robot (who raf can magically understand without ANY explanation) without a care in the world for what he thinks or feels until he can speak again. like theres smalllll amounts of times he gets some good characterization, but for the most part he has no agency (see speed metal, an episode where jack asks RAF's permission to use bumblebee in a race, not bumblebee cuz he cant talk how could he have a choice). theres also weird characterization of bulkhead, which didnt really hit me until seeing him in RID alongside that grimlock, its only 2 black voiced characters who are very violent and clumsy and not very smart. uh. thats not good! there's also levels of homophobia to its depictions of starscream and knockout, things we can look back on now like "haha its camp" but at the time like. no they were writing it that way cuz its funny that they're queer. starscream being a complete fop IS the joke. calling him a "stiletto heeled freak" IS the joke. its a really bigoted show on top of just being written SUPER poorly. so you can all around TELL its written by the writers of the movies.
this got ramble-y but you activated my trap card, prime is the worst show because its presents itself as super cool and serious and dark while being written by bigoted idiots who couldnt write their way out of a wet paper back. "oh we ran out of money to pay this actor so we killed their character" THEN STOP MAKING BRAND NEW CHARACTERS MAKING YOUR TEAM DESIGN MODEL AND RIG THEM AND HIRING BRAND NEW PEOPLE TO PLAY THEM EVERY 2 EPISODES JUST TO HAVE THEM NARRATIVELY DO NOTHING AND THEN DIE!!! dumb. dumb show. dumb show so stupid. so stupid and it thinks its not stupid because its so so stupid. (doing the frankie from community bit cuz this is the way i calm myself down cuz the show makes me so mad because its so stupid lmfao)

dissomei just reminds me of that one goth kids episode of south park. like the one where the goth kids keep saying they arent emo, adding stupid/meaningless arguments as to why they arent emos, and saying they hate emos. like to everyone else, theyre the exact same, but to them it is so very important that people understand they HATE emos and would never be ANYTHING LIKE THEM (even though emo and goth music have a lot of overlap, especially in terms of subculture ideology and references, and that they are still apart of an overall alt community)
this is very true LMAO dissomei and transids are fundamentally almost the exact same. like yes the prefix of "trans-" is bad when it comes to things that you cant/shouldnt transition to, but other than that the terms are basically the exact same. the only difference between the definitions is the fact that dissomei is specifically against harmful transitioning, but like... many pro-transid people are as well. obviously, the entire transid community doesnt agree on that, but theres a significant number of pro-transid folks that are against harmful transitioning. so, taking that into account, what is the difference between dissomei and anti-appropriation transid folks? yes, many pro-transid folks are also pro-radqueer, and dissomei is anti-radqueer, but there are also plenty of pro-transid folks who arent pro-radqueer. so, fundamentally, dissomei is just... a specific subcommunity of transid, basically. because it just takes everything transid is but specifies that its anti-appropriation and anti-radqueer.
(yes im aware that dissomei is anti-transid but, like this ask said, it means nothing when theyre literally the exact same outside of that one stance)
its just very dumb to act all morally righteous and Better Than Everyone when youre doing almost the exact same thing. every single thing about dissomei is the same as transid, just more specific (because transid doesnt inherently have any stance on radqueers or transitioning). the only other difference between dissomei and transid is the fact that dissomei is extremely self-righteous about experiencing dysphoria/"involuntary disconnect" and not being like those fakers who use cutesy emojis and go "omgggggg this is so cute and quirky!!!!!!" to very very serious things and dont hate their identities 24/7 and- hold on a minute guys this is starting to sound really familiar
Tumblr media
"characterized by dysphoria"
"individuals who identify as this without dysphoria/the desire to transition are faking"
hmmmmmmmmmm... im sure the similarities here mean nothing. anyways. people need to stop feeling morally superior about this shit, dissomei is not better than transid and transid is not better than dissomei. dissomei is just anti-radqueer transmed-lite transid, which is arguably worse imo
also edit: to add onto the "transmed-lite" thing, many transmeds believe that trans people without dysphoria are experiencing something but that something isnt being transgender and theyre not welcome in the community because they dont suffer enough. almost like a certain community i know...

Puppet Week, March 8th
Day 6: Your favorite hc/ theory- whether it be your own or canon.  
i still feel like anti is going after all the other egos.
this is something i brought up a while ago, when jack started ramping us up for overnight watch. i assumed that jackieboyman was going to meet a similar fate to schneeplestein given the fact that he’d appeared again for the south park lets play. it followed the same pattern, small references to anti getting our guard up and then a character we havent seen in a while makes a return. one thing i didnt anticipate though was the fact that anti doesnt do the same thing twice. and neither does jack.
so overnight watch came and went, jackieboyman remained unharmed for now and jack let us know that he was going to be taking a break from anti. whilst, in the same breath, teasing us with all the plans he has for the egos and positively thriving and bursting with excitement every time we asked him about his big plans for the year.
so whilst i dont think there’s anything ramping up presently (dr septiceye is most likely jack fanning the flames cause he enjoys watching us go crazy, and i dont blame him aha) i feel like if anti were to have an ‘end goal’ it would be to get rid of all the other egos.
i use the term ‘end goal’ loosely, because jack has said himself that anti just ‘wants to watch the world burn’ -- but, he also has a fascination with making us suffer, and i mean that literally, because:
‘i wonder what will happen to your favorite b̷҉͟͠ǫ͘y̨͘͡ next time.’
ever since he’s said that, we’ve practically been on high alert. we’re worried for chase, for jackieboyman, for marvin, two of which we haven’t even seen since their first appearances. he wants us to watch them die without being able to do anything about it. and if he cant do that, he’ll figure out a way to make us suffer anyway, just because he can.
even though it was in the run up to overnight watch, you’ve got parallels that jack has made in regards to undertale and the genocide run to support this theory too. this ask he answered is quite ambiguous. you dont necessarily need to apply that to overnight watch, and seeing as it mentions eating souls a parallel to the genocide run can very easily be made. he even hinted to it with a thumbnail. 
the thing about jack is that he’s really, really good at throwing us off. he did it with schneep, that was the whole inspiration around the fic i wrote earlier in the week, a meager fan trying to let the good doctor know that the only reason we thought he was working with anti was because thats what we were lead to believe. we’re so busy scrambling and wondering what anti is gonna do and what’s going to come next that it’s so difficult to actually figure out what’s going to happen.
but lately jack has really buckled down with taunting us that we don’t know where schneep is, and its not just the good doctor he’s been teasing us with: he’s also been reblogging photos and art not just of chase is distress, but things that can easily be linked to anti’s involvement as well. before killjacksepticeye, (i think) he reblogged this post and liked some other things that alluded to chase brody being evil somehow, whether that was with anti’s influence or not, im not sure.
(also, one of the main reasons everyone thinks that chase is the ‘favourite boy’ anti is referring too (if not jack himself, which is equally as likely) is because there was a bit of a surge in the amount of chase brody art and headcanons and stuff right before the summer antipocalypse. now i dont know where this came from but all of a sudden it seemed like he was our favourite boy. i remember very clearly everyone fearing for chase’s safety first and foremost before any of the other egos.) 
and finally, we know that at least some of the egos talk to/know each other. schneep saved jack the first time anti killed him. he ‘helped’ chase, who then went back to his family. (and you know what jack?? an explanation of that little tidbit would be absolutely marvelous. did chase die?? did he kill himself?? what does schneep mean by ‘help’???) so you have there two/three egos that know each other. do the rest? i like to think they do, and maybe jack liked the idea too given the things he’s reblogged, whether he decides to implement that further is ultimately up to him though.
it’s all of these things that make this my favourite theory. it works so well with what we know about anti as a character. he’s desperate for attention and eager to kill. those are canon facts, so it’d make a scary amount of sense that anti just wants anything that’d get in the way of everyone adoring him gone. and if he hurts us in the process? thats just a bonus for him, i think. 
and i used to believe that it would happen in the pattern i mentioned at the beginning, but jack has explicitly said that he wants to start doing bigger and better things with anti. so if jack is still aiming to have anti hurt and/or manipulate each of the egos, its probably going to be worse than we can imagine.

February 14, 2021: 11:58 am:
=====================================================
Here is something to watch today. It could be a “nothing burger” but it might turn into a Double-Double at the In-Out-Burger, Animal Style (Grilled Onions and Grilled Mustard, they actually grill the mustard somehow)
I see fake Dannon yogurt there, a “Chinese (tofu) Knock Off”.
I see the addition of the letter “e” at the end, is lower case, is extra, one “n“ was removed from the center & replaced with (power) “e” at the end, to maintain the alpha-count.
I see that the Tofu Burger Yogurt is Amazon powered.
https://twitter.com/ReutersUK/status/1361008582548979712
Tumblr media
It’s a “Cheeseburger, Cheeseburger ... Coke! no! Pepsi! no! ... FRY!” terror hit order from Google/Twitter/Amazon Reuters UK news, and is result of Joe Biden’s terror team at the White House.
https://twitter.com/TractorLaw/status/1360997369349832707
Tumblr media
“Vatican“ Twitter Trend turns the “e” into “Fry”.
It’s for “nbc Saturday night Live” signature on a hit at my house, is the way it looks to me, Grants Pass In-n-Out Burger terror cell is called to do the murder at my house, White House, Amazon, Google, Twitter, and Reuters UK are backing the hit financially and otherwise.
Already today the neighboring terror cells are blowing the kind of airborne gas that produces symptoms of blurred and double vision, other symptoms such as internal burning sensation within the right leg, is a scary and painful sensation.
Tumblr media
The “Tofu nothing burger Power Yogurt” is orders specifically for terror assassins to use special airborne gas, one that produces symptoms the same as very strong laxative, and that kind of poison gas will make sure that if any public safety persons are around, they will be incapacited in the restroom after the small airplane fly’s overhead low and slow to release a load of poison gas over the whole neighborhood. The terror soldiers just use some Depend’s while attacking, are prepared that way.
Here, Fox news backs the order to use the Tofu Power Yogurt Knock Off gas.
https://twitter.com/FoxNews/status/1360995971006488585
Tumblr media
Fox news sends endorsements from Biden to use Amazon size Chinese Knock off Power Yogurt Laxative gas for attack at my house today, that will disable any public safety persons who arrive in response to request for help I made last night to the Joe Biden White House to stop ongoing terrorism and mass murder of citizens world wide.
https://twitter.com/FoxNews/status/1360917705247756289
Tumblr media
my cry for help is circulating rapidly from Washington DC, to Britain, to Hollywood, and Vatican terror cells all over the world.
https://twitter.com/StateDept/status/1361027428181762048
Tumblr media
https://twitter.com/FoxNews/status/1361051003903234054
Tumblr media
The two tweets above combine to say:
“Royal Dark Matter is giving birth from the Throne”
Means: “Holy Shit! (etcetera, and so on...)
There could be news about “South Africa, Cape of Good Hope” coded today, for more about Dark Matter Birth (public exposure of Christian Pirate Secrets and Lies)
Look for news about Los Angeles International Airport on Twitter today to see if the “Amazon Tofu Knock Off Power Gas” is to go next level, bigger, more power gas exposure in Josephine County Oregon. (LAX)
======================================
12:59 pm:
This below looks to be the earliest of the immediate responses to my White House cry for help sent last night:
I have not watched it yet, and already can see the gist of part of what is going on. The Fuji part is “Film at eleven“, means “Big news story, must see” and is “Hollywood” and “One Hour Martinizer” specific to the Fuji Film Vaccine Bullshit.
Boris is calling for services from Pacific Power Corporation (Rocky Mountain Power Subordinate terror cell).
“north east” = “Up, and to the right” and that means “Thompson w/Drum Magazine” and is the primary ruling weapon of Pacific Power Corporation in Oregon. The Thompson’s they use are hidden inside of the Pac-Pow service trucks, and are disguised with a “The Club” bright automotive red anti-theft steering wheel lock. The terror soldiers are able to walk around while carrying a Thompson Sub w/Drum when they are disguised that way because all you can see is the bright red “The Club” when you look at the Pac-Pow terror soldiers. The disguise only needs to be affective for a few minutes, after that, the trench is cleaned up by an Oxcart Driver, and no one ever pays any attention to the cart drivers.
The Pac-Pow Thompson w/Drum also is fitted with a small black cloth bag for catching the spent shells. The bags are similar to those that are on a carpenters orbital sander.
https://twitter.com/BorisJohnson/status/1360896430370676737
Tumblr media
This gets mounted onto a Thompson Sub Machine Gun as a standard terror army issue weapon w/concealing apparatus. Believe it or not, it works good, you will not see the gun, only that bright red Club is what you see. That, and if questioned, they just say they are locking up the truck.
Tumblr media
Goes on here:
Tumblr media
is carried by these guys:
Tumblr media
With this logo in Oregon:
Tumblr media
Interesting observation:
Internet search for: “Pacific Power Corp Lineman’s Boom Service Truck” and variations of Pacific Power search criteria for a service truck, produces no results that suit the description.
When you squeeze the trigger of a Thompson sub w/Drum on it, the direction the bullets go increases up, and to the right, as you hold the trigger. That fact is used for terror comm as “north-east”, and other ways. 750 - 1100 or so, depending on the year of manufacture, rounds per minute, going the wrong fucking way, when used by Canadian terror soldiers of Pacific Power Corp, and all of the Rocky Mountain Power utilities linemen/soldiers.
============================================
Here is that South Africa Duke & Dutchess of Sussex Holy Shit Cape of Good Hope I was anticipating would show up. It helps to certify communication about public exposure of “Dark Matter”, Christian secrets and lies.
https://twitter.com/BBCWorld/status/1360919227272691716
Tumblr media
The inclusion of the shark in the Twitter based terror comm is about a “Shark Maneuver”, is a “Drive By” where two vehicles pass by a location in one direction then third vehicle drives by the opposite way, they pressure and scare a marked victim with constant Sharks on drive by maneuvers slow and deliberate, while trying to run the mark over with all three vehicles. Sometimes special vehicles are used, ones with grill mounted machine guns, remote linkage operates the gun from the driver seat, while the driver steers the car to aim the weapon. Such cars with grill guns are often marked as such to inform other terror soldiers to stay out of the way. The markings are one single parking light is arranged illuminated on the car, is usually not a factory installed parking light, is dim, is extra, and will flash quickly as a cover for the machine gun fire.
===============
Harry & Meghan Windsor are both dead, been dead for about one year, are going to stay dead, they don‘t live in Los Angeles, and cannot possibly have any baby’s. They can’t even have a still born.
===============================
2:31 pm:
This below from ABC on Twitter, is a call to arms made to mobile terror soldier pirate crews, where every vehicle is considered to be a pirate ship, even a wheel barrow is a emergency evac dingy when driven by a Chritian terror pirate soldier.
The Truck Boat photo is old, comes from a time when the Pirate Car Vessal terror comm was made mainstream, they needed to inform the terror army about ways to mobilize terror cells, and the Truck Boat Cuban Refugee story was produced the same way any Hollywood production is produced, with actors and props.
You have to understand that Cuba never was a Russian occupation, and was never supported by any Russians, Cuba, including the Missal Crisis, and Guantanamo Bay stories have always been terror comm shell language from Britain. Cuba is a British occupation, and is used as a staging area for Britain/Vatican led attacks on USA, it’s relatively close by, is within radio broadcast range, and the lies that are told keep everyone looking in the wrong directions for answers to questions that don‘t even matter,  because there is no place on earth called Russia.
Think about the logic, that on the Cuban Island, a so called enemy where Communists rule, USA is said to have a US navy base on friendly terms with Russians and Cubans alike. Right there, you know Guantanamo Bay is something other than what we are told it is.
Guantanamo = Guan + tan + ammo = Bird + (leather lace) + shit (high concentration of nitrogen) + ammunition = Cuba is a good place to reload the airplanes with nitrous oxide poison gas mixtures.
The “tan“ part is a Fleetwood Mac inclusion.
Lindsey Buckingham et al:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Fleetwood_Mac_members
Fleetwood = “Fleet of Treasonous bastards”
Mac = 1313, could be more there, but that is a double whammy of bad luck contained in some bent pasta.

Speculation:
Tumblr media
Based on personal knowledge that there is at least one terror army submarine on the beach buried in the sand out front of Pelican Bay Prison in northern California, is launched manually with earth moving equipment as necessary, I say that Guantanamo bay serves as another such hidden terror army submarine base. That actually makes sense.
Part of the speculation comes from a Hollywood movie, where the words: “You can‘t handle the truth” seem to be reference to submarine jargon.
“U cant handle God’s truth“
A Cantor is a singer.
U is for U-boat, means “Underwater Boat”
Handle is for “Alias name”
“The” means God
Truth is “The shit is going to get very real”
So, Guantanamo Bay was introduced to the Canadian terror army, as a submarine base, with use of coded dialogue in a Hollywood movie production.
“How could a secret British Submarine be used to cause trouble in the Gulf of Mexico?”
Britain loves oil.
They took over Aramico a long time ago, or, Aramaco has always been secretly a British oil company. Very few people know that Aramaco is a British oil holding.
Tumblr media
Then, the Exxon Oil Platform leak that happened and made a great big mess, is how a secret British submarine could have served the Queen’s oil interests.
To weaken Exxon to make them easier targets for takeover, by wreaking havoc on them, with consistent public and global governmental pressure, to clean up their act, which was looking very sloppy for awhile and was very costly for Exxon, while also creating a myriad of regulatory measures from governments, all of which I’ll assume BP was already prepared to absorb at the time such regulation was implemented. A secret submarine could cause that kind of problems for competing oil companies of BP.
The old: “Chip away at the stone” trick, with a secret submarine.
Look for clues in the old news stories, if you find “Jarred”, that’s Black Gold that can sink an HMS oil barge.
Tumblr media
They say Jarred was removed from the Subway Sandwich advertising because of involvement in Child Pornography. Porn is a way of sexing up pretty much anything, go look at Guitars, see that there is Guitar Porn used for selling them, so, it boils down to “Advertising” is why Jarred was taken out of the Subway ads. But it was “Child Porn“. Ok, so that’s what they they say. I say that the inclusion of “Child” in the so called “Porn“ was about “nip it in the bud” sort of preventative measure, so no one will need to think about Jarred, or Subway, because Jarred was used as a  terror comm shell for saying commands associated with submarines at Guantamo Bay, The British think about children far differently than do people in USA and other parts of the world. Just look at Boris Johnson for a little while, and it’s clear that he is a big, 250 pound child. That is true with the so called Royals too, they all like to play dress up, and are old children, is all they are. A bunch of spoiled rotten children, are Britain UK leaders.
Exxon Mobile is a USA oil company.
The Brits sabotaged them with a secret submarine and assistance from US shill government, is the speculation here.
===========================
3:45 pm:
This below is interesting and is a tough read to decode:
It’s more difficult to convey than to read.
https://twitter.com/SarahLongwell25/status/1360989605621882889
Tumblr media
It has two main “hooks”. Above is the Lindsey Graham Hook to real you in, and below is the Nikki Haley hook to stay there, on the hook, looks like bait. I’ll do a quick read just because Graham is part of it, and when Graham is a news item, by default, that means US Military are not going to come home, ever.
Tumblr media
 Part of the gist of this requires a reminder that the terrorists are Christian, they do their terror comm based on sex, bodily functions, feminine bleeding, hygiene, sodomy, and other difficult ideas to talk about, and is the reason they use such basis for their brand of communicating, to make it so no one wants to publicly say what the message is.
So, let’s get started:
Graham drops trow, takes a stance behind Lara Trump, and starts going to town.
He is secretly thinking about Nikki Haley at the head of the UN.
Ok, there you have the basis to see other things,
Lara Trump = Lara T Rump = Laurel X Rump = Good Cross Ass = Fast Ass from Taylor Swift = “Send in some Schwagg Service Pronto”
news media needs a sexual distraction to happen to Public Security personnel. They need to send in Jennifer Anniston, who is famous for her super friendly positions.
That will buy some time, they are in deep yogurt in Hollywood DC.
That tells me there are not nearly enough public safety people assigned to whatever is is that is of interest, and they are down range of many thousands of very powerful people in Hollywood, and in Britain.
Lara Trump’s inclusion here is for a specific reason, for use as communication just by written mention of her name. The “T” in Trump is more important to look at separately from the other part of the name decode I did above.
A capitol letter T is sometimes used as a headless crucifix, it has no “Heaven“ portion of the Pope’s Crucifix. The T has the Hell part below the horizontal member, and the Horizontal member is all there, but the Heaven part that goes above the horizontal member, is not there.
So, that specifies the desired outcome when Jennifer “Schwagg Service” Anniston shows up at Public Safety HQ for special services.
Think about what damage could be done by Trish Regan.
“Inclined for undercover operations.”
“Armed to blow smoke.”
“Dressed to kill”
It’s Trish Regan‘s motto. So, it’s all very dangerous when the US national security, the sovereignty of USA, is subject to the very best that Hollywood news media has to offer.
“Loose Lips, sink ships”
Write that down.
That is my quick read of the Graham news.
If that kind of Damage Control were rolled out in my neighborhood, then Lara Trump changes to: Lara = Law A, while still thinking about Nikki at the UN.
Then, it starts to get very specific, so, you need inside information to know that Oregon State Police Officer Tanya Henderson, has “Second Prettiest Girl” status around here, and is capable of doing much damage.
There are no “First Prettiest Girls”, there are only “second prettiest” ones, it’s constitutional that way.
Beware of Tanya’s Patrol Partner, ORS Officer Jeffrey Prouix, he is extreme hard core mass murderer in a State Police suit w/badge & Police Interceptor, Tanya gives him additional interceptors to work with.
I don‘t think Officer Prouix (is French, pronounced “Prew” or “Proo”) is alive.
The Tanya Henderson I met, was blonde, about 5′ 5″, about 140 pounds, would be about 50 years old, maybe 45 now, has a tattoo on her ankle that says “Jesse” in white, invisible ink.
The tattoo was easy to read while laying on the ground having been struck by four tasers that one day when I called Oregon FBI to report terrorism in Josephine county, and Officers Prouix and Henderson were sent to come talk to me about terrorism.
===============
4:41 pm:
Biden can’t pass up a chance to celebrate anniversary of tragedy. The Christians are sick this way, the activity of continuous celebratory events marking annual remembrance days of tragedy and death perpetuates the tragedy, and inspires others to commit acts of violence, simply because Biden has shown interest in the tragedy.
https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/1361068202395107329
Tumblr media
That Joe Biden death celebration goes into the realm of a “Wreath Laying Ceremony” and that has too many different ways to make a desired result.
One is “Wraith Laying” and that gets back to Tanya Henderson and Jennifer Anniston SAG Schwagg service areas of Twitter based terror comm.
A “Wraith” in the past, has been some of the more twisted “Ye Olde English 800 Dark Ages“ (many thousands of them in the Hugo/Merlin Oregon area) terror cell members who specialize in olde world torture and warfare tactics.
Also, it can go to “Aretha Franklin” style terror comm. where they “spell it out” and do Hollywood magic to make illusion of witchcraft.
There, leads to “Frankin Mint” style terror comm, where a “Kite” could be flown, so, I’ll just say to be on the lookout for a Joe Biden Kite, some kind of secret message that he could have just given a heads up to say he is working on something special to do for a terror event somewhere.
Those are some of the ways a celebration of tragedy is used for terrorism, and by order of US Government shills on Twitter.
Also, local terror cells prefer the Parker Brand Cross Bow, this one is similar to the one they use to shoot at me with almost daily, the more I go outside, the more the arrow/bolts come from Monroe’s terror cell in my direction.
The cost about a thousand dollars, and lots of them are around.
“Sportsman’s Sporting Goods” of Medford, not far from the Social Security Field Office supplies the cross bows to the terror army.
Tumblr media
Modern cross bows are far more deadly than guns are. They are quiet, don‘t make a lot of noise, no one really is expecting to see one, so, a marked victim often will look directly at the thing while trying to figure out what that asshole in the bushes has over there.
=====================
5:22 pm:
One of the ways Twitter terror commands are done, is based on what I have always been trying to show, that the Screen Actor Guild are the leadership, they send commands to do terror, to terror cells in the viewing audience.
Here, Fox news lays the gun on the table. They say: “Here ya go, just loud this, with whatever you want, this time it’s dealers choice, wide open, we’ll back you for anything you think will work“
https://twitter.com/FoxNews/status/1360946645983137802
Tumblr media
Then, Washington Post shows up at the table, it’s a card game (SAG Cards) and they say: “Three Dee Printed Gun... see Fox news, we are in on that, this is the desired result *Looks like Meat, looks like cake, must be meatcake” is a Frank Zappa terror comm, is “Franklin” oriented, so, Biden signed on to the Fox news card game of Dealers Choice.
These are established terror communications that have been done on television news since the 1970′s, no one has noticed, no one is interested in real terrorism, or how obvious it is that a broadcast television reaches terror soldiers all around the world, does it mainstream, looks innocent, works perfectly for commanding vast armys to take over USA.

5:53 pm:
Some notes:
I sent a request for help to stop terrorism to Joe Biden at Whitehouse.gov last night after reading some very disturbing and threatening coded terror commands on Twitter that were presented in the wake of many attacks at my home that resulted in the death or injury some or all of the members of the band Foo Fighters, specifically Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins were extremely offensive and came into my house with keys given to them by the local sheriff, who makes copies of all of the keys people have when they are arrested in Josephine county, and the sheriff is not opposed to making up fake reasons to arrest people with help from local attorney Christopher Mecca.
This morning I received confirmation that the Joe Biden White House recieved the information sent to the White House. I sent the request for help to the White House fully expecting that a terror attack would occur as a result for having requested the help to stop the terrorism. I have sent requests for help to each of the last presidents, and called the white house when George W. Bush was president, but Barack Obama, with Joe Biden as Vice President at the time, was sent a letter in US Postal mail, and at the White House online similar to the one I sent last night, and two similar requests for help were sent to Donald Trump during his first month in office.
no help has come. There has been abslolutely zero interest in what I asked for, to help stop mass murders in Oregon by Canadian terror soldiers, instead, all of the US Presidents have sent assassin from the White House and from Hollywood, and many local terror cells have been sent to kill me, not help.
People like Jeff Sessions, Mike Pence, and James Mattis came to kill me, most of the “Former Trump Cabinet“ were actually terror assassins who came to kill me, and were killed in defense when they intruded into my home unannounced.
Good news is there has been no airplanes flying over my house dropping loads of poison gas today so far.
Bad news is that my eyes are burning worse than I can recall without having ground up glass shards tossed into them, my vision is poor, all blurry. My right leg and foot is also swollen and is burning internally.
Good news is I have not heard any of the big trucks that usually make a lot of noise at about 3:00 pm to scare me today. I don’t mention the rumbling of the big trucks very often, but their absence today is notable.\
Bad news is there is still no help, and with that cross bow message from Joe Biden I don‘t think I want to go outside to check the mail today... ohh, it’s Sunday, but I still would like to go outdoors safely, you know, walk around in my yard, do some activities, some much needed maintenance, but that cannot happen. The Monroe’s have cameras pointed at my property all over the place, and there are listening devices all over the place, they put one under my house at the front door, and, they installed a microphone transmitter into my jaw in 2011 when I went to a routine dental visit to repair teeth broken by a bullet that struck me in the face.
The bad news is I live in USA, a place no one cares about any more, and everything is fake.
The good news, I still have internet connection. Bad news, no one can see what I write.
The worse news is Twitter is still Tweeting, so, I know that there is no possible way help can come as long as Twitter is still operational at the Twitter source. There is nothing anyone can do to help until Twitter is taken offline permanently. The terror leadership are all shills, all are SAG, and all are associated to the takeover efforts, so,  if helpful people get started to do some security work, those leaders who arranged the work to begin, use Twitter to arrange that the security measures are exposed to terror cells who are specialized and well equipped to undo whatever security measures take place.
The leadership arranges security to happen above the table as is warranted, normal and customary, then, they use Twitter under the table to foul up the investigation work that they sent themselves. The real security personnel are sent into traps, tortures, killed, replaced with terror associates.
That’s why Twitter has to be taken offline, just to get started. The terror army is fifty years into their ground assault in USA, they are experienced in every kind of possible security work, to foul it all up. They make bait, it lures the security personnel, who are shown some kind of thing where taking action to stop it exposes their positions, their ID, and the whole effort ends before it begins, Twitter makes that happen. Good police are killed, bad police take their places.
Reminder:
Google has terror cell all over the world. There is one at the corner of Three Pines and Russell Road, a house where it looks like the people do a neighborhood auto repair service out of a residential garage. “Bad Guy Auto” they call it. From that residence another service is offered to other terror cell members, and especially to SAG Members who come to the area on “SAGClubMed Junket”. They do “Fast Car” service. It’s just a taxi service, but the car they use is nothing special to see, blends in real good, won‘t draw attention, is old, and can go real fast. The “Fast Car” (real name, I am not making that up) service is such that all of the other terror cells know about it, and everyone around is prepared to get out of the way when “Fast Car” is on the freeway, or other road. Everyone is connected with Blu-tooth, so, “Fast  Car coming through at milepost 65″ means “Get out of the way”, it’s supported by state police and sheriff. “Fast Car” drivers can get someone from Hugo to JP Morgan Chase Bank on Midland Ave. in less than ten minutes.
There is a Google terror cell in Bullhead City Arizona at Cam Villejo and Calle Amigo nearby a supporting terror take out center called “Terrible Herbst” gas station and store. That gas station does not show up on Google Map, instead they put the Terrible Herbst on the map about five miles away from where it really is on Hwy 95. It’s far away from here, but is Google, so, that place is connected to “Bad Guy Auto” and “Fast Car”, directly.
The Google terror is important to begin to see. They took all of the entries on this account, and turned it into a searchable data base. They continue to categorize, collect, use this information against me, they are able to turn everything I explain around backwards to hurt me, and those who the terror leaders in DC send to investigate these reports. I always am said to be the terrorist the security people are looking for, then those people are lured into wire snares and other spring loaded traps at Monroe’s next door at 434 Jackpine, and at 376 Jackpine, you need to assume that all of the properties around here have spring loaded traps and snares to stay safe and avoid the snares. Many are operated with motion sensors, and the ones at Monroe’s are self resetting snares, no maintenance is required, they cut people in two. The searchable data base that Google created helps the terror army to know intricate details very quickly because of the search features they made to use it with. That sounds like a lot of effort, and It is, but I have been exposing their ways for a long time, so, they did the Google Data base to slow down efforts to investigate.
==============================
7:26 pm:
US security should now that this Tumblr is the only way I can reach anyone, I have a phone, but all of the cellular towers and the whole system is fouled up, is in control of the terror army. I use US Cellular Service, same phone number since 2002. The phone has never worked to reach help, always has been subject to others listening. These days, they have automated systems to further foul up communication. I have not received any calls or texts today, or yesterday. Be advised that I use a Sony laptop, is good, has lots of memory and disk space, is about seven years old. One exception is the Sheriff broke my keyboard intentionally on June 15 when the fake arrest happened, so, I have no letter n on my keyboard, have to copy and paste each letter n you see here, is very time consuming, makes a difficult task more difficult. The terror bastards have it so even if you mask out this account, make it invisible to the public, they will use the norton 360 Symantec product (is called LifeLock now) to install keystroke recorders on the computer, there is nothing I can do to stop that. That, and even with all of the wireless settings set to Off, the information I type is electronically transferred in real time wirelessly to Monroe’s Offensive Surveillance Travel Trailer. They use the information faster than I can write it and post it from there. I suspect there are multiple blu-tooth gizmo’s that are bouncing the signal daisy chained to other places as I am typing. The Monroe’s were sent there because they are specialists at doing the kind of terror that they do, while looking innocent. The symantec products are a big problem, the source of the problems are at Centurylink ISP.
So even if the account were masked by US security, the terror army already has a way around that.
I don‘t use wireless anything except for the cellular phone, and that is only useful if I throw it at someone to get their attention. But, if I am stranded on the freeway, that phone will bring a tow truck within about thirty minutes, and those guys are all assassins who prey on stranded motorists. The phone only reaches terror cells, and that is by design of the systems that it runs on.
Reminder to search this account for “Centurylink Spaghetti Phone Lines”, “Medusa PBX Switch Board“, “Terminal Access Box”, and “Centurylink stole my phone line”, “Voip”, “Stingray and Kingfish” to learn about the different ways the internet and land line phones are fouled up with extreme complexity.
Please send help.
=============
9:27 pm
Joe Biden sent me a Molly Ringworm bug in the email.
It’s that blank “no subject” email there at 3:06 am this morning after I sent a request for help to stop the terrorism to the White House.
It went into the Spam Folder, but I opened it, probably not a good idea to do that.
The Molly Ringworm is a thing that is also associated to today’s Twitter Trend of a little girl by the name of Molly, you can search that on your own, the Trend is about one tweet, where if the girl dies, “they will say she is not with us anymore”, and includes something about an EEG.
So that bug mail, is from no one, and it is set up such that if I reply to the blank email, it will send a message back to myself. There is a little pink oval sort of Egg graphic that is included in the “Reply To” area header. That pink oval means that the Pussy in Chief at the Oval Office sent me a little present on Valentines Day because of the cry for help I sent to the White House. It’s a bug, Obama sent me the same one when I asked him for help about twelve years ago.
The thing that is weird about the Molly Ringworm bug is that little pink oval that accompanies the “Reply To” header within the email, vanishes after I open the mail once. It’s like Mission Impossible thing, where the message self destructs after five seconds. When Obama sent that to me, it caused a lot of problems, but so far, this go around, there are no problems with the Molly Ringworm Easter Egg Bug sent from White House.
I’ll wager that it’s a bug that seeks out and destroys that reply from the White House, and is part of Reuters UK’s orders to make Modifications to my request for help, if they can seek and destroy that White House reply, then they can blame me, say I forged the reply, and play stupid, as if they were not informed of the terrorism.
I can‘t show you the pink oval unfortunately, it already self destructed and won’t show again. Had I responded, I wonder what would have happened, no... I don‘t.
Presidential terror comes in small packages when Joe Biden is the President.
Tumblr media
That is a pretty handy little bug to have, for a US President, to have a little bug that can go to someones email to delete embarrassing information that was sent prematurely, automated, or as a threat, and needs to vanish after the message is sent. Very presidential, Joe.
=====================
11:26 pm:
Local Conditions:
I can’t recall a time when I was more scared to take a walk to the road than I was a few minutes ago after contacting the White House for some help to stop mass murders and terror take over, that was a stressful walk just now.
It’s cold, thermometer says it’s 39 degrees F, but it feels much colder outside and inside the house today than the temperature readings are indicating. There is light rain/drizzle happening.
The sound of a small propeller driven airplane accompanied my walk, from the distant south, was barely audible, but was there only as I stepped out onto the driveway near my car and I could only hear it for a short time.
Freebergs terror cell is especially dark, not one single light on that I could see from the road out front of my property.
445 Jackpine is showing a porch light tonight, that place has been vacant for a few months, suddenly there is some people there, they cannot be US citizens, so I am concerned about that, given four of them were killed over the past few days from nitrous oxide ignition.
Last night, I saw a paper sign that was put on a support post at the mailbox plank, it says that 434 Monroe is collecting mailboxes, and asks that anyone who has extra mailboxes to bring those to 434, or, to call a phone number that is listed on the note at the mailbox area. I know what that is about, it’s in response to what I was saying about the Monroe terror cell seems to have a lot of electronic gadgets that I suspect were sent to me by potentially helpful people, and around here, where no one reads English, are all illiterate, somehow that note saying the (that) Monroe’s collect mailboxes is a way to cover up the stolen packages. The note is still there, and the Monroe 434 mailbox was also removed from the plank where the mailboxes have been attached for so long. There is one additional mailbox has been removed from the bank of mailboxes on the plank out front that I could see tonight. The most recent one removed is Wesely and Henrietta Crowel terror cell at 549 Jackpine.
So, these have slowly been removed over the past few weeks:
325 Gasper
329 Liter
333 Baum
376A Chartrand
376B Chartrand
434 Monroe
and now
549 Crowel
Those mailboxes have all been there since 1964, are vanishing, and put at the actual house locations, I can’t tell if Crowel’s was reinstalled at that actual house location, it’s up by Sparacino’s, no outsiders can survive over there for more than a few minutes.
no one informed me of any new rules for this mail route, so, it’s all very mysterious, and since I have lived on Jackpine, 24 years, those mailboxes have been a continuous source of grief and terrorism, non stop.
My eyes hurt real bad today all day, and my leg is swollen, and is burning on the inside, is painful and there are no medical services where I could go for treatment other than extermination service at the hospital or urgent care.
I feel very cold, but the temperature is not as cold as I feel.
Please send help.
Bring your own hospital.
==================
2-15-2021: 12:29 am:
There were a number of deaths reported in the Twitter news today, this Washington Post tweet decode reads that Wapo Twitter account is requesting some “Strap”, human back muscle meat, is preferred over “Kiddie Table” which are the limbs of the murdered victims. SDA terror soldiers are cannibals, they often eat the victims they kill, sometimes they do that while the victim is forced to watch as their amputated limbs are consumed at a religious ritual.
Everyone loves twitter for a reason, what is your reason?
https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1361183827503235076
Tumblr media
they disabled my save button again, have to post everything twice when they do that.
See how it’s all dimm? it does not work when the terror army hijacks me like that.

so out of boredom i wanted to go in depth about something from a certain ep. in ‘the death of eric cartman’, from season 10, kyle calls cartman a “fat, racist, self-centered, intolerant, manipulating sociopath”. as we all know, it’s pretty easy to label someone a certain way, when in actuality stuff tends to go so much deeper than a couple of summarizing words. so i wanted to analyze each of those six titles that seem to follow cartman around.
1) fat. yes, hes overweight; there’s no denying that. it shouldn’t be included in this list of negatives, but kids are shallow.
2) racist. while there’s no denying he’s blatantly racist, i don’t think cartman understands the depth of racism at his age, and therefore it’s not genuine. none of the kids, except for token and nichole and maybe kyle, do. i myself was pretty racist until around thirteen or fourteen, because i’d been raised like that and i didn’t know any better. despite being jewish (granted, i didn’t experience any anti-semitism until i started to embrace my religion recently), i found harmful stereotypes about non-white people to be funny & often said them in jest, until i started educating myself and realized how harmful doing that was. unfortunately a lot of people don’t outgrow the racism they learn as children. point is, i think cartman doesn’t understand the magnitude of racism and it’s harmful effect on poc. then again, he doesn't care about any one but himself, and things that don’t directly involve him don’t concern him, so you can’t expect him to. but considering his recent pc arc, maybe he’ll mature a little. unfortunately, as of now, i think he just views making racist remarks as another thing that gets him attention. he’ll take any attention he can get, and negative attention is easiest to get. how to get negative attention? make everyone hate you. how to do that? display hatred towards everyone else. 
3) self-centered. he’s most definitely self-centered. i think cartman got a very extreme case of only child-syndrome (general selfishness, bossiness, etc. i myself was an only child until twelve, and i was a goddamn pain to be friends with, i’ll tell you that) that was magnified by abuse and neglect from his mother. he’s developed a me-against-the-world complex. not to mention he’s very intelligent, and he knows it, which led to some intense narcissism (or perhaps that’s a front to hide his insecurity, because there’s been a couple of instances where cartman’s grandiose facade cracked and we got a glimpse of the vulnerable kid underneath). that intelligence, regardless of how little he demonstrates it on a daily basis, also alienates him from the rest of south park, who are airheads. and while i can’t deny he’s undeniably clever, and that’s a positive for him, his self image of his psychical body is all false bravado; he’s convinced himself he’s strong, attractive, and manly, when in reality he’s chubby, weak, fairly repulsive (albeit charming), and a little more on the feminine side, if we’re generalizing - he’s emotional, sassy, manipulative, and on a more psychological level, he cross-dresses, plays with dolls, and is, canonically, attracted to boys. he doesn’t like himself, even if he pretends he does. now, personally, i believe all humans are self-centered - at the end of the day, do we genuinely care about each other people’s trivial problems? then again, i’m a raging nihilist. regardless, cartman’s put up a facade of who he thinks he should be, who he wants to be. his use of derogatory language towards others (not the personal attacks, like calling kyle a filthy jew or token a black piece of shit or whatever, but the general ones, like “hey, f*gs” or “whats up, dickwads”, yanno), it’s all to make himself feel better about himself. to try to put himself on a pedestal, so he’s untouchable, and he does this by demeaning others. his use of the f word in particular, and i’m not talking about fuck, is likely internalized homophobia.
4) intolerant. ties back into racism - he’s intolerant because he thinks it’s cool. he thinks bigotry is badass, and he’s obsessed with his own image, similarly to stan, only stan actually has morals and a decent sense of wrong vs right. stan will do anything to make himself look good, but only in socially acceptable ways. cartman, on the other hand, has no concept of what’s socially acceptable, and merely does things to the beat of his own drum; whatever he thinks is right, in his own eyes, he believes wholeheartedly, and he practices what he, and he alone, preaches. he thinks that, by spouting hateful bullshit, he, again, is putting himself up on a pedestal, which is exactly where he wants to be (and likely thinks he belongs). have you ever met/talked to a bigot who wasn’t a raging narcissist? i haven’t. cartman also clearly doesn’t know how to be nice, as shown in casa bonita; hate is all he knows. it’s his defense mechanism, likely because, subconsciously, he’s afraid to let people get close. he doesn’t want emotional intimacy with anyone because he doesn’t want to be genuinely vulnerable (partly because he likely considers vulnerability as “faggy” or “girly”, and his ego won’t allow that, and partly because he doesn’t want the walls he’s built up to be torn down - no bey reference intended, i swear). the only people he’s ever really opened up to have been his mom and butters, and with his mom he usually wants something and he’s exaggerating. butters, i think he trusts to some degree, because he knows butters is a dweeb and he’s naive enough to not entirely understand the difference between cartman’s true(?) nature and his facade, considering his erratic moods. still, even then, butters has shared cartman’s secrets time and time again, which probably proved to cartman that he really cant trust anyone. anyway, like i said, i don’t think the intolerance is genuine, i think he thinks it’s cool and he likes how controversial his remarks are, because, like i said, to cartman, any attention is good attention.
5) manipulative. he’s definitely manipulative, that’s undeniable. but i don’t think manipulation’s inherently bad, honestly; if you’re smooth enough to be able to talk yourself into getting your way all the time, good for you. if your morals are so shaky that you’re able to walk on other people to achieve personal success, you’re probably gonna move up quicker in the world, and i can respect that. cartman’s realized this at a young age, and he utilizes his charm. albeit, he often uses his power for evil, but still.
6) sociopath. this is the one i wanna talk about thoroughly. people don’t seem to understand the psychological meaning of 'psychopath’ or 'sociopath’, or any other psychological diagnosis. i’m not an expert, but i’ve researched psychology extensively, so i’d like to think i’m somewhat of a reputable source when it comes to this sort of stuff. and while i hate to try and stick a label on a fictional fourth grader, it’s pretty fascinating to try. however, you should still take everything i say with a grain of salt. anyway, so, admittedly, on the surface you would think cartman was a sociopath. he lacks empathy and manipulates as necessary without guilt, and while i think he definitely displays antisocial and narcissistic traits, i don’t think hes a sociopath. if anything, he displays some symptoms of high-functioning aspergers (ironic, considering that one episode). as someone on the autistic spectrum, i hardly want him as an example of an autistic person. but he sort of reminds me of someone i studied extensively while researching criminal psychology - one jeffrey dahmer (the real one, not the south park parody version of him). dahmer was officially diagnosed with bpd and schizotypal pd, among others, but a few of the many psychologists he spoke to following his arrest diagnosed him with aspergers. dahmer’s personality would go from awkward, reserved, and gentlemanly, to cocky, aggressive, and cruel. this could’ve been the bpd & aspergers/szpd (which is, more or less, aspergers & schizophrenia smushed together) coinciding. a little personal input: i myself have been diagnosed with a lot of different shit by several different therapists, but my lack of empathy and aloof attitude have been persistent symptoms in each of the diagnoses. if i compare myself to a friend of mine who has bpd, we’re pretty damn different. but if mashed together, we’d roughly make a dahmer-like personality, i think - and possibly a cartman-like personality. see, cartman’s behavior is very sporadic and unexpected. his default tone of speech (which says a lot about a person) seems to be a sarcastic but detached sort of drawl, which reflects his laid-back and idgaf-esque manner. he’s easily agitated, in which case his voice raises, often in a matter of seconds, before he’s returned to his relatively calm usual demeanor. the anger usually doesn’t last, unless it’s a heated argument. when angered, he can be driven to severely injuring people, without a second thought, because he lacks empathy. he blindly follows trends if they make him look cool, although i don’t think he really has a concept of what’s cool, nor does he care, i think he just tries to blend in to some degree to avoid ridicule, and because he wants people to like him. he’s assertive and straight-forward, doesn’t care if he hurts feelings, and doesn’t concern himself with people’s problems or opinions, although i think he cares about what people think about him a lot more than he cares to admit. that’s another thing that’s interesting; how he’s hated by everyone, despite his need for validation, and his brain twists things so he thinks people like him instead of just tolerate him. it’s crazy. anyway, i dunno, not making diagnoses, just bringing up symptoms and possibilities. and that’s all. gnite.

South Park Has a Donald Trump Problem
The President Trump maniacs who reside on The_Donald subreddit rejoiced this week in response to some big bulletin about South Park ‘ s upcoming 21 st season. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times , Trey Parker was indicated that he and his co-creator Matt Stone will be laying off the Trump jokes.
” We fell into the same trap that Saturday Night Live fell into, where it was like,’ Dude, we’re just becoming CNN now ,‘” Parker replied.” We’re becoming:’ Tune in to realize what we’re going to say about Trump .’ Matt and I hated it but we got stuck in it somehow .” He computed,” We possibly could put up billboards –‘ Look what we’re going to do to Trump next week !’ — and get crazy ratings. But I time don’t care .”
” TREY PARKER AND MATT STONE UNDERSTAND WHAT CNN AND MSM CANT ABOUT TRUMP! South Park to no longer places great importance on Trump in next season and create real humor again !” one Reddit post ejaculated.” South Park bends the knee on their fake-news-fueled portrait of President Trump ,” another speak.

Madam president: are female leaders better for women?
Hillary Clinton would have done more for women than Trump, but less than Bernie Sanders. What is womens politics, anyway and who does it best?
This piece started with the assumption that in 2017 we would have a feminised global stage: thered be Hillary Clinton in the White House, Theresa May in Downing Street, Angela Merkel in the Bundeskanzleramt, and Marine Le Pen in a hollowed-out volcano. I wanted to know: what would such a spectrum of women in power, with their various viewpoints, tell us about womens politics? Is there such a thing? Is it a good thing? And how do you square a feminist desire for female leaders with the ascension of non-feminist ones? But it didnt quite turn out like that. Now, those questions seem peripheral.
When Donald Trump won, the notion of a broad, instinctive female solidarity was brutally exposed as myth: open misogyny in word, demeanour and the shape of a dozen sexual assault allegations deterred only a minority of women voters.
But now that we are in the grip of strongman politics, it is impossible to give up on the notion of womens politics. We face a gender equality crisis. The sharp end of this is that any authoritarian politician, from President Trump to Ukips Paul Nuttall, tends to be anti-abortion, having correctly identified that the best way to dominate a woman is to take away her choice of when to be a mother. But thats just the beginning: big daddy politics seeks no consensus, brooks no resistance, acknowledges no pluralism. We no longer have the luxury of time, which means ditching nuanced debate in favour of action. But action how?
Already Trumps inauguration has generated one response, the thing people do when they must do something but dont know what: they take to the streets. Todays Womens March on Washington, planned by a woman named Bob Bland, references both the March on Washington of 1963 and the Million Woman March on Philadelphia in 1997; a UK version is also taking place in London.
When I spoke to the organiser, Emma McNally, a 47-year-old artist, I thought she was being evasive on the womens politics question. It wasnt evasion, she said, it was a resistance to oversimplification, which, she says infantilises us and makes us very malleable. If we know who we are, we know who we belong with, then we feel strong, we can act with certainty. In other words, you cant just meet the simplicity of the tough guy with the simplicity of the elemental woman.
Youll waste a lot of time if you get mired in a discussion of what womens values are cooperation, empathy, humanity, solidarity and whether or not one gender has a right to annex them. This is what Sophie Walker, leader of the new-ish Womens Equality Party (WEP), remembers of the unfeminist 90s. We were always being diverted into a conversation about what feminism was. We couldnt ever get to the point of what a feminist does, because we had to spend all that time talking about what one looks like. The challenge now, she says, is to look at all politics through the lens of gender, because thats the only way were going to build a country that functions properly, in which everybody is seen and everybody is heard.

Twenty-one years ago, a series of postcards appeared in the Body Shop, which in those days wasnt a way to kill time in a station, but rather the embodiment of progressive consumerism. Its founder, Anita Roddick, was a feminist and an environmentalist who, with activists Bernadette Vallely, Sue Tibballs and others, asked an open-ended question: what do women want?
Their methodology was not dissimilar to Shere Hites 1976 report on female sexuality: you could be anonymous or not, and the sample was whoever replies. The flaws in this approach basically, that it preselected women who could afford to arse about in the Body Shop, and could also afford a stamp have been exhaustively pointed out. The fact is, with 6,000 replies, containing 46,000 suggestions, it remains the biggest independent survey of women ever undertaken in the UK. At the end of 2015, Tibballs and others launched it again, and their What Women Want 2.0 is still in train; the Womens Equality party has been collecting some of the responses while canvassing.
I worked on the original report, in a very peripheral capacity, and not for the right reasons (I was chasing a guy; it was quite circuitous, but it worked). I didnt believe in the report, not at all: the language felt soft and victimy; it was all about childcare and maternity leave, which is not at all interesting when you havent got children; and violence against women, which is of course! vitally important, but couldnt harness or accommodate the politics of optimism that prevailed at the time. I was waiting for a world in which children werent a womens issue, given that half the bloody things are male (and half of the making is done by men). A recurring demand for a healthy planet and respect for our planetary resources seemed to imply that women, by our very natures, cared more about the future. Elsewhere in the report, a National Health Service with proper funding got rolled into support for positive and alternative health, as if socialising medicine and believing in homeopathy were one and the same.
I wasnt the only sceptic: famously, the 1990s saw a dip in the popularity of feminism. At the Evening Standard newspaper, where I then worked, it was not unusual to get letters from readers saying, Yes, I agree with equal pay and abortion rights. But would I call myself a feminist? No thanks!

Last October, at the south London office of the Womens Equality party, members of the What Women Want team sat down with party staff to compare the original 1996 responses with todays, and ask whats changed in 20 years. I expected to hear about newfangled concerns. Cybercrime, perhaps, or polyamory.
In fact, most things havent changed, and those that have have changed for the worse. Women still want decent childcare and equal wages, but now they also want to be able to afford the rent; they still want to feel safe in public spaces, but now they would also like, if you please, not to get death threats every time they go online and give a view; they still want environmental sustainability to come before profit, but global solidarity has largely slipped out of the language (though there are positive signs that its back again: the recent threat to limit abortion rights in Poland sparked the Black Umbrellas protests across Europe).
In the 90s, women talked a lot about what they wanted from their boyfriends and partners: sometimes help with the chores, sometimes sex, sometimes recognition. Now, theres plenty about men en masse, how they should be educated about rape and consent; but in terms of the relationships that build their identity, women talk only about their children. This seems completely obvious to the women I speak to in their 20s. It would be so out of fashion now to hinge my identity as a feminist on my relationship with my partner, says Priscilla Mensah, members officer for the WEP. Hannah Peaker, the WEPs chief of staff, recalls one poignant response that struck her: One woman talking about the disappointment that moment, either when children come along, or youre trying to buy a house, when you realise that equality wasnt real, when you see how sexist things are underneath.
Peaker is savage on the way the rise of freelance work has impacted women. Theres been this really clever branding around women entrepreneurs. But if you look at the data, these are women who have been driven to working for themselves because they couldnt get the flexibility they needed. Theyre just doing the same jobs with no rights, no benefits, no maternity leave.
Pensions have about equal prominence in the original report and today, except that then the problem was that the system was based on the male-breadwinner model, and divorced pensioners lost out; now, the 2011 Pensions Act (which brought womens pensionable age into line with mens) means that all women born in the 1950s lose out. The responses were more or less exactly the same, almost word for word: Ive worked 44 years, and its completely unfair, says Mensah. There was a real sense of injustice. One cannot help wondering whether, if women pushing 60 were as large a part of the body politic as men, this change would have been sprung on them so blithely.
One striking similarity between the 90s and now is the complaints about media representation: the invisibility of older women; objectification; women described according to their looks rather than their achievements. There is no perceptible difference in the importance women place on safety from harassment, from violence although two decades ago there was more discussion around international security, the threat of war, the nuclear threat. Im struck, Tibballs says, by how safety is still such a big thing. Peaker tells us she has spoken to women, while campaigning, who say they probably spend about an hour extra a day planning around safety, without even thinking about it. One woman talked about it as a tax, the way she would have to get a taxi after 11pm, to avoid the walk home, or join a gym, because she couldnt run through a park in the winter.
Its such a foreign issue to men, says publicist Will Hill, who has been involved in the new survey. I did a focus group with young teenage girls in Brighton, asking what they wanted. I was expecting better access to music, tech, all that. And they all said, Street lighting.

Alison Shergold was one of the original respondents, and at the time a fundraiser for Rape Crisis London: in 1996, she wanted statutory funding bodies for rape crisis centres throughout the UK. Now, she works in an upmarket commercial estate agent and says ruefully, Ive sold my soul to the corporate beast. She resists the urge to generalise about anything. I was in a lesbian relationship when I did the first survey, and my girlfriend was a separatist, very anti-men. I wasnt: I know some lovely men and some bitch women. Some things have got better, she thinks; others not. I dont think any of the goals were achieved. [Rape] conviction rates havent changed, or preventing it. I dont even want to change the world any more; I just want violence against women to stop, violence against everybody.
The projects cofounder Tibballs, meanwhile, takes a Kipling-esque approach to triumph and disaster, describing success and abject failure with the same cheerful straightforwardness. There is something intellectually wholesome, tireless and timeless about her, like a lady poet of the 30s or a Victorian explorer. The job that the project did, 20 years ago, was that it made it absolutely clear that you cannot, as a political party, not have a position on women and equality. Childcare wasnt in a single manifesto it wasnt part of the conversation. We put it on the agenda. And yet, she counters herself, Where the hell are we?
***
Perhaps we shouldnt be defining womens issues or perspectives, but rather highlighting those that are distinctively male. For instance, since the financial crash of 2008, there has been a political fetish for hard work. Families are legitimised by the prefix hard-working; immigrants divided into net contributors to the taxing state, or beneficiaries of it. Citizens are weighed by their economic activity, with moral disapprobation attached to those who are inactive.
This is nonsensical, since we all know that everyone is economically inactive for some part of their lives, and often youre working a lot harder when youre not being paid (childcare in your prime; volunteering in retirement; caring when there is nobody else to care). Often that work brings more to society than its cash equivalent. Practically speaking, these are political or economic conditions that hit women in a particular way; to respond to them as individuals rather than as a group is foolish like a thousand atomised complaints about pollution from people who all live on the same A-road.
It would be remiss to ignore conventional politics in this. I asked the Labour MP Margaret Hodge how she thinks womens politics have changed during her near 25 years in Westminster. She related an argument shed had recently with Harriet Harman about whether Theresa May is better or worse than Margaret Thatcher. May has done some good stuff, stuff that doesnt really impinge on her, like [tackling] FGM, Hodge says. It doesnt cost her very much, politically, but I dont think Mrs T would have done it. Is a female prime minister who takes FGM seriously, but waves through an austerity programme that devastates more women than men better than one who actively avoids any solidarity with her sex?
If, as Hodge maintains, the Trump-Clinton contest showed that politicians always tend to have gender-specific approaches to their politics, this becomes like a puzzle: is it always better to have one woman than no women, regardless of whether she fights for women? Or is politics like a BBC panel show: one woman, described as a minimum, is functionally a maximum? A non-feminist woman is currently occupying a space that would be better filled, for women generally, by someone who went in to bat for us.
How does Hodge feel about the use of the word feminism? Im delighted that feminism is back. Ive called myself a feminist throughout my career when it was fashionable, when it was deeply unfashionable. Women over 35 identify themselves to one another this way, a shibboleth of authenticity, like loving the Pixies before they were cool: its all very well being a feminist today, but where were you in the 90s?
My own idiosyncratic political position in the 90s was nothing of the sort, but the meeting of two frontiers, which squeezed the feminist space until its pips squeaked. On the one hand, there was the overhang of Thatcherism; it was an ethos in which, as Hodge says, you proved your brilliance as a woman by beating men on their own terms. To raise womens issues was akin to pleading weakness. On the other, there was the 80s residue of career women who had toughed it out, either forgoing having children or returning to work after 10 days maternity leave; they were genuinely scornful of that side of the equality agenda. Hodge remembers terrible resentment against any concessions on childcare or maternity leave. They didnt want to see these changes: they felt theyd made these sacrifices, and why should we have it all? It was an era when solidarity itself had fallen out of fashion: and without it, what bonded women? Hoovering and childbirth? No, thanks!

Thinking about it now, I am beset by a sense of failure. I ceded the language of solidarity in favour of individual rights. I took no pride in the womens movement and its history, and lost that organisational muscle memory. I was happy to argue the toss about whether environmentalism and childcare were female in essence, rather than saying, Who are you people who think profit is more important than the planet? Who thinks childcare isnt a group effort?
Meanwhile, this is the politics that was developing in tandem: the hyper-masculinist language of self-interest, tough talk, militarism, competitiveness and control, all now considered normal. The essential cooperative qualities that any society needs to be halfway functioning are currently considered not only unrealistic but wishy-washy, pass and rather niche. But I do not feel downhearted: this situation cant last because it is just too stupid.
I was looking in the wrong place for the value of the idea. It was never meant to be a coherent programme of female-friendly actions, to which all right-thinking women would subscribe. It may be that there is no such thing as a womens issue but still, on any given subject, there is always a distinct womens perspective, without which you will never meaningfully understand it. Feminism is always in the detail, in each granular answer, in every individual woman.
Having female leaders is clearly useful. But a woman at the top can never, even with feminist bona fides up the wazoo, bring the complete perspective of her gender. So much of this is about power: how a shrinking state throws its burdens back on to individuals; how those individuals are usually women; how this is ignored by the language of competition and self-interest.
Clinton would have been better for women than Trump, merely by maintaining Obamacare and not redistributing wealth upwards; but not as good as Bernie Sanders, with his more coherent vision for empowering the dispossessed. May is probably no better or worse for women than Cameron was, although her predecessor might have worked harder to keep an on-the-record misogynist (Philip Davies MP) off the committee for women and equalities. Angela Merkel is less good for her gender than Nicola Sturgeon, who takes a keener interest in low wages and the systems that create them.
In the end, all these leaders are way points, not end points. To wish they were better, gutsier, more harmonious feminists is a needless distraction: far better to wish them part of a bigger choir.

South Park Has a Donald Trump Problem
The President Trump maniacs who reside on The_Donald subreddit rejoiced this week in response to some big bulletin about South Park ‘ s upcoming 21 st season. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times , Trey Parker was indicated that he and his co-creator Matt Stone will be laying off the Trump jokes.
” We fell into the same trap that Saturday Night Live fell into, where it was like,’ Dude, we’re just becoming CNN now ,'” Parker replied.” We’re becoming:’ Tune in to realize what we’re going to say about Trump .’ Matt and I hated it but we got stuck in it somehow .” He computed,” We possibly could put up billboards –‘ Look what we’re going to do to Trump next week !’ — and get crazy ratings. But I time don’t care .”
” TREY PARKER AND MATT STONE UNDERSTAND WHAT CNN AND MSM CANT ABOUT TRUMP! South Park to no longer places great importance on Trump in next season and create real humor again !” one Reddit post ejaculated.” South Park bends the knee on their fake-news-fueled portrait of President Trump ,” another speak. Lots of same posts followed.
This outsized enthusiasm revealed the uncomfortable overlap between the same 18 -3 4-year-old males who facilitate drive South Park ‘ s stellar ratings and those who voted for Trump in 2016. While Parker and Stone may very well find Trump-based irony “boring,” they too likely is understood that if they double-faced down on the anti-Trump drill, they will turn off many of their most loyal viewers.
