controversies

It seems every time one racially-charged incident ends, a gender or religious controversy takes its place; Ruminate on the issues dividing our nation and world.

Amy Cooper Is A Victim
Well, another day, another controversy involving race revolving around a short video clip that is being used as unquestioned proof of how terribly racist people can be. This time around, we have a tale of two unrelated Cooper's: Amy and Christian.

The PR of the Dominic Cummings Story
Before I begin, I want to make it clear that this blog is not there to argue specifically about ins and outs of the situation but instead the PR operations around it. This article will look at how the Government/No 10 Downing Street, media, Boris Johnson specifically and the Police have all mounted their public relations.

Nicole Junkermann 3.0: Model or Mossad? Carbyne911 & their CoVid App, World 3.0, & How to Censor News!
Nicole Junkermann is not just a hot shot angel investor and business woman. She is so much more than just that. But if it was up to the Countess Brachetti Peretti - as she is also titled - you wouldn’t know anything about her past. She is in almost complete control of her public image. However, Junkermann almost lost the ability to dictate the narrative virtually overnight as a result of my first article which exposed her links to Jeffrey Epstein and members of Israeli Intelligence, such as 10th Israeli Prime Minister, Epstein’s close friend and IDF poster boy, Ehud Barak.

Postcards From a Pandemic, Part Six: Bad Times for Little Hitlers
If there’s one group of people who’ve flourished in the global pandemic, it’s the judgy among us. I use the term “Little Hitlers,” an English pejorative for those who never seem happy unless they are pointing out the flaws in others’ behaviour, and making constant suggestions, however unwanted, for the self-improvement of their neighbours.

Leave Abortion Alone
I really don't understand how we're still having issues with the legalisation of abortions. At this point, the information out there should be enough to open people's eyes. Abortions aren't evil, and should be available for everyone. For many people, they're the absolute best option for their situation. Abortions are an important part of our modern society, and they're here to stay. There's a long list of arguments against abortions being legal, and I want to address a few of them.

Protecting the most Vulnerable
Abortion; the violent act of killing of an unborn baby whilst still in the womb. Under no circumstances should a child ever be killed, and for abortion to be normalised as a 'right'.

It's a Hard-Knock (Black) Life
The lights in the room darkened and the Hollywood classic, “It’s A Hard-Knock Life” began to fill the silence, and a young girl named Annie appeared on the screen. With her curly hair and little red dress, Jamie Foxx’s remake of the Hollywood classic, Annie, hit the big screen again, but the new twist was that the actress playing the orphan was black. This field-trip made me excited to see a major blockbuster featuring an actress I can relate to. As the opening scene began to roll, I became absorbed into Annie’s fictional world, but my trance suddenly broke when a classmate named Amelia uttered, “I’m not trying to be racist or anything but why do black people steal everything?” The blood drained from my face as I craned my head to stare at her porcelain skin, but was unable to say anything as she giggled at herself in approval of her own words. While the film continued to play on screen, my mind unlatched its own reel and memories from history class began to project in my thoughts. Suddenly, chains, diseases, and colonialism of the transatlantic slave trade began to flash in my mind, and the images quickly morphed into blackface, police brutality, and the death of Tupac Shakur.
