Reverend X Unmasked

Yeah, I kinda dropped the whole paranoid hacker cover and started being me, even here. And who am I? A bitch? An asshole? Well, you are both right... Tranny Anti-corporate, conspiracy nut. Am I proud of what I am?


Pride? Fuck pride...

Self esteem is an individuals sense of personal value. This value is calculated by adding the persons strengths, charms, weaknesses and honor and dividing that sum by the persons awareness of them. It is subjective algebra and X is a daily struggle to maintain. Many individuals find the struggle to be too hard. But with out self esteem to remind them that they truly do deserve to be alive, those who give up on their internal struggle look outside of themselves for that affirmation. They methadone their need for validation with Pride.

Pride is a negative emotion. In the absence of self esteem, an individual will associate themselves with a grouping of others who share some similar traits.i.e. belief system, skin tone, sexual preference, regional birth. etc. Surround yourself with others who have something in common with you, then have everyone pat each other on the back for having this prerequisite trait and what do you get? A false confidence and generally undeserved feelings of worth. The irony is that the common trait binding each group... The unifying similarity celebrated and hailed by the pride group, almost never owes it's attachment to the individual from any choice, action, or accomplishment of the individual. White pride, black pride, gay pride, national pride... I had nothing to do with my birth place, skin color, nationality or romantic attraction tendencies. But if you tell me that I am brave, strong or special because of those traits and you tell me that often and no one says anything to the contrary... I might start to believe I am worth more than someone who has different traits.

Personally, if you follow me around and compliment me on anything repeatedly, I am gonna get the hell away from you. Or more likely, I am going to mock you. Taunt you. Bully you and verbally cut the false confidence out of you like a cancer. I know a lot of people who think I am an evil bitch for the way I treat some people and the things I say. They are probably right. Al I know is that if I was proud of me being something I had no choice in being, or encouraged by numbers and general opinion rather than validity... Then somebody had better come up and friggin ruin my whole parade. Slap me back down to Earth and open my eyes to myself and you better do it fast and hard. Hurt my feelings, please!

I'd always rather be called an idiot and corrected when wrong than be an idiot. I truly believe I deserve to be here and deserve my life because I have worked for it and learned how to keep it.

My point... and I have one. Lol. I am not special because I am a tranny. I am not brave because I can't conform to gender types that I do not have to conform to. I'll take some credit for the way I look, cuz that ain't easy to pull off. I would love to eat a meal some day... Just can't and still wear that skirt. So I sacrafice and struggle. That is earned. The kudos for being born different? Keep em. We are all different.
Just not unique. The extra rights and protections society has deemed I need? Hate crime legislation? Nope. Don't want it. Don't need it. Punishing someone more than another for the same crime and basing that increase in punishment solely on their disimilarity to me? You realize that justifying the extending of a prison sentence based solely on physical traits is the exact same logic that let indentured servitude grow into the slave trade? Imagine that dumb ass recursive loop. Oppression followed by affirmative action which advances one group over the other continually until the other is completely oppressed followed by affirmative action for them to the point that... See?

How bout equality and tolerance. And if I hate you but am not trying to hurt you... that means I am tolerating you. If you ain't on fire, but we ain't friends? That is freedom and justice for all!! Tolerance means letting another individual have life. Tolerance does not including making their life easy, happy, fruitful or rewarding. It just means not taking it.

what I am up to at the moment...

Looking for an illustrator.. Asap.

Now to explain everything. My name is Andi West. I am the Executive Producer of Project 912. 912 is the world's first "Open Source, omni media sci fi franchise". I put that in quotes cuz we totally made up the description for what we are doing. We wouldn't have had to, but it has never been done before. I wanted to just call the whole thing "Nerdvana", but some of the nerds got all huffy and I can not watch grown men OD on albuterol while angrily fiddling with their pda's. So I gave in and we made up the "open source.. etc etc". Oh, I tangent a lot... sorry.

What Project 912 is right now...
9 websites
2 social networks
3 youtube pages
2 myspace profiles
1 facebook profile
3 blogger sites
a 10 episode web series
a ton of independent viral vids
an anthology of short stories
2 comic book series, one of which is desperately in need of an illustrator since mine went and got himself perished.
a couple film crews
a few celebrities
one brilliant Producer
one crazy tranny web designer

That about sums it up...

What Project 912 will be shortly after launching in mid July

A bi weekly webseries
2 comic book lines
an infinitely expanding fan created story world made up of viewer submitted vids, stories, pictures and whatever else anyone can think of.
An online RPG that runs concurrently with an ever growing wiki based plot bible and real world current events. The game will be free to play and have the possibility of earning a real money income if you are one of the top players. The game is free to play, but weapons, equipment and hirelings will cost $. the weapons and equipment will be purchasable via a buy in credit economy. Hirelings will be actual player characters. There will be no NPC's. As players gain power and wealth, they will be able to interact financially with each other. Either consensually as in hiring for services or non consensually as in stealing from, seizing, raiding and killing for stuff. The 912 Cyber World consists of 2 groups, the Human Resistance and the System. The System controls the government. The Resistance has the initiative. Neither side is forced to go against only the other group, There can be in fighting, backstabbing and all sorts of glorious scandal activity.

Ok, I don't know if that all makes any sense. The concept is so vast that I don't quite have a grasp on the whole thing yet and I have been working on this for a year as the entire IT department. To see the groundwork I have laid on the web, start at http://project912.com That is the Webseries page which will broadcast the episodes. Follow the cell phone/breadcrumb trail puzzle thingy through
http://project912.com
http://hygeapharma.com
http://demtechfoods.com
http://kinkaidgroup.com
http://wearethesystem.net
http://hancockworldwide.com
http://infinitycable.com
and finally to
http://project912.net

That is the main cyber world. The trail leaves out
http://theyliveamong.us
http://project912.info
and all the my-you-face-twit crap.

OK, so if u made it through all of that and looked at the attached promo poster for the comic. and you are interested in either helping me finish this one, working on the next 5 in the series or both, get back to me. I will then forward you the completed parts of the #1 issue, the story line and the storyboards of what is still needed. And we can talk pay. k?

Sincerely,
Andi West

PS, We are also in negotiations for a TV series and possible Motion Picture deal. We seriously need to to learn how to set limits, but since that prolly won't happen any time soon, we are going for the brass ring anywhere we think there might be one!

Former Detainees turn to Terrorism.. NFS!!

OK, so CNN's top story is that "Former Gitmo Detainees are Turning to Terrorism." Well, the key word in the sentence is "Turning", not "Returning". If you kidnap me. Torture me. Then release me to my home country, which is still occupied by your military. Guess what.. I am gonna hurt you. I am not going to threaten you or try to scare you. I will be your killer. I will not, therefore be a terrorist. So which Gitmo detainees have become terrorists? Well.. Errr...Of course, the examples CNN gives are of Newly recruited Taliban soldiers. A military force, recognized and credentialed. Hell, CNN even states that one of the "Terrorists" had his Taliban paperwork on him and that the other was an officer. Those are soldiers. Not terrorists.

Other than that basic fact of life and those blatantly ignored definitions, I'd like to say, if we had imprisoned combatants rather than farmers the Pakistanis sold us for $5k a head, this would not be happening. For the combatants... If they were treated as prisoners of war in the first place, this would not be happening because they would be held until the War was over. Hence there would no longer be US forces to attack in Afghanistan. Also, they would have had rights from day one. They would not have been tortured. Etc, etc... Does this make sense to anyone?

Even as F'd up as war is, it has rules. They are there for a reason. Ignoring those rules is criminal and fucking stupid!!! Americans cheered when Bush outspokenly violated those rules. You that cheered.... this is all on you. Friggin morons.

I like this..

Gee, this is sooo surprising!

Bloggers charge 'Tea Party' anti-stimulus protests are corporate front

Muriel Kane Published: Sunday March 1, 2009

UPDATE (at bottom): Playboy's story apparently taken down.

Update: I stashed a copy of the original article here

When a few hundred protesters showed up in each of some 30 or 40 cities nationwide on Friday to object to President Obama's stimulus plan, they claimed that the well-coordinated protests had arisen spontaneously in response to a tirade against mortgage bailouts, delivered just over a week earlier, on February 19, by CNBC's Rick Santelli.

Conservative columnist Michelle Malkin enthusiastically called the "Tea Party" protests "a fledgling grassroot movement" and some of the protesters even described themselves as the vanguard of a "new conservative counterculture." Those claims naturally aroused a certain amount of skepticism, since similar activities in the past have proven to be not genuine grassroots activity but so-called corporate "astroturf."

Now fresh revelations suggest that the skepticism may be well-placed. Mark Ames and Yasha Levine allege in their blog at Playboy.com that the protests were planned well in advance, coordinated by old-line anti-tax organizations, and funded by right-wing corporate interests.

"What hasn’t been reported until now is evidence linking Santelli’s 'tea party' rant with some very familiar names in the Republican rightwing machine," they write, "from PR operatives who specialize in imitation-grassroots PR campaigns (called 'astroturfing') to bigwig politicians and notorious billionaire funders. As veteran Russia reporters, both of us spent years watching the Kremlin use fake grassroots movements to influence and control the political landscape. To us, the uncanny speed and direction the movement took and the players involved in promoting it had a strangely forced quality to it. If it seemed scripted, that's because it was."

As described by Ames and Levine, Santelli's call for a "tea party" in Chicago next summer was quickly picked up by a website called ChicagoTeaParty.com and spread from there to the Drudge Report. However, the ChicagoTeaParty.com domain is not new. It was registered last summer by the producer of a right-wing radio show in Chicago and, the writers allege, is one of several tied to the anti-tax group FreedomWorks, which is among the sponsors of the current protests.

FreedomWorks is the latest incarnation of an organization formerly known as Citizens for a Sound Economy, which was founded in 1984 "to anonymously leverage corporate contributions into debates on public policy." CSE had close ties to Koch Industries and became one of the major recipients of grant money from conservative foundations and major corporations such as Exxon, Philip Morris, and General Motors.

In 2003, CSE's affiliate, the Citizens for a Strong Economy Foundation, split off and renamed itself Americans for Prosperity. (That group is also a sponsor of the current protests.) CSE itself merged the following year with Empower America -- another fake grassroots group created by Republican Party insiders to promote conservative candidates -- and formed FreedomWorks.

Posters at Democratic Underground have found that a number of anti-bailout and anti-stimulus groups are hosted by the dedicated servers of Citizens for a Sound Economy. In addition to cse.org, empoweramerica.org, and freedomworks.com, those servers also host such domains as angryrenter.com (which was registered in March 2008 to oppose bailouts for mortgage holders), destimulus.com, earmarkpledge.com, nowallstreetbailout.com, and usteaparty.com.

Any connection ChicagoTeaParty.com may have to this network is not clear, since it is not among the domains hosted on the CSE servers. However, the involvement of FreedomWorks in the protests and the appearance of the apparently related domain "usteaparty.com" suggest that those seeking the origin of the "Tea Party" protests in this area may be on the right track.

UPDATE:

Playboy has apparently taken down its story. The Atlantic's Megan McArdle has the full text.

The link between Santelli and the so-called astroturfing groups "is potentially libelous, which is, I assume, why the article disappeared this morning," wrote McArdle.

"If I were Santelli, I'd sue. Aside from the fact that I have absolutely no reason to question Santelli's sincerity, I find it pretty hard to believe that any private group would be willing to front enough money to make it worth a television correspondent's while to risk all his future salary payments."

Republican blogger/pundit Michelle Malkin laid down covering fire for the "tea parties," lampooning their alleged ties to Santelli.

"The wheels of the 'Tea Party' movement had already been set in motion by folks who probably had never heard of Santelli — let alone the Koch Foundation — when they decided to take to the streets," she wrote, after calling reporters Mark Ames and Yasha Levine, who authored Playboy's piece, "loons."

A phone call to Playboy media relations went unreturned late Monday.

Join The Resistance

OK, for the final time.. How the system works.

Throughout history, humanity has suffered incredible injustices and abuse from its governments and leaders. The powerful crave more power. The Rich crave more wealth. The people take it on the chin, because they think that that is what they are supposed to do. Eventually the status quo becomes unlivable. The people stand up, go find their leaders, go all Clive Barker on the elite and start the whole cycle over again.

Example. The Bourbon Dynasty of France.. circa 1600's. The Bourbon kings amassed the wealth of the Nation into their pockets, partied their asses off and impressed the other European blue bloods with lavish parties. They lit up their hills and reveled while the starving masses starved below. Eventually, the masses had enough and the next day, they had to invent a new device to kill the aristocracy fast enough.

Skip to the present. American ingenuity has solved the "Easy Target" problem of the Bourbons. Instead of one group taking the blame for the economic imbalance, have a two-party system. Make sure to polarize the two groups beyond any rational thought, that way the people on each side will have to stay way the fuck away from the people on the other side. As long as you ca keep 40% of the population spitting insults at the the other side , there will never be enough cohesion to allow for revolution. And don't lose any sleep over the 20% who have enough common sense to stay independent. Both sides hate them.

If you don't believe me, look into the support and financial backing of any politician. They are all paid equally by the same groups. Big Pharma, Oil, HMO's etc... "They are as rich in English title as Scottish ones. Why would they risk that to fight for their country?" -Edward the Longshanks from the Movie "Braveheart".

I saw a game plan that actually made sense the other day.. Fire the Fed and the IRS. Institute a flat tax. Mandatory public funding of all elections. Total transparency of gifts and ifluence. Limit the President to one 6 year term. Limit Congress and the Senate to two terms each. Judicial Appointments to be reviewed by the Public, amd Judicial terms beung indefinite, but not for life. Make a voter ballot style removal procedure. I would add, reinstatement of the 7-7-7 law. Break up the media monopoly. End the War on Drugs. Retract the Hanes Act. Allow Community WI-FI Programs to launch by removing corporate injunctions of Taxpayer benefits for the systems they already paid for.. etc etc..

This is by no means an exhaustive list, but it would be a good start.

Average Joe, on March 27th, 2009 at 2:25 am Said:

“The government, made up of our elected representatives, the people we chose to represent our interests in Washington, D.C., and our various state and local government centers, has become a political machine operating on the principal that if something is popular, then it’s OK. This “government by popularity poll” has gotten us into the mess we’re in today, and doesn’t seem capable of getting us out of it.”

Not trying to split hairs here… but the popularity debacle of which you speak is called “democracy” in lay man’s terms. The Greeks experimented with it a few thousand years ago and discarded it as a valid form of government once they realized that; “Given the opportunity, the empowered people would invariably vote to give themselves the sum of the treasury.”

That being said.. and of course, being evidenced by recent events… What do you suggest as a solution? I am sincerely interested in your answer and am not here facetiously.

I anxiously await your response.

Side note... As was once told to me by a wise man....

"It is easy to start a reform movement. Everything sucks. No one likes that. Point out the vague negative effects of which the majority believe they are experiencing and you can hook them all in the short term. In the long term you fail, because wiser men than me have been trying, in vain, to solve those problems since the beginning of human history. Yeah, its all fucked up.
We know that. We just don't know how to fix it." -Lee Fuller (R) Texas
