This qualifies as a "sick burn", a term I first heard on Twitter (and then I got kicked off the platform). Ricky Gervais played the role of the comedian at the Golden Globes, in the traditional sense. It is the comedian's job, as Owen Benjamin repeatedly tells everyone, to skewer and mock Sacred Cows. Ricky Gervais decided to let it fly at the Golden Globes with his opening monologue:
"Hello and welcome to the 77th annual Golden Globe Awards, live from the Beverly Hilton Hotel here in Los Angeles. I'm Ricky Gervais, thank you.
You'll be pleased to know this is the last time I'm hosting these awards, so I don't care anymore. I'm joking. I never did. I'm joking, I never did. NBC clearly don't care either — fifth time. I mean, Kevin Hart was fired from the Oscars for some offensive tweets — hello?
Lucky for me, the Hollywood Foreign Press can barely speak English and they've no idea what Twitter is, so I got offered this gig by fax. Let's go out with a bang, let's have a laugh at your expense. Remember, they're just jokes. We're all gonna die soon and there's no sequel, so remember that.
But you all look lovely all dolled up. You came here in your limos. I came here in a limo tonight and the license plate was made by Felicity Huffman. No, shush. It's her daughter I feel sorry for. OK? That must be the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to her. And her dad was in Wild Hogs.
Lots of big celebrities here tonight. Legends. Icons. This table alone — Al Pacino, Robert DeNiro … Baby Yoda. Oh, that's Joe Pesci, sorry. I love you man. Don't have me whacked.
But tonight isn't just about the people in front of the camera. In this room are some of the most important TV and film executives in the world. People from every background. They all have one thing in common: They're all terrified of Ronan Farrow. He's coming for ya.
Talking of all you perverts, it was a big year for pedophile movies. Surviving R. Kelly, Leaving Neverland, Two Popes. Shut up. Shut up. I don't care. I don't care.
Many talented people of color were snubbed in major categories. Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about that. Hollywood Foreign press are all very racist. Fifth time. So. We were going to do an In-Memoriam this year, but when I saw the list of people who died, it wasn't diverse enough. No, it was mostly white people and I thought, nah, not on my watch. Maybe next year. Let's see what happens.
No one cares about movies anymore. No one goes to cinema, no one really watches network TV.Everyone is watching Netflix. This show should just be me coming out, going, 'Well done Netflix. You win everything. Good night.' But no, we got to drag it out for three hours.
You could binge-watch the entire first season of Afterlife instead of watching this show. That's a show about a man who wants to kill himself cause his wife dies of cancer and it's still more fun than this. Spoiler alert, season two is on the way so in the end he obviously didn't kill himself. Just like Jeffrey Epstein. Shut up. I know he's your friend but I don't care.
Seriously, most films are awful. Lazy. Remakes, sequels. I've heard a rumor there might be a sequel to Sophie's Choice. I mean, that would just be Meryl just going, 'Well, it's gotta be this one then.'
All the best actors have jumped to Netflix, HBO. And the actors who just do Hollywood movies now do fantasy-adventure nonsense. They wear masks and capes and really tight costumes. Their job isn't acting anymore. It's going to the gym twice a day and taking steroids, really. Have we got an award for most ripped junky? No point, we'd know who'd win that.
Martin Scorsese made the news for his controversial comments about the Marvel franchise. He said they're not real cinema and they remind him about theme parks. I agree. Although I don't know what he's doing hanging around theme parks. He's not big enough to go on the rides. He's tiny.
The Irishman was amazing. It was amazing. It was great. Long, but amazing. It wasn't the only epic movie. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, nearly three hours long. Leonardo DiCaprio attended the premiere and by the end his date was too old for him. Even Prince Andrew was like, 'Come on, Leo, mate.You're nearly 50-something.'
The world got to see James Corden as a fat p****. He was also in the movie Cats. No one saw that movie. And the reviews, shocking. I saw one that said, 'This is the worst thing to happen to cats since dogs.' But Dame Judi Dench defended the film saying it was the role she was born to play because she loves nothing better than plunking herself down on the carpet, lifting her leg and licking her [expletive]. (Coughs) Hairball. She's old-school.
It's the last time, who cares? Apple roared into the TV game with The Morning Show, a superb drama about the importance of dignity and doing the right thing, made by a company that runs sweatshops in China. Well, you say you're woke but the companies you work for in China — unbelievable. Apple, Amazon, Disney. If ISIS started a streaming service you'd call your agent, wouldn't you?
So if you do win an award tonight, don't use it as a platform to make a political speech. You're in no position to lecture the public about anything. You know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg.
So if you win, come up, accept your little award, thank your agent, and your God and f*** off, OK? It's already three hours long. Right, let's do the first award."
---------
Greta, Hypocrisy, Epstein, Farrow - the hard shots are good ones. There were some serious sacred cows that got obliterated with that monologue. Pockets of the Future has the best take on the speech and the reactions. Check it out:

Iran and The Reaction
I'm not sure the Deep State will get the buy in they're used to getting.
20 years ago, they were able to get the American people to buy into any foreign military action imaginable, simply by saying how scary and threatening the people over there were. It sounds silly now, but Sean Hannity was able to repeat "they hate us for our freedoms" and get swaths of the population to wave the foam finger and shout "America #1" as troops rolled into the Middle East.
The reactions I'm seeing lead me to believe that things are changing on the Forever War front.
In the Corporate Media, Fox's biggest draw Tucker Carlson gave the case for NOT going to war with Iran. Remember, Fox was one of the channels that pushed for war in the Middle East under the W. Bush regime. They worked hard to shape the American mind, and to get it to think the way the Deep State wanted.
Not so much anymore:
At the end of the 3 minute clip Carlson lets you know that the threats that were stopped were not on American soil. This is the key. Easily digestible bits of information like that were always ignored previously. The fact that you have a talking head on Fox explaining this plainly proves that the Old Narrative isn't holding up. The second part is here. It is even harder hitting. I recommend you watch it.
Vox Day on his site isolated the money quote: "Before we enter into a single new war, there’s a criterion that ought to be met. Our leaders should explain to us how that conflict will make the United States richer and more secure. There are an awful lot of bad people in this world. We can’t kill them all. It’s not our job. Instead, our government exists to defend and promote the interests of American citizens. Period. That’s why we have a government. So, how has the killing of Soleimani done that? Maybe. No one in Washington has explained how."
Coming from a different angle, Black Twitter erupted in memery at the news of the Iranian drone strikes. The mockery is important because our Overlords hate being made fun of. You have to appreciate the open laughter and howling and lack of seriousness that Black Twitter has for the Rulers.
The #WWIII hashtag took off like a rocket, and showed how little regard the Fam has for those at the Top of the Pyramid:

The Teacher Race
The Washington Post, by this stage of the game, is good for not much more than a lens into Late Stage Collapse Clown World. As America is probably within a decade of some kind of crack up, the Post is worried about ... the race of teachers in America. Not only that, it feels that there are too many White Teachers.
The quote that got my attention is the one that perpetuates the same myth that has bounced around schools of education for the past 40 years, the myth that if the race of the teacher matches that of the student, it's "better". Here is Prof. Seth Gershenson explaining things: “Representation absolutely matters and it matters for … almost every educational outcome you can think of,” said Seth Gershenson, a public policy professor at American University. I checked Prof. Gershenson's CV. He has taught a total of 0 days at a public high school of any kind, let alone a public high school in the Bad Neighborhood.
I learned that this myth is patently false within the first month of teaching in the South Bronx in 1997. One of our Teacher Assistants lamented that there were not only too few Latino teachers, but that we didn't read Piri Thomas's Down These Mean Streets. Her belief was that students needed teachers and authors who look and sound like them.
None of that is true. The race of the teacher is completely irrelevant. Students want quality instruction, from someone with passion for the craft. Students, like everyone else, don't want their time wasted. The 'expert' quoted above is not only wrong, he's destructively wrong.
Only in race obsessed Corporate Media and Academia would a quote like this one pass the editor's desk: "A classmate, Sebastien Jean, 17, who is black and Hispanic, remembers that his elementary school teachers were all white, so he started acting what felt like white, absorbing what he called the “Caucasianness of it."
“I sort of lost my flavor,” he said.
That created tension with his mother. “I would go home and start talking about the weather and gas prices and my mom would be like, ‘Where did you get that from?’ ”
When they look back at Clown World, they'll see mindless anecdotes like the one above, and wonder how it all went so badly so quickly. Everyone knows that talking about the weather and gas prices is destructively White. The 'caucasianness' of it ... so terrible. Of course the obvious irony is that the Cloud People keep trying to bus more Black and Hispanic students into White neighborhoods. The Post seems unaware of the obvious contradiction. This is an example of The Narrative being maintained, even where there is obvious inconsistency.
Another piece of evidence archaeologists of the future will use is the picture above. The white liberal teacher with the glasses is the problem. She thinks she can help, but her paternalistic philosophy only harms students. She and Prof. G. continually promote these myths, with the help of the Washington Post. Despite the obvious failures of their idiotic race based philosophy and the system's collapse, they eternally beat the same drum.
As usual, the only people who lose in this toxic cauldron are the students.

2020 Vision - Begin the Year With Truth
Sometimes the media actually prints the truth. It's so rare, you have to catch it when it happens. I wasn't planning on this being the first post of 2020, but it is one of those instances that demands attention.
One of my best 'mental hooks' as a teacher is the grounding philosophy of 'everything you've been taught is wrong'. It works for me, students like it, and I provide evidence.
One of the Big Lies is that women want a nice guy. This is totally false. There is no evidence to prove this assertion. They want a guy who is bad. An exciting Bad Boy with a motorcycle, multiple other girlfriends, and a mean streak is the ideal guy for most of the women on earth. You'll never hear this the real world, so when it is voiced and printed it needs to be noticed.
This article in the International Paper of Record, The Sun, explains the real philosophy that women hold:

Here's the key quote, one that every man should memorize, as it is the distillation of the way things really are: "I married Mr Perfect anyway, but his ridiculous moral compass has come to be a bone of contention. Simply put, I’m bored of being married to a paragon of virtue."
The key word is 'bored'. This poor guy is 'nice',doing it right, and his wife is 'bored'. Fellas, every relationship book in the world won't serve you better than this one article. Memorize it.
Happy New Year, and - you're welcome.

Woke Takes Over
This 6,000 word article is the perfect take of the 'woke culture' taking over and destroying an institution. Ethical Culture Fieldston School will set you back $650,000 if you send your child there from Kindergarten through 12th grade. It was founded by Jewish people who were denied entry into the Elite schools of New York City's past. It is an expensive, exclusive, and safe bubble school for the NYC liberal Elite.
As the school followed the Ethos of "Social Justice", the SJW cancer that destroys everything in its path began to erode the culture, tradition, and honorable record of the school. The incident that has sparked outrage was when an invited speaker suggested that oppressed people can become the oppressors:
"The invited speaker was Kayum Ahmed, an employee of the Open Society Foundations and adjunct faculty member at Columbia University Law School.
Ahmed’s initial presentation at Fieldston went off without a hitch, according to multiple people who attended the talk. But then came the question and answer period. In a video of his response to a student’s query about South Africa, Ahmed explained his theory of patterns of trauma and oppression, and connected them to the experience of Jews during the Holocaust.
“Xenophobic attacks are a shameful part of South African history, but in some ways it reflects the fluidity between those who are victims becoming perpetrators,” Ahmed told the Fieldston students and faculty. “I use the same example in talking about the Holocaust. That Jews who suffered in the Holocaust and established the State of Israel today—they perpetuate violence against Palestinians that [is] unthinkable,” he opined."

That Jews who suffered in the Holocaust and established the State of Israel today—they perpetuate violence against Palestinians that [is] unthinkable,” he opined."
The author of the article and the parents of the Jewish students at Ethical Culture are angry. They feel that their oppressed past isn't taken as seriously as others': "Moreover, the Ahmed event was only the latest in a series of what a number of Jewish parents saw as problematic experiences for Jews at the school, which they said had been escalating since 2015. Each of these episodes, they claim, had been downplayed or ignored by school leadership—a reaction that those Jewish parents found particularly galling when compared to the attention given to similar incidents of bias against students of color, or other groups identifying by gender or ethnicity."
Notice the ubiquitous use of "problematic". That's code for 'we don't like it but we can't say anything because it ruins The Narrative we expect others to live by'.
Nowhere in the article is there evidence of anyone speaking out against the school hitching itself to the Social Justice bandwagon. The school administration, the parents, the Elite Liberal Class who attend the school are all for "Social Justice". Even the speaker was an employee of the Open Society Foundation, a Soros outfit that promotes the destruction of national borders and culture, particularly those of the Christian West. The lack of awareness and instrospection by the people in charge and the parents is astounding. The irony is rich, although seemingly not to the people involved.
When being a victim is considered the coin of the Realm, and you're afraid to excise SJW's from your operation, your organization is doomed. This is the Elite Private School version of Vox Day's Corporate Cancer.
Ethical Culture Fieldston is finished. Only the price tag and exclusivity will keep it on life support.

Richard Jewell
Younger readers won't know the name Richard Jewell, but the story of the man and what happened to him will sound familiar. Jewell saved lives as a security guard at the 96 olympics in Atlanta, but then, being a frumpy white guy, was pilloried by the press as a fraud. The "Intelligence Community" set him up as the fall guy and stereotyped him as it leaked fake information to the press.
The echoes today are loud: the Duke Lacrosse Hoax and the The Covington Catholic kids come to mind immediately.
Steve Sailer has reviewed the movie, and the reaction, which is always the important thing to look at, will tell you almost everything to know.

Sailer's review is a good one to use as a template for your own book or movie reviews. There's a mix of background information on Eastwood, the movie, the event, and the reaction. Read it carefully.
