Dick Cheney Tells us What we Already Know

Dick Cheney recently made some interesting comments in a speech he gave. Mr. Vice President decided to inform us of something we already know: that West Virginians are inbred hicks. Soylent Ape gives us the details on this revelation:

Soylent Ape
It happened Sunday at the National Press Club on Monday, Jun 2, where Cheney was congratulating the winners of the Gerald R. Ford Journalism Prizes for Distinguished Reporting on the Presidency. When responding to a reporter’s inquiry about his family tree, Cheney noted that he had relatives named “Cheney” in both his father’s and mother’s families.

To drive his pointless point home, Cheney made an attempt at “humor” (something a guy like Cheney shouldn’t be trying to do, anyway) which thoroughly pissed-many of the residents of a key state in the ‘08 Presidential race. The exact quote: “So I had Cheneys on both sides of the family and we don’t even live in West Virginia!” Quickly, Cheney jovially qualified his statement, saying “You can say these things when you’re not running for re-election.”

Personally, as much as I hate that mother fucker (get it?), I found his comments to be hilarious and pretty much spot on. It really hit close to home, too, because I have “Leviathans” on both sides of my family tree and my family is from West Virginia. I know it’s that way with a lot of people around here, too. I was amused, not offended by Cheney’s comments. What offends me is Cheney and Bush’s war.

Not everyone here sees this the way I do, though. People are freaking out over the veep’s remarks, Robert C. Byrd being one prominent whiner. Somehow, though, niether the West Virginian objectors, nor any in the news media have managed to see the irony behind the outrage:

You see, when Jeff Foxworthy comes to town, people will flock by the thousands and pay significant sums of money to hear the same damn thing! That’s right, Today’s outrage was yesterday’s comedy! What does this tell us, that this outpouring of indignation is fake, or that the whiners are hypocrites with double standards?

This West Virginian doesn’t know, I’ll leave it up to you fellers to figure out. All I know is that my cousin just got back and she is lookin’ mighty fine right now. Now, if you’ll excuse me…

PS: To not let the veep off scott free, I would like to note that his remarks show a bit of elitism towards his own party base - conservative southern Christians. But the Bush administration’s contempt for its own supporters has been known for a while, so that’s nothing new.

8th Grade Girl Strip Searched!

If you haven’t been paying attention to the news lately, a story I feel is of some significance has been aired. This will be especially interesting to you parents out there.

Here’s the deal: A 13 year old girl with an honor roll GPA and a completely clean disciplinary record was strip searched without her parents’ knowledge on the suspicion that she may be posessing… ibuprofen!

I don’t know what the fuck these idiots were thinking. I don’t know about you, but I’m completely pissed. I say this: whoever performed the strip search should be charged with child molestation, whoever ordered and/or supervised the search should be charged with aiding and abetting child molestation, and whatever administrative faculty knew and did not act against the search should be forced to resign.

All of the above should have their teaching licenses revoked, if they have them. They don’t deserve to set foot in another school. I’m surprised there hasn’t been more of an uproar over this. Absolutely outrageous!

Symptoms of Mental Illness? Cho’s Girlfriend Jelly and his Old Pal Vlad

[Explicit Content Warning]

After the identity of the gunman who perpetrated the Virginia Tech shootings was discovered, everyone began asking the obvious question, ‘why did he do it?’ It was notlong before it was apparent that Seung Cho, like basically every other school shooting perpetrator had a long history of mental illness and strange behavior.

I Just saw Some UFOs

I dunno, maybe this will ruin all vestiges of scientific credibility I’ve tried to create for myself, but I can’t help but post what just happened to me a little bit ago.

A couple of hours ago I got a call from an old high school buddy. We chatted it up for a while, and after I hung up, I stepped outside. It’s been fairly nice out, though a little windy. I start pacing around trying to rid myself of cabin fever, and reminiscing a bit about the good old days. There was a lot of cloud cover. Great sheets of cloud were being blown much faster than usual, rolling across the sky at a pretty quick pace. The moon wasn’t full, but it was on its way, and the night was well lit.

Gradually the clouds slow to a halt and there was a nearly perfectly circular gap in them that was kinda like a window looking directly at the moon. My mind was wandering, and I paced back and forth, ocasionally stopping to look at the bright moon and marvel at the Silvery Light reflecting off the clouds and the Grandness of the Scheme and The Works of His Hands and all that sappy rubbish.

After doing this for about ten minutes, I look at the moon again and just when I start to turn away, I notice not quite out of the corner of my eye a tiny pin-prick of red light sitting right below the center of the moon which as soon as I see it, zips in a perfectly straight line to the right and disappears behind the cloud cover.

Before I can get over what I just saw, which I immediately wondered if I was seeing a UFO or if my mind was playing tricks on me (though leaning towards the former). I’ve seen shooting stars, but they were always pale, ephemeral things that traveled in weak arcs. This light looked more “solid” and traveled in a perfectly straight line.

Suddenly, I see another identical tiny red light, this one at the moon’s upper left side. It also immediate zips in a straight line, although at about a 60 degree angle out to the upper left, and behind the cloud cover. Now I was really wondering what was going on. Again, I thought “UFO,” but felt stupid. Even though it didn’t look like a shooting star, I knew I was no astronomer and I could have been wrong. But I didn’t think I was.

At this point I’m really weirded out. I sort of deny what I had seen. I go back inside and ask dad to step out. When he comes I tell him to look at the moon. Together we stand there looking at the moon. He asks why I wanted him to look at the moon. I explain to him what happened. He tells me to go get some binoculars and look at the moon through those.

I run inside and come back out. I pull up a chair and sit there for about five minutes staring at the moon. I got a pretty good look at it, through the binoculars you can see the craters and everything, which surprised me. Dad gets bored and goes in. I sit there for about ten more minutes. Nothing.

I get up and start moving around. The nervous energy was driving me to pace about. About ten minutes later I look up again and I see a tiny spot of pale yellow light. “Ha!” I think, “Another UFO!” The light was really tiny and moving slowly towards my right. It pulsed regularly. I chastise myself for thinking it was a UFO.

After seeing the weird red lights by the moon, my imagination is running away from me and now every little plane or star is going to look like a UFO. I felt stupid. Then again, this light was kind of…odd. Something about it just seemed “un-airplane-like,” although at this point I couldn’t put my finger on just what it was.

I live not to far from an airport, so we get a lot of planes in and out of the area, but planes usually have red or green lights or something besides the blinking white strobe. This had no trace of any color besides pale yellow. And, the way this object “flashed,” I dunno it was just a bit different than the way I remembered planes flashing. It was almost like the timing was a bit less regular it just seemed more… organic. Later I decided that “pulsing” was a term more suited to the way the light changed brightness.

Still, it was silly to act like this was anything other than a normal everyday plane at high altitude. I thought my imagination was running away with me. I know I’ve said this before, but everytime I started to think I was seeing a UFO, I felt really stupid and embarrassed. After all it was moving at the right speed, certainly not making right angle turns or any of that UFO type stuff. I get a little bored with this airplane and as I turn away, just out of the corner of my eye, I notice it speeding up.

In just about a second, it ends up at about one and a half times to twice the speed that it was before. The object begins changing the “behavior” of its light. It now looked smaller, but no less bright. It’s color changes almost imperceptively towards the redder end of the spectrum. Previously it had been slowly pulsing, but this quickly became a rapid “flickering.”

Then, if all this wasn’t weird enough, it does something that really stuns me. It makes a sudden “U-turn,” and is now flying back up and over the path it had been going before. Once it gets about two thirds of the way back to where it was when I first noticed it, it stops. It paused briefly, and then stunned me even further by shooting off to the right and disappearing in a nearly straight but slightly parabolic path. The light left an extremely long, faint motion blur behind it.

Even though I had briefly considered that it may be a UFO, I didn’t expect it to really be one. I felt weird after seeing that, like sort of dazed. I then began searching for conventional explanations. It flew horizontally at a nearly straight line at high speed, so it had to be a satellite, right? I stood rooted at that one spot.

I still felt dazed, and tried to review the events in my mind. The rapid U-turn the light performed killed the satellite explanation. At this point I realized that I had literally gone into denial about what I had seen. Whatever this was, it wasn’t an airplane, satellite or shooting star. This dazed period lasted only a few seconds, but it seemed much longer.

Now the clouds were starting to roll in again and the object vanished. I went over to the right following the direction the light traveled, estimating where I would be able to see it again if the clouds cleared up. Then I waited. Suddenly it appeared again, when the clouds started thinning out. It made weird random motions like whirligig beetles on a pond. It was flying faster than I had ever seen an airplane of similar altitude fly, but not extremely fast like a meteor. It made swooping turns. Everytime it did this, just like before, it pulsed faster and looked a bit more reddish.

It vanished again as the clouds started rolling overhead again. Then appeared briefly. More clouds rolled in. I don’t know how many times I saw the object again, but it was a couple. Maybe four at the most. The clouds started rolling in even faster, until the entire sky was covered and the light was hidden from view.

I waited and the object didn’t appear. After I became confident I wouldn’t miss seeing the object again in the process, I went in to get my dad again, hoping it would appear for him and my story could be corroberated. We waited about 10 minutes. The clouds covered the sky completely and showed no signs of clearing up. Dad went back inside. I waited outside staying vigilant, watching the sky. About 45 minutes or so, later I gave up and went inside again.

I don’t know how long this experience lasted. The last time I had check a clock, it was not quite 9:30. It was 11:08 when I came in. The first thing I did after the incident was begin typing this. It took me about an hour, I think, before I actually posted it.

Update #1: I’ve added more detail to the description of my sighting of the red lights and why I felt they were not shooting stars.

Update #2: I’m removing foolish, inaccurate speculations about the yellow object’s elevation. The original text can be found below.

I live not to far from an airport, so we get a lot of planes in and out of the area, but they’re almost always recently taken off or soon to be landing which means that they’re almost always at low altitude. This sure wasn’t. If it was the size of a plane, then it had to be at a height that I don’t recall ever seeing any airplane at. And planes usually have red or green lights or something besides the blinking white one. This had no trace of any color besides light yellow. And, the way this object flashed, I dunno it was just a bit different than the way I remembered planes flashing. It was almost like the timing was a bit less regular it just seemed more… organic.

Pekka-Erik Auvinen’s Manifesto: A Commentary

Yeah, so another idiot shot up his school. This time in Finland. He also wrote a stupid little manifesto wherein he spouts nonsense about how he both wants, in no particular order, the human race to go extinct, and to create a just society lead by intelligent people. The stupid is strong with this one. Consequently, I couldn’t help but write a response.

Natural Selector’s Manifesto

How Did Natural Selection Turn Into Idiocratic Selection?

Today the process of natural selection is totally misguided. It has reversed. Human race has been devolving very long time for now.

Yeah, nowadays we have people like you popping up all over the place. <_<

Retarded and stupid , weak-minded people are reproducing more and faster than the intelligent, strong-minded people. Laws protect the retarded majority which selects the leaders of society. Modern human race has not only betrayed its ancestors, but the future generations too. Homo Sapiens, HAH! It is more like a Homo Idioticus to me!

Look who’s talkin’ bud.

When I look at people I see every day in society, school and everywhere… I can’t say I belong to same race as the lousy, miserable, arrogant, selfish human race! No! I have evolved one step above!

I’d ask you to prove it by trying and failing to produce viable offspring with a “human” but I bet your sorry ass died a virgin. It’s a shame, I would have liked to see if you were the patriarch of a new species.

Naturality has been discriminated through religions, ideologies, laws and other mass delusion systems. Individual, who is going through his/hers natural power process and trying to live naturally, but is being told that the way he acts or thinks is wrong and stupid, will usually have some reactions which might be considered as “psychological disorders” by the establishment.

Living naturally? I didn’t see you out in the bushes doing the hunter-gatherer thing, so what gives you the right to preach about how natural you were living?

In reality they are just natural reactions to the disruption of natural power process. They will have some of the following (depending on individual’s personality): feelings of inferiority / superiority, hostility, aggression, frustration, depression, self-hatred / hatred towards other people, suicidal / homicidal thought etc… and it is completely normal.

Natural power process? What the hell are you even talking about?

Humans are just a species among other animals and world does not exist only for humans.

Hey, a point of agreement! Strong agreement, really. But I didn’t see you out there trying to save the whales, either so you haven’t earned the right brag on that count either.

Death and killing is not a tragedy, it happens in nature all the time between all species.

Well, I can certainly think of one recent death that wasn’t a big tragedy.

Not all human lives are important or worth saving. Only superior (intelligent, self-aware, strong-minded) individuals should survive while inferior (stupid, retarded, weak-minded masses) should perish.

Well then, I guess you accomplished part of your mission.

There is also another solution to the problem: stupid people as slaves and intelligent people as free. What I mean is that they who have free minds, are capable of intelligent existential and philosophical thinking and know what justice is, should be free and rulers… and the robotic masses, they can be slaves since they do not mind it now either and because their minds are on so retarded level. The gangsters that now rule societies, would of course get what they deserve.

Bla bla bla…

Of course there is a final solution too: death of entire human race. It would solve every problem of humanity. The faster human race is wiped out from this planet, the better… no one should be left alive. I have no mercy for the scum of earth, the pathetic human race.

Says the guy who was talking about wanting to improve the race through natural selection. Um, not to be questioning your high and mighty super-evolved authority, but isn’t extinction the worst possible scenario that could happen to a species from an evolutionary perspective?

Collective Deindividualization: Totalitarianism & Delusions Of Democracy

Collective deindividualization is a phenomenon where individual will be trained as part of the mindless herd controlled by state, corporation, church or some other organization, group, ideology, religion or mass delusion system and adopt it’s rules, morality and codes of conduct.

Says the guy who conformed to the school shooter subculture: obsession with guns, writing manifestos, rabid atheism, ignorant evolution-based rhetoric, perpetrating your massacre in a school instead of against the government, killing at random instead of being organized, dressing in black, interest in the German language, etc.

This phenomenon has been familiar in all despotic, authoritarian, totalitarian, monarchist, communist, socialist, nazi, fascist and religious societies troughout history. Also, the modern western democratic republics have the same phenomenon. It is just done so that people will think they are free and don’t realize they are being enslaved. Majority of people in society are weak-minded and ignorant retards, masses that act like programmed robots and accept voluntarily slavery.

You don’t have anything meaningful to say, do you?

But not me! I am self-aware and realize what is going on in society! I have a free mind! And I choose to be free rather than live like a robot or slave. You can say I have a “god complex”, sure… then you have a “group complex”! Compared to you retarded masses, I am actually godlike.

Says a mortal (dead, in fact), non-miracle working, stupid dipshit that doesn’t even understand the basic ideas of evolutionary biology. Right. I tremble in awe before your glory.

Totalitarian governments rule people through education system, consumerism, mass media, monopoly on the legitimate use of physical force (police, military) and laws discriminating people who think differently than the majority. Democracy… you think democracy means freedom and justice? You are wrong. Democracy is a dictatorship of the moral majority… and the majority is manipulated and ruled by the state mafia. Modern western democracy has nothing to do with freedom or justice; it is totalitarian and corrupted system. Laws are made over the heads of the people and people are being brainwashed to support the system and connected to the institutional structures immediately after their birth. Societies are being ruled by manipulative and charismatic politicians who only care about the interests of majority, and who do not base their decisions on reason but emotions and feelings of the masses. These masses let the authorities of state to make all the important decisions for them. The masses will get an education, they study, get a job, go to work and vote in elections. They think they are free and don’t criticise or question the system. They have become robots. It is like a constructed mechanism in mind, that leaves little choice for an individual to think, talk and act independently.

You sure do hate those masses, don’t you?

Three Kinds Of Humans

There are three kinds of human personality types in this world:
1) individualistic human (3% of the world population)
2) manipulative human (3% of the world population)
3) mass human (94% of the world population)

#1 & #2 type of personalities are intelligent, creative and self-aware. They have chosen bit different paths paths. #3 type of personalities are less intelligent and less creative, weak-minded people controlled by #2 type of personalities. The percentages are only estimations though but are based on Gaussian distribution and history of human race and how humans have organized into societies. And this is the way it has always been ever since humans started to organize into communities.

Now he’s an anthropologist. A regular renaissance man, this guy is.

Another way how to divide people is bit different but is based on the same facts, human nature and history. The division is based on the level of intelligence and quality of mentality:
1) intelligent (3% of the world population)
2) slightly retarded, so called “normal people” or “robots” (94% of the world population)
3) highly retarded, “vegetables” (3% of the world population)

Which 3% bracket do you belong in again?

Total War Against Humanity

Hate, Im so full of it and I love it. That is one thing I really love. Some time ago, I used to believe in humanity and I wanted to live a long and happy life… but then I woke up. I started to think deeper and realized things. But it was not easy to become existential… knowing as much as I know has made me unhappy, frustrated and angry. I just can’t be happy in the society or the reality I live. Due to long process of existential thinking, observing the society I live and some other things happened in my life… I have come to the point where I feel nothing but hate against humanity and human race.

Whatever you say. I have the feeling that you don’t even know what those philosophical words you keep throwing around even mean.

Life is just a meaningless coincidence… result of long process of evolution and many several factors, causes and effects. However, life is also something that an individual wants and determines it to be. And I’m the dictator and god of my own life. And me, I have chosen my way. I am prepared to fight and die for my cause. I, as a natural selector, will eliminate all who I see unfit, disgraces of human race and failures of natural selection.

Then why did your highly evolved ass kill yourself? You talk all this bullshit about Darwinism, yet you kill yourself before fathering any offspring, thereby reducing your Darwinian fitness to zero. You go on and on about natural selection yet you killed randomly.

And best of all, you’re too stupid to notice the contradictions.

Not to mention that by only killing 8 other people you sure seem to have come short of your grandiose dream.

You might ask yourselves, why did I do this and what do I want. Well, most of you are too arrogant and closed-minded to understand… You will proprably say me that I am “insane”, “crazy”, “psychopath”, “criminal” or crap like that. No, the truth is that I am just an animl, a human, an individual, a dissident.

Yeah, well, it doesn’t matter how stupid we are, the whole point of writing a manifesto is to communicate what you believe and hope to accomplish and your failure to do so speaks badly about you and only.

I have had enough. I don’t want to be part of this fucked up society. Like some other wise people have said in the past, human race is not worth fighting for or saving… only worth killing.

Well, there’s one human that perished in this incident that society is glad to be rid of.

But… When my enemies will run and hide in fear when mentioning my name…

I hate to break this to you, buddy, but no one’s going to run in fear from the name “Pekka-Eric.”

When the gangsters of the corrupted governments have been shot in the streets… When the rule of idioracy and the democratic system has been replaced with justice… When intelligent people are finally free and rule the society instead of the idiocratic rule of majority… In that great day of deliverance, you will know what I want.

I thought you wanted us extinct. And you never told us how this was supposed to be accomplished. You= suck at manifesto writing. I’d be embarrassed to be killed by someone as stupid as you.

Long live the revolution… revolution against the system, which enslaves not only the majority of weak-minded masses but also the small minority of strong-minded and intelligent individuals! If we want to live in a different world, we must act. We must rise against the enslaving, corrupted and totalitarian regimes and overthrow the tyrants, gangsters and the rule of idiocracy.

By killing random kids in a school? How the fuck does that help anything? Most of those kids probably couldn’t even vote yet, dumbass. If you want to start a revolution, go shoot at some cops or the military. Oh wait, those people shoot back, don’t they?

I can’t alone change much but hopefully my actions will inspire all the intelligent people of the world and start some sort of revolution against the current systems. The system discriminating naturality and justice, is my enemy. The people living in the world of delusion and supporting this system are my enemies.

You’ve done nothing to beat the system you hate. You suck. And you haven’t even told us why you hate it or what to do about it. You’re dumb, too.

I am ready to die for a cause I know is right, just and true… even if I would lose or the battle would be only remembered as evil… I will rather fight and die than live a long and unhappy life.

You didn’t fight for anything, you just killed random kids. You’re act of terrorism was a failure.

And remember that this is my war, my ideas and my plans. Don’t blame anyone else for my actions than myself. Don’t blame my parents or my friends. I told nobody about my plans and I always kept them inside my mind only. Don’t blame the movies I see, the music I hear, the games I play or the books I read. No, they had nothing to do with this.

OK, OK, we get it. You’re an independent thinker. Shut up already!

This is my war: one man war against humanity, governments and weak-minded masses of the world! No mercy for the scum of the earth! HUMANITY IS OVERRATED! It’s time to put NATURAL SELECTION & SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST back on tracks!

Weren’t you talking about creating a just “free,” “just,” “natural,” human society a little bit ago? Now you want us all to die (again)? Can you not keep a coherent line of thought going across a few paragraphs?! Geez. Moron.

Justice renders to everyone his due.

Which, perhaps is why you’re rotting in the ground right now.

- Pekka-Eric Auvinen (aka NaturalSelector89, Natural Selector, Sturmgeist89 and Sturmgeist).
I also use pseydonym Eric von Auffoin internationally.

You know what? I think I’d like to perpetrate a massacre on a campus full of school shooters. Anyone wanna be an accomplice?

Yeah, so There’s this Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Guy…

…and he’s the president of this place called Iran. As I’m sure you know, he was recently invited to give a speech at Columbia University. Lots of people protested because he doesn’t like Israel, is a conspiracy theorist, and is accused of funding terrorism. When he went up to the podium, he was asked some very pointed questions about these things. Eloquently, and with technique exceeding many of our own politicians, he completely dodged every question posed.

And he said that gay people don’t exist in Iran.

Guffaw.

In the end, he came, he spoke about nothing, left, and now I’m going to have to list to the damned news reports over and over again about how controversial this all was. <_<

My Heart Goes Out to Virginia Tech

My dearest sympathies and most heartfelt prayers go out to the students and family who lost friends and loved ones to this most horrible of tragedies. Apart from that, I don’t really know what to say.

I first caught wind of the event in Latin today. A kid had his laptop and asked the girl who sits in front of me if she had heard there was a shooting at Virginia Tech. She nodded. I nodded too. I do that sometimes, respond to other peoples’ conversations… yeah… anyway, I was mistaken. I thought he was referring to some past shooting, as I knew there had been a bunch in the south east in the past.

Still, I went to Wikipedia when I went home. Just to be sure. I was wrong, and much to my suprise, it was not only current news, but the biggest school shooting in history. Wow. I don’t know what to say at all.

I’m just going to say that the topic of school shootings will be covered by me in the near future. I had already begun writing a couple of posts which specifically addressed Columbine. I was going to “publish” them to correspond with April 20th, the Columbine anniversary, but I think that this tragedy is motivation to get them done sooner.

I’ll keep the folks at Virginia Tech in my prayers.

P.S. What do you wanna bet that AiG will blame this on the teeaching of evolution in public schools if they haven’t already? (They didn’t have a post on it a few hours ago when I checked.)

Southern Hospitality my A$$!

There are many stereotypes of southerners. Ask anyone that’s not from Appalachia what the people are like there, and you’ll probably get three responses: “Stupid, poor and incestuous.” All those things are true, at least where I live. The incest thing is the only exception. Or maybe the locals just keep that one hidden better.

 You see, West Virginia has the lowest percentage of college degrees amongst its populace in the entire United States! They’re not rich, either. West Virginians on average make around $11,000 less per year than the average American.

There is however, a single positive stereotype that gets associated with southerners. They call it “southern hospitality.” Southerners are supposed to be welcoming, friendly and generous. I’m here to inform you on this sad day that southern hospitality is a myth. Do you know what the real southern mind set is? It’s that of a low-life inner city thug.
