Is it a back massager or a sex toy?

How about BOTH? Remember that infamous episode of “Sex & The City” when Kim Catrell’s character “Samantha” tried to return her VIBRATOR to The Sharper Image and got into a big debate with the Sharper Image salesman about it being a back massager. and not a sex. toy. Turns out they were both right!

For decades, women have been buying “back massagers” from the Sears & Roebuck catalog! Mom’s little helper came in the form of valium and the “Oster” massagers.

Modern women can buy a “back massager” at Walgreens, CVS, and just about every other drug store in the neighborhood. I remember buying my Hitachi wand at a local Walgreens about 20 years ago and it is still going strong. I bought it at the pharmacy thinking it was being discreet. (I was 21 at the time … so naive.) I didn’t realize that everyone in the FREE WORLD was using their back massagers for other areas and not just the tight neck or back. What can I say? I grew up late.

The Hitachi Magic Wand is probably the most INFAMOUS back massager. Every lesbian I have met and talked to about sex toys has mentioned the magical Hitachi electric wand, often referred to as a “magic wand”. I always joke that lesbians KNOW THEIR TOYS! And, here in the Bay Area, where we do our Bliss Pleasure Parties, we meet a lot of gay women who aren’t too shy to share their favorite sex toys with us!

The Magic Wand is a beautiful toy and it is also a FAB back massager. It plugs into the wall, making it very reliable. There are no batteries to wear out or die with you in that Oh, such an important moment! Seriously, it’s a great massager that works great for masturbation and partner sex too. It is not the sexiest or prettiest vibrator, but I can tell you that it is VERY reliable and will get the job done EVERY TIME.

But here is some very good news that I am very excited to share with all of you. The company that makes the Hitach magic wand is now shipping a new waterproof, wireless wand called the Mystic Wand. I think it’s PERFECTION and I’m very excited that my clients seem to agree. I’ve been showing it for about a month at our house parties and everyone who plays it falls in love too.

The new Mystic Wand has this delicious skin on the wand / bulb which is called “skin safe silicone” so this vibrator can be used all over the body, even sensitive skin! Massage aching shoulders and relieve neck pain, then guide the rounded head into the most intimate areas of your body for truly impressive sensations. The flexible neck allows this massager to be used at any angle, hitting sweet spots you didn’t even know you had!

This new “back massager” is like the sweetest, sexiest and most portable version of the Hitachi Magic Wand. It takes 4 double AA batteries and has LOTS of power for those who like stronger toys. It has 6 speeds, so there is something for everyone! And it is WIRELESS much easier to share with your partner and use together.

Both wands are made by one of my favorite sex toy manufacturers, Vibratex. Vibratex is the maker of the Original Rabbit Pearl, the “rabbit” that Charlotte from “Sex & The City” became addicted to. Vibratex makes great quality toys and this new cordless “back massager” is in the top of their top 3 sex toys in my opinion. They have a knack for making toys that last, they are made with women in mind, and they also think a lot about ergonomics. (Plus, your sex toys are guaranteed for 1 year!)

Do you want one of your own? Tell Santa what a good girl you’ve been! Add it to your wish list and tell Santa that you can use the coupon code “WAND” to get a FREE bullet with the purchase of a “Back Massager”.

How to get a girlfriend even if you are ugly, fat or have a disability

If you are one of the millions of guys who believe that you cannot get a girlfriend because of some aspect of your physical appearance, this article is for you. You have probably carried the weight of this load for a long time. You’ve seen your friends have girls and you’ve probably established the belief that, because of your appearance, having a woman in your life is not your “destiny.”

If this sounds familiar, you are not alone. In fact, you would be surprised how many men share the same suffering. Statistics say that 20% of the boys get 80% of the girls. Some would believe that this only further supports the notion that physical appearance is important and that unattractive people are destined to live a life of loneliness and pain. But as a man who struggled with his own limitations when it came to women, I can tell you that there is hope. The truth is that being unattractive in some way can go a long way toward attracting girls. Impossible you say? Well I’m telling you, it’s not!

The thing to keep in mind is that when it comes to women, appearance doesn’t matter that much. I know it sounds like a lie, but I tell you it is the truth. Yes, looks will help a handsome boy get a foot in the door, but they will only get him so far. Women are attracted to VALUE, nothing more and nothing less. If you can show a woman that you have great value, she will be attracted to you no matter what you look like or what disabilities you have. I’ve seen midget, crippled, and even legless dudes pull hot chicks. And the only difference between you and them is that they didn’t think the same way as you. They believed they had something to offer their daughters, and consequently they reflected that belief in everything they thought, did, and said.

So this is how you do it: imagine that women have the ability to see through you. They can look at you and immediately tell what is happening inside of you. They can see your beliefs through body language, your insecurities from the way your eyes move, and even your level of self-esteem just from the tone of your voice. The funny thing is, most women don’t know how they know it, they just know it. So when a man can present these attractive qualities, he will literally become the most handsome man they have ever seen, and regardless of any physical limitations he may have, women will sleep with him.

What’s more, when you can show women that you have high self-esteem despite being fat, ugly, or with a disability, they will actually be MORE attracted to you than a handsome guy with the same level of self-esteem. Why? Because, like the peacock that survives despite the limitations of its huge tail, they will see that you have the inner strength to overcome social definitions of attractive and unattractive and that you have high self-esteem despite it. This is EXTREMELY attractive to women, and this is why some very ugly dudes have some of the hottest chicks out there. It is about your belief system.

To learn how to change your beliefs, you will have to do serious work. I’m not going to sit here and lie to you and tell you that it will be easy; it will not. But what I will tell you is that it is possible. Seriously motivated to attract hot girls, I have seen guys emerge from the deepest depths to become seduction machines. You will have to work on the way you speak to yourself, your body language, your internal belief systems, and most of all, your self-esteem.

Interview with Valerie Hart, author of "Central Florida Bounty"

Irene Watson, Editorial Editor of Reader Views, is pleased to have Valerie Hart, author of “The Bounty of Central Florida,” as a guest.

Hi Valerie, thank you for taking the time to participate in this interview.

Irene: Valerie, why do you think “The Bounty of Central Florida” was an important book to write? What goals did you have?

Valerie: Regional cookbooks have flooded the market. Southwestern, Northwestern, Cuban, Caribbean, Cajun and combinations of these, including the American innovation called Fusion that incorporates Asian with any of the other featured regions and creative new chefs that are incorporating fresh ingredients from the areas.

When we moved from Miami to Central Florida 15 years ago, the kitchen changed dramatically. In addition to local Italian restaurants featuring tomato-based Sicilian cuisine and a handful of Mexican catering for migrant workers in this citrus area, mama-papa restaurants north of Orlando served a unique cuisine of their own. This drew on its South American roots with a rustic twist on accessible fish and game simply grilled or fried and accompanied by fruits and vegetables freshly plucked from the trees and the ground.

Every spring-fed lake produces sea bass. The largest lakes are flooded with alligators and tilapia. The St. John’s Brackish River is rich in blue crabs and shrimp, and its tributaries are full of redfish, sea bass, and snook. Wood ducks seem to exist solely for the pleasure of the pan, and a little south in Osceola County, wild turkeys and deer breed in abundance for happy hunters. And like the rest of the South, barbecue reigns supreme with its own versions of Central Florida’s sweet, spicy and mustard-based sauces slathered on gigantic slow-smoked pork ribs.

My goal, as the food writer for The Daily Commercial, was to make people aware of the abundance of the area.

Irene: What challenges did you have in writing this book and how did you overcome them?

Valerie: The challenges were lovely. My many trips down the St. John River with ancient boaters put me in direct contact with the people who live and earn their livelihoods from the streams of the intercoastal waterways. My membership and association with the NWTF (National Wild Turkey Federation) not only taught me how to fry a whole turkey, but also instilled respect for this dedicated group of conservationists who teach women to survive in the wild as a responsible control of weapons for children.

The most difficult challenge, however, was writing the book as I faced Monday’s deadline to write Thursday’s newspaper column and teach cooking at the homeless shelter. There just wasn’t time to do everything, and I was spending more and more hours creating recipes late.

at night and opening my computer to record them before the sun rises.

Irene: Are the recipes your own creation? Have any of them been passed down to you from the family?

Valerie: The recipes are my own, derived from my sense of taste, smell, and desire to create. My educational experience in France (later Cordon Bleu courses after I started teaching cooking in Miami) and our 30-year business in Italy, where we had an apartment in Florence and traveled extensively in northern Italy, put me in contact. with a crowd

of country cooks and “nonnas” (Italian grandmothers) in the kitchens of the houses who shared “secrets” passed down from generation to generation.

Irene: How did you start cooking? Did you cook as a child? Where did you learn to cook? Do you have a funny story while learning to cook that you can relate to?

Valerie: I would love to say that I learned how to cook from my mother and grandmother, but fortunately this is not true. My mother and grandmother had absolutely no talents in the kitchen, probably because they always cook to do it for them. The only foods my mother knew how to cook were roast beef, turkey, and roast lamb chops. Those were the days when all the fat was left on monkeys and formed a scab. We not only ate the top fat from the meat and between the bones of the chops; we enjoy it. And the trick was to eat the turkey and the meat before the sauce was poured over it and solidified into a hard white mass.

We had a German cook for many years. My parents traveled a lot and left me in their care. The kitchen was a sultry wonderland of chocolate, custard, and veal which she delicately dipped in beaten eggs and then homemade breadcrumbs before frying into a golden brown delicacy she called Wiener Schnitzel which she served with French fries and buttered noodles. . Elizabeth never used an electric mixer, but beat the butter, sugar, and egg whites by hand to make her 6-Layer German Doboschtorte, Viennese Rich Chocolate Sachartorte, and Hungarian Caramel Cake. She was my first culinary mentor and her recipes appear in my first cookbook, The New

Traditional cookbook.

Irene: I see in your biography that you aspired to be an opera singer, but you ended up in a career as a gastronomic writer and then a career in cooking. Are there times when you would like to turn the pages and pursue a singing career?

Valerie: Sometimes, even though my life would have been very different. I will always remember having studied with the great André Bogé on the stage of the Grand Opéra in Paris. He obviously didn’t have enough ambition, or maybe I realized that he didn’t have the voice meant for greatness.

Irene: Do you have a favorite recipe from this book? Why?

Valerie: Guests and family who dine with us usually ask me to make the lime cheesecake or individual flourless chocolate soufflés for dessert. My duckling is a kid’s favorite and I will offer 2-3 variations of sauce for their pleasure. I really love pumpkin soup and

Refreshing Strawberry Salad. I make dozens of Mushroom Roll hors d’oeuvres and dessert Profiteroles to freeze for unexpected company and because our linden trees are so prolific, you will always find a frozen Lime Pie.

Irene: This is a second cookbook for you. The first was The New Tradition Cookbook, which was published in 1988. What did you learn after writing the first one that changed in your second book, The Bounty of Central Florida?

Valerie: My first cookbook was written as a result of my years as a food writer for the newspaper in Miami Beach and the food restaurant I owned for 15 years at my husband’s wholesale furniture showroom, Imports for the Trade. The restaurant was my test kitchen. We did not sell the food, rather we offered it to the designers and their customers as it would be done at home. The daily changing buffet became so popular that people lined up around the block. We serve more than 100 people each day in the restaurant we built inside the brick showroom of the old Union Station in Chicago that had been torn down.

Although most of the format of the first book was based on American cuisine and my interpretation of French and Italian cuisine, Miami Beach’s wonderful ethnicity allowed me to discover recipes for matzo balls, gefülte fish, stuffed cabbage, beef brisket, and potato pancakes. that I published in the newspaper during the Jewish holidays. It would go down to what has become the “in” area now known as “SoBe” which, in the late 1960s and 1970s, was still populated solely by elderly Jews. I would approach the ladies who were shopping. Each had a different recipe for the same dish and each thought that theirs was the best. Then I would go home and experiment and try and try again until the combination of ingredients was to my liking. Then I would write my food column.

The common denominator of the two books is my belief that people like to read about fine cuisine but want to cook and eat staples.

Irene: What do you hope will come out of this cookbook experience for you? Thinking of writing another?

Valerie: I don’t know if I’ll ever write another cookbook, but I have so many recipes that don’t appear in the first two that it tempts me. Anyone who cooks knows that there is always a new and different method of preparation to please the palate. There is never a last chapter to cook.

Irene: Thank you Valerie. Is there anything else you would like to add about your cookbook or your experience?

Valerie: I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to express myself. This is the first time I have been asked these questions and the interview has been very pleasant.

The spirit of the soul and the death of morality: where do you come from?

“The spirit of the soul and the death of morality”: Where do you come from? it is a controversial interpretation of what it is and is not. Many will argue the truth of its content and continue to argue that their religion is better than yours. Can you handle the truth? Many cannot and / or do not want to! Is there a superior race? Is your supposed race better than theirs or mine …?

Where do you come from? Do you come from the trees or the cave? Do you and your family come from the mountains or the plains? How many in your family committed murders? How many members of your family were killed? What about the rap of women, children and young children? You’ve done it? Did the priests intentionally corrupt and exploit their flocks? Did they contaminate you? Do you follow and believe in the ravings of politicians?

The tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi were expelled from the Land of Israel around AD 70. This was due to the Hebrew-Roman wars that resulted in the death of thousands of black Hebrew Israelites. Mainly women, men and children were slaughtered by a powerful army of Roman soldiers and recruits in their domain of the Empire. The remnants of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi fled primarily to West Africa to escape death and prosecution around AD 70.

Very often, a fictional author describes life and the great truth of life better than the historian. The writer does not pretend to write what is exactly true. He or She describes all things imaginatively. Therefore, the common people are privileged to see what foundations the commonly accepted scriptures reveal. One can sift through the pile of evidence and do his own search through the maze of text. Thousands – Millions of people look to the New Testament as their leader and guide. Knowing from what authority this information is derived is critical, and many women and men will be delighted to find the evidence clearly presented to them.

They (the machines) depended on solar energy. It was believed that they could not survive without an energy source as abundant as the sun. “

“Nobody cares how it works, as long as it works!”

No man has ever appealed to the imagination of the masses of the world and played with our feelings, as Jesus of Nazareth has done. The ordinary man, woman and child are invited to take their place in the council chamber, which accepts and rejects the various writings and scriptures.

“I do not adore what you adore, nor you whom I adore; nor will I adore whom you adore; nor will I adore whom I adore; you will be your religion, and for me my religion. Truthfully, you can never give way to any other consideration or purpose. “

(Al-Kafirun – The Disbelievers)

The Garden of Eden was man’s first home. Adam was put there by God to live a quiet life.

You’d be surprised how many would disagree with that statement. And you? Can you handle the truth? “Can you follow the path and speak what is spoken?”

When was the last time you examined her spirit and soul? Is it clean? Who are the ones who say you have no morals? Who is it that says you don’t belong where you are … that you don’t deserve to have the freedom to choose? Who says should be controlled, imprisoned or killed?

You owe it to yourself and yours to know the truth …

“It’s not the things you know, it’s the things you know that aren’t like that!”

“The spirit of the soul and the death of morality”: Where do you come from?

BISAC: Body, Mind and Spirit / Spiritism

… is an excellent read. The controversial text and passages are sure to attract theologians and prophets from around the world. It will stimulate readers to argue with themselves and wonder if what they have been taught to believe is correct information. What about the separation of church and state? What will become of man … of us?

Is the answer within the pages of this book? There’s only one way to find out … okay?

Until next time …

A childhood game

In the morning, before the sun rose, a group of Nigerian-Igbo children, ages four to six, would gather in the front yard of the family home, and we would use a dry twig to scratch a grid of columns and rows within a six-square-foot area on sandy, earthy soil. Then we would take turns and line up with our backs to the grill. From outside the margin, the first child would toss a pebble over his head, hoping it would land in some of the smaller units on the grid. Then, still facing the margin of the grid, the pitcher must retrieve the pebble, wherever it landed, from outside the margin.

A good launch was when the pebble landed with a thud in the center of a unit, where the boy could lean on one leg and one hand, stretch his body, and retrieve it with his free hand. A successful launch and retrieval gave the boy ownership of the unit, and he could use the purchased units to retrieve the thrown pebbles in the future. The most accessible units to get were the ones closest to the margins, and we would try them first. A pebble that did not fall into any unit was a bad throw, allowing the next child to throw it.

Aiming and throwing overhead with the back turned was a challenge for most of the boys. It was like groping in the dark. You had to mentally calculate the position of each of the units so that a thrown pebble could fall on them without skidding.

There was a lot of motor planning (praxis) that went into that critical part of the work. For example, the child had to think about how much force to apply to the pebble and in which direction he wanted it to go. He also had to remember the drives that were still open; that is, those units not yet acquired. Retrieving the pebble from where it landed was also a challenge. To do that, they had to support their body on one leg and one arm, while using the other hand to lift the stone. This maneuver must have attributed immensely to the vestibular system of balance, as well as to the joints and proprioception. Children who did not have a sound balancing system often tipped over and fell on their abdomen.

There were also occasions when children were expected to jump around the units with one leg to retrieve the pebble. It was against the rule for the soles of the feet to touch the lines. Avoiding breaking the rule required a lot of precision and praxis, and coordination between the visual system, the motor system, and the vestibular system. We did multiple reps and reps. Each game lasted for hours, becoming more difficult when each child would have to place their pebble on a remaining unit in one corner of the grid. However, I think we persevered because we were competing with each other and because the play was challenging.

That is not to say that there were no frustrations. Children with balance difficulties were especially frustrated playing this particular game. Ironically, I remember the frustrating aspect of the game more than the routine parts. I remember the pebble’s tendency to slide off the grid, the numerous times the children stepped on the lines and the children fell on their abdomen when they stretched out their right hand while balancing on their left arm and left leg. Falling down, while disappointing, was fun too. Unfortunately, like cultures, authentic Igbo childhood works continue to disappear from the playlist of games that children can play.

What separated Michael Jordan from the rest

The debate grows and will continue to evolve as new NBA players define themselves and fans are absorbed by them. However, despite the rapid introduction of several great players in the last two decades, certain someone still comes into our thoughts when we discuss who is / was the greatest of all time. A discussion on such a topic could not even be probed without mentioning who, in my opinion, is the greatest basketball player of all time. Of course I’m talking about Michael Jordan.

Statistics have been compared, numbers added, processed, and included in various equations with the expectation of a robust answer. It never happens. It seems that only your interpretation and your instinct could give you the answer. Some of today’s gamers get caught up in the equation for the simple fact that they put in the numbers, make rings, and wow the audience. LeBron James and Kobe Bryant are the closest candidates to even be compared to MJ in my opinion. Kobe has won the battle of many important statistics, including championships. LeBron is on his way to building his reputation beyond question. But if we take a moment to acknowledge that everyone has great and meaningful stats and then focus on the dynamics of the game, then maybe we can see things clearer.

I’m very impressed by the way Michael Jordan was able to not only understand the game of basketball, how he viewed the court in any setting, but how it affected people while playing. Michael was able to create a response in his teammates. He understood his abilities, his mentality, his weaknesses and vision, and was able to lead his team to numerous victories as a true champion would. The Bulls of the 90s were not the best team of that time from a statistical point of view, nor from a player-to-player evaluation point of view. However, the energy and dynamics of that team were unmatched. This can be attributed to the energy that Michael emanated.

Michael Jordan wasn’t interested in points, attention, comparisons or anything like that. If it were, he wouldn’t have let anything distract him from the game when he decided to try his baseball career. He simply felt that he had achieved what he set out to achieve with the game. He came back from his love of the game and maybe just to see if he still had that special, strange ability to control the pace of the game. Surely he did and steamed to the left. Too many of these players today are concentrating on beating their stats and outshining it rather than using their obvious talents to improve their game, win championships, and improve the quality of their teams and the game in general.

MJ stands out in a league of his own when it comes to passion, respect and effectiveness in the game of basketball. For this reason, I and many others around the world crown Michael Jordan the greatest of all time.

Hip-hop – Violent and Degrading lyricsAZLyrics.com

Hip-hop music includes violent and abusive lyrics that could possibly reflect other illegal activities used for sexual purposes. Music identified as hip-hop verbally violates basic human rights, particularly the rights of women. Excessive and blatant sexual abuse connotations can be found in almost every musical score, as women are portrayed as prostitutes and assets who are worth no more than existing for the sexual pleasures of man. Much of the lyrics in rap songs are abusive and degrading to all women.

Hip-hop is a manifestation and twist of the exploitation of African American and Latin American youth, and is often seen as having attributes of sexism and misogyny. Latino and black youth in New York City originally started hip-hop culture, which included rapping, DJing, break dancing, and writing graffiti. But it has become more than just local expressions.

Hip-hop is a lifestyle for many people between the ages of 13 and 30. It includes music, videos, fashion, club scenes, and the ways young people interact with each other. The media has embraced and embraced hip-hop culture, as well as large corporations, such as Coca-Cola and Burger King. Hip-hop versions can be found in marketing media and corporate advertisements. The Brooklyn Museum of Art even has an exhibit dedicated to hip-hop culture.

The most influential part of hip-hop is known as rap music. Rap music is a form of poetry, recited over musical instrumentation. Rap music is considered by many to be brutally honest, violent, and misogynistic. But for others, violence and hatred towards women seems flagrant and offensive.

Much of rap music portrays black women in negative images. Hip-hop culture views all women, but especially black women, as sexual objects. Most hip-hop videos show women dancing or exhibited in explicit sexual poses, wearing bikinis (or less), with the focus on their body parts. The images go hand in hand with the explicit language that suggests that women are nothing more than sex objects or money-generating commodities. Many rappers describe themselves as ‘pimps’ and women as second-class and sexual commodities. Many rap songs not only glorify the lifestyle of the pimp and refer to women in a way that a pimp might describe his prostitutes, but the lyrics promote violence towards women who “disobey.”

Of course, not all rap music is misogynistic, and not all black men think of women this way, but a large percentage within hip-hop culture do. Insults in rap music dishonor, disrespect and dehumanize women. When society agrees to label women in this way, will physical and psychological abuse be acceptable? Unfortunately, many black men struggle with racism or oppression within hip-hop culture, and have been conditioned to distrust trust and love.

Many women consent to these collaborations and believe that racism or subjugation are viable excuses or justifications for the practice of degrading and exploiting women. The number of women taking unpaid auditions for video recordings indicates that a significant number of hip-hop consumers are women. Groups of women can be seen loitering in the backstage areas of concerts, expressing their willingness to perform sexually in exchange for money and jewelry, or perhaps noticing a feeling of being loved.

Historically, black women have been used as sexual instruments and continue to fight for power and material wealth. When slavery was legal and rampant, black women were routinely sexually abused by any man who desired her. They could be used for breeding purposes and create more slave trade for their owners. Black women also used sex to reduce the chances of cruel treatment by slave masters. They paid with their bodies to survive and achieve a better deal within the uncontrolled and abusive slave life.

Black women emerged from slavery as overexposed and promiscuous. Some saw themselves as society dictated and believed that they had no control over their bodies. While trying to fit into white societies, some black men wanted women to occupy subordinate positions in a white household; while some black women wanted men to get jobs and be the sole provider. Hip-hop culture displays similar oppressive obsessions. Some black women prefer to use their sexual powers for financial gain. And many black men have learned to manipulate women using money. In order for many black women to get what they want, they accept abuse and allow themselves to be exploited through hip-hop imagery.

Sometimes black women are uneducated and have no job skills. Many believe that their bodies are all they can offer to gain status. Many dysfunctional relationships can be found within hip-hop culture. Some women believe that men are useful instruments for accessing money; Some men think that women only have value when it comes to sexual gratification.

Would censoring hip-hop music and lyrics be an answer? Perhaps, the solution would be to change the society and ideology of hip-hop by interrupting the promotion of negative and misogynistic lyrics. But the first step in changing gender relations within the hip-hop community is education. People should be aware of the negative and derogatory connotations that continue to violate women’s rights, in sexist lyrics, physical interactions, and at hip-hop gatherings. But, of course, people must be receptive to the devastating results of human rights violations and be willing to change.

Are the human meat traders alive and well in the United States? Of course, we all know that trafficking in women is illegal, but considering the 45,000,000+ dating websites on the internet, is this a modern legal tool that continues the exploitation of women?

Speaking out against the exploitation of women in hip-hop cultures and of women everywhere can help change ideologies. But, if women are not interested or willing to stop exploitative tactics, they will continue to be used and considered only sexual instruments.

Although women have come a long way, their work is not done and they have a long way to go before equality becomes a reality.

The Mafia Justice Mindset

How does mass justice happen? You can question yourself. You are on a busy street doing your daily activity. You hear a shrill sound from probably a lady, and soon after there is a loud commotion. There is tension in the air. You turn around to see what is happening and you find a group of three or more mistreating a young man. Your curiosity makes you approach to witness the scene. By the time you arrive, the number of people has increased, the young man is already drowning in his pool of blood, and the people around him are using whatever object is available to hit him. You meet a young woman and panic is written on her face and she can’t hold back the tears. The environment forces you to ask what is going on. She struggles to speak but after regaining her composure she tells you that the young man who was thoroughly beaten had tried to snatch her mobile phone from her and after shouting people came out of nowhere and cornered the man who was trying to run for his life.

It is always a messy scene where the mob has dispensed their justice. But is popular justice a form of justice? They always think they are right. They often draw their power in great numbers. They are almost unstoppable when they begin to execute their justice. They are outrageous, easily provoked and do not allow any opposition. The suspect or the victim always suffers his anger. They always link their actions to the assumption that once they are done with the suspect, it is always a learning point for others who may have the criminal mindset to change. They are not always concerned whether the victim who was robbed will get their property back. No! They want it to be a learning lesson for the other bullies on the way. In most cases, the suspect ends up being burned, hanged or left to die after a severe beating.

The mob’s justice mindset makes them the law enforcement, prosecutor, and judge all at once. The suspect does not always have time to be heard, which is a violation of his right. The law of being innocent until proven otherwise is always contravened, and yet it is called justice. Cases of mistaken identity are always rampant when mafia justice takes their cause. Innocent lives are lost and this creates bitter pain among the victim’s family. Mob psychology presumes that once they are done with their barbaric act, the other criminals will be notified and separated from their criminal nature. This is not always the case, as crime actually increases as the accomplices of the victim seek revenge. Also research has shown that the people who always get involved in the mob’s act of justice are always the people with lewd characters along with idle minds looking for a place to vent their anger and frustrations. In other circumstances, participants in popular justice were once victims of violent robberies.

There are always friendly forms of conflict resolution and popular justice does not make it one. A state is governed by its laws enshrined in a constitution and therefore taking the laws in one hand is pure injustice. Justice cannot be achieved when one of the parties is not heard and their own rights are violated. The mob justice mentality is the worst disease to be cured and it can only be achieved when you and I get together and don’t get involved in the act.

Chronicles of Madness – Episode 37

In our episode 37 of Madness Chronicles, we will see the insanity of getting rich during a pandemic. Remember, insanity is a state of mental illness, gross and extremely foolish behavior, and a frenzied or chaotic form of activity. Let’s take a look at the insanity of pandemic profits.

As you begin this journey, keep in mind that businesses have been closed around the world, restaurants have been closed, and millions of people have been out of work. With draconian locks as the norm, some creative folks make golden lemonade out of sour lemons that the rest of the world enjoys.

Take Elon Musk, for example. A young entrepreneur, billionaire creator of Tesla. You know that fancy battery electric car that costs more than most other vehicles. ZeroHedge reports that in the last year, think pandemics, shutdowns, and masks, Musks’ net worth has quadrupled to more than $ 100 billion. That’s a lot of money, no matter how I say it. Pretty impressive, don’t you think?

Well, like everything in 2020, this seems a bit strange. While Tesla shows that a ‘profitable’ spike under the covers shows a strange 2020 story. From 2010 to 2020, while reporting ‘earnings’, Tesla has racked up a staggering $ 5.6 billion in debt. But wait, there were no gains at Tesla? Of course, but it seems that they come in the form of the sale of ‘regulatory credits’. Which was worth a whopping $ 397 million last year. So your profits come from ‘regulatory credits’ that don’t sell new Tesla’s.

It’s pure speculation on my part, but Musk is using the same accounting firm that Dr. Tony Fauci and the CDC use to calculate deaths from the Wuhan virus. I wonder how you can get into the sale of ‘regulatory credits’. Nonetheless, Elon Musk is now the second richest man in the world after Amazon’s Jeff Bezos.

Speaking of Bezos, Forbes reports that since the pandemic began, Bezos’ fortunes have risen to more than $ 230 billion, more than $ 90 billion in the year of the pandemic. Keep in mind, it’s a billion with a B. Other billionaires weren’t so lucky. Take Microsoft’s co-founder, philanthropist, and self-proclaimed vaccine guru, Bill Gates. His wealth jumped a measly 20%, putting his net worth at $ 118 billion since March. The deer in the headlights Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg did much better than Gates with an 85% profit at $ 101.2 billion.

Overall, the United States is home to 644 billionaires. The market must be as fickle as the virus itself because the wealth of these billionaires increased by nearly $ 1 trillion. That puts these 644 people now with a value of $ 3.88 trillion. That would be with a T. During the pandemic, their fortunes increased by a staggering $ 934 billion. The $ 3.88 trillion wealth of these 644 ordinary people is nearly double the $ 2.1 trillion value of the poorest 50% of our nation’s population, whose net worth was not growing.

Pandemics, it turns out, are fun things. According to the CDC, this would be the third pandemic in my life. I had no idea the first two happened, and here we have this one where you can see it if you go to church, but not if you go to Walmart. The damn thing must impact financial fortune in the same way. The small portion of immeasurable billionaires earn a fortune. At the same time, 50% of the rest are sitting at the traffic light. Strange times has been this 2020.

May we wake up from this madness before it is too late. I wish you good health, and until next time, have fun, enjoy life, and watch out for the madness between us. It’s 2020 and it’s getting out of hand.
