MTV, Viacom and Al Qaeda

Now I’m not one of these middle aged men that like to talk about the “Good Ol’ Days” when MTV used to actually play music videos. Nor will I ever state that my generation did not want to repel against our older generations by watching rock videos, wearing our hair long, or doing other counter culture acts, just to make our parents angry and to try to find our own place in society.


However, recently the shock reality shows on MTV do have me shocked. First off- there is no such thing as a reality show. These people know they are on camera, therefore they will act differently in order to gain fame and notoriety. They will perform on TV in an effort to get money and further contract deals. It is much like the person acting foolishly on stage when hypnotized, only to find out afterwards that the hypnotized person was fully conscience of their actions. Therefore there must be some reason people act this way.

MTV has crossed the line on these reality shows. It all started with the Real World, which was not real at all. How many people when they were 18-22 years old were put in a nice beach house with other 18-22 year old with the camera running? Nothing real about it. Of I have to mention the Jersey Shore, which there is enough written about the moral decline in that show. Teen Mom is another classy show. Now there is Skins which the FCC had actually had to censure on child pornography charges.

MTV had the audacity to state that these issues in the show Skins are real life situations that teens are facing. That might be true, but it does not give a TV Media cooperation like Viacom the right to profit and promote it. It comes to the question of is this art replicating life, or life replicating art. I believe it is both. Of course there are teen pregnancies and teen sex, but there are also teens believing that MTV is displaying what is the norm. Does the Jersey Shore depict these young people going to the doctor to get STD treatments? Does it show them losing their jobs since they cannot sober up to get to work? Of course not, because that is the REAL WORLD. That is reality TV.

Hence, MTV and Viacom has to be owned by someone wanting to undermine Americas youth, corrupt them, and damage the youths reproductive organs with STDs so there will be no future generations.

BTW- if you have a 3D TV, be careful watching the Jersey Shore, I have heard their STDs can actually make it through the cable lines.

Hezbollah, MS13, Education and Celebrity Sex Tapes

As we start 2011 and say good bye to 2010, I would like to talk about some of the things I have written about in 2010. Yes, all of the topics mentioned in the title of this article I have written about. I have researched extensively on Hezbollah. I have submitted some pretty in depth papers to my professors on the rise of Hezbollah, how they affect us in the United States, their ties with Iran. I have interviewed Lebanese Christians that had to leave Lebanon. I have posted documents on all of my favorite writing sites about Hezbollah.


I have also written about the rise of MS-13 throughout the United States and their ties with Mexican drug cartel. I have discussed all about how money MS-13 makes gets funneled into Mexican drug cartels, into South America and into terror groups such as Hezbollah and Iran (Hezbollah does operate within the US and Mexico).

My passion is for education and training. It is what I do for my profession. I write extensively about training topics to help trainers become master training specialists. I write on adult education topics, androgogical principles, training techniques, etc.

Lastly there are celebrity sex tapes. Whenever a celebrity has some type of sexual scandal, it seems to be the only thing on the internet that makes money (including us independent writers that comment on it). Out of the articles I have written, perhaps the largest money makers have been my comments on Daisy De La Hoya’s nude photos (I don’t even know who she is, she wasn’t actually nude in the photo, I just happened to stumble on them), a Gene Simmons Sex Tape (never watched it, had no desire to, especially since he was about 50 at the time of filming), and some Cheetah Girl showing her butt to the camera.

In 2011, I have to remember that when the media is talking about some celebrity screwing up and displaying their private parts, that is their money maker. That just like me, they would like to discuss articles or items of meaning. But just like me, no one would pay attention.

I wonder how much traffic this article would get just because “celebrity sex tapes” is in the title? I also wonder how many people will read this and think that David Plouffe, Obama's campaign manger is actually writing about celebrity sex tapes?

911

Wow, seven years since the terrorist attacks of 9-11. We all have our stories, we all remember where we were. We were lucky, we made it through. We had friends that had family members in the Pentagon that were killed, but we made it through.

I think often about what could have been. Imagine if the heroes of Flight 93 did not sacrifice themselves and let the terrorists fly the plane into the intended target - The Capitol. the morning of 9-11 Congress was in the Capitol. If a plane crashed into it we would have lost at least half of Congress, their administration staff, and numerous other lives. Not only would the terrorists have succeed in attacking the head of the financial district (The Twin Towers) the head of the US Military (the Pentagon) but the US Political system (the Capitol). This would have required emergency elections after the terrorist attacks and would have put America in a much different situation had flight 93 succeed.

If we had to elect a new congress before retaliating for the attacks of 9-11, our attacks would have more likely been more servere. Lets face it, half of Congress would not have bene present, many of them would have been injured, and they would be more vengeful then they already were.

We are very lucky for the heroes of Flight 93, they made the world much safer by their sacrifice.
