"Queer As Folk" show Made Me Nauseous

May 20, 2013

(left. Queer as Folk was a Showcase TV series that ran from 2000-2005 and portrayed the lives of five gay friends living in Pittsburgh. PA.)

The showtime series "Queer as Folk" was part of the Illuminati (Satanist) program to replace heterosexual institutions (marriage, family) with homosexuality and perversion. This is done to destabilize society as children need to be born & raised in a wholesome environment. Our contributor Sasha Spencer checked the TV show out (of the library) and was appalled. Here is her review.

WHILE CHRISTIANITY UPHOLDS THE HIGHEST IN MAN, HIS DIVINE SPIRIT, LUCIFERIANS WORSHIP THE LOWEST, WHILE PRETENDING IT IS THE HIGHEST

"One of the men being banged from behind is Brian's mother's ( a staunch Christian) minister. Later in the show, Brian confronts the minister for being a hypocrite and the minister's reply was, "I only teach love". Brian's response is, "I've had the minister down on all 4's squealing like a pig, taking it up the ass"."

     Browsing for DVD'S at the library, I came upon the series, "Queer as Folk". Queer as Folk was produced for Showtime Entertainment, developed and written by Ron Cowen and Daniel Lipman. Originally based on a British series, the show was the first hour-long drama on American television to portray the lives of gay men and women.

The American version quickly became the number one show on the Showtime roster. The series was targeted at gay males but, surprisingly a large segment of viewers were straight females. (Trying to understand, like me?). The series was groundbreaking in being the first American series to show anal sex scenes, masturbation and shaved full frontal naked males.

The series follows the lives of five gay men, Brian, Justin, Michael, Emmett and Ted; a lesbian couple, Lindsay and Melanie; along with Michael's mother Debbie, (played by Sharon Gless), and his uncle Vic, who has AIDS.

To give you an idea of what you are in for, the opening musical theme is called "Spunk" by Greek Buck.

Let me state for the record, I am not against gays in any way, shape or form. I have family and loved ones who are gay. With that said, these are my impressions.

Queer as Folk is very explicit. It was a bit shocking to see men having very perspicuous anal sex constantly. The bath house scenes were raw and urgent. The men were predatory and hovering. It reminded me of the time I visited Christopher Street in NYC with a gay friend. Trying to be invisible, I observed the behavior of gay men in various bars. The intense drive, compulsion and desperation for sex could be cut with a knife. It was very disturbing.

After my initial nausea at the extremely graphic sex scenes, I began to feel numb. Three DVD'S in, it wasn't so shocking to see men taking it up the ass or rimming each other [licking ass]. And isn't numbness exactly what the Illuminati controllers want us to feel? Men trolling for anonymous sex with men in a predatory fashion, living for sex and the next big conquest -- no big deal, it's normal.

I DON'T NEED AN EXCUSE TO F*CK

I found the series to be depraved and immoral. Everything seemed to be focused on the male organ. The bathhouse scenes had copious amounts of anal sex, group sex and loud orgasms, leaving little to the imagination. Why does this bother me so much?   It must be the promiscuous, self-indulgent loveless lifestyles. Watching this made me feel empty.

An opening scene starts out with Brian and Justin (a couple) having extremely vigorous anal sex with two other men from behind and kissing each other while doing it. This was their DATE NIGHT! As it turns out, one of the men being banged from behind is Brian's mother's ( a staunch Christian) minister. Later in the show, Brian confronts the minister for being a hypocrite and the minister's reply was, "I only teach love". Brian's response is, "I've had the minister down on all 4's squealing like a pig, taking it up the ass".

This series tries to make the constant obsession with sex seem normal. It's the right of every gay to act in this depraved way. It's OK to f*ck guys constantly and the more the better.    Everything revolves around boners, dicks, f**ING, scoring...Ugh! If you want to see plenty of anal sex and erections, this show is for you.

(As usual, lesbian appearance is not portrayed realistically.)

In contrast, the lesbians, Lindsay and Melanie shadow the gay men. The sex scenes between them are not as offensive because they are more gentle and loving. Brutishness is absent in their sex scenes, however their morality is also in question as they cheat on each other and have a threesome. Lindsay has a baby with Brian's sperm and Melanie with Michael's seed. It's all so confusing.

In the fifth season, the premise is that the boys have become men. Hardly.
Michael loves comic books and sleeps on Captain Astro sheets. Brian, having a testicle removed has to haunt the bath house to prove to himself his masculinity is not diminished and he is still "hot" and ever so desirable.

Other questionable themes are the relationship of Brian and Justin, beginning when Justin was just 17 and Brian 29. This show pushes the boundaries. Seventeen is almost 18 so it's not really pedophilia. Controversial story lines in the series include: drug use/abuse, gay adoption, artificial insemination, underage prostitution, (Michael and Ben adopt a teen gay hustler who is HIV positive), drag queens, (Michael's biological dad is a drag queen), internet porn and bug chasers...HIV-negative individuals who actively seek to become HIV-positive...why?

I'M A TOTAL HETEROPHOBE (Brian Kinney)

IN CONCLUSION, this series left me feeling completely upside down. There was little I could relate to from my world. The characters were emotionally indulgent creatures who lost the ability to relate in a normal way to others. Their lifestyles were obsessive-compulsive and addictive.

The characters were self-absorbed narcissists and all leaned heavily to overcompensation. I felt the take-home message was that society at large (heterosexual) should celebrate their sexual exploits and neurosis.

I feel this series is another form of human Terra-forming. Molding the masses to the Illuminati grand plan. My only hope is that there are those of us who remember what a moral, just, and pure life can be. A life absent of the obsessive pursuit of carnal desires. Where tenderness, respect, generosity and real affection rule.

Comments for ""Queer As Folk" show Made Me Nauseous "

Glenn said (May 20, 2013):

Well written article by Sasha. I'm sure Sasha took little pleasure in the research component prior to writing.

I may have stumbled upon something that might reinforce the argument that gays are being used by the illuminati to weaken us morally and spiritually, thus break us further into their compliance. I wondered who was the brainchild behind queer as folk, and it appears Daniel Lipman and Ron Cowen were a gay, Jewish couple.

If you read the attachment below, some readers may be surprised that the ' producers' met with flak from their own gay community, as it did not accurately portray gay life. So not only does it appear that the content of ' queer as folk ', was received as offensive by heterosexuals, but possibly from many quarters of the homosexual community as well.

http://www.omnilexica.com/?q=ron+cowen

Was it meant to degrade homosexuals too ?

If not, why all the depraved animalistic loveless sodomy and fornication ?

Glenn

The show's portrayal sounds pretty accurate to me and the producers defended it as such.

Gays are notoriously prone to self denial and self delusion, and many would find this mirror image as disgusting as heterosexuals do, and would like to disavow it.

JG said (May 20, 2013):

Very disturbing! There seems to be a big misconception about the propagators of this kind of trash. They believe these people to be normal heterosexuals that have an agenda to pervert the masses. Not true, most of these "agents of Satan" are gay themselves. It's like believing that drug dealers aren't drug users when in most cases they are. A lot of what goes on here in the American Cinema goes on in Israel. This is an attempt to create a "learned behavior" void of all morality and purity.

The Conceit that FDR Was Not a Communist (like Obama)

May 18, 2013

(left, Stalin & FDR, two sides of the same coin)

"Romerstein & Evans give the impression that Roosevelt himself was left in the dark about the nest of spies around him."
Even historians of Communist subversion cover up for FDR, says Dave Martin. Whittaker Chambers was a GRU (KGB) agent who in 1938 told Assistant Sec of State (for National Security) Adolf Berle the Roosevelt administration was crawling with Soviet agents, including FDR's key adviser Alger Hiss.

FDR told Berle to f**k himself. Clearly Roosevelt (and Stalin) were traitors, puppets of the Illuminati Jewish banker cabal. But no historian can admit "anti-Communism" (or rather US patriotism) was and is a charade.

Stalin's Secret Agents: The Subversion of Roosevelt's Government
by Dave Martin
(abridged by henrymakow.com)

(Whittaker Chambers, left )

Isaac Don Levine, the man who set up and took part in the Whittaker Chambers-Adolf Berle meeting confirms that FDR dismissed evidence of Soviet spy infiltration.

"When I called on Berle a couple of weeks later, he indicated to me that the President had given him the cold shoulder after hearing his account of the Chambers disclosures. Although I learned later, from two different sources who had social relations with Berle, that Roosevelt, in effect, had told him to "go jump in a lake" upon the suggestion of a probe into the Chambers charges, I do not recall hearing that exact phrase from Berle. To the best of my recollection, the President dismissed the matter rather brusquely with an expletive remark on this order: "Oh, forget it, Adolf." Eyewitness to History: Memoirs and Reflections of a Foreign Correspondent for Half a Century, pp. 197-8 (1975)

It is very, very hard to come to any other conclusion than that [Evans and Romerstein,] who could well be described as America's leading surviving Red hunters, are covering up for Franklin D. Roosevelt. That impression is greatly reinforced by Evans in a presentation he made to The Heritage Foundation, which one can listen to here. He is asked specifically about Roosevelt's complicity in permitting his government to be laced by Communist agents, and Evans attributes it all to FDR's naiveté. Perhaps someone should have also asked him about the failure of the FBI in all this, the people who have the national responsibility for counter-espionage. But the FBI ultimately works for the president. He had the power to make them stand down, and there is every indication that that is just what he did.

Further indication that the authors are covering up for Roosevelt is their failure to mention at all the Soviet defector Walter Krivitsky,left. Krivitsky, as former chief of Soviet intelligence in Europe, knew a good deal more about Soviet infiltration of the U.S. government than Chambers did. But instead of being embraced and welcomed by the Roosevelt administration, he was harassed by them. In February of 1941 he was found dead of a gunshot wound to the head in a Washington, DC, hotel room. The District police ruled the death a suicide after only a cursory investigation. Who would have had the power to, in effect, make the DC police stand down on this one?

The authors do talk about the very well connected Soviet spy, Michael Straight, who as publisher of The New Republic hired Henry Wallace as editor, but they have no reference to the extremely revealing biography Last of the Cold War Spies: The Life of Michael Straight, by Australian journalist Roland Perry.   Perhaps that is because Perry, like Levine in his similarly ignored book, has a lot to say about Walter Krivitsky. Perry even suggests that Straight, a family friend of the Roosevelt's working for the State Department at the time and feeling threatened, was involved in Krivitsky's assassination. (See the review by Wes Vernon.)

First Comment by Dan:

What Whittaker Chambers tried to give Berle was the facts and names of the entire GRU network in DC, all of them Federal employees embedded in New Deal bureaucracy. Chambers wrote in his autobiography 'Witness' that weeks after the meeting and nothing happened, it dawned on Chambers that Berle wasn't to do anything at all because FDR's liberals knew they were working with the Communist party. The joke was on the Communists.

Chambers explains further that to fully understand you have to look deeper to see the hidden agenda of the New Deal.

"And with astonishment I took my first hard look at the New Deal. . . . All the New Dealers I had known were Communists or near-Communists. None of them took the New Deal seriously as an end in itself. They regarded it as an instrument for gaining their own revolutionary ends. I myself thought of the New Deal as a reform movement that, in social and labor legislation, was belatedly bringing the United States abreast of Britain or Scandinavia."

"I saw that the New Deal was only superficially a reform movement. I had to acknowledge the truth of what its more forthright protagonists, sometimes unwarily, sometimes defiantly, averred: The New Deal was a genuine revolution, whose deepest purpose was not simply reform within existing traditions, but a basic change in the social, and above all, the power relationships within the nation."
...the basic point of the revolution -- the shift of power from business to government -- the two kinds of revolutionists were at one; and they shared many other views and hopes. Thus men who sincerely abhorred the word Communism, in the pursuit of common ends found that they were unable to distinguish Communists from themselves".

It's too bad that only the elite coterie of the modern conservative movement represented by the National Review could appreciate the subtlety of Chamber's insight into the scope of the New Deal. The New Deal was Plato's Republic masquerading as social justice liberalism. Crises were used to leverage massive changes affecting most aspects of social and individual life in America. New Deal policies changed the way people did things. It took women out of the homes and put them to work in factories, it moved youth to the cities, and young men out of the country.

Comments for "The Conceit that FDR Was Not a Communist (like Obama)"

Alphonse said (May 19, 2013):

Coincidentally, I am currently reading this very book (arrived down here on May 14 in the same box with Guido G. PreparattaÂ?s Who Financed Hitler), but, as I am also a Makow reader, it struck me just by reading pages 64 and 65 (I decided to start the book by its chapter 5 while on the bus back home from work) that the authors were not following the evidence to where it leads.

Well, I think you can imagine my happiness upon reading your abridged version of Mr. MartinÂ?s review; I mean, my happiness at finding that I am getting the same picture and arriving at the same conclusions as those who are years ahead of me in the study of history. This is so because I have been reading savethemales.ca since December 2010.

Now, while I find it pretty lammentable that scholars like M. Stanton Evans (or Olavo de Carvalho) will not fully connect the dots, I do think it is because they... have bills to pay. As Brother Nathanael Kapner once aptly said: "The truth will not only set you free, but it will get you fired as well." That is why I cut M. Stanton Evans, Ann Coulter and Olavo de Carvalho so much slack, while learning my intellectual integrity lessons from Michael A. Hoffman, E. Michael Jones, Robert Sungenis, Henry Makow and such as them.

Then again, heaping thanks, Dr. Makow. Keep up your excellent work.

Henrique said (May 18, 2013):

Yes there is a movement inside the conservative ranks, linked with Jewish/Zionist interests, to blame everything wrong in the World with "DA EVIL LEFT". Everything is the left, no matter what; if it's evil, it's them, cause they're always scheming to destroy our cherished "Judeo-Christian" values ( whatever those are ).
These people seem to capitalize on the fear factor and naivetè of religious people in the lower-middle classes to galvanize support for the New Crusade bullcrap ( Islam is the new strategic ally of DA EVIL LEFT ).

The truth is they're both wings of the same bird, and you need to be too dumb to think that the CIA, the FBI, NSA ( or equivalents ) and the vast unknown intelligence underworld were "unaware" of all these Soviet spies, or couldn't do anything about them. My view is that the whole underworld is connected, and in reality one and the same structure ( CIA, FBI, MI-6/5, MOSSAD, Saudis, etc.) with many fronts in different colors, wrapped in different flags to fool the "unenlightened". Like they do with about everything else - even the different religions of the world, if analyzed by their esoteric side, are all the same.

These new books being put out now, "Stalin's War", "Stalin's Secret Agents", Stalin this, Stalin that...is it possible that only one man was able to con the whole world so many times in a row, and with such subtlety? Obviously not; more myth for the myth-minded.

JG said (May 18, 2013):

Communism was an "idealistic sham" from the beginning and claimed many Christian fatalities along the way. It sought to usurp God and replace him with a Talmudic philosophy of a "master race" of people that would rule planet Earth and enslave the racially inferior masses. Nothing has changed about it today other than the name, it's now called the NWO.

When Communism overthrew the Christian Monarchy in Russia the churches were burned and large statues of Communist leaders were erected in their place. This was to be for the "deification of man" and not God.

US Military - Men Suffer More Sex Assaults than Women

May 17, 2013

With 1,219,510 men serving in 2010, if only 17 percent of all male "rape" victims reported, does this mean 62,941 military men were sexually assaulted by other men that year?

Proportionally, attacks on women are much greater; but there are more male victims by number.
And this was before "Don't Ask; Don't Tell" was repealed.

"Shock Report; 10,700 Men Raped in US Military"
By Judith A. Reisman, Ph.D., and Thomas R. Hampson
(Edited by henrymakow.com)

The best-kept military secret is that most sexual assaults in the US military are now homosexual, male-on-male sexual exploitation.

The Washington Times reported March 13: "The Defense Department estimates 19,000 sexual assaults occur each year, but only 17 percent are ever reported. In 2010 ... 8,600 victims were female, and 10,700 victims were male."

Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Brian Lewis stated he "was raped by a senior petty officer ... told by a commander not to report it, and later was diagnosed with a personality disorder and discharged."

Lewis says, "As I demonstrated, men are a majority of the victims in the military. DoD's infamous 'Ask her when she's sober' marginalizes male survivors and sends a message that men cannot be raped and therefore are not real survivors."

With 1,219,510 men serving in 2010, if only 17 percent of all male "rape" victims reported, does this mean, that 62,941 military men were sexually assaulted by other men that year?

Does this mean "only" 5.16 percent of our bravest and best male servicemen were sexually violated by other lust-dominance-driven servicemen in 2010?

Were these damning data widely known and debated before the ban on homosexuality was lifted in 2011?

If not, why not? Precisely when did this traumatic rate of military sodomism abuse begin? Did it begin increasing when the "don't ask, don't tell" policy was implemented?

Indeed, whether or not such outrageous male sexual assault estimates are 10,700 or 62,941, these crimes ...could be a significant cause for the massive increase in military suicides - and revengeful violence.

True, "The military is 85 percent men and 15 percent women." Still, according to the Naval Personnel Command (2012 Sexual Assault Awareness Month Training Guide), "about 56 percent of estimated sexual assaults in our military are men, and 44 percent are women."

PORNOGRAPHY

The politically correct Naval report ignores the Big Porn Elephant in the room as normalizing the homosexist assaults on fellow servicemen.

While "heterosexual" pornography has commonly been used to arouse and then seduce "straights" into homosexual sex, "gay" pornography is widely available in mainstream homosexist publications like The Advocate Classified.

And, buff, "straight" military men are regularly depicted there as preferred, sexual targets.

Now (May 7) comes the Military Times reporting that Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel ordered inspection of all military offices and workplaces worldwide to root out any "materials that create a degrading or offensive work environment."

Last year, Air Force officers searched "troops' desks and cubicles in search of photos, calendars, magazines, screen-savers, computer files and other items that might be considered degrading toward women."

There was no mention of confiscating pornographic items degrading toward men.

The cleanup is a long time a comin'. In 1998 the U.S. Supreme Court upheld The Military Honor & Decency Act partly due to "the special circumstances of the military environment, in which the appearance of professionalism and proper conduct is critical."

On July 1, Frank Rush, acting assistant secretary of defense for force management, signed DoD Instruction 4105.70, banning "Sale or Rental of Sexually Explicit Material on DoD Property."

"We need a cultural change where every service member is treated with dignity and respect," said Secretary Hagel, announcing new initiatives to prevent sexual assault.

"Hagel also unveiled the Defense Department's annual report on sexual assault, which estimates that about 26,000 troops experienced some form of "unwanted sexual contact" during the past year. That's roughly one in every 50 troops in the active-duty force.

But, if 10,700 men and 8,600 women reported the euphemized "unwanted sexual contact" - and if only 17 percent of victims report, how does this reduce to 26,000 military victims? The official reports seem contradictory.

Secretary Hagel wants to eliminate pornography to "really drive the cultural change." Of course, we can have no honorable or trustworthy military until all vestiges of pornography - from cartoons to Internet adverts, videos, films, calendars and phones, and the rapists and sodomites it trains and justifies - are excised from military service, from the Pentagon elites to the privates under them.

Now, does this mean the elite 5,200 child pornography users at the Pentagon will finally be arrested and tried? For, indeed there are "charms By which the property of youth and maidhood may be abused."

Comments for "US Military - Men Suffer More Sex Assaults than Women "

Dan said (May 18, 2013):

Confirmed in 2012 that the men and women that man the United States top secret nuclear missile stations 24/7 were watching non-stop pornography.

There's a reason for this. Pornography puts the viewer in an altered state of consciousness which has been thoroughly studied. Israeli-American sociologist Dan Ariely did a study testing normal students sexual preferences and limits in a 'cold state' - that's normal consciousness in public. Then he had them privately watch pornography and tested them again. In a state of arousal, the students said they'd try all the perversions listed that had repelled them in the 'cold state'. Not only is there a lowering of inhibition, there's a will to do evil.. Ariely calls it the Jekyll - Hyde effect.

So pornography and homosexual rape culture is being deployed in the US military to erase qualms American soldiers had in Vietnam and previous wars when it came to following genocidal orders.

Knights of Columbus are NOT Masons says Hernando, a Spanish Reader

Knights of Columbus are NOT Masons says Hernando, a Spanish Reader

I have just seen this article saying that The Knights of Columbus are Masons?
Come on!
Here you have the web and the history of the Knights of Columbus, founded by a priest and giving honours to the Virgin Mary (Mother for Us, the Catholics), to the Pope, etc.
http://www.kofc.org/en//index.html
According to this point of view, even all the Catholics could be "secret or infiltrated" Masons.

The priest of my Parish Church could be a secret mason.
The Bishop of my diocese could be mason.
And all the 1.000 millions of Catholics could be masons. The world upside-down!
This person says that the Klu-Klux-Klan was catholic or christian?
Not at all, sir. The fact that they burn a cross in their meetings or rituals don't mean that they were Christians as an association. Perhaps some of the KKK members could be covert Catholics or Christians but NOT the association officially.

The symbols.

Here in Spain, the Civil Guard (a Police Corp) also has the FASCIO, as a symbol, but is not a mason society. The fascio comes from the Romans and in Spain, my country, there were Romans, and called this country HISPANIA.
Probably the Civil Guard (Police, Police, Police) took this symbol as precedent from the Romans or simply as a group symbol, meaning that this Police would be united and grouped as a corp to prosecute the delinquents, NOT AS MASONS, PLEASE!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Guard_(Spain)

One could ask then: Do they have the crown in their logo because they only serve the King and Queen? NOOO!! They have this symbol of the crown because in Spain we have as a political system a Parliamentary Monarchy and even our shield in Spain has a crown, though many people would prefer to have a Republic.

Conclusion:

Some people, IGNORANT of the real and authentic meaning of things don't interpret things adequately. What I have to hear today is:

1) The Knights of Columbus, founded by an Irish priest who wanted to help the inmigrants to New England, and that forms a society with good relationships with the Church, within the orthodoxy of Catholics belief (faith, Virgin Mary, Pope, etc) is... MASON ?

2) A symbol as the "fascio", the Roman fascio (unknown in the other side of the Atlantic Ocean because the Romans weren't there, is interpreted as... MASON? when there is a Police Corp in Spain called "Guardia Civil" (or Civil Guard) that has the same symbol. Perhaps the Civil Guard is also... MASON? I don't think so, because dozens and dozens of members of the Civil Guard in Spain have been assassinated by the terrorist group ETA (this is not, as in USA think, a separatist group of the Basque Country, but a TERRORIST GROUP who has murdered around 1.000 people (police, judges, politicians, journalists, civil people, children...)

A Canadian Jew Wakes up by S

I grew up in a traditional Conservative Jewish home in Toronto (USDS day school, shul, etc).

My parents made Aliyah with our family in 1982, and I finished high school in an Orthodox school.

As we were planning on staying in Israel I volunteered for the army after highschool to serve 3 years in the Golani Infantry Brigade. The first year was great and I actually was awarded outstanding cadette after basic training.

Then things went downhill after we were sent to serve in the West-Bank (Ramallah, Schem, Jenin).

One night we were sent out to arrest "troublemakers" who'd been seen attacking Israeli patrols. The troublemakers in question turned out to be 2 youths, aged 10 & 13. After arresting them (moms screaming) we took them to the municipality, and the first was sent up while we guarded the second (13 year old) whose hands and feet were bound and was lying on the floor of our truck. The driver started to beat him mercilessly, and I stepped in to stop, saying "he's only a boy".

This guy then grabbed a night stick and came at me calling me a "dirty traitor of the Jewish people" and other expletives.
My friends in my unit separated us, but I was shaken to the core.

Then several months later the first Intifada broke out (Dec 1987) and all hell broke loose in the "shtachim". My ideological anchors of Zionism-Holocaust-Jewish people were shredded in the violence that was being perpetrated on innocent women and children. I could not make sense of what was happening and had a bit of a psychological breakdown that my family (then back in TO) couldn't relate to (and still can't 25 years later).

After many years of spiritual and political searching through psychotherapy, Buddhism, West-African and Native-American shamanism I finally came to a realization that God was still knocking on my door. But this is another story that I'd be happy to share later (I'm a single dad- go to get up for work/school in the morning).

Keep up the great work- more people are starting to "wake up" & God Bless,
