33: George Santos: New lies, who dis? Apr 27, 2023

Show notes

I normally pride myself by putting myself in anyone’s shoes, and when I attempted with George, I kept seeing a poor, desperate man willing to do anything to better his own life. I even think he used to be a good person, but at some point, someone gave him an amount, and he essentially sold his soul for money.
I wanted to see if we could find out as much of the truth as possible and maybe figure out who holds the leash of George Santos.

32: Incels: It's not you, it's Natural Selection Apr 13, 2023

Show notes

Everyone goes through a little self-pity occasionally. Some more than others. It’s one of those feelings where it’s all right to visit but not move in.
Believe it or not, self-pity can grow into a tumor of hatred and anger that, unless removed, can cause the owner of it to transform his feelings of “aww, no one wants to touch my peepee” into death and destruction for others.
I speak, of course, about Incels or Involuntary Celibate people.
This episode will take us into the lives on Incels and some extra rotten ones who allowed their hate to end the lives of others.

31: King James Vers....or Bottom? Mar 30, 2023

Show notes

This episode is all about the life and Rotten actions of King James of England. The clearly queerly man who is responsible for the commission of the King James Version of the Bible.
The KJV remains the most widely published text in the English language and was the work of close to fifty scholars. It has been printed between five to seven billion times in every language.
James wasn’t a very popular king, especially following in the footsteps of Elizabeth 1st. The commission of the Bible was his chance to gain popularity among his people and give them a book in their common tongue that they could read to control them out of fear…I mean spiritual guidance.
Join me to learn all about the male “good friends” of King James and the back door tunnels he took to get buggered by them.

30: Gilles de Rais Mar 16, 2023

Show notes

You know how history goes. Some “say it ain’t so,” while others say something different. The rotten man in question today helped Joan fulfill her self-proclaimed purpose, but he met an even worse fate than she did.
I am speaking about nobleman Gilles de Rais and his horrifying murder of hundreds of young children in his quest for salvation. I’m pretty sure murder is right up there in one of the “thou shalt nots.” I personally would have gone the charity route, but I’m a rebel like that.

29: Ilse Koch: Her Rotten Soul was Fed with Needle and Thread Mar 02, 2023

Show notes

What did Mrs. Koch do you say? Well, a number of things. Including being married to a sadistic SS officer and going above and way beyond joining him in his job of overseeing death camps for Hitler. Now, when I say above and beyond, I mean some twisted stuff. For starters, if she liked a prisoner's skin or tattoos. She would have them taken for “special studies,” and they were killed and skinned. Then she would take that skin and either hand-make or force other prisoners to make accessories and home decor out of it. One of her favorites was a handbag she would often carry with her.
