An Astonishing State of Disarray 

The media, specifically CNN, never ceases to provide the American people with stunning reminders of just how low they are willing to stoop in the name of increased viewership. The newsfeed has been even more dichotomous than usual with the resurgence of the Earth’s prodigal child, Greta Thunberg. She was invited to be a guest on a special episode of CNN’s “Coronavirus: Facts and Fears” town hall discussion. Obviously, this particular town hall episode was intended to examine the current state of the COVID-19 pandemic. Subsequently, Ms. Thunberg’s lack of credibility in the medical field quickly became the hot topic for discussion. And that discussion quickly evolved into hysteria, as the American people once again lost their minds over the convictions of a seventeen-year-old Swedish girl.  

It is not just a matter of her qualifications. It could be argued that CNN wanted the perspective of a well-educated, well-traveled young person who is living through these bizarre times. However, that argument seems trite considering CNN is the mainstream media equivalent of “Fear Factor”, as they will shamelessly do anything for a story.  

                The reappearance of Thunberg caused the media’s right and left leaning sources to take to their fighting positions once again. The right has been feverishly demonizing this young lady, while the left continues to present her as the second coming of Al Gore. However, the real and very inconvenient truth of this matter is that both of those portrayals fail to accurately represent Thunberg. She is a young lady who has been exploited by the American media in a grandiose fashion.   


                Greta Thunberg became the cannon-fodder for front-page articles and internet memes alike, after her famous, “you have stolen my dreams and my childhood” speech went viral in 2018. Her passionate delivery of that shot her into the stratosphere of climate control “experts”. She is now back in the public eye, as people have had an absolute field day by dissecting whether or not she is credible enough to speak on the global pandemic. However, that debate is as pedantic as it is redundant. She is by no means a medical professional, properly suited to provide the American people with credible information regarding the global pandemic. But neither is CNN.  


                CNN’s “Coronavirus: Facts and Fears” town hall is a desperate grab for viewers. It is not something that any human with a shred of intelligence should have watched with the intention of gaining knowledge. CNN pulled Thunberg out of obscurity because they knew there was a little bit more, they could ring out of her.


                Greta Thunberg is just a teenage girl whose genuine passion for the environment has been destroyed by the medias propensity to sensationalize the wrong topics. The media could not give less of a shit about Thunberg or the environment. Our climate should not be a divisive political issue, it should be a universally recognized necessity to just take care of our beautiful planet. But that is just not the world we live in.

 There is undeniably a slew of issues associated with the Earth’s climate, some as a result of the current pandemic. But we are not going to solve them by getting upset at the opinions of someone that is not even old enough to purchase their own cigarettes. 

                The entire world is in an astonishing state of disarray and here we are wasting brain cells debating over teenage-girls and the weather.

Alive and Well:

The Racism that Killed Ahmaud Arbery

              On February 23^rd, 2020 Ahmaud Arbery simply went out for an afternoon run in a neighborhood outside of Brunswick, Georgia. But due to the fact that blatant racism fueled by ignorant rage is still alive and well in certain parts of this country, that would be the last thing he ever did. A father and son, Gregory and Travis McMichael, spotted Ahmaud doing two things: being black and being their neighborhood. And that was apparently enough justification for the McMichael’s to elect themselves to the roles of judge and executioner. 

There had been a string of break-ins in their neighborhood, and according to Travis, Ahmaud fit the description of the suspected burglar. He “fit the description” by being African American. After admittedly being uncertain of whether or not Ahmaud was armed, or more importantly, the actual suspect, Gregory and his son jumped into their white Ford F-150 and began their pursuit of an innocent man. They followed him down the road in some sort of, “KKK” style neighborhood watch exited the vehicle, pulled guns on him, started a physical confrontation with him, and fired three shots during the altercation that subsequently killed him. These two imbeciles decided to take the life of an unarmed human being because they were speculative and threatened by the color of his skin. This was a hate crime by every feasible definition.

              It is now May 7^th, 2020 and neither of the murderous racists that took Ahmaud’s life have so much as seen the inside of a courtroom. 

              Apart from being a sixty-four-year-old blood-thirsty bigot, Gregory McMichael was a former police officer for Glynn County, before working for the District Attorney’s office in Brunswick until he retired in May of 2019. When you examine Gregory’s history as a member of law enforcement in the same area that the murder took place, in conjunction with the Glynn County Police departments leisurely pace in this case’s investigation, it just seems a little too coincidental. There is damning video evidence of Gregory driving the vehicle that his son jumps out of and moments later kills Ahmaud. And these two are still walking the streets, free of any charges.

              It has been nearly three months since Ahmaud was murdered by Gregory and Travis McMichael. and this story is just now getting the attention it deserves. But that’s only come after months of his family making waves through social media. This is an absolutely vile display of racism that needs to be met with proper justice.

              I have attached the video of Ahmaud being shot to death while out for a jog. View at your own discretion. But, please share this article and the video to ensure that the names, Gregory and Travis McMichael are remembered through time as convicted murders and racists as their actions have proven.

No matter the connections the McMichael’s may have. Regardless of Gregory’s past as a civil servant. And despite any information outside of these transposed events. It is our goal to ensure that Gregory and Travis are brought to justice as the despicable creatures they are. They deserve nothing more than an eternity to rot as away in infamy, persisted only through a legacy of filth.
