Gay Identity Geopolitics



"We have always been proud of our nation. But we do not claim to be any sort of superpower with a claim to global or regional hegemony; we do not encroach on anyone’s interests, impose our patronage onto anyone, or try to teach others how to live their lives. But we will strive to be leaders, defending international law, striving for respect and national sovereignty and peoples’ independence and identity

This is absolutely objective and understandable for a state like Russia, with its great history and culture, with many centuries of experience, not so-called tolerance, neutered and barren, but the actual common, natural life of different peoples within the framework of a single state.

Today, many nations are revising their moral values and ethical norms, eroding ethnic traditions and differences between peoples and cultures. 

Society is now required not only to recognise everyone’s right to the freedom of consciousness, political views and privacy, but also to accept without question the equality of good and evil, strange as it seems, concepts that are opposite in meaning. 

This destruction of traditional values from above not only leads to negative consequences for society, but is also essentially anti-democratic, since it is carried out on the basis of abstract, speculative ideas, contrary to the will of the majority, which does not accept the changes occurring or the proposed revision of values."

"In 1991, Masha Gessen, a journalist on assignment, arrived in Moscow, her childhood home. 

[ Firstly, she's not Russian, she's a Polish Jew born in the Soviet Union. She is an implacable enemy of Russia. ]

Ten years earlier, she and her family had immigrated to the United States for the perennial reasons: to escape anti-Semitism and find opportunity. "

Yeah - if a family of Ashkenazim Jews were able to emigrate (and defect) from Moscow to Boston in 1984, by definition there isn't any anti-Semitism.

Jews were allowed to leave the USSR and fast-tracked to the front of the queue - anyone else attempting to defect or emigrate at that time risked going to prison for ten years.

"Peacetime brought horrors of its own, including state-sponsored persecution of Jews in the Soviet Union.

Ruzya, now a war widow and single mother desperate for work, faced a paralyzing decision: She could teach history or take a government position as a "political editor" in other words, a censor. Choosing the latter, Ruzya felt that at least she would not be lying to schoolchildren. Over the years, she worked hard, cultivated detachment, and never tried to ennoble her choice, telling Gessen candidly, "I acquiesced to the circumstances that life had forced on me."

Gessen devotes a section of her memoir to her efforts to learn about Jakub Goldberg, Ester's father, and his role on the Judenrat in the Bialystok ghetto. Did he resist the Nazis? Collaborate with them? Did his actions save or at least prolong lives?"

[ Fascist collaboration runs in the family. ]




“I agree that we should have the right to marry, but I also think equally that it is a no-brainer that the institution of marriage should not exist… 

Fighting for gay marriage generally involves lying about what we’re going to do with marriage when we get there, because we lie that the institution of marriage is not going to change, and that is a lie. 

The institution of marriage is going to change, and it should change, and again, I don’t think it should exist.”

Again - this is fascism.

"We have three kids and five parents…more or less, and I don’t see why they shouldn’t have five parents legally.” 

Because that's what an aunt is.

"I don't see why we should take two of those five parents and turn them into a sanctioned couple."

Because one of these "parents" (the sperm-donor) is your own brother - which sort of almost makes you married to your own brother, in your social fascist scheme of things.

I am not 


"The Americans want to adopt Russian children and bring them up in perverted families like Masha Gessen's."


Texas investigator found 30+ bruises, cuts on dead boy adopted from Russia

Authorities: Adopted Russian boy's death an accident
A 3-year-old adopted boy -- whose death in West Texas has drawn stern criticism from Russia -- had more than 30 bruises, cuts and other marks on his body soon after he was pronounced dead, according to a report from a Texas medical examiner obtained by CNN.

Along with his 2-year-old brother, Max Shatto arrived in the United States with his adoptive parents in November 2012. Just more than two months later, his adoptive mother told authorities that she found him unresponsive in the family's Gardendale, Texas, backyard. He was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at a nearby hospital.

Soon after Max's death on January 21, Russia's top child rights advocate tweeted that the boy had been "killed" or "murdered." Children's Rights Commissioner Pavel Astakhov later acknowledged he might have spoken too soon -- though he has remained highly critical of the U.S. handling of the case.

Russia slams Texas prosecutors for not charging parents

The documents were obtained Thursday from the medical examiner's offices for Ector County and Tarrant County. They offered more details from the account by Laura and Alan Shatto about the boy's time in America as well as the condition of his body at the time of his death.

Russia's consul general in Houston has received the report, said Yevgeniy Khorishko, a spokesman with Russia's embassy in Washington. Russian officials will review the findings, but until then they have no comment.

An investigator with the Ector County office who examined Max's body externally soon after his death documented 31 bruises, abrasions, scratches and other issues from head-to-toe, according to the death investigative report.

Both parents in the report claimed that the boy -- who they and a doctor said was born to an alcoholic mother -- would try to hurt himself in various ways.

Russia concerned over adopted boy's cause of death

"They stated that (Max) was displaying behaviors such as banging his head on the bathtub, throwing himself down, holding his breath and clawing himself," wrote investigator Sondra Woolf.

A Denton, Texas, doctor told authorities that after examining the child's deteriorating condition during a second visit and listening to the parents' accounts, he prescribed the boy Risperidone, an antipsychotic medication. The Shattoes said they first gave Max the drug on January 15 but stopped on January 18, concerned it was affecting his ability to swallow, the report said.

Laura Shatto told authorities that she last saw Max outside, believing he was about to go on a slide, just before she went inside to use the bathroom. She came out to find him prone on the ground, and she called his name and shook him vigorously before calling 911.

The documents also included a preliminary autopsy report conducted by the Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office, completed on January 23.

Medical Examiner Lloyd White wrote to his colleagues in Ector County, "Based on the findings at this point, I suggest laceration of small bowel mesentry due to blunt trauma to (the) abdomen as the cause of death. I'll leave the manner of death up to you pending investigation.

[ Sounds to me as though he was buggered to death ]

"On the whole, there appears to be a strong likelihood that this death was accidental, probably the consequence of a fall from playground equipment in his yard."

[ But that's not enough, he would nI think we may have a Satanist-Paedophile Medical Examiner, here - note the wordsmithing. "Playground equipment" is usually constructed of metal and steel and could cause serious damage if you fell on it, particularly below the ribcage; back yard toys are typically constructed from mainly soft plastics and occasionally aluminium frames and generally wouldn't, unless you were especially unlucky in how and where you fell ]

The Ector County medical examiner later concluded that Max Shatto's death was accidental, finding that the bruises and other issues were consistent with a "self-inflicted" injury, District Attorney Bobby Bland said March 1.

Astakhov had accused the adoptive mother of killing the boy and giving him "psychotropic substances," Russia's state-run RIA Novosti news agency reported.

[ Anti-psychotics are psychotropic drugs, and the Russian authorities known what they are talking about when it comes to medicating dissidents and malcontents ]

But toxicology reports came back negative, and there were no substances found that could have contributed to the child's death.

[ So they weren't giving him his medicine - this suggests that perhaps he was never sick and the injuries themselves were in no way self-inflicted. Well, obviously. ]

Soon after the news came out that Max's death had been deemed accidental, Russia's Foreign Ministry expressed concerns and noted it did not receive the information from U.S. officials but rather from the media. It asked the United States to give Russian consular representatives the relevant forensic documents, including a death certificate.

A few weeks later, Astakhov again slammed Texas authorities -- this time after they decided not to charge the adoptive parents.
Bland announced March 18 that a grand jury had declined to indict Laura and Alan Shatto, adding that they'd found no evidence to charge the people and stating the boy died of a "tragic accident."

[ A tragic buggery accident ]

The Russian child rights advocate responded to that development with a tweet, reported by a RIA Novosti, claiming the district attorney hadn't done enough to the investigate the death of the boy also known as Maxim Kuzmin.

"The Texas prosecutors' position in the case of Maxim Kuzmin is upsetting because they refused to scrutinize the circumstances of his death," Astakhov wrote.

The boy's death aggravated U.S. State Department efforts to push through more than 500 adoption cases in which American families have already begun the process to adopt a Russian child before Moscow in December passed a law banning adoptions of Russian children by Americans.

That law bans adoptions by Americans ostensibly because of documented cases of abuse by adoptive parents. But others say the Russian move is in retaliation for a U.S. law that places restrictions on Russian human rights abusers.

Americans adopted close to 1,000 Russian children last year, according to State Department figures.

Though the number has dropped in recent years, Russia remains the third-most popular foreign country after China and Ethiopia for U.S. foreign adoptions.





You can't force your morality onto people with legislation and it inflicts incalculable harm on the cause of gay rights and gay liberation worldwide by making the cause seem petty, self-obsessed and trivial at a time when the vast majority of the gay population globally are still closeted and struggling daily to assert their right not to be lynched.

Respect must be earned - you can't just lobby government to force people to respect and honour those rights which you actually already have by writing new laws just to get an endorsement from Attitude when the next set of elections roll back around again.


The Collaboration : Hollywood's Pact with Nazi Germany



Adolf Hitler considered Charlie Chaplin to be one of the greatest actors he had ever seen, even though Hitler assumed that Chaplin was a Jew.

Adolf Hitler banned The Great Dictator in Germany and in all countries occupied by the Nazis. Curiosity got the better of him though, and he had a print brought in through Portugal. History records that he screened it twice, in private, but history did not record his reaction to the film. 

Charlie Chaplin said, "I'd give anything to know what he thought of it." 

For political reasons in Germany, the ban stayed after the end of WWII until 1958.
The House of Rothschild (1934) from Spike EP on Vimeo.
This work is in the public domain.

"The film begins at the home of Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1744-1812) and his wife Guttle Schnapper (1770–1812). As one of their sons sees the taxman coming, they hurry and hide their wealth, including currency, silver, etc. However, the taxman finds some of it hidden in the basement, and decides to charge Rothschild less than the amount due, but keep the money with him. Later, as Mayer Amschel Rothschild is lying on his deathbed, he instructs his five sons to start banks in different countries across Europe: Amschel Mayer Rothschild (1773-1855) in Germany, Salomon Mayer von Rothschild (1774-1855) in Austria, Nathan Mayer Rothschild (1777-1836) in England, Carl Mayer von Rothschild (1788-1855) in Italy, and James Mayer de Rothschild (1792-1868) in France.

As they fund the Napoleonic Wars of 1803–1815, they aim to gain respectability from the European nobility, which shuns them and refuses to treat them as equals because they are Jews.

However, at the end of film, the House of Rothschild buys when all of society sells their own country stock, and because of faith became the rich and respected through a moral decision to buy against the tyranny over Jews."

BBC Caught Lying About Syria Chemical Weapons Attack to Bolster Casefor War & Reigime Change (2013)




Media Manipulation and “Discrepancies”: BBC Admits Switching Pictures and Video Footage


Response from Complaints Director, BBC Editorial Complaints Unit :


Dear Mr Stuart

Thank you for your email.

I hope I can clarify the points I was attempting to make.

In your initial email to BBC Complaints you said:

Please can you explain precisely why this change was made, why it was unacknowledged, what the source or sources of the substituted images were, whether Laura Kuenssberg’s narration which continued to inform audiences that the substituted film was “shown for the first time” “just as MPs voted” – i.e. on the evening of Thursday 29 August 2013 – was accurate and how the re-editing of the programme in this manner accords with BBC Editorial Standards?

I therefore understood you to have asked four separate questions:

why this change was made

why it was unacknowledged

what the source or sources of the substituted images were

whether Laura Kuenssberg’s narration which continued to inform audiences that the substituted film was “shown for the first time” “just as MPs voted” – i.e. on the evening of Thursday 29 August 2013 – was accurate and how the re-editing of the programme in this manner accords with BBC Editorial Standards?


As I explained, only one of those (the final point) is an issue which the ECU can address. I will await your further email by 16 June before I begin an investigation into the replacement of the footage and whether it led to a led to a breach of the BBC’s editorial standards.

In response to your comment about the paragraph in my email which you found “astonishing”, I can only say the point I was making was that there is no formal policy which obliges BBC News to inform viewers that footage has been changed or to confirm when asked the source of material used. It is a matter for BBC News to decide whether to provide that information. I will however consider in my forthcoming investigation whether the material which was inserted into the BBC News Channel report met the requirements of the Editorial Guidelines on Accuracy, bearing in mind the script line.

Finally, I have asked the relevant BBC managers to look into your concerns about the time it took to handle your complaint at Stage 1, and I will forward their response when I send you the ECU’s provisional finding. That will hopefully save you any further effort; I hope that is acceptable.

Yours sincerely

Yahud or Israeli

BBC – the Muslims say it is Islamophobic, we say it is anti-Semitic, all we know for sure is that they fiddle with kids - A to Zion, The Definitive Israeli Lexicon
The Zionist Jewish Chronicle reported today that a BBC documentary has substituted the word “Israelis” for "Jews" in its translation of interviews with Palestinians.

BBC film maker Lyse Doucet has stood by the decision to translate “yahud” as “Israeli” in the subtitles to her superb hour-long documentary, ‘Children of the Gaza War,’ which airs on BBC Two tonight.

The correct English translation for the Arabic word “yahud”  is “Jew”.

The JC reported that the BBC’s chief international correspondent said, “Palestinian children interviewed on the programme who refer to “the Jews” actually meant Israelis.”
In one instance, a Gazan child says the “yahud” are massacring Palestinians. However, the BBC subtitles read: “Israel is massacring us”.

There is no doubt that when the children of Gaza say Yahud they refer to Israelis. But they also refer to Jews. For the refugees in Gaza, this battle is an ethnic conflict between a foreign Jewish racist expansionist entity and the indigenous people of the land, namely the Palestinians.   

Israel defines itself as the ‘Jewish State’ and claims to act on behalf of world Jewry, yet the BBC has made a conscious decision to mistranslate the children of Gaza in order to make the children’s words politically correct.

In recent years the British broadcaster has acquired quite a bad reputation based upon its history of gross child abuse and cover ups. Maybe it is time for the BBC to learn how to respect children and to allow them to speak for themselves. 

The children are simply stating what they know to be true: 

Israel is the Jewish State. 

Israel commits war crimes in the name of world Jewry.

The Apollo Shibboleth: Yes, We Really Did Go to The Moon


Apollo Denialism serves a purpose - 

Specifically, the purpose it serves is that it suggest that the contribution of Nazi Rocket Scientists didn't significantly change the character and mission of the United States (and the USSR) from Day 1 of the Cold War.

Of course it did. 

Nazi Science was the plague on both our houses....

But what is the origin of the current form of this meme...?

Weaponised Fiction.

"In the film "Diamonds Are Forever", with Sean Connery playing the role of Agent 007 - James Bond, there is a curious and unexplained scene. He enters a secret research facility in the Nevada desert by ruse. Suddenly he finds himself in a large room in which there is an authentic moon land-scape. Lumbering about in their clumsy space suits are two would be astronauts. 

Nothing happens, the scene is not explained, and the viewer is left to ponder it's significance. 

Could it be...? Yes, it could! "

'RIGGED UK GENERAL ELECTION' - MAY 2015


Jim Messina (above) helped David Cameron's Conservatives to win the UK General election of May 2015.


Judicial Watch announced that it had "indisputable evidence" that the White House engaged in election tampering in at least two states in 2009.

Jim Messina and Rahm Emanuel, both top White House staffers at the time, are named as the chief perpetrators of the scheme to attempt to manipulate election outcomes in Pennsylvania and Colorado.


Kent Police are enquiring into electoral fraud in the Thanet South seat where the UKIP leader Nigel Farage (above) failed to be elected.

Kent Police said: 'Kent police have received a report of electoral fraud. Enquiries are on-going.'

The seat was won by Conservative candidate Craig Mackinlay, who got 18,838 votes compared with Farage's 16,026 in the general election. 

A spokesperson for UKIP said that UKIP did not make the complaint.

Kent Police consider allegation of electoral fraud 

Farage 

Many people claim that someone rigged the vote in Thanet South, where UKIP's Nigel Farage was defeated.

Many people cite:

1. The unusually long time it took for the votes to be counted.

Ballot papers going 'missing' for seven hours.

2. The UKIP success in the local elections in Thanet South, which were held at the same time.

In the General Election vote, UKIP's Farage lost by 2,812 votes to the Conservative candidate Craig Macinklay.

In the local election, Ukip gained overall control of Thanet council.


How come the Scottish independence referendum showed a large NO vote, and yet, a few months later, the Scottish National Party won 56 out of the 59 seats in Scotland?

There are many strange results in the UK general election held on 7 May 2015. 
On 29 April 2015, an opinion poll showed that in 50 key marginal seats, Labour was ahead of the Conservatives.

ITV News Conservative Labour Battlegrounds Poll « ComRes

The ITV News Battleground poll studied the fifty most marginal Conservative-held seats where Labour were second at the last election.

The results showed that Labour led the Conservatives by three points across these seats. 

Labour stood at 40% in these key battleground seats, with the Conservatives on 37%.

This represented a swing of 3.5 points from the Conservatives to Labour.

If these results had been replicated on election day, and if there were a uniform swing across all these constituencies, it would have seen Labour win forty of the fifty seats.

Many Conservative candidates in these constituencies were genuinely surprised when they actually won their seats.

In Cardiff North, a Lord Ashcroft poll had put Labour on 41%, ahead of the Conservatives (30%).

Yet the Conservatives won the seat.

It had been predicted by the political expert Ian Dale that Labour would win Brighton Kemptown.

Yet, the Conservatives's Simon Kirby beat Labour's Nancy Platts.

In Stroud, the Conservatives won, thus defying the bookmakers' predictions.

George Galloway says he has uncovered 'widespread malpractice' in postal voting, and says that the result in his constituency should be 'set aside'.

Stolen ballot papers could have been used to help the Conservatives win in certain key marginal seats.

On 29 April 2015, the BBC reported that a van containing more than 200,000 ballot papers had been stolen.

The ballot papers had been printed in London and were heading for Hastings and Rye and Eastbourne - ahead of voting in the general election on 7 May.

Police said it was believed the van was parked in Longbridge Road, Dagenham, at about 19:30. The theft was discovered at about 06:25.

Stolen van held Hastings and Eastbourne ballot papers - BBC

Rob Ford, senior lecturer in politics at the University of Manchester, noticed that the Conservatives succeeded in concentrating their votes "in the seats where it counted."


"The Tory vote went up four points in the key marginals it was defending from Labour and in the marginals it was looking to win from the Liberal Democrats.

"Conservative support was flat or falling" in many other areas.

Labour had been expected to win in Hastings and Rye.

In Hastings and Rye, the Conservative candidate Amber Rudd surprisingly won with 22,686 votes with Sarah Owen, Labour's candidate, receiving 17,890 votes.

The 1970 general election was won, unexpectedly, by the Conservative Edward Heath, a frequent visitor to the island of Jersey.

If there was vote rigging in the 2015 election, the main purpose was to give David Cameron a majority.

Only in a limited number of marginal constituencies would the vote need to be rigged.

The Powers-That-Be would not have wanted to save Member of Parliament John Hemming.

Hemming had helped Leah McGrath Goodman, who has been investigating the Jersey child abuse and Haut de la Garenne

Hemming lost his seat.

In the constituency of Norwich North, Lord Ashcroft's opinion poll placed Labour ahead of the Conservatives.

On polling day, "fears of defeat were initially thought to be growing" in the camp of the Conservative candidate Chloe Smith.

In the UK General election, the EXIT POLLS showed:

The Conservatives were expected to get 316 Members of Parliament, just short of a majority.

A party needs 326 MPs to have a majority.

Labour was expected to get 239 MPs.

The Liberal Democrats were expected to get only 10 MPs.

The Scottish Nationalists were expected to get 58 MPs.

Plaid Cymru 4, UKIP 2 and the Greens 2.


The EXIT POLLS conflict with the earlier OPINION POLLS which showed Conservatives and Labour neck and neck.

John Major, who won the 1992 election, was involved in the 1991 Gulf War.

In the 1992 general election, both the exit polls and the opinion polls suggested a Labour win, and yet the Conservatives under John Major were declared the winners.

Was the 1992 election rigged?

From the beginning of 1992 campaign, the parties were neck and neck in the opinion polls, with Labour fractionally ahead. 

The commentators predicted a hung parliament.

The exit polls suggested a hung parliament.

The official result was: Conservatives 42.8 per cent of the vote, Labour 35.2 per cent.

Brett Ratner of the Myer Lansky Organisation



". . . Take General Maximo Overkill, for instance. That’s his soldier of fortune’s nom de guerre. His real name is Gordon Novel, and he moves in those spooky circles which he calls “high strange,” where conspiracies flourish and cloak-and-dagger investigations overlap. He cut his teeth working for former New Orleans district attorney Jim Garrison on the J.F.K. assassination, and he boasts that he served as former attorney general Ramsey Clark’s “Doberman” at Waco. Several weeks before the trial began, I was put in touch with him through Steven Saltzman—the son of a James Bond–film producer—in Monaco, who told me that Michael Jackson’s brother Jermaine had been seeking Novel’s advice on how to stop the trial. According to Novel, the Jacksons believed that it was all a grand conspiracy, that the accuser’s mother was being paid by Jackson’s enemies, who wanted to take control of his major economic asset, the Sony/ATV Music catalogue, which holds publishing rights to 251 Beatles songs and works by scores of other pop artists. Jackson claimed that the main conspirators were Sony Records; its former president, Tommy Mottola; and Santa Barbara County district attorney Tom Sneddon, the prosecutor, who also investigated Jackson in 1993. The catalogue is held jointly by Jackson and Sony, and Jackson’s share is mortgaged for more than $200 million. If Jackson defaults, Sony has first chance to buy his half as early as this coming December. (A Sony spokesperson said, “We are not going to comment on any aspect of this.”)

Jackson explained to Novel that the conspirators had introduced him to Al Malnik, a wealthy Miami attorney who had once represented Meyer Lansky. Malnik later helped Jackson refinance his loans. That was not what Jackson told Novel, however. According to Novel, Jackson said he was lured to Malnik’s house in Miami Beach by film director Brett Ratner to see a house so beautiful it would make him catatonic. He said that once he was there, however, Malnik, who Jackson claimed had Mafia ties, wanted to put his fingers in the singer’s business. Jackson also said he received a call from Tommy Mottola while he was there, which aroused his suspicion, but he did not tell Novel that he later put Malnik on the board of the Sony/ATV Music partnership. (Reached by telephone, Malnik scoffed at the idea of a conspiracy or of his having any Mafia ties. He said, “It does not make any sense.” Ratner confirmed that he took Jackson to Malnik’s house and that he considers Malnik a father figure.)

Jackson and Mottola have been at odds for years. In New York in July 2002, Jackson staged a public protest against Mottola with the Reverend Al Sharpton, calling him a racist and “very, very devilish.” He called for a boycott of Sony, which is believed to have contributed to Mottola’s ouster from the company six months later. Jackson is reportedly so frightened of Mottola that one of the reasons he surrounded himself with Nation of Islam guards in 2003 was that he thought Mottola could put out a hit on him. (Mottola could not be reached for comment.)

Jackson wanted Novel to find the links among these characters. Novel told me in March that “he believes he’ll get convicted. He believes the judge, the D.A., and the Sony guys are a conspiracy to take over his money.”

On March 17, nearly a month into the trial, Novel went to Neverland to strategize. Maximo’s first thought was that Michael was in need of “an extreme makeover” of what he calls “imaggio.” Jackson drove him around the ranch in an old pickup truck. “He acted like he was scared silly,” Novel told me. His fear was “six foot thick. He kept asking me what prison was like. Can he watch TV and movies there? He wanted me to stop the show.” When I asked Novel what that meant, he related that Michael said, “‘I want this trial stopped.’ He said the judge and Sneddon had rigged the game.”

The general was blunt with Jackson. “I told him, ‘Get rid of the weird persona. You look like the weird pedophile. I’m talking about the hair, lipstick, eyebrows. Just be yourself, and say why you’re doing it. Say that’s your show-biz personality. It’s just what you do to sell LPs.’ He said, ‘No. I just want to be me.’The general also told him to find a female lover. “He didn’t want to go with girls, do the romance thing either. He didn’t want to come to Jesus; he thinks he’s already religious. I said, ‘Why didn’t you stop fooling around with kids?’ He said, ‘I didn’t want to.’”

Novel told Jackson that he could walk away free if he would just submit to a lie-detector test, undergo hypnosis, and take truth serum, which Novel would administer in “a controlled environment.” While he was under the influence on video, Novel said, Jermaine could ask him questions, and they could distribute the video worldwide, proving his innocence. Jackson refused to take truth serum, Novel said, claiming it was against his religion.

Novel told me that he was ready to go public with this information and sell it to the highest bidder, because Jackson had stiffed him on his $5,000 consultant’s fee. I told him that Vanity Fair does not pay for information, but he nevertheless related in detail a conference call he had had with Michael, Jermaine, and the Reverend Jesse Jackson. Many of the things he said they had discussed were echoed in an interview Michael gave Jesse Jackson on Keep Hope Alive with Reverend Jesse Jackson the following Easter Sunday.

Michael said on the phone that what was happening to him was the result of racism. He told Jesse Jackson in the radio interview, “I’m totally innocent, and it’s just very painful. This has been kind of a pattern among black luminaries in this country.” He told him he got strength from the examples of Nelson Mandela, Jack Johnson, Muhammad Ali, and Jesse Owens. Novel told me he had said to Michael, “You can either be a victim or a warrior.” In his interview, Michael told Jesse Jackson, “I’m a warrior.”

On the phone, Novel told me, Michael and Jesse had decided that telling the press they spoke with each other frequently was a good way to give a positive spin to Michael’s predicament. Sure enough, Raymone Bain, Jackson’s attractive spokeswoman, promptly told reporters that Michael woke up before dawn every day and spoke with Jesse for 15 or 20 minutes. She said, “They talk together and pray together.” In the interview Michael said, “I gained strength from God. I believe in Jehovah God very much.”

Novel told me they had discussed the conspiracy at length on the phone. In the interview, Jesse Jackson asked Michael point-blank about the catalogue and what was in it. Michael said that “it’s a huge catalogue. It’s very valuable, it’s worth a lot of money, and there is a big fight going on right now as we speak about that.” He added, “I can’t comment on it. There’s a lot of conspiracy. I’ll say that much.” . . ."

Mariah Carey is set to star in an upcoming, untitled movie centered around Christmas, based on a theme related to music and her rumored boyfriend Brett Ratner is co-producing the project.

The plot of the project has not yet been revealed but it is known that it will be related to Christmas and portray how the power of music transports a person back in time, to their truest and most authentic feelings.

The untitled movie will be produced by Jon Shestack and Ratner, and will be written by David Diamond and David Weissman.

"Rehearsal is for fags" he allegedly said .

"The audience was stunned," one attendee told TheWrap.

After word spread about what happened, Ratner issued a mea culpa on Monday.

"I apologize for any offense my remarks caused, it was a dumb way of expressing myself. Everyone who knows me knows that I don't have a prejudiced bone in my body. But as a storyteller I should have been much more thoughtful about the power of language and my choice of words."



BRETT RATNER: 'NO GAY JOKES' AT VENICE BENEFIT

The director skewers himself with a nod to his 2012 Oscar-telecast resignation as he honors friend and "Rush Hour" sequel screenwriter Jeff Nathanson.

This story first appeared in the March 15 issue of The Hollywood Reporter.

Just two days after this year's Oscars, Brett Ratner publicly referenced his resignation from producing the 2012 telecast at the 34th annual Silver Circle Benefit for the Venice Family Clinic. The producer-director was there to present one of his best friends, Rush Hour 2 and 3 screenwriter Jeff Nathanson, with the group's Humanitarian Award. 

Acknowledging that many might still consider him a loose-cannon pick to talk before an industry crowd (this one included Chris SilbermannDavid Shore and Barry Meyer), Ratner said facetiously that Nathanson had sent him an email with strict guidelines on what not to say: "No black jokes, no gay jokes, no jokes about Steven Spielberg, no jokes about my agents, no jokes about my wife or children, no jokes about Asians or Jews. And whatever you do, do not repeat the joke I wrote for you that got you fired from the Oscars. It was totally inappropriate then, and it is totally inappropriate now."

Not all in the crowd were sure he was joking -- Nathanson assuredly did not write the off-the-cuff remark that cost Ratner from the gig -- but clearly the director is far enough away from the controversy to have a bit of fun at his own expense.
