Pictured: 21 Summit 2022 Speaker Group

Hey man

This is a difficult newsletter to write. As you probably know I began organizing 21 Convention events in July of 2006, seventeen years ago almost to the day.

Since then we’ve held events in five different countries across three continents. Never once have we cancelled an announced event during the past 17 years.

Even when the coofid scamdemic hit in 2020, we just rescheduled our spring events to the fall of that year, and combined them into one larger 21 Summit event. This was one of the only fall live events to be held in Florida that year, and probably all of America. We’ve kept that tri-event model ever since.

21 Studios events are considered the “gold standard” in professional, educational events for men, and especially within the manosphere. They are the longest running events of their kind in the world. They are the events people try to emulate but can never replicate. 

When I first announced the 2023 event at last year’s event like usual, I was blissfully unaware that Allyssa was pregnant and my first child was just 9 months away.

Since then I’ve been trying to pivot and adjust my decisions as the year progressed.  I thought that doing an event this year and taking next year off was the best middle ground to balance my personal and professional life. 

Had I known going in to last year’s event that Allyssa was pregnant, I would have just taken 2023 off from events and not announced one in the first place. That would have been ideal, but also, real life is rarely that neat and clean.

Being a new father, and Allyssa a new mother, is not easy. This is all brand new for us, and like the pregnancy itself, it’s a learn as you go experience. 

I want to be a fully present father in the most critical time of my daughter’s life, literally the first 90 days of life outside the womb. Building a major live event, on top of running the online portion of the business, directly conflicts with that goal.

Organizing the events is a major undertaking on a normal year. The stress runs high, and sleep dwindles as the event approaches. Stacking that on top of having a newborn at home I realized was self-destructive for me personally, and would unavoidably take away from fathering my daughter.

With that in mind, I’ve decided to cancel 21 Summit 2023, including The 21 Convention, The Patriarch Convention, and The 22 Convention events.

I want to make it clear that this decision was made several weeks ago before Charlotte was born, and is not a knee-jerk post birth reaction. This is something I meditated on heavily, and discussed at length with several of the alumni speakers and other presidential advisors like my good friend Tony Bruno.

In addition, before the black pill retards start blaming Allyssa for this, she would support any decision I made for the business or events. Allyssa attended both 21 Summit 2021 and 2022, loved the events, and was extremely supportive of me throughout those experiences.

Our events are truly awesome, above and beyond the hype, marketing, and hyperbole. 

I know a lot of you were excited to go this year. In the best interest of my family and my own sanity, I’ve decided to give a big no on the events for this October.

Some people privately suggested doing an online virtual summit instead, which would be much easier, but I decided against that as well, because those are gay and I hate them. “Digital Zoom Summits” are just mental masturbation on steroids.

They are insulting to my life as a professional event planner and director. I have always thought “digital events” were super gay, and the recent proliferation of post-Coofid Zoom culture just confirms how gay that shit is. I have zero respect for them, as in literally zero.

I’ll keep you posted on plans for future events. We have a ton of 2022 footage to still publish – over half is not event edited yet – as well as some 2021 speech footage.

For those of you that need a refund – which you are entitled to when we cancel an event – email info@the21convention.com with “21 Summit Refund Request” in the headline. You can also reply to this email with the same message.

I’m also happy to talk with each ticket holder personally by phone for up to an hour at no charge. About your ticket, the events, advice questions, or just to catch up. I love hearing how past events have helped you personally change your life.

Thanks for reading.

I know this isn’t the best news to hear but it needed to be published and I didn’t want the announcement dragging in to August.

1st President of the Manosphere

Founder of The 21 Convention 

– October 20th 2022 –

Statement by Anthony Dream Johnson,

1st President of the Manosphere

Robert Teesdale aka “Ivan Throne”, public speaker and author of The Nine Laws, has consistently spoken at 21 Studios live events around the world since 2017, with the exception of our 2021 live events in Florida.

(In 2021 Ivan was invited and advertised to speak at 21 Summit but was unable to attend due to emergency gallbladder surgery close to the event).

Ivan Throne was invited to speak at 21 Summit 2022 and indeed did participate as a speaker for The Patriarch Convention and The 21 Convention this year, October of 2022 in Orlando Florida. The event successfully took place from October 14th-17th.

In my professional experience as a live event organizer, to his credit, working with Ivan from 2017 to 2020 was consistently smooth and problem free. In that experience he was always polite, professional, timely, supportive of our events, generous with his time, and easy to work with. It is widely known that Ivan has been legally deaf for most of his life, and in this regard specifically his public speaking ability is sincerely impressive.

From 2017 to 2020 speaking at our events, Ivan was one controversial and passionate speaker among many. Some attendees would enjoy his talks, and for others, it wasn’t their cup of tea. This is fairly common, because The 21 Convention, The Patriarch Convention, and 21 Summit are open platforms for authors and expert speakers to share their ideas in an open intellectual marketplace. These speakers include medical doctors, attorneys, therapists, clinical psychologists, Christian pastors, FBI special agents and other retired law enforcement, Navy SEALs and other military veterans, among many diverse speakers.

Basically our events function like a “TED Talks for men”, with most speeches even published free to the world via 21 Studios.

We do not normally or automatically endorse the content of any speech or independent speaker. For many years we have posted and stood by this disclaimer on our popular YouTube channel 21 Studios

Content Disclaimer:

The views expressed in all videos are those of the speaker(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of, and should not be attributed to The 21 Convention LLC unless otherwise stated.

The speakers often share common values, agree in some areas, and disagree in others. I am an Objectivist and atheist for example. I invite speakers to my events on a regular basis who are devout Christians across several denominations. While this pairing is unusual in today’s culture, as our philosophic disagreements are obvious and significant, I am proud to have these men speak at my events, because we agree strongly on issues regarding masculinity, femininity, and family (to name just a few).

On October 16th 2022 Ivan Throne was scheduled to speak at The 21 Convention event for men for one hour. This speech took place after I provided a short, approximately one minute introduction for Ivan Throne before he took the stage as is customary for me as the founder.

The 21 Convention is part of the larger 21 Summit event, with two other events occurring at the same time, including The Patriarch Convention for fathers, and The 22 Convention for women.

After the introduction I exited this conference room to finish preparing for my own keynote address for 21 Summit which was up next. I did not re-enter this conference room until Ivan’s speech was finished and it was time to begin my own keynote address. During my presentation I was unaware of any problems or objectionable content in Ivan’s preceding speech.

As I would later discover on Monday, the content of Ivan’s 21 Convention 2022 speech is 100% inconsistent with our platform and mission, and out of alignment with all other speakers and presentations throughout our entire 16 year history. It was a cause of concern for many attendees, volunteers, and several event speakers who were present in the room during the speech. These concerns were first conveyed to me verbally on Monday October 17th while 21 Summit was still operating.

The objectionable speech content was shared verbally. I was not consulted about this speech or its content before the event, nor was there a series of PowerPoint slides to review beforehand. Ivan had a single power point slide for the speech that simply displayed his company’s name and brand, there was nothing abnormal or noteworthy about it. Ivan had also gained a degree of trust for speaking at our events since 2017 without issue, trust that his speech would be consistent with our platform, reasonable, and professional.

The content of Ivan’s speech was alarming and extreme, and I believe is not protected (free) speech, by state law or federal law, including the 1st amendment. Had I been in the conference room during the speech I would have ended the presentation immediately and had Ivan escorted off the property by law enforcement.

Even among an entire summit of controversial and passionate speakers, this speech stood out as entirely inconsistent with our values, our mission, and even Ivan’s own speaking history at our events.

As the founder and leader of these events, in the strongest terms possible, I 100% disavow the entire content of this speech by Ivan Throne on October 16th 2022. This speech will not be published by 21 Studios under any circumstances.

Ivan’s conduct in this speech was profoundly disrespectful to our events, to our attendees, volunteers, staff, and his fellow speakers. He violated several serious boundaries in this speech. These violations are egregious and irreconcilable.

Ivan Throne also donated approximately 150 books this year for our attendee goodie bags for when they arrive. This is not uncommon from a speaker and something I generally appreciate for my customers. Ivan has published several books before, this book is very new (released October 4th 2022) and I had not read it before the event.

The donated books arrived one day late and were not included in our attendee gift bags prepared Thursday evening, October 13th 2022.

Instead they were freely available to attendees throughout the event who wanted a free copy. At least 50 were obtained by attendees and volunteers to my knowledge.

I did not vet the content of this free book for our attendees both due to the time crunch I was under for the event, their late arrival, and Ivan’s own positive history of attending our events without issue since 2017. I reasonably assumed the content would be consistent with his prior speeches and writings.

Since 21 Summit concluded I have since reviewed the content of this book. It is extremely alarming and absolutely out of alignment with our event, our content, our mission, our values, and our other speakers.

As the founder and CEO of 21 Studios, in the strongest terms possible, I 100% disavow the entire contents of this new book “Age of Militants” by Ivan Throne.

For any attendees, volunteers, staff, or other participants who obtained a free copy of this book, I strongly recommend against interacting with the book in any way including but not limited to the “QR code” displayed towards the end of the book.

For all fans of 21 Studios and associated properties, I recommend reviewing and reconsidering any ongoing customer relationships you have with Ivan Throne, “Throne Dynamics”, and any associated organizations or businesses. Be judicious in how you spend your money and who you associate with even as a customer.

Regarding the manosphere movement and Ivan’s relationship to it, as 1st President of the Manosphere, by executive order, I hereby declare Robert Teesdale aka “Ivan Throne” formally excommunicated, with zero chance or pardon or redemption.

Ivan’s conduct and content do not represent the manosphere in any way, shape, or form and should not be associated with it from this day forward to any degree.

Ivan’s performance at 21 Summit 2022 and the authorship of his new book were profoundly disrespectful and treasonous to the manosphere community. Ivan’s recent choices in speaking and writing were deeply unmanly, dishonorable, and misguided. He has brought great shame to my events and the larger manosphere movement, and even shame to his own legacy as a handicapped public speaker.

I do not know if Ivan is having a mid-life crisis, is mentally unwell, otherwise unhinged, or some combination of the above. I do hope he seeks the professional or spiritual counseling he needs.

May god have mercy on your soul Ivan.

Sincerely,

/s/ Anthony Dream Johnson

1st President of the Manosphere

Founder, 21 Studios

This is not an essay I ever thought I would have to write. Yet I find it necessary and proper given the bizarre nature of recent manosphere events. I’m going to make this as short, sweet, and clinical as possible. Dr. Dream is in the house.

Abstract

After growing up as a fat, lifelong, mamma’s boy nice guy, Mr. Poodles decided to masquerade as an alpha male “life coach” for men on the internet. Recently he revealed himself to be a fake, a fraud, a hypocrite, and a phony. A beta male simpanzee, neutered, cucked, and castrated by a high powered Feminist Boss Queen Tinder Turbo Thot.

A critical, tongue in cheek Twitter thread posted several weeks ago sent Poodles spiraling into an instant roid-rage, making violent threats on audio for any non-compliance. He walked some of these threats back later, only to then double down, and challenge over 20 speakers of The 21 Convention to a fist fight, in addition to an unlimited number of attendees – yes, random customers of mine he’s never even met.

He’s publicly called of these men cowards, going so far as to identify/name several on video including but not limited to Pastor Michael Foster, Coach Greg Adams, Elliott Hulse, Richard Grannon, Ian Smith, Jack Donovan, Jay Vincent, Steve Williams, Arthur Kwon Lee, Jeff Younger, and many more. John has already walked back some of these embarrassing threats towards speakers after getting screamed at and whimpering like a puppy.

In the process of the above John has explicitly tried to cancel the entire 21 Convention and 21 Summit events, the 16 year anniversary of 21 Studios being held in Orlando Florida this October 14th-17th (get tickets here and bring a friend free through September 30th).

While I realize some of this language sounds harsh, sincerely, what you are about to read will shock and disgust you.

Introduction

John “the Poodle” Sonmez as he is now known is a former speaker of The 21 Convention and The 22 Convention live events. He also presents himself as a sort of broad spectrum self-improvement/dating coach, with a little masculinity guru sprinkled on the side. He’s had a bit of a schizophrenic/bi-polar relationship with the manosphere for a while now, often “leaving” it to drama market and rile his fans up, only to fence sit and continue bitching about it indefinitely. Wash, rinse, repeat for clicks from drama addicted sheep.

Earlier this week Mr. Poodles has publicly attempted to cancel the upcoming 21 Convention and 21 Summit live events – the longest running and largest manosphere event in the world.

John went so far as to demand speakers drop out the event and/or publicly attack me (the founder). He went further calling all 25+ speakers cowards, all of the attendees cowards (yes really), and has challenged all of the above to a fight, especially but not only the speakers (including myself). This inadvertently included several female speakers for The 22 Convention: Make Women Great Again live event. I assume this part was accidental.

He made these insults and challenges both in writing, as well as in a 32 story video rant – that’s 32, not a typo – posted to his Instagram following of 100k+ followers. Below is a screenshot of the written version.

Below is a streamlined version of the original 32 story bitchy cry fest, where he’s too much of a pussy to even say my name. It clocks in at about 7 minutes.

When you have the time it’s worth watching to really grasp the nature of what’s happening, and get a first hand look at the live action mental breakdown of a certified beta male on Instagram.

Check Point Summary

Mr. Poodles has had something of a public mental breakdown, calling dozens of speakers he knows and has met personally, cowards. To my knowledge none of them had made any public comments – positive or negative – up to this point about any conflicts between John and I. They were uniformly not involved, and many were not even aware that anything was going on in the first place.

The exception to that are the 10+ speakers he has been contacting privately for several weeks, overtly trying to turn them against me and The 21 Convention. All of these speakers have oral agreements with me and many written agreements. What John was doing privately (snake) as well as publicly may constitute tortious interference with business relationships (1), something that he could be sued for. We already have one lawsuit against several of Poodle’s friends in active litigation.

It should be noted that Poodle’s effeminate cancel culture attempts have universally failed and are aggressively backfiring.

Context

On August 11th Mr. Poodles – a public figure and public speaker – decided to publicize his new engagement to Feminist Boss Queen and founder of the degenerate “Date Me or Hate Me” podcast Nicole Hazelwood. The images were posted publicly to over 100,000 of his followers (even if half are bots that’s still a lot of people), therefore inviting them to comment, observe, and criticize his post – as with any other.

What I saw was sickening. Obvious, blue pill, beta male cuckery. Overtly subservient, submissive, supplicating, mommy issues on display, genuflecting garbage even from the most generic, vanilla, moderate, manosphere point of view. This is beta male fuckery at its finest, and actions that get roasted by manosphere podcasters on a regular, daily basis. This kind of stuff is the bread and butter of many top manosphere content creators. It’s educational, funny, and people like watching it.

To be clear, the manosphere is a loosely organized movement for men. Poodles has a long standing awareness and hot/cold relationship with it. Like anything else on this planet, the manosphere is not perfect. Some of the advice is good, some less so, and some advice is terrible. It’s an open marketplace of ideas, with some basic fundamentals that are widely agreed upon – such as, don’t be a beta bitch, and choose your relationships with women wisely and judiciously.

For the good, positive advice and ideas the manosphere does have, John has absolutely failed to grasp and apply even the most basic concepts. It’s truly “cringeworthy” that he did this in real life, posted it to the internet, and for that matter, ever had anything to do with the manosphere or teaching men how to be a man more widely. This shit is embarrassing.

He’s not “purple pill”, this guy is pure, 100% blue pilled.

Below is an embed of the original Tweet thread, you can open it to view the full commentary as well as screenshots of the negative vitriol this feminist boss queen uses towards men on a regular basis. As several fans have noted it’s even worse than it sounds at first glance.

See for yourself.

On the issue of Poodles genuflecting on one knee and publicizing the moment, I do want to provide additional commentary.

This is 100% unacceptable for any man, and I will explain why.

In my view this is 500% beta, weak, and pathetic, to get on your knee like this for any woman. However maybe you find it traditional, maybe your grandfather did it, maybe you think it’s romantic, whatever. This can be reasonably debated and I don’t have a problem with that.

Where the room for debate ends is when you professionally photograph and publicize what is already a dubious act, that should only be done in private, if ever at all. This is extremely gay and 1,000% beta. By doing this Poodles has made it all about her, her new ownership of him, her ego, and her raging narcissism/need for attention.

He might as well have chopped his own balls off and presented them on a poodle platter here.

This is beyond pathetic, pitiful, and truly shameful. This is a weak man telling the world just how weak and passive he is. A proud slave, who pretends to lead by example for men on how to be a man while charging them money. Fucking delusional and farcical.

The Poodle Response

Shortly after posting the Tweet thread, Mr. Poodles sent me several audio messages via iMessage, embedded above (1 minute long). Here is my original description for each message.

Audio 1 of 3, innocent enough.

Audio 2 of 3, escalating quickly, level 10 passive aggressive.

“You seriously don’t wanna fuck with guys like me” – John “the Poodle” Sonmez

Will Smith on line 1

Audio 3 of 3

Now we escalate even further to threats of implied violence and tortious (civil) interference in my business relationships, with specific names mentioned.

Basically brigading/running to daddy/”Our mutuals are not gonna like this” – Cuck Murphy bullshit.

Some select comments from viewers are below.

I have been allowing all comments on this video (all uploads of it), unlike Mr. Poodles who has been deleting any detractors or negative commenters – because he is a pussy.

Bolding is my own, and some comments have been shortened for brevity.

This dude is not about that life, thats like that dork at the bar thats like “bro you dont know me, i just see red and bodies drop bro, I’m like crazy bro” so stupid , I know a punk when I hear one, and that is punk talk, elliot hulse would t bag you john.

John Sonmez sounds like someone who’s scared of the feminist he got down on one knee for. He sounds unsure of himself and he probably left those messages after she threatened to cut off the engagement, saying “you better say something, or else we’re through.” And he caved in to her ultimatum.

His name should now be Bullshit Mindset.

Doesn’t surprise me. Unless you’re padding him on the back, he deletes your comment. Extremely thin-skinned and the opposite of what he pretends to teach. Also, he has a nervous (unstable) temperament. Don’t take advice from someone with a nervous energy.

John sonmez is NOT the alpha male he claims to be. He got emotionally hurt and challenged 21studios CEO AnthonyJohnson to a fight lmao, but John was the same one preaching and teaching redpill “men” emotional and mental control and saying that if you resort to phsyical violence over non-threatening stuff, then it’s weak, but here he is telling Anthony to fight him cause Anthony is clowning him hard. Haha…. but once he sold out to the redpill and pretended to be a men’s guru in order to hustle cornball guys for coaching and facebook group subscriptions, he became a clown in my eyes.

… I just don’t like bullshitters who claims to be an expert and teach something while doing the exact opposite of what he teaches

Man, even if he disagreed with you… this is far below his normal level of respectable behavior. Getting really upset, making a bunch of posts, and threatening to beat you up? And calling up his friends to try and get on his side, all because of… an internet meme criticizing a life decision? Very far from the alpha behavior he usually recommends.

… this reeks of someone trying to stand up for his girlfriend/wife in order to keep her respect. It’s probably not because your posts offended him, but because they offended her.

Motivation

This is a fan comment from the leaked audio video, bolding my own.

It seems from my perspective that you are the only one who is pointing out the red flags to your friend however he is to invest that he doesn’t see what we all see the way he responds makes me believe that you hit a nerve

There is an old saying that “anger is the weathervane of truth“. The reasoning behind this saying is simple. Things that are false/incorrect usually don’t provoke much of an emotional response, if any. Exceptions exist for major lies such as if you’re being falsely accused of domestic violence, #metooed, crimes involving children, or other serious accusations that represent real and serious harm to your life or values.

On the other hand, speaking the truth – especially forbidden truths and sacred cows – provoke major emotional responses in men and women. In other words the truth – not falsehood – triggers the fucking shit out of people.

What shocked and disgusted me so much about the Poodle’s initial Instagram post, announcing his new engagement/slavery to the Tampa Tinder Turbo Thot, wasn’t just the post content itself or the vomit inducing caption, it was the army of mindless, blue pill, beta males clapping like seals in the comments.

Including men who should know better like Beta Male Strategies.

Some of these comments were just fake posturing to be sure. Schmoozing to butt sniff the poodle for whatever imagined reason.

Fundamentally though, what I saw, was not one man willing to stand up and speak the truth boldly and clearly. Many knew the truth, and yet none would say it. That this guy was the new king of the beta males, was blue pilled to the bone, and about to get pegged by the matriarchy in divorce court.

This was aggravating and pathetic to watch. For a manosphere/men’s movement dedicated to promoting and selling “the truth” – the truth about female nature, the truth about being a man, the truth about masculinity, the truth about the red pill, the truth about fitness, the truth about success, etc – not one man was openly speaking the truth on this crap, for whatever reason.

Well I’m not willing to live in a world where the truth will be silenced and forbidden. I decided to speak it, and decided that anyone who doesn’t like me speaking the truth can eat shit and suck my balls.

Philosophically I’m an Objectivist. At the top of my values hierarchy is objective reality, followed closely by objective truth. When I see an important truth, and everyone is afraid to speak it or can’t be bothered, then I’m going to speak it. Period.

Most men don’t have this value system and never act on issues like this in the first place. Their value system is corrupted and weak. Beta as fuck. They prioritize money, clout, schmoozing, political maneuvering, playing nice, good manners, etiquette, etc. All this effeminate fucking garbage comes before knowing the truth and speaking it.

Ironically these are the same pussies who will sit there and tell you “facts over feelings” and “the truth matters!”.

Yeah sure, until there is a cost or risk involved. Then all of a sudden that truth shit magically goes right out the window, and you get an abstract excuse list a mile long.

Pathetic. Fucking. Pussies.

I decided a long time ago that I’m going to burn down the bullshit, lies, fraud, and corruption of this world with the truth, starting with the manosphere.

And not one man alive can stop me.

Now did I also want John to wake the fuck up and stop being a sheep? Yes, but that was maybe 10% of my motivation, a minor factor, seeing John exit a toxic and abusive relationship. My primary motivation was speaking the truth when no one else had the balls or could be bothered to do so.

To lead by example, and actually live what I preach.

That the truth matters above all, no one is above the truth, and the truth will be spoken by any means necessary.

Feminist Boss Queen Analysis

Below is a comment (source) from a fan on 21 Studios who reviewed Miss Turbo Thot’s podcast “Date Me or Hate Me” that she operated for a few years including as recently as late 2021. The comments match what I have heard from others who have privately reviewed the podcast content, as well as my own initial, brief skim of the podcast made several weeks ago for the original Twitter thread.

Bolding is my own.

~~

~~

Beyond any shadow of a doubt, this chick is a basic beech 304.

A player, and a predator, who found an easy target to sink her claws and hooks into. Anyone with even a basic understanding of women, and manosphere concepts, can objectively see that a mile away.

But here is the real, blue pill kicker. John knows she’s a Turbo Thot.

Mr. Poodles sincere belief is that this lifelong salami smuggler who is in his own words “like most western women” magically transformed into a unicorn, right at the moment they met. And now they are going to get legally married, without a pre-nup, because muh tru wuv.

Impeccable timing on her part huh, it’s right out of a romantic comedy movie.

Poodles has actually gone quite a bit further, and openly pushed men to throw themselves into the matriarchal meatgrinder. See for yourself.

In direct contrast, here is a well written article on the subject from high testosterone alpha male Dr. Shawn T. Smith – Nothing Says “I Love You” Like a Prenup February 16, 2022.

Shawn is a man with a high IQ and a calm, iron mind. His conclusion is the diametric opposite of hyper-emotional, unhinged mamma’s boy John Sonmez/Mr. Poodles. This is a direct reflection on the character, mind, and wisdom of each individual.

As a closing note on this Tinder Turbo Thot, I want to share a meme of Dr. Jordan Beta Peterson’s daughter, who is very similar to our newest Feminist Boss Queen.

I’ve fucked a lot of women in Florida. I know the sexual market landscape and territory well. In my own experience, it’s extremely obvious this chick is a player, and predator. A wolf in sheep’s clothing that is to be avoided.

She’s displaying symptoms of borderline personality disorder, which is common among women, and especially young millennial/zoomer chicks who have been drunk on feminism their entire lives.

In Mr. Poodle she spotted a weak gazelle, an easy, thirsty target. A sucker with open wounds to nurture and fester. To dig her jezebel claws into. She’s completely dominated John at this point. She’s fully aware of this, and knows what she’s doing. She’s a gold digger with her eyes on the prize. She wears the pants, and controls Mr. Poodle by letting him think he’s wearing the pants.

This is how the pros operate. It’s a simple flip of the script, but it works. Chicks like this work covertly, with a smile and fake as fuck innocence.

Remember kids, unless you’re Jesus or John Sonmez, you can’t turn a hoe into a housewife.

Poodles Analysis

The term “narcissist” is overused on the internet today, however I believe the older, more specific term “thin skinned narcissist” still holds weight.

John is an extremely thin skinned pussy, a coward, beta male, simpanzee, cucked and castrated weasel. He wants to preach to men about “taking responsibility” and “owning your shit”. Like a bitchy woman, he wants all the authority of being a public figure and “men’s coach” with none of the responsibility that comes with it. Namely, accepting public criticism, for public actions he’s taken, that are hypocritical, and diametrically opposed to even the most basic – and sound – manosphere wisdom.

Counter-culture wisdom that has been distilled down by decades of time and the experience of countless men.

Mr. Poodles is hyper-emotional and over-reactive. He is highly vaginal, and despite preaching (non-stop) about emotional control and self-mastery for many years, he has displayed none of it when tested.

He has proved to be a giant cry baby, who will piss and moan when he doesn’t get his way, melting down in a giant temper antrum on the internet.

John “the Poodle” Sonmez is a snake masquerading as a “nice guy”. When he didn’t get his way – when I didn’t cave to his demands and do what he said – he instantly puffed up, got ultra passive aggressive, fake violent, and started trying to coordinate dozens of business relationships against me.

Rather than fight his own battles, or take the “high road”, not worry about it, and be secure in his own relationship and choices, he instead ran like a bitch to other men, begging them to fight his battles for him – for weeks.

He ended up calling 100+ men cowards, including over 20 speakers of our events, and then challenged them all to fight. This is profoundly weak, stupid, and cowardly. All of his talk about “cowards” is pure projection. Mr. Poodles is scared shitless and lives in constant fear of my next meme or social media post.

This pussy is too chicken to even stand up to his own girlfriend and exit what is obviously an unhealthy and toxic relationship.

John is a super simp and super fraud, who does not practice what he preaches, is explicitly aware of it, and just makes excuses, like a bitch. He is not a man, never has been, and at this rate I doubt he ever will be. He is still the same fat mamma’s boy of his youth.

Hiding behind a false bravado and fake transformation – fueled by a cocktail of artificial injections as I understand it – is a weak, scared shitless, loser and covert, passive-aggressive bully.

The manosphere is filled with grifters and charlatans like this. Much worse than Mr. Poodles actually. But I would at least put him in the top 20.

I can’t believe I’m going to say this, but sincerely, Conovan Sharpe has shown more self-control and a greater degree of masculinity than this goofy beta bitch Poodles.

For those of you not in the loop, that’s really saying a lot.

Conclusion

You’ve seen several references in this essay to Will Smith. Earlier this year of course it became obvious to the entire world that Will was a trapped and cucked beta male, a husband slave to his nasty bitch of a wife.

Will in short – like so many other men, rich or poor, black or white – is trapped in an abusive relationship and marriage.

With just a glance, his wife commanded him to do her bidding, and he did so without batting an eye, risking his entire career and legacy, over a totally reasonable joke, at an event where that is entirely normal.

Will did this because he is a slave and this reflects how their relationship fundamentally operates. She owns him, and his balls have been in her purse for many years, where they will remain probably forever.

As many have commented both publicly and privately this is the same relationship dynamic we see now with Mr. Poodles and Mrs. Poodles to be. The unhinged lunacy of her beta puppet, while she sits back pulling the strings, twirling her hair giggling.

John of course is my puppet as well, something she is keenly aware of and drives her up the wall, as it threatens her emotional and psychological domination over him. In his spare time he has become my pet monkey, my bitch, dancing and singing for me on Instagram to his entire audience, even advertising my event for me. Thanks bro.

When I made my original tweet thread, my gut instinct told me that something much bigger was off about John and this relationship, that what I was criticizing was only the tip of the iceberg. This hunch turned out correct, and I was able to smoke out a much larger fraud than I anticipated.

It’s a thankless job exposing fake retards, but it’s a job that needs doing. I’m proud of what I’ve done and offer zero apology to anyone.

A final important parallel to draw with the Smith relationship is the extreme defending m’lady’s honor/White Knight behavior. Like Jada our new Feminist Boss Queen has no honor to defend. This was one of the most damning elements of the Jada/Will scenario, and it holds true here as well with the podcast content alone.

Summary

This feminist boss beech has claimed her prize and made a fool of a wanna be masculinity guru. He’s wrapped around her little finger, and that will be the case for some time to come, and until she decides otherwise and decides to gut her sheep for cash and prizes.

John is delusional and hyper-emotional on a regular basis, lashing out at dozens of men who refuse to do his bidding, and by extension his master’s bidding. This is common for the infamous BPD/NPD duo relationship. Not only the puppeting aspect, but what is known as “crazy making behavior”. A predator of this sort knows how to naturally find and pull on his emotional strings to get the desired outcome, to make him dance like a circus animal.

The fat, mommy’s good boy John Sonmez is the same as he’s always been, it’s just been revealed more openly than ever. The glitter of a fake transformation is wearing thin. He’s revealed himself to be a basic bitch, California liberal snowflake, fully invested in cancel culture.

Initially I wanted the best for John. I suppose I still do in a way, although at this point – given his actions of threatening not only me but dozens of my friends – I’m rooting for this Turbo Thot to peg him in divorce court. I’d say there’s a 98% chance of that happening in the coming years, and I will be there to gloat when it happens.

Learning the hard way is probably the only way for someone this beta, cucked, and weak.

Epilogue

There’s a truck load of knee jerk emotional reactions the Poodle simps will have to this essay. I want to take a moment and pre-dispel some of those simpy and delusional myths like that I’m “jealous” or or “clout chasing” Mr. Poodles or “drama marketing”.

For starters, my main channel – like my balls and dick – is much larger than John’s. In August we did over 17 million views, compared to shrimpy 344,000 views John’s channel did. That’s about 50 times as many views, in the same 31 day window.

This difference is astronomical. The two channels are barely even comparable. The truth is that no one gives a shit about John’s content anymore, because it’s all fake and hollow trash, as his actions have now shown in real life. It was made to scam men out of money and nurse his inner beta, not actually help men. His channel has been dead, dying, on life support, and circling the drain for some time now.

21 Studios by comparison has been skyrocketing, and running circles around him, for a while now.

It gets much worse though.

My small personal Youtube channel with only 8.5k subscribers, has done over 750,000 views in the past 28 days, more than twice of John’s traffic.

Even The Red Man Group channel – that we barely post anything to – with 19k subscribers is running circles around John’s content with over 500,000 views in the past 28 days.

That’s 3 channels, operating at the same time, lapping this bitchy poodle. It goes without saying that it’s impossible to clout chase someone vastly smaller than you online.

As for “drama marketing”, meme videos don’t get any views. Few people know who John is at this point, and of the few that do, even fewer give a shit. This is not a debatable point – any review of the content on 21 Studios or any of my other channels reveals that meme videos get by far the lowest amount of views. I’m probably going to post them only on the smaller channels at this point to not impact how the algorithm views 21 Studios. That’s how useless they are for views. I post them because they are true and funny as fuck.

Even the highest viewed “expose” videos at best do 100k or 200k views. This is rare, and still, a drop in the bucket. 99% of our views and content come from educational and informative speeches filmed live and in person. Anyone telling you differently is lying to you or clueless.

A Personal Message

Mr. Poodles is deeply jealous of the intellectual and moral freedom I exercise in running my business. In standing up for what I believe in, asking for permission from no one, speaking the truth no matter what, and especially when it is socially forbidden.

I live by the creed

“The question isn’t who is going to let me, it’s who is going to stop me?”

The answer is no one.

Many have tried over the past 16 years in building my events, reaching hundreds of millions of men and women with my videos. Men have tried repeatedly to steal, undermine, and destroy my business. All have failed.

I’m a man on a mission. I’m going to turn the manosphere into a powerful movement for men that changes the course of American history. That means uniting the manosphere, and dividing out the frauds and fakes. It takes both positive and negative force to accomplish this.

Behind the memes I’m deadly serious about my work. Absolutely no one will stop me, so lead, follow, or get the fuck out of my way.

John is a loser beta male with women and life by comparison. A lost boy with deep father hunger and mommy issues. His chick wears the pants and this secretly eats at his soul.

In contrast I am a pure blooded alpha male. I lead my relationship, end of story. I get attacked and she gets attacked online all the time. It’s part of being a public figure. The same is true for every other manosphere leader with a wife or girlfriend.

I don’t care what anyone thinks about her because it’s my dick, not your dick, going in her. I’m secure in my choices and my relationship. I’m alpha as fuck and royally do not give a fuck if anyone agrees.

John would do well to learn from my example, but he won’t. His head is too far up his poodle ass to even breathe at this point.

Mr. Poodles has been stalking every single Instagram story of mine, every tweet of mine (whether or not he is tagged), YouTube community post, etc for weeks now. He is definitely reading this as soon as his female commands him to.

I’m going to be politically correct now and speak directly to Mr. Poodles, reiterating what I already told him in private early on.

If you ever decide to follow through on your initial threats of jumping me/aggravated assault, before you started walking that shit back and trying to fight 20+ speakers, you’ll be lucky if I don’t break your fucking neck with my bare hands.

I’m not a trained fighter and neither are you. I grew up under conditions of horrendous, non-stop violence. I’ve seen people bleed, cry, kick, scream, and plead for their life.

You strike me as a fat fuck, spoiled, California snowflake mamma’s boy who has never experienced, dished out, or even witnessed serious violence.

You need to sit down, shut the fuck up, dump that nasty bitch, and check yourself immediately.

Have a great day.

P.S.

You can and should grab tickets here to 21 Summit, hitting Orlando Florida this October 14th-17th. 21S includes three conferences held at the same time, same venue, including The 21 Convention for men, The Patriarch Convention for fathers, and The 22 Convention for women.

(From the 21 Studios newsletter)

We recently broke the 100 million view milestone on YouTube at 21 Studios, right after the 400,000 subscriber mark.

After getting fully demonetized early this year by YouTube – and nearly having my entire channel deleted – this is a welcome development on the platform, after fighting years of shadow banning and watching hundreds of individual videos get demonetized.

I started 21 Studios when I was just a few weeks out of highschool at 17 years old. That was 2006. 

It’s taken a while to hit numbers this big, but now, we’re on fire.

In the past 12 months alone we’ve done over 53 million views and gained over 100,000 subscribers. 

In the past 30 days we’ve done over 17 million views. 

That many views used to take us YEARS. Now we hit that in a few weeks.

And the craziest stat of all… we just did over 3.1 million views in a single 48 hour window, inclduing 1.6 million in a single day (Aug. 24th 2022).

What has me most excited though is ironically the move away from YouTube that we’re accomplishing this year. Reducing and minimizing our dependency on big tech, which is completely feminisit and toxic.

Fans have stepped up to donate directly this year after the YouTube Partner ban. But even more importantly, 21 University is exploding due to the viral YouTube shorts we’ve been releasing.

Searches and more importantly downloads are up over 600% in recent days on both app stores. The growth is crazy, and climbing.

This is powerful for us. Even though both app stores are controlled by big tech, bans there are much rarer, and they are financially incentivized to keep you. 

YouTube bans by comparison – as we just saw with my good friend Andrew Tate – are increasingly common, their rules increasingly vague and ridiculous.

21 University is the best educational video app in the world for men. There is literally nothing better, just like there is no better event in the world for men than The 21 Convention. 

I take pride in making the best stuff. The best videos, the most professional and high quality events, finding the best speakers for men in the world.

Mastery is a long road. It’s taken 16 years to get this smooth, and there’s still so much room to grow.

I think we can scale 21 University to hundreds of thousands of members, perhaps millions eventually, and take the manosphere mainstream. This confrontation seems inevitable. From Make Women Great Again to Kevin Samuels to Andrew Tate, every few months there seems to be an ever approaching battle with mainstream culture.

Originally posted via the 21 Studios newsletter.

I’ve known Andrew Tate for several years now, dating back to early 2019 when we first met in Warsaw Poland. Since then I’ve interviewed him three times, and we’ve spoken on a regular basis.

For the Poland interview I famously dubbed him the “King of Toxic Masculinity” which, to my great amusement, the fake news media has been stupid enough to run with, to levels I never imagined.

If you haven’t heard, Andrew Tate has gone ultra viral. Something like 13 billion views just on Tik Tok, and billions more across other platforms like Youtube and Instagram. Earlier this month he was searched more than Donald Trump. Every major media outlet in the world has gone into a super frenzy attacking him, making him only more powerful and famous, which has been hilarious to watch unfold.

I consider him a friend, and he’s someone I’ve stood by since day one, in spite of a tidal wave of bitchy beta males, fake conservacucks, frauds, and feminists who have screamed at me to abandon him.

Like myself Tate is a pure blooded alpha male. In fact he’s almost as alpha as me, which is amazing. In a world filled with ballless, gutless, toothless, beta male pussies, Karens, transformers, and jumbo sized feminists, I take great pleasure in watching Tate bulldoze my enemies like a bull in a China shop.

I’m very proud of Andrew and support his success 100%. He represents the manosphere very well, and has done a great service for the movement, expanding it’s reach and impact to a new level of mainstream awareness. Beyond any question he has aggressively pushed men to become more masculine, reject the beta male mindset, and the infinite stupidity of feminism.

Do I agree with every little thing he’s ever said? That’s a ridiculous question to ask and standard to hold someone to. Even the most alphaest of the alpha males will not agree on everything.

But by far, the world would be a better place if more men adopted the fundamental attitude Tate lives and demonstrates so boldly. America and the West are dying from the cancer of feminism. We are drowing in effeminate beta males and fat bitchy manly wahmen. Alpha males and the manosphere are the only cure.

I’m writing this newsletter today because Andrew has received the Alex Jones/Donald Trump treatment. Without actually violating any specific policies he has been wiped off of most of the internet including Facebook/Instagram/Twitter, which is extremely gay. Meta, the parent company of Facebook/Instagram just cited their “dangerous organizations and individuals” policy.

Which means he didn’t actually do anything, they just decided he was bad. That’s a fancy way of saying it’s all bullshit, and they don’t like the way he thinks. 

In other words, he thinks for himself, is uncontrollable, completely opposed to the feminist establishment, and encourages other young men to embrace the same attitude on life and the world today.

Andrew as I stated in my tweet, is a legitimate threat to the feminist establishment. He has pushed hundreds of millions of gen Z young men to absolutely reject the feminist narrative they were force fed from birth, and embrace their “toxic” masculiniity. He’s done this at an incredible, heroic level. 

The Orwellian censorship of him is retarded, it’s wrong, and evil. It represents the opposite of living in a free society. It is also extremely dangerous.

As my good friend Ivan Throne likes to say “when the talking stops, the shooting starts”, referring to the next American civil war. 

The people who want to silence Andrew are the same people who want to silence me, silence the legitimate President of the United States, and ultimately silence you personally.

Silencing speech and unorthodox opinions has a much deeper purpose as well. They don’t really care what you or anyone else says, it’s about controlling what you think. Your thinking is directly influenced by what kind of information and speech you have access to.

And if someone can control what you hear, and what you think, they fundamentally control you. Your mind, your body, and your life. A slave in other words.

That’s why I think censorship is super gay. These “big tech” companies are moral and intellectual shitholes acting, repeatedly, in a monopoly fashion to suppress free speech and political speech. All of the big ones are acting as a workaround for the deep state to silence dissent. These companies need to be busted up into a million pieces by the next President.

Those are my thoughts on Andrew Tate. He has openly promised to speak at The 21 Convention, so we’ll see what happens for our upcoming events.

Thanks for tuning in, awomen brother.

(Originally published via the 21 Studios newsletter)

Hey man

With 21 Summit only 61 days away this October 14th-17th in Orlando Florida, the time has come for us to start building the volunteer team.

The volunteer gang typically ranges from 10-15 men (and the occasional chick for The 22 Convention event).

Volunteering is by application only. You are welcome to apply here. If you’re selected you’ll be contacted with more information on how to register as a volunteer.

If you live local in Florida that’s great. Traveling in is fine as well. Usually we have a mix of both.

Note that volunteering does not get you in to the event for free. If you’re accepted as a volunteer your ticket price is reduced by 90% this year in exchange for volunteering.

I do this for a few reasons. One is that it eliminates lazy bums and freeloaders who see volunteering as a clever way to sneak into an event for free (and then often slack off/not do shit).

That’s extremely gay and I hate it. The 90% off exchange seems to eliminate this.

In addition I’ve found at other events and our old events (pre-2014) that lots of free volunteers flake, like females.

If we had 8 volunteers who swore they would show up and help, super excited, well when event time came maybe 4-5 would show up, and the rest were ghosts. This is a significant problem when you need… all 8 volunteers.

Few people want to throw $150 or so out the window, so these days if we have 14 volunteers sign up, 13 to 14 show up. The flake rate is almost zero, which makes our events better, easier to plan, manage, and execute.

So if you want to help out, or absolutely need a ticket at this reduce rate, you can and should apply here.

Volunteers will be needed from October 13th-17th, Thursday – Monday. The times vary by day but approximately 8am to 6pm each day.

Thanks for tuning.

From the Desk of Elliott Hulse

Written on July 23rd, 2022 (original statement)

[Video response by Elliott]

On May 26th 2022 VICE News published a 12 minute video to approximately 16 million people on their YouTube channel. Long time fans of my own content have since reported to me that variations of this original video have more recently been published to additional social media platforms operated by VICE Media including Facebook and Snapchat accounts, expanding the reach to millions of more people.

The video itself “Why The Far Right Are So Weird About Sex” presents itself as part of an ongoing investigative series. Nothing could be further from the truth. Upon review I find this video to be yet another unethical, biased, lazy, and slimy fake news hit job. This type of “journalism” has become all too common in America from socialists, communists, feminists, and their woke alphabet buddies from hell.

This lazy low IQ hit job focuses on smearing the manosphere movement more widely and also targets me personally – probably even defaming me. I’m a YouTube creator with millions of fans that’s helped Make Men Strong Again since 2006. My videos have helped men build stronger bodies, stronger futures, and stronger minds by the hundreds of millions across the world.

As far as “news reporting” goes your video is nothing short of a moral and intellectual con job. You cherry picked one of my older videos covering MGTOW and presented me as the face of that movement within the larger manosphere community. This is delusional, wrong, and fundamentally inaccurate. Any honest review of my content would show that I am aggressively pro-marriage and pro-family, putting me at odds with significant parts of the MGTOW philosophy. If VICE had even a shred of integrity you would have chosen someone like my friend Coach Greg Adams who better reflects what MGTOW men are advocating, discussing, and rightfully concerned about in today’s degenerate gender relations. Dating and courtship has become a disaster for young people to put it mildly.

You went much, much further than mislabeling me as MGTOW though, you suggested that I was somehow responsible for or even “fueling” mass shooters with my “toxic masculinity”.

I’m a husband for over 20 years and a father of four . I love my wife, I love my kids, I work my ass off to help Make Men Strong Again and build a better country for my children. What I definitely do not do is sit around “fueling mass shooters” everyday. This is an egregious, stupid, and twisted lie. You owe me and all of my fans an immediate and absolute apology.

It’s worse than a lie in fact, it’s projection of your own sins from your own flaming pile of trash “fake news” network. VICE Media promotes non-stop beta male, soy boy, WEAK, low testosterone, fatherless, “don’t need no man” single mom, feminist culture. This creates a well documented breeding ground for mass shooters who almost universally lack a strong, masculine, patriarchal father figure in their lives, to help guide their masculinity and growth as a man.

Your organization is a fake news den of vipers as far as I’m concerned. You and your allies in the fake news, feminist media breed the exact kind of conditions for young men to lash out at a world that demonizes them and tells them they are wicked, evil, toxic, and useless 24 hours a day. The blood of mass shooters is on your doorstep not mine. These dejected, demented and deranged young men are your creation and those of your allies.

My work on the other hand helps men become the strongest version of themselves. To focus, improve, and understand their masculine nature as men – not deny, vilify, and suppress it as you do.

The only kind of shooters I support are young men like that 22 year old hero in Indiana recently that shot and killed a mass murderer, saving countless lives. This young man exhibited what you would ordinarily call “toxic masculinity” taking the responsibility of a dangerous, violent situation into his own hands. Your “toxic masculinity” concept is pure trash of course, he was nothing short of a hero and the same is true for every man with balls and heart that big.

He exhibited what my good friend and author Jack Donovan would call the “tactical virtues” of masculinity, specifically strength, courage, and mastery. He demonstrated these under extreme pressure and in a situation that threatened his own life. This is the kind of masculinity I 100% support and I offer no apology for.

In summary your organization is a fake news dumpster, your video is ridiculous garbage, completely wrong, and the diametric opposite of reality. VICE News is figuratively and perhaps literally satanic – what you promote generally and what you’ve done in this video is evil and backwards. My work helps men save themselves, become more masculine, build healthier families and relationships, and frankly helps men get their balls back. You want men to be effeminate beta males, I want men to be highly masculine, alpha male leader. We are not the same.

My experience with the manosphere movement has been generally and fundamentally positive. Your lies and slander extend beyond me and attack the entire manosphere. Had you gone in with an open mind and level head, you would have found a positive movement helping men across the board. Instead your investigation was loaded from the start. You came in with an aggressive agenda and built towards that. This is why people hate the media: you’re a bunch of corrupt frauds, liars, and snakes.

Have a great day and may God have mercy on your souls.

Originally from the 21 Studios Newsletter 06/22/22

I’m not even sure how to begin this newsletter. So much has happened in the past few days that my jaw is still on the floor a bit. The truth is sad, sick, twisted, and dark.

Jesse Lee Peterson has been a popular speaker at 21 Summit events since 2020, giving a total of 5 speeches across all three of our conferences including The 22 Convention: Make Women Great Again (2020 only). He’s also a self-proclaimed Christian pastor and has been a popular radio/call in show host for north of 30 years in California. He operates a 501c3 non-profit religious organization called BOND and two YouTube channels each with over 300k subscribers.

A professional documentary called “Amazing Disgrace” released recently exposing Jesse – with 4 accusers on camera, one of which is an alumni 21 Summit attendee – as a lifelong homosexual and groomer/sexual predator.

This is problematic for several obvious reasons. One that needs to be stated upfront and clearly is that Jesse on his own shows and platforms is a notorious homo-basher. He routinely mocks homosexuals and tells them on air that they are going to hell, that “Satan is their daddy”, etc. He’s been consistent on this for decades publicly, and per being a Christian pastor, this is in line with what Christians are supposed to believe. Homosexuality being a sin in their religion.

Thou shall not stick your dong in dudes doo doo holes.

I’ve never witnessed this level of extreme hypocrisy and fraud before in my professional career, and I believe it far surpasses the fraud of both Jack Murphy and Rollo Tomassi – even combined.

Most manosphere frauds are doing it to scam wounded men out of money, usually small amounts for book sales, courses, and such. At worst they are kind of festering unresolved wounds of their own, and spreading the damage to other men.

This situation actually involves religious fraud, closeted homosexuality of a public figure, and sexual predation of real victims, one of which is a former attendee of 21 Summit.

To say that I’ve been extremely angry the past few days is an understatement.

What’s worse, and what really set me off, was independently confirming that the fundamental allegations are true and factual. This shit actually happened. Jesse Lee Peterson has engaged in long term homosexual activity, and some form of sexual grooming/predatory behavior with wounded, broken men coming to him for answers.

I’ve confirmed this to the point that I’m willing to take legal responsibility for those claims being facts of reality, rather than only pointing to the documentary itself.

This is the ultimate possible betrayal for any of our speakers and I’ve publicly gone to total war since Monday exposing this fraudulent homosexual super predator.

I had private, minor reservations about Jesse which is part of why he was excluded from The 22 Convention in 2021, but nothing even remotely approaching the total truth here. I don’t think even an FBI background check would have uncovered this, and it appears he’s been getting away with and covering it up for 20-30 years, possibly longer.

A lot of people I know are still in shock, including speakers in private and our fans in public. Many are outraged, going through the beginning stages of grief (denial and anger).

A lot of young men and women looked up to this guy. Conservatives, Christians, and just regular people looking for answers in a culture that hates masculinity and femininity. Jesse had a significant overlap with manosphere content and topics in particular over the past 5 years, maybe longer.

It was all fake, all fraud, and all lies, the entire time. This psychopath crafted a public persona to scam people out donations and actually prey on men in real life for decades.

The war to Make the Manosphere Great Again continues.

While this has been a rather gruesome turn of events, it is ultimately healthy and part of the process for healing the manosphere. Purging it of frauds and predators, one by one. The feminists and their vichy male allies will use this against us as it fits the cartoon villain they built in their heads perfectly. This is unfortunate but also just how the world works. There are millions of evil people in the world who engage in varying degrees of fucked up, immoral, twisted shit.

I want to close on a simple point that I specifically don’t care that Jesse is gay. We’ve had another popular speaker since 2017 who is also gay. Nobody cares because he doesn’t lie, hide, bullshit, or make a big deal out of it.

What I care about with Jesse is the grooming/predatory behavior, and the extreme level of fraud and hypocrisy. This man lied to me, all of our speakers, all of our attendees, all the fans of 21 Studios, and all of the manosphere for years. He did it with a straight face and has shown zero remorse. This shit is truly vile, dishonorable, unmanly, and disturbing.

This guy is one of the most infamous homo-bashers on the internet.

He has brought great shame to my company, my event, conservative politics, American Christianity, and the manosphere itself. I hate this man with a burning passion and I think everyone should.

Do give the documentary a watch and share it with friends.

Awomen, and may Jesse burn in hell.

Reminder: you can save $1200 on tickets to all 21 Summit events for just
4 more days, then prices go up. Learn more and save your seat.

I’m about to commit some hate speech crimes here (aka “those are hate facts bigot”), so buckle your seat belt in your favorite safe space and get ready to call the wambulence.

First of all, over the past ~10 years living in America or an allied Western nation, you may have noticed a slight up tick in people chopping their dicks and tits off to better align with one of the new 750 genders.

Ten years ago in 2012 you could post on your Facebook something like “Hey this trans stuff is really weird, are these people mentally ill?” and not too much would happen. Now if you post that you risk being instantly banned for life, losing your job, getting death threats, and worse. In some countries you could have police knock on your front door for “hate speech”.

My how times have changed.

I actually tweeted last year that “There’s no such thing as trans, just mental illness“, and got a near instant 24 hour ban for the tweet. If I had a more extensive ban history with Twitter, they would have banned my account for life, that I’ve had since 2009.

The same is true for every other “big tech” platform, and all of my accounts on Facebook and Instagram are currently threatened to be “unpublished” (deleted) by the platforms for repeated offenses involving “hate speech”.

What I do want to state unequivocally today in this newsletter is that you are not crazy, and you are not alone in thinking: all of the trans people are mentally ill. They are sincerely crazy, like a homeless guy screaming at a wall under a bridge type crazy.

I say this on a common sense basis: if you walk into a doctor’s office with the intent of chopping your dick off (or having one put on), and that body part does not pose an imminent threat to your life (like cancer), you are fucking nuts and belong in a straitjacket.

All of your ancestors would have understood this as well, that intentionally mutilating yourself in this way is crazy.

Interestingly, the American Psychiatric Association considered transgenderism as a mental illness as recently as 2012.

This is a fairly obvious truth which is exactly why you aren’t allowed to say it almost anywhere on the internet. Even writing this to you in a newsletter risks my online accounts being banned elsewhere, and not just Twitter, everything. From PayPal to Venmo, even ride sharing apps like Uber will ban you over comments like this if your comments stir up enough news outrage.

(They do this by including fine print in their ~150 page terms of service agreements stating that they can ban you for comments made outside of their platforms).

Obviously if you’re not self-employed, you could also be fired for stating facts like this.

Now why are trans crazies so hyper-protected?

My opinion: they basically won the Victim Special Olympics out of all the crazy alphabet people, because transformers are the most crazy, unhinged, and pretend oppressed.

They are the loudest, most insane bullies out of all the cry bullies… because they are legit mentally ill. This is different from a standard issue blue haired feminist, or a “Black Lives Matter” sheep, who are both useful idiots for politicians in need.

Transformers as I like to call them also serve a useful function: they are the final destroyers of all differences between men and women, the only two real “genders” that have ever and will ever exist.

Nothing says gender doesn’t exist like surgically switching between the two original ones on a whim.

At the end of the yellow brick road of infinity pansexual non-binary heteroflexible genders, and after they spend years grooming and brainwashing your kids, is the destruction of all gender.

The destruction of all masculinity, all femininity, all family. They want everything to go to zero, and transformers are key to accomplishing that.

More philosophically, transformers are at war with themselves and reality. The reality of their own DNA. They misidentify a problem with their mind or brain as being a problem with their body. So they hire a quack surgeon to start hacking away at it.

The U.S. Navy even spends millions of dollars treating “transgender troops”. I’m not kidding, read about it here in USA Today.

The federal government of the United States literally uses your money they took from you by force, to surgically alter transgender troops.

In a small way, you’re personally bank rolling this shit. A little bit of your taxes went towards chopping someone’s dick off, in the military.

The good news is this kind of insane shit cannot and will not last. It will end either the easy way, or the hard way. Crazy people like this did not build civilization and cannot maintain it.

I’m 100% for saving Western civilization and pushing it forward towards reason and reality. A new enlightenment. Realistically this kind of insane crap being institutionalized is a precursor to the fall of Rome. Strong, masculine men have abdicated leadership and power, and our countries are now run by fat women, beta males, and transformers.

America has survived a lot since it’s founding, so I’d guess it’s 50/50 odds how this all works out.

Bottom line: everything “trans” is pure cancer. They really are crazy, and highly irrational, evil people prop the crazies up as heroes. This is meant to demoralize you and further destroy the culture and country you live in.

Speak the truth when and where you can, as powerfully as possible. Shine light on insane shit to cleanse it. That’s the easy way.

Yesterday rumors began circulating that manosphere super star and popular YouTuber Kevin Samuels had died of a heart attack. The news looked potentially fake (and malicious), and with Coach Red Pill also recently reported dead (which turned out to be false) I held back commenting.

The news continued to circulate, and then this morning his mother confirmed to NBC News that Kevin had indeed died. There are few details. Kevin was not obese or observably unhealthy, so speculation is focused on whether the heart attack was natural, faxxine related, or if there was a lethal combination of cocaine laced fentanyl involved. More wild theories involve foul play due to his impact on American black women, but I would think this goes off into tin foil hat territory.

The comments on Twitter from woke BLM types and many black women in particular are truly nasty. Celebrating his death openly. As NBC states quite plainly, Kevin would often spark outrage among American black women for confronting them on their beliefs, attitudes, and opinions.

Black women are very high up the victim hierarchy in our woke victim Olympics so even for black men this sort of raw, blunt commentary and confrontation is typically forbidden. Like many of our speakers Kevin constantly risked being cancelled for this type of content.

Kevin got his start on YouTube in the general manosphere as well as “black manosphere” in my understanding. The “black manosphere” is its own self-identifying group within the manosphere, similar to MGTOW or pickup artists/dating coaches.

A few years ago Kevin started confronting the delusional attitudes of modern women in general and black women in particular. He skyrocketed from 300,000 subscribers to 1.4 million in about two years as I understand the timeline of events.

Kevin was recommended to me as a speaker for The 21 Convention in early 2019. This year I was considering an invitation for him to The 22 Convention to speak on Making Women Great Again.

I had mixed feelings about Kevin which I addressed here on my Instagram. Overall I think he had a good message for men and women, he was a net positive to them, to the manosphere in particular, and the American black community in general.

Kevin was arguably the highest profile manosphere related personality alive until yesterday. It is sad that he’s dead at a relatively young age, and the comments celebrating his death are genuinely vile. In a sense they affirm much of his work combatting nasty men and women who did not want to hear blunt truth. but instead wanted their existing beliefs validated.

It’s worth noting that there have been a string of recent deaths in the manosphere. Former 21 Convention speaker (London, 2012) and notorious day game pickup artist Tom Torero committed suicide earlier this year.

Two time 21 Convention speaker (2018 and 2019, Florida) and popular conservative radio host Pat Campbell also died of brain cancer late last year, one day before our 21 Summit event.

Former 21 Convention speaker Stefan Aarnio also died of cancer in spring of 2020, barely 6 months after speaking for his first time at The 21 Convention.

Alumni 21 Convention speaker Andrew the Private Man died from an extremely rare eyeball cancer in early 2017.

Everyday could be your last. These were all good men who worked diligently to help men improve themselves as men, to navigate the world as men, to win and succeed in life just that much harder. They left the world early, especially in Stefan’s case, still in his 30s.

Let these men be a reminder to have courage everyday, to pull the trigger, and to never be a pussy. There’s no room in this one life you have to let fear dominate your decisions.

P.S.

You can watch Kevin’s videos on his YouTube channel here. I expect they’ll be up for years to come.
