Today in the news:

The man who fired a rifle inside a Washington, DC restaurant in early December, in pursuit of a bogus claim that children were endangered, was charged Tuesday with violating a federal gun law.

Edgar Maddison Welch, 28, of Salisbury, North Carolina, appeared briefly in federal court to face the charges. The judge set a detention hearing for Friday.

According to court documents, Welch had been contemplating a trip to the restaurant for at least three days, after reading and viewing claims that Comet Ping Pong, a pizza restaurant, was the center of sex-trafficking ring with connections to influential Democrats.

Washington, D.C. police and the FBI have said the claims are totally false.

Investigators say Welch texted a friend that he was considering “raiding a pedo ring, possibly sacraficing the lives of a few for the lives of the many.”

In the same text, according to court documents, he wrote, “The world is too afraid to act and I’m too stubborn not to.”

Police say Welch drove to Washington on December 4 and entered the restaurant carrying an AR-15 rifle and a handgun, alarming customers and employees who ran out in fear. Investigators say he fired several rounds trying to blast open the door to a locked room which he later learned was unoccupied.

Police say after he was arrested, Welch told them that he walked out of the restaurant and surrendered, leaving the guns behind, when he found no evidence of child sex trafficking.

The federal charge carries a maximum sentence of ten years in prison.

In an interview with the Washington Post, Welch’s parents said he is a loving, responsible, and affectionate father to two young girls.

Harry and Terri Welch told the paper that their son was traumatized in early October when he hit a 13-year-old boy while driving to work. No charges were filed in the accident. The boy had broken bones and a head injury.

During Tuesday’s brief court hearing, Welch told the judge he had no job. He was assigned a public defender.

You’re right in your assertion, because of the nature of my articles, I usually get a lot of push back not just on MikeSouth.com but every where I publish an article including my own web site. As a matter of fact, that’s why I don’t accept any comments on my web site, because for every two positive complements, there are ten negative rants and I don’t have the time and energy to get into a pissing contest on cyber space every day. However, I don’t mind the push back and criticism, if an issue concerns me, I write about it an share my thoughts on it and I will always find the intended audience, people like you who are intelligent, open minded and respectful. I don’t care about naysayers.

As for SJWs, they’re a minority, a shadow of a shadow, they’ve just got big mouths. That’s right, SJWs are ignorant, loud, obese and obnoxious morons who think if they scream their guts off the world will bend over and give in to their every pathetic demand. Well guess what, that doesn’t happen. They think they matter, that they’re relevant, but they don’t, they aren’t, that’s why they almost always fail in their endeavors.

Everything has a time and place come to mind. People saying soap doesn’t belong in the same grocery bag as cheese or fruit aren’t attacking the bagger…simply stating it’s not a good combo. No one doubts the bagger would prefer not hearing or learning that lesson on the job in public.

FWIW your oft stated goal of facilitating discussion on as many platforms as possible seems to have crossed the line into the realm of SJW here. Given your responses to criticisms you deemed SJW the grief you’re getting is much more respectful in comparison.

MikeSouth dot com is place where it’s okay to be a square peg who has no desire or inclination to fit into a round hole. (no pun intended) I think a lot of the pushback you get is because the only time you interact with people on this forum is your own posts.

As a square peg who sees porn performance as a workplace absolutely distinct from worker’s (private) bedrooms my early days were pretty rocky. Over time things have changed from disagreeable disagreements to recognizing the right of people to choose the side of the fence they prefer…respect. Respect is easier to recognize on this forum if you separate it from agreement, admiration or expectations of party invites.

You’re putting the cart ahead the horse…expecting discussion is all well and fine. Expecting a discussion that treats you as the honored speaker on the dais is another. I hope you’ll consider my two cents in the spirit it was intended.

Michael (Payne), I don’t want a tranny robot in my bedroom but if they keep the house clean and cook meals (like that robot on the Jetsons years ago) I might buy one for that and give it one of those pocket pussies to get off with. The robot will have to sleep in its own bedroom, though — I only sleep with cute, nubile human women. 🙂

Thank you for your kind words and support. You’re spot on about the cognitive dissonance, sometimes when the information is too disturbing and shocking, many people choose to shut down their mind and blatantly deny the information and attack the messenger. I guess we’re only human after all.

You wish the robots were coming to our neighborhood McDonald’s, but it’s worse than that, they’re coming to our bedrooms. You’ll know what I mean when you read the next article.

Thanks to you all

I agree with mike South’s reasons for taking this article down. However, I read your article Michael Payne, which the contents are quite shocking and very disturbing and I read all the comments in the comment section. When writing on such topics, you will find you will reach a huge wall of cognitive dissonance with people and rightly so, its like a psychological defense mechanism. ”Leon Festinger’s theory of cognitive dissonance focuses on how humans strive for internal consistency. An individual who experiences inconsistency tends to become psychologically uncomfortable, and is motivated to try to reduce this dissonance, as well as actively avoid situations and information likely to increase it.” – Wikipedia. There are thousands of people whom are reporting government experimentation of individuals without knowledge and consent, the targeting and torture of individuals, satanic ritual abuse and child sacrifice, mind control experimentation, slavery and human trafficking in elite circles. Despite thousands of personal claims and evidence coming to the light, the big wall of cognitive dissonance is what keeps it occult-ed and hidden in plain sight. Despite what people say to you, whether they try and discredit you as a writer, or call you all names under the sun, I just want you to remember the huge wall of cognitive dissonance, the psychological defense mechanism, its much easier for people to deny a truth that is right in front on their faces especially when it is an uncomfortable truth. when people are drawn to an ugly truth they will flat out deny its existence as a means of self protection and self preservation. It doesn’t surprise me such topics are being suppressed and denied and now with the whole fake news censorship, its much easier to categorize and label truths that are coming to light as ‘fake news’ just like the ones that are in search of the truth are categorized and labelled ‘conspiracy theorist’ as a means and way of discrediting, marginalizing, and degrading those that dare to search for the horrific truths that are hidden in plain sight. You will be labelled and categorized as ‘conspiracy theorist’ and your articles labelled and categorized as ‘fake news.’ The establishment wants to categorize and marginalize people like you who dare to seek the truth in matters which concerns those in high positions of authority, and with cognitive dissonance at a high in the psyches of individuals whom don’t want to consider such truths happening in reality, they will flat out deny what you are saying and will discredit you, and marginalize you too. The comment you wrote explains your stance beautifully, ”Pizza-gate is a dark, disturbing and despicable story, but you don’t shy away from a story because it’s disturbing, just like you don’t shy away from treating cancer because the treatment is difficult. You discuss the disturbing story, bring it to light and raise awareness, just like you seek treatment for cancer.”

I got a kick out of the Alana Evans Criminal Mastermind story…

Bootleg Corn Chips? Is that even a thing?
