Feminist icon Emma Sulkowicz, known for her infamous “Mattress Girl” rape allegations and protest demonstration, was awarded the 2016 Woman of Courage award by the National Organization for Women last week.

In 2014, Sulkowicz carried her dormitory mattress around campus in protest after she claimed that a fellow student raped her at the college in 2012. The mattress was carried everywhere, including to Sulkowicz’s graduation, prompting a huge media storm surrounding the student who media dubbed “Mattress Girl.”

However, in early 2015 it was reported that Sulkowicz had repeatedly told her “rapist” she loved him through leaked text messages after the “attack”, with the alleged rapist Paul Nungesser eventually being pardoned by the campus due to lack of evidence. Nungesser was repeatedly threatened, harassed, and assaulted during the lengthy campus trial, and Nungesser reported multiple rescinded job offers and missed opportunities due to the accusations.

Sulkowicz claimed that Nungesser had beaten her in bed after agreeing to mutually consensual sex, before he allegedly forced anal upon her. Nungesser, however, denied this story and claimed that their sexual encounters were entirely consensual. Nungesser theorized that Sulkowicz’s claims against him were due to the fact that he had decided to split up with her shortly after the encounter.

After gaining mass media attention, Sulkowicz broke into the spotlight again in 2015 after releasing a supposed recreation of the rape in a bizarre sex tape form, where she could be seen performing fellatio on an overweight man before being beaten in what she claims to have been a consensual tape.

Two days after the alleged assault,Sulkowicz texted Nungesser saying “I feel like we need to have some real time where we can talk about life and thingz because we still haven’t really had a paul-emma chill sesh since summmmerrrr”. The following month, Sulkowicz messaged Nungesser saying “I want to see yoyououoyou”, and on her birthday in October after Nungesser had wished Sulkowicz a happy birthday, the infamous Mattress Girl replied with “I love you Paul. Where are you?!?!?!?!”

Numerous other inconsistencies in Sulkowicz story, including the texts above, meant that the campus trial was eventually thrown out, though not before it permanently tarnished Nungesser’s name and reputation. And now Sulkowicz is being rewarded for it.

“Sulkowicz did what many rape victims cannot do; she channeled her fear into a public demonstration and brought attention to her rapist’s despicable act and highly inadequate punishment” announced National Organization for Women president Terry O’Neill. “Emma is an inspiration to all of us.”

“I never imagined that someday I would be honored by such an immensely important organization. It feels like a dream” said Sulkwicz to artnet News. “It’s truly humbling. People should check out NOW’s amazing history, because we really do owe so many of our rights to that organization.”

Despite the lack of evidence and the fact that the case was dismissed by credible authorities, Sulkwicz still maintains her story on the alleged assault, and is still hailed as a feminist icon.

Google ‘Directly Engaged’ In Clinton Campaign, Says Julian Assange

The Associated Press

“[Google] is directly engaged in Hillary Clinton’s campaign” claimed Julian Assange at a Moscow journalism forum on Tuesday. 

The Wikileaks founder who is still under investigation by the Swedish government over allegations of sexual assault was speaking via video link to the “New Era of Journalism: Farewell to Mainstream” forum in Moscow when he made the claim that tech giant Google was complicit in the running of Hillary Clinton’s digital campaign.

Specifically, Assange claimed, “The chairman of Google, Eric Schmidt, set up a company to run the digital component of Hillary Clinton’s campaign.”

Eric Schmidt did in fact create a company in the last quarter of 2015 called The Groundwork whose website is empty except for a single placeholder logo. Breitbart has previously reported on The Groundworkand how it was reportedly developed to install Clinton in the Oval Office. However, whether or not Google itself is a part of Schmidts’ involvement in The Groundwork remains unclear to the public.

Assange pointed out that many high up Google employee names appear within Clinton’s leaked email transcripts, a searchable list of which Assange hascompiled here. A name that appears with regularity is that of Jared Cohen, the founder of ‘Google Ideas’ – now rebranded as ‘Jigsaw’. Cohen’s team at Google was revealed to be working with Clinton alongside Al Jazeera in attempts to influence regime change in Syria following the publishing of Clinton’s emails by Wikileaks. 

“We should understand that Google… is intensely aligned with U.S. exceptionalism… personally at the top aligned with Hillary Clinton’s election campaign and almost certainly once Hillary Clinton becomes president, those people in Google, like Jared Cohen, will be placed into positions around the new Clinton presidency” said Assange, heavily implying that Google and it’s employees could directly benefit from a Clinton presidency.

Assange highlighted the alarming control that Google has over its users’ data and the information received and kept by the search engine giant.

“Google controls 80 percent of the smartphone market through its control of Android and if you control the device itself – that people use to read – then anything that they connect to through that device you have control over as well.”

Outside of the native OS found on Apple’s iPhone, Google’s monopoly on remaining smartphone market may be behind why companies such as Samsung are considering dropping Android in favour of their own OS

It’s not hard to imagine how any form of manipulation of certain search returns and political polls may greatly benefit a presidential candidate or push a political agenda. If Assange is correct in his assertion that links Google to the Clinton campaign, then the search engine could have a major impact on the Presidential race. Assange also pointed out that Google has had no trouble working with the Obama administration. 

“Google has gotten into bed with the Obama administration in a very significant way,” stated Assange. “It is the company that visits the White House more than any other – averaged once per week in the last 4 years.”

Dear #NeverTrump: It’s Time To Get Behind Daddy

After his stunning victories in the north-eastern primaries, Donald Trump needs less than 300 more delegates to secure the Republican nomination. So, #NeverTrump haters and losers — it’s time we had a little talk.

Now, I know Trump and the alt-right hurt your feelings by relentlessly undermining the anointed heir to the Royal House of Bush, as well as that flamboyant, permanently dehydrated ADHD junkie from Florida, but it’s time to let bygones be bygones.

So, by all means spend a few days in a safe space blowing bubbles and eating oatmeal raisin cookies like your feminist compatriots to recover, but after that it’ll be time to face reality: Trump is going to be your party’s nominee.

It’s not so bad, honestly. If you get behind Trump fast enough, your betrayed base might forget comments like “we decide the nominee, not the voters.”

Those weren’t just any old voters you were alienating, by the way. They include the next generation of conservative firebrands, who are currently gravitating to Trump, the alt-right, and me. Unlike most right-wing writers, my biggest demographic is 18-34 year olds. Your supporters will be dead or retired in ten years. Ours won’t.

It’s pretty simple, really. Either you want your party and movement to die, or you don’t.

Past GOP presidents, love them or hate them, have been iconoclasts and men of great charisma — not charm, necessarily, but strong personalities who take great risks. Mitt Romney didn’t lose elections because he was too sexist or racist — a lie internalised by a shocking number of establishment conservatives. He lost because he’s a robotic, unlikable bore with ideas that resemble the folks who want to ship Americans’ jobs overseas.

And let’s not forget, Trump has promised to become more “presidential” if he gets the nomination. You might even persuade him to adopt some toned-down, establishment-approved, Romneyesque slogans. Here are some ideas:

“Make America Slightly Better Again”“Not Completely Forthright Ted”“Less Than Perfectly Honest Hillary”

Some other potential compromises:

We’ll call it a fence not a wall… and it only goes up 10 inches instead of 10 feet every time Mexicans insult itWe’ll agree some illegal gang members are great people and just “lost souls”We’ll lower the trade imbalance with China but not boast about itCarrier will only pay 29.9% tax not 30%

What else can we do to heal the conservative movement’s wounds? Trump could promise that Ben Shapiro will never hear another height joke, and will be made ambassador to the Pygmies who will make him feel like a giant. Michelle Fields will be Secretary of the Creative Arts, a new cabinet level position. Trump could also pass a law that for every cabinet level appointment there is a special gravy job held specifically for a Bush, a Romney, or a member of the Saudi royal family.

And come on guys. I know you’re fond of screwing people over cigars in dusty backrooms, but wouldn’t it be way better to smoke Trump cigars at the luxurious  Mar-a-Lago’ resort, instead of the backroom of the Bush clan’s favorite Masonic lodge in Possum Gulch, Texas?

The GOP establishment are keen on flooding the country with cheap workers. Backing Trump just means your party will be flooded with cheap voters — you don’t have to bribe them this time; Trump will make them come for free! And they aren’t even Mexican gang members — just disgruntled blue-collar Democrats and independents.

You own the beltway, and you’ll always own the beltway. So why not come together with the unwashed masses, behind Trump? Don’t forget, you need the base to keep funding your lavish lifestyles.

Look, the Inner Party of Oceania in 1984, which you’ve modelled yourself on so well, was adept at the idea of doublethink. It’s perfectly acceptable to both hate Trump and tell the proles to vote for him.   Stop letting the hate cloud your vision and act in your own best interest, like you normally do.

And really, who else would you run instead?

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)

56%

’s baby blues would fill with tears when he inevitably loses on the national stage. Besides, you need him in congress to ram through TPP and amnesty bills, don’t you?

Romney again? He’s so nice to the bad guys he’s an easy choice, but doesn’t running a Mormon again hurt the “Islam is the future” globalist agenda?

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ)

37%

? The poor man’s already survived torture once — don’t put him through another failed presidential bid.

Some of you are convinced that Trump will lose to Hillary, hence your support for the eminently electable 

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)

97%

 and charismatic people’s champion Jeb Bush. And it’s true that Hillary currently beats Trump in the polls. But Trump hasn’t even started exposing all the skeletons in her closet yet — assuming the FBI don’t get there first. Remember, this time last year, Jeb Bush was ahead in the polls. Look how that turned out!

Oh, sorry, I shouldn’t have reminded you. Here, have a box of tissues.

Sure, you may not like Trump, but is he worse than Hillary? Are you really going to walk down to your polling station, vote for the Republican candidate for Senator and Congressman, and then leave the Presidential ballot empty? Would you really let another Clinton romp into the White House?

Well, Charles Koch has suggested he might do more than that. He might come out and support Clinton wholeheartedly. I’m sure a few other establishment die-hards entertain similar thoughts. And let’s be clear: when they do, they ought to be cast out of the conservative movement.

Never has a candidate with this much promise faced this much opposition. Trump offers everything conservatives have been complaining about for decades: a secure border, improved trade, and an America restored to its rightful place in the world. That is, the top. The best. The greatest. Number one. And the polls will say so!

Trump speaks for the kind of conservative voters that the GOP takes for granted at every election, offering lofty promises that they promptly break. He’s high-energy. You’re damp squibs. It’s time to fall in line behind the patriarch and see what happens.

Your voters have had enough of being lied to, and this time, they’re going to get what they want. You may hate them, but remember — you need them more than they need you.

Because, having thrown almost 1,000 delegates to Daddy, it’s pretty clear that they, not you, are the Republican Party.
