Serial Murders of Immigrant Women and Children in Cyprus

Take a look at the women whose lives were taken mercilessly by an evil man, neglectful police, and an apathetic public.  Those murders would have been prevented had the police and the public done their jobs.

Just like Charlotte P.D. brushed off the concerns of the Black murder victims of serial killer Henry Louis Wallace, the police in Cyprus brushed off concerns of immigrant Filipinas in connection with the missing and murdered women of Cyprus serial killer.

Cypriot police chief fired over the handling of the serial murders of women and children of Color.  Good for them.  I wished for the same kind of action back in the U.S. where police chiefs and investigators have the tendencies to mishandle serial murder cases involving poor and working class Black women, past and present.

Vigil and protest for the murdered victims as well as to protest violence against women and children in the island nation of Cyprus.

Nikos Metaxas was convicted in connection with a string of murders of young immigrant women and children of Color in the Mediterranean island nation of Cyprus. The discovery of the remains of seven women and children in the toxic lakes of copper mines and shooting range outraged the inhabitants of that island.  

Protesters took to the streets to demand answers in why the deaths of the women went unreported by the authorities and that the police and government had been slow in searching the missing women and children because they were immigrants and foreign workers.

Most of the murdered women were from the Philippines.  Two were from Romania.  One woman was from either Nepal or India.  

These women were attractive, hard working individuals who were improving their lives and their families by working overseas.  

Women and men from economically disadvantage nations had to take work in richer nations because of economic and social inequality in their home countries.  Wealthy countries take advantage of adverse economic conditions of poorer nations by promising women to work in domestic and agricultural jobs.  Many of the workers worked in poor conditions without rights. They're poorly paid and are subjected to abuse, deportation, and worse.

The case in Cyprus really exposed an exploitative system that allow thousands of migrant women to work as housemaids in conditions that critics have described as modern-day slavery.

This exploitative system isn't confined to Cyprus.  It's all over the whole world including America.

The women and children murdered are:

* Mary Rose Tiburcio, 38, Philippines
* Arian Palanas Lozano, 28, Philippines
* Maricar Valtez Aquiola, 31, Philippines
* Sienna Graze Seucalliuc, 6, Mary Rose' daughter, Philippines
* Livia Florentina Bunea, Romania
* Elena Natalia Bunea, 8, Livia's daughter, Romania
* Unknown woman, either from Nepal or India

Members of the Filipino community in Cyprus held a vigil in honor of the victims

Greek National Nikos Metaxas(inset)murdered 7 women and children over a two-year period.

A lake in Cyprus where the remains of some of his victims were found. 

The following article is from the BBC News Network

Nikos Metaxas, 35, plead guilty in court on Monday to 12 charges relating to the abduction and killing of seven women and girls in Cyprus over three years.

In tears, he apologized to the victims' families and said he did not know why he committed the "hateful crimes".

The case, Cyprus's first trial of a serial killer, has stunned the island.

"Cypriot society will be wondering how one of its members reached this point," he told the court in the capital Nicosia, adding: "I have also asked myself why; I have not yet managed to find an answer."

Metaxas said he was willing to assist authorities "in search of those answers".

A candlelight vigil held in honor of the seven murdered victims

The killings took place between September 2016 and August 2018. Of his victims, three of the women were from the Philippines, one from Nepal and one from Romania. Most were working as housekeepers.

The two children were aged six and eight.

The country's police chief was later sacked and the justice minister resigned over the failure to properly investigate following the missing persons reports.

Associated Press Archive.  On Monday June 24, A Cyprus criminal court on Monday sentenced an army captain to seven life terms in prison after he pleaded guilty to the premeditated murder and kidnapping of seven foreign women and girls.

In handing down the sentence, the three-judge panel said that Nicholas Metaxas appeared to have mounted a "campaign of murder" in choosing defenceless women, most of whom came to Cyprus looking for work.

The case first came to light in April, when the bodies of two women - Marry Rose Tiburcio, 38, and Arian Palanas Lozano, 28, both from the Philippines - were discovered.

One of the bodies was spotted by tourists down a mine shaft that had flooded following heavy rains.

The discoveries triggered an investigation and, after tracking Ms Tiburcio's online messages, police arrested Metaxas on suspicion of murder.

At first he denied killing a third Filipino woman, Maricar Valtez Arquiola, 31, who was reported missing in 2017, but then changed his testimony and confessed.

The other victims were Ms Tiburcio's daugther Sierra Graze Seucalliuc, Livia Florentina Bunea and her daughter Elena Natalia Bunea, and Asmita Khadka Bista, Cyprus news agency KNews reported.

Following his arrest, Metaxas showed investigators to a well at an army firing range where the body of one of the victims was discovered.

Authorities then scoured two lakes in the south for two other bodies.

Metaxas reportedly gave police detailed information about how he disposed of the bodies.
_____________________________________________________________________
I'm glad justice has been served and that POS served seven consecutive life terms in prison.  While the verdict won't bring the victims back to life.  This tragedy would have been prevented had the police took the reports of missing women and girls seriously as well as taken the time to thoroughly investigate the crimes.  It's a pattern we see involving poor people of Color and Immigrants, time and time again.  This needs to stop.

Washed Up Reality Star Tila Tequila Banned From Social Media!

Tila Tequila was at a peak of popularity when she had over 15 million followers on MySpace and 14 million on Facebook. She even had a show on MTV called a Shot of Love. She was making lonely men and women compete for a night with her. She appeared on TV shows. She recorded a rap and pop album.

She was a very popular model. She even appeared in some high profile porno.

Now she's barely on the radar of popular celebrities.

And as the light fades on Tila, we are reminded that she still has some fans. Yeah, the White extremists would love her.

Hopefully they don't come out burning when they get that shot of love.

Tonight, The Atlantic magazine released a video of White extremists celebrating that controversial billionaire/racist/sexist/reality television star winning the election. The 45th President of the United States is going to be the most divisive piece of shit to ever hold office. Since "political correctness" is off the table, I will not relent on the attacks of that asshole, his vice president and their families.

The Donald Trump Klan will be attacked no matter what they do.

And this nobody named Richard Spencer is now a mainstream act. This white extremist held this "white power" conference in Washington, DC and the washed up celebrity was there giving her "Heil  Trump (or Hitler)" response.

It's a wrap for her. She can't catch Kim.

Kim Kardashian is the most popular reality television star in the world. She is the queen of social media. She ain't even on social media after she got robbed and still manages to keep her 49 million unique followers.

I can't stand her and her dysfunctional family life. Her husband, rapper/producer/bitch boi Kanye West made the news for attacking Jay-Z, Beyonce, President Barack Obama, Drake and openly supporting the Trump Klan. Tequlia was openly supporting Trump and posted some crazy shot about it on social media.

Tila's downfall happened when she began experimenting drugs. She was playing with rocks and arm candy. MTV had no choice but to fire her out the cannon.

At some point, I knew she had bipolar disorder. That's all bullshit, she's a full fledged Asian racist.

The rumors going around that Tila's got syphilis and chlamydia from a NBA star. She may have contributed to the death of heiress Casey Johnson. Casey was addicted to arm candy and Tila knew the buyers. She lied about being raped and tried to sue a former boyfriend. She was forced to pay a hefty sum of money after he countersued her for slander. She is fighting for the custody of her daughter. She performed in a low budget movie and got hit with feces and piss in a bottle at The Gathering of the Juggalos.

Now her latest accomplishment, being banned from Twitter (and we're working on getting her banned on Facebook). We want her permanently banned from social media.

We must not allow her to spread her legs of hate on social media.

Thien Thanh Tha Nguyen is her birth name. Whenever she pops up, have her shut down.

Get that skank off the internet.

Spin Cycle!

The actors in this Chinese commercial were trying to be funny. Unfortunately it turned out to be racist.

There's a commercial that was posted on social media over the past year and now it's starting to get some major attention.

The commercial is for a Chinese washing detergent where a woman was being flirted with by a Black man. She gives him gum (detergent) and then shoves him into the washer. Then she sits on top of the washer and moments later a Chinese man comes out and gives her a wink.

The advertising reflects on the racial attitudes in China.

Obtained from Shanghaiist, the mindset is that Black people are considered dirty and disgusting.

As any foreigner who has ever lived in China can attest, attitudes regarding race and skin color are often quite different here from back home. Still even with prior experience, sometimes this country can leave you completely and utterly dumbfounded.

The woman sees a Chinese man in the washer.

Thanks to traditional beauty standards valuing white skin, many Chinese people have a well-established phobia of dark skin which unfortunately also breeds racist attitudes towards people of African descent, who are viewed by some a "dirty" simply because of the their skin tone.

Shanghaiist also notes that the advert is a "blatant ripoff" of an Italian advertising campaign which had the same overtones.

The commercial for Qiaobi became quickly viral and shared across the world.

It doesn't get any better! A woman who was born to a Chinese mother and an African American father was being ridiculed by Chinese people for being a "beast".

Lou Jing who is an opera singer who speaks fluent Mandarin. The woman face harsh criticism when she emerged as one of five finalists for Let's Go! Oriental Angel, an American Idol-style show.

Wondering how the Chinese people reacted to President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.

Miami Hospital Fires Irate Uber Girl Out The Cannon!

Medical doctor who acted a fool while riding with Uber got fired out the cannon.

Worldwide condemnation came full circle today. The 28-year old 5' foot 100 lbs. medical doctor from Miami, Florida got fired out the cannon after she embarrassed herself and her hospital. Anjali Ramkissoon was placed in the freezer after a video surfaced showing her acting a fool towards an Uber driver.

The now famous video shows Ramkissoon hopping into an Uber driver's vehicle. The driver told her that she wasn't his pickup. The woman highly intoxicated went on a furious rampage.

She would knee him in the family jewels. He would push her to the ground. She quickly got up and hopped into the ride. Ramkissoon would eventually get the man's keys, phone and flyers.

She would literally destroy everything in his car before exiting and heading down the road.

The law was dispatched to the location. The person who was the actual rider filmed it and shared it online.

Pretty stupid. Doctor's social media antics cost her job.

It went through 6.5 million hits.

It lead to Ramkissoon giving an apology and reimbursement to the driver.

But the damage was done. She was widely condemned by the public for being a classless jerk. A privileged spoiled brat. She would get death threats and ridicule online.

Ramkissoon had shut down her social media. Uber terminated her contract for LIFE.

Now she won't be working Jackson Health Systems. She will have the right to appeal the decision.

The most infamous thing said by Ramkissoon was what led to her cannon firing.

So far she announced that she is in treatment for alcohol addiction and is hoping that the ugly memory of this event is put behind her.

The Daily Show Takes On Sexual Racism Though Online Dating!

Pretty honest aren't we!

The good folks over at The Daily Show took on online dating. The websites OKCupid, POF.com, Badoo, Tinder, and MeetMe are popular websites for singles.

I've told you before that I've dated women who have checkered past. I've vented through World News Today. Some of the women I've dating in the past were Black, White and Hispanic. Age doesn't matter to me. Interesting conversation and a good heart is the only thing I ask for.

Trevor Noah and his crack team of investigators make the case for why it's so hard for certain singles to find love. Jessica Williams and Ronny Chieng brought attention to social media and online dating.

To this day, Black women and Asian men are often ignored by people searching for love.

"There is kind of a systemic racial bias pretty much in every dating site I've ever looked at," said Christian Rudder, co-founder of OkCupid. He tells Williams and Chieng that "dataclysm" is primarily a factor to the unprecedented bias and often ignored requests.

"We found that 82 percent of non-Black men have some bias against Black women... And Asian men get the fewest messages and the worst ratings of any group of guys."

Jessica Williams and Ronny Chieng take on social media and the bigots online looking for love.

Isn't it OK to have preferences when it comes to finding a partner?

As "The Daily Show" segment explained, the discriminatory behavior exhibited by many online daters appeared to stem not from "preferences" at all, but from deep-rooted stereotypes evident in statements like, "[you're] pretty for a black girl" or in outrageous assumptions such as all Asian men having small penises.

In an outtake posted to social media, Williams and Chieng shared other offensive comments made on online dating profiles with writer Zach Stafford.

"Vanilla or spice, no chocolate or rice," read one, with "chocolate" being a reference to black people and "rice" being a reference to Asians.

"People really like using food to talk about their racism," Stafford quipped.

Romeo Rose faced scrutiny after he placed on his dating profile he will not date Black women. He said that Black women look like monkeys and if he was ever in a relationship with any women who dated a Black person, he would dump the beast.

Remember Romeo Rose. He still looking for the right woman who is willing to date him. The hapless idiot from Austin is still trolling online dating websites. This was the guy who is looking for a woman who is Blonde, height 5'3" to 5'9", under 120lbs, conservative-minded and talented. He won't date any woman who has slept with Black men or have male friends that are Black. He will not date any Black women. He believes that Black women are monkeys and women who slept with Black men are fucking animals.

A real winner, ladies.

The idiot insulted host Caitlyn Becker on her looks on HuffPost Live. Since then, he has gained infamy for being one of the most disgusting human beings to ever exist. He gets a fair share of death threats and swipes to the left on Tinder.

Word of advice for the singles who's looking for the special someone: DON'T ACT LIKE A RACIST!

Thai Dye!

Yikes. That's not cool..

BANGKOK (AP) — A Thai cosmetics company quickly pulled a video in which an actress wears blackface and promotes a skin-whitener with the slogan: "You just need to be white to win." The retraction did little, however, to stem a debate the ad ignited about the regularity of racist advertisements in the Southeast Asian country.

The online ad for the new product called "Snowz" featured porcelain-skinned Thai movie star Cris Horwang talking about being an aging actress in a competitive industry.

"If I stopped looking after myself, everything that I have worked for -- all the investment I have made to keep myself white -- would disappear," says the 35-year-old actress. "New stars would replace me, I would fade away."

As she speaks, a smiling, younger woman enters the picture and Cris' own image darkens to charcoal black. A male voice says, "You just need to be white to win."

A tirade of criticism erupted after the video was launched online Thursday. Online commentators labeled the ad as racist and ignorant, while some heaped criticism on the actress for accepting the job.

Others called it a strategic way to attract wide attention and boost sales.

"Ewwwwwww," was the reaction of 28-year-old Jutamas Tritaruyanon, one of many to post their disapproval on Facebook.

"This ad is so obviously racist and another attempt to brainwash Thai women," Jutamas, a Bangkok-based office worker, told AP. "They're saying that being dark is ugly. It's a narrow-minded and disgusting attitude."

The Thai cosmetics company Seoul Secret issued a "heartfelt apology" in a statement Friday saying it had pulled the video clip and related advertisements.

"Our company did not have any intention to convey discriminatory or racist messages," the statement posted on its Facebook page said. "What we intended to convey was that self-improvement in terms of personality, appearance, skills and professionalism is crucial."

The ad is hardly the first to use racial stereotypes in Thailand, where beauty is often characterized as fair and delicate. Darker skin is often associated with rural lower-class Thais, and the country has an enormous industry in skin-whitening products and cosmetic clinics to help customers emulate the porcelain complexions of the Bangkok elite.

TV commercials for skin-whitening products regularly promote the idea that white is beautiful.

In 2013, the Dunkin' Donuts franchise in Thailand used a female model in blackface makeup to promote a chocolate doughnut. The company's CEO in Thailand initially dismissed complaints about racism, but the U.S. parent company quickly apologized and pulled the ad.

An herbal Thai toothpaste says its dark-colored product "is black, but it's good." A longtime Thai brand of household mops and dustpans called "Black Man" uses a logo with a smiling black man in a tuxedo and bow tie.

Steve Harvey Flubs Miss Universe Winner!

Think like a man....

Well I am assuring Steve Harvey got some flack for the flub. The AP reports that the entertainer messed up in announcing the winner of Miss Universe Pageant.

The Colombian contestant was already wearing this year's Miss Universe crown when host Steve Harvey returned to announce on live television that he had mistakenly read from a cue card, and that the contestant from the Philippines was actually this year's winner.

In the following moments, the crown was removed and placed on the head of a mystified Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach of the Philippines, other contestants rushed to console Ariadna Gutierrez Arevalo of Colombia and a sheepish Harvey felt compelled to apologize on Twitter and to reporters assembled backstage.

"I feel horrible for this young woman," he said.

Harvey said it was his mistake and that he would take responsibility for not correctly reading the card, which said that Wurtzbach was this year's winner and Colombia was actually the first runner-up.

He held up the card for Fox network cameras to see up close. Talking with reporters afterward, Harvey and an executive for pageant owner WME-IMG called it human error.

"Nobody feels worse about this than me," he said.

Wurtzbach appeared stunned as she walked to the front of the stage alongside the crown-wearing Gutierrez before last year's Miss Universe from Colombia removed the crown and placed it on Wurtzbach's head.

Wurtzbach later said she felt conflicting emotions as the mistake happened: joy when she was told she had indeed won, concern for Gutierrez and confusion at the whole situation.

Wurtzbach said she tried to approach Gutierrez onstage afterward, but the Colombian was crying and surrounded by a crowd of women. She said she realized it was "probably bad timing."

"I did not take the crown from her," Wurtzbach told reporters after the pageant concluded, saying she wished the contestant from Colombia well and hoped the Latin American community understands that "none of this was my fault."

"None of this was done on purpose. It was an honest mistake," she said, apologizing on behalf of the organization she now represents. She said Harvey told her afterward that she "should just enjoy the moment."

Crowning Ariadna Gutierrez Arevalo was a mistake.

Harvey also apologized on Twitter, but at first misspelled the home countries of both contestants before also fixing that. "I'd like to apologize wholeheartedly to Miss Colombia & Miss Philippines for my huge mistake," he wrote. "I feel terrible."

Within seconds of Gutierrez being crowned, Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos took to Twitter to commemorate what appeared to be an unprecedented back-to-back Miss Universe win for the South American nation.

"Colombians! The most beautiful in the world," wrote Santos. "Miss Universe 2016!!!! What pride!"

But seconds later, Santos had to reverse himself.

"For us you'll always be our Miss Universe," he wrote in a message to Gutierrez. "We feel very proud."

Donald Trump, who used to own the rights to Miss Universe, tweeted on Monday that "this never would have happened" under his watch. He softened his tone later that morning in an interview on NBC's Today Show, calling Harvey a "great guy" who handled it well. Trump said if he were still in charge of the show, he would make the women share the title.

"I think I'd make them a co-winner. That'd be very cool," he said.

He added: "Things happen. It's live television," he said.

Harvey, who was hosting the contest for the first time, said he reread the card and noticed it said "first runner-up" next to the Colombia contestant's name before he asked producers if he had made a mistake.

An executive with pageant owner WME-IMG, Mark Shapiro, said Harvey caught the mistake and corrected it on his own, saying he wanted to make a wrong into a right.

"It was humiliating for the women. It was humiliating for him," he told reporters after the pageant.

As all this was unfolding, a car drove up onto a sidewalk and struck dozens of people just outside the Planet Hollywood hotel-casino where the pageant was taking place. The Las Vegas Strip was soon jammed with ambulances and fire trucks, and authorities said at least 30 people were taken to a hospital to be treated for injuries and one person was killed.

Even before Sunday night's oops moment, the pageant was involved in another controversy when a backlash against Trump led Univision to pull out of the broadcast and the businessman to sell it in September.

Pia Wurtzbach crowned the winner of Miss Universe after a major flub by comedian Steve Harvey.

NBCUniversal and Trump co-owned the Miss Universe Organization until earlier this year. The real-estate developer offended Hispanics in June when he made anti-immigrant remarks in announcing his Republican presidential run.

That led Spanish-language network Univision to pull out of the broadcast for what would have been the first of five years airing the pageants, and NBC to cut business ties with Trump.

The former star of the "Celebrity Apprentice" reality show sued both companies, settling with NBC in September, which included buying the network's stake in the pageants.

That same month, Trump sold the organization that includes the Miss Universe, Miss USA and Miss Teen USA pageants to entertainment company WME-IMG.

Philippines presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda didn't address the debate over the win but said, "in bagging this victory, Ms. Wurtzbach not only serves as a tremendous source of pride for our people, but also holds up the banner of our women and of our country-as a true representative of what the Filipina can achieve."

Harvey  was so embarrassed over this. He went to social media to apologize to the runner-up and winner.

The competition started with women representing 80 countries between the ages of 19 and 27. For the first time, viewers at home weighed in, with their votes being tallied in addition to four in-person celebrity judges.

It's the third time a contestant from the Philippines has won the title.

The pageant's contestant from the United States, Olivia Jordan, was named second runner-up.

The entertainer hosted the Miss Universe Pageant on Fox last night.

He incorrectly announced the winner of Miss Universe. Harvey erroneously announced Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutiérrez as the winner. However, after Gutiérrez crowning, Harvey stated that he read the results incorrectly and that Wurtzbach was the actual Miss Universe 2015.

Miss Universe 2014 Paulina Vega then handed Gutiérrez's crown over to Wurtzbach.

Pia Wurtzbach represented the Philippines in the Miss Universe 2015 held on December 20, 2015 in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States.

Valentine's Day: An Honest Opinion!

Why Valentine's Day is a drag for me.

Another Valentine's Day and I'm dreading it yet again. I am in a bit of sadness. I am not shedding tears and throwing things around. I am pretty much annoyed and volatile. I am just bottled up and volcanic. I am just waiting to explode. But I have to realize that the volcano could be capped. The best way to cap it is to express it in words.

One thing about relationships that everyone knows: It's extremely complicated.

See I am the type that bottles up my feelings and emotions. I was a bit of a tear jerker when I was younger. My dad and mom would often make me feel like I am a failure. I used to feel like my parents weren't supportive of me. 

To this day, I am extremely reclusive and distant. 

I don't hardly speak to my parents, my sister and other family members.

I often worked a lot and went out every Friday and Saturday. I often would meet women at the bar, the club, the social media and the job. Among each time, I've met them, I've learned to like them and trust them. I have experience heartbreak one too many times. Sometimes I feel like it's my fault for what happens.

I am the dreaded nice guy. I feel like I'm a doormat. They'll walk over me. I was never like this. I would often be hardline and self confidant.

I recently was doing the online dating thing. I met four women during this experience. Each of them were terrible. I gave this online dating thing another opportunity. The one that I felt was compatible to me managed to hurt me the most. I thought this one could be the relationship I've long asked for.

But alas, it's not.

I will use her first name and first letter of her name in this. The person is real and the events are told through my perspective. If this applies to you then it's consequential. 

Okay, this woman I met on Badoo was named Jessica V.  At the time, I was not looking for relationships. I was working two jobs and I was interested in purchasing a vehicle and looking for a house.

I met her in late July.

I met her at a discount clothing store. She asked if I would meet her at a local restaurant. I kindly agreed to it. So I met her and her two "friends". After eating she would ask if I was interested in bowling. Of course, I said. I wasn't doing much. I was upset with a woman that I was associated with after she stood me up. I figured that what's the harm?

After bowling we parted ways. She would later ask if I was going to spent the night with her. At first, I was extremely cautious about this. I was not ready to have sex with her without getting to know her.

I told her that I was not interested. I had to work in the morning. We'll I had second thoughts. Sure, I'll come through. So Jessica V. lived in the city of Carlisle, Ohio. A city that was 20 miles from where I lived. I had to travel some pretty isolated roads to get to her apartment complex. 

I came over and met her with the biggest smile on my face. I would often blush if I am really interested in the woman.

I would get to know her and her past. She recently got out of a relationship with a man. She claimed that he cheated on her with another woman and she had to "cut him loose". She said that she's not into a one night stand on the first date. That brought much relief to me. So we cuddled until the morning. 

So we had a few dates and done frequent texting and calls. I am not a big phone person, but I didn't mind her calling. I often would feel relaxed when I called her. I told her the two basic things I want if I was in a relationship with her.

I said that as long as that child is mine and you don't bring it home, then we're cool. The "don't bring it home" reference is to a sexually transmitted infection.

I didn't care what she done. I wasn't ready for a relationship at the time. She would often ask me to do favors for her. She was experience money woes. I would loan her money. I would offer her gifts. I gave her roses, twice. 

All the while, she was being deceiving. She apparently wasn't over her boyfriend. She would have sex with him.

Well one day, she would text me an urgent message. I asked her what the issue was. She said that she wanted to tell me in person. So I would head over to her apartment. We kissed and embraced for a moment. She would play this guessing game on what the urgency was. 

So I would look at the table and notice pamphlets for pregnancy. So I asked, are you pregnant?

She calmed said yes.

I was shocked. I was upset. I was not interested in dating women who were pregnant. I didn't want to raise another man's child and be suckered into child support. After a few minutes of arguing, I decided that I am not going to say anything else. I would leave and not look back. 

I am not a doormat.

She would frantically call and tell me that she didn't want to lose me. She said that she "cared" for me. I didn't want to believe that. I wanted to move forward. I was sad. I was almost driven to tears.

Here I thought this woman was single and not pregnant. I asked her multiple times are you pregnant during our first two weeks of knowing each other.

Jessica V. lied. And this lying became a habitual thing. As I am a caring person, I gave her three options. I said that you are responsible for this decision. I can't stop you from having a child. But I will not be in your life if you do. She thought about abortion. I told her that I wasn't supportive of abortion. I dealt with this stuff back when I dated a woman from Troy. She said that she would do it just to keep me as her friend. I told her that I don't agree with it, but I can't stop her. 

We embraced and parted ways. 

In October we would have our first sexual encounter. She abruptly left. She was upset that she went against her word about having one night stands. I told her that I deeply care about her. I didn't want to lose her. I was just going through a lot of things and I didn't want to be tied down.

Now during this time, I lost my job at the racino. I felt that I wasn't going to be the man she wanted to be with. I told her that my biggest fears are failure and rejection (heartbreak). I told her that I will do all I can to achieve my goals. I told her for the time being, I didn't want to settle down. 

Well it coming around the time of the holidays. I asked that if she was to do something for me, I asked her to meet my parents. That was the only thing I've asked for her. I thought that would be the perfect time to acknowledge her as a girlfriend.

Well as the holidays came, she didn't do it. She had an excuse for everything. She worked. She wanted to be around her family. She wasn't ready yet. Okay. Cool. I understand. Unbeknownst to me, she was dating a guy she met a Walmart. She had the opportunity to spend time with him and his family but not me.

Around early January, the calls and texts stopped. I was wondering what was going on. I texted and called. I got voice mail and unanswered texts. So I thought that I done something wrong. I immediately decided to mingle. I had an opportunity to hook up with a woman that I worked with a the racino that I had mutual feelings for. I blew that one because I told her that I was dating someone else. I text a long message to Jessica V.

Jessica. Why are you ignoring me? You know I am truly for you. I am amazed and sadden. I knew this would happen. I became a doormat and you walked over me. I don't ask for much. All I ask for is time and trust. Because I didn't want to rush into things, you shut me down. I said that I've been hurt too many times being a "nice guy". I looked out for you countless times. And what do I get for it? Nothing. I love you Jessica. It's just a matter to how I address it without feelings of failure and rejection. I will not shed tears. But I will be a lot emptier without you.

A few days later, Jessica V. would call. She told me that she was in the hospital. I asked her why?

She wouldn't tell me and I respected that. All of sudden, I tried to reach her through the social networks. I couldn't reach her through Facebook, because she blocked me.

I asked numerous times why Jessica V. was blowing me off? She comes up with I'm busy and I just hanging out with friends. 

So I asked her to meet me somewhere so can talk face to face. She blew me off. 

So I went to texting again. 

This is going to be a long text. I am texting you one more time. I haven't bothered calling because you ain't answering. I can't reach you through Facebook because you blocked me. I told you how I felt about you and I laid my cards on the table. I got the cold shoulder. You ignored every opportunity. I am not going to bother you if you ain't responding. I understand that you been in the hospital, but based on broken promises, I don't believe anything you say to me. I am still not convinced. Maybe I am overracting but based on promises I don't have faith in you. So I extend this opportunity to work out these things. Cause I am tired of being used and given excuses. I would never have spend a dime on you if I didn't like you. I ask one more time to see you on Monday. I'm free. I want to talk and air out these things. This is the last time. If don't want to associate with me, cool. We move forward. The choice is yours. I don't play games. There's too many women willing to be my friend and eventually my girlfriend. I don't rush into things. I'm being bold and blunt. I am not going through a pity party cause of heartbreak. I deserve a good woman. If you ain't that person, then who are you?

So I got this opportunity to talk to her. She was on bedrest. She didn't want to hug me or even kiss me. I asked her why? She just told me she's not feeling well and I'll be in the hospital until March.

She said that she didn't "block" me on Facebook and I was just overracting.

Okay, cool I accept that. I asked if there's anything I can do. She told me that it will come in due time.

So few weeks pass and I asked how she doing! No response. So I call and leave countless messages.

No response.

So once again I decided to mingle. I went to the social networks to find a few women. I went on a few dates. These women were not attractive.  They were HUGE disasters. So I decided to not worry about it. I kept a relatively low profile and focused on working. 

Like all men and women scorned, I create a fake profile on Facebook to see if she was really telling the truth about Facebook. I noticed a medical band on her hand and thought nothing of it.

Well Jessica V. called this past few days. I asked her why was she avoiding me! She didn't come out with the truth. So I asked again, "You're not pregnant right!" 

Jessica V. paused and said, Yes! I gave birth to my son while I was at the hospital.

I was shocked and saddened! 

How could she lie to me?

She said that she couldn't have an abortion. She knew that we both didn't support it and it was going to be a devastating life change.  

She knew that if I found out, I would be devastated and end all ties with her.

She told me that her son died at birth. He was a stillborn. He was seven or eight months in. Just about the time I've associated with Jessica V. 

So I was upset. I was mad. But I was forgiving. However I lost all trust for her and I was ready to move on. 

I texted her.

I can forgive you... And I am serious, I really forgive you! However, I can never trust you. You lie.

Even if you do all you can to prove that you are trustworthy, it will be hard. I want to move forward.

You can't keep your word nor understand my plight.

I figured the reasons why I never show my feelings is because I felt like it's a weakness. I am not going to shed tears. I'm going to dust myself off and try again. I will find the right one.

I am a human being first, everything else last.

How I knew you were lying is the fact that I can't reach you through social media. Like I told you, you have blocked me because you didn't want me to find out.

Eight months down the drain.

I LOVE YOU.

You don't love me....

I'm ready to move forward!

She replies that she loves me. I rejected that I told her that I can forgive but I can't trust you. You don't love me because what type of person would lie about something as big as this?

So I asked one more time to see me. Scratch that. I told her that I want to see her now. I gave her an ultimatum. If she fails at this, we move forward. She said that she will come and see me. 

So that day came. Time passes by. She would call saying that she had to see her friends and she will make me a top priority after that. Soon after it was getting late. I called her. I asked what's taking so long. She told me that she's going through a coping phase. I said okay, go home. No, I am going to see you. I just want to clear my head first. 

Well I had enough. I had to let her have it. I told her that I've exhausted all I can. I told her that I want a GOOD woman. I want to raise a family. I want to be happy. 

I admit it's my fault. I do tend to be quite stubborn. But due to the fact that I've been hurt too many times, I have to be this way. I wasted my time chasing.

She responded by saying that she wants to be left alone.

So I left her no choice. I told her that I wish her well.

My condolences to you on losing your son. The pain of losing a child is more than anything I can imagine. I can heart with her. But based on broken promises and continued lies, I am done. I am moving one.

My feelings having change for you. You have. I am done with the lies, the deception and the broken promises. I am wasting my time.

I did everything right but ignored the obvious. Maybe now I will require standards when meeting women.

I'm sadden by this. She tells me that she's not like every other person. But yet, Jessica V. proven to be a user and a liar. I never sugar coat my feelings. I gave up a lot of females who I really had feelings for just to be in a committed relationship. A relationship with her.

She changed me. She changed me for the better. I promise you this. 

She doesn't want to talk to me and wants to be left alone. I respect that. But this will be the last time I contact with her. As of now, I have removed all contacts and I will move forward. 

I've been single most of my life. I can wait a little longer.

I guess what I am saying! I just thought that one day will come when I eventually will settle down.

But today, it's another challenge ahead. So I keep the faith and move on.....

Blame Game: The Murder Of Three Young Muslims In North Carolina!

Three innocent lives were lost to gun violence. This cold blooded killer murder this family over issues with their religion. The racist right wants to label the suspect a "liberal" extremist.

This cold blooded killer is the person the media should focus on. Of course, the junk food media and the partisan agitators have to make note of the suspects "political affiliations" and the victims being Muslims.

A young couple and family member were gunned down by this ignorant bigot. This bigot is facing capital murder in the deaths of Yusor Abu-Salha, 21, and Razan Abu-Salha, 19, along with Yusor's husband, Deah Barakat, 23.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to Yusor, Razan and Deah. Their innocent lives were cut short by this Craig Stevens, a 46 year old nerd who had hatred for Muslims.

The agitators are figuring this is a hate crime. Obviously the junk food media has concluded that this dispute occurred over a parking spot.

Police received a report of gunfire shortly after 5pm yesterday in the Chapel Hill neighborhood of Finley Forest; all three victims died at the scene. In a statement today, CHPD reports "our preliminary investigation indicates that the crime was motivated by an ongoing neighbor dispute over parking."

Criminal act....

The Charlotte Observer notes that all three victims were Muslim, and speculation is rife on social media that it could have been a hate crime. The Independent notes a Facebook page in Hicks' name that shows him to be an apparent supporter for "Atheists for Equality" and a frequent poster of images that mock religion. 

Barakat was a doctoral student in UNC-Chapel Hill’s School of Dentistry. The sisters were N.C. State University students.

Barakat's wife, Yusor Abu-Salha, was scheduled to start dental studies at UNC in the fall; the two worked together to lobby for global public health and had just married on Dec. 27 (wedding photo here). Sister-in-law Razan was studying architecture at North Carolina State University. An "Our Three Winners" Facebook page dedicated to the family is up, with a poignant "About" section that says, "Deah Barakat, Yusor Abu-Salha and Razan Abu-Salha have returned to their Lord. They have set an example in life and in death."

Fresh Off The Boat....

ABC will debut Fresh Off the Boat.

Looks like ABC is going to greenlight it's first Asian American sitcom since the cult classic All-American Girl featuring entertainer Margaret Cho.

The comedy series starring Randall Park, Constance Wu, Ian Chen, Forrest Wheeler and Hudson Yang that is loosely based on the life of chef and food personality Eddie Huang and his book Fresh Off the Boat: A Memoir. It's going to placed on the Death Slot.

It's going to be similar to UPN (later CW) series Everybody Hates Chris.

The controversial Fresh Off the Boat was once titled Far East Orlando and it pissed off many people especially show creator Eddie Huang. They felt that the series was degrading to Asian Americans.

Huang is a famed hip-hop celebrity chef and writer. He based his sitcom from his days of growing up in Orlando after leaving Washington, DC. He lived with his Taiwanese family during his upbringing and learned culinary during his rise to fame. The sitcom follows Eddie through his school and his family's steakhouse.

His show will likely replace freshman sitcom Cristela featuring comedienne Cristela Alonzo.

Cristela based her sitcom off her comedy routine. Her show takes place in Dallas where she is a law firm intern who got her family pulling her in all directions. It's a comedy to feature a Hispanic family.

Eddie Huang in Detroit.

ABC also has Anthony Anderson's Black-ish. It features him, Tracey Ellis Ross and Laurence Fishburne as an upscale Black family trying to teach their children to the Black experience.

The show already seems like it's on death watch. TVbythenumbers is the website that determines the fate of sitcoms, dramas and action series on the networks. The bear will eat and some of the sitcoms I've watched for years are gone and here comes another batch of disasters to replace them.

ABC canceled Selfie, and Manhattan Love Story. CBS canceled The Millers in the middle of its second season. NBC canceled Marry Me and A to Z. Fox canceled Mulaney.

Cheers & Jeers!

The president and Congress hear the cries. The president acts out on his word. Republicans vow to fight.

Republicans vow to fight the president every step of the way. During this lame duck session of Congress, the outgoing Democrats are probably going to the networks or private practice. Some may even jump onto the agitator radio circuit.

President Barack Obama delivered his statements Thursday. He told the nation that he's going to enact executive orders in the wake of the failure to pass comprehensive immigration reform.

Immigration advocates and some undocumented workers and their families are praising this decision.

Tonight the president announced his plans to use his executive action to ease up on deportation.

This plan will assist about 1/3 of the undocumented migrants who already been in the country for nearly five years will be exempted. This is brought

The Benghazi select committee spurred by conservative agitators and Republican lawmakers netted again no fault towards the president, Hillary Clinton and CIA.

The Benghazi attack happened on September 11, 2012 when four Americans were killed after a militant group run up on a CIA-sponsored consulate. They used the cover of an anti-Muslim movie to draw an attack on the facility. The mastermind is held in American custody. The racist right has used this as a tool to Republicans win control of Congress. They were trying to find outrageous conspiracies and discredited individuals as

OKCupid Deliberately Trying To Break Couples Up!

Experiment goes wrong. Love website OKCupid angers supporters with its social test.

Online dating is kind of like high school. It's nothing but drama. Even though you may never have met the partner, that person probably knows a person that knows you.

You may have worked with this person. You may have seen this person once in your life. You may have never seen this person whether at school, a social gathering, or even online. However, you joining a social networking website that offers you a chance to date a partner.

I am single. I work two jobs. I am not looking for a relationship (for now). I am only looking for dating and hanging out. I am willing to date any woman. I am into girly girls. I am not into tomboys or obsessive phone/text messaging types. I don't normally be on the phone and I tend to be a reclusive person at times.

I keep a very small circle of friends and acquaintances. Nothing personal, but once you have a weakness, you let your guard down, everyone comes after it. Then of course, the high school mentality kicks in.

He said and she said. That's not the "real" you. Or my personal favorite, you're a nice person, but I just think of us as "friends" and nothing serious.

Been there, done that.

Interracial marriage is on the rise.

Now I have a profiles for Facebook, Blackplanet, POF (Plenty of Fish), Badoo, AYI (Are You Interested), Tagged, and OKCupid. Each opportunity a woman would see my profile and find interest in me.

OKCupid is one of the country's most popular social networking website for relationships. It's free to sign up but if you want stronger access you have to shelve out some dollars.

OKCupid gotten into some trouble this month. To finish out the month, here's a heartbreaker.

The New York Times reports that the users of OKCupid, one of the web’s most popular dating sites, that provide a window into how the company chase romantic partners in the digital age.

At the same time, the results offer yet another example of how websites like OKCupid are sometimes used as social science laboratories — often without telling their subjects.

In June, Facebook disclosed that it had tested to see if emotions were contagious, deliberately manipulating the emotional content of the news feeds for 700,000 people. After the disclosure led to an uproar by users, privacy regulators in Europe began looking into whether the social network had broken any local laws.

Despite the bad publicity faced by Facebook, OKCupid on Monday published results of three experiments it recently conducted on users. In one test, it obscured profile pictures. In another, the site hid profile text to see how it affected personality ratings. And in a third, it told some hopeful daters that they were a better or worse potential match with someone than the company’s software actually determined.

“If you use the Internet, you’re the subject of hundreds of experiments at any given time, on every site,” Christian Rudder, president of OKCupid, wrote on the company’s blog. “That’s how websites work.”

LGBT couples were pleased that the OKCupid CEO put a ban on Firefox. The Firefox co-founder supported California's Proposition 8 ban.

The research found that if an OKCupid user was told that another user had a high compatibility score instead of a low one — the numbers are based on a mathematical formula created by the company — the user was slightly more likely to reach out with a message. Those who believed they were corresponding with a good match were almost twice as likely to send at least four messages compared with people who were told they were a low match.

The test also illustrates how easy it is for a website to manipulate users without their knowing. The small number of users who received changed compatibility scores, some to 90 percent from 30 percent, were not told about the change before the experiment began. After the test ended, OKCupid sent emails revealing the true compatibility scores.

“I understand that that experimentation is part of the process,” said Zaz Harris, 37, a user of the site from Redwood City, Calif. “But I do think that experiment is a lot more invasive than the others because it could affect outcomes in a meaningful way.”

Love is not an experiment.

She added: “I would probably never see someone that the site said was a 30 percent match when we were actually 90 percent, so that is not cool, really.”

Ms. Harris said, however, that her expectations for online dating were low regardless of percentages displayed. If the experiment was short-lived and produced better matchmaking, she said, “It’s not that big a deal.”

OKCupid’s user agreement says that when a person signs up for the site, personal data may be used in research and analysis.

“We told users something that wasn’t true. I’m definitely not hiding from that fact,” said Mr. Rudder, OKCupid’s president. But he said the tests were done to determine how people can get the most from the site. “People come to us because they want the website to work, and we want the website to work.”

The New York Times added that in the other two experiments described on Monday, OKCupid said users were more likely to equate “looks” with “personality,” even in profiles that featured attractive photos and little if any substantive profile information.

And, it said, when the site obscured all profile photos one day, users engaged in more meaningful conversations, exchanged more contact details and responded to first messages more often. They got to know each other. But when pictures were reintroduced on the site, many of those conversations stopped cold.

“It was like we’d turned on the bright lights at the bar at midnight,” Mr. Rudder wrote.

But while appearance matters as a rule, there seem to be exceptions. When people went on truly blind dates that they set up using a companion app with no photos, their enjoyment of the dates was less influenced by looks.

In other words, maybe love can be blind, if you let it be.

Like with Facebook, the internet is a tool to connecting with people. But it's also a tool to driving wedges between families and friends. It's a damn shame that our social networks would disrespect our privacy.

Stockton Woman Dies In Bank Robbery Standoff!

Bank robbers kill a hostage in a gang style shootout with police.

A group of bank robbers kidnap three women and started violently firing upon the Stockton Police. The police opened fired and killed two robbers and one hostage. The surviving robber who barely over 18 is facing capital charges for his role. He survived using the hostage as a shield.

The situation was overshadowed by the tragic plane crash by MH 17 by militants in Ukraine.

This happened on Wednesday afternoon and I was going to post this one earlier. But this tragedy in the air had overshadowed the events.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Misty Holt-Singh. We also send our condolences to those lost in the Malaysian Airlines MH 17 plane crash in Ukraine.

Here's what happened in Stockton.

The Associated Press reports that the violence began at 2 p.m. when officers responded to a call of a robbery at a Bank of the West branch in north Stockton. Arriving officers spotted three men taking three female hostages from the bank at gunpoint. The robbers stole a bank employee's SUV and led officers on the pursuit, Stockton police Officer Joe Silva said.

Misty Holt-Singh with her husband Paul. Upon hearing his wife was killed in a police shootout, he was devastated. The mother of two was a victim of circumstance. Three bank robbers kidnapped her and two other women and held them as hostages. The police ended two of these robber's lives and Misty was killed in the crossfire.

During the chase that lasted 45 minutes along highways and city streets, two of the hostages who are bank employees were thrown from the SUV, police said. One was taken to a hospital with a gunshot wound; the other suffered a grazing bullet wound.

The pursuit continued as the suspects fired with AK-47 style rifles from the SUV. Fourteen police cars and an unknown number of homes along the robbers' path were peppered with gunshots, Police Chief Eric Jones told a news conference late Wednesday.

In the drama that unfolded Wednesday afternoon, the suspects entered the Bank of the West branch wearing hooded sweatshirts and sunglasses and with guns drawn, San Joaquin County Chief Deputy District Attorney Ronald Freitas said. They tied up a security guard, took over the bank and went to the vault to get money, he said.

"It was such a chaotic ... fluid situation, really one of the most dangerous, tense situations that a police officer could go through," Jones said.

"There was a lot on the line and the officers responded appropriately," he said.

This dickhead gangbanger Jaime Ramos used a hostage as a shield to protect himself from a hail of police gunfire.

When the SUV became disabled at a street intersection, officers exchanged gunfire with at least one of the assailants.

"The firing never stopped," Jones said, noting that the suspects had ammunition strapped to their bodies. "They were trying to kill (the officers), no doubt."

When it was all over, the third hostage was found dead in the SUV and one of the robbers was also dead. The police chief said the hostage was a bank customer, and that she appears to have been used by the suspects as a shield during the shootout.

Misty Holt-Singh planned to be gone for just a few minutes when she stepped into her local bank. Instead, she became the victim of three robbers who had gone there, too, planning to take both money and hostages.

As her 12-year-old daughter sat waiting in the car, Holt-Singh and a pair of bank employees were forced into a stolen SUV at gunpoint just as police converged on the parking lot. What followed was a chaotic, hour-long chase through this Northern California city that ended with a furious gun battle. When it was over, the 41-year-old mother of two was dead in the back of the vehicle.

Police said that a suspect, the only one of the three to survive, used her as a human shield as the bullets flew back and forth. An autopsy may determine whether the one that killed Holt-Singh was fired by officers or the robbers.

Police said the other two suspects were taken to the hospital with gunshot wounds, and one of them later died.

The surviving suspect was conscious, Jones said.

Jaime Ramos, 19, of Stockton, who wasn't injured. He will be facing bank robbery, attempted murder, and assault on an officer. The possibility of being tried for murder is possible seeing that a hostage died. These charges could carry life in the iron college if not the gas chamber.

Police said the other robbers, ages 27 and 30, were gang members, also from Stockton. Ramos was scheduled to be arraigned on Monday, and Freitas said prosecutors anticipate charging him with murder and special circumstances including kidnapping, robbery and burglary that could make him eligible for the death penalty.

Police said that they recovered at least three handguns and an assault rifle and that the gunmen had ammunition strapped to their bodies.

The police chief said 20 officers who fired their weapons were put on administrative leave pending an investigation — standard procedure after a shooting. He said he believes the officers acted appropriately.

Witnesses said the shootout that brought the episode to a close looked like a war.

There were causalities in this shootout in California.

"It sounded like five minutes of straight gunfire," witness Sam York told KCRA-TV. "It seemed like it wasn't real."

Jose Maldonado, who said he saw the robbers taking the women out of the bank, said the men had rifles that looked like AK-47s slung over their shoulders and they didn't seem to care that there were police all around.

"They were not afraid. They weren't going to take no for an answer. These poor women, they were screaming, they were so distraught, so scared," Maldonado said.

Jones said the robbers also tied up a bank security guard.

The bank said in a statement that it would not provide information about the victims.

"This is a tragic incident and we are focused on supporting our customers and employees," the statement said.

Be warned the videos you may see will contain graphic violence.

Conservative Outrage Over Obama "BOWING"!

President Barack Obama meets a humanoid robot at a technology event in Japan.

For Pete's sake, the conservative outrage meter is so off the scale.

Newsflash: OBAMA IS A 6'2".

The president is taller than most world leaders. But you can't tell that to our conservative agitating friends.

I am getting really tired of these pathetic outrages from conservatives.

Who the fuck cares if President Barack Obama bows?

Who the fuck cares about Obama taking selfies with Vice President Joe Biden, baseball stars or foreign leaders?

The gateway to extremism.

Obviously, the racist right does. Because you find this on Breitfart and That Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall's website.

The president was in Japan and he was introduced to a humanoid robot. The robot greeted President Obama.

The president was at Miraikan Science Expo in Tokyo, Obama got the chance to meet the latest version of ASIMO, Honda's humanoid robot that can speak and do very lifelike things. Obama and the robot even kicked around a soccer ball together.

Jimmy Kimmel saw how the racist right reacted to the president's bow to a humanoid robot.

He decides to calm the nerves and poke a hole in the outrage.

Kimmel laughed as he showed the headlines about Obama “bowing” to the robot posted on Drudge and Breitbart below, saying, “As if he surrendered his nuclear arsenal to it.”
