They’re stealing our attention from real issues
I support trafficked children and women
Not pampered celebrities on casting couches
Who lived privileged lives of glamor
Were worshiped by us commoners
The sheepish peasants
We who bought their music, watched their movies, filled their pockets, groupies sucked their rockets
We the fans feed their decadent glory
Their mansions and sex on jets and yachts and private islands
Me Too is a distraction
From the real trafficked victims.
I don’t care about Gwyneth Paltrow
Or Rose McGowan.
Were they chained up and starved?
Were they kept as slaves in dungeons?
Were they desperate or were they idiots?
I’m not saying they asked for it
But they knew something was coming
They wanted fame
and played the crooked game
and now they think they’re heroes
for speaking out.
Rich people’s lives are living sprouting
soap operas
I know this but get distracted
drawn in to the meaningless gossip.
Maybe it’s all concocted
Drama Rama Ding Dong Poo
Amber Heard left a doo doo
She gave Johnny a boo boo
And allegedly pooped on his side of the bed.
Tired of Gwyneth Paltrow,
Didn’t she gloat and thank Weinstein at the Oscars ritual?
Hollywood Fake and Phoney
Plastic Surgery Amusement Park,
LaLa land that was a desert
Stolen water rechanneled.
The magicians trick is diversion
Distraction comes in all forms
Keep your attention on the truth not the norm.
Question what’s being presented
maligned, celebrated…
What’s being hidden? Why?
What’s being re-formed?
What’s the real agenda?
Who owns the owned media?
The labyrinth obstacle course
Dead ends and moving doors
and floors and walls
crossing sideways invisible forward.
Mirror light refractions blinding illusions towards.
Intuition is an inner hidden wisdom
Close your eyes and concentrate
Trust your inner knowing.
Detectives filter through truth and lies
By Following clues and proof and reason
Maybe whatever the media’s focusing on
Or celebrating should be absolutely, entirely,
Ignored.
Yes, every stage magician has a distraction to take the audience’s attention off what he’s really doing so he can perform his trick.
The elites operate in much the same way.

I agree with you these celeb women are prepared to do what it takes to get hired. They should not cry wolf using Me Too to advertise themselves to gain some recognition. Me Too was started to help those who have been caught in sex trafficking or abuse. There is always someone who will abuse such as “Me Too” to bring attention to themselves.

Yes, they join in to be pseudo heroes and steal the attention from the true victims. I’ve been sexually harassed at work when I was a younger woman but I had the sense to say in front of everyone, “This can be interpreted as Sexual Harrasment” (when our male boss started massaging my neck, he did that to only the females). My boss turned pale and immediately stopped! Haha! That’s what women have to do, expose the truth in front of everyone while it’s happening if that’s possible, and never go to a hotel “meeting” alone, day or night. It’s common sense to me.

You are right there are many things which are blatantly obvious and should be avoided at all costs. One of my employers told me he hired me because He thought I would look good sat outside his office.
They are not heros they are trying to boost perhaps a failing career to get a following. Sad whilst as you say the real victims are living a horror story.

I was just thinking how some on
the ‘Me Too’ bandwagon seem to
be one time beneficiaries, and
career minded participants, of
the old Hollywood casting couch
system. I know that’s where many

old loveable Jimmy Durante had a
notorious reputation for it. No doubt
along with many others with the
power to hire or fire in Hollywood.
But, it appears some of the now

were happy to go couch surfing with
a creep, if it paid off. There’s an old

Ha! 😄The oldest Profession! Now all of Hollywood says they knew Weinstein was a creep, they wear their Time’s up buttons and make long winded speeches (yawn) why didn’t they speak up before? Because they wanted the fame and money more than anything. There’s all kinds of stories about Judy Garland (and her mother!) getting molested by the MGM executives to get and keep the role of Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. It was originally offered to Shirley Temple but she wouldn’t sell out. That’s why she faded into obscurity.

Yes, poor Judy got more than she wanted over the rainbow, she was pre-groomed for exploitation by having an alcoholic father, I think Shirley had a better family background. I think it was Temple and her mom who were the ones to run away from the MGM ghouls.
Polanski! Evil incarnate! I bet he would wear a Me Too button, along with James Franco’s Time’s Up button!

Hi Tabbyrenelle, yes I do have disdain for the Hollywood elites that we’ve been worshipping for decades. It’s too bad that they stole the MeToo movement with their privileged brand, I didn’t know it’s origins and I’m sure most people don’t know it either. Rape and sexual harassment are wrong, but my concern is for the stories of rape, dehumanization of children and poor people that don’t have a platform. Who cares about their lives? No one. Media silence. Thanks for the information.

Most of the celebrities like Alyssa Milano have tried to give credit to Tarana Burke and instead of feeling like these women stole the movement, you might consider how they expanded on it. The history of theatre and not just Hollywood has notoriously excluded and or abused women. Alfred Hitchcock tortured his actresses and he made it near impossible for them to work in the industry if they didn’t sleep with him. You might blame the women, but they were artists like anyone else who wanted to be able to do their craft. Calling out the sexism and harassment in any situation is a good thing. There are many advocates for the poor… there isn’t media silence. I have posted many links in the GPA highlighting those voices. Please feel free to visit that site anytime!
Thanks for your forum and the dialogue. I do understand and agree that more needs to be done to stop violence against women and girls globally. The trafficking was/is aided and abetted by many powerful men in media. I’m glad you are bringing more attention to the problems.

The history of theater led to this actually, women’s roles were portrayed by men at first, then women were allowed on stage but they were commonly known as being prostitutes off stage, giving sexual favors. Hollywood was built on the casting couch, including Judy Garland who won the role of Dorothy away from Shirley Temple, because Shirley wouldn’t permit the molestation but allegedly Judy complied. Hollywood is a gossip hive, they know which actors/producers are especially slimey and they went along with it until it became a trend to complain. My point is that there is an outpouring of media attention on celebrity/wealthy sex scandals and rapes but relatively little mentioned about the ongoing sex trafficking of minors done by political and entertainment elites. Those that have tried to investigate and publish about the real sex trafficking, have been killed. Watch video clips about the Clinton Body Count for instance. Circumstantial evidence at that overwhelming level, needs to be criminally investigated but everyone is too scared to be suicided like Epstein along with hundreds of other whistleblowers. Hollywood’s Me Too dirty laundry, pales in comparison.
