Catcalling video, Hollaback, Geeks for CONsent, Agendas
Some backstory:
ComicCon! World famous. Tens of thousands of attendees world wide. A bigger, more famous phenomenon each year.
Oh no! A terrible event! A 17 year old girl who just wanted the fun of dressing up in a safe environment is raped and beaten, left by the side of the road. She may die! How can such atrocities take place? Can't girls be safe while just having some fun?!? Oh the horror! This went on for about a week, with a particular group at the con ginning up as much controversy and outrage as they could.
A friend of the girl and her con buddy were on an FB page I read. So this was not just tragic, but indirectly personal. It was terrible. We all felt for this poor girl as news of her serious condition came out.
*Except* this was Ferguson, Trayvon Martin, Tawana Brawley, Duke Rape Case, etc. ad nauseum infinitum.
The truth?
A spoiled, wild 17 year old was sent in the care of a 29 year old male (probable lover) with permission from the parents (to a con of tens of thousands of geeks, nerds, and total freaks from all over the world), she spent the day dressed provocatively (which I enjoy, when they are ADULTS) **without harassment**, went to a party *that got shut down* at the con, had been doing drugs and booze, got in a fight with her TWENTY NINE year old (*parentally sanctioned*) male companion, wandered off alone, trespassed into an area off limits, tried to climb a fence while drunk and high, and cracked her fool head on the pavement falling off. <- A list of things that, if male, would result in the comment of, "wow, dumbass".
But the Narrative had been set! ComicCon is dangerous for females, and so needs an officially sanctioned (empowered and funded) supervision squad - the agenda all along. The 17yo and her plight had been *used*, to national news.
The group? Geeks for CONsent - activists at cons who feel that women dressing like sluts, therefore going for attention, getting hit on, are suffering unfairly. Oh the humanity. The truth of the group? They aren't geeks. They are leftist activists who pose as cosplay attention whores.
They trace back to a group called ihollaback, the activists in the now famous cat calling video ->
ihollaback, is * working with NYC government to create an instant complaint app to allow women on the street to accuse and convict offenders of the speech crime of what any female in question deems harassment *. That isn't all on their agenda.
ihollaback traces back to the usual leftist suspects.
Be careful what you empower. In this case feminist Gestapo. And that is NOT hyperbole.
My point? This video was entirely calculated, possibly staged, and was well planned in advance by a group with far more on the minds than the supposed harassment of women, and ever more power to get their agenda through.
Links to follow shortly.
I should have archived all of this at the time of posting it on Facebook. At the time I didn't realize the group was going to become so famous. (Foolish of me. I should have.) Now that the catcalling video is out, it appears I'll be referencing back to this previous research in the future. Here it is for your use.
After this cut is the news story that eventually came out about the unfortunate 17 year old girl, excerpts presented in chronological order by me to illustrate what happened here:
___
I'm going to present the excerpts in chronological order because I think it's important to see how it it played out.
"A group called Geeks for CONsent put out a video of harassment stories from ComicCon, then gathered 2,800 signatures demanding an official sexual harassment policy at the San Diego event."
"national headlines looking at sexual harassment policies at Comic-Con."
"Several posts on websites dedicated to cosplayers initially reported that the teen was found unconscious and bleeding on the side of a road near the San Diego Convention Center. One person claimed the girl was last seen running off after having a disagreement with friends."
"Initial media reports said the teen had been beaten"
Side of the road! Beaten! Surely she'd been raped! The furor was in full swing. Look at this! The poor girl wasn't safe at the con! Yes All Women! War On Women! Why can't we keep the women safe at the con!
Where are we with this now?
"A man accused of attacking a 17-year-old Comic-Con attendee this past weekend had been with the girl at the convention"
"Harbor Police told 10News on Monday that ***the victim and suspect left a party together*** inside a Marriott hotel room **at about 11 p.m.** Saturday after a noise complaint shut down the party.
Sources told 10News security found the girl unconscious and bleeding in the hotel's poll area at about 1 a.m. Sunday."

The following is from the middle of a conversation on someone's Facebook page. Forgive me if it doesn't make complete sense pulled from context. The story above should make it clear enough. The person to whom I'm responding here absolutely means well - useful idiots always do. That is what so often empowers leftist thugs; they find a way to sell a bad idea to good people, who then enable the leftists in their power grab. I wanted to make sure everyone was fully informed on who was involved.

From About Geeks for Consent -
http://www.geeksforconsent.org/who-we-are/
"Avid geeks, Rochelle, Erin, and Anna were formerly the team behind HollabackPHILLY, the Philadelphia branch of the global anti-street harassment Hollaback! network." <- I'll come back to this.
"our training manual is being used to train all the Awesome Con 2014 volunteers" - I bet that's an illuminating read.
(But understand, they've now forced a con to train volunteers per their activist manual. That's a first step in community organizing. Going forward they can point to anyone and accuse/convict of a thought-crime. Who will dare defend the poor sap with a "Scarlet Letter" on them?)
"Geeks for CONsent will be the in-house anti-harassment team" - We once called those people "security" and "law enforcement". Suddenly that's not adequate. (For Babylon 5 fans, "Nightwatch" will start ringing in your head about now)
About Hollaback (I'm going to try to restrain myself in my reaction to this)-
http://www.ihollaback.org/about/ -"Hollaback is a movement to end street harassment "
"Street harassment is a form of sexual harassment that takes place in public spaces. At its core is a power dynamic that constantly reminds historically subordinated groups (women and LGBTQ folks, for example) of their vulnerability to assault"
- Hey look. The Gaystapo again.
"Street harassment can be sexist, racist, transphobic, homophobic, ableist, sizeist and/or classist" - SOP leftist divisiveness. Whomever you are, you are part of our oppressed group they can exploit int he name of protection.
"Hollaback! provides comfort to those harassed, and proof that street harassment is a serious problem warranting a serious response from policy makers" - They want a LAW that says that anyone who feels uncomfortable due to the comments or sounds of others in public can get someone prosecuted. (You wonder why I say "gaystapo?")
"Street harassment is one of the most pervasive forms of gender-based violence" - Violence! Here I thought it couldn't get more ridiculous than slutwalks.
"By collecting women and LGBTQ folks’ stories" - Need I say 'gaystapo' again?
"Our leadership training does more than simply tell youth how to lead - it gives them a real platform from which to do it. " - Aaaaand recruitment of future activists. In other words, 'we train you how to agitate and create more agitators', straight from Alinsky's playbook.

Hollaback gets 40K from an org!
http://upstart.bizjournals.com/money/loot/2013/03/07/hollaback-receives-40k-from-knight.html?page=all
I mention this for this quote -
"What's unique about Hollaback's new project is its partnership with the New York City Council, the first time it has partnered with government"
If I spent some significant time doing research I guarantee you I'd find almost everyone up the chain has ties to the Democrat Party and all the funding can be traced back to the Center for American Progress and Soros' Open Society Institute.
This is community organizing SOP - gather people who identify as victims (or champions of the victim), use that group to embarrass intimidate and harass individual management of an organization until they recognize the group, use that recognition to prove legitimacy, seek donations, add training (indoctrination) to expand the group. Suddenly there is another revenue stream into the Left and an instant communications networks for their leaders.
Your motives are noble. You may or may not want to be supporting a leftist group with a leftist agenda they'll continue to insert over time. But make no mistake, that's who you're supporting.
This may seem noble now, but wait until some emboldened activist decides you've looked at her inappropriately (violence!) and your picture and name are appd to a government-approved database with no recourse on your part.
Kristallnacht didn't happen right away. It took years of growth.
I'll get back to the original thoughts in a minute.

Hollaback is more gaystapo, more feminist fascists, same old groups looking for speech and though control. And it's working.
