'everything is political' - yeah, right!

For me, life isn't inherently political, but the non-binary band clearly sees things that way. What Cass hasn't said publicly is that she believed my identity wasn't valid. Because I wasn't 'transgressing' in US style. The Red Scare creeps spent years calling me a misogynist. They spent years trying to force an androgynous man that occasionally wore dresses. That's why I'm claiming it's conversion therapy. - Nothing could be further from the truth. I'm out and prouder than them. All the non-binaries and stealths need to face their own lack of pride in themselves. As I said, identity is a search for comfort, not a search for intentional defiance. It's a fucking weak form of defiance if you aren't 24/7. - They thought they were 'correcting' evil behaviours, but they were just torturing me. James Cain and Cassandra Tse used their political connections to claim to the world that they were the horse whisperers who had a unique ability to bond via show music, as I was an autistic weirdo that could only communicate via show tunes. You called me an idiot savant, and expect me to walk away without an apology? Even in 2020, I'd proved myself a competent journalist and a pot expert, as well as surprising people with my scientific literacy and general interest in NZ history. How well did your plan work? It's been several years, and you haven't been able to find one project that we could agree on, and you've never offered to ask me to look at your scripts or songs. That indicates one-way traffic with the intent of exploiting my IP. Their refusal to apologise is also political, 'it would damage the town to hear it' bs that pretends as if the town hasn't already heard it. Tory's loss was a direct result, even though she's blaming it on the haters (incl. me). Damages seem fair, and public apologies are the goal. - Julie Anne, the word is 'non-negotiable' - they go to prison otherwise.

That's my message to Marama. Cass must be sacked.


The party owes me compensation and a plain apology. Even one day of filming would be a clear breach of the Copyright Act. Cassandra Tse must ACCEPT this legal statement. Zero films, zero plays, zero songs. Zilch, zip, nada. I refuse to perform for bigots, and you two are the biggest bigots. Show me any documentation that consists of an agreement: I didn't sign any, so my guess is that you aren't able to demonstrate a good-faith agreement with consideration. If the Green Party can't turn up such evidence, then persists with the threats, the scandal erupts; Chloe and Ricardo will jump ship to AMPP, the Greens will lose a few percent, and we might end up with 6 seats or so. If there is no contract, no agreement and no consideration, then there isn't a film.
