He recently called out Jared Leto for going after underage girls. Cabal confirmed?

I just remembered when James and his girlfriend infiltrated that alien sex cult.

I finished reading it just fine. I imagine Therno is quite capable of practicing some sort of law as there's basically infinite shitty cases to hustle, but you crying that he isn't taking really difficult cases-- the ones of people treated "unjustly" by the courts and requiring experienced masters of procedure and trial oration-- is just pointless. It is a non-criticism.

I'm not saying you're wrong about that (I'm not even addressing that). Slow down, hoss.

What I am saying--and please pay attention--is that Cernovich holds himself out as some kind of legal-eagle expert and genius, and expects people to give him money and respect his authoritah because of it. If he thought he was that smart and qualified, he would be going out and lawyering, even above his level of competence (see, e.g., Russell Greer). He won't attempt to do the work of a legal-eagle expert and genius, though, because despite his bluster, he knows he's not; the mask would fall off in full view of his marks.

I'm not crying about him not doing the work; you're assuming some kind of emotional component where there isn't any. I'm simply pointing out that he's not going to for reason that he's both lazy and knows he's not as bright as he would like people to think.

He's a licensed lawyer but earlier in the thread it was learned that 1) it took him significantly longer to pass the bar exam than normal (I think he retook it like 7 times) 2) He has never actually been in court and basically lives off of his ex-Wife's alimony money.

He's never been in court, and he's "self-employed". He may dole out legal advice, but I'd think he'd wilt if he actually had to argue a case in court.

Cerno's first blog was about law cases and he used to brag to people that he was featured on a "Supreme Court" case. I don't know how true that is, but he's not just some guy who got a law degree and floated somewhere else due to circumstance. I've known MikeCF since 2012 and he would brag constantly about being a hotshot lawyer. He also bragged about being a kickboxing legend as well.

Per his own words (quoted originally in the OP for this thread):

"I ghostwrote briefs that were filed in the United States Supreme Court as a 3L."

Which could mean something as small as "I helped to draft a couple of amicus briefs that got rubber-stamped by my professor, in exchange for course credit." Vague wording is the first signal that the person speaking may be stretching the truth.

Cerno's spent a month making it known he wishes "to retire from public life," so to fund his retreat to contemplative austerity, he has developed a new thing, which is the third word in "Gorilla Mindset Network."

International Network members get personal calls with Cerno, an adventure trip with Cerno somewhere in the world once a year (that's the International part), and two seminars a year that might feature anti-aging doctors or weight-lifting trainers or... trial lawyers.

"It will cost $9,997 a year if paid at once, and the Network is for people in a position to make highly leveraged moves in life.

"(The Network is $997 a month for those who choose to pay every month.)"​

He says he is limiting membership to 100, so you guise, he won't even be making a million dollars a year doing all this hard work if everybody pays up in full instead of dragging it out every month until they've each paid in $11,964 to get themselves playing "at a much higher level."

But wait. What if you only have $4,997? Then you can join his National Network and not go on the adventure trip with the International Network kewl kidz. The kewl kidz, by the way, still pay travel costs, but Cerno provides... lodging.

Jesus Fucking Christ the internet parody featured in GTAIV and V was not that far from the real thing. I could totally picture Brucie Kibbutz setting up his own Genetically Superior Network where you could hang out and party with him for a not so nominal fee.

I was actually somewhat sympathetic to Therno when Vic Berger started parodying him making him look like a child abuser, because that said Tweet could easily be misconstrued to being reality. But no this dude needs to be laughed at for trying to sell his friendship.

But to vacay with Null, I would def pay 9,997 in Vietnamese dongs (actual name of nation's currency because Vietnam is lit).

The International Null Network. No salty phone calls, no autistic seminars with failed lawyers, nothing but roaring around a once war-ravaged country on motorcycles reminding everybody what total shits Americans are. Everybody on Instagram would stim for days.

Gueth who on a bike in 'Nam. For $10k you can relive his past adventures to become more like him.

But with International Null Network pricing, you'd get change back from this thith Pat Morita tribute money.

"The only rape culture is Muslim rape culture"
Yeah I would say that's not entirely right, you have to add Indian and African rape cultures in there as well.

But how strange it is that someone who used to have that stance is now offering a Mindset Master Class (http://archive.is/6eMlA) where the rules are:

1. No politics.
That means no politics. No discussion of how some candidate is ruining the economy. Besides, politics isn’t mindset related. We want to know how YOU can improve your life.
2. Respect for all points of views, including religions.
No one in the group should be preaching, but if someone is talking about challenges during Ramadan, that’s cool. And I don’t want to hear anyone attacking religions.
3. All genders welcome.
For some reason, people ask if women are allowed at seminars. About 30% of my readership is female. Of course women will be welcome, everyone is.
