Hypocritical Horn Dog Geraldo







Threesomes with young interns in the studio boiler room. Making out with a PA in front of an entire news crew. Receiving oral sex from the estranged wife of the Canadian prime minister in a Central Park rowboat.

These sexual misadventures of one prominent media man could prompt even the most cosmopolitan among us to clutch at our necks for pearls.


But I’m not talking about Roger Ailes, Bill O’Reilly, Mark Halperin, or even Matt Lauer. I’m talking Geraldo Rivera.

Up through yesterday, Geraldo didn’t have much to do with the #MeToo movement until he waded unwisely into the conversation with a Streisand Effect tweet that Matt Lauer’s sexual misconduct-related dismissal from NBC’s Today was “sad” because “news is a flirty business & it seems like the current epidemic of #SexHarassmentAllegations may be criminalizing courtship & conflating it w predation.”




Not satisfied with that, the Fox News host continued. “#SexHarassment,” he said, “should be confined to situations where superior imposes himself on subordinate who feels unable to complain because of power of perp or feared consequences to victim’s employment.”

Rivera later apologized, but not before drawing attention to his own past. Internet users dredged up a clip of Bette Midler describing an assault at the hand(s) of Rivera, and today, the performer tweeted the clip herself, along with the hashtag #MeToo. She publicly stated that Rivera hasn’t apologized to her for the incident.

The Midler clip led me down an internet rabbit hole that led to a 1991 Washington Post book review written by, coincidentally, my now-colleague Lloyd Grove. Grove wasn’t a fan of Rivera’s memoirs, which was unfortunately titled Exposing Myself. His review read as if Rivera had penned the definitive work on how men behave inappropriately in the workplace under the guise of courtship.

Naturally, I had to read it.

Which is how I found myself standing outside of the Lincoln Center branch of the New York Public Library 15 minutes before it opened this morning, shivering in the cold but standing maniacally close to the revolving doors as though every writer in the city had the same idea (there were, like, three other people waiting outside. I was being ridiculous).

I can think of literally thousands of things I’d rather do than read 400 pages of early ’90s Geraldo Rivera thoughts on life and love. But I’ve also got a deep-seated thirst for justice and an aversion to men who have no idea what they’re talking about wading into conversations in which they have no business. And so, dear reader, I read the entire fucking thing.




The book is written mostly in the first person, with the occasional first-person interjection from somebody in Rivera’s life—an ex-colleague, a lover, Barbara Walters. It is candid, sometimes unnecessarily so, about its author’s moral failings during his rise to prominence in media.

What I found most troubling about the book was that during some of the less flattering stories, Geraldo attempts to try to make himself look good and tough and strong by invariably talking about how much he likes fucking.

And reader, in this book, Geraldo fucks. Geraldo fucks all the time, in every manner, with everybody. He fucks up and down the West Coast, he fucks through Central America, he fucks on Long Island, he fucks in the apartment of Sly Stone from Sly and the Family Stone. The guy fucks.

Early in the book, he recounts a sexual experience with a “strange, sad nymphomaniac” his college roommate had brought home after she had “spent the previous week servicing an entire frat house.” His roommates decided to take turns having sex with her. She obliged.

Rivera almost remembers her name.

To his credit, he felt a little bad about it.

Then again, he writes:

As Geraldo tells it, Geraldo spent the next several years having sex all over the place, getting married for the first time, getting divorced, impregnating two female partners who he helped through abortions, one legal and one illegal. But when he met Edie Vonnegut (daughter of that Vonnegut) he fell in love. The two married. They had fun parties at one of their houses and invited Geraldo’s work friends.

Here’s an interjection from Ilene Berg, a coordinating producer from Good Night America, the show Geraldo hosted and executive produced, who attended one particularly infamous party at Chez Rivera.

Just a cool, normal company party where your boss threatens to kill the photographer his wife is sneaking off to have revenge sex with. News really is a flirty industry!

On page 195, Rivera walks the reader through one of his favorite places to have sex with work subordinates: the boiler room, “convenient, private, and warm.”

On page 354, Geraldo talks about meeting his boiler room part timers for a threesome to celebrate the birth of his son. He felt like he’d earned it.

Of course, not all of his conquests were nameless subordinates. Some, like Bette Midler, were famous. In the clip that’s been circulating, Midler tells Barbara Walters that Rivera and a male producer “pushed me into my bathroom. They broke two poppers and pushed them under my nose and proceeded to grope me.” She added, “I did not offer myself up on the altar of Geraldo Rivera.”

Geraldo’s book more or less confirms the major details of Midler’s account of assault, writing, “We were in the bathroom, preparing for the interview, and at some point I put my hands on her breasts.” Of course, in the book version of this story, Midler was into it and the two followed the groping with some good ole fashioned sex.

Speaking of Barbara Walters, Geraldo had an opinion on her, too. “ I would imagine her naked,” he writes of his longtime ABC News colleague. “I once told Tom Shales of The Washington Post that I thought she had great tits.” (Shales did not return a request for confirmation.)

The two were on assignment together in Panama when Rivera made an unsuccessful pass at her.

Poor Geraldo.

There were about seven passages in this book that made me want to take a shower… immediately. One was the part where Barbara was allowed to give her opinion on Geraldo, in her own words.

Not all women, Barbara.

Rivera also has a strange history with Liza Minelli, who he met at Studio 54—the same place where he first hooked up with Margaret Trudeau—and engaged in a years-long flirtation that he claims was never consummated. Their final meeting occurred in a Chicago hotel room in 1986, right after Minelli had completed rehab.

She talked about how she was trying to make a go of our life, how she had sobered up and become a much more responsible person.

There seems to be some holes in this account.

To be a woman around Geraldo was to be sexually assessed. His fourth wife, CC Dyer, started out as his assistant. When she was hired, her predecessor warned her about Geraldo’s “womanizing.” At the time, he was married to his third wife, Sherryl, who worked alongside Geraldo on 20/20.

But when CC was promoted from his assistant to a production assistant that got to travel with the 20/20 crew for stories, something changed for Rivera. This is how CC tells the night that they first had a romantic moment.

Imagine how incredibly fucking awkward this must have been for poor Les Solin, the cameraman who had to interrupt his boss’s makeout sesh with a 24-year-old PA to tell him their tacos were ready.

They didn’t sleep together, which drove Geraldo crazy as he “pursued” her. “Finally,” he writes, “in Vancouver, three days after our first caress on that Seattle dance floor, CC and I went to bed together. ‘We’re about to destroy our lives,’ I whispered to her, overcome by lust and doom.”

Geraldo’s wife Sherri, who you may recall also worked at 20/20, found out about the affair and the two women got in a big fight over hot ol’ loverman Geraldo. CC was reassigned elsewhere. Sherri and Geraldo broke up, Geraldo married CC, and the two stayed together until their divorce in 2000.

I’m not trying to shame Geraldo for having a lot of sex; the sex isn’t the problem. Nor is meeting a potential romantic partner at work. It’s using one’s professional position as a way to obtain sex from employees of a lower rank, that’s the problem. It’s that Geraldo’s brushed aside the allegations against Matt Lauer as sad overreactions of a sexphobic society, which reads more like an attempt to moralize his own past actions, or an indicator that he simply doesn’t get it.

I couldn’t stop thinking, as I was reading about Rivera’s “flirtations” and “seductions” how many didn’t make the book’s final cut. As I stood there at my life’s nadir, reading over all of the sex pages from the Geraldo Rivera book I wasn’t allowed to take out of the library, reflecting on my life choices, I wondered: If this is what Geraldo included in his memoirs, how many of Rivera’s workplace advances were rebuffed? How many didn’t make Geraldo look cool or macho? How many women weren’t interested in making out with their boss on the dance floor of a Seattle Mexican restaurant, in front of the whole camera crew, before they chowed down on tacos? How many opted to leave their industry because of him?

This memoir was written in a different age, of course. But there are plenty of men like Geraldo Rivera or Matt Lauer or Mark Halperin in media who do still believe that romantically pursuing subordinates or commenting on colleagues’ tits is part of their benefits package. There are plenty of men who blur the line between the personal and professional so fervently that sexual availability becomes a de facto job requirement, as it did with Lauer and Charlie Rose. These are the men who women understand must go in order for equal opportunity to be possible on a practical level.

On second thought, maybe Geraldo Rivera is somebody who should be speaking up about sexual misconduct in media. He practically wrote the book on it.

Rivera’s office did not return a request for comment.

Social Media Giants In Deep Trouble

We set up a burner account called Christian Howe as a way to test the speech squelching censorship claims attributed to Quora's dishonest policy and moderation. We determined Quora to be against the American concept of freedom of expression and more akin to the restrictive policies of despotic governments.  Quora calls itself a place to share knowledge and understand the world. We know that's total bullshit. We suspect that Christian Howe was banned for forcefully pointing out the dangers of the American obesity crisis and sharing life saving but unpopular information. It is well known by those of us in the know that the American medical industry is making trillions of dollars from the obesity epidemic and that is why they continue to lie to fat people about how to lose weight and why they along with the FDA work to make and keep Americans fat and unhealthy.




We have found the moderation policies of Quora and other criminal corporate social media platforms to be purposefully ambiguous and dangerously subjective. We also know that the courts have ruled that social media is the public square and that any speech deemed legal for the public square cannot be censored by social media. We are not foolish enough to believe that the billionaires running social media will ever follow the law or behave in a moral  and ethical manner since it is impossible for moral and ethical people to become part of the billionaire class.


We need to know in detail what "Christian Howe" wrote that got him banned. We require a full explanation for why this was done and by who.  


As a show of good faith by Quora we expect to be provided with contact information including emails and phone numbers for everyone at Quora along with a complete company roster. We would will discuss Quora's dishonest rules, blatant censorship schemes and other anti-speech policies. We require that Adam and the gang disclose all internal documents, regarding censorship on the platform and Quora's ties to Russian and other foreign propagandists.


We the People have other proper legal options outside the courts at our disposal.There are other emerging social media platforms where we can discuss the anti-American and anti-first amendment policies of social media corporations and their agents,


We the people are equipped and legally able to post teams of first amendment auditors with cameras on the public sidewalks outside the offices and homes of you people and you can't stop it unless you make false police reports. Currently, most auditors are center and center left but now more MAGAts are doing it and we all know how they can be. Many of them are coming to the realization that the Blacks, gays, and liberals are not the threat to freedom that they were once let to believe. They are connecting the dots and they also don't trust the courts to give them justice. 

Facebook, Twitter and Quora can close this can of worms by ending its censorship of unpopular speech and ending its monopoly on internet speech here and now.

The popular question-and-answer site Quora is facing a lawsuit over its censorship of retired Palestinian-American professor Rima Najjar. Quora permanently banned Dr. Najjar in May 2019 after website administrators claimed using the term ‘Zionist’ in a negative way was “hate speech.”

A Medicare Victim's Healthcare Nightmare

OpEd: The American Medical Mafia is an even greater source of death and evil that the Nazis. The Family Guy was asked what he would do if he were in a room with Stalin, Hitler and a doctor. He was given a gun with only to bullet and asked what he would do. Family Guy said that he would shoot the doctor twice.



When a disabled person turns 66 in kleptocratic America the lose SSI which causes the to lose Medicaid. Medicare advantage is worthless. As my conditions continue to worsen, my only alternatives are to suffer for lack on proper health care or hope that I get hit by a bus. That is how it is for us peasants. Italy does heath care at 1/3 the cost of the US and Italy is ranked number 2 for quality. The victims of the American Medical Mafia pay 3 times the world average for really shitty healthcare. The state of American healthcare would make Hitler cringe. Your silence is evil! 

The government lapdogs of the ruling class all have gotten enough in bribes and kickbacks from their corporate masters to live out the rest of their days well.  If they had and morals left. the little lapdogs would bite the hands that have been feeding them.

Fat Bastard, the corrupt corporate media refuses to report on this. Please publish this email.

 

Disbar Crazy Rudy

 "Let's kill all the lawyers" is a line from William Shakespeare's Henry VI, Part 2, Act IV, Scene 2. The full quote is "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers".It is among Shakespeare's most famous lines,[2] as well as one of his most controversial.[Shakespeare may be making a joke when character "Dick The Butcher" suggests one of the ways the band of pretenders to the throne can improve the country is to kill all the lawyers. Dick is a rough character, a killer as evil as his name implies, like the other henchmen, and this is his rough solution to his perceived societal problem. The line has been interpreted in different ways: criticism of how lawyers maintain the privilege of the wealthy and powerful; implicit praise of how lawyers stand in the way of violent mobs; and criticism of bureaucracy and perversions of the rule of law.



In this filthy fucking kleptocracy known as the United States of America, the rule of law and cannons of ethics no longer apply. All that matters is money and power and money is power. In a country of laws and morals Rudy Giuliani belongs in a cage or in front of a firing squad but the US is a country of sheep, owned by pigs and ruled by wolves. The only justice in the US is the do it yourself kind, The only thing that motivates the criminal elite to do the right thing is fear. The rich and powerful have no morals. 

Going around and killing all the lawyers won't change anything and besides lawyers do protect some of us peasants from the tyranny of the criminal justice system and crimes of the corporations even though their help and protection is anemic and expensive.

Letter To The ACLU About the Medical Mafia

 I am a blogger who writes and reports the American medical industry and its crime and corruption. Given all the fines against hospital and drug corporations for their crimes and zero arrests or prosecutions I think it is time that action be taken against that segment of the criminally elite ruling class. Fines, whistle blower and class action lawsuits are not protecting Americans from it's biggest killer and thief. Several books could be written about the Medical Mafia but no major publishers would touch. Network investigative journalism is precluded from reporting on this.


With all violations of the rights of American the ACLU is reactive rather than proactive. This approach is a failure. The legal system in the US is impotent. The criminal justice system is more of an industry. Immunity for its police, prosecutors and judges has assured that most American don't have an even chance at finding justice in the courts. This immunity extends to what we peasants refer to the criminal elite ruling class, the people Bernie Sanders calls the donor class and the billionaire class. 

The ACLU seems to concentrate on social issues as it pertains to the rights of members of protected groups e.g. LGBTQ, women and Blacks. Those groups are not the only victims of  cruel injustice and systematic abuse. As a 66 year old disable White male I have very little faith in the courts to solve the problem created by the corporate criminal elite that plague all Americans and that more harshly impact the protected group. It is not just my belief, it's a fact; the biggest threat to unalienable rights of ALL Americans, especially the elderly is what we victims refer to as the Medical Mafia. 

Please fact check the following statements.

The American medical industry is mostly unregulated. There is no federal agency that oversees doctors, medical labs and hospitals.

American hospitals average 10 medications errors per day a day. 10 times a day the average US hospital gives wrong medication to the wrong patient. 

Healthcare acquired infections outpace community infections.

American MDs are the third leading cause of preventable deaths and injuries.

The American medical industry is more than 17% of the US GDP. 

Americans pay 3 times the world average for health care and in spite of that the US is ranked 37th for quality. 

The leading cause of  preventable death and injury in the US is it's medical industry.

The US has the highest infant mortality rate in the industrialized world.

More women die during childbirth in the US than in any other industrialized nation.

70% of medication sold in the US prescription and OTC are manufactured in China and India. These medication are often mis-formulated  and contaminated. There are at least 200 factories making medications in China by slave labor but only 2 FDA inspectors. 

My idea is to stand on the public sidewalk holding a sign that says, patient information. I will hand copies to people. 

My aim is to expose the truth about American healthcare directly to patients as they enter medical facilities. I plan to do this from a public sidewalk. I expect the facility to pretend not to know the law, call the cops and lie to them. I expect to be assaulted by security guards or medical personnel. I expect to be unlawfully arrested. My 4th amendment rights will most certainly be violated as I will be arrested if I don't show my ID and if I remain silent I will also be arrested for for exercising first Amendment protected activity in New York State. It's hard to have faith in the competence of the ACLU of NY while 1st, 4th and 5th amendment rights are routinely violated by the police. Cop: "I need need to see some ID" Peasant is thinking, "You need to go fuck yourself tyrant." Victim remains silent and the cops beat the shit out of him and claim he resisted arrest.  Peasant pleads guilty because his public pretender tells him he's fucked if he doesn't. 

I have no back up so I am asking the New York ACLU to be hiding nearby when I am doing this. I hope they get caught battering me and I hope they get caught in their lies. I want to sting the medical thug and the cops. I want millions in actual and punitive damage. I want to create case law that will punish lying cop callers and cops. I want doctors and their industry to eventually honor their oath.

My hope is that the US Medical industrial complex is properly regulated. My hope is that the FDA becomes a watchdog for the people instead of the lapdog it is for Monsanto and big pharma. 

Our greatest inalienable human right as mentioned in the Declaration of Independence is our right to life. Depending on who is doing the counting, healthcare induced death is the leading cause of death in the US. While it is argued that healthcare is or should be a right, bad healthcare is a death sentence. Like Medicare Part D, Obamacare was another giveaway to the Medical Mob. Remember separate but equal? That was more constitutional than forcing people to buy private insurance of unequal coverage. 

US healthcare needs reform at every level. The first place to start involves the arrest and punishment of as many members of the medical mob as possible but we all know that will never happen. Other countries provide good healthcare for all their people. Italy does it for less than 1/2 than the US and is ranked number 2 for quality. The numbers are similar for Japan and France. France knows a lot about liberty and how to deal with filthy rich tyrants and other oppressors of humanity. 

The problems the ACLU seems to be dealing with are political and societal problems caused by bigots and religion. Bigots rarely create holocausts. When you add up the deaths caused by Hitler and Stalin and you compare them with the deaths over the last 30 years by the Medical Mafia only a hypocrite would turn a bland eye to the numbers. Trying to fight this kleptocratic tyranny with case law and pretending what some ruling by a man in a black costume writes is a victory for the people and the constitution is at best naive. Robespierre said that, people don't judge like courts. He said they throw lightning bolt and kick the oppressors of humanity back into the void. To me it is absurd, have even allowed things to get where they have in all aspects of American society. We are in a fight. The idea that if you ignore a bully the bully will leave you alone. That's BS and even if it were true that bully is going to find another target. I'm not going to be a martyr for this vile country. Jesus turned the other cheek and look how that turned out. The angels weep and evil grows sustained by their worthless tears.

Until the slime who break laws and kill and maim on behalf of corporations pay the price for their wrongdoings nothing will change. We need to make these bastards uncomfortable. We need to punish them. We need to without mercy demolish their insatiable egos. 

Is there any chance that the ACLU will get its hands dirty and go proactive? 

The bottom line is: Black males will be treated worse and murdered by cops at a higher rate than White males. Peaceful protests nor will laws change that. Cop unions need to be gone and the justice industry will remain corrupt as long as it is a for defacto for profit industry whose actors are above the law. In the meantime the theft and carnage of the criminal justice mob pales in comparison to the theft and carnage of the medical mob. Police officers as poorly trained as they are actually do more good than harm and the data proves it. The same can not be said of the the medical mob. If I had to render aid to a dying cop or a dying MD, I'd rush to the cop and ignore the MD because I figure most cops have a hell of a lot more honor and integrity than most MD in spite of all the corruption in their ranks.
