The "Bully" Conspiracy (trailer)

Pfc. Sandoval, Pat Macpherson, Ashley Wells, Wisdom Quarterly
Notice that police "lock down" schools with any pretext now? It is a near daily occurrence in Southern California. Does it prepare us for prison or martial law? Police, the ultimate bullies, rule. And we excuse it all by saying, "Boys will be boys."

For a crucial documentary on so important a topic, which might have been better titled "Victim," it is almost certain that those who need to see it most will never get the chance. Why? It has been rated R. Violence, blood, gore? No problem. But cuss words? Never! Our puritanical ways shoot us in the foot again, not accidentally. Who launched our culture of bullying, and what holds it in place?

How did it begin?

Who began imperial invasions and Western hegemony -- brought to a height by the British/United Kingdom ideal blamed on the infamous "Aryan invasion" plan of the Nazis -- and others before them to institute the jungle law (Lord of the Flies) of bullying?

We have a "conspiracy theory" we would like to unfurl. Bullying is too important to our society to allow a film to do anything about. Our policing and war recruiting depend on, so does our seedy sex trade. All three depend on molestation, boundary violation, and even sexual transgression -- bullying.


Police bully blacks, the poor, and the voiceless. Fathers torment whomever they have access to. Why? Well, mainly because they were tormented, and they're angry about it. Mothers lay into daughters and needle sons. Women fight one another in shopping mall parking lots. Girls jump other girls.

And boys have an unmitigated history of hazing, homosexual acts, and horrifying belittling behavior that is all part of growing up American (and British or European or anywhere else with a history of colonization). What prompts us to bother, bug, "bugger," rape, beat, and bring everyone into line? What moves us to gang up on any perceived weakness and be so intolerant of differences? It did not begin with humans.

We speculate the titans and deities (asuras and devas, "demons" and "archangels") brought it here, the former to make trouble and the latter inadvertently by giving some groups and bloodlines a "divine right" to rule as regents until their return.

Most religion now on the planet is the worst form of bullying. The Bible is the book on and of bullying -- first by God, then by kings, then by men (as heads of families), then by wives, then by age, each person in line being beat on and beating the next.

The Western pecking order is not to be upset for fear of heavenly wrath. Was this what the Catholic Church, Inc. meant to do, or was it just the most profitable way to go in the long run? Are priests taught to molest our sons, pilfer our pockets, and scare the h-e-double-hockey-sticks out of everybody else? Who knows? God might smite us for even asking.

So with hate on one side and fear on the other, strong and weak, father and mother figure, conspire and squeeze us. They bully us. They toughen us up "for our own good." They make us future perpetrators. And we have a growing prison system, drug abuse problem, and sex work industry to show for it.

With all that on the line, it is a wonder "Bully" didn't get an NC-17 rating to make sure no one would see it.

See it. Take your kids. Get the PTA to show it to all the other parents. Screen it at assemblies for school kids to see. Is there any reason why the "bad words" couldn't be bleeped to protect our childlike ears?
