How The Sunday World Libeled Me

In 2016, I wouldn’t even use a newspaper to wipe my arse, but yesterday The Irish Sunday World was brought to my attention when they featured a two-page article slandering me with the headline “Sicko with links to pro-rape group”.

At least they used some bad-ass pics

According to the Sunday World, 2+2 = 5

Look at the quote on the left: “That schoolkid was the best sex I’ve had all year. She likes to call me daddy and slapping … it’s just not as much fun when it’s legal.”

Note the “…”

This headline implies I slept with an underage girl by bridging TWO UNRELATED STATEMENTS from TWO SEPARATE ARTICLES written WEEKS APART with an all-powerful, time-travelling ellipsis … pasting random strings together to make me look a monster, despite the fact the article later mentions the girl in question was a legally consenting adult. I also told Martin Grant this. Of course mentioning this important fact is of little consequence, because the damage has already been done. The headline is all that matters; journalistic integrity be damned.

The extent of this deception is simply break-taking.

Effectively, the Sunday World has falsely accused me of statutory rape. It’s really quite remarkable, but I can’t say I didn’t see it coming. It is a clear case of libel committed by journalist Martin Grant.

I just had an interrogation with Ireland's largest media network. They're armed with my worst quotes out of context. I fear for my family.

We've regressed back to the age of yellow journalism. Feelings trump fact. I hope I won't be thrown under the bus in the name of clickbait.

I wasn’t just was thrown under the bus, I was steamrolled.

My links to a “pro rape” group are a joke.

Then there is the link to the so-called “pro-rape group” Return of Kings that started this whole mess.

I’ve been attacked because of my association with Roosh V and Matt Forney, the site’s owner and editor, respectfully. This is after I wrote an article for RoK promoting my latest book, a work edited by Matt himself.

I also stated support for Roosh V for the malicious lies spread against him by the media. I may not agree with everything Roosh writes—and he certainly isn’t my biggest fan—but he is no rape- advocate and has 10x the integrity of the lazy journalists who defamed him, basing their accusations on an article that a ten-year-old would have understood was satire.

I also stated support for Matt, who I consider a great writer and a personal friend.

For this, I’ve had my reputation tarnished by lies and misleading press.

Why the media attacks?

NOT ONE of the men targeted by the media in this scandal have EVER been accused of a crime, but while REAL rapes are happening in Europe by refugees, the press remain silent. It goes against the narrative. 

Men like me are the natural enemy of the liberal media and their social justice agenda. I’m not ashamed to be a MAN and that pisses people off. I get it. I’ve seen and done it all, and I’ve lived a life that make most people green with envy. I’m reminded of the Japanese proverb “The nail that sticks out will be hammered down.”

Well the hammer won’t work. I’m anti-fragile. I no longer live in Ireland. The truth will always win out in the end. All my friends and family already know everything about my blog, my books, and my life. I make no apologies. You can’t break me.

I’m still here. I’m not going anywhere. I will only profit from your petty lies and grow stronger.

Now, if you don’t mind, I’m going to get back to being awesome.
