Looks like my first location for the press conference fell through.

Does anyone have any suggestions on where to hold this in DC? I need something last minute.

My office, with John Holmes movies being played on every t.v. and computer screen here. Seriously, I would say Langley Park. It's amazing how good that place is at keeping certain people out due to the (irrational) fear of being stabbed within five minutes of arriving there.

Fell through? Is someone pressuring the location(s) to cancel on you?

Roosh, some quick pointers.

Express regret for the harm that has happened, but don't not express any regret for any harm that you've caused. You have caused no harm, and shall never admit to doing so.

Express more regret that your words were twisted, that American high school teachers are so decrepit that their graduates don't know what satire is, and that so many people in these happy times made themselves miserable by believing lies about you.

   

You're not the only one saying this.. but No! No apologising, no playing the victim and no admitting of mistakes or regret.

You can make the media out to be the bad guy, but we all know men don't get a lot of sympathy from trying to be the victim. Remain strong and positive. It's YOUR press conference so you can answer questions however you want and bring up the main points of neomasculinity.

Make a short statement at the beginning of the press conference explaining how you are not a rapist or a rape advocate.

Include some subtle criticism of the media for not doing ANY research at all and lying to their massive audience.

Imply how ridiculous and stupid people must be to think that 'rape advocates' are a real thing, or that they could have any effect on laws about rape.

Basically, read out your FAQ you did recently at the beginning of the press conference. Then explain you don't want to answer the same questions, but some might try to ask you anyway. Those people you can then either ignore or you can repeat your same answer.

This hopefully will limit the amount of scumbag questions they will or can ask you, and only lets them ask more inoffensive questions.

Good luck finding a new venue and with the press conference, Roosh. I don't know DC so hopefully someone else can help with that..

Hold it on the steps of Capitol Hill. We all pay for those fuckers to fuck us in that building so why not there?

^^ point the camera the other way so our mighty national erection is the backdrop

Shoot the recording yourself. Don't answer the questions they ask, answer the question you want them to have asked .If they try to corner you mock them and act offended and disappointed by them.

Good Luck!

I don't know D.C. that well to comment on specific locations but any hotel or conference center should have a small ballroom that has simple A/V.

If that does not work then Veteran Halls, Legions, any other Club should have a simple conference set-up.

One idea is if you have all your own video making gear at home you can pitch to a hotel that you do a Skype web conference instead. Just like how you did the interview with that feminist. The press can gather in the room and you Skype to them.

Try that with the hotel that fell through as a hail mary. You could essentially be in a hotel room and do it. This can at least give the Hotel a out that they are not "hosting" you in that sense.

100% agree. You cannot have any weakness or empathy with the left. Countless times and thousands of examples have shown that whenever the right attempt any form of 'mutual' ground their words are twisted and they are attacked.

The only way to counter the left [I.E: The people who have blatantly lied] is to have one directive. Offence. Point blank address each and every lie in a factual manner. No apologies. You leave no room for interpretation.

I'm wondering which Media Companies will be invited to this? As most people on this forum know, most mainstream media will be twisting every quote that they can as usual into something out of context. Hopefully Roosh can get some Journalists from a source like RT.com or even Breitbart in addition to having someone trusted record the entire thing. The majority of real men in this world will agree with you Roosh. Stay confidant & we will win with the truth.

Adding onto this comment. I say coverage by RT would be great because they are proven to give favorable coverage of figures that most western world mainstream media has tried to destroy. Julian Assange & Edward Snowden in particular. Yes the company is funded by Putin so some people might not like it, but at the same time that is pretty much a guarantee that they won't be Pro-Establishment controlled.

My apologies. My words were ambiguous.

There's a way to express regret at what happened, while declaring that you did nothing wrong. That's what I'm going for.

Also, be very focused on questions that contain phrases like "poor word choice" or "your regrettable actions". When those questions happen, instantly declare, "There was no poor word choice." Then ask for examples.

Inevitably, you'll get a single paragraph, quoted out of context. Reply, "Any stupid journalist can remove a paragraph from any essay, to make it look bad. Smart, honorable journalists know they're not supposed to do that."

Find somewhere where you can speak from a balcony, like a banana republic dictator and open with "Citizens of Earth! Hear my words! I Hereby endorse Marco Rubio for president!"...Andy Kaufman style trolling and you will cement your image in the media as a satire artist.

Why do that?

Bill Burr, Andrew Dice Clay, Patrice ONeal, George Carlin all got away with what they were saying because they were 'joking'. Carlin especially.

I didn't read the entire thread, but I think the conference is a good move.

Yes, there will be all the usual dishonest journalism, but there is a niche of reporters who take pride in seeking out the truth and giving the real story, and they will be eager to be there to do so, as well as to make the mainstream media outlets look bad. So at least there will be some respected voices out there telling the real story too.

Most people don't even realize that odalisques, from the beginning of time, are actually phallic symbols. So in fact, you're right, the Washington Monument is the world's most giant cock statute. That's right, George Washington himself represented the beginning of US freedom, the king of the original US patriarchy... the very reason our nation exists (where these fuck-wad feminists call home) and his monument is a giant stone penis.

Funny, and disgustingly ironic considering the Catholic Church boy rape epidemic, that Catholic cemeteries are full of 'em. Get the dick pic !

Here are a few thoughts for Roosh.

First, be impeccably well dressed and groomed. This hardly needs to be said on the forum, but the importance of this cannot be overstated.

Second, get as much sleep as possible between now and tomorrow evening. You want to both be and look fresh and sharp.

The press conference should start with a brief opening statement (no more than 5-10 minutes). The statement should touch on the following points:

-- The last week has seen a veritable feeding frenzy in the media against Roosh and his readers and followers. Virtually every news story has contained nothing but slander, exaggeration and outright lies.

-- This incredible feeding frenzy has been occasioned by nothing more than the desire of civilized, like-minded men to get together for a social hour to meet each other, make new friends and talk.

-- The most insane slander concerned the absurd, lunatic idea that either Roosh himself or any of his followers are "proponents" of rape, or want it to be "legalized". Some news stories went so far as to say with a straight face that men were going to be meeting to discuss "rape strategies". This would have been funny in its sheer idiocy if it weren't so despicable.

-- Let it be clear once and for all: neither Roosh nor any of his followers support "rape" or call for it to be legalized; nor have they ever called for any such absurdities. The whole idea is based on a single piece published by Roosh about a year ago. This piece was completely obvious satire, meant to be obvious to a ten year old. Not a single one of Roosh's readers or followers has ever taken that piece to be anything but a joke; if they believed it was serious, they wouldn't be his friends or followers anymore. The reason no "disclaimers" were put on the article before the recent media feeding frenzy is that obvious satire does not require "disclaimers", in the same way that a comedian does not preface every joke or gag by saying "this is a joke". It is a sad commentary on the state of things as they are that a disclaimer became necessary.

-- Neither Roosh nor any of his followers are anything but normal, law-abiding citizens. Not one of us has been accused of breaking any laws, accused of "rape" etc. Instead, it's the online agitators who have inflamed this feeding frenzy that have issued explicit death threats and calls for violence against Roosh and against the planned meetups. This was the reason they had to be cancelled, because the safety of the participants could not be guaranteed. Journalists who are supposed to report the news effectively acted as agitators and went so far as to publish Roosh's home address where his family lives. This insanity must stop.

-- It is notable that this fake, trumped-up feeding frenzy against normal peaceful men is occurring at the same time as there is an actual rape epidemic in Europe, with truly alarming numbers of crimes including rapes being committed by migrants. For whatever reason, a lot of the media seems disinterested in reporting actual, physical rapes and more interested in engaging in a baseless witch hunt.

-- Finally, to all those hoping for an apology, there is none forthcoming. Neither Roosh nor any of the like-minded men he associates with have done anyone any harm, nor have they meant anyone any harm. We have nothing to apologize for and we will continue to meet with each other and discuss ideas of mutual interest as and when we like. We are proud to be free-thinking men in a free society,

Open to questions. All answers should be calm, polite, firm, and relentlessly on message. No apologies, but also no jokes or anything that can be twisted or misinterpreted in any way.

Look sharp.

Be brief.

Control the frame.

No apologies.

Have a large analogue clock showing behind you so when they edit the fuck out of you it will show
Start your reply with 'The first casualty of any war is the truth'
Since when does satire become truth?
Turn on the media, fuck them

Appeaser. We don't care for 'quick pointers' on appeasement here.

The correct action is exactly the same as Donald Trump and Ben Shapiro. Immediately go on the offensive and call them out. Cowering would cause a complete loss of face and destroy the reputation Roosh has built. Apologize for nothing and express regret for nothing.

Say specifically what the satire was about -- specifically naming famous false rape cases and convictions. Call them out on keeping muslim migrant rape in Europe hush hush whilst globally attacking a non-rapist for a single provocative article -- a politically motivated attack. Call them out on treating western men as the serf class, the scapegoats, whilst everyone else is beyond criticism.

Calling out specific reporters lying their asses off would probably be a good move too. Trump does this masterfully. When you name and shame your attackers they either have to rebutt or they stay silent in any case both actions invite public scrutiny concerning their reputation as a "journalist."

A presser at 7pm will miss all of the higher watched 6 pm broadcasts, as well as the national nightly shows. It can make the local 11, but with the exception of NBC leading up to SNL, those ratings are low. It will also be running late for many Sunday newspapers, with the exception of those on the West Coast.

As Lizard Of Oz, a prepared statement to that end. And as others have said, go on the attack. You can either say sorry like someone who has done something wrong; they will sense weakness and assume guilt. You do not have to state that you are the victim in a pathetic way, you simply list everything that has been done to you by the mob and the media, many of which are outright illegal, and question their hypocrisy. Call out every single journalist who has lied. Trump it "LIED/LIAR". Read verbatim some of the threats against you and the names of the perpetrators. Then proceed to destroy their narrative before them all.

I know he gets away with a lot because he is gay, but Milo routinely goes on the attack and triumphs in the face of militant feminists and mainstream media frothing at the mouth. Putin responds to BBC journalists with statements like "Are you an idiot?" followed by firm, logical destruction of their narrative and hypocrisy. I know it is easier for me and all of us to say, but this is a great opportunity for you. You have proven time and time again through your travels and achievements that you are stronger, that you are more intelligent than they are. It is within your capability to destroy them with an aggressive attacking stance in a firm, logical, collected manner.

And yeah, get someone on your side to film the entirety.

We really do have too little to worry about here. Just hanging out in the back blocks of the planet, surfing, drinking and digging shit up to sell to china to pay for it.
