This is a response to the
Daily Beast hit piece
entitled "MAGA’s New Shock Jock Is a Bounty Hunter With a Troubled Past."
Some of the most amazing people have dark and troubled pasts. Anyhoo, I'm going to lead off here with an excerpt from a
source I nearly fully agree with, originating from a site that features very extreme content that I totally disagree with. I don't shoot the messenger metaphorically dead (I only wound them if needed) and that is the overarching point here, to not lose sight of the bigger picture and to address issues head on,
on their own merits...
"Stew is a podcast host, rapper, and bounty hunter who regularly appears as a guest host on Infowars...
Digging up or making up supposedly embarrassing aspects of your personal life (this is the media’s only strategy – they’re sure as hell not going to respond to what you’re saying), then you’re doing something right.
Frankly, Stew puts out some really crazy material, much of which I shared in my article. In particular, he talks about things such as non-metallic life discs being inside of the vaccines, and then turning into creatures with tentacles. As a rule, I try to warn people to keep a reasonable head on their shoulders when looking at “conspiracy theory” material, and these videos he shows of tiny creatures swimming around in the vaccines just look fake.
However – that having been said – I actually like Stew’s show, and watch it myself pretty regularly. Basically, he seems like a good guy and a good entertainer who sometimes just goes too far. He’s kind of like a parallel universe version of Alex Jones.
There was a weekend event with Nick Fuentes in New York City protesting the vax agenda, and Fox News came out and used the ADL as a source, calling Nick a white supremacist. On Monday, Stew covered the protest, and attacked Fox News.
I’ll go all in on that.
This is the fact: it doesn’t matter if Stew goes way too far with the guests he has on promoting weird things. What matters is that he is against the vax. That is the only thing that matters anymore. We no longer have the luxury of caring about anything else. Anyone who tells you anything else matters is just trying to sabotage you.
There are only two kinds of people left on earth:
The Purebloods
The Tainted Ones
This is the dividing line."
End of excerpt.
The Daily Beast hit piece essentially tries to demonize Stew as a wife beater and failed bounty hunter and rapper in an attempt to delegitimize his counter narrative on COVID. I will address all of that in just a sec, but first a few points concerning both sources.

Now of course, Infowars, who Stew works for, doesn't fare any better or worse in many people's eyes, but close examination reveals this to be due to an unprecedented and coordinated lamestream media defamation campaign that previously addressed some time ago...
Alex Jones in the News Again for Sandy Hook Lawsuits - What Exactly Did He Say FOR REAL NO SPIN and Why is Free Speech Never Brought Up? - Jones Has Been Targeted for What He Gets Right Not Something He May Have Got Wrong
This is a concept that has just very recently gotten deserved traction in the corporate media via Tucker Carlson
Carlson’s statement in full:
Now the [Jan. 6th] committee has decided to shut down one of the most popular journalists on the right, Alex Jones. Yes, journalist. Jones is often mocked for his flamboyancy, but the truth is he’s been a far better guide to reality in recent years, in other words a far better journalist than say, CNBC national security correspondent Ken Dilanian, or Margaret Brennan of CBS.
Alex Jones never bought the Russia hoax, not for a second. And if Jones sat down with [Dr.] Tony Fauci, he would ask him real questions just as journalists are supposed to do. He wouldn’t just slobber all over him.
But Alex Jones makes fun of Joe Biden, so the Jan. 6th committee is threatening him with prison.
Now the irony here, and there are many layers of irony here, but the main one is that Alex Jones isn’t simply innocent of inciting crime on Jan. 6th, Alex Jones actually worked to prevent crimes from taking place on Jan. 6th.
We’re not running interference for Alex Jones, and we’re not guessing about it – we happen to know this for a fact – because we’ve looked into it in some detail for Patriot Purge, our three-part documentary series on Fox Nation.

Moving on, I disagree that the people examining and questioning the contents of the vax are crazy. This of course doesn't mean they are right, but failing to examine issues for fears of cancel culture retribution is a disservice to humanity when possibly huge stakes are on the line.

As far as COVID and the jabs go, well, that is really the issue at hand here that Will Sommer is seeking to deflect from. The reasons why I side with opponents, besides ad hominem fallacies and omission of direct and empirical debate, are elucidated in extreme detail at the following link at heal related blog...
A COVID Hoax Makes More Sense When All Relevant Evidence is Exposed In One Place... RIGHT HERE!!!
It's funny that the hit piece paints Stew, AKA the rapper and bounty hunter Fokiss, as "failing up," while at the same time noting that...
The Minneapolis Star-Tribune dubbed him “Minnesota’s best-known bounty hunter.”
Not quite a failure even if he messed up this career by trying to give criminals he the impression he was a cop. I also find it funny that a rap video of his is called "I Never Made It." So it isn't exactly breaking news that he isn't a super successful rapper, but with well almost 200,000 hits, he has more views on at least that one video than many rappers considered successful have on many of their videos, such as Bryson Gray or Riff Raff for example...
Fokiss - I Never Made It [Official Video]
Just under 18,000 views...
Bryson Gray - NO DISS TRACK (AUDIO)
Just over 12,000 views...

A different rapper with a slightly different name has just under 14,000 views on one of his videos...

It's noteworthy that he says his rap persona is not aligned with his current Christian identity.
Now, as far as the domestic issues brought up concerning Will Somer, there is no excuse, full stop. It does not say he hit her, but that he threw objects, but ambiguously says he was charged assault and domestic assault. The police reports noted were not provided that I saw. I suspect he would agree in one way or another with his actions being wrong, although there may be extenuating circumstances (surely his drinking) and there are two sides to every story. I too believe he is basically a good guy and his choice of topics to "Fokiss" on is a big part of that. Sommer failed to demonize him and deflect from the bigger issues for me at least. Sommer did further humanize him I suppose. Sommer, who I can only imagine is a saint, must surely have no skeletons in his closet, for if he did, his positions would be by default null and void, if I used his apparent logic.
"Family and domestic violence is a common problem in the United States, affecting an estimated 10 million people every year; as many as one in four women and one in nine men are victims of domestic violence."
I myself was one of those nine men as proven in a court of law, but I digress...
Luckily, most people who commit such violence do not fit the mold of the stereotypical wife beater who regularly beats the living crap out of their partner and I do not think Stew Peters is this at all, although I'm fairly certain that was the intent of Sommer's hit piece as it pertains to this topic.
"In recent years researchers have approached populations without preconceptions as to the direction of violence. Large epidemiological studies have demonstrated that domestic violence is most commonly reciprocal and that when only one partner is violent there is an excess of violent women. Whitaker et al, Reference Whitaker, Haileyesus, Swahn and Saltzman2 in a study of 14 000 young US couples aged 18-28 years, found that 24% of relationships had some violence and half of those were reciprocally violent. In 70% of the non-reciprocally violent relationships women were the perpetrators of violence. Reciprocal violence appears to be particularly dangerous, leading to the highest rate of injury (31.4%). This may be because reciprocal violence is more likely to escalate.
The International Dating Violence Study Reference Strauss3 found that among students at 31 universities worldwide male and female students had similar rates of physically assaulting a partner (25% of men and 28% of women at the median university). There was parity for perpetrating severe assaults (used a knife or gun, punched or hit partner with something that could hurt, choked partner, slammed partner against a wall, beat up partner, burned or scalded partner on purpose, kicked partner) − 9% of male and female students at the median university. For severe injury (passed out, required medical attention or broke a bone) the perpetration rate was higher for males (median rate 3.1% by men and 1.2% by women)."https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/the-psychiatrist/article/domestic-violence-is-most-commonly-reciprocal/C5432B0C6F8F61B49A4E2B60B931FA07Due to that fact that men are bigger and stronger than women on average, these numbers show that men aggressors are at least showing much restraint overall. Again, I do not think Stew is in this category.
The above pictured type of domestic violence, especially, and all other forms except self defense are not OK. They are inexcusable, but humans are nuanced and flawed and we will solve the problem, less, by simply reinforcing that men should not hit women, without also acknowledging the nuance and taking an honest look at all the surrounding issues...
‘Most men are provoked into domestic violence’ - “But as one of the speakers said, Dr Muscat’s words were a reality check. Clearly much more work needs to be done to eradicate domestic violence.” When contacted, Dr Muscat, who also chairs the Saint James Hospital Group, elaborated on his perspective. “I condemn domestic violence and it cannot be excused,” he began, “but one has to see why it happens. “Being insulted or mocked... a man might lose his temper and sock it to her. But one has to see how long she had been needling him,” Dr Muscat said. “Alcohol aside – because that’s another issue, where the man is to blame – no man just enters his home and beats his wife for the fun of it. Just as female violence is a reaction to something, male violence is too,” he continued. Victims of sexual violence also had to look long and hard in the mirror, Dr Muscat said. “Lots of women first provoke and then run off pretending to cry.” Research has indicated that approximately one in every four Maltese women ends up being the victim of domestic violence at some point in her life. Cases of male-victim domestic violence are far less common, although Dr Muscat argued that male pride and a sense of shame often held them back from reporting violence when they were the victims. “Women do well to speak up about the issue, but I don’t think we’re seeing the real picture. Medical literature identifies 48 forms of domestic violence, from sexual to verbal or emotional. Men are victims of domestic violence too.” The lack of male participants at debates concerning domestic violence did not help, he added. “It would be much fairer if such debates involved an equal number of men and women, to hear both sides.”
