Rage Yoga Involves Screaming, Swearing, and Obscene Gestures. Also Yoga.


(Photo: Rage Yoga)

You will exercise your middle fingers a lot while participating in Rage Yoga. Seriously, that's a major part of the movements.

Lindsay Istace developed the practice and teaches it at her studio in Calgary, Alberta. In the dimly lit pub basement that serves as her studio, she blasts loud heavy metal music. It helps set the mood for her students. She says that the music and the movements help her students vent their anger. CBC News reports:

Istace says she developed Rage Yoga while dealing with a painful breakup. According to her website, combining swearing and screaming with her yoga practice helped her overcome addiction and anger issues.

"When you create a space for yourself to be angry and to shout and swear and scream, suddenly it's hard to take yourself so seriously.

"So it goes from anger to laughter pretty quickly. And we have a lot of that going on here."

Basically if you think Daniel Ellsberg should have been tried for treason for blowing the whistle on The Pentagon Papers and the Vietnam War or you want Julian Assange in jail you are consistent in hating Joe. But, if you think those guys were right - well eventually you will have to add Joe to the list. For what CIA did to Joe, and confess to on their website, I think that group should be ended.

"Kazan who had directed such masterpieces as "On the Waterfront", "East of Eden" and "A Streetcar Named Desire" and who had won two Oscars as a director was ignored in favour of the left-wing Norman Corman who won lasting fame for "Attack of the Crab Monsters", "Swamp Women" and other masterpieces of schlock. So heavy was the stench of hypocrisy that even The New York Times felt impelled to comment on Hollywood's vindictiveness.

The famed then 87-year-old Kazan's unforgivable crime was to have truthfully told the House Committee on UnAmerican Activities in 1952 that he and eight of his friends had been fellow members of the communist party, from which he had resigned in disgust. Some of these men later admitted that Kazan told the truth. Nevertheless, until his death in 2003 at the age of 94 Kazan remained a political leper among Hollywood's politically correct.

These are same people who in October 1997 streamed into the Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences in Berverly Hills to see Hollywood Remembers the Blacklist, a film glorifying unrepentant Stalinists who wanted to turn the US into another Gulag. Needless to say, these are also same celluloid intellectuals who support cop-killers and murderous dictators – but only so long as they are socialists." -- "Hollywood leftists, their blacklist and their treason", Gerard Jackson

"I had the great fortune to have a professor in college who was targeted by McCarthy and who actually was called to testify before the HUAC ..." -- Yakim Andrew

Amazing. The leftists who have wrested control of our colleges and universities are, next to Hollywood, the greatest blacklisters of all time. They have ideologically cleansed the faculties of these institutions of conservatives while ironically making a fetish of "diversity". How utterly hypocritical for any left-wing academic to complain about "McCarthyism" and "targeting".

"Earlier this month Congressman Allen West told a town hall meeting ‘I believe there’s about 78 to 81 members of the Democrat Party who are members of the Communist Party. It’s called the Congressional Progressive Caucus.’ And he isn’t backing down from his statements either." -- Nick Gisburne

Gee, I wonder what would give hime that idea.

Dem. Socialists of America claim 70 Democrat congressmen as members?:

McCarthy and Bobby Kennedy were right, the communists had infiltrated our cultural institutions and had gained access to the highest levels of our government.

How sad that the apologists for the "red fascists", as George Orwell called them, continue to push the ahistorical garbage contained in this post.

Yakim- Joe McCarthy never chaired any HUAC hearings. Your professor was a liar. Show him this and tell him to sue me but he better prove McCarthy chaired a HUAC investigation. Nor did he have anything to do with the Hollywood 10. Miss Cellania, and by the way I love your posts, usually, just google names given and wikipedia and you can find the sources. But the best one remains the CIA. It has a full confession on it's STUDIES IN INTELLIGENCE website. It admits it did nothing to stop spies, it admits it gave McCarthy a fake name to discredit him (that worked. Everyone from William F. Buckley to Ayn Rand denounced him.The name is still classified- but easy to find. Google American General denounced by McCarthy). Google THE POND CIA and you'll find the full confession. The books AMERICA'S MOST HATED SENATOR and THE SWORD AND THE SHIELD (The KGB files)are great also. But the CIA confession is best. The CIA announced this chapter was on their site last Summer. Guess how many newspapers and news shows have covered this? NONE. Cowards and liars. So why does CIA on their website not call it the McCarthy era? The red scare era? What do they call it? THE CIA VS JOE McCARTHY. Are you starting to get it yet? The CIA broke its own charter DAY ONE. It has manipulated us the same way it does third world nations.It smeared and libeled a whistleblower. The story isn't even about Joe, but the POND. The greatest and most secret Intel agency we ever had. Privately run and very effective at finding spies. Raoul Wallenberg- who saved thousands of Jews from death camps was a member. The State Department had him killed. They admit it as well. The truth really is out there. Not speculation. Not guesses. Not conspiracy theories.The truth. AND THEY ADMIT IT. If you hate Julian Assange, if you think Daniel Ellsberg releasing the Pentagon Papers was treason- well, I can't fault you. You are consistent in your logic. HOWEVER. If you support those two in their actions you must support McCarthy. Or you are illogical. So, other than ignoring spies for years, why did CIA destroy McCarthy? It begins with 81 nazis. International law made it illegal to protect nazis. Smuggled into America from Mexico to work with Werner Von Braun as Mexican laborers, CIA was deathly afraid Joe would find out and expose them. Which would have ended CIA. So they destroyed him. They destroyed The Pond. Now we know the truth. Let's stop spreading the lies. I have spoken at The Navy War College, I have a medal from the Defense Intelligence Agency for my writing on the Cold War. We need to stop the CIA smear- now. Peace out. And thank you Neatorama for not censoring my earlier post. You are one of the only websites that hasn't.

It is the biggest lie of all the lies told about Joe McCarthy. Did he while in Wheeling say there were 205 spies in the State Department? It has been ridiculed in films such as THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE. It is taught as fact in colleges everywhere. In January of 1952, the Gillette Committee called in Frank Desmond the journalist who reported the 205 figure and swore him in under oath. There was already a problem- not one other reporter had reported that or any other figure. Wouldn't that have made headlines if he had said it? Desmond faced jail if he perjured himself. He stated that Joe never stated a number. How many newspapers reported this? None.

It's funny that "conservatives" are still defending the U.S. from communist infiltrators (here in the comments section) 60 years after the fact.

Here's a protip: McCarthy was a piece of garbage who was willing to make innocent people suffer to further his own political career.

Yakim, I'm curious what profession your professor failed to achieve because of McCarthy? I read very few stories of those who lives were ruined. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places.

Still, the Venona papers which were released in the early 90s, while not justifying all tactics used to track down Soviet spies, do prove that there were Communist spies deep inside the US government.

I had the great fortune to have a professor in college who was targeted by McCarthy and who actually was called to testify before the HUAC. She was one of the few who refused to "name names" and her promising career was destroyed as a result. To honestly beleive that McCarthy and his willing partners in this movement (including a young Richard Nixon, by the way) were anything but evil, power-hungry, bullying, thugs is to ignore the reality of what actually went on. Even worse, in my opinion, was the shameful complicity of many government agencies (see the F.B.I. above) and the press in general. The story of McCarthyism is a true cautionary tale of how, even in a modern democracy, tactics like "the big lie" and straw man witch hunts can still be used to pervert justice if not enough people have the guts to stand up and question what is wrong. He was an evil man who destroyed the lives of countless innocent people in a selfish quest for power and notoriety. To compare McCarthy, who relied almost entirely on lies and false innuendo, to Assange or Ellesburg who, right or wrong, tried to make the truth more available, is an extreme case of apples and oranges and is just silly....

Documents from the former Soviet Union show that McCarthy was, indeed, correct that Soviets had infiltrated the US government, and that Alger Hiss actually a traitor. https://www.cia.gov/library/center-for-the-study-of-intelligence/csi-publications/csi-studies/studies/vol50no2/html_files/BK_Soviet_Espionage_8.htm

Nick - Mr West said "I heard", not "I believe". And such is life today that we've all "heard" a widely and wildly varying amount of drivel, so that much is likely true.

This is an amazing collection of all the slanders and lies aimed at whistleblower Joe McCarthy. If you believe Julian Assange, Daniel Ellsberg and Bradley Manning did the right thing one must support McCarthy. If you think those 3 were dangers then you can include Joe as well. The key here is all the info is pre- fall of the Soviet Union. The tip off is there is no mention of The Pond, the secret agency that gave Joe the list of names. Nor is there any mention that the names came from a rogue head of the KGB. Nor that the names mentioned pop up in KGB files after the fall- all but one that is. So many lies and CIA spin here where do you start? Only one reporter stated a number at the Wheeling speech he said Joe said. Under oath, in a libel suit, that reporter confessed Joe gave no number. As did a Senator who claimed to have a recording of it.http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150414012065986&l=9f46ad3e15 Who started the rumors about Joe looking for a gimmick, etc? A Soviet spy- http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150244708835986&l=dcb7b2e394 What about the newspaper reporter who destroyed Joe? A CIA agent. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150474761060986&l=9345150677 For years FDR did nothing to remove spies in our government, which were in numbers far beyond 200. This was not an issue until Stalin cancelled elections in Central Europe, China went communist and the Korean War began. 81 Nazi's had been smuggled through Mexico as Mexican laborers to work with Werner Von Braun on our missile program. This was against international law. The CIA was afraid Joe would discover this. Absolutely nothing written about McCarthy before the fall of the Soviet Union can be trusted. Nothing. He was naive only in that he did not realize the overwhelming forces aligned against him. There is no Soviet Union to protect anymore. Stop spreading nonsense. Every one knows nazis worked on our space program. It is past time to stop the nonsense. Google CIA THE POND. You will discover the CIA confessed to giving Joe one fake name to discredit him. A full confession that nothing was done to remove spies. The above is not theory. It is not guessing intentions. It is all from declassified documents- and the CIA's full confession. They have meddling in domestic issues since day one, which is against their own charter. The group should be ended. And their smears need to stop being repeated.

What goes around comes around. Earlier this month Congressman Allen West told a town hall meeting 'I believe there's about 78 to 81 members of the Democrat Party who are members of the Communist Party. It's called the Congressional Progressive Caucus.' And he isn't backing down from his statements either.
