 My fellow Manisferians, I'm Anthony Dream Johnson, founder and CEO of the 21 Convention, co-founder and CEO of the Redman Group, Chairman of 21 Studios. Today, I'm speaking to you because of the growing crisis of honor, integrity and masculinity itself plaguing and holding back our community from true greatness. I'm directly referring to the recent controversy surrounding the actions of an author and self-proclaimed godfather of our community. The purpose of my words today are to review, bring clarity to and summarize the real-life actions and choices of former speaker, business partner and friend known to you as Rollo Tomasi. I make this video with a heavy heart, the reputation of my life's work on the chopping block and with great hope and optimism for the future of this worldwide community of men and fathers. To begin, on June 2nd, 2019, Rollo Tomasi was confronted in a private 21 Convention speaker chat by several alumni speakers, including but not limited to George Bruno, Socrates, Alexander Cortez, Ivan Throne and to the witness of many more. This confrontation focused on several related issues, including an incident from the 21 Convention in 2018 involving Rollo Tomasi and feminist New York Times reporter Nellie Bowles. The associated longstanding conspiracy to conceal the true nature of these events and related unethical conduct by Rollo Tomasi in his association with the 21 Convention, a self-declared, silent partner. In response to the mounting evidence of this unethical conduct and close counsel with top alumni speakers and consistent with our longstanding policy and terms, I chose to immediately remove Rollo Tomasi as a speaker from all future 21 Convention events as well as his regular involvement in the Red Mag Group show. Rollo worked to immediately write and publish a blog post that same day titled 21 Convention Dates Cancellation. In this post, he announced his removal from all 21 Convention events, encouraged attendees to seek refunds on their tickets in contrast to our longstanding All Sales Final policy and stated then as a minority owner of the Red Mag Group company that the podcast itself would be dissolved and the channel disbanded. Statements that significantly damaged the Red Mag Group brand left thousands of fans in confusion and that Rollo had zero confirmation of or authority to make of any kind. On June 8th, 2019, my company released a 15-page public statement providing facts, evidence and detail on Rollo Tomasi's sudden removal from the 21 Convention and Red Mag Group brands. You can review this document in a link beneath this video at any time. Later revealed to the public by YouTuber and Red Mag Group panelist, DDJ, is that these actions by Rollo Tomasi were not isolated or accidental, but part of a larger pattern of behavior involving a failed coup on the Red Mag Group and as revealed today were part of the greatest conspiracy our community has ever seen. And Rollo's own documented language to burn down the whole of the Mansphere, assassinate the legacy, credibility and future of all 21 Convention events, to conspire with other speakers to aggressively take over the Red Mag Group and most importantly use its function as a parallel speaker organization to build a new Mansphere Summit over the dead body of the 21 Convention. The longest running, largest and most powerful event the Mansphere has ever seen, 17 events across five countries over the past 13 years, hundreds of speakers, thousands of videos enjoyed by millions around the world. This disgusting effeminate conduct by Rollo and his allies amounts to more than the attempted murder of my life's work that began at all at 17 years old, but was an attempted coup in our entire community, in a word treason. Let's pause and reflect now on a foundational principle that Rollo Tommasi is fond of repeating in his work for the Rational Mail series. Behavior is the only measure of, is the only true measure of motivation and intent. One more time right from Rollo's blog, behavior is the only true measure of motivation and intent. I happen to agree, Rollo, so let's have a look at your behavior and see what comes up. This is Rollo Tommasi speaking at the 15th edition of the 21 Convention in October of 2018, giving his main presentation to over 200 men gathered from around the world to hear him and dozens of other speakers present their ideas on our platform. How many people here right now are here, and if your work found out about it, that you would be in trouble? Anybody? How many people here would, yeah, would you lose your, do you think you would lose your job? I think you probably would, I'd say I already know that Goldman lost his job. Just two days later, Rollo would disobey a direct order from myself as CEO and the will of over 10 speakers who I counseled with on the issue of Nellie Bowles, a potentially hostile mainstream media reporter who could put the privacy, identity and futures of our attendees at major risk. Something we had promised in good faith to safeguard them from to the best of our ability consistent with all 21 Convention events. Seen here, Rollo Tommasi directly invited the New York Times reporter with a history of writing hit pieces on speakers like Dr. Jordan Peterson to a private social gathering for our attendees and speakers. He had been speaking with his woman for months in writing, and yet remained sitting during the entire encounter like the silent coward he is. Rollo would go on to deny any involvement in her appearance that night, both in writing and orally to the speakers at numerous times, as well as myself. With every opportunity to take masculine responsibility, own his mistakes, apologize and seek redemption, he chose to instead cover it up in a web of lies misdirection for over 8 months. He lied to my face, he lied in writing, and he lied by omission. He lied to my friends, my speakers, my brothers, my top customers, and more recently over 40,000 of his own fans. Here are the faces of just some of the men he lied to. George Bruno, Ed Latimore, Donovan Sharp, Richard Cooper, Alan Roger Curry, Tanner Guzzi, Jack Donovan, Ivan Throne, Texas Dom, Jack Murphy, Hunter Drew, Socrates, Alexander J.A. Cortez, Goldman Unleashed, Elliot Hulse, Dr. Shanti Smith, and more. Many of these many claim to be his own friends. Of even greater importance, they are thinkers and creators, many thousands of you watching claim to care about, respect, and admire. Masculine leaders who have helped millions of men improve their lives as men, even help save them from suicide. Here are over 200 men and fathers he pretended to want to help, while secretly lying to them and stabbing them in the back. Men just like you, who trusted him to be a speaker, to be a leader, and above all to be a man. In January of 2019, Richard Cooper and Roland Tomasi, alumni speakers and co-founders of the Redman Group, will travel to Florida to visit me, sign paperwork for the Redman Group Company, film podcasts and video trailers for both the 21 convention and Redman Group, and engage in other business and recreational activity. I'm a charter fishing with myself and new speaker, Elliot Hulse, and training with professional firearms instructors. Everything was great, so it seemed. Within days of departing Florida, signed agreement for the Redman Group in hand, we launched tickets to the 21 convention 2019 special patriarch edition for fathers. Suddenly, to the shock and confusion of thousands of fans, and after speaking multiple times and endorsing our event repeatedly, Richard Cooper suddenly withdrew from speaking and publicly attacked the safety and reputation of the 21 convention event to over 170,000 of his own YouTube followers. He did so with exactly zero evidence presented of any kind. I soon responded to this nonsense from Richard Cooper that recklessly put the very question of physical safety at our live events in jeopardy. Smarter fans caught on immediately, realized the safety concerns were hollow and unfounded, that I was rightfully defending my event from defamatory statements that could cause real financial harm to the 21 convention, and that Richard Cooper's behavior was sudden, shady, and suspicious. Almost immediately on February 6, 2019, Rola Tomasi sent myself and Richard Cooper an email titled The Future of the Redman Group stating, among other things, my first impulse is to disband RMG entirely, delete the channel. Further, Rola went on demanding complete control of the Redman Group, and all ownership interests transferred to him for free. And this were not to happen to dissolve the company entirely. Redman Group panelists and YouTuber DDJ has rightly characterized this as a failed hostile takeover and coup on the Redman Group, as almost any first year business student would. This is a business horror story right out of a magazine. Richard Cooper would eventually get cold feet and sell his ownership in the Redman Group to 21 Studios, giving me primary control of the company contrary to Rola's initial desire. We don't know exactly what went on between Rola Tomasi and Richard Cooper in Florida, but Richard, if there was ever a time to take ownership of your mistakes like a man, something you frequently preached to your audience, now is the time to come clean and seek redemption. A sudden attack on the safety of the 21 convention with zero evidence and self-remover from speaking at the then upcoming patriarch event was justified to be viewed by many fans as suspicious conduct concealing secondary hidden motives. To do this in the middle of a brand new ticket launch to a live event where you're a featured speaker in the viral video trailer for it and to make such statements to a large friendly audience was absolutely damaging to sales for this event. For this to be immediately followed by another founder's aggressive, sudden attempt to take over the company is alarming at best and conspiratorial at worst. Rola would go on to threaten to drop out of speaking of the 21 convention patriarch addition to the witness of confirmed speakers. In addition, he made multiple attempts at alarming other confirmed speakers in regard to their safety at the event. To clarify, we just lost a major speaker who then attacked the reputation and safety of the event to a large audience. Rola followed up by also threatening to drop out on nothing more than a subjective feeling and uninformed opinion of his own safety. When your event depends on confirmed speakers showing up and speaking, when you have ticket holders counting on the event to take place, when you have signed hotel contracts with large penalties for cancellation, this is called sabotage. The question you need to ask yourself now is, why would Rola do all this? Aggressive action to obtain control of the red man group, threats of deleting and dissolving the entire channel and company. If his extreme demands weren't met, all seemingly timed with a parallel attack on the 21 convention. It should be known before continuing that Rola Tomasi and Richard Cooper are the top ticket sellers of all time to the 21 convention. And that our 2018 revenue was nearly tripled out of 2017. But if the red man group is just a podcast show, while the demands, why risk damaging a relationship with myself and the 21 convention? A much larger platform over a small web show. The answer is on the number one iron rule of Tomasi. Always control the frame of resist giving the impression that you are. And in this endorsement statement from Rola during his speech at the 21 convention in 2018, this off the cuff statement combined with this frequently stated need for a red pill summit and the manasphere reveals Rola's true intentions. This statement contains a no true scosmological fallacy, sets up a cult like purity test for the manasphere and manasphere events. And most importantly points to chronological thinking. A first implies a second. The only other speaker organization in the manasphere is the red man group. The true purpose of controlling the red man group is never to own a small podcast show. It was to create the second real red pill summit, the red man summit. Despite his best efforts detailed under 15 page public statement, the 21 convention was never controlled by Rola and therefore never in his frame. Additional statements surrounding this issue can be found in the extended email, the future of the red man group, which will be released to the public and in the public interest along with the publication of this video. To review, during this attempt to take over, Rola Tamasi was engaged in an ongoing conspiracy to conceal deceptions surrounding Manelli Bull's incident from October, including lying by admission to new major speakers of the 21 convention such as Elliot Hulse. Dozens of speakers who associated their reputation and name with our event in good faith that other top speakers were bullshitting the organizer and trying to steal control of associated platforms that were and would continue to be a part of the 21 convention experience. In the summer of 2019, Rola would go on to resign from the red man group in disgrace, confess secret existing plans of abandoning the 21 convention event, news to myself and all on my speakers. Based on the totality of these facts, it is my view that this was a slow motion attempted assassination of the 21 convention and brand of events. If it burned down from a New York Times hit piece and our attendees thought themselves unsafe in attending for fear of losing their careers, so be it. If it needed to be defamed for unfounded zero evidence physical safety concerns, so be it. If the red man group needed to be aggressively taken over and weaponized into a new Red Pill Summit under Rola's complete control, so be it. If Rola needed to threaten to drop out of speaking and attempt to scare other speakers out of speaking on their own and attending, further destabilizing the event, so be it. If Rola needed to work with other speakers to initiate a wave of charge back to speech against the 21 convention and on their tickets to the tune of over $40,000 in damages, in the middle of an international 21 convention in Poland, so be it. The 21 convention is more than an event, however. It is a central organizing force for the most important part of the Manisphere, the real world offline Manisphere, the preeminent event on the planet, for our community, the heart and center and the longest running in its history now for over 13 years. An attack on the 21 convention of this magnitude is an attack on the Manisphere itself. To my knowledge, there has never been a civil conspiracy of this scale in our community, to put at risk an attempt to cause catastrophic harm to multiple Manisphere organizations and real life events. For many of you watching, this information is shocking as it is directly conflicting and conflicts with the public nice guy persona of Rollo Tomasi, the Mr. Rogers' Godfather hybrid personality he has crafted in the public space of the Manisphere for years. The man who tells you like a broken record that he's not in it for the money, but will privately state that he's a get rich, slow guy. To understand the Rollo Tomasi of the Manisphere, we must look at the original character that inspired Rollo's choice of this name. From the 1997 major motion picture, LA Confidential, one of Rollo's favorite movies of all time. It should be noted that many Manisphere icons have unusual names like this, Mystery, Style, Socrates, Goldman Unleashed, and myself, Dream, just to name a few. Chosen names are not given names, however. They are chosen for various reasons by the individual. Consistent among these reasons, however, is that the name appealed to their core values in some way. They like the name enough to not only choose it, but retain it over many years, and intentionally be known by this name to millions of readers, fans, and viewers. In our community, Rollo is unique among top creators in that he picked the name of the secret villain, a police captain played by actor James Cromwell, celebrated as a small-time hero by his local community, while secretly being a murderous, backstabbing traitor to his brothers at the LAPD, and therefore the community as a whole. Actor Guy Pierce in LA Confidential explains the origin of Rollo Tomasi. Is there more to that, or am I supposed to guess? Rollo was a purse snatcher. My father ran into him off duty, and he shot my father six times and got away clean. No one even knew who he was. I just made the name up to give him some personality. What's your point? Rollo Tomasi's the reason I became a cop. I wanted to catch the guys who thought they could get away with it. Edmund, might I have a word with you? We're trying to run down a lead on an associate of Vincennes. The record check has led to a dead end. What's the name? Rollo Tomasi? You ever heard Vincennes mention him? No. No, I haven't. Based on documented facts and evidence, sound like anyone you know? The truth is stranger than fiction in this case. The self-proclaimed Godfather of the Manisphere has been secretly conspiring to undermine major organizations in our community, has been engaging in rampant, unethical, effeminate conduct, and has been demonstratively been willing to burn down anyone and anything that gets in his way. Our speakers, multiple 21 convention events, the entire Red Men Group platform, and the trust of over 200 attendees he shook hands with. In his own language, burn down the whole of the Manisphere. For more control and more fame, New York Times hit piece style. For those of you wondering why I've been so publicly angry, this is why, as any adult, sane, rational man would be, absolutely furious with such treasonous conduct that endangered my life's work. I make no apology for stating that Rollo Tomasi is the biggest fraud, sellout, and traitor our community has ever seen. A shadow gamma king pretending to be your online friend, father figure, and mentor to thousands of men. Men and fathers just like you who live in the most anti-masculine age ever seen in American history. Men who need help, mentors, and authentic masculine leadership. Men and fathers who are under constant attack from mainstream media organizations, billion dollar brands like Gillette, and even including major professional organizations like the American Psychological Association. In the middle of the greatest feminist shitstorm ever seen, literally the worst timing imaginable, Rollo Tomasi betrays us all. Betrays the first ever emerging movement of men and fathers, organizing together for the interests of men, boys, and fathers everywhere. Shame on you, Rollo. You have brought dishonor to the entire Manisphere and done more damage than any feminists could ever dream or hope to achieve. And now it's time to take out your trashy excuse for a soul, because in the words of Hunter Drew, choices have consequences, Rollo. I have been a reluctant leader in our community for over 13 years, often tapping the leadership of older, wiser men to compensate for my youth. In some cases, this has been fantastic, as in the case of keynote speaker Socrates and Chief Patriarch Hunter Drew. In other cases, the results are mixed, as in the case of James Marshall. No bad blood, just a mutual bad fit long term. And in the case of Rollo, the result has been a nightmare, a fight for the survival and future of 21 convention events, my life's work, and the red man group itself. This reluctant sense now. I grew up in this community and proudly call it my tribe and my home. And after building more live events at the highest level of quality and scale our community has ever seen, I'm declaring myself president of the Manisphere effective immediately. And my first action as president is to permanently exile Rollo Tomasi from the Manisphere for the crime of treason. From this day forward, no media or news organization of any size should take anything Rollo Tomasi says as representative of our community. He is an outcast, a known trader, and our community's first Benedict Arnold. You are the godfather of nothing, Rollo, and shall forever be remembered as the fraud father of the Manisphere. However, contrary to the title of this video, Rollo Tomasi will not be the Hillary Clinton of the Manisphere. Unlike crooked Hillary, Rollo is not above the law. He and his co-conspirators will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. There will be fire and fury, consequences for unforgivable actions and choices. To those of you stuck in a grieving process for the fraud father, that's what's gonna help you get unstuck. Stuck in denial or rationalizations, remember that the essence of the red pill is truth and reality. The essence of the blue pill is anti-reality. Sweet lies used to control and manipulate you for benefit. In this sense, Rollo is much worse than a purple pill huckster. The Rollo pill is the ultimate blue pill of the Manisphere. A deeply irrational man, if he can be called that, writing works titled The Rational Male, who has decided and dedicated himself to stirring up drama and chaos behind the scenes, dumping it on others in public and hiding the truth from you for months. In addition to lying of dozens of respected leaders, two dozens of respected leaders in our space, the red pill is often said to be a cold, harsh, bitter truth. And in this case, that will hold true for many of you. Yet the truth shall set you free from this traitor's web of lies and deception. For this community to survive and thrive, it must be held accountable to masculine standards of conduct. For exiles like Rollo, myself, you, and everyone. Rollo, I am ashamed of you. I'm ashamed that you ever allowed on my stage and yet thankfully you did, as you have allowed me to show the world who you really are. I really hope that when you die some day of natural causes, that you burn in hell for all of eternity, you deserve worse. To everyone else, this has been Anthony Dream Johnson, your president of the Manusphere. Have a great day and I look forward to seeing you soon this October. Buzz mix and dick stencil. So, what does it actually make of all this? No, I haven't told him yet. I just came straight from the record table. Have you had that addiction, boy?
