My work, both the written material and my more widely-known video productions, has gotten widespread television, print and internet coverage throughout the current political election cycle.
The coverage has been unexpected, humbling, and but for one exception, unsought.
Some have attempted to besmirch myself or my work. The Times characterized some of the content of my videos as 'widely debunked.' I have been portrayed in any number of suspect and unflattering ways.
And to that stilted coverage I say: So what. Hasn't anything changed on my end and I'm going to keep doing what I do, which is giving my audience what they want: Serious, hard-hitting, passionate information.
*
The video discusses the media spots for my work and then seques into some discussion of PUMAs and takes a look at some pictures of Barack Obama. Some of the pictures are Photoshopped, some are not. It's not hard to tell the difference.
Finally, we have some words about Obama and some thoughts directed to my fellow Americans.

Paul "Rokski" Villarreal & John D. Villarreal, Esq. discuss the impact of The Mitchell Report on Major League Baseball and in all of professional athletics.
Paul and John got there start in sports media over a decade ago. In addition, John is a world-class powerlifter, and has trained and trained with dozens of other world-class athletes, including a number of MLB and NFL players.
More videos in this series will follow, as the footage gets edited.
Paul & John run the sports website (currently a forum, with more types of content to come soon) VillarrealSports.com. The site is making it's debut, and we want to hear from YOU what YOU think about The Mitchell Report, as well as the rest of your favorite sports. There are also forums for general discussion, hot rides, etc. Check it out, and let YOUR voice be heard on the hottest new sports website on the internet:
http://www.villarrealsports.com
John has been competing in powerlifting for over 20 years. During that time, he has won multiple State & National Championships and placed 3rd at World's.
But here's the kicker -- he did it all DRUG FREE!
That's right -- elite athletics, all natural. As we discuss in this video series, with increasing scrutiny being placed on those athletes who take illegal performance enhancing drugs, the question then becomes: "How can I get to and maintain elite athletic conditioning and not risk going outside the law or hurting my body?"
We've got an answer for you. John decided to put his unparalleled level of training and nutritional knowledge to good use and has just begun his own line of top-flight nutritional supplements.

No, I don't normally look like this. This is after rolling out of bed after growing a beard for two weeks. My apartment, however, often does look like this.
If you want to see what I usually look like, see the MySpace link below.
My take on the upcoming UFC grudge match between Chuck 'Iceman' Liddell and Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson. Repeat or revenge?
To learn more about me (or just to see me shaven, cleaned-up and without bed-head -- LOL!), please see my myspace page:

Yes, it is a cult.
And David and his fellow Axelrodians worked their butts off to make it a cult, too. So take a bow, Dave.
Yeah, on second thought, don't take that bow.
Devoted fans fainting in their Leader's presence. Mind-numb drones who refuse to believe anything 'negative' about the Leader. Slavish devotion to the sect.
Only the best from director Paul F. Villarreal and VillarrealSports . com. If you want to read and see more about this disingenuous, unpatriotic chump running for President out of the state of Illinois, come and see us here:
http://www . villarrealsports . com
We've got all the angles and all the stories that the mainstream press won't run about their Dear Leader. If we don't have the story, we know who does.
We have less than 6 months to work to protect our Democracy from the Wright-weaned, elitist pol. It will take all our efforts and American Know-How to prevent the man who wants to meet with Iran and who is backed by Hamas from becoming our next President. There is much work to be done.
Note: This video was shot on 3.19.08, before I was banned, wrongly, from MyDD.com.
Who should Democrats have nominated as their presidential hopeful? We examine 3 areas on which to make a decision about the two candidates: Judgment, health care and experience.
If you want the best independent look at the news, politics and sports that affect you and your world, come join myself and my brother over at VillarrealSports.com. We'll give you the angles Daily Kos, Talking Points Memo, MyDD and the rest can't and won't give you, from both a liberal and conservative perspective:

Come hit us up and let us know what YOU think about this political season. Who should win, and why? Who are you rooting against? Let us know and make your voice heard!
Update: Someone has already shot me an email with the question, so let me confirm it:
Yes, my nose has been broken about 1,000,000 times. One of these days I will have it set straighter, but until then I'm just going "Owen Wilson" with it.
**************************************** ****
**************************************** ****
There is a lot of confusion about which one of us is which, so we decided to make a video to try to help resolve this issue for our viewers and readers.
One thing which I forgot to include in the video is that John is a 3-time National Champion in the sport of powerlifting and I am not. That is another point of differentiation between us.
We hope that this helps to clear up any misunderstanding among our great supporters and, yes, for the haters as well.

We know -- you're tired of her, too.
Don't worry, you are in very good company. Pretty much everyone is sick of her and we felt it was time to comment on that reality.
Imagine the shame she would bring to the station of First Lady.
We'll keep an eye on her -- and all her foolishness -- so you don't have to.

The Obama Doctrine -- unconditionally meeting with renegade, rogue world leaders -- presents any number of dangers to America.
In this video we take a look at one of the most damning corollaries The Obama Doctrine could have as regards Iran and The Land of the Free.
For more about the threat which Obama and his fascist, hopium-filled, cultish supporters pose to our Republic (and the world), please see:

First off, the music I used for this piece is a remix of Clint Mansell's "Lux Aeterna." Mansell originally used this music in his score of the movie "Requiem for a Dream." Since that time, the song has enjoyed ever-increasing popularity. This version was redone for the Lord of the Rings film "The Two Towers," I believe. This version of the song is known as "Requiem for a Tower."
How much do we know about Barack Hussein Obama? Not nearly enough.
How many of you are familiar with Kenyan strongman Raila Odinga, cousin of Barack Obama? Do you know that Obama campaigned for his cousin, and that Obama was powerless to stop the riots which began immediately after it was announced that Odinga had lost his election in December of 2007?
You've heard about the Bill Ayers fundraiser for Obama. But do you know about The Woods Fund? How about the Chicago Annenberg Challenge Fund which Ayers founded and Obama chaired?
There is far more to Obama than you know. Go look up the story of Larry Sinclair. Or if you really want to dig deep, look into the death of Donald Young.
I and my brother have been doing in-depth research into Obama's varied and checkered past. The mainstream media won't tell you these things, they are too busy kissing the boots of Candidate Obama.
When you're ready to take the red pill of reality from "The Matrix," come here:
http://www.villarrealsports.com
If we haven't written the story yet (the site is still in development), we can tell you who has and where to find them.
There is a lot of mythology and flat-out lies concerning the supposed greatness of Barack Hussein Obama.
When you're ready for the truth, come and visit my brother and myself at our site.

This video was made to help support my friend, aspiring model Gemma Roddy (she is in my "Top Friends" on my MySpace profile, 4th line, 1st pic - please go check out her hot pics and vote her 10/10 for her contests [see her blog for details]). This is the first in a series of 6 videos which will pay tribute to the San Antonio Spurs' NBA dynasty and feature Gemma. The San Antonio Spurs are the most successful American professional sports team of the past 10 years. They have now eclipsed the Los Angeles Lakers as the dominant NBA franchise since the retirement of Michael Jordan. This first video talks about the Spurs as a dynasty and shows highlights of the famed Celtics Dynasties of years past. The video concludes with a quick check of some of the celebrities on hand to watch the Spurs @ Cavs, Game 4 of the 2007 NBA Finals. And, of course, credits to thank those responsible for the video and audio I have compiled. Enjoy! (Note: The video is a bit too dark, but I will attempt to fix this quality in subsequent videos of this series)
