Those who were around when Bruce Lee was alive will happily confirm he was as controversial a figure as Frank Dux. Notably, as both mens feats are considered legendary, which naturally culminates in one being hated, envied and revered by their peers. When interviewed, Bruce Lee describes the controversy that surrounded him as, Its like the childs game king of the mountain
when you have ascended and are on top, everyone is looking up at you while trying to take your place by knocking you down.
In spite of any controversy, Frank Dux experience, keen visionary insight and creativity manifests itself in producing the proposed Kumite International Challenge, 2004. Along with theestablishment the Kumite International Challenge Board, with the assistance of Douglas Lovison and, notable, world renowned martial art grand masters and martial arts celebrities (e.g. Bill Ryusaki, Gerald Okamura, Ted Tabura, Cynthia Rothrock, Olivier Gruner, Richard Norton, Douglas Wong, Higan Machado, to name just a few). Taking place, in mid July 2002, at the world celebrated Argyle hotel. Thus, founding the worlds first global, all style, noteworthy, martial art coalition.
However, this has not deterred others from attempting to take credit for Frank Duxs historic and globally recognized achievements by making wild claims. Especially, in spite of the film credit rolls and the preponderance of the evidence to the contrary by laying claim that Bloodsport is really made about them winning the Kumite, as in the absurd case of Jerry Bell, Paul Vissio and others, equally and maliciously malcontent.
Naturally, baseless allegations like these have led to confusion, speculation, innuendo about Frank Dux; transforming him, just like Bruce Lee had experienced in his heyday, into one of the most controversial globally recognized celebrities in the history of the martial arts. And, in Frank Dux case, in the special warfare black ops community, as well. Therefore, this portion of the web-site entitled Controversy provides just a sampling of the facts by which to answer as to whom, where, why, what and how a particular false allegation or the controversy that is being attributed to Frank Dux had begun or is being renewed.
As a great achievement will breed great jealousy, which is at the root of all controversy, typically, lies, gossip and half-truths become the preferred weapons of choice. Like stones made of dung they are slung by the often faceless, conniving coward. Especially made more despicable when slung by way of the greatest of all evils, in one betraying the public trust by acting under the color of authority as a representative of law enforcement or under the other appearance of impartiality and objectivity as a journalist.
As in the case of John Johnson, Los Angeles Times; Robert K. Brown, Soldier Of Fortune magazine, B.G. Burkett, Stolen Valor and their manipulating accomplices and allies. All that which serve themselves, and/or the same extremist neo-nazi fascist political agenda through an apparent sensationalism, that can only be manufactured out of a lack of honor and the absence of accountability. All of this is made undeniably self-evident by their own dark actions, which are illuminated in their respective section topic areas, made available for viewing on this web-site.
In addition, however, the innocent man or woman shares in the crime, when given to repeating the gossip and lies of others. Especially painful, when the honorable and compassionate soul discovers that they innocently had done so, merely because the allegations they repeat appear in print and one will assume, therefore, they must be true.
After all, that is how society is schooled. History taught. But history is written by the conqueror not the conquered. Giving credence to the old adage dont believe anything you read. Encouraging one to always to thoroughly check first all the facts for their self. Instead of surrendering ones power, only to one day be disappointed to discover that they have been misled, like sheep to the slaughterhouse. Otherwise, shall those who are of good and noble conscience, who desire to ascribe to serve a higher power than their self shall, due to ignorance, be damned, with their being misguided into serving evil, instead.
It is the desired result of presenting Controversy that everyone must be mindful of that inescapable truth, that there is always two sides to every story and that, until both sides are heard and the facts tested, only then is one prepared to form an intelligent judgment.
It is this web-sites intent to live up to the words of holocaust survivors, never again by giving evil no foothold. Achieved by exposing those who are in positions of public trust and if left to go undetected, will deliberately mislead others until a time when they can force the masses to conform to following the same path that had put and kept a dictator, like Adolph Hitler, in power.
Once again, these forces of darkness, the Nazi/fascists of today are spinning stories out of half-truths, as in the current day presentation of fabricated evidence and testimony, alleging that the holocaust - the organized Nazi/Fascist government murder of over twenty six million defenseless men, women and children, never happened. Proclaiming it so in print and in their literature through direct allegation or by their sublimely planting the seeds of doubt perception management. Daring to mask their mentors crimes by attacking the veracity of the victims and sensationalizing that this grotesque abomination of the world was all a Hollywood film Hoax. As well as, their attempting to rob society of its role models and heroes - like Neil Armstrong, by proclaiming that he had never landed on the moon, according to a 2002, publication. A media circus embraces the lies because they, too, serve either themselves or are in a rush to judgement. To do either, this can only be accomplished by presenting only one side of the story.
This one-sided theme is, in and of itself, the red flag warning all that a manipulative deception is taking place. One must be vigilant in training oneself to recognize and be mindful of the presence of a single theme, to avoid being deceived.
For example, the white supremacy movement has always had sympathizers who will hide behind the illusion of objectivity under the title of a journalist or scientist. In doing so, they will often pervert truth, as in Darwins theory of evolution being spun by them to serve their racist agenda. This is done by promoting in print the notion that those races of African, Latin American, Oriental and Middle-Eastern descent belong to a people that did not evolve to a level on parity with the white race. As can be seen today by comparing America, England, France, Canada, Germany, etc. to those underdeveloped countries from which these races originate. And therefore, scientifically, the Negro race as is the Jew and all others, must be considered to reside on the lower rung of the evolutionary ladder. Scientific observation they argue, as anyone can observe and judge for their self, that these kinds of people must be genetically and intellectually inferior to the white race. Otherwise, they emphasize, their kind would be on parity with us!
A similar scientific rationale promoting the superior Aryan athlete had only disintegrated because track legend, Jesse Owens, an African American, had won the gold in the Munich Olympics, in the 1930s. It took another 30 years before Olympic swimmer and world record breaking Gold Medallist, Mark Spitz, did likewise, in proving the non-athletic JEW stereotype does not ring true, anymore.
However, both Spitz and Owen would become the targets of controversy. Like all those before them, who also had achieved extraordinary acclaim. And likewise, Frank Dux, by the very same virtue of being worthy enough to stir controversy, which is welcomed as its presence is the proof as to ones importance, relevancy and authenticity. For fiction is never in need of denial.
As for those aforementioned, objective scientific minded journalists, one cannot help but observe their intentional neglect to mention all the pertinent facts. Such as, that while the superior race were painting themselves blue and howling at the moon in the midst of conducting their human sacrifices, meanwhile the so called inferior races of the Middle East had achieved a written language, criminal & civil laws and architectural wonders, like the great pyramids. The Chinese had invented the compass and the silk road, linking different cultures through trade agreements; and the descendants of Latin America had invented a solar calendar and a method for measuring time, that is still considered today, several thousands of years later, the higher mathematical wonder of the world.
It is these kinds of deceivers being masked under the appearance of journalistic objectivity that are in need of being exposed in order to protect and shield the greater good. Principally, to be complacent or to remain apathetically silent, is to allow hatred to breed and the perpetrators of fallacious reasoning to wage a war on humanity through illicit illusion, that ultimately, means to pay a price in defending truth and decency with spilled blood. As history teaches us this to be a constant truth time after time as we are doomed to repeat it, lest we not forget.
We are not intent to defend Frank Dux character, as it is not in need of defending. But rather, we are intent on exposing those consumed by hate. Expose what can only be described as the treacherous pretenders of a civilized society, whose only religious practice is a morally bankrupt and insidious philosophy that the ends always justify the means. In turning their force, their false representations against themselves is in keeping with the way of the warrior. Their shadowy ways are only eliminated by one daring to shed light on whom and what they really are. And what they really stand for.
The greater the adversity to be overcome the greater ones life is given extraordinary meaning be it by the threat of man, poverty, disease or any form of injustice. As this is the balance of life, the weight and measure of the dark to the light, todays nightmare in contrast to the dream of a better tomorrow, the acceptance and valuation of the bad with the good to come out of all things.
