The chopper has landed. Welcome to The Helipad!

Chairman here! I just wanted to write out an official introduction for The Helipad. The Helipad is an outlet that highlights and reports on the artists and creators who courageously fight the current culture war — artists, film makers, authors, comedians from the anti-woke “politically homeless” and apolitical to right wingers, and everyone in between. Unlike Hollywood and the corporate press, (we don’t say “mainstream media” here. To paraphrase the great Michael Malice, there is nothing mainstream about them or their views) these brave people are contributing positively to our culture and yet get completely ignored or even deplatformed for their art. And most importantly, there are audiences who hate what the left, Hollywood, and other formerly revered cultural institutions who are looking for alternatives, and that is exactly what The Helipad is here to help with.

Unfortunately, it seems that whenever popular right of center outlets comment on cultural issues it’s almost always criticism. I’m not saying I disagree with them necessarily, but what have they contributed to make things better in this regard? Not much. Or if they have, a lot of times it’s just cringe.

But here’s what we won’t do. The Helipad won’t be posting about the latest “Right Wing Commentator OWNS Lib College Student” type of videos or the latest episode of some commentator’s latest podcast episode or video. While it might be fun or interesting, it’s not really what we’re trying talk about here. Granted, there might be exceptions, but they’ll be rare.

The Helipad is not a political news/current events blog either. While we are definitely on the right side of the political spectrum, we will not be reporting on current events. There are plenty of outlets for that. We’re sticking with the arts.

The plan is to get one new edition out a week. However, it is not always easy to find a lot of the stories that we are looking for. It’s slim pickings out there! So if you know of an artist that you think will fit in here or if you are an artist that want to do an exclusive premiere with us, send us an email at HelipadTips@yahoo.com.
