New York Times Employees Tie Paper's Future to Racism [KT]
It used to be when someone said "white supremacy" I'd think "Oh, like the KKK" but now I think "Oh, like breakfast cereal."The New York Times reveals its new vision The basics are noted at Powerline:
Frank J. Fleming
Someone at the New York Times recorded an employee "town hall" with editor Dean Baquet and turned it over to Slate. Ashley Feinberg has posted a "lightly edited and condensed" transcript of the 75 meeting here. Byron York distills the essence in the tweet below. Randall McMurphy, call your office.York:
Did it sometimes seem like the New York Times' entire focus was Trump-Russia? Like it built its newsroom around one story? Now, top editor says it did just that. But after Mueller report, paper has had to retool. New focus? Trump racism.
The town hall was spurred by angry reaction, both inside and outside the Times, to a headline that many on the Left faulted for being insufficiently anti-Trump. After the El Paso shootings, when the president denounced white supremacy, the Times published a page-one story with the heading, "Trump Urges Unity Vs. Racism." "I think one of the reasons people have such a problem with a headline like this ... is because they care so much," one staffer said to Baquet. "And they depend on the New York Times. They are depending on us to keep kicking down the doors and getting through, because they need that right now. It's a very scary time." Baquet vowed a transition to a new "vision" for the paper for the next two years. . . "How do we write about race in a thoughtful way, something we haven't done in a large way in a long time? That, to me, is the vision for coverage. You all are going to have to help us shape that vision. But I think that's what we're going to have to do for the rest of the next two years."So basically, that meeting was called because the New York Times accidentally told the truth in a headline. York also noted about the meeting that "no one could be surprised that a recording of it leaked, possibly by Times employees who want to push Baquet in an even more anti-Trump direction." As someone noted in the comments at Powerline, The Times is making an extraordinarily valuable campaign contribution to the Democrats. Brit Hume recounted a little history in reaction to York's piece:
Former executive Times editor Abe Rosenthal told me many years ago, he wanted it to be said of him: "He kept the paper straight."Mollie Hemingway has some observations Mollie Hemingway did a good job of countering much of the Russia Media Hoax as it unfolded. She has some fun with the NYT "vision" meeting reported at Slate, and makes some good observations:
Indeed, those words are on his gravestone. As the story . . . makes clear, playing it straight is not the Times' mission now.
"I'm going to be really honest. I actually don't think we can make a whole lot more mistakes," said executive editor Dean Baquet.Hemingway:
I sort of assumed they weren't so stupid as to actually believe the Russia collusion hoax as much as running a journalistic resistance operation pretending they did. But saying they were caught "flat-footed" by implosion of Russia collusion story intrigues me ... They were chief peddlers of a dangerously false Russia collusion narrative for years. It blew up in their faces. It was a humiliating failure. Baquet's introspection: "We won two Pulitzer Prizes covering that story. And I think we covered that story better than anybody else."They covered it better than anybody else. Won two Pulitzers. And it was all a hoax. So, maybe there is a White Supremacy Hoax. too! Remember the calls to fire Tucker Carlson when he said that the growing concerns over white supremacy were a hoax? Well, earlier this week Angelo Codevilla said the same thing. Along with this:
A generation of domestic peace is increasingly difficult to imagine.
Just yesterday, "the deplorables" were to be deplored because they were "racist, sexist, homophobic," clingers to "God and guns," and Russian dupes to boot. Today, the agility and unanimity with which our politicians and media--heck, the ruling class--have shifted to indicting roughly 72 percent of the population as white supremacists, likely violent, would fill with envy their homologues in China, Cuba, North Korea, and other tyrannical places. By comparison, Joseph Goebbels had sloppy message discipline. Not even the Soviets in their salad days were so "on message!"I imagine that the New York Times is going to be "on message". But you might want to read the whole thing. Some excerpts:
One may suppose that our ruling class merely intends to energize its constituencies and cower the opposition in the 2020 elections. But this is no game. Their proposals would impose pre-punishment for pre-crimes on persons accused or "suspected" of being a "white supremacist." By whom? On the basis of what? In practice, a "white supremacist" is anyone whom anyone in power dislikes enough to so label him. Who would accept being outlawed at will? Our ruling class plays with matches in a house drenched in gasoline.Some creepy possibilities concerning "red flag" laws and such follow.
In January 2012, the Department of Homeland Security, in cooperation with the University of Maryland, published a study titled "Hot Spots of Terrorism and Other Crimes in the United States, 1979-2008." It classified persons who it judged to be "suspicious of centralized federal authority" and "reverent of individual liberty" as "extreme right wing terrorists." . . . Skeptical of the government? You're a potential terrorist.
In July 2012, Colonel Kevin Benson of the U.S. Army's University of Foreign Military and Cultural Studies at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and Jennifer Weber of the University of Kansas, published an article in the Small Wars Journal titled "Full Spectrum Operations in the Homeland: A 'Vision' of the Future." Benson and Weber argued that the U.S. Army should prepare itself for contingencies such as "extremist militia motivated by the goals of the 'tea party' movement" seizing a small town. They contend, moreover, that Army's "Operating Concept, 2016-2028" obliges "the military to execute without pause and as professionally as if it were acting overseas.""Extremist militia motivated by the goals of the 'tea party'? Taking over a small town? How does this even make sense from an "Tea Party" point of view? The Ruling Class is really sincere about the importance of the Ruling Class, isn't it?

The NYT needs to publicly pantsed at High Noon, for all to see.
But I'll put the first bet down, as to the TV/MSN yappers all closing ranks around the NYT in order to protect their Oracle.
Story will be bent, altered, folded, mutilated, spindled, stapled and stained into un-recognizability, before the public even knows there *was* a story to begin with.
Bass. Turds.
The MSN. Not the public. Well, at least not 47% of 'em.

And now they've stated on record and as official policy to simply go nuts on white supremacism and racism as their go-to narrative. And the others in that discussion all want to go even more nuts, while the leftist hack editor is the moderate in the room, relatively speaking.
Nowhere in this discussion was "maybe we should gather information and report it accurately without attempting any editorial spin or predetermined narrative," no professionalism, no attempt at simply being a news organization.
These newspapers cannot die fast enough. They do almost not reporting or gathering facts. They do almost no investigation or original writing. They simply gather tips and reprint press releases and take leaks and follow trending on social media platforms.

When you effectively silence Men, eventually they will find other methods of making their feelings known.

Racism - the extremist belief that men should be judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin.
Diversity - no straight, white people
Hate - not wanting the government to tell you what you are allowed to think
Feminism - woman and men are exactly the same, except women are better

We very rarely would get any, usually at summer camps in those little boxes with wax lining and only enough cereal to feed a chipmunk.
The reason was partly "that's too much sugar" but mostly "those cereals cost 50% more and we can't afford them." When the choice was between Life and generic Cheerios, you got the generic Cheerios. And back then it was generic: the black and white packaging with the stars that said "CEREAL"

at least would point this out and look into it. How badly the news
media acts as in-kind contributors to the Democratic Party
***
It is a many layered problem.
Some people that would otherwise be on "our side" are bought off, some blackmailed*, and some look at what happened to Scalise and Rand Paul and keep their heads down.
As a golden example of the blackmail, look back to the 90s.
Newt had tried to impeach Clinton - so the FNM destroys him. Newt's chosen successor likewise got destroyed by the FNM.
Next on deck? Dennis Hastert. Who is a pedophile. Which the FNM knew at the time but kept hidden.
So they destroyed the two people who would have been useful to the conservative movement and allowed someone they could blackmail to lead the Republicans. And as soon as Hastert came to power the Republicans stopped doing anything of note in the House. What a coincidence huh?

Meaning it doesn't matter who you disavow. If you aren't joining the Two Minutes' Hate against the heritage population of this country, you could disavow John Kasich and still be labeled a terrorist threat.
"They contend, moreover, that Army's "Operating Concept, 2016-2028" obliges "the military to execute without pause and as professionally as if it were acting overseas.""
Let that one sink in. And keep in mind that Obama had eight years to appoint flag and general officers, and promote other grades, and at least 134 were relieved while he was in office.

They're desperate. Like the carnival-goer playing Razzle Dazzle, they're so close to winning that they're already making plans for their prize.
They were like this around 1970, so close to final victory, the utter transformation of American society but they failed. They got this way again around 2004, but by the time they were supposed to finally have it all they got Trump instead.
It will happen again, with even more desperation. I suspect that the jig will be up after their third failure a couple-few generations from now. Before that happens, though, I would expect them to try anything and everything. Those will be truly scary times.

in other words, all the founders were terrorists (to the crown), and the constitution is a terrorist pamphlet.
The oligarchs indeed want to reassert absolute authority of their crown. The freedom to rise up to the middle class (lawns are now white supremacy items) ... those people need to be put in their place (as serfs).
The whole deplorable/irredeemable narrative was to serve that purpose, so is the open borders crap. The want globalist totalitarian rule, with or without the smiley face.

pep, they believed it. They are that deluded. I think this is good news. They acted on a delusion throughout the 2016 campaign and what did it get them? The experience of spending a scant three hours undoing a prediction that was years in the making.
By the way, that was an awesome thing to watch, just like sand through an hourglass, the way that prediction reshaped. I was keeping my Grandma company that night because she was so jittery about the outcome, and I kept checking in on my phone to see how things were going. Watching that graphic at the New York Times slide from 96% to blue disaster in real time was stunning.

So it is impossible to say "the MSM was tricked" or they wanted to believe, or whatever. They are not distinct entities, they are one big denomination at the least, and their heads conspire together (many are married/family). At the highest level, they are a true global crime syndicate, like Hydra in the sci-fi version.
The DNC coordinated messaging goes straight to the MSM, even to the point of using the phrase of the week to be more effective in brainwashing the public (walls closing in, Trump'sRacism, etc). It is engineered psychological warfare, extended from the Soviet days. (and more and more evidence shows it has been the mafia and commies inside from the get go).

Man, I hate to be a downer, but entire cities have been in open violation of federal immigration law for years. With no consequence, except to citizen taxpayers, who don't count. It hasn't cost the cities a thing in federal funding.
It's nice to imagine actual consequences for Antifa criminals, but if, hypothetically, Portland cracks down on riots by selectively charging only non-commies with felonies, and declares itself a sanctuary city for anti-American terrorists, what's their exposure? Nothing.

There's a great documentary on Bowie on Showtime, I just saw it again this morning.
It's about the early years before he was really Bowie, just trying everything he could, mime, multimedia, songwriting, and he just wasn't breaking through.
Too odd, I guess. The funny thing is that the early songs before he was Bowie the Genius are still pure Bowie, people just couldn't see it yet.
The doc ends with the retirement of the Ziggy Stardust character. I saw him in '76 and was thinking I'd missed the peak of his superstardom. Turned out he never made money until Let's Dance in '82 or '83.

It's worse than that. You will be able to rely on extremist groups like Antifa, Bloods, and communist groups if you are a leftist and the white nationalists and similar extremist groups if you are on the right. This is why they emerge and grow because groups like the Oathkeepers, the GOP, the police are absent and weak willed.
And many people will be caught in the middle. Being left to your own would be a blessing but it isn't likely.
Violence always leads to increases in power to such groups because they have the will to act while so many in the center are lost in self doubt. They don't always take power but they do grow in strength and are increasingly seen as viable alternatives.

Yeah, the capacity to question your motives and activities rather than act with absolute certainty is a weakness in dire and critical times. When it goes horribly wrong, you need someone with singular vision and unwavering commitment, but those are usually the worst sort of people.

Hillary's (scripted, I'm sure) comments included "back then we didn't know it was news till Walter Cronkite told us it was news". That really says it all ... NewSpeak ... they used Orwell as a cookbook for communism (though it started before Orwell of course).
There are internecine power struggles no doubt, but they agree we a free people are an enemy to their NWO, and that frames their 50 year incursion through our institutions and the spread of their PC Religion/dogma.

that I thought the thing in Portland was a bad idea. It tees up prosecutions of right-wingers by hard Left city and state governments, and gives the MSM an opportunity to paint the opponents of Antifa as violent terrorists.
But bad idea or not, if you say you're going to show up for the fight, you have to show up. I can't see that Oath Keepers are anything but the punchline to an unfunny joke now, and forever. A humiliating climbdown, demoralizing to the side they say they are on.

Metallica's music is so technically sound and innovative that it can be transposed to other styles and still retain its force.
There are so many elements of classical music that they based their phrasing and timing on as well. Wagner, Beethoven, deBussy. I will go to a classical performance and hear the portions that Metallica has borrowed. It's haunting. Those timeless portions make their music more easily converted to other styles.

One way of looking at it is that God doesn't "permit" evil - Satan is The Great Deceiver. God gives us free will to choose, and many choose unwisely.
If you think about the Ten Commandments as a pathway to maximize happiness, you can see how evil finds ways to motivate us to ignore them. Take envy, for example. How much unhappiness is caused by that alone?
And look at our politicians. How they strive to create unhappiness among us.

Grist for the rumor mill:
Convicted pedophile and alleged sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein reportedly had a $100,000 cement truck rushed to his mansion in the Virgin Islands late last year, just days before a bombshell report was published by the Miami Herald which ultimately led to his arrest.
Epstein "got the Carmix 5.5 XL self-loading concrete mixer delivered to Little St. James on November 7 last year," the Daily Mail reported. "Epstein was in such a hurry that he paid for the machine up front so it would arrive sooner - even though it meant being responsible if it got damaged in transit."
The timeline of events is important here, especially when taking into consideration other items that Epstein shipped to his other residences at times when he was facing legal troubles.
. . . .
"Epstein shipped a shredder from the U.S. Virgin Islands to his Palm Beach home in July 2008, shortly after reaching a non-prosecution agreement with then-U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta, maritime records show," The Intercept reported. "Then, in March of this year, shortly after a Florida federal judge invalidated that agreement, Epstein shipped a tile and carpet extractor from the Virgin Islands to his Manhattan townhouse, the records show."

Sadly the worst evil is caused by humanity doing neither and just being mediocre.
Mediocrity kills more surely than any evil you can dream up.

A (deliberately?) misleading headline. Medical examiners cannot rule something a suicide. They can only rule that the wounds are consistent with suicide. They aren't detectives, they don't build a case or go over the crime scene (TV shows notwithstanding). All they do is examine the body and deliver a conclusion based on what the damage and chemistry tell them.

Uh huh. That's plausible.
Most here cling bitterly to their focus on "evil" and the Frankfurt school blah blah blah - but isn't it becoming impossible to ignore that these people, in a practical sense, are just very ignorant and stupid - as long direct experience has shown me?

There have been a lot of people over the years that appear to have a need to be a victim, a "me too" persona, and oft make every post solely about themselves.
Sometimes it seems that nics are trying to one-up and be the most needy, rather than discuss the topics.

And speaking about that [also doesn't much interest me], of all things, during an oral history interview by the WWII Museum I saw recently, an Italian-American vet who had been on the ground/ordnance crew for the atomic missions from Tinian, and who returned to continue/eventually run his family's construction business, casually dropped his confident conclusion about who killed Hoffa towards the end of the interview.
He was talking about his post-war life and his run-ins with mobbed up labor unions, and the guy who menaced him for years was Hoffa's killer, he asserted with no hint of doubt. Kind of funny.

A ruling of suicide ends any investigation usually. Without the ruling of homicide or pending the investigation has no hook to continue and the detectives will be put on other cases.
Now someone private could get permission for another forensic pathologist to examine Epsteins body and rule another way but they would have to get a judge and the Prosecutor involved and let's face it; even those not part of this thing in the least have little desire to be involved or to be associated with it in any way.

Satan as god of this world does not have power over the Christian (sticking with the Christian side of things). The whole "Christ in you the hope of glory" ... gives us sonship rights to claim our new authority, since we were redeemed from Adam's sins, via the blood of the lamb. Had the prince's of this world known about that (the mystery) they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
The world is still the world and evil is pretty prevalent, I just never like to acquiesce to the idea the Satan rules the earth. No, we have power. There is a rather direct parallel to the US constitution ... we have power over the corrupt, but the deceivers (like the NYT) use their propaganda to get us to submit (calling us racist, and all that, building their fake narrative).
Just from a mental state of mind, a free people should never subject themselves to the powers of this world ... like the NYT or Obama's DoJ ... united we stand. So they divide us. They don't own us, they don't own anyone, but many submit. imo

If I recollect correct, the NYT has a policy of having each reporter pick a 'theme' each year and in every article they write inject a little plug on that 'theme'.
I'd expect that is considered a good policy at all major pubs, because NYT does it so it has to be a good thing..
Given the left leanings of the 'press' in general most of the 'themes' are going to be issues near and dear to the progs.
No surprise 'Global Warming' pops in damn near every article one reads for years (you could read an article in NatGeo about the Civil War and they'd put in a gratuitous plug on global warming).
Baseless allegations that Trump is a RUSSIAN asset was a sure hit for prog reporters to slip into every story no matter how unrelated.

I don't think Orwell himself ever imagined something as ridiculous and degrading as the "salute to the NHS" jaw-dropper at the Olympics opening ceremonies. That ranks as the perfect, unbelievable, illuminating stunt in recent UK history.

that that absurd salute to the NHS would make a perfect setting for the climax.

Haven't seen them play in a while, but to be rash I'd take the Soviet version under coach Tikhonov, and these cheerleaders [who didn't exist back then, of course], as the combo for the win.
Don't think the current system can produce a team with the discipline and systematic approach to the game that was perhaps the sole redeeming thing produced by decades of Soviet terror, theft, and mayhem.

Even after the police [with a very apparent strong case that the governor, mayor, and chief of police culpably denied the protestors their civil rights by allowing things to develop] had allowed things to get violent on the margins of the permitted protest, they did much worse when disbanding it - forcing people out the back of the park, right into the mob/melee, instead of forward and to the side, where empty streets were available.
The AG, that very day, promised a civil rights investigation [most relying on "press" distortion, assumed that meant one directed towards the handful of white power nitwits]. Bupkis. And the only ones in jeopardy in such a review would have been the governor, mayor, and chief of police.

Heather Locklear has pleaded no contest to charges that she fought with first responders during two visits to her Southern California home last year.
Locklear entered the plea in Ventura County court Friday afternoon to five counts of battery on a peace officer, one count of battery on emergency personnel and two counts of resisting, obstructing or delaying a peace officer.
A judge sentenced her to 120 days in jail, but the sentence was stayed pending completion of a substance-abuse treatment program.
The 57-year-old "Melrose Place" and "T.J. Hooker" actress was also sentenced to three years' probation.

Once people meet and get feeling better about life, we usually never see them again.
But the "at least you know the person's politics" part does not hold, and it's because you don't, really. Among the FukTrump crowd, if they have that one big thing in common, it coo and they're ready for a cross-country road trip.
Among supposed conservatives, there is a long, long dance, from the daywalk deep into the overnight open, about every single detail of potential policy difference until you finally get to "Splitter!" And we generally get to splitter each and every night, over something or other.

Three, I thank Bander was posting ironically, as if to suggest maybe Palpatine was a phony from the git go. And Bander's hash, fuk7c, has been distinctive for years, so the socking is transparent, anyway.

It does not really matter.
Despite the massive difference in rally attendance, lifelong donks and progs will vote for whoever has a 'D', repubs will vote 'R', What will count is who is counting the votes.
When you see some talking head saying the reason for huge Trump rallies is his very enthusiastic base and that is still a small part of all voters and the final vote will still be about 50/50 like it always is, they are right.
And it scares the fvck out of the dem/prog left.
They are masters of projection and transference. Obama etc pulls shit and tells the supporters to get in their face, confront them everywhere, when they bring a knife we bring a gun...
If Trump even comes close any such phrase they freak out because the Progs did do all of that.

The NYT didn't get the Russian hoax wrong. Saying so makes them look incompetent.
The NYY knew Russia Russia Russia was a hoax right from the start, because one of their own journos had sex with James Wolfe, Feinstein's pal in the Intelligence Senate committee, who leaked to her the unredacted FISA application on Carter Page.
FISA application requirements are very specific. The FBI must prove their FISA evidence is accurate. Page's FISA application is nothing but a copy of the Steel Dossier, Russian propaganda disguised as oppo research paid for by the Clinton machine.
The NYT fully knew the origins of the investigation started by the FBI was a fraud. So no, they didn't get it wrong. They peddle lies on purpose.

Trump needs to win to cement his legacy, but if he doesn't, he still changed the game. No one is going to settle for a Jeb or a Romney-type after Trump.

All of the illegals claim married and 9 here. They pay zero in Federal tax* but they do pay Social Security taxes. That's why everyone wants them here....they are propping up Social Security without ever drawing any benefits. It's part of the pyramid scheme.
*Some illegals get a ITIN number which allows them to get IRS benefits such as EIC and others. But they pay zero in taxes due to the number of exemptions claimed.

Yes, but...
Warren won her Senate seat with 54% in 2012 against incumbent RINO Scott Brown, who had won the seat just two years earlier. She won reelection easily in 2016 with 60% of the vote. She almost certainly starts with well over 200 electoral votes.
I had to dump a girlfriend at the time because she was such an Elizabeth Warren fangirl. This despite the fact that she had taught herself to overcome her gag reflex and was very enthusiastic about demonstrating her skills.

Of course, but MA had elected Scott Brown two years earlier and elected and re-elected arch-RINO Charlie Baker as governor afterwards. Baker remains the most popular governor in the country today, despite many like me being disgusted with him.
Warren locks up the blue states and has a siren-like appeal in swing states to suburban and single women who are looking for big government to permanently take the place of the generous daddy/husband they never had.

Brown was an outlier and he only lasted one term. It sure didn't hurt that he got to run against Martha Coakley who is thoroughly unlikable and dumb enough to not have a clue about recent Red Sox history while running in MA.
I don't see Warren having much appeal outside of deep blue areas. People know she's a phony.

Scotty Centerfold kept his campaign promise on GaylordCare but was a quintessential RINO on everything else. Choadley was really a disgusting piece of work on how she kept dragging her feet on releasing the male Amirault after the whole world knew he'd been railroaded.
Posted by: Captain Hate at August 17, 2019 04:19 PM (y7DUB)
Charlie Baker (R-LOL) was later elected governor of MA in 2014 and reelected in 2018. Sure, Martha Coakley is uniquely repellant, but even the Dems would never allow her to run for anything ever again.
I don't see Warren having much appeal outside of deep blue areas. People know she's a phony.
Everyone knows she's a phony, and it has now been proven by her own 1/1024th DNA tests, and yet she's at #2 in the Dem primary polls and climbing. It is about her appeal to single women. Blame the 19th amendment for allowing people to vote themselves free shit.
But I thought Hillary had that demo sewed up to. Why would you spot Warren 200 EVs?
Blue states and single women. Marianne Williamson would get 200 EVs.

Yes, she's number 2 in the Democrat primary. That's my point. The base has gone so far left that she has a reasonably good shot at the nomination. That's not saying much when you look at the collection of freaks and weirdos running. It looks the Star Wars bar scene when they get together.
But those same policies are not going to win the presidency. Socialism just isn't that popular with the majority of the country. None of these clowns is going to beat Trump.
