Breaking: Kamala Harris Called the King of Jordan to Strategize About How To "Stop the Israeli Escalations"
Flashback: The AP Routinely Runs Ops with Hamas and This Is an Open Secret The Press Just Won't Report

Presiduh Kamala.

Gotta get those Jews to stop launching anti-missile-missiles at anti-civilian Hamas rockets, don't you know.

Some of the news of "Israeli escalations" from earlier this week:

Tom Cotton wants to know why the AP is roomies with Hamas.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) blasted the Associated Press Monday for its response to an Israeli airstrike over the weekend that took out a building housing the wire service's Gaza City bureau as well as Hamas military intelligence facilities.
"Why is the Associated Press sharing a building with Hamas?" Cotton asked on the Senate floor during remarks about the fighting that has raged since May 10.
"Surely these 'intrepid reporters' knew who their neighbors were," Cotton continued before asking: "Did they knowingly allow themselves to be used as human shields by a US-designated terrorist organization? Did AP pull its punches and decline to report for years on Hamas' misdeeds? I submit that the AP has some uncomfortable questions to answer."
Cotton went on to criticize the AP and other outlets for what he called their "high dudgeon" about the airstrike, which he called "wholly appropriate."
"Leave it to whiny reporters to make themselves the story and the victim when terrorists are shooting missiles at innocent civilians," he concluded.

Flashback 2014, to the leftwing Atlantic magazine: How the media makes Israel the villain in every story, and Hamas always the hero.

Journalistic hallucinations... have a precedent. They tend to occur, as in the case of the Great China Hoax, when reporters are not granted the freedom to write what they see but are rather expected to maintain a "story" that follows predictable lines. For the international press, the uglier characteristics of Palestinian politics and society are mostly untouchable because they would disrupt the Israel story, which is a story of Jewish moral failure.
Most consumers of the Israel story don't understand how the story is manufactured. But Hamas does. Since assuming power in Gaza in 2007, the Islamic Resistance Movement has come to understand that many reporters are committed to a narrative wherein Israelis are oppressors and Palestinians passive victims with reasonable goals, and are uninterested in contradictory information. Recognizing this, certain Hamas spokesmen have taken to confiding to Western journalists, including some I know personally, that the group is in fact a secretly pragmatic outfit with bellicose rhetoric, and journalists--eager to believe the confession, and sometimes unwilling to credit locals with the smarts necessary to deceive them--have taken it as a scoop instead of as spin.
During my time at the AP, we helped Hamas get this point across with a school of reporting that might be classified as "Surprising Signs of Moderation" (a direct precursor to the "Muslim Brotherhood Is Actually Liberal" school that enjoyed a brief vogue in Egypt). In one of my favorite stories, "More Tolerant Hamas" (December 11, 2011), reporters quoted a Hamas spokesman informing readers that the movement’s policy was that "we are not going to dictate anything to anyone," and another Hamas leader saying the movement had "learned it needs to be more tolerant of others." Around the same time, I was informed by the bureau's senior editors that our Palestinian reporter in Gaza couldn't possibly provide critical coverage of Hamas because doing so would put him in danger.

He notes the "reflex" of journalists to pretend they're not a part of the story, even when the story is being manufactured for their benefit. In other words, journalists deny the existence/presence of journalists even when it's obvious that Hamas has staged an event solely to be photographed by journalists and thus to smear Israel.

He notes one of the darkly funny parts of coverage of Hamas and Israel that journalists never talk about: One of the most difficult parts of getting photographs of those Hamas claims are "innocent victims" is framing a shot so that you can't see the twenty other photographers crowding around the body to get the same picture that Hamas arranged for them all to get.

...
Hamas's strategy is to provoke a response from Israel by attacking from behind the cover of Palestinian civilians, thus drawing Israeli strikes that kill those civilians, and then to have the casualties filmed by one of the world's largest press contingents, with the understanding that the resulting outrage abroad will blunt Israel's response. This is a ruthless strategy, and an effective one. It is predicated on the cooperation of journalists. One of the reasons it works is because of the reflex I mentioned. If you report that Hamas has a strategy based on co-opting the media, this raises several difficult questions, like, What exactly is the relationship between the media and Hamas? And has this relationship corrupted the media? It is easier just to leave the other photographers out of the frame and let the picture tell the story: Here are dead people, and Israel killed them.
In previous rounds of Gaza fighting, Hamas learned that international coverage from the territory could be molded to its needs, a lesson it would implement in this summer's war. Most of the press work in Gaza is done by local fixers, translators, and reporters, people who would understandably not dare cross Hamas, making it only rarely necessary for the group to threaten a Westerner. The organization's armed forces could be made to disappear. The press could be trusted to play its role in the Hamas script, instead of reporting that there was such a script. Hamas strategy did not exist, according to Hamas--or, as reporters would say, was "not the story." There was no Hamas charter blaming Jews for centuries of perfidy, or calling for their murder; this was not the story. The rockets falling on Israeli cities were quite harmless; they were not the story either.
Hamas understood that journalists would not only accept as fact the Hamas-reported civilian death toll--relayed through the UN or through something called the "Gaza Health Ministry," an office controlled by Hamas--but would make those numbers the center of coverage. Hamas understood that reporters could be intimidated when necessary and that they would not report the intimidation; Western news organizations tend to see no ethical imperative to inform readers of the restrictions shaping their coverage in repressive states or other dangerous areas. In the war's aftermath, the NGO-UN-media alliance could be depended upon to unleash the organs of the international community on Israel, and to leave the jihadist group alone.
When Hamas's leaders surveyed their assets before this summer's round of fighting, they knew that among those assets was the international press. The AP staff in Gaza City would witness a rocket launch right beside their office, endangering reporters and other civilians nearby--and the AP wouldn't report it, not even in AP articles about Israeli claims that Hamas was launching rockets from residential areas. (This happened.) Hamas fighters would burst into the AP's Gaza bureau and threaten the staff--and the AP wouldn't report it. (This also happened.) Cameramen waiting outside Shifa Hospital in Gaza City would film the arrival of civilian casualties and then, at a signal from an official, turn off their cameras when wounded and dead fighters came in, helping Hamas maintain the illusion that only civilians were dying. (This too happened; the information comes from multiple sources with firsthand knowledge of these incidents.)
Colford, the AP spokesman, confirmed that armed militants entered the AP's Gaza office in the early days of the war to complain about a photo showing the location of a rocket launch, though he said that Hamas claimed that the men "did not represent the group." The AP "does not report many interactions with militias, armies, thugs or governments,” he wrote. "These incidents are part of the challenge of getting out the news--and not themselves news."

The story is never the actual story; the story is whatever Hamas tells the AP the story is.

Note that while the press insists that Hamas's intimidation is "not the story," the AP sure goes out of its way to attack Israel for bombing a Hamas building they were squatting in.

Hamas doesn't exist as far as the press tells the story -- but Israel is always there.

61 How you know that Kamala is actually the main channel for the politburo: the King of Jordan took that call.

When you're the head of state and receive a call from another state, you don't talk to underlings. If an underling calls you, you give that call to one of your underlings unless some prior agreement is in place (like speaking with a theater commander or an ambassador for a specific issue).

He took that call, as have other (and bigger) heads of state. That is unusual. Extremely unusual. The fact that these calls are being accepted tells you that they're all in on something: knowledge that Kamala's the actual interface to America's ruling class.

89 "Breaking: Kamala Harris Called the King of Jordan to Strategize About How To "Stop the Israeli Escalations""

I was so excited when Joe told me about the Israeli ejaculations, and got a little bitchy when I found out what was really going on. What a let down.

90 Probably mentioned in the linked article: AP and AJ (for sure) likely employ Hamas people.

We KNOW they do, because they get credit in some stories as "stringers" and photographers. During the Iraq War, every press agency and newspaper went out of its way to hire enemy agents to "help" with reporting (translate: so our foreign bureau can hang out in a hotel and sex up underage refugees then file something a stringer wrote for them).

100 One of the most difficult parts of getting photographs of those Hamas claims are "innocent victims" is framing a shot so that you can't see the twenty other photographers crowding around the body to get the same picture that Hamas arranged for them all to get.

When I was in high school, I had an English teacher who was a former journalist. She despised fake news (as we now call it) and got out of journalism because she couldn't stand the corruption and lying. On the wall of her classroom, she had two pictures hanging side-by-side.

One was the famous picture of the Palestinian rock-thrower draped in a flag and winding up with his stone to let it loose upon an Israeli oppressor.

The other was the same event, but a reverse angle from a photographer on the other side of the boy. It showed the same thing. The boy, the flag, the windup - but it also showed a line of 20 or so press photographers lined up and in position and snapping pictures.

She referenced it whenever discussing current affairs and encouraging people (and teaching them how) to read news stories with extreme skepticism, and to ensure that skepticism extended to photography.

152 Whenever Joe Glickman heads out for groceries, he places an N95 mask over his face and tugs a cloth mask on top of it. He then pulls on a pair of goggles.

He has used this safety protocol for the past 14 months. It did not change after he contracted the coronavirus last November. It didn't budge when, earlier this month, he became fully vaccinated. And even though President Biden said on Thursday that fully vaccinated people do not have to wear a mask, Mr. Glickman said he planned to stay the course.

In fact, he said, he plans to do his grocery run double-masked and goggled for at least the next five years.

Why? That is a serious question, by the way.

When you're at war, the *mission* is your paramount responsibility, as is maintaining your ability to continue operations. This means protecting and maintaining shit you need while you kill the enemy. Your men are important. Your materiel is important. Killing the enemy is important. Avoiding collateral damage (unless collateral damage is a goal) is important.

Maintaining the safety of people who chose to show up and take pictures but are unrelated to your mission is irrelevant. You shouldn't go out of your way to get them hurt, but devoting meaningful resources and making tactical or strategic compromises on their behalf is insane.

True, but it raises a question: exactly why wouldn't the IDF directly attack US media offices? If things get worse here, and increasingly it looks like ihey will, once civil war breaks out propaganda organs would have to be the first targets. Ask Rwandans how much complicity propaganda organs had in their unpleasantness.

Has anyone explained the merit of the Left's desire for proportionality? Outside of sane places such as AoSHQ, it's treated as if this is a perfectly reasonable thing, that in war it should be a fair fight, and when the two sides have wildly different levels of ability and competence, the one side should hold back in order to take "proportional" damage and casualties. WTF?

I don't really think so. I think she was the Party's favorite in the primaries, but crashed and burned so spectacularly that there was never going to be a way to beg, borrow, or steal enough to push her over the line. So they put this decrepit old monkey-skeleton in place with her at the bottom of the ticket, to be slid into place when he croaks or retires.

If they have an "insurance policy," I'm sure it's just how they're going to railroad (or just murder) Biden if Doctor J won't oblige them when the time comes for him to go.

The original Red Terror was the warm-up act. A million were murdered, possibly two million, after a foiled assassination attempt on Lenin (or purported one). The plans to unleash the Terror had been on the drawing board for a year and needed a causis belli. While there obviously was no assassination attempt or even real violent on January 6, what has happened since is eerily similar.

I really have to wonder what the people pulling Biden's strings are thinking. I mean, they can't possibly want Biden to be front and center for 4 years. Nobody is going to convince me he's in charge of anything except pooping his pants.

At some point - very soon - Biden is going to become a jibbering idiot accusing everybody of plotting against him, and maybe even taking swings at people. We've all seen it. So then what? Could they really have not seen this coming? Did any doctors who operated on Joe's brain not say anything? And when Harris steps in, then what? Even CA hates her guts.

I'd almost think Biden was a Trump plot to become emperor of the world in 2024.

Jordan used to be about 70% Palestinian, 30% Jordanian, hence the eggshells. Most Jordanians have no problem with Israel, but they enjoy drawing breath, so...

328 I fully expect the press to fully investigate whoever LEAKED the call to their full abilities.

Because exposing confidential Executive branch communications with foreign leaders is an attack on our Constitution and act of insurrection doncha know.

329 If you are a US Jew today, get your head staved in by Mussleman assholes and still blame whitey, Republicans and Israel, then, to quote Chris Rock, maybe you should get your ass kicked.

I have no time to save or care for a self-gassing Jew.

335 The King of Jordan is a intelligent man and knows Harris is a waste product and a political hack idiot. The King does not care for Hamas and deep in his heart wants Israel to wipe them out because Hamas is just a bunch of cockroaches. He probably blew off Harris and just said thank you for the call and good bye. Why doesn't Horris visit Saudi Arabia, Jordan, UAE, etc.. ? The answer is they do not want her or Biden around because they are worthless and any agreement they make with them hurts them in the long run....

337 While there obviously was no assassination attempt or even real violent on January 6, what has happened since is eerily similar.

I think DC is a field exercise. They're learning how to occupy a US city, in their typical inept way, while also setting the precedent. Won't be surprised if they do this in several cities in '22 - in order to ensure another election rig.

340 The video posted by Mike is actually pretty epic. The rockets are largely silent inbound and hit EXACTLY where intended with little to know collateral damage to the surrounding buildings. Until the last major part falls, there's very little damage done to the other buildings.

They have to be more insidious and secretive about it here.

342 most people I've ever known simply are unwilling to change. They'd rather die than change. They'll bitch and moan about dying - but die all the same rather than change or make a change.

Its about self worth and arrogance. They don't want to admit that they were wrong. Often a lot of their worldview is tied up into that viewpoint, and its very hard to give up what you have long assumed and understood about life.

Its scary, suddenly there are no foundations, you are shaken to the core and feel as if you can't know or understand anything. You want to stay in that cozy warm cocoon of how everything used to be when it made sense.

Its easier to just figure you were right all along and somehow this is just some aberration or something that hasn't been explained away yet.

343 King Abdullah is a decent guy, as much as any Middle Eastern ruler is going to be. I don't love that this is going on, but he has cooperated helpfully with us and with Israel (as much as he can get away with).

Reaching out to him is not obviously stabbing Israel in the back. We have an interest in not seeing this spill over to turn Jordan into the next Syria.

Now, having the *Vice* President make this call, as others have pointed out, is shabby, and unsettling.

I have to hand it to Democrats, though. It is a decent play. I'm pretty sure Bibi and others in Israel have said "go piss up a rope" to us already.

They probably care more about the King's opinion, though. I still think it's a losing play, but it may be the only one... going to the neighbors and trying to turn them on Israel is probably the only leverage we have.

350 BREAKING: The Royal Court of Jordan says U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris called King Abdullah II to discuss the "efforts to stop the Israeli escalations in East Jerusalem and the aggression on Gaza."

It's always amazing how it's always "stop Israeli escalations" and never "stop terrorists from terrorizing neighbor countries."

We used to go into a cave in upstate NY that had ice in it year round. You go in laying down but you can sort of go sidways--it's a wide layer open about 20" so it's not too bad.

I fell a bit behind my first time in and I thought the guy in front of me had gone upward through another crack. That crack hit a dead end with another horizontal crack that was really just a bit too small for a person, but I thought that everyone had made it through so I was trying to jam myself into it.

The guy behind me saw my foot disappearing up above him and asked where I was going. I have never been happier to reverse engines, and that I didn't manage to get stuck.

Hard to reason somebody out of something they didn't reason into, ain't it ?

I know a little - and I won't pretend I don't. But the amount of fuckers that know nothing yet assume they know everything blows me away. Challenge their pre-conceptions, and they lose their shit. I'm truly glad I grew up ignorant and poor. Just less useless mental baggage to drag around.
