AP Calls Terrorist Leader Nasrallah "Charismatic and Shrewd;" The Washington Post Calls Him "A Moral Compass"

Here is just a partial list of the murders perpetrated by one of history's most prolific serial killers:

nasrallahsmurders.jpg

Note that Hezballah has killed more Americans than any other terrorist organization, at least before 9/11.

The AP looks right past the thousands of murders he's responsible for and praises him as "charismatic and shrewd."


Associated Press called out for headline on death of terror leader: 'Charismatic and shrewd'


X users contrasted to the headline for the death of a GOP senator: 'Former US Sen. Jim Inhofe, defense hawk who called human-caused climate change a 'hoax,' dies at 89'

Social media users blasted the Associated Press for its recent obituary headline for Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, describing it as kinder to the terror leader than the outlet's obituary for late U.S. senator Jim Inhofe.

The AP News headline marking Nasrallah's death this week referred to the Hezbollah boss as "charismatic and shrewd," while the outlet's headline for Inhofe's death in July painted the late lawmaker in a bad light, reminding readers he "called human-caused climate change a 'hoax.'"

Observant X users noticed the difference in tone between the two obituaries. Prominent conservative account @AGHamilton29 remarked, "This is actual enemy of the people stuff." He also noted that the article left out Hezbollah's "entire history of terrorism, describes their mass starvation and murder as 'taken part in the conflict in neighboring Syria', and tries to paint him as a 'moderate.'"


The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that Nasrallah was killed in its strike against the group's headquarters in Lebanon on Friday. According to the military group, Nasrallah was responsible for the murder of many Israeli civilians and soldiers, as well as the planning and execution of thousands of terrorist activities around the world.

The IDF said Nasrallah was one of Hezbollah's co-founders as well as its central decision-maker and the strategic leader. The terror group confirmed his death following the IDF's announcement.

The Associated Press published its obituary on Friday for Nasrallah, with the original headline, "Charismatic and shrewd: A look at longtime Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah." An updated version of the piece featured a new headline, stating, "Who was longtime Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah?" But an Internet Archive search confirmed the existence of the more generous title.

In addition to the controversial headline, the outlet waited before referring Hezbollah as a terror group, only referring to the organization's terrorist designation by the U.S. at around the 14th paragraph of the article.

Rather, the outlet referred to Hezbollah as a "Lebanese militant group," and "one of the most powerful paramilitary groups in the Middle East." The report also described the Nasrallah as a "fiery, charismatic leader."

He died as he lived: Fiery.

The New York Times: Nasrallah just "wanted equality."

The Muslim terrorism apologists still have the "American" ones beat: They're saying that the Jews only managed to pull off this coup because their intelligence service do deals with genies.

71 The Jews have access to genies etc:

I'm not sure the western mind can comprehend the degree to which concepts of inshalla and spiritism dominate the Muslim mind. They are fatalistic on two fronts--either gods will or the will of other spirits , both of which are more powerful than humans, is their primary lens for interpretation of the world. The headlines in Indonesia after the tsunami were things like "VENGEANCE" and "PUNISHMENT". I don't remember the exact words but they were instantly trying to figure out what they had done wrong and what spirit would do this to them.

So yeah they interact with every event in terms of spiritual causation.

At the barest of bare minimums, there is no credible testible proof that human activity has changed the climate either since or before the Industrial Revolution.


And with the climate gate revelations about Michael Mann et al, showing the data either later or fabricated, the label of hoax, considering the drive to depopulate and deindustrialize the world is IMHO accurate.

Most of the FEMA flood map calculations are based on statistical assumptions about the likelihood of a 1 in 100, 1 in 500, etc. event. Problem is that they are relying on a dataset that is well short of that to calculate those probabilities. So you get occurrences of 'black swan' events much more often than FEMA's maps suggest.

Dump 15-18 inches of rain in an area over twenty four or thirty six hours and something is going to flood, even high spots assumed to be 'safe' because unless you live on top of a crag, water always flows downhill.

135 All surely true. All leaders of men are charismatic. It's part of the requirement. They can be brutal barbarians or paragons of polished erudition, but they will *all* be charismatic. They will all be shrewd, too. Hard to stay alive in politics otherwise. Leaders of men tend to be moral leaders, too. It is more often than not a package deal.

But that doesn't mean any of them are *good.* That's a different issue. These are glowing terms and they are selected very much on purpose to try to paint people in a good light, but none of them are actually meaningful on their own. Being charismatic and cunning and claiming - and even managing to achieve - moral authority does not imply goodness.

Jim Jones was charismatic, shrewd and a moral leader. Cult leaders always are, just like politicians. Your average big company CEO is selected for charisma and shrewdness and he is also usually a "moral leader" within the statistical universe of the corporation - "our corporate values" and "our working culture" and whatnot always go with the package. Does it mean the CEO is good? No, of course not. But he *will* have at least two and usually all three mantles. He has to. He's a leader of men.

I seem to recall Time made Hitler the Man of the Year once between 1933 and 1938. And they named the Ayatollah Khomeini, he of the Carter-era hostage crisis, as MotY in '79 or '80. They probably *meant* Hitler/Khomeini was the biggest news generator and biggest story of the year, not that either should be lauded, canonized, and given a gold watch. Though of course, with the mainstream media even 90 years ago, it's hard to be sure.

The dirty secret is that Rupert Murdoch financed his media empire with Saudi money. Bin Talal was a big silent partner of NewsCorp. Carlos Slim came from Lebanese Ex Pats to Mexico and probably is why the NYT lurched to defending the indefensible throughout the Mideast. Without Slim's money, Pinch and Co would have probably went under during the 2008 financial crisis. He owns about 17 percent of the shares.

Mo's history of existence is murkier and more like Zoroastrianism's Zoroaster aka Zarathustra.

Andy Willman, the producer of Top Gear, mentioned it in an interview with Ben Collins. I think he also mentioned it was one of those things they did which, in retrospect, wasn't very bright.

Because those hill people are not the type to vote "correctly" and needed to be taught a lesson. There were people on the socials actually saying that. And not just the typical drones.

To this day we receive information from family back in WV about how little has been rebuilt in those areas. Nobody could get a loan. The state is/was overwhelmed. The feds... didn't give a shit. Still don't.

401 363 A huge dig in northern Saudi Arabia about 15 years ago was abruptly halted. Evidently they discovered that much of the northern part of SA should be considered as Israel.

Decades ago, I heard that the Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago was doing an archaeological dig in Syria. They dug down through various layers, with varying languages in the various layers, until they hit a deeper layer where the language used was Hebrew.
The Syrian government minders stepped in, and said "welp, that's the end of the dig".

I'm skeptical that the diseases had as much of an effect as it's now fashionable to say. Yes, the natives had far less resistance to these diseases than the Euros did. Yes, many died as a result. But the idea that some overwhelming number of natives fell over dead from diseases is -- IMO -- just a modern excuse for why the Euros so easily defeated them.

First, the Army would have had to know blankets would transmit the disease (true, they could have observed that). But then -- who would they get to deliver the consignment of deadly blankets? It would have to be soldiers who had survived the pox themselves. At a given post, they might have been hard to find.

I believe there is a single letter where a militia captain wrote in a letter that they gave two Indian emissaries blankets from their smallpox ward at their fort. The captain says something like, "I hope the blankets have the desired effect."

In the Amazon the agricultural network required a lot of labor and cooperation to maintain, when that network got holes kicked in it, the populations crashed, and major areas were abandoned.
One of the worst part of a novel pandemic is the systemic despair, people try to escape, and abandon the ill to die. This disrupts the economic and social ties which may not recover. The environmental "carrying capacity" for humans is dependent on the tech the culture has. Tech is dependent on cultural ties within the area and networking outside of the local area. If those ties are broken the tech collapses. bits will remain, but the complex network is not, and the carrying capacity of the land is reduced.

Considerable quieting of the Middle East violence and a wave of massive prosperity would be the result.

461 80+ Mk-84s for that strike seems preposterous. The IAF (again, there's a trend of publicly spiking the ball in the end zone, thereby revealing information, that seems imprudent - been happening since a little while after 10/7) posted photos of *4* F-15s they said were responsible for the strike.

Guessing, from memory, that this aircraft can carry 2 Mk-84s at a time. So, 8 bombs from the strike package. Ten repeat sorties, to return/re-arm? Don't think so.

Corsairs on Okinawa at one point would take off, drop their loads shortly after, and immediately return to the airfield (targets were that close). Late friend, who was a USMC ordnance guy, said you could see the drops in some cases from the airfield. This situation was quite different. So maybe my arithmetic is wrong, or something, or Israel used 40 F-15s (improbable) at once. Or the 80+ report is wrong.

462 "You don't hate lazy, uninformed, critical thinking-challenged people, incl. 'conservatives', enough". (that's the idiotic teenage phrase so popular with the "conservative" lightweights online, I believe)

It is more that the GOP in DC and its various state franchises along with Conservative Media TM believe those media myths. Most of the right has ignored the media for years and a lot more are learning that Conservative Media TM is not their friend but controlled by their political enemies as well.

Twitter is rapidly making the Conservative Media TM types controlled by Salem and the Talk Radio chains with blatherers like Hannity extinct.

We had an earlier chance during the blogging era to get rid of the centrally controlled messaging but blew it. Ace and a few other relics are all that remains of the bloggerdom of the 00's.

463 411 One cubic foot of water weighs 62.4 pounds. A cubic yard weighs 560 pounds. Over a quarter-ton.

An uncountable number of cubic yards of water moving say, 10 miles per hour down the bottom of a valley means most everything man-made in the path will be damaged or washed away.

Mother Nature is only rarely kind to humans and their creations.

I think a cubic yard of water would weigh quite a bit more than that. 1 cu. ft. of 62 lbs x 27 = 1674.

Many of those people were more interested in getting rich than changing the country. (To be fair, in 2004 that didn't seem as important as it does now).
