When we last heard from the folks over at Project Veritas, they had just finished exposing the Clinton Machine's corrupt tactics. That good work led to the downfall of a duo of particularly rotten Deep-State henchmen, Bob Creamer and James Foval. Their latest project is an expose of Corporate Media fake-news outlet, CNN.
CNN was already in trouble when the results of the investigation emerged. They had to fire Kathy Griffin and Reza Aslan after their anti-Trump outbursts outraged even CNN's low standards. Then, they had to confess to lying after being threatened with a $100 million libel suit over a fake anti-Russia story. Two executives and a Pulitzer-Pride nominated 'journalist' were forced to resign.
Indeed, what Project Veritas has revealed are even further confessions that most of CNN's anti-Russian propaganda are simply lies; not only designed to undermine the Trump Administration, but to boost CNN's stock-margins and to ingratiate themselves with their Deep-State masters. Most of these revelations have been ably analyzed on other sites. What really stood out to us was not so much the bias, lying, and corruption: Project Veritas merely confirmed what we'd already suspected in that regard. What was truly shocking was the overt cynicism and outright boasting about these crimes displayed by CNN personnel.
"It's a business." Producer John Bonifield, of CNN Health News chortled, "People think like 'the media has this ethical position'. All this nice, cutesy little ethics that they talk about in Journalism School. That's like very nice, very adorable, but it's a business...the crux of the matter is that the Trump-Russia Story sells."
Bonifield is the executive selecting what stories CNN broadcasts relating to issues like healthcare. And he laughs in his sleeve over the whole idea of 'ethics' in journalism. Even more contemptuous of the intelligence of the audience, Associate Producer Jimmy Carr assured interviews that while CNN executives were smart enough to see through Trump, the average American is "stupider than s--t."
Let's be candid here and admit that since the New Deal Era, the American Media has leaned strongly to the Democratic Party. (It leaned strongly Republican from the Civil War until FDR). But what we're hearing from CNN isn't political bias. CNN and institutions like it are running an outright Confidence Racket. CNN can whitewash it any way they want to, but this is exactly what con-men do: fabricate information, pitch their narrative to people they consider chumps, and then rake in the cash.
DNC apparatchik turned CNN 'analyst' Van Jones even laughingly referred to the Russian story as 'a big nothing-burger'; an American slang term for a swindle.
Project Veritas promises some upcoming releases. The bottom line here though is that CNN needs to shape up or it's game over for them. Time-Warner's stockholders and directors can start by removing CEO Jeff Zucker. Zucker was previously the CEO of NBC which was also plagued by fake news scandals during his tenure. His mismanagement of NBC led to such losses that the network had to be sold, though Zucker himself walked away with a $40 million severance package. Even Liberal Feminist Maureen Dowd characterized Zucker as an archetypical Wall Street Robber-Baron with no media skills but a talent for maximizing his own profit-margins.
The fact is that this should be a major wake-up call for the Mainstream Media. Instead of incessantly attacking Trump, they had better start draining some swamps of their own.
This morning, while the Corporate Media and denizens of the Deep State were busily foaming and frothing because Trump actually replied to one of their repeated insults, American farmers were celebrating. The US Department of Agriculture and the Department of Commerce announced that they had reached an agreement with Mexico; ending a long-standing stalemate on sugar import regulations.
Mexico's sugar industry is heavily subsidized and protected by the Mexican Government. Under NAFTA regulations, imported sugar prices were fixed at rates competitive with US production. Shady contractors on both sides of the border, however, were selling Mexican surpluses in violation of the agreement. The prices undercut American refineries in particular and cost US producers an estimated $4 billion per year.
The Mexican Government agreed to a price increase of 1/2 cent per pound, but most significantly agreed to limit its exports of refined sugar to 30% of the total shipped abroad. They also agreed to greater latitude in American regulation of import quotas. The illegal trade in sugar has also harmed Mexico, keeping the prices artificially high and causing the introduction of High Fructose Corn Syrup (for many years banned in Mexico) into their markets. Mexican health and agricultural officials would like to see HFCS replaced by sugar again.
In the US, sugar-beets account for 55% of production and cane and sorghum making up the remainder. Sugar farmers and producers are optimistic that the Trump Administration will bring about a badly-needed revival of the US Sugar Industry. Phillip Hayes of the American Sugar Alliance said that the Trump Administration is "100% committed to ending the job loss and injury caused by predatory trade practices."
The howls of anger predictably came from the Agribusiness Cartels, who have been buying foreign refined sugar at the cheapest possible price then gouging consumers for as much as the market could bear. The hypocrites even accused Trump officials of practicing 'crony capitalism'. It should be noted, however, that the Obama Administration was aware of the problem since 2013 and did nothing; while the Trump Administration resolved the issue in America's favor in less than 6 months.
Not content to do the Radical Left's work for them by undermining Oath Keepers, the phonies on the Alt-Right have stooped even lower than Antifa by doxxing their members. Vox Day, the ringleader of the Red Pill attack on Oath Keepers (of which we wrote yesterday), publicized the name, hometown, birthplace, and department of a Black policeman to be subjected to harassment.
After Vox unleashed a troll storm on Oath Keepers yesterday, he ridiculed them as being "unable to take criticism" and called them cowards. Today, he had a near nervous breakdown because an Oath Keeper had dared Vox to spout his racialist insults to his face. The cowardly Vox immediately responded by doxxing the author of the comment---something he's had a long history of doing to others.
The Oath Keeper in question worked as a police officer in Indianapolis for 11 years---a city with a violent crime rate four times higher than the national average. He's worked in Montana since 2015. Quite a contrast from a punk who hides out in Europe and incites others to do his fighting for him.
As for Vox himself, as he says among the comments:
"Anyone who believes that tactics are definitive and objectives are irrelevant is retarded." In other words, the Marxist notion that the ends justify the means; the whole concept upon which Political Correctness is based. In reality, objectives and tactics are inter-related. An ideology based in truth doesn't employ the same tactics as ideologies based in falsehoods because truth is power.
"I am not a free speech advocate." he further spouts off, displaying his true colors once again, "I advocate silencing everyone who advocates social justice."
This is why Conservative leaders need to denounce these people with the same vigor that we denounce the Left. These are not pro-Americans; in fact, many of their leaders live outside the US and others here are financed and supported by foreign interests. The Alt-Right is not a Nativist movement and never has been. They are no more representative of Americanism than Soros-funded front-groups on the Left. Both attract the scum of society; the disaffected and alienated and use them for their own purposes.
Oath Keepers, in contrast, states on its Membership application form: "Become part of a nationwide network of dedicated patriots, including many recent combat veterans and veteran street cops who are sincere Peace Officers and together we will spread the message about loyalty to the Constitution under our oaths; and help our communities become united, strong, and prepared." The Oath Keepers only accept current and former military or first-responder personnel as Regular Members, although there are membership plans available for other supporters.

During the last few months, the ringleaders of the Alt-Right Red Pill Cult have been attacking Conservatism and Christianity with as much vigor as the Radical Left. These guys have denounced Buckleyites, The National Review, Red State, the Vatican, and the Southern Baptist Convention as "SJW converged" that is, co-opted by the Left.
So now Vox Day has decided that Oath Keepers is not sufficiently ideologically pure. Oath Keepers are something like an updated version of the old Posse Comitatus groups of the 1960s and 1970s; except that Oath Keepers' membership is more or less restricted to current and former military and police-related personnel. The Oath Keepers get their name from a vow each member takes upon joining requiring them to disobey any unconstitutional order given them by a superior. The group has about 30,000 members and is fairly intersectional as to its demographics. They often network with other activist groups which have similar goals.
Vox has been having an online tantrum all day after an Oath Keeper posted a great story about how his 12 year-old adopted son chased away a gang of adult Red Pill bullies. The commentary following was supportive of the family; denouncing the Red Pills for the punks that they are; and saying negative things about anti-Semites and Supremacists in general. The Oath Keepers understand that the Constitution exists to protect everyone; not just those special interests on the political fringes.
Predictably, Vox turned his minions and trolls loose on the Oath Keeper who posted this story; sneering about 'Oathcucks' and complaining that the moderators are actually trying to keep civil debate on their own forum.
"The Oath Keepers are intellectual, moral and physical cowards." Vox boasts, "Frightened little b-----s who can't stand up to debate and criticism, let alone open derision. And these cowardly losers are going to stand up to the might of the US government when it orders them around?"
So says a cowardly loser who hides behind a keyboard in Europe and tells Americans how to behave. Vox, though, accuses the Oath Keepers of cowardice---as he previously did the Southern Baptists---because "they are afraid that someone will call them Racists."
This is how the convoluted logic of the Red Pill fanatic works, To these people, their cult simply is. Nobody can oppose or even disagree with them as a matter of principle; they must have evil motives.
Here is a part of the story that appeared on the Oath Keepers' site. Judge for yourselves who the real cowards are:
"We had stopped at a Dairy Queen for a Blizzard after church. I saw a trio of burly young men in Trump Hats at a corner table...To cut a long story short, these ruffians rapidly took an unwelcome interest in me and my son, nudging each other, looking in our direction, and whispering among themselves. I should note that my son is Eritrean; we adopted him through our church.
"Then these miscreants began making hooting noises and laughing!...I turned to them and said, 'Do you gentlemen have a problem?' 'Yeah,' replied one in a Pepe-the-Frog shirt, 'We don't want your kind in here! Take your kid back home to Iraq; we hate race-traitors like you! This is Trump country now.'"
It was at this point that the man's son suddenly spoke up and had the manhood to assert his rights. The Red Pills were forced to slink away in shame under the jeers and derision of the DQ patrons and staff. Wouldn't any father be proud of a son like that?
The US Corporate Media has become one enormous Troll Factory. They will go out of their ways to spread lies and distractions to the point that they are better ignored than taken seriously about anything.
This weekend, between their adulations over Homo Pride displays, the Corporate Media indignantly attacked President Trump for not celebrating a Ramadan feast at the White House. It was quite a commentary on the state of our society: a bunch of angry non-Moslems complaining that a non-Moslem president didn't celebrate a Moslem holiday; but this is what passes for an important national issue in the Prozac Nation.
The fake-news outlets, however, spun the story two different ways. According to one lie, Trump broke a 200 year-old tradition; the more discreet Media liars simply called it "a decades-old tradition." Now for the facts.
Lie #1 is based on an obscure incident that happened in 1805. President Thomas Jefferson had a Ramadan meal prepared at the White House so as not to offend a visiting Arab prince. Jefferson and the Prince were negotiating an important Anti-Piracy Treaty that had led to actual armed conflict between the US and some North African principalities. This was a one-time event and hardly a 'tradition'. Common sense alone tells us that some of our more devout Christian presidents never celebrated Ramadan.
Lie #2 is more like a strong prevarication---one thing that the Media is especially good at doing. Trump technically did "break a decades-long tradition". Two decades, to be exact. The jolly duo of Bill and Hilary Clinton, with Al Gore in tow, started up this inclusive initiative shortly after the 1996 Election. The RINOs in the Bush Administration kept it going as a cynical public-relations ploy to dispel rumors that they hated Moslems. Obama, naturally, was eager to keep the 'tradition' alive.
So much for another Media myth. Actually what Trump did was restore a tradition of not celebrating Islamic holidays in the White House. Isn't it interesting that the same Media who howls about public Christian displays are offended by the lack of Moslem ones? But this is what one would expect from people whose spiritual guides do things like portraying Christ as a homosexual and practicing cannibalism. If "by the fruits ye shall know them", I think that we're all safer following President Trump.
The American Pacific Coast is experiencing a heat wave that began around Thursday and is expected to last until Wednesday. It isn't as though the Coast hasn't gotten hot during the Summer before; but in recent years, weather anomalies are causes for mass hysteria.
Today in the Prozac Nation, Americans feel entitled to good weather. It isn't fair that it sometimes rains during parades; it's too hot or cold outside; or it snows and freezes where it shouldn't. And as paranoia generally goes hand-in-hand with an Entitlement Mentality, (and drug abuse) someone has to be held accountable for bad weather.
There are two main conspiracy theories for weather-victims. One theory holds that climate change is caused by industrialization. Proof of this is that the polar regions have been going through a prolonged warm spell. The other holds that the Elites are causing climate change through weather-modification technologies. Proof of this is that jet aircraft have been observed in the skies leaving condensation trails shortly before a weather event.
(Note: the proper name for this aerial phenomenon is contrail; not chemtrail as is in popular culture. Contrail is old Air Force slang for hot jet fuel exhaust meeting cold atmosphere temperatures and condensing into a cloud. Chemtrail is a neologism coined by those who hold that these trails are chemicals being dispersed from aircraft).
This obsession Americans have with the weather is a fairly recent phenomenon, in spite of the fact that earlier cultures were much more affected by weather changes than we are. In the past, though, instead of playing the victim card, Americans thought up inventions to cope with adverse environmental conditions. In the days before American schoolchildren were taught to despise dead white males, we were taught that Benjamin Franklin saved untold millions in lives and property by inventing the lightning-rod. We used to build dams, canals, and levees to control floods and droughts; technologies helped us control wildfires and new safety features protected us from storms and blizzards.
But today, our infrastructure is in a state of collapse. It's a lot easier for politicians to 'fight global warming' by raising taxes and funneling the cash into bogus front-groups than it is to do useful things like improving infrastructure. Today, China, Israel, and Germany have been the leaders in infrastructure technologies. American infrastructure technology is centered on LGBTQ-friendly toilets and producing better strains of marijuana.
All this weather-hysteria is distraction: designed to profit interest groups while diverting Ameroboob attention from demanding solutions to weather-phenomenon that actually work. The interest-groups riot in the loot and laugh up their sleeves while other countries deal with the problems. But such is our Enlightened Exceptionalism that we pay no attention to any of this, because our culture rewards victims; scientists, not so much.
Male Supremacy is a central teaching of the Red Pill Cult. Like the Radical Feminists, they deny gender polarity---the fact that men and women are equal in the sense that they are complimentary to one another. To support these theories, the Red Pills extract various verses of Scripture to give plausible authority to their blasphemies. They reject any contrary opinions as heresy.
Dalrock, one of the ringleaders of the cult, holds the extremist position that women are denied any authority in spiritual guidance to the point where counseling women in domestic violence situations is forbidden. In his most recent article, Dalrock ridicules some other pastors who've tried to solve a particular conundrum: how do a few bits of Scripture that argue against female spirituality balance against so much of the Bible that depicts very spiritual women---many of whom were teachers?
The answer, as always, is context. There is no contradiction in Scripture; only in how it is interpreted. One of Dalrock's favorite verses is from St. Paul's 1st Epistle to the Corinthians, which reads (in the original Greek): "In your assemblies, let the women be silent; for it is not allowed for them to speak, but to be in subjection as the {Mosaic} Law also says. But if they wish to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is a shame to let women speak in the assembly." (xiv:34-35)
If we examine the passages immediately preceding and those following these verses, we see that St. Paul was discussing the spiritual Gift of Prophesy, and abuses of it going on in the Corinthian Church. He was asking that the women not interfere with the proceedings but to clarify their questions in private, so not as to disrupt the assembly. The entire text of the Epistle deals with a Church where authority has broken down, and the passage must be understood in that light.
Dalrock's second favorite obsession is with a verse from the First Epistle to St. Timothy. Here St. Paul explains that women are not allowed to teach, but to be in subjection to male authority. The point that Dalrock misses is that St. Paul and St. Timothy were both bishops and that this passage had to do with the ecclesiastical hierarchy. Women were not allowed to hold positions of 'teaching'---that is, in this case, fulfilling the functions of priest, bishop, cardinal, pope, etc.
An Anonymous writer expressed it beautifully this way: "The absolute difference between the genders is in the giving of Life. By natural law, only women can give physical life by serving as mothers. By supernatural law, only men can give spiritual life to the faithful by serving as priests...Mary displayed the fullest extent of maternal calling by becoming the Mother of Christ, who is God, while Christ displayed the highest extent of priestly calling by becoming our High Priest before the Father."
What a contrast to the repulsive teachings of the Red Pills, who instead bend Scriptures to fit the 'Game' philosophy, wherein force and fraud rule over all. They reject any notions of Complimentarianism---although the Scriptures clearly teach that instead of their heathenish idolatry of the Alpha Uebermensch.
The 2nd Epistle of St. John and various passages from the Acts of the Apostles make it clear that convents, and female teaching orders existed in Apostolic times---by the very men who learned from Christ Himself. When in 1st Timothy, St. Paul mentions that "women will be saved in childbearing" this includes things like teaching and nurturing children. Mother Teresa for example, 'bore children' not literally, but spiritually.
So once again, Dalrock and his disciples make fools of themselves, because any of the stereotypical nuns with a twelve-inch ruler understand women's roles in the Church far better than any of the Gamers do.
