After yesterday's embarrassing outburst at a high-level White House meeting, the Corporate Media hyenas have been slamming the Trump Administration for removing reporter Jim Acosta. The fact that he was behaving like a raving maniac---giving both the American press and public a bad name in front of Kazakhstan's president---notwithstanding.
The Media ignored the achievements made during this meeting. Though it took some searching on the web, we found a Kazakh news outlet in English and added it to our links. The Kazakh media gave an entirely different (i.e. based in reality) perspective on the meeting: highlighting a new era of positive relations between our two countries. During the second half of Obama's term, American trade with Kazakhstan declined by nearly half between 2012 and 2016. The Trump Administration successfully negotiated a bilateral agreement worth $7.5 billion and both countries. Kazakh President Nazarbayev hailed a 'new era' in US-Kazakh relations. Nazarbayev, it should be noted, introduced some of the very same tax reforms as Trump's in Kazakhstan last year.
The above photo---not seen in US news feeds--- is of American trade delegate Ray Washburne and the CEO of Kazakh Invest, Saparbek Tuyakbayev, signing a $3 billion comprehensive trade package for American investment in Kazakhstan. Among the largest investors is General Electric, which has contracted to build at least 300 railroad locomotives there. In exchange, Kazakhstan is purchasing about a hundred Boeing aircraft. In spite of the massive anti-Trump howling of the Liberal Seattle Establishment; this is the third major contract for Boeing that Trump has secured: China and Malaysia agreed to buy hundreds of American-built aircraft in 2017.
In addition, Kazakhstan also lifted some unspecified agricultural embargoes and Trump reciprocated by allowing certain imports.
IWEP, the leading Kazakh economic think-tank reported "For Astana (the Kazakh capitol) Washington is one of the key partners in foreign policy and a major economic investor. As Donald Trump has noted, America regards a strong, sovereign, and independent Kazakhstan as a valuable friend and strategic partner in Central Asia. Our main benefits from interaction with the Americans will be the accumulation of high-tech innovations. The new agreements will allow Kazakhstan to realize digital efficiency in the economy."
Kazakhstan will also chair the UN Security Council. President Trump praised Kazakh efforts in global nuclear weapons control as well as its counterterrorism efforts.
"Upon the advent of the new Administration and Trump's 'America First' agenda, the issue of America's decreasing role in our internal affairs was discussed." the IWEP statement pointedly noted. "However, the meeting between Nazarbayev and Trump indicates that the role of the region's relationship with the US is at a high level."
The two Presidents also signed a bilateral military agreement coordinating efforts between the Pentagon and Kazakh Defense Forces to combat terrorism. Trump also endorsed Kazakhstan's petition to join the International Cybercrime Convention.
So there we have it: the news that the US Media ignored---drown out by Acosta's rampage. All of the above, though, were reported in BNews, the Kazakh English-language service. Not to belittle Kazakhstan here; but it's a sad commentary on the state of the American media when we---literally in this case---have to go to the other side of the planet to get to the truth.
For the second time this week, a high-profile public figure has suffered an embarrassing attack of Trump Derangement Syndrome: this time in the White House itself and in front of a visiting Head-of-State. This incident---which comes shortly after the President passed a routine mental health exam---is also the third time in the last 30 days that a member of the Mainstream Media has cracked up in public.
Jim Acosta, a multimillionaire working for CNN, was among other reporters at a joint White House Press Conference with visiting Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev. According to witnesses, Acosta began shouting over other reporters some incoherent babble about immigration from Norway. The President calmly responded that he welcomed immigrants from everywhere; probably somewhat puzzled since the number of Norwegians illegally in the US is estimated to be less than a dozen people and the topic had nothing whatsover to do with the Press Conference.
The conference then concluded, but Acosta began screaming and flapping his arms frantically, as stunned media personnel from across the world looked on. White House staff promptly escorted the still-raving reporter from the room who allegedly shouted profanity and made obscene gestures in the ante-room.
Acosta then took to Twitter, falsely accusing Trump of censorship. The Press Conference was supposed to hear out the President of Kazakhstan. That country will hold chairmanship of the UN Security Council in 2018. That meeting may have been just a little more newsworthy than the phantoms floating around in Acosta's mind. Not to mention the $7.5 billion trade deal that Trump negotiated with the Kazakh President which will benefit American manufacturing and agriculture.
CNN has instead, however, been reporting the fake news about an opprobrious term Trump allegedly used in a closed-door meeting. In spite of FCC prohibitions against using the term on live television, CNN has said it nearly 200 times during the last week, according to the Media Research Center.
Vice-President and Mrs. Pence are regular churchgoers. This Sunday, they visited the Metropolitan Baptist Church but weren't prepared for what would happen next.
It seems that the pastor, one Maurice Watson, spotted the Vice-President in the congregation and suffered an attack of Trump Derangement Syndrome. As the shocked audience looked on, the Reverend Watson stopped in mid-sermon to fly into anti-Trump tirade.
Watson was nearly apoplectic; and for no reason. The source of his outrage over some alleged remarks Trump made at a meeting---which is now being exposed as a hoax. As for Pence: he wasn't even present at that meeting. But in the paroxysms of a TDS attack, nothing but blind rage---directed at any personal or even symbolic representative of Trump, motivates behavior.
There's no point in reciting here what Watson said: since they were based on fake news, his comments have no relevance to anything worthy of discussion. The Media Hyenas are of course applauding this outbreak of insanity and breach of ecclesiastical decorum. But the real story should have been Pence's dignified and classy reaction. He refused to leave the church and listened respectfully as befitting a Christian in the House of God. Although we have to go to the foreign press to read it; the Vice-President afterwards issued a statement to the effect that he wasn't embarrassed by it and that the man was entitled to his own opinion.
However, we don't think it amiss here to remark that if Pastor Watson is really concerned about degrading minorities, he should visit some of the nearby neighborhoods in Baltimore and Washington and ask himself why he isn't doing much to alleviate the degrading crime, poverty, and drugs rampant in his own backyard.
As of this writing, the Baptist Conventions have yet to issue a statement, but we predict that they soon will. Quite a few Baptists happen to be Trump supporters.
There's been a video going viral on the Manospherian sites lately about Soy-Boys. Apparently, the Red Pills have imbibed the notion that the decline in American masculinity is somehow connected to consuming too many soy products in childhood. Cultures which consume large quantities of soy never produce masculine men, right?
Nonetheless, the Alpha-Boys have taken the idea and run with it. In a gushing review of Soy Boys, Red Pill Cultist Sfcton believes that he has hit upon a revelation. So he informs us that what separates Alphas from Soy-Boys is their capacity for violence. Because again, we all know that spoiled, soft, Snowflakes have no capacity to commit violent acts, right?
The capacity for violence is inherent in men. Civilized men channel that capacity into constructive channels. What actually separates men from thugs is their capacity to control violence. That is, use it in only as a means of self or communal defense. And even then excessive violence---employing more than is necessary to incapacitate the enemy---is morally wrong. This doesn't mean compromising with evil, either. Harry Truman was one of our most devout Christian presidents; yet he had no qualms about using atomic weapons to force the unconditional surrender of Japan and end WW2.
Violence without morality is simply thuggery and terrorism. Sfcton apparently sensed this inconsistency and tries to weave Red Pill Gnosticism into his argument: "Same with turning the other cheek. You cannot turn the other cheek if you lack the capacity for retribution...the worst kinds of chumps church up their b----h status with religious edicts."
This is wrong again. Christ taught his Church that turning the other cheek was an act of Faith---that God would judge. What he and other Red Pills don't understand that turning the other cheek doesn't refer to personal defense at all; but refers to attacks of any kind on the polity of the Church. The entire passage refers to Ecclesiastical Discipline.
In the comments section, Sfcton clarifies further to his applauding disciples: "Sheep always see Christ as the Lamb. Men see Christ as the Lion."
Apparently including John the Baptist, who announced Christ by saying: "Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the world's sin!" Or for that matter, Jesus Himself, who stated: "But because you are not My sheep, you refuse to listen. My sheep listen to My voice: I know them and they follow Me." (St. John x:26-27).
And the Apostle St. Peter had occasion to mention lions: "Your adversary, the Devil, is walking about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, and stand firm in your Faith; knowing that your brothers and sisters throughout the world are undergoing the same suffering." (I St. Pet. v:8-9).
The Red Pills make the same theological error as some Pacifist Christian sects, who proscribe violence under any circumstances. They go to the opposite extreme, though, and make violence a Holy Act of Obligation. The moral approach to violence is a medium between the two, as St. Augustine taught. Thus Sfcton is wrong again when he says: "If you're the kind of guy who has to call 9-1-1 when someone is kicking in your door, you're a b---h." The reason civilized societies have armies and police forces is because (in theory) they are acting under the moral authority of a lawful government. In instances where individuals have to use force independently, there is always an official inquest for the same reason. What you do if someone is kicking in your door is call 9-1-1 first; then prepare yourself to take action only if you have to.
It doesn't make one more of a man to drive a nail with a sledgehammer and then sneer at men who (appropriately) use a tack-hammer. It's the same with violence---it's how and when it's used that makes a man.
Despite a denial from the White House and various Senators, the Corporate Media is still pretending that the President actually made derogatory remarks about conditions in Third World countries. Left-Wing politicians have joined in the booing chorus, because, as we residents of the West Coast all know, Leftist-run cities in no way resemble the Third World. Right? Let's look at a few of these Socialist Workers' Paradises:
Seattle: 'America's Greenest City' ranks tops in rats, roaches, and bedbugs, according to HUD. Wouldn't you like to be shopping here:
Or Portland. Another 'compassionate' Liberal city where nearly a dozen people froze to death on the streets last Winter:
And 'progressive' cities like Sacramento, where you don't find dangerous narco-gangs like the Third World, right?
,
And then there's Oakland, the crime and drug-capital of the West Coast:
San Francisco takes the 's---hole' meme literally. The city actually has to close streets to pedestrians because the human feces and drug paraphernalia have made them impassible. BART escalators routinely break down because they are jammed with human excrement:
Then we come to Santa Barbara, 'The American Riviera'. Home to some of the most aggressive street-bums in the country. Such beautiful beach-fronts:
Los Angeles boasts a district known as 'Murder Alley' in South Central. Parts of this home to the Liberal Hollywood glitterati look indistinguishable from Latin American barrios:
And San Diego, likewise:
And last but not least, Honolulu, which, well, is another pit:
And this is just the West Coast. According to UN statistics, the US ranks 8th in homicides, higher than Pakistan and Colombia. We have the worst drug addiction rates bar none; our abortion and out-of-wedlock birth rates are higher than South American or African nations. Our infant mortality rate is about the same as Cuba and Malaysia---the absolute worst in the developed world.
America's combined rate of functional and complete illiteracy is 43%; unofficial unemployment rates during Obama's second term was estimated at 24%. A higher percentage of Americans live in poverty than citizens of Morocco and Albania do; by the US government's own statistics.
That's the country that the Deep State left for the Trump Administration to clean up. It wouldn't hurt us in the least if the Left-Wing media started worrying a little bit more about the s---holes in our own backyard than they are about making up fake news stories.
So out in the sunny Pacific today, residents of the Hawaiian Islands spent the morning in near panic. While mass-hysteria isn't uncommon in the deep-blue states of the West, this outbreak actually had an underlying reason.
An Emergency Alert was issued around 8 A.M. Hawaiian time which read: "Ballistic Missile threat inbound to Hawaii. Seek immediate shelter. This is not a drill."
This turned out to be a false alarm. But in the fallout (no pun intended) of the whole incident, one question is going unasked:
If this were a real ICBM attack---is that the type of warning that should be considered appropriate? There's no information as to what type of missile to which this referred. They tell us to seek shelter without telling us where to go. Since the great 'progressive' President Carter eliminated Civil Defense programs (except for the state-of-the-art shelter in Washington DC protecting the 'Elites), most Americans have no idea what to do in the event of an atomic attack.
There was a viral video, for example, of some ignoramus hustling his family into a storm-drain. Those underground vaults are death-traps in a real bombing. Not only do they cave in, but high-voltage wires break and so do water mains. Some will also flood with inflammable gas when the gas lines break; or deadly toxic sewer lines break. Never go to a place like that in an emergency---and basements are no better, by the way.
So clearly, we need to rethink emergency responses. Russia, China, Iran, and many other countries have clearly established and upgraded concentration zones for this very problem.
Now the other issue is determining how this false alert happened. The White House stated that it appeared to be a problem at the State level. Michael Kucharek of NORAD stated that his agency was investigating, as did FCC Chair Ajit Pai. Naturally, the Whacko Left-Wing were spreading 'false flag' rumors and media saps like 'comedian' Jim Carrey couldn't wait to bash Trump:
"If we allow this one-man Gomorrah and his corrupt Republican Congress to continue alienating the entire world, we are all headed for suffering beyond all imagination." Carrey pontificated, apparently oblivious to the incalculable damage that Hollywood has done to America's global image.
Some on the Right have speculated that it was really a Deep-State ploy to embarrass Trump. That's certainly a more a plausible theory; but if it's true, the Federal investigation had better hold some people accountable.
As usual, it's best to draw objective lessons from the mishap and not jump into finger-pointing until NORAD and the FCC have determined exactly where the fingers need be pointed.
On a Friday that's seen some actual newsworthy events, the US Corporate Media has been engaging in collective arm-flapping over some allegedly inflammatory remarks the President made during a Senate Conference. With the Fire and Fury expose going the way of the Golden Shower Hoax, the denizens of the Deep State are prowling about like a pack of hyenas looking for some other non-issue to distract public attention from the Administration's achievements.
So going outside the US Media, we note the headlines in the Chinese outlet, The Global Times and read the following: "Trump Denies S------e Countries Remark." That really should be about all we need to hear unless credible sources say otherwise. The Global Times goes to tell us about their sources (emphasis ours):
"Trump made the remarks, people briefed on the meeting told the Washington Post."
And:
"The New York Times later reported the same story, citing sources with direct knowledge of the meeting."
Like Michael Wolff's interviewees, the women whom Trump allegedly groped, the unnamed sources privy to Trump's dealings with Russia; etc.: these are the products of somebody's imagination whispered in some yellow-journalist's ear and palmed off on the public as truth.
The only actual named source to any of this is Senator Richard Durbin, who's no stranger to making bigoted remarks himself and is a notorious liar. Nothing this man ever says should be accepted at face value.
In fact, Durbin's quotes sound suspiciously like they were copied from another Catholic-hating xenophobic bigot like Michael Savage, who references Third World countries in the same language regularly. It wouldn't be surprising in the least if Durbin were secretly a regular listener to the Savage Nation. Savage has the same dislike for immigrants from Catholic countries as Durbin has. He's accused Latin American and Caribbean countries of sending immigrants "to fill Church pews" and "give the Priests more alter-boys to molest." When Melania and Ivanka attended Mass at the Vatican, Savage called the Ceremony "mumbo-jumbo and incense." Durbin---like most 'tolerant' Liberals---feels about the same way. His constituency in Illinois is made up of old-school George Wallace-type Democrats: the types who, during the Civil War, supported the Confederacy because they were keeping Blacks from migrating North.
The bottom line here is: Trump is innocent until proven guilty of said remarks. And he probably never will be proven guilty because he never said them. And as for the Corporate Media: the world's biggest public latrines are their own newsrooms---where the excrement seems to flow and where they wallow on a daily basis.
