Misinforming the American Public

I wrote recently of the cut-and-paste "journalism" that I coined for Steve Sailer's style of writing which I discuss in a longer post here: Ethiopia's Independence and Strength.

The very last comment (#58) in Sailer's article Minnesota is Turning into a Front in the Ethiopian Civil War comments section is by:
stephen 🇬🇧
@LFC_blano
Always Loyal ☆ Fortune Favours The Brave ☆
BRITISH AND PROUD
"stephen" has attached a video with his comment:


Of course, besides the non-identification of the statue-destroyers, and the pending investigations by the London police, it is TOTALLY reasonable to associate this vandalism with "Ethiopians" (sarcasm alert).

The language that these vandals are speaking is not Amharic, the official and historical language of Ethiopia, but the regional Oromigna. Thus, clearly and unequivocally, these vandals are Oromo, who, like their counterparts in Addis Ababa, simply wish the destruction of the historical Ethiopia.

Steve Sailer has left this piece of twitter in the comments section of his Oromo article (which I have discussed here), adding to more misinformation for the American public.

This, as I have written before, adds to my gathering of proof that American leaders, left or right, are strategizing toward a subdued Ethiopia.

A strong Ethiopia will be difficult to coerce into the various Middle East policies that America, and I am convinced in conjunction with Israel, is currently developing.

As I wrote in my recent post Ethiopia's Independence and Strength about the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, which is now in its final stages of being filled, a strong and independent Ethiopia is not what these global powers want in northern Africa.

Sailer knows the implications of this, and he left the post and its comments for all to be misinformed.

Post-Trump "Me-Toer" Megyn Kelly



Imagine your journalistic trajectory: Going from interviewing a future president of the United States to staging a "talk show" where you discuss "cozy fashion finds..." under a blanket!

Below is a four-minute segment:



The abrasive and non-photogenic Kelly is plodding through a morning talk show with ample arm movements and chuckles pretending to have a good time. And let's not forget the stilettos and skin-tight dresses.

What would she ask Pres. Trump if he ever came on her show (the likelihood of which - her asking and his accepting - are pretty high)?

It's not that she has forgiven him - she finds any occasion to throw covert jabs at him - but she would want to show him she's risen above her embarrassment and is back on television. And this time where she would have 100% support - by the 99% all-woman audience.

Imagine though going from "news" reporting (and even if some was fake news she got to meet big important people such as heads of states!) to talking about cozy blankets!

Kelly of course brought up her "Me Too" moment on her show on October 23, 2018:
"I know, because I complained...I wrote an email to the co-presidents of Fox News, Bill Shine and Jack Abernethy, an email have never made public but am sharing now because I think it speaks volumes about powerful men and the road blocks one can face in taking them on."
Watch Kelly on her 4 minute confession and group hug, dressed in a somber black dress (a precursor to the Hollywood "Black for Me Too" extravaganza):





Below, Kelly is on her October 23 confessional show as she interviews Juliet Huddy, another Me Too-er who also accused Fox News' Bill O'Reilly.

Both are dressed up for the event with black, but fancy dresses, and the prerequisite super heels.

The poor self-effacing man is attorney Doug Wigdor "handling 22 claims against Fox News" according to Kelly's introduction.



It is incredible that "allegations" becomes a lynching word. Trial without judge or jury! Welcome to the Post Modern Feminist Movement.

Welcome to the Brave New World!

Transgender Them When They're Young


Alexandra DeSanctis debating wth Peter Sterne at Bold TV's Is Trump at War With the Press
(She is Right/Left: He is Left/Right)


I recently posted the article Catch them While They're Young about a story-telling event at the Art Gallery of Mississauga, where a lesbian writer who published a "transgender" book for toddlers was given a weekly slot at the gallery to use the book for story-telling events with toddlers.

And here is an article at the National Review Online today:

Forcing Transgender Ideology on Kindergartens

So far so good (at least with the title). But further down the author - Alexandra Desanctis (brief bio at NRO: "Alexandra DeSanctis is a National Review Institute William F. Buckley Fellow in Political Journalism and a graduate of the University of Notre Dame, where she studied political science, theology, and the Constitution.") - adds this:
The kindergarten teacher did not notify parents of the lesson and ceremony [“transition ceremony” for a gender-dysphoric student in her class, introducing him to other students as a boy before he changed into a dress and announced his new, female name."] in advance; they found out only after their children came home and told them. Many of the students reported being “deeply emotionally bothered and traumatized,” according to Jonathan Keller of California Family Council, a group that has been counseling the families about their rights.
What do they teach in theology classes these days? How about: What is Right and what is Wrong. What is Truth and what is Falsehood? The big questions on morality, which is exactly where "transgenderism" fits.

If the best parents can do is demand their "right" to know what their children are being taught, then how will they explain to little Johnny: "No. You are a boy and can never be a girl." And tell young Mary: "Listen here young lady, you don't change what God gave you."

Of course the problem is clear, and deep. These parents DO NOT believe in gender specification. "You can be whatever you want to be" is what they've grown up with and damned if they wont impart that bit of wisdom, and fight to do so if necessary, to their own cherubs.

And through what lack of moral analysis can a theological writer, who appears to be "con" transgenderism, not realize this?

Trump's Idolaters


[Photoshop By: KPA]

When will serious journalists stop their idolization? Of course idols exist both as positive and negative references.

Those who positively idolize Trump think he can do no wrong (or his errors are someone else's fault, something else's fault).

Those who negatively idolize Trump think everything he does is nefarious and evil.

I am no fan of Trump. I wish he would just go away. I think sane people will actually get rid of him (impeachment, pressurized resignation, etc.). But I don't think he is all that he's made out to be. He somehow got into the limelight (of course he sought it and the presidency may have been a longer plan than the two or three years prior to his election) and people bought it. They made him president, partly because of that modern ailment of idolization, magnified even more because we have lost touch with our true God.

I think think this very likely what will happen. His presence will rejuvenate a new conservative movement, quietly, in the sidelines. Waiting for the right moment. There are many good intelligent responsible people, more alert and wiser.

So here is seasoned and mature journalist Diana West saying this, as a restrained idolater (she has to be, there are too many opinionated people reading her posts):
The Time magazine Trump Jr. cover prompts, however, are very different because there is to date scant more to the entire "red handed scandal hitting home" story. Sure, there are details to be noted (and a whole nest of anti-Trump Russian operatives to explore that Time won’t want to), but these elliptical cover lines go no further than the Trump family smear they recklessly, maliciously create.
Yes the Trump offspring who was caught red-handed conniving with the enemy!

This has been the approach of all "conservative" media, who would rather support their idol, even if some are lukewarm about it.

Are those the only options? Trump or Hillary (or Hillary's stooges, or more precisely her further left field enemies)?

Is that what sophisticated thinkers have come to - this or that and nothing else, or else?

Fascinating.
