Historic Church Burned by Right-Wing White Supremacist — just imagine the 24/7 coverage on CNN and MSNBC if that were the headline about the arsonist responsible for this crime. But that’s not the headline, and the media are ignoring it, because it’s a transgender nutjob:

An arson attack that destroyed a 117-year-old church in downtown Portland, Oregon, this week has become a symbol of disorder in the city.
Cameron David Storer, a trans woman also known as “Nicolette Fait,” was arrested following an investigation by the Portland Fire & Rescue Fire Investigations Unit. The 27-year-old is charged with two counts of first-degree arson, one count of second-degree arson, and two counts of second-degree burglary — all felonies.
According to prosecutors, Storer walked into the Multnomah County Detention Center and confessed to setting the church on fire using a lighter.
“Storer stated that they heard voices in their head saying they would ‘mutilate’ Storer if they did not burn the church down and that they had planned it up to one day in advance,” said the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office in a press release. Storer allegedly told investigators she was taking oxycodone and had a history of mental illness.
Fire crews responded to sky-high flames that had consumed the historic Portland Korean Church in downtown around 5:30 p.m. Jan. 3. The Protestant church was built in 1905 and was previously known as the First German Evangelical Church. The church had remained unused for a number of years after its congregation moved to a suburb. . . .
The suspect was arraigned on Thursday afternoon and prosecutors asked that Storer be denied bail. Storer did not appear to enter a plea, according to court documents.
Storer’s last address is in Rhode Island, where the landlord has an open eviction case against her.

Ladies and gentlemen, your weekend safety briefing courtesy of Ralts Bloodthorne:

Don’t beat your kids, spouse, significant other, pets, or random people. Don’t buy, sell, manufacture, transport, or take illegal drugs. Don’t run from the cops, they hate that. Always ask for a lawyer. Run toward the screams if you can help. Don’t believe Priscilla the Green Fairy, she lies. Midgets don’t grant wishes if you catch them. Don’t drink and drive. Don’t touch Willy, he likes that. Try to stay out of jail but if you can’t, make sure it’s for a good reason.
Take care of yourselves. You’re the only you that you’ve got. Take care of each other when you can.
Look at yourself in the mirror and smile at yourself. It’s OK if you’re ugly. I’m ugly, and that ain’t no crime. Give yourself a hug. Smile at strangers, it might brighten their day.
Above all, keep on going. One more step, one more punch, one more day.

Usual weekend deadlines for the usual weekend posts.

GOOD NEWS from Chicago!

Posted on | January 5, 2023 | Comments Off on GOOD NEWS from Chicago!

Given the unrelenting grimness of the city’s crime wave — 735 people were murdered in Chicago last year, and another 2,937 were wounded by gunfire — it’s not often we hear anything positive, hopeful and uplifting from Cook County, but here’s a reason to smile:

A carjacker was killed in the Loop on Thursday evening when the victim fought back, accelerated her car, and slammed into a beam that supports the L tracks, Chicago police said. The Cook County medical examiner’s office identified the deceased man as 18-year-old Elijah Treadwell of Uptown.
Treadwell and a 16-year-old female accomplice entered an Infiniti FX35 in the 100 block of East Lake and tried to carjack a woman around 5:42 p.m., officials said. A struggle ensued, and the victim’s car accelerated into the L support column near Wabash Avenue, trapping the victim and both offenders inside, police said.
Chicago Fire Department workers extracted everyone and took them to hospitals. Treadwell was pronounced dead at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. The female and the victim have both been stabilized, according to the fire department.

Twitter Files Reveal Hillary Clinton — Of Course! — Was Behind Censorship Push

Posted on | January 5, 2023 | Comments Off on Twitter Files Reveal Hillary Clinton — Of Course! — Was Behind Censorship Push

The major media have deliberately ignored the revelations about Twitter censorship that have been drip, drip, dripping out the past few weeks in a series called the #TwitterFiles because, of course, the media fully endorsed the censorship regime that existed before Elon Musk bought the company. If you’re in the business of selling a particular narrative — a generally pro-Democrat “progressive” view of the world — then it is in your interest to shut down competing voices that provide information contradicting that narrative. This is why so many “journalists” endorse advertising boycotts against talk radio, Fox News, etc. The mainstream media are losing their audience — does anyone watch CNN anymore? — because nobody trusts them, and so the only way they can stay in business is to try to silence alternative media. Anyway . . .

In Tuesday’s #TwitterFiles dump, Matt Taibbi went through the story behind how it was that Twitter ended up acting as a de facto arm of the U.S. intelligence community, bombarded by requests from the FBI, CIA, DHS to delete thousands of accounts. The pretext for this censorship was “foreign interference” — RUSSIA! RUSSIA! RUSSIA! — and it was driven by Democratic politicians, including Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, who was then the ranking member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, and California Rep. Adam Schiff. Remember that this was the excuse Hillary Clinton offered for her 2016 defeat, that Russia somehow “hacked” the election, and this excuse (supported by the phony Steele dossier) became the justification for a special counsel investigation of “Russian collusion” claims that ultimately found no evidence. Have you forgotten all those TV talking heads claiming that “the walls are closing in” on Trump because of Mueller? And then . . . nothing? So this was the environment in October 2017 when Politico published a story with the headline, “Twitter deleted data potentially crucial to Russia probes”:

Federal investigators now believe Twitter was one of Russia’s most potent weapons in its efforts to promote Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton, the officials say, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
By creating and deploying armies of automated bots, fake users, catchy hashtags and bogus ad campaigns, unidentified operatives launched recurring waves of pro-Trump and anti-Clinton story lines via Twitter that were either false or greatly exaggerated, the officials said. Many U.S. investigators believe that their best hope for identifying who was behind these operations, how they collaborated with one another and their suspected links to the Kremlin lies buried within the mountains of data accumulated in recent years by Twitter.

Who were these “federal investigators” talking anonymously to Politico? And could someone please find a clear example — never mind “recurring waves,” I’ll settle for one example — of these “story lines” that were supposedly boosted on Twitter by Kremlin bots? But we are supposed to believe that Russian “armies of automated bots” somehow caused Hillary to lose the 2016 election, and never mind the question of how Twitter could have such enormous political impact, where is the evidence that these bots had any real impact even as measured by Twitter clicks?

Day-drinking Hillary, on her third glass of chablis by lunch, may think “armies of automated bots” cheated her out of the White House, but no sober person who knows anything about how social media works could possibly belief such a preposterous claim. How many followers did these Kremlin bots have? How many persuadable “swing” voters did they reach with their “catchy hashtags” and “story lines”? This is all childish make-believe, and as for the idea that “federal investigators” would be wasting time chasing such fictitious bogeymen — did the editors at Politico really take this seriously? Are they day-drinking, too?

Matt Taibbi explains how and when this snipe-hunt got started:

Twitter through the end of August, 2017 was on nobody’s radar as a key actor in the Trump-Russia “foreign influence” scandal.
By the second week in October — six weeks later — the company was being raked over the coals in the press as “one of Russia’s most potent weapons in its efforts to promote Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton,” with Clinton herself adding:
“It’s time for Twitter to stop dragging its heels and live up to the fact that its platform is being used as a tool for cyber-warfare.”
What happened in those six weeks? Answering that question is a key to understanding the content moderation phenomenon. In this period, crucial in the company’s history, a pattern was established. Threats from Congress came first, then a rush of bad headlines (inspired by leaks from congressional committees), and finally a series of moderation demands coming from the outside. Once the company acceded, the cycle repeated.
The documents lay out the scheme. You can see how the Russian cyber-threat was essentially conjured into being, with political and media pressure serving as the engine inflating something Twitter believed was negligible and uncoordinated to massive dimensions.

Among other things, Hillary had just published her campaign memoir, What Happened, in which she (or her ghostwriter) regurgitated these nonsense claims about Russians using Twitter and Facebook to steal the election from her. To promote the book, Hillary went on a nationwide tour and gave numerous media interviews, repeating her claims of “Russian interference,” and Democrats on Capitol Hill were only too happy to jump onto this publicity bandwagon.

Anyway, in 2011, Twitter hired as its vice president of global policy a well-connected Democrat named Colin Crowell, who had been a congressional staffer for Rep. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and is married to the daughter of late Sen. Harris Wofford (D-Pa.). When Democrats on Capitol Hill started making noise about Twitter, Crowell met with them, and produced a memo about the meeting for Twitter executives:

“Democrats also taking cues from Hillary Clinton, who in her ‘What Happened’ book tour is pointedly talking about role of Russian propaganda and dirty tricks that were pushed through social media had in her demise. She has specificially called out [Facebook] ‘and other social media’ for not doing enough to address state-sponsored mischief in the election.”
— Colin Crowell to Jack Dorsey, Sept. 29, 2017

It could not possibly be any clearer. Crowell, whose credentials as a Democratic Party operative are impeccable, had no reason to lie to his boss about this. The whole story of how Twitter became a censorship agent of the federal government, paid more than $3 million for its services in such matters, begins with Hillary’s tactic of blaming Russia — RUSSIA! RUSSIA! RUSSIA! — for her 2016 defeat.

And yet Democrats accuse us of believing “conspiracy theories”!
