‘Fake News’ and Fake Hate

Posted on | December 18, 2016 | Comments Off on ‘Fake News’ and Fake Hate

As if Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) were not busy enough spinning conspiracy theories about Russian hackers and “fake news” stealing the presidential election from Hillary Clinton, they have also found time to slander Republican voters as perpetrators of “hate crimes.” Last week, the ugly truth was revealed about a phony “victim”:

A Muslim student who said she was harassed on the subway by drunken, hate-spewing white men shouting “Donald Trump!” lied to police because she broke her curfew, law enforcement sources said Wednesday.
Yasmin Seweid, 18, joined a growing list of local and national alleged hate-crime victims when she told cops she was taunted Dec. 1 on the No. 6 train by three men who called her a terrorist and tried to snatch her hijab off her head while straphangers did nothing.
But Seweid finally broke down Wednesday and was arrested after she admitted to detectives that it was all a big lie.
“Nothing happened, and there was no victim,” a police source said.
Police sources say Seweid made up the story because she didn’t want to get in trouble for breaking her curfew after being out late drinking with friends.
Her strict, Muslim parents allegedly forced Seweid to shave her head over the incident and were upset that she was dating a Christian, sources said.
The bareheaded Baruch College student, not wearing her hijab, was charged with filing a false report and released after her arraignment early Thursday in Manhattan Criminal Court.

It should not be necessary to say, of course, that Muslims sometimes are victims of prejudice, just as innocent black people sometimes are shot by police, and just as college girls sometimes are raped on campus. Yet the liberal media narrative — in which racism, sexism, and homophobia are presented as crisis-level problems — is a form of political propaganda.

This narrative supports a “social justice” worldview and thereby mobilizes support for the Democrat Party. If all you know about racism is what you get from the liberal media, you must believe (a) non-white Americans live in a state of continual suffering and fear, (b) white people routinely perpetrate violence against racial minorities, and (c) the Republican Party is essentially to blame for this regime of racist oppression. The message of the liberal narrative is simple: “Stop racism — vote Democrat.”

Even when their lies are exposed, dishonest journalists still find a way to spin the story to sustain their propaganda narrative:

A spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, Ibrahim Hooper, said in an interview on Wednesday that Muslims in America were feeling “tremendous psychological stress and pressure” that can result in episodes like this one.
“No one out of the blue decides to make this kind of report,” he said. “Whenever there are these rare instances of alleged false reports — it’s still an allegation at this point — it’s used by the growing Islamophobic community to delegitimize and undermine the many legitimate anti-Muslim incidents.”

You see that the New York Times treats Ibrahim Hooper as a legitimate source, when in fact he is an anti-American hatemonger. Ask yourself, when the New York Times similarly quoted any Republican-leaning source in any such context? Why are the media so devoted to sustaining the narrative that Muslims are always victims of prejudice and oppression, no matter what the actual facts may be? Simply because they believe that this narrative helps advance the Democrat Party agenda.

The suspicious nature of Yasmin Seweid’s story was obvious to anyone. Drunk Trump supporters yelling slurs on a subway in New York City? When 87% of voters in Manhattan County supported Hillary Clinton? Yet even as this fake hate hoax unraveled, it was still treated seriously.

A week after she claimed to have been harassed, Seweid mysteriously disappeared, causing a panic that inspired speculation that she had been kidnapped and possibly killed by those evil Trump guys. Detectives conducted a search for her even while the NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force investigated Seweid’s original claim and, for several days, her story helped drive the media’s Trump-is-Hitler propaganda narrative. Her story was an absolute lie — a deliberate fabrication– that became nationwide news for the simple reason that this was a lie that Democrats desperately wanted Americans to believe.

Yasmin Seweid is a latter-day Tawana Brawley, but most young people have never heard of the Tawana Brawley hoax, nor have most young people heard of the Duke lacrosse rape hoax perpetrated by a criminal named Crystal Mangum with the assistance of a corrupt Democrat district attorney, the faculty of Duke University, and the New York Times, which treated Mangum’s lies as truth. The New York Times so utterly discredited itself in the Duke case that no honest journalists could in good conscience ever work for that publication. However, a sort of selective amnesia prevails in the media, so that every time Democrats begin promoting a new bogus narrative, all the usual journalistic suspects enthusiastically climb aboard the bandwagon to publicize what ever lies are necessary to advance the partisan agenda.

Having organized their coalition on the basis of identity politics, Democrats rely on their media allies to help maintain the perception that America is unfair to women, minorities and gay people, and that constant activism (e.g., protest movements like “Black Lives Matter”) is necessary to prevent those racist, sexist, homophobic Republicans from imposing even worse oppression on the alleged victims of social injustice.

This victimhood narrative is false. We are a nation whose tradition of constitutional freedom provides opportunities unparalleled anywhere in the world, or at any time in human history, to anyone who is willing to work hard to make their own American dream come true. Yet the Democrats cannot win elections by telling the truth about America, and so they must relentlessly slander our country, our people and our traditions.

In the famous words of Jeanne Kirkpatrick, Democrats “always blame America first,” and the liberal media are the crux of this problem. Until journalists stop promoting this phony narrative — a destructive falsehood that is deeply harmful to our nation — there will be a continuing erosion of trust in the mainstream media. Because everyone with two eyes and a brain can see how the Democrat-controlled media is engaged in a campaign of deliberate deceit, the responsibility for this erosion of trust rests upon these partisan operatives pretending to be objective reporters.

The Internet Is Making You Gay

Posted on | December 17, 2016 | 3 Comments

OK, maybe the headline slightly overstates the case — I’ve been on the Internet more than 20 years and am still staunchly heterosexual — but some young people are clearly being influenced in the wrong direction. Having previously reported on “Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria,” yesterday I took a long look at the YouTube “coming out” video genre:

Believe it or not, kids, sex actually did happen before we had YouTube or Facebook. I’m old enough to remember sex before there was even email! Those were the days of primitive analog sex, not like the high-tech stuff you kids are having with your iPhones and Tinder apps. We couldn’t just post a selfie on the Internet and wait for somebody to like it. No, we had to go out into what used to be called “the real world” and meet actual human beings.
The great thing about pre-Internet sex was, it was mostly private. You had to be a real celebrity before anybody cared if you were gay, and it was actually possible to avoid such questions. Instead of having an identity posted on your Internet profile — “demisexual genderqueer, Taurus, INFP, they/them” — you were just a flesh-and-blood human being, and most people you interacted with in your daily life knew almost nothing about you. If you were smart, you tried to keep it that way. This 21st-century confessional culture, where everybody seems to feel a need to publicize everything about themselves — post all the details of your life to Facebook — probably isn’t too smart.
Young people don’t seem to understand that the Internet is forever. Thirty or 40 years from now, their grandkids will be like, “Hey, Grandma, tell us the story about that time you were bisexual on YouTube!” . . .

Read the whole thing at The Patriarch Tree. The problem with many young people is that they have no sense of history, and therefore cannot evaluate their own personal problems in any kind of objective way. Growing up, my study of history gave me a sense of myself as the descendant of pioneers and patriots, who had overcome hardships far more difficult than anything I was likely to face in my own life. Although I had my own poignant adolescent woes — who doesn’t? — it was from knowing history that I obtained an understanding of myself as being situated in a brief window of the great span of time.

“The truth is this: The march of Providence is so slow and our desires so impatient; the work of progress so immense and our means of aiding it so feeble; the life of humanity is so long, that of the individual so brief, that we often see only the ebb of the advancing wave and are thus discouraged. It is history that teaches us to hope.”
— Robert E. Lee, 1870

“To live for the moment is the prevailing passion — to live for yourself, not for your predecessors or posterity. We are fast losing the sense of historical continuity, the sense of belonging to a succession of generations originating in the past and stretching into the future. . . .
“Narcissism emerges as the typical form of character structure in a society that has lost interest in the future.”
— Christopher Lasch, The Culture of Narcissism: American Life in an Age of Diminishing Expectations (1979)

The astute reader instantly intuits the connection here between a loss of historical sensibility, an intensification of narcissism, and the embrace of homosexuality, which usually carries with it the abandonment of hope for posterity. Decadence and despair always go hand-in-hand.

‘Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria’

Posted on | December 15, 2016 | 2 Comments

The Internet is a powerful tool, and evil people have learned to exploit it for dangerous purposes. Last year, I became aware of what seems to be a rapidly spreading phenomenon: Teenagers who, after an intense period of online “research,” suddenly decide they’re transgender. There is a sort of online cult — Web sites, Tumblr blogs, YouTubers, etc. — promoting “gender transition” as the panacea to adolescent angst. Parents describe being shocked at the suddenness with which their children, who had previously been typical teenagers, decide that they must “transition,” demanding hormone treatment, and accusing their parents of “hate” if they do not accept their child’s new “gender identity.” The shocking part is that there is a sort of Transgender-Industrial Complex of psychologists and physicians who are cashing in on this weird trend and, thanks to ObamaCare’s mandates, the costs are being passed on to everybody who pays for health insurance. The teenage transgender phenomenon is, therefore, both a cult and a money-making racket.

Earlier this year, a site called Youth Trans-Critical Professionals began recruiting parents for a survey of “Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria,” and a counselor named Lisa Marchiano has recently published “Guidance for Parents of Teens with Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria.”

If readers know any families dealing with this issue, please pass along this post to let them know (a) they’re not alone, and (b) there are professionals and activists — including many feminists — who are trying to help fight this wicked 21st-century cult phenomenon.
