Complaint reveals Google employees have zero tolerance for intolerance

Bookworm Room

Damore’s and Gudeman’s lawsuit against Google reveals an Orwellian world in which intolerance = tolerance and intellectual diversity = thought violence.

 . . . "When not writing in character for his novels, Orwell’s essays described what totalitarian “thought leaders” were doing and the consequences flowing from their linguistic manipulation and misleading slogans:

'Political language — and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists — is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.”“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”“Orthodoxy means not thinking — not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness.”

"I won’t belabor the point. You get the drift.

I mention Orwell because Google, a company that has a disproportionate hold on the flow of information in America and that willingly misrepresents and censors information caught in its net, is a company that has achieved Orwellian perfection among its upper echelon employees. This is not guesswork on my part. I know this because I took the time to read the 161-page complaint that James Damore and David Gudeman filed against Google claiming workplace discrimination against them based upon race, gender, and diversity of thought.

. . . 

"The reason it is such a disturbing document is because it’s very clear that a significant majority of Google’s upper management — and it goes without saying that these employees are all products of modern academia — are hard Leftists and vigorous Social Justice Warriors. They subscribe enthusiastically to a world  that uses censorship in the name of “freedom,” “peace,” and “knowledge.”

. . . 

Orwell could not have imagined anything better. Allow me to paraphrase the first highlighted paragraph: “If we’re going to have true diversity and inclusion, then this company must exclude, through firing or discipline [whips? chains? starved dogs?] all people who challenge our diversity.”Altman’s second paragraph does not need to be rephrased. It is the essence of Orwellian purity: “This will send a message that we have zero tolerance for intolerance.” Altman only forgot to add “All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others” and “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength,” to complete the thought.

". . . This is supposed to be a 'wave year' for Democrats. All we are seeing is sludge."

I’ll be interested to see whether any “Manning for Senate” lawn signs pop up in my neighborhood.

With Chelsea Manning, Democrats are scraping bottom in their 2018 lineup

Chelsea Manning is the latest to join this clown cavalcade, filing to run for a seat in the Maryland Senate.

. . . "It's an astonishing development, given the scope of Manning's crimes. While in a position of trust, Manning downloaded 700,000 government secrets and then forked them over to Wikileaks for global distribution, endangering U.S. agents and nullifying countless intelligence operations. He was then caught, sentenced to 35 years in Leavenworth, whined about not liking it, got special treatment in a government-funded sex change, and then received a pardon from President Obama, which he has since used to taunt the last two administrations and America in general, free and unaccountable for his crimes. He took to writing columns for the Guardian and living the celebrity lifestyle, taunting his detractors in Twitter, communicating almost exclusively in emojis." . . .

McCain claims,"The Taliban went after and murdered" people identified in the Chelsea Manning leaks. Politifact disagrees, if you trust them.

Senator Chelsea Manning?  . . . "Manning received a commutation from President Obama. During the trial and sentencing, Manning’s lawyers blamed Manning’s gender dysphoria for leading to his crimes, and in 2016 then-Bradley Manning declared in a commutation application, “I am Chelsea Manning, a proud woman who is transgender and who, through this application, is respectfully requesting a first chance at life.” Since then, Manning has been feted by elite society as a symbol of trans heroism and overcoming hardship.' ”

The President and Naughty Words (Updated)

Leftist Toilet Mouths Condemn Trump as They Corrupt Nation  . . . "As for Trump, his alleged potty-mouth moment was reported by Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL), a scoundrel with a history of lying about White House meetings,according to Daily Wire. But whatever the president said, he said in private. This is far different from Durbin, who introduced the story. It’s far different from ex-California Democratic Party chairman John Burton, who led a “F*** Donald Trump!” chant at California’s Democratic Party convention in Sacramento early last year. And it’s far different from CNN and the rest of the effluent-stream media, which, like an exhibitionist, just revel in the chance to flaunt publicly what excites them privately." . . .  Called "Dick Turban" by some, do not trust what the man says.

Patricia McCarthy simply declares, Dick Durbin is a jerk . . . "Dick Durbin gets away with the murder of facts.  He is a well known liar.  He's lied before about private government meetings.  Jack Hellner lists many of his crimes against the American people here.

"Durbin lied incessantly about Obamacare, as did all the Democrats, and he lies now about immigration.  He is on record opposing chain migration in 2010.  Now whoever opposes it is racist." . . .

Democrats would never lie; just ask Harry Reid: Take a step back: Did Trump really even say the s-word?  . . . "Democrat politicians care no more about low-skill legal immigrants and illegal aliens than they do about inner-city blacks.  So long as they get the votes, Democrats are more than willing to watch the people they supposedly stand up for live horrible lives in miserable conditions." . . .

S***hole S***storm distracts from valid questions on immigration policy
"Seems Democrats would rather talk about Trump’s *alleged* potty mouth than whether expansive immigration from failed or dysfunctional countries is in our interest."

Lindsey Graham Said In 2013 That Not Everyone In ‘Hellholes’ Can Come To U.S.   Video

“The people coming across the southern border live in hellholes,” Graham said. “They don’t like that. They want to come here. Our problem is we can’t have everybody in the world who lives in a hellhole come [into] America. We're just gonna have to create order out of chaos. So, you've gotta do something on the southern border you don't do on the northern border, but if you don't agree that the difference is jobs, then we just don't agree. There are 11 million people coming through the southern border 'cause they come from countries where they can't find work and life is miserable."

Power Line asks, "S***HOLE OR NO S***HOLE?"  . . . "This story is a good illustration of the bizarre times in which we live. Trump made a good point in a private meeting with a small number of legislators. He may have used profanity while doing so, but he wasn’t making a speech. His political enemy, Dick Durbin, then ran to the press to damage Trump by quoting–probably misquoting–his private comments. The press jumped on the story eagerly, assuming Durbin’s account was correct and happily damaging America’s interests, as Democrats and Democratic reporters smugly told us was happening. " . . .

UPDATE: Senators Cotton And Perdue Specifically Say Trump Didn’t Say ‘S**hole Comments, Cotton Calls Durbin A Liar  Video at the link.
"They previously had been quoted as saying they “didn’t recall.” Now, they make it much clearer – they didn’t hear it and they were as close as Durbin. Durbin also lied about chain migration, calling it racist because Trump used the term in the meeting, after he, Durbin had himself used it in the past."

The streets of Iran seem pretty happy with President Trump

Silvio Canto, Jr.   "According to a certain network, it's "s-hole" 24/7.  I am not defending the use of that language.  And the selective indignation is going to backfire on Democrats and some of the folks in the media.

"We did get a report this week that the street in Iran is actually happy with President Trump.  This is from news reports:

They are risking their lives to bring freedom to Iran, and vow to continue their protests.

"These uprisings have just begun.  People are not at all willing to give up," one activist told Fox News from the streets of Iran.

"Their patience has come to an end and they have nothing to lose.  Iran will surely not fall down and people will not retreat from their demands."

The defiance comes as President Trump announced Friday that he is waving sanctions against Iran under the controversial 2015 nuclear deal one last time, and gave the European allies four months to change the terms of the agreement or he may seek to scrap it.

. . . 

The activists predict [that] stronger methods will work, and are thanking the president and the American public for keeping up the pressure.

"We thank you President Trump.  We call on all of the supporters of the people who press this regime from different fronts, to put pressure with you and overthrow with us," the activist told Fox News in broken English.

He and others said they are grateful that the Trump administration is expressing support for the resistance that has been staging many of the protests.  The demonstrations started Dec. 28, and the government claims that they have largely been quelled.

That is why the activists are looking to the United States for inspiration – and more help.

"Inspiration is right, and thankfully, President Trump is talking.

"By the way, I couldn't help but think of the NFL players when reading this article about Iranian protests.  Over there, you have real heroes risking their lives fighting a repressive government.  Over here, we have a clown, who can't play quarterback anymore, talking about injustice."

Letterman-Obama Netflix Interview Gets Negative Reviews: ‘Fawning,’ ‘Lackluster,’ ‘Bland’

Free Beacon

. . . "Letterman, who was a staple of late-night television for 33 years with "Late Night" and then "The Late Show," spoke to Obama for the first episode of a six-part series in which he speaks for an hour with people who he admires.

"The Obama interview, conducted at City College in New York City, touched on his post-presidency, Russian election interference, voting rights, race, family, and more.

"However, Letterman's obsequiousness, Obama's cautious answers—he never directly mentioned Donald Trump—and the fact that the interview was taped last fall made for a tepid viewing experience.

" 'In basically ignoring the ever looming current President of the United States on another s**tstorm of a day, the pre-taped result from last fall was primarily a warm, fuzzy, and sauntering up on dull chat between two well-spoken men who obviously like and respect each other and didn't want to cause each other any possible grief," Deadline‘s Dominic Patten wrote. "This debut episode of ‘My Next Guest' was not scintillating television by any stretch."

"The Washington Post‘s Hank Stuever panned the interview as "flat," criticizing Letterman as too much "in thrall" of his guest. Letterman told Obama at one point that he is the only president who he has ever truly respected.

" 'Both men seem rusty at the art of banter," Stuever wrote. "They're off their game. The interview doesn't produce any surprising or newsworthy statements from Obama." 

The Boston Globe expressed annoyance with the format and said it did "nothing interesting at all.' " . . .
