Fifty Years of Deep State Propaganda

Conrad Black

"Not only does Richard Nixon deserve a sober reevaluation, but some of his more vocal critics deserve a sober second look as well."

"As the 50th anniversary of the 1972 election approaches, it is time to reconsider the Watergate controversy that preceded and ultimately partially undid it. I’ve just completed a review for the New Criterion of Michael Dobbs’ new book about Watergate, King Richard. The book repeats endlessly, without any attempt at substantiation, that the Nixon presidency came apart and was righteously legally assaulted because of the infamous “cover-up” consisting mainly in the “hush money” Nixon authorized to be paid to Watergate defendants in order to “keep them quiet.” Once again, and as always, not one whit of evidence was presented in support of the argument that Nixon authorized these payments for any such purpose. It has passed into the universal history of the modern world that he did, but he always denied it. So did some of the defendants, and an exhaustive examination of the very extensive tapes and documents permits a different interpretation.

"To the end of his life, Nixon claimed that he authorized the payments in order to assist the defendants in paying their legal bills and taking care of their families. This was particularly urgent in the case of Howard Hunt, whose wife died in an airplane crash shortly after the Watergate affair began. Nixon foresaw the zeal of hostile prosecutors and he knew that any jury in the District of Columbia would be hostile to Republicans. Moreover, as an experienced lawyer, he certainly knew that any large payments to groups of defendants obviously in exchange for silence or false testimony would be an open-and-shut case of obstruction of justice, and would qualify as a high crime justifying his impeachment, removal as president, and subsequent criminal prosecution. Yet this allegation is the core both of the impeachment charge against Nixon in 1974 and of the popularly accepted and endlessly repeated Watergate saga.

"It is certainly time that Richard Nixon received balanced historical treatment. He must, of course, take principal responsibility for the disgrace and embarrassment of Watergate;" . . . 

Return to mask theater

 Return to mask theater   . . . "It's past time for us to remind our elected officials, especially those on the left, that they work for us, and they aren't are rulers, much to the dismay of the current crop of Democrats.  Americans are rightfully outraged at this scare tactic that has been overplayed and shows no end, nor goalposts that signal our victory."

Rich Terrell

The CDC uses discredited, inapplicable authority to back its new mask guidelines

"This will not be an anti-vaccine post.  It will, however, be an attack against the CDC for using discredited and inapplicable authority to justify its latest mask and vaccine guidelines and for ignoring credible opposing authority.  I'll also take a stab at answering why all this craziness is coming from the Biden administration.  I've got two theories (one of which I discredit), so stick around for them.

"First, the Biden administration, having said all Veterans' Affairs employees must be vaccinated, will soon announce that all federal employees must be vaccinated or lose their jobs; that children should wear masks all day in school; and that everyone else should wear masks, too, whether they're vaccinated or not.  All those orders and guidelines are ludicrous, and they're ludicrous for multiple reasons." . . .

Awkward COVID questions for Jennifer Psaki and other administration mouthpieces  "Why do the media and the White House always lie and blame low vaccination rates for the increase in cases when counties in California with low vaccination rates are doing better than counties with high vaccination rates?

"Why do they lie and blame Trump voters for not being vaccinated when there are people of all races and political parties who aren't getting vaccinated? 

"Why are they giving V.A. workers eight more weeks to get the vaccine?  Why have so many health care workers and other federal workers not received it yet, since they have had plenty of access?

"Why won't Jennifer Psaki say how many people at the White House haven't been vaccinated?  Shouldn't they require the vaccine for themselves before they require anyone else to get the vaccine?  They clearly don't want the public to know the answer." . . .

The Vaccine Karens

This abject refusal to acknowledge the existence of natural immunity proves that the vaccine Karens don't care about the health of their fellow human beings. They just want to boss us around.

  Ann Coulter  "If I weren't already staunchly pro-vaccination, the vaccine zealots would turn me against the COVID shot. The proof that they're practicing religion and not science is their refusal to acowledge the great heaping hunks of immunity a person gets from natural infection.

"Obviously, you don't want to contract COVID just to get all that boffo immunity, but lots of people have already been infected, so why can't we count them the same as vaccinated?

"The current research -- and that's all we have for the vaccines, too -- indicates that natural immunity is not as good as vaccine immunity -- it's better! Study after study keeps finding that the previously infected have stronger, broader and longer-lasting immunity than people who've received the vaccine." . . .

. . . "This isn't just a matter of policy not catching up to the science. The vaccine Karens positively disdain the previously infected. Instead of being treated like the superhumans that they are, recovered COVID patients are scorned, treated like smokers or AIDS victims. (No, sorry -- the latter were revered as "angels.") We're simultaneously told that COVID is WILDLY contagious and ... it's your own damn fault for not wearing a mask, socially distancing or getting a vaccine.

"The dismissal of people who've developed their own antibodies springs from the same totalitarian mindset of gun control activists: You cannot protect yourself! Your body cannot protect you! Only the government can protect you. Or, as Mussolini said: "Everything in the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State.' " . . .

The Numbers Don’t Support Scapegoating the Unvaccinated  . . . "As I mentioned in a recent article, Israel, one of the most vaccinated countries in the world, is a good indicator of how the vaccine is working. A few weeks ago it was reported in The Times of Israel that 60 percent of those vaccinated had not contracted COVID, a startlingly low rate considering the vaccine has only been in effect for a few months. However, the latest data out of Israel is even worse, for now that number has dropped to 39 percent, though the vaccine is 91 percent effective at preventing severe cases of COVID. The vaccine’s benefits also appear to be very short-lived."

Olympics Ratings Expected to Crash, Research Suggests 'Woke' Athletes Partly to Blame

 Neon Nettle

Global sporting event dominated by far-left protests

"The Olympics Games currently taking place in Tokyo, Japan, is heading for a major ratings crash, accoridng to the latest research.

"According to marketing research firm Zeta Global, "woke" athletes competing in the games are partly responsible for the anticipated plummeting viewership numbers.

"Zeta Global polled Americans about the Tokyo Olympics and discovered that a large majority is not excited to watch the games this year.

“ 'More than 60% of Americans were unable to express excitement or interest in the summer games, and at least 45% of Americans confirmed they are NOT looking forward to the games in any capacity,” the research found.

"The data led the firm to predict this year’s games, the 2020 Olympics, will be the lowest-watched of the 21st century." . . .

New blog: "Off The Press"

OffThePress.com  "The mission of OffThePress.com is to highlight the news and stories being neglected and ignored by the mainstream press. Blatant bias in the mainstream media has created an environment where Americans no longer have confidence in the reporting they see on TV and read in newspapers. This creates a dangerous situation where people can no longer trust reported facts on everything from health and science to policy and elections. Some say the solution to this problem is to create more fact-checkers and institute censorship, but at OffThePress we think the answer is to expand the number and variety of voices people have the ability to read and hear.

Capitol Police Officer Testifies To The Racism He Faced During The Jan. 6 Riot – His Linkedin Profile Picture Reveals That He Is Just Another Political Actor

 

USA Supreme . . . "Fox News host Tucker Carlson had previously predicted that the committee would have Dunn testify and called out the officer’s radical activism. “Dunn will pretend to speak for the country’s law enforcement community, but it turns out Dunn has very little in common with your average person. Dunn is an angry, left wing political activist whose social media feeds are full of praise, not coincidentally for Nancy Pelosi.”

"Carlson then showed a picture of the two of them together and began citing Dunn’s tweets. “‘Racism is so American,’ Harry Dunn wrote in one post, ‘that when you protest people think you are protesting America,’ #leaveittowhitestotellblackswhatisracist #IstandwithIlhanOmar #squad. Harry Dunn, ladies and gentlemen, just another fact-based witness to the incident.' ”

GOP Lawmaker Sounds Off, Says Biden Border Policy Aims To Make Illegals Tomorrow’s ‘Democrat Voters’

 Trending Politics   . . . Florida Republican Rep. Carlos Gimenez is calling the Biden administration’s handling of the immigration crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border “almost criminal.”

While speaking to a reporter at a rally on Tuesday for freedom in Cuba held at the U.S. Capitol, Gimenez also said he thinks the Biden administration is releasing thousands of migrants into the U.S. in the hopes they will eventually become Democratic voters.

“That’s the problem with having an administration which says they’re centrist but they’re not really,” Gimenez said.

“They’re really far left extreme, a far-left extreme administration. People say, ‘Well, look, [Biden] talks like a centrist.’ I don’t care how the president talks. I care what the president does, and what the president is doing, especially at the southern border, is almost criminal,” he added." . . .

Comment to this post: "We are seeing the planned destruction of our country happening before our own eyes in real time, the democrats are as we speak executing a 2nd coup on America. Our elected leaders do nothing and have reneged on their oath of office and this impostor regime has taken control, we are being initiated into the NWO by our enemies. We the PEOPLE must rise and be heard and these traitors in office must go, the nation must be saved before it is too late they have made a deal with the globalists. We are being tested by the dems and globalists to see how long we will obey so they will know when to take our 2nd amendment protection against tyranny, we need to defend our country."

America had its first show trial on Tuesday and it was loathsome

Once again, if you want this situation to change, you must be heard. Inform yourself (and we’re happy to help), but you need to reach out to your congresspeople, rather than letting leftists be the only ones they hear from. Andrea Widberg

Andrea Widburg  . . . "While Antifa and BLM got a pass for their violent behavior during 2020 (and in all other years for that matter), the FBI has been hunting January 6 people down like dogs. They are political prisoners kept in inhumane circumstances. They are being overcharged with felonies, even though most did nothing more than “trespass” in the People’s house or “parade.” Doing this will ensure that they are forever deprived of their right to vote or carry arms.

"None of the politicians in the Capitol came into contact with the Americans who entered the Capitol. And yet we were treated to the disgraceful spectacle of Reps. Schiff and Kinzinger sobbing. They’re bad actors. You could see the moving parts." . . .

Poll: More Americans Want ‘Black Lives Matter Riots’ Investigated Than January 6 Riot

 Daily Wire   "As Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi picks members of a select committee to investigate the riots of January 6, a new poll finds that many Americans believe she’s focusing on the wrong riots.

"One-third more Americans believe Congress should hold investigative hearings about last summer’s “Black Lives Matter protests that sparked violence” than think lawmakers ought to probe the riot at the capitol on January 6.

"In all, two out of three likely U.S. voters say they believe Congress should open an official investigation into “the violent protests,” which blazed a trail of arson and looting through major and mid-sized cities nationwide. On the other hand, fewer than half (49%) of Americans support Pelosi’s investigation of the D.C. riot, in which rioters protesting the 2020 presidential election results stormed the capitol.

"Support for a federal inquiry into the riots that engulfed U.S. cities after the death of George Floyd cut deep across racial and political lines. “Sixty-seven percent (67%) of whites, 64% of black voters, 66% of Hispanics and 62% of other minorities think Congress should investigate the 2020 riots in U.S. cities,” reported Rasmussen Reports. “Seventy-five percent (75%) of Republicans, 60% of Democrats and 63% of voters not affiliated with either major party say Congress should investigate last year’s violent protests.”

"The Speaker’s controversial select committee stands on shakier ground." . . .

Breaking News: House KILLS Kevin McCarthy's bid to get his GOP picks on the Capitol Riot committee with 'Pelosi Republicans' Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger voting with Democrats just hours before the first hearing

 UK Daily Mail  "The House of Representatives voted Monday night to kill a resolution from Republican leader Kevin McCarthy to get his picks on Nancy Pelosi’s Capitol Riot Select Committee.

"Republicans Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, who many inside the GOP want to see punished for choosing to take their seats on the panel, voted against the measure with the vote finishing 218-197.

"McCarthy’s resolution was the last bid to compel Pelosi to accept the five Republican members and allow them to be part of the investigation he has called a ‘sham’.

"He withdrew all his nominations when Pelosi refused to seat Reps Jim Banks and Jim Jordan last week.

"The vote came just hours before the first hearing was set to begin on Tuesday into the investigation into January 6.  

"Cheney said on Monday that McCarthy was ‘childish’ for labeling her and Kinzinger, the only two members of the GOP on the January 6 committee, ‘Pelosi Republicans.’

" ‘We’ve got very serious business here. We have important work to do,’ she said to reporters on Capitol Hill." . . .

The Washington Post’s Hit Job on Tucker Carlson

 UsMAGANews.com

"The Washington Post headline read this way: How Tucker Carlson became the voice of White grievance "

"As Ronald Reagan might say, there goes the left-wing media again.

"When a conservative media figure arises with a sizable audience of millions of Americans, one can bet that, like clockwork, the Post or some other lefty journal or network will indignantly smear the target of the moment as racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic, etc.

"This kind of racket has appeared since the late William F. Buckley Jr. burst on the national scene with his bestselling book God and Man at Yale, way back in 1951 — a full 70 years ago. The young whippersnapper Buckley — 26 at the time — was assailed by horrified leftists as promoting “pure fascism” and worse by simply saying Yale had been infected with left-wing bias in its classrooms.

"So with Tucker Carlson drawing millions to his Fox show Tucker Carlson Tonight it was inevitable that he would be targeted (again!) as Buckley, the late Rush Limbaugh, and a by-now lengthy list of conservative media personalities and news outlets have been (including, as I was startled to realize while at CNN, yours truly).

"But let’s stick to this piece on Tucker and wade in to the specifics of the Post smear to illustrate just how the Game of Smears has been played here — and focus on just who, really, is into the politics of racial grievance.

"Let’s start with the headline.  . . .
