The MSM Send the Case Down the Memory Hole, and the Alleged Killer’s Employer, Allied Barton Security, Sandbags Journalist, Yet There is News to Report! 

Brittney Watts’ accused killer, Nkosi Thandiwe, was working as a security guard for Allied Barton Security Services, when he encountered the young advertising woman. Thandiwe manned a security console in the Atlanta building, 1170 Peachtree St. NE, in which Watts worked at 22squared, as a digital media supervisor. That allowed him to observe and communicate with elevator riders through a closed circuit TV (CCTV) camera and speaker system, which he used to stalk and eventually murder Watts.

That’s the story an Atlanta source, speaking on condition of anonymity, told this writer. The source contacted me after reading the first three blog items I’d published, variously written by my reader-researcher-legman, David in TN, and culled from MSM reports, on the Watts murder. The source said that after the murder, Thandiwe’s employer, Allied Barton Security Services, reviewed the building’s security tapes, and discovered that Thandiwe had used the security system to surveil Watts when she rode the elevator. He had spoken to her at least once while she was riding alone in the elevator, and the day he murdered her, he had seen her coming down in the elevator on the CCTV, and left his station at the console, in order to get to the parking garage across the street, where he hunted her down and killed her.

I tried to get Allied Barton to confirm or deny the story, but instead, as so often happens when dealing with flacks, I got sandbagged.

I spoke on the telephone with Alan Stein, an Allied Barton VP, at the company’s main office near Pittsburgh, but Stein wanted me to apply for an interview, writing him, with my journalistic background. I told him that I’d been published by the (New York) Daily News, New York Post, Newsday, and dozens of other publications, which is true. He asked who I was writing this story for, and I said that I might run the story at my blog.

He said he’d be away the next day (Friday), but that I should write him with my background.

Well, I’d already given him my background. Only twice in 28 years had a potential interview subject demanded that I apply for an interview. The other case was that of a pollster, following the 2004 presidential election, when several networks had considered throwing the presidential election for socialist John Kerry.

In late 2004, I actually started writing a long list of credits and a cover letter, before thinking: This is ridiculous. If the guy were serious about speaking to me, he would have done so, right then. Having interviewed perhaps a couple hundred people as a journalist, I can confidently say that you don’t “apply” for an interview the way you do for a job.

Back in the present, I’m running late one day, and Stein wanted a note, so I e-mailed him, as preparation for calling him the next day, repeating what I’d already told him, while adding another prestige credit, the weekly standard.

He immediately wrote back:

Please forward a sample of your published pieces from these publications Daily News, New York Post, NYPress, Weekly Standard, Newsday [sic] Additionally, please forward the credentials for the publication you are writing this piece as well as a contact email for someone from the publication so I can validate that your [sic] writing for a credentialed source. We receive a number of media requests and this is standard proceed [sic]. Thank you, Alan Alan L. Stein Vice President, Marketing & Sales Services AlliedBarton Security Services

“A credentialed source”? What the heck is that? I’ve never heard of such a thing. Does it refer to the publisher’s college transcripts? No. It’s just a snow job.

A typical interview only lasts a few minutes, and if the flack isn’t commenting, seconds. Even when the voice on the other end is cooperative, he usually only has a modest amount of information to give me. We’re not in Deep Throat territory.

By the time I first spoke to Stein, he already knew what Allied Barton knew about Thandiwe and the crime, and knew the firm’s crisis PR strategy, because as the VP dealing with the media, he’d helped formulate it.

If one checks out Allied Barton’s Web site, one finds … almost nothing. It is one of those contemporary, corporate Web sites that is designed to look nice, while providing almost no information, not even a flow chart or list of executives.

And after all, discretion is a byword in the security field, whether regarding one’s clients or one’s own corporate business.

Otherwise, except for two developments almost one month old, the Brittney Watts case has gone under the radar. The MSM are in “don’t ask, don’t tell” mode. They’re not asking any questions about race, motive, or stalking, so that no one gives them any answers they have no intention of publishing. Of course, nowadays, police and prosecutors also practice DADT, where black-on-white crimes are concerned.

Thandiwe’s lawyer, Rickey Richardson, is playing the “crazy card.” Late last month, he requested a psychiatric evaluation for his client. When an attorney plays the crazy card, he is admitting that his client committed the crime in question, because otherwise he would simply plead not guilty, straight up.

Thandiwe, whose mother is a high-profile Constitutional attorney and anti-death penalty advocate, is so crazy that he engaged Richardson, before even turning himself in. He’s crazy, alright; crazy like a fox.

Not that mom—who surely helped secure Richardson’s services—needs to worry about her son meeting with justice. Black Atlanta jurors are so racist that they wouldn’t even vote to give mass murderer Brian Nichols the death penalty.

And local black politician, “Able” Mable Thomas, has undertaken a vicious campaign, demonizing the store which legally sold the apparent murder weapon to Thandiwe, which fully cooperated with the Atlanta PD, and which got a letter of commendation from the PD for their help, though the PD has since backtracked, and now insists that the letter is meaningless. (The results of ballistics testing have not yet been released.) The store must have a white owner.

Maybe Alan Stein will comment after reading this story.

You’ve got my telephone number and email, Mr. Stein.

Last week ended in pageantry that altered history in ways the whole world could take notice, vicariously participate, and absorb into the collective conscience. On Friday the heir to the British throne married and a former commoner became the future queen of England. The world rejoiced.

On Sunday, Pope John Paul was beatified, a step toward sainthood, in an expedited Vatican process that was a response to the crowds who gathered at his funeral on April 8, 2005 and cried out “Santos Subito!” Sainthood now.

The evening before was the annual black-tie White House Correspondent’s Association Dinner, a gathering whose humble beginnings reflected the job of covering the presidency. The Association was formed in 1914 in response to news that President Wilson wanted to hold regular press conferences, but wasn’t sure who should attend. The reporters wanted to make sure they made that decision. They held their first dinner in 1920 and, in 1924, Calvin Coolidge was the first President to attend.

Today the dinner is a glitzy affair and can be watched on C-SPAN. As Dana Milbank of The Washington Post noted in an April 29 commentary, the dinner has spawned twenty parties around the event, sponsored by corporations and media organizations who invite film and television celebrities who are also guests at the dinner. It’s a chance for star-struck reporters to rub shoulders with them.

“The correspondent’s association dinner was a minor annoyance for years,” wrote Milbank, “when it was a ‘nerd prom’ for journalists and a few minor celebrities. But as with so much else in this town, the event has spun out of control. Now awash in lobbyists and corporate money, it is another display of Washington’s excesses.”

What ties the dinner together with the beatification ceremony the following day was inadvertently touched upon by Wall Street Journal columnist, Peggy Noonan, a former speechwriter for President Ronald Reagan, historian, best selling author, and a national treasure.

Writing about Pope John Paul’s historic visit to his native Poland in June 1979, Noonan noted that the Mass he conducted was attended by easily a million or more Poles, but when “Everyone at the Mass went home and put on state-controlled television to see the coverage of the great event, they knew millions had been there, they knew what was said, they knew everyone there was part of a spiritual uprising. But the state-run TV had nothing. State-run TV had a few people in the mud and a picture of the pope.”

“Everyone looked at the propaganda of the state, at its lack of truthfulness and its disrespect for reality, and they thought: It’s all lies. Everything the government says is a lie. The government itself is a lie.”

Poland along with Eastern Europe was still in the iron grip of the Soviet Union as it had been since the end of World War Two. In Poland, however, resistance had begun in the form of the Solidarity Movement. Lech Walessa, its leader, told Noonon “We knew…communism could not be reformed. But we knew the minute he touched the foundations of communism, it would collapse.”

The collapse that came began with the failure of the Polish state-controlled press to tell the truth.

While the United States does not have a state-controlled press, the rise of many news and news analysis sites on the Internet has made it clear to a growing body of Americans that the mainstream news media (MSM) has failed or refused to report the truth.

The election of President Barack Obama in 2008 is now largely attributed to the slavish adoration and biased reporting that lifted him from virtual obscurity and put him in the Oval Office.

The release of an obviously fraudulent “birth certificate” this past week evoked virtually no outrage in the MSM. Instead they demanded that the issue of Obama’s eligibility to hold the highest office in the land had been settled. It had taken nearly two years since an initial, comparable certificate had been put out by his campaign to get a repeat of that fraud.

The trust that was formerly given the MSM has been steadily eroded for years and with good reason.

Milbank wrote that he did not fault any one host for throwing a party “or any journalist for attending. Many of them are friends. There’s nothing inherently wrong with savoring Johnnie Walker Blue with the politicians we cover. But the cumulative effect is icky.”

That’s a pretty good description of the nation’s mood about President Obama and those charged with reporting on him. It’s “icky.”

This is a President who is calling for higher taxes in the midst of a severe recession, increasing inflation, $4 a gallon gasoline at the pump, a distressed housing market, and high unemployment.

This is a President who will not let our vast national reserves of oil and coal be developed for America’s use. This is a President advocating high speed trains, wind and solar power, electric cars. He shuns our allies and thinks he can pick the winners and losers in the “Arab spring” as despots are being overthrown and challenged.

Not only has our federal government been debased by a Marxist regime, but those charged with reporting on it have allowed themselves to be seduced by it.
“Santos Subito!” is a call for a renewed spiritual faith and the spiritual values that Americans of all faiths want and need in order to replace the quasi-communist regime in Washington, D.C.

One of the reasons newspaper circulation and TV news ratings are falling is because people no longer trust journalists. They are tired of being mislead as reporters select and distort news coverage to conform to the media’s ideology.

Monday produced two prime examples and both involved slanted opinion surveys.

The first was headlined: “Gap seen between public, General Assembly on recent stances.” The story showcased a Christopher Newport University survey that claimed eight out of ten Virginians supported a new law that would require background checks for all firearms purchasers at gun shows, including those who purchase from private individuals.

The reporter, Jim Nolan, predicts an obstinate Virginia General Assembly will ignore “the public’s strong preferences.” What Nolan doesn’t say is the survey was dishonest and specifically designed to produce an answer supporting additional regulation.

The question read: “Under Virginia law, in order for an individual to be able to purchase a firearm at a gun show from a licensed firearms dealer, that individual must first pass a criminal background check. However, that same individual could purchase a firearm at that same gun show from an unlicensed seller without first having to pass a criminal background check. This is known as the GUNSHOW LOOPHOLE. Do you support changing the law to close this loophole so that anyone purchasing a firearm at a gun show has to pass a criminal background check first or should the law remain as it is?”

There are two methodology problems that distort the results. The term “unlicensed seller” implies someone is skirting the law and gives a negative connotation to the listener. Second, using the pejorative term “GUNSHOW LOOPHOLE” is simply malpractice. Repeating the term “loophole” doubles the dishonesty. The technical term for this, aside from lying, is tainting the sample.

An honest poll uses neutral language. A biased, pro–gun control poll uses loaded language to influence results.

I’m surprised only 80 percent wanted to change the law, maybe a few lobbyists slipped into the sample. American’s don’t like “loopholes” that slippery people use to get by with something.

The only loophole a vast majority of the public would not support eliminating is one that allowed adultery; and even then women would be for elimination.

If the sponsors of the survey — CNU, The Virginian–Pilot and WVEC–TV — had been interested in accuracy, the question would have been:

“Under Virginia law, to purchase a firearm at a gun show from a licensed firearms dealer an individual must first pass a criminal background check. However, that same individual is allowed purchase a firearm at that same gun show from a private citizen without first passing a criminal background check. Do you support changing the law so that a person who makes an private sale at a gun show is required to conduct a criminal background check before he can sell the firearm to another individual or should the law remain as it is?”

This answer would truly reflect public opinion, because the wording accurately and neutrally describes the existing situation. The CNU poll does neither.

If a Republican candidate conducts a poll with questionable wording, he’s blasted for conducting a “push poll.” When the media does it, the poll is a public service.

Example two concerns Obamacare. This story claims strong opposition is at the lowest level since September 2009, once again based on biased questioning: “In general, do you support, oppose or neither support nor oppose the health care reforms that were passed by Congress in March?”
The misleading term is “reforms.” “Reforms” implies something was wrong with the status quo and the law corrected the situation.

Interestingly, the word “reform” does not appear in the Associated Press story, evidently because the term served its purpose in the questionnaire. Yet, even after cooking the books, AP still couldn’t get the desired outcome, so the reporter simply distorts the results.

He doesn’t tell you “strong opposition” levels are three times that of merely “oppose.” Which is the reverse of most polling, where general support or opposition is usually far higher than intense feelings.
Even more damning is that “strongly support” Obamacare is 21 percent, while “somewhat support” is 19 percent, almost a one–to–one ratio.

Successful political consultants know the side with the intense support is the side that wins and opposition to Obama’s “reform” remains far more intense, regardless of temporary polling fluctuations.
Recently the Richmond Times–Dispatch and PolitiFact.com have partnered to produce the “Virginia Truth–O–Meter” where august journalists evaluate the veracity of statements made by politicians after they filter the facts through their own ideological prism. The scale on the meter ranges from true to “pants–on–fire.”

My suggestion for the partnership would be to perform a real public service and broaden its focus to include another category of dangerous fantasists: liberal political reporters.

…Two Alleged Accomplices are Arrested in Racist Mass Murderer’s Criminal Conspiracy

Part Two of a Series (Part One: Manchester Massacre Headline: “Family: Racism caused Conn. gunman to snap”)

The mainstream media (MSM) are off trolling for their next race hoax, having long forgotten their campaign to make Omar Thornton a victim of white “racism.” But I haven’t forgotten. Eight of Thornton’s victims are still dead and buried, and the other two have scars that will last a lifetime. The media’s libels remain. And the case of a penny-ante criminal conspiracy remains, which gets more pathetic by the day.

Christy Quail, 33, the wife of  Thornton’s best friend and former Hartford Distributors colleague, Sean P. Quail, was arrested on August 6 as Thornton’s alleged accomplice in his criminal scheme. As Matthew Lysiak and Leo Standora of the Daily News reported,

“Christy Quail, 33, was caught twice last month receiving beer from Thornton on tape recorded by a private investigator hired by Hartford Distributors,” police said. She was arrested at her home yesterday and charged with two counts of sixth-degree larceny, cops said.

(See the video here.) On August 16, her husband, Sean, was arrested on the same charges.

Christy Quail was to be arraigned on August 17, but her lawyer instead got a mysterious continuance before court began. I can only imagine that that was in order to drag out matters until after things died down, and the matter could quietly be disappeared.

But a funny thing happened at court that day. When a friend pulled up in a truck to pick up Christy Quail, with husband Sean riding shotgun, a Fox CT team approached the truck to get a shot and ask Mrs. Quail questions. But as soon as she boarded the truck, her husband whipped out cans of hornet and wasp spray, and sprayed reporter George Colli and photographer Alan Chaniewski, hitting Colli on the head and his clothes, and hitting Chaniewski in the face.

Chaniewski got first-aid at a nearby firehouse, and the truck was stopped by police, who arrested Sean Quail.

Thus, Sean P. Quail has managed to leverage his two larceny charges into additional charges of “three counts each of reckless endangerment and third-degree assault, as well as carrying a dangerous instrument and breach of peace”.

Mr. Quail may need an even better lawyer than his wife.

In his first court date for the charges based on his attack on the Fox reporters, on August 31, Sean P. Quail pleaded not guilty to all charges. Never mind, that the entire attack was caught on camera. He didn’t “allegedly” assault those guys.

Sean Quail’s next court date is October 6. A couple of days after Thornton’s rampage, his girlfriend, Kristi Hannah, insisted that he didn’t drink, and thus that he would never have stolen beer. At about the same time, Sean P. Quail floated the same ridiculous claim. What does whether a man drank beer have to do with whether he stole it, in order to re-sell it? They may not be rocket scientists, but their alchemy is identical. What’re the odds on that?

Thornton’s little criminal conspiracy to steal and resell beer might explain why Hannah has, since Thornton’s atrocity on August Tuesday, gone from claiming (without evidence) that her boyfriend had endured two “racist” incidents in two years on the job, to asserting that he was enduring racism “over and over and over and over and over,” on a “daily basis.” Such Sharptonesque hyperbole, and breathless expansion of charges that were dubious, to begin with, comes straight out of The Race Hoax Handbook.

Thornton’s employer, union, and state officials all maintain, contrary to Kristi Hannah, that he never made any complaints about racism.

And as I previously reported, over one year before the time frame in which Kristi Hannah insists that Thornton saw a drawing of a noose in a workplace bathroom, the State of Connecticut had enacted a law “to punish those who display nooses to intimidate or harass minorities,” with “violators in Connecticut fac[ing] up to a year in prison.” (The law is facially unconstitutional, but to my knowledge, no one has yet challenged it.)

Hannah has since revised her story, saying that the company would clean off the racist graffiti, and a few days later, someone would paint or wrote more of the same.

Were Hannah telling the truth, based on either the noose or the racial epithets, her boyfriend could have sued Hartford Distributors and become a rich man, without having to steal from, or even work for the company anymore.

Hannah upped the ante, going after race-sensitive corporation Anheuser-Busch, currently ranked 149th on the Fortune 500, claiming that she wants “everybody to know that Budweiser [sic] should be held accountable for the racism stuff.”

Anheuser-Busch routinely lets itself be shaken down for millions by racist extortionists such as Jesse Jackson Sr., but they don’t even own the distributorship. Thus, Kristi Hannah doesn’t appear to be any brighter than her racist, thieving, mass-murdering boyfriend. But when the police tried to show her the video of her boyfriend re-selling stolen beer, she did have sense enough to stonewall the police. A criminal’s kind of sense.

In Mystery of theft tape as gal pal clams up, Jennifer Bain and Dan Mangan of the New York Post reported on August 6,

The [blonde-haired] girlfriend of Connecticut shooting-rampage madman Omar Thornton yesterday stonewalled cops when she was asked to identify a woman seen on surveillance video receiving stolen beer from Thornton. Kristi Hannah told reporters that Manchester police had asked her to view the tape and possibly ID a woman seen getting the swiped suds from Thornton, a truck driver for a large beer distributor. Hannah, 28, asked the cops if the other woman was a “blonde,” she told reporters. [Christy Quail has dark hair.] Cops told her they would have to check the tape again to see if that was the case…. Hannah, who was nervous about talking to police without a lawyer, then told cops she would not watch the video in their presence. [Why should she be nervous?] Instead, she said she would watch the video on TV if it were released publicly.

The MSM, predictably, has ignored this development. After all, Kristi Hannah served as their racial Delphic Oracle.

Hannah concocted two secondary cover stories which she thought would refute the videotapes of Thornton stealing. The first one was the aforementioned, “he didn’t drink,” and the second story was that all of the white drivers were also stealing, but only Thornton was fired, because he was black.

“They all did it, that’s why it’s funny that they’re pinpointing.”

Posters at racist black blogs have made the same claim, without even referring to Hannah, so natural a talking point that is in such venues.

Should Kristi Hannah also get arrested, look for her to claim that the authorities are retaliating against her for ‘speaking out against racism,’ and seeking to silence her.

Doing its part to bolster the MSM fairy tale, Google made the racist rant, “The Omar Thornton Shootings Show Us Racism Is Here To Stay?,” the number one news story on the case on the day it appeared, even though it was just a post at a blog. (We need to dispense with the idea that Google is an alternative to the MSM, and see it as part of the MSM.)

Some less experienced readers may be wondering how the MSM could so tenaciously maintain its racial fairy tale, according to which Omar Thornton was a black avenging angel, righteously smiting white racists, in spite of a complete lack of supporting evidence, and in the face of mountains of evidence contradicting it.

Such misunderstandings, and I am prone to them, even now, are based on the archaic belief that the media are based on facts. Sometimes they are, such as when a story reports on Lindsey Lohan’s latest brush with the law. But when it comes to a black man blowing away eight white, hard-working, family men, the facts just don’t matter. Or as a J-school professor might say, ‘The facts have to be put into the proper context.’

The MSM are a cross between a religious cult and a massive federation of criminal organizations.

Religion is based on faith, not facts. For a believer to maintain faith in a beneficent Creator, in spite of one terrible fact after another, is a virtue. If journalism is to be more than mere propaganda, however, journalists must submit to facts. But where race or sex is concerned, they don’t.

In a criminal interrogation, in which a group of detectives have thrown a crook’s lies back in his face over and over and over and over and over again, an ordinary criminal would have broken, and recanted his cover story weeks ago. But members of the MSM cling desperately to their racist, sexist faith. These are people who were carefully screened by journalism schools, based on their hatreds and their contempt for facts, and carefully monitored during that year for disqualifying tendencies towards decency and honesty. And once they get hired, they are continually monitored. Last year, a leading MSM reporter I interviewed mentioned an editor putting him through a wringer politically for a seemingly innocuous story he’d written.

Not only must MSM “reporters” constantly prove anew their fidelity to the MSM’s creed of racism, sexism, and dishonesty, but unlike ordinary criminals, they never get “taken downtown” and confronted, alone, with their lies, by a team of honest interrogators. They always remain together with their co-conspirators, who mutually reinforce each other’s cover stories.

Most of the time, the MSM are able to remain on message with unfolding stories pertaining to race or sex, but sometimes they screw up, and let some truth seep in.

The most dramatic previous case I know of, was the murderous black anarchy that took hold in New Orleans beginning shortly before Hurricane Katrina made landfall, in late August, 2005. Caught up in the initial excitement, the MSM reported honestly on blacks who were breaking into gun shops, murdering people, committing gang rapes, shooting at (mostly white) rescuers, etc. But after a few days, blacks began raging at the MSM for telling the truth, and the MSM’s leading lights suffered truth remorse. As I reported in various forms between October, 2005 and September, 2006, the folks running New Orleans’ Times-Picayune newspaper then organized what is, to my knowledge, the biggest, organized journalism fraud in the history of the American press. The Times-Pic’ unreported many of its own biggest stories, but without admitting that it had published them, and in a few weeks’ time, Times-Pic’ “reporter” Brian Thevenot went from being a celebrity for writing about enduring the anarchy, to being a celebrity for denying that the anarchy had ever occurred.

While Columbia University’s Pulitzer Prize Committee, run by Nicholas Lemann, gave the Times-Pic’ not one but two Pulitzers, as a reward for its fraud, I gave seven of the paper’s editors and reporters my own Duranty-Blair Award for Journalistic Infamy.

Since Omar Thornton’s case was that of a workplace shooting, it was even more sudden and dramatic than New Orleans, since in 2005, the MSM had known both that a hurricane was about to hit land, and what “NOLA” was all about. But when your police contacts call, and tell you that a guy is shooting up a workplace, you grab your laptop, and run. Plus, black workplace shooters have traditionally been rare.

You get to the crime scene, and learn, “Oh, s–t, it’s a black guy!” So, you have to go to Plan B, and swamp the real story with a “racism” story. Fortunately, this is easy: Since the racist mass murderer was a paranoid black, you’re permitted, nay, obliged to ignore the facts. Besides, his white girlfriend and her mother are playing the game, too. The “racism” story practically writes itself. The eight dead and two wounded whites? Unlike darling Kristi Hannah and her mom, Joanne, they’re just a bunch of racist white trash. They’re not your problem at all. They’re not even collateral damage in the revolution. (When black folks kill other blacks, the victims count as collateral damage—unless they were patriotic Americans.)

The Associated Press has been the most egregious offender in maintaining the dishonest “Thornton was a victim of racism” talking point, so maybe Lemann will reward it with a Pulitzer or two for lying, this time around. And yet, so few people believe the MSM’s fictions anymore that the entire print industry is teetering on the brink of collapse. Only racist blacks and relatively few white communists believe such nonsense, and blacks never financially supported the MSM, even in good times. And in a case of poetic justice, no matter how far the MSM bend over for racist blacks, the latter still damn them as “racist”!

In matters of race, these days poetic justice seems to be the closest we ever get to justice.

… More Media Bias Concerning the Tea Parties.

With all the talk of “threats” and vandalism lately, the MSM has continued to repeat the talking points that the GOP and the Tea Parties and guilty of racial slurs, threatening government officials and breaking windows at Democratic offices (even ones that are 30 stories up!).  Now, there are no videos of this (other than the one that showed that the Congressional Black Caucus was lying).  There have been no arrests, but the MSM keeps going along without evidence, just like they did last summer.

I would also be negligent if I omitted the violence at the 2008 GOP Convention.  The Powerline Blog has a great post on the subject.

I attended the convention and remember the terrorist acts that were carried out by anti-Republican protesters very well. They threw bricks through the windows of buses, sending elderly convention delegates to the hospital. They dropped bags of sand off highway overpasses onto vehicles below. Fortunately, no one was killed.

These were anti-Bush and anti-Republican protesters. Is it a stretch to think that some of them, at least, may have been inspired by over-the-top, hateful attacks on the Bush administration by Democratic Congressmen, DNC Chairman Howard Dean, Michael Moore, who was a guest of honor at the Democrats’ own convention, various show business personalities, and many other leading liberal figures? I don’t think so. We haven’t seen that sort of hate campaign since the Democrats went after Abraham Lincoln. It seems unlikely that none of the “protesters” who tried to commit murder were inspired by those liberal voices.

Didn’t hear about that from MSNBC, did you?

So, we see that there is a proud history of lying about the right, ignoring the actual documented violence of the left, and it’s only getting more blatant and transparent.

Next up, the Tea Party rally in Nevada yesterday.  Here is CNN’s coverage, courtesy of NewsBusters.

Dozens, eh?  Let’s compare “dozens” to reality.  Here is an aerial view of the protest courtesy of Gateway Pundit.

Yup, that’s dozens alright!  That’s about as accurate as the estimated costs of ObamaCare!

Then, to keep on spreading the talking points, the WaPo chimed in as well.

The angry faces at Tea Party rallies are eerily familiar. They resemble faces of protesters lining the street at the University of Alabama in 1956 as Autherine Lucy, the school’s first black student, bravely tried to walk to class.

Those same jeering faces could be seen gathered around the Arkansas National Guard troopers who blocked nine black children from entering Little Rock’s Central High School in 1957.

Again, this is the typical talking point:  The Tea Parties are racists, and will engage in violence at some point.

Considering all the evidence, and looking at the past history of the Democrats, I think that this is the plan:

1.  For over a year now, the government, the Democratic Party, and the MSM have been in lockstep in describing anyone who disagrees with the POTUS as a terrorist in waiting.

2.  Once the Tea Parties started, the same folks in government, the Dems, and the MSM, have been alternately minimizing the size and scope of the movement, as well as simply making up unsubstantiated lies about it.  Note that the lies are meant to craft a public perception that matched the claims that the movement is filled with racists and potential terrorists.

3.  Now that the Health Care bill is done, a distraction is needed.  After all, the party doesn’t want stories about job losses, rising premiums, and the other flaws of the bill making it onto the news, so why not kill two birds with one stone?  Smear the opposition and distract everyone at the same time.  Now, some will say that this is wild speculation, but kindly remember that the Clinton administration would fire off a cruise missile and make some rubble bounce every time one of his civil cases went to court.  How many former Clinton operatives now work for Obama?

4.  So, without evidence of any kind, the administration, Dems, and MSM lapdogs are beating the same drum.  The GOP and Tea Parties are racists that are threatening Dems and vandalizing Dem offices.  Again, there is no evidence, and history clearly indicates that the Dems have done this themselves many times themselves in order to smear their opposition.

5.  If the Dems can cause the GOP to distance themselves from the Tea Parties, they might split the Conservative Vote.  I doubt it will happen, but it makes sense for the Democrats to try.

6.  The Democrats are also blaming talk radio, FOX News, and any other voices that disagree with the administration, of engaging in hate speech.  They are blaming Limbaugh, Beck, and the others for inciting “violence” out there.  And all the while, the left is actually suggesting violence.

7.  Cass Sunstein, Mark Lloyd, and Henry Waxman have all floated the idea of regulating media content.  Lloyd in particular, being a big fan of Hugo Chavez, has suggested nationalizing all media.  Needless to say, in that situation, the left’s messages would be the only ones allowed on the airwaves, or possibly the Internet.  “Hate speech,” in other words, dissent against the administration, is “hate,” and would be banned in such a scenario.

8.  If they can’t smear and create a crisis by lying, they might just stage their own “Reichstag Fire” in order to create a crisis sufficient to justify banning this “hate speech.”

Kindly consider that everything that I just mentioned has been done before, I covered some of it in my False Flag post.  It’s simply a question of looking at their past behavior, their stated objectives, and their current actions, and we can make some fair estimations as their current intent.  Is it conjecture?  Yes, but conjecture based on previous statements and behavior.  After all, why would we expect those that deal with deception to suddenly become honest?
