COLUMN OF THE WEEK
Keep Hate Alive!
2/21
Sheriff David Clarke (Ret.)
Race provocateur extraordinaire Jesse Jackson made famous a
slogan in his run for the Presidency in 1988. It was Keep Hope Alive. Thirty
years later the American Left has replaced the word hope with another four
letter h-word: hate. They hate Republicans, they hate white male conservatives,
they hate Trump, they hate the unborn, they hate the American flag, and they
hate the police. The Left sees so much potential in using hate as a political
weapon that they have built a hate industrial complex. If they don’t keep hate
alive, the bottom of their identity politics strategy collapses.
Enough has been said about the Jussie Smollett incident. The
investigation has gone from Smollett being the victim of a hateful homophobic
racist attack into what appears to be a hoax. The Chicago Police Department has
gone overboard to afford Smollett the benefit of the doubt, and now say that
the investigation has taken a new turn. Interpret that to be a sensitive way of
saying, we no longer believe his story. Here is some free advice. Whenever you
hear about a race-related attack and a noose is in the story, your BS detector
should go off.
It appears, and I repeat appears, that Smollett is not a
victim, rather a fraud who perpetrated a cruel hoax. If this turns out to be
true, Smollett committed a hate crime against three demographics, hitting the
trifecta as he simultaneously smeared whites, males, and heterosexuals. If he
is found to have filed a false report, he should be aggressively prosecuted.
Smollett going national with this aggravates it even more.
For that, there should be a federal hate crime investigation. However,
the reality is that, if found to be hoax, he will not be aggressively
prosecuted. If he is even charged, he will most likely receive some watered-down
prosecution, pay a fine and be allowed to move on—therefore the lack of
deterrence encourages others to perpetrate subsequent hoaxes.
Gay and black advocacy groups should be incensed with
Smollett, but at this point, they have been silent. Smollett has cast doubt on
real claims of gay and black assaults based on skin color and sexual
orientation in the future. This is not something to be taken lightly. Smollett
knew he had the advantage of his celebrity and platform to stage this hoax.
However, he ended up flying a bit too close to the sun.
As they always do, these incidents serve as an opportunity
for virtue signaling and moral preening. Ellen DeGeneres jumped in clutching
her pearls over the Smollett incident. Maxine Waters, Kamala Harris, Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez and Corey Booker jumped in showing their support for the alleged
victim Smollett while shaming the rest of America. The national liberal media
learned nothing from the Covington High School incident as they ran full-speed
and blindly ahead with reports of the Smollett attack. They drove their
predictable narratives while using the Smollett incident as an opportunity to
drag President Trump into the discussion and deceitfully chastise every white
male conservative for supposedly creating a racist, homophobic environment in
America. When will liberal media learn? Probably never—these kinds of stories
appeal to their libelous agenda.
Race or sexual orientation attack hoaxes are not new. Recall
the Air Force Academy incident in which a racial slur was written outside the
room of a black cadet. After the school Superintendent Lt. General Jay Silveria
flaunted his racial sensitivity by admonishing and indicting every non-black
cadet as racist while yelling at them to get out of the Academy, it was determined
that the black cadet wrote the slur himself. Oops. Silveria should have been
disciplined for jumping to conclusions and indicting all those cadets before
learning the facts. He wasn’t. Many more of these race hoaxes have occurred on
college campuses. When it was discovered that the purported victim staged the
incident, the media packed up their cameras and microphones and left for the
next one. No one from this cabal followed up on the case for the final
disposition. We seldom hear what happens to the hoax perpetrator. The liberal
media is either too lazy or disinterested to keep the public informed. This
allows the prosecutors to sweep cases under the rug with light sentences.
According to the FBI, hate crimes against whites are the
fastest growing racial hate crimes in America. Let that sink in. Anti-Black
hate crimes decreased in 2016. That is not what we have been led to believe by
the agenda-driven liberal media. No government agency tracks race and
sexual-oriented hoaxes. They should. As long as we are monitoring the race of
the driver in police traffic stops why not hoaxes? The damage and national
uproar it causes makes it worth tracking.
According to a study by American Renaissance “between June
2015 and December 2017, there have been 101 reported what turned out to be
hoaxes.” The breakdown is 44 fabricated acts of bias by blacks, 17 hoaxes by
Middle Easterners, 13 by non-whites and 10 fabricated assaults against gays. In
the case of hate-crime hoaxes, black overrepresentation is much greater. Over
the last 2.5 years, on a per capita basis, blacks were 13.3 times more likely
than whites to commit hate-crime hoaxes.
Identity politics encourages a cult of perpetual victimhood.
Some groups find it therapeutic to be perpetually viewed as persecuted. It
shields them from criticism. America has pushed racism and bigotry to the
margins of society. We shame it, call it out. Although it exists, it’s on life
support. There is no need to fake it.

A major American political party..is recycling the familiar
Marxist arguments against capitalism and pointedly spinning Lenin’s fairy tales
here in the United States. As this neo-socialist movement gathers momentum and the slogans
of the Bolshevik revolution are reverberating from coast to coast, the millions
of disaffected dupes and untutored casualties of the American education system
can’t wait to set this country ablaze to fulfill a heady gospel of Marxism
constructed on hopes, myths, and grandiose lies. Antagonistic to a social order
at the apex of which stands freedom, socialism requires a form of behavior that
cannot sustain itself and therefore necessitates enforcement -- which is, in
fact, tyranny.
Entertainment TV is far worse than news when it comes to
progressive bias and hatred for conservative people and views. A cross section
of nightly programming on major networks, cable TV or popular streaming
services is loaded with anti-conservative, anti-Trump propaganda. January
features at least 33 separate entertainment programs that attack conservative
values and/or President Donald Trump while promoting a hardcore progressive
agenda.
A well-funded and subversive leftist movement of teachers in
the United States threatens to tilt the political balance nationwide in the
direction of Democrats across the country as Republicans barely hang on in key

Senate majority.

AOC’S GREEN NEW DEAL
Reality check: Cost of 'Green New Deal' would dwarf moon

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Posts ‘Cocktails for the
Revolution’ Recipes
The breathtaking ignorance, unabashed espousal of
authoritarian policies and nonsensical concepts by the current poster child of
the American Left, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, is a window into the end-product
of the indoctrination and resultant mindset of a significant demographic
segment of nearly two generations. While Marxist philosophy still undergirds
this mindset, a uniquely American doctrine has become the tip of the spear in
what will be a failed attempt in transforming the United States into a
socialist nation.
Ocasio-Cortez: Trump’s “moral abomination” of a border wall
is just like the Berlin Wall.
Ocasio-Cortez Reveals Her Plan to Overthrow the Supreme

Ben Stein: If ever
there was a multi-pronged way to snatch Depression from the Jaws of prosperity,
Ms. Ocasio-Cortez seems to have hit upon it.
It would be easy to dismiss the Green New Deal as an
impossible progressive dream, but that would be a mistake. The Green New Deal is not the bucket list of
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her fellow travelers, but a blueprint to turn
America into a socialist state. It is the culmination of a 90-year campaign,
begun with FDR and the first New Deal.

GLOBALONEY
Delingpole: A few
years ago at the height of the global warming scare I wrote a book which set
out to answer one of the key questions of our time: if climate change isn’t
really a problem why do so many people act as though it is? The answer, I discovered, is
that environmentalism is just a fashionable mask for the usual leftist
obsessions with state control and wealth redistribution. That’s why I called the book
Watermelons:
green on the outside, red on the inside. (But) not everyone who believes
in man-made climate change is a full on Commie. Some are merely useful idiots.
But whatever reason people may have for supporting the scam – greed, stupidity,
virtue-signalling, idiot leftist teachers – the net result is the same: bigger
government, higher taxes, more regulation, lower standards of living. Exactly
like you’d get under communism, in fact. So color me completely unshocked by
the Green New Deal. It looks like a revamped Communist Manifesto because that’s
exactly what it is.

ARTICLES
VDH: The illegal
effort to destroy the 2016 Trump campaign by Hillary Clinton campaign’s use of
funds to create, disseminate among court media, and then salt among high Obama
administration officials, a fabricated, opposition smear dossier failed.
So has the second special prosecutor phase of the coup to abort the Trump
presidency failed. There are many elements to what in time likely will
become recognized as the greatest scandal in American political history,
marking the first occasion in which U.S. government bureaucrats sought to
overturn an election and to remove a sitting U.S. president.
Pollster Mark Penn:
The most egregious anti-democratic actions ever taken by the what can
now fairly be called the Deep State are confirmed with the publication of fired
FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s new book detailing how the FBI and Justice
Department plotted to remove President Trump from office for firing FBI
Director James Comey. Justice Department and FBI officials spied on U.S.
citizens with false warrants, gave a pass to one presidential campaign with a
predetermined investigation, investigated another political campaign on the
basis of no verified evidence, and illegally leaked information on
investigations. They discussed wiretapping and using the 25th Amendment….
Dershowitz: If McCabe’s Interview Is True It Clearly Shows
an Attempted Coup d’Etat of Trump Administration
There was never any collusion. The entire debacle has been a
Deep State plot to depose a president. The Deep State-promulgated disillusionment
about our country’s true power nexus and electoral process has done much to
erode the faith of a generation not yet baptized in the fires of partisan
destruction.
“The Hidden State of Illegalia,” a satellite substate buried within every
legitimate state of the Union. For example, in the state of California
alone, there are about 1.2 million children born out of
"tourism" of pregnant illegal aliens. For comparison, the population
of the legitimate state of Wyoming is about 600,000 people.
In 2016, critics of Trump warned his Christians supporters
that as president he would revert to his secularist New York roots. He hasn’t.
The confidence the religious right placed in him has been largely vindicated.
He has turned out to be the most reliable defender of religious freedom since
Ronald Reagan.
Because race relations have changed so quickly in America
over the last few decades, racism is far less a problem in this country than
racialism. A racialist is a person who
looks at all society through the prism of race, the way Marx attributed all
social phenomena as somehow determined by economic class relationships. The racialist sees "dog whistles"
everywhere, ever so subtle evidences that racism continues to exist in the
subterranean recesses of people's psyche that even the accused
"racists" are not aware of…Racialism is essentially a political
phenomenon and so is largely confined to the political/media elites and to
those who have been indoctrinated with this idea at our universities..
“How to play Pull-a-Smollett: the game of social engineering”: At the risk of losing the punch line in the
translation, let me start with a Russian joke:
"We're sorry, but you're no longer welcome in our
house."
"Why is that?"
"The last time you visited, one of our spoons went missing."
"What nonsense, why would I steal your silverware?"
"We're not saying you did, we found it a day later, but the resentment still remains."
"Why is that?"
"The last time you visited, one of our spoons went missing."
"What nonsense, why would I steal your silverware?"
"We're not saying you did, we found it a day later, but the resentment still remains."
While the stain on this poor fellow's reputation was
accidental, we are now finding that such stains can be engineered, especially
if the media is on your side. Consider the Trump-Russia collusion scenario.
None of the claims against Trump have proven to be true, but "the
resentment remains." All of the
examples of hate and violence by Trump supporters have also proven to be
hoaxes, and yet the response usually is, "even if this one's a hoax, you
can't deny that Trump has created an atmosphere of resentment, and so many hate
crimes in the news can't all be hoaxes." To the Democrat leaders these
amateurs are what suicide bombers are to the leaders of ISIS: disposable human
material and acceptable losses in a war for power. Smollett's life may now be
in pieces, but he has left a lasting resentful stain in the public square,
having earned gratitude from 72 progressive self-identified virgins. Smollett's
name will now be forever tied to all the past, present, and future political
hoaxes, immortalized in the Party-approved Pull-a-Smollett game, in which young
and old progressives compete in who can better stain reputations, divide
people, and generate resentment at the cost of their own lives and careers.
“Hey, Democrats, I've lived in a socialist country with income
'equality' and it was miserable”
