Fox is done....It's about time1

 

It's all over for Fox News. They have been exposed for what they have always been. Another tool in the grip of the Duopoly. They are part and parcel of the Deep State and the Oligarchy that controls the Republic.

It is understandable that they dumped Tucker Carlson. He is an apostate. Against the dogma of the Deep State. He dares to be against the dictates of the corporate overlords. Sticking up for the victims of the government in the persecution of the January 6th patriots. Standing against the rape of our military preparedness in handing over all of our munitions to the Ukraine. To actual literal Nazi's who are the darlings of the left. Ridiculing the woke policies of the homosexual industrial complex in using pronouns and trans bathrooms policies where a chick with a dick gets to flash the News Bunnies in their locker room. I mean Judge Jeanine hasn't seen a cock since the first Bush administration. Do they want to give her a fuckin' heart attack?

For a long time, Fox has coasted by having Maga hosts in Primetime bringing the ratings while being the normal mainstream media pussies the rest of the day. They are infested with Bush Republicans who turn on us in calling races during elections or offering commentaries by pieces of shit like Karl Rove. 

Now the worm has turned on these worms so to speak.

Ron DeSantis has bypassed Fox to announce his candidacy on Twitter. He is going directly to the people. He seems smart enough to ignore the mainstream media and that includes Fox. They want him to be part of the Trump show. Have him attack Trump and let Trump attack him. Hoping to bring both of them down. He is smart to just tote his achievements directly to the people using social media. As long as Elon Musk can hold off the pressure to conform, he has a platform. Twitter will start broadcasting Tucker's show directly without censorship or pressure to conform to the dictates of the Duopoly. 

Fox is no longer the forum for Maga or the true conservative populist uprising. 

I don't know where I stand yet on the contest between Trump and DeSantis. We have to see what the campaign will bring.

I just know Fox News is dead to me. It should be dead to you.

The Return of the King

 

The God Emperor has already closed down his blog.

As reported by the New York Post the God Emperor of the Cherry Blossom Throne will be closing down the blog and website that he had just opened to communicate with his supporters. This is a precursor to returning to another social media platform which I presume to mean Twitter. Or perhaps he will go on "Gab" or another of Twitter's competitors. I just bet that it will be Twitter. They want the buzz and the activity that  his Tweets bring. Just as CNN's ratings have gone through the floor so has Twitter usage once the God Emperor was banned. So they are bringing him back.

Soon the country will as well.

We just have to wait until we pay $10 a gallon for gasoline.

A real coach gets attacked ...will he be able to stand up

Redskins defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio was questioned about his vocal support of President Trump and replied:

I am 100% for America, if you're not you can kiss my A$$

I saw this story at the so called conservative site The Daily Caller. In the article it is suggested that the coach should apologize and just shut up and coach. I know Tucker Carlson sold his interest but I didn't know it went all Fox News cuck surrender style. Another joint I will not be visiting anymore.

That is why I have joined the new app Parler. It is the conservative Twitter with many of the people who have been banned on Twitter on board. It is supposedly uncensored and 100% uncensored. We will see. 

I hope Coach Del Rio will stick to his guns. I don't follow the National Felons League anymore but I will look out for posts about the coach.

"Trump insults 'short and fat' (and nuclear-armed) Kim Jong Un"

Via MSN News: President Trump took time off from his morning in Vietnam to exchange insults with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

"Why would Kim Jong-un insult me by calling me 'old,'/ when I would NEVER call him 'short and fat?'" Trump said during a Sunday morning tweet storm in Hanoi that included a defense of his recent meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Trump added: "Oh well, I try so hard to be his friend - and maybe someday that will happen!"

What do you think is the Trump strategery here?

"Twitter users are reporting Trump's account for 'threatening violence' against North Korea"

Via Drudge:  Can a president be suspended from Twitter for threatening to attack another country?

That's what some Twitter users, including actor and former Barack Obama aide Kal Penn, are demanding, after President Trump tweeted Friday morning that U.S. "military solutions are now fully in place, locked and loaded, should North Korea act unwisely."

Critics of the president's tweet say the rhetoric reflects a threat of violence against North Korea that violates Twitter's rules and terms of service.

"Seems pretty clear that you can't threaten mass murder via nuclear war, right @twitter? Asking for 7.4 billion friends," tweeted Penn, along with a screenshot of Twitter's terms of service.

It is still unclear whether Twitter intends to act on requests for Trump's account to be suspended. Twitter declined to comment on the matter, citing a company policy not to discuss individual accounts "for privacy and security reasons."

Twitter stock may not be in good shape; live streaming may help revive

"Twitter is "toast" as a company and the stock is not even worth $10, according to a research note published Tuesday, following the departure of another top executive at the social media service.

..."Many investors were foolishly building (an) investment thesis based on complete stupidity," Chowdhry wrote.

Twitter's share price closed at $17.92 on Tuesday. A $10 price tag would represent a more than 44 percent decline in the U.S. technology company's shares on Tuesday's closing price. It's not the first time that Chowdhry has said that Twitter could fall to $10. In October, the analyst said that next year, the fall is likely to take place.

The analyst said that Twitter's data quality is "horrible". Chowdhry said that many pollsters used Twitter data to predict a Hillary Clinton win in the U.S. election but the fact that Donald Trump won shows that data quality is poor. One reason for this is too many fake users on the platform, Chowdhry claims."

Twitter is Shadow Banning me again...

From Google:

Stealth banning (also called Shadow banning and Hell banning) is a practice used by some online community managers to block content added by spammers and Internet trolls, as well as other individuals whose interests do not coincide with the managers'.
Stealth banning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If you check my timeline from last night there was no reason to pick me off, like abusive or hateful language. The only reason why they are doing it is out of rank partisan disagreement.

The monotony of being Anita

I wondered, "What do you even look like?" This person who parlays a perfectly crap and truly dangerous education into cash. And good cash too. And when I saw for myself and looked through all the images allowing them to take hold something happened, I connected, I felt something disturbing and I realized what it is like to remove one's eyebrows and draw new ones on every day. Psychologically I put myself there and felt what it's like. Every day new eyebrows over the obliterated original ones. And I thought further, and this is really mean, I can do the same thing, draw little eyebrows on my bell end and have a similar result and it turned out like this. 

#SOTU

I didn't watch.

It's not pride in not knowing, it's pride in not watching. A lot of people are 100 X smarter about politics, so here is my Twitter feed on the subject. They want their observation broadcast, they used the tag #SOTU.

And they do go on.

Barack Obama's Twitter account, SOTU

"Hackers trace ISIS Twitter accounts back to internet addresses linked to Department of Work and Pensions."

Mirror: Hackers have claimed that a number of Islamic State supporters' social media accounts are being run from internet addresses linked to the Department of Work and Pensions.

A group of four young computer experts who call themselves VandaSec have unearthed evidence indicating that at least three ISIS-supporting accounts can be traced back to the DWP's London offices.

"Don't you think that's strange?" one of the hackers asked Mirror Online. "We traced these accounts back to London, the home of the British intelligence services." ...when Mirror Online traced the IP addresses obtained by VandaSec, we found they actually pointed to a series of unpublicised transactions between Britain and Saudi Arabia.

The Cabinet Office has now admitted to selling the IP addresses on to Saudi Telecom and the Saudi-based Mobile Telecommunications Company earlier this year as part of a wider drive to get rid of a large number of the DWP's IP addresses.

It said the British government can have no control over how these addresses are used after the sale.

"Twitter shuts down 30 sites..."

"... dedicated to saving politicians' deleted tweets"

"Imagine how nerve-racking — terrifying, even — tweeting would be if it was immutable and irrevocable?" Twitter reportedly told the OSF. "No one user is more deserving of that ability than another. Indeed, deleting a tweet is an expression of the user’s voice."

The US arm of Politwoops was shut down in June this year, but this new decision affects countries all over the world including Canada, Egypt, India, Ireland, South Korea, Tunisia, Turkey, Norway, and the UK. The Diplotwoops site, dedicated to archiving deleted tweets from diplomats, was also shut down, with the OSF noting that all the accounts had been "extensively used and cited by journalists around the world." The organization's director, Arjan El Fassed, commented: "What politicians say in public should be available to anyone. This is not about typos, but it is a unique insight on how messages from elected politicians can change without notice."

The cozy relationship between governments and big communication businesses is stronger than ever.

"US military pilots complain hands tied in ‘frustrating’ fight against ISIS"

Making the world safe for ISIS...

U.S. military pilots carrying out the air war against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria are voicing growing discontent over what they say are heavy-handed rules of engagement hindering them from striking targets.

They blame a bureaucracy that does not allow for quick decision-making. One Navy F-18 pilot who has flown missions against ISIS voiced his frustration to Fox News, saying: "There were times I had groups of ISIS fighters in my sights, but couldn't get clearance to engage.”

He added, “They probably killed innocent people and spread evil because of my inability to kill them. It was frustrating." (read more)

Meanwhile, The Free Beacon reports Al Qaeda in Syria is "Tweeting Jihad to Over 200,000 Followers"

Though al Qaeda’s ongoing operations have taken a backseat to the exploits of IS, the group founded by Osama bin Laden is thriving on Twitter, according to MEMRI.

“It should be noted that as Twitter’s removal of accounts on its platform linked to the Islamic State (ISIS) has gotten a lot of attention, accounts belonging to many other Designated Terrorist Organizations, notably to Jabhat Al-Nusra (JN), Al-Qaeda’s branch in Syria that was designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the U.S. State Department in December 2012, have not received any attention, and its many accounts, which have a total of over 200,000 followers, are thriving,” MEMRI wrote in a recent report.

“This is another reminder of Twitter’s failure to effectively address this issue and its lack of a true strategy for doing so,” the group concluded.

"How many of you know the name of the corner store manager Mike Brown grabbed by the throat?"

'Why don't you?"

One of several tweets interrogating Wesley Lowery, writer for Washington Post that nettles him as taunting. He's had it. Blocked the taunting followers and calls them stalkers for reading his posts. He's taken his argument Tumbler here, showing the screenshots of taunting tweets and responding. At the end of it some dozen + Tumbler followers "Like this" Wesley Lowery's response.

Since Twitter troll now stalks my tumblr, some responses:

 

1. every reporter i know who was initially in Ferguson tried to speak with the store owner - he’s lawyered up and won’t talk. I’ve followed up with the attorney several times (most recently two weeks ago - will follow up again today), no dice. 

2. For the record: The store owner was not the person shown in the video being grabbed by Brown, that is another employee.  

Someone let this guy know his media criticism is no more accurate in 2015 than it was in 2014.

That almost sounds reasonable, doesn't it?

But logic come as naturally to Wesley Lowery as consistent capitalization, as they do to his beholden followers over there on Tumbler who "like this."  Apparently he does not see how his response demonstrates the points made by the vexing taunting stalking questioners.

Let the vexing, taunting, stalking question be restated then, since Wesley Lowery is so impossible on the uptake:

Does anyone know the name of the employee that Michael Brown grabbed by the throat?  And, why don't you?

And now that the question is restated for the hard of understanding and its response predicted, did every reporter Wesley Lowery knows who was initially in Ferguson try to speak with the employee that Michael Brown throttled?  Is he lawyered up too, does the employee refuse to talk too? If so, have you followed up with his attorneys?

Finally, stop telling people to do what you can do easily enough yourself. Let the guy know his his media criticism is just as accurate in 2015 as it was in 2014 and that you, Wesley Lowery, are just as thick now as then. They haven't blocked you as you have them. And stop trying to bullshit us. That only works on your fellow traveler race baiting liberals.

“I’ll ride with you” story was a complete fake?

"Surprise! Woman who started viral “I’ll ride with you” story admits it was a complete fake"

I saw a woman on the train start to fiddle with her headscarf.

Confession time. In my Facebook status, I editorialised. She wasn’t sitting next to me. She was a bit away, towards the other end of the carriage. Like most people she had been looking at her phone, then slowly started to unpin her scarf.

Tears sprang to my eyes and I was struck by feelings of anger, sadness and bitterness. It was in this mindset that I punched the first status update into my phone, hoping my friends would take a moment to think about the victims of the siege who were not in the cafe.

I spent the rest of the journey staring—rudely—at the back of her uncovered head. I wanted to talk to her, but had no idea what to say. Anything that came to mind seemed tokenistic and patronising. She might not even be Muslim or she could have just been warm! Besides, I was in the “quiet carriage” where even conversation is banned.

By sheer fluke, we got off at the same station, and some part of me decided saying something would be a good thing. Rather than quiz her about her choice of clothing, I thought if I simply offered to walk her to her destination, it might help.

It’s hard to describe the moment when humans, and complete strangers, have a conversation with no words. I wanted to tell her I was sorry for so many things—for overstepping the mark, for making assumptions about a complete stranger and for belonging to a culture where racism was part of her everyday experience.

But none of those words came out, and our near silent encounter was over in a moment.

My second status was written as a heartbreaking postscript to my first. While the woman appeared to appreciate my gesture, we had both left defeated and deflated. What good is one small action against an avalanche of ignorance?

Hours later, social media showed me good people can create their own avalanche of kindness.

So, the woman’s head scarf may not have been a hijab, and she may not have been a Muslim, and she may not have been self-conscious about riding the train. All of that was pure bleeding-heart fantasy from a university professor who wanted some attention online.

And boy, did she get it!

Twitter spam may induce mental problems in those susceptible to psychosis

"The symptoms began around eight months before Mrs C came to the hospital. Two months prior, she had begun to use Twitter "excessively", and before then she had never experienced any form of psychosis and there was no family history of mental illness. She spent several hours a day reading and writing on the microblogging platform, "neglecting her social relationships and, sometimes, even meals and regular sleeping hours".

The [Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease] paper reports how it all began when Mrs C believed a famous actor had responded to her messages using symbols and the retweets of other users. This accelerated into the formation, in her mind, of covert commands for her to 
carry out specific tasks.

...After recovering, the subject suggested that a variety of other factors had contributed to her deterioration, including professional problems and no stable romantic relationship, which gave her an "overall insecurity that aggravated the symptoms"

The doctors suggested, however, that something else had contributed: Twitter spam.

The team suggested this after doing a few spam tests themselves. Namely, they tweeted at science writer Ben Goldacre. The message the team got back, not from Goldacre, but from a spam account, read: '"@Gour username9 Cold blooded RT. XXX: I am in the church: Ga link9."' Which apparently constitute "strong, personal words". Combined with the fact it was directed at the original sender, messages like these could feel arresting for a vulnerable individual.

"The authors understood that this was a spam message, but this might not be the case for a person who is predisposed to psychosis and, in addition, in a stressful psychosocial situation," write the team.

"The authors believe that the amount of symbolic language (caused by the limitation of 140 characters per Twitter message), the automated spam responses with seemingly related content, and the general interactive features of Twitter might combine several aspects that could induce or further aggravate psychosis."

..."We believe that there is a difference [between] something that is unidirectional, like a TV show, and something that is interactive, like Twitter," Kalbitzer told us. "In particular the fact that spam bots on Twitter are, to a certain degree 'intelligent', means they send you ads according to your behaviour or message content. That would be [the same] as if you put on lipstick at home, and suddenly the guy on TV starts to talk about how old fashioned the colour you use is.""

"US Airways tweets graphic photo of nude woman to customers, then apologizes"

"A photo of a naked woman lying exposed on a bed with a toy plane between her legs was publicly shared by the airline late Monday afternoon while responding to disgruntled customers who were angry about a recent flight delay."

The extremely graphic image sent to one Twitter user came with the caption: "We welcome feedback, Elle. If your travel is complete, you can detail it here for review and follow-up."

Instead of a link matching that description, however, it was a link to the photo.

It was soon deleted on the airlines' Twitter feed before replaced with an apology.

"We apologize for an inappropriate image recently shared as a link in one of our responses. We've removed the tweet and are investigating," it read.

Hilarity ensued...

"CNN’s Don Lemon: ‘Is It Preposterous’ to Think a Black Hole Caused Flight 370 to Go Missing?"

"CNN’s Don Lemon has been entertaining all sorts of theories about the missing Malaysian Airlines Flight 370, including the chance something “supernatural” happened, but on Wednesday night, he actually asked panelists about the possibility a black hole was involved."

"Lemon brought this up along with other “conspiracy theories” people have been floating on Twitter, including people noting the eerie parallels to Lost and The Twilight Zone, and wondered, “is it preposterous” to consider a black hole as a possibility?"

JP Morgan announces a scheduled Q/A for the public on Twitter

And the questions come pouring in.

JP Morgan twitter account is a joy to read. That is just the beginning. It goes on and on and on. The "back to the drawing board" announcement expands so much it takes screen after screen, I dare not attempt copying it. The calumny on JP Morgan's Twitter  begins with "Pussies."
