Painted Into A Corner

The problem with selling a big lie is that you have to keep adding more and more lies to shore it up, and eventually somebody digs out just one truth that takes the whole structure down.  I saw a little kid do this, back in grade-school, when he played hooky from school and then had to create an excuse to his teacher the next day, so he said his mother had been hit by a car and was in the hospital.  The teacher called his home address, got the boy's father who was home for lunch, and asked about the accident.  Since the mother was actually out shopping, the father knew nothing about this and got considerably upset, and began phoning the local hospitals.  The hospitals called the police.  I forget what stories the kid came up with to get around that, but by the end of the day the kid had a lot of explaining to do.

I'm reminded of that by the amazing stuff we're seeing from the Democrat-supporting media these days.  Consider: a lunatic in New Zealand shot up a local mosque, mentioned Trump exactly once in his published manifesto (saying only that he liked Trump as a "symbol of renewed identity", but as for his policies: "Dear God, no!"), whereby the news media happily blamed Trump's "rhetoric" for the massacre.

How did they explain that?  By claiming that Trump "covers and excuses White Supremacy".  Never mind that Trump has never said anything in favor of White Supremacy;  no, he's somehow supposed to be giving "dog whistles" to White Supremacists with everything he says.  How does that work?  Why, because Trump supporters are all White Supremacists, of course!  Millions of adults voted for Trump;  therefore there's a "huge surge in White Supremacy throughout America".  Where's the evidence for this?  Claims from, if you please, the Southern Poverty Law Center -- which, incidentally, makes its considerable money from donations under the excuse of "fighting White Supremacy in America".  Uhuh.

If you bother to go to the FBI's website and look up its annual Uniform Crime Reports statistics, you'll see that the numbers of "white supremacist" groups, and their members, are minuscule.  According to the FBI, there are maybe 100 real neo-Nazis in the entire US, not counting their nearly 20 FBI infiltrators.  There are maybe 500 real Ku Klux Klansmen in the country, likewise not counting their FBI watchers.  The number of Black Nationalist groups, and members, is immensely larger.  As for "hate crimes", the vast majority of religious hate-crimes are aimed at Jews.  Of hate-crimes targeting Muslims in the last five years, half turned out to be hoaxes, and the other half were committed by other Muslims.  The single group found committing the majority of "hate crimes" is the Muslims.

It's no surprise that the FBI no longer lists the SPLC as a "reliable source", and no longer links to it on the FBI website.

The Threat of White Supremacists is a hoax, created and inflated by the liberal/Democrat-sympathizing media for political reasons.  It's part and parcel of the anything-to-get-Trump nuttiness we've seen the Democrats pushing for the last several months, from the blatant Jew-hatred of their new federal Representatives, through the Green New Deal, to Rep. Jackson Lee's new demand for "reparations for slavery" from all Americans to exclusively Black Americans.  The passionate ideological craziness is alienating more voters every day -- accusing everyone who doesn't vote for you of being a potentially-murderous neo-Nazi is not the way to win sympathizers -- but the Democrats don't seem to be able to stop.

How long can they keep painting themselves into a corner like this?  Already, cracks are appearing in the facade.  Minor news outlets are noticing that, during the same week as the New Zealand massacre, Muslim extremists in Nigeria massacred several hundred Christians -- which none of the major news media covered.  Direct news coverage of the New Zealand is being censored, to the point where a local teenager has been arrested and threatened with 14 years in jail for video-streaming on-the-spot footage of the massacre  --  which showed details contrary to the police reports -- and that news is beginning to spread.  CNN hosted a Muslim journalist, Dr. Qanta Ahmed, to denounce Trump's "role" in the New Zealand massacre, but instead she claimed that: "Viewers should know that this president and this administration is often castigated as Islamophobic, but I move in the Muslim world -- where this president... and the Republican Party, going back to George Bush, is very dearly held" largely because of the overthrow of Saddam Hussein and the continuing war against ISIS.  Oops.

Not even in North Korea does the govt. has such a stranglehold on all information as to keep the truth from getting around.  The image of America as full of fascist-White-Supremacists is beginning to break already, and the pushers thereof are losing credibility fast.  But how can the Democrats get themselves out of the corner they've painted themselves into?  They'd have to deny so very much that they've already preached, and how can they pull that off without losing the rest of their own base?

My hope is that the majority of the voters will follow my suggestion.  "A plague on both their houses; vote Libertarian."
