Lies We Want To Believe

Google yellow journalism. I dare you.

Back in the 19th century, two newspaper men, Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst, both devout Democrats, were well known to report exaggerations and lies as authentic news.  Because papers like theirs often used yellow ink, their type of outright fake news was labeled "yellow journalism".  So, to be clear, yellow journalism is fake news and the term was created in response to two bastions of the Democratic Party lying their asses off.

Let that sink in.  However much you hate FOX, Democrats lie TOO.

Here's the rub though. Long before these two clowns made up a bunch of BS to up their sales, journalists have been lying to us.  Google fake news. I dare you.  There wasn't an honest reporter in sight for centuries.

Pulitzer and Hearst may have given yellow journalism a name, but they didn't invent it.  Sensationalism has always sold and in order to get that level of sellable sensationalism, the media has always lied.

Now, there was a brief period of outrage after Pulitzer and Hearst were called out, but it wasn't a large enough outrage that it impacted the way media handles the truth. If anything, the mainstream press just made their lying more discreet.  They still continued to lie though.  Eventually, the public forgot about Pulitzer and Hearst and the media got bolder in their lying.  Now no one remembers what yellow journalism is, but that's all you see from MSM today.

Golden shower gate? Russia hacked the election? Anderson Cooper's eye roll while interviewing a Republican spokesperson?  All yellow journalism and no one noticed.

It's hard to give MSM the benefit of the doubt when they keep lying to us.  4chan, source of golden shower gate, ADMITTED PUBLICLY that they made the whole thing up.  No one at CNN or MSNBC or any of the other stations who ran with it, admitted they didn't get proof the story was legit.  No, in the case of CNN they CONTINUED to run the lie as though it was real only adding "sources say" to make it seem more legit.  In other words, they knew they were lying, didn't see a problem maintaining the lie (because they don't like Trump) and the idiot public didn't call them on it.

Benghazi. Benghazi. Benghazi.

We all know when cops are douchebags, they're equal opportunity douchebags.  There is case after case of unarmed people who are not black being gunned down by cops of various colors, but there's no outrage.  MSM doesn't cover the truth about police brutality because it doesn't fit the white people are evil and black people are still oppressed narrative.  They will give massive airtime to a KKK rally of 20 and claim it was a large and violent crowd while a Black Lives Matter rally of hundreds chanting they want to kill cops and attacking random white people along their march gets no coverage at all.  And when police brutality allows an indigenous girl to be denied medical treatment and said girl dies while in custody? That just isn't as important as a black woman with a history of mental illness committing suicide.

Let that hypocrisy sink in and then ask yourself why.  WHAT are they trying to sell you?  WHY are they lying?  Why do they want to start a race war?

I have my theories. I've covered them in other blogs and will probably cover them in future blogs so for now, I'll let you ponder that on your own, but understand this.  Journalism is about making money.  Journalists tell you the stories they are PAID to tell you.  The truth is irrelevant.  MSM is propaganda for the rich people who own the industry.  That's why they have editors to cherry pick what's newsworthy and what isn't. Control the information, convince the public what you want them to think, control the public.

They're CONTROLLING you.

It's important to understand the difference in sources.  When a news story has a named, verifiable source that can be held accountable if the information provided is false and the reported only lists the facts as presented, then it's factual news reporting.  It's saying this is the person I got this from and here are the facts as presented to me for you to form your own opinion. That's the journalism taught in school.  When a news story quotes an unnamed source whose information cannot be independently verified and no one can be held accountable for, then that is a RUMOR being reported as fact.  When the reporter tells you their opinion of the rumor, that is FAKE NEWS.  And THAT'S the journalism as it's presented to us, the public.

Unamed sources = making shit up.  It's that easy to do.

I encourage everyone to get their news from multiple sources, but take it a step further.  Whatever the story is, get several different takes on it.  When CNN says Trump is an alien, go see what FOX says.  Then go see what they're saying in other countries, both countries who like the US and hate the US.  Then pick out the parts where all the stories match.  That will be the closest thing to the truth you're going to get.

The news is answering who, what when, where and how.  Why, if it isn't a direct quote that can be verified, is subjective.  The media has lied. They will continue to lie.

You have to be smart enough to rise above it.

Angry Gay Man Syndrome

I don't care what the issue is or where you are discussing it, the minute the angry gay man enters the conversation, civility ends.

So there was a forum where they were saying the Christian Bible never said homosexuality was a sin and it was ok to be Christian and gay and Christians who disagreed were wrong.  Well, as someone who's actually read the Bible, I know for a fact that isn't what it says and that certainly isn't how it's taught.  I said as much and even gave a specific verse to prove it. Oh muh God. Was I trolled.

They called me a liar.  They called me a bigot. They told me I was ignorant and should be ashamed of myself.  I responded by explaining to them that Christian ideology has made its opinions of homosexuality very clear and that Christian ideology and homosexual ideology simply don't go hand in hand.  Some churches may allow gays to attend, but, if a church follows the teachings of the Bible, your fellow parishioners are praying you accept Jesus and stop being gay.

That's just the truth.  Christianity teaches homosexuality is a sin.  Cuz it says so in the Bible.

But I set off a chain of angry gay men attacking me not because I said homosexuality was a sin (because I didn't) but because I said Christianity views homosexuality as a sin.  Let that sink in.

See, whether they want to admit it or not, some of the most hateful and vitriolic statements of the LGBT rights debate comes from gay people. Not the Christians they condemn.  Full blown SJW bullshit.

BLM thinks all white people are racist. Feminazis think all men are sexist. Pro lifers think anyone who questions abortion is against gender equality and every gay man thinks all straight people are homophobes.  So much so that they make an assumption about you for simply making a statement about Christianity. 

There's no reasoning with an Social Justice Warrior.  They are so narcissistic that they simply will not accept a difference of opinion.  There's no questioning their ideas because if you don't say just the right things and agree with them 100 percent, you are their enemy.

Fucking hypocrites.

Universal healthcare is crap. Here's why.

MY MOM HAS LOCKJAW AND MEDICAID WON'T PAY FOR THE SURGERY BECAUSE IT'S "COSMETIC".

Fuck Medicaid. My mom can't open her mouth and since humans need to eat to survive, this is a health problem. Not cosmetic.  But we want Medicaid for everyone, right? Universal healthcare or bust!

The truth about healthcare is that greed ruins everything. Nationalized healthcare is no better than Medicaid. You pay taxes for crappy service while the rich can afford the better service you get from private doctors who over charge so the poor can't afford them.  Before you fight for NHS in the US, talk to people who have experience in those systems. We're an immigrant nation. Lots of Canadians rather live here. Find one. Talk to them.

Obama lied to us. His plan didn't help us the way it was supposed to. The way he promised us it would. For every 1 person who benefited from Obamacare, there's 10 more who paid for something they couldn't use. That's just the truth if it. The law needs massive tweeking.

And here's the rub. It never will be better.  They'll make changes, but politicians like getting money from rich people so those changes will be designed to appease the rich people who give them money.  Billionaires who own insurance companies give politicians money.  Pharma bro gives politicians money.  Their voice matters more than ours.

Healthcare is over priced. THAT'S the issue that needs solving.  We SHOULD NOT NEED to pay a third party middle man to help cover our medical costs.  If not for greed, we'd be able to afford them on our own. Insurance is a scam.

But nationalized healthcare isn't going to solve any of our healthcare woes. Greed will still exist. Prices will go up and government cost cutting will mean the poor continue to get the shaft.

A healthy diet and exercise is the best thing we can do.  They try to make this hard for us because they want us sick so we have to use their healthcare and they can continue to get rich off of us, but we just have to outsmart them. If you aren't limiting your doctor visits to emergencies only, you're just contributing to the problem.

We have to force these greedy bastards to accommodate us.  The only way to do that is with our buying power.  Make them beg us to use their service.

Good luck. Watch this video.

The Wrong Side of History

Anyone who feels compelled to constantly remind you that THEY'RE on the right side of history while YOU'RE not, is with 99% probability NOT on the right side of anything.

History is written by both the winners and the losers and the 2 sides very rarely are honest with their accounts. This is why white Southerners know the Civil War was also about an over reaching government but downplay the significance of slavery and white Northerners think the Civil War was solely over slavery. Both a hatred over big government and whether or not slavery was ok fostered the Civil War, but very few admit that it was BOTH.  Those that do? Ostracized.

And now we have SJWs demanding that racist white America erase all memorials to the confederacy or else and Southerners moaning about how unfair whiping out their heritage is.  No one understands the purpose of monuments.

They're not to celebrate. They're to REMEMBER.  If there's one time in American history we don't need to forget, it's the time when we almost died as a nation over bipartisan bullshit.

It's ok to take monuments down, but put them in museums so our children can learn about WHY we took them down. Don't just erase white history because you don't like white people. The confederacy built the South and there's nothing wrong with acknowledging that and even having a statue or two so that passersbys can be REMINDED of those times and HOW FAR WE'VE COME since then.

I don't care how great you think your own ancestors were.  Mine contributed just as much to the founding of this country.  We didn't take credit for what you built.  We designed it.  You're a racist asshat if you think that doesn't matter.

Also recognize that freedom means people have a right to own, fly, wear, masturbate to, etc all the confederate flags they want. America, you asshats.

These monuments represent history.  You can't just rewrite history to fit that anti white propganda you so desperately want to believe.  Racist, asshats.

But another note.  Mark my words, those who are so quick to destroy any memory of the confederacy.  Your day will come.

This country will be majority hispanic in 30 years. We have an ever increasing Muslim population. We have white guilt that leads us to complacency and an out of control need to destroy America in the name of "diversity".  Understand that there will come a time when YOU are no longer relevant.  YOUR ideas will be obsolete.  YOU will be condemned for YOUR actions.  BLM, folks.

ONE DAY YOU WILL BE FORGOTTEN.

One day, a century from now, some future generation will tear down all the monuments to MLK and Malcolm X.  Those monuments won't be needed anymore. They'll be too racist. Too controversial.  Future generations will tear down your monuments and put up their own.

And you're children and grandchildren will not like it anymore than the white Southerners you're condemning now do.

Think about that.

Man has been building monuments for centuries. Most of them were taken down.  You can pretend eradicating any reference to the confederacy is a victory, but it's a short lived victory.  One day, it'll be your turn.

Asshats.

The Casual Prayer

If there's one thing that drives me crazy about church, it's the people who only go because they feel obligated.  That's not what your church time is for.  You're supposed to be communing with the Lord and that's something you should WANT to do.  Not something you feel forced to do.

I know we're supposed to spend time with God every day, but let's be honest. We live busy lives and left to our own devices, we are weak minded enough to forget.  That's why we still go to church.  Not because it's something God wants us to do but because we need the reminder and the dedicated time to think about God and what He expects for us.

I can't stand the people who are only good Christians on Sunday and lie about it.  The ones who only go to Life Group or teach Sunday school and never stay for worship or the ones who go through the whole process but can't wait to go home and watch the game.

What are you really doing to grow in your faith?  Are you ministering to your neighbors? When is the last time you participated in an Agape meal?  Do you tithe?  Do you read your Bible at home?

Or are you putting on a good show to maintain your reputation in the church community?

A lot of people are missing the point.  You're the casual prayer, the casual Christian.  You aren't doing God's will.  You're going through the motions to save face or because everyone else is or because you were trained to as a child and never thought about it.

When you were baptized, did you really accept Jesus as your personal savior? Or did you only do it to be accepted into the church?  Baptism isn't a gang initiation.  Unless you're serious about dedicating your life to God, don't bother.

I struggle with this myself. We all do.  Some days I don't feel well. Some days external forces prevent me from going.  And some days I do forgot to pray.  I'm human.  I'm fallible.  No matter how many Bible versus we memorize, we're all children in the faith until we meet God face to face. I want to do better.

And I want anyone who reads this to do better.  Don't pretend you're pious when you're not.  Or why bother going to church at all?  Jesus only saves those who come to Him.

No none comes to Jesus who doesn't really want to.  Truth.

Please want to.

The Russians Made Me Do It

I'm not sure how I feel about Jeff Sessions but I do know how I feel about the Washington Post.  They keep trying to convince us Russia hacked our election and people believe them without question.

But they SHOULD question it.

Just because the media says it's telling the truth, doesn't mean it is.  Just because the Washington Post claims Sessions talked to a Russian ambassador while still a senator, doesn't mean he helped Russia rig our election.  Senators talk to foreign governments.  That's kinda what our government is supposed to do.  Obama sold weapons to Iran, weapons ISIS is now using agsinst us.  What's your point?

Once again we have a liberally biased newspaper printing a story about someone liberals don't like anyway doing something bad and once again their only proof is "sources" and supposedly a "report".  Neither of which can be proven to be REAL.

Here's the problem I have with the media.  I KNOW YOU LIE NOW. You lied your asses off during the campaign.  Golden shower gate?  That was a lie YOU ran as news EVEN after 4 Chan admitted they made it up.  Donna Brazil leaking debate questions to Hillary?  Not to mention all the times you refused to report police brutality when the victim wasn't black.  They way you refused to report what was happening at Standing Rock or even acknowledge Bernie Sanders was running for president too.  You've proven yourself to be less than honest. You no longer have the luxury of using anonymous sources and expecting us to believe you.

Anonymous sources is journalist code for you have no proof and are probably making it up.

The public doesn't trust you and we WANT PROOF before we take your Russia hacked our election so please give the presidency to Hillary anyway narrative.  Only people who hate Trump and can't accept defeat are still running with that narrative.  They're the only ones stupid enough to take you at your word.

So, Washington Post, show us your sources, show us the report, provide evidence you didn't make it all up or suck my clit cuz I don't believe you.

The Protest Fad

Everyone who celebrates a celebrity making a political statement is a fucktard in the lowest esteem.  They don't care about YOU.  They're just following a fad so you'll buy their clothes, their music, watch their movies and go to their games.  All these "statements" are commercials for THEM.  No one who really cares lives in a mansion while a single child is going to bed hungry.

And you retarded asshats think you're on the side of justice.  The right side of history because you hate cis gendered white Christian males.  Oh do shut up.  You're just as guilty of following the protest fad as the celebrities flogging their wares.  You don't even know what you're protesting for.  You parrot soundbites.

You're incapable of debating the issues hence your destructive response to anyone who disagrees with you.  Milo anyone?  Most egregiously, for all your protesting, you've done NOTHING productive to solve any of the problems you claim to be fighting against.  You offer no solutions.  Only your hateful rhetoric and your signs and your violence.  You leave the heavy lifting to the very people you criticise.

You've had centuries to stand up to tyranny and you didn't.  You didn't care that the NSA were spying on you.  You didn't care that Reagan armed the Contras or Obama armed the Iranians.  You cared about Kardashians.

You didn't mind government over reach so much when you benefited from it.  When it brought you Obamacare and ostracized Christians.  You didn't care about our militarized police until you were told to care and then you believed half truths and out right lies rather than acknowledge you didn't have to be black to be a victim.

You accepted every lie the media fed you without the intelligence to research for yourself.  Your beliefs are based on those lies.  Based on what someone TOLD YOU TO BELIEVE.  You can't think for yourselves.

And as for oppression?  You aren't oppressed.  Someone told you you were.  You have never experienced real oppression.  You never once thought about the Native Americans until it was popular to do so.  Real oppression is getting shot in the face because some Islamists don't believe girls should go to school.  Or being abducted from your school and forced to marry a terrorist.  Or being jailed for speaking out against the government.  You can burn the flag here.  You can't in other countries. You are ALLOWED to protest.  Oppression my ass.

Poverty?  You don't know poverty.  Poverty is not having clean water.  Poverty is living under a tarp in a refugee camp.  Povery is billions of people in 3rd world countries you can't even name.  But you have the privilege of living in the west.  Hear me?  THE FUCKING PRIVILEGE.

You're hypocrites.  Blocking freeways, wearing vagina hats, smashing windows and attacking anyone whose opinion differs from yours.  Sitting out the anthem because some football player hates America.  Labeling everything that doesn't fit neatly into your narrative hate speech and anyone who doesn't bow down to your demands a racist.  Day without immigrants?  We did fine and you accomplished nothing.

You're not saving the world.  You're following a trend.  You're too stupid to save the world.

Fuck off.
