Might Be Bugs On Some Of You Lugs But There Ain't No Bugs On ONT

Howdy 'rons and 'ettes! How are things this evening? Any of y'all on your way to Corsicana yet?

The Enemy Within

Nolte: Ferguson II – Media Spread Hamas Hospital Hoax to Create More Violence

“Evil.” “Corrupt.” “Wicked.” “Dishonest.” Many words accurately describe the corporate media. Two words no one can use are “stupid” or “gullible.”

Oh, the stupid corporate media fell for the Hamas lies about Israel bombing a hospital.
No.
Good heavens, wake up.
No one with an IQ over 50 is “gullible” or “stupid” enough to fall for something that comes from the mouth of Hamas, of godless terrorists who less than two weeks ago committed the cold-blooded slaughter of nearly 1,500 innocent Israeli civilians.
No one in the corporate media — and I do mean no one — believed the same people who, less than two weeks ago, shot the heads off of babies, executed a massacre at a peace festival, raped women, desecrated corpses, and killed parents in front of their young children.

FACT: The corporate media did not believe Hamas — let me assure you of that. The truth is much, much more troubling than gullible, and the truth is this…
The corporate media are in the business of violence against Western Civilization, and right now, business is good. Violence equals ratings, which equals profits. Better still, violence furthers the far-left Cause. The Gaza Hospital Hoax was what the media call a two-fer.

This is something that has bothered me for quite a while. We don't have a media in this country, we have a propaganda operation, the scope of which would put the wildest dreams of Joseph Goebbels to shame. The idea of a representative democracy as a valid form of government rests on the cornerstone of an informed electorate, and the mechanism to achieve this was supposed to be a neutral press, combined with an educated populace. Now I know those are ideals that haven't always been lived up to, but today we have the exact opposite. We have a deliberately miseducated population being spoon fed lie after lie after lie, lies designed to confirm the bias that has been miseducated into them. Look at these kids:

How many of these kids know that Gaza is not in any way “occupied”, that they've has self rule, free of Israel, for the better part of 2 decades? How many know that Israel left behind infrastructure and industry so that Gaza could be self-supporting, and that the Gazians destroyed it because it was tainted by Jewish hands? How many of them know that the Hamas charter specifically calls for genocide of the Jews, and that is what their chant means? “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” doesn't mean that it will be a free nation, it means that it will be free of Jews.

And even if you could sit them down and explain all of that, and if they accepted it, how many of them would look at the conflict the the lens (as they've been taught) of “wealthy white (here Jews get to be white for once) society and poorer brown one, the whites MUST be oppressing the browns. The brown have the right to fight free of oppression.”

How many of you have talked to “normies” (by this I mean people who are not deeply plugged into any type of political forum. They don't read Ace of Spades, they read ESPN. They don't read Twitter, they talk to friends on Facebook. They glance at headlines but don't really read articles unless they're waiting in the dentist's office. In short, normal people living their lives. Most people, in other words) and been shocked at what they don't know, and at what they casually assume is true? The J6 folks were a violent mob, and BLM wasn't. Gaza is occupied by Israel. Kyle went hunting at a protest against racism and brutally murdered 2 innocent people. George Floyd was an innocent targeted by police and not a violent career thug. Approximately 40% of the population is gay. Hundreds of innocent, unarmed black men are gunned down by the police each year (in reality it averages about 11). And on and on.

Now these aren't positions that they will fight you on, because they are not strongly held, and in fact when you show them evidence to the contrary, most will say “Huh. I did not know that”, but these are the background assumptions that they live under.

And I don't know we successfully push back against this.

A Broken Clock Is Right Twice A Day

Sarah Silverman Comes Out AGAINST Hamas, Learns the Hard Way What Her Party REALLY Thinks of Jews

I absolutely can not STAND Sarah Silverman. She's the poster child for the entitled, arrogant , Hollywood limousine liberal. As such, I hope she's absolutely crushed at finding out where “her side” really stands. But good on her for saying the right thing.

Racist Or The Opposite?

I don't know what this is from, but I'm pretty sure it's from the 80s. And today we would say that it's racist af. But is it? As far as I can tell, they're mocking everybody. And if you're treating everyone the same, than it's pretty much the opposite of racism by definition.

Think about how you treat your friends who belong to a “different” group. Do you tease and razz each other in a manner that might cause offense to a stranger? Of course you do, and it's wonderful. I think those things were much more widely accepted in the 80s, and society as a whole is conditioned to take offense at the drop of a hat today. So which is it? Horribly racist, or wonderfully equalizing?

And that's all I have, unfortunately. My computer rebooted this evening while I was eating dinner, and for some reason when I opened the browser where I had all of the ONT content stashed, it would not allow me to recover tabs. This is what I found in a frantic search for content at the last minute.

Tonight's ONT has been brought to you by idiots:
