Saudi Scientists ‘Admit’… What?

You bet the headline floating around on Facebook caught my eye: “Saudi Science Panel Admits Women Are Mammals.” Gee, really? But it has turned out to be a hoax ( http://hoax-alert.leadstories.com/707062-panel-of-scientists-in-saudi-arabia-did-not-admit-women-are-mammals.html ).

In fact, what the panel really admitted was “the embarrassing state of Arab science” today. (http://english.alarabiya.net/en/perspective/features/2016/02/09/Embarrassing-state-of-Arab-science-probed-at-Al-Arabiya-English-WGS-panel.html) Well, they’re honest about that, at least: we can’t say as much for some of our own scientists here in the West, where Science is an idol. Our scientists ought to be embarrassed by their continual hopping into bed with politicians to push their Save The Planet from Man-Made Climbit Change hoax.

The panel was part of a World Government Summit–devilment afoot, you can depend upon it–at Dubai.

At the summit, United Arab Emirates scientists revealed their plans to send a mission to Mars by 2020. They can afford to hire top scientists to carry out the project.

In fairness, the problem with Arab scientists is that they flee to Western countries where they don’t have to worry about some mullahs stoning them for being scientists. Read science news, and you’ll encounter Arab names. They just don’t live and work in Arab countries anymore.

Meanwhile, it’s refreshing to hear a panel of experts admit their science sucks. You’ll never hear Richard Dawkins admit he’s a boring dunderhead blinded by his fanatical atheism, any more than you’ll ever hear the Global Warming mob admit they’re shysters. We salute the panelists’ honesty!

New Charge Against Trump: Witchcraft!

Dr. Floyd Rubbish

An honored academic, Dr. Floyd Rubbish, Professor of Gender and Social Justice at Effing University, has accused President-elect Donald Trump of practicing witchcraft.

“I seen him when he thinked nobody was looking!” the professor told MSNBC Fake News. “And guess what he done! Well, first he turnt hisself into a rabbit, and then he turnt hisself back into Donald Trump, and then he climbed onto a broom and he flyed away!”

Having seen this scandalous phenomenon, Professor Rubbish immediately reported it to the Democrat National Committee, who passed it on to the FBI’s Partisan B.S. Unit. Rubbish was paid $75,000 by the DNC to cover his travel expenses. He has donated most of his gratuity to the Clinton Foundation.

Senator Chuck Waggon (D-Mordor) said Trump would now have to step down in favor of Hillary Clinton. “We’ve got him now!” drooled the Democrat Senator. “He’s not going to wiggle out of this one. And anyhow, Hillary will make a better witch, she’s had much more practice.”

Germany to Ban ‘Fake News’

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

It’s been over 70 years since Germans lived under a dictator; but they don’t seem to have lost their knack for it.

See, it’s just not possible that the German people might be just a tad disenchanted with Kaiser Angela Merkel’s totally insane policy of flooding the country with Muslim “asylum seekers” who then proceed to raise cain everywhere. Nope, they can’t possibly not like that. No, says Angie: it’s just “the public being manipulated by fake news and propaganda.” ( http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/german-lawmakers-want-ban-fake-news-1596488 )

And you know, you just know, a certain lame-duck president is banging his head against the wall for not thinking of doing up an executive order banning “fake news”–six months before the election, say.

What is “fake news”? It’s whatever The Government says it is. Angie’s CDU Party is pushing legislation right now to outlaw “fake news” on the social media. She has an election coming soon, and she doesn’t want the voters to read unflattering things about her.

So far all the fuhrer–er, furor!–has been about “fake news on the social media.” Like you never see fake news on the big fat “mainstream” nooze media? What, never? Twelve-minute break for belly laughs.

And what if a conscientious journalist–hey, stop laughing!–in spite of his best efforts, gets a story wrong? Is it fake news? And if exactly the same story is published by Alex Jones on Infowars, and on the front page of The New York Times, why is it fake on Infowars and legit on the Times?

The beauty of authoritarian government is, you just don’t have to bother with a lot of pesky questions. You just go ahead and do it, whatever it is. You want to bring in a million more Muslims, all of them lawless men of military age, just just do it. And if it kills your country, so what? You’re much more interested in a one-world government, anyhow.

But first you have to control the flow of information.

If you can control what people know, you can control what people think.

Vintage Fake News: The Ford Pinto Scandal

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Democrats in America, and left-wing loons in Europe, are lustily singing the blues, these days, over “fake news” that supposedly has tricked the people in their countries into falling out of love with their DeLuxe Globalist Fun-Pak of open borders, perpetual expansion of the government, and the invention of assorted thought crimes that need to be punished by the government. They’re pressuring Facebook and other social media, and lobbying for new laws against “fake news.”

“Fake news” is, it seems, news that is not provided by the Left’s bought-and-paid-for henchmen in the “mainstream” (LOL) nooze media–which has been cranking out phony, misleading, and just plain lying nooze for decades. While few noozies can hope to match the towering lies told by The New York Times’ Walter Duranty in defense of Josef Stalin’s workers’ paradise in Russia, he has had more imitators than you can shake a stick at.

A really big piece of journalistic fraud, now mostly forgotten, was the “exploding Ford Pinto” reportage of the 1970s which, before it was exposed as fraud, spawned journalistic attacks on other car companies ( http://www.fordpinto.com/index.php?page=228 ). Man, they all climbed aboard! NBC, CBS, and ABC. Dateline. 60 Minutes. 20/20–all the major nooze shows were accusing auto manufacturers of selling cars they knew to be death-traps.

And they had exploding car video to prove it. Exploding car video obtained by installing incendiary devices in cars and blowing them up on purpose, sabotaging brakes, drilling holes in the transmission–all sorts of little journalistic tricks designed to get the kind of video the noozies wanted.Even the National Highway Traffic Safety Board chided the alleged journalists for basing their reports on, at best, “abnormal test conditions and unrealistic maneuvers.” And that was when they weren’t hiding rockets in the trunk.

So, yeah, “fake news” has been with us for a long time–and the nooze media who are complaining about it the loudest have been among the guiltiest purveyors of it.

As a simple rule of thumb: any “news” report that benefits left-wing political causes is almost certain to be false.

Incontrovertible Proof: Elves Are Real!

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

This video comes from the security camera in an official newspaper office, so you know it’s got to be real because real newspapers never, ever do fake news.

We have an elf just like this one, an heirloom from my grammy, and his job is to sit on top of our Christmas tree. Now we can wonder what he gets up to when we go to bed! Although with two cats in the apartment, he has to be careful.

Some years ago my old Ballantine paperback edition of Tarzan at the Earth’s Core mysteriously vanished. Now it seems clear: the elf got it. Lazy cats, letting him do a thing like that…

The Grandmommy of All ‘Fake News’

Contemplate this Newsweek cover.

Democrats are busy crafting a “narrative,” polite word for “BS,” that they lost the election because all them ordrinary dum peple in America were tricked by “fake news” into voting for Donald Trump instead of “Careless” Clinton. By “fake news” they mean news provided by persons and organizations other than the Democrats’ paid henchmen who insist on calling themselves the mainstream media.

Like Newsweek, for instance. They’re pretty mainstream. Dig that cover.

Okay, sometimes a newspaper has a file of stories already written that can be plugged in, in a hurry, if something happens. Stories with headlines like “Everybody Dies!” So they were all set to go, celebrating a Clinton victory.

Only this was not the first time they came out with a cover revealing their–shall we say “fanatical”?–bias. Dig this one.

It takes a special kind of stupid to liken a sleazy, good-for-nothing politician to Jesus Christ Our Lord; but it’s just that kind of rarefied stupidity that our “non-fake news,” our utterly discredited mainstream news media, have to offer. And this can be explained theologically.

People who do not believe in God–secular utopian liberals, say–have to believe in something: so they believe in, and worship, themselves and their leaders. People who do not believe in God, naturally, have no hard and firm grasp of truth as truth. To them, “truth” is only whatever benefits them politically.

We are told that Newsweak has tried to “quickly distance itself” from that Madam President cover. I don’t know how you distance yourself from your own magazine.

But I think I really do know “fake news” when I see it–and brother, this is it.

Did the Queen Say Obama Won’t Leave Office?

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Speaking of fake news, here we have the Konspiracy Krowd asserting that Queen Elizabeth II, “a satanic and evil woman”–gee, I thought that was Hillary Clinton–has said President *Batteries Not Included will not leave office when his term is up: but, instead, will do something “horrific” to prevent Christmas and keep himself in power beyond his sell-by date.

Yes, they’re still getting good mileage out of a “lost video” from last year, in which the Queen allegedly said that Christmas 2015 will be the last Christmas ever, and allegedly confess that she had Princess Diana killed because “she knew too much,” yatta-yatta, and there’s no proof because the original video has been pulled–

My head hurts.

Crikey, what’re they gonna say about Prince Charles when he becomes king? He couldn’t successfully conspire to take candy from a baby. But you watch–he will instantly be transformed into a real-life Dr. Fu Manchu. Or at least Professor Moriarty.

 

Obama, Libs Whine About ‘Fake News’

As his travesty of a presidency draws to a close, President *Batteries Not Included joins with other Democrat soreheads in blaming “fake news”–especially that provided by the social media–for their defeat in this year’s presidential election ( http://www.breitbart.com/2016-presidential-race/2016/11/21/obama-joins-war-fake-news/ ).

Don’t you get a kick out of these people? If there’s anybody out there serving up “fake news,” it’s the big-time nooze media–bought and paid for by the Democrat Party. As late as 9:00 on Election Night they were still yapping about a Clinton landslide–and deceiving themselves, and their candidate, with their own fake news.

We can admit that there’s not a lot of quality control on the Internet, and possibly even less among the social media. But is there anybody out there who still believes the New York Times, or Rachel Maddow? And if you do, I have a cardboard time machine I’d like to sell you.

We are about as close as we can come, today, to having no reliable source of news at all. For many years our alleged “professional” noozies have been drifting farther and farther away from anything resembling a set of journalistic ethics. I know about this: I was a newspaper reporter and editor in the 1970s and 80s. “Journalists” today routinely do things that would have been considered utterly beyond the pale, back then–colluding with politicians to suppress news, accepting favors and payments from politicians, weeding out facts in favor of some desired “narrative”… it’s a long list.

So the Dems are angry now–not because the people consumed fake news, often that’s the only kind of news there is, but because they got the wrong fake news! Fake news from CNN, MSNBC, the Washington Post–that’s fine. Inaccurate news from regular people posting on the social media–there oughta be a law!

And don’t think there won’t be one, if these rotters ever get back into power.

America really must buckle down to the business of making sure there is never, never, never again another Democrat government.

Pope Revising 10 Commandments? Not True

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

It was all over the Internet today: Pope Francis saying God had instructed him to “revise” the Ten Commandments to allow homosexuality and adultery.

As near as I can ascertain, the story is not true ( https://www.truthorfiction.com/pope-francis-god-has-instructed-me-to-revise-the-10-commandments/ ).

I got suspicious when I read the Pope said God told him to add a new commandment forbidding “glorification of self over God.” Well, gee, Popey, have you just broken that one, this very minute?

Apparently the story originated as a satire published by Real News, Right Now.

I suppose people believed it because we’ve all learned that you never know what to expect from this pope. He is a way-out socialist from Argentina. He believes in Global Warming and wants America to erase its national borders. So rewriting the Ten Commandments doesn’t seem too far out for him.

Anyway, it’s a satire, don’t get upset over it.

We ought to rejoice any time a news story turns out to be a hoax.
