UN Bans Reporters from Global Warming Pow-wow

Stalinism–it only went away for a little while.

I guess they don’t trust Canadian journalism to commit suicide, as American journalism is doing: so the global statists at the UN have banned three reporters from Ezra Levant’s Rebel Media from covering its Global Warming conference in Morocco next month ( http://www.climatedepot.com/2016/10/21/caught-on-tape-un-bans-skeptical-journalists-from-climate-summit-for-holding-views-not-particulary-helpful/ ).

According to the UN bigwig in charge of press credentials, these journalists were banned because they’re “not helpful.” And also for “pushing a particular point of view.” Gee, they must be the only journalists in the world who do that!

Do honest people ban reporters from covering their conference?

Now, if these reporters had been pushing Global Warming and global government, they would be welcomed with open arms. It’s only “a particular point of view” that the UN wants suppressed. “Advocacy journalism” is only bad if you’re advocating the wrong thing.

By the time the ruling class is done corrupting journalism–with the enthusiastic assistance of noozies who think Job One, or indeed their only job, is helping the Democrat Party–it’ll be like there’s no such thing as news: we’ll have no idea what’s going on. Someone will have to re-invent reporting; and then we’ll have to fight the battles for freedom of the press all over again. In the meantime we’ll have no reliable information: only “advocacy journalism” approved by our rulers.

I used to be a reporter. We used to try to get the story right, insofar as humanly possible. We thought it was our duty.

No more, no more, no more…

Thailand Bans ‘Rude Opinions’

leeduigon(patty)May 3, 2016

In a move calculated to drive American college professors and other Democrats absolutely wild with jealousy, Thailand’s military junta has banned “rude opinions” and virtually all known forms of political discussion, in the run-up to a referendum on a new constitution promoted by the junta ( http://www.voanews.com/content/thailand-bans-rude-opinions-ahead-of-crucial-referendum/3313020.html ).

“Why, why, why can’t we do this!” cried U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

“What unscientific wimps we are!” lamented Bill Nye The Science Guy. “We can’t even jail Climate Change deniers!”

It is rumored that Hillary Clinton has threatened to go on a hunger strike if a set of rules similar to Thailand’s is not immediately adopted by America.

Under Thailand’s new rules, you can’t campaign against the proposed constitution, you can’t campaign for it, you can’t use any language that could possibly be described as intimidating, aggressive, or impolite, you can’t organize a panel discussion to debate the issue, and you’d better watch what you post on the Internet. Violation of any of these rules could get you 10 years in jail.

Ms. Lynch had to be restrained from beating her head against the Justice Dept. wall.

Democrat primary candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders said, “Of course we can have those rules here in America! In fact, we already do! Just check out any college campus.”

“I counsel the America people to just be patient,” said President *Batteries Not Included. “We’re not there yet, where Thailand is, but we’re getting there–and we won’t stop until we do.”

Let’s Shut Everybody Up

Now that the Justice Dept. has revealed that it’s looking for ways to prosecute “Climate Change denial,” assorted Democrats in Congress, along with some members of the Obama administration, have formed a new organization dedicated to suppressing all dissent.

Americans For Making America Just Like China “is an idea whose time has come,” said the group’s first commissar, Rep. Azog Jockitch (D-Mordor). “Attorney General Lynch has shown us the way. Let’s prosecute everyone who has the wrong idea about any public issue!”

“Here in America’s 57th state, we’ve already been doing that for several years and it’s really paid off,” said Sen. Wendy Screwtape (D-Chateau d’If). “Now nobody dares to say boo! We don’t just prosecute Climate Change denial. We throw people into jail for transgender denial, gay marriage denial, White Privilege denial, Evolution denial, Islam denial, feminist music denial–you name it, we’ll prosecute it!”

But what if a majority of America’s most productive citizens wind up in prison for this-or-that denial? How will government programs be paid for?

“Why, that’s easy!” said Deputy Attorney General Bill Zebubb (D-Gehenna). “Look, we’re gonna have to jail all the Christians anyhow, so while we’re at it, we might as well confiscate all their property and convert it into cash. That’s what being a Democrat is all about!”

And when the money runs out?

“Ask another question like that,” Mr. Jockitch said, “and you’ll wind up in the slammer, too.”

P.S.–Mr. Jockitch has asked us to add: “If we prosecute all wrong speech, we can turn the entire country into one gigantic safe space!”
