I cover the grifters here. Surprisingly,
this is my first time noting Aileen Cannon who, as a judge, makes a
mockery of herself and the law. She's awful:
Judge Aileen Cannon has triggered outrage among
legal experts for purporting to block the release of special counsel
Jack Smith's reports on the criminal cases against President-elect
Donald Trump, given that she likely surrendered jurisdiction of the
classified documents case when she dismissed it and the appeal went to
the 11th Circuit. Some have suggested she knows her order was illegal
and just wanted to create enough delay for Trump officials to take
office and block release of the report themselves.
But the lawlessness goes beyond that, national security expert Marcy Wheeler wrote for her "Emptywheel" blog — Cannon is also interfering with the Senate's constitutional powers over Trump nominations.
In fact, she argued, Trump's own legal team accidentally admitted as such: "In the letter to Merrick Garland signed by aspiring Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and PADAG designee Emil Bove (whom WaPo says will
serve as Acting DAG until Blanche is confirmed), complaining about the
report, they state explicitly that release of the report would
'interfere with upcoming confirmation hearings' (and, apparently, reveal
damning new details about DOGE [sic] head Elon Musk’s efforts to
interfere in a criminal investigation)" — the reasoning for this being
that the report is supposedly biased and unfair.
"Except what Cannon is suppressing consists of sworn testimony from some of Trump’s closest advisors," wrote Wheeler. "The damning testimony I keep raising, seemingly debunking Kash Patel’s claim (cited in
search warrant affidavits) that Trump had 'declassified everything' he
took home with him almost certainly comes from Eric Herschmann,
installed in the White House by Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner."
Judge
Aileen Cannon's recent orders in Donald Trump's criminal case go
against accepted rules on court jurisdiction, a former prosecutor said
Sunday.
Former
federal prosecutor Joyce Vance over the weekend weighed in on Trump's
criminal documents case, which is currently in the appeals court after
Cannon dismissed it.
But
that dismissal hasn't stopped Cannon from issuing orders in the case,
including in an effort to block special counsel Jack Smith from
releasing his report on an unrelated case against Trump.
She's
a crazy that Chump appointed and she acts like a defense attorney --
one that's breaking every rule -- instead of like a judge that's
supposed to respect the law and precedents. Flynn Nicholls (Newsweek) adds:
In her Civil Discourse Substack,
Vance said, "The strangest thing about this entire proceeding is that
Judge Cannon continues to issue orders when there is no case pending in
front of her. That's not how a court's jurisdiction is supposed to
work."
Monday, January 13, 2025. Surprised by the attacks on Kamala Harris
that THE NATION engaged in from August to election day? Maybe you
didn't know that a Marxist was now running THE NATION? JACOBIN remains
silent on Ana Kasparian's rightward lurch and grift because they used to
play seven minutes in heaven with her in the closet that they all hid
in while they pretended they were Democrats, Mark Suckerberg continues
to lie about Joe Biden as the timeline demonstrates, FANBASE is being
talked up, and much more.
Let's start with POST-LEFT WATCH.
Ana's
a hateful transphobe grifter who's moved over to the right and yells
and screams on camera because what says I-love-my-viewers more than
caterwauling like the criminally insane?
And I would've left it alone but PLW notes Ben Burgis rushed in to defend her.
Of course, he did. He's trash garbage. He's a lying fat f**k.
There's
the fact that he's written a book about Chris Hedges that tries to
redeem Chris and that's your first proof that Ben is not a journalist.
A journalist doesn't praise a plagiarist. In 2014, when THE NEW REPUBLIC exposed his long, long pattern of plagiarism,
that should have been it for Chris Hedges. He's doctored his own
WIKIPEDIA page to pretend that THE NEW REPUBLIC stood down from the
report. It did not. Everything was fact checked and this was noted in a
response that THE NEW REPUBLIC ran. But Chrissy Lynn is a dirty liar.
We'll probably address that again this week when switch from the "Iraq
snapshot" to just "Snapshot."
A real journalist does not endorse a plagiarist.
Doris
Kearns Goodwin was all over the place talking about Jimmy Carter in
recent days. We didn't highlight her due to her own plagiarism
scandal.
It's called standards.
And
Chris Hedges has none. (He does have the blood of Iraqi people on his
hands. We'll talk about that this week.) What is he? A closeted
Socialist. Corporate media is never bringing him back so why does he
have to hide in a political closet?
And look who's in there with him: Ben Burgis.
Which is why we're starting with this today.
Ben's
a columnist for the DSA bible JACOBIN. That's where the Democratic
Socialists of America pretend to be Democrats. It's basically SOCIALIST
WORKER -- a publication that began falling apart as the Iraq War
continued on Barack Obama and as they twisted themselves into pretzels
to avoid calling that out. It eventually collapses in 2019 due to a
multitude of work place scandals having to do with racism and sexism.
Before that happened Bhaskar Sunkara, admitted Marxist and DSA
member, created JACOBIN. Bhaskar has taken his strand of politics to
THE NATION where he was wrongly named president of the magazine. He was
part of the cabal working to destroy Kamala Harris so, yes, he helped
put Donald Trump back into the White House.
THE
NATION has long lied about their history. At THIRD, we have explored
the forties where, for example, THE NATION ran writings by propagandists
who were not Democrats
We've, for example, noted their silence on Otto Katz.
Are
they confused? He also used the aliases Simon Katz, Otto Simon and
Andre Simon. He's the one that the magazine's editor and owner at the
time Freda Kirchwey went to the Sherry Netherland with to plot another
'Democratic' magazine that could fool the readers.
Because
Otto wasn't a Democrat. He was a Communist. Know what else he was? A
double or triple agent for foreign government. He was executed
December 3, 1952.
Bhaskar Sunkara, a Marxist, is now in charge of THE NATION with Socialist Katrina vaden Heuvel (the Freda to his Otto).
And
we saw what that resulted in from August through election day as THE
NATION ran one article after another trashing her and KvH would use her
Twitter account (yes, she's still on Twitter, we told you she's a
racist) to amplify those. House Democrat Joan Walsh wrote pro-Kamala
column but she wasn't platformed by Bhaskar or Katrina.
So
let's get back to 'honest' Ben Burgis. He defends Ana's attack on a
Black man because, of course, what else would a White fat f**k do?
A real writer would be exposing Ana. A real writer would call out her move to the right and her attacks on people of color.
But Ben Burgis is in a bind.
See, Ana started out a Socialist. That's why JACOBIN gave her a podcast to begin with.
And they try to look the other way.
It's not just that they're in political closets, it's also that they are compromised liars.
They should have called her out forever ago.
But
some at JACOBIN -- like Ben Burgis -- aren't as left as they pose and
others fear calling out Ana would mean inviting people to really look
into what they do and who they are at JACOBIN.
But
let's be very clear, putting a Marxist in charge of THE NATION resulted
in the magazine tearing into Kamala constantly, selling the lie that
she was a liar, selling the lie that she was no different than Donald
Chump.
THE NATION is a joke and it is a lie.
It's producing Marxist thought and doing so dishonestly by hiding behind
the lie that "We're just Democrats talking about issues."
They have become a Marxist periodical with a few left overs from previous years.
When
Katrina and Bhaskar Sunkara published the editorial telling people not
to vote for Kamala, they showed you the real damage that political
closet cases can do when they're allowed to pose as Democrats.
I
studied poli sci, I have no problem with Democrats, Socialists or
Marxists. I do have a problem with those who hide in a political closet
and lie so that they can trick you.
They're liars and we call out liars here -- liars like Mark Suckerberg. As we noted Friday,
all hell was about to reign down on Suck as he announced and
implemented a new policy for FACEBOOK that will promote hate speech and
lies which he refused to acknowledge because he was too busy lying. Did
Suck not grasp that he doesn't own FACEBOOK/META? He may be the
largest single stockholder but he's answerable to the board and -- yes,
FACEBOOK is a publicly traded company, one that sells itself as being
positive and diverse -- the stockholders. Facts were never Suckerberg's
strong suit. That's why he keeps showing up lying about 2020 and
'pressure' from Joe Biden. Joe Biden was a candidate in 2020. He
didn't get elected until the end of 2020 and he didn't get sworn in
until January 2021. We've been pointing this out forever -- most
recently August 28th:
Mark
Zuckerberg says he regrets that Meta bowed to Biden administration
pressure to censor content, saying in a letter that the interference was
"wrong" and he plans to push back if it happens again.
Meta's
CEO aired his grievances in a letter Monday to the House Judiciary
Committee in response to its investigation into content moderation on
online platforms. Zuckerberg detailed how senior administration
officials leaned on the company to censor certain posts about Covid-19,
including humor and satire, and “expressed a lot of frustration” when
the social media platform resisted.
FACEBOOK started as garbage. Sorry, I never had a FACEBOOK account. But you do see the lie don't you?
Ruth
posted "There are numbers and then there are the fake numbers in Trump's crazy head" last night. Convicted Felon Donald Trump -- a worm
apparently eating what was left of his brain -- was raving like a nut
that in 2020 Joe Biden's White House was having him censored. Joe
wasn't in the White House. Donald was.
Twitter
Inc., Facebook Inc. and Google’s YouTube have all removed posts shared
by Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro for including coronavirus
misinformation that violates the social media companies’ rules against
posting harmful content.
So
FACEBOOK was censoring post on COVID in March 2020. Per Mark's
testimony -- if you believe the liar -- that's due to the White House.
Again, Joe Biden wasn't president in 2020. He's sworn in January of the
following year.
Facts is
hard for garbage like Zuckerberg. He wanted to endorse Donald a few
months back but he was told it would be bad for the shares in the
company -- so he claimed he wasn't endorsing despite calling Donald "bad ass."
This is his way of endorsing him: Lying to Congress that FACEBOOK only
censored COVID posts due to Joe Biden's White House.
In
2019, before the pandemic began, Facebook announced that they were
looking to reduce the influence of anti-vaccination posts on their
social media platform.
“We
will reduce the ranking of groups and Pages that spread misinformation
about vaccinations in News Feed and Search. These groups and Pages will
not be included in recommendations or in predictions when you type into
Search,” stated Facebook at the time.
“When
we find ads that include misinformation about vaccinations, we will
reject them. We also removed related targeting options, like ‘vaccine
controversies.’ For ad accounts that continue to violate our policies,
we may take further action, such as disabling the ad account.”
Again,
Joe was president in 2021. However, he wasn't president in 2019. That
was Donald Trump. So if Zuckerberg was having his arm twisted to
censor by a White House, in 2019 that would have been Donald.
Under
mounting pressure to counter misinformation around the COVID-19
pandemic, Facebook is increasingly dictating what its users should see
and think.
Facebook
already downgrades any posts it doesn’t like the look of regarding the
virus, but it’s apparently concerned that some of its users might still
interact with the wrong content. It’s not Facebook users’ fault, you
see, they’re just hapless plebs with not critical faculties of their
own. Thankfully Facebook is on the case.
The social media giant’s VP of Integrity (an Orwellian job title if there ever was one), Guy Rosen, recently provided An Update on Our Work to Keep People Informed and Limit Misinformation About COVID-19.
“We’re going to start showing messages in News Feed to people who have
liked, reacted or commented on harmful misinformation about COVID-19
that we have since removed,” said Rosen.
Again, that would be when Donald Trump was president.
Legal idiot Jonathan Turley felt the need to Tweet:
Fox
posted my column on Mark Zuckerberg's admission that Facebook did
censor Americans under pressure from the Administration. He wants
people to know that they are really regret now their role. It is the
feigned regret that comes with forced exposure...
No,
you fool, the censorship began under Donald -- as we took the time to
document above. Jonathan, you're a damn liar and a bigger disgrace and
disappointment than even Robert Kennedy Junior. Matt Taibbi and
Glynneth Greenwald are equally stupid.
Deliver us from the idiots, please.
Again,
Zuckerberg made statements that are being spun as truth but it is
public record that the censorship began long before Joe was president.
He's
lying and he's been lying and the media has let him get away with this
lie for months and months now. It's not that hard to demonstrate he's
lying. But for some reason, the media can't do a basic fact check on
Mark Suckerberg. We can but they can't. In the words of John and Yoko,
"I hope someday you'll join us and the world will live as one." Lily Mae Lazarus (THE DAILY BEAST) reports:
Mark Zuckerberg’s shock choice to scrap fact-checking on Facebook and Instagram has sparked concern and outrage—including from inside the top ranks of the company.
Michael
McConnell, co-chair of Meta’s Oversight Board, said in an interview
Friday that the move looks like “buckling to political pressure.”
“I would have liked to
have seen these reforms laid out in less contentious and partisan
times, so that they would be considered on the merits rather than…Donald
Trump is president and now they’re caving in,” McConnell told NPR.
According
to him, neither he nor the board, an international group of experts in
law, human rights and journalism, were not told about the new policy
ahead of time.
Meta
executives, however, allegedly informed Trump officials about the
change in policy prior to the announcement, a source with knowledge of
the conversations told the New York Times.
Again,
a publicly traded company with a board of directors and a publicly
traded company that's sold itself to shareholders as a company that
respected diversity and was socially conscious.
Roland Martin and Isaac Hayes III are calling on people to leave FACEBOOK and move to FANBASE.
I
can't follow that call because I'm not on FACEBOOK. Never had been.
But I will gladly amplify their call for people to move to FANBASE.
