Far-left ‘Mother Jones’ editor accuses airline of ‘Christian nationalism’ after flight attendant wishes passengers a ‘blessed’ night

The editor-in-chief of the far-left “Mother Jones” publication declared on Friday that it was an example of “creeping Christian nationalism” when a flight attendant on an airline wished her and others to have a “blessed” evening.

Clara Jeffery, the EIC of the left-wing outlet, wrote about her apparent experience in a post: “Creeping Christian nationalism alert: Alaska Airlines flight attendant just wished us a ‘blessed’ night as we landed in SFO (!) to groans. Other adjectives that would have sufficed: great, awesome, fabulous, amazing, fantastic.”

As of Saturday morning, the post had over 2 million views on X, with many, even those on the left, roundly criticizing the editor’s remark about her apparent experience with the flight attendant.
In the replies, YIMBYs for Harris cofounder Armand Domalewski wrote “Respectfully, I’m a pretty left leaning guy and I wish folks a blessed day fairly often. It’s just a nice thing to say.”

Hillary just may be the worst person in the world

“Hell is empty and all the devils are here.”  — William Shakespeare

Is there a person on the planet that does not know that Hillary Rodham Clinton is the most bitter, angry and hostile political person in the country?  Probably not; even those who may have supported her in the past have to know that she’s gone ‘round the bitter bend.  Trump’s victory in 2016, despite all the cheating the left had in place, rendered her permanently damaged, deranged with fury; how could anyone vote for Trump over her she wondered.  Trump broke her so badly that she remains thoroughly deranged.

Now she wants to jail anyone who opposes her Saul Alinsky version of Marxism.  She worshiped Alinsky, and wrote her college thesis about him.  He was an evil entity who dedicated his little book to Lucifer.  But since he wrote that little book, the left/Democrat party has embraced and followed his “Rules for Radicals.”  It is a nasty little treatise, something akin to Mao’s little red book that laid out his cultural revolution that led to more deaths than Stalin or Hitler.  In short, Hillary Clinton and her Marxist pals are still trying to sell their evil ideology to the increasingly easily indoctrinated generations that have been taught to not think for themselves, or even to vote in their best interests, but in the interests of their self-appointed betters.  The dumbing down of two or maybe three generations of Americans has done horrific damage to our country. 

Hillary is still so enraged at Trump and his supporters, she penned an op-ed in the Washington Post in order to double down on her “basket of deplorables”slur.  She accuses them of being drawn to “his racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, Islamophobia.” Of course, Trump supporters are not drawn to any of those things.  Trump is none of those things.  In fact, it is a safe bet that among his vast number of friends, there are far more people of color than HRC has ever had on her rolodex.

Big Tech-Government Collusion: Biden-Haris Admin, Meta, Google, and Others Launch AI Partnership to Combat “Disinformation” and “Hate Speech”

The current US White House seems to be exploring every possibility that might secure another avenue for what opponents (and quite a few lawmakers) refer to as “collusion” with (Big) Tech.

A new scheme has just been announced, that revolves around the “AI” and “disinformation” buzzwords, and includes the US State Department, Meta, Anthropic, Google, IBM, Microsoft, Nvidia, and OpenAI.

Looks like quite an “ensemble cast” – or “usual suspects” – right there.

It’s called, Partnership for Global Inclusivity on AI, and it was announced by Secretary of State Anthony Blinken along with a decision to bankroll programs “identifying disinformation using AI” with $3 million.

We obtained a copy of the report for you here.

Manufacturing the Far-Right: Who Is Shaking the Jar?

Following the reported murders of Alice Dasilva Aguiar (aged 9), Elsie Dot Stancombe (aged 7), and Bebe King (aged 6) at a holiday club held in a community centre in Southport—in Merseyside in the UK—some limited disorder and social unrest broke out. Contrary to the reports provided by the UK legacy media, there are deep-rooted problems in communities across the UK that led to the disorder. Southport is one such community. 

The anti-Muslim sentiments expressed by a minority of the protesters was repeatedly emphasised by the legacy media and the politicians. Yet, rather than make any attempt to resolve other genuine causes for concern, they completely ignored both the structural problems and the broader concerns of the protesters. Instead, they exploited the opportunity of civil unrest to exaggerate the claimed reach of so-called social media influencers and to falsely assert that those influencers’ posts on social media caused riots.  

The disorder in Southport sparked more widespread discontent. Communities in other regions across the UK took to the streets to protest the impact of immigration in their communities. Adding to their resentment was a perception of biased policing and an unfair justice system—two-tier Britain—as well as an overall sense of inequality of opportunity in the political, economic, and social realms.  

The civil unrest subsequent to the murders became a major story hyped by the entire UK legacy media. Any examination of the actual evidence relating to the murders was largely pushed aside. Instead, the state and its media minions focused their attention, laser-like, on what they were calling an “insurrection” and on its purported causes. 

Almost immediately, they began blaming the widespread unrest on injudicious posts on social media—particularly on Elon Musk’s “X” (formerly Twitter) platform. Indeed, the state’s swift response was to try to censor social media, increase state surveillance, and quickly convict so-called “armchair rioters,” who were reportedly stoking resentment and provoking the “far-right riots” through the use of social media.

‘Migrant’ Now Racist Hatespeech, Says Unelected Language Cop

I have a great and abiding disdain — and you should too, if you have self-respect — for social engineers who assume for themselves the moral prerogative to dictate what terms are allowed to be uttered in public or prohibited, on a rolling and arbitrary basis, forever.

English is not their language; they didn’t build it; they have no right to distort it by fiat.

I won’t heed any linguistic commandments, and you shouldn’t either.

Reading the below screed from The Intercept, if one had been dropped off into the stratosphere from Mars and didn’t have any context, one would assume the term “migrant” emerged straight out of some Holocaust propaganda production — and not where it actually came from, which is the neoliberal international NGO class itself, which facilitates mass migration to drown the West in cultural eradication.

The entire article should rightly come with a giant “Citation Needed” affixation; not one time is there any hard evidence presented that “migrant” is used in a racist manner by racists. It’s very long on innuendo and short on facts.

Via The Intercept (emphasis added):

“Consider the word “migrant.” Today, it’s the term of art from both the right and the left…

It used to be fairly rare to call human beings migrants. From the 16th to 19th centuries, the word mostly referred to birds and other animals that moved back and forth between different climates and terrains every year, not from desire or planning but from pure, immutable instinct…

Now, everyone who leaves a poor or troubled country and comes north to the United States is a “migrant.”…

The word “migrant” implies that they’re traveling around unsettled: rolling stones with no intention of gathering moss and no right to land in one place.”

Naturally, no Social Justice™ manifesto would be complete without a reference to the Nazis, who notoriously pinned “migrant” stickers of shame on the Jews while corralling them into the trains… or something.

Kamala Encourages Americans To Grill “Friends And Neighbors” About “Misinformation”

During a cringe fake Hollywood town hall meeting earlier this week, Kamala Harris suggested that everyday Americans should get in the faces of their friends and neighbors about “misinformation”.

Yes, really.

The entire thing from start to finish was cringe overdrive, hosted by billionaire Oprah Winfrey with an audience made up of the likes of Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, Jennifer Lopez, Julia Roberts, Bryan Cranston, and Tracee Ellis Ross.

You know, real representative of American voters.

At one point Harris was asked a hard hitting question by Meryl Streep, and responded “It’s very important that we all speak to our friends and our neighbors about misinformation and help them now see how it occurs, where it is occurring.”

The Australian Government Reboots the Misinformation Bill

This week Australia’s Labor Party reintroduced its misinformation and disinformation bill. I did a deep dive into the bill last May. Among its many flaws, the biggest is its very origins.

As Communications Minister Michelle Rowland said in Parliament on September 12, “This bill seeks to strengthen the voluntary code by providing a regulatory backstop.” That code was co-written by First Draft, participants in the Aspen Institute’s coordinated effort to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story.

If that story is new to you, the Twitter Files revealed that in August 2020 the Aspen Institute organised a “table-top” exercise with Twitter, Facebook, First Draft, and a host of media organisations including the New York Times and Washington Post, that ran through a day-by-day playbook of how they would respond to the release of a Hunter Biden laptop. The story didn’t break publicly until October, so how did the Aspen Institute know two months in advance?

German Citizens’ Forum Proposes Criminalizing “Disinformation”

A citizens’ council – established by Germany’s Interior Minister Nancy Faeser to help combat what she sees as “fake news,” has come up with a number of recommendations, including criminalizing whatever the authorities decide to consider to be the “spread of disinformation.”

The proposal is in line with Faeser’s own policies, which opponents see as strongly pro-censorship (and that includes trying to ban a magazine critical of the government).

No surprise also that Faeser’s ministry is open to the suggestions – a statement said it would be “analyzed.” Furthermore, the Interior Ministry will “examine the extent to which (the recommendations)” can be incorporated into its work.

All this is already being interpreted in the context of the previous conduct of Germany’s government, which critics say is not only free speech and media freedom-unfriendly – but is also, while declaratively fighting disinformation, giving a leg up to those media outlets that actually spread disinformation (the implication being, the kind of disinformation that suits the government.)

In a world where war is peace, freedom is slavery, etc., Faeser’s council’s full name is, “Forum against Fakes—Together for a Strong Democracy.” But it’s questionable how German democracy could benefit from an even more draconian clampdown on speech than what is currently happening.

UK Using Terrorism Law To Silence Journalists, Protestors Who Commit ‘Speech Crimes’

British police and prosecutors are relying on a recently adopted “speech crime” provision in terrorism legislation to target journalists, commentators, activists, and protesters.

The crackdown accelerated after Israel launched its genocidal campaign against Palestinians following the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023. Among the most well-known examples of this crackdown is the case of British-Syrian journalist and commentator Richard Medhurst. 

Medhurst, the son of two United Nations peacekeepers, was arrested on August 15 by counter-terrorism police after his plane landed at London’s Heathrow airport. He was due to participate in a panel at the Better Days Festival in Devon.

“Something in my gut told me something was up,” Medhurst told The Dissenter, because there was an “unusually long gap” after the plane stopped and the doors opened. 

The pilot said that they were waiting for a plane to move out of their spot, but this turned out to be false. “One of the flight attendants said, ‘can Richard Medhurst please come to the front of the plane?’ I was literally in the front row.”

Officers, who were not in uniform, initially refused to answer any questions as to who they were and what they wanted and declined to identify themselves. Police demanded to know where Medhurst’s bags were and then took him and his property away. After he was taken to a small room, he was searched, placed in double-lock handcuffs in a painful manner, and transferred to a police station.

Medhurst, who is a member of the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) as well as the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ), is well-known for his coverage of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s extradition case as well as his reporting on geopolitics as it relates to West Asia.

This is the first known example of British authorities invoking section 12(1A) of the Terrorism Act 2000 to justify arresting and interrogating a journalist, which was passed in 2019 as part of the Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Act.

Hillary Clinton Calls Free Speech ‘Propaganda’, Wants to Jail Americans for Speaking

Failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton told bespectacled lesbian Rachel Maddow on MSNBC that Americans who post news and other information she doesn’t like, or that goes against her political agenda, are posting foreign propaganda and should be dragged in front of kangaroo courts for civil and criminal proceedings.

Hillary Clinton told Rachel Maddow this week on MSNBC that the US government needs to use a “deterrent,” like suing citizens into oblivion or throwing them in prison to crackdown on free speech and regain a firm grip on the national cultural and political narrative.

“There are Americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda,” Clinton told Maddow as she called for mass censorship.

“And whether they should be civility or even in some cases criminally charged is something that would be a better deterrent,” she said.
