From The Forward:
Here’s Why The Professor Who Called Bret Stephens A Bed Bug Would Do It Again
August 27, 2019 By Ari FeldmanOn Wednesdays David Karpf teaches Strategic Political Communication.
The class usually begins with students discussing recent instances of public figures making significant strategic communication mistakes. Possible grist for the mill — and this is just from white men — could have been Donald Trump’s flip-flopping statements on gun regulation or the trade war with China; Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro being forced, following international outcry, to address fires in the Amazon; or Tucker Carlson calling white supremacy a hoax, which has led some companies to boycott his show.
Then, on Monday evening around 10 p.m., Karpf, a professor of political communications at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., got an email from Bret Stephens, columnist for The New York Times. Stephens had found Karpf’s joking tweet suggesting that an outbreak of bed bugs in the Times newsroom was a metaphor, and that Bret Stephens was that metaphor. (Because, as Karpf explained, Stephens’ columns are bad, but they can’t seem to get rid of the guy.)
The bedbugs are a metaphor. The bedbugs are Bret Stephens. https://t.co/k4qo6QzIBW

Lame joke …
So Stephens emailed him, challenging Karpf to come to his home and call him a bed bug to his face….
Karpf says that he only shared the email in the first place because Stephens cc’d the provost of George Washington University. Karpf believes that this was a blatant attempt to land Karpf in hot water with the school administration, (Stephens has denied this) an attempt that patently failed: …
Stephens could hardly have picked a worse target. There’s the fact — the first thing that comes up on Google when you search for “David Karpf” — that Karpf teaches what not to do with your digital communication strategy. He likened Stephens’ faux pas to the Streisand effect, named for when Barbara Streisand sued a photographer for including a picture of her home in a public database, thereby drawing international attention to the picture.
But also: Karpf can’t get fired for this.
“This is funny because I’m a tenured white guy, which means there’s very little he can do to hurt me,” he said, noting that he feels he has not received as nearly as much hate mail he would have gotten if he were a woman.
In the course of defending his email on MSNBC, Stephens said that “being analogized to insects … goes back to a lot of totalitarian regimes in the past” — widely assumed to be a reference to the Holocaust. Stephens, who is Jewish, has written many times about his Jewish ethnicity.
Bret Stephens goes to MSNBC to comment on the bedbug situation, saying the rhetoric is “dehumanizing and totally unacceptable.” He also says that there’s a “bad history” of “being analogized to insects that goes back to a lot of totalitarian regimes”
Karpf, who is also Jewish, said he didn’t realize that Stephens was Jewish.
“Stylistically, his work often seems very WASPy to me,” he said.
But Bret Stephens isn’t going to let this go:

As everybody knows, you can’t let wacko extremists like Steve Sailer, with his volatile personality and complete lack of a sense of humor, have any kind of platform. The Conversation must only include super-stable unbiased well-rounded individuals like Bret Stephens who never ever fly off the handle in a demented rage.
Kafka laughs.
I never book a hotel room without checking the reviews to make sure there are no reports of Bret Stephens staying there.
Or: Like "Water" Off A Tiny Duck's Back?
Even if it's the last room available, one should not try to mitigate the damages by employing Russian prostitutes to micturate on the mattress; it's expensive - sleeping on soggy sheets sucks - and it doesn't kill the bedbugs.

Bedbugs are often a sign that there’s a third-worlder or homeless person link to the infected premises.
It’s likely some NYT reporter bringing home random street people or immigrants for sex, and then carrying the bugs into the newsroom in their clothing or possessions.
Is this yet another “antisemitic trope”? It’s not listed on the Wikipedia “Antisemitic Canard” page. It’s not on the ADL website. How are us well-intentioned goys supposed to know and keep up with this stuff? I mean, first the dachshund trope, now the insect trope. And these guys don’t even identify themselves as Jews, so we don’t know that we need to trope-wash our comments. And, you know, I’ve heard and read people insulting non-Jews by comparing them to insects. When does a general pan-population insult turn into an antisemitic trope? The Elders of …, uh, the Jewish community needs to convene a trope convention and publish the definitive dictionary of antisemitic tropes, and then encourage the (((marking))) of Jewish names so we’ll know when to doublecheck that we aren’t using those tropes. By the way, has there been any progress in that rash of black youths in New York perpetrating antisemitic incidents? I haven’t read any followup in the New York Times about it.

This is interesting: I've long noted (and others have too) that within 15 minutes of talking with a person I've never met before who turns out to be a Jew, that person manages to slip into the conversation that he/she is,"Jewish" no matter what the conversation is about -- always "I'm Jewish," not I'm a Jew." I've never know just what to make of this, but now, yes, it's clearly signaling, "be very careful what you say around me."
And, what is it that makes "Are you Jewish?" sound more polite than, "Are you a Jew?"

A dirty, low-down, insult to WASPs.
Just before this “faux drama” began I read a tweet from Bret Stephens, in which, he tried to compare Iran’s sanctioning of some hawkish think tank to the fatwa on Salman Rushdie. I just thought it was funny that within a couple of hours he went from his usual warmongering against Iran to shutting down his twitter account over such a trifling concern.
BS. Jews always know the score.
He’s trolling Stephens, now. Or maybe all along.

If not for the massive immigration that Bret Stephens and the rest have pushed on America, we wouldn’t even be tweeting about bedbugs. Those bastards came back in to vogue for the same reason lots of diseases we’ve not heard about in 80 years are coming back – uncontrolled immigration.
Instead we’d be comparing Bret Stephens to a more upstanding creature, albeit still an invertebrate, but something more like a yellow-bellied jellyfish. And that’s no metaphor, bitchez.

I thought, how can a person do public image for a living and not have the same instinct people learn in high school to not make things worse? This wasn’t Bret Stephens but didn’t they just get done misusing the authority of a psychiatry degree to call Donald Trump the worst mass murderer in human history (this actually happened), on the evidence that they don’t like him?
She’s clearly a based accelerationist. If the Republican Party is destroyed, then White identity will escape into the polity.

I’d be shocked if Bret Stephens could do 10 push-ups. Watching Karpf and Stephens fight would be like watching a couple of 5-year olds go at it.
On the other hand, I can think of few things that would make me happier than Bret challenging me (or any other under 80 gentile) to a fight. Pounding his effete’ face to a pulp would be great fun.
Isabella Rosselini made a short feature about the truly nightmarish sexual practices of bedbugs (and apparently David Lynch was not involved), and I don’t recall what Bret Stephens had to say about this: has anybody been able to get through to Bret for a reaction to this video?

When our next-door neighbors in the city moved away, the bedbugs we never knew they suffered looked for new homes, and the rest of the building had to get up to speed on them awfully fast. Some of the things we learned:
They mate via aggravated rape. (In the #MeToo era, Stephens is understandably careful not to be associated.) One method of control is to confuse their pheromones chemically. Adult females can withstand a little rough trade. Immature females and males of any age, not so much.
They’re resistant to nearly all pesticides. The surest way to kill them quickly is to seal the infested space and raise the temperature to 140°F for a couple of hours. Be sure to remove your precious LP collection first!
Freezing works, too, but takes longer. They like to hide in book bindings, and this is an option to save those books.
They can go 18 months without eating.
They can’t navigate hair, so they leave pets alone. Good carpeting also slows them down.
Diatomaceous earth, the only pesticide you can sprinkle on your kids’ Wheaties, works over time by eroding the exoskeleton. If you are particularly sadistic, you can wait a couple of days after spreading it, then spray the little buggers with rubbing alcohol and watch them writhe. “Agony and ecstasy live together in perfect harmony side-by-side in my dirty bedsprings, oh Lord, why don’t we?”
Bedbugs are only a minor threat to health and property. It’s a quality-of-life thing. So don’t be surprised to learn poor or distracted neighbors have been ignoring them for some time.
Perhaps a certain species of bedbug could be named after Stephens, which would put him in esteemed company.

“He also says that there’s a “bad history” of “being analogized to insects that goes back to a lot of totalitarian regimes”
Damage control. Stephens revealed who he really is publicly and made a fool of himself in the process, so now he has to come up with some excuse to justify his irrational, petulant behavior. It defies belief that the Jewish tweeter in question was thinking anything about dictators. In fact, the excuse Stephens employs here could also be employed in any number of other situations, so there’s really nothing anyone could say that couldn’t then be turned back around on them: you say someone is nitpicking your arguments (“hey, ‘nitpick’ is derived from slave ships … you don’t support slavery do you?”); someone compares a sloven man to a messy pig (“hey, notsees used that imagery, too … you’re not a notsee are you?”); someone complains about a local bank (“hey, that’s a stereotype for you know who … you’re not a you know what, are you?”); … etc.
The bedbug comment was clearly a reference to a news story about bedbugs in the Times building. It had no deeper meaning other than to poke fun at Bret Stephens. Not only is Stephens a pretentious “do you know who I am” drama queen, he’s also a liar for his excuse and a lowlife for sending that email in the first place; probably didn’t know the guy was Jewish, so he thought he could smear him and get him fired / ruin his life; probably also fantasized about doxxing the guy in his next article and rubbing it in his face, too. Ivory Tower hauteur seems to be common with the New York Times these days. Recently, they were called out for implying their employees were above criticism for past controversial comments and tweets while the Times had themselves previously run articles advocating boycotts of companies with a habit of saying disagreeable things.

Karpf was wrong to call Stevens a bedbug.
Karpf knows exactly what he’s doing, unlike Stephens. Notice he even includes an entirely superfluous dig at ‘white male’ privilege as though others aren’t ever protected by tenure.

Bret Stephens is a typical and unapologetic hypocrite in regard to his Jewish ethnic nationalism and his support of Social Marxist policies for everyone else, while living in a nation comprised mostly of “everyone else”. He gives his opinions from a politically powerful podium at the NYT.
Different regimes had a point when they described men like Stephens as insects.

This is interesting: I’ve long noted (and others have too) that within 15 minutes of talking with a person I’ve never met before who turns out to be a Jew, that person manages to slip into the conversation that he/she is,”Jewish” no matter what the conversation is about — always “I’m Jewish,” not I’m a Jew.” I’ve never know just what to make of this, but now, yes, it’s clearly signaling, “be very careful what you say around me.”

Mayakovsky wrote a play “the Bedbug” were a man travels to the future and is mistaken for a new species of bedbug and so put in the zoo. Stephens should be flattered.
The title character is clearly Mayakovsky who was devastatingly handsome.
This obscures the issue somewhat. They hate Trump because he is seen as an obstacle to the conquest of Western homelands and the destruction of the Westerm European People. “Invade-invite” is the whole point.

>Sends an email to his employer behind his back. Ignores the phone.
"He also says that there’s a “bad history” of “being analogized to insects that goes back to a lot of totalitarian regimes”
Damage control. Stephens revealed who he really is publicly and made a fool of himself in the process, so now he has to come up with some excuse to justify his irrational, petulant behavior. It defies belief that the Jewish tweeter in question was thinking anything about dictators. In fact, the excuse Stephens employs here could also be employed in any number of other situations, so there's really nothing anyone could say that couldn't then be turned back around on them: you say someone is nitpicking your arguments ("hey, 'nitpick' is derived from slave ships ... you don't support slavery do you?"); someone compares a sloven man to a messy pig ("hey, notsees used that imagery, too ... you're not a notsee are you?"); someone complains about a local bank ("hey, that's a stereotype for you know who ... you're not a you know what, are you?"); ... etc.
The bedbug comment was clearly a reference to a news story about bedbugs in the Times building. It had no deeper meaning other than to poke fun at Bret Stephens. Not only is Stephens a pretentious "do you know who I am" drama queen, he's also a liar for his excuse and a lowlife for sending that email in the first place; probably didn't know the guy was Jewish, so he thought he could smear him and get him fired / ruin his life; probably also fantasized about doxxing the guy in his next article and rubbing it in his face, too. Ivory Tower hauteur seems to be common with the New York Times these days. Recently, they were called out for implying their employees were above criticism for past controversial comments and tweets while the Times had themselves previously run articles advocating boycotts of companies with a habit of saying disagreeable things.Replies: @Anonymous
It is quite plausible, in the Jewish view of the world, that a Gentile would refer to a media Jew as a parasite. And that “dictator” in Stephens mind was probably Hitler. The more abstract noun serves to obfuscate the essential Jewish-Gentile conflict at the heart of Stephens’ worldview.

Yeah, my first reaction was “this broad ain’t wrong. She’s right for the wrong reasons.”
is this an all jewish affair?
Ari Feldman. Bret Stephens. not sure about David Karpf.
reflecting back on life, i think about how many times on television or radio there was a panel of ‘experts’ debating something, with a host ‘moderating’ them, and i now realize every one of them was jewish.
we’re all just spectating on the sidelines as jewish people with jewish concerns direct society. no other perspectives allowed. you think you’re involved, you think they’re americans just like me, but actually, none of the talking heads are like you or on your side.
it’s remarkable sometimes how incredibly rigidly jewish a ‘debate’ can be. like when Andrew Breitbart died, there was an internal battle over who would tak control of the Breitbart media property – except both sides were jewish. the conservative jews won, and sent the neocon jews fleeing. that’s why Ben Shapiro has a show now – because he lost his battle to take over Breitbart.
today in the television and podcast media, we get to hear ‘conservatives’ battling ‘liberals’ but half the time it’s just an observant jew arguing with a leftist jew, with the rest of us on the sidelines like fat beer drinking losers at a college football game. all the players on the field african, all the spectators in the stands southerners.
both political parties are exactly the same today. leftist jews control and direct the democrat party, while neocon jews do the same for the republican party. how long it’s been this way i’m not sure, but probably since the 50s or 60s for the democrats, and starting in the 70s for the republicans, with full control by the 90s.
until this is confronted, all of our other efforts and energy will be continuously redirected into bullshit, as Peter Brimelow is now finding out. any American Nationalist effort will be co-opted by yet another annoying jewish huckster as soon as it appears, this time around it’s this Yoram Hazony guy.
I accidentally caught a little of his show today and I don't think he'll last. He doesn't have a good voice for radio--it's high pitched and he speaks in a hyper-fast, nervous manner. He sounds like he's been inhaling helium, or like one of those Alvin & the Chipmunks records.

I also think someone owes the Bedbug Community a big public apology for all of this.

The good professor can be forgiven if he didn’t know Stephens was Jewish. The name sounds kinda WASPy (no doubt by design) and frankly I didn’t know he was Jewish myself until about a year ago.
“WASPy must be the worst jew-to-jew putdown available.”
Notwithstanding that throughout the 20th century they actually ASPIRED to be at least ersatz WASPS so they could be accepted by the WASP “establishment” as the Cabots and Lodges of the shtetl.
“So Stephens emailed him, challenging Karpf to come to his home and call him a bed bug to his face….”
What would Stephens have done? Hit him over the head with libel/slander suit papers?
Yeah – no doubt about it. Just like with that Socrates dude. If only he could have restrained his irony, the Athenians would have taken him more seriously, and wouldn’t have…uh…de-platformed him.

Touché. And I’m thankful most people figured out that when I wrote columnist it got autocorrected to communist.
How to be stylistically WASPy:
First be sure your piece includes the following phrases:
1) In point of fact
2) So to speak
3) To be sure (kicking off the paragraph where you deftly strawman the other side’s arguments)
3) As it were (especially after making a blandly subtle pun)
What would a normal, healthy, sane society's reaction be to such a people?Replies: @J.Ross
Apropo to this: House Sackler tells a judge today that they will settle provided they can be exempt from American law after having done more material harm than al-Qaeda (that is, bar all future lawsuits regarding that whole destroy rural America thing which I’m sure we’ve all already forgotten). If the judge says no, we should applaud him or her. If the judge says yes then all future concerns about a certain supposedly baseless hatred by a certain religio-ethnic group should be directed back to this decision.

Yes but — my reaction to Hazony was to welcome him, precisely because we are not allowed to have opinions or influence politics. It’s like being wary of Trump because he is a billionaire. Hazony is sort of a representation that some of our concerns can be legitimated and discussed and maybe become policy. Without Hazony I don’t see that happening, and not because of Jews but because of goodwhites.
‘Come on, IIRC, Mein Kampf is full of “pestilence” and “disinfect” metaphors. He may be referring to gypsies, homos etc. as well, but they’re all in one big bag.’
Actually, it’s full of words in general. Maybe we should just stop using any of them.
I’d been reading on bedbugs and old-timey diseases as related to immigration from the 3rd world (especially S. o’ the border) for years on VDare. You are right that DDT was used in the past, but once these pests were eliminated in the US, it took the immigration-invasion to bring it back. This article shows that it was both factors, David, though it’s tourism too, not just permanent immigration.
Kids during my childhood used to wonder what “Good night. Don’t let the bedbugs bite.” was even about. Parents would tell you that this line was from long ago, and you don’t have to worry about those bedbugs. I’d never seen one till about 5 years back. Thanks, immigration officials!!
Haha! That’s an oldie… but it never fails.
Fredo sleeps with the fishes, while Stephens sleeps with the bedbugs. I’m gonna tweet him an offer he no canna refuse…
These two will be forever known as:
Chris “Fredo” Cuomo
and
Bret “Bedbug” Stephens.
They made the mistake of ineffectually reacting to taunts, cementing their new names within the popular lexicon. Few people can react effectively. They should have stayed quiet. But I’m glad that they did not.
Uhhhhh…who is Bret Stephens?
If you say so. I’m not into long pig myself.
Well now…since it’s a given that the POTUSs are gonna be all Democratic from here on in a few yearss …..In 20-25 years….we will have a majority nonwhite America of 1.5 billion “Americans” and still growing exponentially at 10 percent a year…rapid doubling time……But just think of the exiciting culinary opportunities for our expanding population…..COCKROACHES AND BEDBUGS….a veritable Keto diet for everyone…..!!!
A man with that very peevish expression that is so characteristic of the TrueCon.
As a young graphic designer, I occasionally used to freelance at the New York Times when it was still located right off Times Square. No rats, but there were mice scurrying around the studio. One day one of the studio guys threw a drafting triangle and killed a running mouse, for which he received great praise from his mates.
… why Ben Shapiro has a show now…
I accidentally caught a little of his show today and I don’t think he’ll last. He doesn’t have a good voice for radio–it’s high pitched and he speaks in a hyper-fast, nervous manner. He sounds like he’s been inhaling helium, or like one of those Alvin & the Chipmunks records.
But who knows? Mark Levin has a horrible voice and he’s done well.
Yes, agree the tautological, redundant ‘W’ is particularly irksome and annoying.
The P is nicely flexible, too. It can stand for "Papist", and still fit Orestes Brownson.
Will Stephens’s coworkers now call him “Bedbug” behind his back? Bet on it.
Times Square is also closer to the capitals and high points of Connecticut, New Jersey, and even Delaware than to the capital and high point of its own state. And closer to the high point of the District of Columbia as well. (There is one.)

New Jersey calls its high point High Point. It straddles two towns, both of which attend High Point Regional HS.

I didn’t even have to get this far to see what was going on:
“On a hunch, Ruberg asked their TAs for a head count.”
And there it is: “their”.
And why the heck does an “assistant professor” teaching a freshman class have not only a TA, but multiple TAs? I went for four years of undergraduate education and three years of law school without ever encountering a TA.
And why can’t “they” simply kick interlopers breaking the rules out of “their” classroom?
Anyway, subtext of article: These are Asian computer programmers who are required to take an SJW course (and maybe see it as an easy A, but it’s required in any case).
Oh, I just Googled this lovely. Got it.
It’s clear from the other articles written on this, but it should also be clear from this guy’s reference to being white and therefore untouchable. (Ha! And black professors are fired all the time, I suppose he thinks.) He doesn’t object to Stephens over immigration or something, he doesn’t like Stephens over “climate change” and “race” and thinks that even one token “conservative” at the Times is like a bedbug. (He also thinks it’s OK to denigrate WASPs, and also bizarrely thinks that WASPs are all conservative.)
So let them eat each other.
Karpf says he’s Jewish right there.
Breitbart was as well, of course- adopted.
I’m an Anglo-Saxon with a yiddische kopf, which is why I’ve never been all that impressed with the Jewish intellect.
Their racism is the most remarkable thing about them.

Adopted doesn’t count, IMO. I mean, not necessarily. Just look at what Breitbart did with his life – does it really seem Jevvy? Or does it seem like the height of Aryan subversion of Jevvry? I absolutely guarantee there is a non-trivial # of Jevvs who look at Andy’s life and go *facepalm* “this is what happens!”
Consider the many ways in which Americans are already enjoined from criticizing the chosenites and their various enterprises.

With such a waspy pseudonym as Brett Stephens [Ehrlich], Bedbug’s Hebraic roots should have been obvious. Israel Ehrenburg called himself Ashley Montague, Jane Seymour’s real name is Joyce Frankenberg, and I am too lazy to look up what Robert Maxwell’s real name was. (Over-the-top faux Englisn names are a give-away.)
We now have a nebbish named “Bedbug” and a goombah named “Fredo.” It’s been a good month.
Well, I’d rather be called a WASP than an ASP.
The P is nicely flexible, too. It can stand for “Papist”, and still fit Orestes Brownson.

There are no ‘good guys’ in this story. Just one shyster sticking out his foot to trip up an even worse swindler.
However, there are no ‘white guys’ in this story, either.

They mate via aggravated rape. (In the #MeToo era, Stephens is understandably careful not to be associated.) One method of control is to confuse their pheromones chemically. Adult females can withstand a little rough trade. Immature females and males of any age, not so much.
They're resistant to nearly all pesticides. The surest way to kill them quickly is to seal the infested space and raise the temperature to 140°F for a couple of hours. Be sure to remove your precious LP collection first!
Freezing works, too, but takes longer. They like to hide in book bindings, and this is an option to save those books.
They can go 18 months without eating.
They can't navigate hair, so they leave pets alone. Good carpeting also slows them down.
Diatomaceous earth, the only pesticide you can sprinkle on your kids' Wheaties, works over time by eroding the exoskeleton. If you are particularly sadistic, you can wait a couple of days after spreading it, then spray the little buggers with rubbing alcohol and watch them writhe. "Agony and ecstasy live together in perfect harmony side-by-side in my dirty bedsprings, oh Lord, why don't we?"
