The only way to make sense of the MSM’s freakout over blacks killing a black in Memphis is that they think like this: Because we _know_ that blacks are morally superior to whites, this proves how out of control police brutality must be if even black cops commit it!

  1. Illogic 101. If black cops (“A”) + “B” (black moral superority), then “C” (whites cause police brutality).

  2. I’m beginning to suspect that it is a power consolidation move. The Feds what to control the only police force in the country.

    Local cops answer to the Mayor or the Governor, the City Counsel or the State Legislature. They project the power of the local politicians. If they are pushed out of the picture, their purpose will be filled by Federal police. Federal police will answer to Congress and the President. I could imagine fed body cam tapes be classified because they “would reveal police tactics to bad guys.” Their priorities will be DC’s priorities, their policies will be DC policies.

    That sounds confusing to me. Even if those steps were taken how would it enhance Jewish power? Why would local police or local governments challenge Jewish power? The only situation I can think of is with gun confiscation which isn't a major challenge to permanent control. Demographics is the ultimate answer to securing permanent control. The old Jewish power playbook going back 100 years starting with the Scottsboro Boys (Jewish NGO lawyers sent from New York to defend them) is to use black victims to create white guilt. The more white guilt the less whites will be able to form a racial interest group. If whites become defenseless then Jewish power can push 100 million additional non-white immigrants and descendants into the US reducing whites to 30-40% of the population before the race mixing agenda takes hold and turns the future generations completely non-white. Permanent control will be established.

    In the New Jersey city of Camden they disbanded the city police force and established a county wide police force to patrol the city. The city is almost entirely black & hispanic, an urban dump. The county police force only patrols the city but is paid for by the entire county.

    So far local neighborhood are keeping their own police but how long? The drive to centralize control is relentless. Having local police responsible to local politician is a safeguard against the trend to anarcho-tyranny. There are some benefits when the police are local.

    Yes, they've been pretty open about this. They've given federal money in exchange for federal control for decades, pushed aggressively under Holder (this was also a motive for constant racial witchfinding), and botched an early aggressive push under Clinton.

    , @Prester John
    @scrivener3

    I don't think that there is any question about it. The wet dream is a national police force not unlike the Gestapo. The urge to centralize everything, to concentrate power, is irresistable. This is all part of the "managerial revolution" about which James Burnham wrote so prophetically years ago.

    , @Pop Warner
    @scrivener3

    I've thought the same thing since 2020 and the defund the police movement. Shut down local police, rely on an incompetent and petty federal police, and those making the laws can hire private police. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if there were anti-police oligarchs with big investments in private security for that very reason. It would boom in a scenario without local cops.

    Normal people would be fucked, like always

    @scrivener3

    No doubt in my mind that the elites want to replace local cops answering to locals with federal cops answering to bureaucrats in DC.

    Tiny Burlington, Vermont is struggling to deal with massive uptick in violent/gun crime brought by arrival of the usual suspects to the city. The mayor dodges responsibility, tried to fob off the problem to the ATF (yes, ATF), FBI and state cops.

    Some local pols all too happy to avoid accountability that comes with elected office. Far easier to blame the feds. Feds don't mind, they get more power.

    • Replies: @James Forrestal
    @AnotherDad


    However, you slice it, they know I’m responsible.
     
    Yes you are responsible. As are we all.

    Let me explain: as a member of the White goy community, you possess something called "privilege*." This is a purely metaphysical, intrinsically-unfalsifiable attribute which is inherent to all goyim of indigenous European ancestry, regardless of their personal circumstances. Its role in the current year state religion is rather similar to this concept, but without the possibility of redemption.

    This dogma holds that, because all of the White goyim are in some way involved in (or at least benefit from) the vast White goy conspiracy to control government, entertainment and "news" media**, etc., that each and every one of them is personally responsible for yet another recently-reified metaphysical construct -- so-called "systemic racism". This mysterious force, via some unknown but totally real mechanism, compels non-White goyim to behave in ways that are contrary to their own interests, but which serve the collective interests of the White goyim. This putative phenomenon is known as "false consciousness" or "internalized 'racism' " and is yet another core tenet of "our" state religion.

    The basic point, after stripping this narrative of most of its superfluous, convoluted pilpul, is: "White goyim BAD. ALL White goyim BAD. So when BAD things happen, it's the White goyim's fault."

    So yes, it is your fault. And mine. And all of ours. We are therefore "morally obligated" to try harder, not only to reject any and all vestiges of collective identity, so as to view ourselves solely as atomized individuals, but to demonstrate explicit and sustained outgroup preference toward any and all non-Whites -- and especially toward a certain tribe.

    I hope this brief explanation has helped to raise your consciousness, so that you are more inclined to check your privilege on a regular basis in the future.

    *Not to be confused with the older, much more concrete and precise definition of "an officially-granted special advantage, immunity, right or benefit enjoyed by and individual, class, or caste." Because that would be... unfortunate.

    **We know this is true because said narrative promotion agencies constantly promote the collective interests of the White goyim at the expense of any and all other groups. Obviously.

  5. They don’t want to experience the feeling of being let down by The Real Americans, who rescue us year after year from our historic and moral failings.

  6. Blaming whites makes perfect sense if you believe in the blank slate.
    All blacks (and whites) are products of “institutional structures” (chomsky). At some time in the past super evil white male gentiles who are not themselves subject to institutional structures created these evil institutional structures which now control every thought and feeling of every person, except for a small cadre of super evil white male gentiles at the top who continue to reinforce these evil institutional structures.
    Biology does not exist. Human agency does not exist (except for the evil white male gentile cadre at the top). Only institutional structures exist.
    So of course whites are to blame when blacks kill blacks.

  7. Honestly, they don’t “think” through this stuff. They just instinctively go into spin mode.

    They are similar to an intelligence service during a war spreading demoralization propaganda or a high powered salesman like Don Draper on Mad Men: Get the message out no matter what. What’s different is that they have so internalized The Narrative that their salesmanship is subconscious or instinctual at this point.

    Agreed. They’re really not “thinking” about it in the way Steve is imagining.

    Ambitious careerists in media (like in any field) don’t pause to reflect on the logical implications of what they’re saying. They simply act, which in this case means they read from a script that was written well in advance of the events in Memphis: “Well yeah, all the cops involved were black, but that just proves how pervasive the problem of systemic racism is—not even black police officers are immune to it!” The lines were already memorized. Nobody had to think about it at all.

    Steve’s usually good at sensing the shallow careerism undergirding much of The Narrative, but he’s overthinking this one for some reason.

    This is my default explanation. I wrote before about seeing reporters on a hair-trigger inadvertently reporting contra-Narrative stories before their managers further up the hierarchy clamped down on their Narrative-busting stories, so I know this does happen.

    In this case, though, the clampdown never came. Was the cat too far out of the bag to stuff it back in, so they just decided to go with it?

    Or maybe they decided that they can hide the race of the cops, so they don't actually need a fully Narrative-compliant story? The one normie I talked to who was aware of this story was not aware that the cops were black, so the hide-the-inconvenient-race strategy worked in that case.

    Or maybe they decided that their Foucault game is so strong that they can now blame anything on white people so the cops' race no longer matters?

    Or maybe—as other commenters suggest—they wanted to knock even more Narrative-damaging stories away from global attention?

    I don't know. I only know they are no longer entitled to any benefit of the doubt.

    They twitch at any hammer tapping the knee. A black man killed by cops is immediately upgraded to Symbol rank. He's the story. Lacking whiteness, his assailants might as well be a quorum of penguins and they'd still fade into the background. "Eureka!" go the ink-stained -- er, keyboard-deadened -- wretches. "Hey, team! We've got another dead vibrant victim! Drag a net across heaven and earth and catch us some white supremacy we can toss into the mix!"

    But 99 out of 100 times, it can be avoided if he don't do anything to attract police attention.

    Unlike criminals, cops just don't after anyone. They go after suspects and law-breakers.

    Even those who believe the cops went overboard with Rodney King surely understand King wouldn't have been pulled over if he weren't driving 100 mph high on drugs.

    And body-cam footage showed the cops tried to do everything for George Floyd but the fool wouldn't listen. Had he listened, he could have been taken to a hospital for his overdose.

    Far more dangerous than what goes by the name of 'police brutality' are:

    1. Police Corruption. A lot of these cops are not physically brutal but take bribes and do the bidding of organized crime or corrupt men of power.

    2. Police Politicization. These cops are ordered to treat Antifa and BLM scum with kid gloves but go hard on MAGA types. Or, they stand by and do NOTHING when woke-tards are attacking law-abiding conservatives. Michelle Malkin joined a rally for 'back the blue', but the cops stood by while the mob attacked her and, if anything, went after her people. In other words, selective brutality which amounts to kid gloves for blacks and antifa garbage and iron fist for MAGA-types(or MAGA-tards who still believe in Good Ole USA which is gone for good). Look at Kenosha. While the thugs were burning it down, cops did nothing. But Kyle Rittenhouse tried to do something and only protected himself, and he nearly got put away for life(and is still facing many lawsuits).

    My guess is white people elect blacks in big cities in the hope that a black politician will have an easier time clamping on the thugs. After all, it was the boomer Democrat and 'first black president' Clinton who was able to lock up record numbers of young black males without a media firestorm about 'racism'.

    But after BLM lunacy, I don't see it working. When NYers elected Dinkins, blacks were still not objects of worship. Now they are, and it's hard for anyone, white or black, to go after sacred cows.

    The police are inherently political, obviously, and American politics is centered on race، but any reasonable person will agree that the the problems with American policing transcend race to a large extent. What happened to Daniel Shaver is objectively far worse than what happened to Michael Brown, but how many people even know the name of the former? A lot of this can be chalked up to anti-whiteness, but all Americans except the police and the elites have an interest in having better policing.

They wanted riots and wanted to see more violent protests against the police , this one reason they promoted this story. They want to see the cities burn again and fantasize about more “peaceful protests” because it infuriates conservatives while galvanizing progressives. They wanted the situation in Memphis to be catalyst for more violent protests so they could antagonize those they despise and demonstrate their power and their ability to deceive the public and promote their agenda and get the progressives riled up and United against the police. Since they have the megaphone they believe they can control the narrative and promote hatred against the police. They would never use their power to attack Black gangs or criminals running wild.

    Police seem to be a class unto themselves, and they protect their own class interests above anyone else's. But to the extent they're protecting other people, they protect the elite while preying on and parasitizing the working class. And even the "anti-police" elite are more anti-white than anti-cop. That's why the Memphis case is being spun as a symptom of white supremacy instead of a symptom of systemic law enforcement rot that harms everyone including whites.

    The problem with your theory is that the claimed mechanism of serial passage through animals is not how you get a more virulent strain of SARS-CoV-2, not when exactly that is happening in trillions of humans right now. For that matter, it makes no sense to do it with expensive monkeys who are also paid a lot more attention to than (humanized) lab mice who almost all people don't care much about.

    This only makes sense if you want to crudely create SARS-CoV-3 starting from a new bat or whatever coronavirus. See AnotherDad and my discussion in this recent iSteve topic, I for example point out that would be both very obvious but the NIH on down has gotten away with it so far for SARS-CoV-2. Would also add that without human testing you wouldn't know if you'd created a Satan Bug.

    TL:DR: I think that guy was bullshitting, at least in part.

    Given how well the Wuhan Institute of Virology origin (theory) has been suppressed for years I wonder if we have to postulate anything like what you are doing, especially since police killing negroes has been such a major theme if not obsession of our ruling trash for eight years.

    That doesn't mean Pfizer is not doing marginal or dangerous things that should at minimum be done in a BSL-4 instead of their own BSL-3 lab as they perhaps appear to have admitted in their own press release, albeit I don't know if they're also using biological precautions such as Rob went into some detail in a September iSteve discussion.

    2. Police Politicization. These cops are ordered to treat Antifa and BLM scum with kid gloves but go hard on MAGA types. Or, they stand by and do NOTHING when woke-tards are attacking law-abiding conservatives. Michelle Malkin joined a rally for ‘back the blue’, but the cops stood by while the mob attacked her and, if anything, went after her people. In other words, selective brutality which amounts to kid gloves for blacks and antifa garbage and iron fist for MAGA-types(or MAGA-tards who still believe in Good Ole USA which is gone for good). Look at Kenosha. While the thugs were burning it down, cops did nothing. But Kyle Rittenhouse tried to do something and only protected himself, and he nearly got put away for life(and is still facing many lawsuits).

    There is a rumor going around that these black cops in Memphis had their own protection racket going and ol' Tyre wasn't playing along so they purposely stopped him to put some fear into him and it ended up getting out of hand.

    No Steve.

    Memphis is being used by the MSM to bury the Pfizer bust by Project Veritas where Jordan Tristan Walker, Pfizer's Director of Reasearch and Development, Strategic operations mRNA Scientific Planner, admits that Pfizer is mutating the Corina virus by themselves so mRNA vaccines will be a constant necessity as they intentionally pass the virus back and forth in research monkeys to make it hotter and more transmissible for a never-ending revenue stream.

    The MSM had to kill that story, and has just the excuse it needs to ignore it in lockstep. That will effect tens of millions of people when Pfizer comes up with a nice hot transmissible variant that really gets people so sick that they have to fight for their lives again, just like the old Alpha variant made em' do. Nothing to see here, just move along. "Hey Look! Another drugged-out black guy beat up by cops! Let's riot!"

    The problem with your theory is that the claimed mechanism of serial passage through animals is not how you get a more virulent strain of SARS-CoV-2, not when exactly that is happening in trillions of humans right now. For that matter, it makes no sense to do it with expensive monkeys who are also paid a lot more attention to than (humanized) lab mice who almost all people don’t care much about.

    This only makes sense if you want to crudely create SARS-CoV-3 starting from a new bat or whatever coronavirus. See AnotherDad and my discussion in this recent iSteve topic, I for example point out that would be both very obvious but the NIH on down has gotten away with it so far for SARS-CoV-2. Would also add that without human testing you wouldn’t know if you’d created a Satan Bug.

    TL:DR: I think that guy was bullshitting, at least in part.

    Given how well the Wuhan Institute of Virology origin (theory) has been suppressed for years I wonder if we have to postulate anything like what you are doing, especially since police killing negroes has been such a major theme if not obsession of our ruling trash for eight years.

    That doesn’t mean Pfizer is not doing marginal or dangerous things that should at minimum be done in a BSL-4 instead of their own BSL-3 lab as they perhaps appear to have admitted in their own press release, albeit I don’t know if they’re also using biological precautions such as Rob went into some detail in a September iSteve discussion.

    It's not a damned theory, It's what Jordan Tristan Walker, HEAD of Pfizer Research and Development, mRNA vaccine division, SAYS HIMSELF in the hidden video. They have oodles of research monkeys, and will be seeing which variants produce nice miserable sicknesses and are most easily transmissible. It's Jordan Tristan Walker's theory, not mine.

    It's the bombshell story of a lifetime: pharma company making a cold or flu worse in a lab and testing it on many monkeys just to make sure it's lethal enough so that yearly cold or flu vaccines will be necessitated for survival/profits from the human race, and the MSM is focused on the death of a guy who ran from the police and probably died of a heart attack (cocaine + tazer = sodium channel in heart shutdown, heart attack).

    The mainstream media is comprised of leftists who despise the police. One reason they support BLM and promote defunding the police is due to their hatred of the police. A big reason they hate the police is due to classism. The mainstream media is a bunch of elites who hate the working class and have always despised the police. They wanted riots and wanted to see more violent protests against the police , this one reason they promoted this story. They want to see the cities burn again and fantasize about more “peaceful protests” because it infuriates conservatives while galvanizing progressives. They wanted the situation in Memphis to be catalyst for more violent protests so they could antagonize those they despise and demonstrate their power and their ability to deceive the public and promote their agenda and get the progressives riled up and United against the police. Since they have the megaphone they believe they can control the narrative and promote hatred against the police. They would never use their power to attack Black gangs or criminals running wild.

    Police seem to be a class unto themselves, and they protect their own class interests above anyone else’s. But to the extent they’re protecting other people, they protect the elite while preying on and parasitizing the working class. And even the “anti-police” elite are more anti-white than anti-cop. That’s why the Memphis case is being spun as a symptom of white supremacy instead of a symptom of systemic law enforcement rot that harms everyone including whites.

    The police are inherently political, obviously, and American politics is centered on race، but any reasonable person will agree that the the problems with American policing transcend race to a large extent. What happened to Daniel Shaver is objectively far worse than what happened to Michael Brown, but how many people even know the name of the former? A lot of this can be chalked up to anti-whiteness, but all Americans except the police and the elites have an interest in having better policing.

    Ambitious careerists in media (like in any field) don’t pause to reflect on the logical implications of what they’re saying. They simply act, which in this case means they read from a script that was written well in advance of the events in Memphis: “Well yeah, all the cops involved were black, but that just proves how pervasive the problem of systemic racism is—not even black police officers are immune to it!” The lines were already memorized. Nobody had to think about it at all.

    The Romans understood this. They had a law that a freed slave who had been beaten or otherwise mistreated by his former master had to leave Rome and never return, on pain of death.

    This was a good compromise. The slave got his freedom and the master didn't have to worry about revenge attacks.

    Black Americans struggle with ‘triggering’ Tyre Nichols video

    … And while people, no matter their race, will struggle with the violence depicted, experts and psychologists warn these images can be especially traumatic for people of colour. They urge caution when deciding whether to watch the footage.

    “Because of the history associated with violence to black and brown bodies, when we watch a video like this, in a sense, we’re not only watching that video but we’re revisiting the history of violence to black and brown bodies in this country,” said Dr Alex Pieterse, a professor and clinical psychologist whose research focuses on race-based trauma.

    Dr Amanda Calhoun, a Yale University clinical psychiatry resident who specialises in the mental health effects of anti-black racism, said the instinct to hide from the violence of the video is rational and understandable.

    But the added element of knowing the same thing could happen to you because of your race, she said, makes watching the footage especially traumatising for some black Americans.

    “If you feel you need to bear witness to it, you want to see exactly what happened to him. I think that’s also okay, I would just caution it may cause symptoms,” she said.

    For anyone trying to decide whether to watch the footage, but especially people of colour, here’s what experts and psychologists suggest.

    Monitor how you are feeling

    Dr Pieterse suggests first checking in with how the coverage of Tyre Nichols death has made you feel, especially if you’ve experienced violence in the past.

    “If you do want to watch it, recognise that it may actually trigger memories, you have of your own individual, you know, trauma, so I would offer a word of caution.”

    … “I think part of what has made our experience of people, as people of colour more challenging in this country is that our trauma often is unrecognized, or it’s almost not even validated,” he said.

    “Know what you’re experiencing is real and it’s connected to how you’ve had to navigate this world as a person of colour.”

    That sounds confusing to me. Even if those steps were taken how would it enhance Jewish power? Why would local police or local governments challenge Jewish power? The only situation I can think of is with gun confiscation which isn’t a major challenge to permanent control. Demographics is the ultimate answer to securing permanent control. The old Jewish power playbook going back 100 years starting with the Scottsboro Boys (Jewish NGO lawyers sent from New York to defend them) is to use black victims to create white guilt. The more white guilt the less whites will be able to form a racial interest group. If whites become defenseless then Jewish power can push 100 million additional non-white immigrants and descendants into the US reducing whites to 30-40% of the population before the race mixing agenda takes hold and turns the future generations completely non-white. Permanent control will be established.

    This is my default explanation. I wrote before about seeing reporters on a hair-trigger inadvertently reporting contra-Narrative stories before their managers further up the hierarchy clamped down on their Narrative-busting stories, so I know this does happen.

    In this case, though, the clampdown never came. Was the cat too far out of the bag to stuff it back in, so they just decided to go with it?

    Or maybe they decided that they can hide the race of the cops, so they don’t actually need a fully Narrative-compliant story? The one normie I talked to who was aware of this story was not aware that the cops were black, so the hide-the-inconvenient-race strategy worked in that case.

    Or maybe they decided that their Foucault game is so strong that they can now blame anything on white people so the cops’ race no longer matters?

    Or maybe—as other commenters suggest—they wanted to knock even more Narrative-damaging stories away from global attention?

    3) Police departments drop all pretense of hiring standards – recruiting the worst thugs to get the numbers back up;
    4) Tyre Nichols encounters five such officers who had not the proper temperament to be in any position of authority, much less one where they could dole out death on behalf of the city.

    That doesn't mean Pfizer is not doing marginal or dangerous things that should at minimum be done in a BSL-4 instead of their own BSL-3 lab as they perhaps appear to have admitted in their own press release, albeit I don't know if they're also using biological precautions such as Rob went into some detail in a September iSteve discussion.

    It’s not a damned theory, It’s what Jordan Tristan Walker, HEAD of Pfizer Research and Development, mRNA vaccine division, SAYS HIMSELF in the hidden video. They have oodles of research monkeys, and will be seeing which variants produce nice miserable sicknesses and are most easily transmissible. It’s Jordan Tristan Walker’s theory, not mine.

    It’s the bombshell story of a lifetime: pharma company making a cold or flu worse in a lab and testing it on many monkeys just to make sure it’s lethal enough so that yearly cold or flu vaccines will be necessitated for survival/profits from the human race, and the MSM is focused on the death of a guy who ran from the police and probably died of a heart attack (cocaine + tazer = sodium channel in heart shutdown, heart attack). “Hey look!

    So sorry you're triggered by the word "theory." Although you've brought up something that's very different from what I've heard of the sting:


    pharma company making a cold or flu worse in a lab and testing it on many monkeys
     
    vs. creating new variants through serial passage through them. Can someone who's who's read a transcript or watched it clarify this point, because all I've heard is the latter.

    Let's move this to a different domain. One Jordan Tristan Walker works for a company that handles civilian electrical nuclear power spent fuel rods. He claims the company is diverting some of that to chemically isolate plutonium to make nuclear weapons. Due to decades of propaganda, this gets lapped up ... except you can't make weapons grade plutonium from fuel that's been in a reactor for much longer than a month. The mix of isotopes won't do the job, just like you can't use weapons grade for gun assembly bombs.

    I'm saying his claimed means won't accomplish the claimed end; this isn't like high school biology falsifiable "gene therapy!" but it's still pretty basic stuff. I interpret someone claiming his company is trying to do something that's impossible as him bullshitting.

    That of course doesn't answer the question of possible damage to the narrative from what he said and your theory of "Squirrel!" for this police killing ... although what happens when this incident is old news? In the meanwhile it's also not likely those inclined to trust Project Veritas to report honestly on what they filmed won't hear about this, and those who claim they're always liars won't continue to ignore anything they come up with, have seen a lot of that again about this latest in a Leftist infested discussion forum.

    1. Zero evidence that these viruses even exist, let alone been intentionally released, from the lab. Someone pretended to go on a gay date with Walker (who BTW is black) and asked him leading questions while secretly filming him - this is highly unethical to begin with. Then he said to him , "So, Pfizer ultimately is thinking about mutating COVID?” and he kinda sorta agreed with him, because you don't get into someone's pants by vehemently disagreeing with them. Even assuming Walker was speaking the truth and not just going along with his date in order to get into his pants, he never said that they were actually doing this, just THINKING about doing it, in response to a highly leading question. There are many steps to getting approval for experiments like this. What scientists bullshit about with each other in the lab is very different from what actually gets thru all the committees.

    2. Even if these viruses actually existed (which they don't), in order to complete the process they would have to introduce this extra lethal virus to the public. Nothing that Walker said indicated that they intended to infect the public with these lab created viruses (which don't even exist).

    2. Whatever you do in a lab on a few dozen monkeys is nothing compared to the "natural experiments" that are going on in the wild. Millions of people all over the planet are getting infected with billions of copies of the virus and each copy is a chance for the virus to mutate. The most successful variants quickly take over and become predominant. This is like the difference between a planned economy and the market. No matter how well you construct your planned experiment it's not going to be as effective as natural experiments anyway because the natural experiments occur on a much larger scale.

    3. The reason that sites like YouTube are taking these stories down is that they have policies against spreading lies.

    So yes, it's all a ginned up tempest in a tea pot where you take a few tiny embers and try to blow them into a giant bonfire and no we don't have to drop everything in order to focus on this "bombshell" that is really a big nothing.

    That sounds confusing to me. Even if those steps were taken how would it enhance Jewish power? Why would local police or local governments challenge Jewish power? The only situation I can think of is with gun confiscation which isn't a major challenge to permanent control. Demographics is the ultimate answer to securing permanent control. The old Jewish power playbook going back 100 years starting with the Scottsboro Boys (Jewish NGO lawyers sent from New York to defend them) is to use black victims to create white guilt. The more white guilt the less whites will be able to form a racial interest group. If whites become defenseless then Jewish power can push 100 million additional non-white immigrants and descendants into the US reducing whites to 30-40% of the population before the race mixing agenda takes hold and turns the future generations completely non-white. Permanent control will be established.

    The way the MSM thinks about the Tyre Nicholls case can be ‘explained’ thus:

    Whites are always the big, nasty, evil monsters and oppressors.
    Blacks are always the poor innocent, meek, helpless put upon victims of the white monsters.

    Any story involving black/white interactions in the USA must be shoe-horned to fit that perspective. You see, the leit-motif of contemporary American ‘journalism’ is not reportage of actual facts, oh no, that died years ago, if it ever did exist, but twisting, shoehorning, perverting and forcing reported events to fit a pro forma narrative – it is the narrative which is sacred, not the facts and events, by the way – no matter how awkward and ridiculous the narrative becomes as a result.

  54. To be fair, the narrative in which white people are to blame for five black officers beating a black guy to death is no more ridiculous than the narrative that US destroying NS2 and EU sanctioning Russian oil and fertiliser =”Putin weaponising energy and food“.

    https://www.bbc.com/news/business-64288792

    Vladimir Putin is “weaponising food”, and the impact is being felt around the world, the boss of one of the world’s biggest fertiliser firms has warned. Svein Tore Holsether, from Yara, said countries needed to cut their reliance on Russia after its invasion of Ukraine hit global food supplies and prices.

    Russia is a top exporter of fertilisers and chemicals used to make them. But the war has caused supply issues and driven up the price of natural gas, which is key to fertiliser production. As a result, global fertiliser prices have hit record levels and forced farmers to raise food prices, putting pressure on consumers worldwide.

    Aren’t the supply issues caused by “our side”?

    “Putin has weaponised energy and they’re weaponising food as well,” Mr Holsether told the BBC at the start of the World Economic Forum in Davos. The warning echoes concern from the International Monetary Fund. Also speaking to the BBC, its managing director Kristalina Georgieva said the world should “move attention today to fertilisers, because this is where we see particular threat for food production and therefore food prices in 2023”. She added: “Fertiliser prices remain very high. Production of ammonia [which is used to make fertiliser] in the European Union, for example, shrank dramatically. All of this is connected, of course, to the impact of Russia’s war on gas prices and gas availability.”

    No, it’s the impact of Western responses, those Western responses being designed to break Russia economically.

    Russia stockpiled fertiliser for domestic use last year. While its exports declined, the record prices paid for fertiliser led to a 70% increase in export revenues, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation.

    How are sanctions working out again?

    Moscow increased exports to countries such as India and Turkey. Russia also produces enormous amounts of nutrients, like potash and phosphate – key ingredients in fertilisers, which enable plants and crops to grow. Mr Holsether called this dependency a “powerful weapon”. “With energy we’ve built an infrastructure in Europe on cheap Russian gas and we see the consequences and the cost of that right now with food and fertiliser.” He pointed out that half of the world’s food production is dependent on fertiliser. “If you see significant disruptions on that, that’s a very powerful weapon.”

    But who’s producing the disruptions?

    I don’t know if I feel sorry for Svein Tore Holsether, being forced to come out with this crap to get an invite to Davos – and after his business has been crucified by energy prices – or whether I despise him for the same reason.

    However, you slice it, they know I’m responsible.

    Yes you are responsible. As are we all.

    Let me explain: as a member of the White goy community, you possess something called “privilege*.” This is a purely metaphysical, intrinsically-unfalsifiable attribute which is inherent to all goyim of indigenous European ancestry, regardless of their personal circumstances. Its role in the current year state religion is rather similar to this concept, but without the possibility of redemption.

    This dogma holds that, because all of the White goyim are in some way involved in (or at least benefit from) the vast White goy conspiracy to control government, entertainment and “news” media**, etc., that each and every one of them is personally responsible for yet another recently-reified metaphysical construct — so-called “systemic racism”. This mysterious force, via some unknown but totally real mechanism, compels non-White goyim to behave in ways that are contrary to their own interests, but which serve the collective interests of the White goyim. This putative phenomenon is known as “false consciousness” or “internalized ‘racism’ “ and is yet another core tenet of “our” state religion.

    The basic point, after stripping this narrative of most of its superfluous, convoluted pilpul, is: “White goyim BAD. ALL White goyim BAD. So when BAD things happen, it’s the White goyim’s fault.”

    So yes, it is your fault. And mine. And all of ours. We are therefore “morally obligated” to try harder, not only to reject any and all vestiges of collective identity, so as to view ourselves solely as atomized individuals, but to demonstrate explicit and sustained outgroup preference toward any and all non-Whites — and especially toward a certain tribe.

    I hope this brief explanation has helped to raise your consciousness, so that you are more inclined to check your privilege on a regular basis in the future.

    *Not to be confused with the older, much more concrete and precise definition of “an officially-granted special advantage, immunity, right or benefit enjoyed by and individual, class, or caste.” Because that would be… unfortunate.

    **We know this is true because said narrative promotion agencies constantly promote the collective interests of the White goyim at the expense of any and all other groups. Obviously.

  70. Disagree. The media are consistently and conveniently omitting the race of the cops. They want you to fill in the blank and assume evil whites did the killing. They want more burn loot murder.

    Also, not one Black player took a knee during the NFL playoffs yesterday. I guess police brutality is acceptable so long as Your People are doing the brutalizing.

  71. It occurs to me that there’s one reason the media has to keep constructing such fantastic interpretations of this event. Looked at head-on, the incident, among other things, is a clear condemnation of affirmative action. That’s how Cleofus et al wound up with clubs and a badge.

    I am even more cynical in how the powers that be behind the MSM are trying to heighten Memphis coverage in order to peel back the anti-white aspects of the George Floyd and Ferguson BLM movement they unleashed on us because they know it has gone too far.

    They may be trying to say “okay, it’s not just white cops, we get it… let’s move on.”

    They may be trying to get back to a “Normal” pre-2014 era after they realize that unleashing the Kraken several times only created our current insanity. An atempt at a Mea Culpa before they accidentally have an irreversible Race War on their hands.

    I have to say I'm more than a little surprised by how much attention this has gotten. Maybe I've misjudged the media a little? Given that everyone involved was black I would have expected the story to quickly vanish down the memory hole (like, for example, the killing of Danial Shaver). I wonder how the story would have been treated if Nichols had been white, which would have dealt an additional blow to The Narrative.

Shut down local police, rely on an incompetent and petty federal police, and those making the laws can hire private police. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if there were anti-police oligarchs with big investments in private security for that very reason. It would boom in a scenario without local cops.

  78. It is rather similar to the recent story in England about a professional dog walker who was set upon and killed by a group of eight dogs she was walking. Apparently none of the dogs had previous form for violence, but when you get enough dogs together, it is a case of the call of the wild.

    Rather the same in Memphis where it was ill-advised to put four or five black cops together in a group, which released primitive cop urges hardly seen since the days of Rodney King.

    I don’t think we have heard the whole story about Memphis yet. Was the victim driving dangerously? Why? Was he under the influence of drugs? The story as I recall was that he had been to a park to take photographs of the sunset. Or was there some other nefarious activity in the park in the twilight in which he was a participant?

    Were the beefy cops using steroids to make them strong? People who use anabolic steroids are known to have violent outburst of temper. Or maybe they would taking amphetamines for attention deficit disorder?

    So sorry you're triggered by the word "theory." Although you've brought up something that's very different from what I've heard of the sting:


    pharma company making a cold or flu worse in a lab and testing it on many monkeys
     
    vs. creating new variants through serial passage through them. Can someone who's who's read a transcript or watched it clarify this point, because all I've heard is the latter.

    Let's move this to a different domain. One Jordan Tristan Walker works for a company that handles civilian electrical nuclear power spent fuel rods. He claims the company is diverting some of that to chemically isolate plutonium to make nuclear weapons. Due to decades of propaganda, this gets lapped up ... except you can't make weapons grade plutonium from fuel that's been in a reactor for much longer than a month. The mix of isotopes won't do the job, just like you can't use weapons grade for gun assembly bombs.

    I'm saying his claimed means won't accomplish the claimed end; this isn't like high school biology falsifiable "gene therapy!" but it's still pretty basic stuff. I interpret someone claiming his company is trying to do something that's impossible as him bullshitting.

    That of course doesn't answer the question of possible damage to the narrative from what he said and your theory of "Squirrel!" for this police killing ... although what happens when this incident is old news? In the meanwhile it's also not likely those inclined to trust Project Veritas to report honestly on what they filmed won't hear about this, and those who claim they're always liars won't continue to ignore anything they come up with, have seen a lot of that again about this latest in a Leftist infested discussion forum.

And that a drug maker, driven but enormous profits would not exploit the opportunity for self-enrichment through a lather-rinse-repeat process is inconceivable. Yes, aren’t you the champion of the everyday worker?

    And then the needless distraction. Really? Do ‘civilian electrical nuclear power spent fuel’ rods differ from non-civilian rods? (Vigorous hand-waving ensues!)

    I interpret someone claiming his company is trying to do something that’s impossible as him bullshitting.

    Hence, the dismissal of the Wuhan Lab leak because “that’s impossible.”

    They would only to the extent unpacking them while they're still thermally and radioactively very hot is easier. You completely ignored what I said about duration in a reactor being the only real difference, and how that results in massively different isotope mixes and the consequences of that. And of course the whole point of the analogy, what I've read the Pfizer guy as saying would not accomplish the claimed goal.

    Hence, the dismissal of the Wuhan Lab leak because “that’s impossible.”
     
    I've from the beginning, within the first few months due to the wet market hypothesis not panning out and/or SARS-CoV-2 being far too well adapted to humans thought "the Wuhan Lab leak" was by far the most likely explanation, and the more people like the DRASTIC team dig the more likely it looks.

    Memphis does not trigger reflections of 'maybe we were wrong,' but declarations of continued and unqualified faith.

    After all, all this is ultimately religious in a sense. It is not drawn from observed evidence, but from a priori conviction in a set of principles -- racial equality, etc -- and a refusal to allow anything at all to qualify that conviction.

    Memphis is being used by the MSM to bury the Pfizer bust by Project Veritas where Jordan Tristan Walker, Pfizer's Director of Reasearch and Development, Strategic operations mRNA Scientific Planner, admits that Pfizer is mutating the Corina virus by themselves so mRNA vaccines will be a constant necessity as they intentionally pass the virus back and forth in research monkeys to make it hotter and more transmissible for a never-ending revenue stream.

    The MSM had to kill that story, and has just the excuse it needs to ignore it in lockstep. That will effect tens of millions of people when Pfizer comes up with a nice hot transmissible variant that really gets people so sick that they have to fight for their lives again, just like the old Alpha variant made em' do.

    police brutality really is a thing
     
    But 99 out of 100 times, it can be avoided if he don't do anything to attract police attention.

    Unlike criminals, cops just don't after anyone. They go after suspects and law-breakers.

    Even those who believe the cops went overboard with Rodney King surely understand King wouldn't have been pulled over if he weren't driving 100 mph high on drugs.

    And body-cam footage showed the cops tried to do everything for George Floyd but the fool wouldn't listen. Had he listened, he could have been taken to a hospital for his overdose.

    Far more dangerous than what goes by the name of 'police brutality' are:

    1. Police Corruption. A lot of these cops are not physically brutal but take bribes and do the bidding of organized crime or corrupt men of power.

    2. Police Politicization. These cops are ordered to treat Antifa and BLM scum with kid gloves but go hard on MAGA types. Or, they stand by and do NOTHING when woke-tards are attacking law-abiding conservatives. Michelle Malkin joined a rally for 'back the blue', but the cops stood by while the mob attacked her and, if anything, went after her people. In other words, selective brutality which amounts to kid gloves for blacks and antifa garbage and iron fist for MAGA-types(or MAGA-tards who still believe in Good Ole USA which is gone for good). Look at Kenosha. While the thugs were burning it down, cops did nothing. But Kyle Rittenhouse tried to do something and only protected himself, and he nearly got put away for life(and is still facing many lawsuits).

    My guess is white people elect blacks in big cities in the hope that a black politician will have an easier time clamping on the thugs. After all, it was the boomer Democrat and 'first black president' Clinton who was able to lock up record numbers of young black males without a media firestorm about 'racism'.

    But after BLM lunacy, I don't see it working. When NYers elected Dinkins, blacks were still not objects of worship. Now they are, and it's hard for anyone, white or black, to go after sacred cows.

    1. Zero evidence that these viruses even exist, let alone been intentionally released, from the lab. Someone pretended to go on a gay date with Walker (who BTW is black) and asked him leading questions while secretly filming him – this is highly unethical to begin with. Then he said to him , “So, Pfizer ultimately is thinking about mutating COVID?” and he kinda sorta agreed with him, because you don’t get into someone’s pants by vehemently disagreeing with them. Even assuming Walker was speaking the truth and not just going along with his date in order to get into his pants, he never said that they were actually doing this, just THINKING about doing it, in response to a highly leading question. There are many steps to getting approval for experiments like this. What scientists bullshit about with each other in the lab is very different from what actually gets thru all the committees.

    2. Even if these viruses actually existed (which they don’t), in order to complete the process they would have to introduce this extra lethal virus to the public. Nothing that Walker said indicated that they intended to infect the public with these lab created viruses (which don’t even exist).

    2. Whatever you do in a lab on a few dozen monkeys is nothing compared to the “natural experiments” that are going on in the wild. Millions of people all over the planet are getting infected with billions of copies of the virus and each copy is a chance for the virus to mutate. The most successful variants quickly take over and become predominant. This is like the difference between a planned economy and the market. No matter how well you construct your planned experiment it’s not going to be as effective as natural experiments anyway because the natural experiments occur on a much larger scale.

    3. The reason that sites like YouTube are taking these stories down is that they have policies against spreading lies.

    So yes, it’s all a ginned up tempest in a tea pot where you take a few tiny embers and try to blow them into a giant bonfire and no we don’t have to drop everything in order to focus on this “bombshell” that is really a big nothing.

    Sure, that he was lying is a possibility. It's also possible he was telling the truth.

    I think you are leaving out some important facts here:

    1. His family say he lost the lower halves of his legs recently after an altercation with police in Texas.

    2. Lowe Jr. had just stabbed someone unprovoked, moments before.

    In Philly there are a lot of gangstas in wheelchairs because gangstas get shot a lot and sometimes the bullet doesn’t kill them but just leaves them paralyzed. Being in a wheelchair doesn’t mean that you ain’t a gangsta anymore.

    Understood, but really....how far was Stumpy going to get sans chair? He was fleeing. One of our valiant men in blue should have hung back aimed at Mr. Lowe and his partner should have laid him out face down!

    A knife hurled by someone who can't plant their feet is still dangerous but considerably less so than one from someone able-bodied.

    But now those cops are safe....and the rest of us less so!

    Oh you are good, aren't you? Your shift to another domain is a remarkable work of prestidigitation. The analogy you offer doesn't just fail, it fails at the essential point of contention. Your claim is that this is just another 'perpetual motion machine,' but we know that the Sars-CoV-2 bioweapon was loosed upon humanity. How inconvenient for you! And that a drug maker, driven but enormous profits would not exploit the opportunity for self-enrichment through a lather-rinse-repeat process is inconceivable. Yes, aren't you the champion of the everyday worker?

    And then the needless distraction. Really? Do 'civilian electrical nuclear power spent fuel' rods differ from non-civilian rods? (Vigorous hand-waving ensues!)


    I interpret someone claiming his company is trying to do something that’s impossible as him bullshitting.
     
    Hence, the dismissal of the Wuhan Lab leak because "that's impossible."

    The COVID-19 "kerfuffle" was just a myth, by your lights. It did not happen because it was impossible.

    1% isn't going to do it. Just the "basic" $5M/Negro payment (the proposal also included supplementing the income of blacks for the next 250 yrs) would cost each non-black person in SF around $263,000 (luckily SF doesn't have that many blacks) so you would have to levy against $26,000,000 of income for each non-black @ 1% to raise that kind of money. The amount of $ you would need would be equal to SF's entire budget for 8 years.

    It would be interesting to see how much of that $5 million the average recipient would still have at the end of 8 years. $1M? Nothing? Lisa Marie Presley squandered her entire $100 million inheritance. But not interesting enough to actually want to give them the $.

    I would hope that there are still enough adults left in the room in SF that this is not really going to happen, but I no longer have the confidence that that is true.

    I like to focus on Pfizer's reply, start here because while Official it's not, shall we say, a model of clarity and admits to what could be gain of function work WRT to their antiviral, not (BioNTech's) vaccine, while making an astonishing claim it's required by the government.

    If so, that really needs some attention, including if it's work safe enough for a BSL-3 lab with the viruses that are typically targeted by antivirals. Could be a much bigger industry wide problem, except thanks to Saint Fauci, Peter Daszak and his EcoHealth Alliance cut out, various terrified lying scientists etc. it's Officially a conspiracy theory instead of the most likely origin of SARS-CoV-2. Mad Scientists and their funders are not deterred by killing millions of people with their first big "oops...".

    Note my quibble about BioNTech developing the vaccine in the first place isn't a physical barrier to Pfizer themselves doing new stuff with that technology, all they have to do is change what the DNA "printer" outputs before they insert that into E.
