Tucker’s next piece will be written by Henry VIII’s Cat.

The article opens with a trigger-warning, but I’m still not triggered after reading it. Well, I am triggered that CNN is behaving like a vigilante mob, but the article itself seems devoid of any actual crimes or misdemeanors that warrant Neff’s lynching. Did I miss something?

Tucker Carlson, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham and most of the the mainstream conservatives are Race Realists at heart.
They just cannot speak the truth in the public.
Ann Coulter recently joked that she has asked her realtor to find a home in a very “Diverse” neighborhood and along that tweet was a story of a Black man killing some old white guy.

As far as Leftist women are concerned.
There’s an old saying that when any society’s women start to act like the most uncouth and vilest of men, then all hope is lost for that society.

Tragically, hordes of modern white women have lost all of their feminine graces, have disfigured themselves with tramp-stamps, and have become so loud-mouthed and brutish that they are intolerable. They are seen by men throughout the world as nothing more than dim-witted whores who deserve the degrading treatment they receive at the hands of sweaty Dindus.

Legal boards were one of the last good obscure niches on the internet where smart, creative, interesting people could have unmoderated discussion. AutoAdmit’s days are clearly numbered and JDU has already been dismantled.
I absolutely love Steve’s work and have been ardently following it since the iSteve days, but I think he’s next. AutoAdmit has (had?) maybe a few thousand users, tops, and “they” worked their way in there, so a site as prominent as this has GOT to be in the cross hairs

Operational Security includes the things you post online. There are no safe spaces

Tucker has spoken for months about showing resolution. But judging by the language used by Fox News execs in denouncing Neff, it looks like they immediately decided to fire the guy.

Fox News CEO and president sent an internal memo on the "horrendous and deeply offensive racist sexist and homophobic comments" made by Tucker Carlson writer Blake Neff.

They add Carlson will address it on his show Monday night: pic.twitter.com/Ad6aaEym78

And it looks like Tucker acceded to the demand.

I knew a girl in college with that surname. One of the Tribe as we say. Wonder what the name was in the old country?

Unless it’s a big help for you with professional connections, etc., don’t join even LinkedIn, much less Facebook or heaven forbid, MySpace. That deal with the reflections in the pictures was very poor op-sec. Why not just use an image off Bing, if possible, or be careful at least*?

The fact is, though, if a guy that knew Mr. Neff wrote the email to get him in trouble, I’m sure he could get enough general information off his comments to dox him with, though maybe not to the “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard for a court of law, were there a jury of his peers (haha).

For Mr. Alarmist, you know they don’t need actual crimes anymore. Just those trigger words, “sexist”, “bigoted”, “homophobic”, and “racist” are enough to scare the Bejesus out of even a tough guy like Tucker Carlson.

.

* If it were a Feral law enforcement thing, do these images, as saved off of a web page, not have identifying info that identifies the phone, or would that be only in the whole file itself, on the phone or a computer? Could a computer-guy here answer that one for me?

I guess one could just print-screen on the computer, then work on it. I know this is extreme paranoia, and only a top-notch government agency (like those shown in Jason Bourne movies – see also Part 2 and Part 3) would be up for matching the info to a phone, hence ID information.

If you read the article closely the most racist thing they find is that he posted on a thread where someone said n****4.

One other funny thing to point out is that the head of the ADL’s internet censorship division is a woman named Brittan Heller, who sued AutoAdmit over mean comments some posters made about her in 2007. Her husband, Nathaniel Gleicher, is the head of cybersecurity policy at (((Facebook))).

Not as catchy as “Loose lips sink ships,” but true nevertheless.

For Mr. Alarmist, you know they don’t need actual crimes anymore. Just those trigger words, “sexist”, “bigoted”, “homophobic”, and “racist” are enough to scare the Bejesus out of even a tough guy like Tucker Carlson.

Yep, and that’s why they are nothing more than Lynch Mobs. They may as well start waving nooses at people.

Recently I tried to find out how an old amour of mine was doing who’s not exactly computer literate or careful with who she provides with her information, and the only things I was able to glean was that she had tried to buy second hand furniture and liked recipes. And I’m pretty good at the old internet sleuth act.

Then when I called her up she had the balls to be disappointed that I hadn’t stalked her better. Anyway, a dissident in a Stalinist industry such as show business should hang his head in shame to fail at what 40 year old mommy does without thinking about it.

Summa y’all confusing OPSEC for PERSEC. Related, but not the same thing.

With such glee CNN pushes the knife into freedom of expression.

Compare this to the lyrics of the “Black National Anthem” which the NFL is threatening to bless us at national events: lyrics of God, liberty, and native lands. Good stuff, if only we could have it.

Fred MacMurray’s character in Double Indemnity is named Walter Neff.

The new generation of Murdoch’s aren’t terribly conservative. One brother and his wife are openly liberal. The one that runs Fox isn’t liberal but he still doesn’t want to be a pariah among the elite class. If corporate America can demand the Redskins change their name they certainly won’t advertise on a network where white nationalism is pushed to the side. Look what they’re doing to Facebook because they wouldn’t delete a Trump post?

This should be a reality check for how people handle themselves online, including how Unz.com displays comment histories.

One of the best features about Unz is the ability to post anonymously. It’s funny that some posters will take offense to this, meanwhile if you go through their comment histories for an hour, you could find enough personal tidbits to narrow their identity down to <100 IRL individuals.

We're approaching a point where algorithms can chew through a corpus of text and reliably extract key features — estimated age, geography, specific cultural references, etc. Anyone who posts for years under the same account is asking for trouble.

Unz.com should stop providing comment histories for regular accounts beyond 6 months or so. Simply doing that would make a potential doxxing more difficult.

The article opens with a trigger-warning, but I’m still not triggered after reading it. Well, I am triggered that CNN is behaving like a vigilante mob, but the article itself seems devoid of any actual crimes or misdemeanors that warrant Neff’s lynching. Did I miss something?

Sadly, no. What the article promises at the outset and what it actually delivers are two completely different things.

Every time I come across one of these, “Look who’s terrible now !1!!1!” articles, I am first given the impression by the author that, should I choose to risk my morals and reputation by insisting on reading further, I can fully expect to see photographs of the alleged miscreant heading up concentration camp selections, pushing pensioners off cliffs, slashing proposed NHS budgets, and so forth.

(You know, the sorts of things that are guaranteed to scar one’s eyeballs.)

What I invariably get, however, is thin gruel, indeed. The material the author insists is going to send so-and-so on a one-way journey to the Nether Regions generally consists of relatively mild remarks of the sort that just about anyone who believes in telling the truth is bound to make sooner or later.

The lesson I have learned from these witch-duckings is that what you actually said is not important. What is important is what the person making the accusations feels you said, see?

After all, these are people for whom feelings, not facts, are paramount. That the alleged unforgivable atrocities turned out, once again, to be not much of anything surprises me a lot less than my embarrassing susceptibility to these pointless exercises in self-righteousness.

I mean, these tinpot Stalins are so dull-witted they don’t even know how to make backstabbing gossip interesting. How lame is that?

(On the plus side, if these plonkers continue this routine of promising much but delivering little, it won’t be long until everyone gets bored and starts tuning them out. So there’s that.)

I knew this was nothing when, of all the supposedly hundreds of offensive comments, the ones in the article were so bland.

I’d like to be a fly on the wall to conversations of left-wing journalists, black protesters, black anyone, Democratic politicians.

On the flip side I guess that means there’s a vacancy. Why don’t you send in your CV, Steve?

Eric Topol, a prominent medical scientist, published on Twitter the email address of a person who had responded to a post of his in a profane manner. He did this at the suggestion of another Twitter poster, so it was entirely purposeful. This is apparently a double violation of Twitter’s policy on behavior. Dr. Topol is a critic of early Covid treatment with hydroxychloroquine. The media’s attempt to suppress early Covid treatment is a crime against humanity.

Scroll down.

I love how they go all “Woodward and Bernstein” on off-hand remarks and jokes everybody makes, regardless of how ancient:

(Parody): “In one forum, a meme was circulated in which a doctored (gasp!) image of an African American woman discussing the unavailability of culturally specific hair enhancers (weave lady). In another sub-forum, several posters made disparaging remarks about a different African American female for referring to government subsidies for cell phone service widely used in disadvantaged communities (Obama phone lady).”

Did CNN “report” his address? They would if they could.

He has no control over HR at a massive public company. The discrimination lawsuits are the intense focus of executives, legal and, increasingly, marketing. Legal fees are an enormous open ended expense.

Hence all the settlements for fairly obvious frauds and shakedowns, with an attendant magical desire to outsource so much work to Salt Lake City etc.

Tucker Carlson, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham and most of the the mainstream conservatives are Race Realists at heart.
They just cannot speak the truth in the public.

blackpill is confused about the meanings of the words realist and truth.

you are praising ann coulter who never married and has zero children.

“This article betrays several untreated psychological problems of the author and freely expresses liberal-fascist opinions, much of which has not been censored.”

One clear lesson is don’t publish on another person’s platform: blogspot, wordpress.com, facebook, twitter, Instagram.

They are private companies and can do as they wish without discussion explanation or consistency.

Self publishing is different. Domain registries are authorized by ICANN a quasi public non-profit charged with acting in the public interest. ICANN is located in California, you can get jurisdiction over it in a Cal court. It has published policies, procedures and I am sure subject to our notions of due process. Most root name servers in the national domains (the two letter domains like CH or DE) are run by their respective governments and could ignore ICANN as to any policy. Every domain works worldwide on the Internet so it may be harder to publicize a .CC domain than a .COM but a .CC works just as well.

In fact every controversial site should register an alternate domain in another jurisdiction entirely and put a link to it in their header or on every page for all users to bookmark. Should they ever be unpersoned by Verisign (the .COM registry) all readers could access the site from the alternate domain immediately.

The one advantage to being a nobody, living in flyover country, working for a boss who’s a big trump guy. Nobody alive could possibly care about me. Plus this is unz, nobody can admit unz even exists. If anyone admitted they even knew what unz was, they’d be complicit, guilt by association.
Tucker is going to do what is prudent for him. I respect his decisions. But it would be totally B.A. if he just quit. Cable Tv is dead.

For now.

Who knows what MSM’s policy will be tomorrow?

Gee, I can’t IMAGINE why your side keeps losing. Like, for decades at a time. It’s just mindboggling as to why your fellow Whites hate you so much.

Sorry Mr. Unz, but this reveals a level of delusion about just where we are as a society that you really shouldn’t engage in as a prominent dissident figure. Maybe they won’t write a nasty hit-piece about this place, but they’ll certainly make it impossible for you to host your website, or pay your bills, or whatever extra-judicial means they see fit to silence you.

I sincerely hope you’re planning for the day when you log on only to be greeted by a big 404 splash page and a hosting company that refuses to take your calls. It’s coming, very soon.

* If it were a Feral law enforcement thing, do these images, as saved off of a web page, not have identifying info that identifies the phone, or would that be only in the whole file itself, on the phone or a computer?

It depends. If the originating device codes the metadata containing the phone ID, location, etc. that data travels with the image and its copies unless it is actively stripped out later. That can be done in Windows or purpose written image-editing software.

So the doxxing generally requires a person to post something personal from their lives? Something that can be crosschecked?

Seems like it would be a good practice to routinely change names and NEVER reference personal information that might trace someone back to you (if getting doxxed would hurt you).

Otherwise, a good strategy is to be a nobody, so it really doesn’t matter. 🙂

Beyond that, I don’t think Tucker would be a good President, he’s better off where he is. He’d immediately want to prove how “anti-racist” he is, how we’re all equal, blah blah blah. He still has Good Doggie instincts the Left could use to wrap him up. As a big TV pundit he’s the best we have, but he’d cave as a politician.

From AutoAdmit:

according to the hollywood reporter article

“[poster], as recent as this week, responded to a thread started by another user in 2018 with the subject line, “Would u let a JET BLACK congo n****er do lasik eye surgery on u for 50% off?” CNN reported that Neff responded to the post, “I wouldn’t get LASIK from an Asian for free, so no.””

and

” [poster]’s post also called out Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib — writing that the group wants to “MAKE YOUR COUNTRY A DUMPING GROUND FOR PEOPLE FROM THIRD WORLD SHITHOLES.””

As noted on AutoAdmit, the first comment was misunderstood as dissing Asians, when it was actually about LASIK. The second comment is not what one would call “racist”, perhaps a bit insensitive.

I don’t think Jake Neff or even Tucker Carlson is on our side

Why do I think this?

– I said the other day in the Tucker For President thread, Tucker’s not the guy doing the writing…the interesting people are his writers

– A few days later they take out the head writer and make it national news

– This lends credence to Tucker Carlson being a ‘real conservative’ which I do not think he is. Tucker Carlson is way too good looking to be a true blue Heartiste reader. Good-looking people have super easy lives and everyone..black, hispanic, asian, jewish, muslim…are always nice to them…so they become naive about human nature. When everyone loves you, you love everyone.

I think this fake news story about Neff serves several goals:

1) Making people think Carlson is a real conservative
2) Making people think there are ‘secret’ conservatives in the writer’s room—There aren’t.
3) Scares people into not posting anything online. Shutting down discourse, stopping the spread of ideas. They need to scare people into silence

I could be wrong. But it was just too timely with the ‘Tucker for President’ meme.

An addendum; I don’t post as “anon123” on this blog because in a self destructive Freudian sense, deep down in my subconscious I want to be doxxed.

Good points. I would add that AutoAdmit is currently under what looks to be pre-planned assault where old and discarded but scandalous or offensive threads are being bumped to the top of the homepage by anonymous lurker accounts in order to give new visitors—who will be many on account of the Tucker story—the impression that the site is much “worse” than it really is. These are not necessarily even threads that Tucker’s writer was on. It’s just a guilt-by-association mass effort.

Anyhow, the site’s owner is taking some countermeasures. He correctly discerns that as the Left’s war against free speech advances, destruction of anonymity will be a key front.

As posts age beyond one week, they will no longer publicly display your moniker. We can see how well a one-week period works and adjust if necessary. I might offer an option to opt-out of this feature later, but for now it will apply to everyone by default.
I will also open up the ability to replace old accounts with new accounts.

Anonymity is more important than ever, and we’ll adapt for the times.

I see from his post upthread that Ron is sanguine about doxxers coming for Unzitariat, but should he reconsider, the AutoAdmit guy’s ideas are good ones.

On June 24, Neff commented, “Honestly given how tired black people always claim to be, maybe the real crisis is their lack of sleep.” On June 26, Neff wrote that the only people who care about changing the name of the NFL’s Washington Redskins are “white libs and their university-‘educated’ pets.”

Posting this anonymously on the internet is monstrous. I am a monster ’cause I have definitely posted worse.

After finishing the article they did quote him as using faggot once, zero context for that. They did quote a few other 10X and 100X more inflammatory and offensive comments by other posters on the board. Besides the single out-of-context slur I did not see one thing that he posted that was even worth remarking upon unless one is an overly aggrieved embittered underprivileged whiny wuss.

Hope so, Ron.

Some of us have a lot riding on that Voldemort thingie holding firm.

Neff is a pretty conservative Catholic from his posts, not one of the Tribe.

If only they’d invest this kind of dogged detective work in tracking down actual news.

White women never had any more “feminine graces” than your average Kenworth truck does. They were always inwufferable bull dykes.

Tucker is trying to stay on FOX, I am not sure I really understand why. The mob is going to force him out eventually and it is not like there is a long term future in cable news anyway. The average viewer is a senior citizen who still has a cable TV bundle. If Tucker isn’t already working making a transition to an online only presence he controls, he should be? I doubt he would lose much of his audience.

Tucker Carlson is just Rush Limbaugh 2.0. His job is to keep you on the GOP plantation. It’s the same schtick, he just changes “freedom” to “nationalism.” Tucker was a hardcore neocon for many years before his miraculous transformation. Anyone else remember his clownish bowtie boy neocon act from the 90’s? He was a smarmy idiot mindlessly parroting globalization era establishment talking points.

Well, you would say that, wouldn’t you?

A long time ago (7-15 years) the Volokh Conspiracy was a place of relatively open debate; then it was wrecked this way, not with doxxing AFAIK, but with leftist disruption and Mr. Volokh slowly caving to the disruptors as far as his moderation policy was concerned. I recall this being followed by the site going behind a paywall.

There clearly is a fairly sophisticated private intel operation aimed at free expression on the Internet and in TV and radio, also connected to controlling who can be appointed to appointed executive and judicial posts, and to election campaigns as well.

You expect Carlson – with the highest rated show in cable news’ history – to throw himself under the bus because Neff was careless enough to let his guard down? Neff is eminently replaceable – heck, there must a dozen iSteve regulars who could churn out his type of copy.

I knew a girl in college with that surname. One of the Tribe as we say. Wonder what the name was in the old country?

It’s an English surname, seen in the colonies. Mary Corliss Neff was one of a trio who killed ten little Indians in their sleep. She and her employer were taught by an English boy whom the Abenaki thought had assimilated to them. Their mistake!

“Hatchet Hannah” is a bobblehead:

https://www.roadsideamerica.com/blog/hatchet-hannah-bobble-head/

The FOX News ticker at the bottom of the screen stated that Tucker will be cucking and virtue signaling on this coming Monday night’s show regarding the resignation of “Neff” and his “racism”.

Well, as a progressive trans Latinx lesbian activist and poet, I applaud the brave actions of CNNBusiness. All you cis white males wallowing around in your privilege better BEWARE. The time is nigh. Anyway, gotta go. Punching Nazis is hard work, but it’s so fulfilling. Laterz.

What triggered you into that diatribe against women?

Might your intent be seen as trying to bring the ordinary media’s shadow into the light, and allow it to be healthily integrated?

How should Neff, Tucker Carlson, and Fox News, respectively, respond to this?

What is Neff’s best defense?

How should Tucker Carlson frame things?

What ideas and language can Steve and commenters here offer?

Check out his picture. He looks strikingly similar to a nerdy (said w/ love) prematurely-balding blogger of Jewish heritage who has recently been in the news. He’s also a writer for a television show.
Garden variety case of walking stereotype.

Also, this guy was extremely sloppy in revealing personal details on that forum and slipping in Easter eggs in Tucker’s scripts.

Easter eggs being factoids or phrases that would be innocuous/unremarkable to the public at large but recognizable to members of that community as essentially shout outs. It would be like one of us getting onto a show and somehow working the word whiskey into a conversation on miscegenation and then coming on here and pointing it out.

That nexus with work would make the firing pretty automatic anywhere, even before the new normal of mass purges of the last month.

No one has mentioned how long CNN or whoever did the original research kept this story in their pocket so that they could use it when Tucker Carlson was being mentioned in the media. Is no one else suspicious that this doxxing occur right after Tucker Carlson picked a fight with Senator Tammy Duckworth.

Now image what other landmines others in the media have waiting for them to be used when they need to be silenced.

OT but MacMurray is iSteve’s doppelganger.

I haven’t frequented it in a while, but I suspect since it has moved to Reason Mag it’s comments are pretty open. Reason does virtually no moderation. Don’t know if Volokh is allowed to exercise different rules.

I stay away from the VC because I can’t stand to read anything that is associated with Ilya Simon. Volokh himself has been disappointing in recent years. He thinks too much with his lawyer cap and not enough with his principles.

Ilya Somin. Ugh. Spelled it right the first time and auto-correct changed it. Didn’t notice until after the edit window had expired.

It sounds to me like this is an opportunity for One America Network News to announce their new 9 PM weekday program, The Blake Neff Show.

The Neff thing seems highly goal-seeked and overplayed to me. It seems like CNN desperately wanted to hurt Tucker (and why wouldn’t they?–he smokes them in the nightly news ratings), so they did a bunch of opposition research on his staff and this was the most they could come up with. Even this material needs to be exaggerated and falsified to make it look worse than it is.

I’m not sure what adequate protection there can be for any individual once the whole national culture has adopted the ethics of some pissy high school social circle where people can and will get chucked out for nasty and trivial reasons.

Someday the adults will be back in charge, after the children have ruined everything. In the meantime, while everybody must take care to protect himself, I would recommend speaking your mind and having the courage of your convictions. There is no telling how these things will shake out. If you have been making an honest effort to speak the truth for years, it may just be that your legacy will come to your aid when you least expect it. Even those who are down now, like Neff, may be up again tomorrow. There are more things in heaven and earth, etc.

Besides the single out-of-context slur

What are you referring to?

A Harvard man, eh? That is so cool and interesting. What years did you study there? What was your major? Did you take advantage of any of the school’s many social clubs? Did your friends give you any funny nicknames?

Assuming CNN is interested in “tracking down actual news” is the mistaken assumption here. All media is entertainment.

They’re only interested in generating an audience for advertising revenues to pay salaries.

Frankly, when I first heard about this, I was expecting some genuinely OTT stuff. But here’s what he wrote:

On June 5, Neff wrote, “Black doods staying inside playing Call of Duty is probably one of the biggest factors keeping crime down.” On June 24, Neff commented, “Honestly given how tired black people always claim to be, maybe the real crisis is their lack of sleep.” On June 26, Neff wrote that the only people who care about changing the name of the NFL’s Washington Redskins are “white libs and their university-‘educated’ pets.”

More recently, in February 2020, Neff called Mormonism “an inherently cucky religion.”

On June 5, a user on the forum commented in a thread, “Didn’t Michael Brown rob a store and attack a police officer? And wasn’t [George Floyd] a piece of sh[**] with a long criminal record? Jfc libs.” Another person commented, “It doesn’t matter to these people.” Neff then replied, “It does. The violent criminals are even MORE heroic.” On June 16, a user started a separate thread about a video showing a Black man assaulting an elderly white woman in New York. Neff commented on the thread, “And to think, if this guy got killed in some freak incident while being arrested, we’d have to endure at least three funerals in his honor.”

On May 27, Neff wrote that Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib — known collectively as “The Squad” — want to “MAKE YOUR COUNTRY A DUMPING GROUND FOR PEOPLE FROM THIRD WORLD SH[***]OLES.” Responding to a thread on June 27 about whether “whites fear what’s going to happen to them in 10-20 yrs,” Neff wrote that he has “no plans to stay” in the country “that long.” In December 2019, he said that “once Democrats have the majorities to go full F**K WHITEY, things are going to get really wacky really quickly.” He argued at the time that there is a “large minority of whites who are fully supportive of a F**k Whitey agenda” and that “there’s a suicidal impulse to Western peoples that honestly feels almost biological in origin.”

This all seems pretty accurate……But, in our Maoist-moment, accuracy will only get you in trouble….

It seems as if Mr. Neff and Fox News have already acted. For Tucker Carlson:

It depends on what is going on behind the scenes. If Mr. Carlson is against this course of action and wants to defend his people, he could throw it back at Fox News and dare them to fire him by quoting and agreeing with the same things on the air. If he is with Fox News, he could throw it back at CNN with an “at long last, have you no sense of decency” type of speech, while not protesting the firing. Or he could just cave entirely and distance from the comments. The first course could get him fired, but displays audacity. The latter course would cost him the faith of his audience and eventually doom him.

Now CNN did this master stroke to put him in this situation, attacking the weak/disposable member of the team. So what would they most like to see? My guess is the third course of action, though they would prefer if Fox fired Carlson. So what he *should* do is whatever CNN would least desire. That’s where knowing the state of the relationship between Mr. Carlson and his employer is necessary to give advice.

You’re only discussing the national media, which has doxxed a handful of people.

The vast majority of doxxing is people directly contacting employers via Twitter and getting them fired. Once this information shows up in a basic Google search for someone’s name, their career is over, unless they are in a few industries and locales.

A no-log VPN and protonmail are your friends.

This all seems pretty accurate……But, in our Maoist-moment, accuracy will only get you in trouble….

What would you recommend that Tucker Carlson do in addressing this situation during his show on Monday?

Here’s one alternative: He goes through, one-by-one, some if not all of the offending statements. Making concessions where they are offensive or off color, but adding context/history/translating where appropriate.

Hello, fellow Unz poster.

The idea that only ugly people can be true conservatives is absurd. Ugly people want socialism of mates and always have their own agendas. You all seem to realize ugly women disproportionately hold silly grievances, why don’t you understand the same thing about ugly men? And what does being a Heartiste reader have to do with true-blue conservatism? The place was a cesspool of whining, especially in its later years.

I think along the lines of the ancient Greeks and old fairy tales…the beautiful is the true.

And Carlson isn’t crazy good-looking anyway. Just decent to moderately good-looking and healthy for his age. Those tend to be the sanest people. The kind of people who go hiking and boating and do normal things instead of seethe online.

For all we know there is an iSteve commenter on his writing staff

@3 Blackpilled American: Laura Ingraham adopted two mestizo children from central America and is raising them as a proud single mother. Yes, yes, her fiance dumped her when she had breast cancer, but that is irrelevant to her prior and subsequent choices. She chose to focus on her career before family, and she chose to adopt inter-racially. So she’s just like all the Sailer readers – sorta race-realist but with ‘muh character’ exceptions – which means melting pot civ nattery, which means clownworld.

On Monday night it will prove interesting if Tucker throws Neff under the bus. Tucker’s behavior should prove if he’s just another flash in the pan.

you are praising ann coulter who never married and has zero children.

There’s a good chance she regrets both. Many people have made terrible mistakes when it comes to personal relationships. It doesn’t make then unworthy of admiration. Purity spiraling is a path to failure.

For anyone looking to decamp from these once-United States, Che’s birthplace is on the market:

Che Guevara’s birth home is up for sale in Argentina

Looks nice.

The real target of course is Tucker himself. The Left Propaganda Machine is scared of him and are working overtime with oppo research, boycotts, and efforts to take him down.

But I think Tucker is confident because he knows he has options now. There is a huge business opportunity for anyone who can set up a quality media property to the right of Fox. It’s the same move Fox made originally — to be the only outlet for a vast underserved market.

Tucker already started and sold the Daily Caller. He would be well-positioned set up this new network. Hopefully Trump won’t lose. But if he does that would be a natural project for him to get involved in as well.

Who knows what MSM’s policy will be tomorrow?

Indeed.

Yagoda was sure of his immunity to the very end.

On Monday night it will prove interesting if Tucker throws Neff under the bus. Tucker’s behavior should prove if he’s just another flash in the pan.

What should Tucker say?

I sincerely hope you’re planning for the day when you log on only to be greeted by a big 404 splash page and a hosting company that refuses to take your calls. It’s coming, very soon.

Mr. Unz seems like a tech-savvy guy, with some financial resources. It’s not all that difficult to stand up a couple servers to host his website, and there’s some pretty good linux DDOS resources out there. It’d be more expensive than his current very mainstream hosting and DDOS setup, and it might cost each of us a couple bucks a month, but after some up-front costs the maintenance wouldn’t be too bad, I expect.

I’m a bit shocked that his current host hasn’t yet kicked him off, considering American Pravda. He must be doing something right. Maybe the ADL truly just wants to ignore him.

In December 2019, he said that “once Democrats have the majorities to go full F**K WHITEY, things are going to get really wacky really quickly.” He argued at the time that there is a “large minority of whites who are fully supportive of a F**k Whitey agenda” and that “there’s a suicidal impulse to Western peoples that honestly feels almost biological in origin.”

Quite prescient…….

Is no one else suspicious that this doxxing occur right after Tucker Carlson picked a fight with Senator Tammy Duckworth.

I was surprised he went there at all.

The Overton window hasn’t shifted enough to permit going after high level Wokemon like Duckworth.

Sounds like this Neff guy will make a great Unz writer.

He’s spot on about a large percentage of whites having a biologically-based urge to cheer on their own destruction.

The article opens with a trigger-warning, but I’m still not triggered after reading it. Well, I am triggered that CNN is behaving like a vigilante mob, but the article itself seems devoid of any actual crimes or misdemeanors that warrant Neff’s lynching. Did I miss something?

for those who haven’t clicked the link, the first (and presumably most-damning) quote is one in which Neff says he would not get Lasik surgery under any circumstances. How racist & bigoted!!!!

He’ll have his best faux serious face on.

Yeah, nothing really racist, in that Neff’s coarsely stated observations are largely accurate, except for maybe his “Congo ……” comment (which I’m guessing is the main reason he was fired.) Nevertheless, Neff certainly hasn’t been living under a rock for the last 12 years, and must know how intolerant and influential his opponents are…and more importantly, how important Tucker’s mission is. How could he have risked that for a few moments of venting?

I actually know the answer to that…because I vent in similar ways when the frustration factor with the far left gets high enough. And our country still has a first amendment…for the time being. It’s wrong that he was made to quit, but the practical truth is that if he didn’t, probably the Ted Cruz’s and Jim Jordan’s of the world would stop appearing on Tucker’s segments.

When all is said and done, however, Neff’s comments are an example of someone from the right defacing the metaphorical monuments of the left. Those monuments are eventually coming down, one way or another.

Legal boards were one of the last good obscure niches on the internet where smart, creative, interesting people could have unmoderated discussion. AutoAdmit’s days are clearly numbered and JDU has already been dismantled.

Those legal boards sure kept a low profile. I never heard of any such places. And what is JDU? Google is no help.

Anglin has a good write up on the doxxer and why he did it:

cnn-journalist-who-doxed-tucker-carlsons-writer-is-a-persian-dissident-targeting-war-critics

” anything you write here is probably safe”

a really stupid and dangerous position.

But who stoutly defends those who do.

Well, he did say that he wouldn’t get LASIK done by an Asian, even for free. But I think the real offense was referring to Asians as Azn in other posts. The stalking/mocking of the womyn is douchey, but not the stuff worthy of a lynching.

If society keeps producing tough white women, that’s because only tough white woman are able to pass on their genes. It’s Darwin at work. If you want a dainty, delicate, polite woman to marry, the man who bonds with her is going to have to do all the heavy lifting in the marriage. He’s going to have to be the sole money-earner so she can stay home to raise the kids and be protected against the coarsening effects of working life, and he’s going to have to pass on enough cash to his delicate kids so that they can reproduce while they’re still young. They have to have trust funds paying them enough to support a family while they’re still young enough to reproduce, in their twenties or so. Inheriting in their 60s after a hard life struggling doesn’t cut it. They need that money in their 20s so they can get a family going.

Darwinian survival means enough resources need to be passed onto the kids when it matters, not just in their childhood, but in their young adulthood so they can get a leg up over their peers in competition. The WASP class that dominated America for so long knew this, and didn’t throw their young into the ocean and tell them to swim. It carefully steered, educated, gave jobs to, and gave cash to their young adults so they were well-positioned in life. This is how and why the WASP caste kept itself in power so long. The British nobility and elite classes gave their youngsters blatant advantages for centuries, and that’s how the elite stayed elite.

A philosophy that it’s good to throw your young to the wolves is coming from your enemies. Yes, you’ll have some strong kids here and there that survive the wolves, but many will slide back down the social ladder, and they’ll have trouble forming families. The low reproduction rate of our white higher classes vs. black ghetto rats is a testimony to that.

Darwin doesn’t care for nice. Darwin cares about what survives. Yes, being strong means you’ll survive, but so does being clever. Clever people don’t throw their kids to the wolves in hopes that somehow, their offspring will survive the process. If they think their offspring need toughening up, they enroll their kids in the armed forces. Joining the army has been used for centuries by the elite for turning your offspring into leaders and toughening them up. In fact, it used to be expected that elites would do a stint in the army to improve their mettle. Clever people understand that leaders need training, not being kicked off a cliff and told to cope with what happens afterwards.

Do you know why the US used to have better presidents? Because many of them had done a stint in the army. Military service was expected of them. It taught character, command, mental toughness, and honor.

Neff should sue CNN. Interference in his employment.

And yes President Biden will set up a final solution China wise to White men. White women are full on board.

Even if you are right (which I kind of doubt), it would still be nice for you to offer the chance for us to replace our email sign-in names and/or IP addresses. It really couldn’t be very much work for you, and as I noted before some of us used real emails for whatever reasons.

Also, your website purports to allow us to make our user post history unavailable….

(Commenters may request that their archives be hidden by contacting the appropriate blogger)

…but when I tried this, nothing happened.

Domain registries are authorized by ICANN a quasi public non-profit charged with acting in the public interest. ICANN is located in California, you can get jurisdiction over it in a Cal court. It has published policies, procedures and I am sure subject to our notions of due process.

Can you explain VDARE’s recent domain registry crisis, then?

Tucker could say, “We believe in freedom and we don’t look into our staff’s private lives, as you would not like your employer to look into your private life.”

The “Easter Egg” thing or whatever work-related screenshots Neff supposedly shared online, if these are real things that actually happened, could be a violation of Neff’s actual or implied employment contract. Anyway, if I were his employer, it would at least annoy me and might be grounds for dismissal.

But whatever Tucker’s personal/professional reaction, he’s probably under pressure from whichever Murdoch runs Fox News to denounce Neff or be ejected himself, so Tucker’s own views may be beside the point.

Fox News could respond the same way as Tucker, above. Since Neff already resigned (whether under duress or not), nobody has to create a rationale. Indeed, they need not even comment at all. Of course Fox News has already announced that Tucker will comment, so they obviously have some statement in mind they want Tucker to make. It is tediously predictable what that is likely to be.

Inasmuch as Neff already resigned, I’m not sure he has anything to defend. His apparently mild comments are fairly obviously true if somewhat snarky, but if snark is a crime, the gulags will soon be full of young lefties and righties. Of course this isn’t about standards, this is about harming Tucker. For Neff, the real damage is to his “reputation”. In quotes, because there is not an objective thing there, but Neff will be unemployable in anything connected to the Globohomo Hivemind, which is increasingly anything connected to earning a paycheck. Not that he has done anything seriously wrong, just that the MSM is expert at painting its enemies as vile untouchables, and most employers respond with don’t-call-us-we’ll-call-you, so it’s not like you have a chance to defend yourself in court, cross-examine witnesses and evidence, etc. You’re just unpersoned, and that’s the end of it: no appeal, no counterclaim, no refutation. It’s not that response is disallowed, it’s just irrelevant. Inside the Beltway has rejected you, Outside the Beltway has been informed you are a liability. They will move on to their next candidate. Plenty of fish in the sea, but you’re no longer of them. Unpersonings are in some ways more deadly than lawfare. In law, there is a least a pretense of leveling the playing field and equal rights, if you have the money or support and fortitude to fight back. In unpersonings, Globohomo just blots you out, the end.

https://esqnever.blogspot.com/2019/07/what-happened-to-jd-underground-jdu.html

It’s interesting the article starts not by noting some comment of Neff’s but by noting the title of a thread he posted to. Guilt by association. (Tiny Duck and Corvinus should keep this in mind!) Also, we all should remember that there are people like them who post here and also possible woke lurkers who read without posting.

On Monday night it will prove interesting if Tucker throws Neff under the bus. Tucker’s behavior should prove if he’s just another flash in the pan.

Carlson “throwing him under the bus” is an egregiously invalid characterization.

Neff took an extended “flyer” by posting to an outlier group–that is, outliers in the general public discourse–and got nailed by his passionate, some say crazy, opposition. So now his boss has been dragged into it, which hampers his bosses ability to communicate, which is what Carlson is paid to do.

When you have more of a voice, you are saddled with more responsibility. Carlson didn’t ask Neff to post in that forum. Neff chose to. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

CNN’s game is easy to identify: deconstruct satirical comments as literal, and mischaracterize a man’s “shorthand” flip remarks as the doors into that man’s heart–unless it’s one of them.

Neff made himself vulnerable to that game, and by doing so, brought his boss into it.

I’ve worked for many corporations. If I brought my boss unwillingly into a public shitstorm, simply because of my ego, I would expect to be fired. The specifics of the elements that produced the outcome are irrelevant. Neff could have posted “there is no god,” and if he was found out, Carlson would be right to let him go. It would be too polarizing a claim, going outside the general preview of Carlson’s show, whether Carlson agreed or not.

Neff was fucking around. His job is connected to his boss. He brought his boss into it… and that’s that.

I believe if I had Neff’s plumb job, I’d NEVER post on ANY outlier site, anonymously or not. It’s just good corporate hygiene. And for fuck’s sake! He was getting paid VERY well NOT to! That responsibility is a part of his pay scale.

Professionally, Neff was a slob. He inadvertently brought his stink to work with him. Regardless of his intent, that’s asking to be fired. Any corporation would do it. Has nothing to do with Fox in general, or Carlson’s personal inclinations in particular. More to do with Neff’s ego.

It’s ironic, but typical that the ego required for Neff to earn his professional position is the same ego that wound up cutting him off at the knees.

Neff’s antagonist to overcome isn’t Fox, or even CNN.

It’s him. His existential battle is with himself.

Ron – what would you do if you got a subpoena for email addresses of participants here?

What if Patreon got a subpoena?

The more obscure, the better. There used to be many, during the height of “The Law School Scam” period. Disaffected and under/unemployed lawyers would congregate to discuss job opportunities, rates of pay in doc review, discuss what small shops to avoid working in etc and it went from there, taking on a life of its own

NQOT: Mayor of Seoul #MeTooed to death. Probably suicide.

How the dramatic death of Seoul’s mayor left a country divided

Neff is from South Dakota, which would suggest he’s gentile.

People tend to associate German sounding surnames with Jews in the US because lots of American Jews have German surnames. But the vast majority of American Jews are from the coasts and places like Chicago. People from flyover states like the Dakotas with Germanic surnames tend to be gentiles with German, Dutch, Scandinavian etc. ancestry.

Justice, solidarity, and firing squads. In the mind of a Marxist, all three of these go well together.

do these images, as saved off of a web page, not have identifying info that identifies the phone, or would that be only in the whole file itself, on the phone or a computer?

This photo has exif data including GPS data…

A photo taken with a GPS-enabled camera can reveal the location and time it was taken, and the type of device it was taken with, but there is no unique identifier for the phone or camera per se.

For example, unless the exif data was altered, the above photo was taken with an iphone 4 on September 4, 2011.

This is the GPS data I found embedded in that .jpg using exiftool…

GPS Altitude : 0 m Above Sea Level
GPS Date/Time : 2011:09:04 11:07:47Z
GPS Latitude : 38 deg 54′ 35.40″ N
GPS Longitude : 1 deg 26′ 19.20″ E
GPS Position : 38 deg 54′ 35.40″ N, 1 deg 26′ 19.20″ E

If you’re looking to determine the unique camera from which a photo was taken then you’re talking about something called Photo Response Non Uniformity. Photo Response Non Uniformity has been used for Source Camera Identification. That is a little more complicated than reading exif data…

https://www.phonearena.com/news/Your-phones-camera-has-a-unique-ID-you-never-knew-about_id87786

And here is a paper that explores different methods of image source anonymization. Evidently a Photo Response Non Uniformity pattern can be transferred from one image to another for malicious use or deception…

Interestingly, whatever photo editing software the staff of PeakStupidity is using to resize images is stripping most the photos of most of their exif data. I did find some data in the pizza photo. It informs me that the device on which that photo was taken is associated with an apple profile that was created on July 7, 2017. There is no GPS data in the pizza photo.

Good question. Maybe say that he offered to resign rather than being pushed, which would take the heat off Tucker for ‘throwing him under the bus’ and at the same time at least allow Neff to be framed as ‘taking one for the team’ which is at least a noble gesture and implies they both see there is a greater cause that is best served by him leaving.

I guess if was Tucker I would stress the fact that those on the right are under a great deal more scrutiny than those on the left. I would point out some of the outrageous things that leftists have said and done and got away with it. This at least gives the chance for the audience to recontextualise Neff’s remarks as being tame in comparison to those of leftists, but without Tucker actually making this explicit.

Then he could tell the audience that although this is unfair, this is the way things are and the only choice left for those on the right is to hold themselves to a very high standard that the left don’t hold themselves to. At least then he would have alerted his viewers to the difficulty of the situation and made them aware they are fighting against difficult odds. But that they are fighting and will never stop fighting because the things that are at stake are worth fighting for.

The real target of course is Tucker himself.

They are both real targets. Any White man with talent, integrity, and the courage of his convictions is a target. It is part of a strategy to decapitate White intellectual and leadership resources from the White body politic.

Don’t know why that last link stopped working, try this one instead…

Tucker could say, “We believe in freedom and we don’t look into our staff’s private lives, as you would not like your employer to look into your private life.”

This seems insufficient here. It may be better to address the substance of Neff’s comments, on moral grounds. You do so later in your comment:

His apparently mild comments are fairly obviously true if somewhat snarky, but if snark is a crime, the gulags will soon be full of young lefties and righties.

What if Tucker said that?

“the interesting people are his writers”

When I think of writers I don’t think interesting. I just think of a bag of assholes.

Get a good-looking girlfriend, post a post-sex in bed photo with the light shining upon her face on twitter

Tucker does the same with his wife.

Problem. Solved.

Maybe a butt-slapping video, and of the wife or gf (in a white men’s shirt) running away giggling.

It would be super fun though if Tucker were to be like ‘Our Head Writer, Neff, has left to pursue other interests’ and then on the screen a Photo of Neff with a Super Hot Chick looking adoringly at him.

This is how we’ll win.

Semi-OT:

One of the founders of official corporate cancel culture is trying to cancel her partner.

https://hotair.com/archives/ed-morrissey/2020/07/10/peak-2020-co-founder-cancel-culture-activist-group-wants-cancel-partner-canceled-something/

I don’t know much about “Sleeping Giants,” but she is really proud of all the companies and people she has gotten canceled, which is just kind of sad.

Her own site continues to gloat about all the companies she has canceled, but ultimately she looks like she’s mostly in it for the money. She’s all about corporate brand consulting now. It’s like a protection racket for companies from the hordes of fifth grade girls that our society has become who won’t let us sit at their table in the cafeteria.

https://nandinijammi.com/

Maybe her partner can come out as trans and just crush her.

Tucker is not a target. Y’all be smoking some good shit. Cuz he’s one of them.

you are praising ann coulter who never married and has zero children.

As Almost Missouri, pointed out, she resolutely defends those that to. Not every single white woman has to marry and have children. If she did have children, perhaps she would be more circumspect in what she says, fearing that she might damage their life prospects. As an unattached woman, she is at more liberty to tell it like it is.

In unpersonings, Globohomo just blots you out, the end.

You explained it well, but I can’t help but think that this creation of an army of disaffected will redound upon the woke; Kipling’s “Earth arose and crushed it”.

People do change. Pat Buchanan did. Ann Coulter did. Why there was a time when Steve himself used to write for the National Review (although I don’t think that Steve has changed, so much as NR did).

I don’t know what Neff’s family circumstances are. But if I were him I would sign up for six months at a Muay Thai kick-boxing camp in Thailand. One outside a city. One that has banana stalks growing that you can try your kick boxing skills on.
Six months at Muay Thai, in a far way foreign land, very different culture, will give a whole new perspective on life and toughen him up for his next job. He looks like a hairless blob.

I guess this is what the NY Times puts down as:

he contributed to message threads in which other writers used racial slurs.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/11/business/media/tucker-carlson-writer-blake-neff.html

This is mild stuff, but I guess that if I want to keep my job, I better not comment on any thread where someone else has used an ethnic slur.

It’s interesting, a night or two before this happened, Tucker was questioning why Ghislaine Maxwell came back to America. He was implying that something funny was going on. Deal making, etc.

“I know she has at least one foreign passport,” he sneered, with pointed disgust, referring to her dual citizenship (and peculiar relationship) with Israel. “Wow!” I thought. “That’s kind of ballsy, Tucker. Better watch it.”

And here we are.

Any White man with talent, integrity, and the courage of his convictions is a target. It is part of a strategy to decapitate White intellectual and leadership resources from the White body politic.

Correct. By severely limiting what can be publicly discussed. Your job is in danger if you stray outside. The right intelligentsia gets neutered. And this is the same shit-hook left that self-righteously crusaded against McCarthyism, which was not even one tenth as pervasive as what censorship racket the left goon squads are running today.

The second comment is not what one would call “racist”, perhaps a bit insensitive.

Actually, I’d call it “true”.

I’d like to be a fly on the wall to conversations of left-wing journalists, black protesters, black anyone, Democratic politicians.

Hmmm… How bout this?

Stop calling them journolists

Start calling them what they are: TERRORISTS

Most people don’t care if we lose self-determination.

They say we deserve it because our ancestors were conquerors.

No one calls the ANC government a tyrannical dictatorship, even though a conservative government cannot be elected.

On the flip side I guess that means there’s a vacancy. Why don’t you send in your CV, Steve?

Get real! The slot that just opened up at Tucker. That plum job is going to a POC or a lesbian bull dyke. Can you imagine if the tptb at Fox forced Tucker to hire a trans-whatever to make Tucker bullet proof? Stranger things have happened.

The race and homophobic stuff looked quite mild to me. More disturbing was him posting about some random acquaintances’ dating history. Now I’m all for the 1st amendment but that does seem creepy

Guess what’s trending on Twitter.

But it’s Jews being ironic.

https://twitter.com/search?q=%23JewishPrivilege&src=trend_click

I hereby volunteer to put on the dress in order to funnel iSteve content directly into cable news watchers’ homes.

He’s spot on about a large percentage of whites having a biologically-based urge to cheer on their own destruction.

A large percentage of Whites have a biologically-based urge to hold a job that feeds their families and to have a place in polite society. You’ve got to control for the enormous coercion/disincentives being applied to white people, before you can draw any conclusions about “biology.”

From your post to God’s ears.

But if I were him I would sign up for six months at a Muay Thai kick-boxing camp in Thailand. One outside a city. One that has banana stalks growing that you can try your kick boxing skills on.

I’d do it myself if I wasn’t so badass already.

>>Yagoda was sure of his immunity to the very end.<<

Yes! Beria too! Actually all of the NKVD heads were purged/killed but one guy in the late 20s who died of actual heart disease.

Of course the Kancellation Komrades are not so powerful or even to be feared.

Of course if you are employed by others (or even have random clients/customers) as I have been, you should be circumspect about voicing your political opinions publicly. Just common sense unless you want to screen potential customers/employers for their politics.

I should also note something relevant here. Fear of speaking up isn't new. Many decades ago I regularly attended/organized various public protests in front of federal buildings and even voting sites (that was disastrous, only done once). Surprised that in regards to tax protests many of the public agreed with me but admitted they were afraid of being seen/known for having sympathy with these anti government views.

I tried to argue that there was no reason to be fearful, and that if you acted as if you were in the USSR you may as well be there already. Still, people were very afraid of the IRS especially.

If you behave like you are a slave when you're not, for no good reason, you already are.

Tucker dogwhistles ever so vaguely about Jewish/Israeli control of America. Big Deal. Bill O’Reilly would do something similar with “Hollywood liberals.” This is just more of the same with a younger face and slight updates to the rhetoric.

One thing Tucker could do if he were serious would be to go after the ADL hard. The ADL is the leader and coordinator of the modern censorship movement. It’s also really powerful, overtly Jewish and essentially part of the Israeli state. If Tucker were to make the ADL the main target of his rage for months and call the group “anti-white,” point out that the ADL are specifically Zionist Jews rather than just generic “liberals,” we would be getting somewhere. The ADL is indefensible.
Most conservatives, even pro-Israel ones, hate the ADL and would love to hear it being ripped to shreds.

Let’s see Tucker do that and also make it clear that the Israeli state is behind the Epstein child-rape gang. Then connect that to the Palestinians. Point out that white Americans are supporting the same people who raped their kids to ethnically cleanse an indigenous people. That would be the kind of thing that would have a real impact on white Americans. That’s the kind of thing that would lead to real change in America. What Tucker does now is just “totally extreme,” generation X flavored GOP cheerleading.

Also, he’s fat.

The Murdoch sons will have gotten their damage control boys (crisis external corporate communications) on the job immediately, when Neff forwarded the CNN message to them. They (CECC) then wrote the scripts for Suzanne Scott, Jay Wallace, and Tucker, pending approval by Legal.

Scott and Wallace’s decision to fire Neff would, however, have been automatic.

It’s a fait accompli, and Tucker has no say in the matter.

It won’t be (mostly fake) email addresses they want. It’ll be such things as IP locators, and more. Some of which they probably have already anyway.

Volunteer, that’s a good one! What about the dress you have on now? Note to my employer and iSteve, I was just kidding, not transphobic, pls no firing or banz as applicable. I’m a good little doggie, honest I am.

Here is a commentary on the text of the CNN article, refuting the scurrilous notion that Tucker’s writer posted anything racist.

CNN hitpiece on Tucker’s writer 1

CNN hitpiece on Tucker’s writer 2

The Overton window hasn’t shifted enough to permit going after high level Wokemon like Duckworth.

The Overton Window has shifted a lot under the Trump Presidency. The only trouble is, it’s shifted to the Left.

If Trump is re-elected it will shift even further Left.

There are plenty of cameras that will embed unique serial number information in the EXIF metadata.

EXIF field code #EXIF5002 is specifically allocated for this purpose.

It would be great if Tucker showed how insignificant the posts were and called on Fox to rehire him. Of course Tucker would be fired.

And our country still has a first amendment…

Which in practice no longer protects free speech. If you can have your career wrecked and your life destroyed for trying to exercise free speech then you no longer have free speech.

Which is something the Right seems to be incapable of understanding.

They can do that now because twitter has purged most remaining dissident accounts since the BLM riots started. With no censorship at all on twitter, serious posts about Jewish privilege would outnumber ironic ones at least 10-1.

Yeah, I’m waiting for the Army Of The Disaffected to reach critical mass, such that it has internet registrars and payment processors and heck, even a currency would be nice. Then I can join too.

Maybe after November 4th…

Well, he did say that he wouldn’t get LASIK done by an Asian, even for free.

Given the context of a thread asking if people’d get LASIK done by someone from Congo for half off, it seemed like a pretty clear reference to affirmative action to me, with the meaning that ben tillman inferred from it.

If anything, his “offense” in that comment is the implication that he’d take race into account in choosing his doctor.

You never watched Street Outlaws? It’s the name of the Asian guy.

Surprised that in regards to tax protests many of the public agreed with me but admitted they were afraid of being seen/known for having sympathy with these anti government views.

I’d be curious to know what time period you’re talking about – the early 80s, late 70s, when? And roughly what part of the country? People were afraid principally of the IRS, but also the media I guess?

You have laid out a good response.

But I can’t help but think that Neff did nothing wrong, and is just being punished for having the wrong political thoughts.

Our side still has the mentality that if we are nice enough, the Left will not continue their campaign of crushing and obliterating us.

If anyone admitted they even knew what unz was, they’d be complicit, guilt by association.

Unz.com: the site that dare not speak its name.

(Am I the only one who finds the “Lord Voldemort Effect” hilarious? There is something about posting on a website that is just too far gone that holds infinite appeal [to me, anyway].)

I wonder if there are any leftist euphemisms for unz.com floating around? I expect referring to it as “that website” (or perhaps “the website”?) would get tedious rather quickly.

Reading the iSteve piece, it only reinforces my fear that Carlson will be bye-byeski by January–either voluntarily or, uh, “voluntarily.” I don’t seem him being eighty-sixed but then again, we’ll see. By then he will have a podcast off and running

Yes, but you run down the list of (at least vaguely starboard) women in topical commentary, and you see this pattern. Laura Schlessinger (widowed, no children), Ann Coulter (childless spinster), Cathy Young (childless spinster), Laura Ingraham (spinster, children adopted from abroad), Monica Crowley (childless spinster), Mandy Nagy (divorced, no children, now retired due to a stroke), Megan McArdle (married, no children), Kathryn Jean Lopez (childless spinster); Helen Andrews, nee Rittlemeyer (married, no children).

Michelle Malkin and Elizabeth Hasselbeck are married with children. Hasselbeck quit working about five years ago.

It would be great if Tucker showed how insignificant the posts were and called on Fox to rehire him.

All he has to do is discuss how insignificant, joking, or factual the posts are. Contextualize them. And express sorrow for hurt feelings.

You couldn’t be more wrong, Ron. There’s already a scandal underway from an Unz doxxing. Some guy that Kris Kobach hired to file paperwork has been revealed to post at Unz.com. Kobach fired him, but a rival PAC is about to launch a multimillion dollar ad-blitz trying to smear Kobach as a racist who hires Unz posters.

It’s a comin’.

Maybe Fox conveniently benefits by this timing in solving their Tucker “problem”. The Murdoch boys are subsidizing cable’s biggest talent hour afterall, due to the cowering fascist 500 who became too terrified to advertise. Maybe he should move to a paying subscriber situation – he’s too important to be left to the vagaries of Fox’s board.

No comment.

>>I’d be curious to know what time period you’re talking about – the early 80s, late 70s, when? And roughly what part of the country? People were afraid principally of the IRS, but also the media I guess?<<

Early 70s and beyond. For a while every April 15th or so. Houston.

I never heard of any concerns about the media. Back then several TV stations and one or both major newspapers would often cover these. There were regular "last minute" April 15th filing rushes at the major downtown P.O. so there was always media. Sometimes we did the downtown federal building also.

But some of the public voiced concerns over being "on the list" with the IRS. Since we didn't keep lists and cameras were rare back then, I really didn't get that concern. Of course the IRS might try to keep track of tax protesters who don't file, or those who urged others not to do so. We didn't advocate that in the demonstrations. Just generic bitching. But some people were very paranoid. I would say to them that we have "free speech" and if you are too afraid to speak, you may as well live elsewhere like Russia.

There was no Social Media back then, or electronic tax filing. Overall we did get mostly positive feedback. (However I have a pending IRS FOIA request to see what if anything they did keep on me, FYI.)

Phyllis Schlafly, a role model from the past. After raising a large family she graduated law school and then single-handedly stopped the misnamed Equal Rights Amendment in its tracks!

Such as?

A number of the women you mentioned are indeed “vaguely” right in the sense of not really being conservative at all. As a general rule, I am more inclined to trust people in government and “opinion making” (for want of a better term) who do have children, and therefore a direct stake in the future. My earlier post was a defence of Ann Coulter specifically. I think she is very much an exception.

Get a good-looking girlfriend, post a post-sex in bed photo with the light shining upon her face on twitter
Tucker does the same with his wife.

Paris Hilton shows the way:

This covers the same spot, but more striking is the mask reference at the beginning– 12 years before they became a fad:

What did Jeff Zucker know about Matt Lauer? Has anyone asked this question? Wasn’t Jeff part of the Today Show when all of that stuff was going on? Maybe a little investigation into CNN is warranted.

Nevertheless, Neff certainly hasn’t been living under a rock for the last 12 years, and must know how intolerant and influential his opponents are…and more importantly, how important Tucker’s mission is. How could he have risked that for a few moments of venting?

It seems to me that this Neff fellow should be able to say whatever he pleases in his spare time. Is this not so?

I am intrigued by the (apparently now widely accepted) idea that what you do in your spare time reflects on your employer. Well, isn’t your spare time just that, yours?

When did it become acceptable for employers to expect their employees to toe the line, not just whilst on the job, but wherever they went, and at any time of day? How is that any different from the slavery the left so widely decries?

It seems to me that the American political right is focussed on quite the wrong things. Rather than attempting to defend what this Neff fellow said in his spare time, wouldn’t the right stand a better chance of prevailing if they couched the matter in terms of, “What Neff said in his spare time has nothing to do with the Tucker Carlson show and is no one’s business but his own”?

Isn’t it high time that the American political right flung the left’s utter lack of decency back in their teeth? Leftists can burn, loot, and destroy with impunity, but this chap makes a few innocuous remarks on a message board and that’s it, his life is over? Really?

Writers or no, if Tucker Carlson can’t turn this around and reveal these cretinous, obnoxious busybodies for who they really are, he isn’t half the man the Americans have made him out to be.

Thank you, Steve. This is an excellent reframing.

What is an IP locator? It’s not like the geographic location of subnets aren’t well known.

Unz.com should stop providing comment histories for regular accounts beyond 6 months or so.

No. People who write many/extensive comments under a recognizable handle presumably aren’t doing it to have those comments disappear into the aether. Content-wise, it would be as stupid as having Steve’s blog posts also disappear after six months. I often cite old comments by myself and others; it cuts down on having to rewrite points over and over, and it holds regulars accountable to their rhetoric over time (i.e., it’s harder to bullshit readers). But if you’re worried, stay “anonymous”.

Tragically, hordes of modern white women have lost all of their feminine graces, have disfigured themselves with tramp-stamps, and have become so loud-mouthed and brutish that they are intolerable.

Outside of Eastern Europe and most of Southeast Asia (maybe also Latin America), this change has been global. White-American women aren’t especially unique. You’ll find these same changes in women from Western Europe, the Middle East, East Asia, and South Asia…. Well, except the “tramp stamp.” That seems mostly confined to the West.

If it makes you feel better, you’ll find that other Anglo women (British, Aussie, Kiwi) are probably even worse. Other than maybe France, raging feminism is the norm across the entire West.

East Asia has its own version of raging feminism, if perhaps a bit more subdued. The Middle East and South are pretty conservative in many respects (family-based, religious, marriage-oriented), but the women are huge shrews and battle axes. In many respects, worse than White-American women. As for non-white women in America, I’d say Blacks are worse, while other races aren’t significantly better.

Lots of White nationalist men like to go off to Eastern Europe (especially Russia). Though even there, you’re dealing with women who are very cunning and untrustworthy. Femme fatales.

Then when I called her up she had the balls …

See, now that’s your problem. You’re much better off without her/him.

As Hammerjack says, commenters’ IP addresses and probably more is already known or available to intel agencies. But they have other things to do … for now.

In order to get a subpoena, you have to have a lawsuit or indictment, so the Unz Review would have to be sued or indicted for something first. And then it would have to be suit or indictment relating to something in the comments so that commenter data could be subpoenaed.

The point of comment moderation is to keep actionable material (threats, libel, etc.) out of the comments so that lawsuits never start.

That said, if a suit does start, one hopes the Unz Review has a hygienic practice of maintaining the minimum amount commenter metadata.

I am sorry I do not know the facts of vdare domain name crises. When I type in vdare.com I seem to get the page I always got. There are many social media sites that disappeared without a word of public notice, discussion or forwarding information. They are still gone with their publishers having little chance of recovering their audience.

As I said verisign might unperson you (if you are a com) but you have legal recourse. If wordpress does not want you on their platform you are finished. If Vdare.com registered vdare.ru (the russian top level domain) and pointed both names to the same site and told all their users if they have trouble getting to vdare.com go to our backup site vdare.ru, well then they would have been online while all the legalities of verisign and vdare.com were sorted out.

A lot of people wonder why Whites acquiesced so easily on issues like segregation, interracial marriage, and mass non-Euro migration. I think your post offers a glimpse into the thought process of the average middle-class White suburbanite. These lines are especially relevant.

if you are employed by others (or even have random clients/customers) as I have been, you should be circumspect about voicing your political opinions publicly.

many of the public agreed with me but admitted they were afraid of being seen/known for having sympathy with these anti government views.

If you behave like you are a slave when you’re not, for no good reason, you already are.

Way back in the “old days,” most Whites lived in difficult circumstances and had to fight for survival. So Whites grew up to be scrappy and tough. That’s why they reacted so ferociously, often engaging in race riots and labor riots.

During the post-WWII era, many Whites moved from gritty urban areas and hardscrabble small towns into leafy suburbs. It was at that point that prosperity became a reality for the masses.
However, with prosperity, came the fear that you could lose it all and go back into poverty. So people became more subservient to the increasingly powerful govt and big corps, who had the power to destroy people’s lives.

When the Jews took control of the media and govt during the 60s and 70s, they forced a civil rights agenda down the throats of the White masses. While most Whites didn’t like it at all, they feared the consequences of fighting back. Of course, some did fight back, but they got punished. That served as an example for everyone else.

At this point, you’ve had several generations of Whites who’ve grown up in relative comfort and are fairly effete as a consequence. Whites also exist in a social milieu that’s increasingly atomized, so nobody has anybody’s back anymore. That’s why something like labor agitation, which used to be so frequent in America, no longer exists.

Very interesting, thanks. I’m always curious to get glimpses of what things were really like on the ground back in a time like the 70s. Let us know if you ever find anything out from your Freedom of Information request.

You expect Carlson – with the highest rated show in cable news’ history – to throw himself under the bus because Neff was careless enough to let his guard down? Neff is eminently replaceable – heck, there must a dozen iSteve regulars who could churn out his type of copy.

I have been posting on autoadmit for more than 10 years now. Most regular readers there have known for a well over a year now that the poster CharlesXII was the top writer for Tucker Carlson. Neff/charles dropped lots of deliberate clues on the forum, and even worked into carlson’s scripts several references to some well known autoadmit “inside jokes.” He let his pride lead him into dangerous territory. After some time has passed, I believe that many autoadmit posters (and by the way, the site is generally known as ‘xo’) will come to admit that charles/neff’s actions led to his own downfall. Pride goeth before a fall.

As to your assertion that “Neff is eminently replaceable” and that “there must a dozen iSteve regulars who could churn out his type of copy,” I strongly disagree. Neff has an IQ that I would estimate to be somewhere around 140, and he is extremely well-read. Those attributes are not common. And not common on isteve for sure…however, there are a number of xo/autoadmit regulars who could fill neff’s shoes…and probably do an even better job…\

i have posted on many dozens of web forums since 1995 (starting with usenet), and I have never seen a forum with as high an average IQ and level of education as autoadmit/xo. …isteve is higher than most forums, but nowhere near xo…there is no poster here on isteve that i have ever read (and i have been reading sailer since he posted on blogspot) that could fill neff’s shoes…

512 Rusk — I remember you. I went to Lee High School, UT, UT Law. Lol – small world.

Mr. Smith, firstly I’m so glad to have someone like you who can answer these questions in somewhat of a nutshell! (Of course, you know I know of your computer bonafides from your comments on Peak Stupidity.)

Now, the PRNU business (I just read your first linked-to article) is interesting. I suppose, so long as that PRNU profile was not saved by the manufacturer, someone can tell which pictures came from the same phone, but not whom that phone belongs to (barring a search warrant and your forgetting to flush your phone down the toilet).

Regarding the metadata stuff (to you and TWGH), I figured it worked like that. Therefore, if one just screenshots an image on his computer/tablet screen that was taken from his camera, at that point, the image should be missing all that. Does the tablet/computer software put in it’s own, different but still revealing, info into this new jpg? The next question is if you do a “save image” of a pic on a webpage, then the metadata gets saved too, does it not (after all, you are downloading the photo file itself)?

Peak Stupidity mostly gets photos off of bing images, so whatever info is contained doesn’t give away anything. Any taken with whatever phones could be anonymized by just ptr-scrn, then pasting into the image software and going from there. No, that pizza was not mine. We eat the pepperonis right away, so the swasticker couldn’t have lasted long enough for a photo!

Thanks for all the great information. Of course, I’ve got nothing to hide. This is for a friend of mine, yeah, that’s the ticket.

Lower the camera ~ 8 inches and mash mute. It’s WAY more pleasant to watch that way.

Tucker was a hardcore neocon for many years before his miraculous transformation.

No, he wasn’t.

Tucker Carlson was pro-Ron Paul.

He came out against the Iraq War in 2004.

https://observer.com/2004/05/newly-dovish-tucker-carlson-goes-publickimmel-writer-ribs-times/

he’s changed his mind about the war in Iraq. “I think it’s a total nightmare and disaster, and I’m ashamed that I went against my own instincts in supporting it,” he said. “It’s something I’ll never do again. Never. I got convinced by a friend of mine who’s smarter than I am, and I shouldn’t have done that. No. I want things to work out, but I’m enraged by it, actually.”

His views on racial diversity back in 2004 (same article).

For instance, he said, “I was thinking this morning: ‘Diversity is the strength of our country.’ Oh yeah? How’s that? Why don’t you explain that to me? I don’t see that. I mean, is diversity the strength of the Balkans? No.”

He was critical of Israel back in 2002.

CARLSON: Wait — hold it Mr. Ambassador, this is with all due respect, more than a difference of opinion. Our president, President Bush was very clear in his demand to Israel. Israel ignored him in what many interpret as in an insulting way. That’s fine, that’s Israel’s right. But the question then arises, why should the U.S. taxpayers continue to send $3 billion to Israel if Israel, our closest ally in the region, insults this way? Why?

CARLSON: … my question is why should U.S. taxpayers continue to pay for …

CARLSON: … subsidize a country that insults us.

the behavior today at the Church of the Nativity where Israeli soldiers threw a bomb in it, set the church on fire. According to eyewitnesses, including Franciscan (ph) priests within the church, and in fact shot someone in the church. How can you defend that?

CNN employees who say that Israeli soldiers rammed the CNN truck and fired a bullet into the windshield of it. Now they’re — in the last 10 days there have been 20 journalists shot at by Israeli soldiers. Five have been struck by bullets. One “The Boston Globe” was shot.

From what I recall, back during the 90s and 2000s, Tucker Carlson was an independent-minded conservative. Often quite anti-interventionist and critical of Israel. Very far from being a Neocon.

My recollection of Tucker Carlson is very different from yours.

The type of Conservatives who were on Crossfire (Tucker Carlson, Pat Buchanan, Robert Novak) often had views that could be considered “Paleo.” Anti-war, skeptical of Israel, isolationist, culturally traditional. Not Neocon.

Stop calling them journolists

Start calling them what they are: TERRORISTS

and Hacks.

What a combination.

Is this the parody of “We Didn’t Start the Fire” that Neff wrote?

Thanks for an excellent post–and the reminder of why Tucker has been fired from so many big media jobs. Has anyone ever proved Fitzgerald (“there are no second acts in American lives”) more wrong?

Most people just dont bother. I use fake names and have about 10 random e-mails for different sites.

I can’t pull up anything if I try to look for myself using a search engine, not even a facebook account that I barely use. Which you would think is, because my last name is incredibly rare.

I don’t have a twitter or any other social media accounts, so maybe that has something to do with it. I prefer anonymous chat boards where I can change my name on a whim.

Helen Andrews is pregnant.

I didn't say "Some personal news . . ." because in this case I actually do have some personal news as well: The Andrews family will be getting its first new addition, a boy, in September.

‘Unz.com should stop providing comment histories for regular accounts beyond 6 months or so. Simply doing that would make a potential doxxing more difficult.’

It’s hard to think of a legitimate reason why it should be available for longer than that.

Freud would say he wanted to be doxed and wanted people to know what his views are.
Your name is awesome by the way.

Tucker Swanson McNear Carlson has a step mother “called” Patricia Caroline Swanson. He’s the heir to the Swanson TV dinner fortune. He should’t be worried one bit about losing his job.

He should’t be worried one bit about losing his job.

Maybe not. But we should be worried about his losing it.

Isn’t it high time that the American political right flung the left’s utter lack of decency back in their teeth?

To do that the political right would require principles, a sense of decency and courage. They have none of those things.

Neff and Scott Alexander might be the top two young public intellectuals to emerge in the last decade.

Then let this serve as a gentle reminder that an I.Q. score doesn’t seem to be able to confer judgement.

I have a friend who’s a surgeon. This is a conversation I had with him years ago…

Me: You went through medical school and your residency with the same group of people, right?

Him: Yep.

M: How many would that be?

H: 124

M: So because you spent so many years with the same group of people, you got to know most of them personally, as well as professionally? You’ve seen them under all kinds of stress through the years?

H: Of course.

M: Okay, so let’s say you had to undergo an operation which was a bit tricky, and any dumb mistake could put you six feet under, but as long as your doctor was skilled, it wouldn’t be a problem. How many doctors in your class would you be confident of operating on you?

H: I’d say probably four.

M: Four out of 124 practicing physicians? Why so low a number? You went to a great medical school. Everyone had to have great SAT scores or they wouldn’t have been there.

H: Because you can’t teach judgement. It’s a quality that seems connected to IQ, but IQ doesn’t seem determine it.

Ask Tucker Carlson.

Here is a commentary on the text of the CNN article, refuting the scurrilous notion that Tucker’s writer posted anything racist.

Would it be good if Tucker Carlson went through these item-by-item on his show on Monday night?

Everything’s racism.

If that’s true, America is doomed.

Until now, I had not realized that Neff was such a high-octane intellectual.Then his being driven from the Public Square is even worse than I had first thought. What a damn shame!

At Fox, he could do what you’re suggesting for approximately one show, and it would never air. But who knows, maybe after he does eventually get fired from Fox, he will go rogue and create an indie platform and get more candid on those issues and others.

Probably not, though. The lack of true freedom of speech in America is very depressing. There are different levels of hell, though, and I’m very glad that Hillary Clinton is not our president, and I’m also glad that the worst of the worst Zionist Neocons–from Max Boot to Jennifer Rubin to Bill Kristol–are still crying themselves to sleep over Trump’s win. (And no, that’s not an act to bamboozle the goyim.) Also, I really, really don’t want Biden to win the election. I won’t argue with you if you tell me that Trump is a terrible president, but relative to Biden? Or anyone else who had an actual chance to win?

BTW, what does this mean?

“Point out that white Americans are supporting the same people who raped their kids to ethnically cleanse an indigenous people. ”

H: Because you can’t teach judgement. It’s a quality that seems connected to IQ, but IQ doesn’t seem determine it.

Where specifically does “judgment” enter in during surgery?

To do that the political right would require principles, a sense of decency and courage. They have none of those things.

The first two things you named sound impressive, certainly, but the right has not yet twigged that without the last quality, the first two cannot exist.

Every time another public figure is unpersonned by the left, I think,”This is it: this is the incident that will get the right wing moving at long last.”

And yet…it never happens. Either the right wing in the US believes they still have plenty of time to react, or they are committed to talking their way out of a situation that requires action, not talk.

Perhaps there is some of that much-heralded “5D chess” taking place here, but I am having a difficult time understanding how ceding fight after fight serves to attract people to the right. If there is anything the right still has to offer a battered and weary America at this point, they had better come out with it, and soon, before America irretrievably becomes a one-party state.
