With that said, I find myself being regularly surprised by the left. I really do. I'm constantly surprised by how insanely partisan they are. I use phrases like "we've hit peak absurdity" routinely, and them I'm proven wrong.
A post the other day mentioned NBC's flagrant acquisition of a chief deep state operator and serial traitor - former CIA Director John Brennan. The question was posed: could they possibly be any more blatant? The question was almost immediately answered, by coverage of the Olympics!
You have to keep in mind a couple things about the media. First: their primary objective is to serve the deep state. Before ideology, it's to maintain the power structure they benefit from. Second: Donald Trump is the primary threat to the deep state. He is the only threat of significance. Thus, the primary goal of the media is to destroy him at all costs. "Informing the public" is not an objective of the media, but pretending to do so is. It seems evident that the relevant media objective is actually "disinform the public." And in fact, studies support such a claim. Those who watch more corporate news are less informed.
In that context, consider the recent reporting from the Olympics. Mike Pence is there serving as Trump's proxy. Similarly, Kim Yo-jong is there as proxy to her brother Kim Jong-un, dictator of North Korea. I would not have predicted that the New York Times would blatantly side with the Propaganda Minister of a regime so brutal that the New York's Time's own beloved UN Human Rights Council declares their governance as a crime against humanity. I wouldn't have predicted the US press would fawn over a country that routinely threatens to nuke their own country, just to snub their own Vice-President, a perfectly decent man whose had a couple blunders but generally is a class act.
It's not that my internal model of them is wrong. I maintain that the liberals are psychologically programmed r-selected traitors. This reporting absolutely fits. The problem may be that I'm surprised that they'd be so blatant about it. They aren't even pretending to be reasonable any more. The reason they aren't would seem to be that they truly believe what they are saying. But that fits the model of this blog too. We don't call them The Cult for nothing.
The paradox is that I'm surprised by events, I go to update my worldview, and there's nothing to update. Why? I think there is something conflicting in a human-being using rationale to come to the conclusion that other humans are hyper-irrational. It's like the old trick Captain Kirk would play on robots. How can a human assume he is rational enough to prove another human is irrational? It's one of those conclusions that our rational side acknowledges but our deeper self wishes to reject, so we go on knowing it's true but mostly acting like it's not. We do the same with government surveillance. All this FISAgate stuff is serving to remind of what we already learned from Snowden: that the government is collecting much of our communications. We know that, but go about our lives just the same anyway. I'm wondering if there is a Biblical analogy that any readers are aware of. That evil could be so overwhelming that most people just act as if it isn't really there. Maybe that is the role of the prophet, who reminds people that the evil they're ignoring is real and will harm them.
So what about the New York Times? It's an evil force. It engages in insanity that I truly can not fathom. Will it hurt us? It already has. Over the weekend I read through all the Strzok/Page texts. I took some notes which I'll post here soon. Starting out, Page is a hard SJW but Strzok isn't quite that bad. He hates Trump, but he's not an over the top lefty. He rejects Affirmative Action, which is like heresy against The Cult. He almost seems like a decent guy outside his delusion, but for a couple things. First, he's obsessed with his career. Just like the deep-state, it's power first. Second, there's like 50,000 texts; they were texting constantly back and forth, and were supposedly having an affair. (No evidence of that in the texts that were released. Supposedly the OIG withheld the intimate ones but I don't know if that's true.) In none of the texts was anything ever funny. No jokes, no witty banter. They seem like people with no sense of humor. For a couple lovers conspiring against their government, it's a boring fling.
She sends him links to the New York Times constantly. This is her life: she works long hours, comes home, and stays up late stewing in New York Times deep state propaganda. She sends them to him and he becomes increasingly indoctrinated. Eventually he's convinced that what they're doing is to defend the FBI and save America from "that menace." He actually believes the Russian allegations and that Trump must be destroyed. He waffles about whether he should pursue promotion or stay as lead agent on a case that result in "an investigation leading to an impeachment."
He was wildly politicized by the New York Times. The evidence is there. I predict further evidence will only confirm this. He was politicized and led a palace coup against the duly elected president based on accusations from his defeated opponent. This happened because rampant deep state propaganda is not just annoying irrationality; it is lurking evil that will hurt us. If we can't rectify a propaganda outlet that motivates solid FBI agents (and an Army vet at that) to conspire to overthrow the presidency, then we'll just sit here twiddling our thumbs until the next calamity. Something must be done.
