If a republican writer with a history of lying says something I agree with, should I cite her as an authority?

By N.S.

For years, An Old Friend would send me links to work by Heather Mac Donald. He stopped when he saw that I wasn’t posting them, but I have changed my mind. I am going to post links to her work, but with the caveat, that the writer in question has become influential through years of lying on behalf of the nypd.

I have no idea whether Mac Donald has been telling the truth about higher ed over the past several years, but I have no reason to trust her, and every reason to distrust her.

Mac Donald became famous through writing a long series of articles which lauded the nypd, beginning under commissioner William Bratton, as having achieved miraculous reductions in crime. Now, I believe, or at least I hope that the nypd did dramatically reduce murders in nyc through the stop-question-frisk tactic, which got thousands of guns off the street, although I also know that judges and prosecutors alike sabotaged Bratton’s “broken windows” policing, from the get-go.

Already in 1995, a series of scandals were exposed, in which the nypd was caught lying about crime stats. I wrote the first national exposé of said scandals in 1996, for Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture. Mac Donald ignored the scandals. However, An Old Friend did find one piece of hers years ago, in which she admitted to some methods cops engage in, in order to fudge crime stats.

jihad in albuquerque: cops say they’ve nabbed the “primary suspect” in the murders of four moslems

syed—the a-rab—arrested for murders of four other a-rabs in albuquerque, n.m.

GRA: Ray Stevens would have to change the name of his song.

(usatoday)

police in albuquerque said they arrested the “primary suspect” in the killings of four muslim men in new mexico’s largest city — deaths have raised fears in the community and led to increased security at mosques and schools.

Muhammad Syed, 51, of afghanistan, was charged in two of the killings and was called a suspect by police in the two other slayings.

chief Harold Medina said tuesday the arrest happened after authorities tracked down a vehicle linked to one of the killings.

albuquerque authorities bolstered security measures as worries mounted within the muslim community over the ambush-style killings, the most recent happening friday. authorities sought help monday, searching for a vehicle that appeared to be the one discovered tuesday. police said in a news release they suspected the vehicle was used in the homicides – a dark gray or silver four-door volkswagen, possibly a jetta or passat, with tinted windows.

The common elements in the deaths were the victims’ race and religion, officials said, and authorities discovered a possible link between the killings. Authorities released photos, hoping people could help identify the car, and offered a $20,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.

Mohammad Ahmadi, 62, from afghanistan, was the first victim, killed nov. 7. Aftab Hussein, 41, and Muhammad Afzaal Hussain, 27, were killed july 26 and aug. 1, and Naeem Hussain, 25, was shot to death friday, according to investigators. the last three victims were from pakistan.

I wouldn’t waste my time on this book and the review is the same reason I post reviews of shows like “ni**er password” (tonight on the Negro Broadcast Company)–to help people avoid watching that black version of a great game show.

Keke Palmer is a typical nig hostess, and based on previews, there are many instances where the players get out of their seats and do dances after getting a correct answer (nig behavior).

I’ve read other people’s reviews and they are in agreement with me on this horrible revival of a classic game show.

McCall is a good writer and displays flashes of self awareness throughout the book. He also annoys the hell out of me on a regular basis. The self-awareness never quite extends far enough for him to realize that by the time he's 20, the world has much more of a right to be angry at him than vice versa.

Before he goes to prison, he's a prolific criminal. Let's start with "training" (gang rape). McCall recounts the first time he and his friends raped a 13-year-old virgin and claims that there was a voice in his head telling him to take her by the hand, lead her out of the house, walk her home, and say, “Try, as best you can, to forget this ever happened.” Is that really what his teenage self thought, or is this 30-something him engaging in revisionism? He took his turn raping her while she laid there covering her eyes. He says it made him feel ashamed and unclean (but not enough to stop participating in gang rapes in the future). But he and his hanging partners didn’t think of it as rape, see?

When he was 18, he got a girl pregnant (one of many) and decided that the solution was gang rape. Not kidding. He thought it would cast doubt on the paternity if several of his friends raped the young woman carrying his child. She caught on and got so scared that she jumped out of the car and severely injured herself (lost consciousness and was frothing at the mouth). Not only did he never take her to a hospital, he and his friend planned to murder her. The presence of a witness was the only thing that stopped them, which is the second time that dumb luck prevented him from murdering someone.

He complains about being followed in stores, but also describes how he and his friends would have someone distract store clerks while the rest of them stuffed their pockets with merchandise. Later, he ran such a successful scam on his girlfriend’s workplace that it went out of business.

He supposedly fired his sawed-off shotgun though a random white family’s picture window as they watched TV, after hooking up with the Black Panthers (whom he never mentions again) to retaliate for the death of a black man McCall freely admits might not have even been killed by the police (and even if he was, it was during a shootout between two gangs). He says he felt proud of having engaged in “guerilla warfare,” though this could more accurately be called terrorism. Conveniently, there is apparently no record of these coordinated attacks by black radicals on suburban homes. (It’s just a little too metaphorically perfect: Angry black radical literally shatters the very picture of white suburban tranquility.)

He commits a series of burglaries, some of which could have been home invasions because he’s not always sure if anyone is home. He stops being a burglar because he gets scared that someone may catch him and shoot him, not because he realizes that it’s disgusting and wrong to violate someone’s home and then watch his friend pull out his “meat” and piss all over everything.

He jumps over the counter to attack a fast food employee, which is the ultimate ghetto merit badge. How angry do you have a right to be about being stereotyped when, in your particular case, the stereotype fits to a T?

I don’t want to discount the psychological effects of racism and the rage and despair that it can engender. I can see where coming up the seventies, just a few years after the Civil Rights Movement took off, would lead a young black man to adopt some radical beliefs and not feel himself bound by much of a social contract.

[N.S.: The foregoing was the one really bad paragraph in this otherwise brilliant book review. Nathan McCall never suffered from racism; he was the racism that too many Whites suffered under.]

That said, he also had many advantages that he sometimes glosses over. He had a stable home with a loving mother, stepfather, and grandmother. They had a single family home in a decent neighborhood. (It wasn’t clear to me if Cavalier Manor was low-cost or free housing, but it was provided by a white philanthropist, though McCall wonders if this too was actually motivated by racism.) They don’t sound rich, but his stepfather has nice cars, and it never sounds like they’re hurting for food or other living expenses, even with five children. McCall does not have the excuse that he grew up in the projects and couldn’t avoid “the life.” He seeks out, initiates, and escalates criminal situations over and over again.

His family even has enough money (and generosity) to hire a good lawyer after Nathan shoots someone and escapes a murder charge (or even attempted murder) through dumb luck. The prevailing narrative is that the justice system comes down hard on black people, but he gets off with probation. McCall finds a way to say this was racist as well, due to them “not valuing black life.” Isn’t it slightly ironic [read: hypocritical] for him to denounce the justice system for not sufficiently valuing the life of the man *he* shot in the chest?

After this first serious brush with the law, does he buckle down and get his act together? No, he continues committing armed robberies and isn’t even that careful about it. He gets caught and is aggressively prosecuted this time, which he of course denounces as racist and due to his having robbed “a white business.” (Couldn’t be because he was already on probation for shooting someone.)

He goes to prison, reads a lot of books, does some soul-searching, and manages to get paroled the first time around. He’s absolutely livid that he has trouble finding a job due to the fact that not everyone considers his slate “squeaky clean” right after he gets out of prison. It’s not clear if they know about the shooting as well, but is it automatically racist for someone to hesitate to hire you in their store when they find out that you robbed...a store? He claims black business owners understand that “it’s not uncommon for a young brother to have a rap sheet, like being circumcised.” I thought that was an odd choice of comparison. Your foreskin has nothing to do with whether you’re more likely to rob or otherwise harm me. Later in the book, McCall denounces a white journalist for saying exactly the same thing: that black applicants may be more likely to have criminal records, hampering efforts to hire more of them.

[N.S.: In black sociology professor W.J. Wilson’s When Work Disappears: The World of the New Urban Poor (1996), it was the White Chicago businessmen who made pc excuses for so many unemployable, young black men, while the black businessmen talked straight.]

So, finally, he finishes college and starts a career as a reporter well before the age of thirty, which is kind of amazing, given the circumstances. Imagine if he hadn’t gotten arrested at all, if he’d just walked away from Plaz, if he’d avoided committing robberies and done without the nice clothes in his teen years. He could’ve started his career at the age of 22. The system, the “white mainstream,” actually held quite a few opportunities for him. Does he acknowledge this? Not really. He complains about white guys saying things like, “You must spend a lot of money on clothes,” (which he denounces as racist jealousy) or the fact that his boss was sometimes impatient with him. Ironically, it was his superficial focus on being cool and having nice clothes that was largely responsible for his “need” to commit robberies and burglaries and scams.

He seems to harbor a special hatred for other black people who don’t live up to his idea of blackness, which is synonymous with being “street” (how they walk and talk, what they read, and especially what kind of pants and shoes they wear). This “acting black” and “acting white” nonsense is among the most poisonous ideas around. One of the saddest scenes in the book is his high school graduation when he sees what the “no name lames” got in return ($50,000 scholarships, etc.) for focusing on school instead of Superfly and Scobie D. Yet, at age 30, he’s still passing judgment on other blacks for not being hood enough because their parents went to college, or because they didn’t go to a historically black college.

He complains vehemently about the responsibilities of fatherhood, which he actually avoids in several instances. He ignored several girls who told him they were pregnant. He feels nothing for his son Monroe and only agrees to a child with another women after being manipulated by an anti-abortion activist.

Anyway, I’m always up for hearing different perspectives, but I often noticed that everything that went wrong in his life was blamed on racism, whereas everything that went right was due to his own hard work (with occasional shoutouts to his parents and grandmother) rather than other people who helped and encouraged him and gave him opportunities despite his mistakes.

“The company that made this breakthrough ten years ago is dead and gone because the u.s. department of energy (doe) inexplicably gave its tech to china while preventing American companies from manufacturing it.”

This is planned. They want manufacturing in china, and they want to destroy small businesses and the middle-class in the u.s. (There is nothing our Democratic leaders, with a healthy assist from Republicans, are doing that would make me think otherwise.)

Another White Bites the Dust: Olivia Newton-John Dies at 73, after a Long Struggle with Breast Cancer

By Grand Rapids Anonymous
Monday, August 8, 2022 at 7:37:00 P.M. EDT

(GRA) What can you say about Olivia Newton-John that hasn't been said for the last 51 years?

Yes, 51 years since her first (and my favorite) hit song, “If Not for You,” appeared on the radio—a Bob Dylan-penned song from his 1970 album. There are videos of her, which you can see on youtube—from back in 1971—on various shows, singing and doing a kind of quirky Elaine Benes-style dance—pretty adorable, actually.

She followed that song with what seemed like a hundred other ones, which made the charts: “Hopelessly Devoted to You,” “Let Me be There,” “Summer Nights,” “You’re the One That I Want”—which filled the ‘70s airwaves.

I listened to the radio a lot back then, and she mixed in well with the Carpenters, Paul McCartney, America, Bread, the Eagles, B.J.Thomas and other middle-of-the-road artists of the day—all very melodic—sometimes, even memorable music being created by many White artists. I liked most of the music I heard on the radio in those days—usually on WMAQ out of Chicago—the station that carried the White Sox (my favorite team at the time.)

It’s the country I’ll remember fondly, as we veer farther and farther away from those snapshots in time—the late ‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘80s.

She was 73.

Which means tracking devices.

Which means Big Brother will follow you everywhere.

Everywhere.

Suckers!
