The following article was commissioned in the spring of 2017. I submitted the following version on June 17, 2017. The editor who had commissioned it never ran it. Maybe he paid a “kill fee”; I can’t recall for sure.
[Postscript, July 30, 2021: That editor was Peter Brimelow. More and more, during the last few years I worked for Peter, he would greenlight proposals which he had no intention of publishing or paying for, just to waste my time.]
In the past, I’ve argued that the press is so bad, because of the racial socialism that dominates most newsrooms. But it’s worse than that. On the other side of the street, among the supposed good guys, you get the same sort of cronyism, and just plain pettiness of people who live to waste talented, hard-working people’s time. Never underestimate the role of pettiness in human affairs.
I also believe that class prejudice plays a huge role in this, regardless of editors’ official politics. Money helps money.
Left Reuses Scripts from TV, Movies, and Even the Stage to Sell Sedition and Chaos
By Nicholas Stix
As Plato recognized almost 2400 years ago in The Republic, poets (translation: scriptwriters) have a tremendous power to make mischief in the affairs of the city-state. His solution was to banish the poets.
But it goes beyond the poets themselves. There are many activist-Sophists who use the works of brilliant (and not-so-brilliant) fiction writers towards the same end.
I first noted this tactic 15 [17] years ago, when various powers decided that it would be convenient to pin the five murders and 13 near-fatal malicious woundings that an assassin had committed via anthrax-laced letters, following the 9/11 attacks, on an innocent, patriotic bioweapons scientist named Dr. Steven Jay Hatfill. The strategy grew of terrorizing Dr. Hatfill through the media, the DOJ (specifically AG John Ashcroft), and the FBI (Robert Mueller), and ensuring that he could not work anywhere, or even walk on the street unmolested.
The idea was apparently to push him to commit suicide, so that the Bureau—you know, the one James “Leaks” Comey recently praised before the Senate—could “clear” the cases.
What got the ball rolling was a tenured, Marxist activist at a performing arts school, SUNY College at Purchase.
Barbara Hatch Rosenberg was a professor of earth sciences (aka “Rocks for Jocks”), who spent all her time faxing various fictional scenarios to her media allies in America and Europe. Her stoutest ally in America was Scott Shane, then of the Baltimore Sun. (Rosenberg’s allies misrepresented her as a “SUNY microbiologist.”) After the anti-Hatfill campaign, Shane was rewarded with a New York Times reporting job.
Rosenberg told different fairy tales to different allies. Her most dramatic one was one in which the anthrax killer was a CIA contractor who had been assigned to spread the virus in a test. In some tellings, the killer was a “bioevangelist” who was somehow warning society through mass murder. (She told of having mused among comrades that a mass murder via biological or chemical weapons was necessary to impress upon the public how dangerous the toxins were—destroy the public, in order to save it.)
I eventually realized that Rosenberg had gotten the idea from a two-episode story arc of the brilliant but little-watched, cancelled TV series, Millennium.
Rosenberg’s gambit was to get America’s bioweapon defense program shut down, by convincing the public that there was an enemy within. She focused on Dr. Hatfill as (not the first) fall guy who would make her infernal dreams come true.
I dubbed Rosenberg the Dr. Strangelove of the American Left.
Once Rosenberg’s media allies got her message out to tens of millions, the Bush Administration told her, in so many words, “Thanks, but we’ll take it from here,” and it then joined with the media in their own campaign to destroy Dr. Hatfill. Things got so bad that the FBI would follow their target in a caravan of slow-moving, tailgating SUVs. One time, they went so far as to run over the man’s foot, when he got out of his vehicle! But that wasn’t the ultimate insult. That came when Hatfill complained to a policeman, who promptly issued HIM a ticket!
However, this fairy tale had a happy ending. Dr. Hatfill turned the tables on his federal tormentors, suing them and getting millions of dollars in civil settlements. (Bioweapons expert Dr. Bruce Ivins would eventually commit suicide, and be named the killer.)
That brings us to the present, mostly stealthy use of scripts to psychologically spread the idea that President Donald Trump’s associates are “Nazis” who must be destroyed, and that he is unfit for office and must be removed, be it via assassination, the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, impeachment and conviction, a military putsch, or at the polls in 2020.
Music Box
Did you know that Trump national security advisor Sebastian Gorka was a mass-murdering, Nazi policeman in Budapest, who has also murdered witnesses in America who could finger him for his crimes against humanity?
No? What’s that, Gorka was only born (in England) in 1970?
Well, then you haven’t seen the 1989 movie Music Box, which starred Jessica Lange as an American lawyer in the Cleveland area, and Armin Mueller-Stahl as her Hungarian-born, naturalized father.
The brilliant picture was written by Cleveland born-and-bred Joe Esterhazs, whose own father was a naturalized Hungarian who, unbeknownst to the son, had been a Nazi collaborator!
The movie, which was loosely inspired by the case of Nazi concentration camp guard John Demjanjuk, involved murders by and trials of the father, as the State Department at one point revoked his citizenship (for lying on his naturalization application) and sent him back to Hungary, to be tried for war crimes.
What does any of this have to do with Sebastian Gorka, who has always been—as even his worst tormentors admit—pro-Jewish and pro-Israel, on both sides of the Atlantic?
Following the inauguration, The Forward, a Marxist newspaper/Website that claims to be Jewish, undertook a single-minded campaign of at least 40 items against the staunch opponent of Islamic extremist terrorism. The Forward has sought not only to get the British-born Gorka fired, but also stripped of his American citizenship, and deported somewhere (England? Hungary? Auschwitz?), based on its entirely specious claim that he is some sort of Nazi who lied on his naturalization application.
Leftwing extremists in the Democrat Party, including left-of-Stalin New York City congressman Jerrold Nadler, cited The Forward, when they demanded that Gorka be pushed out of the White House, and demanded that Gorka’s naturalization papers (!) be handed over to the House Judiciary Committee. [Dem rep asks White House for Sebastian Gorka's immigration papers, by Max Greenwood, The Hill, 03/16/17 07:19 P.M. EDT.]
(Note that the gentile Gorka is much more pro-Jewish and pro-Israel than The Forward or Jerry Nadler is. One wonders how long a man will resist becoming an anti-Semite, after being crucified by Jews.)
Once the anti-Gorka campaign got started, Trump’s enemies even asserted that the brilliant Gorka was a piker intellectually.
The Forward’s smear campaign succeeded in persuading President Trump on April 30 to virtually fire Gorka (a Trump loyalist on Islamic extremist terrorism), removing him from White House meetings on national security and, indeed, banishing him from the White House altogether. Meanwhile, then new National Security Advisor Gen. H.R. McMaster, who is hostile to the President’s national security policy, consolidated his control of White House national security apparatus. (How the President let himself be talked into hiring an enemy as National Security Advisor is a mystery.)
That the President’s enemies all applauded the selection of McMaster tells you all you need to know about the latter.
The Caine Mutiny
Approximately one year ago [spring, 2016], Democrats began promoting the talking point that Donald Trump, who was then campaigning for the GOP presidential nomination, was insane.
In the months to come, they kept that thought in their head, along with other thoughts that they constantly expressed—he was a liar, a racist, a xenophobe, a homophobe, etc. However, they assumed that career felon Hillary Clinton would win the election in a landslide. Heck, even I assumed that Mrs. Clinton would win. Although I wished Trump all the best, his mission just seemed impossible. Even his own adopted party was trying to destroy him!
On or about the night of November 8, DPUSA strategists (including the Party media), wiped the tears from their eyes, and began putting together their strategy to remove the president-elect as soon as possible, via a conspiracy of sedition.
They came up with five options, in order of preference:
1. Removal by assassination;
2. Removal, via the 25th Amendment, as “unfit for office”;
3. Removal by the Senate, following impeachment in the House;
4. Removal, via a military putsch; or
5. Defeat at the polls, in 2020.
Although leftists had been asserting that Trump was insane a year ago [2016], DPUSA activist Rosa Brooks, who has a sinecure at Georgetown Law School was, to my knowledge, the first leftist to broach the possibility of using the 25th Amendment (as well as a military putsch) to remove President Trump from office.
I am convinced that Brooks’ inspiration was the movie The Caine Mutiny, which was based on Herman Wouk’s eponymous novel and play.
In the picture, the crew of the U.S.S. Caine gets a new skipper, Captain Queeg (Humphrey Bogart).
It soon becomes clear to all hands that Capt. Queeg’s best days are behind him. He is a martinet obsessed with minutiae but incompetent and cowardly, where the big picture is concerned. And he’s paranoid, to boot.
A backstabbing officer (Fred MacMurray)—a novelist (!)—puts the notion in a senior and a junior officer’s respective heads that Captain Queeg is unfit for command, and must be removed via Article 184 (the 25th Amendment!), a step that has never before been taken.
And they do just that, when the old man seems lost during a storm. But the novelist does not take part in the mutiny.
Queeg has the mutineers court-martialed. They get acquitted at trial when their skilled defense attorney gets Queeg to show his paranoia in the witness box. But Wouk, through said defense attorney, condemns the mutineers, especially the novelist, while offering succor to Queeg and burnt-out, old Naval officers like him.
Julius Caesar
The media have incited violence, clearly with the hope of bringing about the assassination of Donald Trump, for over one year. However it was only recently that members of the media became explicit.
Kathy Griffin made her notorious video of a beheaded President Trump, and the Public Theater, which was founded by the late communist Joseph Papp, staged a production of Julius Caesar, in which the actor playing Caesar was unmistakably made to look like the President, and was stabbed to death by a gang of black performers.
All the President’s Men
All the President’s Men has traditionally been considered a work of true reporting, but it is actually a work of fiction.
In the book and the 1976 movie, a heroic whistleblower dubbed “Deep Throat” by the heroes and co-authors, Washington Post operatives Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward, would meet in quiet parking garages with Woodward in the wee hours, to give him the goods on the criminal President Nixon, and thereby save democracy!
I was one of millions of people who read the book and/or saw the picture (I did both). Far from being a hero, “Deep Throat” was a felon named W. Mark Felt who seditiously brought down a president. Felt was the number two man at the FBI, and was enraged by Nixon’s decision not to appoint him FBI director.
An FBI honcho who leaks like a sieve, in order to seditiously bring down a sitting, Republican president. Hmm. Sounds familiar.
Rather than being heroic, muckraking reporters, Bernstein and Woodward were criminals. They were part of a seditious cabal within the offices of the Washington Post, and committed the felony of hunting down and interviewing grand jury witnesses, and publishing the interviews.
The seditionists are under a form of self-hypnosis, convinced that whatever script they turn into material for their putsch will then become true. Patriots must introduce them to reality.
