Radio Derb: Empire of Lies, Blacks and Math, and De-Platforming John Wayne, Etc.

02 — Empire of lies.

The Jussie Smollett story has finally attained the point of total Narrative Collapse. Wednesday night the Chicago cops charged Mr Smollett with filing a false police report. That’s a felony that could carry jail time. Jussie Smollett is out free on ten thousand dollars cash bail.

What. A. Surprise. Among the many, many things illustrated by the Jussie Smollett case is this one: If you want a clear picture of what’s happening in our society you should ignore the mainstream news outlets and go to Dissident Right websites — if you can find one that hasn't been de-platformed, de-funded, de-Twittered, de-YouTubed, de-PayPaled, de-Facebooked, and so on.

While mainstream journalists on six- and seven-digit salaries were gasping, swooning, and clutching their pearls, giving unqualified credence to Smollett's story, we deplorable bigots out here on the un-respectable right were calling hoax.

Our own Nicholas Stix — who, by the way, should you get the chance to meet him in one of our clandestine gatherings down in the catacombs, is a first-class journalist who would have been a household name back in the days when mainstream journalism meant something more than just parroting the CultMarx narrative — Nicholas Stix called hoax on January 29th, the very day it was first reported.

Steve Sailer expressed a guarded skepticism the following day, quote from Steve: “This one is so absurd-sounding… that I’m wondering if it might not be true.” End quote. As Steve went on to point out, Smollett’s tale didn’t sound at all absurd to bigfoot media commentators and Democratic Presidential candidates. They swallowed it whole.

In my chosen lifetime mission as Sailer’s Bulldog I took a similar line in the February 1st Radio Derb, quote from me: “I’ll allow… that it might have happened, probability in the range two to five percent.” End quote.

Steve and I were too cautious and Nicholas Stix’s journalistic instincts were correct: This was an obvious hoax from the start. Cautious as Steve and I were, though, with our credence down at that two-to-five-percent level, we at least weren’t all-in gullible, like the fools who populate our big media outlets and political campaigns. For them it’s Narrative, Narrative, Narrative. Facts, probabilities, and precedents count for nothing.

This is our society: an empire of lies.
