WHEN TRUTH NO LONGER MATTERS

The tipping point for me came during a recent NFL football game. Several St. Louis Rams receivers came out of the tunnel holding their arms over their heads in a show of solidarity with the fat thug Michael Brown, who was killed by a white police officer last August. It was initially proclaimed by Brown’s homey buddy that poor Michael had his hands up just prior to being executed by the KKK Clan master cop and pleaded with him by begging, “Don’t shoot.”

“Hands up, don’t shoot” instantly became the rallying cry of rioters and protestors who went bonkers after a grand jury decided an indictment of the officer would not be forthcoming. The hiccup in the rioters get along however, resided in the fact that witness testimony and forensic evidence put to route any notion that any of that ever happened. The evidence produced a clear picture of what happened, one based on fact. Brown was killed as a result of his assault on a police officer. That picture just wouldn’t do for the left however. They had different plans.

The New York Times, who were feverishly campaigning for the white officer’s indictment would have benefitted greatly from at least a smidgen of empirical data to support their preferred narrative of a young black man gunned down needlessly by racist cops.

But as the fictional unsupported account eroded in credibility it non-the-less gained momentum among the criminal element who destroy and steal stuff and liberals, who love to forward sensational assertions to further their agenda, particularly on issues of race and sex, even when they are untrue.

Liberals will propagate a myth to generate outrage and activism and to create disparate grievances. These myths generally have about the same relationship to truth, accuracy and legitimacy as a Nancy Pelosi press conference. In Washington DC today there are thousands who make a solid living developing and implementing public relations campaigns whose sole purpose is to get you to do what they want.

A good example is the 2006 Duke Lacrosse case. Liberals rushed to judgment when they realized the “victim” was a black female and the suspected perpetrators where white males. The whole episode turned out to be a total fabrication, but the fallout from the liberal lynching’s that occurred destroyed lives.

Who can forget the black professor from Columbia who specialized in teaching racial “micro-aggressions.” She was under investigation for professional malfeasance when all of a sudden she discovered a noose hanging from her office door. She was eventually fired and it turned out she put the noose on he door herself. Racist graffiti discovered on the Oberlin campus last year served its purpose by causing an anti-racism campaign. Shortly after, the graffiti was revealed to be a left-wing “joke.

The black bag of racist puss named Al Sharpton used the Tawana Brawley rape hoax to gin up illegitimate racial animus in 1987, causing several deaths as a result of the ensuing violence he promoted. He now serves as Obama’s race relation Czar.

A militant leftist female reporter recently set a new standard of journalistic depravity when Rolling Stone magazine printed her earth shattering article of a gang rape incident at a University of Virginia fraternity house. The article caused the university to suspend Greek life on campus for the remainder of the 2014 year. Soon after the article appeared, several portions of the story began to fall apart. It was discovered this female reporter did not fact check one iota of information from her so called source. The story felt so good on a liberal level that facts became irrelevant for her. It now appears the incident in question never happened at all and Rolling Stone Magazine will probably and rightfully be sued out of existence in short order.

I could provide a whole volume on stories just like these. But does any of this even matter? Many liberals will tell you candidly that factuality is secondary to political import. The takeaway for liberals has nothing to do with facts or legitimately. It’s all about taking control of systems of power: particularly institutions historically resistant to the left such as police, fire and the military. If they can put forth a narrative, however fallacious, that discredits these institutions it provides the opportunity to alter them according to fashionable theories of equality and justice. In short, the details and facts of a controversial incident are completely unimportant as long as the “takeaway” is communicated and their moral posturing and empty gestures increase in intensity the further removed their narrative from the truth.

Case in point: Cornell University Professor Russell Rickford, a black man, earlier this month suggested during his lecture that whites should consider committing “race suicide.” It was captured on video and can be watched online. I wonder what the liberal takeaway would be if a white professor made the same statement about blacks?

The protestors walk with their hands up. The black democratic caucus members speak on the floor at the capital with their hands up. NFL football players take the field with their hands up. Liberal professors at elite universities start their classes by raising their hands up. These are compliant dolts who have endorsed the fictitious liberal narrative and passed along the “takeaway” in fine Jim Jones Cult fashion. When you hear Obama or Eric Holder speak, they will strongly hint to those listening that the takeaway from recent incidents must be that police change the way they do things. You must believe that. There will be no mention of personal responsibility among the black community, ever. It does little or nothing to further the narrative of the current culture in Washington or the shameful and destructive media machine.

The truth will always defeat liberal propaganda eventually. It appears to be happening more and more frequently and when it does liberalism is revealed, like so many of their stories, to be the hoax that it is.
