Wednesday's War Report

From the front lines of the Bo$ton Globe:

"Japan is one of the safest countries in the world, [but] that peaceful assumption was shattered Tuesday morning when a man wielding two long-blade knives stabbed 17 schoolgirls and two adults at a bus stop in a suburb southwest of Tokyo, according to police. One of the girls, an 11-year-old, and a 39-year-old man died in the assault, and the attacker fatally stabbed himself. By Tuesday night, police had not identified a motive. Officials at Caritas, the Roman Catholic school in Kawasaki that the children attended, said they had received no warning and did not know the attacker.

I'm not saying it did not happen; however, it stinks like another staged and scripted event.

While violent crimes, particularly mass killings, are rare in Japan, they tend to involve knives, rather than guns, when they do occur. Three years ago, a former employee of a center for people with disabilities in Sagamihara, also southwest of Tokyo, killed 19 people in the facility with a knife in the worst mass killing in Japan since World War II. In 2001, an apparently deranged man burst into an elementary school in Osaka and killed eight children with a kitchen knife. And in 2008, a 25-year-old man who had posted a series of warnings on an online bulletin board plowed a rental truck into a crowd of pedestrians in the Akihabara electronics district of Tokyo before stabbing passersby, killing a total of seven people.

The attack occurred on the last day of President Trump’s visit to Japan. He and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe were visiting a Japanese military ship and greeting US troops when news of the stabbings emerged....."

That was my World lead in print, and looks like it was intended to ruin the trip.

News analysis: Japan rolled out the red carpet, but Trump veered off into personal fixations

The hypocritically projecting Jew York Times quotes none other than William Kristol, the conservative columnist and prominent Trump opponent and PNAC founder who helped bring you the Iraq invasion, and who is now defending Joe Biden!

What is interesting is that the Jew York Times told me the president refused to back down from a Twitter post a day earlier in which he took aim at Joe Biden, while the Washington ComPost was telling me he apologized Monday as media coverage grew a few pages later.

C'mon, guys, get your stories straight! In case you didn't know it, consistency is crucial to keeping the lies going. Otherwise, you lose all credibility!

Time to send this garbage back:

Israel just held elections, but it might have a do-over

As if I gave a damn which blood-pouring-from-the fangs Zionist was in charge of that shit stain upon the Earth.

"Syria said an Israeli attack against a military post in the country’s south on Monday killed a soldier and injured another. Israel, in a rare statement acknowledging firing into Syria, said it was responding to antiaircraft fire from Syria against one of its combat planes. The back-to-back statements come amid heightened regional tension over Iran’s role in Syria and other parts of the Middle East. They also follow a number of reported Israeli strikes on Syria in the past 10 days, according to state-run media.

Right, Israel only responds to provocations and this is the first I've seen of the bombing campaign in print. WTF?

Israel does not usually comment on reports concerning its strikes in neighboring Syria, though it has recently acknowledged striking Iranian targets there. A statement from the Israeli army said that earlier Monday a Syrian antiaircraft system fired at one of its aircraft ‘‘as it was carrying out a routine flight in Israel. The projectile landed in Syrian territory. In response, we targeted the Syrian launcher that was responsible for firing it.’’

That means the Israelis -- once again -- violated Syrian airspace!

The Israeli military ‘‘sees any threat against its aircraft with great severity and takes measures to defend them.’’

Yeah, that trope regarding endless Jewish victimhood for no reason has been sooooooo plaaaaaaaayed, sorry. No one is buying that shit anymore.

Now we are told democracy at risk (by a banker of all people), which is also Wilson's trope to get us into WWI, and which has been used to push for all the wars ever since! Must make the world safe for "democracy!"

"Iran’s influential Revolutionary Guard said Tuesday it doesn’t fear a possible war with the United States and claimed that America hasn’t grown in power in recent years — the latest tough talk from Tehran amid escalating regional tensions and a crisis with Washington....."

Yeah, the Iranians appear unimpressed with Japan’s offer to mediate the crisis.

"President Trump on Monday denied that the United States is seeking regime change in Iran, dialing back hawkish rhetoric days after ordering 1,500 additional US troops to the region. Actions by the Trump administration had heightened questions about whether the president was seeking a military confrontation with Iran. ‘‘We’re not looking for regime change. I want to make that clear,’’ Trump said at a joint news conference Monday with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. ‘‘We’re looking for no nuclear weapons.’’

Well, good, because Iran doesn't have any and isn't building any. 

You might want to check the Dimona plant in Israel, though.

A number of Democrats have expressed alarm about whether Trump’s actions would lead to war, and they also had questioned the administration’s interpretation of intelligence to argue that Iran was preparing for offensive action and therefore had to be countered. Trump’s meeting with Abe on Monday focused partly on the possibility that relations between the United States and Iran could improve. That could set the stage for US talks with Iran, Trump suggested, saying that ‘‘I do believe Iran would like to talk.’’

No, they don't, you damn huckster and self-deluded fool!

"France said it would do all it can to spare the group from execution in Iraq. Although it has made no effort to bring back the captured fighters, France is outspoken against the death penalty globally. The sentencings in Iraq come amid controversy about the legal treatment of thousands of foreign fighters who had joined the Islamic State at the height of its power in Syria and Iraq when the militant group declared its self-styled caliphate. Human rights groups are concerned they are being rushed through Iraqi counterterrorism courts in trials that raise questions over whether justice is being done. Convictions are often based on confessions that defendants and rights groups say are extracted by intimidation, torture, and abuse and without due processAlthough European Islamic State members have been sentenced to death, none has actually been executed in Iraq....."

If you didn't think ISIS™ was a western intelligence asset, the French just confirmed it. Worried wether the head-loppers and organ-eaters are treated fairly!

What a conundrum, huh?

So nice to see France and Germany at war again! 

I'm sure the Jew York Times will provide the narrative, I mean, tell us what we need to know about the European elections.

Must be an omen, huh?

"Venezuela’s ambassador in Geneva mocked as ‘‘ridiculous’’ a US walkout Tuesday from his chairmanship of the United Nation’s main disarmament body, launching barbs at President Trump and laughing as he claimed a David-over-Goliath diplomatic victory over the United States. Jorge Valero was reacting to the walkout by Washington’s ambassador to the Conference on Disarmament, Robert Wood, which was the latest choreographed US move to try to pressure Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s government.

Oh, yeah, I'm sure he is running for exile after this!

So this is what it has come to, huh? 

The U.S. now a laughingstock in front of the whole world!

Valero spoke to reporters after taking the chair of the conference plenary, which prompted Wood to walk out and tell reporters that a ‘‘rogue state’’ had taken over the conference chairmanship. Venezuela’s turn in the presidency follows in the alphabetical order of members, and right after the United States’ leadership. Wood said the United States will boycott Venezuela’s four-week presidency.

I'm sure that will draw fire from some quarters, maybe even a court challenge!

The Globe left it to the Herald to cover the actual event, of course.

The US walkout and boycott appeared mostly to be political theatrics, however. It was far from clear whether the US move would have an impact on a body that has struggled and failed to come to a consensus on major issues in recent years. Wood also led a boycott of Syria’s presidency of the conference last year....."

Contrary to popular opinion, I want the U.S. to invade and occupy Venezuela so it can become another Vietnam after all the ‘‘good that came out of that’’ in case you don't remember.

Then hundreds will gather to honor those who served in the Wars for the Jews.

Speaking of dying veterans:

"The magazine is ‘‘so essential in the psyche of sports,’’ said Samir Husni, director of the Magazine Innovation Center at the University of Mississippi, even after the magazine lost some of its luster with ESPN’s entry to sports journalism decades ago. ‘‘I don’t think Sports Illustrated is going anywhere soon,’’ Husni said....."

The $elf-$erving pre$$ has literally become a cartoon caricature of itself:

"Exhibit highlights cartoonists’ focus on First Amendment" by Andrew Welsh-Huggins Associated Press, May 27, 2019

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The First Amendment right to free speech is no laughing matter, as illustrated by a new exhibit at the world’s largest cartoon library.

The political cartooning display runs the gamut from a 1774 etching by Paul Revere criticizing Britain’s use of tea as a political weapon to a 2018 cartoon lampooning the blocking of online conservative commentary.

Did you see the one about Hamilton?

Other cartoons take on political correctness, flag desecration, fake news, campus conduct codes, and the role of Twitter in public discourse.

The exhibit combines drawings contributed by several dozen cartoonists with material from the library’s own collection. Many are from newspapers, but offerings include cartoons from The New Yorker magazine and even ones that first appeared online, on websites such as Politico.

In a 1971 cartoon by Karl Hubenthal in the now defunct-Los Angeles Examiner, a smug Supreme Court justice examines the decision upholding the printing of the Pentagon Papers. Far below, a woman tugs at his robe and questions ‘‘the moral question’’ of printing stolen government documents.

The headline: ‘‘Totally ignored.’’

Yeah, don't tell us the government secrets. The population might actually learn the truth about the lying, looting war criminals running things. Don't want that!

The inclusion of a cartoon from a long-gone paper underscores one of the biggest challenges for cartoonists: the decline of print newspapers and the elimination of many full-time cartooning jobs.

Oh, BOO-HOO-HOO

Maybe if they weren't so shallow and superficial and full of lies, things might have turned out better! 

They have no one to blame but them$elves!

Twenty years ago, the country had about 150 full-time editorial cartoonists, according to Telnaes. Today it’s down to about 40.

Just last week, longtime Columbus Dispatch editorial cartoonist Nate Beeler lost his job amid a series of nationwide layoffs by GateHouse Media. Beeler has a cartoon in the Ohio State exhibit that satirizes campus free speech ‘‘safe spaces.’’

Concluding a series of Friday tweets about his layoff, Beeler said, ‘‘Lastly, my heart goes out to the other cartoonists and journalists across the nation caught up in these layoffs. It’s a devastating trend in the news business.’’

Well, you $cum have brought it on yourselves, and this $elf-centered $lop isn't helping the cause!

While the digital age has created new opportunities, it’s still tough for cartoonists to make a living, said Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Ann Telnaes.

Meanwhile, social media has been both a blessing and a curse.

‘‘Social media is both positive in that readers are more engaged and appreciative of cartoons but also enables special interest groups to target cartoonists and their publications when a cartoon challenges their beliefs and agenda,’’ she said.

And we see how the jew$papers react when their agenda and beliefs are challenged!

In 1988, the US Supreme Court upheld political cartoons as protected speech in a case involving a Hustler Magazine parody ad that lampooned the Rev. Jerry Falwell, founder of the Moral Majority, an ad that’s on display at the Ohio State exhibit......

Maybe while you are over there you can check out this exhibit.

More worried about them than Assange, and that tells you all you need to know about the American pre$$ and its journali$ts.
