This time, it’s a New York Post Late City Final image that exposes the idiots.
This is the basis of the Biden administration’s and Rochelle “Sobbing Doomsayer” Walensky-managed CDC’s manufactured panic and raison d’être for their attempt to reassert their personal control over average Americans‘ lives.
Or Cowardice?
Recall The New York Times‘ reporter, Katie Benner, who tweeted out the following, regarding 10s of millions of Americans:
Her tweets read, in case the image proves unreadable,
Today’s #January6thSelectCommittee underscores the America’s current, essential natsec dilemma: Work to combat legitimate national security threats now entails calling a politician’s supporters enemies of the state. /1
As Americans, we believe that state power should not be used to work against a political figure or a political party. But what happens if a politician seems to threaten the state? If the politician continues to do so out of office and his entire party supports that threat? /2
This dilemma was unresolved by the Russia probe and 2 impeachments. With many Republicans denying the reality of the Jan. 6 attack, I doubt the #January6thCommittee will resolve it either. That leaves it up to voters, making even more essential free, fair access to the polls. /3
This time, I’m less interested in this…journalist’s…slur than I am in what she did about it. Amid the backsplash against her despicable smear of all of us average Americans so impudent as to disagree with her august self, Benner deleted those tweets. She claimed her tweets were unclearly worded.
Hogwash. If Benner truly were concerned about clarity, she would have left her tweets up, cited them in a quoting tweet or series of tweets, said they were “unclearly worded,” and then said in clear, concrete terms what she truly meant.
Benner chose not to. Instead, she chose to attempt to white wash her history—which is part of all our social history, part of the information database that all of us must use, for good or ill—to try to pretend her history didn’t actually exist.
Dishonesty or cowardice? You make the call. For me, it’s a tough call since there’s so much overlap: much of dishonesty is a form of cowardice.
Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman, meeting with the People’s Republic of China’s Foreign Minister Wang and Vice Foreign Minister Xie Fang, got what the PRC thinks are marching orders for the United States.
Among the concerns Sherman raised were
…the crimes against humanity in Xinjiang, the anti-democratic crackdown in Hong Kong, provocative military actions in the Taiwan Strait.
That produced the “marching order” of particular interest here. Deputy Director of the Foreign Ministry Information Department of the People’s Republic of China, Zhao Lijian:
[The United States] must not infringe on China’s national sovereignty, let alone undermining China’s territorial integrity[.]
Hence the arrogance. Or outright dishonesty. The Republic of China, and the associated Taiwan Strait, have nothing to do with the PRC’s territorial integrity or national sovereignty. The PRC’s genocide in Xinjiang has nothing to do with the PRC’s territorial integrity or national sovereignty. The assault on Hong Kong’s semi-autonomy, the PRC’s cynical welching on its agreement regarding Hong Kong’s then-future and the city’s present and current future, have nothing to do with the PRC’s territorial integrity or national sovereignty.
And I add, since Sherman (or her boss or her boss’ boss) seems to have been too timid to raise the matters, occupied Tibet has nothing to do with the PRC’s territorial integrity or national sovereignty. The South and East China Seas, along with the islands in them, have nothing to do with the PRC’s territorial integrity or national sovereignty. The PRC’s border violations against Bhutan and India have nothing to do with the PRC’s territorial integrity or national sovereignty.
