1/3 Another take on how journalists failed. nytimes.com/2019/01/22/opi…. Nice to see, and all true, but IMHO this misses the real problem, which I have yet to see a single one of these journalistic mea culpas address:
2/3 The problem is not that journalists should have been more deliberate in taking time to get the full story. It's that journalists thought "Breaking News! High school kid being an obnoxious jerk! More at 11!" was newsworthy in the first place.
3/3 I'm not saying he was indeed being an obnoxious jerk (I personally don't believe he was). But *even if* you believe he indeed was a jerk, a high schooler doing what millions of high schoolers do is SOOO not deserving of the national news spotlight.

1/7 quillette.com/2019/02/07/fac… An in-depth exploration of just how deeply Facebook has gotten taken over by SJWs. Shows pretty much the same kind of culture that the Damore lawsuit has revealed about Google's corporate culture. Not really surprised, but here are some excerpts:
2/7 "…while Mark supported political diversity, the constant badgering of Facebook’s leadership by indignant and often politically intolerant employees increasingly began to define the atmosphere."
3/7 "I quickly discovered that I couldn’t even talk about these issues without being called a “hatemonger” by colleagues."

1/3 According to this grievance mongerer, desiring authentic ethnic food is "white supremacy in action". ny.eater.com/2019/1/18/1818….
2/3 Yet, according to other grievance mongerers, it's also a sin to serve ethnic food that *isn't* properly authentic. Example: independent.co.uk/student/news/c…. Well, which is it?
3/3 Another example here: washingtonpost.com/news/morning-m…. Either way, you're guilty: If you seek authenticity, then you're engaging in white supremacy. But if you aren't sufficiently authentic, then you're culturally appropriating.
There is simply no winning with these people.

1/7 Follow-up to the thread I posted last week about how SJW attitudes have infiltrated the tech world: One of the most compelling demonstrations of SJW influences in tech is in the many examples listed in the legal complaint brought by James Damore against Google...
2/7 ...which can be viewed in full at dropbox.com/s/qumybkgxo5lb…. The appendix to that document is full of screenshots of memes, memos, emails, forum posts and other proofs of these attitudes. Here are 2 particularly illuminating examples of it. Example 1 from pgs 51-52 of the doc:
3/7 Google HR distributed a handout which instructed managers that “individual achievement”, “perfectionism”, and “winning” were examples of 'White/Male Dominant Culture'. It goes on to list examples of things that are “valued” by the dominant “white/male” culture of the US...

💣CoverUp💣

Manafort intentionally lied about:

📌His contacts w/ Kilimnik

📌A pymt that was routed thru a pro-Trump political action cmte to cover his legal bills

📌Info relevant to another inv’n underway at the DOJ

Conspired w/ hostile gov’ts #Subvert2016Elex #MH17 #Sept11?
💣CoverUp2💣

Manafort, then Trump’s campaign chairman, ducked into a private cigar room a few blocks away from the campaign’s TT HQ in Manhattan, Rick Gates joined him there.

Konstantin Kilimnik (GRU) flew to the US to take this dinner meeting with Manafort & Gates.
💣CoverUp3💣

The 8/2/16, meet btwn the senior Trump campaign officials & Kilimnik (GRU - RU Military Intel) as a potential fulcrum in OSC’s nv’n

That meeting is key.

Prosecutors believe Manafort & Kilimnik may have exchanged key info relevant to RU & Trump’s presidential bid.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.
