Remember when DHS put out a bulletin, back in 2009, warning people that far-right extremists were recruiting within the ranks of the military and that it would have serious potential impacts? Here is how right-wing media responded.

Here's some more right-wing media hysteria over the prescient DHS bulletin of 2009 ...

crooksandliars.com/david-neiwert/…
Mind you, it didn't take long for the accuracy of the memo to be driven home.

crooksandliars.com/david-neiwert/…
And it just kept being proven so.

crooksandliars.com/david-neiwert/…
Today it's a matter of data-based fact that the 2009 DHS bulletin was accurate in its warnings.

Thank you, as always, @KevinMKruse. An appended thread, if you don't mind.

First, @DineshDSouza, let's make clear the eugenics behind the 1924 Immigration Act.

dneiwert.blogspot.com/2003/02/roots-…
2) The public focus on the 1924 Immigration Act revolved around its anti-Asian measures, the portion of the law known as the Asian Exclusion Act. It forbade all further immigration from Japan, China, and every other Asian nation.
3) It was the culmination of a long anti-Japanese campaign fomented in large part on the Pacific Coast. And in particular, it was fomented by a man named Miller Freeman. Freeman was a publisher and land developer, and was the father of modern-day Bellevue, WA.

You keep holding up black unemployment's historically low levels as though black people should just be eternally grateful for the work you've given them. But there's a catch to those numbers -- including the reality that hate crimes are through the roof. Thread follows. 1)
2) First of all, while black unemployment is indeed at a record low, it's _still_ more than double the rate of white unemployment.

@fred_guttenberg There's one major reason: Far-right culture (especially neo-Nazis, who often have fetishes for collecting genuine WWII German memorabilia) often revolves around gun shows. As someone who covers the radical right, I have been attending gun shows for years for this reason.
@fred_guttenberg Neo-Nazi/white nationalist/nativist ideologies are also well known for their embrace of violence as essential to their ethos, an extension of their innate authoritarianism. Gun shows are a sublimated version of this violence.
@fred_guttenberg Recall that Timothy McVeigh more or less made his living for awhile traveling the country attending gun shows. He handed out copies of 'The Turner Diaries' to people who bought guns from him out of the back of his truck at gun shows.

They are doing it again.

If you don’t understand the Paris & Brussels “protests” are manufactured & manipulated using the same methods & nudges of radicalization as in US, Brexit, Kenya & other countries then you have been sleeping.

Wakie. Wakie.

2/ Cambridge Analytica/SCL did this literally all over the globe.

Nix: "We just ghosted in."

And then manipulated the shit out of people using the same tactics we learned in fighting counter-terrorism and radicalization.

[NOTE: These pics are taken from actual SCL documents]
3/ Ex:KENYA but it's everywhere.

Exploiting tribal fractures.

"Those elements included social media videos that played to the fears of the electorate, warning that a victory by opposition leader Raila Odinga would lead to disease, famine and terrorism."

So, I've waded through the Evangelical Alliance's new pastoral "guidelines" for interacting with trans people (ughh, the things I do to expose #transphobic #ciswits to the world), and let's just say it's time to tear this particular sh*t-bag a new hole.

So, straight off the bat, first page of text, the use of #language is . . . well, yeah, see for yourself:

"It is important to remember that transgender is not simply an issue to be debated;" - p5, #Transformed

*sigh*

When such language gets reinforced by insisting...

Far-right violence in the past 3 wks:

-Proud boys mob attack in NYC
-White supremacist kills black couple in Kroger
-Trump fan mails pipe bombs to Trump foes & media
-Deadliest anti-Semitic attack in US history
-Far-right incel kills 2 women, injures 5 at Tallahassee yoga studio
Trump's response?

-Floating the same conspiracy theory that motivated the synagogue shooter
-"Enemy of the people"
-Ending countering violent extremism programs
-Diverting resources away from domestic terrorism to focus on the "caravan" of asylum seekers
As far-right extremism spikes, the Trump administration is poised to end DHS's Countering Violent Extremism grants program & has already crippled the interagency task force on Countering Violent Extremism.

But he's sending troops to deal w/ asylum seekers

"Far-right media does not create unstable individuals, but it has proven remarkably successful at radicalizing them and providing them with targets." MAGAbomber & synagogue shooter's similar extremist media diet, w/ anti-Semitism at its core. v @Bellingcat bellingcat.com/news/americas/…
Radicalization is the conversation we must have. Trump sends troops for fake immigrant invasions while his information war has created the real threat. He & GOP propaganda media are radicalizing far-right extremists—terrorists to terrorize & kill Americans. Also BTW Putin's goal.
You'd think after Americans were killed by terrorists radicalized by lies about migrants, Republican @MarshaBlackburn would take down this ad claiming the caravan has “gang members, known criminals, people from the Middle East, POSSIBLY EVEN TERRORISTS"

Almost all of the Road Runner cartoons are available via the @BoomerangToons app.

I subscribed for $5 & decided I'm gonna watch & tweet about 'em all in chronological order, even the later, terrible ones, for which I have an irrational affection.

Here we go.

Boomerang lists them alphabetically not chronologically so Chuck Jones masterpieces sit side-by-side with 1960s atrocities (& later 'revival' attempts.)

I am going to start at the beginning. I will also be including Wile E. Coyote/Bugs Bunny & Ralph Wolf/Sam Sheepdog shorts, FYI
September 17, 1949: "Fast And Furry-ous"

Chuck Jones intended this short to be a parody of cat & mouse "chase" cartoons. Instead, he accidentally created the definitive chase cartoon series of all time.
