Merry Xmas all!
This is definitely the beginning of the end. There are going to be more battles to come, but the "high tide of political correctness" has been reached and is going to recede. There are too many who have taken notice of the toxic nature that this system of thought has on an open and free society.
I'm concerned about unrelated issues which get thrown out with the bathwater. In the article above, the demise of 'global warming' is also trumpeted. It would be great if we could just wash our hands of climate change like that -- but in reality, we may just be making the problem far worse by ignoring it.

You've been there? Or you are just believing what Assad and Putin tell you as total truth and reject what western sources say out of hand.
WTF? How do you get to that? Neither Assad or Putin has told me anything. The two journalists we have been discussing are Western journalists, as are several other who I have actually seen reporting from Aleppo who have contradicted the narrative given to us by such credible news outlets as CNN, BBC and the Guardian.

Now why is it you want to claim that these journalists are Russian Shills or that hint that they work for Russia Times, but neglect to mention the other news outlets that have picked up on their stories, invited op-eds or asked them to contribute? It's almost like you don't know how freelance journalism works.

Apparently the Red Crescent isn't to be trusted when they report Israeli atrocities but they can be trusted now?
Both MSF and RC are organizations prone to political leanings, if not from the top down, then local outfits or the individuals in them, the same for most NGOs. You can sometimes find them doing a complete 180 when it is politically expedient as some of them did during the beginning of the Iraq war. I don't understand why you would think they are suddenly impartial? Most of them still depend on government and corporate cash.

I tend not to get my news from NGOs unless they bring forth the evidence.

No, there's no conflict, I don't support politicians as if they are sports teams.

Well her BS "stories"were picked up by Putin owned propaganda outfit, Russia Today, and her "research" into the Syrian conflict was conducted as a guest of Assad closely guided by minders. Of course, free lance articles are normally vetted to see whether they fit with the message before they are bought, rather than the person is hired beforehand with the expectation they will tow the line.

Funding for MSF:
The vast majority of staff are volunteers. Private donors provide about 90% of the organization's funding, while corporate donations provide the rest, giving MSF an annual budget of approximately US$750 million.[2]
Funding for Russia Today? 100% FSB , the new and improved KGB.

Sabbatical literally originates from the sabbath. Peezy should've asked for a secular "let me sit on my ass so I can blog more and keep my flagging network afloat for one more stinkin' year" leave.

As I say, I have watched possibly hundreds of hours of video over the last few years, most of it posted by the actual rebels. I have seen what they are shooting and what they are using to shoot it. I have also seen the killing and executions. I have a seen a lot of evidence, much of which doesn't fit the narrative we have been given.

...then these journalists come along and give us a different story which makes much more sense, which is that there is little difference between the Free Syrian Army and ISIS and that what the Western Allies is actually doing is helping this different set of fanatics fight against Assad instead of defeating ISIS.

Do you really believe that these people who are able to skype with the BBC are actually in these battle zones, when there is no power and no signal? Amazing that they can film in their nicely painted kitchen but not show us what's going on outside. Do you really think the footage of Syrians celebrating when they are liberated by the Syrian army is faked? The evidence of fakery is all flowing in one direction.

I don't expect the Russians and Syrians to be anymore mindful of collateral damage than the Americans, which is to say they pay it lip service when it's convenient. But the whole "bombing hospitals" thing is the modern day equivalent of "bayoneting nuns". Always take it with a pinch of salt.

"If only we can bomb all the hospitals we would win the war" said no military commander ever.

Well getting your views from one side is never the answer though I fail to see where you and VC differ. Getting rid of despotic leaders in the Middle East has been shown to be a failing idea. So to try and get rid of Assad just for the Saudi pipeline (to the EU) is reckless. I hope the new isolationist West (including Isis) is a thing, fuck globalism and their corporate masters. The West from now on (fuck the past) should look at different countries as to whether they can be trading partners or not, end of.

Okay... what difference does it make who funds RT? What difference does it make if this story was picked up by a North Korean news agency? RT is just aggregating it. It was also picked up by Ron Paul's Liberty Report... are they funded by the KGB? This is a red herring, completely irrelevant.

When the US hit a wedding in Afghanistan, does that mean the US mistakenly hit a wedding, or does it mean that their new tactic is to target weddings?
And seeing as it isn't just French, British and American doctors that volunteer for MSF, but also Pakistanis, Kuwaitis, and Egyptians, who's personal politics might not quite fit your own, does it mean you should trust them to report on the war?

I know that most of the NGO staff in the West Bank and Gaza are sympathetic to the Palestinians, they don't get many Zionists volunteer there.

This conversation is pointless, you can play the bias game forever. Evidence is what counts.

The problem with this video (one of two such edits) is that it is attached to the claim that the hospital was targeted, and it supposes to know that Russia's strategy is to destroy all medical facilities for the 300,000 people in Aleppo.

The real problem with this claim is that we have photos of the hospital before and after and they are pretty much the same. In other words, the hospital wasn't hit, in fact the blast wasn't even very close. The hospital was in fact largely undamaged, is still standing ans still operating today. If this doctor was as claimed killed, that is unfortunate, there is very little evidence of the 27-50 patients and nurses killed either.

If Russia targeted this hospital, they didn't do a very good job did they? When a modern airforce targets a building, there tends to be lots of evidence in the form of a smoking pile of rubble, we can see just from this video that is not the case in this instance.

And sorry for being pedantic, but the Free Syrian Army and ISIS have artillery, I watched a video of ISIS capturing some russian made guns of approximately 105mm at the beginnings of this week. They also have large calibre mortars and MLRS. I can't tell from this video that this was an air strike or an artillery strike or which direction it came from.

This video is evidence of nothing.

A new level of SJW stupidity: Homonationalism
The term was originally proposed by the researcher in gender studies Jasbir K. Puar to refer to the processes by which some powers line up with the claims of the LGBTI community in order to justify racist and xenophobic positions, especially against Islam, basing them on prejudices that migrant people are necessarily homophobic and that western society is entirely egalitarian.[1][2][4][5][6][7][8][9] Thus, sexual diversity and LGBT rights are used to sustain political stances against immigration, being increasingly common among far-right parties.[10][11][12]
The creator of this term is a certain Jasbir Puar:
In "Queer Times, Queer Assemblages", published in 2005, Puar analyzes the War on Terror as an assemblage of racism, nationalism, patriotism, and terrorism, suggesting that it is "already profoundly queer". Her focus is on terrorist corporealities in opposition to "normative patriot bodies", and she argues that "discourses of counterterrorism are intrinsically gendered, raced, sexualized, and nationalized". Through an analysis of the American response to the Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse in 2004, she contends that contemporary discourses of Muslim sexuality only mask and reproduce an underlying belief in American exceptionalism. She also rearticulates the body of the suicide bomber as "a queer assemblage that resists queerness-as-sexual-identity", a force with the power to converge, implode, and rearrange time, space, and body. Finally, Puar focuses on the archetypal Sikh terrorist, turban and all, in order to posit that her examination of queerness as an assemblage calls attention to "epistemology in tandem with ontology".[5]
Suicide bombers are "queers" who engage in "queer assemblage". More likely to be dis-assemblage of queer bodies, especially separation of limbs and heads from the torso...
In her journal article, "Homonationalist Futurism: 'Terrorism' and (Other) Queer Resistance to Empire", Heike Schotten utilizes Puar's theoretical framework and conflates it with the theories of Lee Edelman to produce a model for thinking about racialized identities and resistance to the "sexual contures" of the United States Empire. Schotten posits that, when combined, Edelman and Puar's work serves as a crucial resource for "theorizing 'terrorism' and understanding it as an act of political resistance".[7]
:lol: :lol: :lol: "Terrorism as Queer Resistance" and "political resistance" :lol: :lol: :lol:
On February 3, 2016, Puar delivered a lecture at Vassar College, "Inhumanist Biopolitics: How Palestine Matters", in which she was critical of current Israeli policy toward Palestine, and particularly the Israel treatment of Palestinians.[8] Puar was recorded as stating (by persons attending the lecture) that Israel harvests the organs of dead Palestinians for scientific research; poisons Palestinians with uranium, lead, and phosphorus to "stunt" them; targets their procreative organs; maims them; and gives them the "bare minimum for survival" as part of a medical "experiment".[9][10] that would "transform the Palestinians into a population of half-fed zombies whose 'dismantled and dismembered bodies' can be subjected to 'gendering,' 'ungendering,' and 'epigenetic deterioration' through biological 'hacking.'" [11]
Holy shit what is she smoking?
Puar has received multiple awards:[1]

2007: Association for Asian American Studies Cultural Studies Book Award for Terrorist Assemblages: Homonationalism in Queer Times
2011: Excellence in Graduate Teaching Award, The Graduate School, Rutgers University.
2012. Northeast Universities Association of Graduate Schools Teaching Award, Honorable Mention
2013: Robert Sutherland Visitorship Award, Queens University
2013: Modern Languages Association GL/Q Caucus Michael Lynch Service Award
Excellence in Graduate Teaching. For the woman who thinks that muslim terrorists are "queer resistance and assemblage of queer bodies" and who supports conspiracy theories crazier than Alex Jones' chemtrails bullshit.

Academia in the US is thoroughly fucked.

Minor Christmas rant: I actually very much enjoy the holidays, or try to. Schmaltzy music and Charlie Brown/Rankin Bass specials never seem to get old for me.

But the one thing that ruins the holidays is that one relative who is insistent upon micro-managing the rest of the family's holiday. If we're not all scrambling and working on something right to the last second, we're not doing Christmas right. The fact that everyone else in the entire family but her just wants to get together, sit on our asses, and have a bit of chat with the television as background noise always fails to register.

Lol, if you want conservative governments in the Western World then this is the way you go about it. It comes to something when we don't have to even make conservative party political broadcasts anymore because the Cultural Marxists and their sub sects (SJW and feminists) do it for us. Though I admit it is too late for Sweden and Germany (cucks), they will serve as 'cannery in the coal mine' useful idiots. Some smaller countries may succumb to fascism but as long as the Anglosphere remains free then we can deal with them later.

On that cheerful note, merry Christmas and a happy New Year slymepitters. :D

Lol, if you want conservative governments in the Western World then this is the way you go about it. It comes to something when we don't have to even make conservative party political broadcasts anymore because the Cultural Marxists and their sub sects (SJW and feminists) do it for us. Though I admit it is too late for Sweden and Germany (cucks), they will serve as 'cannery in the coal mine' useful idiots. Some smaller countries may succumb to fascism but as long as the Anglosphere remains free then we can deal with them later.

On that cheerful note, merry Christmas and a happy New Year slymepitters. :D
Okay, I had to shoop one.

Surprisingly, I found an interesting article at the deadzone know as The Orbit blogging site:

Where are the Caribbean Atolls?

The really surprising thing is, it's about Atolls. Not 'Atolls in the Context of Heteronormative Elements of Renaissance Euroupe from a Queer Intersectional Perspective Towards a New Dynamic Synthesis of Sustainable Fibre Harvesting in Second Growth Forests with Respect to Global Warming Denialists' kind of stuff. Just Atolls. How they are formed and the like. Sometimes less is more. Well done Orbit blogger.

Hate to admit it, but it took me more that a minute to make the 'cannery' connection. I'm thinking 'that's a weird place to put a cannery'.

I saw that. Assumed it was code and wandered off.

Maybe the wildly swinging compass crossed momentarily into sanity. Enjoy before it dances away.

Merry Fuckin' Xmas one and all. And to our missing 'pitters, our dead comrade and all that have helped make this corner of the internets a lulzier and saner place.

Let's hope 2017 is a gentler year.

Cheers.

Gotta love the narcissism of Sticky Dicky. Yet again (as with his initial complaint filing) Carrier is always either "Dr Carrier" or "Dr Richard Carrier, Ph.D." Always. Never just "Carrier". (But Myers is referred to as "Paul Myers, Ph.D. ('Myers')" just once when first referred to, but from then on (~30 mentions) is just plain old "Myers".)

I'm guessing, but try "BigDataSetOfUSLegalDocuments.com"

You might have to sort through the results.

Wait a minute. On page 5, Carrier asserts that the FTBOrbit statements harmed several ventures that he was engaging in with or through Camp Quest. Hasn't he said his only involvement was as a donor?

Even though we found evidence to the contrary? His story changed again.

By "Hasn't he said his only involvement was as a donor?", do you mean monetarily or spermatically? Or a combination of the two? And I do not mean this in the facepalm way but rather in the facewipe way. Or maybe both.

But the one thing that ruins the holidays is that one relative who is insistent upon micro-managing the rest of the family's holiday. If we're not all scrambling and working on something right to the last second, we're not doing Christmas right. The fact that everyone else in the entire family but her just wants to get together, sit on our asses, and have a bit of chat with the television as background noise always fails to register.
You know what you have to do.

I think he has a mess all over his hands. He was lying. He had Camp Quest plans all along. In one of the exhibits, he also reiterates that SSA didn't ban him from speaking, even after two sexual harassment incidents: skiba and the one to which he accidentally confessed.

Yes I always think of the wrong side of the earth people when they ironically sing 'do they even know it's Christmas at all". To the people on the wrong side of the earth, there is no need to be afraid. I know the only water you have are your tears. And I cry a lot about that. And I cry even more about not being able to ship those tear over to your wrong side of the world to drink. Cause I know that all you can drink are tears. Because I don't think you have Coca-Cola on the wrong side of the planet. Which would be part of the reason it's the wrong side of the world, you cokeless fuckhead losers. And the irony is Coke has that bite on the palate that is just like the bitter sting of tears when you're having a snowless Christmas. And don't look out your windows on Christmas cause that would be dreadful and fearful thing. Cause poor people, which means coloured people. Which is upsetting on Christmas day, cause I think POC killed Jesus. Or something.

The worst thing about that awful pretentious 'we are looking down on you poor people on Christmas and aren't you happy we are looking down on you losers on Christmas'?

1.) It is a 1000X better than whatever that American POS XMAS bandaid was.

2.) They still play it every Christmas. At least radio stations had the common decency to tank the US song.

So, my point is, both side of the world are losers. Especially at Christmas time, for reason most drunkenly stated.

So, my point is, merry fucking Christmas you fucking loser on both sides of the world.

At least my side invented Coke.

BTW, the reason we don't play "Do they know it's Xmas" anymore is the line "Feed the world". We don't want to be reminded that we're all too fat already. If we could get a version with the line changed to "Diet sensibly" it would be a retro hit.

Maybe the SJW who came up with the SJW-correct lyrics to 'Baby It's Cold Outside' could make it work.

But I don't think so.

Western countries claim immigration is needed to sustain their populations. So why not only allow in single women only and let nature take it's course? Hell, the mysoginistic part of the world which is known collectively as the non-Western world - also known as the loser failed 3rd world - hates women anyway, and we would just be taking those fecund reproductive bodies out of a place that hates them and breeding the hell out of them for our first world purposes. Win, win win and schwing for the win!

Are you with me you manly first world men!

I didn't think so.

1st world paternity payments are a bitch. Or at least it makes bitches of us all.
