THE SMELL OF WEAKNESS


INTRODUCTION

As we predicted in our previous post


the notion that the (Main Stream Media) MSM will continue its campaign of DISINFORMATION with a 'share of voice' advantage (90 to 10) that they have practically unto themselves at this point (remember that in 2004 which was an election year, as a result of the BUSHIES' political ads, the shares of voice more accurately reflected the composition of the political spectrum, i.e. the balance of the 'shares of voice' for each side was 50 to 50). This imbalance in 2005 is largely due to the lack of GOP/BUSHIE counter punching, and the palpable emanation of the SMELL of WEAKNESS from the GOP, has been more than amply demonstrated in the past two months or so.


The only thing resembling 'counter information' or 'counter punching' was Bush's speech on Veteran's Day (using the 'bully pulpit'), and follow ups by both Bush and Cheney on the same thematic materials on subsequent days. They may have been reluctant to strike back before the 2006 Elections were in full swing for fear of depleting their resources too early (SEE: Dole). Then again, if the allegations are not contradicted, the BUSHIES may well be perceived to be WEAK, and the DEM's and MSM's campaign of LIES and DISINFORMATION in the absence of counterargument, may well be perceived to be plausible if not TRUE by the casual observer.


Why are the DEMS and their reliable lapdogs the MSM and PUNDIT PUKES doing this? Simply because they perceive the BUSHIES as lacking in a taste for DIRECT CONFRONTATION and therefore being WEAK (there's blood in the water??). If that's true, the RAD LEFTISTS are doing this BECAUSE THEY CAN!! (get away with it??)



After all, Bush's apparent APPROVAL rating is at 34% according to a recent (11-17-05) Harris Poll. Of course, what the MSM fail to mention is that the DEMS in Congress have an APPROVAL rating of 25% and a DISAPPROVAL rating of 70%, based on the same poll.


What's more, a recent Gallup Poll indicated that there's only a 28% level of confidence for the truth and reliability of MSM news. This level of skepticism seems to represent a degree of public dissatisfaction that negates the MSM's traditional alibi of 'don't blame the messenger' as an excuse for its failings as an unbiased delivery system for information.

The people seem to be disillusioned with politicians... and the MSM.

Duuuhhh.

POLLS DON'T COUNT ELECTIONS DO

One could argue that the DEMS are on an upsurge, and POLLS DON'T MATTER due to the recent results of November 05 Elections in several states. While we subscribe to the notion of ELECTIONS trumping POLLS, the fact of the matter is that the November 05 Elections in several states, in effect, left everything UNCHANGED.


While the GOP would have liked to have made some CONQUESTS, the November 05 Elections did not yield such conquests, and essentially resulted in maintaining the STATUS QUO (i.e. the DEMS did not make any new CONQUESTS either, and basically held on to what they already had). The avalanche of MSM anti-Bush, anti-GOP disinformation may have had a hand in this. They jumped on the palpable emanation of the SMELL of WEAKNESS (and potential dissention within the ranks) on the part of the GOP.


State governorships that were formerly occupied by DEMS, remained so. NYC's mayorship remained in the hands of Bloomberg, a RINO.


The biggest blow was for 'Ahhrnoldt' in CA. Ballot initiatives he favored, were voted down.

In this case it was more than the MSM's (LA Times??) efforts. The PUBLIC SECTOR UNIONS also mounted a massive DISINFORMATION campaign. 'Ahhrnoldt' did not seem to have the resources to respond, and the UNIONS pounced on this palpable emanation of the SMELL of WEAKNESS on the part of 'Ahhrnoldt'.


Apparently, those who voted in CA, preferred to be RULED BY PUBLIC SECTOR UNIONS and other 'TAX EATER' SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS rather than a DEMOCRACY of the PEOPLE. The advice communicated by these votes for those trying to earn an HONEST LIVING and keep a meaningful proportion of it for themselves and their families after TAXES, or to start or maintain a NEW BUSINESS (which might even create NEW JOBS) in CA, is to:


    'GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN!!'

THE RATIONALE FOR LIBERATING IRAQ

The PARTIES OF PERJURY (i.e. the DEMS, and their lapdogs the MSM and the PUNDIT PUKES) are pushing the envelope of public credulity by invoking the BIG LEFTIST LIE!! (i.e. the BUSHIES 'lied' about the rationale [which was depicted by the DEMS and MSM as being exclusively the danger from SADDAM having WMD] for the LIBERATION of IRAQ). It would seem that they assume that the rest of us somehow don't have memories. Intelligence agencies of several other nations in addition to our CIA, as well as various DEMS, along with the BUSHIES, thought that SADDAM had WMD's before the LIBERATION of IRAQ. Perhaps, SADDAM was bluffing. Only the Bushies, Blair, and the rest of the Coalition had the guts to NOT FOLD, but to CALL SADDAM's BLUFF.


What's more, no one seems to be implying that IRAQ after its LIBERATION represents an WMD danger to its neighbors or anyone else. That means that even if you believe that the only reason for LIBERATING IRAQ was to eliminate its WMD threat (an ERRONEOUS belief... there were many OTHER reasons as well), the Coalition [US; Britain; et al] by ridding IRAQ of SADDAM, was indeed successful in making sure that IRAQ is no longer a WMD threat. If you doubt that, consider IRAN or NORTH KOREA.

THE PLAME GAME

Anyone ever hear of Joseph Blowowski? He mops the floors at LANGLEY after hours, in areas where there are indeed such things as 'after hours'. His neighbor, after Joe bragged to him about his job in an oblique and roundabout but nevertheless nonstop fashion, figured out where Joe toiled. He eventually told a second neighbor that Joe 'worked for the CIA'.


Of course you never heard of Joe or his neighbor, because the CIA did not take umbrage at this 'outing' (because it was IN FACT INSIGNIFICANT and had no practical SECURITY IMPACT) and thus, the neighbor was never indicted by special prosecutor and/or a grand jury (even though they say that 'grand juries have been known to indict even a ham sandwich') for allegedly 'blowing Joe's cover', and neither Joe nor his neighbor was mentioned by the MSM because his neighbor did not provide any political anti-BUSHIE opportunities (the neighbor may have even been a DEM).


This is pretty much what should have happened even if it were not Joe, but rather Ms. Valerie Plame. Neither of them was a 'deep cover' agent who had been stationed overseas within the last three years of when their alleged 'outing' occurred (which are the parameters for determining whether 'outing' such a person is a crime), so the net impact of someone knowing that their boss was ultimately Tenet (or now Goss) should have been trivial. There was NO CRIME.


However, that's not how it worked out in the Ms. Plame case. Because Ms. Plame was the wife of zealously partisan Bush hater and Iraq critic Joe Wilson, the 'Plame Game' got 'leaked' to DEM Sen. NY Chuck Schumer , and was immediately trumpeted to the world at large by his faithful lapdogs the MSM.


In retrospect, there are some who wonder whether the CIA's intelligence failures as documented by various investigative committees (most notably, the Senate Intelligence Committee), were a case of pure incompetence or more perniciously, an attempt to SABOTAGE THE BUSHIES (after all there were a lot of KLINTONISTA holdovers in the CIA) and to try to steer events in an effort to divert attention from the CIA's shortcomings after 9/11, and to implement their own institutional and/or parochial foreign policy agendas, along the same lines as the STATE DEPARTMENT.


If there's even a grain of truth in this hypothesis, then that sure as hell is SCARY (the CIA stabbing the USA and its INTERESTS in the back???.... WOW!!). Then again, it may not be all that implausible when viewed in the light of the current antics of the DEM (loyal??) opposition regarding IRAQ.


ALL of the FACTS need to come out on this issue, and due to the fact that they seemed to palpably emanate the SMELL of WEAKNESS, the BUSHIES have been more than negligent in not previously insisting that the relevant FACTS in this case are made public and see the light of day in the MSM. Lotsa LUCK in hoping for that, unless someone makes a ruckus big enough so that the MSM can no longer ignore it (for fear of being scooped) or control it.


The DEM's and MSM's and PUNDIT PUKE's contention that 'The DEMS are on a ROLL', seems to be based on a faulty sense of proportion and perspective (i.e. the way WE see and depict something is in fact 'the only TRUE measure of all things'). All they seem to have come up with so far, is CINDY SHEEHAN, who seems to be the only one KOW-TOWING to the MARXIST MAGGOT ANTI-WAR LINE. She's ONE, divided by 2000+ of families affected by IRAQI WAR DEATHS. That works out to less than one in two thousand plus... less than one twentieth of one percent, and this is somehow supposed to be 'the measure of all things'. We covered all this in our previous post.


Then there's DEM Rep. Murtha (He's an ex-Marine. Of course, LEE HARVEY OSWALD was also an ex-Marine. What you WERE once, may not have anything to do with what you are today [SEE: KERRY]). Murtha called for an immediate withdrawal from IRAQ. This is nothing new. He also called for the US to pull out of Mogadishu, SOMALIA, under KLINTON's watch.


The House of Representatives voted on this immediate pullout (CUT AND RUN??) proposition, and defeated it by a vote of 403-3 with 6 abstentions. The Elected Representatives of AMERICA apparently did not seem to feel it was time to CUT AND RUN. That's another instance of distorted proportions with respect to a particular point of view (i.e. the RADICAL LEFT DEMS with Murtha in their service, claiming 'all of AMERICA' was for an immediate pullout) related to how much attention it got on the MSM.


RIOTS IN FRANCE

This is not really a big surprise. Somehow the notion that France, Russia, England, Holland, and Spain would be spared from the onslaught of RAD ISLAM because they chose to 'make nice' via 'multiculturalism and PC' and other 'appeasement conundrums', seems to have been proven false by recent and not so recent events. Only Germany (of that 'bunch') has still been unaffected.



    * FORGET RETRO RADS... LET'S LIVE IN THE 21st CENTURY
    PART (1 of 1)


All of them (not counting Blair's England) seem to have made the bet that either opposing the USA and British leadership in LIBERATING IRAQ or being 'multicultural' with respect to RAD ISLAMISTS in their midst, would somehow shield them from TERRORISM at the hands of RAD ISLAM.


Now granted that what happened in the FRENCH 'banlieues' was not the same thing as SUICIDE BOMBER TERRORISM resulting in people being killed (the main victims seemed to be CARS and HOUSES), and what happened there was not quite a manifestation of RED/RAD ISLAM, the point is that FRANCE was not exactly 'rewarded' by its indigent MUSLIMS for opposing the LIBERATION of IRAQ.


Our contention is that in spite of the FRENCH STYLE 'cozy apartheid' provided for those who emigrated there, and the fact that being on 'FRENCH UNEMPLOYMENT' yielded more living standard goodies than the yields from whatever legitimate EMPLOYMENT was available in their Arab or Northern or Central African homelands (a direct consequence of FRANCE's SOCIALISTIC WELFARE STATE [i.e. FRANCE made itself a WELFARE MAGNET]), once they arrived, these 'emigres' were ISOLATED, in terms of cultural and economic assimilation into 'apartheid ghettos' within the 'OLD EUROPE' world of FRANCE.


Only 'OLD ETHNIC FRENCHMEN WHO ALREADY HAD JOBS' were allowed to keep these jobs at artificially (UNION MANDATED) high salaries and benefits, and this resulted in no NEW JOBS for emigres or anyone else, which resulted in a close to a 10% unemployment rate in FRANCE overall, and triple or more of that for the emigres. What's more, their ex-urban ghettos (created by FRENCH 'dirigistes') were essentially allowed to be LAWLESS as long as they did not interfere with 'MAINSTREAM FRANCE'. Rather SOONER than LATER, this POPULATION BOMB (they were also MORE FECUND than 'OLD EUROPE') exploded.



    * FORGET RETRO RADS... LET'S LIVE IN THE 21st CENTURY
    PART (1 of 1)


Be these conditions as they may, we contend that while these 'SOCIOLOGICAL explanations' may get at some things that may have been contributory factors, they mostly miss the mark. The RIOTS occurred mainly because the FRENCH ESTABLISHMENT, in line with our theme of WEAKNESS, was perceived to be essentially WEAK by the MUSLIM RIOTERS. They RIOTED because they were able to sense FRENCH WEAKNESS, and as a result, felt they could 'poke the FRENCH GORILLA' and for the most part, 'get away with it'.


This is not to say that FRANCE is incapable of REPRESSIVE MEASURES (apres moi... Le Pen??), nor was TSAR Nicholas before the Russian Revolution. However, in spite of occasionally resorting to REPRESSION, Nicholas was nevertheless WEAK. Similarly, we contend that they (the FRENCH ESTABLISHMENT) don't have a CLUE as to how to deal with the RIOTS, given their 'bicycle seat sniffer' SOCIALISTIC multicultural dirigiste proclivities, which palpably reek of the STENCH of WEAKNESS.


THE ALITO CONFIRMATION

For openers, Alito has an extensive audit trail. There's documented evidence that he is indeed a CONSERVATIVE as this term applies to judicial matters. Ms. Meiers did not have such an audit trail. So why did Bush come to nominate Meiers first?


We suspect that Bush was betting that CONSERVATIVES would trust his choice, while the DOCTRINAIRE LEFTIST ZEALOTS wouldn't be able to find anything on her (she had no paper trail), so that confrontation would be avoided and her confirmation would sail right through. This was a strategy (trying to avoid confrontation) that was based on WEAKNESS, and in fact, this stunt palpably emanated the SMELL of WEAKNESS. It was both a WEAK and a STUPID move because as things turned out, not only did the DOCTRINAIRE LEFTIST ZEALOTS attack anyway (surprise, surprise!!), but the CONSERVATIVE BASE was notably displeased as well. Both sides seemed to see this choice as being based on cronyism rather than judicial merit, and uncertainty as to where she stood was also perceived as a negative by both sides.


Eventually, the BUSHIES ended up doing with Alito, what we suggested they should have done in the first place when we commented on the Roberts nomination.


It is said that Alito 'calls em as he sees em' rather than being guided by some sort of ideological searchlight.


Of course judging each case on its merits is not good enough for the LEFTIST EXTREMIST ZEALOTS. They want guarantees that Alito will 'call em as WE see em' (i.e. to judge everything by THEIR DOCTRINAIRE IDEOLOGICAL LITMUS TESTS).


These are the same people who brayed to the high heavens that their preferences should be paramount when the College of Cardinals deliberated in the selection of a new POPE in April, even though most of them are Atheists or Secular Humanists (is there a BIG difference?), and don't particularly wish either Christians or the Catholic Church well. But somehow, they felt that their TAIL should wag the dog of the rest of the world. Such arrogance should be greeted with a well selected transitive verb (starting with F) followed by a personal pronoun.


No matter who BUSH nominated, these MARXIST MAGGOTS would oppose that person simply because BUSH did the nominating. To cater to them (or to even acknowledge them) is a sign of WEAKNESS, and to ignore one's core supporters in the process of doing so, is a sign of STUPIDITY. Let's hope that such gaffes will not be repeated.


CONCLUSION

In closing, we hope that Alito will be confirmed, and once on the bench, will support our right to continue to celebrate Thanksgiving.


In spite of the strategic and tactical shortcomings of the BUSHIES on several key issues (most recently, the concession to commit to a 'drawdown' of troop strength in IRAQ, even before the DECEMBER elections there... hell, we STILL have troops in Germany and Japan, close to 50 years after they have become viable democracies. Maybe someone should be calling for our withdrawal from those places first, simply based on the concept of 'first in first out').


Maybe these apparent strategic and tactical errors on part of the BUSHIES are more a case of 'trying to be nice' than 'trying to be STUPID'. In any event, such moves are immediately taken as a sign of WEAKNESS by our enemies (apparently including AMERICA HATING DEMS).


For what it's worth, the BUSHIES still stand as the only bulwark between ourselves and the MARXIST SLUDGE on the other side of the political spectrum.


There's also a cautionary notion regarding the overwhelming advantage the DEMS currently have in terms of 'share of voice' for their DISINFORMATION. All this does is to increase 'bandwidth'. If the message flowing through this 'bandwidth' does not resonate with the AMERICAN PEOPLE, then giving this message extensive exposure will actually harm the cause of the DEM deployers of their WEAPONS of MASS DECEPTION.


As a case in point, Joe Biden and Carl Levin have recently been getting lots of exposure on PUNDIT PUKE TALKING HEAD SHOWS on TV on Sunday mornings. Both appeared on the FOX variant of this genre. Both were caught in egregious LIES regarding their contentions that 'BUSH LIED', by Chris Wallace. We suspect that extensive exposure of this kind (along with more TV time for Dr. Demento, Howard Dean) will not have the effect the DEMS are hoping for. ALL Voters are not as STUPID as the DEM core constituencies when they parse this kind of drivel, as is evidenced by the results of the 2004 Elections.


So it goes.


THE PEOPLE SHALL JUDGE
