It’s all about selling a false narrative to a gullible and stupid majority. The more the better, the easier it becomes. I wrote this piece today about this subject of harnessing the deliberate false narrative. Gruber was just stupid, done in by hubris, unable to resist the temptation to openly brag to his loving cohort of peers, forgetting that video is everywhere today. Can you say Macaca? Hello?
Here is something I just posted on the Arfcom Stonewalled thread. Keep an eye out for a short piece on this topic about how Team Obama wins by using the False Narrative Method. In fact, it such a go-to strategy, that it immediately came to mind on Benghazi 9-11, because they keep “media tools” on ice for when they need them, then toss the to friendly media playing Master and Rover, go fetch. Tail wagging. Look at all the false narratives, starting with Obama is just an all-American boy of mixed heritage. They know better, at American Pravda. They could have done Ayers-Obama stories ten years ago and saved us from this. They knew. And now, but they did not report. The entire subject was taboo, stonewalled. At American Pravda they are committed to supporting Obamas’ False Narrative no matter what.
Another false narrative, just turn on ABCNNBCBS News anytime. Most reasonable Americans are welcoming their new neighbors from Central America cheerfully. “Welcome to our neighborhood, Graciella and familia!” Only a few ugly hate-filled racist tea-party types are out there screaming at children! Boo-hiss on racist bitter clingers! You can count on seeing it that way on Reasonable TV.
But we look around our areas and we don’t see reality like that anywhere we’ve been. Most Americans do NOT want to get in line with more people, especially illiterate poor sick non-English speakers in the shuffle of life. Life is already hard. Enough all ready. But you don’t see reality on ABCNNBCBS. You see the false narrative. “A new NBC-Merrick polls suggests that most Americans support President Obama’s new immigration initiative.” Cut from blessed happy multicultural scenes, and the pretty valedictorian getting her degree, cut over to a few old, fat, white racists screaming at crying children from far away who just need a home.
Goebbels could not have scripted it better.
That’s why reporters like Atkisson and Hastings are such a danger to them. They pop the bubble of the false narratives, at least sometimes. Hastings was most likely murdered by cutouts of coutouts but leading back to who would be most damaged by a Hastings blockbuster about Petraeu/Morell/Brennan/Hillary/Panetta/Jarrett and Obama hiding under his bed or in a “safe room” behind it, cowering. Can you imagine the incredible movie it would make? Truthfully told? “12 Hours in Benghazi and DC” would be the most incredible movie ever. But it would never be 1/2 truthfully told. There is too much disgraceful behavior by top players who would be harmed. Hillary for starters. Obama, he doesn’t care. It’s a joke to him (”I didn’t dissolve parliament!”), he’s a short timer and he’ll make a cool million a speech forever.
It’s all so corrupt and rotten it sickens me. Steve Kroft of 60 minutes, all the rest, “dependable go-to pass-off guys who play “fetch” for Team Obama, what presstitutes. The are willing actors in selling the Team Obama False Narrative.
Very true - and applies every bit as well to those who want to deploy federal force against vice.
Sowell is right of course. What fool would trust anything this Administration says or promises?
We’re their betters. They just don’t know it.
He said if every American who could not afford health insurance had been placed on Medicaid, the annual cost would have been $200 billion.
He also pointed out that Americans who could afford insurance were 80%-90% satisfied with their policies.
I'll guess that when the real costs of ObamaCare are added up, that $200 billion price tag on Medicaid will look pretty reasonable.
Instead, we ripped apart and destroyed one of the best health care systems in the world.
Thank you for posting this. I was wanting to know Dr. Sowell’s take on Grubergate.
The world’s greatest intellectual cuts to the chase again. Dr. Sowell also points to a possible motive for all these Bill Cosby allegations: namely, to deflect attention away from Obama and possibly Mr. Gruber as well with some salacious gossip.
