They've shed their morality, qualms & self-respect. It seems a lot like being behind the wheel of a car on the freeway in neutral, foot flat on the gas pedal, engine screaming. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, everybody else is rushing past, ignoring you sitting there going nowhere. Nietzsche work if you can get it.
I got the updated Covid. Not the booster. Can’t say as much as I recommend the Real Thing, but it’s less bad than the flu I got last March, which was slightly akin to taking a Looney Tunes anvil to the head. Anyway, Jonathan, good luck with the yuck, recover your pluck, and thanks for all the fuckin’ nooz. Cackled my ass off at “man behind the hurtin’”, too.
In 2004, Mark Thompson replaced Greg Dyke as Director-General of the BBC after the Hutton Report was released. The Hutton Report was intended as an investigation into "the circumstances surrounding the death of Dr. Kelly". Dr. Kelly was a former UN weapons inspector in Iraq who, in a BBC interview, publicly and anonymously disputed the claim in a British intelligence document that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction capable of reaching London within 45 minutes. These false claims provided the Blair government with an excuse to join Bush in his Operation Desert Storm, intended to overthrow Saddam Hussein. Dr. Kelly was found dead a few days after his anonymous BBC interview. It was ruled a suicide. During his deposition for the Hutton Report, Blair's spin doctor, Alastair Campbell, had a melt down, threw a tantrum, and thus managed to make the entire Hutton investigation about himself and the apology the BBC owed him. The main conclusion of the Hutton Report was that the claim that Alastair Campbell was responsible for the false claims about weapons of mass destruction was "unfounded." The BBC was forced to apologize. Greg Dyke was fired, and the entire BBC was placed under strict management supervision. From that point on, every BBC reporter's interview questions had to be submitted and approved by their superior before the interview took place. There was a massive outflow of reporters from the BBC. Until then, I considered the BBC a highly reliable news source. I switched to The Guardian, the only source reporting on the massacre at the BBC at the time. We learned little about the circumstances surrounding Dr. Kelly's death. Mark Thompson was the supervisor of the "cleanup" at the BBC.
Hoarse horselaffs thru teary eyes (& runny nose... Hey! Get back here, you!) even as your call-back loops get clinched ever-tighter. One note, it's bad enough that I can't afford to support you directly, I can't imagine I'm the only one who finds it frustrating when you put a link to something like a new Corey Doctor-ow! interview on Vox Vapo-Rub, only to find there's a paywall. And 12 ft Ladder ain't woikin' so I'm going to have to find some other way to sneak underneath...
I'm still digesting your outstanding original reporting on your other site. Wow! So crazy. And these people are driving the car! And as you discuss in today's TFN, aided and abetted my the main stream press, especially as it's increasingly captured by oligarchs. To paraphrase Michael Moore's 2003 Oscar speech … we have a fictitious president, using fake "intelligence," cheerled by a fictitious "press," launching fictitious wars (both domestically and internationally). I hope that your report on Byrne, et al gets a wide audience.
Credit to the other Newsfuckers who pointed out your specific greatness(es) today—I caught the steer pun, btw—and if you can play hurt, so can I, by saying great stuff today, Jonathan. Way to rub some dirt on it and carry on. On to your JL ‘stack to read the non-swearing reporting. 🫡
Even though you're not feeling well and didn't get any sleep and you're working on a big story (not to mention the bad fuel!), you still managed to come up a line like "the man behind the hurtin'." Thank you! Feel better!
Just to put it in prospective, folks that seem fine with destroying 1/3 of the White House were probably the same people that were incensed by the picture of Obama with his feet up on the Resolute Desk.
Random. A few thoughts on Jennifer Welch: https://torrancestephensphd.substack.com/p/the-limousine-liberal-syndrome-strikes
Cheap old fart here. The idea of my tax dollars going to SNAP makes me happy.
@Jonathan, you are quoted by Wonkette!

Cool beans! Thanks!
Oh yeah, forgot to mention David Shuster mentioned your recidivist headline in a Rebel HQ vid last week 😊
Ha! I thought I was the only one who still says cool beans. :D
Boycott

"Bad fuel"???
Over my many years, I've known pilots, military folks and military pilots and I can assure you NO military aircraft go up with "bad fuel".
He's hiding something, as usual.
SO...the "ballroom" isn't why the historical Whitehouse that we always assumed would be there was trashed?
There is a COMMAND CENTER UNDERNEATH what was the Whitehouse. A bunker for POTUS and friends during a DISASTER.
Sounds like the main aim was to "renovate" the Command Center. The old one doesn't have a direct camera/ sound pickup that is connected to Russia.
Trump probably wants to fancy it up with gold everything. Unfortunately that would be done with fools gold.

Wut? I thought the Vox thing was a republish on Yahoo! Ugh, sorry about that. I think I fixed it. Try here: https://currently.att.yahoo.com/att/why-every-website-used-love-110000521.html

Thank you, J Wood. (Don't tell anyone it's a rerun!)
Hope you feel better soon, JL. I appreciate your daily TFN and all its glorious snark.
