Not content with demanding he drop out of the race, thereby guaranteeing a divided Democratic Party and all but certain defeat, some commentators in the press are now calling for Biden to resign the Presidency, and even suggesting using the 25th Amendment to remove him from office. Over a single shaky debate performance.

Naturally, not a whisper about Trump dropping his bid to become dictator for life after his 34 felony convictions.

We were prepared for the likely Republican coup attempt in January. But what we are seeing now is nothing less than an attempted coup by elements of the press.

US military intelligence and the CIA have engaged in covert operations involving trauma-based mind control. The Satanic Ritual Abuse Networks were a multi-faceted apparatus of psychological manipulation and domestic terror based on Satan worship.

Under programs like MK Ultra and Project Monarch, the objective was the systematic destruction of human consciousness. These operations targeted vulnerable individuals, particularly children, employing horrific methods such as forced drugging, electroshock, and ritual abuse.

At the heart of this sinister system lies a network of interlinked families and bloodline dynasties whose influence is rooted in occult practices and control over capital. Figures like the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, and Windsors wield power through a worship of Satan – which requires child rape, torture and human sacrifice.

Proof of the dark practices first came to light back on 16 Oct. 2019 when an unbelievable 2,100 children being held in cages in underground tunnels at the California China Lake Military facility were rescued by Navy Seals and US Marines. The children and teens were said to have been sexually abused, tortured and killed to collect their Adrenachromed blood.

Since then millions of traumatized children, some of whom have never seen the light of day, pregnant preteens, deformed babies, piles of little corpses whose bodies were apparently used for organ harvesting, children locked in cages, electro-shocked and traumatized in order to harvest their blood – Adrenochrome for the elites to drink – have been carried by Marines out of like tunnels across the nation – and World.

A secret US Military operation has been sweeping an extensive network of underground tunnels across the US and into Canada, Mexico and across the globe to rescue millions of horrifically abused children. Recent operations centered beneath major cities in New York, California, Florida and Washington.

The fact that Chloe decided to keep Clark's powers a secret actually makes everything else she's done so much worse, because it means she does know how damaging her lurid, salacious, Daily Mail/Perez Hilton-esque "journalism" is, she just doesn't give a fuck until it might affect someone she personally cares about.

The one thing I'm still questioning about the new daredevil show is how they're going to deal with the cops and military. Like cops = bad is a fundamental principle of both daredevil and the punisher, and the punisher has more federal and military involvement than daredevil, but the point is both series are very anti-law enforcement. I wonder with the contracts marvel has w the military how much of that will make it into the show

Frank James, the man arrested for Tuesday's New York City subway shooting, is a black nationalist and outspoken racist who railed against whites, Jews, and Hispanics. A careful reader of the New York Times could be forgiven for overlooking that. In a nearly 2,000-word article on the attack, James's race is not mentioned. The same is true for the coverage offered up by Reuters; the Washington Post only mentioned James's race in relation to his condemnation of training programs for "low-income Black youths."

Media critics on the right say that the conspicuous omission of James's race from these news reports illustrates a trend among prestige papers, which deemphasize or omit the race of non-white criminals while playing up the race of white offenders. But is it a real pattern?

Yes. A Washington Free Beacon review of hundreds of articles published by major papers over a span of two years finds that papers downplay the race of non-white offenders, mentioning their race much later in articles than they do for white offenders. These papers are also three to four times more likely to mention an offender's race at all if he is white, a disparity that grew in the wake of George Floyd's death in 2020 and the protests that followed.

The Free Beacon collected data on nearly 1,100 articles about homicides from six major papers, all written between 2019 and 2021. Those papers included the Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, New York Times, Philadelphia Inquirer, San Francisco Chronicle, and Minneapolis's Star-Tribune—representatives of each paper did not return requests for comment for this article. For each article, we collected the offender's and victim's name and race, and noted where in the article the offender's race was mentioned, if at all.

The data suggest an alarming editorial trend in which major papers routinely omit information from news reports, presenting readers with a skewed picture of who does and doesn't commit crime. These editorial choices are part and parcel with the "racial reckoning" that swept newsrooms in the wake of Floyd's murder, which saw journalists dramatically overhauling crime coverage to emphasize the view that the criminal justice system is racist at the root—perhaps at the expense of honesty about individual offenders' crimes.

The chart above indicates that papers are far quicker to mention the race of white murderers than black. (Those two races account for 92 percent of mentions in the data, so others are not shown.) Half of articles about a white offender mention his race within the first 15 percent of the article. In articles about black offenders, by contrast, mentions come overwhelmingly toward the end of the piece. Half of the articles that mention a black offender's race do not do so until at least 60 percent of the way through, and more than 20 percent save it until the last fifth of the article.

Of course, journalists choose not only where in a piece to mention an offender's race, but also whether to mention it at all, and omissions can skew a reader's perspective.

To measure these choices, we identified the race of the offender in roughly 900 stories where his name, but not his race, was mentioned, first by looking at the race of people with the same name in Census data, and then hand-confirming race based on mug shots or other images published in local news stories.

Doing so permits an estimate of how often journalists highlight an offender's race—or don't. Again, the skew is startling: White offenders' race was mentioned in roughly 1 out of every 4 articles, compared with 1 in 17 articles about a black offender and 1 in 33 articles about a Hispanic offender.

This effect is driven in part by a handful of major news stories involving white perpetrators, though the attention paid to these stories is also an editorial choice. But even after omitting reports about white offenders Kyle Rittenhouse, Derek Chauvin, and the killers of Ahmaud Arbery, the race of white offenders is mentioned in 16 percent of cases, two to three times the rate at which the race of black offenders is mentioned. (Middle Eastern offenders were labeled as Asian in this analysis, but labeling them as white results in only a small change to the race mention rate.)

This disparity widened following George Floyd's murder. Before May of 2020, papers were roughly twice as likely to mention the race of a white (13 percent of stories) versus a black perpetrator (7 percent). After May of 2020, the numbers were 28 percent and 4 percent, a ratio of seven to one. Even omitting the above-mentioned stories, papers still mentioned race in 23 percent of stories about white killers post-Floyd, a six-to-one ratio.

It could be that there were more stories in which a white offender's race was relevant after Floyd's death than before. But it is also easy to see how the increased attention to white murderers represents a change in what reporters and editors thought it was, and was not, important for their readers to hear about, particularly after they publicly committed to revamping their crime reporting following Floyd's death.

Newspapers across the country—including the��Inquirer—stopped publishing mugshot galleries in part because, two Florida newspapers wrote, they "may have reinforced negative stereotypes." Others committed to overhauling their language, substituting phrases like "formerly incarcerated person" for "felon" to respond to what the Poynter Institute described as an "inextricabl[e]" link between reporting on crime and "race and racism." And the Associated Press amended its style guide to discourage the use of the word "riot," which allegedly has racist connotations.

At the same time, major newsrooms have prioritized "racial justice" coverage, part of a push for what the journalist-cum-activist Wesley Lowery called "moral clarity" over "objectivity": writing news reports that take the sides on contested issues with the goal of advancing a political objective.

Such "moral clarity" may mean downplaying black crime and emphasizing white crime. In the case of offenders like James, it means leaving readers in the dark about an important element of the story—journalistic malfeasance that is, of course, in service of the greater good.

I love the idea of a journalist Obi-Wan, but it seems like it would really change Playmaker. There wouldn't be the same level of betrayal *and* 180 degree job switch. Like, journalist Obi-Wan could absolutely still write articles (about Anakin's enemies or penguins or any topic Not Anakin) after they get together. Detective Obi-Wan cannot keep his day job.

there would definitely be some addendums or adjustments 🤔 I think it may make anakin a little less interested because he’s not corrupting a detective ….. but I think he’d also still be interested in corrupting the son of the police chief even if he isn’t a detective

I think it’d make for an interesting dynamic between qui-gon and obi-wan before the betrayal because qui-gon could’ve super disappointed in obi-wan’s career choices in a way that pressured him into accepting the undercover job with minimal training or hope that it’ll work — it could make obi-wan showing up at the policeman’s ball thing soooo much more tense because he was never allowed or invited by his father to go but anakin takes him

but it would make mace not really his mentor which would be a sad loss for me personally cause I like that dynamic…. I think it could still end with obi-wan losing his job if his father requested that the paper fire him (anakin volunteers to pressure the paper into keeping him on as an employee which would be a cool power struggle between the mob and the police played out over obi-wan’s job 🤔🤔
