Rape Fakers Must Pay a Higher Price

DemoMSM Demolition Backed by Demo Donor
Media bias isn't news — the mainstream media has always leaned hard left. In fact, countering that bias was one of the main reasons for launching The Patriot Post in 1996. Last month, we noted a study that showed not just bias, but Trump Derangement Syndrome in the media. An astounding 80% of the MSM's overage coverage of Donald Trump has been negative. The Washington Post (83% negative) has taken a particularly noticeable nosedive in our opinion, becoming an obsessed, rant-filled rag. Every single day, its email broadcasts are full of literally nothing but negative Trump headlines.
"Isn't that terribly unfair?" the Post's Margaret Sullivan asks. "Here's my carefully nuanced answer: Hell, no."
She continues, "That's because when we consider negative vs. positive coverage of an elected official, we're asking the wrong question. ... If a president is doing a rotten job, it's the duty of the press to report how and why he's doing a rotten job."
Fair enough in a sense. Barack liar-nObama, in our estimation, almost never merited positive coverage because he was doing a rotten job. But the true conservative complaint about the media isn't that they don't offer one good news story for every bad news one. It's that they make up news out of whole cloth and use it to push an agenda, all while pretending to be objectively calling balls and strikes. Sullivan is essentially protesting that they're not the ones pitching; they're just umpiring. And that's hogwash. The DemoMSM's sole purpose ever since helping Trump win the GOP nomination has been to destroy him and derail his agenda, using fake news whenever it suits them. Sullivan promises that will continue as long as Trump is "doing a rotten job."
In a seemingly unrelated news item that actually illustrates our point, Tom Steyer, a billionaire lefty who's superPAC donated $100 million to Democrats in 2016, wrote a letter to Congress imploring them to begin impeachment proceedings. He argues that the "clear and undisputed facts about Mr. Trump's attempt to impede an FBI investigation demand an immediate impeachment inquiry by the House of Representatives."
When the media's revenue is soaring thanks to its hyperventilating Trump coverage, and when the Democrats' top donor is calling for impeachment, it seems to us that's evidence of collusion on a massive and institutional scale.

The “Game of Camps”
Revisited: Why Qatar? Why Now?
by Col. (res.) Dr. Eran Lerman
{besacenter.org} ~ In the Middle East “game of camps”, the Qataris have been playing a dangerous game for years. They have provocatively supported the Muslim Brotherhood and actively promoted the destabilization of existing regimes... using huge sums of money as well as the pernicious influence of Al Jazeera TV. The dramatic steps taken against them over the past few days are thus hardly surprising, but they shed some light on the present stage in the struggle for regional hegemony. Sheikh Tamim’s recent tweet urging a soft line towards Iran might be authentic as the Saudis say or a deliberate hoax as the Qataris were quick to claim, but the subsequent onslaught against Qatar has little to do with Iran. Qatar is no Iranian proxy: in practice, the Qataris finance anti-Iranian forces in Syria and joined the anti-Houthi war in Yemen... https://besacenter.org/perspectives-papers/game-camps-revisited-qatar-now/

SCARED-RYAN Preaches FAUX UNITY To House
He Leads In SABOTAGE, Attacking President
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Speaker of the House Paul Ryan’s speech writer prepared some moderately pretty words for him to say following the attack on the Congressional Republican baseball team practice... To enhance their impact, Ryan even delivered them at times in a weak voice, whether genuine or theatrical, one that was quite evident. It’s too bad he couldn’t find Chuck clown-Schumer, to borrow his hankie. The do-nothing Congress is scared on this day, the provocateurs in the Democrat Party who have been inciting violence finally got their way. They convinced a deranged civilian to do their dirty work for them and to target Republicans for death, unarmed, defenseless and practicing baseball. That is the result of what they have been fueling ever since liar-nObama’s first Molotov cocktail was thrown back in Ferguson, Missouri in August of 2014. Since then everything that’s wrong in America became the fault of Republicans and later, Donald Trump. What happened today was inevitable and it’s surely going to happen again. Violence has been encouraged, promoted and financed by the Democrats, led by Hussein liar-nObama, Eric Holder and liar-Hillary Clinton, with money provided by the evil one, George Soros... http://rickwells.us/scared-ryan-preaches-faux-unity-house-leads-sabotage-attacking-president/
.5 Ways liar-nObamacare Proves
That Government-Run Health Care Is a Disaster
by Sen. John Barrasso
{dailysignal.com} ~ liar-nObamacare has failed to deliver the health care reform Americans deserve. The Senate now has an opportunity to reform health care and walk our country back from the single-payer edge... After seven years of liar-nObamacare, it’s important to remember the many ways liar-nObamacare has failed us—and why consumer-friendly, market-driven health care should remain the goal. Here are five ways liar-nObamacare’s track record shows why expanding government’s role in health care would be an even bigger disaster...http://dailysignal.com/2017/06/13/5-ways-obamacare-proves-that-government-run-health-care-is-a-disaster/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTkRFd05UYzRaalU1TmpFMiIsInQiOiJzT0hnbmZaOFBvYnBERjgzRG8xeDN0WlJrY09IT2lGMFQ4dDRHbURjdmY2QmNTTGN0RnhXeWVtY1JJR2tRVmJ4SU9pQWdiK1wvaDMxUGhCdTdlc0xDN1VaWitcL0dMaE9CVjE3VHRCZGhCdDBOYUlEclJkaDcrZk9uS0VUYlJiSGxCIn0%3D.
Former liar-nObama DHS
Adviser Tweets Support for Qatar
by John Rossomando
{investigativeproject.org} ~ A former Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC) member with Muslim Brotherhood sympathies expressed support for Qatar this week, as the Gulf State finds itself increasingly isolated for its terror support... Even the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) called on Qatar to halt its terror support, but Mohamed Elibiary retweeted several statements supporting the Gulf emirate. "Qatar is a land of civilization, peace, success, love, vision, respect, cooperation and challenge: international report (UN)," said one post Elibiary reposted. Another retweet shows Gazans rallying in support of Qatar five days after Saudi Arabia and its allies announced a blockade... https://www.investigativeproject.org/6289/former-obama-dhs-adviser-tweets-support-for-qatarby John Rossomando

Trump Train Railroaded By Mueller
Rush To Impeach – Stop It While He Still Can
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ The window of opportunity is open but it is gradually sliding shut as word comes that the tool of the political establishment whose mission it is to take down President Trump, Robert Mueller... is not investigating the phony Russia allegations that were the supposed reason for his being put into position. Instead, he’s looking at obstruction of justice, a claim being pressed at the behest of Mueller’s former protégé and close personal friend, the dirty cop Trump fired, former FBI Director James Comey. The conflict of interest is clear and undeniable. So is the lack of integrity on the part of Robert Mueller for accepting the position and upon being discovered, failing to remove himself. President Trump knows quite well he’s the target of a witch hunt, he’s stated it many times. He’s been given a golden opportunity to call it off by virtue of the conflict of interest between Mueller and Comey...http://rickwells.us/trump-train-railroaded-mueller-rush-impeach-stop-can/.

{truthrevolt.org} ~ It's settled, but far from over. The University of Virginia fraternity that was slimed and defamed by sicko fabulist Sabrina Erdely will receive a $1.65 million payment, the fraternity announced this week.
Erdely's manufactured tale of gang rape by Phi Kappa Psi members, spun through a manipulated UVA student dubbed "Jackie" and published by left-wing Rolling Stone magazine, combusted spectacularly after scrutiny by independent journalists in late 2014. The latest payout over the fictional hit piece comes in the wake of another defamation lawsuit by UVA dean of students Nicole Eramo. She won a $3 million jury verdict last year after suffering great damage to her reputation after Rolling Stone and painted her as an uncaring, obstructionist school official who covered up sexual assault on campus.
The judgment, Eramo told NBC 29 in Charlottesville, Virginia, last week, "was vindicating."
But is it enough to compensate for the harm done -- and is it enough to deter future rape hoaxers and their media enablers from perpetrating more lies against innocent young men?
Phi Kappa Psi initially sued for $25 million, but received a tiny fraction of that amount. Eramo's jury award also shrunk after she agreed to a settlement with Rolling Stone in April. Despite her court victory, she faced a mountain of legal bills related to trial costs and a threatened appeal.
And what about Erdeley's other victims?
Three other Phi Kappa Psi alumni, George Elias IV, Stephen Hadford and Ross Fowler, filed a third defamation suit that was dismissed by a federal judge last year. But in April, the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals in New York heard arguments for reinstating the case. It will take considerable time and resources for the fraternity members to be made whole again.
Even more troubling: There are other forgotten targets of Erdely's shoddy slur-nolism, again published by Rolling Stone, who have yet to see any accountability for her destructive words and actions against them.
In 2011, Erdely published a massive "investigation" in Rolling Stone alleging a "high-level conspiracy" to cover up sexual abuse by Philadelphia Catholic clergy. Erdely featured the graphic allegations of a troubled accuser known as "Billy Doe," who lodged wild rape charges against two Catholic priests and a lay teacher. His testimony resulted in the convictions of four men (one of whom died in prison), while "Billy" pocketed a $5 million settlement.
Ralph Cipriano, independent investigative journalist and founder of BigTrial, has extensively chronicled the lies, contradictions, and schemes of former altar boy "Billy" -- a.k.a. Daniel Gallagher -- over the past five years. Last month, Cipriano reported that a key detective in the case, Joe Walsh, filed an affidavit in the Philadelphia Common Pleas Court outlining Gallagher's deception. When Walsh pressed Gallagher on whether his stories of "brutal anal rapes, death threats, (and) getting tied up naked with altar sashes" were true, Walsh wrote that Gallagher admitted he "just made up stuff and told them anything."
More damning, Cipriano reported, Walsh had "repeatedly informed the prosecutor in the case, former Assistant District Attorney Mariana Sorensen, that Gallagher wasn't a credible witness. Walsh also informed Sorensen that there was no evidence that backed up Gallagher's fantastic stories, and that the evidence gathered by Walsh actually contradicted Gallagher."
But the DA's office proceeded with the prosecutions, anyway. And Rolling Stone has never bothered to review or update Erdely's article -- or inform readers of the real scandal of yet another fake rape hoax and prosecutorial misconduct.
In 2013, Erdely published another piece of half-baked advocacy journalism on "The Rape of Petty Officer (Rebecca) Blumer: Inside the military's culture of sex abuse, denial and cover-up."
She's a one-trick pony, ain't she?
As Washington Examiner reporter Ashe Schow pointed out, Erdely "apparently made no attempt to contact members of the military involved in investigating the case, instead relying on victim's advocates with no direct knowledge" of Blumer's claims of being "roofied and raped."
Fraternities, religious institutions, the military, and the entire male population have been defamed by a lying liar with a laptop and her "progressive" editors at Democrat donor Jann Wenner's flagship rock music rag. All in service of promoting "rape culture" propaganda at any cost.
Too few journalists are willing to challenge the corruption of the criminal justice system in their backyards. Politicized police departments and pro-prosecution courts have failed to uphold the constitutional rights of the accused. The wheels of justice grind far too slowly for the falsely defamed and falsely convicted, fighting for their reputations or for their lives behind bars.
Juries need to send louder messages and impose strong deterrents against rape fakers and their propagandists. Make them pay. Big time.
