McCain Wasn't "Mistreated"

The lamestream media told you:

In a story unrelated to the House vote on waterboarding, Jim Davenport writing for the AP reports that presidential candidate John McCain "suffered mistreatment" as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

John McCain was sadistically tortured during his 5-1/2 years as a Vietnamese prisoner. His own published account reveals brutal day-long beatings, being kicked, scratched and bounced around in a concrete room, drugging, broken limbs and ribs, rifle butting, bayoneting in his foot, two years of solitary confinement and more.

The AP stands by its "mistreatment" characterization, and that waterboarding is torture and un-American. No one has been charged in the news media's mistreatment of the language or deception of the public. Yet.

The Ramadan Diet

The lamestream media told you:
Muslims worldwide followed the phases of the moon closely to determine the start and finish of Ramadan last month, the holiest time in all of Islam. Followers fast from sun up to sun down in pious reflection of their religious beliefs.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
Muslim observers wonder why, with all-day fasting for an entire month, many followers find they gain weight during the holy month. It's because, having fasted all day, they party and gorge themselves after sunset, sometimes until dawn, according to Homa Khaleeli, in the Johannesburg Mail & Guardian.

Khaleeli calls it, "a meal that would put a rugby-club curry night to shame," and "most of us learn how much food we can stuff into our mouths the second the sun goes down. Gorging on sweets, chocolate, and anything else you can find is hardly the most spiritual way to end a day."

The wild indulgences in food, smoking and revelry during the evening hours got little attention in the lamestream press, apparently distracted by the sanctity of the fasting half of the holiday. Attention to the debauched side of the holiday might also be offensive if it were put into print.

Hate Crimes Blossom

The lamestream media told you:
Hate crimes are increasing at an alarming rate nationwide, according to the Associated Press in a report carried by most major lamestream news outlets.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
Authorities nationwide are classifying an increasing amount of criminal activity as "hate crimes," a recently invented category of offense.

Basically, hate crime is a type of "thought crime," where a defendant's attitudes are somehow determined by authorities, to either charge that a crime has been committed, or to increase the penalty for an otherwise plain crime like armed robbery, aggravated assault, rape or murder.

Proposed in George Orwell's novel "1984," thought crime was believed to be the scary but impossible creation of a novelist. The increasing number of hate crimes being charged challenges that assumption and has alarmed right-wing alarmists.

Left-wing "civil-rights advocates" however generally support the policies, claiming their side is the victim of bad mental attitudes more often than others. Hate crimes are frequently charged in cases involving sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, sexual perversion, disability, race, ethnicity, nationality, weight, height and age, supporting their claim.

Wikipedia says hate crime is "relatively new." It then attempts to trace it back to treatment of Indians in America in the 16th Century, in what appears to be an effort to clothe the newish concept in legitimacy, and downplay its nature as a new tool of "thought police," also predicted in Orwell's novel.

The term may have been first introduced by the Justice Dept. in 1985, when it announced it was compiling "hate-crime statistics." According to the infoplease website, "The media picked up on the term and quickly began to write about an epidemic before these statistics had even been gathered."

The media reported this week that hate crimes are increasing at an alarming rate, without question. The idea that a serious crime is less of a crime because you were thinking the approved way disturbs many observers.

Intelligence Levels Vary

The lamestream media told you:
Dr. James Watson, who co-discovered the structure of DNA in 1962 1953 [See "Corrections: Small Arms, the Gun Lobby, and DNA"], retired under controversy after questioning the intelligence of Blacks and Africans in general. He expressed concern about Africa because, "all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours, whereas all the testing says not really." Saying he hopes everyone is equal, "people who have to deal with Black employees finds this is not quite true." His remarks have been denounced as racist propaganda, personal prejudice, vicious and unsupported, and he was forced to apologize.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
Causing confusion in "news" outlets everywhere, another prominent scientist has challenged the widely promoted but obviously false presumption that people are all perfectly equal and that intelligence is distributed perfectly equally across the planet.

Although Nobel-prize winner James Watson referred to test results in making his statement, no "news" outlets reported on the tests, preferring to simply spew bile phrases like racist propaganda, personal prejudice, vicious and unsupported.

America, in a 200-year-old gound-breaking policy that had set it apart from all other nations, endeavored to treat all people equally under the law, even though people are individuals and never perfectly equal in any physical way. The nation continues to struggle toward that elusive goal.

In other news, racially sensitive multiculturalists are calling for an investigation into the lack of diversity on the defensive line of NFL football teams. Noting a distinct lack of Japanese players, and a ratio of black-to-white players that does not reflect the diversity of the community, a congressional investigation is being sought. Congress could not be immediately reached for a response.

Oscar Ratings Low

The lamestream media told you:
Oscar ratings continue to slide, as competition for viewer time, reduction of exclusive star status from the golden Bogie/Bacall days, non-stop overexposure of every minor scantily clad trollop, a numbing glut of awards shows and instant idol status for wannabees continue to tarnish Oscar's image.

This year's audience was up by a slight 0.004, even though the number of TV sets in U.S. homes grew.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
Unmentioned in lamestream reports on the slipping ratings for the Academy Awards are the real reasons so many Americans no longer idolize Hollywood:

Hopelessly debauched and depraved films of mindless violence that depend more on effects and camera work than scripts and acting; hopelessly one-sided manipulative propaganda videos nominated and winning as documentaries years in a row (Michael Moore and now Al Gore); and hosting this year by a person who makes a mockery of American values, the American family, cares more for green Hollywood multiculti-isms than red-blooded JohnWayne-isms, and is considered by tens of millions of citizens a borderline degenerate, Ellen DeGeneris (I know I'm going to take heat for calling her "borderline").

Don't Say Queer

The lamestream media told you:
Republican Mark Foley is a very bad man and a reason for the defeat of the Republican Party at the polls in November. Even though his badness was known for a long time, no action was taken against him. Democrats generally support gayness and Republicans generally do not, though both parties have some.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
As near as is known, Mark Foley, an acknowledged homosexual member of Congress, has been found guilty of writing words that are not approved of, but has committed no conduct that would be considered against the law, with underage male pages serving in Congress.

The consequences for using unapproved “salacious” words will appear in the Uninvited Ombudsman’s next book, his 11th, on the limits of free speech, currently entitled, “Bomb Jokes for Airports.”

The Wash., D.C.-based National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association's guide to language for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community advocates against using the word “homosexual” to describe homosexuals, preferring the terms gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender, or simply GLBT. Older terms such as “fag” and “queer” are on the hate list and should never be used, the guide says.

Homosexuals may call each other fags and queers though, following the same hypocritical rules governing the “N” word for black and somewhat black people. Under these duplicitous guidelines, if you are a member of a group, you can use words that, if used by a non-member, constitute a hate crime. (NLGJA says gays have "reclaimed" these words as "self-affirming umbrella terms" but they remain "extremely offensive" for others to use.)

Isaac Asimov’s classic science fiction novels from the 1950s and 1960s often speak of things seeming queer, in the normal meaning of that word. Modern writers though have totally abandoned the word due to pressure from GLBTs (sometimes pronounced “gullbutts”).

The classic Christmas song "Deck The Halls" includes, “Don we now our gay apparel,” and the Flintstones theme says, "We'll have a gay old time," and are sung with gay abandon, though how much longer this may be acceptable is uncertain. No new material using gay or queer were known to be in the works at press time.

While the First Amendment says “Congress shall make no law,” regarding free speech, social engineers operating under political correctness have no such restriction. Some observers believe social pressure to be a far more pernicious and overarching set of rules than anything Congress can devise.

More than 400 things you’re not allowed to say are currently in the draft for “Bomb Jokes for Airports.” The book is expected out in 2007, but sometimes these things take longer than you expect.

Nearly every day, newspapers have stories about people in trouble somewhere for saying something. Look for it, it’s there.

Enigma Freezes Emails

A story detailing charges of racism against Texas gubernatorial candidate Kinky Friedman (see "Kinky Angers Blacks") used the so-called "n-word" that sounds like enigma. It turns out many email systems screen every word you receive, and block entire messages if they contain even one black-listed word, which the enigma word apparently is. Many regular Page Nine readers were therefore denied edition 15, and I apologize for my niggling ignorant oversight. I thought I was being clever, using the word "in quotes," which Afro-Americans use on cable TV constantly, but which the lamestream media carefully skirts. The story is available here.

Democratic Racist Enigma

The lamestream media told you:
"Democratic Senate challenger Jim Webb declined to say definitively Tuesday whether he had ever used a common derogatory term to describe Blacks," writes David Espo for the Associated Press on 9/27.

In his defense, Webb said he believed everyone who grew up in the South had probably "had the word pass through their lips," ducking a definitive response, according to the reporter. Webb's novel, Fields of Fire, uses the word that sounds like "enigma" as part of a character dialog, but he adds, "I have never issued a racial or ethnic slur."

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
Stunned observers are still recovering from the idea that someone from America's south might not have ever used the word that is similar to the nation of Niger, or that a politician would actually say he had never used an ethnic slur, even after including it in a novel.

"Politicians lie all the time, it's their job, and the public knows this of course," said one high ranking official  who is not a member of the Congressional Black Caucus. "But the hypocrisy now growing in news reports about use of the word that sounds like enigma is just beyond the pale." Reporters will stop at nothing to invent controversy and promote meaningless attacks for political hacks, he said.

High profile race mongers like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are frequently found calling White people racists, for knowing, even without using, the word that is similar to the nation of Niger. Meanwhile, in a quiet controversy omitted from lamestream reports, blackish American comics and entertainers on cable TV call themselves and each other enigmas constantly.

Here's a Politically Corrected definition of "racism":

Racism. n. A false charge of devastating power, that can be brought against a person without cause, especially when no real charges are available, to gain advantage in a debate.  See also, Political Correctness.

The full Politically Corrected Glossary is here.

Kinky Angers Blacks

The lamestream media told you:
Entertainer and Texas gubernatorial hopeful Kinky Friedman is in hot water for using the word "nigger," twice in a comedy routine -- 26 years ago. A recording of the bit was found and posted on Burnt Orange Report, a left-wing website. News reports, afraid of appearing insensitive or worse, and uncomfortable with the American concept of free speech, referred to the remark as the "n-word."

In addition, last year Friedman said he thinks the word Negro sounds "charming." State representative Garnet Coleman, former chairman of the Texas Legislative Black Caucus, has attacked Friedman in the press and suggested he "change his tune or get out of the race," according to Kelley Shannon, reporting for the Associated Press on 9/22/06.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
Representatives from the United Negro College Fund have remained surprisingly quiet about this particular White person's "charming" remark.

Observers were surprised that a member of the Texas Legislative Black Caucus, a race-based group, would make insensitive racial comments about a person reported to be White, or mostly White. Reportedly, some members of the Black Caucus are actually mulatto, an issue that cannot be discussed in public.

In an extreme hypocrisy noticed by many but not reported by any lamestream outlet, the cable music channel MTV, watched by millions of music-oriented youth, uses the harsh-sounding racial epithet "nigger" in music, comedy routines and drama, but receives little criticism from people such as those attacking Mr. Friedman.

While Kinky used the word twice in a routine two-and-a-half decades ago, MTV airs the word constantly, daily. Cable TV giants HBO and Showtime also air the word "nigger" in comedy programs all the time, typically by people talking about themselves or their associates.

In other news, the cigar-chomping Friedman says he would, if elected, immediately put 10,000 National Guard troops on the Texas-Mexico border to stop a tidal wave of illegal immigrants from sneaking into the U.S. "We've waited 153 years for the feds to help us, and they haven't yet," he said.

Running as an independent, he has also taken the radical position that Katrina evacuees who break the law or haven't taken jobs should be sent back to Louisiana, a position Louisiana reportedly doesn't like. Republican Governor Perry's spokesman dismissed Friedman's proposals.

Racial Strengths Ignored

The lamestream media told you:
Mexican-Americans are at an increased risk of a second stroke, according to a study of thousands of stroke patients, reports the "Annals of Neurology." Lead researcher Lynda Lisabeth of the U. of Michigan School of Public Health suggests aggressive preventative treatment for the susceptible group, to help save lives.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
Despite constant, repeatable and undeniable evidence of important differences between the races, discussion of the differences is taboo and banned from lamestream news reports, with the sole exception of medical risks. The numbers of people harmed by the policy is unknown.

Blacks are susceptible to sickle-cell anemia, whites have higher incidence of melanoma, Alzheimer's and heart disease, and some Native American tribes suffer high rates of diabetes. A long list of race-dependent maladies is widely known throughout the medical community, and frequently reported in the "news."

Regardless, other glaringly obvious racial differences are ignored or quickly denounced as racism, preventing any meaningful discussion of the subject in public policy debates.

Experts blame the ignorance-perpetuating effects of both political correctness and multiculturalism for any meaningful examination of diverse advantages races have in strength, speed, endurance, size, resistance to maladies, and most of all, intelligence.

The white ruling class in America has repressed blacks so badly that most people with even a trace of black blood feel compelled to identify themselves strictly as black, and overlook any advantages of mixed heritage they may possess. The word "mulatto," commonly used for decades to refer to a person of mixed heritage, and which might help explore advantages of diversity in the population, has fallen out of favor and has been all but banished from "news" reports nationwide.

Absolute or monolithic classifications such as "black" or "white," which are patently inaccurate but not considered offensive, are now used exclusively instead. The effect this has on the quality or safety of medical care is unknown.

The online Urban Dictionary defines mulatto as "half black, half white," and gives actress Halle Berry as an example. The Merriam Webster's defines the word as, 1 : the first-generation offspring of a black person and a white person, and 2 : a person of mixed white and black ancestry. Bringing any of this up in public tends to lead to intolerance and charges of racism or worse.
