Project Veritas — Deep State Unmasked: U.S. GAO Auditor Admits “I Break Rules Every Day”
Project Veritas has released the next in a series of undercover reports which unmask the Deep State. This report features a Government Accountability Office (GAO) employee and self-proclaimed Communist actively engaged in potentially illegal political activity. Natarajan Subramanian is a government auditor for the GAO and a member of the Metro DC Democratic Socialists of America (Metro DC DSA). Metro DC DSA is a socialist group that works to advance progressive issues in the Metropolitan DC area. Subramanian’s political activism may directly violate federal statutes as well as the “Yellow Book” rules which apply specifically to government auditors.

Christine Ford’s yearbook was scrubbed off the internet – and for obvious reasons
“And there were always parties to celebrate any occasion. Although
these parties are no doubt unforgettable, they are only a memory lapse
for most, since loss of consciousness is often an integral part of the
party scene.” – Quote From Ford’s High School Yearbook at the time of
her Kavanaugh accusation.
If Christine Ford was Trump’s SCOTUS nominee the #Resistance would be using her yearbook against her, painting her as a privileged white girl whose school was out of control with drinking and racism.
A site called Cult of the 1st Amendment uncovered the hidden yearbook-
“Beach week culminated the year for those of us lucky enough to
go. With school and our minds in temporary recess, we were able to
release all those troubling inhibitions of the past year. While dancing
in the middle of coastal Highway, Ann [redacted last name] and friends
picked up some men who passed out in their apartment…”

I’m starting to think the rumor I heard about Christine Blasey’s high school nickname might indeed be true.

A site called Cult of the 1st Amendment uncovered the hidden yearbook-
Scribe 84 is the yearbook for her senior
year. Her name was Christine Blasey in high school, often referred to as
“Chrissy”. In the image below, Blasey is pictured at a Halloween party
in her junior year. The caption on the right says:
“Lastly one cannot fail to mention
the climax of the junior social scene, the party. Striving to extend our
educational experience beyond the confines of the classroom, we played
such intellectually stimulating games as Quarters, Mexican Dice and
everyone’s favorite, Pass-Out, which usually resulted from the
aforementioned two.”
The Halloween party pictured above would have taken place within sixteen weeks of the alleged assault, which Blasey claims happened in the Summer of ’82, after her sophomore year.
10th grade seems to have been a ritual initiation into the “Holton party scene”.
Another sophomore girl threw multiple all night benders, the highlight of which featured a male erotic dancer in gold g-string.

Muslim Migration and Rape Statistics in Europe
Sweden has one of Europe’s highest rates of sexual assaults.
At 120.79 violent sexual assaults per 100,000 people, and 56 rapes per 100,000, the otherwise bleak socialist country ranks as having the second highest rate of sexual violence in Europe.
What makes Sweden so exceptionally dangerous for women? Its militant feminism is embedded in its political culture and its educational system. Sweden has boasted of a “feminist foreign policy”, 61% of Swedes in one survey identified as feminists and hold the strongest views on “gender equality” of any Europeans. Swedes are the most likely to believe that it’s okay for men to cry. Only 11% believe that women should take care of the home and only 10% believe that it’s a man’s job to support his family
A local branch of the Left Party in Sweden even demanded that men urinate while sitting down.
And then there are the Czechs, just 13% identify as feminists, 77% think that a woman’s place is in the home, yet the sexual assault rate is 7.79 per 100,000, a tiny fraction of feminist Sweden.
If the real issues were feminism and toxic masculinity, if sufficient educational indoctrination about the evils of masculinity is needed to “teach men not to rape”, women should be safest in Sweden.
So what went wrong?
Instead of traveling from Stockholm to Prague, let’s take a closer trip over to neighboring Finland.
Finland has a third of Sweden’s rape rates and a quarter of its sexual assault rates. Its numbers are still far higher than most of Europe, but nowhere near those of Sweden.
What could possibly explain the difference?
Finland is also fairly feminist, but the Muslim proportion of its population is only a third of Sweden. Finland has a third of Sweden’s Muslim population proportion and a third of its rape rate.
Sweden has the second highest non-indigenous Muslim immigration population rate in Europe and the second highest sexual assault rate in Europe. It would be foolish to pretend that this is a coincidence.
Take Ireland and the United Kingdom. The UK tops even Sweden in Europe’s sexual assault and rape statistics. At 130.96 per 100,000 for sexual assaults and 50.68 per 100,000 for rapes, the United Kingdom is the most dangerous place for women in Europe. One analysis claims that 1 in 5 women will be sexually assaulted and that 3.1% of women were assaulted in just the last year.
But then why do the numbers for nearby Ireland look so strikingly different? Like Finland, Ireland’s numbers are high, but nowhere near as high as those in the United Kingdom.
The UK’s sexual assault and rape rates are roughly four times as high as those of Ireland. And at 6.3% versus 1.4%, the difference in Muslim population percentages is in almost perfect proportion.
London, with its great diversity, has the highest rape rate within the United Kingdom.
Finland was once part of Sweden. Ireland was once part of the United Kingdom. Unlike comparing distant countries where differences can be accounted for by a great variety of factors, Finland and Ireland serve as a kind of control group measuring the impact of immigration on Europe.
Belgium, which hosts the capitals of the European Union and of Islamic terrorism, is in third place. At 65.92 sexual assaults and 25.50 rapes per 100,000, women are unsafe in the capital of the EU. Meanwhile Hungary, the country in the news for its clashes with the EU over admitting Muslim migrants, has a sexual assault rate of 2.45 and a rape rate of 3.82.
Belgium has the third highest Muslim population rate and the third highest sexual violence rate.
Brussels has a thousand programs and regulations pushing feminism. Hungary has a wall. The lesson from Sweden and Brussels is that if you want to stop rape, professional feminism doesn’t work, walls do.
At 0.86, Serbia has one of the lowest sexual assault rates in Europe. And at 8.8, France has one of the highest. Eastern European countries, generally not known for their militant feminism, have low rates while the more “progressive” Western European countries suffer from very high rates.
The Netherlands has the fourth highest sexual assault rate in Europe and the fourth highest non-indigenous Muslim population rate. Germany has the sixth highest assault rate and the sixth highest Muslim population rate. Not all the numbers add up so well, but those that do are quite disturbing.
There are European countries with low Muslim population rates, but high sexual assault rates. Portugal, Finland and Latvia are all examples. But there is no European country that has a high Muslim immigrant population and a low rate of sexual violence. All of the top Muslim immigrant countries are in the red.
The differences are sometimes striking when measuring culturally dissimilar neighbors.
Germany sits next door to Poland. Sexual assaults in Germany clock in at 33.55 while in Poland, they’re at 1.40. Muslims make up 6.1% of Germany and less than 0.1% of Poland.
The statistics suggest that the key factor is not necessarily a high Muslim population, but a high Muslim immigrant population. Bulgaria has a sizable Muslim population that has been living there for a very long time. And its sexual violence rates are quite low. It’s particularly immigrant populations coming from societies with a very different set of Islamic mores that lead to epidemics of sexual violence.
European countries with ancient Muslim populations don’t appear to have large sexual assault rates. It’s the countries that admitted large numbers of Muslim migrants in a matter of decades that are suffering.
Islamic doctrines and Arabic cultural mores that permit, explicitly or implicitly, the sexual assault of non-Muslim women who are not dressed properly or walk unaccompanied by a male relative, are pernicious. And Muslims rapists in Europe and Australia have cited belief and culture in their defense. But mass migration is often inherently disruptive, breaking down values and trust in stable communities.
That trust then has to be rebuilt in ways that the media and the entertainment industry frequently reduce to simplistic moralizing tales about trusting people who are different, but that in practice take generations to restore lost social capital.
There can be gains along the way, but any honest accounting must measure the horrifying losses, including these shocking assault rates, against the gains.
Sweden has the second highest non-indigenous Muslim population rate in Europe and the second highest sexual assault rate in Europe. Belgium has the third highest Muslim population rate and the third highest sexual violence rate. The Netherlands has the fourth highest sexual assault rate in Europe and the fourth highest Muslim population rate. Germany has the sixth highest assault rate and the sixth highest Muslim population rate. Are all of these numbers just a random coincidence?
Feminist government policies don’t stop sexual violence. Not when the same feminist governments open the borders to mass migrations from countries where women have no legal or cultural rights.
The more open a European country is to Muslim mass migration, the more dangerous it is to women.

New York Alt-Weekly Publishing Legend The Village Voice Has Been Shut Down
The Village Voice, the legendary New York alt-weekly that launched the careers of scores of writers, has been shut down. https://t.co/jbIr5Llnf2— Vox (@voxdotcom) August 31, 2018
The legendary alternative weekly newspaper The Village Voice has been shut down for good. Co-founded by Norman Mailer in 1955, the Voice went digital only last year in an effort to keep up with changing realities in the newspaper publishing world.
Vox reports that "staffers found out the paper was being shut down" on Friday. The paper's owner -- Peter Barbey -- told the staff that it would no longer be published "due to the business realities." Barbey -- who bought the Voice in 2015 -- also said, "I bought the Village Voice to save it, this isn’t exactly how I thought it was going to end up. I’m still trying to save the Village Voice." His intention is to sell it to someone else which, according to him, couldn't be done until it was shut down.
Although I am a staunch conservative who has spent years writing about liberal media bias, I have always been a fan of the alt-weeklies, especially in big cities. I am also an entertainer, and they tend to be the best sources for entertainment news and profiles of artists.
There's also the fact that alt-weeklies are open about their bias. They aren't pretending to be objective journalists. I have always maintained that I have no problem with reporters who are upfront about their political leanings. It's galling to see MSM journos feign objectivity. I have respect for anyone who doesn't play that game.
Some of the best journalism about local issues that I saw in 20 plus years in Los Angeles happened in the LA Weekly, another alt-weekly that was purchased and gutted (but is still being published).
I am also a huge Norman Mailer fan. I've recently been reading a volume of his essays titled "The Mind of an Outlaw" and marveling at the pre-blog days of long-form political commentary. I almost never agree with anything Mailer had to say about politics but I admire his thinking and writing so much that I don't care. Much of what is in this book was originally published in The Village Voice.
In recent years I would occasionally be drawn to the Voice after getting a Google alert about myself. They would frequently like to complain about conservative bloggers' takes on a certain story:
Stephen Kruiser of PJ Media claimed second sight, intuiting that “the boorish lack of self reflection from the left is already changing some minds. Republicans who didn’t support Trump this year are starting to realize what a bullet the country dodged by not letting the hysteria-mongers cement a foothold in the White House and are beginning to warm up to him before he ever gets in office.” Kruiser did not provide any links to any polls that supported this claim , nor did he even cite the traditional Cab Driver Who Agrees With My Rightwing Sentiments.
I'm going to miss those scamps.

The death of local news
What's the state of local news?
It's a shell of its former self. The weekday circulation of U.S. newspapers has been in steady decline since 1998, when it was 62.7 million. Today their print and digital circulation combined reaches only about 31 million, according to the Pew Research Center. Fewer readers means less subscription revenue, but it's the crash in advertising revenue that's been most painful. Newspapers' ad revenue plummeted from $48 billion in 2000 to $16.5 billion in 2017. Local newspapers that were once community institutions were forced to slash budgets and staff, and many folded entirely. Even in major cities, local news is struggling. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette just cut its print editions from seven days a week to five, and the venerable New York Daily News laid off about half its staff in July, a move the tabloid's corporate parent, Tronc, said was made to "reflect the realities of our business." Newsrooms employ almost 40 percent fewer people than they did in 1994, and "newspaper reporter" was rated "the worst job in America" for four years running, according to CareerCast, which ranks jobs based on factors such as stress, risks, compensation, and opportunity for growth.
What caused local news' decline?
More than anything else, the internet. Older readers continue to buy newspapers, but younger readers who grew up expecting free online content and constantly updated news aren't inclined to pay for a printed product. As readers began defecting to online sources in the early 2000s, Craigslist made paid newspaper classified ads all but obsolete with its mostly free message boards. Classifieds once generated up to 40 percent of newspaper ad revenue, peaking at $19.6 billion in 2000. Revenue from consumer ads, meanwhile, has been gobbled up by the twin behemoths of Google and Facebook, which together accounted for 73 percent of all digital advertising in 2016, according to the Pivotal Research Group. Still another threat comes from niche new-media startups that see opportunity in local newsrooms' vulnerability. Alex Mather, co-founder of the subscription-based sports website The Athletic, told The New York Times his deep-pocketed company plans to poach the best local sports reporters in every city. "We will wait every local paper out and let them continuously bleed until we are the last ones standing," Mather said.
Why didn't local papers adapt?
In many small and midsize cities, multiple generations of the same wealthy family commonly owned the local paper, often treating it as a public service rather than an exclusively for-profit venture. But as the internet began devouring their revenue, many waited too long to react, and the losses became unsustainable. Corporations and venture capitalists began to buy up local news outlets, often treating them as mere short-term investments. One such so-called vulture capitalist, Randall Smith, purchased several major regional papers — including The Denver Post, the San Jose Mercury News, and The Orange County Register — then slashed operations to the bone to maintain profitability. As Jack Shafer wrote in Politico, Smith decided that "more value can be extracted by sucking the marrow" of the papers than by reinvesting in them.
Do we still need local news?
Only if things like schools, taxes, infrastructure, and government accountability matter to you. Where fewer reporters cover local business and government, Margaret Sullivan warned in The Washington Post, "corruption can flourish, taxes can rise, public officials can indulge their worst impulses." When a local newspaper shutters, that same community experiences increased government waste and inefficiency, according to a 2018 report released by the Social Science Research Network. The loss of local reporting also depresses most citizens' engagement in state and local politics, leading to activists dominating the parties and greater political polarization. A 2015 Brookings Institution report found voters are less likely to cast ballots in congressional races that receive little coverage, producing more landslide contests and members of Congress who have less incentive to compromise on Capitol Hill. Conversely, robust coverage of local elections leads to greater voter turnout and more civic engagement.
Can local news be saved?
Only if creative innovations take hold. Some local newspapers have instituted "paywalls" requiring frequent readers to cough up money; digital revenue, however, hasn't made up for the massive loss of print revenue. The nonprofit ProPublica is providing cash grants to help local newsrooms pursue ambitious investigative projects, and its Local Reporting Network will expand in 2019 to support coverage of state governments. Veteran journalist Don Day spent the past year researching potential local news lifesavers and found inspiration from 19th-century industrialist Andrew Carnegie, who gave away most of his fortune late in his life, with a focus on funding public libraries. Day hopes Carnegie's example could serve as a model for wealthy philanthropists who would fund an $8 billion endowment to maintain local news operations in both large towns and smaller rural areas. It may be the only way, Day says, to keep "a working democracy intact."
The Texas Tribune model
Venture capitalist John Thornton wrote in 2009 that journalism that "takes on serious, complex issues and puts them in the context of how citizens interact with their government" should be considered a public good. Thornton recognized that, as with clean air and national defense, market forces would not sufficiently provide for such journalism. So he invested $1 million of his own money and raised over $2 million more to launch the membership-driven nonprofit Texas Tribune. An early adopter of digital-data journalism, the Tribune created a splash with its easily searchable public-record databases, providing the citizenry with access to the kind of information once available only to FOIA-savvy journalists. Prioritizing impact reporting over clicks, the Tribune allows its award-winning stories to be reprinted free of charge in other outlets. This strategy has proved popular with the Tribune's paid membership, who NYU journalism professor Jay Rosen says "don't want a gate around the journalism they're supporting." When you pay to become a member in a journalism nonprofit, Rosen says, you aren't paying for a product — "you join the cause because you believe in the work."
