“We don’t do the little things to avoid messes. We do the little things to get into messes.” –TED Talk
My last post left a few questions: what qualifies as doing something
right? If you’re on the wrong side of the law, you’ve done something
wrong, haven’t you? Isn’t this just a big excuse for self-righteous
foolhardiness?
The real reasons people ask these questions are because the lines are
getting blurred between the law and justice. As Bastiat said it, in the
minds of the people, there is no difference between law and justice.
They mean the same thing for most. So when a ten-year-old boy tries to
offer life-saving water to a starving woman’s lips and is arrested and
sentenced to a written apology and community service for his crime of
trespassing on the premises of a hospice, things get confusing.
My dad recently announced that another young man with a similar charge and record will be speaking at our For Action
conference in January. James O’Keefe gets plenty of attack every day
from people who doubt his integrity in his attempts to expose
corruption.
There are plenty of people who don’t know the real story, and hate
James when they should support his efforts. A guy with a camera should
be rallied behind, as this child and this young man proved when they happened to run into bad cops.
My
point here isn’t to dispel myths. I tell the story as it happened and
people wonder why it’s such a big deal. Some guys tried to do an
undercover film shoot and got in big trouble for, well, standing there
in odd costumes. Read James’ book
and, stay with me here, I’m not asking you to believe it. I’m just
asking that you read his story before believing what’s written in top
YouTube comments and tweets.
NJO: Title, video and blurb from James O'Keefe's YouTube channel VeritasVisuals.
Published on Aug 26, 2013
Project Veritas confronts former US
Attorney Jim Letten at Tulane University, where he is now employed as a
dean at the law school
Letten resigned in disgrace when his
office was found attempting to manipulate open trials by disparaging the
reputation of defendants on online public forums
There is reason
to believe the US Department Of Justice pressured Letten's office back
in 2010 to prosecute O'Keefe. After the incident in Sen. Landrieu's
office, in which videographers sought to ascertain whether constituent
phone calls were being answered, Letten recused from the case, only to
pass it to associates within the office that even included Sen.
Landreiu's brother.
When confronted, Letten only came out of his
office after contacting various members of law enforcement. He then
proceeded to swear at our reporters, created fictional crimes, made
false statements in front of police, and even committed a minor assault.
He acted with complete impunity, as the police officers patiently
waited in silence until the conclusion of his tirade, only to then
detain our reporters under another fictional pretense.
Our
videographers decided to take the message of "truth to power" to
journalism outfits across the NYC metro area -- asking them to accept a
copy of Breakthrough and to participate in the practice of releasing
full raw tapes with all of their investigations.
A special
appearance is made by our great friend Gavin McIness, Fox News
contributor and founder of Vice, who more than anyone understands the
problems facing our lapdog media.

NJO: It's only prudent to note that Gavin McInnes (cheap bastard typing the blurb couldn't be bothered to spell his name right) is a regular contributor to the far-right, openly racist magazine website TakiMag.com, having written 168 articles for it by my count on August 29th 2013.
That's to say nothing of the first seven minutes ten seconds. Except: Holy shit, this child can whine! Greets worse than a wee bairn, as we might say in Scotland. And what is he even whining about, really, when it comes down to it? That, what, there was this proposed bill to bring healthcare affordability to millions of people, save lives and all that jazz, and seeing how he and his buddies are Good Christians and all, they naturally felt it was their Christian duty to try to hinder this in some way, even if it was just a perfunctory "keeping up appearances for Jesus" token effort, and so he and his Real True Good Christian buddies went and planned some bullshit sting operation against Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) who was in support of the legislation, but then in the execution of said sting things went balls-up, and they got arrested for it, and then for some reason he had all these beastly people paying attention to him and hating on him for doing these bullshit sting things --- exactly like what happened to Jesus! --- and he had to do community service, and... and the bill passed anyway, and the millions of people ended up getting their fucking healthcare, and up in heaven Jesus (the real one, not the wussified one that those fag hippies in Boston presumably believed in, haw!) wept a little bit and sent James a head-message saying "Son, what matters is U Tried", and then three years eight months after doing the thing James still hadn't learned anything or grown as a person, hence the interminable amount of whining and tantrum-throwing like some sort of lumbering toddler-man, a product of apparently really flaky parents who apparently never taught their child how to behave?

Norway. Majestic fjords. Tasty fish soup. The weather constantly
changes but all the towns look the same. Monocultural. Egalitarian.
Secular. Expensive.
ABC News goes undercover.. Into the Boy Scouts?! Journalism is beyond dead. This is sick.
