Where Are The Celebrities To Protest Idaho Rancher’s Death-By-Cop?

Nobody will march for the right to life of 62-year-old Idaho rancher Jack Yantis. Certainly not Hollywood director Quentin Tarantino.

Cop brutality is an endemic problem, but so is the immoral, meddlesome and mindless nature of celebrity in America. Do you suppose Tarantino, marching with Black Lives Matter or some proxy thereof, would protest the murder by cop, Sunday Nov. 1, of Mr. Yantis?

The Idaho rancher was shot dead by cops when he appeared on the scene of a car crash adjacent to his farm, involving one of his bulls. The cops were about to put the animal down. You know that the obedient (white) rural community of Adams County, Idaho, will accept the loss of one of theirs and move on.

Benghazi: Breaking News From A Broken News Media

We have breaking news, screeched CNN screech Poppy Harlow. It concerns the House Select Committee’s investigation into Benghazi. The Poppy persona had my full attention (from the kitchen sink). What was it that this illiberal oafette had discovered?

Will we finally get the sods at State to disclose when came the urgent cries for military support, in the course of the Sept. 11, 2012 attack? Would we find out who at the State Department ignored the S.O.S and issued a “Stand down” directive?

Most sentient human beings—that probably excludes liberals vested in covering up for their gal, much as it ruled out, in 2003, Republicans covering for their war criminal guy—wouldn’t mind being in the know.

Wouldn’t you say?

How silly of me to have given Harlot the time of day as a newswoman. No, CNN’s Benghazi breaking news was aimed not to update viewers about an “objective fact-finding mission”; give us information as to that “broad-based probe of the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi on September 11, 2012.”

Rather, what Poppy was “reporting” was but part of the drip-drip, tit-for-tat of partisan politicking.

Oh, the worthy Major Bradley Podliska appears to be looking to launch a lucrative law suit for his troubles. Parasites all.

That’s what goes for “breaking news” courtesy of a broken news media.

Check out Poppy’s astounded, breaking-news expression. In Harlow’s world, this is huge:

Perp Walk U.S. Central Command Leadership

Imagine a large private company that invests half a billion dollars in a training program for a large workforce only to find that the program has failed, and that only 4-5 of those that underwent the training are kind of prepared to do the job they were trained to do. Imagine, further, that the company’s CEO decides not to scrap the program and fire those that dreamt it up—but, rather, to retain the program and merely shift its focus.

The creditors or the shareholders would have a field day in the courts (is it a derivative action that shareholders bring to “redress harm to the corporation caused by management?”) There might even be a perp walk or two.

Via RT:

The US State Department did not have a straight answer for RT’s correspondent when asked about why the program to train and equip ‘moderate’ Syrian rebels had failed, or why it believes the new version that is said to solely equip the rebels would work.

The State Department said the US has dropped the training program and decided to focus on just the equipping part of the plan.

“There is a pause being put in place, while we focus more on the equipping side of those groups that are in Syria now and have proven competent against ISIL [Islamic State, ISIS/ISIL],” State Department spokesperson John Kirby told RT’s Gayane Chichakyan at a Friday briefing. …

These sort of scandals are an every day occurrence. And nothing is done. No one pays. China is known to execute officials for lesser embezzlement.

The US government and military, in this case I think Central Command is responsible, is terribly corrupt. It never has to account for ongoing embezzlement and it makes no pretense about having a fiduciary responsibility to taxpayers.
