Sipsey Street Irregulars: "Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead," and the Washington Post is still not covering Grassley's slap-down of Eric Holder.

"Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead," and the Washington Post is still not covering Grassley's slap-down of Eric Holder.

Remember this television classic?

Thereafter, it became a running SNL headline: "Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead."

In view of the inability of Pravda's James Grimaldi to cover the latest turn in the Project Gunwalker Scandal (which by the way includes documents -- you know, evidence? -- which is what he claimed he was waiting on), I'm thinking of starting a new service here at Sipsey Street: every day I shall announce with a straight face: "The Washington Post is still dead."

The Washington Post: Ignoring inconvenient stories during Democrat administrations since 1877.

Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer reads the "Nation's capitol 'paper of record'": Hmm. Still nothing in the Post about the Gunwalker documents. Good. Very good. I must send Grimaldi over some caviar.

Fat n Baldy said...: It seems like the takeover of the lame stream media occurred a long time ago.

Following up some Youtube links posted at WRSA and by Garden Serf, I checked out the Wikipedia entries about Malcolm Muggeridge.

Muggeridge was the British Journalist in Moscow, for the Manchester Guardian.

Muggeridges background was impeccable - a life long Fabian socialist, son of a labour councillor and founder member of the Fabian society, and married to the younger sister of another founding member of the Fabians, Beatrice Webb.

He left the useful idiot reservation and travelled to the Ukraine in the 1920s, without permission, in order to investigate rumours of famine.

He sent his reports to Britain in the diplomatic bags to avoid seizure, and found the newspapers unwilling to publish.

Walter Duranty, meanwhile, received a Pulitzer for his sugar coated, lying, propaganda.

The refusal of the lame stream media to pick up on Gunwalker is (for me) at least as big a story as gunwalker itself.

I knew that they were biased, but you are demonstrating here, and for all of us to see, just how absolutely corrupted they really are.

Keep up the good work

Anonymous said...: They want this to happen because they are not square players. They are Marxists and only the Marxist way will be good enough for them.

They will take Marxist-lite but they really prefer the whole program and all the trappings.

In private company, I wouldn't be surprised if they do address each other as "comrade."; February 14, 2011 at 2:27 PM

But you go get 'em, Mikey! You and your 11 buddies here. Save the Constitution from the other 299,999,988 of us. Hell, some of you all are probably large enough to count as two bodies, so you're almost down into the 299,999,970s!; February 14, 2011 at 9:39 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
