CHICAGO TYPEWRITER Episode 12: Back to Life
GO MONSTER GO Episode 8: It’s Coming From the Trunk
This marks the final episode of the first book of Chicago Typewriter. But thanks to the Arktoons subscribers, the story will continue, the second book is already being illustrated and the new episodes will appear on the site once they have been colored and lettered. In my opinion, the new art is even better; the image below is from the work-in-progress.
Specifically, he observes the way it was applied to try to discredit Tucker Carlson:
On Monday, June 28th, Fox host Tucker Carlson dropped a bomb mid-show, announcing he’d been approached by a “whistleblower” who told him he was being spied on by the NSA.
“The National Security Agency is monitoring our electronic communications,” he said, “and is planning to leak them in an attempt to take this show off the air.”
The reaction was swift, mocking, and ferocious. “Carlson is sounding more and more like InfoWars host and notorious conspiracy theorist, Alex Jones,” chirped CNN media analyst Brian Stelter. Vox ripped Carlson as a “serial fabulist” whose claims were “evidence-free.” The Washington Post quipped that “in a testament to just how far the credibility of Tucker Carlson Tonight has cratered,” even groups like Pen America and the Reporters Committee on the Freedom of the Press were no-commenting the story, while CNN learned from its always-reliable “people familiar with the matter” that even Carlson’s bosses at Fox didn’t believe him.
None of this was surprising. A lot of media people despise Carlson. He may be Exhibit A in the n+2 epithet phenomenon that became standard math in the Trump era, i.e. if you thought he was an “asshole” in 2015 you jumped after Charlottesville straight past racist to white supremacist, and stayed there. He’s spoken of in newsrooms in hushed tones, like a mythical monster. The paranoid rumor that he’s running for president (he’s not) comes almost entirely from a handful of editors and producers who’ve convinced themselves it’s true, half out of anxiety and half subconscious desperation to find a click-generating replacement for Donald Trump.
The NSA story took a turn on the morning of July 7th last week, when Carlson went on Maria Bartiromo’s program. He said that it would shortly come out that the NSA “leaked the contents of my email to journalists,” claiming he knew this because one of them called him for comment. On cue, hours later, a piece came out in Axios, “Scoop: Tucker Carlson sought Putin interview at time of spying claim.”
In a flash, the gloating and non-denial denials that littered early coverage of this story (like the NSA’s meaningless insistence that Carlson was not a “target” of surveillance) dried up. They were instantly replaced by new, more tortured rhetoric, exemplified by an amazingly loathsome interview conducted by former Bush official Nicolle Wallace on MSNBC. The Wallace panel included rodentine former Robert Mueller team member Andrew Weissman, and another of the networks’ seemingly limitless pool of interchangeable ex-FBI stooge-commentators, Frank Figliuzzi.
Weissman denounced Carlson for sowing “distrust” in the intel community, which he said was “so anti-American.” Wallace, who we recall was MSNBC’s idea of a “crossover” voice to attract a younger demographic, agreed that Carlson had contributed to a “growing chorus of distrust in our country’s intelligence agencies.” Figliuzzi said the playbook of Carlson and the GOP was to “erode the public’s trust in their institutions.” Each made an identical point in the same words minus tiny, nervous variations, as if they were all trying to read the same statement off a moving teleprompter.
As I have said, many times, the only way to be certain something didn’t happen is if it is presented as the mainstream narrative. The one thing you can be absolutely sure of is that the media is attempting to deceive you.
Talk about impervious to dialectic! These people watch a man being carted off to the hospital, twitching and trembling from an obvious adverse reaction, and they just stand in line to take their turn. Remember this the next time you’re having difficulty walking someone through a syllogism.
QUANTUM MORTIS Episode 11: Where’s the Body?
CLASSIC GARRISON Editorial 2: Obama Bull Train
It’s not surprising to see how many of the good responsible conservatives who paid back their student loans are gnashing their teeth over the possibility that someone, somewhere, might be freed from debt-slavery.
But what about me? What about we poor rich kids who never had to borrow so much as a dime to pay for college? Isn’t it even more unfair that we a) had to pay ridiculously inflated prices because all those nasty little poor people were allowed to spend someone else’s money, and, b) we weren’t given any financial aid grants and were forced to pay the full retail price for the mere crime of having lots of money?
All right, I’m exaggerating. We didn’t actually pay for school. Our daddies did. See, that right there, that’s grit, that’s what that is. The Boomers are right. Just stop whining and do what I did. It wasn’t hard at all.
But it’s still unfair! How will WE benefit from a student loan debt jubilee? Why isn’t anyone thinking about ME and MY compensation? I mean, how can I possibly benefit from the housing market not completely collapsing because 45 million of the most educated people in America can’t qualify for a mortgage? What good is it to me if 45 million people suddenly have the ability to save money for the first time in their lives? I mean, it’s not as if savings = investment, or that I is a core component of Gross Domestic Product, right?
Why won’t you shed a tear for me?
A student-debt jubilee is absolutely necessary, it’s just, and it’s fair:
Almost nobody is repaying their student loans
In the 2020 CARES Act, Congress gave student-loan borrowers a temporary break from repaying their loans. President Trump extended that twice and President Biden once, with loan payments now set to resume Oct. 1, 2021.
Borrowers could have kept paying if they wanted to, but almost nobody did. As Tom Lee of the American Action Forum recently explained, the portion of borrowers repaying their student loans dropped from 46% at the beginning of 2020 to 1% today. The portion of borrowers in forbearance rose from 10% to 57%. The rest include borrowers who are still in school, who have gotten deferments or who have defaulted.
Now, I understand there are a lot of college graduates who will whine and complain about how THEY had grit and how THEY worked their way through school and how THEY pulled themselves up by their own bootstraps.
Of course, these retards are all ignoring the rather pertinent fact that average annual college costs have increased 3,819% from 1964 to 2019.
The Cost of College in 1964-65
Neither is Jesus Christ. Ruralcounsel is a Boomer who fears the pillow, but would do better to fear Divine judgement on both him and his wicked generation:
Almost none of them are “sorry my generation let this happen” or even “we did do xyz right which should help.”
Because I’m only responsible for myself, not a generation. So STFU, you witless whining twatwaffle.
It’s nasty “haha well you guys are all going to die in the coming collapse” or “well the millennials and gen z are just as bad as us.”
The first is probably true, and I don’t care about any of you. I’ll be laughing when I see your rotting corpses in the roadside ditch. You deserve it, because you are proving yourselves to be as evil as everyone else. The second is just ridiculous nonsense because judging generations is a idiot’s game.
First, we again see that Boomers reliably reveal themselves to be nasty, disgusting narcissists the moment their generation is criticized. They believe they’re somehow hurting our feelings when they declare “I don’t care about any of you.” But we already knew that, in fact, that very narcissism is one of the primary charges against them. We’ve known they don’t care about anyone else since it became necessary to coin the phrase “latchkey children”. All the Boomer is doing is pleading guilty to the charge without realizing he has done so.
Second, “He does not leave the guilty unpunished; He punishes the children and their children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.” So, four generations of Americans are going to suffer for the sins of the Boomers, three of which are already suffering for them, but the Boomer insists that it is wildly unfair to criticize him for the sins of his generation, even when he committed them himself.
Third, Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation. It asks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.”
The insistence that they are only responsible for themselves is one of the Boomers’ favorite lies, which is bizarre in light of the way in which they simply won’t accept responsibility for their own actions. But the way they cling to the lie explains why they never hesitated to eat the seed corn, why they refused to build a better future for their children and grandchildren, and why they are determined to die as hedonists amidst their toys and pleasures and drugs. Each Boomer believed in his heart that life was always and only about himself.
Reject the Boomer way.
Get married. Stay married. Have more than four children. Support your own. Build for future generations. Plant the acorns that will become mighty oaks for the benefit of your great-grandchildren, even though you will never sit in their shade. Write down your knowledge. Pass on your experience. Pursue that which lasts. Live for the Good, the Beautiful, and the True. And in doing so, you will move on to the next level surrounded by love and gratitude instead of dying like a Boomer, confused, alone, and smothered by an indifferent stranger.
SEASONS Episode 12: Sunflowers
CHUCK DIXON PRESENTS: COMEDY Episode 11: First Day of School
I’m not a Catholic, but I do believe in the importance of respecting tradition. Fake Pope Francis clearly does not:
Pope Francis has today issued a new Motu Proprio restricting the celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass, and declaring that the liturgy of Paul VI, or the Novus Ordo, is the “unique expression of the lex orandi of the Roman Rite.”
The document, entitled “Traditiones Custodes,” issues several restrictions on the celebration of the Latin Mass, with the opening point containing a direct contradiction of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI’s 2007 document Summorum Pontificum. Francis now declares that while Benedict had described an “ordinary” and an “extraordinary” form of the Roman Rite, now there is only one – the Novus Ordo.
“The liturgical books promulgated by Saint Paul VI and Saint John Paul II, in conformity with the decrees of Vatican Council II, are the unique expression of the lex orandi of the Roman Rite.”
Amongst the new restrictions, the Pope affords new power to diocesan bishops, effectively giving them the ability to stamp out centers where the Traditional Mass is being offered.
Describing Latin Mass attendees with the peculiar phrase, “these groups of the faithful,” Francis orders bishops to ensure that no further groups are allowed to grow dioceses. The local bishops are to additionally decide “whether or not to retain” the parishes which are currently offering the Traditional Mass.
The sting is in the final directive in the Pope’s text, in which he appears to abrogate Summorum Pontificum, with the words: “Previous norms, instructions, permissions, and customs that do not conform to the provisions of the present Motu Proprio are abrogated.”
The sad thing is that there are die-hard Catholics who will insist that Mr. Bergoglio is the True Vicar of Christ on Earth even if he were to publicly declare his love for Satan and sodomy in St. Peter’s Square. But he’s a lot closer to a vicar of Antichrist than of Jesus Christ.
