Lifestyles of the Philistines!
Please, reader, I plead with you. Find yourself a safe chair before reading this.
It took me time to grasp the significance of what could have been a minor event in the scheme of things.
The defenestration of Jeffrey Toobin has taken the media world by storm. I wondered why, until I realised that he is a quintessential pillar of the journalistic world against US President Donald Trump. Such apparatchiks are known as “Never Trumps”.
His portrait says more than a thousand words. Toobin is listed in one of his biographies as chief
legal analyst at the New York Cable News Network (CNN).
In another introduction, his editor says that in addition to his job at CNN, Toobin is a staff writer at the New Yorker Magazine, the quintessential yappy glossy magazine. More importantly, Toobin comes with an impeccable repertoire as former US assistant attorney, Harvard University graduate and recently the author of two anti-Trump books, the latest of which is: The True Crimes and Misdemeanors of Donald Trump.
Here is a man who is a true representative of the global class, the elites of Washington, DC. He looks like one, walks like one, speaks as if he has thrown a bunch of grapes in his mouth, an idiosyncrasy of the elites. Zimbabweans call that the nose brigades.
CNN and the New Yorker, among other elite media groups, are to a man anti-Trump. So in his two books, despite his reputation as an investigative reporter, he made up crimes against Trump, namely that Trump was a Russian spy, a crime punishable by death.
These crimes were investigated by Robert Mueller and 40 cutthroat attorneys and found to be without foundation whatever. We know now that the accusations were first created by Hillary Clinton in order to distract attention from her political problems. But the global elites, like Toobin, remained faithful to their call, which was to overthrow Trump from office by any means necessary.
Toobin’s story is important because, in order to convince the world of their cause, they took a high moral road; to them, Trump was a sexist, a racist and a Russian spy, a totally depraved man unfit for the office of dog catcher.
In doing this, they created new rules, putting aside the statute of limitations, and creating a new rule that whenever a woman complains of molestation by a man, the woman, no matter her character, must be believed.
These subjects are dealt with in Toobin’s books.
Trump once lived in their world, the world of anomie (lawlessness) and having left that world to seek high office, Toobin and his coterie are now breathing fire — Cathar
go delanda-est (Carthage must be destroyed — Latin).
So, last week, we had a peek view of this globalist’s inner life, and the world he wishes to impose on us poor humans.
At this point, the reader will have a clear picture of a man of the world, a globalist, earning a six-figure income, married with a family in New York. He sure has some credibility. He is progressive and, as he himself wishes to be known, is on the right side of history.
Yesterday, October 19, this Toobin was walking on water. His book was supposed to be on the
New York Times best-seller list. As was his habit, he was discussing serious Trump issues with his colleagues, legends in themselves. Andrew Maratnz and Marsha Gessen have been mentioned.
Maratnz and Gessen are icons in the print world.
They were communicating by
Zoom, so each participant could visualise what the other was doing.
While at this Zoom meeting, Toobin switched telephones to accept a sex-telephone from a distance partner, then, according to our report, “whipped out” his private male part and began to do sex-actualisation.
The Zoom participants were still connected to the video-call and were witnesses to Toobin’s shenanigans.
Here is his defence. “I made an embarrassingly stupid mistake, believing I was off camera. I apologise to my wife, family, friends and co-workers. I thought I had muted the Zoom video. I thought no one was in the room to see me.”
In his book, Toobin says conservative judges appointed to the US Supreme Court are unworthy. “Forty percent of the Republican appointees have been credibly accused of sexual misconduct.”
The latest judge, nominated by Trump, is Amy Barrett, who lived in a holy Community of Praise while attending law school. Toobin obviously condemns her as well.
Toobin was one of these New York elites who amplified false accusations against Judge Brett Kavanaugh last year. The accusation were based on loose memory of Blasey Ford, a woman with mental issues of her own, who could not remember where, when, and at whose house Kavanaugh, at the age of 18, was supposed to have committed sexual acts.
So, judging by Toobin’s own behaviour, one shudders at the global world in which this man wants our children to live in. His world
is totally depraved and yet he has power to change the direction of our lives.
This explains the hatred of these elites by Trump’s supporters.
The racial divide
I was referred to a pastoral letter by African American Catholic Bishop Edward Braxton, Doctor of Sacred Theology, (STD) of Illinois on the issue. Braxton narrates two events in which, even though he was wearing a clerical collar, driving a car with a piece of furniture in the open trunk, he was stopped by police, who told him point-blank not to wander in neighbourhoods where he does not belong.
Braxton believes that while there are racial mixtures at places of employment, living quarters and churches are still racially and economically divided. Therefore, the separate communities do not have the same conversations.
Further, while there is evidence that bias and prejudice influence attitudes and actions, black offenders are treated with less respect than white offenders.
The key to understanding the issue is that only 5% of white police officers agree that there is bias in the police forces.
That is the connection between the Trump administration and the #BlackLivesMatter. The majority of white people have positive experiences with police officers. Though video images have exposed police brutality, still, the majority of whites believe the incidents are the exceptions rather than the rule.
