The second annual 'Hoax of the Year' award goes to...
American Thinker.com ^ | November 18, 2021 | Eric Utter

Posted on 11/18/2021 2:42:24 AM PST by Kaslin

Last year at this time I noted, “we are living in a time of hoaxes, an era of deceit on an unprecedented scale.” That assertion is, remarkably, even truer this year. Hence, I decided a Second Annual Hoax-of-the-Year Award was logical, even necessary.

Last year, I concluded that: “The remarkably rapid pivot from the Russian Collusion Hoax to the Great Election Hoax of 2020 clearly constitutes the greatest back-to-back hoaxing in recorded history. Therefore, I award them a tie for 2020 Hoax of the Year.” With that in mind, let’s have a look at this year’s hoaxes, shall we?

Incredibly, there was an even richer field of hoaxes to pick from in 2021, and it’s possible I may regret the fact that I have once again decided to declare a winner so early. After all, in this climate, who knows what could happen in the next six weeks? That said, I am confident that no new hoax has time enough to supplant the ones currently considered.

First off, there is the continuing Climate Change Hoax, previously known as the Global Cooling Hoax and later the Global Warming Hoax. Unfortunately for those who are ultra-invested in promulgating the belief that man-caused warming will render the planet uninhabitable in the next decade or two, the Antarctic Ice Sheet grew at a record pace this past year. The climate has always been changing and always will change…with or without us. That is why we have terms like “climate” and “weather.”

Next up is the Critical Race Theory Isn’t Taught in Our Schools Hoax, a relatively recent one, but nonetheless preposterous. CRT is prevalent in our schools, at various levels, and has also infected corporations and media outlets alike.

May be a minor one but Geraldo making out like he’s a Republican might get a spot down low on the list.

Ex-commie Orwell figured out he was fighting for the bad guys during the Spanish Civil War. While I've long noticed our decline I did not believe I'd live to see a Communist Revolution in my lifetime. Only two flaky RAT senators are why the enemy has not sealed the steal.

HOAX OF THE MILLENIUM: Kamala being foisted on America as VP

Kamala went to France to offer the world these insights:

“We must together. Work together. To see where we are. Where we are headed, where we are going
our vision for where we should be. But also see it as a moment to, yes. Together, address the
challenges and to work on the opportunities that are presented by this moment.” (nypost.com)

As for the outcome in Paris, Harris summed it up eloquently, "We have a lot of follow-up stuff."

I always wake up early. It’s habit from the time when I was still working. I used to work in the Music City Sheraton Hotel. I was one of the people that had to drive the van to pick up the other other co-workers from Clarksville, TN that worked with me. And then I had to drive them back home after work. Those that had cars came to a particular place where they parked their car, like I did when I was not driving the van. But those that did not have a car, or only one car that the husband was using to go to work I had to pick them up from were they lived and bring them back to their home after work. After that I had to pick up my car from where I had parked it.

It was always 9:00 pm when I finally got home. By that time I was to tired to cook and so I just went to bed.

(sorry for the long post.)

U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland denied the Biden FBI is using the very same counter-terrorism tactics currently used to finger drug cartels and foreign terrorists to investigate American parents considered to be potential “domestic terrorists” .........

Then an FBI agent provided a copy of the bureau’s internal email to several Republican lawmakers, WRT collecting information on parents voicing their opposition to local school policies during school board meetings.

He's not a Republican and I have always said it. They have him now in the Rat's space when he is on The Five because this is where he belongs.

No need to apologize for the length of your post! A rambling narrative like yours really helps to break up the monotony and bring a little sunshine into the lives of your fellow FReepers.

Reminds me of when I would have to pick up coworkers to take them to work at the IBM Lab in Centerville. First I had to get up really early, walk to the bus stop, and take a local bus to a nearby village where there was a company van that I would then drive back to my home village to pick up one coworker (who was also a neighbor). Then we drove back to that same nearby village to pick up another coworker. Then we proceeded to another village and picked up a third coworker. Then we continued on towards Centerville and made a final stop to pick up a fourth coworker who lived in Centerville itself. Then we drove to the IBM Lab and I would let everyone out. I would park the van in the giant parking lot of the IBM Lab and then go to my office in the Lab. Then, in the evening, I would leave my office and walk out into the parking lot and sit in the van until the other coworkers all came and boarded it. Then we would drive to Centerville and I would let that one coworker who lived in Centerville out. Then we would drive to that one village and I would let that other coworker out. Then I would drive to that last, nearby village and let the second-to-the-last coworker out. Now, here comes the big surprise: Instead of driving that one, last coworker back to our home village, driving back to the nearby village, parking the van, and then returning to my home village by bus - I'd park the van, and that one coworker and I would proceed home by bus. So the return trip was not the "reverse" or the "mirror image" of the morning run! After arriving home, I'd be kind of tired, so I usually read the daily newspaper (maybe doing the daily crossword puzzle), watched a little t.v. (I always liked the nature films they would broadcast), and then go to bed.

I usually slept on my right side.

Fascinating, huh?

Regards,

I contend that Critical Race Theory itself is a hoax and a scam.
https://database39.com/CriticalRaceTheory.php

Ibrahim Kendi, the Director of the Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University. Kendi is “the” authority on race today in America. It has made him a millionaire. He recently was paid $20,000 for a 1-hour Internet ZOOM session with a Virginia school. Just listen to him explain “racism” and you’ll understand what I mean when I say CRT is a scam — a hustle.
