Kim Foxx, Jussie Smollett, and the Democrats' belief in narrative-based politics

Cook County state's attorney Kim Foxx inadvertently gave away the game — what's really behind the bizarre dropping of charges and sealing of court records of the slam-dunk case put together by Chicago police on Jussie Smollett's fake hate crime report — when she explained to two reporters for Chicago public radio station WBEZ in an interview:

I don't believe it is in the interest of the people of Cook County to engage in a narrative that is anything other than all of us working collectively for the public safety of the people of Cook County.

The dominant factions of the Democrats now believe that truth and facts matter not at all if a convincing narrative can be constructed and sold to the public. With a near monopoly on mass media and entertainment, fantasies can be sold to the public, and a critical mass can be persuaded to embrace the fiction. Postmodernism, the pernicious doctrine that there is no truth, only narratives, has moved beyond the campus into the power structure of the Left. The Democrats dominate Hollywood, and now Hollywood — the world capital of creating and selling fictional narratives (and the world in which Jussie Smollett lives) — dominates the Democrats, or at least the rising new-guard social justice warrior forces that are rapidly taking over the party.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is also creating the false narrative. Emanuel is disgracefully blaming President Trump for the phony "hate crime" attack that was intended to incriminate his supporters, and by implication himself.

“The ends justify the means”

You can lie, cheat, steal, kill — do whatever it takes as long as you push the narrative that you are the Good Guys and you are doing it all “for the children”.

"I skipped law class the day they taught penalizing multiple felonies. I was getting my nails done."

Chicago columnists blasted Kim Foxx's decision to drop the 16 felony counts against hoaxer Smollett. Chicago police union called for a federal investigation into Kim Foxx’s handling of the case.....her sub rosa actions on the Smollett family’s behalf after she was contacted by Tina Tchen, Michelle Obama's onetime aide. “Amateur hour is over.” ....this is nothing new for Kim Foxx. We’ve been complaining about her for two years on so many levels. Her office is just completely out of control.”

Equally reprehensible are the idiots at Southern Illinois University School of Law who gave her a law degree.
And those at Southern Illinois University Carbondale who let her out.

More than anything this entire story reminds me of Kurt Vonnegut’s description of the “Money River”. About how folks born on the money river are taught at a very early age to sip quietly lest the hoipaloi hear you quaffing gregariously and learn of the location of The Money River. Those who don’t learn the lesson find themselves cut off and they just move the Money River and don’t tell you where it now is.

The idea that Foxx will go to jail is far fetched. Although I hope she does.

But the truth is this incident just add to the fact that Democrats are scum. They (Soros and MOBama)  think they can bribe and buy their way out of trouble.

Friend of the Kenyanesian Usurper.
Best “get out of jail free” card ever.

[CatOwner]

They (Soros and MOBama) think know they can bribe and buy their way out of trouble and no will be charged.

That has been the case since acolytes of Alinsky took over the party.

A black female, that received a law degree, knows the Obamas' and is "down for the struggle"? No way anything will happen. It will all be forgotten in a month.

Critical Theory, taken as an intellectual whole, is entirely ludicrous, denying as it does the very foundations of fact. However, it has been a highly effective tool in swaying emotions, which are the foundation of politics, and in the resulting accumulation of political power. It is a luxury of a society wealthy enough to afford the consequences of denial of reality until that society isn’t anymore.

I am seriously tired from all of this. It is draining the energy away from the country. I almost feel like I have an obligation to beat the snot out of a liberal and say it was because he was a sniveling little snot.

Apparently the mods thought so too.

Kim Foxx, Jussie Smollett, and the Democrats’ belief in narrative-based politics:

Today’s liberals, both elites and pond scum liberals will handle the Smollett Fake Hate Crime and Frau Mueller’s not guilty verdict like the Japanese soldier who refused to surrender after World War Two ended.

He spent 29 years in the jungle after the war was over.

Hiroo Onoda remained in the jungle on Lubang Island near Luzon, in the Philippines, until 1974 because he did not believe that the war had ended.

He was finally persuaded to emerge after his ageing former commanding officer was flown in to see him.

Correspondents say he was greeted as a hero on his return to Japan.

As WW2 neared its end, Mr Onoda, then a lieutenant, became cut off on Lubang as US troops came north.

The young soldier had orders not to surrender - a command he obeyed for nearly three decades.

“Every Japanese soldier was prepared for death, but as an intelligence officer I was ordered to conduct guerrilla warfare and not to die,” he told ABC in an interview in 2010.

“I became an officer and I received an order. If I could not carry it out, I would feel shame. I am very competitive,” he added.

Our liberals are incapable of accepting any reality when it is about President Trump and Fake Hate Crimes.

I hope Fring the homo hoaxer was worth spending some time in The Slammer for herself.

I admit I have made similar comparisons between Michelle the Wookie and certain simians in the past. I don’t think those got pulled, but I guess since G.W. Bush comparisons were so rampant at one point, maybe some folks rise to the level of public figure where ridicule like that is acceptable???

Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx cut a deal with the Cop killer which permitted him to be out on probation when he killed Chicago police officer Rivera. “According to the deal, he would plead guilty to all charges in the first incident. In the second incident, prosecutors would throw out the home invasion and all weapons charges, then the state would reduce the remaining burglary count to “attempted burglary,” and Jackson would plead guilty in exchange for probation.” http://www.cwbchicago.com/2019/03/judge-released-accused-cop-killer-from.html

Let us not forget those Freepers who tirelessly attack citizen journalists and people who read their works in their effort to maintain the corporate media dominance.

Hi mumbles. Since there is an article which touches on your work, I pinged you.

No need to thank me, you're welcome.

No need to deny the accuracy of my post either, we all read the attacks you post against alternative media.

And while there is no need to post something obscene, you probably will, because you usually do.
