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 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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Lifson is right on target here. I trace all of this idiocy back to one quote that completely undermines our entire legal system:

"At the heart of liberty is the right to define one's own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life." -- Planned Parenthood v. Casey, 505 U.S. 833 (29 June 1992); majority opinion co-authored by Anthony Kennedy, David Souter and Sandra O’Connor

Our political/legal landscape right now is dominated by the natural extension of this silly, meaningless crap. Juicy Smellitt defined "his own concept of existence" as one where he was the victim of a racially-motivated bias attack. Whether it really happened or not was of no consequence at all -- either to himself, to his supporters, or (apparently) to the U.S. Supreme Court.

I can see this whole nation and its entire social order unraveling very, very quickly.

The narrative is all. If the facts contradict the narrative, then the facts lie.

They also believe in narrative based justice.
