Samer....Grilled who I will refer to as Morgan from now on has NO SHAME. I wonder what he thinks about the resignation letter Bari Weiss gave to the NY Times yesterday. Here's her letter that should win a pulitzer, and if the editor dare go after her in any way she nail his ass to the wall for being anti-semite. Enjoy the read;



"It is with sadness that I write to tell you that I am resigning from The New York Times.

I joined the paper with gratitude and optimism three years ago. I was hired with the goal of bringing in voices that would not otherwise appear in your pages: first-time writers, centrists, conservatives and others who would not naturally think of The Times as their home. The reason for this effort was clear: The paper’s failure to anticipate the outcome of the 2016 election meant that it didn’t have a firm grasp of the country it covers. Dean Baquet and others have admitted as much on various occasions. The priority in Opinion was to help redress that critical shortcoming.

I was honored to be part of that effort, led by James Bennet. I am proud of my work as a writer and as an editor. Among those I helped bring to our pages: the Venezuelan dissident Wuilly Arteaga; the Iranian chess champion Dorsa Derakhshani; and the Hong Kong Christian democrat Derek Lam. Also: Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Masih Alinejad, Zaina Arafat, Elna Baker, Rachael Denhollander, Matti Friedman, Nick Gillespie, Heather Heying, Randall Kennedy, Julius Krein, Monica Lewinsky, Glenn Loury, Jesse Singal, Ali Soufan, Chloe Valdary, Thomas Chatterton Williams, Wesley Yang, and many others.

But the lessons that ought to have followed the election—lessons about the importance of understanding other Americans, the necessity of resisting tribalism, and the centrality of the free exchange of ideas to a democratic society—have not been learned. Instead, a new consensus has emerged in the press, but perhaps especially at this paper: that truth isn’t a process of collective discovery, but an orthodoxy already known to an enlightened few whose job is to inform everyone else.

Twitter is not on the masthead of The New York Times. But Twitter has become its ultimate editor. As the ethics and mores of that platform have become those of the paper, the paper itself has increasingly become a kind of performance space. Stories are chosen and told in a way to satisfy the narrowest of audiences, rather than to allow a curious public to read about the world and then draw their own conclusions. I was always taught that journalists were charged with writing the first rough draft of history. Now, history itself is one more ephemeral thing molded to fit the needs of a predetermined narrative.

My own forays into Wrong think have made me the subject of constant bullying by colleagues who disagree with my views. They have called me a Nazi and a racist; I have learned to brush off comments about how I’m “writing about the Jews again.” Several colleagues perceived to be friendly with me were badgered by coworkers. My work and my character are openly demeaned on company-wide Slack channels where masthead editors regularly weigh in. There, some coworkers insist I need to be rooted out if this company is to be a truly “inclusive” one, while others post ax emojis next to my name. Still other New York Times employees publicly smear me as a liar and a bigot on Twitter with no fear that harassing me will be met with appropriate action. They never are.

There are terms for all of this: unlawful discrimination, hostile work environment, and constructive discharge. I’m no legal expert. But I know that this is wrong.

I do not understand how you have allowed this kind of behavior to go on inside your company in full view of the paper’s entire staff and the public. And I certainly can’t square how you and other Times leaders have stood by while simultaneously praising me in private for my courage. Showing up for work as a centrist at an American newspaper should not require bravery.

Part of me wishes I could say that my experience was unique. But the truth is that intellectual curiosity—let alone risk-taking—is now a liability at The Times. Why edit something challenging to our readers, or write something bold only to go through the numbing process of making it ideologically kosher, when we can assure ourselves of job security (and clicks) by publishing our 4000th op-ed arguing that Donald Trump is a unique danger to the country and the world? And so self-censorship has become the norm.

What rules that remain at The Times are applied with extreme selectivity. If a person’s ideology is in keeping with the new orthodoxy, they and their work remain unscrutinized. Everyone else lives in fear of the digital thunderdome. Online venom is excused so long as it is directed at the proper targets.

Op-eds that would have easily been published just two years ago would now get an editor or a writer in serious trouble, if not fired. If a piece is perceived as likely to inspire backlash internally or on social media, the editor or writer avoids pitching it. If she feels strongly enough to suggest it, she is quickly steered to safer ground. And if, every now and then, she succeeds in getting a piece published that does not explicitly promote progressive causes, it happens only after every line is carefully massaged, negotiated and caveated.

It took the paper two days and two jobs to say that the Tom Cotton op-ed “fell short of our standards.” We attached an editor’s note on a travel story about Jaffa shortly after it was published because it “failed to touch on important aspects of Jaffa’s makeup and its history.” But there is still none appended to Cheryl Strayed’s fawning interview with the writer Alice Walker, a proud anti-Semite who believes in lizard Illuminati.

The paper of record is, more and more, the record of those living in a distant galaxy, one whose concerns are profoundly removed from the lives of most people. This is a galaxy in which, to choose just a few recent examples, the Soviet space program is lauded for its “diversity”; the doxxing of teenagers in the name of justice is condoned; and the worst caste systems in human history includes the United States alongside Nazi Germany.

Even now, I am confident that most people at The Times do not hold these views. Yet they are cowed by those who do. Why? Perhaps because they believe the ultimate goal is righteous. Perhaps because they believe that they will be granted protection if they nod along as the coin of our realm—language—is degraded in service to an ever-shifting laundry list of right causes. Perhaps because there are millions of unemployed people in this country and they feel lucky to have a job in a contracting industry.

Or perhaps it is because they know that, nowadays, standing up for principle at the paper does not win plaudits. It puts a target on your back. Too wise to post on Slack, they write to me privately about the “new McCarthyism” that has taken root at the paper of record.

All this bodes ill, especially for independent-minded young writers and editors paying close attention to what they’ll have to do to advance in their careers. Rule One: Speak your mind at your own peril. Rule Two: Never risk commissioning a story that goes against the narrative. Rule Three: Never believe an editor or publisher who urges you to go against the grain. Eventually, the publisher will cave to the mob, the editor will get fired or reassigned, and you’ll be hung out to dry.

For these young writers and editors, there is one consolation. As places like The Times and other once-great journalistic institutions betray their standards and lose sight of their principles, Americans still hunger for news that is accurate, opinions that are vital, and debate that is sincere. I hear from these people every day. “An independent press is not a liberal ideal or a progressive ideal or a democratic ideal. It’s an American ideal,” you said a few years ago. I couldn’t agree more. America is a great country that deserves a great newspaper.

None of this means that some of the most talented journalists in the world don’t still labor for this newspaper. They do, which is what makes the illiberal environment especially heartbreaking. I will be, as ever, a dedicated reader of their work. But I can no longer do the work that you brought me here to do—the work that Adolph Ochs described in that famous 1896 statement: “to make of the columns of The New York Times a forum for the consideration of all questions of public importance, and to that end to invite intelligent discussion from all shades of opinion.”

Ochs’s idea is one of the best I’ve encountered. And I’ve always comforted myself with the notion that the best ideas win out. But ideas cannot win on their own. They need a voice. They need a hearing. Above all, they must be backed by people willing to live by them."

Sincerely,



Bari

Grilled who I will refer to as Morgan from now on

Ok @ThatNameGuy. I'll ask. Why Morgan?

Is this on domaining topic?

Or is this going to revert back to MSM / Will Smith?

If related to domaining, will you refer to me as Morgan because of the domainer Morgan Linton?

ICYMI: He's written some GREAT articles lately.

Here's a two articles that should win a few domainers choice awards. Enjoy the reads:

Morgan has written many more, in case you want to further your education.

This week I will not be blogging about domain names, there is something more important to talk about
by MORGAN on JUNE 1, 2020


We are at a turning point in American history, a time where enough is enough and real change needs to happen, now. Systemic racism in this country needs to end and police policy reform also needs to happen, now. Today, Jack Dorsey the CEO of both Twitter and Square shared this:


And while social networks like Twitter are censoring our Presidents hateful tweets, companies like Facebook are complacent. Today, President Trump staged a sickening publicity stunt in front of a church which was denounced by the church itself along with religious leaders across the country:


We have a racist President and we have police in our country who are abusing their power and targeting black people in what can only be described as systemic racism. Mark Suster, one of the VC I’ve always looked up to the most shared this powerful tweet today:


This week, my blog will be dedicated to sharing something that is much more important than articles about domain names. I’m going to be putting my heart and soul into what I write this week more than I ever have in the thirteen years I’ve been writing this blog. If you’re looking for ways to make a difference now, Barack Obama has some great places to start.


I know this post, and all of my posts over the course of the week will cause me to lose some readers. This is MorganLinton.com, it is my blog, it represents my views and what I believe in. I am proud to stand with the protesters (not the looters and rioters, please understand these are very different groups) and with organizations like Black Lives Matter.

Tomorrow, my blog will be silent as will I on all social media in honor of #BlackoutTuesday, but I will be back on Wednesday, not to talk about domain names, but to talk about what really matters right now in our country, and in the world – putting an end to systemic racism and fighting for police reform and justice.

Now is not the time for us to pretend everything is okay, now is the time to realize that everything is not okay and to fight for what is right.

https://morganlinton.com/if-you-dont-understand-the-protests-read-this/

If you don’t understand the protests, read this
by MORGAN on JUNE 3, 2020


People across the United States and around the world are protesting in honor of George Floyd and to fight against systemic racism and police brutality. The vast majority of these protests have been peaceful and I think they should and will continue until we start to see some real change. I have made it very clear that I stand with the protesters and support Black Lives Matter.

If you don’t understand why people are protesting, I highly encourage you to read this article in the Los Angeles Times written by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Here’s one of the key points Kareem makes that I think is important for everyone to read and reflect on:

What do you see when you see angry black protesters amassing outside police stations with raised fists? If you’re white, you may be thinking, “They certainly aren’t social distancing.” Then you notice the black faces looting Target and you think, “Well, that just hurts their cause.” Then you see the police station on fire and you wag a finger saying, “That’s putting the cause backward.”

You’re not wrong — but you’re not right, either. The black community is used to the institutional racism inherent in education, the justice system and jobs. And even though we do all the conventional things to raise public and political awareness — write articulate and insightful pieces in the Atlantic, explain the continued devastation on CNN, support candidates who promise change — the needle hardly budges.

(Source – Los Angeles Times)
Now is the time for us to come together as humans to support each other and fight to put an end to systemic racism. If you are wondering what you can do to help, I highly recommend you read this article that shares seven different things you can do.

As I mentioned on Monday, this week I will not be writing about domain names, it is much more important to me to use my platform to show my support for Black Lives Matter and provide information, resources, and encouragement for others to get involved and take action.

This is not the time to be silent or pretend nothing is happening, now is the time to be loud, take action, and demand change.

@ThatNameGuy -- Are you are going to refer to me as Morgan for now on in reference to Morgan Freeman? Perhaps asking me to dig through the main stream media rabbit hole?

If rabbit hole is the case, I'll infer you referenced the Bari Weiss letter so to expand the search to:

Twitter + Morgan Freeman.

All are fake of course. If one of them was real , this would be as great thing as all 6 being real. Without Apollo movies, we could say, it is a very difficult thing to do, close to impossible, but after seeing those movies we don't need to argue. For example an astronaut climbing a 3M (10 foot) ladder, no need to do it, he could just jump that much. Ok this is not a proof but we should have seen such high jumps. A real proof, a car is moving on the moon (read, Nevada desert), tires of the car move moon dust, but moon dust "hits the air" instead of following a perfect parabolic path. When there is no air, a piece of paper drops in the same way a piece of rock does. Instead we see a very earth-like behavior. Flag is waving. No stars in the sky etc. But my favorite is moon dust hitting the air, there can be no excuse for it.

For all you guys
who still think moon landing was a fake

watch that BBC video of 1979

for a fake
they did a whole lot of stuff to make it look real


for me
I respect those guys
as much as one can respect someone

they deserve so much respect

today nobody can imagine
that we could do similar
with the same tools they had

and you are right

respect.

Surface of the Moon can have craters of all sizes in addition to mountains and hills. There may be no flat part to land on. ... Why does one person stay in an orbit, and two people land, what would be the advantage. It would just mean an additional mechanical problem. And the lunar module needs to reach a horizontal speed of 2 km/s to be glued back to the satellite. (2 km/s= escape velocity 2,8/sqrt(2)). Lots of energy needed, in addition to lots of skill and communication and computation power. If there is a very complicated problem, then first you need to be able to solve a very basic version of it. For example first become a satellite of the Moon, and come back without landing. This would be a much easier work, and still a great achievement. Why take all risks at once (because there is no risk when the film is made on the Earth).

Much of this is over my head, but I get what counts in life and domaining. In the last 48 hours I registered two domains to help UNITE the "Black and Blue", and anyone who needs an explanation of what either of these words stand for you need to go back to sleep Now that you're in suspense, here are the two uniting domains I hand reg'd; BlackandBlueMatters.??? and BlackandBlueStrong.???.

Anyway, I told Rob Monster he shouldn't have started this thread, but now that he has, I'm able to put my UNITING TALENT to work. Thanks

Worth a listen for those who crave deeply intellectual research and this I find to be relevant to this topic:



Subtle Infinity is half Black half Mexican


Not that that kind of thing matters to me personally, but since this topic is about those of different ethnicity and injustice, perhaps his channel will be something you like.

@ThatNameGuy

Back to your regular programming for you then......Turn on your FoxNews or CNN while you are passed out on the couch and enjoy!

Whoever benefits from alternative viewpoints may find Subtle Infinity's channel helpful.



90% of your posts on NP are pure garbage. However I bite my tongue about it - until now. Why are you even here? 0 trader rating?

Just as an fyi....i'm part Jewish (some might say the best part) and as such I have been investigating the TRUE RACISM emanating from the likes of Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook, George Soros, Bernie Sanders, Jerry Nadler, a congressman from NY, and Adam Schiff another Jewish Congressman from California. These individuals are not only Jewish, they're ALL damn Democrats (note I'm neither a Democrat or a Republican). Another Jew who many domainers are familiar with and a big supporter of "Black Lives Matter" is Morgan Linton of MorganLinton.com.

This thread titled "An Epik Statement on Racism and Injustice" provides an opportunity for me to focus on the blatant HYPOCRISY of these Jews who hate both Donald Trump and are TRUE RACISTS (all of who I intend to expose)

ThatNameGuy, I don't understand most of your posts , but I "liked" the one above, assuming I understood it correctly.

Blacklivesmatter: I totally agree, but why use it against Trump. If it is being used against Trump, then enemies of Trump killed that black guy.
I know good jews and bad jews. I think 80 percent are ok or good, 20 percent are bad. Probably the same is true for other races. But concentration of good and bad people in powerful positions may be totally different.

topdown....in case you hadn't noticed I don't take too lightly being called a "racist" whether it's blatant or insinuated. I've learned that few Blacks are actually behind the "Black Lives Matter" movement, case in point, Morgan Linton who is Jewish is a huge proponent of Black Lives Mater.. Ironically I'm part Jewish, but I wasn't born yesterday, and in memory of two of the greatest men in my life, Ben Goldstein (my Grandfather) and Lester Levine (my Uncle) I'll do my very best to expose these frauds for who they really are. Ask yourself, who do you think is paying these protester's and outside agitators to create havoc every night in America? I wish things were different, but there are some very high profile people at the helm. They're rocking the boat now, but I can only hope they're in the boat when it sinks, and it will

There are 4 types of people in blacklivesmatter protests.

1-honest protesters
2-people who need some excitement in their life (doing it just for fun)
3-looters
4-provocateurs

Most participants belong to #1 and #2. And obviously people behind #4 are running the show. They are also creators of corona. To me everything is so obvious.

Yes, it is so obvious that the creators of corona are BLM supporters. They were working in a lab in China with Bill Gates on micro-chipping people as well as 5G and mind control.....Do the research!

Deep state is like a spider or an octopus. It has many arms. What does Trump have anything to do with killing that black guy. Why is Trump protested over such a thing. There is no connection. Both GMO corona and trying to turn these protests into an orange revolution in USA are commanded from the same center. You can add Russiagate nonsense to the list. Bush killed 1 million in Iraq, his granddaddy supported Nazi's, and he is now "complaining" about racism in USA, and he is antitrump although he is from the same party.

Wikipedia is a good source, but on geopolitics matters, it is always on deepstate's side. Rationalwiki is much much worse. It claims to be on science side, but in reality it is purely a deepstate tool lying on critical matters and insulting people who tell the truth. They may even be creating their own conspiracy theories and then debunking them.

I don't see a direct connection between corona and 5G.

Samer...i'll share something with you that you're probably not aware of; Most Jews the likes of Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook, George Soros, Chuck Schumer, Bernie Sanders, Jerry Nadler, Adam Schiff and even Morgan Linton are all Democrats and they're "Hate Mongers" and "Racists" when it comes to the likes of non Jews ie., Germans (Trump's father was German), Muslims, Christians and even Blacks. They have an agenda Samer, and sadly it's NOT to promote peace and harmony in this world. Jews are generally smarter than those they hate, and as such are capable of flipping the narrative.

For the record Samer, i'm part Jewish (the good part), but I'm actually a Christian. I love this country and it's tearing me apart to see anarchy and the divisiveness caused by "Hate Mongering" and "True Racism" Instead of "Black Lives Matter" that evolved due to interaction with the cops, I'm promoting "BlackandBlueMatter" in a way that might just bring this country back together. Anyone who think they may like to help promote unity vs. division can reach out to me via Linkedin....see my "information" link.
