Not Waiting For The Asteroid


Other accounts noted that in addition to threatening the United States, Khamenei said this: “The Zionist regime is a cancerous tumor and it will be removed.” While we don’t know how or why a mention of this element of the speech managed to get excised from the account in the Times, it’s a question worth pondering.

  1. Of course the NYT has to chop out that bit. The MSM has for years been touting the notion that Imadinnerjacket may be crazy but supposedly he’s being restrained by the rumoured older and wiser heads on the clerics council.
    Printing that quote would blow their happy little fantasy narrative to bits. A newspaper may do its best to make liars of others, but it never willingly makes a liar of itself.
    It would mean admitting for the first time that Iran is a far bigger threat than the media has been willing to admit thus far. It would mean admitting that military action is a serious possibility.
    They’ve all had us looking industriously in the wrong place. They’ve been pointing us busily at Iran’s rather pathetic little missile development program. Idiots. All Iran has to do is drive a speedboat with a nuke into each of Saudi Arabia’s oil ports. Two more loaded in trawlers would be sufficient to demolish Haifa and Tel Aviv. Now these are REAL threats.
    They’re not stupid. They know that with nuclear weapons they can bring the world’s economy crashing down. Do you really think the Times or any of the rest of the jabbering journos wants to admit any of this?

  2. This is the same paper that managed to “miss” the the Ukrainian “famine”, the only thing that surprises me is that they remain in business.
    May bankruptcy take them.

  3. The NYT can claim they are omitting speech that would expose an identifiable group to hatred or contempt.

  4. Which reminds me.. if hundreds of thousands of people watch the CBC and, as a result, hate CBC employees, do CBC broadcasts qualify as hate speech?

  5. I think we all know why the Times left out the sentence and The Phantom mentions an earlier lapse by the Times and for much the same reason.

  6. Wake up people. Stop complaining that the MSM doesn’t give you the version of the news you believe is true. The MSM are not selling truth, they’re selling propaganda to THEIR audience, who want to be reassured that their preconceived ideas are ‘real’. Anyone who believes the ‘news’ is real and unbiased is foolishly naive.

  7. We keep hearing how our government stands shoulder to shoulder with Israel. We don’t have a Army, Navy or Airforce to speak of but we sure talk tough. Other than give moral support we could do nothing. Somewhere between the Times ignoring the real story, and Harper promising far more than we could deliver is the fact that Israel is pretty well on its own. I sure as hell wouldn’t count on Obamas help as he seems more adept at kissing Muslim as*es. This whole chicken sh*t approach to Irans nuclear weapons program will be a mute point once the first mushroom cloud goes off. Sanctions will do nothing but confirm Irans belief that the UN and Obama wont do anything. They are right. It must be comforting for Israel to know Canada is on their side. They also know it’s worthless.

  8. The New York & Duranty Times.
    Let the cover ups continue because our readers can’t handle the truth.

  9. North of 60 manages, once again, to miss the point while putting down the minions here who didn’t make it in the first place.
    The damage and destruction the MSM’s progressive lies have wreaked—e.g., the election of Obama and subsequent havoc—are seriously undermining our security and our rights and freedoms. Kate’s “Asteroid” series documents that. So, N of 60, why the condescension and animosity? And what would you suggest?

  10. For North of 60: check out both EBD’s lead post about the “Marxist media” at Reader Tips today and a number of comments there. If you’re able to process that information with an open mind, you’ll find that those of us who are alarmed by the dangerous and destructive MSM propaganda are, indeed, quite wide awake.

    Moot eh? Damn, the things you on this site. Thank you. Probably knew that when I left school decades ago.

  12. This is what we should be worried about. They mean this with every fiber of their being. Just like Hitler did in Mien Kamph.
    Iran warns world of coming great eventSays ‘evil hegemony’ soon will be defeated by power of Allah
    Any Iranian military or commercial vessel easily could get right outside the U.S. coastline and in less than 60 seconds fire a ballistic missile armed with a nuclear payload and detonate it over U.S. skies in an electromagnetic attack that would plunge America back into the 18th century.

    oOH YA. That’s one cheerful opinion to brighten the day. More truth in that than the MSM wants to hear or deal with.
