  • Corporate Media Retracts Reports About Rudy Giuliani’s FBI Warning

    Occidental Dissent - May 2nd 2021 7:35pm EDT

    BOMBSHELL! The corporate media breathlessly shared misinformation about Rudy Giuliani and yet another fake Russia story and will suffer zero consequences on Big Tech social platforms for doing so. CNN: “New York (CNN Business) – The Washington Post, The New York Times, and NBC News on Saturday issued significant corrections, retracting earlier reporting that said Rudy […]

  • Axios: Taliban Threatens To Resume Attacks On American Troops

    Occidental Dissent - May 1st 2021 6:15pm EDT

    Joe Biden has been hailed by the corporate media for withdrawing Americans troops from Afghanistan when all he has really done is break the peace deal that the Trump administration had negotiated with the Taliban. Axios: “The Taliban threatened to launch attacks on U.S. and NATO troops on Saturday as the May 1 deadline for […]

  • City Journal: What’s “Normal” In America

    Occidental Dissent - May 1st 2021 2:59pm EDT

    City Journal: “A few days ago, 216 employees of Simon and Schuster, along with several thousand people from outside the trade publishing house, sent a petition to top executives of the company demanding that they stop publishing anyone who had anything to do with the Trump administration. Their rationale for making such a demand was […]

  • Rudy Giuliani Ensnared In Revived Russia Hoax

    Occidental Dissent - May 1st 2021 10:22am EDT

    I suspected this was bullshit. We’ve got to trust the corporate media and our intelligence agencies, right? They would never lie to us and spread misinformation about Russia. Note: Apparently, this is what the corporate media is doing to revive their ratings.

  • Tucker Carlson: The GOP Disconnect

    Occidental Dissent - May 1st 2021 9:02am EDT

    Tucker Carlson addressed the elephant in the room on his show last night. Why don’t Republican politicians represent Republican voters? If you look at just the polls or what kind of stories repeatedly get traction online, you will find that ordinary people who vote for the Republican Party believe most of the same things that […]

  • Jimmy Dore: George W. Bush Complains About “Misinformation”

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 30th 2021 3:32pm EDT

    Is this some kind of shit test by the corporate media to see how far removed from reality that they can push their narrative?

  • Department of Social Justice Had a Backup Plan To Arrest Derek Chauvin

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 30th 2021 3:13pm EDT

    How do you like the social justice system? The only thing that matters now is what woke progressive elites and their lynch mobs think. Even if a jury of your peers decides you are innocent, you are guilty and should be arrested on the spot anyway. There is a sacred narrative at stake here. The […]

  • Rising: New York Times Declares War On Twitch Streamers

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 30th 2021 12:46pm EDT

    Here you go. It is the same “intersectional” problem. In this case, it is busybody “journalists” who work for the corporate media acting like commissars and demanding censorship to force their woke ideology down the throats of other people. New York Times:

  • Tucker Carlson: Joe Biden’s Despotism

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 30th 2021 12:25am EDT

    Prosecutors expect at least 100 more arrests for U.S. Capitol riot https://t.co/mgFaKNi9C0 pic.twitter.com/xil7W3wx4z — Reuters Politics (@ReutersPolitics) April 23, 2021 I think we understand each other. There is no possibility of coexistence under woke progressivism. As Joe Biden himself said in his Joint Address, it is a struggle between light and darkness. Everything is “white […]

  • Bloomberg: Domestic Terrorism Law Being Weighed By Social Justice Department

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 29th 2021 6:09pm EDT

    The question that I have been wrestling with is this: how hard should I come out against Joe Biden and the Democratic majority in Congress in the 2022 midterms? Bloomberg: “The Justice Department is “actively considering” whether to seek a new law that would let prosecutors bring specific charges for plotting and carrying out acts […]

  • Vogue: Is Having A Baby In 2021 Pure Environmental Vandalism?

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 29th 2021 5:08pm EDT

    Why are the reactionaries focusing on the degenerate professional class these days? Vogue: “Is having a child an act of environmental vandalism or an investment in the future? Is it possible to live an ecologically responsible life while adding yet another person to our overstretched planet? Can I get away with it if I just […]

  • Rising: Is The Biden Administration All Downhill From Here?

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 29th 2021 4:24pm EDT

    In my opinion, it hinges on the economy. If the economy turns out to be as great as some people are banking on, it could definitely help Joe Biden and the Democrats. This is far from a sure thing though. The economy seemed to be roaring and lifting Trump until last March. We don’t know […]

  • Jacobin: Cancel Culture Undermines The Left

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 29th 2021 4:02pm EDT

    Obviously, I agree. Political correctness or wokeness or cancel culture is unquestionably one of the biggest pathologies of the Left. It is also rooted in Freudianism, critical theory and postmodernism which has been established in previous episodes as among the worst ideas of the 20th century Left. I’m afraid that it has reached a critical […]

  • Jimmy Dore: Justice Dems’ Absurd Gushing Over Biden Shocks The Conscience

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 29th 2021 3:25pm EDT

    I haven’t written anything about the American Families Plan because I strongly doubt that Joe’s official plan to raise taxes on the wealthy and to raise the capital gains tax is anything but smoke and mirrors like raising the corporate tax rate or preserving the SALT deduction cap.

  • New York Times: The FBI’s Giuliani Raids Warm Late Night’s Heart

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 29th 2021 2:17pm EDT

    Clearly, there is nothing funnier than creating a police state to persecute your domestic political opposition and even having all of your sychophantic comedians on message and spouting state propaganda. New York Times: Note: I don’t even like Rudy Giuliani. I’m beginning to hate the woke professional class though.

  • Ted Cruz: Your Woke Money Is No Good Here

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 29th 2021 1:00pm EDT

    Ted Cruz’s latest op-ed is an excellent example of this transition. The politicians are being reprogrammed because the political reality underneath them has shifted due to the resorting of the electorate. Wall Street Journal: “Georgia’s new election law runs 98 generously spaced pages. A fast reader can get through it in one sitting. If you’re […]

  • Matt Karp: How Democrats Lost The Working Class

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 29th 2021 12:14pm EDT

    Matt Karp is my favorite college-educated Brooklyn-based socialist. We have similar views on the PMC Question. In my view, PMCs have gradually taken over the Democratic Party and have steadily pushed social liberalism and polarizing culture war issues which have repulsed the Heartland working class. The Republicans have capitalized on the collapse of the New […]

  • Department of Social Justice Announces Hate Crime Charges In Ahmaud Arbery Case

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 29th 2021 11:36am EDT

    You know how this goes. Ibram X. Kendi popularizes the concept of systematic racism. The corporate media goes around cherry picking which crimes to pluck out of context and raise to national prominence as examples to justify the social justice gospel, prosecutes and convicts cops or suspects in the court of elite opinion and writes […]

  • Tucker Carlson: The War On Cops

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 29th 2021 10:42am EDT

    The emerging crime wave is also on Tucker Carson’s radar.

  • Joe Biden’s Joint Address To Congress

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 28th 2021 10:13pm EDT

    It was extremely boring. Now that Joe Biden’s first 100 days are over, he is moving from the easy part to the hard part. The road ahead is about to get a lot rougher for Joe Biden. It was easy to be sworn into office after the peak of COVID and to distribute the vaccine […]

  • Flashback: Kamala Harris Said She Would Support Eating Less Red Meat If Elected President

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 28th 2021 6:27pm EDT

    I would like to hear what Black and Hispanic people think about this. What do you think about the War on Barbecue? Are you ready to give up your ribs and pork chops, your chicken and your steak, burgers and brisket and eat tofu and all of that fag shit in the grocery store? National […]

  • Rep. Jayapal: Terms Such As ‘Latinx’ Are Important To Communities Of Color

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 28th 2021 5:27pm EDT

    It is absolutely vital that progressive activists continue to use the gender neutral term “Latinx” in their messaging to Hispanic voters: Note: It has become a running joke here.

  • Michael Tracey: One Year After George Floyd, Minneapolis Is “Murderapolis” Again

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 28th 2021 3:02pm EDT

    The “racial justice” movement has fixed Minneapolis. Michael Tracey: “This is especially true in Minneapolis, where the tumult of the Floyd episode and its fallout has now lasted for nearly a full year. Because it simply cannot be disputed that the prevalence of unjust killing and violence in the Twin Cities area has vastly increased […]

  • Poll: COVID Recedes As Most Important Issue Facing The Country

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 28th 2021 2:33pm EDT

    Culture war is king. Immigration is the most important issue on the minds of Republican voters. Race Relations is surging and rapidly becoming the most important issue on the minds of Democratic voters. Gallup:

  • The FBI Is Spying On Suspected “Racially Motivated Violent Extremists”

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 28th 2021 1:01pm EDT

    The National Justice Party wants to abolish the FBI. This is probably their best idea. Daily Mail: “The FBI searched troves of communications sucked up by the National Security Agency for information on ‘racially motivated violent extremists’ without a warrant, ignoring previous warnings it was breaking the law. The FBI’s requests for access to masses of electronic communications […]
