The Native American “elder” and fake Vietnam Vet might wish to consider lawyering up. From Neo-Neocon:
However, what’s being almost completely ignored even on the right (the NY Post is just about alone in mentioning it, and they don’t emphasize it much at all) are Phillips’ most vicious lies, told quite early in the game (I’ll get to what they were in a minute). These particular lies probably had a big role in shaping people’s perceptions of the boys and helped to spur their widespread demonization.
It was Phillips himself who quite early on, during his Saturday interview with CNN that set the original tone and was widely disseminated, gave the following description of the Covington boys:
It looked like these young men were going to attack [the Black Israelites]. They were going to hurt them. They were going to hurt them because they didn’t like the color of their skin. They didn’t like their religious views. They were just here in front of the Lincoln — Lincoln is not my hero, but at the same time, there was this understanding that he brought the (Emancipation Proclamation) or freed the slaves, and here are American youth who are ready to, look like, lynch these guys. To be honest, they looked like they were going to lynch them. They were in this mob mentality.
That is not some disagreement about who went up to whom, or whether the wall was mentioned by the boys, or what caps some of them wore. This is an extremely defamatory statement by a political agitator, designed to shape perceptions that the boys were vicious racists with a killer instinct. The language is purposefully inflammatory and of the harshest variety.
It is a lie, and unless Phillips is clinically insane and out of touch with reality (something I don’t believe is the case), it is a knowing and purposeful lie about a bunch of teenagers who were minding their own business. It is a lie so egregious, so foul, that I really lack words to describe the depth and depravity of that lie.
And as far as I can see, just about everyone is ignoring it now.
The lie wasn’t a one-off, either. This incredibly misleading article in Rolling Stone (written that same Saturday) is typical of reactions to the incident as well as to another statement by Phillips that he gave (in an interview with the Detroit Free Press) on Saturday [emphasis mine]:
“There was that moment when I realized I’ve put myself between beast and prey,” Phillips told the Detroit Free-Press. “These young men were beastly and these old black individuals [the Black Israelites] was their prey, and I stood in between them and so they needed their pounds of flesh and they were looking at me for that.”
So that saintly elder Nathan Phillips, casting himself as peacemaker, defames the boys once again, in terms designed to inflame the left into a frenzy of hatred against them as beasts preying on innocent black people. And the left (and some on the right) bought his peacemaker-against-beasts story, perhaps because of his Native American status and because his demeanor while telling the story fed into some other stereotypes that he, as an activist, was well aware they held.
Note also the literary reference (although I’m not sure how conscious it was on Phillips’ part) in speaking of “their pounds of flesh,” which is an old anti-Semitic trope from “The Merchant of Venice” that has passed into the common vernacular for describing a vengeful, bloodthirsty (and also money-hungry) person.
Why is practically no one highlighting these words of Phillips? He certainly did his bit, and then some, to set the story and release the howling Twitter dogs. Of course, people on Twitter—and especially the newspeople who pushed all of this further into the spotlight, never questioning Phillips’ statements but simply broadcasting them—were fully responsible for what they themselves did and said. My point is that Nathan Phillips was a very active and involved leader in setting the extreme tone of the demonization “narrative.”
Go here to read the rest. Racial shakedowns like this obviously was intended to be were so much easier before ubiquitous video recording.
Liars got to lie. Haters got to hate.
While they were waiting for school buses to take them home, the Covington children were assaulted by two groups of perpetually-outraged adults (many with criminal records), you child-hating animals.
Someone got (FOIA) a hold of Chief He-Speaks-With-Forked-Tongue’s DD-214 (look it up). Apparently, it shows not an honorable discharge, and after four years he was a private. That takes special talent – AWOL, stockade time – to never get promoted above private. And, he never bravely fought nor went nearer to Vietnam than El Toro, CA. Finally (O Thank God!), he was not a recon ranger (no such thing in the USMC) he was a freon ranger: his MOS (whatever the Corps calls it) was refer mech.
Chief Speaks likely has no money. But CNN, PMSNBC, the DNC, Bill Maher, NYTimes, et al. have $$$ billions. Young Mr. Sandmann and his attorneys are going to reap a fine harvest. Good.
Simple discharge, multiple UAs (from his criminal record, either alcohol related or while he was in jail (overnight?) for it, which is a not uncommon reason for being AWOL) and a history of making accusations of racism against young, mostly white, men. Maybe he couldn’t tell they were 16, not 19, although the mom who mentioned that he approached her little girl who was holding a sign until the girl was visibly freaked out by his behavior might indicate he was just looking for an easy victim.
“Young Mr. Sandmann and his attorneys are going to reap a fine harvest. Good.”
Dog gone straight!
Michael Jackson, another victim of circumstances..cough cough, said it best; “Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it

Jesus Christ was born into the world as the Son of God. Jesus Christ died as the Son of Man.
Jesus instructed the rabbis on who they are by quoting Isaiah. Luke 4: 14-20 from EWTN
414And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and a report concerning him went out through all the surrounding country. 15And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all. 16And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up; and he went to the synagogue, as his custom was, on the sabbath day. And he stood up to read; 17and there was given to him the book of the prophet Isaiah. He opened the book and found the place where it was written, 18″The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, 19to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.” 20And he closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. 21And he began to say to them, “Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”
18″The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, 19to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.” These words are our constitution, the Judeo-Christian basis for all law.
Hitler had to get rid of the Jews for they carried the book of law.
According to Richard S. Patterson and Richardson Dougall, Annuit coeptis (meaning”favor our undertakings”) and the other motto on the reverse of the Great Seal,Novus ordo seclorum (meaning “new order of the ages”) can both be traced to lines by the Roman poet Virgil. From Wikipedia
“Novus ordo seclorum” a new secular order does not mean Godless.
The motto Novus ordo seclorum can be translated as “A new order of the ages.” It was proposed by Charles Thomson, the Latin expert who was involved in the design of the Great Seal of the United States, to signify “the beginning of the new American Era” as of the date of the Declaration of Independence. From Wikipedia
“Luke 4:19to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”
The eye of God is atop the pyramid on the back of The Great Seal of The United States

I provided a link to this blog entry here at TAC in response to a post made by Nathan Phillips on his Twitter page (https://twitter.com/NathanPOmaha?lang=en). I think my response is buried now. But all of us should use social media to let these people know that their harassment of innocent teenagers won’t be tolerated. We shouldn’t let them win the social media wars. And let Twitter and FB know that their pro-liberal biases won’t be tolerated either. It’s time to fight back. Really, that’s the only good thing about that cesspool known as Twitter. If you can keep yourself from getting angry (very difficult for me) and make your statement without invective or personal attack, then you will have obeyed Twitter’s rules and by their own rules they can’t put you in Twitter jail. Yes, you can be muted and algorithms can marginalize your lone voice. But if thousands and thousands of us stand up, then they can’t ignore that.

Body cams ain’t just for police any more.
It is reprehensible that some people use the Bible to tyrannize. Weaponized religion is insanity as religion is a person’s relationship with “their Creator” in thought, word, deed and peaceable assembly, with accent on peaceable assembly. Mob rule in not religion.
Mob rule is not religion.
Why is nobody highlighting these things? Ask why Jazmine Barnes’s name has all but fallen off the face of the earth. One of the most monstrous evils of the Left and the press has been to teach Americans that life, death and human suffering only matter if they can be exploited to advance Leftist political and social agendas. How does pointing out lies and bigotry of a Native American, or rank racism and bigotry from a bunch of Black Americans, help anything the Left is trying to advance? Right now, like the Jazmine Barnes story, the Left is hoping this goes away.
Isaiah 50: 8-9
“My vindicator is here at hand. Does anyone start proceedings against me?
Then let us go to court together. Who thinks he has a case against me? Let him approach me.”
The Fifth Amendment. No trial in absentia. Being faced by one’s accuser in a court of law.
Is Nathan Philips prepared to spend two years in Federal prison for perjury in a court of law?
Nathan Philips ought to go to church on his knees instead of committing a hate crime. $250,000.00 fine in New York and California for the hate crime of not using the dictated LGBTQ pronoun. What is the penalty for violating our First Amendment civil right to peaceable assembly, inciting to riot, inciting bodily injury, character assassination and assault?
I wouldn’t be surprised if the whole Nathan Phillips thing was a “put up job” by the MSM itself or the Democrat Party. The media jumped on this like flies on sh–. No hesitancy, No shame. Pure confirmation bias. None of this is surprising. We have come to expect it. Nathan gets the Al Sharpton award for inciting hate. It all the MSM and the Democrats have to offer,.
I want to make sure I’m getting this right. The CNN interview is on the 23rd, well after we know what happened. When we know what Phillips said is wrong. That’s not some reprint of an early interview, but actually on the 23rd, correct?
I believe the interview occurred on Saturday the 19th of January.
Citizenship is good will for the common good. An “activist” is a citizen who practices the spiritual and corporal works of mercy for the betterment of the community and the state.
Nathan Philips is not an “activist”. Nathan Philips is a troublemaker. Nathan Philips is an outlaw, violating out First Amendment civil right to peaceable assembly among the other of his crimes of assault, character assassination and invading the personal space of a minor young man without being given permission.
@Michael Dowd:
“No hesitancy, No shame.” “Unless you honor me, I will make of you a no people.” a no people
The objection to these young men is that they didn’t behave in a manner fitting to the status hierarchies manufactured by the media, the educational apparat, and the Democratic Party. This has been attended by blatant lying and now backing-and-filling. It’s pretty amusing that their chosen mascot in this case is an absolute mess of a man who has been misrepresenting himself for decades.
Here’s something I put up about Mark She’s apparent inability to understand the “first rule of holes”.
I was reminded of this. Time to write “Mendacity and the Left, Part II”?
Lance Morrow wrote an interesting article about this. It is titled “High School Morality Play, Progressives’ fixation on adolescent behavior reflects a stunted moral intelligence “. URL:

He comments on how the progressives have a fixation on adolescence. He points out the fixation on the adolescent behavior of Brett Kavanaugh during the confirmation hearings.

He also made an interesting comment. It is: “The twenty-first century lives on a hermeneutics of hysteria”.
