Toronto Star incites hatred but readers are “confused”
Posted on August 31st, 2021 – Comments Off on Toronto Star incites hatred but readers are “confused”Recently the Toronto Star had to write an “explanation” of why an article they’d written a couple of days prior came across as overtly inciting hatred against the unvaccinated.
Because, obviously, that’s not what they do.
Obviously.
The follow-up does use the word “sorry”, not because they actually did it but because the formatting of the headlines “sowed confusion”. Not only is this a flaccid half-apology but it’s also bullshit. In fact, they pull this sort of crap regularly, without reservation, and with no apologies.
For example, they give voice to hateful, racist, divisive rhetoric like that of Shree Paradkar who openly lambasts “(mostly) white covidiots” (then swiftly changes her tune when new evidence emerges), and reminds readers that it’s white people that are basically the original source of all evil everywhere.
Then there’s Royson James who not-so-subtly threatens white people with violence, looting, and destruction unless they take a knee to his own unbelievably twisted, racist, ignorant viewpoint.
And lest we forget Vinay Menon who supports screaming obsenity-laced rants against “covidiots” by people like Tom Cruise. “Good for YOU!”, concludes a giddy Mennon in his article.
No, the Toronto Star’s latest attempt to incite hatred, violence, and sow division wasn’t an accident, mistake, or a one-off. This is par for the course at the ignominious rag and has been for some time. They were simply seeing how far they could take it and this time around there were just too many complaints to ignore. You can be certain that they wouldn’t have issued an “explanation” if so many people weren’t “confused”.
Of course they’re not the only ones to do this but they’re among the most consistent and vocal. This toilet paper masquerading as news openly engages in hate speech and incitement to violence (which I thought was a crime here in Canada), and gets away with it every time.
Apparently it’s perfectly fine for some publications to promote hate and violence while those not toeing the line of state propaganda get shut down and criminally charged for “consistently dehumanizing” identifiable groups of people. Clearly white people and the unvaccinated don’t count.
You don’t have to agree with their statements to see that there’s a massive double standard here.

I loved this tune when it first came out; still love it today. And one guess as to where the video was shot.

The reprehensible pieces of shit that politicized the death of a 13-year-old girl
Posted on April 28th, 2021 – Comments Off on The reprehensible pieces of shit that politicized the death of a 13-year-old girlRecently, Emily Viegas, a 13-year-old Brampton girl died of Covid. I’m sure you can find more information than I’ve included but here’s a link just in case.
Basically, the story is that the vaccinated father (an essential worker, as if that was somehow relevant), was staying home with the girl to take care of her as both the mother and her brother had also come down with Covid. Seems the dad didn’t want to take Emily to the hospital because he didn’t want to overburden the healthcare system, something the media have been screaming about lately.
In many ways, this would’ve been just another sad story of a Covid victim except certain reprehensible fucks just couldn’t even keep their political agendas in their pants long enough to let Emily’s body grow cold before pushing them; sick assholes like Andrew Boozary, so-called “Doctor”, who proudly advertises that the doctor’s primary task is to be political (not saving lives or reducing suffering), and who was immediately on television when Emily died — the same television warning of hospitals being “on the brink”, a warning that Emily’s father clearly took to heart — while doing his best “human sadness” impression in order to push through his agenda of provincial paid sick days. Oh yeah, and systemic racism … of course.
Because sick days would’ve prevented Emily’s death how, exactly? Maybe by allowing the father to stay home to take care of her? Oh wait … he did. Maybe the mother could’ve stayed at home? Oh wait … she was in the hospital with Covid. Well, obviously the solution is sick days legislation. Logic! Science!
Naturally, Doug Ford caved and now Emily’s father can rest easy knowing that nothing would be different today had this legislation been passed earlier.
I personally don’t have a horse in the sick days race but it’s obvious that Emily’s death was immediately, coldly, disgustingly scooped up by people like Boozary (not the only one, I should mention), in order to push through a political agenda that had absolutely nothing to do with her death.
The fact that people like Boozary are idolized and applauded for their inhuman callousness is a stark reflection of the horrible dregs of humanity that have been slavishly published and worshipped since the start of Covid. People like Boozary are sociopathic monsters, pushing politics and hateful ignorant racism based on abject lies (many examples here on TCL), supported by media networks that are in many ways directly responsible for Emily’s death by frightening her father into avoiding the hospital (of course Boozary made no mention of this obvious fact). And they’re working hand in hand to keep you “informed”.
Why don’t people trust the media, politicians, and increasingly the medical community? Big mystery.

I got a feeling of recent-post-apocalyptic desertion here (the picture was taken late last week), greatly enhanced by the wall of kids’ mugshots in the back.
