NAPPY-HEADED HOAX
July 11, 2007


The New York Times alone has mentioned the Scottsboro Boys case from
the 1930s nearly 20 times since 2002 (expanding the "news" part of
"newspaper" just a bit), so I think I'm entitled to spend at least one
more week luxuriating in the Duke lacrosse players' total vindication
and the exposure of a Southern liberal prosecutor as a corrupt hack.

Twenty years ago, disbarred Duke prosecutor Mike Nifong would have
been Time magazine's Man of the Year. Vanity Fair would have
photographed him sitting in a Porsche under the headline: "Speaking
Truth to Power."

One hundred years ago, he would have been lynching innocent black men.
Southern liberals have stayed the same; only their victims have
changed.

To watch the complete destruction of this foolish and evil man,
Michael Nifong — despite the mainstream media's best efforts to
portray him as a modern-day Atticus Finch — is as great a moment as
the annihilation of Dan Rather. Katie Couric's self-immolation is just
a bonus — when it rains, it pours!

It is as great as Clinton's impeachment (which The New York Times is
already claiming never happened in a front-page Week in Review article
by Sam Tanenhaus on May 20).

The fact that we keep catching liberals in such blatant falsehoods
shows you what they used to be able to get away with.

When the falsely accused Duke lacrosse players Reade Seligmann and
Collin Finnerty were indicted, Newsweek put their mug shots on its
cover.

Months after the story first broke and most of the exculpatory
evidence was known, an opinion piece — I assume it was an opinion
piece — in The Washington Post began: "She was black, they were white,
and race and sex were in the air." No, that's not the tagline for a
new reality show — it's the first line of a legitimate story in a U.S.
paper. It was downhill from there. The Duke case was "reminiscent of a
black woman's vulnerability to a white man during the days of slavery,
reconstruction and Jim Crow."

In fact, the case was reminiscent of the Scottsboro Boys case, but
this time the falsely accused rape defendants were white. If only the
press had dubbed them the "Durham Boys," that would be a great title
for the Lifetime TV movie about this case that will never be made.

The accuser's history of making false accusations of gang rape, the
players' alibis and the prosecutor's lies were all known to The New
York Times when it reported on Aug. 25, 2006, that "while there are
big weaknesses in Mr. Nifong's case, there is also a body of evidence
to support his decision to take the matter to a jury." By "body of
evidence," the Times was apparently referring to a smattering of
racial and sexual stereotypes earnestly believed in Hollywood and in
newsrooms across America in defiance of the facts.

The Times article also noted, "In several important areas, the full
files, reviewed by The New York Times, contain evidence stronger than
that highlighted by the defense." The "stronger" evidence consisted of
obvious lies told by the prosecution and lustily repeated by the
Times.

Shockingly, even when the jig was up, and the attorney general of
North Carolina announced that the accused were innocent, much of the
mainstream media continued to withhold the accuser's name.

According to various postings on the Internet, Fox News Channel was
the only national television station to show the false accuser's
photo, and CNN never even revealed her name.

From my research, it appears that CBS News named Crystal Gail Mangum
and showed her picture. (Of course, this being CBS, the picture may
have been forged.) But the only time her name came out on CNN was by
non-CNN employees during live press conferences and one time when a
guest slipped it in — you should pardon the expression — during a
discussion of Nifong's disbarment hearing, unaware of CNN's policy of
protecting the names of women who make false accusations of rape.

The New York Times has yet to name the woman who falsely accused three
men of committing a brutal gang rape.

The Times "public editor" described the paper's delusional coverage of
the Duke case after the first several weeks as "basically fair." The
Times Sports editor, Tom Jolly, said he was "very comfortable" with
the coverage, saying the case had two main elements: "One was the
allegation of rape; the other was the general behavior of a high-level
sports team at a prestigious university." That's when you know your
newspaper might have a wee hint of a liberal bias: when even the
sportswriters are left-wing crackpots.

Apparently, the Times editor did not see this possibility as an
"element" of the case: A liberal prosecutor incites a racial
conflagration weeks before an election in a heavily black voting
district by using the incredible claims of a stripper to falsely
accuse three innocent white men of gang rape.

After the dust clears, perhaps we can expect a Mary Mapes-type book
from Nifong explaining how the rape really did happen after all, or a
book from Joe Conason on how the people who brought Nifong down were a
conspiracy of "Nifong-haters."

You can't win a victory like this without some liberals being
affected. Bush may be an ineffective communicator, but that doesn't
mean all thought stops in the rest of the country. Well-educated
liberals, who have wealth and homes and children, begin to freak out
as they get to know their apparent allies. They have something to lose
from allowing insane people to run the country.

Even now, in conservatism's darkest hour, we continue to see the
transformation of responsible liberals. It happened with Clinton, with
Gore's election tantrum, with 9/11, with the Swift Boat Veterans, with
Dan Rather and now with Michael Nifong. The rolling reconfiguration of
the country can't help but to proceed in a molecular way.

A few more victories like this, and someday the phrase "sensible
liberal" may make sense again.

Sudan man forced to 'marry' goat

A Sudanese man has been forced to take a goat as his "wife", after he
was caught having sex with the animal.
The goat's owner, Mr Alifi, said he surprised the man with his goat
and took him to a council of elders.

They ordered the man, Mr Tombe, to pay a dowry of 15,000 Sudanese
dinars ($50) to Mr Alifi.

"We have given him the goat, and as far as we know they are still
together," Mr Alifi said.

Mr Alifi, of Hai Malakal in Upper Nile State, told the Juba Post
newspaper that he heard a loud noise around midnight on 13 February
and immediately rushed outside to find Mr Tombe with his goat.

"When I asked him: 'What are you doing there?', he fell off the back
of the goat, so I captured and tied him up."

Mr Alifi then called elders to decide how to deal with the case.

"They said I should not take him to the police, but rather let him pay
a dowry for my goat because he used it as his wife," Mr Alifi told the
newspaper.

Why is Africa the continent that keeps failing?

Robert Guest

I once hitched a ride on a beer truck in Cameroon, West Africa. The
aim was to see how Cameroonians cope with awful roads and predatory
policemen. We started on the coast and set off, with 30,000 bottles of
Guinness strapped to the back, for a town in the middle of the
rainforest. The journey was no further than from Edinburgh to London,
but it took us four days.

The unpaved roads were passable so long as they were dry, but we were
in a rainforest, where, as the name suggests, it rains often and hard.
We had to stop three times when the road turned to swamp, and once for
a bridge that collapsed after too many floods and not enough repair
work. But the worst delays were caused by 47 police roadblocks.

Cameroon is not at war, so there is no reason for these roadblocks,
other than to give the police an opportunity to fleece motorists.

Every few miles, we would see a pile of tyres or a couple of oil drums
in the middle of the road, and a plump gendarme relaxing in the shade
of a palm tree. Some would make a show of checking to see if our
tail-lights worked. Others would go through our papers looking for
faults, so they could demand bribes not to arrest us.

This sort of thing is sadly quite common in Africa. The gendarme at
the 31st roadblock shared with me a pithy explanation as to why
Africans put up with it. He had invented a new law about not carrying
passengers in beer trucks, and charged us with breaking it. When I
suggested to him that the law he was citing did not, in fact, exist,
he patted his holster and asked me if I had a gun. "I have a gun," he
pointed out, "so I know the rules."

There is a theory, which is still popular, that most of Africa’s
problems are the fault of western colonialism.

I would be the first to agree that the colonists did many bad things.
But my impression, after six years of reporting from sub-Saharan
Africa for the Economist, is that the theory is wildly out of date.

Africa is poor today mainly because it has been so badly governed for
the last 30 or 40 years. Too few of Africa’s rulers are competent;
many are predatory. Those Cameroonian roadblocks are a good
illustration of how power is often wielded in Africa.

The police profit from hassling truckers; everyone else loses. Because
it takes so long to move goods around, lots of things are much more
expensive than they should be. A beer costs 50 per cent more in a
small Cameroonian village than in the city where it was bottled. If a
Cameroonian peasant wants to get his surplus crops to market, the
transport costs gobble up a huge chunk of his profits.

Some African countries remain poor because of wars. Congo’s recent
conflict, for example, not only claimed some three million lives, it
also prompted millions of Congolese to stop tending their fields and
flee into the bush to avoid being killed. This meant they grew less,
and ate less.

More sophisticated industries were scuppered, too. For obvious
reasons, no tourists come to see the gorillas in Congo’s stunning
national parks. Last year, I found two functioning factories in
eastern Congo’s main industrial town, (one making beer, the other
quinine tablets), but doing business there was clearly tough. There is
no banking system, and both factories had been smashed and looted by
unruly soldiers in recent years.

Fortunately, most African countries are more peaceful than this.
Unfortunately, most have still managed to grow poorer since
independence, despite the explosion of new technology that has helped
make life on every other continent across the globe longer and more
prosperous.

You could argue that the collapse of, say, Zimbabwe’s economy has its
roots in colonial injustice. British settlers took much of the good
land in Zimbabwe, so the president, Robert Mugabe, was rectifying an
old wrong when he took it back and gave it to black Zimbabweans. His
land redistribution policy will be good for the country in the long
run, say his apologists.

Practically no-one in Zimbabwe believes this. They know that much of
the land confiscated from whites has been grabbed by colonels and
cabinet ministers, not by the poor who were supposed to benefit.

On one farm I visited, the new owner, a friend of Mr Mugabe’s wife,
had not only evicted hundreds of black farm workers, he had also
ransacked their huts to steal the severance payments their white
employer had been forced to give them before he was driven off.

When one looks at other aspects of Mr Mugabe’s record, his insistence
that Zimbabwe’s troubles are all Britain’s fault seems even less
plausible. It is hard to see, for example, how the wicked imperialists
forced him to print money until hyperinflation made all his subjects’
savings worthless.

‘Too few of Africa’s rulers are competent; many are predatory’

I once changed a couple of American hundred-dollar bills in Zimbabwe
and was given a plastic sackful of currency in exchange. The
Zimbabwean notes came in neat bundles of 100, with consecutive serial
numbers. They were clearly fresh off the press.

Mugabe prints money because he has to keep paying the army to stay in
power. He finds it hard to raise money in more conventional ways,
because he has killed off so many of the industries that used to
generate profits that could be taxed. No other African country
(besides those at war) has collapsed as fast as Zimbabwe in recent
years, but most share at least some of characteristics that brought
Zimbabwe low.

In most African countries, the richest people are in government. Too
many of the cleverest students aspire, not to create wealth, but to
enter politics and grow wealthy on the fruits of other people’s
labour.

Officials rarely see themselves as public servants; they see
themselves as Big Men, whose extended families would be disappointed
if they did not abuse their power to extort money from the weak. They
create burdensome rules in the hope that businessmen will bribe them
to be let off. Those Cameroonian gendarmes were only following their
bosses’ example.

Since the end of the Cold War, several things have improved. Africa
has grown more democratic: even the worst despots now at least go
through the motions of holding elections, and voters have been able to
throw out some 18 regimes since 1990 (compared with none in the 1960s
and 1970s, and only one in the 1980s). The media are freer, except in
Zimbabwe and Eritrea, so voters are slightly better informed, too.

In the last couple of years, the number of civil wars has fallen,
though terrible carnage persists in western Sudan, northern Uganda and
pockets of West Africa. South Africa, by far the continent’s most
advanced economy, has been admirably stable since the end of
apartheid, although it shows few signs of the kind of rapid economic
growth that has transformed east Asia.

Many economists used to believe that the only thing holding Africa
back was a lack of cash. Foreign aid was supposed to solve this by
giving Africans the means to invest in their own industrial
revolution. Development aid equivalent to six Marshall Plans has been
poured into Africa in the last half-century, but it has not made
Africans any less poor.

Unlike American aid to Europe after the Second World War, aid to
Africa has largely been wasted. The difference was that the Americans
were giving capital to people who already knew how to invest it.

The Europeans were rebuilding an industrial base that they had built
once before, but had been bombed to pieces. The Africans were trying
to construct something they had no experience of, which was much
harder.

Some of the money was blown on overpriced dams or factories that never
functioned. Much of the rest was squandered on pink champagne and
limousines. There is evidence that aid to poor countries with sensible
governments works well, but there are not nearly enough such
governments in Africa.

In researching my book, I’ve found that talking to ordinary Africans
is more illuminating than talking to their leaders. African presidents
and finance ministers are intelligent men, who often understand
exactly what the problems are, and say all the right things about how
they plan to fix them, at least when being interviewed by Western
journalists like me. But out in the forest, I hear a more honest
refrain: the men with guns make the rules.

The Shackled Continent: Africa’s past, present and future, will be
published by Macmillan on 16 April.

There's a connection between fascism and racism:

Bush is a fan of Hitler. It's a family tradition of treason.

Just another pesky fact that disproves the

Notice the utter incapacity of the inferior
racist to dispute the facts.


The racist isn't up for reasoning.


Obviously, he isn't up for a web search, either,

He couldn't even read that for comprehension.

The racist is truly inferior.
