Milo and POTUS posted:No I meant the sword Goons didn’t do original investigative journalism, if that’s what you thought I meant. Someone posted an article about the sword and it got ignored for a page or two before someone was like “Hold the gently caress up. Did ˇJeb! actually believe that ‘Chang’ was a mythical conservative hero and not the very real dictator of Taiwan?” He couldn’t possibly believe that, could he? He did. The posts in question would be from the end of October or beginning of November 2015, when ˇJeb! published Reply All.

Milo and POTUS posted:No I meant the sword the story of the sword of Chang, as I understand it: After the Chinese civil war, Chiang Kai-Shek and the Nationalist faction fled to Taiwan. The world gradually recognized the People's Republic as the legitimate government of China. However, hardcore conservatives had this dream that the US should intervene and militarily support Chiang's dream to retake China. If the US would just "unleash Chiang", China would be free. George H.W. Bush would play tennis, he would joke that he was about to unleash Chiang and kick everyone's rear end. It was him making fun of the John Birch types. Somehow, Jeb got in his head that Chang really was this mythical hero of conservative principles, and he got a sword and made it into his own excalibur, the sword of Chang. He gave it away to Marco Rubio, and misfortune befell them both. Smirking_Serpent has issued a correction as of 08:28 on May 17, 2020 |

The reason Chiang needed to be “unleashed” was that the Seventh Fleet hung out in the strait. In the protoconservative reality distortion bubble, the U.S. Navy wasn’t protecting Chiang from the commies—it was protecting them from him!

“Chang is a mystical warrior. Chang is somebody who believes in conservative principles, believes in entrepreneurial capitalism, believes in moral values that underpin a free society. I rely on Chang with great regularity in my public life. He has been by my side, and sometimes I let him down. But Chang, this mystical warrior, has never let me down.” Then Bush presented Rubio a golden sword, and solemnly explained its significance. “I’m going to bestow to you the sword of a great conservative warrior.” Only … a closer look at the sword and its display stand Rubio kept in his Florida Speaker’s suite showed that the inscription read “C-H-I-A-N-G,” not, “C-H-A-N-G.” Specifically: “Unleash Chiang.”  edit: "unleash chaing" is a right winger phrase from the korean war era lmao Antonymous has issued a correction as of 09:57 on May 17, 2020 |

After 9/11 there was a secret meeting on strategies in the middle east that produced a report for the bush admin in coordination with the heritage foundation, other right wing think tanks, the admin's top policymakers, and also several journalists (including i believe from the atlantic) who ended up coincidentally fully supporting the iraq war and publishing all of the bush admin's false info on iraq as true

There we go quote:Fareed Zakaria, a Newsweek columnist and editor of Newsweek International, attended a secret meeting on November 29, 2001, with a dozen policy makers, Middle East experts and members of influential policy research organizations that produced a report for President George W. Bush and his cabinet outlining a strategy for dealing with Afghanistan and the Middle East in the aftermath of September 11, 2001. The meeting was held at the request of Paul D. Wolfowitz, then the Deputy Secretary of Defense. The unusual presence of journalists, who also included Robert D. Kaplan of The Atlantic Monthly, at such a strategy meeting was revealed in Bob Woodward's 2006 book State of Denial: Bush at War, Part III. Woodward reported in his book that, according to Kaplan, everyone at the meeting signed confidentiality agreements not to discuss what happened. Zakaria told The New York Times that he attended the meeting for several hours but did not recall being told that a report for the president would be produced.

Another big lol quote:On January 14, 2013, The Atlantic's website published "sponsor content" promoting David Miscavige, the leader of the Church of Scientology. While the magazine had previously published advertising looking like articles, this one was widely criticized. The page comments were moderated by the marketing team, not by editorial staff, and comments critical of the church were being removed. Later that day, The Atlantic removed the piece from its website and issued an apology.
