It’s not happening.

It’s happening, but it’s not a big deal.

It’s a good thing, actually.

If you’re upset about the thing, you’re the real problem you bigoted right wing extremist.

Way to keep the receipts and expose subversive MSM propaganda. Fact checkers are demoralization agents.

Consider the racism inherent in their propaganda. I understand why cats and other domesticated animals are seen as a food source in countries that don't have our food supply chains. But we're now in Kansas and we like our ducks and small pets alive and off the grill. It takes a racist to deny that a cultural practice doesn't fit in the USA. It's as if they are afraid this practice is fixed by skin color and/or ethnicity, so it must be denied.

I agree, and only want to add that the repugnance felt by most normal Americans to the butchering and consumption of pets puts the lie to the left/liberal's precious multicultural agenda.

AND/OR, if the story can be used in any way to refute/denigrate/mock Trump, it will be.

The woman in the original cat eating video is American. Americans routinely eat racoon and squirrel. Is it racist to say that Americans consider these animals as a food source in light of our incredible food supply chain?

The woman eating a cat 'raw' in the middle of the street after stepping on its head is deranged. Her nationality is not pertinent. NEXT.

Expand full comment

It's pertinent that she's black. It's primitive behavior. It fits.

I take exception with your characterization of all Americans as deranged based on the actions of one person. You can't generalize an entire population based on the actions one one person!

You need some reading comprehension.

You just made a point supporting what I stated. The racism is inherent in the need for denial.

Agreed except for the comment about ducks. That is a common food. Ever hear "your goose is cooked"?

Hunted geese and ducks are commonly eaten, but not the ducks and geese in the town park.

If you're a poor immigrant, why wouldn't you? You don't really know or care that it's not the custom in America, or if you do, your need to feed outweighs any care you might have.

Point being, we are swamped by people who have significant cultural differences in numbers too difficult to support and integrate, but you're a racist for even thinking that.

(Personally, I think the whole cat story could have been planted (as in, brought to light) by Dems just before the debate because they knew Trump couldn't resist it and it would take him of topic.)

“ cultural differences”. I’ve been in Haiti a few times, and not in a tourist enclave; Petionville and Cite Soleil both. Even “Christians” fear the Voodoo; upper class people keep windows closed at night for fear of evil spirits flying in. Families worship their sacred tree. There’s a museum on the road to Gonaive where people turn in their Voodoo objects to the Church. Groups of dancers in grass skirts in huddle formation in a trance moving down the road. Three nights in a row nonstop African drumming around Xmas. Etc. I was there and I saw all of this. This is the worldview Dems want to assimilate in Springfield. Idiots!

This is the 21st century. America should not be plagued with primitive, third world parasites. Period!

If I were hungry enough I would eat a cat. Even someone’s pet. If you were starving, you might eat ME! It’s human nature!

I have been reading your namesake's work - invaluable insight.

1. The "mainstream" "news" media isn't called Fake News for nothing.

2. Thanks for doing actual journalism.

Expand full comment

When the mainstream media and the ruling class decide to pick on a critical issue, it is usually for two reasons: first, the issue is serious enough and is affecting their interests, and therefore the narrative must be controlled to ensure that the results are in their favor. Second, in doing the former, the ruling class gets to strictly filter and manage the narrative on what needs to be said about any given topic; which ‘experts’ are given the stage to speak; and whose voices are excluded from debates, or even defamed and slandered, if necessary.

That's why I enjoy wearing this "Don't let mass media tell you what to think" tshirt in front of sheeps 👇

Wow! This should be put out everywhere. I wish some left wing MSM journalist would finally crack from the pressure of having no integrity and broadcast or print this. Amazing work as usual Christopher! Thank you for your unrelenting fight for the truth.

Great exposition of basic skills and methodology taught in Journalism 101. Integrity, dedication, and, above all, restless curiosity.

Hey,wait - curiosity - didn’t that kill the chicken, or is that just in the MSM?

Believe your version. The 1 thing that would have made the report complete is having one of the Congolese on camera testifying to eating cats

At any rate, the continued importation of cultures under various Biden regime schemes without attempts to assimilate these people is going to be a source of friction for generations

Expand full comment

No problem. When all white people have been brainwashed, DEI ‘trainers’ will be put to work assimilating these immigrants into compliance with left wing ideology.

Expand full comment

No, two things were needed to make the report complete.

1. Any fucking meaningful evidence whatsoever, and

2. A story that actually mattered to anyone aside from total fucking nutjobs who've spent so long staring in their underpants at internet blogs that they think that a significant news story is a question about what was on a barbecue once in Daytona.

Expand full comment

The story is about the damage Biden's migration policies do to small and midsized economically struggling communities, not least of which is cultural assimilation. Underlying all of it is the hijacking of immigration policy by ideologues conducting misguided migration "justice". Their motivating idea is that it's not the Congolese or Haitian or Somalis or the Nepalis fault that they cannot build a successful society, but that it is due to Western colonization and racism. They attempt to remedy that by importing them into successful societies because surely they will build robust communities in the West. Unfortunately, all they do is bring the miseries, failures, and pathologies of their homelands here. Just look at Western Europe if you need proof

"Propaganda " is indeed accurate. I had no idea that much work went into an article like this, impressive. Next they'll say "Chris Rufo explains detailed analysis, but we can confirm it does not prove that *HAITIANS* were cooking a cat". All of this dismissal and little work from ABC can be summed up as - because Trump.

In the 1950's, in Indiana high school basketball, it wasn't an unsual to see the

home town coach having a cigar with the referree coach before the game. What came next

was no surprise.

Its time to stop playing nice. Any Republican that goes on ANY Elite media program

has got to fight back. Its time to fact check, live, the FAKE fact checkers.

Remember these people are stupid and lazy. There are only a couple of things they care about:

-hairspray and make up look good

- Towing the DNC line

- Getting invited to the right parties

- Advancing their careers

However none of these people can think their way out of a paperbag. When they LIE we need to defend the truth as well as call them what they are - DNC operatives.

We can have our way with these people seven days a week and twice on Sunday if we are up to the battle.

Time to sharpen the elbows.

There is a reason why the radio and TV stations are the first to be taken over in a coup d'état. Thought is what is portrayed by those who control the media, it is the opioid of the masses. In the U.K. the BBC badge up their reports with “Verify”, but who guards the guards! It is right to challenge those who claim the authenticity of their reporting. Once again well done Christopher Rufo you challenged the wisdom of mass migration without regard to religiosity, ethnicity, norms and values. Likewise in the U.K. animal rights activists disrupt traditional legitimate field sports but do and say nothing over halal slaughter without pre-stunning of 24m animals per annum!

This is real journalistic work, and I appreciate it - I do not wish to be involved in falsity. You and your people have meticulously presented your reporting - including its limits.

Corporate media has also a secondary echo/amplification layer - men such as Chait, Yglesias, Jilani, Hasan and others who also do no journalism whatever, but amass "followers" and curate "facts" and "construct narratives." Their function is to "sell" the faction, party and ideology of the clique who have gained control of the ruling institutions of the state. This includes the smearing and denigration of dissenters.

Naturally, the clique or faction regards itself as synonymous with Democracy: "Our Democracy."

We mere citizens don't hate the lickspittle news media nearly enough.

I'm afraid as they lose more and more audience to subscription-based journos who, like our intrepid Mr. Rufo here, dare to contradict the groupthink, their lying will become more transparent and desperate as they come to rely exclusively on cash injections from globalist billionaires.

Remember when CNN tried the online subscription model? How long did it last? A week?
