[ April 19, 2024 ]
In a vicious attack piece posted here, CNN is trying to smear John Bolton by association with me. But look how far back they have to go, and how low they have to stoop, to do it:
Bolton would make his first brief appearance on Geller’s video blog in June 2006 while serving in the UN post, where he told Geller he was trying to keep UN bureaucrats from making decisions for the American people.Bolton appeared on Geller’s “Atlas on the Air” Internet radio show in November 2007, speaking for nearly an hour to promote his book at time, though the interview evolved into a wide-ranging discussion on Bolton’s worldview.
This is what CNN is going with. A video blog that is nearly twelve years old, and a radio interview that is nearly ten and a half years old. A man like John Bolton does radio and television interviews nearly every day, and sometimes more than one in a day. Over the years, that amounts to hundreds upon hundreds of interviews. So why is CNN reaching back to two that aired not on a major network, but on Blog Talk Radio, over a decade ago? Not because of anything Bolton said, but because I was the host. Saul Alinsky’s 13th Rule for Radicals is “‘Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.‘ Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.”
That’s what the left has done with me for years: they picked me as a target, tore quotes from me out of context, misrepresented and lie about my positions and actions, and personalized the target by acting as if my positions were egregious and solely mine, not held by any reasonable people. This was meant to cut off my support network and isolate me from sympathy, and the cowardly conservative and Republican establishment, as always, danced to the left’s tune and threw me under the bus as well. So now that media hatchet men such as Kaczynski think they’ve fully established me as a pariah with whom no one will want to be associated, they’re trying to kill Bolton by his association with me. They defame and libel good people and then work to destroy other people with their association with the “monster.” Hence Kaczynski’s sudden interest in decade-old Blog Talk Radio segments. Are they digging into any other shows Bolton was on ten years ago? Of course not.

Another tactic that leftist smear merchants use is to present an obvious and demonstrable fact as if it were not only false but outrageous, something that no reasonable person would think. Here is a sample:
Bolton agreed with Geller that the United Nations was an anti-Semitic institution.
It isn’t? The UN’s hostility to Israel has been abundantly established and widely noted, including by Nikki Haley and President Trump. And now Kaczynski is trying to hang Bolton for agreeing with me about this obvious fact?
Bolton then said it was a problem in Europe, and that European courts were in a crisis because they don’t know how to handle Muslims who argue “Sharia should apply to Muslims and some other law should apply to everybody else.”
European courts aren’t in a crisis? There is no problem in Europe?
“I think the Europeans are more at risk than we are. But uh, but I, I acknowledge this is a, this is a question we’re going to have to face in the coming decades as well.”
And we have. There have already been controversies regarding the role of sharia in American courts. Bolton was prescient.
In 2009, Bolton did a 23-minute long sit down appearance with Geller on her video blog where he said he disagreed with comments by Mitt Romney, in response to a question by Geller, that jihadism is not part of Islam.
It isn’t?
When Kaczynski contacted me for comment, it was clear he only wanted to tighten the Geller noose around Bolton’s neck. This vicious leftist propagandist refused, of course, to publish any of the answers I gave to his leading questions. Here is my exchange with the man whom Melanie Morgan calls “CNN’s resident smear merchant” (see here and here for a full exposé of Kaczynski’s vicious hatred and dishonesty):
CNN inquiry on Bolton questions

To: Pamela Geller
Hello Pamela,
Happy Friday and I hope you are doing well.
I’m working on putting together an article on John Bolton’s association with you. Saw he went on your radio show/Vlog 4 times, I think. Does this sound correct to you or are there additional times?
As far as I can tell you’ve been a Bolton booster since 2005, did your relationship extend earlier than that?
Could you explain how it came about that Bolton ended up writing your book’s foreword?
Thanks!

CNN aired lies about me and my work on Don Lemon’s show. Are you going to add more now?
Among the long list of lies, I never called all Muslims savages, never said Obama was a Muslim, never said he was working to impose Sharia in the U.S.
I have been the target of multiple assassination plots by jihadists here in the USA.
I demand a retraction, and airtime to correct the record.

Among the long list of lies, I never called all Muslims savages, never said Obama was a Muslim, never said he was working to impose Sharia in the U.S.
I have been the target of multiple assassination plots by jihadists here in the USA. Please send me your coverage to the Boston beheading trial of Daoud Wright or the ongoing trial of Erick Jamal.
I hope you’ll highlight my work helping Muslims in desperate, life-threatening situations to safety because of their decisions to live a free life.
I demand a retraction, and airtime to correct the record.

This isn’t going anywhere but the questions are:
1.) did your relation with the ambassador extend before 2005
2.) did he appear on your blog/radio show more than 4 times.
3.) how did the book foreword come about.
If you could please either answer these specific questions are point to where you did i would appreciate it.
So far you have only aired past complaints about CNN.
Thank you.

1. Why 2005? Was it in 2005 that CNN decided that opposing jihad terror and Sharia oppression was worse than jihad terror and Sharia oppression itself? Is it worse for Bolton if he knew me before 2005 rather than only after that?
2. Why four times? Has CNN decided that if Bolton appears on a show that opposes jihad mass murder four times, it’s bad, but not nearly as bad as if he appeared five times?
3. What exactly did Bolton write in the Foreword that you find so objectionable? Have you even read it? Have you read the book? Or are you relying on earlier defamatory libel jobs by your colleagues as you prepare your new libels?

You call yourself a “journalist,” yet you refuse to accept the answers that your targets give to your loaded, leading “when-did-you-stop-beating-your-wife”-style questions? Do you have any integrity at all? Have you no decency left? When did you decide to become an enabler of jihad terror and the crushing of women’s rights and gay rights under sharia? What made you decide to devote your life to destroying the people who are trying to defend free societies and free people?
If you decide these questions are worth answering, you know where to reach me.

How smarmy.
I have never heard of Kascynski but “the questions” are definitely not worth answering.
If you want to watch CNN die, see poor, pouty, victim-bully Andy Cooper interview Playboy model Mcdougall.
What a disgrace.
What.

Disgrace.
Andy Cooper is the victim-bully who everyone at CNN must answer to and report for the approval of, and that’s the story of the death of CNN.
And poor, pouty, holier-than-Holy Andy Cooper remains so pure and high and blameless on his inherited gilded throne of self-righteousness.
CNN is as sad as it gets.

To Pamela’s fans, this is red meat stuff, but beyond her fans, these statements don’t travel well. And I have at least some understanding (and sympathy for) her bitterness at how she is portrayed in MM, where they are basically trying to entrap her. Nevertheless, her combatative style inevitably leads directly to these unproductive exchanges where people like Kascynski can say she refused comment (well being Pamela, she commented, but still didn’t answer the questions).
Whatever she does, the game is rigged against her. Pamela will not be given a fair hearing by the likes of CNN, so understandably she reacts with, “why play a game with a stacked deck?”. But I am convinced she pays a substantial price for not playing- if nothing else, exchanges like those I quoted make her appear hostile , uncooperative, and unable to project a coherent message. I think she should “chill” a bit and wait for better opportunities to reach a wider audience.

If the CNN article was intended as a hit job, it failed, IMO. It actually provides the links to some very interesting Atlas interviews and a wealth on information on Bolton’s background and his qualifications. I am really impressed by what an “amateur” journalist who was more informed than what passes these days for journalists, was able to accomplish.
I’m fully aware of the leftist response to Bolton and Trump as “the worst of the worst” and the smearing of anyone who is critical of Islam or the regressiveness of the Muslim world, as being bigoted. I know the intention is to smear by association, and that the majority of liberals I know are people with self righteous opinions, absolutely no knowledge, and a refusal to learn anything. I know how obnoxious all that is but the fact that CNN included links to Bolton’s interviews IMO is a positive. If people have any degree of openmindedness there is a lot they could learn.

Pamela Geller’s readers will not throw her under the bus as the majority of intelligent people know her site atlasshrugs is based on fact and not fiction like CNN.
CNN take the truth and twists it and contorts it hoping no one will notice their hypocrisy. Too late we noticed.
Everyone sees what’s going on around the world Muslims in France murdering Jews, Muslims in killing people at the Boston Marathon, we see the agenda of the left to smear and confuse people.
Who would CNN like to see President Trump appoint instead of John Bolton a left-wing pro-terrorist Farrakhan or maybe Jew hater Amal Clooney or how about her phone Hollywood husband George?
Get lost CNN no one believes your biased bullsh_t anymore.
Chag Sameach! Life is good now that we have President Trump for a while!

“I’m concerned with being as accurate as possible”
He never went NEAR the attempts on your life, you’d think that would be good for ratings.
Why is he asking you questions he could be asking Bolton?
Pam, you’re punching back, but there’s nothing behind your punches. They are willing to stoop low? Are you? Turn the tables on him, research him, he’s a spineless media C-.
Who the F- is he to rule the interview? He’s a paid for propaganda prostitute, bought and sold. He is nothing without guests, nothing without putting them down.

Once again Pam Geller shows she is on to the sleazy tricks of the leftist fake news media. I liked the appointment of Bolton and now I like it much more. It would even be better if Trump would appoint Pam Geller to a position on National security in the White House as an assistant to Bolton.

Ms. Geller has this nob gobbler nailed; his questions were nothing but a means of establishing a relationship w/a known “islamophobe” with Bolton to smear him by association.
Is there anyway to have CNN’s FCC license revoked on the grounds that they’re no longer a news organisation but an islamic propaganda outlet?
