Jussie Smollett crying out of shame over his lies. Not.
1,223 words
The alleged “hate crime” against black actor Jussie Smollett turned out as we all expected: it was just another hoax.
To refresh everyone’s memory, Smollett – a singer and star on the black TV show Empire – claimed last month that he was assaulted by two white Trump supporters at 2 AM in downtown Chicago while it was experiencing subzero temperatures. He claimed that they asked, “Are you that Empire faggot?” and then attacked him. He said that the alleged assailants doused him with bleach and threw a noose around his neck, delivering an ominous message to him: “This is MAGA country.”
According to his own account, this all occurred while Smollett kept the Subway sandwich he was carrying safe, was talking to his manager on his cell phone, and simultaneously fought off his attackers. If we accept this, Smollett is apparently the real Black Panther.
Any sensible person knew this was a hoax from the start, this writer included. The whole thing seemed ripped from a bad episode of Law & Order. What diehard Trump supporters would recognize Smollett and know that he’s gay? Who conveniently happens to have bleach and a noose with them at 2 AM, in downtown Chicago of all places? Who would claim that the extremely liberal Chicago is “MAGA country”? How did Smollett protect his sub during this whole ordeal? And unsurprisingly, he kept changing his story throughout the media saga, casting further doubt on the claim that he was telling the truth.
Last weekend, America finally got the truth. According to the two “suspects” arrested by police, Smollett paid them to stage the attack, and they even rehearsed the encounter with their “victim.” The two men aren’t white or American – they’re Nigerian. They didn’t even wear MAGA hats – they wore generic red hats from a boutique store. And one of them was Smollett’s personal trainer and had appeared on Empire.
Police speculate that Smollett orchestrated the incident after a hateful letter he “received” didn’t get enough media attention. So he decided to become a victim of a hate crime to further his ego, and to put an anti-Trump message out there as a bonus.
Smollett has yet to admit what really happened, and initially said he was angry that the attack was being treated as a possible hoax. It’s understandable why he maintained the lie for so long; the media bought it and enthusiastically promoted it, after all. One GQ column, for instance, claimed that the attack represented the “endgame” of white America. Smollett enjoyed a soft interview from ABC right as his story began to crumble last week, which of course conveyed the message that the black actor was the victim of a genuine crime.
The media wasn’t alone in this endeavor. Prominent politicians inveighed against the horrors of the attack. California Senator and Democratic presidential hopeful Kamala Harris called it a “modern-day lynching.” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tweeted that “[t]he racist, homophobic attack on @JussieSmollett is an affront to our humanity. “ (Pelosi deleted that tweet after the attack was exposed as a hoax.) And Left-wing phenom Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez insisted that Smollett’s hoax was not “possibly” a racist or homophobic attack – “it was a racist and homophobic attack.”
We shouldn’t expect any apologies or lessons learned from these journalists and politicians. The mainstream media is already spinning away its role in promoting the hoax and falsely claiming that it covered the alleged assault with due skepticism. The media is now instead treating it as a tragedy, since it hurts all the supposed actual victims of hate. HLN host S. E. Cupp, a self-proclaimed “conservative,” argued that:
The giddiness among Trumpsters over the Smollett news is gross. This story is awful. He allegedly abused police resources, exploited raw divisions in this country, and made it harder for every victim of a hate crime to report. This is sad no matter your politics.
Cupp added in a later tweet:
You can argue all you want that the Jussie story is vindication for Trump. That’s part of the story. But what he actually did is set a movement back. If you’re worried about race, gender, sex, trans threats . . . this imperils them all. That’s the important takeaway, not politics.
There was a real crime and a real victim in this story: Smollett and his media enablers committed a hate crime against white Americans.
The whole purpose of this hoax was to stoke anti-white hatred and portray every Trump supporter as a potential hate criminal. If you’re non-white, it would be reasonable for you to view whites with more suspicion and animosity after hearing the initial reports of what happened to Smollett. That’s the proper impression the Left wants non-whites to have. They want them to hate whitey, and hate hoaxes help the cause. When the GQ writer claimed the hate crime was white America’s endgame, it revealed the Left’s endgame: the disenfranchisement of whites.
To further this goal, the elites need Americans to believe white men are the real threat to the country. In this narrative, they’re committing all the hate crimes, terror attacks, and mass shootings, thus we need to take things away from them and reduce them to servile status.
In this view, more laws need to be enacted to tackle the “epidemic” of hate crimes, of course. Gun control, for example, must be passed to take weapons away from whites. The media needs to censor offensive viewpoints, such as the idea that immigration restrictions are necessary and that “it’s okay to be white,” so that hate doesn’t spread. In fact, the state needs to create hate speech laws so that whites don’t offend all the noble minorities. Too many whites in one area is a serious problem, so they need Section 8 housing and refugee resettlement to counter their bigotry through enforced diversity. And wearing a MAGA hat threatens minorities and justifies any attack against a person who does so – you know, for self-defense purposes. You don’t want to be the next Jussie Smollett, right?
As I wrote previously, this will not be the last hate hoax perpetrated by the media to stoke anti-white hatred. The media doesn’t even require actual crimes to further their overall agenda any longer. A white merely smirking at a non-white justifies white dispossession in their eyes.
The consequences for perpetrating hate hoaxes are too insignificant to dissuade future frauds. Smollett may indeed face legal penalties for what he did, but none of the journalists or politicians who colluded with him in the deception will pay a price for broadcasting and reinforcing this lie to the general public. They’ll claim that the attack fit the hateful climate, so they were easily duped. Thus, there’s no reason to reflect on why they were so wrong.
The good news is that millions of average white Americans had already seen through the bullshit and are thus less likely to be susceptible to future tall tales. They’ve seen this story play out a thousand times before, and they know deep down that there’s something insidious in these hoaxes, and that it’s weird anti-white sentiments which rise to the fore in these cases.
If the media lied to you about this attack and blamed your entire race for it, what message does the average white person take from this affair?
It’s the little things that wake people up. Always remember that.

“The good news is that millions of average white Americans had already seen through the bullshit”
The vast majority of white Americans know that it is all bullshit and the “white-liberals” category even more so than the average white. The white liberals are in fact those most acutely aware about the social-mental retard and dysfunction of the blacks and they are those most worried about the possibility of this problem leading to a reaction form fed-up whites, a reaction which in turn will trigger counter-reprisals from blacks, and in the end full blown civil strife.
The more aware and more worried the liberals are the more will they hysterically press with their “believing in the palpably not true” so as to excuse and uplift the blacks (or other groups at stake) and to divert the flow of angst into accusing the whites. It is all for a noble cause, in their mind, and also something they think as absolutely necessary, or else disaster will follow.
That’s how America has been working since always. That’s how it has dealt with the problem of non-white immigrants (or even the waves of white immigrants at the turn of the 19th/20th century, since many were of bad quality and/or coming from non-western cultures) and of course with its own unassimilable blacks.
“which in turn will trigger counter-reprisals from blacks, and in the end full blown civil strife”
Well, the “counter reprisals” have been going on, and escalating, for years. If the all the whites injured or killed by blacks, even in a month, lived in the same town it would be a pogrom – except this pogrom is never-ending.
What’s missing, what’s become almost inconceivable, is whites fighting back.
[not one of the] politicians who colluded with Snollett in the deception will pay a price for broadcasting and reinforcing this lie to the general public.
I’m not so pessimistic, and responsibility partly lies on us to keep Smollett’s deep ties to Kamala Harris (whose husband, like Smollett, is Jewish), Cory Booker, and the Obamas in the public consciousness in the months and year leading into election season. And beyond.
Harris didn’t just support Smollett as a jab against white America and Trump, she aggressively used the hoax to accelerate her own “anti-lynching” bill. This has potential to be career defining, if we emphasize and expose it.
Smollett isn’t just a D-list actor. This guy is a dangerous new breed, a petri dish creation of the Hollywood-Liberal-Victim-MSM complex: a gay black Jew who has numerous social and casual photos with Michelle and Barack Obama, many at the White House, who was actively promoted and awarded for his career of anti-white “activism.” Smollett’s siblings are all connected. An actress sister was/is very close to Harvey Weinstein, and plays an SJW superhero on a TV show. Smollett was being positioned to eventually run for a political office. We can hope that he squeals. His pathological lying seemed bolstered by a mistaken belief his connections made him untouchable.
We suspect that Debbie Wasserman-Schultz has helped stage politically-fueled anti-white hoaxes, in addition to illegally surveiling Congress members. She is untouchable though. “Chosen.” Smollett personifies a severe crack in the collusion of powerful Jews with their black-Jewish liberal puppets, while exposing this network to normies. He allegedly mailed fake “anthrax” to himself using the Nigerians. That’s a federal crime. He’s going away alright, but if he fades away as the guilty, pathetic face of all that’s rotten with the globo-homo complex, that’s on whites. When David Duke is mentioned, Smollett’s name should counter it.
UPDATE: State’s attorney Kim Foxx just stunningly recused herself from the Smollett case, citing conflicts of interest due to personally knowing unidentified *witnesses.* Could this witness be Kamala Harris?
Foxx is a black SJW whose entire agenda is “diversity,” “systemic racism” and catch-and-release programs. She’s well entangled with Hollywood, her brother Stephen Anderson is also an actor in Chicago. Does she have ties to Kamala Harris? Yes. See this Chicago Mag profile from Dec 2018, a month before the Smollett hoax.
But more than any of that, it is arguably Foxx’s zest for storytelling — or more particularly, for telling her story — that has captured the attention of both her constituents and celebrities.
She now counts the rapper Common and singer John Legend as friends, and a while back, when she saw the superstar U.S. senator Kamala Harris across the room at an Emily’s List event and went over to introduce herself, Foxx had barely gotten a word out before Harris interrupted and said, “You’re Kim Foxx! I’ve been watching you.”
No hyperbole: this is snowballing into a definitive, unequalled scandal to benefit WN.
Yes, stupid Jussie Smollett is a patsy. But he is more accurately a golem from Jewish tradition. Poor Jussie is aware of this. He used the word mongrel in his ABC interview because he has probably been called that before by Jews who couldn’t resist having some fun with him.
This story was obviously ridiculous from the start. He is a disturbed little guy, to say the least. Nevertheless, I believe the purpose of this is to force us to believe what everyone knows is BS. To pretend to believe that 2+2=5.
This was a hate crime, and should be treated as such.
A hate crime against white!
Yes, if whites were to fight back then this system, and US, would collapse, and fast, catastrophically, in a civil war.
But my point was that it would not happen. The whites know the truth and precisely because they know it all too well they have decided (have always decided so, it has been going for many years, 100 at least) that in order to avoid such a scenario one has to lie and to pretend that the very opposite is true..
You don’t need to “awaken” the white-Americans to the truth, you don’t need to make them “see through” the propaganda. They are awaken, you are preaching to converts. They have always been awaken because they are the creators and supporters of these lies in which they pretend to believe. It is YOU who doesn’t understand, it is you who is a genuine fool who doesn’t get that they only pretend to be fools. They have to lie precisely because they know that the truth is the other way around and it is a very dangerous one, thus it has to be fought with all one’s might. That’s why almost nobody cared to doubt Jussie Smollett’s story, the truth of it did not matter, “we have all been lying for years anyway and that’s the very point of what we are doing. ”
I have already already given this link in the comments section of the “video of the week”( about the rise of Christianity, etc.). I give it again in case you have not seen it. It is a good read, good to realize that little has changed in 100 years, and to realize that there are the whites themselves who prop this web of lies. It is a link to an article titled “Is America American ?” written 100 years ago (1920) by Lothrop Stoddard. You can read in it about the white-Americans having that “curious form of faith which can be defined as believing in what you know it is not true and which amazes the foreign observer because he does not understand the dire necessity which impels it.”

Your comment deeply bothers me, I won’t lie, because I’ve privately pawed at this same, horrifying notion, albeit because Occam’s Razor fails to explain the collective denial of multi-millions of educated, successful whites to a corrupt, twisted anti-white (((agenda))) that darkens each passing day, across centuries.
But it’s unclear: are you then endorsing self-induced hypnotization, surrender by faux-passivity, as the preferred, the only, method of survival and counter-strategy for whites? You seem to be saying that “faith,” the unconditional embrace of goodness, was long ago predetermined and perfected for this battle. So why do you read articles critical of the anti-white Smollett scandal, if it’s “foolish” to do so? To chide?
Certainly I believe a scattering of whites in high military and alphabet positions are playing a dead serious “gentlemen’s game” against an (((agenda))). And that any verboten “tells” or leaks jeopardize this fight. Such is spycraft. And I’d bet they embrace religious faith and partly agree with your assessment. But they are the few, whereas you argue the majority of whites are “awake yet faking sleep,” and this absolutism is existential paranoia, supported by a stroll through any Wal-Mart or fairground. Yet I remain bothered by your observation.
@Clover
The Jewish-angle has been explored and elucidated by Kevin MacDonald (and others before him as for instance A.Ludovici or P.R.Stephensen who reach the same conclusions) but not even MacDonald believes that the “Jewsish-hypothesis” can fully explain how we got here. Hence, MacDonald has started now looking for flaws in the white themselves (a tendency toward ‘individualism’ and an inherited weak-ethnocentrism, a genetic bug which the whites supposedly got it during the Ice Age when they evolved and became the white-European racial-type).
In order to preserve a critical causal role, and special place in Hell, for the Jews (and to keep pouncing them despite the admitted insufficiency of the ‘Jewish-hypothesis’) MacDonald has also devised an ad-hoc ‘threshold’ over which the Jews have supposedly pushed the Western Civilization by playing upon and amplifying ( through their political activism and culture-manipulation) to the point of social-psychopathology this inherited tendency toward individualism of the whites.
It may be so but it is telling that even for MacDonald the Jews are not enough and he needs some problem/flaw with the whites themselves in order to construe a complete explanation.
“But it’s unclear: are you then endorsing self-induced hypnotization…why do you read articles critical of the anti-white Smollett scandal, if it’s “foolish” to do so? To chide? ”
I am not endorsing this hypocrisy and certainly I do not write here to chide people. I believe that the solution to a problem is logically identical with the problem posed (like in algebra, the solution to the equation 7*x=3 is x=3/7, which is a logical identity, A=A). If you don’t have yet the solution it is because you haven’t yet really understood the problem. The solution is always there “embedded” in the problem. Even when you conclude that the problem has no solutions, that the algebraic equation has no roots, that is still a good answer and a rational end of the quest.
And there practical conclusions which can be drawn from what I said. Like not wasting your time deconstructing the propaganda and explaining “race-realism”, IQ and statistics, to whites as if they are stupid or uninformed. Most of them have already a view about race which is closer to that of the readers of Daily-Stormer than to that of the refined Counter-Currents readers. Take it for granted and focus instead on the escalating costs of maintaining this hypocrisy, on the future as a minority with awaits them, a future where there will be no escape from diversity. And have mind what they fear, that is : the alternative is war. But even that could be framed as better now when whites are still a sort of majority ( 60% or so) than later.
Appreciate the thorough response, and the clarification because I misinterpreted your comment as an endorsement against discourse in favor of a “we know, shut up plebs, the war is being covertly and silently fought” assessment.
I’ve read part of Culture of Critique and am aware of the author’s X-factor internal frustration at our predictament. That said, we have been betrayed for decades by whites in power, namely the Bush and Clinton cabals, (and judging by 2019, Trump and Kushner) who have so deeply teamed with Ziocons like Rahm Emanuel and Mossad intel, (Jussie Smollett is just a useful idiot, a pop culture self-destructive node spun indirectly off this network) we are confused, besieged, by an unseen historical geopolitical coup. It’s not only an ideological fight, or a struggle against our individualist selfish nature and naive sense of fading superiority, it’s a fight against the MIC and the compromised digital systems of communication and information, a deep pocketed deprivation of truth itself.
Trump is the last time I place any hope in the federal government to remotely protect my interests and preservation, if only as a citizen. The Smollett hoax’s exposure is a small victory, but more importantly a too-late peek for whites at a mainsteam infrastructure built to deceive and destroy us. We need to mass drop out from it all, starve it of the negative attention it feasts on.
Do you regularly interact with left-leaning white normies? They absolutely believe the things that they state. The baizuo is not a super-secret Julius Streicher fan club. The idea that the typical left-leaning white woman secretly believes that, for example, blacks have both a significantly higher time preference and a one-standard-deviation-lower IQ just doesn’t map to reality. I know a number of female teachers with whom I regularly interact and with whom I have attempted to discuss racial IQ differences. And these women know well the implications of this, should their worldview crumble: namely that blacks, on average, could not be educated much past an 8th-grade level.
The level of pushback I have gotten and the profound ignorance of basic facts that have defined their very own profession for decades is frankly astonishing. They might appear to understand the reasoned arguments being made and may even promise to look up this paper by Arthur Jenson or that article by Steve Sailor. But inevitably, when we meet again a week or two later, not only do they not agree with what was discussed, they can’t even restate the most basic points that were made.
I have made some abortive dialectic inroads with hard-core leftist men. But there, too, the level of pushback, near total empirical and scientific ignorance across many fields and total, genuine belief in clear falsehoods is stRiki-Eiking.
And these are people who are by and large educated and should know better. Solving for a variable may be logically identical to another form of the equation in question. But a typical 20-something HR thot doesn’t even know what a logical identity is. And I would bet you $100 that you couldn’t reliably explain it to her in 30 minutes. You think she doesn’t truly, unquestioningly and unquestionably believe, with every string in her heart, the prevailing zeitgeist of her peer group, her employer or her television shows? If you operantly condition a dog to say woof, it’s not gonna secretly believe that you really don’t have a treat based on some algebraic axiom. Dogs don’t do metaphysics.
As a rule, in my experience, left-leaning whites absolutely believe every word of the neo-Marxist handbook. They are certainly resistant to change. And a large part of that may be self-deception. But self-deception is still deception, not perception. The idea that these people’s internal monologue secretly reads like an editorial out of Der Sturmer while they openly lie to even their closest friends and family as a matter of course is simply not plausible imo.
And it is ultimately a very dangerous idea because one logical consequence is that once the singular thing for which they are engaging in all of the lying and subterfuge ceases to exist — America’s advanced, multicultural society — they will then defect as easily as crossing the street to Starbucks, simply declaring, “Welp, at least we tried”, and pick up a BAR on behalf of the ethnostate.
The fact is they’re virtually guaranteed to become quislings, saboteurs and spies by the millions unless thoroughly deprogrammed or otherwise contained.
@Judge Holdem…
“I know a number of female teachers ….”
Rest assured, they know very well, from hands on experience, that the vast majority of blacks can not be educated much past 8th-grade level but, as Nixon had it in those secretly recorded tapes … “You have to face the fact that the whole problem is really the blacks. The key is to devise a system that recognizes this all while not appearing to”.
“very dangerous idea because one logical consequence ….”
Yes, that’s exactly what would happen ! That’s what happened in 1989 when communism fell in Est Europe. It was amazing to see how all those party members, communist activists, communist state functionaries, etc. all became overnight democrats, human rights lovers and private property defenders, etc.
The same would be in US, save some 1-3 percent of them, but they would be too few to matter.
Google not returning any hoax results for the ‘crime’ still!! I only found out because of twitter.
Also, less seriously, what kind of name is Jussie anyway?
