Whiny kike journalist (((Kurt Eichenwald))) says online Trump supporter gave him an epileptic attack

HOW DONALD TRUMP SUPPORTERS ATTACK JOURNALISTS

Shortly after I wrote an article for Newsweek about how Donald Trump’s business interests could undermine national security should he be elected president, one of his supporters assaulted me. He used the internet to do it.

Throughout my adulthood, I have never made a secret of the fact that I have epilepsy. It’s better controlled now than it has been during other parts of my life, but not completely—my neurologist tells me I have intractable epilepsy, meaning treatment will never bring the condition fully under control. I know how people—particularly children—with seizures suffer when uninformed idiots suggest they should impose limits of their lives or quell their aspirations. So when Fox News blowhard and college dropout Sean Hannity practically drooled in delight this election season as he falsely proclaimed that Hillary Clinton suffered from seizures based on her acting goofy in a short video clip, it infuriated me. I knew how his message would be heard—people with seizures look ridiculous, they should be afraid of others laughing at them, they should listen to the voices telling them they can’t do what they want (even be president). And so I raged at Hannity in the pages of Newsweek, on cable television news shows and on Twitter.

A couple of weeks later, after my article about how Trump’s business interests would create a conflict of unprecedented proportions, I received a tweet from someone with the twitter handle “Mike's Deplorable AF.” Like many Trump supporters, he has chosen to identify himself as deplorable to mock the label once used by Clinton to describe the racists, neo-Nazis, homophobes and like who have crawled out of the sewer to cheer for the Republican nominee. Mike, however, is indeed deplorable.

In his tweet, which has since been deleted, Mike made mention of my seizures and included a small video. It contained images of Pepe the Frog, a cartoon character that has been identified by the Anti-Defamation League as a hate symbol. I was carrying my iPad, looking at the still image on the video and, without thinking, touched the PLAY button.

The video was some sort of strobe light, with flashing circles and images of Pepe flying toward the screen. It’s what’s called epileptogenic—something that triggers seizures. Fortunately, since I was standing, I simply dropped my iPad to the ground the second I realized what Mike had done. It landed face down on the bathroom floor.

The deplorables are real. The deplorables are dangerous.

Because I have written critically about Trump, I have received innumerable death threats, sometimes just general invocations that I should die, sometimes more specific threats that I should be shot or “lynched,” as one Trump fan wrote. I have been called “kike,” “Jew” and “anti-American Zionist,” even though I’m Episcopalian with a Jewish father (as if that makes a difference). I have received video cartoons that look like they are from Nazi Germany of hook-nosed men dressed in Jewish garb rubbing their hands greedily over piles of money. I have been told to go back where I came from, whatever that means. I have been called “fag,” “pedo,” and once—in an email that made no sense—“nigger-lover.” One Trump fan mentioned he knew which schools my children attended, and correctly named them. Topping it off, some Trump fans have even gone after one of my sons online, although he knew enough to immediately block them.

My family has been through this before—it is sometimes a consequence of writing about controversial topics—but this is the first time we have discussed whether I should continue investigating an issue. All of them agreed I should stay on this story— since Trump won’t release much information about himself, digging up everything that can be found before the election is important for the country. But why is this even a discussion? We do not live in a third-world nation where journalists who report unpleasant realities are in danger. While I believe that most of these threats—except for Mike’s—are from internet blowhards, why does my family even have to wonder about this? And why am I convinced that, just by writing this article, Mike will get lots of new Twitter followers and praise from profoundly evil people?

I am far from the only journalist exposed to the bottom-feeders among Trump supporters who traffic in violence, threats, racism and anti-Semitism. In a tweet, Charles Blow, an African-American columnist for the New York Times who has been harshly critical of Trump both in the newspaper and on television, told me he is bombarded with racist fury through email. Katie Tur of NBC reported in an article in Marie Claire that she had to be escorted out of a Trump rally in December by Secret Service to protect her from raging Trump supporters who had sicced on her by their candidate. She was also the primary subject of a death threat two weeks later on Twitter.

“MAYBE A FEW JOURNALISTS DO NEED TO BE WHACKED,” the tweet from someone with the handle GuyScott33 read. “MAYBE THEN THEYD STOP BEI[N]G BIASED HACKS. KILL EM ALL STARTING W/ KATY TUR.”

There are more. According to the Daily Beast, Bethany Mandel, a conservative essayist who has written about her opposition to Trump, had been so violently attacked on social media that she felt compelled to purchase a gun for protection. Jeffrey Goldberg, national correspondent for The Atlantic, received an email telling him he would be sent to “a camp” when Trump wins. After she published an article in GQ about Melania Trump, Julia Ioffe, a Jewish journalist, received death threats by phone and email, and tweets showing vile images such as an anti-Semitic caricature of a Jewish man on his knees being shot in the back of the head; she filed a police report. Jonathan Weisman, deputy Washington editor of the New York Times, tweeted a link to a Washington Post opinion piece that was harshly critical of the Trump phenomenon. The vicious attacks on Weisman, who is Jewish, came quickly.

“Get used to it you fucking kike,’’ tweeted one of the deplorables who goes by the handle “deplorable basket weave.” “You people will be made to pay for the violence and fraud you've committed against us.”

This is not an unavoidable consequence of a contentious political campaign. This is exceptional, a circumstance brought about by the gutter rants of Donald Trump and his refusal to condemn the racists, neo-Nazis and other deplorables who support him. That our country has reached this point, where the line between modern American political supporters and Hitler’s brownshirts is becoming thinner by the day, is unacceptable. That GOP candidates have stood by and allowed this ugliness to flourish without aggressively condemning their candidate for what he has set loose, simply because they are seeking re-election or fear losing their jobs at the mid-terms, will stain the Republican Party for decades.
I write this knowing that it will spur more vile and violent online attacks on me. I have warned my children and my wife to be extra careful. And now that I have revealed how easy it is to inflict an injury on me, until this election is over, I will not be pushing PLAY on any unsolicited video I receive. It’s simply too dangerous.

How long before Jews start having heart attacks because of cartoon frogs?

I mean seriously, they are at THE VERY TOP OF THE SOCIAL LADDER and they still complain about being discriminated against.

Oh nevermind, that wasn't me. I did spam the fuck out of this kike with seizure gifs though

You're a fuckin' legend, user.

wew I might have epilepsy.

yeah m8 read it all the way through first

...

Targeting kike journalists is, by far, the best way to exert your spamming energies, since they will ALWAYS reply with a full article describing how they were literally shoa'd and how the Holocaust 2.0 is happening on the internet.

Shame they didn't give him a heart attack

nice work

INDISPUTABLE PROOF THAT THE BUSH FAMILY SUPPORTED NAZI GERMANY AND FUNDED HITLER

How convenient.

Jeb! will have his revenge

Wasn't this the guy that said that he has a bigass scoop that is going to blow Trump the fuck out, just a month ago?

What is it with women, jews, niggers, and liberals and never admitting they're retarded and at fault? All liberals do is absolve themselves of all personal fault and guilt in any and all actions.

Reddit spacing.

very nice. saved

I hope I've triggered you lads

It's three completely different thoughts unrelated to each other. Reddit Spacing is a sentence per double space line.

I'll show you reddit spacing .

This is reddit Spacing.

Like this lady.

Get it?

It's also a forced CTR D&C tactic. Filtered, reported.

You seem very knowledgeable about reddit, perhaps you'd like to stay.

report this shill

This. I've been seeing this shill's exact copy/paste post in several other threads.
It's just another splitting hairs tactic to distract from actual discussion.

Low confidence, it's like a badge of honor to be disabled cause those gibs make you a cool as fuck progressive socialist.

On places with comment history, the most vehement leftists also have a history of bragging about their disability. It's very odd.

meme it

I'm physically disabled… From a trauma that nearly got my leg amputated. You know what I did? Worked past it and am a stronk, independent shitlord who don't need no gibs.

THANK YOU BASED MIKE

Nice rare pepe m8

There really isn't anything a Jew won't whine about, is there?

After all of what we've seen I'd say no.

HOW CAN WE KNOW IT WAS YOU WHEN WE ARE ALL ANONS?!

KEK


Nice work, even though I think the jew is exaggerating. We should do this more often in case he is being truthful.

Frogs

Was that the assault weapon used?

Reminder that this clown wrote this:

"The saddest thing about media BS braying on Clinton Foundation. It really does great things. And if it shuts down, real people will die."

OMG STOP BASHING THE CLINTON FOUNDATION! PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DIE IF IT SHUTS DOWN! THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

Your like some kind of internet hitman. Please don't target me user.

Also, could you post your seizure pepe?

from mysterious suicidal gunshot wounds in the back of the head

how does autism make you lose your leg?

Will someone please find that 1488 police car footage?

I know it was in the chimpout livestream that took place on July 8th, early in the morning, on no thief's stream.

(checked)

MEME IT! RIGHT WING STROBE SQUADS!!

Trump didn't cause this, the kikes did. Trump's just the candidate that was most favored by nationalists and they ought to hope that he wins because if he doesn't this pressure will build further and they will not enjoy it when the dam finally bursts.

Cheers user. You did good.

(checked)

I hope he loses his sight and shits himself tonight. Fucking faggot journalist kike blaming the user when he could have chose to not open his epileptic pepe.

xD

BAN ASSAULT GIFS

BAN ASSAULT FROGS!!!

You guys might be too new to remember this, but the best raid we ever did in my opinion was the raid on the epilepsy forums back in 2008. Shit was amazing. Vid related.

What's the Yiddish for "talk shit, get hit"? Because it sounds to me like this Smugenburg had this little digital horsewhipping coming for a long time.


Hmmm, sounds like someone from sump of the internet ebaumsworld to me. They're dangerous people.


Damn user. That is one nasty gif. Still blinking away the after-images a minute later. Good work.


His doctors were able to use a revolutionary experiment technique using directed normions to chase the autismosomes into an extremity for safe amputation. It's all very high-tech.


That third image. When "I, Clavdivs" was made in the 70s this was seen as the nadir of freakish insane degeneracy. Now it's just a typical sight in the big city.

I was there lad.

Tfw began shitposting career in 07
Tfw forever a newfag

Good to see some oldfags still among us. Glad you're here user.

(heil)

(triple heil)

It would appear that Kek is truly pleased with the sending of stroboscopic missives to the lugenpresse. The loss of control of control over basic bodily functions by those who pride themselves on being high brow types who work with mind rather than hand (not like those dirty goyim) is an irony which amuses Him.


"Pepe Pond: License to Shitpost" digits indicate this is apt.

The epilepsy raid even trickled into 7. Though I can't remember if that was pre/post Hal Turner fun.
The Myspace inter-chan times though….fun times.

t. 7chan oldfag from across Chan Street. (pic not related, yet smug)

I know that feel.

How the fuck did Holla Forums attract you losers? A raid on a forum for people with epilepsy. How low can you get?


Don't give a shit about the kike in the OP. This isn't Holla Forums.

shoo shoo christcuck

Someone tweet him that they make glasses for that. I don't have twatter….

You weren't there, you will never understand, and no one will ever care about your moralfaggotry.

You have no power here.

Was around since 08. You were an edgy little gay cunt then, and you're one now.

I bet you posted in gore threads, thinking you're a big boy. You should use that edge and kill yourself already.

Oh look, the faggots that got BTFO in are trying to infest this thread now.

Apparently, this kike made a career writing about how bad goyim make him, and other chosen, have epileptic seizures pic an link related.

Good.

Fuck the Kikes

He's a fucking pedo too

If anyone has been keeping a list the past year of these shitbags, post it. I'm going to start making time to end some of this faggotry.

Jesus, what a whiny twat.

This is where we are people, those who are statistically far more likely to suffer impairment of their reason can't suffer "discrimination" because that would make us big meanie poopoo heads.

Next they'll want the guy with parkinsons running the fucking dragline at the coal mine.

WE SHALL KILL THEM ALL WITH FITS OF PEPELEPSY!

Holla Forums is still a nancy compared to what real Holla Forumstards and /i/nsurgents were back then. Kek would be proud if /i/ were still on niggertits, though a significant portion has probably aged its way into Holla Forums

If Holla Forums is chaotic good, then /i/ was chaotic neutral, atleast up until (((anonymous))) coopted its way in with chanology and all that other sjw garbage.

tweet these at him, but try to be sneaky about it

kek!

Yeah, shoe on head, raiding terrible games with niggers, and DDOSing scriptkiddies was so great. Take off the nostalgia goggles. It wasn't that great.

One job, famalamadingdong.

heh, also >reddit spacing

Did somebody say epilepsy!?

Is it just me or is that gif messed up?

Well, we all know what to do now.

Noice.

fuckin kek!

Lmao ofcourse he has those typical saggy jew eyelids. Also

Good job, user.

You know, if I had epilepsy and couldn't figure out how to disable anything animated on my computer… I'm pretty sure I'd just stay off the Internet entirely knowing a Party Hard gif could kill me.

Fun fact, epileptics are advised not to work in factories that possess conveyor belts because the repetitive nature of a pattern moving in a consistent fashion can trigger a seizure.

One might be able to achieve the same result with something like these.

Call a Jew a Jew and he shrinks in horror: the article

reminder

What is your source for those? The second one doesn't even have a labeled y-axis.

polls, from single threads so no duplicate answers

What kind of (((polls)))?

psychopathy and empathy polls

...

Have a medal, you stupid jew.

Remember the Sony leaks? Some of the most powerful people in the world were sending emails back and forth larping as WW2 work camp internees.

This story is a response to twitter hammering him on his pedofaggotry. Of course he leaves that part out of it, and random nazis just started sending him epileptic pepes for no reason because muh anti-semitism.


Now he's at least admitting it, he was trying to get away with being just "Episcopal" in his tweets. "Episcopal" is a direct quote. Have you ever heard an Episcopalian call themselves that?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Eichenwald#Career_at_The_New_York_Times
In 2005, Eichenwald wrote a group of articles about online child pornography. One of those articles was about Justin Berry, a then-18-year-old who was selling pornographic images and videos of himself both as a minor and as an adult, creating and selling pornography involving other minors and adults. Eichenwald stated in testimony before Congress that his contact with Berry began as an effort by him, his wife, and his minister to rescue someone who seemed like a child in danger. He stated that it was only a month later, when Berry contacted him saying he wanted to expose the child pornography business, that he began reporting on the story. This led to criticism because, during the time Eichenwald was working to rescue Berry, he—along with his wife and minister—decided to pretend they were Berry's customers and use money to convince him to identify himself. Once Eichenwald began reporting, he demanded repayment because of the potential conflict of interest. However, Eichenwald only asked for $2,000 that was paid by check to be returned; he later stated he did not remember another $1,100 was paid through PayPal. Berry did not return that money. In an October 19, 2007 interview with NPR's David Folkenflik, Eichenwald stated that, due to the severe backlash from the Justin Berry story, he felt compelled to disclose that his epilepsy had caused "severe memory disruptions" and that he had a "deeply unreliable memory for names, facts and events" which he compensated for by his "meticulous reporting methods."

Don't fall for the judenbait and start sending random people seizure gifs. It's a trap.

...

there is no innocence. you are either with us or against us.

...

no, actually caring implies that you have a high empathy and low affective score


this is not caring, this is just criminal insanity, below nigger level

Kurt, you have to admit your behavior in the Justin Berry case was kind of suspicious. Just sayin'.

"Captured from Eichenwald's testimony, this narrative holds that Eichenwald didn't consider himself a reporter when he contacted Berry. He didn't consider himself a reporter when he sent Berry money. He didn't consider himself a reporter when he flew to Los Angeles to meet Berry. He didn't consider himself a reporter even when he told Berry he worked for the New York Times. But presto chango, he was a reporter as soon as Berry decided he wanted out of porn. "
