Just yesterday NBC News broadcasted a report by Miguel Almaguer about the attack on Paul Pelosi
In the report, Almaguer, says the following:
“The 82-year-old did not immediately
declare an emergency or tried to leave his home, but instead began walking
several feet back into the foyer toward the assailant and away from police.
It’s unclear if the 82-year-old was already injured or what his mental state
was, say sources.”
“Why Pelosi didn’t try to flee or tell
responding officers he was in distress is unclear.”

Within hours the report was taken down
with an editor’s note claiming that “This piece has been
removed from publication because it did not meet NBC News reporting standards”
The tweets about the report were also
deleted

So what did happen?
According to a federal affidavit, David DePape broke into Pelosi’s San Francisco residence on October 28th claiming he wanted to speak with Nancy Pelosi, and eventually attacked her husband with a hammer.
In
a San Francisco Court filing, Prosecutors claim that after police reached
the residence, Pelosi walked with the attacker to the first floor of his house
and opened the door for them.
The two struggled over the hammer in
front of the officers at the doorway before the suspect bludgeoned him, the
filing said.
"One officer ordered, 'Drop the
hammer!'" the filing said.
"But Mr. Pelosi could not
maintain his grip on the hammer. A second later, Defendant wrenched the hammer
away from Mr. Pelosi, immediately stepped back, and lunged at Mr. Pelosi,
striking Mr. Pelosi in the head at full force with the hammer, which knocked
Mr. Pelosi unconscious."
The filing added that Pelosi passed
out briefly and started to bleed from his head before medical help arrived.
But that
didn't happen.
What do we know of the attacker?
DePape is from Canada and was in the
United States illegally.
DePape was known locally in Berkeley
as a pro-nudity activist. a drug consumer and for having a violent temper.
DePape faces
state charges including attempted murder, burglary, and elder abuse. Federal prosecutors charged DePape with attempted
kidnapping and assault with intent to retaliate against a federal official
by threatening or injuring a family member.
DePape has
pleaded not guilty.
Drew Hammill, Pelosi's
spokesperson said that Paul was taken to a hospital where underwent “successful surgery to repair a skull fracture and
serious injuries to his right arm and hands."
There were open questions about the
attack?
U.S. Capitol Police said that the Speaker and her protective detail were
in Washington, D.C. when the incident occurred.
This contradicts the claim that the
Pelosi residence always has some security and police presence, irrespective of
who is indoors.

The other obvious question is why
would a violent attacker accompany Pelosi to the front door where the police
were knocking?
The claim made was that Paul had
surgery to repair a
skull fracture and other serious injuries. Yet he was released from
the hospital six days after being attacked? The recovery seems miraculous, especially
for an 82-year-old.
Some of these doubts and questions
could be answered if the police release their body cam footage or footage of
security cameras at the Pelosi residence.
Despite the police saying the motive
behind the attack remains unclear, the Democrats and the media rushed
to baselessly blame President Donald Trump and MAGA
Republicans.
Biden denounced a corrosive political
climate for contributing to violence and baselessly claimed the attack
appeared to be “intended for Nancy.”

Obama also suggested that the attack
was politically motivated.

Failed Presidential Candidate Hillary
Clinton blamed the Republicans and its mouthpieces for spreading hate and
conspiracy theories.

Various Democrat mouthpieces such
as The
Washington Post, The
New York Times, Vanity
Fair, Vox,
and Rolling
Stone, joined and blamed the GOP.
Miguel
Almaguer’s report on NBC News could have disturbed the narrative, hence
was summarily removed.
This
has been done before when the Democrat narrative is challenged.
A
report from CBS News revealed that of the billions in aid that the U.S.
dispatches to Ukraine, only 30% of it reaches its intended target.
Once
again this was a violation of the Democrat narrative of the US helping
Ukrainians in need.
Hence,
CBS deleted
its report and tweets linked to the report.
So what does one make of these
retractions?
Does the mainstream media have a
Democrat bias?
Alleging bias assumes that the
mainstream media and the Democrats separate entities and the Democrats are
influencing the media.
But this is not true.
For ages, the mainstream media has
functioned as a propaganda wing of the Democrats. Despite not being officially
employed by the DNC, the media is like a department within the Democrat party
organization.
There is perfect synchronicity between
their utterances.
They even use identical terminology
while covering any given occurrence.
Words
such as ‘collusion’ or ‘insurrection’, didn’t catch on miraculously.
An
adept Democrat wordsmith supplied these terms and the media propagandists assiduously repeated them till
they became de facto terminology.
This
is an echo chamber where only synchronous chimes are permitted. Doubts, deviations,
or questions are forbidden, especially now when the media is campaigning
for the Democrats.
These
propagandists no longer even care to even pretend to be objective or fair.
This
is how they covered Joe Biden’s speech a few days back that where he implied
that a vote against Democrats is a vote against Democracy in the US.
But instead, the claim received complete
endorsements.

If the
campaign seems coordinated and vicious, wait till the GOP retakes the House and
the Senate.
The dehumanization
and demonization of the GOP have already begun.
Recall how
they reacted when Donald Trump won the presidency in 2016 and multiply it
myriad times.
When there is
no scandal, these propagandists merely invent one that could give them grounds
to deny the results.
They will work
closely with the Biden administration and politized agencies. They may manage
to initiate probes and investigations similar to the January 6th probe
or the Trump-Russia probe.
The media will assume the role of political opposition and become compulsive contrarians at every stage.
The question
remains is the GOP, tough, resolute, principled, and resourceful enough to on
these nefarious forces
Will they be reactive
or proactive or will they capitulate?
Will they be doers
or spectators?
We shall know
in January 2023.
