It’s a cookbook.

…and that’s ALL ye’ need to know…

“It’s true Maher was not working in journalism when she posted the controversial messages. In fact, she’s never worked in journalism, which is very obviously the bigger problem when examining someone’s fitness to run a public news network with over 1000 member stations. Maher’s been a WEF global leader, board member at Signal, banking manager at HSBC, a member of the Foreign Affairs Policy Board (FAPB) at the State Department, a fellow at the Truman National Security Project — pretty much everything but a journalist. The closest thing to a journalism job Maher held was chief communications officer at Wikimedia. In newsrooms such people are called flacks.”

By now it’s probably known that her father was with Goldman, Sachs and her mother is a Connecticut state senator (Democrat, of course) representing very rich towns like Westport, Darien, New Canaan, and Wilton. If Katherine Maher ever heard any opinions different from her own she may never have taken them seriously.

Ah yes, she is one of the CT Gold Coasters. There is an interesting electoral factoid about the CT Gold Coast. From the 2012 to the 2016 Presidential elections, the Democrat share of CT’s vote fell 3.6% (58.1% to 54.5%). The CT Gold Coast Towns, Wilton included, bucked this trend. For example, in Maher’s hometown of Wilton, Hillary’s vote was 13.1% higher than Obama’s. Here are the five CT towns with the highest Hillary vs. Obama percentages.

Darien 18.5%
New Canaan 17.9%
Weston 13.5%
Wilton 13.1%
Greenwich 13.1%

Here are their ranks in CT per capita income.

2 Darien
3 New Canaan
5 Weston
7 Wilton
6 Greenwich

Wealth and virtue go hand-in-hand. Wealth and wokeness.

The “principled leftist” in the link refers to Marc Cooper on Serbia/Yugoslavia/Milosevic. Marc Cooper is perhaps best known for his book, Pinochet and Me: A Chilean Memoir. Marc Cooper worked as a translator for Salvador Allende, so there is a bit 🙂 of bias in the memoir- which Cooper freely admits to. But as Cooper wrote, he is not trying to write an objective history.

To Cooper’s credit, he writes about his Pinochet-supporting Chilean in-laws, which admits to the deep divisions in Chilean society. Just as the author Isabel Allende, whose first cousin first removed (President) Salvador acted as a surrogate father of sorts to her after her father disappeared, wrote in Paula that her father-in-law and maternal grandfather were supporters of the coup against Salvador Allende.

A few years back, social media posts from “Teen Vogue” staffers (and maybe “Vogue” staffers) made the news. The diverse young staffers had a real dislike for old White males and didn’t hide their glee at the OWMs being displaced. I’d be surprised if there were that many old White males (straight or otherwise) working at “Teen Vogue,” but what stood out was the purge mentality.

The Old Bolsheviks were being ousted to make room for the young who had grown up under the new regime. Was much more than tribalism and rank careerism really involved? I think one of the staffers was Black. Another was Asian Indian, and I had the feeling that she was glomming on to somebody else’s uprising, but today’s woke revolution allows even privileged White women like Katherine Maher to feel like tribunes of the oppressed.

Tabletmag has a new article from Michael Lind:

Blue Morning.
Unchecked illegal border crossings, fading churches, disintegrating families, proliferating diversity deans, and worthless degrees will all help ensure that the American future will be largely miserable—and that the people who will inherit that future will be Democrats.

It looks worth reading.
