Mr. X

By: Scott Johnson — March 9th 2024 at 08:44
(Scott Johnson)

The current issue of the Claremont Review of Books carries the informative review of Walter Isaacson’s biography of Elon Musk by Helen Andrews. The Andrews review is relatively brief and extremely interesting. I want to single out the penultimate paragraph:

Conservatives ought to support Musk because he will need all the help he can get. The deep state has him in its crosshairs and will not stop until he is neutralized, using all the tools at its disposal. Musk is already being targeted with investigations and lawsuits, including a truly bizarre suit against SpaceX for discriminating against non-citizens in hiring. (Like all aerospace companies, SpaceX tries not to let its sensitive technologies fall into the hands of foreign governments.) Left-wing nonprofits have deliberately fomented, and in some cases fabricated, racist content on X in order to make Musk’s version of the app seem like a haven for hate speech. Preserving free speech in the run-up to the next election should be every conservative’s priority. In this fight, Elon Musk is an unexpected but entirely worthy champion.

I would amend that last sentence to read “in the run-up to the next election and beyond.” Whole thing here.

Oh, yeah: The Samizdat Prize

By: Scott Johnson — March 7th 2024 at 18:19
(Scott Johnson)

RealClearFoundation president David DesRosiers has announced the inaugural winners of of its Samizdat Prize. Tonight’s the night. The Samizdat Prize is intended to honor the most important users of the First Amendment in the United States. The prize aspires to confer the honor that various of the Pulitzer Prizes bestow and should replace them in the mind of right-thinking men and women. In the words of DesRosiers, the award that is given by Real Clear to journalists, scholars, and public figures who have fought censorship and stood for truth, whatever the cost.

The first three recipients of the Samizdat Prize could not be more worthy: Miranda Devine (for her work on the Biden family business), Jay Bhattacharya (the anti-Fauci), and Matt Taibbi (for his work on the Twitter Files). I have written about all three many times on Power Line. DesRosiers talked about the prize with Buck Sexton here in a discussion posted at RCP.

Dr. Bhattacharya received the prize this past September. His remarks are posted here at RCP. Matt Taibbi has just posted “America enters the samizadat era” at his Racket News site. He looks back on his career in acknowledging the honor he receives tonight. Thanks to John Hinderaker, I met Matt last year. Politics aside, we have cheered him on and sought to follow his path in our own way.

Miranda Devine wrote in her New York Post Devine Online newsletter this morning:

I am thrilled to be in Palm Beach tonight to receive the inaugural Samizdat award from RealClearPolitics, alongside pandemic refusenik Dr Jay Battacharya and Twitter Files journalist Matt Taibbi.

It’s an honor to be part of this grassroots movement to reclaim honest journalism in an era of lies.

“Samizdat” was the name of the underground press resisting the tyranny of the former Soviet Union.

It means ‘We publish ourselves” and was the inspiration for David DesRosiers, publisher and president of RealClear Foundation, to set up a rival journalism award to the Pulitzers.

Bravo to RealClear for bucking the establishment.

I couldn’t agree more. I would only add our congratulations to the inaugural recipients of the Samizdat Prize.

Australia: Twitter loses bid to throw out complaint by Muslim group over ‘hateful’ content
The complaint by the Australian Muslim Advocacy Network was over comments such as “’Ramadan means killing infidels’ and claims that the Qur’an should be referred to as the ‘terrorist handbook’. Comments cited in the complaint refer to the Qur’an as ‘this satanic memoir’ and to Islam as ‘the most violent and sexually perverse cult.'” The […]

Muslim wants those who insult Islam beheaded, prosecutor says case not about ‘mainstream Islam, a peaceful religion’

Muslim wants those who insult Islam beheaded, prosecutor says case not about  ‘mainstream Islam, a peaceful religion’
Because of course prosecutor Dan Pawson-Pounds knows far, far more about Islam than Ajmal Shahpal does. In reality, Dan Pawson-Pounds doesn’t have the faintest idea what Islam teaches, but he knows that a case in which someone who called for the beheading of those who insult Islam is the defendant could easily get him charges […]
