" had tortured a number of its own members to death in Japan. (One, for instance, was a young woman. They had buried her alive under the floorboards of the rooms in which the gang lived. Her crime had been to ask one of the comrades to pass her a paper handkerchief. The leader of the group, Fusako Shigenobu had seen this as proof that she was 'too bourgeois', for which she deserved to die. The murdered woman was pregnant at the time.)"—From Jillian Becker's 1984 classic The PLO: The Rise and Fall of the Palestine Liberation Organization, pg. 129. If I were still reading as many Neo-Reactionary blogs as I used to, I would probably include the caption "Leftism in a nutshell." From the fanaticism with which the Khmer Rouge set out to kill (after the most extravagant tortures) every Cambodian guilty of thinking insufficiently virtuous thoughts (or of wearing glasses—which could indicate intelligence—or having received a Western education, like the French-educated intellectual leaders of the Khmer Rouge themselves) in a massacre with few parallels in recorded history, to the censorious campus Left that threatens violence to block a feminist speaker due to her "transphobic" belief that a biological male cannot draw on the same reservoir of experience as an individual that has been female for their entire life, examples such as the above may merely be caricatures, but revealing caricatures nevertheless.
"Arguably, in fact, the victims of the Panthers' most extreme violence were Panthers—those who dissented or were members of rival factions or were seen by Newton as competitors. Alex Rackley, to cite just one example, was accused of spying for the authorities. He was bludgeoned and scalded with boiling water over several days before being taken out and shot. Three Panthers confessed to the crime. Several others were gunned down in internecine struggles. Male party members were 'disciplined' by terrible beatings and bullwhippings, females by being forced into prostitution."—Joshua Muravchik, "The Truth About Black Lives Matter,"Commentary, November 16, 2016. The Left devours its own.

"U.S. officials predicted at the war's end that a million people would starve in a year. It appears that the new regime was at least partially able to avoid this consequence of the war."—Noam Chomsky credits the Khmer Rouge with saving up to one million lives, The Christian Science Monitor, June 1, 1977. For the record, virtually every sentence in Chomsky's letter is a lie. For example, here is the U.S. prediction in question: "In CIA jargon, the agency has 'no assets' left in Cambodia. The analysts can only make agonizing guesses about what has happened to the three million men, women, and children. For many, the forced evacuation must have been a death march. The aged and the ailing probably didn't survive the trek. Patients were even cleared out of the hospitals and herded into the hinterland with the rest ... There also aren't enough food stocks in the backwoods ... Analysts believe that hundreds of thousands will die of starvation. One shocking estimate is that at least a million people will perish. It appears that the Khmer Rouge, as all Cambodian communists call themselves, may be guilty of genocide against their own people ... There also have been reports, including some intercepted messages, that the communists are executing the entire families of former military officers and high civilian officials" (Jack Anderson, "Genocide in Cambodia?", June 4, 1975). That Anderson was leveling accusations of mass genocide (based on CIA sources) after a mere two months of communist rule could well be taken as evidence of media bias against the Khmer Rouge (though everything Anderson wrote was ultimately borne out by events), but as usual Chomsky dishonestly pushed the argument to absurd extremes. (For what it's worth, Gareth Porter asserted in his Congressional testimony, pg. 30 note 60, that this shocking figure was leaked to the press by none other than Henry Kissinger himself, in order to defame the Khmer Rouge's "rational" plan to reconstruct Cambodia, starting with the forcible relocation from the cities to the countryside.) (And don't forget these gems: "He further emphasizes that the Lon Nol army, trained and supplied by the U.S., was no less brutal, in his judgement, than the Khmer Rouge. Fr. Ponchaud also gives a rather positive account of Khmer Rouge social programs, while condemning their brutality in other respects"—and this in the context of claiming that Jean Lacouture was distorting Ponchaud's Cambodia Year Zero!) There are farbettercritiques of Chomsky's Cambodian genocide denial than I could possibly provide, but it is noteworthy how rarely Chomsky is called out for his blatant distortions—even by experts that clearly know better, such as Ben Kiernan. Kiernan will favorably cite Chomsky, but in a way that piously glosses over (does not explicitly acknowledge, much less rebut) anything that might be considered politically incorrect, instead focusing solely on arguments that can still fit within the confines of the latest revisions to Official History—e.g., the ludicrous false equivalence between EastTimor and Cambodia. When "scholars" gather together to rewrite history, it seems, they do so behind closed doors—and they don't want anything leaking out to the public. (For proof that Kiernan—and thus the mainstream of academia—is also a deliberate liar, check out this whopper: "In May 1980 the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency produced a 'demographic report' on Cambodia which denied that there had been any executions in the last two years of the Pol Pot regime. (The toll from executions in 1977-1978 had in fact been around half a million people.)"—Kiernan, "The Inclusion of the Khmer Rouge in the Cambodian Peace Process: Causes and Consequences," Genocide and Democracy in Cambodia, pg. 201. How unfortunate it is for our dear "intellectuals" that inquiring readers can now view the CIA report online and decide for themselves whether Kiernan is telling the truth!)
Hello, and welcome to my userpage. My name is Jake Murrin. I am an extreme introvert from Lombard, Illinois, whose primary interests are reading books and editing Misplaced Pages. (I wish there was more to me than that, but sadly, I live a rather unremarkable life.) As "TheTimesAreAChanging," I am best known for my work on Dreamcast and other articles about Sega gaming consoles, as well as articles on contemporary conflicts in the Middle East.
My love for Sega is rooted in a natural sympathy for the underdog, as well as the inimitable charm and appeal of Sega games.
Of course, there is still that remaining 1%. I could never be mistaken for a man of the Left, because I can't quite bring myself to believe all 1,001 points of Leftist dogma—any deviation from which is sufficient to be declared "Literally worse than Hitler!" The Left makes believing six impossible things before breakfast compulsory—i.e., race and gender are social constructs, Muhammad was the first feminist, the U.S. opposed Aristide when it sent troops to install him in power, the Bush administration was only forced to hold elections in Iraq by non-violent protests organized by Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, Russia isn't bombing ISIS but rather "moderate" and friendly jihadists allied with ISIS, and the arc of history inevitably moves towards greater Leftism. Scott Alexander got me to thinking this myself, but a second look is all it takes to reveal that Leftist protest is overwhelmingly astroturf in nature, intended merely to manufacture consent for policies the permanent government has already decided on. (In the same way, the domestic barbarian is "deplorable" because he is the most potent threat to the Left's grip on power, whereas only a "racist bigot Islamophobe" would call Afghans that enslave women and lynch Shias "deplorable"; after all, importing foreign barbarians to outbreed and replace the existing electorate once that electorate cannot be expanded or bribed any further not only serves the purpose of creating a permanent Democratic majority, but also provides the Leftist coalition with much-needed muscle.) Reagan talked about defunding the Left, but—recognizing the scale of the problem—did not seriously attempt it; whether Trump really intends to "drain the swamp" and tell all the "non-political" bureaucrats and affiliated "NGOs" (c.f. Nigel Farage's brush with "the Cathedral" from 1:40 to 3:50) "You're fired!" remains to be seen, given the chaos that would likely ensue. (First impressions are that Trump is not the kind of man that would seek the Presidency without intending to govern, and that his current method of saving American jobs and repairing American alliances through phone calls, business ties, and Twitter is highly effective at bypassing the bureaucracy. And yes, Libertarians, saving at least 800 jobs for $7 million in tax breaks over 10 years is a very good deal, equivalent to the government subsidizing $875 of each employees's annual salary. Considering that the average U.S. welfare recipient receives over $9,000 in government benefits every yearand is incentivized to vote Democrat, the Carrier deal is a big win for fiscal responsibility, Libertarian principles, and human dignity. If government contracts were threatened—something that would theoretically be illegal—then more power to Trump: Private profits and socialized losses is not "free-market capitalism." But there is far more to be said about the failure of Libertarianism—or Classical Liberalism, the moderate form of Leftism that evolved into our current system—to accurately model reality or to advance anything besides Leftist ends, such as mass immigration pushing the body politic farther Left.) In sum, saying that history leans Left is a bit like calling the increasing diversification of America a "truism" rather than a government policy: If history fails to conform to the script, it often gets a helping hand. (And yet even those that say this may be having second thoughts after 2016.)
For your absolutely awesome work at Sega Saturn, one of the task force's most important articles.

Of lesser interest: Sortingout arcane discrepancies regarding Sega's financial losses during the fiscal years 1998 to 2000 (the figures in the second link are extremely valuable for quantifying the dramatic collapse in Saturn sales outside Japan following the U.S. launch of the Nintendo 64 in late 1996); nailing down Saturn launch titles.
Finally, I have uncovered my fair share of fake quotes (e.g., /, , ) and sockpuppets (e.g., , , , ).
