The theme of the April edition of WorldNetDaily’s sparsely read Whistleblower magazine is “OPPOSITE LAND: A stunning tour of the Left’s total inversion of morality, history and reality” — which, of course, is yet another excuse for WND managing editor David Kupelian to rage against and demonize anyone who’s not as far-right as he is. Kupelian started off his essay for the issue by showing that he’s the one who’s living in opposite land:
Whether viewed through the prism of power politics, ideology, psychology or religious faith, the Democratic Party of 2024 has become a daily showcase of exactly the kind of remorseless lying, gaslighting and projection – i.e., calling “evil good, and good evil” – that is condemned in the Bible.
In fact, Democrats’ 180-degree moral-inversion modus operandi has become so reliably extreme that it has evolved into something of a crystal ball, allowing one to discern not only what the far-left ruling elites are secretly doing right now, but also what they intend to do next.
How can that be? By careful noting the crimes, conspiracies and corruption which Democrat leaders falsely accuse conservatives of perpetrating, one can gain uncannily accurate insight into the very crimes, conspiracies and corruption they themselves are covertly pursuing right now – and planning for the future.
In Kupelian’s world, Republicans never do anything wrong and they’re always innocent victims — he fell into the Trump cult some time back, after all. To support his claims, Kupelian simply (and lazily) parrots right-wing anti-Biden narratives. For instance:
* Democrats accuse Republicans of being lawless, a claim epitomized by their massive lawfare campaign against the GOP’s current leader, President Donald J. Trump, who in a short period of time has been accused of over 100 different crimes in left-wing jurisdictions nationwide – all in an effort to block his reelection and make sure he dies in prison. Yet despite the prevailing Opposite Land narrative, reality turns out to be quite different: Democrats have proven to be the lawless party, abusing America’s best-in-the-world legal system in its wild persecution of Trump. The truth of this assessment was affirmed recently by the Supreme Court’s humiliating unanimous decision annihilating one of the Democrats’ lawfare cases against Trump. Ironically, while Democrats claim the 45th president is a big-time criminal, in reality it is Joe Biden, America’s 46th president, who heads up an actual crime family involving at least a dozen family members, as House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has revealed.
Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyo., recently put it this way: “I believe that this is the most corrupt family ever in a position of power in this country’s history. We’re talking about a level of corruption that is so far beyond what we’ve seen with previous political leaders.”
Kupelian then ranted that those who committed criminal acts during the Capitol riot were treated like, um, the criminals they are:
* Far worse than Democrats’ persecution of Donald Trump and simultaneous defense of an epically corrupt man like Joe Biden is their mass criminal prosecutions and imprisonment of hundreds of innocent, patriotic Americans for simply protesting the theft of the 2020 election. In so doing, the Biden administration has embraced the kind of unthinkable political weaponization of the legal system that previously was associated with the most brutal and corrupt Third World dictators.
Ultimately, the hundreds of unjust Jan. 6 prosecutions, convictions and lengthy incarcerations are simply part of Democrats’ appalling campaign to brand not just Trump, but his supporters, as terrorists and “insurrectionists” attempting to overthrow America’s constitutional system of government.
But being Opposite Land, that analysis is not only nonsensical, it is precisely opposite to the truth: Attempting to undermine the American constitutional system, for which the elites have barely disguised contempt, is precisely what today’s Democratic leadership does 24/7, as many of the following examples demonstrate.
How is it “weaponization of the legal system” to prosecute people for criminal behavior that, in many cases, was captured on video for all to see? This is another instance in which Kupelian is giving a pass to criminal behavior because it was done to further his political narratives.
Kupelian then served up some revisionist history:
* Democrats daily accuse Republicans, as well as essentially the entire American middle class, of being racists, bigots and white supremacists. In reality, of course, it is Democrats who have historically, generation after generation, practiced and championed overt racism: Democrats were the party of slavery, while the Republican Party came into existence in 1854 explicitly as the “anti-slavery party.” Democrats opposed Reconstruction after the Civil War and founded the Ku Klux Klan in 1865, making up most of its membership. They were likewise the main force behind Jim Crow laws for many decades afterward.
Fast-forward to the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. The great American middle class had largely been persuaded by the noble, nonviolent movement, capped off by Rev. Martin Luther King’s stirring “I have a dream” speech in August of 1963, that they too, like King, desired to “live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” Yet the following year, it was Senate Democrats who filibustered the historic 1964 Civil Rights Act for an astounding 60 days – the longest filibuster in U.S. history – in a desperate attempt to block the anti-segregation bill’s passage.
Today, 60 years later in 2024 America, it is Democrats, not Republicans, who are utterly obsessed with hiring and firing, promoting and demoting, rewarding and punishing, favoring and rejecting people solely on the basis of their skin color. Long forsaken by the left is the entire Civil Rights Movement and MLK’s cherished “dream” of a color-blind America.
And yet, according to the party that championed slavery, opposed Reconstruction, pushed Jim Crow laws and tried desperately to kill the ’64 Civil Rights Act, the United States of America – hands-down the least racist nation in all of history – is irredeemably racist. And all because of those racist, white-supremacist, Klan-loving Republicans!
That’s what it means to live in Opposite Land.
But as the link Kupelian supplied to back up his claim pointed out, it was anti-integration Southern Democrats — not the entire party — that pushed the filibuster, and it was a bipartisan coalition of Democrats and Republicans that overcame it. He also failed to mention, as we’ve previously noted, that one prominent Republican — Barry Goldwater, the 1964 Republican candidate for president — opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and that played a major role in shifting the South to Republican and establish the Republican Party as being opposed to civil rights. That’s a bit of opposite-land stuff you won’t hear about from Kupelian.
After mini-screeds about how “Democrats’ opposition to Voter ID persists in an era when the Biden administration has intentionally engineered a massive foreign invasion of non-citizens into America” and how “America’s children are being groomed and seduced into undergoing horrendous transgender amputation surgeries and other unthinkable and irreversible medical ‘treatments’ that literally destroy their lives – leading many to commit suicide,” rehashed old attacks on Antifa:
Also on the fascism front, there is the violent, fascist domestic-terror group Antifa, which ironically stands for “anti-fascist,” and which in 2020 Joe Biden bizarrely announced was a nonexistent group, calling it “an idea, not an organization.” In reality, of course, as the world saw during the summer of 2020, Antifa, along with Black Lives Matter, engaged in a five-month mega-orgy of violence across America. During this unprecedented rolling riot, they terrorized and ransacked many major U.S. cities, caused over $2 billion in property damage, wounded some 1,200 law enforcement officers and caused the deaths of at least 25 people.
Kupelian offered no evidence that Antifa is, in fact, an actual organization with leaders and headquarters. He then rehashed another of his bugaboos:
Diving just a bit deeper, the real reason for this “lawlessness” phenomenon comes clearly into view: Opposition to God and His laws of life in order to play god, to invent their own reality and force everyone else to accept it – that comprises the mind and substance of the lawless left, and always has since the days of Karl Marx. To justify this lawlessness and maintain their illusion of moral superiority over others, leftists have to portray conservatives – i.e. normal people who hold to society’s traditional values derived largely from the Bible – as evil. Which is why Democrat leaders in the U.S. and their allies in the media continually, year after year, compare Donald Trump to Hitler. It’s transparently insane, of course; Hitler murdered 11 million people, Trump murdered zero. Yet they persist because they desperately need their lying, cheating and lawless ways to somehow be counted as just, noble and good.
Consider that Nazi Germany was the one scenario in modern history regarding which most people would agree that lying, cheating and even attempts at assassination were moral in the quest to rid that nation of a true monster of a leader, to end a terrible war and save millions of innocent lives. Therefore, lying, cheating and breaking all the rules, at least in that time and place, were not only moral, but a moral imperative. This is precisely why Democrats persist in the abominable and dangerous practice of defaming the 45th president as another Hitler. They detest rules, and if Trump is Hitler, they can break free of all the moral and legal rules that hold decent civilizations together.
Funny, Kupelian didn’t think it was “abominable and dangerous” when he published numerous writers defaming Barack Obama as a Nazi. As we’ve pointed out, Kupelian has never apologized for those smears, which makes his continued whining about Trump-HItler analogies utterly hypocritical.
Which, again, means that Kupelian is the one living in Opposite Land. This is also demonstrated by his apparent belief that right-wing screeds like his — as well as his editorial policies of publishing fake news and conspiracies — are keeping WND flush with cash when the truth is the exact opposite.
