Trevor Noah’s third relative murdered

The family of coloured comedian Trevor Noah has suffered yet another blow following the murder of his cousin in Greytown in KwaZulu-Natal.

The latest murder comes just months after Noah landed the job as the new host of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, a lame anti-white American political project.

Since the announcement, Noah has been seen hobnobbing with US comedy stars and other celebrities at the exclusive Met Gala held earlier this month.

This is the third of Noah’s black female relatives to have been murdered. One family member died from poisoning; the other was beaten to death by attackers.

Cebisile Happiness Khoza had travelled from her hometown of Msinga to Greytown 3kms away to receive her postgraduate certificate in education, reported the Sunday Times.

However, she disappeared and her burnt body was found soon later in a sugarcane field by farmworkers. She had also been stabbed several times. It happened earlier this month.

Noah had not yet been informed of the tragedy as he was travelling overseas and could not be reached.

In 2009, Noah’s stepfather shot his mother three times in a violent rage. According to the Daily Mail, Noah’s mother, Patricia, long suffered abuse at the hands of her now ex-husband.

Patricia told the UK publication that she was “shot in the face and back. The bullets went through the nose and passed my jugular and one narrowly missed my spine”.

The comedian on Sunday described the article as crafty journalism and has denied that Khoza is related to him.

Jews unite against Trevor Noah

Jewish comedy fans had the same reaction Monday morning when it was announced that Trevor Noah, a 31-year-old South African standup comedian who is relatively unknown in the United States, will replace Jon Stewart as the next host of “The Daily Show”.

Amid all of the anticipation surrounding Noah’s surprise appointment, Jews are already keenly interested in his views on the hot-button political topic of the Israel-Palestinian conflict.

Yesterday, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency was the first media outlet to notice a disturbing tweet from Comedy Central’s new hire Trevor Noah:

South Africans know how to recycle like israel knows how to be peaceful.

Late this evening, author and former Conservative MP Louise Mensch found several more:

Behind every successful Rap Billionaire is a double as rich Jewish man. #BeatsByDreidel

Xbox and Playstation players are like Jews and Muslims. They are so similar but they hate each other so much!

JTA found a photograph from Noah’s Facebook page, which appears to show Noah as having been present at an anti-Israel rally in front of the White House.

New Daily Show host also thinks “Untermensch” isn’t a racial slur, says it just means “lower class person”.

David Steinberg says Comedy Central has a PR problem after tweets surface from their “bold” choice.

He says Comedy Central will say they have nothing invested in Noah after they review the “Jewish chicks” tweet, “And of course, other examples are sure to appear in the next few hours.”

Messi gets the ball and the real players try foul him, but Messi doesn’t go down easy, just like jewish chicks. #ElClasico

Daily Show: Brainwashing a generation with lies

Brian Williams lied about his personal exploits many times, but Jon Stewart was unabashedly and habitually dishonest. Any standard liberal publication was as likely to contain an unflattering thought about Stewart as L’Osservatore Romano is to run a hit piece on the pope.

Though Stewart has often claimed he does a “fake news show,” “The Daily Show” isn’t that. It’s a real news show punctuated with puns, jokes, asides and the occasional moment of staged sanctimony.

It contains real, unstaged sound bites about the days’ events and interviews about important policy matters.

Stewart is a journalist: an irresponsible and unprofessional one.

Stewart uses his funnyman status as a license to dispense with even the most minimal journalistic standards. Get both sides of the story?

Hey, I’m just a comedian, man. Try to be responsible about what the real issues are? Dude, that’s too heavy, we just want to set up the next d- -k joke.

Stewart is often derided by the right as having minimal impact and low ratings. That’s not true. He and Stephen Colbert ruled the late-night ratings among 18-to 34-year-olds for most of the last five years, though Jimmy Fallon has lately surpassed both.

About 522,000 Americans in that age range watch “The Daily Show” on an average night, but that means many millions of occasional viewers, with millions more watching clips online.

To a key audience, he was a strong influence. Longtime Cooper Union history professor Fred Siegel says his students constantly came to him repeating Stewart’s talking points.

College students, of course, are both little acquainted with realities of adult existence and walled off from conservative views, so they’re the perfect audience for Stewart’s shtick, which depends on assumptions that are as unquestioned as they are false.

Jon Stewart’s defense of Brian Williams was “The Daily Show” in a nutshell – laugh off a scandal and change the subject.

Brian Williams has become a joke for telling lies, but Jon Stewart is a liar for the way he told jokes.

Daily Show host targets Indians in vain

Comedian John Oliver’s efforts to take down India’s newly elected prime minister, Narendra Modi, has come to naught.

Time magazine in its annual TIME’s Person of the Year 2014 survey has just come up with Narendra Modi as the winner.

Oliver, much tweeted and adored by Cultural Marxists and Boerhaters in South Africa after his efforts to smear Afrikaners as all being white racists and thus deserving of ethnic cleansing, did not hesitate to indulge in a racist diatribe against Indians.

The rising tide of farm killings targeting white Afrikaners, and noted by organisations such as Genocide Watch, must have worried British-born Oliver enough to warrant a whole show justifying the killing spree.

The Prime Minister of India is currently toppling the 2013’s top contestant, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, the Egyptian President, despite Oliver’s best try to make Modi and all Indians look ridiculous.

After Modi quoted the famous Star Wars line, “May the force be with you,” in his speech in Central Park, with Wolverine (aka Hugh Jackman) by his side, Americans were smitten.

Modi had been banned from entering the US in 2005, for purportedly failing to intervene as chief minister of Gujarat state during 2002 riots in which Hindu mobs attacked minority Muslims.

According to the International Religious Freedom Act, which the US Congress passed in 1998, “foreign officials responsible for “severe violations of religious freedom” aren’t eligible for visas. Indian courts have since cleared Hindu-nationalist Modi of wrongdoing.

A recent survey by the National Council of Applied Economic Research and the University of Maryland, United States, spanning 42,000 households has found that 25% of Indians practiced caste untouchability in some form. This, despite the Constitution having banned the practice 64 years ago.

By caste-groups, Brahmins topped the list with 27% admitting to it, followed by non-Brahmin forward castes (25%) followed by other backward classes (33%).

By religions, Hindus were the biggest believers in the system (30%). The findings also found that the practice was most common in the Hindi heartland of the country, with more than 45% of the respondents from Madhya Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Bihar owning up to the practice.
