//Weinstein has been lauded and sucked up to in a staggering 34 different Oscar acceptance speeches. It was former First Lady Michelle Obama herself who hailed this bloated, bullying, sexually perverted film mogul ‘a wonderful human being’ and a ‘good man’.
He is known to have dined at least ten times at the White House during Barack Obama’s tenure — once in the company of our own smoothie schmoozer of the rich and powerful, David Cameron.
In return, Weinstein donated millions to the Democrats — one estimate reckons some $2 million in the past 15 years.
Oh, and the Obamas’ 18-year-old daughter worked for a year as an intern at Weinstein’s company. How very cosy it all was.
So this story isn’t just about one man’s sleazy private life, his horrible attitudes towards women, and his spectacular fall from grace.
It’s about how the entire jet-setting Hollywood Establishment — its holier-than-thou stars, its moneymen, the gushing Liberal political class and media — did nothing to stop the grotesque behaviour of one of its most powerful moguls.
The hypocrisy, the moral depravity, the culture of lies of that Establishment have never been so starkly exposed to the disgusted public gaze as it is today. For Weinstein, it doesn’t mean he is repenting in sackcloth and ashes, of course. It means he is flying off in his private jet to check into ‘rehab’ in Europe.
Because apparently it’s Weinstein himself who is in need of expensive help here — not the young women he has been bullying and abusing for decades.
In the meantime, those who previously danced attendance upon him or were photographed with him, are desperately trying to preserve their own careers, by scrabbling to distance themselves from him like rats in a terrier pit.
One by one they’re lining up to condemn the man they worked with, dined with and lauded to the starry skies at the Oscars.//
//YouTube commentator Paul Joseph Watson has wittily dubbed this ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’: the tendency of Lefty luvvies to be so blinded by their foaming hatred for the current President that they can so no evil anywhere else.//
//Hollywood’s rank hypocrisy over the Weinstein affair is echoed among the luvvies’ good friends on the political Left. Another ardent campaigner for women, Hillary Clinton, remained silent for five whole days after the scandal broke before condemning her generous political funder.
Barack Obama, usually so full of high-flown words, and his wife Michelle, also took days to condemn Weinstein, although Michelle was only too happy recently to aim a sharp speech at Donald Trump about wealthy and powerful men abusing women.
Most egregious of all, perhaps, is that queen bee of Hollywood herself, Meryl Streep. She spent nearly her entire recent Oscar speech attacking the President, and saying she had spent much of her time lately in ‘screaming and lamentation’ — while simultaneously referring adoringly to Harvey Weinstein as ‘God’.
Mamma Mia! How’s that for feminist values?
With breathy and weepy delivery, Meryl declared: ‘When the powerful use their position to bully others, we all lose.’
She also claimed that by attacking Trump like this, she was setting herself up for attack by what she called the ‘brownshirts’ — Hitler’s stormtroopers. Does she mean that anyone who dares to criticise or disagree with Meryl Streep is a Nazi?
But if Streep is so concerned with bullying and women’s rights, where was she all those years when Weinstein was forcing himself on powerless young actresses and goodness knows who? She was as silent as the grave, and insists she knew nothing — although many people certainly appeared to know.//
