Dennis Prager On Lara Logan's Sexual Assault

On his radio show Feb. 16, Dennis Prager said: “This story should be widely reported.”

He read from the the New York Post article.

“It is not possible to describe the intensity of anti-Semitism in the Arab world. The Jew-hatred is so great that the worst epithet, worse than dog which is considered a very bad thing in Arab culture, is Jew. The Jew is the scum of the earth throughout the Arab world, particularly east of Morocco. That’s what they’ve been fed since 1948. One can only imagine what the invasion of Israel would entail, the sadism.

“And these are the democracy guys. These are the folks who won. This is after Mubarak resigned.

“We will not rest until we find out why this story stayed quiet.”

“This story is so huge, I can’t get it out of my head… She was attacked sexually by more than 200 men.”

“Tom Friedman is ecstatic about the young people at Tahrir Square. They want liberty.”

“Jew means we can do whatever we want to you because the view of Jews in the Arab world is entirely similar to the view of Jews in Nazi Germany. The media have done an effective job in dehumanizing Jews. Jew means you have lost your humanity, hence you can be treated in a dehumanized manner. That’s one of the many reasons I don’t share any of the mainstream media’s optimism about Egypt. I hope I’m wrong but I don’t see the slightest evidence for it.”

Lara Logan's Sexual Assault: Dennis Prager Opines

Luke Ford writes:

On his radio show Feb. 16, Dennis Prager said: “This story should be widely reported.”

He read from the the New York Post article.

Dennis: “I think the biggest story here is why CBS did not report it originally. I want to know why CBS didn’t report it. Their chief foreign correspondent is attacked and sexually assaulted by 200 men, God only knows what that means, and sustained serious injuries, and CBS did not report it, that’s a serious story.”

“And these are the democracy guys. These are the folks who won. This is after Mubarak resigned.

“We will not rest until we find out why this story stayed quiet.”

News Media's Fascination With Lara Logan's Sex Life

Luke Ford writes:

Lara Logan’s employer broke this news with her permission. Then it ended with a plea for privacy for Lara and an announcement that Lara and CBS News would have nothing further to say about the story.

But how would Lara Logan and CBS News react to somebody who chose to publicly release a story that most people would want to keep private and then plea for privacy and say they will have no further comment? No self-respecting journalist would have a bar of it.

Lara Logan's Cairo Sexual Assault - Was It Rape?

Luke Ford writes:

The New York Post reports:

“60 Minutes” correspondent Lara Logan was repeatedly sexually assaulted by thugs yelling, “Jew! Jew!” as she covered the chaotic fall of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in Cairo’s main square Friday, CBS and sources said yesterday.

The TV crew with Logan, who is also the network’s chief foreign correspondent, had its cameras rolling moments before she was dragged off — and caught her on tape looking tense and trying to head away from a crowd of men behind her in Tahrir Square.

…A network source told The Post that her attackers were screaming, “Jew! Jew!” during the assault. And the day before, Logan had told Esquire.com that Egyptian soldiers hassling her and her crew had accused them of “being Israeli spies.” Logan is not Jewish.

Lara Logan Gang-Raped In Cairo

Luke Ford writes:

Why would a news organization send a hot chick former model into such a dangerous situation?

I guess they don’t want to discriminate against hotness even when that hotness will likely get their reporter into trouble.

According to the New York Daily News: “At least 140 reporters have been injured or killed covering Egypt since Jan. 30, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.”

That shows you what a moral cesspool Egypt is. I wonder if it will develop a thriving democracy?

(CBSNews):

On Friday February 11, the day Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak stepped down, CBS correspondent Lara Logan was covering the jubilation in Tahrir Square for a “60 Minutes” story when she and her team and their security were surrounded by a dangerous element amidst the celebration. It was a mob of more than 200 people whipped into frenzy.

In the crush of the mob, she was separated from her crew. She was surrounded and suffered a brutal and sustained sexual assault and beating before being saved by a group of women and an estimated 20 Egyptian soldiers. She reconnected with the CBS team, returned to her hotel and returned to the United States on the first flight the next morning. She is currently in the hospital recovering.

Unhappy Tenants At BRE Properties Aqua Complex Marina Del Rey

Luke Ford writes:

Here are my previous reports on this.

I wrote a few months ago about the fall of real estate developer Laurence Gluck and the unhappy residents of the AQUA apartment complex at 4750 Lincoln Blvd, Marina Del Rey, CA 90292.

Aqua was formerly Marina Terrace & Archstone & Fiji Villas & Chateau Marina.

Aqua is managed and owned by BRE Properties. BRE Properties is listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Yahoo summary.

Here's a BRE building a mile away with similar complaints about BRE.

An unhappy tenant emails me: "There have been 4-5 break-ins to units and cars just over the last 2 weeks and BRE will not increase Security. One tenant had his remote stolen during the theft and BRE wanted to charge him $50 to replace it. When he got upset he was then brought into the office and lectured by our very unpleasant
Assistant Manager on how to treat people. Two other tenants…just last week…had their personal belongings stolen off their first floor
balconies. And a crowbar was used to break in to a unit on Monday.

I have seen a student crying because of how she was treated and an elderly man being completely ignored and blown off. The tenants have taken to video taping these incidents and will be putting them up on YouTube and I know that the press have received the petition with over 125 signatures.

Chandler Convalescent Hospital North Hollywood CA 91607

Luke Ford writes:

I hope I don’t end up in a nursing home. I hope I don’t end up at Chandler Convalescent Hospital (5335 Laurel Canyon Boulevard, North Hollywood, CA 91607).

Calqualitycare.org rates it one star out of five and says its quality of care is “poor.”

Chandler Convalescent is owned by Sanford Deutsch, who’s about 80. His late wife Beverly was a patient for more than two years at Chandler. She was hit by a bus a few years ago and sued General Motors.

Sanford Deutsch is moving into Beverlywood with his new wife.

Sanford was a big macher in Jewish Los Angeles. He was a lay leader of the Orthodox Union. He led Congregation Sharei Tefilah at Poinsettia and Beverly Blvd. He led the JNF.

Sanford’s son Mark runs Chandler Convalescent.

The place is a mess. The staff frequently get paid late. They have problems getting banks to take their checks, so instead they’re limited to a couple of check cashing outlets. Better get your check cashed quickly before the account runs out.

In response, much of the care is shoddy. It’s not unusual for the staff to fall asleep on the job.

A patient fell and died a couple of months ago. I wonder if a more attentive staff would’ve prevented his death?

Chandler Convalescent mainly employs Filipinos and Guatamalans.

It would take a man of great moral character to restrain himself from taking his sexual pick of the staff. Particularly if you own apartments and homes where you can house the more attractive ones.
