Unforeseen Consequences of the Don Sterling Story
David Risselada / Freedom Outpost
As we witnessed the media spectacle that was the Don Sterling story unfold, there is an element of the story that is going completely unspoken. Everybody realizes that there is an elusive, slippery slope involved. If they can “ban” a basketball team owner from his own team after having his privacy invaded one day, what can they do to someone else on another? Make no mistake, Mr. Sterling’s privacy was invaded, and in my opinion, this is a perfect example of society being willing to give up their own privacy rights, for the sake of argument, in favor of slamming someone they detest. Little do they realize that someday, someone will detest something they, or someone they love, might say. Will the same rules apply then? As disgusting as Sterling’s words were, he still has the right to privacy. The fact that this conversation was released to a media outlet is as detestable as Sterling’s comments, in my opinion. If you disagree, wait until it happens to you.
All of this is beside the bigger point, however. There is a larger agenda at work here, and it is one that is quite alarming. If all you do is watch the main stream media for the endless, mindless dribble that ooze’s from the mouths of paid propaganda artists, you will never see it, even though it would be right in your face. You see, what we have here boils down to something this simple: one man, because of his views on race, was publicly stripped of every right he had and the property he owns. His reputation has been destroyed and people are willing to cast him aside as a leper because he, in the privacy of his own home, made some unpopular, and yes very, disturbing remarks.
Based on some of the other evidence I am about to present, I am going to argue that the agenda is to get people to accept that this can happen to anyone who expresses views that the left can misconstrue as “racist.” After all, President Obama unarguably goes out of his way to blame everybody that disagrees with him as a racist. Is this what we face, a public opinion trial in which our property is at stake?

Yes. And don’t forget the time-shift element of this. What may be politically correct when one says it may become politically incorrect or socially unacceptable or even ‘racist’ a few years later. Archives of old phone calls and emails (hello, NSA) have significant potential blackmail value.
Very true!…It is all a bit strange since the Law states:
California’s wiretapping law is a “two-party consent” law. California makes it a crime to record or eavesdrop on any confidential communication, including a private conversation or telephone call, without the consent of all parties to the conversation. See Cal. Penal Code § 632. The statute applies to “confidential communications” — i.e., conversations in which one of the parties has an objectively reasonable expectation that no one is listening in or overhearing the conversation. See Flanagan v. Flanagan, 41 P.3d 575, 576-77, 578-82 (Cal. 2002). A California appellate court has ruled that this statute applies to the use of hidden video cameras to record conversations as well. See California v. Gibbons, 215 Cal. App. 3d 1204 (Cal Ct. App. 1989).
its not blackmail ffs its African American mail…get it right lol
Question, since he is loosing all of his property, can’t he sue and get money back from the person who gave the tape to the media for invading his privacy…..I mean, the person who gave up the tape I’m sure made a profit off of it, without his consent….It’s well within in “legal” rights…..
Who is Donald Sterling?
