HERD STUPIDITY IGNORES BLACK CRIMES

One of the things I think that’s been most
frustrating to witness in terms of law enforcement, is
how anti-law enforcement narratives are consistently
spun by these national corporate media outlets. They
will swoop into a community, they will create a false
narrative, and then they kind of just leave and they
never correct the record when what they’re saying is
obviously false. And we’re seeing that right now in
real time with Waukesha, Wisconsin, in terms of what
happened there. You will look at some of these
corporate outlets and they will say that ‘an SUV drove
into a parade of Christmas folks’, and you’re thinking
like, ‘really is that how it works, the SUVs, they
just drive by themselves?’ … And they say, ‘oh, this
was a big accident.’ You never actually hear the
discussion about who committed this. What was the
motivation? This guy was a career criminal let out on,
didn’t really have any bail basically, should not have
even been on the street, had clear, anti-white animus.
And this was an intentional act. And it seems like,
you know, for corporate press, they’re more apt to
characterize a parent who goes to a school board
meeting to protest bad policies as a domestic
terrorist than somebody who intentionally rams an SUV
into a crowd of innocent people.

HERD STUPIDITY is curable
Taking a Stand: Fighting back
against Biden’s tyranny
It was once famously
said, these
are times that try our souls, and we either
step up and do what must be done or we will enter a
thousand years of darkness.
Make no mistake, we
are losing this nation.
The corrupt Fascist
regime with the figurehead Joe Biden as leader is
hellbent on destroying the United States of America.
In nine short months, they have made giant strides
forward in establishing a Fascist dictatorship,
implementing measures not seen since Hitler’s Germany,
Stalin’s Russia or Mao’s China.
This is not Joe
Biden’s government. Biden is a useful idiot, set up by
the Obama mafia that attempted to usher in
totalitarianism 13 years ago. The effort to undermine
the U.S. Constitution and overthrow our democratic
republic began long before Obama took office, however.
For its origins, we must go all the way back to May 8,
1986.
On that date, at the
Harris Auditorium on the campus of the City College of
New York, a forum was held. The forum’s panel
consisted of Joyce Weinstein, Legislative Coordinator
for the NYC Office of Management and Budget, somebody
from Charlie Rangel’s staff, and one Frances Fox Piven
The billing for the
forum was, “A Community Forum on Federal Budget Cuts
‘85–‘86.” It is important to recognize that President
Ronald Reagan was, at that time, proposing a reduction
in government spending. Those on the forum’s panel
were against those budget cuts and against Reagan’s
proposed reductions in government spending.
It was sponsored by
CCNY, the New York Public Interest Research Group
(NYPIRG), and the CCNY student government, with none
other than Barack Hussein Obama as student government
president. Piven and her husband, Richard Cloward
penned the Cowar-Piven strategy. As both were
confirmed Fascists and as both were college
professors, it should come as no surprise that Obama
would have been well-aware of their political
positions and their strategies.
Needless to say, he
was quite enamored with both. In his first book,
“Dreams From My Father,” Obama wrote of his college
years, “To
avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my
friends carefully. The more politically active
black students. The foreign students. The
Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural
feminists.” This was perhaps the event that sparked his
desire to “fundamentally transform America.”
To say that Saul
Alinsky, and his book, “Rules for Radicals” was an inspiration to
Cloward and Piven would be a gross understatement,
but Aliinsky’s “Rules” were a blueprint for how to
win individual battles in the quest for socialism
and Marxism. Cloward and Piven drew upon Alinsky’s
“Rules” to create a strategy on how to win the war.
During his eight
years in the Oval Office, Obama employed many of
Saul Alinsky’s “Rules” but he was under the
proverbial microscope and unable to make drastic
moves as quickly as he wanted. He also discovered
that neither “fundamental transformation” nor social
re-engineering was going to come cheap. It needed a
bankroll.
Obama could
smooth-talk idiots into occupying Wall Street, but
somebody had to pay for it. Obama could verbally and
morally support Black Lives Matter, but somebody
would have to pay for the infrastructure to move
those people around the country and do the things
necessary to further divide the country.
Obama went to the
bank of George Soros to secure the funding he needed
but time was not his friend. He only had two terms
in office, and the “fundamental transformation of
America” would require more time than term limits
allowed. Hillary was to have been Obama’s third
term, the time necessary to finish the job, but
President Trump got in the way.
Obama’s answer to
Trump was to ratchet up the pressure, basically
Alinsky’s “Rule number 8.” More BLM, introduce and
grow Antifa, incite racial division, false
allegations against Trump, impeachment and its
sequel, riots, looting, arson, violence in the
streets and let’s not forget the role played by
shills like the “squad” in driving that divide
deeper and deeper.
Regardless of what
tactics were employed to end President Trump’s
America First policies, his booming economy, our
energy independence and our re-establishment at the
front and center of the world stage, Trump kept on
winning. His policies were lifting all Americans,
facts that obviously angered Obama greatly.
In four short
years, President Trump had all but erased the
anti-American Obama strategy. Trump lifted America
to grand heights domestically, economically and in
the arena of foreign policy. It was too much for
Obama to bear. It had to come to an end, and neither
he, who had invested his time and energy, nor Soros,
who had invested a small fortune of his money, could
risk another four years of President Trump.
They rigged the
2020 election. We know that doesn’t sit well with
social media or the mainstream media, but there is
no way you can ever convince the majority of the
American people that a man with severely diminished
mental capabilities who campaigned from his basement
bunker and made no sense when he rarely ventured
outside, a man who couldn’t draw more than a dozen
people to a campaign rally and was constantly making
derogatory comments to his own voters could have
garnered 81 million votes without the fix being in.
That is especially
incredulous given that. for the first time in U.S.
history, an incumbent increased his vote total over
that of four years before. The election was stolen,
obviously, and Obama installed his puppet to be his
third term.
The strategy by
Cloward and Piven is only four steps, but don’t be
fooled, Biden isn’t following those steps. He lacks
the mental capacity to follow the directions on a
box of instant pudding. What we’re seeing taking
place in our country today is Obama’s master plan,
derived from Cloward-Piven. He’s pulling Biden’s
puppet strings and when the heat gets to be too much
for that particular puppet.
Biden will be
forced out under the Twenty-Fifth Amendment and
replaced by Kamala Harris whose blind political
ambition will have her dancing like Obama’s cackling
marionette. What Biden has not accomplished by that
time of Cloward-Piven’s agenda will be completed by
Harris.
The first step is
to overload and break the welfare system. COVID is
just part of the excuse as people are soon to be out
of work because Biden’s unconstitutional CCP virus
mandates will force small businesses to close their
doors.
Though there are
multiple court challenges to those orders, they will
be enforced as long as the Supreme Court allows them
to stand, and there is no guarantee the Obama
minions controlling Biden will pay attention to a
negative decision. They are already ignoring SCOTUS’
telling the cabal to reinstate “remain in Mexico” as
instituted by President Trump
Add to that the
fact that the welfare and unemployment systems are
now paying people more not to work than they were
making while employed. Throw in more than 2 million
welfare reliant illegal aliens per year into the
system and Cloward and Piven’s first box is checked
off.
The next step is,
have chaos ensue. The defund the police movement,
inspired and driven by the ilk of domestic
terrorists like the BLM and Antifa has violent crime
rates soaring as cities defund their police
departments and thousands more police officers leave
the job for lack of local government support. CCP
virus mandates have society in an uproar.
Critical Race
Theory is being implemented in schools from
kindergarten to universities and Attorney General
Merrick Garland has ordered the FBI to
investigate as “domestic terrorists” those parents
who would dare challenge the curriculum at school
board meetings. The puppet master left Americans and
our allies behind in Afghanistan ― leaving Biden to
take the blame ― the border crisis is out of
control, inflation is on the rise, gas prices and
our growing disaster on the world stage is all
creating mass chaos. Box number two is checked off.
Then they will take
control of the chaos. That is Cloward-Piven’s third
step. We will be told Kamala Harris is doing just
that the day Obama pulls the plug on Joe Biden via
the Twenty-Fifth Amendment. The reality of that
situation will simply be more of the same only with
new and more deceptive cover being provided by
Obama’s propagandists in the mainstream media. That
will check box number three.
Lastly, they will
implement Fascist socialism through government
force. If you don’t believe this is Obama’s end game
and the dream of every elected liberal Fascist then
you haven’t been paying attention to the political
landscape since LBJ was in office. If you don’t
think we’re better than half way there now, you’re
simply blind to reality.
What do we do? How
to fend off this attack on our liberties, freedoms,
on our Constitution and our economy?
There is only one
way: We prepare to fight.
History makes it
clear that the United States was founded by people
who endured a repressive government seated 3,000
miles away. After putting their lives, families and
fortunes on the line in the American Revolution,
their primary goal was to prevent such a repressive
society from emerging again. The Founders and
Framers had to personally reckon with criminalized
speech, arbitrary arrest, state sanctioned torture
and even murder ― in short, exactly what we are now
facing
So, at great
personal sacrifice, they signed the Declaration of
Independence. Had they lost the Revolutionary War,
they would all have been executed, so the stakes
could not have been higher. But they didn’t lose.
They shocked the world, and as a result, our
founding fathers constructed a carefully balanced
system defined by the Constitution to make sure no
tyrant could ever come to power.
We’re now facing
multiple scenarios that could obliterate that
delicate balance. Those “four steps” of Cloward and
Piven are the tool by which they are accomplishing
it. They have been executed to perfection and have
us on the brink of dictatorship and oppression.
We are facing a
shift in our balance of power. Apparently abandoning
efforts to pack the Court because of opposition
within the Fascist party calling itself Democrats,
they have adopted a strategy of simply ignoring
court rulings they don’t like. This is a new legal
structure that will allow for the legalization of
tyrannical reign and “legally” override the
carefully constructed governmental balance between
the legislative, executive and judicial branches
that has previously served to prevent tyranny in the
U.S.
This three-tier
branch, constructed to safeguard our freedoms, is
under direct attack, and this is not a partisan
issue. Everyone needs to wake up to this fact. It’s
an issue of freedom versus tyranny.
In order to do so,
we must organize as a people. Regardless of your
ideology, we can safely say that the vast majority
of Americans do not want a Fascist dictatorship.
Those that do amount to less than a fifth of the
U.S. population. The legitimate votes that were cast
in November 2020 were not so much pro-Biden as they
were anti-Trump. Mean tweets and bombast from the
45th president over his four-year term took its
toll, even though he got more than enough votes to
be reelected ― and as noted, he probably was
reelected.
We are seeing the
beginning of this by the activism at local school
board meetings as parents protest the teaching of
CRT, mask mandates that harm their children and
vaccine orders that make no sense for
elementary-aged children since they are not
susceptible to serious infections.
Those school board
appearances, however, do not go far enough.
We need to take
that kind of activism into the city council
meetings, county commissions and state legislatures.
We must challenge this rogue Fascist federal
government. We need to make our voices heard. When
they try to prevent us from speaking, we need to get
louder and make sure they hear us.
Of course, that’s
going to lead to arrests. We as Americans cannot be
afraid of that threat. Its not pleasant, its
antithetical to how we expect to live ― and it is
absolutely necessary. If we use ourselves to flood
the legal system by accepting our fates when we
stand for our rights, there will come a point that
the police and sheriff’s departments will no longer
take action that prevents them from having jail
space for real criminals.
We keep righting
for our rights and the rights of our children. We
keep speaking loudly against tyranny. We continue to
disrupt the illegal and immoral actions of these
bodies of government. We make ourselves known as a
people ― as the American people ― who will not
docilely accept their mandates, their declarations,
their fraudulent orders.
What, you ask, if
they use force to enforce their tyranny, their
oppression, their despotism? We post the answer to
that in the form of another question: What did the
Founders and Framers do?
We do the same.
This is a time to
accept great sacrifice, perhaps the ultimate
sacrifice, in order to put an end to tin-pot tyrants
who have only their own self-interests at heart, who
lie, cheat, steal ― and yes, murder ― to put
themselves in power and make us their disloyal but
powerless subjects.
To avoid that
ignominious fate we must implement our own four-step
plan. We organize, we stand, we resist, we fight. We
have no other choice, and the time is getting late.
As was once said, it is better to die on your feet
than to live on your knees.
To paraphrase
another famous saying, these are times that try
men’s and women’s souls, our resolve, our love of
freedom. We either step up and do what must be done,
or, as Ronald Reagan said, we will enter a thousand
years of darkness. (read

PERVERSION OF ELECTIONS EXPOSED
A Phantom Menace
Meet the Technology That's
Uncovering 2020's Voter Fraud
The search for phantom
voters is over. Phantom voters are sitting next
to you at the restaurant or standing next to you at
the bank. They are your friend and
neighbor. You may be a phantom and not know it.
Phantom voters, the
definition, is morphing from fake voters hiding in
USPS boxes to people who advanced computer models
predict will not vote.
Don't get me wrong —
there are thousands of phantom voters living in
churches, R.V. parks, cemeteries, homeless shelters,
hotels, and virtual mailboxes. It's just that
there are as many, perhaps more, who live active,
healthy, honest lives on voter rolls. They just
don't know they voted.
You've heard the
stories, denied by the mainstream press and almost
every secretary of state: there is no significant
voter fraud. Why not say that? There is no
way you can check.
Now
there is.
After the 2020
election results stopped in the middle of night and
vote trajectories magically changed when they fired up
again, thousands of people, just like you, didn't buy
it. They formed armies of canvassers in 35 or
more states. They did something that has not
been done at scale in the history of the country: they
started checking voter rolls.
They did more.
They filed Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests
at unprecedented levels. Secretary of state
offices, once a murky sinecure, had to answer real
questions about what was going on.
Here's what popped
out.
Leftists
are different from you and me. Unlike us, they
care that every vote is cast, and if you do not cast
your vote, they will do it for you. And they
did. At scale.
In one midwestern
state, voter rolls costing tens of thousands of
dollars were bought by a billionaire leftist every
month for over a year. Why would someone buy a
list that doesn't change much?
Voter lists show
people who move. They show people who never or
seldom vote.
The white hat
canvassing team built a query for one state: "voters
who voted in 2020 who never voted before." Guess
what! 265,000.
In the same state,
thousands of people came forward with stories that
when they showed up to vote, they were told someone
had voted for them. Get the picture?
In a southwestern
state, in its second largest city, there was a 21-day
daily tabulation of cast ballots. Once a ballot
is cast, it should not be changed. Not here.
When the millions of
cast votes across over 21 snapshots were compared,
thousands of ballots had been altered. Some were
minor alterations, like a slight name change.
Others were more interesting — like when someone voted
in person, but his vote was later changed by an
absentee ballot.
It
gets better.
Those
FOIA requests are mining gold. Our
midwestern state has documents showing that the state
election organization gave online access to a leftist
group for weeks during the voting. Citizens had
to pay over $20,000 for one shapshot of the voter
roll. Leftists could, and did, access it online
throughout the process. For free.
And access it they
did. Witness statements are being gathered, lots
of them, that in the largest city, election officials
were trading cell calls about how many votes were
needed, and someone was then providing the phantoms to
meet the quota.
They knew the names of
the phantoms — they had direct access to who voted,
who didn't, and who was likely to never show up.
This
is not exclusively a blue-state phenomenon.
In a deep red state,
canvassers found more traditional phantoms.
There were the 21
people at the fraternity house. Nothing to see
here — until they sorted them by age. All these
kids were active voters, many voted, and their age
range was from 115 to 57. Some frat house.
These red-state
canvassers went deeper. They showed that the
phantoms did not vote en masse in the 2020 presidential
election. Phew! Feeling better. But
wait. They vote in droves in state, county,
municipal elections.
Aha — here was another
interesting pattern, never seen before.
This deep red state
that voted for Trump by double-digit margins did not
call out its phantom army when it could not move the
needle. When local, state elections were up,
well, those people voted — even the 21 at the county
jail and the 41 registered at the Recreation
Commission.
In earlier American Thinker
articles, we created the phrase "sovereign
fraud." That means your government is in
on it.
As
more than 35 state citizen organization now are
using the most advanced search and big data
technology to look into voter rolls, and cross-check
them with churches, R.V. parks, fictitious street
locations, they are concluding the office of
secretary of state is corrupt, incompetent, or often
both.
Let's take
incompetent.
In
about every state, there are voters old enough to
have fought in the Civil War, and they still
vote. In one state, there are voters -- a
bunch of them older than Julius Caesar — the Roman
guy.
States have voter
rolls with multiple people using the same voter
ID. When pressed, they have some screwy excuse
that it's a sequencing anomaly. At least one
state adds every new voter to the end of its voter ID
sequence, as one would expect. Except when it
doesn't. These people have numbers that skip by
two and later ten, and they insert voters there, not
at the end.
There are hundreds I
have personally seen, thus thousands in every state —
examples of 16 people, with different last names,
living in that one-bedroom, 876-square-foot
house. Really?
Let's go to corrupt.
Secretaries of state,
when pressed to cough up those voter rolls, after the
confiscatory price is paid, change the data in such a
way that it cannot be searched with traditional
technology. Tough luck for them; our canvassing friends have search
technology five generations ahead, so it gets done.
Canvassers
in 35 or more states are digging, and the more they
find, the more relentless they become. We are
pleased to provide technology that runs a thousand
times faster than anything available to any
secretary of state or leftist voter fraud group.
These
canvassing organizations are the Minutemen of this
generation. They come
from every background, organize with no central
leadership. They blindly figured out how
phantom voting was happening, and they are forcing
states to audit their voter rolls.
They
aren't blind anymore. They are
organized. They have resources and technology,
and things are about to change in a
big way for phantoms.
You can now see if you
have been "phantomed." (read

THE STATE OF THE DISUNION XI
(Being bullied, beaten or raped by feral Negroes teaches
whites important life lessons.)
Study: Exposure to
Desegregated Schools Often Made Whites Less Tolerant
As Adults
School integration, long part of the unfinished
business of the civil rights movement, has been the
subject of revived interest for several years.
Parents, advocates, and the media all warn of a
gradual resegregation of K-12 students, and district
leaders have
implemented radical plans to assemble racially and
socioeconomically mixed classrooms.
But new evidence
casts doubt on one of the most ambitious promises
underlying Brown
v. Board of Education and the decades of work
that followed: that America’s prejudices might be
alleviated through the mingling of children from
diverse backgrounds. In a study of racial and
political attitudes between the 1990s and 2010s, one
scholar has found that exposure to desegregated
schools led white people to view African Americans
more negatively and decreased their willingness to
support policies like affirmative action.
The study, released in November as a working
paper
through Brown University’s Annenberg Institute for
School Reform, was authored by Mark Chin, a doctoral
student at Harvard. Examining multiple strands of
data, Chin found that the unintended consequences of
integration were especially evident in areas where
resistance to it was strongest, such as the South.
In an interview
with The 74, Chin said his research shows that
whatever the benefits of mixed schools — a wealth of
research suggests that Black students perform better
academically when they learn alongside children of
other races, while white students perform no worse
than they would otherwise — we cannot assume that
they will improve race relations or produce more
liberal-minded adults.
“We have a pretty
good sense of [the ways in which] desegregation
improved outcomes for Black youth, and a lot of them
don’t necessarily require that schools integrate,”
he said in an interview. “So if we’re going to go
down the path toward integration, which is very
controversial policy-wise, we should also know what
the positive or negative spillover effects are.”
VIDEO: Did
Desegregation Fail?
At issue is our
understanding of the “contact hypothesis,” one of the
landmark ideas of 20th-century social science. Chiefly
promulgated by the psychologist Gordon Allport, the
theory held that relations between distinct groups
could be eased through interpersonal contact under
suitable conditions.
The hypothesis
gained steam after the [problematic] integration of
the U.S. armed forces, and Allport’s highly
influential book on the subject, The Nature of
Prejudice, was published the same year that the
Supreme Court considered Brown v. Board. But more than a
half-century of investigation has found little in
the way of causal evidence demonstrating its effects
vis-a-vis race. A 2018 meta-analysis conducted by Princeton
professor Betsy Levy Paluck addressed only a handful
of randomized experiments that specifically focused
on school environments, and found that different
forms of prejudice were mitigated to dramatically
different degrees.
Chin
sought to address gaps in the research by looking
at how the racial integration of schools affected
white people later in life. To do so, he
used responses to the General Social Survey, a
long-running sociological survey collected since
1972 by the University of Chicago’s National Opinion
Research Center. The GSS poses a number of questions
pertaining to race and politics, asking participants
to define their partisan allegiance, rate their
openness to more spending to benefit African
Americans, and characterize members of different
racial groups with respect to qualities like
intelligence and laziness. Chin compiled the various
testing items into composite scores for each
respondent.
Chin’s sample
included nearly 11,000 white participants across 159
counties that came under court-ordered desegregation
mandates between the 1950s and 1980s; the differing
timelines for each such order allowed Chin to track
if and when racial attitudes had changed in response
to the process of school desegregation. In
particular, he differentiated between respondents
who were plausibly school-aged (i.e., 17 and
younger) when their school district first came under
its desegregation mandate and those who were
somewhat older.
Strikingly,
whites who were exposed to desegregated schools
were more negative in their appraisals of African
Americans and social programs, and less likely to
describe themselves as politically liberal as
adults. The trend was especially
pronounced in areas where the drive to desegregate
met with greater obstinance, Chin found. That
included Southern counties that integrated following
the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which
applied stiff legal penalties against school
districts that attempted to stall the process; it
was also true in counties that saw declining support
for Democratic presidential candidates between the
years 1960 and 1968, when the party prominently
associated itself with the civil rights movement.
In Chin’s view,
those findings actually support part of the “contact
hypothesis.” In his writings,
Allport made clear that he did not believe that
contact between different groups would yield
friendlier relations on its own. The
interactions would have to be conducted within a
specific context, he believed, with both groups
pursuing similar goals on equivalent footing and
with the unequivocal support of political and social
institutions. When those conditions were not met —
witness acts of “massive resistance” in Southern
states, or the riots in response to school busing in
northern cities like Boston — contact could actually
make matters worse, Allport stipulated.
“There was a lot of
pushback and a lot of controversy around different
busing or integration policies,” Chin observed.
“That supported Allport’s theory that when there’s
limited external support for inter-group contact,
you can see worse attitudes. That’s what I think
explains the findings here.”
Importantly, some
qualitative research has indicated that undergoing
the process of integration led to positive results
for students of all racial extractions. When
researchers at Columbia University’s Teachers
College interviewed graduates from six desegregated
high schools, participants said they greatly valued
the experience as an early and worthwhile encounter
with members of communities different from their
own. Still, most of them — especially whites —
described themselves as living in much more
homogenous communities as adults and said that their
own children didn’t attend racially diverse schools.
The study doesn’t
necessarily argue against contemporary efforts to
break down racial divisions in K-12 schooling, or
even against the idea that school integration per se
might lead to less racism among white students who
participate in it. But the
mid-century campaign of desegregation was the
among the most ambitious and effective engines of
diversification that has ever been attempted, Chin
observed — and one of its most
hoped-for effects does not seem to have
materialized.
“I’m not convinced
that integration always doesn’t work. In my theory
of a transformed society, we would all be in more
integrated spaces. But there’s a link missing
because it’s so hard to get spaces to integrate….We
need to improve people’s racial attitudes and
behaviors and empathy toward others. But [school
integration] is what I thought would have done
that.” (read

THE STATE OF THE DISUNION VII
WAUKESHA DOMESTIC TERRORIST
ATTACK:
Who did it and Why?
WAUKESHA CHRISTMAS
PARADE ATTACK
A SOROS-BACKED
TERRORIST ATTACK CARRIED OUT TO DISTRACT FROM THE
INCREASING NUMBER OF COVID VAX MANDATE PROTESTS
AND RIOTS OCCURRING WORLDWIDE
“The
government-trained domestic terrorist who
willfully plowed into the Waukesha Christmas
parade — Darrell E. Brooks — was wrongfully
out
on bail for a charge of running someone over on
November 5, 2021, but he was let out ON PURPOSE.
Serial murderers and convicted felons are
routinely
released from jail to do dirty deeds for The
Powers
That Be. Sometimes federal and
state prison
sentences are improperly reduced to place a
hardened criminal on the street in
order to carry
out a special unlawful mission or terror attack
for
the power elite.
— Intelligence Analyst
& Former U.S. Military Officer
Undeniably, the
timing of the Waukesha terrorist attack was made to
occur right after the Rittenhouse trial which ended
in Kyle’s complete and unanimous acquittal. In
this manner, the people of Wisconsin were delivered
a hard blow for rightly vindicating an innocent man
who was relentlessly persecuted by the Left and the Mainstream Media.
However, there’s
another major reason for this extremely violent and
premeditated attack against the American people in
Wisconsin.
There is a rapidly
rising crescendo of protests throughout the world
community of nations that can no longer be ignored
by the CIA’s Mockingbird Media. And, the utterly
treacherous corporate media in America has been
given strict orders not to cover those massive
protests and riots for fear of the U.S. citizenry of
catching on.
The elites
certainly don’t want US out in the street and/or
shutting the whole place down. Such an
eventuality would show the whole world that the New World Order globalist cabal is
losing its power and influence by the day.
Therefore, the only
way the NWO cabal can thwart the inevitable mass
awakening of the American people is to do what they
always do—distract US. This is one of the
primary reasons why they executed such an atrocious
black operation just prior to Thanksgiving in
Waukesha.
The fact that this
well-planned terrorist attack targeted a “Christmas
parade” further advances the agenda of Cultural
Marxism whose aim is to destroy
Christianity throughout the USA. The
perfidious cultural marxists have spent decades
trying replace Christmas with anything else that
will stick in an effort to diminish the biggest
Christian holiday of the year.
These godless CM
creatures are likewise attempting to replace
Thanksgiving Day with Black Friday—a day dedicated to
unbridled consumer spending across the
country. Folks don’t even sit down on
Thanksgiving anymore they are so preoccupied with
the once-a-year Internet sales on the following day.
KEY POINTS: It’s important to
correctly understand that all terror attacks have
multiple goals and purposes. Whereas the
globalists wanted to punish the great state of
Wisconsin for meting out justice for the Rittenhouse
case, they are also exceedingly desperate to change
the global conversation away from the rapidly
intensifying Covid vax mandate protests. Their
biggest fear is that We the People take back our power in
all 50 states, because such a sea change will see
the elites hanged live on the Internet for their
countless crimes against humanity committed over
centuries.

THE STATE OF THE DISUNION III
CRITICAL RACE THEORY
It exposes a radical
approach to education that pervades our schools and
upends all of our former notions of what education
should be, replacing the goal of fostering
inquisitive, capable minds with ideologically
trained readers, who already know what a text has to
say. Headline-making stories of racialized “affinity
groups” and “privilege walks” are only the most
visible elements of this pedagogy. Other seemingly
innocuous practices are also rooted in a philosophy
that treats the immutable characteristics of
students as their most central attributes.
Critical race theory flows from the more general
philosophy of education called “critical pedagogy,”
which, in brief, seeks to leverage every math class,
English lesson, history unit, elective, and
scientific concept as a means to inculcate a
political goal: the overthrow of
Enlightenment-based, classically liberal
principles—including the scientific method,
objective reasoning, evidence-based argument, and so
on.
“Critical race theory questions the very foundations
of the liberal order,” writes Richard Delgado, an
early scholar of CRT, “including equality theory,
legal reasoning, Enlightenment rationalism, and
neutral principles of constitutional law.” Though
its proponents defend CRT as merely teaching
“accurate” racial history, the discipline’s aim is
to use race and history as a lens through which to
judge—to condemn—Western values. Each branch of
critical pedagogy proceeds accordingly, using
gender, say, in the same way.

THE COVID-CON VII
PROOF: COVID vaccines cause prion
diseases
Twitter suspended my account (likely
forever since there is no appeal) due to one post
on prion diseases. Here's the information they
wanted to make sure you NEVER find out.
Summary
There
is no doubt the mRNA vaccines are causing prion
diseases. People didn’t have these diseases
before the shot and suddenly they develop them
after the shot. There is no other explanation
for this. None of the “fact checkers” can
explain the cause of the excess rates. Prion
diseases are incurable and always fatal. You can
die as soon as 6 weeks after COVID vaccination
(see within 6 weeks and within 6 months examples).
However, Twitter
believes this is not true, but they refuse to tell
anyone why they think that. Other fact checkers
who have checked this out never did a VAERS query
and are unable to explain away the “excess” number
of reports other than doing a blanket dismissal
that everything in VAERS is fraudulent without
providing any evidence of that claim (other than
one report out of 1.6M reports).
None of the fact
checkers will debate on this to set the record
straight.
[...]
Twitter refuses to
tell us what I said that was misleading?
Twitter won’t tell
me that!!!! They are deliberately withholding their
definitive analysis on this extremely important
scientific issue. Why???
I really want to
know. Obviously, Twitter fact-checkers (all of whom
I presume must have PhD degrees or MD degrees to be
able to assess my claims) were able to quickly read
all the medical literature and determine without a
doubt I made an error and should be terminated for
making a mistake. But they won’t tell me the mistake!!
If they want to
fight misinformation, why aren’t they posting a link
to their research proving me wrong when they
terminate the account. They obviously invested hours
of time in the research before they terminated me.
Why not provide a link to that research so everyone
can learn from it including me??
Here’s the
evidence for my claim
Back in May 2021
when Professor Byram Bridle was disclosing the FOIA
request on the Pfizer vaccine bio-distribution data
he mentioned that the spike protein was associated
with Lewy body formation which is linked to prion
diseases. He expressed concern that the vaccines
could cause prion diseases like dementia,
Alzheimer’s, and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD).
What do you know.
He was right. Now we have proof.
Check out these
VAERS query results. These searches
are over all 30 years of VAERS and all 70+
vaccines. See anything unusual? Yeah, for less than 1
year of the COVID vaccines, the results are off the
charts.
And for CJD which is
extremely rare:
Remember, these are
30 year searches for all vaccines. Clearly there are
excess reports. And we know VAERS isn’t being
“over-reported” this year which I’ve shown many
times before (events not caused by the vaccine are
reported at rates comparable to other vaccines).
If it wasn’t the
COVID vaccines causing this, what was the cause?
Nobody can answer
that question, not even the Twitter fact checkers!
For further
reading, check out these articles:
-
Jessica Rose’s article on COVID
vaccines and prion diseases
-
Stephanie Seneff’s paper on prion
disease and the COVID vaccines
-
Bart Classen’s paper linking the
vaccines and prion diseases
-

and induces Lewy body formation in macaques
-

Spike Proteins Enable Higher Affinity to

And compare them to
some of the “fact checks” which claim there are no
instances in VAERS which as you can see from the
queries above (which you can replicate yourself):
-
USA Today fact check on prion disease
-
Politifact "fact check" on prion
diseases
You decide who is
telling the truth.
And note that the
“fact checkers” never did a single VAERS query. Wow.
That’s the first place you’d look to prove the claim
is false. (read

THE COVID-CON VI
"Note that the
fearmongering hasn’t worked on me and my immune system
remains undisturbed by the existential dread and naked
terror so many suffer from."
Now you can see why the vaccines were a
mistake
From the Guardian:
A first case in
Europe of the new [omicron] variant of Covid-19
has been identified in Belgium in an
unvaccinated young adult woman who developed
mild flu-like symptoms 11 days after traveling
to Egypt via Turkey.
The patient did not
report any links with South Africa or other
countries in southern Africa. None of her family
members have developed symptoms. The patient was
said to have a high viral load at the time of
diagnosis by researchers at the universities, KU
Leuven and UZ Leuven.
This
means it [the omicron variant] is already
everywhere. And it should
be pretty obvious that the vaccines don’t work
against this: Israel reported a positive case in a
32 year old woman who received her third shot two
months ago.
The important thing to
remember is that you don’t need a virus that evades
100% of the vaccine induced antibodies for the
vaccine to fail. The vaxx
developers are in full damage control mode on
Twitter now, insisting that this is not
necessarily a big deal. All
evidence however suggests that the vaccines are
going to fail against this [omicron] variant. Of
course you’ll still have some immunity against
this variant from these vaccines, but there’s the
problem: You always have some immunity. You
already had some immunity from other
coronaviruses, but we know that some immunity
isn’t going to do the trick.
If it evades most of
your antibodies then it’s like sending off an army
faced with overwhelming odds. These
vaccines through original antigenic sin will
prohibit your body from generating a more
effective immune response. The spike
protein now looks pretty much completely different
and it’s now responsible for the majority of cases
in South Africa, this took place at a speed far
exceeding the rise of Beta and Delta.
Vaccinated
people are now stuck with this mediocre immune
response, that’s intended for a variant that no
longer exists. This really
looks like the scenario where you’re worse off
being vaccinated than you are if you’re
unvaccinated. And if this is somehow not
yet the big one, the one that uses everyone’s highly
identical immune response against the Wuhan version
of the spike protein to its own advantage, then you
can rest assured that when it grows dominant, it
will be giving birth to descendants that will do the
trick.
Let me grab an old
study from Japanese scientists, who tried to answer
the question: Under what
circumstances do we see antibody dependent
enhancement? That is, a
situation in which the virus uses your overall
vaccine induced antibody response to its own
advantage, leaving you
worse off than if you had never been vaccinated in
the first place. They determined it’s
pretty easy: You
take Delta and you add these four mutations:
K417N, N439K, E484K
and N501Y.
If you throw those
four mutations into Delta, you have a version that
uses your vaccine induced antibody response to its
own advantage.
Does that ring a
bell?
So let’s see:
-K417N: Bingo!
-N439K: No, but we
have N440K which is a neighboring mutation and
should perform the same trick of interfering with
the antibodies.
-E484K: We have
E484A, which means you have a mutation at the same
spot, but resulting in a different amino acid,
Alanine instead of Lysine.
-N501Y: Bingo!
In
other words, its mutations look pretty much
identical to what the Japanese scientists were
warning would allow Delta to use your vaccine
induced antibody response to its own advantage.
Oops.
The vaccine manufacturers are saying they’ll need
two weeks before figuring out whether the vaccines
will need to be updated or not. I don’t think you need two weeks to
figure out these vaccines are useless against this
thing. If healthy 32 year old triple
vaccinated people are getting infected and spreading
this thing, then your vaccine is useless.
This
leads to a number of awkward questions: I thought
you were going to update these vaccines for Delta?
Now there’s a new variant, unrelated to Delta, but
you’re going to update the vaccines for this new
variant? Oh and what does that mean for the people
who were scheduled to receive their booster to the
original variant?
I give it two
months at most, before you’ll be starting to see a
consensus shift: These vaccines were a big mistake.
Now you can see why. A new variant emerges that
seems to have evolved in someone who was HIV
positive while infected for an extended period of
time with SARS-COV-2, giving the virus ample time to
figure out an optimal solution to the vaccine
induced immune response.
The
other awkward question they don’t want to address
is as follows: How are you going to avoid an
original antigenic sin response to your new
variant-specific strain? How do you make
sure your new vaccine updated for this new strain
isn’t just going to boost the antibodies originally
developed against the original strain you vaccinated
everyone against? They have no
solution. In fact, this new strain spreads so fast
that if it escapes our attempts to contain it
(which all evidence suggests will be the case),
the new variant specific vaccine will come far too
late to make a difference.
And
that’s when it gets ugly. With
influenza, we
have an age-stratified layered immune response: The influenza virus
changes over time, so different age categories
have different immune responses to influenza. If a
new variant emerges that makes optimal use of one
age category’s immune response, it won’t help it
spread in other age categories.
For
this virus, we injected everyone with vaccines
that target an identical Spike protein. This means
that most adults in the Western world now have a
highly similar immune response to this virus.
All it takes is one variant of this
virus that figures out how to use that immune
response to its own advantage and you’re faced
with a disaster.
When
you try to generate a highly identical immune
response against this virus in everyone, to
protect 0.3% of the population, you’re setting
your whole society up for disaster when some
variant of this virus comes into existence that
isn’t affected by this vaccine induced immune
response.
The
vaccines were a mistake. You can’t develop a quick
and easy fix to a problem like this. When
you have a respiratory virus that kills around 0.3%
of people it infects, overwhelmingly elderly people
in poor health, then you’re better off asking
yourself what leaves 0.3% of people unable to fight
off this virus and focusing on addressing those
underlying problems. (read

Reader Comment:
[...]
Normally, after your first infection with a corona
virus you’re protected from reinfection for about a
year. After that, you’re susceptible to infection
again, but your risk of severe outcomes will have
gone down by 90%. This is exactly what we see with
this virus.
It would have been
really pretty simple. In March 2020 you tell the
elderly to stay inside and take vitamin D, you let
the young mingle and get sick. You have a spike in
deaths and then you go back to normal.
But
nope, they screwed up, gave
hundreds of millions of people a highly
homogeneous synthetic immune response against the
Wuhan spike protein and now whenever there’s any
significant change to the spike protein they have
to shut down the whole world, because we now have
hundreds of millions of sitting ducks.
You have
to wonder: What did they expect was going to
happen? Today it’s a HIV positive dude in
Botswana sparking the next variant. Tomorrow it’s a
HIV positive heroin addict in rural Russia. Next
week it’s a Leukemia patient in Germany.
Their solution seems to
depend on some sort of perfect world in which the
nations of the world cooperate to vaccinate 100% of
the global population, thereby exterminating this
virus despite these vaccines merely putting a small
dent in transmission.

THE COVID-CON IV
Are We Overreacting to
Omicron?
With natural exposure
immunity and early outpatient treatment and when
combined with no reports of increased lethality, the [Gates Foundation dominated] WHO’s
reaction of generating [planned] panic toward
“Omicron” is causing needless fear and panic [among
the gullible]. So too with the Biden
administration’s newly imposed travel restrictions,
which will achieve nothing and will once again disrupt
trade and violate human rights.
The WHO has said that
the Omicron variant can spread more quickly than other
variants. Likely true. The virus is behaving just like
how viruses behave. They are mutable
and mutate and via Muller’s ratchet, we expect this
to be milder and milder mutations and not more
lethal ones given the pathogen seeks to infect the
host and not arrive at an evolutionary dead-end.
The
virus will mutate downward so that it can use the
host (us) to propagate itself via our cellular
metabolic machinery. The Delta has shown us this: it
is very infectious and mostly non-lethal. Especially
for children and healthy people. So is the WHO
panicking the globe needlessly? Is this Covid-19
February 2020 once again?
The
problem with South Africa as is with Australia and
New Zealand and even island nations like Trinidad is
that it has low natural immunity to SAR-Cov-2. This
is because, as we witnessed over the last year and
more, if you lock down your society too long and too
hard, you deny the nation and population from
inching closer to population-level herd immunity.
And you have no economy or society from which
to reemerge. You devastate your society for a
pathogen that is largely harmless to the vast
majority of people especially children.
Moreover,
governments asked us for two weeks to flatten the
curve to help prepare hospitals so that they can
tend to surges and other non-Covid illnesses. We as
societies gave our governments 2 weeks, not 21
months. They failed to tend to the non-Covid
illnesses and we locked down the healthy and well
(children and young and middle aged healthy persons)
while failing to properly protect the vulnerable and
high-risk persons such as the elderly. They failed and it was like the killing
fields in our nursing homes.
This
failure rests on public health messaging and
government. Additionally, what did our
governments in the US, Canada, UK, Australia etc. do with the
tax money for the hospitals and PPE etc.? Hospitals
must be prepared by now. Governments
have failed! Not the people. The Task Forces have
failed, not the people.
These nations thought
that they could stay locked down and wait for a
vaccine. This is a reasonable view though I was
against lockdowns as they would and did cause crushing
harms on especially poor persons and children. The
problem is there was an opportunity cost because the
vaccine we were waiting on was suboptimally developed
without the proper safety testing or assessment of
effectiveness.
We
have data that the Pfizer vaccine loses 40% of
antibodies per month, meaning in 3 months post-shot,
you have low effective vaccinal immunity. We see it
clearly playing out now whereby you got to tamp down
spread with the draconian lockdowns, but you did it
at the cost of natural immunity. That is the
opportunity cost. So we spent on getting the vaccine
and it cost us natural immunity and thus herd
immunity.
For example, the vaccine has failed to stop infection
and spread against Delta. We have research
findings by Singanayagam
et al. (fully vaccinated
individuals with breakthrough infections have peak
viral load similar to unvaccinated cases and can
efficiently transmit infection in household
settings, including to fully vaccinated contacts),
by Chau
et al. (viral loads of
breakthrough Delta variant infection cases in
vaccinated nurses were 251 times higher than those
of cases infected with prior strains early 2020),
and by Riemersma
et al. (no difference in
viral loads when comparing unvaccinated individuals
to those who have vaccine “breakthrough” infections
and if vaccinated individuals become infected with
the delta variant, they may be sources of SARS-CoV-2
transmission to others) that reveal the vaccines
have very suboptimal efficacy.
This situation of
the vaccinated being infectious and transmitting the
virus has also emerged in seminal nosocomial
outbreak papers by Chau
et al. (HCWs in Vietnam), the
Finland
hospital outbreak (spread among HCWs and
patients), and the Israel
hospital outbreak (spread among HCWs and
patients). These studies have also revealed that the
PPE and masking were essentially ineffective within
the healthcare setting. All of the HCWs were
double-vaccinated yet there was extensive spread to
themselves and their patients.
In addition, Nordström et al. (vaccine
effectiveness of Pfizer against infection waned
progressively from 92% day 15-30 to 47% day 121-180,
and from day 211 and onwards no effectiveness), Suthar
et al. (a substantial waning
of antibody responses and T cell immunity to
SARS-CoV-2 and its variants, at 6 months following
the second immunization), Yahi
et al. (with Delta variant,
neutralizing antibodies have a decreased affinity
for the spike protein, whereas facilitating
antibodies display a strikingly increased affinity),
Juthani
et al. (higher numbers of
patients with severe or critical illness in those
who received the Pfizer vaccine), Gazit
et al. (SARS-CoV-2-naïve
vaccinees had a 13-fold increased risk for
breakthrough infection with the Delta variant, and
substantially elevated risk of symptomatic Covid and
hospitalization), and Acharya
et al. (no significant
difference in cycle threshold values between
vaccinated and unvaccinated, asymptomatic and
symptomatic groups infected with Delta) collectively
reveal the poor efficacy and even negative efficacy
of the Covid vaccines. Levine-Tiefenbrun
et al. reports that the viral
load reduction effectiveness declines with time
after vaccination, “significantly decreasing at 3
months after vaccination and effectively vanishing
after about 6 months.”
As an example,
the Swedish
study (retrospective
with 842,974 pairs (N=1,684,958) is of interest and
particularly concerning for it shows that while the
vaccine provides temporary protection against
infection, the effectiveness declines steadily and
researchers report “Vaccine effectiveness of
BNT162b2 against infection waned progressively from
92% (95% CI, 92-93, P<0·001) at day 15-30 to 47%
(95% CI, 39-55, P<0·001) at day 121-180, and from
day 211 and onwards no effectiveness could be
detected (23%; 95% CI, -2-41, P=0·07). The
effectiveness waned slightly slower for mRNA-1273,
being estimated to 59% (95% CI, 18-79) from day 181
and onwards. In contrast, effectiveness of ChAdOx1
nCoV-19 was generally lower and waned faster, with
no effectiveness detected from day 121 and onwards
(-19%, 95% CI, -97-28), whereas effectiveness from
heterologous ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 / mRNA was maintained
from 121 days and onwards (66%; 95% CI,
41-80).” Researchers contend that “Vaccine
effectiveness against symptomatic Covid-19 infection
wanes progressively over time across all subgroups,
but at different rate according to type of vaccine,
and faster for men and older frail
individuals.”
A further example
emerges from Ireland whereby reporting suggests that
the Waterford
city district has the State’s highest rate of
Covid-19 infections, while the county also boasts
the highest rate of vaccination in the Republic
(99.7% vaccinated). Reports are that the U.S. Covid-19
deaths for 2021 surpassed the
deaths from 2020, leading some to state that “more
people have died from COVID-19
in 2021, with most adults vaccinated and nearly all
seniors), than in 2020 when nobody was
vaccinated.”
Thus
these nations that locked down and stayed that way
are in a quandary for they do not know what to do
now. If you open you will get surges in infection.
Where is the money that was to go to hospital
preparation? Did governments embezzle and steal
and misappropriate the money for the hospitals
that still remain not prepared?
We
have a lot of natural immunity in the US, e.g. near
65-70% of the population. The open states (those
that did not lock down too long and too hard and
opened quickly) will likely do very well with this
Omicron or any new variant. This also is the power
of natural immunity.
And
we need not forget the potency of the overlooked
‘innate’ immunity with the innate antibodies and
innate natural killer cellular compartment. This
innate response is particularly potent in children
(our first line of defense against pathogens) and
is what has spared children from Covid and how
children typically stave off pathogens, especially
young children still laying down immunological
memory.
Moreover, there is no reporting of increased
virulence/lethality of this new Omicron variant.
As yet this will remain the case based on Delta and
prior variants. There are no guarantees but we
operate based on risk and all things point to the
same for this new variant.
Just
because there is a wave in SA does not mean that
there will be waves in the US or Israel or other
places with greater natural immunity. This
was the prize of letting people enjoy day-to-day
living. The nations that have ended
lockdowns are likely to move past this new variant
scare, and be fine. This
is more of an overreaction by the WHO and
governments and much ado about nothing. (read

THE COVID-CON III
(The authoritarians and their media lapdogs must think
we are idiots. Their breathless pandemic pronouncements
have mutated into dark comedy.)
Novavax Developing Vaccine
Against Variant That Appeared 72 Hours Ago – Will Be
Ready in Two Weeks, Already in Emergency Use Trials
in Indonesia and the Phillipines
Wow, 72 hours ago no
one even heard the name Omicron variant. Now, in less than three days, a variant
has been identified, global travel has been halted,
states of emergency have been declared, and now we
see a pharmaceutical company announcing the variant
specific vaccine trial that will begin in the U.S.
in a few weeks. This
government relationship with Big Pharma is certainly
generating some fast action, eh?
If a person were
cynically inclined; while knowing governments’ need to
control inflation yet cannot raise interest rates or
stop purchasing debt because current legislative
spending continues – a remarkable control option would
be to halt demand; and a person might think this was
suspicious, or something.
Nov 26 (Reuters)
– Novavax Inc said on Friday it had started
working on a version of its COVID-19 vaccine to
target the variant detected in South Africa and
would have the shot ready for testing and
manufacturing in the next few weeks.
The company’s COVID-19 shot contains an
actual version of the virus’ spike protein that
cannot cause disease but can trigger the immune
system. The vaccine developer said it had started
developing a spike protein specifically based on
the known genetic sequence of the variant,
B.1.1.529.
Novavax’s vaccine received its first
emergency use approval earlier this month in
Indonesia followed by the Philippines. Other
vaccine developers, including Germany’s BioNTech
SE and Johnson & Johnson, have said they are
testing the effectiveness of their shots against
the new variant, which is named Omicron by the
World Health Organization (read more)

THE COVID-CON I
(Bad boys who cry, "wolf." now cry, "delta" or
"omicron.")
U.S. Announces New Travel
Restrictions as Scientists Give New COVID Variant
The Name Omicron – A Strategic New Variant
Introduced to Help Offset Global Inflation
We originally
outlined the new COVID-19 variant along with the
international motives of the science community for
delivering it HERE.
Previously the new worrisome, 10 spike, vaccine
resistant variant was called “The B.1.1.529 variant“.
However, those types of names do not work well for
larger fear narrative distribution. As a result,
the international scientific community has given it
the name “Omicron“. Perhaps the “Merry
Christmas” variant would be culturally insensitive.
Globally, and not
coincidentally –politically–
the greatest challenge to those in power is a massive
rise in direct inflation. What is the quickest
way to eliminate the political risks due to
inflation? Shut down demand….. lock down the
economies… turn the values closed on economic
activity, and then watch oil prices plummet.
As the science is
told, Omicron originated in South Africa, Botswana,
Zimbabwe, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini, Mozambique and
Malawi. Government officials around the world
have responded to the Omicron variant by banning
travel from those countries. The U.K and
Australia kicked off the latest round of fear porn
with their travel bans. Subsequently, fellow EU
nations Austria, France, Italy, the Netherlands and
Malta all announced imminent entry bans to all
travelers who’ve entered South Africa and surrounding
nations in the past two weeks.
In North America, Canada will be
“banning the entry of foreign nationals…that have
traveled through southern Africa in the last 14
days,” due to the new coronavirus variant Omicron,
Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos said at a news
conference Friday. (link) And right on cue
the Biden administration joins the effort:
WHITE HOUSE –
“This morning I was briefed by my chief medical
advisor, Dr. Tony Fauci, and the members of our
COVID response team, about the Omicron variant,
which is spreading through Southern Africa. As a
precautionary measure until we have more
information, I am ordering additional air travel
restrictions from South Africa and seven other
countries. These new restrictions will take effect
on November 29. As we move forward, we will
continue to be guided by what the science and my
medical team advises.” (more)
As
if on cue, this happens:
The discovery of a
new Covid-19 variant
sent oil plummeting 13% on Friday, as investors
feared a wave of new government restrictions and
slower economic growth.
US crude finished
the day at a two-month low of $68.15 a barrel,
down 13.1% from Wednesday’s close. It was the
worst day for oil since April 27, 2020, when Covid
was spreading rapidly in the US. (link)
Under
this type of economic manipulation using science, the U.S. federal
government -and the multinational governments as a
whole- recapture control of inflation.
As you know, the
monetary policy to maintain an economic system
beneficial to Wall Street and the multinational
investment class means they need to keep interest
rates low even as they print more money vis-à-vis
the Build Back Better spending operation. {Go Deep} The primary way to
control inflation is for central banks (U.S. Fed) to
stop purchasing their own debt and/or raise interest
rates. However, that approach would be against
the interests of the multinational elites and
international finance system (World Economic Forum
agenda).
If you are a member
of the political elite and worried about the
electoral backlash from massively rising prices
hitting your citizenry, another way
to stop inflation is to shut down economic demand.
How
do you shut down global economic demand…. Omicron
!!
See
how that works?
As a result, we
enter the 2022 mid-term election under a scenario
where a new variant of COVID, Omicron, is now the
reason for government rules (Vaxx, Vaxx, Vaxx), a
slowed economy and a contraction of demand. Omicron becomes a justification and
excuse for lowered economic expectations.
Simultaneously,
inflation is artificially paused by using Omicron
as a pressure relief valve, and the central
bankers don’t have to worry about negative
consequences to the multinational corporations who
give them instructions.
Under
this strategy, the electorate can be duped into
reinstalling political ideologues, elites and
communists. And guess what? The U.S.
Energy Secretary doesn’t need to know what the
price of a barrel of oil costs.
Don’t
blame me, we just see this COVID variant stuff for
what it is…. useful. (read

DE-LEGITIMIZING COERCION & SOCIAL PRESSURE
America by Gaslight
When institutions and
authority figures present open questions as settled
and use coercive power to get their way, the
collapse of public trust is a predictable result
On Nov. 4, through an order from
the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA), President Joe Biden declared that all
organizations with 100 or more employees must require
those employees to either get vaccinated or submit to
weekly COVID tests. Some Americans saw the order as overstepping,
while others saw it as entirely
justified. There’s a legal debate to be had
about when and under what circumstances such a mandate
is permissible, and U.S. courts will surely sort
that out in the coming weeks and months.
But
the controversy raises a broader question about
coercion—the use of power to compel someone to
do something they don’t want to do. Coercion can take the form of a
mandate, or it can be more subtle, like intense
social pressure. Compulsion in this manner,
particularly in the workplace—given that people
rely on their jobs for their livelihoods—should
require a high level of confidence or certainty
that what is being compelled is defensible.
Sometimes this level of confidence is warranted.
And sometimes it isn’t.
When a question
has a clear and definitive answer, we feel
justified implementing policies and procedures
based on that answer. To take an obvious example,
we can be highly confident that stealing is wrong.
And because of this knowledge and understanding,
we have laws that impose consequences on those who
are caught stealing.
The imposition of
consequences works well when the issue at hand is
largely uncontroversial or the answer is
universally accepted (like the idea that stealing
shouldn’t be tolerated). However, basing policies
or procedures on the false treatment of a
contested answer as definitive—or committing the
“settled-question fallacy”—can have serious
negative consequences.
We
commit the settled-question fallacy when we
behave as if there is broad-based consensus on
answers to important and controversial questions
that aren’t actually settled. Often this
comes up when there is evidence available to
support competing answers to a question, or when a
claim is nearly impossible to prove or disprove. A particularly pernicious form of the
settled-question fallacy appears when one side
of the political spectrum asserts that a
question is no longer up for debate.
Although the
problem of combining coercion with the
settled-question fallacy extends far beyond things
like vaccine mandates, the example is instructive.
Some find Biden’s mandate objectionable because it pressures
people to undergo a medical procedure they don’t
want. Others object because they see the mandate
as based on assertions that one might reasonably
question, citing evidence that the vaccine’s effects
wane
quickly or that vaccinated people can
still spread the disease. It’s important to recognize
that some people see the issue of COVID vaccine
mandates as a simple dichotomy: If you care about
others’ well-being, you’re in favor, and if you
don’t, then you’re opposed. This equation is
indeed powerful. But without nesting it in a
broader conversation about the breakdown
in public trust, it makes itself more vulnerable
to skepticism and distrust than is perhaps
necessary. Indeed, this is why we need more, not
less, open and honest discourse that is willing to
acknowledge the limitations of our knowledge.
By
its very nature, the settled question fallacy is
likely to lead to coercive measures. It
is associated with a level of confidence in what’s
right similar to that which drives the prohibition
on stealing. But the combination
of the two—coercive measures and a false degree
of confidence—can be particularly destructive.
The
link between coercion and resentment is
something psychologists have recognized for
decades. In a 1959 paper titled “The Bases of
Social Power,” psychologists John French and
Bertram Raven wrote that coercive power “stems
from the expectation on the part of P that he will
be punished by O if he fails to conform to the
influence attempt,” where O is the person with
power and P is the person being influenced. French
and Raven pointed to an important contrast between
coercive power and reward power, which is another
type discussed in their paper. They wrote: “Reward
power will tend to increase the attraction of P
toward O; coercive power will decrease this
attraction.” Resentment is often the manifestation
of this decrease in attraction. Other
research has shown that,
because the probability of resentment under
coercion is so high, authority figures will
often opt to leverage reward power instead.
The
idea that coercion often breeds resentment
should come as no surprise. At a basic
level, children often resent their parents when
they’re punished for inappropriate behavior or
when they’re forced to go to the dentist. Indeed,
some among us might resent the very laws
(including the ones against stealing) that govern
our society because there’s a coercive threat of
punishment for breaking them.
But kids
sometimes need to be pointed in the right
direction to steer their behavior and, if having
healthy teeth is important, they need to see the
dentist. The reason someone can’t walk into your
house, take whatever he wants, and walk out
without risking arrest [or bullet holes] is
because of laws prohibiting such behavior. Without
them, we might just descend into chaos.
In each of these
cases, some source of authority—a parent or the
government—is insisting either that they know
what’s best for you (better behavior, clean teeth)
or that you have to comply for the good of society
(the alternative being chaos). To minimize the
likelihood of negative consequences, it’s best if
acceptance of those values is observed across the
political spectrum. With a broad base of
acceptance, any associated resentment is usually
tolerated as collateral damage. But
what about when that broad base isn’t
attainable? Knowing how to proceed in such
circumstances requires a more complete
understanding of how coercive power works.
When
it comes to pressure and coercion, the
perception that the person being coerced has of
the coercive source matters immensely. In
the 1960s and 1970s, Stanley
Milgram conducted a series of experiments
that showed this clearly: In his initial and most
famous
experiment, 65% of the participants demonstrated
obedience to authority when they were told to
deliver an electric shock to an unseen
confederate, often despite the person’s (fake)
screams of pain. In a series of Milgram’s slightly
lesser-known, follow-on
experiments, lower levels of obedience were observed
in the context of certain notable changes. For
instance, when the study was conducted in the
nearby town of Bridgeport, Connecticut, rather
than on the Yale University campus, compliance
decreased to 48%. When an “ordinary man” gave the
order to deliver the electric shock, it decreased
to 20%. In other words, perceptions of authority
and social context matter enormously when it comes
to the way that pressure is experienced.
The important
role of social pressure was again brought to the
fore by Phillip Zimbardo in the Stanford
Prison Experiment (SPE) in 1971. In
this study, participants were assigned to the
roles of guards or prisoners and, ultimately, came
to behave in ways that were consistent with their
fake roles (guards became dominant and forceful,
and inmates became submissive). Although the study
has come
under criticism in recent years,
Zimbardo has written in response that “the
SPE serves as a cautionary tale of what might
happen to any of us if we underestimate the extent
to which the power of social roles and external
pressures can influence our actions.”
The
complex relationship between these factors is
apparent when we look at instances of the
settled-question fallacy in which coercion takes
the form of judgment or ostracization, both of
which can be powerful forms of social pressure.
In our current moment, this scenario often
arises with controversial and sensitive issues
like those that touch identity or forms of
social equality.
Consider
for a moment some of the claims currently being
made about the relationship between gender and
biology: When we behave as though we know
everything there is to know about how the two
interact, we’re falling into the
settled-question fallacy. For example,
the assertion that “trans
women are women” is based on a claim
that biological sex and gender can be completely
decoupled. This claim is in
dispute, and yet it has started to reshape the
boundaries of our discourse. In several well-known
instances, author J.K. Rowling publicly
stated her belief that the assertion of no
distinction between trans women and women is
false. Rowling was subsequently labeled
“transphobic” and treated as beyond the
boundaries of acceptable discourse by those who
considered the question settled.
If
Rowling is considered bigoted for her beliefs,
the label can be applied to anyone who shares
her view. But because the relationship between
sex and gender is not fully understood,
condemning her for the opinion she expressed is
an example of judgment resulting from the
settled-question fallacy. This makes it an
unjustified attack on her character and that of
anyone sharing her opinion.
A
similar pattern emerges when it comes to
questions of disparities between groups.
Systemic (also sometimes referred to as
structural or institutional) racism is often
discussed as though it is the settled and
unquestioned explanation for differences in
educational attainment or wealth, among other
things. Questioning or debating this causal
relationship is often considered—in both public
discourse and by some scholars—as a form of that
same racism. However, labeling the act of
investigating the role of systemic racism as itself racism requires a
high level of confidence that we have all the
relevant information we need to understand the
complex causes of inequality. In other words, it
requires that this be a settled question.
Tarring someone
with a label like transphobia or racism is among
the most effective ways to damage reputations in
our society. In many ways, the fact that those
terms carry so much weight is a good thing: We [on the
Left] need them to pack a punch to keep people
from doing things that are widely considered
oppressive or unjust. However, when the terms are
used in combination with the settled-question
fallacy, it belies the reality of the state of our
knowledge on certain controversial and sensitive
topics and, predictably, it creates resentment.
This
combination of coercion and the settled-question
fallacy is a problem wherever it occurs.
When it happens in the specific
context of the workplace, employers ignore the
consequences at their peril: Referring
again to the literature in psychology, multiple
authors have noted the power of “negative
reciprocity” to build a hostile workplace. In one
example, the author summarizes negative
reciprocity as the fact that “the treatment people
experience creates an obligation to respond in
kind—favorable treatment for favorable treatment (i.e.,
positive reciprocity) and unfavorable treatment
for unfavorable treatment (i.e.,
negative reciprocity).” This concept may help
explain why, particularly in the workplace,
discourse around many controversial and sensitive
topics has become impossible to navigate.
And
yet, in spite of the negative impacts, this
dangerous combination—of coercive measures and
misplaced confidence in our knowledge—is present
in the vast majority of traditional diversity
training programs, which commit the
settled-question fallacy as it applies to
identity and [alleged] inequality. It’s also
present when people who express a preference not
to get the COVID vaccine are reflexively shamed
or otherwise scorned.
We
can avoid this toxic combination and the
inevitable resentment it creates by asking
ourselves a simple question: Based on what we
currently know, could a reasonably minded and
informed person come to a conclusion considered
by some to be objectionable? When the answer is
yes, procedures designed to compel behavior
should be implemented with extreme caution if at
all, and with full awareness of the resentment
that’s likely to follow. This remains true in
spite of the fact that some people come to
objectionable conclusions for less than
thoughtful reasons.
As with any
stylized conceptual framework, this one has its
limits. Most notably, the settled-question fallacy
applies to issues about which we either can’t know
the answer (if the claim is unfalsifiable or
untestable) or don’t know the answer yet.
Let’s return to
the example of J.K. Rowling. One might reasonably
ask: Why is it that only her critics are
committing the settled-question fallacy? Isn’t
Rowling doing the same? If she makes a claim
suggesting we know everything we need to know
about how sex and gender interrelate, then she is
indeed succumbing to the settled-question fallacy.
But I’m not aware of any evidence that she has
used it as a basis for labeling her ideological
opponents as bigots: a form of judgment or
ostracization. And it’s the combination of the
fallacy with coercion that is particularly toxic.
Avoiding it requires admitting to ourselves and to
others what we do and don’t know about a long list
of difficult topics. That is a daunting but
achievable goal. (read

LEGITIMIZING SUBSTITUTES
"Substitutism is becoming ubiquitous. A longer treatment
could include driverless cars, artificial intelligence,
online education, fiat currencies, unmanned space
missions, DACA, ever-escalating costs of military
hardware, and even globalism. In each case, a supplement
has already been turned into a substitute or is on the
verge of becoming one, to our detriment."
When Supplements Become
Substitutes
A theory of nearly
everything
In 2017, more than
64,000 people in America died from opioid overdoses.
The New York Times
has called it the “deadliest drug crisis in American
history,” but it’s not the only
overdose crisis that America faces. It is
just one among others, in which modern American life
gets the dosage wrong, so to speak.
The idea that a
substance in one dose can save and in another dose can
harm has an ancient pedigree. In Plato’s Republic,
Socrates distinguishes between two kinds of doctors:
those who administer a circumscribed dose of medicine
to help their patients reestablish the health they
enjoyed before falling ill; and those whose “cure”
requires their patients to take medicine indefinitely
because reestablishing a healthy, medicine-free
condition is impossible. Proper use of medicine,
Socrates maintains, is as a supplement taken to cure
an ailment, after which patients regain their health.
By contrast, as a substitute, medicine no longer cures
because patients depend on a regular, and perhaps
increasing, dose to stay alive. Here the medicine is a
substitute, a stand-in, for their health. Patients
live, but death is right around the corner, should
they stop taking their medicine. They live a life of
“lingering death,” Socrates says. The patient living
on substitutes is always living on borrowed time.
An observation from
Jean-Jacques Rousseau makes this problem of the
substitute clearer. In his “First Discourse,” Rousseau
compares ancient warriors, who have few weapons, with
“modern scientifically trained soldiers.” The ancient
soldiers, he writes, are courageous. The weapons they
use, like prostheses, are the supplements to their
courage. Modern soldiers have much more powerful
weapons; but without courage, they will not know how
to use their weapons well—and perhaps will be too
frightened to use them at all. Modern soldiers think
that they are superior to ancient warriors because
their weapons are more powerful—and, in a quantitative
sense, that is true. Rousseau’s important insight is
that weapons can either be supplements to courage or
substitutes for courage. If weapons become
substitutes, modern soldiers live on borrowed
time—eventually, warriors who know the right use of
weapons will overwhelm them. Like Plato’s doctors,
warriors must understand that they cannot turn
supplements into substitutes without cost.
Thinkers
have long wondered about the relationship between
supplements and substitutes, but we have lost sight
of the distinction in our own day. To bring
it up to date, consider the everyday example of the
meal and vitamins. We find our vitamins in the
supplement section of the grocery store. When we buy
vitamins, we buy them with a view to our meals and
their occasional deficiencies. The meal is the
important thing, to which vitamins must always refer
if they are to be used effectively. When vitamins work
as a supplement—making us stronger, more alert, or
less fatigued—we are tempted to go further, to take
more of them. We ponder, in light of their success,
whether the source of our newfound powers is the
supplement itself, independent of the meal. Why bother
with the time-consuming task of becoming a good cook,
making a meal, and sitting at the table when a few
pills or powders will do the trick? These supplements,
we convince ourselves, are the real source of our
power. We think that we have miraculously bypassed the
labor of making a meal. In fact, the results we get
are possible only because our last meal is still with
us, a referent to which the supplement is oriented,
even if we have lost sight of it.
The strange but
euphoric moment after the benefits of the
supplement-turned-substitute have kicked in—but before
our world collapses because “man cannot live by
substitutes alone,” to twist a phrase—is our moment of
greatest temptation. What is impossible seems
miraculously possible. Lead has turned into gold.
Eureka! In that moment, we fall victim to what I’ll
call “substitutism.” The opioid addict, in this
regard, is merely practicing a different kind of
substitutism from Rousseau’s warrior: both are “high”
on the prospect that they have cheated the natural
order of things, whose fixed law is that when
supplements are turned into substitutes, a price must
be paid.
Substitutism
is the great pathology of American life. Any number
of social and cultural developments, all of which
seem unrelated, fall within its purview. Nearly
everywhere we look, we are living on an
unsustainable high, on borrowed time.
Consider the following
list of phenomena that catch our attention as
curiosities, strike us as serious problems, or bring
us inordinate joy. In each case, a
supplement has been turned into a substitute. As
such, the phenomenon is living on borrowed time. How
long the euphoric high can last, no one can say. What
we can say is that the substitute must change from
gold back to lead, must return to being a mere
supplement; and that this reverse alchemy can happen
only when we first remember, and then return to, the
original meal.
We will consume 500
billion plastic bottles of water per year by 2021.
Most of those bottles will end up in landfills, burn
in incinerators (if not in smoldering garbage piles),
or float in our oceans for generations. Before bottled
water, most of us got our water from the faucet, in
our homes, without companies monetizing it. Where your
water is, your home is, and vice versa. We left our
homes on errands and trips, of course; and when we
did, we occasionally brought along bottled water as a
supplement, knowing that the meal, so to speak, was
waiting for us at home. For some time, beverage
companies have wanted us to get all the water we need
from them, in bottled form. This goal would have been
unachievable unless we already felt the temptation to
turn supplements into substitutes. When supplements
for the meal at home become substitutes, our attention
shifts away from the home, and home life withers.
Drinking water from a bottle is the substitutism
befitting the homeless soul, the soul always “on the
go,” euphoric and unbound—the soul that dreams of a
tiny house on wheels or of van living (both rapidly
developing movements in America, as YouTube confirms).
This particular version of substitutism may yet give
rise to a grave natural crisis. It seems like a
trivial example, but it is sometimes in the trivial
things that deeper problems reveal themselves.
We crave fast food,
even as we grow more obese. Whereas plastic
water-bottle substitutism produces pollution in the
physical environment, fast-food substitutism produces
the pollution in our bodies. Nothing so distinctly
characterizes man than that his most important moments
happen around the table. Without the liturgical
recapitulation of the Lord’s Supper, what would have
held together Christian churches through the ages?
When tensions are high and things get serious, we come
to the “bargaining table.” When we want the real scoop
from our friends and family, we sit down for some
table talk. For family to remain the basic unit of
human life, without which civilization cannot survive,
its members need to gather around the table for a
meal.
Fast food is the
supplement to that meal around the table. It holds us
together while we are on the go, until we return home
and resume the choreography of the meal—preparation,
gathering, presentation (perhaps accompanied by
prayer), conversation, concluding rituals, cleanup.
This home-meal choreography is the referent for fast
food, without which fast food cannot be the successful
supplement that it is. When the supplement becomes the
substitute, however, the choreography is lost from
view, and fast food becomes just a mechanical mode of
consumption, indulged excessively because the meal’s
other associated satisfactions—close friends, family
members, gratitude, humor, joy—are absent. When we do
not know what will sate us, we will feed excessively.
Plato saw this long ago. That is why no effort to
count calories will save us from the indulgence we now
wear around our bodies. Our hunger is not for
calories; it is for the choreographed, liturgical
splendor of the meal. Absent that, we grow fatter by
the day and wonder why our hunger never retreats.
Marriages produce
fewer babies, even as the permutations of having sex
preoccupy our minds. From the vantage point of the
question “What is necessary for civilization to
survive?” sex with a view to childbirth in marriage is
the referent, while having sex within the marriage is
the supplement. For much of American history, this was
the prevailing understanding.
The “high” of the
sexual revolution involved turning the supplement of
having sex within marriage into a substitute not
requiring marriage. The lead weight of marriage, which
linked sex to the labor of having and raising
children, was turning into the gold of having sex,
anywhere and with anyone, without cost and without
regard to generation. Once this happened, and
generative marriage was no longer the referent, there
was no longer a compelling legal ground to confine
having sex to men with women. Further, getting
pregnant became the collateral damage of having sex,
rather than its purpose, which invited not only the
legality of abortion but also the subtle encouragement
of it. Abortion is, in this view, merely a choice,
rather than, say, a moral agony. These are the
well-known consequences of the sexual revolution.
What
if our fixed law that supplements cannot be turned
into substitutes can, in fact, be violated?
Wouldn’t that make having sex the new meal, so to
speak? If so, wouldn’t we expect that supplements to
that meal would soon make their appearance—ones whose
referent is having sex with another man or woman but,
like fast food, would provide something akin to it
without the ordeal and preparation necessary for the
meal? Pornography fits into this category, and soon,
we’re told, we can expect robotic sex “partners”—the
next vitamin for the meal of having sex.
If supplements can be
turned into substitutes, why stop there, at the first
transmutation that turns lead into gold? Might our
substitutes themselves require supplements, which, in
turn, become substitutes requiring additional
supplements, ad
infinitum? Having reached the limits of our
imagination with respect to supplements involving
fixed gender orientation, why not the supplement
involving unfixed and ever-chosen (or never-chosen)
gender orientations, which themselves then become the
new substitute? Here we discover transgenderism, which
would compel us to abandon the male and female
pronouns that pertained to the original meal and its
supplement, because that quaint arrangement has been
wholly superseded.
If the
fixed law remains intact that supplements cannot be
turned into substitutes without exacting an immense
price, then we are living on borrowed time, because
generation and having sex within the confines of
marriage are the meal and plausible supplement, from
which we cannot long depart without dying of hunger.
Substitutism in this matter would bring us to a
civilizational dead end. Alternatively, if supplements
can be turned into substitutes without cost, and
these, in turn, invite new supplements, and so on, we
should welcome the repudiation of the old meal that
poisons us like lead and should live in the light of
this new golden age. There is no
intermediate alternative; either the fixed law
remains intact, or it does not. That is the
question lurking in the argument that we are having
today about what having sex can legitimately mean.
Meanwhile, marriages in the developed world—the region
where substitutism is most pervasive—are producing
fewer and fewer children. (read

LEGITIMIZING AN IDEA
On Received Ideas
Puncturing some
prominent myths of our age, from neoliberalism to
anti-Americanism
[...] Since no one
reads Hegel anymore—and it was he who created the
formulation in 1806—we mention the “End of History”
these days only in connection with the American
political theorist Francis Fukuyama. In a famous 1989
article published under this title in the United
States, and then in a book that further develops the
theme, Fukuyama appeared as a kind of prophet: the
fall of the Berlin Wall, which coincided with its
publication, announced that the history of political
evolution had concluded, with democratic capitalism
the victor. But meantime, history
resumed, and Fukuyama’s theory is now commonly cited
with derision. This is a mistake: Fukuyama was
actually right. But we had misread him, just as we
had earlier misread Hegel.
Both
Hegel and Fukuyama tell us that history has meaning,
which remains to be shown, and that ideas govern the
world, which annoyed Marx and later the Marxists.
Fukuyama observes that contemporary history can be
summed up as the confrontation between two
ideas—socialism and capitalism—and that, after 1989,
only one of these ideas remains viable: this is the
End of History, as envisioned by Hegel. All societies
are heretofore proceeding toward the same endpoint.
More precisely, all try to do so but not at the same
speed, and not all will make it there, Fukuyama says.
But among the ideologies currently available, there no
longer exists an alternative endpoint, or else these
alternatives are situated beyond this world, such as
the Islamist caliphate, which, moreover, has no
universal value, since Islamism is valid only for
Muslims. Still, Fukuyama did not exclude the
possibility that, in some unforeseeable future, human
passions would generate alternative utopias that would
put history back on its tracks.
From
whatever point of view the End of History thesis is
examined, however, it is currently irrefutable; what
is surprising is that it remains so contested.
It is history’s losers who object to
it: those on the right who dislike capitalism
because it is materialist and associated with America;
and those on the left who deplore the disappearance of
the socialist utopia that was so attractive, as long
as it was not put into practice.
It’s
worth noting, too, that Fukuyama never claimed that
the End of History would be all rosy. Between the
realists who “won” and the “deniers” of this
reality, the fight would go on—as it has. (read

DE-LEGITIMIZING MAINSTREAM MENDACITY
(Never trust the Ministry of Truth.)
Your Default Assumption Should
Be That Everything Corporate Media Says Is A Lie
The media’s deluge of
lies about the Rittenhouse case is a disturbing
reminder that the corporate press lies about
everything all the time.
As far as corporate
media are concerned, the massacre in Waukesha, Wis.,
on Sunday was a “Christmas parade crash.”
That’s how the
attack that killed six people and injured more than
60 others is being described by ABC News, CBS
News, CNN, Newsweek and others. Not an
intentional attack, not a massacre
allegedly committed by a
violent career criminal already facing multiple
felony charges, but merely a crash. The New York Times
is calling it a “tragedy.”
Not to be outdone
by major news outlets, The Daily Beast rushed
to remind its readers that “there are no
indications of any additional motive for the
Waukesha killings, or any reasons to label it
domestic terrorism. That didn’t stop these
right-wing trolls.”
Oh no we wouldn’t
want to assign ideological motives to a case too
soon. But these damn right-wing trolls sure will! No
mention from the Beast, of course, of the worst
possible example of that in the Kyle Rittenhouse
case, which every major news organization gladly
went along with.
Here’s the thing. The next time you read an article
in the New York
Times or the Atlantic, watch a bit of breaking
news on MSNBC or a panel on CNN, or hear a report on
NPR, your default assumption should
be that what you are reading, watching, or hearing
is not true. Either it is an outright falsehood, a
distortion of the facts, or not the whole story. That should be your posture toward
literally every piece of news you consume from
corporate media from now on.
There is ample
justification for such a posture. It’s justified by
every single major news story in recent years — the
Russia collusion hoax, the origins of the pandemic,
the [Only] Black Lives Matter riots, Hunter Biden’s
laptop, the debate over Covid vaccines, the January
6 riot, and especially the Rittenhouse trial, to
name just a few. Every one of these
stories, and many more besides, were dishonestly
reported by a corrupt media establishment that you
should never trust again.
Consider the
Rittenhouse trial. How many times in recent weeks
did you hear that Rittenhouse “crossed state lines”
with an “illegal firearm”? Or that his mother drove
him to Kenosha, Wis., that night? Or that
Rittenhouse was a white supremacist and the men he
shot were black? How many times did you hear that
the Kenosha riot was over the police “killing” of an
“unarmed” black man, Jacob Blake?
You
probably heard all of that, a lot. We all did.
None of it is true. The
corporate press lied incessantly about nearly
every little detail of the Rittenhouse case, and
it was aided in that deception by Big Tech, which
has also forfeited any presumption of trust by its
users.
In the immediate
aftermath of the Kenosha riots last summer, Facebook
proclaimed that Kyle Rittenhouse had committed “mass
murder,” blocked all searches of his name, and
censored all “praise or support” for him, including
links to fundraising sites contributing to his
defense. Eventually, fundraising sites like PayPal
and GoFundMe did the same.
Facebook wasn’t
alone. Before Rittenhouse’s trial, Twitter censored
and suspended users who dared to say the teenager
hadn’t done anything wrong and acted in
self-defense. After a jury acquitted Rittenhouse on
all counts, confirming that indeed he did nothing
wrong and acted in self-defense, Twitter continued
to censor users and suspend accounts that declared
Rittenhouse’s innocence, even though it was now a
matter of judgment in a court of law, not opinion or
speculation.
Big Tech’s official
position, long before the trial, was that
Rittenhouse was guilty. For Twitter, at least,
Rittenhouse remains guilty in some sense, despite
his acquittal on all charges. If you wanted to post
about the case on these platforms, there was only
one opinion you were allowed to have.
It was the same
with The New York
Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story last year.
Twitter banned the Post over it, suspending its
account and demanding the paper delete all tweets
about the story, which turned
out to be completely true, as the Post insisted
it was and as Hunter’s former busines partner Tony
Bobulinski confirmed at the time.
Regardless, most
corporate outlets worked to suppress the story until
the election was over. Only this past September did
Politico admit
the story was true. Yet The New York Times
continued to call it “unsubstantiated” before quietly
deleting the false claim amid pushback.
It
is the same with nearly every major issue in every
major news cycle. During the gubernatorial
election in Virginia, where the influence of
critical race theory on public school curricula
became a flashpoint in the race, we heard over and
over from corporate outlets and talking heads that,
actually, critical race theory isn’t even taught in
Virginia schools! Glenn Youngkin, they said, was
simply lying. But of course they
were the ones lying, along with Democratic
candidate Terry McAuliffe, whose lies cost him the
election.
Once
you notice what is happening, it is impossible to
un-see it. Just this past weekend, a
shocking report by The New York Times
about how Hunter Biden helped a Chinese conglomerate
secure a major cobalt mine in Congo was assiduously
ignored by every major news network. The networks showed
zero curiosity about President Biden’s son
facilitating the purchase from an American company
of one of the world’s richest cobalt mines in 2016,
when Joe Biden was still vice president. Instead,
ABC News hyped
online Black Friday deals, while CBS and NBC News
focused on LeBron James’ suspension.
On
and on it goes. If the media are not [only] lying
outright, they are distorting or ignoring major
stories that undermine their preferred narratives.
You won’t have to wait long for this to happen
again. It will probably happen this week.
When it does,
remember that this is what the corporate press has
been doing for years now. They are
not interesting in informing their readers and
viewers, they are interested only in telling you
what to think. That is their entire raison
d’être.
And rest assured
that if you do somehow end up with
the wrong opinion, Big Tech will silence you. (read

LEGITIMIZING WHITE-HATING JEWISH CENSORS
Federal Government's "Domestic
Extremism" Committee Is Being Run By The ADL and
SPLC, Leaked Documents Show
The US government's
war on political dissent is being guided by private
left-wing and Zionist organizations, National Justice
can report.
An
internal document regarding the Pentagon's
"Countering Extremism Working Group" (CEWG) from
last April names the individuals and groups that are
slated for membership in a subcommittee that
specializes in setting targets for the Defense
Department, Department of Homeland Security and
Department of Justice's war on conservative and
nationalist leaning Americans.
Government
officials tend to keep details of their
collaboration with "private partners" secret out of
fear of the public knowing the prejudices and biases
informing policy.
Some names that stand
out are Mark Pitcavage of the Anti-Defamation League,
former Southern Poverty Law Center agent Heidi
Beirich, Lecia Brooks and Susan Corke, also of the
SPLC, and various figures representing the American
Civil Liberties Union and the FBI Agents Association.
These
lobbyists and political activists are being hired by
the government as "partners" on "counter extremism
and counter terrorism to better understand the scope
of the [imaginary] problem."
In
other words, they will have a say in which Americans
have rights and which Americans are "domestic
extremists" subject to the full force of the US
intelligence apparatus.
The
definition of "extremism" used by the ADL and the
SPLC would be considered extreme in and of
themselves by most Americans.
For example, the ADL
considers Fox News' Tucker Carlson to be a domestic
extremist. Recently the same group declared calling
attention to Israel's human rights abuses is also
"extremism." By deferring to the ADL's guidance on
these matters, the US government is criminalizing the
opinions of millions of Americans.
Other figures such as
Leicia Brooks and Heidi Beirich are alleged to be
involved in extremism and criminal activity
themselves. Early last year, Lecia Brooks helped lead
an illegal armed communist march through the streets
of a small town in Stone Mountain, Georgia.
As for Beirich, she is
accused in federal court of paying a man to rob a
computer and then using the stolen contents to defame
a man on the SPLC's website.
The
SPLC currently employs multiple open supporters of
Antifa, including Michael Edison Hayden, who
has previously threatened people with sending his
Antifa contacts to people's houses. The SPLC's "hate
map" is not only a fraud, it is notoriously
hyper-partisan.
The ACLU's inclusion
in the CEWG subcommittee appears to be a hedge against
complaints that the FBI and DHS targets Muslims. While
American intelligence agencies have indeed violated
the rights of Muslims, the ACLU has
shown in recent years that it is not interested in
defending the civil liberties of those dubbed "white
nationalists" or right-leaning individuals in
general.
Josh Zive, head of the
FBI Agents Association, is also part of the group. The off-the-rails FBI has been demanding
Congress pass a "domestic terrorism law" so that
they can be free to prosecute Americans for their
political beliefs even when they aren't committing
any real crimes. Looking at the zeal that
FBI agents have pursued Trump supporters who
trespassed at the Capitol compared to the deadly
anarchist violence that terrorized multiple cities
last year offers a hint as to who they want to shut
down.
Nobody has been killed
by so-called "Racially Motivated Violent Extremists"
in 2020 or 2021, the main target of the supposed
"domestic terrorism" crackdown. This
has not stopped the Department of Homeland Security
from crying wolf about supposed "white supremacists"
waiting to strike as COVID restrictions are eased.
According to the DHS'
terrorism advisory this week, Russia, China and Iran
are responsible for the rash of black attacks on
people of Asian descent, as well as complaints that
the DHS cannot point to any specific imminent "white
supremacist" threat because the mysterious and unknown
actors are using encrypted apps to plot their attacks.
This nonsense amounts to political
theater, showing a fundamental lack of seriousness
coming from Washington.
While the FBI, DHS and
Defense Department have discredited themselves
domestically and globally, their desperation should
not be ignored. If the ADL and SPLC
get to decide what constitutes "domestic extremism,"
the new post-legal era of rampant government abuse
is only getting started. (read

LEGITIMIZING PORN FOR TOTS (As well as homosexual how-to
books.)
"Diane Chen, the division councilor for the board, also
reposted claims that the calls to remove alleged
pornography are hurting black and LGBTQ groups."
Top Librarian Leadership
May Not Want ‘Pornographic’ Books Removed From
School Libraries
The majority of
governing board members for the American Association
of School Librarians expressed that they believe the
removal of alleged “pornographic images” from school
libraries is akin to “book banning,” according to
their social media posts.
The American
Association of School Librarians (AASL) is a branch
of the American Library Association that
specifically serves primary and secondary schools.
The AASL is at the forefront of a contentious debate
among parents over whether books with pornographic
images and sexual narratives belong in school
libraries.
“Fun
Home” is among the books considered
“inappropriate” by some parents. The
book shows images of oral sex and signs
hanging in a bedroom that read “Lesbian
Terrorist,” and “Keep Your God Off My Body.”
(RELATED:

A majority of the
AASL’s Board
of Directors posted online calling for all books to
remain in school libraries. Several
reposted claims that the removal of books is
anti-LGBT and advocated for purchasing more books
that tell stories about “underrepresented
communities.”
Sylvia Knight
Norton, the executive director of the AASL’s board,
retweeted a post that read, “Is there anything more
actual cancel culture than trying to get books
banned from schools en masse because they make you
feel uncomfortable or have a differing world view
[sic]?”
Erika Long, the
board’s secretary and treasurer, reposted a tweet
that read, “I am so disgusted with
this country.” She also retweeted a post that said
“queer content” is not “pornographic.”
“Books
with queer content aren’t inappropriate or
pornographic. They’re books,” the tweet
read. “Books belong in classrooms and school
libraries. If a parent does not want his/her/their
child to read a book, fine. But that parent has no
right — no right — to say other kids cannot read
those books.”
Long also retweeted
that “School librarians do not purchase pornography

LEGITIMIZING COMMITTEES FOR THE DEFENSE OF THE
REVOLUTION
‘Maybe You’ll Need To
Report A Relative To The FBI!’ An Atlantic
Writer’s Advice For Dealing With Conservative Family
On Thanksgiving
A Wednesday
newsletter from The Atlantic urged readers to use
Thanksgiving as an opportunity to “deprogram” their
conservative relatives.
“Maybe you’ll plant the seed, sow just a little
doubt about whatever Tucker Carlson is saying now,”
Molly Jong-Fast wrote. “Or maybe you’ll need
to report a relative to the FBI!”
Jong-Fast described
Thanksgiving
as an invariably disappointing day that does not live up
to the “hallmark-movie fantasy.” Jong-Fast’s
best Thanksgiving, she wrote, was the one she
spent in rehab when she was 19.
The writer rejected
the idea that Thanksgiving should be a time of
niceties, gratitude and harmony. Instead, she
argued, readers should turn the holiday into an
opportunity to tell their “creepy uncle” to get the
vaccine or tell their aunt that
her news sources are biased and unreliable. Her
readers may be the only ones to tell their anti-vax
cousin that the vaccine won’t make her infertile,
Jong-Fast explains.
She told readers
that some of their family members likely “follow
QAnon” and need to be educated at Thanksgiving about
the COVID-19 vaccine’s safety or the authenticity of
the 2020 election.
“I’ve done 43
Thanksgivings … I’m here to tell you Thanksgiving is
terrible, and if you at least spend the time trying
to deprogram your niece, you won’t be bored or
depressed,” Jong-Fast wrote.
“It’s a humor
piece,” Jong-Fast tweeted Wednesday in response
to criticism of the piece. (read

LEGITIMIZING PEDOPHILIA
["trans"] Professor Resigns
After Saying Its Not Immoral For Adults To Be
Sexually Attracted To Children
A Virginia university
professor who claimed it was not immoral for adults to
be sexually attracted to children has resigned
following criticisms.
The Old Dominion University (ODU) announced Wednesday
Allyn
Walker,
34, will be stepping down from his position as an
assistant professor of sociology and criminal justice
beginning in May of 2022. Until then, Walker will be
on leave, according to the university.
“We have concluded
this outcome is the best way to move forward,”
President of ODU Brian O. Hemphill said. “We hope today’s
action helps bring closure for our Monarch family.
As we move forward, I encourage all members of the
Monarch family to continue our efforts toward
healing and civil discourse.”
Walker said his
scholarship “aims to prevent child sexual abuse” and
that his research was “mischaracterized by some in
the media and online, partly on the basis of my
trans identity.”
Walker’s book, “A Long,
Dark Shadow: Minor-Attracted People and Their
Pursuit of Dignity,” challenged
“widespread assumptions that persons who are
preferentially attracted to minors – often referred
to as ‘pedophiles’ – are necessarily also predators
or sex offenders.” (RELATED:

Themselves In Front Of Class Charged With Over A

The
book looks at the “lives of non-offending
minor-attracted persons,” which is a term used to
describe the group because it is less stigmatizing
than a word like “pedophile,” Walker said
in an interview with Prostasia
Foundation, a non-profit that focuses on child
protection along with an “evidence-based approach”
to child sex abuse prevention, according to the site.
Walker said in a statement that “child sexual
abuse is morally wrong and inexcusable crime.” (read
