America’s Cities In Crisis: Daily Caller’s ‘Lawless’ To Expose Fallout Of ‘Defund The Police’

/in , , , , /by

By The Daily Caller

In 2022, the Daily Caller’s debut documentary, “Damaged,” exposed the gut-wrenching truth about children victimized by the transgender movement. But the trans social contagion is just one of many crises in American life today. Now, the Daily Caller is undertaking a new venture to expose the failed policies and corrupt ideology of our ruling elites. Our new feature film, “Lawless,” debuts Oct. 26 and will expose the real cost of the “Defund the Police” movement.

There is an epidemic of violence in cities across America. Millions of Americans feel unsafe commuting to work, enjoying public spaces or even just leaving their homes. The most beautiful cities in America have been consumed by brazen crime, mental illness, violence and drug use.

Tent cities, once a hallmark of the third world, are now all too common from New York to San Francisco. Once-thriving commercial districts have collapsed, leaving local communities impoverished and isolated. Subways and buses have transformed into mobile homeless shelters, filled with the stench of human decay. People living in America’s major cities put their lives on the line every time they go outside.

This decline is not fate. It is not inevitable. It is, in fact, a choice — a choice made by progressive leadership across the country since 2020. With the help of our dedicated Patriots subscribers, the Caller will help show America that we do not have to live this way any longer.

“Lawless” will expose the true human cost of turning against law enforcement. We are traveling across the country to discover the terror that has been unleashed upon American cities as a result of the “Defund the Police” movement. We will uncover how the movement became as powerful as it did and give a voice to the forgotten men and women who bear the brunt of the violence in their daily lives. We will reveal the true stories that the corporate media has worked tirelessly to conceal since the “mostly peaceful” riots began in 2020.

More importantly, we will investigate the impending crisis that is yet to unfold. The “Defund” movement is still fairly recent and its effects are just beginning to be seen. But its proponents have entrenched themselves in the system and settled in for the long-haul. They are determined to abolish the police altogether. We will uncover just how much worse things could get as a result of this depraved movement while we strive to empower citizens with the facts and foresight they need to resist the madness.

In 2020, the most radical elements in American society found the opportunity they had long been seeking when Devin Chauvin was recorded with his knee on George Floyd’s neck. The incident was said to represent the worst of America, a truth that had long been obscured — that America’s institutions, including the police, are shot through with racism.

Amidst the chaos of the 2020 election and COVID-19 pandemic, the “Defund the Police” movement was born as millions of well-meaning Americans were bullied into submission by anti-police ideologues. Chant the slogans, wave the flags, take to the street — from corporations, to celebrities to the government and media, every power center in America issued the same commands. Americans accepted — or at least were too afraid to speak out against — the idea that a mysterious, ever-present racism plagued our society and that the system itself must be “reimagined.”

Facing unprecedented hostility and abuse from local officials, police officers around the country are quitting their at a “rate never before seen,” according to the Fraternal Order of Police. While liberal elites can hide in their gated communities guarded by private security, the most vulnerable communities suffer.

If we stay on the current course, younger generations will no longer remember what it was like to live in safe and vibrant communities. Already, too many have adapted to this “new normal,” accepting that chaos is just the price of life in a big city. It doesn’t have to be this way. We can reject this new normal and strive for better. The Daily Caller aims to help America do just that.

The Daily Caller’s documentary productions are made possible by our faithful Patriots members, and we wouldn’t be able to do it without them. For the best political analysis in the business, please consider subscribing.

And Lead Us Not Into Temptation thumbnail

And Lead Us Not Into Temptation

/in , , , , /by

By Jerry Newcombe

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” — John Adams

In scanning the headlines, it’s amazing how many of them chronicle the fall of those who have given themselves over into one temptation after another.

We are all sinners. We all need the salvation Christ has provided for sinners through His atoning death. But when He enters a life and forgives the sinner who believes, Jesus puts His Holy Spirit in that person and gives them the power not realized before to resist temptation.

Throughout the centuries, the bells of Christendom have pealed a tune that actually reminds the knowledgeable hearer of our need for God’s help to overcome temptation that very hour.

This tune I refer to is called “the Westminster chimes,” as in Westminster Abbey. This tune is heard in churches and college campuses across America—and if you own a grandfather clock, or any kind of chiming clock, you too are very familiar with this 16-note melody that plays at the beginning of every hour.

The words to the hourly tune go like this: “Lord, in this hour, be thou our guide, that by thy power / no foot shall slide.” A foot sliding was an old-fashioned way of referring to falling into sin.

We can learn about dealing with temptation through the Biblical account of Cain and Abel, especially in the dialogue between God and Cain. By way of review, Cain and Abel were the first born sons of Adam and Eve after our first parents were expelled from paradise because of their sin.

Cain was a farmer. Abel was a shepherd. They both made offerings of their harvest to God, but the Lord accepted Abel’s and not Cain’s. This made Cain sullen and angry at his brother. He kills Abel, and when God confronts him about it, he replies—as if he could hide from God—“Am I my brother’s keeper?”

But before Cain does his evil act, God reaches out to him to offer him a way of escape from himself:  “So the Lord said to Cain, ‘Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it” (Genesis 4:6-7).

In John Steinbeck’s book, East of Eden, there are four elderly Chinese men who study the first sixteen verses of Genesis 4 over a period of two years. Initially, they think that God’s command to Cain was that he shalt or that he must master sin. But they learn from the original Hebrew that it could be better translated as “thou mayest” (implying choice).

Steinbeck goes on to say that it is this choice that makes a man a man (rather than a beast). He is pointing out that God has given man the possibility of triumphing over sin. We are not puppets who are predetermined to do evil.

The founders of America gave us limited government, which requires people to act in self-controlled manners, not giving in constantly to temptation.

After the founding fathers wrote the Constitution in Philadelphia, a woman asked Ben Franklin what kind of government they had given to us. He famously replied, “A republic, madam, if you can keep it.” One of the ways we keep it is through greater self-control.

Dr. Os Guinness was a guest in our Providence Forum series of films on America’s Judeo-Christian heritage. It’s called “The Foundation of American Liberty.”

In the episode on the Declaration of Independence, “Endowed by Their Creator,” Guinness, the eminent Christian writer and thinker, tells our audience: “The key question for the founders [was]: how do you sustain faith? Faith of any sort requires freedom. Now, rather like the recycling triangle, it goes round and round ad infinitum. Freedom requires virtue, virtue requires faith, faith requires freedom, which requires virtue, and so on.”

Guinness added, “Now, the trouble is, the word virtue today has become sort of goody-goody. But for the framers, virtue, obviously, [comes] from the classic understanding, that all ethics has to be rooted in courage…[V]irtue included honesty, loyalty, patriotism, and above all, character, who you are when no one sees.”

The late Dr. Walter Williams told our viewers, “Our Constitution and our government was made for a moral people, people who love liberty. And the reason why is that initially we had very, very few laws, because people’s behavior was governed by customs and tradition and religious values. Today, we’re moving away from that…we’re seeing more and more laws being written to control human behavior, as opposed to personal values.”

Self-rule under God is the essence of the American experiment. To succeed it requires that citizens must, of course, with God’s help, rule ourselves first.

UK Report: Over One Third of Children on Puberty Blockers Experienced Worsened Mental Health thumbnail

UK Report: Over One Third of Children on Puberty Blockers Experienced Worsened Mental Health

/in , , , , , /by

By Family Research Council

New research from the United Kingdom is showing that over a third of children placed on puberty blockers and hormone drugs suffered severe mental health deterioration afterwards.

A 2011 study conducted at the Tavistock Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) clinic for children reported that children who were put on puberty blockers suffered no adverse mental health effects. However, new analysis conducted by Susan McPherson, a professor of psychology and sociology at the University of Essex, and retired social scientist David Freedman found that the majority of children put on puberty blockers and hormone drugs experienced erratic and fluctuating mental health, including over a third whose mental health “reliably deteriorated.”

The original study, conducted on 44 children between the ages of 12 and 15, was reportedly based on group averages, while the new analysis relied on individual results, which McPherson and Freedman explained “allows us to look at how a treatment is performing in terms of the percentage of patients improving, deteriorating, and showing clinically significant change. … It is possible, using this approach, to look at patterns, such as who is benefitting and who is not.”

Last year, Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) opted to close down the Tavistock GIDS clinic after a government report found that the staff rushed and even pressured minors into taking puberty blockers and hormone drugs with almost no psychological or medical oversight. A reported 96% of child patients were placed on puberty blockers by Tavistock staffers, and concerns were raised over a tendentious focus on “gender dysphoria,” instead of considering other psychological factors in recommending drugs or surgeries for minors, which were summarily dismissed. In fact, the situation was so concerning that Dr. Hillary Cass, the pediatrician tasked by the government with investigating the claims against Tavistock, offered her recommendation to shut down the clinic several months early, saying she had enough information already to justify closing Tavistock.

Cass particularly stressed concerns she had over the use of puberty blockers and other hormone drugs, which the Tavistock clinic had been prescribing to children as young as 10 years old, many of whom were already on the autism spectrum or suffering various mental health issues like depression or eating disorders. In her interim report to the NHS, Cass noted, “There is lack of consensus and open discussion about the nature of gender dysphoria and therefore about the appropriate clinical response.” She added, “There has not been routine and consistent data collection, which means it is not possible to accurately track the outcomes and pathways that children and young people take through the service.”

Over the years, numerous whistleblowers — former staff governor Dr. David Bell, consultants and nurses like Marcus and Sue Evans, child safeguarding officer Sonia Appleby, and countless former patients who now, as adults, regret being put on puberty blockers and hormone drugs — have sounded the alarm over the Tavistock clinic’s practices. Most have pointed out that children and their parents were often denied informed consent as staffers rushed children onto puberty blockers after only three or four meetings. Some whistleblowers even explained that topics like “sexual orientation” were effectively off-limits and that a transgender identity and a battery of hormone drugs were the only options explored by clinicians. Others pointed out that the drastic rise in children going through Tavistock (from about 250 “patients” in 2011 to over 5,000 in 2021) and linked it to the growing puberty blocker and hormone drug industry.

The findings of the new analysis of the Tavistock study are in line with research conducted and published by Family Research Council. Dr. Jennifer Bauwens, director of FRC’s Center for Family Studies, explained earlier this year:

“At one time, gender dysphoria was considered a mental disorder, but now, due to the increasing prevalence of a worldview shaped by gender identity ideology, it has morphed into a human rights issue. The ideology borrows from the mental health aspects of gender dysphoria in order to justify medical ‘intervention.’”

She continued, “Advocates of gender-affirming care insist it is both lifesaving and evidence-based health care for those who identify as transgender. But the research used to make such a claim is full of methodological errors and can be easily disputed as a research body that is incomplete.” Notably, the original Tavistock study from 2011 focused on group studies instead of on individual situations and results. Bauwens added, “Not only are the currently published studies problematic, but there is a lack of ongoing and long-term follow-up reports that address the impact of cross-sex hormones and surgeries.”

In June, the NHS banned the use of puberty blockers and hormone drugs on minors, following a growing swath of European medical experts who have backed off gender transition procedures for children. France, Sweden, Finland, and Norway have also put restrictions on the use of puberty blockers and hormone drugs on children. The U.S. still hasn’t.

Slavery has no Color: Karl Marx, Slavery and Stalinist/Socialist Charlatans thumbnail

Slavery has no Color: Karl Marx, Slavery and Stalinist/Socialist Charlatans

/in , , , /by

By Simona Pipko

Senator Tim Kaine gave a speech on the Senate floor on June 16. He said “The United States didn’t inherit slavery from anybody. We created it.” Read the transcript here. Tim Kaine Speech Transcript: Says US Created Slavery, Didn’t Inherit It, June 16, 2020

I watch his speech and when I heard those words, my jaw dropped. I have followed this man for several years and found him radically anti-American. Since American’s haven’t been taught American History for decades, he could say ridiculous bromides like that and get away with it. I didn’t like him then and I don’t like him now! I am a former Soviet attorney and in addition to Soviet Law, I studied history and Marxism for four years at Law School and know that slavery is a global phenomenon of our world—no country escaped slavery. Unfortunately, in America, the issue of slavery provided Socialist Charlatans with a narrative to exploit the division between whites and blacks—ignorance has become a radical force fighting the political system designed and left to us by our Founding Father…

My Response to Senator Tim Kaine

Studying in Leningrad Law School at the time of Iron Curtain, I loved Marxism—it was the only information from the West.  Any literature, books, magazines and newspapers from the West were forbidden under the Soviet Socialist regime. Marxism was a mandatory subject and we studied it for all four years of Law School. I knew Marxism pretty well. Yet, I didn’t like Marx for his militancy, though all his words had become axioms for me. Coming to the West, I found out a different assessment of his personality and his legacy. Of course, as the historical figure Marx was very controversial. Judge for yourself:

Karl Heinrich Marx was a German philosopher, economist, historian, sociologist, political theorist, journalist and socialist revolutionary. Born in Trier, Germany, Marx studied law and philosophy at university. Wikipedia .

Karl Marx (1818–1883) is best known not as a philosopher but as a revolutionary, whose works inspired the foundation of many communist regimes in the twentieth century. It is hard to think of many who have had as much influence in the creation of the modern world. Karl Marx (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)

The Communist Manifesto, originally titled Manifesto of the Communist Party (German: Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei) is a short 1848 book written by the German Marxist political theorists Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. It has since been recognized as one of the world’s most influential political manuscripts. The Communist Manifesto: Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels … www.amazon.com ›

Marx’s theory of history is centered on the idea that forms of society rise and fall as they cause progress and later impede the development of human productive power. Historical materialism, also known as the materialist conception of history, is a methodology used by some communist and Marxist historiographers that focuses on human societies and their development through history, arguing that history is the result of material conditions rather than ideals. Wikipedia, Historical Materialism.

The last quotation from Wikipedia is exactly correct: history is the result of material conditions rather than the theory of such ideas as Socialism and Communism. As a historian and economist Marx had produced a very valuable study of history and the economy of capitalism. My first acquaintance with capitalism came from his Das Capital, we had to read and discuss it at Law School. The book was written in a very dry language was quite difficult to read, but I got an elementary knowledge of capitalism from it: capital, labor and money. The historical part of his theory and four stages of development civilization were also logical, understandable and clear to me then. Today, I see something discussible in his presentation if not wrong and dishonest.

Slavery has no Color

I never read this document in Law School —Modules on Stages of Economic Development. Soviet professors had taught me and Marx’s four stages of economic development were an authority for me. Now living in America, and having the document in front of me gave me the opportunity to discuss it. I agree with the quote from Wikipedia—human productive power is the force that develops civilization rather than fallacy, a fraud with utopian concept of Socialism/Communism. Here is the document:

Introduction to Karl Marx, Modules on Stages of Development. ACCORDING TO MARX, human civilization has manifested itself in a series of organizational structures, each determined by its primary mode of production, particularly the division of labor that dominates in each stage. 1) The tribal form…

The document lists four stages of socio-economic development of civilization: 1) The tribe form, 2) “primitive communism, 3) Feudal or estate property, and 4) Capitalism.

The tribe form… “…During this stage, it is also possible to see a slave culture established, particularly as the population increases, leading to “the growth of wants” and the growth of relations with outside civilizations (through war or barter). With slave culture, we see the beginning of class society.” The given part of the first tribe stage clearly presents the ties of the tribal form to slave culture, indicating the beginning of economic development of civilization. Considering Marx’s design to show the changes in the human productive power of the stages, doing that, in fact, Marx verifies slavery as a beginning of socio-economic development of civilization and in this he was right.

Slavery has no color—there is no country in the world that has escaped slavery as economic development of civilization. Slavery is a global phenomenon. For your information, slavery was abolished in Russia at the same time that it was abolished in America. Republican President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation and payed a dear price for that—he was assassinated. Yet, the Republican Party has been fighting for freedom and liberty of the black community since.                       

Race and Policing in America

Policing in America is a hot topic all over the country. The conversation is even considering completely defunding the police. Yet, nobody talks about the history of black race. This is the reason I deliberately started a conversation about development of our civilization in the preceding paragraphs. In this part of his study, Marx was right—civilization was developed in four stages. It took five hundred years to develop Western civilization in Europe. America is a part of European civilization consisted of a homogeneous population. African-American migrations—both forced and voluntary—forever changed the course of American history. It is not a matter of color it is a matter of civic literacy brought to us by four stages of civilization for centuries. These developments were not experienced by the black community in America and as a result both sides are suffer.

There were both white and black slave owners and the black slaves were brought from the first stage of civilization to the third or fourth stage into American society. As a result, they missed the centuries of civic literacy teaching and economic development. I am surprised by some talented black individuals who did succeed, but the vast majority of blacks had not, they had missed the centuries to learn and experience the socio-economic development of our civilization…

Moreover, the black community had been attacked by Socialist Charlatans since the 1960-1970s. It was another obstacle to prevent them from succeeding—the ideological inculcation “to divide and conquer” by the Russian Security operatives-agitators. Writing about them, I use the term KGB. Don’t be surprised by “Black Lives Matter,” using propaganda, full fledge force and intimidation, the major methods of Socialist Charlatans. Please, read here my two preceding columns with documents to understand the dangerous predicament in America today.

Under these circumstances to hear the Democrat Sen. Kaine’s statement: “The United States didn’t inherit slavery from anybody. We created it” made me sick. It is a sign of deep ignorance if not treachery. To expose some Stalinist Socialist Charlatans in America, I need a separate column, there are hundreds of them confronting our political system to implement what we know as fraudulent Socialism. I’d rather continue Marx’s presentation as I found dishonesty and some wrongs in it. For your information Karl Marx was a correspondent on the New York Tribune. Marx’s principal earnings came from his work as European correspondent, from 1852 to 1862, for the New-York Daily Tribune.

The man who is writing for an American newspaper is supposed to know American history. If you go to his second stage “primitive communism” you wouldn’t find even an elementary knowledge of history. For me “primitive communism” was established by the Plymouth Colony and William Bradford (1590-1657) a founder and longtime governor of the Plymouth Colony. “For many years, the story of the first failed commune of Plymouth Bay was part of the collective memory of American students. But Progressive Education found that story unhelpful and it has fallen into obscurity.” Jerry Bowyer, Forbs, Occupy Plymouth Colony: How A Failed Commune Led To Thanksgiving.

Jerry Bowyer is right, we are dealing with Dems-Progressives—an army of Stalinist Socialist Charlatans who infiltrated our Universities and created one-party campuses. Unfortunately, nobody is doing anything to stop it. They are using Marx’s name with no knowledge of the utopian theory itself. They have been inculcated since the 1960-70s and are not interested in truth, but instead fight for power– they are the leaders of Antifa and Black Lives Matter-terrorist organizations. They can be exposed only with knowledge of the fallacy of fraudulent Marxism, Socialism and Communism. We must do it, otherwise the American Constitutional Republic is doomed…

I have no a direct answer to why Marx did not use the Plymouth Colony. There are two explanations why he didn’t use the failed communism of Plymouth Colony in his Modules. He didn’t know America’s history, or he invented a fraudulent theory for his personal agenda, to become famous and get married to the rich girl he was in love, Jenny von Westphalen. As the theorist of the utopian future Socialism and Communism, Marx has waged a war against mankind, which is going on today in America and across the world…

Maybe Karl Marx was the first Socialist Charlatan?

Zelenskyy, Trudeau Honor Yaroslav Hunk a 3rd Reich Nazi with a Standing Ovation

By Dr. Rich Swier

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelenskyy – honored Yaroslav Hunk a WWII Nazi and veteran of the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division (14th Waffen SS) with a standing ovation on Friday.

According to B’nai Brith Canada, Hunka, “who immigrated to Canada after serving in the 14th Waffen SS – a Nazi unit whose members swore allegiance to Adolf Hitler during WWII – received a standing ovation from members of Parliament and senators in attendance.”

Adolf Hitler “was the leader of Nazi Germany, Canada and the free world’s nemesis, and military opponent during WWII. The Ukrainian ultra-nationalist ideologues who volunteered to create the SS-Galician division in 1943 dreamed of an ethnically homogenous Ukrainian state and endorsed the idea of ethnic cleansing,” the B’nai Brith Canada statement continued.

On Friday, he was honored during a session of Canadian parliament in which Zelenskyy addressed the lawmakers to thank them for their support since Russia invaded Ukraine, saying that Canada has always been on “the bright side of history.”

Hunka stood for standing ovation and saluted, according to Canadian television.

New James Bond Novels Replace 007 With a Disabled Black Gay Superspy and Pakistani Muslim 009 thumbnail

New James Bond Novels Replace 007 With a Disabled Black Gay Superspy and Pakistani Muslim 009

/in , , , /by

By Dr. Rich Swier

“Do you expect me to talk?” No, I expect you to go woke.”

Earlier this year word came that Ian Fleming Publications Ltd, which controls the rights to the deceased author’s novels, hired sensitivity readers to go through his books and purge anything that might offend the souls who write angry letters to the BBC over reruns of Fawlty Towers. (The ‘war’ must forever go unmentioned as ‘The Germans’ episode was pulled by the BBC.)

The newly republished novels warn those with thin skin looking for politically correct adventures that, “this book was written at a time when terms and attitudes which might be considered offensive by modern readers were commonplace.” Various awkward racial references had been scrubbed away leaving a bowdlerized Bond that could be safely read in any safe space.

Now that old Bond is dead, a new woke Bond can safely rise. Even though Ian Fleming has been dead since 1964, the estate turned to other authors to prime the giant money pump. Initially new Bond novels were written by prestigious writers like Kingsley Amis or former military men like John Gardner, but in more recent years turned to anyone willing to write woke for cash.

The latest of these come from Kim Sherwood, a University of Edinburgh lecturer who is interested in “women’s stories” and was authorized to write a feminist James Bond trilogy.

How do you write a feminist trilogy around one of the least feminist fictional characters around?

Easy, get rid of him.

Sherwood’s feminist trilogy of Bond novels has the superspy go missing while she invents new zeroes to take his place. Sherwood’s “feminist perspective” on James Bond gets rid of the white man and offers an “ensemble cast of heroes who we can all identify with.”

Ian Fleming Publications Ltd and Sherwood might want to look back at how that gimmick worked for the Pink Panther movies made after the death of Peter Sellers. But Bond didn’t actually die, he’s just been canceled. When he’s not turning woke, he’s just making way.

“I want to bring a feminist perspective to the canon,” Sherwood pitched, to “create a space for all of us to be heroes.” The technical term for that is a “Mary Sue” character. But do female readers of the Bond novels really want to be superspies, gunning down villains and surviving torture?

Ready or not, Sherwood debuted the new zeroes who prioritize “inclusivity, female heroes, and heroes of colour” including a black gay disabled 004 and a Pakistani Muslim 009.

Sid Bashir, the Muslim replacement for James Bond, remembers standing by his mother’s side at an Islamic cultural fair under a banner reading, “Don’t Panic, I’m Islamic.” Another scene quotes the Koran and has Bashir saying, “May Allah bless your family.”

“I was born poor, black and gay, I know about hard times,” 004 who, it is important to note, is black and gay says. This isn’t just bad writing, it reads like a right-wing parody of wokeness.

In the new feminist novels, Miss Moneypenny has been promoted, Q has been replaced by a computer, and Bond by a woman, a black man and a Muslim man.

One scene takes place in a police station overrun by a leftist mob where “feminists, anarchists”, socialists and advocates for climate justice” have turned it into an “anti-capitalist party center.”

This is the woke utopia. Inclusivity means erasing everyone who doesn’t fit into this leftist vision of the ideal society.

“Bond has always been a fantasy, but it’s a fantasy that can reflect us and shape us and I’m so excited to get to be part of that for a contemporary world,” Kim Sherwood argued.

The thing about fantasies is that they have to be grounded in something. The old Bond was a series of fantasies grounded in the Cold War and some espionage experience by Fleming, but wokeness is already a fantasy and Bond authors no longer know anything except politics.

Politics in Bond novels used to be subtext, but now it’s text.

Earlier this year, Ian Fleming Publications Ltd rushed to publication a new novel, On His Majesty’s Secret Service, to mark Charles III’s coronation. Every monarch gets the 007 writer that he or she deserves. Queen Liz got Fleming while King Charlie has to make do with Charlie Higson, a comedian, who famously accused Winston Churchill of being secretly gay.

The Bond novel celebrated Charlie’s coronation, dubbed “King Charles the Woke”, by going up against COVID conspiracists, immigration opponents, and critics of Black Lives Matter and the transgender movement who asked things like “What are we going to do about the Muslims?”

Conservatives are a pretty reliable demographic for James Bond novels, but much like the film industry, publishing is making it clear that it not only doesn’t want them as writers, but even as readers. That is even more true of the Big 5 publishing industry in the United States.

If Ian Fleming, the actual Bond author, were alive today, he would be one of the villains. Fleming was anti-union, opposed to the welfare state and a conservative. But the old Bond novels upheld the primacy of Britain while in the new woke novels, the touchstones are no longer patriotism and country, but diversity.

“Bond was struck by something. It was a long while since he’d been at any kind of function that was almost exclusively full of men. It felt strange. There was not even a pretence at diversity here. Athelstan hadn’t been the least bit concerned about ensuring that half of the people he’d hired to carry out his coup should be women, or non-white, or disabled,” the novel has him say.

Fortunately, the new Bond novels more than make up for it with women, non-white and disabled superspies who battle the forces of ignorance and skepticism about mutilating children.

Heroically they penetrate super-secret fortresses and uncover plots to say politically incorrect things on social media after Islamic terrorist attacks. And they always take time out to remind you of their suffering as black, gay, disabled Pakistani Muslims who are the real victims.

Who needs Bond, James Bond, when we’ve got Victim, Woke Victim?

Medical Examiner’s Office Source: ‘Only 1 to 2%’ of ‘COVID Deaths’ Were Really COVID

/in , , , /by

By Selwyn Duke

“Only one to two percent” of deaths officially labeled as caused by COVID actually were induced by the disease. The rest were labeled as COVID but actually had other causes.

So said an individual I spoke to recently, who I’ll keep anonymous, about the deceased people processed by this individual’s medical examiner’s office. I won’t reveal much about this person, who I’ll call “ME,” except to say that ME is highly trained and qualified and works at a major medical examiner’s office in New York State.

ME’s information is not revelatory. We’ve heard from many sources that COVID numbers have been inflated. Personally speaking, I also talked a couple of years ago to an employee at a NY hospital who told me, casually and as a matter of course, “They’re lumping all the flu cases in with COVID.” But it’s especially noteworthy and newsworthy when the information comes from someone such as ME, who’s highly trained, in a position to know and who reveals such striking numbers.

I pressed ME on his (I’ll use the masculine pronoun generically here; this doesn’t imply that ME is male or not so) claim. “You’re not exaggerating?” I asked. ME confidently reiterated his assertion: Many deaths his office evaluated were attributed to COVID — but “only one to two percent” actually were.

What were the real causes? ME mentioned ischemia, myocardial infarction (heart attack) and complications from diabetes as major culprits. He also said that there were a large number of suicides — presumably another negative secondary effect of the lockdowns and other irrational COVID policies — though these were not labeled as COVID deaths at his office.

ME did state, however, that sometimes a person will have died from something wholly unrelated to COVID — he mentioned a motorcycle accident case as an example — and his office will list the decedent as having been “COVID positive” (not a COVID death, though), even though he wasn’t, because this would enable the deceased’s family to receive financial aid for the funeral.

Related to this, ME mentioned how not only were hospitals getting more money from the government if a patient was labeled COVID positive, but that he believed funeral homes were also receiving funds for processing COVID-positive decedents, though he was unsure on this point.

Obviously, however, the monetary carrot will always corrupt a system: As is said, what you fund, you get more of.

ME doesn’t approve of the dishonesty at his office, of the gross manipulation of COVID numbers. But ME also mentioned that his role isn’t to sign the death certificates; it’s to provide the office itself with accurate information derived from his evaluation of decedents. As for the people who run things at this medical examiner’s office, ME wasn’t very impressed, describing them as fools (though ME used a different but synonymous term).

Lastly, ME mentioned something I’ve long pointed out: While with the flu, for example, the mortality counter is reset every year, this isn’t done with COVID. Rather, authorities keep a running count, continually adding on to the previous years’ numbers, so that the disease’s mortality appears especially frightening.

So what are America’s actual COVID numbers? Can ME’s one-to-two-percent estimate be extrapolated to our whole country? We don’t know. What’s for certain is that COVID has been grossly mismanaged and mischaracterized by people who would sententiously scold “Follow the science!” but were themselves following money and politics. In the process, this medical/scientific establishment has perhaps permanently discredited itself — and never was reputational destruction more richly deserved.

What’s Killing America? thumbnail

What’s Killing America?

/in , , , , /by

By Simona Pipko

SOS! The American Southern border is dangerously and completely open, with thousands of illegal migrants from 160 countries invading our country.

Our National Security is at stake and our existence as a democracy is threatened. It started January 2021 by Biden’s team of the Democrat Party. We have already 6-7 million migrants on our soil, let alone fentanyl and raising crime. If the invasion is not stopped, we will have 20-30 million illegals in our country by the 2024 election and thousands of bad actor’s terrorists and spies. Some Republicans still don’t understand that the crisis on the border is crafted by design of the Biden/Putin collusion and failed Mexican State. There are no Mexican Cartels, those are the Russian Cartels of different criminal groups like MS-13 created by Stalin in 1950-1960s.

If you are old enough to remember Soviet Apparatchiks praising Soviet Socialism and lying without blinking, you will find the same in America today. Just find the Pentagon’s briefing on September 13, 2023 and watch John Kirby. He was asked Why Biden is lying so much? It was a very simple but direct question on the point. Mr. Kirby was confused a bit, but got over it and began defending Biden by lying even more. All members of Biden’s team are constantly lying about everything, crime as a product of poverty, inflation as not a threat and many other different issues. The Dems have no ideas to argue and the lies and fraud helps them to run the regime. It is not a coincidence that I accused Biden’s White House of implementing Soviet Socialism. Yes, they lie and they do that…

For many years, I have been writing and warning you about Soviet Socialism and its Socialist modus operandi: lies, deceit, fabrication, and fraud. I was living under Stalinist Soviet Socialism for fifty years; I know all its features-characteristics and I see all of them in America today. I am especially upset by political dissidents imprisoned in America like under Stalin’s Police State in Russia. Welcome to Soviet Socialism in America! It is like in the Soviet Union—Inside a Gigantic Network of Falsehood. I want you to hear, believe me, and know the truth. Maybe the words of Thomas Sowell convince you by his logic:

If crime is a product of poverty and discrimination as they say endlessly, why was there so much less of it when poverty and discrimination were much worse than today? If massive programs are the only hope to reduce violence in the ghetto, why was there so much less violence long before anyone ever thought of these programs?

Thomas Sowell is right: “At least as far back as the 18th century, the left has struggled to avoid facing the plain fact of evil — that some people simply choose to do things that they know to be wrong when they do them. Every kind of excuse, from poverty to an unhappy childhood, is used by the left to explain and excuse evil. Why has evil been such a hard concept for many on the left to accept? The basic agenda of the left is to change external conditions. But what if the problem is internal? What if the real problem is the cussedness of human beings?” I will continue his thoughts about evil, because I have been writing about evil for forty-two years.

Marxist Theory was quite a popular political philosophy in the 19th century, however, none of the industrial European countries has launched the Socialist Revolution. The irony of the time had been the Socialist Revolution of 1917 in Russia, an agricultural Euro-Asian country. I am raising the issue for a reason. Marxist Theory is a dead evil and talking about Marxism, you at least, should know it. Yet, I have been writing about very alive and critically deadly evil—Stalinism, the Soviet people called the system of Soviet Socialism, I called it Soviet Fascism. I’ve educated the American public about Stalinism for decades. Here is only one column among hundreds.

American Marxism vs. American Stalinism

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.” — Joseph Goebbels

I have been writing about Russian and Chinese espionage for the last forty years to educate the American people with my deep concern over American national security in the 20th century. Yes, our national security is at stake, because Russia, China, and the “Axis of Evil” under Russia’s umbrella continue attacking us in the 21st century. Turmoil in Russia puts the World at an additional high risk. The revolt of Wagner was an effective force with active Military and Intel Apparatus–the revolt was a part of the coup with 25.000 000 mercenaries. Putin maneuvered very fast and successfully; Wagner’s boss was exiled to Belarus. I don’t know why Evgeniy Prigozhin has surrendered. It can be a game of Russian disinformation as well…

The crack in Russia is not occidental, on the contrary, it is normal and regular. The country under several different names has been living in Soviet Socialism, which are lies, deceit, fabrication, and fraud. Soviet Socialism has very little to go with Marxism—Marxism is Theory. I have been studying Marxism at Law School for four years. Soviet Socialism has been invented by Comrade Stalin in contrast to Marxist Theory and its ideas. Here is the prove:

Creating the Theory of Socialism and Communism as a means of rooting out the exploitation of man by man, Marx and Engels purposely divided it into two phases: the first phase was Socialism and the second –- Communism. They identified in detail the tasks, agendas, and ways to achieve them in the “Theory”, as follows:

  • First – the tasks and agenda—overthrowing the capitalist economic system and establishing Socialism as a basis for the creation of a classless Communist society in the future.
  • Second – how to fulfill the tasks and agenda—through World Revolution.
  • Third – the World Revolution would occur under the leadership of the proletariat.  “Proletariats of the world unite!” was their slogan.
  • Fourth – Marxist Theory can be applied only in industrially developed European

Pay attention to the fourth point:” Marxist Theory can be applied only in industrially developed European countries.” Russia was an agricultural country and has never been an industrially developed European country. The creation by Stalin of his system of Soviet Socialism was in direct opposition to Marxism. It was a typical Stalinist fraud as Socialism couldn’t exist without the government force. To create Soviet Socialism, Stalin used Marxist rhetoric to establish his own system that was completely intertwined with punitive agencies. The creation of the Soviet Mafia, Socialist modus operandi, and the KGB’s Mafia/Army had been a necessity for Stalin to help deceive and defraud the Soviet people.  A devoted disciple of Stalin/Andropov, Vladimir Putin is still keeping the Soviet system of punitive agencies in Russia after the Soviet Socialism had collapsed. The Democrat Party: A Party of Disinformation and Fraud May 21, 2023.

I’ve presented this column for a reason. A very respectful Republican, Mark R, Levin has written the book American Marxism, Threshold Editions, a division of Simon & Schuster, 2021. I haven’t read the book; the title stopped me. I categorically disagree with it and expressed my disagreement in several columns during forty-two years. American Marxism has confused 300 million Americans and diverted attention from the actual culprit–Stalinism. Marxism or Stalinism is a monumental question of the time, which required knowledge of both. The dilemma of a few Republicans is the exact absences of that knowledge. I see in America what I lived through in Russia: Language control to cover up the truth. I wrote many columns on Stalin’s Political Correctness. Read them and learn that Stalin is the author of Political Correctness known to you PC today. There are more: racism and Anti-Semitism, legalization of violence, destruction of traditions and customs, creation of centralized state in America by the Democrat Party.

I have been writing about the Democrat Party for forty-two years. I saw how the KGB’s Mafia/Army killed Truman’s Party and created America’s Socialist Party, which was following the Socialist modus operandi and aggressively confronted a political system of American Constitutional republic, designed and left to us by our Founding Fathers.  Canada Free Press echoing me:

“’ll start with several ifs. If the Democrat National Committee (DNC) employs the same tactics in 2024 as it did in the 2020 election, if the corrupt Deep State and the intelligence community cooperate with the DNC, if Election Day remains election ‘season’, then I see no win in 2024 for any Republican. No matter who runs on the Democrat ticket in 2024, the Democrats will win. What the people want is of no concern. They cannot allow Trump or any conservative to occupy the White House. “By Ray DiLorenzo, 14 Months to Live, Canada Free Press, 9/17/2023.

The author is very eloquently introduced the Democrat Party. “Democrats no longer have the inner moral virtue necessary to do anything else. It’s a ‘they can, so they will’ situation. Once you know how to cheat and get away with it, it becomes nearly impossible to do anything else.

All communist or fascist countries operate in the same fashion. They resemble James Bond movies. Think Specter. A crime organization takes over a country and runs it as such—organized crime. They control the military, the wheels of government, business, and the people through taxes, control of healthcare, and the gun. Confederates in strategic locations are paid handsomely for their cooperation and are placed in a situation from which they are unable to escape lest they be hung with the rest as accessories to a crime—in many cases, treason.”

That is a logic and sense I’ve written The Democrat Party is No.1 Enemy of the American Republic June 18, 2020. Mark Levin also wrote another book: The Democrat Party Hates America in 2023, where he presented a detailed history of the Democrat Party—not an attractive picture. But the Dems are not alone—they are supervised by Stalinist KGB’s Mafia/Army. Has Mark learned more since his American Marxism? Not a lot. Has he researched Stalinism? Has he offered a solution? No. Even a recent friendship of Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un didn’t awaken the Republicans’ wisdom. They don’t know that Stalin had established North Korea to start a never-ending war against Western civilization, we are participating today. Do you remember Vietnam, Cambodia and many other wars? Without the knowledge of Stalinist KGB’s Mafia/Army—the Evil Doer, there is no solution for America and the world.

I have been writing about Russia as a terrorist country for decades. Just go to current Russia and learn the recent Putin’s public call for a “self-cleansing,” which is simply dividing the population into “patriots” versus “national traitors” or a “fifth column.” Is this familiar to you? American Attorney General Garland called for a similar policy in America. Do you remember it? Have you seen him grilled for two tiers of Justice in America by the Republicans on the House Hearing of Judiciary Committee? But both examples identified the same policy of totalitarianism—Stalinism, the Republicans still don’t know and can lose the 2024 election, because of that. Due to Biden’s policy and his Socialist dirty tricks our debt is $33 Trillion!!! But only one Representative mentioned the name of the KGB that destroys America from within this minute … If you want to see and hear it, find the speech of the indignant Victoria Spartz. I sent her my column a week ago and I believe that my information about the KGB’s Mafia/Army gave her the energy for such an incredible indignation, she has expressed. She learned who’s killing America…

9/11 Was Not An Inside Job thumbnail

9/11 Was Not An Inside Job

/in , , , /by

By Matthys van Raalten

There is a very disturbing trend in The Netherlands, of more and more people believing that the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 were not carried out by Al Qaida, but were an inside job. This conspiracy theory is even spoken out loud in Dutch parliament by an opposition party.

First of all, I consider denying the truth about these horrible attacks an insult to the American people. Of course Americans are a kind, friendly people and it is unthinkable that hundreds of thousands of them -in government and in the media- would be involved in a conspiracy to commit mass murder on their fellow countrymen.

Secondly, denying the truth about 9/11 is an insult to reason. Hundreds of thousands of U.S. citizens would have been involved, bribed, and nobody talks? Can so many people keep such a big secret?

People that think it was an inside job, have difficulty to accept that Islam is not a Religion of Peace. Islam is a religion of Jihad, war. 9/11 was an Islam job. Of course this is very unpleasant to realize, as more and more Muslims migrate to the U.S.

I always ask people that come to me denying the truth about 9/11 to tell me who they think was behind it. I ask them if they think that the CIA and the Jews did it. I want to know if I’m dealing with people that reason out of a hatred for America and/or out of anti-Semitism. In that case I’m done with them.

Denying 9/11 was carried out by Muslims in the name of Allah is comparable to denying that President Kennedy was assassinated by a communist, to denying that men landed on the moon, to denying that men had built the pyramids and claiming Aliens instead had built them. And of course there is also plenty of material on the Internet denying that 6 million Jews were killed during the Holocaust by the Nazis.

Wise people know the Truth in their heart.

Communist Goals and America thumbnail

Communist Goals and America

/in , , , /by

By Jerry Newcombe

Communists are burning flags in Chicago. If you will, they were “trying that in a large town” in their protests at a Jason Aldean concert in the Windy City. Aldean is best known for his hit, “Try That in a Small Town.”

FoxNews.com reports, “The protesters were raising awareness of RevCom (Revolutionary Communist Party), which believes in creating a Marxist revolution in America, calling the USA ‘the belly of the beast.’”

The idea of a communist revolution in America, “the belly of the beast,” might well seem far-fetched. But consider the incredible “progress” that the Marxists have made in this country in the last several decades.

Dr. Carol M. Swain used to teach at Princeton and also at Vanderbilt Law School. In an interview with D. James Kennedy Ministries, she mentioned some of the communist objectives for the United States.

Dr. Swain told our viewers: “I’m sure you’re familiar with the book that Cleon Skousen wrote in 1958 called The Naked Communist. That book had near its appendix 45 current communist goals. Those goals were read into the Congressional record in 1963. If you read through those goals, many of them have been accomplished, and one was to take over a political party. To discredit the FBI, to use race as a wedge issue, to take over the public schools, and you go down the list and they’ve accomplished almost every goal that they’ve set out to accomplish.”

Swain added, “And I think we see the implementation of those communist goals and yes, it’s cultural Marxism and it’s all about destroying our society.”

Anyone who doubts her should actually read the goals. Here are just a few.

Goal 27: “Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with ‘social’ religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a ‘religious crutch.’”

Many of the churches in America have gone woke, which effectively means they have replaced the Gospel, where Jesus saves individuals and then they impact society, with a message of social salvation that teaches it is systemic societal ills that need redemption.

Goal 28: “Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of ‘separation of church and state.’”

The First Amendment declares “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” But beginning in 1947 and then especially in the 1960s and 1970s, the Supreme Court changed the understanding of “no establishment” (meaning no established church at the federal level) to meaning essentially a separation of God and government—something the founding fathers would not have agreed with.

Now, the public schools have become, for the most part, secular wastelands because of the effective banishment of God and school prayer. Our history books have been rewritten, and God has been erased. School prayer is out. The metal detectors are in.

Goal 29: “Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a world-wide basis.”

The Constitution is even being called “trash” by some modern thinkers. But would-be immigrants who risk their lives to come into the United States illegally argue with their feet that it is anything but trash.

Goal 30: “Discredit the American founding fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the ‘common man.””

Who would have thought that a nation that celebrated the bicentennial in 1976 so profusely would have developed so much contempt for the founding fathers in just a few decades since?

In a few years, we’ll come to the 250th anniversary of America. Will that be an occasion of celebration or an occasion of gnashing of teeth and more statue-toppling?

The sacrifices of the founding fathers are well documented. They said in the Declaration of Independence that they were trusting in God as they made a full-scale commitment to this cause: “And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.”

Some of them died in support of our liberty. Many of them had their property destroyed. They became specific targets of the British torch during the war.

What was the point of their cause? Self-rule under God. Those two phrases summarize the American experiment.

But communism cannot countenance the idea of God. Nor can communism allow for self-rule.

It’s scary to see how successful the communists have been so far in achieving their goals. But as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said in a different context: America is in decline, but it is not inevitable.

Our prayer is that God would revive the work of His hands in this great nation.

Democrats shit on everything good.

Nothing is sacred.

Democrats shit on everything good.

Crying Chuck Schumer — who rarely misses a Sunday morning in front of television cameras, very quietly dropped the suit-and-tie requirement on the Senate floor.

MAUREEN CALLAHAN: Hooded slobs can now vote on the Senate floor – as decrepit pols still cling to power. But it’s not ableist or ageist to demand our leaders be fit to serve… Have they NO decency?

By Maureen Callahan · For DailyMail.Com

Talk about dressing down.

The United States Senate has lowered itself to the whims of one member, a so-called ‘distinguished senator’ from Pennsylvania who refuses to appear on the Hill or with the president of the United States in anything else but a grubby hoodie, billowing shorts, and drab sneakers.

No one signals the death of American decorum like Democratic Senator John Fetterman. Except, perhaps, for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer — who rarely misses a Sunday morning in front of television cameras, but who, over the weekend, very quietly dropped the suit-and-tie requirement on the Senate floor.

The hypocrisy is staggering: Fetterman insists he can do this very big job despite suffering a stroke that has left him with difficulty speaking and processing voices, that resulted in a six-week stay at Walter Reed for depression — yet he can’t expend the effort to look like a presentable member of Congress.

Actually, the question here is: Fetterman can’t, or won’t?

If we are to accept that everything is fine with Fetterman, then reasonable people can conclude that he simply doesn’t care.

We can assume that he is lazy, a slob, and is happy to present himself as someone who is not bringing 100 percent to the job. That he is a narcissist who thinks that a centuries-old dress code for members of Congress should not apply to him, that D.C. should lower its standards to meet his slovenliness, and laughably, as a source close to Fetterman once claimed, that ‘his relaxed, comfortable style is a sign that the senator is making a robust recovery.’

Sure. Nothing says you’ve beaten back depression by dressing as though you haven’t gotten off the couch for a week. Nothing says self-respect like showing up to the Hill in clothes you’d wear to scrub the tub. Most of us dress better for a coffee run.

Keep reading.

Decoding Destiny: Who Controls Your Future? thumbnail

Decoding Destiny: Who Controls Your Future?

/in , , , /by

By Karen Schoen

What is Destiny? According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary: the events that will necessarily happen to a particular person or thing in the future. Throughout your life, you always have choices to reach your goal, your success. The problem with success. Success can be good or bad. Whether the outcome is good or bad depends on? Who? That is the ultimate question. Who will control your life?

WATCH: Unsustainable – The UN’s Agenda For World Domination

The global cabals of elitists met and decided that they had a plan where the elite would control the world in the image they decide. World Economic Forum chair Klaus Schwab declared on Chinese state TV: ‘China is a model for many nations.’ Is that what you want?

Schwab said he respected China’s “tremendous” achievements at modernizing its economy over the last 40 years. (stealing American technology and manipulating their money. FYI, The Clinton cartel negotiated  with China to get our patents and technology and Bill got a donation to the Clinton Foundation.)

China is playing the Hunger Games. They have enslaved their population. Their people live in high rises in “sustainable developments aka 15 Minute Cities” The factories are at the bottom of these buildings. No car, you walk to your job. You make enough money to buy a few things and some groceries, but there are no stocked freezers. Your money is given to you by points on your Social Credit score card. If you follow the party line, your card account is green – no dollar amounts. If there is a problem, your card chip will become yellow and you are on notice with “limited mobility.” Red is “quarantine.”  During Covid a red alert was issued people were locked in their apartments. No food. No heat. No way out. A fire started. The people inside died. All men, women, and children died. The government watched. They didn’t care. Always remember their goal: DEPOPULATION by any means possible. Schwab said 10% of the population is enough.

According to Bill Gates, “The world today has 6.8 billion people. That’s heading up to about nine billion. Now, if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower [world population] by, perhaps, 10 or 15 percent.” 10% X 6.8 Billion = 680,000,000 people. How many people died from Covid? Will you be fooled into taking the Covid shot? How many more will die? millions of illegals are coming to America without shots. Are  they here to replace us?

In 2014, the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) announced a moral ranking system whereby individuals, government organizations, and companies are ranked based on social credit. Comparisons have been drawn to environmental, social, and governance, or ESG, scores being used by major financial institutions and global organizations to create a type of social credit system for corporations designed to influence behavior and transform society.

Schwab wrote in 2019 that ESG scores are necessary for stakeholder capitalism. I thought we had stockholder capitalism. The stockholders, those people who invested money in your company. They owned and had a say in the company and were paid dividends. They are the risk-takers.

What is “‘Stakeholder capitalism?’ a model Schwab first proposed a half-century ago, positions private corporations follow ESG as trustees of society, and is clearly the best response to today’s social and environmental challenges,” he wrote. “We should seize this moment to ensure that stakeholder capitalism remains the new dominant model.”

I then have questions about Elon. The money to buy Twitter came from China. Elon just introduced a chip for your brain to interface with the computer making humans into cyborgs. where “Resistance is futile.”

Who will control your thoughts, suggestions, and demands? What pain will be introduced if you go off script? This chip will be interfaced with everyone and everything, from your most prized possessions to your toilet paper. Everyone will think the same, dress the same, live in the same size apartment, have the same furniture, and obey without question. This is the essence of Communism/Globalism. It is the playbook for a communist takeover. You will obey. Resistance is futile.

So exactly why did Elon buy Twitter? Could it be to gather data, making controlling the people easier? Elon expects to have the chip ready for humans in 6 months. This fits with O’Biden’s:

  • Executive Order on Advancing Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Innovation for a Sustainable, Safe, and Secure American Bioeconomy September 12, 2022, and
  • 13, 2022, Now Called “‘C-DAY’ ‘BIDEN BUCKS/ Central Bank Digital Currency: (CBDC) Executive Order14067.”The article claims the order eliminates cash in favor of digital currency. Who makes money from processing digital currency? Did I hear Hunter?

Communism is the same no matter where you go. Communism has killed more people than any other ideology. Communists use different names for the same goal: Depopulation. Money, Power, Control. Communists are in both parties.

We must fight back. We must conduct oversight. Boycott. There are more of us than them. I believe America is worth saving. Do you?  Will you call your legislator and tell them, ” No Border = No Funding = No CR.  This regime is trying to destroy us, why would we fund them? Shut down the government.

Imagine Giving Your Kid A Tech Device

/in , , /by

By National Center on Sexual Exploitation

Amanda* sat, hunched over her laptop, her eyes red and bleary with exhaustion. She had spent the better part of her week reading tech companies’ parents’ guides and clumsily navigating through obscure safety settings on almost a dozen social media apps. The experience had made her want to chuck her laptop at the wall.

But it was worth it. It was worth it if it meant her kids would be safe online.

… Unfortunately, that was a big “if.”

Little did Amanda know that the safety settings were grossly ineffective and full of loopholes.

Little did she know that new social media apps she’d never heard of had come on the scene, and her children had downloaded those too.

Little did she know that, despite all her efforts, online dangers would find her children anyway … And Amanda would be blamed for it.

If you resonated with the above story, you are not alone.

In today’s digital age, so many parents are utterly overwhelmed by the impossible task of protecting their children online.

We know how you feel, and we want to tell you that it is not your fault.  

Further, we want to encourage you and give you hope. Because we have solutions.  

Imagine if, every time your child downloaded a new social media app or got a new tech device, you could rest easy, knowing that that app/device was already safe.

With your help, this is the world NCOSE is working to create!

Together, we are moving the tech industry to prioritize child safety and build their products to be safe by design and by default.

Here are just a few examples of major victories we’ve achieved together in the past few months alone:

Google is now automatically blurring sexually explicit images for all users and blocking sexually explicit search results for minors signed into an under 18 account—both changes we requested. Google stated, “We appreciate the feedback from survivors and subject matter experts like the National Center on Sexual Exploitation that help improve practices around online safety.”

Snapchat made numerous safety changes we requested and publicly credited NCOSE. These changes include improving detection and moderation for sexually explicit and exploitative content, defaulting content controls for new minor-aged accounts joining Family Center, increasing parent’s visibility into their child’s activity through Family Center, and creating dedicated resources on sexual abuse and exploitation (some changes pending a 2024 release date).

Apple is now automatically blurring sexually explicit images and videos for accounts age 12 and under, something we’ve been asking them to do since 2021. Furtand has made their blurring technology available for FREE to other apps accessed through iOS.

Discord, a messaging platform popular with teens, made multiple safety changes we requested, including activating higher safety settings by default, updating their content policies to more specifically ban various types of child sexualization and exploitation, and offering parental controls for the first time.

And so much more!

Will you partner with us to keep building a world where all children are safe online?

We’re so grateful for the part you’ve already played in helping us achieve this progress. Now, we’d like to invite you to take an even more active role by giving monthly to provide sustainable fuel for these efforts.

One of the Worst Diseases You Can Get—And The Powerful, Guaranteed Cure! thumbnail

One of the Worst Diseases You Can Get—And The Powerful, Guaranteed Cure!

/in , /by

By John Droz, Jr.

As the saying goes: “I’m not a doctor and I don’t even play one on TV.”

That said, I am a scientist, and medicine is a field of science. Further, I’ve always had a strong interest in many health-related subjects (e.g., COVID — see here).

I’ve seen and worked with people who have had a wide range of physical ailments. I’ve also seen many of these pass away. For example, when we first bought a home in coastal North Carolina, I had a varied collection of interesting men that I played golf with. Now, about three-quarters of them are deceased. Wow, that’s a lot!

What I believe is the worst disease you can get is probably not what you are expecting. As a senior, my conclusion is that the disease of negativity is extremely problematic.

Why do I say that? Well, here are some reasons:

  1. A negative person is an unhappy person. It’s about as bad as it can get to live an unhappy life — especially through your own doing!
  2. Their friends will be severely limited, as no one likes to be around a negative, unhappy, complaining person. Having few real friends is a major liability.
  3. Negative people have a poor self-image, which results in self-fulfilling failures. Expecting failure means that in many cases they don’t even try.
  4. Negative people are rarely productive people. One reason is that they tend to give up easily when the going gets tough.
  5. We all have internal talk. Negative people have self-defeating self-talk which reduces confidence, diminishes performance, and sabotages their success.
  6. Negative people draw poor conclusions from prior experiences (generalization). This often results in failure, again becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy.
  7. A negative individual doesn’t even enjoy their successes. They write them off as an aberration, or luck — not something they worked for and deserve.
  8. Negativity will make you physically sick in multiple ways. Carefully absorb this: “Negative thoughts and emotions have widespread effects on bodily processes, like Metabolism, Hormone release, and Immune function.”

This interesting article spells out 23 Signs of a Negative Person. A few of these are a bit sketchy, but most of them are good.

So what is the cure?

The simple, one-word answer is perspective.

The phenomenal power of perspective is hard to overstate. Watch this short video for an example. Would you trade your life and its many challenges for this person’s?

Perspective is an extraordinarily important life skill that is useful to EVERYONE, so it needs to be learned and nurtured. How do we accomplish that?

Some good commentaries about doing that are: The Power of Perspective, The Power Of Perspective (And How It Affects Your Life And Business), Developing the Power of Perspective, and The Power of Perspective – 9 Steps to Harness it.

Open Letter RE: AG Ken Paxton to the Honorable Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick and Senator Angela Paxton of Texas

/in , , , /by

By Amil Imani

The Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick

P.O. Box 685085

Austin, Texas 78768

Phone: (512) 270-1852k

Honorable Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick,

On behalf of over 4 million Texans who voted for General Paxton, I thank you for your leadership during the AG Ken Paxton sham impeachment trial. We, the residents of Texas who value fairness, due process, and the principles of justice, were shocked to witness the sudden coup by both parties colluding to remove our popular attorney general from office. By doing so, they betrayed their constituents. They betrayed Texas.

The House’s rush to impeach Attorney General Paxton with 20 impeachment articles without evidence was a disheartening example of how political expediency can overshadow the pursuit of justice and due process. It raised serious concerns about the erosion of the principles that our democracy is built upon.

You, honorable Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, served as president of the Senate. You were fair, just, and unwavering in your commitment to upholding the principles of our democracy during this tumultuous time. Your leadership in maintaining due process and ensuring that the impeachment trial followed the appropriate procedures is commendable.

In a time when political agendas often overshadow the pursuit of justice, your dedication to upholding the values that this great state of Texas was built upon shines brightly. The rush to impeach Attorney General Paxton with 20 impeachment articles without any substantial evidence was a concerning display of falsity that threatened the very foundations of our democracy resting upon the will and aspirations of the people. Through individuals like you, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, we find hope and reassurance that truth and fairness will always prevail.

As Texans who value integrity, duty to rightful legislation, and a fair judicial process, we are grateful for your unwavering commitment to these principles. Your leadership in the Senate during this challenging period has not gone unnoticed by Texans, and we believe it exemplifies the spirit of honesty and justice that our state and nation deserve.

The political landscape, as exemplified by the last few months’ events, with elected representatives going against the people’s will, no doubt made a daunting task of moral decisions. Nevertheless, we would like to let you know that your efforts in this matter have protected the rights of Attorney General Paxton and upheld the trust that the people of Texas have placed in our government.

Once again, we express our gratitude for your leadership, and we hope that Texas continues to be a beacon of justice and fairness under your guidance. As we move forward, remember the importance of truth and integrity in our democratic processes. Your dedication to these ideals is revolutionary in these times of universal deceit.

May God bless you and your family, the State of Texas, and the United States of America.

In God We Trust

Sincerely yours,

Signed

Amil Imani
Professor of Homeland Security

Texas Senator Angela Paxton
P.O. Box 12068
Capitol Station
Austin, TX 78711

Dear Senator Angela Paxton,

I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I wanted to take a moment to express my admiration and appreciation for your unwavering support for your husband, Attorney General Ken Paxton, during the recent impeachment trial.

Your presence and steadfast support for your husband were commendable throughout the trial. It was evident to all who watched that you stood by him with strength, resilience, and unwavering dedication. Your commitment to your family and constituents is genuinely inspiring and a testament to your character as a public servant.

It takes work to balance the demands of public office with the challenges of personal life, especially during such trying times. Your ability to navigate this delicate balance is a tribute to your dedication to serving the people of Texas. Your constituents, as well as those who have been following the trial, recognize the sacrifices you have made and the strength you have demonstrated.

As your constituents, we are grateful to have a senator who remains committed to her duties and responsibilities despite the challenges that may arise. Your service to our great state has not gone unnoticed, and we hope you will continue to represent us with the same dedication and commitment you have displayed throughout your career.

Today’s acquittal of Attorney General Ken Paxton is undoubtedly a moment of relief for your family, as much as for us Texans, and we share in your joy. I wish you and your husband all the best as you progress from this challenging chapter. May it be a time of healing, renewed strength, and continued dedication to the principles and values you both hold dear.

Once again, thank you, Senator Paxton, for your service to the people of Texas and the strength and resilience you displayed during these trying times. We look forward to witnessing your continued contributions to our great state.

Sincerely,

Amil Imani

Trump Exposed the Rot and Fraud of the Elites thumbnail

Trump Exposed the Rot and Fraud of the Elites

/in , , , /by

By Amil Imani

President Donald J. Trump’s political tenure was marked by fervent support and vehement opposition. However, beneath the surface of political disagreements, it becomes evident that he exposed adversaries lurking within the government and media who now actively conspire to sideline him. These adversaries, threatened by Trump’s policies and America-first commitment, are tirelessly working to diminish his influence and thwart his legacy.

During and after the Trump administration, some individuals and groups could be labeled as “enemies within” of the President. They represented political opponents and potential threats to President Trump’s vision for America. Their actions included vocal criticism of the President’s decisions, alleged leaks of sensitive information to the media, and behind-the-scenes maneuvers aimed at obstructing or undermining his policy agenda.

President Trump pointed fingers at those he perceived as threats to his administration. Among these adversaries were the “deep state,” influential figures in the media, and Democrats in Congress. They formed part of a vast network determined to dismantle his America-first agenda.

The “deep state,” often synonymous with entrenched bureaucrats and officials, became a recurrent target of President Trump’s relentless pursuit of transparency and accountability. This shadowy network sought to undermine his authority, thwart his policy initiatives, and hinder his promise to prioritize American interests over global agreements and conventions.

His America-first approach, characterized by stricter immigration policies and tax reforms, faced unwavering opposition from lawmakers across the aisle. This resistance only reinforced the belief that enemies conspired to eliminate Trump’s influence on national policy.

During his presidency, Trump oversaw a remarkable economic boom, groundbreaking criminal justice reform, and staunch efforts to safeguard Second Amendment rights. His administration’s economic policies led to record-low unemployment rates and substantial stock market gains. Criminal justice reform, an issue that long languished on the sidelines, saw unprecedented progress under Trump, earning him bipartisan acclaim. His pledge to protect Second Amendment rights resonated deeply with millions of Americans.

A group of career bureaucrats and former Obama administration officials were accused of conspiring to undermine President Trump. The House Intelligence Committee’s release of declassified transcripts related to the Trump-Russia collusion investigation revealed a lack of concrete evidence to support the collusion claim. This raised questions about the credibility of the accusations and fueled suspicions that some members of the “Deep State cabal” had been saying one thing behind closed doors while making wild and often contradictory claims in public.

Trump’s enemies within the political landscape may be overlooking his resilience and ability to rally his supporters. The left-wing media’s anti-Trump fervor, rather than weakening him, has, in the eyes of his supporters, only served to make him stronger.

The left’s steadfast refusal to acknowledge any successes or achievements of the Trump administration underscores a bias that fuels the perception of a hostile media environment. Trump’s opponents are aware that he has the potential to stage a remarkable political resurgence, underscoring the enduring political influence of Donald Trump.

One of the most enduring legacies of President Trump’s time in office is his role in exposing an alarming level of rot and corruption within the American political system. He shed light on the extent to which ruling class elements were willing to undermine a president who challenged the established order. The relentless efforts to destroy him, differing standards in the courts, and the use of hatred as a proxy for destruction all exemplified the determination of some to protect their interests, even at the expense of democratic norms and institutions.

Even after leaving office, President Trump remains at the epicenter of an unrelenting battle. High-profile events like the Georgia subversion trial and ongoing disputes over the 2020 election results underscore the enduring impact of his presidency on American politics.

The Georgia subversion trial showcases the enduring legal challenges surrounding the 2020 election, serving as a testament to President Trump’s dedication to ensuring the integrity of the electoral process.

The looming threat of impeachment in Texas is a calculated move by political opponents who seek to undermine individuals like Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and the values and ideologies they represent. It’s seen as part of a broader pattern where individuals perceived as Trump loyalists are targeted for their commitment to conservative principles, traditional values, and support for the former President.

President Trump’s presidency exposed enemies within the government and media who now actively conspire to diminish his influence and impede his legacy. Regardless of one’s political affiliation, it is crucial to recognize the significance of such power struggles and their potential consequences for individuals and society as a whole.

While the fight continues, it is important to remember the substantial accomplishments of the Trump administration and the ongoing commitment to America-first policies, which remain a cornerstone of political discourse. President Trump’s legacy, whether lauded or criticized, undeniably left an indelible mark on the American political landscape, inspiring passionate support for the principles he championed.

Texas AG Ken Paxton Acquitted In Impeachment Trial thumbnail

Texas AG Ken Paxton Acquitted In Impeachment Trial

/in , , , , /by

By The Daily Caller

The impeachment trial of Texas Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton came to an end Saturday, with the eligible state senators voting not to remove him from office.

The GOP-held state House voted to impeach the attorney general in late May over alleged corruption, bribery, obstruction and other charges related to the FBI’s investigation into real estate developer and Paxton donor, Nate Paul. The senators acting as the jury did not sustain the 16 articles of impeachment, and voted to acquit Paxton, according to the trial livestream.

The senators voted to acquit Paxton on the first ten articles of impeachment, as well as articles 15 – 20, according to the trial livestream. Two-thirds of the 30 eligible senators had to have voted to sustain at least one of the 16 articles in order for Paxton to have been convicted and removed from office.

The four articles that the Senate previously voted to be deliberated on at a later date, articles 11 – 14, were dismissed via a motion following Paxton’s acquittal, according to the trial livestream. Paxton’s wife, Angela, a Republican state senator, was not permitted to take part in the vote, but was still required to attend the proceedings.

Paxton pleaded not guilty to the 16 articles on the first day of the trial, and his defense attempted to discredit the prosecution’s arguments through evidence. The impeachment trial centered around testimony from former Paxton staffers, whistleblowers, current employees and other key witnesses.

Former President Donald Trump rushed to Paxton’s defense ahead of the verdict on Thursday, which the attorney general touted on social media.

“Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was easily re-elected last November, but now establishment RINOS are trying to undo that Election with a shameful impeachment of him,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Who would replace Paxton, one of the TOUGHEST & BEST Attorney Generals in the Country? Could it be a Democrat, or even worse, a RINO? The voters have decided who they want! Democrats are feeling very good right now as they watch, as usual, the Republicans fight & eat away at each other. It’s a SAD day in the Great State of Texas!”

Paxton served in both chambers of the state legislature before being elected as attorney general in 2014, according to Ballotpedia. The attorney general was reelected in 2018 by 3.6 points and in 2022 by nearly 10 points.

The attorney general announced Wednesday that he will sit down with Daily Caller News Foundation co-founder Tucker Carlson next week for an interview about the impeachment trial.

Post-Postmodern America, Meet Mao’s Cultural Revolution thumbnail

Post-Postmodern America, Meet Mao’s Cultural Revolution

/in , , , /by

By The Daily Signal

When the progressive woke revolution took over traditional America, matters soon reached the level of the ridiculous.

Take the following examples of woke craziness and hypocrisy, perhaps last best witnessed during Mao Zedong’s Cultural Revolution:

  • The Biden administration from its outset wished to neuter immigration law. It sought to alter radically the demography of the U.S. by stopping the border wall and allowing into the United States anyone who could walk across the southern border.

More than 7 million did just that. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden ignored the role of the Mexican cartels in causing nearly 100,000 annual American fentanyl deaths.

Then border states finally wised up.

They grasped that the entire open-borders, “new Democratic majority” left-wing braggadocio was predicated on its hypocritical architects staying as far away as possible from their new constituents.

So, cash-strapped border states started busing their illegal aliens to sanctuary blue-state jurisdictions.

Almost immediately, once magnanimous liberals—whether in Martha’s Vineyard, Chicago, or Manhattan—stopped virtue-signaling their support for open borders.

Instead, soon they went berserk over the influx.

So, now an embarrassed Biden administration still wishes illegal aliens to keep coming, but to stay far away from their advocates—by forcing them to remain in Texas.

That means the president has redefined the U.S. border. It rests now apparently north of Texas, as Biden cedes sovereignty to Mexico.

  • Pre-civilizational greens in California prefer blowing up dams to building them.

They couldn’t care less that their targeted reservoirs help store water in droughts, prevent flooding, enhance irrigation, offer recreation, and generate clean hydroelectric power.

Now an absurd green California is currently destroying four dams on the Klamath River. In adding insult to injury, it is paying the half-billion-dollar demolition cost in part through a water bond that state voters once thought would build new—not explode existing—dams.

  • The Biden administration is mandating new dates when electric vehicles will be all but mandatory.

To prove their current viability, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm led a performance-art EV caravan on a long road trip.

When she found insufficient charging stations to continue her media stunt, she sent a gas-powered car ahead to block open charging stations and deny them to other EVs ahead in line.

Only that way could Granholm ensure that her arriving energy-starved motorcade might find rare empty charger stalls.

In some California charging stations, diesel generators are needed to produce enough “clean” electricity to power the stalls.

The state has steadily dismantled many of its nuclear, oil, and coal power plants. It refuses to build new natural-gas generation plants.

Naturally, California’s heavily subsidized solar and wind plants now produce too much energy during the day and almost nothing at night.

So, the state now begs residents to charge their EVs only during the day. Then at night, Californians may soon be asked to plug them in again to transfer what is left in their batteries into the state grid.

Apparently only that way will there be enough expropriated “green” electricity for 41 million state residents after dark.

  • One of the loudest leftist voices to defund the police, and decriminalize violent crimes in the post-George Floyd era, was Shivanthi Sathanandan, the second vice chairwoman of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party.

She was recently not shy about defunding: “We are going to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department. Say it with me. DISMANTLE.”

But recently the loud Sathanandan was a victim of the very crime wave she helped to spawn.

Last week, four armed thugs carjacked her automobile. They beat her up in front of her children at her own home, and sped off without fear of arrest.

The reaction of the arch police dismantler and decriminalizer on her road to Damascus?

The now-bruised and bleeding activist for the first time became livid that criminals had taken over her Minneapolis: “Look at my face. REMEMBER ME when you are thinking about supporting letting juveniles and young people out of custody to roam our streets instead of HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS.”

  • Andrea Smith was an ethnic studies professor at the University of California at Riverside. But now she has been forced out after getting caught lying that she was Native American.

Prior to her “outing,” she was well-known for damning “white women” (like herself) who opted to “become Indians” out of guilt, and (like her) for careerist advantage.

The Takeaway

The common theme of these absurdities is how contrary to human nature, impractical, and destructive utopian wokeism is, whether in matters of energy, race, crime, or illegal immigration.

There are two other characteristics of the woke revolution.

One, it depends solely on its advocates never having to experience firsthand any of the nonsense they inflict on others.

And two, dangerous zealots with titles before (and letters after) their names prove to be quite stupid—and dangerous.

Alex Soros Holds Mystery Meeting with Nancy Pelosi on Capitol Hill thumbnail

Alex Soros Holds Mystery Meeting with Nancy Pelosi on Capitol Hill

/in , , , /by

By Discover The Networks

Alexander Soros, heir to leftwing billionaire financier George Soros’ empire, held a meeting on Capitol Hill Thursday with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).

Soros shared to social media a photo of the two standing inside Pelosi’s office. “Always great to see the American hero that is @SpeakerPelosi!” he wrote.

It is unknown what the two discussed, but their meeting came days before Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected to visit Capitol Hill.

The younger Soros, who has met with key Biden administration national security officials, is reportedly heavily focused on the war in Ukraine. As Breitbart News reported:

Mark Leonard, the director of the European Council on Foreign Relations, which George Soros’ Open Society Foundations (OSF) funds, told the Washington Post that the war in Ukraine is a key focus for the younger Soros. Alex Soros is “in daily contact with the Soros Foundation in Ukraine, talking to different governments about their policy towards Ukraine,” Leonard said.

Soros’ photo with Pelosi is one of the many photos of himself with prominent Democrat leaders that he has shared:

A partial list (which is by no means exhaustive) includes his meetings with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), whose Senate Majority PAC received $2 million in 2018 from the younger Soros and $14 million from the Soros super PAC in 2022; former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), whose House Majority PAC received $5 million from the Soros super PAC in 2022; House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY); former President Barack Obama; former Secretary of State and 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton; former President Bill Clinton, with whom Alex recently traveled to Europe and joined in a meeting with Pope Francis; Vice President Kamala Harris; Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer; Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA), who received $1 million for his runoff campaign from the Soros super PAC; Missouri Attorney General Keith Ellison; Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA); Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA); and, of course, President Joe Biden.

As Breitbart News reported:

Alex Soros told the Journal that he and his father “think alike,” but he is “more political” than the elder Soros. The Soros heir expressed particular interest in U.S. political causes involving “voting and abortion rights, as well as gender equity.” And he has indicated that stopping Donald Trump from winning the 2024 election remains a major concern and one for which he appears willing to use his considerable financial resources to prevent. He told the Journal, “As much as I would love to get money out of politics, as long as the other side is doing it, we will have to do it, too.”

Since October 2021, Soros held 20 meetings with top advisers at President Biden’s White House, according to visitors logs.

Cynthia McKinney, Just As Dumb As She Looks thumbnail

Cynthia McKinney, Just As Dumb As She Looks

/in , , , /by

By Jihad Watch

Cynthia McKinney — no, let’s be more accurate — “Cynthia McKinney, PhD” — doesn’t care for Jews. In fact, this former Congresswoman from Georgia hates them so much that she is willing to make common cause with David Duke, the former head of the KKK, who hates Jews, too — but also hates blacks. So deep is her hatred of Jews that McKinney is willing to overlook Duke’s contempt and hatred for blacks because he shares her hatred of Jews. She’s just tweeted her enthusiastic support for an antisemitic livestream on which former KKK grand wizard David Duke appeared along with black Anti-Semite Ayo Kimathi. More on her rapturous endorsement of an anti-black racist whose saving grace, in her view, is his antisemitism, can be found here: “Former Six-Term Democratic Congresswoman Tweets Support For Anti-Semitic Livestream: ‘I Know Where I’ll Be!,’” by Jennifer Bowers Bahney, Mediaite, September 11, 2023:

“I know where I’ll be and what I’ll be watching at 6:00 pm EASTERN time today!” McKinney posted and pinned to her X account. The tweet included a program poster that read, “Can Black People and White People Work Together To Defeat Our Common Enemy?” The title appeared above a Star of David and the words “Jews are the problem.”…

“Jews are the problem.” What does this remind us of? Why, it’s the Nazi slogan – “Die Juden sind unser Ungluück” (The Jews are our misfortune”) — that became the motto of Der Stürmer. The phrase was taken from the nineteenth-century racist (“blacks are inferior”) and antisemite Heinrich von Treitschke.

In 2002, McKinney pushed the conspiracy theory that Zionists were responsible for the 9/11 hijackings, and that then-President George W. Bush had foreknowledge of the attacks on the World Trade Center, The Pentagon, and over Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

As of 2021, Georgia legislators were working to rename the The Cynthia McKinney Parkway that runs through DeKalb, County in response to her anti-Zionism.

According to her bio, McKinney received her doctorate from the University of California at Berkeley and is currently a professor of political science at North South University in Bangladesh.

McKinney received only her B.A. from Berkeley. She has a “Ph.D” — she always signs herself “Cynthia McKinney, Ph.D.” to make sure we realize what an educated woman she is — from the now-defunct Antioch University. Her doctoral thesis was on “the transformational leadership of Hugo Chavez”; her Ph.D. was in “Leadership and Change.” Hugo Chavez’ leadership was “transformational,” all right — he was the Communist dictator who managed to bring the Venezuelan economy to complete ruin, and to impose a police state. That’s the kind of leader Cynthia McKinney admiringly calls “transformational.” On the eve of the 2002 election, which she lost, her father Billy McKinney, a State Representative, appeared on an Atlanta television and explained that his daughter’s uphill fight was because “Jews have bought everybody. Jews. J-e-w-s.” Antisemitism is a family affair.

And now she apparently teaches at something called “the North South University” in Bangladesh. Unable to be hired by any American or Western university, despite being a black woman, she managed to find a place at this doubtful-sounding institution. I presume — I don’t think she’s spending much time in Dhaka — she mostly phones it in, possibly visiting the school a few times each semester, to speak on “Leadership and Change.” It’s a way for a Muslim institution, or individual Muslims, to provide for her care and feeding. She’s earned their support.

That’s enough — more than enough — about Cynthia McKinney, Ph.D. What about her new BFF David Duke, whose livestreamed appearance with black nationalist and antisemite so excited her?

Here are two of David Duke’s animadversions on the matter of race:

“Racial idealism, or racialism, is the idea that a nation’s greatest resource is the quality of its people. It means examining all questions of government on the basis of whether the proposed measure is good or bad for our race. … Neither Communism, Capitalism, nor any other materialistic doctrine can save our race; our only racial salvation lies in a White racial alliance uniting our people with the common cause of racial idealism.” — September 1970 article in The Racialist

“Are facts racist too? Are white parents racist because they don’t want their children to go to school where their children are ten times more likely to be robbed or abused, intimidated, beaten, or even killed or raped? A school where obscenity, drugs and violence and gangster rap are the dominant culture? Where sexual intimidation, obscene or crude language, or even sexual assault is pervasive? Schools that academically resemble more the third world than America? I know some of you don’t worry about the white children in those environments. It’s considered noble to concern yourself with the well being of minorities even at the farthest ends of the earth. But if you’re white, and you concern yourself with the well being of your own people, even of your own children, you’re deemed racist. The real racism today is not by white people, it’s against white people.” — “Will the White Race Survive?” June 22, 2010

This is the company Cynthia McKinney chooses to keep: the former Grand Wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), the founder of the National Socialist White People’s Party, and then of the National Organization for European American Rights.

Like politics, the pathological condition known as antisemitism makes strange bedfellows. The black former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney and the former Grand Wizard of the KKK, David Duke, together again at last. They deserve each other.
