Our new overlords-----Biden State Dept. Spox Calls Cops ‘Blue Klux Klan,’ and Largest Threat to U.S. National Security’
Biden State Dept. Spox Calls Cops ‘Blue Klux Klan,’ and Largest Threat to U.S. National Security’
"Just a few short years ago, the newly appointed deputy spokesperson for the Biden State Department wrote that the police posed the largest national security threat in America—greater than that of ISIS or Russia—because they were committing “genocide” against Black Americans.
In a 2016 Facebook post, uncovered by the Washington Free Beacon, Jalina Porter wrote:
“The largest threat to US national security are US cops.
Not ISIS, not Russian hackers, not anyone or anything else.
If ya’ll don’t wake up and rise up to this truth, the genocide against Blacks in America will continue until we are near extinct.
That’s not the world I seek to live in or create for myself and those around me.”...Read all.

Ron DeSantis becomes first Republican governor to unveil legislation cracking down on Big Tech - TheBlaze:
DeSantis cited multiple examples of overreach by social media content moderators, including the censorship of criticism of coronavirus lock downs, banning the sitting U.S. president, the suppression of the New York Post's bombshell Hunter Biden story, and the "decapitation" of Parler, a Twitter alternative popular with President Donald Trump's supporters that was kicked offline by Amazon Web Services for purportedly failing to impose satisfactory content moderation.
"Big tech has come to look more like Big Brother with each passing day," DeSantis remarked, accusing tech companies of holding "monopoly power over a centrally important forum of public discourse."
Must read!----How Our Oligarchy Crushes Terrorism - American Greatness
How Our Oligarchy Crushes Terrorism - American Greatness
But, by the way in which the FBI and Justice Department source stories such as those in the Journal and another that appeared in USA Today on January 30, they further the oligarchy’s narrative that the right-wing Proud Boys specifically, and conservatives in general, are responsible for the Capitol riot specifically and terrorism in general.
- The FBI’s increasing preference for political action over bona fide investigations is part of its overall decadence—laziness, incompetence, and eagerness to integrate with the ruling class.
"A January 26 Wall Street Journal “photo essay” sought to prove that shadowy right-wing groups were responsible for the January 6 riot at the Capitol, and hence to validate the oligarchy’s designation of their conservative opposition as “terrorists.”
Out of a photo of hundreds, it circled a member of the “Proud Boys.”
He turned out to be one Dominic Pezzola, who was also photographed smoking a cigarette in the Capitol.
How did the Journal know?
...The indictment itself says nothing about what role Pezzola and his friend played in the day’s events, nor about who these two are in relation to the millions of conservtive Americans.
...Led by an FBI informant, the Proud Boys did not, in fact, storm the Capitol.
But the presence there of two of its strays was enough to lend a whiff of reality to the narrative of right-wing conspiracy.
We cannot know whether the FBI intended that.
But in fact, its involvement in leading the Proud Boys helps the rest of the oligarchy and media to incriminate you and justifies the FBI further to profile, penetrate, and provoke you, the people you see, know, and care about.
Alas, the oligarchy under which we live has decided to treat us as terrorists.
That forces us to return the favor...Read all.
Selective outrage-----Far-right influencer 'Ricky Vaughn' arrested on charges of spreading disinformation to suppress 2016 voters
Far-right influencer 'Ricky Vaughn' arrested on charges of spreading disinformation to suppress 2016 voters
Douglass Mackey, 31, known on the internet as "Ricky Vaughn," is accused of anonymously conspiring with others in late 2016 to use Twitter and other social media to try to trick Clinton supporters to vote via text instead of casting an actual ballot, according to a criminal complaint.
"NEW YORK - A Florida man known as an influential far-right propagandist online was arrested Wednesday on charges that he used social media to spread disinformation in an effort to suppress votes for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election, federal prosecutors said.
...The alleged scheme "amounted to nothing short of vote theft," said William Sweeney, head of the FBI office in New York City, where the charges were filed. "It is illegal behavior and contributes to the erosion of the public’s trust in our electoral processes."
- ...One tweet he sent showed a photo of a Black woman with a Clinton campaign sign, encouraging people to "avoid the line" and "vote from home," the complaint said.
...Mackey was expected to be released on $50,000 bond following an initial court appearance in West Palm Beach, prosecutors said. If convicted of conspiracy charges, Mackey could face up to 10 years in prison...Read all.

- The provost awarded funding to a group that will present a formal proposal.
"The University of Chicago is considering the creation of a critical race studies department and is funding an effort to look into creating the new academic unit.
...As Campus Reform reported in October, a group of faculty members initiated a diversity strike, during which faculty members pledged not to participate or collaborate in university-sponsored diversity initiatives until their demands were met.
..."Alongside an adequately funded and autonomous Center for the Study of Race, Politics, and Culture, effective teaching and research on race at the University of Chicago requires a Department of Critical Race Studies. It is, in fact, extraordinary that we should have to articulate this as a demand in 2020," the letter stated...Read all.

Local Kroger Stores Close as California ‘Hero Pay’ Ordinance Backfires
“Ralphs and Food 4 Less, both owned by the parent company Kroger, announced Monday that they will be closing 25% of their stores in Long Beach after the city council passed an ordinance requiring companies with over 300 employees nationwide to pay employees an extra $4 per hour,” local news outlet Fox 11 reports.
- This result certainly wasn’t what local lawmakers intended, but it was actually quite predictable.

No Republicans Vote to Advance Biden's Stimulus Package - Louder With Crowder
No Republicans Vote to Advance Biden's Stimulus Package - Louder With Crowder: "No Republicans" was trending on the Twitter because no Republicans voted to advance Joe Biden's bill giving the American people $1,400. At least, that is how it was summarized. Biden deserves a modicum of credit for having a bill in the first place. He has mostly just been executive-ordering things. Possibly not even knowing what he has been signing, depending on the latest rumors you may have heard. I'm not saying I believe those rumors. But there is a reason why I would have my grandfather sign things for school that I didn't want my parents to see.
Anyway, let's get back to No Republicans.

Bjorn Lomborg: Paris Accord Would Only Lower Temperatures by 0.05F:
The Paris Agreement, if fully implemented, would lower temperatures around the planet by 0.05 degrees Fahrenheit, stated Bjorn Lomborg, president of the Copenhagen Consensus Center and author of False Alarm: How Climate Change Panic Costs Us Trillions, Hurts the Poor, and Fails to Fix the Planet, on Friday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow.
“If all nations did all of their promises, which include what Obama originally promised, we would see temperature cuts by the end of the century of less than 0.05 degrees Fahrenheit,” Lomborg said in reference to the Paris Agreement, an international agreement brokered by the United Nations and described by the institution as “an international treaty on climate change.”

The DTPA is essentially the criminalization of speech, expression, and thought.

Erasing history means erasing lessons "learned".-----"A great nation, though it experiences the worst of luck, does not suddenly collapse out of the blue."
Facebook--Jim Riley
- It can happen with frightening speed!
"A great nation, though it experiences the worst of luck, does not suddenly collapse out of the blue.
The seeds of its ruin are planted long before.
The threads that lead to ultimate disaster can be traced back.
"This was particularly the case with the Third Republic.
The seeds can be seen planted during the nineteenth century; the threads are not hard to pick up and follow.
France, it is true, fell as the result of one battle that raged for six weeks in the spring and summer of 1940.
But as Montesquieu observed: “If the hazard of a battle, that is, a particular cause, ruins a State, there was a general cause which determined that this State had to perish from a single battle.”
Yet only a quarter of a century before, the Third Republic had been strong enough, its government, Army, people, and institutions tough enough, to survive a succession of bloody and disastrous battles.
In the ensuing twenty-five years something happened that sapped that strength and toughness so that at the first visitation of adversity the Republic floundered and expired.
This is the subject of most of this book.
...As the French poet-diplomat. Paul Claudel once observed: “It is not enough to know the past. It is necessary to understand it.”
The lessons follow from that."
Shirer, William L.. The Collapse of the Third Republic: An Inquiry into the Fall of France in 1940 (p. 14). RosettaBooks. Kindle Edition."
