They all use the same tactics!-----A chilling comparison - American Thinker

A chilling comparison - American Thinker  By Thomas Lifson  link

"Rabbi Michael Barclay began his article at PJ Media Saturday with this scenario, that grabbed my attention:

A criminal is wrongfully killed, and “peaceful demonstrations,” which are actually violent riots, break out nationwide. The flag of a radical and violent group is placed next to the national flag on government buildings. Out of fear of being canceled and losing business, individuals and corporations succumb to publicly supporting this violent organization...A President overreaches and takes on “emergency powers,” which create an authoritarian regime that demands supportive behavior and calls any criticism “disinformation.” A new agency of the government is created to “fight this disinformation”… an agency that even has access to armed personnel...

• Obviously, this sounds like a narrative of America since George Floyd’s death in police custody in Minneapolis. 
• But Rabbi Barclay explains that it is actually a narrative of the development of the Nazi regime in Germany, where Horst Wessel’s death was used the same way career criminal George Floyd’s was. 

He explains this more completely in his essay, which I urge you to read in full..."

GWU student government wants conservative group suspended for ‘transphobic’ tweets link

"The George Washington University Student Association Senate unanimously passed a resolution last week which calls on school officials to suspend the campus chapter of the Young America’s Foundation for alleged “transphobic” tweets.
According to The Hatchet, the SAS approved the “No Place for Hate Act” on Monday which says a series of YAF tweets were “hateful,” and demands the campus Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion “conduct trainings” with the conservative group to ensure it “understand[s] why [its] statements were wrong.”
The allegedly hateful/transphobic tweets in question include:
— “oh the pro-pedo libs are gonna LOVE this one”
— “we aren’t the ones advocating for the grooming and sexualization of children …”
— “The statement that pedophiles shouldn’t be teaching in schools should not be controversial, it’s common sense.”

Biden’s New Disinformation Governance Board Is ALREADY Expanding Its Scope link
"...But in this case, the expansion makes the agency in question even more dangerous

to the American people than it was already.

• When Politico revealed the existence of the Board in an offhanded statement buried 60 paragraphs down in its Wednesday “Politico Playbook,” it said that the Department of Homeland Security was “standing up a new Disinformation Governance Board to coordinate countering misinformation related to homeland security, focused specifically on irregular migration and Russia.” 
• DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, however, went farther than that almost immediately, saying on Thursday: “We have just established a mis- and disinformation governance board in the Department of Homeland Security to more effectively combat this threat not only to election security, but to our homeland security.” 
• And when Jen Psaki defended Biden’s new Ministry of Truth on Thursday, she went farther still: “We know there has been a range of [disinformation] out there about a range of topics, I mean, including COVID for example, and also elections and eligibility.”..."

Jill Biden book sales embarrassingly low - TheBlaze: 

Based on book sales, readers are apparently not interested in paying $26 to "better understand" the personality of Jill Biden. Twitter reactions to the disappointing book sales had many commentators asking how the first lady to the most popular president in U.S. history could have such pathetic sales numbers. President Joe Biden set a new record with 81,284,000 votes in the 2020 election. Columnist Tim Young pointed out, "81 million votes, but Jill Biden's new biography only sold 250 total copies in 1 week."

This, Matt Morales said, was “equity work in creating a more inclusive learning community.”

Republicans vow to fight Biden's Disinformation Governance Board - TheBlaze: 

The Department of Homeland Security announced that it had created a new government entity to tackle online disinformation – especially on key topics of elections, COVID-19, the war in Ukraine, and the immigration crisis at the U.S. southern border.

World to run out of food in 27 years and 248 Days! - American Thinker

World to run out of food in 27 years and 248 Days! - American Thinker

"According to a report in the U.K. tabloid the Daily Star, some scientists are now predicting that the world will run out of food in 27 years. 

Twenty-seven years and 251 days, to be more precise...as of Sunday, April 24, 2022. (Start your doomsday countdown at home!)
So that's it — the science is settled, apparently.

We are done by 2050.

..."Sociobiologist" Edward Wilson (known professionally as E.O. Wilson) is quoted in the report saying, "There are limits to Earth's capacity to feed humanity. Even if everyone on the planet agreed to become vegetarian, the world's farmland could not support the need. The world population will be too big to feed itself..."

Serf or Slave? The Tax Man Cometh - Intellectual Takeout

Serf or Slave? The Tax Man Cometh - Intellectual Takeout  link

• On April 13th I sent a whopping check to the federal government and a lesser one to the government of Virginia. The total of these two checks equaled about 25 percent of my income.
• Throw in sales tax on food and goods, the tax on gasoline and heating fuel, the property tax I pay through my rent to my landlord, sundry other taxes, and the money I now pay annually for a business license—yep, you read that right, a guy sitting at the dining room table tapping a keyboard is a business—and I’m guessing I pay 35-40 percent of my money to local, state, and federal government. 
• Throw in the hidden tax of inflation, which has risen now to staggering levels, and I’m probably waving goodbye to 50 percent of my earnings.
• That’s interesting, because as several online commentators point out, a medieval serf paid his lord between 25 percent and 33 percent in labor or in crops. Most of us, particularly those in the dwindling middle class, shell out more than did those European peasants to their masters through the many hidden taxes that Americans pay...

From 2013. It's worse today!

FCC commissioner shoots down demand that government step in, block Elon Musk from buying Twitter: 'Absurd' - TheBlaze: 

"The Open Markets Institute believes the deal poses a number of immediate and direct threats to American democracy and free speech," the organization declared in a statement. Barry Lynn, director of the OMI, claimed that Musk's acquisition violates several laws, most of which are more than 100 years old. But Lynn's chief complaint is that Musk's purchase of Twitter while he owns Starlink, a satellite-powered broadband internet service, violates antitrust laws.
