PODCAST: What do all Communist Globalists have in common? They LIE!

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

Until we recognize that the Globalists are our enemy, that they are in both parties, and unless we call them our enemy, we lose. These people are NOT true Americans. They want the destruction of America. For the past 60 years, they have taught our kids that America is the enemy. Where are these kids today? In government, media, and wall street. Who is their enemy? Americans.

Slowly these globalists have turned America’s bureaucratic agencies into the private military operation Barack Obama wanted.

Help Wanted: “Candidate must CARRY A FIREARM AND BE WILLING TO USE DEADLY FORCE.”

A new ad for police? NO! for the IRS!

Who is at risk from armed IRS agents? Why Americans, of course. After all, Americans, MAGA, are the enemy.

What do they think of us?

“The common enemy of humanity is man. In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine, and the like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome. The real enemy, then, is humanity itself.” – Club of Rome, a premier environmental think-tank, consultants to the United Nations.

What do Globalists believe: “Global Sustainability requires the deliberate quest of poverty, reduced resource consumption and set levels of mortality control.” – Professor Maurice King, Agenda 21.

Americans are the enemy. They are too rich, have too many luxuries, and must be cut down to the rest of the world. They want us controlled, impoverished, enslaved, or dead. They will stop at nothing to maintain power. So they merged agencies and armed them while taking away Americans’ means of protection.

All policies in the Green Broke Deal can be found in UN Agenda 21. This document is over 300 pages, 40 chapters of total control over the means of production and distribution of all means of human activity. Today this document goes by many names, i.e.:

  • Great Reset,
  • Green New Deal,
  • Build Back Better,
  • Agenda 2030,
  • Sustainable Development,
  • Resilient Cities.

But remember, a name change is not a content change. They all lead to one place, the destruction of America and western civilization.

Who are these Globalists? Where did they get their ideas? Remember, as I said before, these people are not Americans. They want the destruction of America and will do whatever it takes to make that happen. Globalists follow their leaders. The original elite was educated in the Frankfort School; today, the Aspen Institute, UN, and WEF carry the agenda. Sadly, Globalists take the worst from each ideology, and merge them together into an illogical, incoherent, overly expensive policy designed to destroy American values and culture.

Here are a few of the founders of the Marxist DNC and RINOs and what they promote:

John Maynard Keynes – Keynesian economics 1883-1946 – Keynes stated that if Investment exceeds saving, there will be inflation. If saving exceeds Investment, there will be a recession. “For the engine which drives Enterprise is not Thrift, but Profit.” businesses and people tighten their belts and spend less money. Lower spending results in demand falling further, and a vicious circle ensues of job losses and further falls in spending. Keynes’s solution to the problem was that governments should borrow money and boost demand by pushing the money into the economy. Once the economy recovered, and was expanding again, governments should pay back the loans. Keynes’s view that governments should play a major role in economic management is marked.

Karl Marx – 1883  Communism, Das Kapital – While many equate Karl Marx with socialism, his work on understanding capitalism as a social and economic system remains a valid critique in the modern era. In Das Kapital (Capital in English), Marx argues that society is composed of two main classes: Capitalists are the business owners who organize the process of production and who own the means of production such as factories, tools, and raw material, and who are also entitled to any and all profits.

The other, much larger class comprises labor (which Marx termed the “proletariat”). Laborers do not own or have any claim to the means of production, the finished products they work on, or any of the profits generated from sales of those products. Rather, labor works only in return for a money wage. Marx argued that because of this uneven arrangement, capitalists exploit workers.

Fabian – 1884

Fabianism became prominent in British socialist theory in the 1880s. The early Fabians rejected the revolutionary doctrines of Marxism, recommending instead a gradual transition to a socialist society. When Fabianism emerged in the United Kingdom during the 1880s, collectivism was widely considered necessary for human flourishing. believed that substantial state intervention would be necessary if ordinary individuals were to prosper. That dominant position also involved  collective responsibility for children’s education and nutrition, housing, and employment, along with support for care of the sick and aged.

Thomas Robert Malthus – 1766-1834 best known for his theory that population growth will always tend to outrun the food supply and that betterment of humankind is impossible without stern limits on reproduction. This thinking is commonly referred to as Malthusianism. The population will always expand to the limit of subsistence. Only “vice” (including “the commission of war”), “misery” (including  famine or want of food and ill health), and “moral restraint” (i.e., abstinence) could check this excessive growth.

Machiavellianism – named after the political philosophy of Niccolò Machiavelli,  In the field of personality psychology, Machiavellianism is a personality trait centered on manipulativeness, callousness, and indifference to morality. The political philosophy is that “the ends justify the means.” Those who follow this political concept are likelier to have a high level of deceitfulness and an unempathetic temperament.

Hegelian Dialectic – The ruling elite creates the crisis. They let the crisis fester until it becomes normalized. Something other than the real cause is blamed. Once the crisis escalates, the people demand a solution. The solution is offered by the same elite who created the problem.  This process is repeated over and over and simultaneously until the desired elite agenda is achieved.

World Economic Forum WEF – Klaus Schwab “You will own nothing and be happy.” The first thing to go is your personal car.

WEF Dr. Harari: Just give the humans drugs and video games, and they will be happy.

FBI terror list: https://republicbrief.com/fbis-cheat-sheet-for-dangerous-militia-symbols-includes-betsy-ross-flag/

‘Extremist’ symbols on the leaked FBI list include the so-called ‘Betsy Ross’ flag from 1777, The ‘Don’t Tread on Me’ Gadsden flag, the ‘2A’ abbreviation for the Second Amendment, and the ‘Tree of Liberty.’

Globalists believe that humans are nothing more than animals and should be corralled into cities where they will be easier to control. The government will control electricity, energy, food, healthcare mobility, housing, employment, and education. They do not care about the damage they do to the people because the people are the enemy. After they have destroyed MAGA, they will find another group to vilify.

As the late, great George Carlin said, “They have a club, and we ain’t in it.” As long as the Globalists are living la vida loca, they do not care. We can rot. You can see their indifference and disdain for the illegals sent to Martha’s Vinyard. Thanks to Obama’s parting gift of executive order 12333,

Expanding Surveillance Powers to spy on Americans, all agencies are merging information and are now armed to fight Americans. New rules issued by the Obama administration under Executive Order 12333 will let the NSA — which collects information under that authority with little oversight, transparency, or privacy concern — share the raw streams of communications it intercepts directly with agencies, including the FBI, the DEA, and the Department of Homeland Security, according to a New York Times report.

How do they want us to live?

Sustainable Development means control. Humans will be forced off rural lands and forced into cities so rural land can go back to the animals and humans can be controlled. They can’t get me, you say. Have a smart meter? The globalists control the power in your house. Find out more.

The Globalists know:

  1. Everything in America today is connected.
  2. There are no coincidences or random acts.
  3. Everything has a plan.
  4. All plans are based on lies.

Money, Power, and Control are their mantra. The Next time you hear about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), switch the words around and say Diversity, Inclusion, Equity to DIE. That is what they want us to do, and you will make them nuts.

Is America worth saving?

Twittergate and the Plot Against Free Speech

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

What happens when Twitter stops suppressing speech for the government.

“Don’t you think that users have a right to freedom of speech even if what they’re saying is wrong or offensive?” Fox Business correspondent Hillary Vaughn asked.

“I think that one human being should not be able to go into a dark room by himself and decide ‘Oh, that person gets heard from, that person doesn’t.’ That’s not how it should work,” Senator Elizabeth Warren retorted, referring to Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter.

The question is who should get to decide? On the heels of the Warren exchange, Senator Josh Hawley released damning evidence demonstrating that Biden’s “Disinformation Governance Board” had been interfacing with leftist eBay billionaire Pierre Omidyar’s network.

Warren objects to one billionaire member of the PayPal mafia, but not another making those decisions because they share a common set of political views that include censorship. While Musk put billions on the line to buy Twitter to protect free speech, Omidyar committed $100 million to fight “disinformation”, “fake news” and “hate speech”. That includes funding for leftist “fact checkers” who have been used by Big Tech monopolies to censor opposing views.

Warren, despite her rhetoric, is quite happy to have one human being go into a dark room and decide who gets heard from and who doesn’t, as long as he’s running the censorship machine to suit her. The leftist politician and her political allies in the Senate and House repeatedly pressured tech companies, especially Facebook, to censor their political opponents.

And she’s not alone.

The release of the Twittergate files at Elon Musk’s behest revealed the process by which the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story was censored.

The general counsel for Netchoice, a Big Tech coalition that included Facebook, Google, Amazon, PayPal and Communist China’s TikTok and Alibaba, claimed to have polled congressional staffers about how tech companies were handling the Hunter Biden story.

“The Democrats were in agreement: social media needs to moderate more because they’re corrupting democracy.” And when “asked how the government might insist on that, consistent with the First Amendment, they demurred: “the First Amendment isn’t absolute.”

The First Amendment is constitutionally absolute. But the Democrats are moving to undo the Constitution and its protections of freedom of expression to protect “democracy.” Twittergate had revealed the long game behind Russiagate which was about manufacturing a crisis, in this case Trump, as a pretext for treating free speech as a national disinformation crisis requiring the suspension of civil rights and liberties in order to save democracy. That’s still the plan.

It’s why Warren wouldn’t answer the simple question, once considered the cornerstone of our freedoms, whether those she disagrees with still have the right to freedom of speech. She’s not complaining that Musk is deciding who can’t be heard from, but who can be heard from. Her issue, to paraphrase the old glib libertarian line, is that he took over and is leaving people alone.

Big Tech’s complicity made the culture of censorship revealed by Twittergate possible.

Unable to immediately impose direct government censorship, the Biden administration and figures loyal to the Obama and Clinton administrations in the Justice Department, worked with Big Tech, the media and fact checking nonprofits fighting “disinformation” to create a speech cartel to maintain a leftist monopoly on speech. The existence of the cartel depended on political cohesion and covert censorship among the corporate leadership in the tech industry.

That’s what Musk’s stewardship of Twitter and the release of the Twittergate files has exposed.

In the Obama era, the formerly libertarian tech industry morphed from renegade hackers into pathologically woke campuses. Renegade college kids turned billionaires followed the Bill Gates ethos of finding a life outside work through social justice. BLM logos, pride flags and assorted causes joined the litter of nerdy paraphernalia of Warhammer figurines and Star Wars X-wings along with inspirational “Move Fast and Break Things” mottos in Big Tech workspaces.

It would have been impossible to imagine Big Tech bosses holding workplace meetings and crying when Kerry lost to Bush, but by the time Hillary lost to Trump, that was the new normal. Google had fought Obama’s censorship push over ‘The Innocence of Muslims’ in court before becoming one of the most strident tech monopolies suppressing a wide variety of views.

The compliance of the tech industry made a speech cartel possible. Until Musk broke it.

The government side of the speech monopoly needed Big Tech to do its dirty work for it by coordinating with leftist nonprofits, like Facebook’s fact checkers, to do the censoring.

But what’s the government to do when a tech company stops suppressing dissent on its behalf?

Warren’s plaint is revealing. How dare one man take on the function that had been allotted to the government. Someone, she insists, has to decide what speech to suppress. It never occurs to her that maybe people should be deciding what they read, watch and think for themselves.

But socialists just don’t think that way.

The exposure of the Disinformation Governance Board documents shows that the government side of the arrangement was more developed and further along than the Biden administration had been willing to admit when it tried to dismiss its existence as a random stray thought.

“Sec Mayorkas told me under oath that the Disinfo Board hadn’t met yet back in May. But DHS emails reveal their Disinfo ‘Steering Group’ held weekly meetings starting as early as February. The Board was up and running,” Hawley tweeted.

Secretary of Homeland Security Mayorkas had claimed that the board would focus on foreign propaganda and would not monitor Americans. That also proved to be untrue.

Say what you will about Elon Musk, but his decision making remains quite transparent.

Asked about restoring the Twitter account of Alex Jones, Musk tweeted, “My firstborn child died in my arms. I felt his last heartbeat. I have no mercy for anyone who would use the deaths of children for gain, politics or fame.” Compare that clear and concise response to secret meetings by a government board, private decisions by fact checkers who are funded by dark money machines tied to billionaires who issue press releases, but don’t discuss individual decisions.

Given a choice between Musk’s transparent plutocracy and a complex oligarchy, one man in a room whose preferences are clear, or a secretive network of political and economic interests invisibly manipulating online narratives to maintain a monopoly on speech, the choice is simple.

The underlying challenges of the internet have not gone away with Musk’s purchase of Twitter. Even assuming he hangs on to it and maintains liberal policies, that’s not any kind of solution. Musk created an alternative to a speech cartel, but the cartel is far more powerful than any one man, one company or one platform. And as the internet has come to be concentrated in fewer hands, a bottleneck dominated by one search engine, one social media giant, one retail channel, and two mobile operating systems, a monopoly on speech is inevitable.

The old decentralized internet was inherently free, web 2.0 is inherently unfree. The fact that it took $44 billion just to create a temporary space of free speech shows the scale of the problem. With someone in a room somewhere always deciding who should be heard, the marketplace of ideas ls constantly in someone’s hands. And that’s the opposite of the promise of the internet.

Change in the form of web 3.0 might be coming. Some believe that the tech monopolies are the final stage of an ossifying dead internet whose giant companies will collapse to make way for new things. But for now there’s little sign of this optimistic ‘internet spring’ in the real world where companies that spent endless billions to fund data centers, hardware and free services, and the investment giants behind them, still control our internet as thoroughly as China’s Xi.

When the Constitution first protected freedom of speech, the nation’s cities were filled with printers, most of them crude amateurs by European standards, who published a welter of contradictory leaflets, pamphlets and papers. A century later, newspapers were becoming concentrated in a small number of chains, and with the addition of radio and television, later created the media that conservatives spent generations fighting until the internet liberated them.

Once the greatest blow to speech monopolies, the internet has become a stifling speech monopoly operated with greater control and precision than CBS or Hearst could have imagined. The complexity and centralization of the internet has made it possible to disguise how it is censored to a previously inconceivable degree. But Musk’s breach in the speech monopoly has also revealed how comprehensive the censorship was the breath of its sudden omission.

“That’s not how it should work,” Senator Elizabeth Warren insists. But information, as hackers used to say, wants to be free. It takes a lot of work and a lot of money to keep it penned up.

Warren and her leftist allies are worried about free speech. They should be.

Twitter Had Secret ‘Blacklists’ That Suppressed Stanford Doctor, Top Conservatives, Docs Show

/in , , , , , , , , , , /by

  • Twitter maintained secret “blacklists” that included several prominent conservative voices and a Stanford professor of health policy, limiting the spread of their content, according to journalist Bari Weiss.
  • While Twitter kept a record of some of this activity, the most sensitive, politically charged actions were typically kept off-the-books by high-ranking members of Twitter’s staff, Weiss reported.
  • “Think about visibility filtering as being a way for us to suppress what people see to different levels,” a senior Twitter employee told Weiss. “It’s a very powerful tool.” 

Twitter kept secret “blacklists” that included a doctor at Stanford and several prominent conservative voices that suppressed their ability to be found or heard on the social media platform, according to journalist Bari Weiss, founder and editor of The Free Press and former Wall Street Journal and New York Times columnist, who launched the second chapter in Elon Musk’s so-called “Twitter Files” Thursday evening.

Weiss tweeted what appeared to be a photo of Stanford University’s Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a professor of health policy, with his account being prominently marked as being under a “Trends Blacklist.” Bhattacharya was secretly blacklisted because he “argued that Covid lockdowns would harm children,” and was thus unable to trend on the platform, according to Weiss.

In addition to Bhattacharya, Twitter placed Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk under a “Do Not Amplify” notice, while right wing talk radio personality Dan Bongino, who has appeared on Alex Jones’ InfoWars, was placed under a “Search Blacklist,” according to Weiss. The practice of limiting the access or reach of users’ content, commonly referred to as “shadow banning,” is something that Twitter has denied doing in the past, and is referred to internally as “Visibility Filtering” or “VF,” Weiss reported.

“Think about visibility filtering as being a way for us to suppress what people see to different levels,” a senior Twitter employee reportedly told Weiss. “It’s a very powerful tool.”

Twitter operated two teams that managed visibility filtering, with the lower-level team — known as the “Strategic Response Team — Global Escalation Team” — handling roughly 200 routine and recorded cases per day, Weiss reported. However, a second group, known as “Site Integrity Policy, Policy Escalation Support,” handled high-profile, politically sensitive accounts, making no record of their decisions, one Twitter employee told Weiss.

The second group included former Head of Legal, Policy and Trust Vijaya Gadde, former Global Head of Trust and Safety Yoel Roth, as well as then-CEOs Jack Dorsey and Parag Agrawal, Weiss reported.

“Think high follower account, controversial,” the twitter employee told Weiss. The employee noted that when this group was involved, “there would be no ticket or anything.”

The company’s internal slack messages showed that Roth was interested in using “deamplification” and “remediations” in order to slow the spread of viral content that the team considered to be misinformation, according to Weiss.

“We got [CEO Jack Dorsey] on board with implementing this for civic integrity in the near term, but we’re going to need to make a more robust case to get this into our repertoire of policy remediations – especially for other policy domains,” said Roth in a message to the company’s Health, Misinformation, Privacy and Identity research team, according to Weiss. “So I’d love research’s POV on that.”

After Twitter suffered a steep decline in advertising revenue following Musk’s takeover in late October, the company’s new CEO committed to fighting hateful content by reducing its visibility on the platform, in a Nov. 9 call with advertisers.

Weiss’ thread arrived six days after Matt Taibbi, contributing editor at Rolling Stone, launched “Part One” of Musk’s Twitter Files, focusing primarily on the mechanisms by which various high-level executives at twitter coordinated to suppress the spread of a New York Post article detailing a laptop owned by Hunter Biden.

Musk had initially tweeted on Dec. 2 that the second installment of the files would be released on Dec. 3, a date that he then pushed back “another day or so,” before going silent on the issue.

This is a developing story and will be updated.

President Donald J. Trump is, without question, a Philosemite!

/in , , , , , , , , /by

Philosemitism is a notable interest in, respect for, and appreciation of the Jewish people, their history, and the influence of Judaism, particularly on the part of a non-Jew, like Donald J. Trump and his family.

In the aftermath of World War II, philosemitism saw a great increase throughout Europe following the Holocaust, reshaping the relationship between Jews and European societies.

President Donald J. Trump, by his actions while in office proved himself to be a Philosemite and has advanced Philosemitism while in office in two important ways:

  1. By moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, thereby showing that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel.
  2. Making the Abraham Accords U.S. National Policy.

During his presidency President Trump had Israel’s and their Arab neighbors best interests in mind. He and his administration brought peace to the Middle East. He opened the door to dialogue between Arab and Jew. He lead by example.

To this day, President Donald J. Trump remains a strong believer in Philosemitism. His return to the presidency will result in even more love for the Jewish people globally.

Prove us wrong.

Kyrsten Sinema Leaves The Democratic Party

/in , , , , , , /by

Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema announced Friday that she was leaving the Democratic Party and registering as an independent.

“In a natural extension of my service since I was first elected to Congress, I have joined the growing numbers of Arizonans who reject party politics by declaring my independence from the broken partisan system in Washington and formally registering as an Arizona Independent,” she wrote on Twitter Friday.

Sinema has long be considered one of the more centrist and bipartisan members of Congress, drawing ire from the Democratic Party for refusing to back changes to the filibuster and, along with West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, preventing key legislation from being passed in the 50-50 Senate She argued that an increasingly polarizing political environment had made substantial policy progress difficult, and that registering as an independent was the best way to represent her constituents.

“In catering to the fringes, neither party has demonstrated much tolerance for diversity of thought,” she wrote in an Arizona Republic op-ed Friday further elaborating on her decision. “Bipartisan compromise is seen as a rarely acceptable last resort, rather than the best way to achieve lasting progress. Payback against the opposition party has replaced thoughtful legislating.”

The Arizona senator did not say whether she will formally caucus with the Democrats like fellow independents Angus King of Maine and Bernie Sanders of Vermont, according to CNN. However, Sinema has generally voted with Democrats, and is up for reelection in 2024.

“Most Arizonans believe this is a false choice, and when I ran for the U.S. House and the Senate, I promised Arizonans something different,” she wrote. “I pledged to be independent and work with anyone to achieve lasting results. I committed I would not demonize people I disagreed with, engage in name-calling, or get distracted by political drama.”

Sinema first announced the decision in an interview with CNN late Thursday.

“I’ve registered as an Arizona independent. I know some people might be a little bit surprised by this, but actually, I think it makes a lot of sense,” Sinema said.

Soros D.A.s Forge Initiative: Help Criminal Illegals, Prosecute Americans

/in , , , , , , , , , , /by

Breitbart News reports that District Attorneys across the United States who received financial backing from leftwing billionaire financier George Soros are forging a new criminal justice initiative that would treat criminal illegal aliens differently from Americans when prosecuting them for crimes.

Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón, for example, has issued a policy that requires county prosecutors to weigh so-called “immigration consequences” for illegal aliens accused of crimes to ensure that they are not put on the radar of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and, thus, arrested for deportation.

The initiative to treat illegal aliens differently from their American citizen counterparts in the criminal justice system has become a fixture of DAs backed by Soros in their campaigns.

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner — who raked in $1.7 million from Soros-linked groups — has imposed a similar policy that seeks discretion for illegal aliens charged with crimes to help them evade deportation by ICE agents.

Other DAs funded by Soros, including Cook County’s Kimberly Foxx and Contra Costa’s Diana Becton, have implemented nearly identical policies.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, also financially backed by a Soros-linked group, imposed a prosecutorial lenience policy for illegal aliens on day one after taking office, writing in a letter to staff, “The Office will seek dispositions that avoid immigration consequences for all misdemeanors, and all felonies for which non-carceral outcomes are the presumptive outcome.”

Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt, financially backed by a Soros-linked group in 2020, also announced so-called prosecutorial “reforms” in October to seek to charge illegal aliens with crimes that will not necessarily get them deported from the U.S.

George Soros and his pro-crime minions are enemies of the people.

376 Known Connections

On July 13, 2020, OSF, in support of the Black Lives Matter movement and its allies, pledged to donate $220 million into initiatives designed to help “build power in Black communities, promote bold new anti-racist policies in U.S. cities, and help first-time activists stay engaged.” The pledge earmarked $150 million in five-year grants for black-led “racial justice” organizations, and $70 million for a range of initiatives such as helping city governments reform policing and criminal justice by implementing a new approach to public safety that includes “moving beyond the culture of criminalization and incarceration.” “This is the time for urgent and bold action to address racial injustice in America,” said OSF deputy chair Alex Soros, George Soros’s son. “These investments will empower proven leaders in the Black community to reimagine policing, end mass incarceration, and eliminate the barriers to opportunity that have been the source of inequity for too long.” Tom Perriello, executive director of Open Society-U.S., said: “The success of this movement, the largest in U.S. history, will be measured over years, not weeks, and we cannot say that Black lives matter and not make a multi-year commitment to a strategy set by and centering Black leaders and organizations who changed America’s sense of what is possible.”

Soros-Funded Nonprofit Gets $12 Mil from U.S. to Empower Workers in Latin America

/in , , , , , , /by

The Biden administration is giving a nonprofit partially funded by leftwing billionaire George Soros’s Open Society Foundations (OSF) $12 million to strengthen labor rights and empower workers in three Latin American countries. The U.S. taxpayer dollars will go to the Solidarity Center, a Washington D.C.-based group closely allied with OSF as well as the country’s largest union conglomerate, the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO). The Solidarity Center’s mission is to help workers across the globe fight discrimination, exploitation and systems that entrench poverty. It claims to accomplish this by empowering workers to raise their voice for dignity on the job, justice in their communities and greater equality in the global economy.

The group will use the $12 million to “strengthen democratic, independent workers’ organizations in Brazil, Colombia and Peru,” according to the Department of Labor (DOL) announcement issued this week. The project will bolster unions and advocate for the full and free exercise of collective bargaining rights and freedom of association, the agency writes, adding that the focus will be on underserved communities and advancing gender and racial equity. Specifically, the American taxpayer dollars will support activities that improve respect for the rights of Brazil’s Afro-Brazilian, migrant, women and LGBTQI+ workers in the digital platform economy and the manufacturing sector. In Colombia, the focus will be on increasing the capacity of women, migrants, and indigenous people to organize and advocate for workers’ rights. In Peru, the goal is to improve access to mechanisms for labor rights compliance in the mining and agriculture sectors, particularly for indigenous and migrant workers.

The Solidarity Center, which claims to be the largest U.S.-based international worker rights organization, also operates in Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Most of its funding comes from Uncle Sam, but private groups like OSF also contribute generously. In 2020, the Solidarity Center received nearly $39 million in federal awards, according to its latest annual report. In 2019, the center got over $36 million from the U.S. government. Additionally, the group gets millions annually in “other revenues” that are not broken down. However, records obtained by Judicial Watch show that the OSF has given a lot of money to the Solidarity Center in the last few years. In 2020, the latest available reporting period, OSF gave the Solidarity Center $980,000. In 2019 the center received $785,000 from OSF and in 2018 it got $400,000 from the Soros nonprofit that has dedicated billions of dollars to leftist causes around the world. Soros’s global foundation explains that the grants are for economic equity and justice, access to justice for migrant workers in the U.S., to improve labor rights in Mexico and Central America, and the empowerment of vulnerable workers in the domestic and agricultural sectors in the Middle East.

The U.S. government has long funded Soros groups as well as those with close ties to them like the Solidarity Center. Judicial Watch has reported on it for years and obtained records that show the disturbing reality of American taxpayers financing Soros’s leftwing plots abroad. This includes uncovering documents showing State Department funding of Soros nonprofits in Albania to attack traditional, pro-American groups and policies; U.S. government funding of Soros’s radical globalist agenda in Guatemala , Colombia, Romania and Macedonia. The cash usually flows through the State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). Details of the financial and staffing nexus between OSF and the U.S. government are available in a Judicial Watch investigative report. Domestically Soros groups have pushed a radical agenda that includes promoting an open border with Mexico, fomenting racial disharmony by funding anti-capitalist black separationist organizations, financing the Black Lives Matter movement and other groups involved in the Ferguson Missouri riots, weakening the integrity of the nation’s electoral systems, opposing U.S. counterterrorism efforts and eroding 2nd Amendment protections.

GOP Senators Plot Another Illegal Alien Amnesty Betrayal

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

“Immediate danger posed by the lame-duck session of Congress that is now underway.”

After Senate GOPers ganged up to abolish marriage and religious freedom, the next betrayal may be even more devastating to the survival of this country.

As usual, the talks are private and secret because somehow we became a country where politicians reach dirty deals behind closed doors to which only special interests are admitted, resulting in disasters like ObamaCare and the Inflation Increase Act, but the calculated leaks are bad enough.

The current state of the deal reportedly involves amnesty for at least 2 million illegal aliens in exchange for the usual “border security” fig leaf. As usual, the aliens get citizenship, the border only gets less secure.

“Depending on who wins the Senate Georgia runoff, Democrats will need either nine or 10 Republicans to pass any legislation in the new year.”

They got enough Senate Republicans on board to abolish religious freedom. So alarm bells are ringing.

A broad coalition of hawkish immigration groups and former Trump administration officials are sounding the alarm about a Democratic push to get an amnesty for illegal immigrants passed in the final days of the current Congress — and telling Republican leaders to “take all actions necessary” to block it.

Groups including the Federation for American Immigration Reform, the Heritage Foundation, NumbersUSA and the America First Policy Institute have signed onto a letter to congressional leaders warning of an “immediate danger posed by the lame-duck session of Congress that is now underway.”

There’s skepticism that it will move forward. But it’s a fundamental demographic priority which means that if there’s any shot at it moving forward, Dems will prioritize it. And Senate GOPers will find ways to rationalize the sellout. Some of the same Republicans who voted to abolish religious freedom are also vocal proponents of illegal alien amnesty.

Sen. Thom Tillis provided crucial support for abolishing marriage and is working on the illegal alien sellout. Sen. Roy Blunt, who is retiring, also came out for amnesty.

Republican Sen. Roy Blunt of Missouri, who is retiring next year, signaled support for legislation to protect Dreamers, calling it “a pretty easy thing to accomplish if they want to accomplish that.”

Ernst is a big fan.

Sen. Joni Ernst is expressing frustration with the proposed $1.3 trillion budget deal Congress hopes to reach before a Friday night deadline, including the lack of a fix to protect young “Dreamers” from deportation.

She also is concerned the package does not address the hundreds of thousands of immigrants who entered the country as minors but are temporarily protected from deportation by DACA, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy, “which is such an important issue for many of us.”

“What they are trying to do is take out anything that might be controversial. At least that’s what has been expressed to us,” Ernst told reporters Thursday.

“I don’t see a DACA fix as being so controversial anymore,” the Iowa Republican continued. “We have to find a pathway forward for our DACA recipients. It’s disappointing that we’re not seeing that in the legislation.”

But Sen. Todd Young makes Ernst look conservative.

Sen. Todd Young said he supports a “path to legal status” for DACA recipients, known as Dreamers, as part of a broader immigration reform package.

That may be citizenship, it may not,” Young said. “My expectation is that it would be difficult over a longer period of time to sustain some sort of legal status that is not citizenship.”

Young isn’t confident, however, that any deal can be reached before the November election.

“It’s unfortunate to say it, but politics is trumping good policy – and long-delayed policy, in this case,” Young said.

Young said “nothing’s more important” than providing Dreamers with some measure of certainty.

To say nothing of the usual RINOs like Romney. There are a handful of senators potentially in play here who at least try to pretend to be conservative constitutionalists by virtue signaling on a few issues. They watch and see if anyone is paying attention before they vote. Is anyone paying attention?

War on Parents: The Left Calls Out the Big Guns

/in , , , , , , , , /by

The Left has called out the big guns in the War on Parents.  For those concerned about the early sexualization of children, there’s a lot more to worry about than just the small arms fire of individual school boards and teachers.  It’s time to pay attention to the infrastructure and institutionalized support networks behind them.

The biggest child abuser of them all just may be the state of California.  The state has been moving for the early release of inmates to reduce the prison population for the last five years.  The result has been more than 7,000 sex offenders convicted of “lewd or lascivious acts” with children under 14 being released in the same year they were convicted.  Those released early include kidnappers and rapists.

California is closely followed by Planned Parenthood whose sex education director has claimed babies are sexual from birth and children should be given pornography.  Planned Parenthood propaganda proclaims “sexuality is a part of life through all the ages and stages.”  If pornography is taught in the classroom, some kids will want to watch it and that’s a good thing, the director says.  This from a guy who wants to start sex education in kindergarten.

Big Philanthropy is not far behind.  The Walton family and their Walmart Foundation have given millions of dollars for LGBTQ-related causes, including drag queen story hours and drag shows for children.  Their money also funded a kid zone at a gay pride festival and a nearby ‘Sensory Zone’ targeting autistic children.  Why autistic children?  Because they have trouble grasping gender concepts, making them perfect fodder for the transgender-industrial complex.

The American Library Association is another big gun.  The ALA views any attempt to keep pornography out of the hands of children as ‘censorship’.  It works with well-funded LGBT pressure groups to train librarians how to thwart the efforts of parents and public officials to fight pornography in public libraries and how to disarm the media.  Hostility to religion is on full display.  Demonization of parents is a go-to technique.  So are shutting up parents at library board meetings and making them jump through hoops to challenge particular books.  The purpose of libraries pushing pornography is to “change lives” and soften kids up for acceptance of the gay political agenda.  Librarians relabel pornography as ‘diverse materials’ and deflect criticism by saying libraries just put books out there and it’s up to parents to monitor what their kids are reading.  But the ALA’s actions go way beyond that, feverishly collaborating with left-wing groups to oppose parental oversight boards and other parental rights measures in state legislatures around the country.

In essence, what public libraries are demanding is for taxpayers to continue to fund them, but for the public not to have any say in what materials are placed on their shelves.  That’s crazy.

The early sexualization of children is metastasizing and institutionalizing, with further examples of TV ads featuring teddy bears in bondage attire, a doll company telling kids how to get puberty blockers without their parents knowing, and hospitals offering sex toys to minors.

I’ve documented in previous commentaries how the early sexualization of children is a communist technique intended to destroy society.  I’ve also mentioned no society has survived the loosening of its sexual mores.  If you support the gay rights groups and others I’ve mentioned here today in their attempts to sexualize children early, understand you are being manipulated by the professional political Left every step of the way.  Understand also you are playing with fire, and it will burn your house down.  Let’s leave adult activities to the adults, OK?

NORTH CAROLINA: November 2022 Child Sex Crimes by Illegal Aliens—16 illegals = 74 charges

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

November 2022 has not brought any relief to the ongoing assault against our kids. During the month of November 2022, NCFIRE was able to document 16 illegal aliens who were charged 74 separate acts of child rape/ child sexual assault.

REMEMBER, we can only easily access about 2/3rds of the County arrest reports, out of the 100 counties that make up NC. Our info does NOT include the hundreds of city, town and municipality police reports NOR the NC State Highway patrol arrest reports. Our monthly numbers are most assuredly on the very low end of the actual monthly numbers.

Booker Worried GOP Will Hold ‘Crazy Hearings’ Attacking Bidens

/in , , , , , , , /by

Tuesday on CNN’s The Situation Room, Sen. Cory “Spartacus” Booker (D-NJ) said he is worried the Republican-controlled House will hold “crazy hearings” attacking President Biden and his crack-addicted, corrupt son Hunter.

Propagandist anchor Wolf Blitzer said, “You said in the past, senator, you would support a 2024 run for President Biden. Given where things stand now, do you still feel that way?”

Booker said, “Oh, very strongly if the president makes the decision to run. I don’t think we can point to any president, maybe going back to LBJ that a president has had as much of a successful two years.”

Successful at what? Destroying the country? What shameless gaslighting.

And Blitzer, of course, did not challenge Booker’s outrageous lie. He just said, “So what are your biggest concerns right now for Democrats looking forward, senator?”

Booker said, “Well, you know, I think my biggest concern is we’ve had a constructive bipartisan Congress. A lot of the things wave gotten done, we’ve gotten done together. So I’m really worried about the House of Representatives and listening closely to what they say, what they’re talking about is not their idea to deal with inflation or help working families. I’m worried their focus is much more attacking President Biden, going after his son, and doing crazy hearings that are not going to be productive and constructive to what Americans really need right now.”

Yes, crazy hearings like investigating the massive scale of Biden family corruption. We can’t have that.

Among the issues on which Booker has been most outspoken is immigration. He supports the passage of the DREAM Act and strongly favors a pathway-to-citizenship for the millions of illegal aliens currently residing in the U.S.  In December 2013, Booker joined fellow New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez in a 24-hour fast designed to draw attention to the need for comprehensive immigration reform. During his tenure as Newark mayor, Booker refused to allow his city’s police department to “play an I.N.S. function” and enforce immigration laws. “We are not to be running around doing interrogations about whether someone is documented or not,” said Booker.

Booker voted NO on S 2193 – an amendment to invoke cloture on, and thus overcome a filibuster against, the Stop Illegal Reentry Act (2016) – a bill designed to increase the maximum prison term for an illegal immigrant who reenters the United States after being denied admission or deported…

New York Attorney General Who Sued Trump Covered Up Muslim Chief of Staff’s Sex Harassment

/in , , , , , , , , /by

This is what a culture of corruption looks like.

The Point recently discussed the story of sexual harassment in Attorney General Letitia James’ office.

Attorney General Letitia James’ chief of staff has resigned after being slapped with multiple sexual harassment complaints, which were filed before Election Day and kept quiet as James cruised to victory, sources told The Post.

Two women filed sexual harassment complaints against Ibrahim Khan – and one of those women was told her claims of inappropriate touching and unwanted kissing were substantiated, according to The New York Times.

James’ office appears to have violated the law in trying to keep the story buried.

The attorney general’s office says that when allegations first surfaced against Khan, they opted to hire an outside law firm on Oct. 4 to conduct an investigation. That firm, Littler Mendelson, substantiated at least one of those claims.

By law, outside contracts of more than $50,000 must go to the New York State Comptroller’s office for approval.

Jennifer Freeman, a spokesperson for State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli, said on Friday night that “There is no contract before us for approval.”

In an email response to NY1, Delaney Kempner, a spokesperson for the attorney general admitted that the contract had not gone to the comptroller’s office, saying, “Due to the time it takes for financial terms to be appropriately reviewed and approved, it is not unusual for Office of Attorney General to engage a firm for time sensitive matters with an engagement letter while financial terms are being reviewed.”

When asked if Khan had undergone mandatory sexual harassment training, as required by law for state employees, the attorney general’s office refused to say, or provide, any documentation showing he had.

Ibrahim Khan, a former Muslim Students Association president, had led James’ campaign and served as her chief of staff. He was a close ally and James appears to have tried to handle it covertly. All the while James waged a ruthless campaign against conservatives, illegally targeting the NRA and Trump.

This is what a culture of corruption looks like.

Housing’s Stunning Downfall in One Chart: Prices Have Plunged in 51 of These 60 Cities

/in , , , , , , /by

Home Prices are Down in Every One of the Top 58 Metros According to the Latest AEI Data. But Cities in this Region Have Taken the Biggest Hit so Far.

In the Fortune article below Shawn Tully discusses recent declines in the housing market and their variability between regions with Ed Pinto, the Director of AEI’s Housing Center.

It’s official: The sudden reversal in home prices that began this spring has hit every one of America’s major metros with declines from their recent all-time peaks. What’s remarkable is the gigantic range of the pullbacks from region to region, and how the biggest losers are due to keep falling fast, while the metros that so far have taken the most modest hits should face only relatively small retreats from their pinnacles by the close of 2023.

That’s the evidence from a report just issued by the American Enterprise Institute’s Housing Center. Each month, the AEI measures the total change in home prices in 58 markets from their previous summits. The new chart shows that 45 of those cities crested to cap a synchronized spiral between April and June, though a handful peaked later, including Miami and North Port in July, and Greenville, Charleston and Cincinnati in September. For the first time in October, every one of the 58 markets registered a fall from their high points, ranging from -12.9% in San Jose to -0.5% in Memphis.

The West takes the biggest pounding

The October numbers highlight a continuation of the most striking trend: the sharp pullbacks in the western cities. Indeed, of the fifteen metros showing the largest shrinkage, the metro farthest east is Austin. Posting the second steepest slide behind San Jose is San Francisco (-12.3%), followed by Seattle (-10.9%), Las Vegas (-9.4), Phoenix (-9.3%), San Diego (-9.2%), Sacramento (-8.7%), Austin (-8.5%), and Denver (-8.1%). Portland, Salt Lake City, Los Angeles, Boise and Colorado Springs have all retreated between 7.0% and 7.3% from their peaks notched just a few months ago.

These western markets—especially those in California—typically suffer from super-strict zoning laws that artificially restrict new building and hence severely limit the supply of housing. Those bottlenecks lifted prices gigantically over the past decade. From the start of 2012, Salt Lake City gained 159%, San Jose, San Francisco and San Diego between 163% and 168%, Austin 170%, Seattle 180%, and Riverside 194%. The champ was once sleepy Boise at 230%.

Boise boomed because it offered much more affordable housing than on the Golden State coasts, and hence attracted a wave of Californians who would work from anywhere in the post-COVID economy. But that mass migration has rendered its once-bargain housing far less attractive. The outflow from the likes of San Francisco and Seattle also greatly swelled prices in such formerly low-cost markets as Phoenix, Las Vegas, and Tucson. But now, a big swath of America’s western tier is pricing tens of millions of potential buyers out of the market, especially now that 30-year mortgage rates are hovering at nearly 7%, their highest level in decades. The upshot: A collapse in demand that’s sent values tumbling 7% to 13% in just a couple of months. “The places with the fastest growing prices in recent years are the ones correcting the most, and they’re all in the west,” says Ed Pinto, the director of the AEI Housing Institute.

VIEW: Home prices change since peak map.

Florida and Midwest are showing relatively small decreases

“What impresses me most is that while all markets have declined, the range of the declines is huge,” Pinto told me in a phone interview. He notes that the cities faring best are a mix that fall into two categories. The first are industrial metros in the Midwest and east that missed the boom. For example, Pittsburgh and Milwaukee gained 75% and 94% respectively since the start of 2012, less than half the increases in the hottest west coast locales. So their residents typically don’t flee in search of cheaper housing. Pittsburgh’s dropped just 3.5% from its peak, and Milwaukee’s down 1.7%. Memphis, St. Louis, Omaha, Philadelphia, Chicago and New York have all slid less than 2% of their respective high water marks. “The cities in the Midwest and Northeast are correcting the least,” says Pinto. “Their values didn’t rise nearly as much as in the western metros, so they don’t have nearly as far to fall.”

The second group encompasses sunbelt metros where prices have jumped just as sharply as on the west coast, but that are proving far more resilient than a San Jose or Seattle. The phenomenon is especially strong in the Sunshine State. Over the past ten years, the average house in the North Port market that includes Sarasota has waxed by 199%, while the Cape Coral homeowners gained 203%, nearly as much as Boise. Such Florida hotspots as Deltona and Orlando have registered comparable increases. Yet those metros have suffered only a fraction of the damage in the western markets. Of the group, Cape Coral had the largest fall at -3.5%, while Deltona, North Port and Orlando are down between 1.6% and 0.6%. Pinto points out that the Florida markets are still benefiting from super tailwinds, notably the exodus of buyers from the midwest and East Coast who can enjoy the sunshine while working from home, and prices that despite the big run-up, remain highly affordable versus the Western and Northeast metros. For example, the median sales prices in Q2 stood at $385,000 in Cape Coral and $400,000 in Orlando, highly attractive to families searching the ads in New York or Denver.

Where will housing prices go from here?

Pinto predicts that we’ll see a continuation of the present trajectory through the end of 2023—the West Coast markets will keep dropping rapidly, and the still relatively affordable sunbelt metros will suffer relatively small declines from their record highs. “In markets such as San Jose, San Francisco and Seattle, you could see a total decline from the spring peaks of 30%,” says Pinto. “That means another 15% or more from the decreases they’ve experienced through October.” On the other hand, he believes that the combination of continued strong population growth and affordable prices, sustained by strong levels of new construction versus the West Coast markets, will keep future total declines in the mid-single digits. “I see decreases of maybe 5% to 7% in markets such as North Port, Orlando, and many affordable Sunbelt markets,” he says.

As for the metros of the industrial Midwest and Northeast that are so far displaying only small declines, and never boomed in the first place, Pinto says that their housing values are highly dependent on the course of the overall economy. “If a recession kicks in unemployment will go up in a Memphis, Chicago or St. Louis,” he says. “Then their price declines will accelerate. But those places are still relatively affordable. If unemployment stays low, we’ll see relatively small total decreases from their peaks, along the lines of what we’ll see in the sunbelt markets benefiting from all the in-migration.”

Put simply, we’re witnessing a tale of three markets, the overpriced, extremely vulnerable West Coast from where people are fleeing, the Sunbelt that’s boomed but whose affordability provides good protection, and the Midwest and Northeast that didn’t join the joy ride, but whose fortunes will closely track the trend in employment. “I expect that the immense variability we’ve seen from region to region to continue,” Pinto concludes. The lesson from Pinto’s analysis is that we don’t have to see a steep fall everywhere where prices soared, because in many of those places, notably much of Florida and the Carolinas, homes remain a good deal for the natives and folks from the pricier regions. Keep in mind that the flexibility to live where housing’s most affordable and still keep your California or New York job has transformed the market. But in the West where the boom pushed homes beyond the reach of the broad swath of potential buyers, we’ll see jaw-dropping drops. And the already steep declines in October are just the beginning.

Levine Calls on Doctors to Be ‘Ambassadors’ to Normalize Transgenderism

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

In a video from late September making the rounds now on Twitter, the Biden Administration’s Assistant Secretary for Health Rachel Levine, a man who identifies as a woman, called on doctors to serve as “ambassadors” in an attempt to normalize transgenderism.

Levine remarked, “I encourage all of you to think of yourself as ambassadors to your communities, ambassadors for science,” as well as for “compassion” and for “care.”

“These conversations don’t need to be limited or restricted to a medical setting,” Levine added. “Offer yourselves as informational resources not just for youth but for school teachers, principals, school boards, professional organizations, recreation centers, county commissioners, and others who would benefit from this information and your perspective. Please proactively seek out opportunities to speak about what you know.”

Levine went on to say, “We need to have these conversations that question the assumptions that are underlying today’s attacks on trans people. Pushing back the veil of ignorance demands this extra effort.”

The Biden administration official then finally made an inarguably true statement: “Medicine and science are being politically perverted around this country.” They certainly are — by leftist radicals like Levine.

“Those who attack our community are driven by an agenda of politics, it has nothing to do with medicine, it has nothing to do with science,” he added.

This is known as Progressive projection: the Left always accuses its opponents of that which it is guilty of.

During a Pride Month Town Hall which was live-streamed by the Democratic National Committee in late June 2022, Levine accused “opponents of LGBTQ equality” of “target[ing] trans and queer youth to score political points.” “Every major medical association agrees: gender-affirming care is life-saving, medically necessary, age-appropriate and a critical tool for health care providers,” added Levine. “As a pediatrician, when it comes to making sure kids are healthy and happy, I know how important care that affirmed someone’s true identity can be.” In response to Levine’s remarks, Florida Department of Health spokesman Jeremy T. Redfern told Fox News Digital: “The Surgeon General is opposed to experimental and irreversible medical treatments on children and teenagers that suffer from gender dysphoria. The idea that this makes anyone at the Department of Health an ‘opponent of LGBTQ equality’ is nothing more than a poorly attempted character assassination.”

Favorite Parlor Tricks of the Left

/in , , , , , , , /by

The White House press secretary’s reaction yesterday to revelations Twitter censored the Hunter Biden laptop story before the 2020 election is a case study in favorite parlor tricks of the Left and their fellow travelers in the Democrat Party.

The first thing Karine Jean Pierre said is that the Twitter revelations are “old news”.  The Left always says this when they’re caught red-handed.  It’s their parlor trick of last resort when they’ve run out of other options.  ‘Old news’, huh?  Let’s go back and look at the old news.  Joe Biden said in 2020 before the election:

There are 50 former national intelligence folks who said that what [Trump’s] accusing me of is [being] a Russian plant. Five former heads of the CIA, both parties, say what he’s saying is a bunch of garbage. Nobody believes it except his good friend Rudy Giuliani.

Basically, Joe Biden claimed the laptop was Russian disinformation, something which nobody – not even the New York Times – believes anymore.  But the news this week is that Twitter suppressed the story in 2020 on the specious grounds it was hacked information when they had no evidence of a hack.  So, Jean Pierre’s explanation about ‘old news’ is completely bogus.

Next, she said the new revelations are a “distraction”.  This from the masters of distraction.  A distraction from what – Joe Biden’s 8 percent inflation rate?  His low approval rating?  Rising crime?

Then out came another trick the Left always uses when it’s losing – change the subject.  Jean Pierre condemned the “rising volume of anger, hate, and antisemitism” on Twitter.  If you can’t refute the argument, talk about something else – anything else.  In this case, the White House is even holding a roundtable on antisemitism tomorrow to try to change the subject.  People won’t even notice the roundtable, but they will remember Elon Musk’s spectacular confession Twitter was trying to rig the 2020 election by killing the Hunter Biden laptop story.

Let’s look at some other favorite parlor tricks of the Left in the news, recently:

Stacey Abrams said she opposes defunding the police, but led a group that worked to defund the police.  That’s called gas lighting.

The supposedly impartial civil servants at the Census Bureau admitted they overcounted the population in blue states and undercounted in red states, altering representation in Congress.  That’s called stacking the deck, which is what you do when you can’t win fair and square.

The Biden administration is now nudging employers to put workers’ retirement funds into left-wing causes like climate change and diversity through ESG scores.  That’s called rigging the system, and it’s what you do when you don’t understand how to create wealth.  You glom on to other people’s money, instead.

When all else fails, just lie.  Tell people you oppose late-term abortion when you voted for abortions up to birth.  Run as a Progressive in the primary, then scrub your website and run as a moderate in the general.  Claim the 1994 assault weapons ban reduced gun crime when it didn’t.  In fact, lie so much – about gas prices, Social Security, the deficit, your student loan program, and your tax policies – even CNN has to admit you’re a liar.

My nephew recently told me he’s a ‘man of the Left’.  Glad I’m not a ‘man of the Left’.  What horrible, awful, wretched people.
