‘No One Gives A Sh*t About Your Mother’: Megyn Kelly Rips Harris’ Recent Interview Response

/in , , , , , , , /by

SiriusXM’s Megyn Kelly tore into Vice President Kamala Harris’ recent interview with MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle, criticizing Harris’ response when discussing her upbringing.

Harris referenced her “middle-class” background while outlining her economic plan for the upcoming election during her interview with Ruhle on Wednesday evening. Kelly slammed Harris for repeatedly mentioning how her mother “raised” her and her sister in a “middle-class” household, urging the vice president to “stop talking” about her family and instead focus on “people who are actually suffering.”

“Then she finishes it off with — we didn’t play this — but, ‘I come from the middle-class. My mother raised my sister and me, she worked hard.’ No one gives a shit about your mother, they care about themselves. Stop talking about your mother [and] start talking about the people who are actually suffering,” Kelly said.

WATCH:

“So the only thing she said in the whole answer, and this was at the very end, was, ‘So my vision for the economy is let’s deal with some of the everyday challenges that people face and address them with common sense solutions.’ And then we got these four words — such as, yes, what? Affordable housing — okay?” Kelly continued. “Affordable housing, she’s going to solve that. We’re not sure how but she’s mentioned a $25,000 tax break for first time home buyers only. So if you’ve already owned a home you’re effed. If you’re struggling to pay your mortgage, but it happens to be your second home you’re effed. That’s it. And then she wants to somehow create more houses — we don’t know how.”

Harris has often discussed her mother and middle-class upbringing when addressing her solutions to the economy. In an interview with 6ABC Philadelphia’s Action News on Sept. 13, Harris rambled about her middle-class upbringing and lawns while attempting to address how she plans to make life more affordable.

Euphemisms, Propaganda, and “Losing Reality Bit by Bit”

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

Globalism is a replacement ideology that seeks to reorder the world into one singular, planetary Unistate, ruled by the globalist elite. The globalist war on nation-states cannot succeed without collapsing the United States of America. The long-term strategic attack plan moves America incrementally from constitutional republic to socialism to globalism to feudalism. The tactical attack plan uses asymmetric psychological and informational warfare to destabilize Americans and drive society out of objective reality into the madness of subjective reality. America’s children are the primary target of the globalist predators.

American-Canadian psychologist Dr. Kenneth Zucker, founder of Toronto’s Child Youth and Family Gender Identity Clinic (GIC), is an internationally acknowledged expert on children and adolescents with gender dysphoria. His cautious “watchful waiting” approach respected the natural maturation process in which the vast majority of gender dysphoria resolves itself without medical intervention. In 2015, Toronto’s Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, the hospital where Dr. Zucker’s clinic was located, accused him of practicing conversion therapy, and of shaming and traumatizing patients. Dr. Zucker, who was psychologist-in-chief at the time, was fired and the hospital closed the clinic. He was eventually exonerated and awarded damages in a lawsuit against the hospital, but radical gender ideology had won the battle.

Dr. Miriam Grossman writes about Dr. Zucker’s concerns about “iatrogenic persistence,” the result of medical intervention discussed in Chapter 35:

Dr. Zucker calls social transition a dangerous psychosocial intervention “with the likely consequence of subsequent (lifelong) biomedical treatments… (gender-affirming hormonal treatment and surgery).” He argues it’s an intervention often conducted by schools and other institutions unqualified to implement such a course of treatment.

In 2014, even the American Psychological Association still warned that “Premature labeling of gender identity should be avoided” and “early social transition…should be approached with caution to avoid foreclosing this stage of (trans)gender identity development.” (Lost in Trans Nation: A Child Psychiatrist’s Guide Out of the Madness,[i] p. 121)

Before sex assignment surgery takes place, there is a process known as social transition, in which the student adopts a new gender identity, a new name, pronouns, often new clothing, hair style, and use of opposite-sex facilities such as bathrooms and locker rooms. During this period of social transition, parents, friends, and teachers are supposed to endorse the student’s belief that he or she is in the wrong body. Dr. Grossman reminds parents that it is their responsibility to support objective reality, and advises parents that supporting a delusion is not a loving gesture, especially when it leads to harm:

“Affirmation” has a positive connotation, and when ideologues chose that word, it was a strategic move. Affirming your child seems kind and loving. Instead of distressed, she’s comfortable. She’s happy. But it’s not kind or loving to validate an untruth.

Adults have a responsibility to represent reality. The reality is your daughter’s sex was established at conception….

If you validate your son’s girl identity, you agree that his body is wrong, and should be rejected. You confirm the disconnect between his mind and his physical reality. You agree he knows best who he is, and what he needs…think of the impact on your son. He feels he’s a girl, and you agree! … He’s never felt so empowered. You’ve turbo-charged his self-esteem. Of course, it feels good, at least temporarily.

Consider also the possibility that your son’s social affirmation may affect the wiring of his brain. You heard me right. Neuroplasticity is the well-established phenomenon in which thinking, behavior, and experience alter brain microstructure. Each time your son hears his new name and pronouns it’s a learning experience that creates a memory. We all know repetition is key to learning. We know as well that the brain is constantly rewiring—its structure is changing—in response to life’s experiences. (Lost in Trans Nation, pp. 119–120)

Dr. Grossman also warns parents about euphemisms, explaining the objective reality that “top surgery” is bilateral mastectomy, or breast amputation. In 2023, while she was writing her book, there were 45,375 girls seeking donations on GoFundMe to pay for what gender surgeons euphemistically call a “masculinized chest.” She points out the staggering hypocrisy:

Mind you, these are the same people who insist that five-year-olds use anatomically accurate terms, not childish nicknames, for their genitals. They soberly instruct us to teach the words “scrotum” and “vulva” to kindergarteners. But the imprecise, trivial-sounding “top surgery”—that language is fine. (Lost in Trans Nation, p. 157)

Dr. Grossman is appalled by the explosion of “gender-affirming” surgeries on children:

And don’t tell me these operations are only done on adults. In a study of 68 patients who underwent the procedure at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, almost half were girls between thirteen and seventeen, and that was way back in 2016. A letter from plastic surgeons at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine published in the journal JAMA Pediatrics reported between 2016 and 2019, the annual number of “gender-affirming chest surgeries” increased by 389 percent, likely a significant underestimate, because it included only surgeries performed in hospitals. Many of these procedures take place outside of hospitals in surgery centers owned by plastic surgeons. The letter documented that 77 percent of patients used private insurance or were self-pay, and the average cost was $30,000. (Lost in Trans Nation, p. 158)

This brings the discussion to insurance coverage. The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) bars plans offered on Healthcare.gov from discrimination based on gender, which has been interpreted to include transgenderism, and this has led to broad coverage of gender surgery and an explosion in transgender surgeries.

A March 2018 article published in Modern Medicine, “Employee health insurance, Obamacare make sex change a new reality for 1.4 million Americans,”[ii] reports:

Johns Hopkins’ data shows that 61 percent of in-hospital surgical procedures for gender affirmation were covered by insurance between 2012 and 2014, compared with just 35 percent from 2006 to 2011. Tech companies like Amazon, Apple and IBM all cover the surgery for their employees.

Now, compare Johns Hopkins’ data with the GlobeNewswire report in March 2020, “Sex Reassignment Surgery Market to hit USD 1.5 Bn by 2026: Global Market Insights, Inc.“[iii] The subtitle reads “U.S. sex reassignment surgery demand is estimated to expand at 24.5% CAGR (compound annual growth rate) during 2020 to 2026 owing to the continuously growing gender reassignment surgeries in the country.”

Clearly, sex reassignment surgery is big business. Many are wondering how it is possible for these atrocities to be taking place.

Dr. Grossman writes:

Why do girls and young women dream of going under the knife and waking up with flat chests, and sometimes, to save a few bucks, without nipples? They have mental health problems, a traumatic past, family issues, or maybe just intense teenage angst and erroneously believe my colleagues who claim removing body parts will bring them relief. (Lost in Trans Nation, p. 158)

How in God’s name are these atrocities taking place? Simple. The surgeons who carved up Jake, Ritchie, Scott [children’s case studies], and others––leaving them infertile and disfigured––can justify their work: They provide gender-affirming care; they “follow WPATH’s standards of care.”

What is WPATH? Read carefully, parents, you need to know.

WPATH is the “World Professional Association for Transgender Health”—sounds impressive, right? Like a group of doctors with stethoscopes and pocket protectors, conducting research, examining evidence, and carefully formulating guidelines for clinicians? It may once have been, but no longer.

WPATH is an NGO formed in 1979. They promote their standards of care (SOC) as the model of best practice, the gold standard. Many, if not most, US hospitals, clinics, and private physicians and therapists base their practices on WPATH SOC.

How close to a gold standard are they? An independent, peer-reviewed analysis in 2021 gave them a quality score of zero out of six.

WPATH presents its approach to patients, parents, and providers as the only valid, evidence-based option, yet its recommendations have been formally rejected by Sweden, Finland, Norway, and Britain and questioned by medical groups in France, Australia, and New Zealand. Although WPATH guidance advises hospitals, clinicians, and even courts, WPATH itself suffers from identity confusion: while presenting as an unbiased science-based medical group, it is in truth an advocacy organization run by activists who have an unwavering goal of affirmation at all costs. (Lost in Trans Nation, pp. 187–188)

Dr. Grossman introduces the reader to psychiatrist Dr. Stephen Levine, who resigned from WPATH after twenty-five years of senior positions in the organization. In 2001, Dr. Levine, an authority on transgenderism and gender dysphoria in children and adolescents, chaired the committee that was developing WPATH’s fifth Standards of Care. The committee recommended retention of the requirement for two letters of support from mental health providers prior to hormonal interventions, and another two letters before surgical interventions.

Richard Green, president of WPATH at the time, considered letters to be “gatekeeping” and appointed a new committee. SOC-6 required only one letter, and SOC-7 dispensed with letters altogether. Dr. Levine resigned, saying:

I resigned my membership in 2002 due to my regretful conclusion that the organization and its recommendations had become dominated by politics and ideology, rather than by scientific process, as it was years earlier.

Dr. Levine withdrew from WPATH because he recognized that political medicine is antithetical to scientific medicine, and medicine for social change is not health medicine. SOC-8 has no age restrictions or counseling requirements at all, and advances affirmation as the only solution to gender dysphoria. WPATH advocates blockers, hormones, and surgeries on demand, as it deceitfully promotes respect for patient autonomy (separation from parents) as its “ethical” principle.

Why is WPATH, a political activist organization, accepted as the medical authority on gender-affirming care? How can such malevolence be accepted as authoritative settled science? The answer may surprise you. Author Michelle Stiles offers an insightful explanation in her 2022 book, One Idea to Rule Them All: Reverse Engineering American Propaganda.[iv] It is an exceptional analysis of propaganda and how it is being used in America against Americans.

Stiles is a physical therapist with a thoughtful and incisive analytical mind. Her medical training adds a scientific dimension to her philosophical insights. She begins her book with a play on the ring verse from Lord of the Rings, J. R. R. Tolkien’s epic high-fantasy novel published in 1954. The novel’s title refers to the evil Dark Lord Sauron, ruler of the land of Mordor, who seeks to rule all of Middle-earth with the ring of power. Substituting “One Idea” for “Ring” in the verse, Stiles reminds the reader that megalomania is not just the stuff of literary fantasy:

  • One Idea to rule them all,
  • One Idea to find them,
  • One Idea to bring them all,
  • And in the darkness bind them. (p. 4)

What is this One Idea? The answer begins with a Frenchman, Gustave LeBon, whose 1886 book, The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind,[v] is considered to be a seminal work on crowd psychology. LeBon explored the attributes of crowds and presented techniques for engineering public opinion that appealed to feelings rather than facts. This was a seismic shift in perspective, creating a new methodology for public debate that was initially used to sell an unpopular war to Americans in 1917.

Two-term president Woodrow Wilson (1913–1921) appointed progressive journalist George Creel to head the Committee on Public Information (CPI), created by executive order on April 14, 1917, six days after the United States formally declared war on Germany and entered World War I. Creel’s job was to sell the war to a skeptical and hesitant American public, so they would support the war effort and endure their inevitable sacrifice in men and money. Creel’s manipulative marketing campaign, “Make the world safe for democracy,” was wildly successful.

Michelle Stiles describes “the extensive propaganda apparatus that Creel euphemistically titled “The House of Truth,” including:

  • Division of News
  • Foreign News Division
  • Advertising Division
  • Division of Pictorial Publicity
  • Division of Films
  • Academics
  • Division of Speaking
  • Four Minute Men
  • Junior Four Minute Men
  • Speaking Circuit
  • National School Service Bulletin (pp. 10–11)

Stiles explains:

The “House of Truth” was designed and created to ensure that everyone was pulling in the same direction. For those who would not, dissenting ideas were monitored, codified as illegal, and censored. Creel established the following acts and groups to suppress dissent:

Snitch Patrol: Four Minute Men [local leaders, businessmen, professional men] were encouraged to identify, interrogate, and even report people in their communities who expressed anti-war sentiment.

Espionage Act (1917): Upheld censorship of ideas considered deleterious to the war effort.

Sedition Act (1918): Made any criticism of the Wilson Administration illegal. (p. 12)

CPI hired American publicist Edward Bernays to help build support for the war domestically and abroad. Bernays, the nephew of Sigmund Freud, referred to his CPI work as psychological warfare. He realized that if you could persuade the public to accept an unpopular war by avoiding rational arguments for and against involvement, and appeal to people’s feelings instead, you could convince anybody of anything. Bernays applied the principles of propaganda to marketing, and became the father of public relations.

Bernays exploited LeBon’s mass-persuasion techniques for civilian use, applying them to commercial businesses. In his 1928 book, Propaganda,[vi]Bernays tries to remove the negative wartime connotation from the word propaganda, presenting propaganda as a legitimate marketing tool and necessity for orderly living. He begins the book with a stunning paragraph, and then continues with a surprising level of naiveté:

Chapter 1

Organizing Chaos

The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country….

They govern us by their qualities of natural leadership, their ability to supply needed ideas and by their key positions in the social structure. Whatever attitude one chooses toward this condition, it remains a fact that in almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons—a trifling fraction of our hundred and twenty million—who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind, who harness old social forces and contrive new ways to bind and guide the world.

It is not usually realized how necessary these invisible governors are to the orderly functioning of our group life…. (pp. 37–38)

The instruments by which public opinion is organized and focused may be misused. But such organization and focusing are necessary to orderly life.

As civilization has become more complex, and as the need for invisible government has been increasingly demonstrated, the technical means have been invented and developed by which opinion may be regimented. (pp. 39–40)

It is the purpose of this book to explain the structure of the mechanism which controls the public mind, and to tell how it is manipulated by the special pleader who seeks to create public acceptance for a particular idea or commodity. It will attempt at the same time to find the due place in the modern democratic scheme for this new propaganda and to suggest its gradually evolving code of ethics and practice. (p. 45)

Edward Bernays demonstrated a shocking naiveté regarding how the psychodynamics of propaganda and social engineering would be used by the invisible government. Michelle Stiles is not so naïve. She explains how Bernays himself established the prototype. The idea for selling anything from pianos to ideas was the switch from established techniques of the “hard” sell to the new techniques of the “soft” sell.

Rather than relying on the facts and merits of a product or idea (hard sell), the new methodology required creating a demand for the product or idea. Bernays called it the science of “creating circumstances.” This is how it works. In the old days if a salesman wanted to sell a piano, he would talk to the customer about the merits of the piano. Not anymore. Bernays explained that the trick was to present the piano in ways to make the customer demand the piano. This was accomplished through “influencers” in collaboration with media.

In his book, Bernays explains that the modern propagandist must create the circumstances that result in demand for the piano, so he arranges an exhibition attended by key people called “influencers.” The exhibition is staged in a gorgeous drawing room with rare books, tapestries, and the piano.

The music room will be accepted because it has been made the thing. And the man or woman who has a music room, or has arranged a corner of the parlor as a musical corner, will naturally think of buying a piano. It will come to him as his own idea.

Under the old salesmanship the manufacturer said to the prospective buyer, “Please buy a piano.” The new salesmanship has reversed the process and caused the prospective buyer to say to the manufacturer, “Please sell me a piano.” (Propaganda, pp. 77–78)

Bernays applied LeBon’s new techniques for engineering public opinion to sell cigarettes to women as “sexual liberation.” Bernays arranged for photographers to “catch” a woman “spontaneously” lighting up a Lucky Strike cigarette in public during the 1929 Easter Parade on Fifth Avenue. His wildly successful Torches of Freedom campaign sold cancer-causing cigarettes to women by appealing to feelings rather than to facts. Is this starting to sound familiar?

Stiles explains how Bernays used stagecraft to sell products, and how politicians could do the same to sell ideas:

Debate, reasoning, and the appeal to truth were now passé. Bernays showed how the savvy political leader could orchestrate events, dramatize issues, steer public opinion, and create demand for a predetermined solution waiting in the wings—just off stage.

Dramatizations would be created to appear as organic grassroots concerns percolating in and through the population at large, creating the illusion of spontaneous synchronicity. Subsequent tailored “interventions” would be supplied later by astute political leaders. Only after the collective national mind had been primed in this manner, would a political leader take a stand to influence the national “discussion.”

In reality, no discussion was intended—or desired. The staged sequence of events was choreographed to win support for the predetermined outcome regardless of the merits of the issue. (Stiles, One Idea to Rule Them All,pp. 52–53)

Bernays was using the Hegelian dialectic to create more demand for cigarettes, just as stagecraft was used to sell World War I to Americans in 1917. Political theater, like political medicine and politicized educational indoctrination, requires a foundational shift from facts to feelings in order to succeed.

This brings our discussion back to Michelle Stiles’s book title, One Idea to Rule Them All, and how Bernays’s invisible government is exploiting stagecraft and abusing the psychodynamics of propaganda with coordinated repetition in order to socially engineer the acceptance of transgenderism.

WPATH, the primary authority/influencer on transgenderism, unapologetically advocates surgery for aligning the body with the mind, rather than therapy for aligning the mind with the body. Why? What is the social purpose of this therapeutic reversal? To answer these questions, we must remember that political medicine is about social change, not public health. Political medicine is using the same artifice to create demand for transgenderism that Bernays used to create demand for cigarettes. The actions may be separated by 100 years, but the processes for change are the same manipulative and deceitful Hegelian dialectic.

Dr. Miriam Grossman’s horror is expressed in her description of WPATH’s latest Standards of Care, SOC-8:

The Standards of Care introduced a new sexual orientation: an individual who is “assigned male at birth (AMAB) and wish[es] to eliminate masculine physical features, masculine genitals, or genital functioning.”

I wish it weren’t so, but in WPATH’s latest SOC, a chapter is dedicated to eunuchs. Boys and men seeking castration are now under the ever-widening “gender-nonconforming” umbrella. They identify as people without testicles, so castration affirms their identity….

WPATH’s 2022 conference kicked off with a keynote from the Admiral [Rachel Levine, the transgender admiral and Assistant Secretary of Health for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)]: “Our task quite simply is to educate the public in the United States and throughout the world…. We have the power to expand the boundaries of science and of public understanding.” (Lost in Trans Nation, pp. 193–194)

Educate the public is a powerful euphemism for indoctrinate the publicdelivered by a “trusted” authority representing the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. In reality, the Admiral is a transgender ideologue delivering a self-serving political narrative disguised as public health, selling transgenderism to an unsuspecting public.

Dr. Grossman concludes her remarks about affirming surgeons with a chilling warning:

Trans is old. Nullo is new.

Some affirming surgeons are ready and willing to perform whatever fits a patient’s fleeting fancy: phalloplasties, vaginoplasties, bilateral mastectomies, and hysterectomies; castration and “eunuch affirmation surgeries”; or even “genital nullification” leaving patients with no genitals at all. One affirming surgery clinic’s website states:

Genital nullification, Nullo, or Eunuch procedures involve removing all external genitalia to create a smooth transition from the abdomen to the groin. In some cases, this involves shortening the urethra. For patients born with a uterus, a hysterectomy is required prior to any genital nullification procedure. Your specific goals can be discussed with one of our surgeons to develop a plan that works for you.

The last line means that if you want a penis and a vagina, that’s okay too. Just tell us what you want, we create custom-made genitals….

Understand that once the gender ideologues achieve one goal, without hesitation they move to the next. Now the monstrous “bottom surgeries” have been normalized, as if they’re not sterilizing, savage procedures with too many debilitating complications, pain, and woes to count. But before you know it, they’re normalizing eunuchs and “nullo” surgeries, creating bodies that appear neither male nor female….

We can’t get used to all this.

It’s just “gender-affirming surgery,” nothing to see here—that’s the goal, so they can go further to the next deviant thing, and the next.

Too many believe this is all about compassion, respect, and rights. That’s a cover. The goal has always been the breakdown of norms. (Lost in Trans Nation, pp. 194–195)

Dr. Grossman exposes the “gender-affirming” industry as ideologically driven political medicine, guilty of using euphemisms to advocate transgenderism. Political medicine rejects biological facts and embraces feelings as its new metric for rationalizing surgical interventions on emotionally disturbed patients. It exploits Bernays’s stagecraft, the science of creating the circumstances, to create the escalating demand for “gender-affirming” surgeries. Political medicine is weaponized medicine. It endorses subjective reality, rejects objective reality, and pressures society to accept madness as sanity in its campaign to collapse America from within.

Michelle Stiles concludes her book with reflections on the future in a section titled “Losing Reality Bit by Bit.” Her remarks are particularly relevant because the War on America is a war of attrition:

Every ten years, a generation that has been raised in comparative freedom from propaganda dies off and is replaced by a generation incubated and grown up in a culture of deception. How much longer before the ability to think for oneself is completely extinguished?

Will there be anyone alive who can lead us back to the “old” idea of truth and authentic relationships that existed prior to the propaganda tsunami that was unleashed in the 20th century and now pervades the 21st century?

What happens when even the desire for truth has been obliterated, and all that remains is fictitious reality masking the underlying tyranny that is willingly accepted by the stupefied masses?

Those who were alive during the middle of the great propaganda debate and perceived the danger were true prophets of the age.

They had ominous words to say about the future of mankind, Aldous Huxley being the most prominent:

There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution. (Brave New World Revisited, 1958, Aldous Huxley, p. 253)

Aldous Huxley was describing the globalist elite strivings for totalitarian control and one-world government. Transgenderism is prelude to transhumanism and technocracy in globalism’s planetary managerial Unistate.

Report: 95% of Major Network Coverage of Trump Was Negative After Second Assassination Attempt

They blame Trump. The Democrat media axis wants him dead.

Report: 95% of Major Network Coverage of Trump Was Negative After Second Assassination Attempt

By: Olivia Rondeau, Breitbart News, Sep 19, 2024:

Establishment media coverage of former President Donald Trump was found to be 95 percent negative following the second attempt on his life, according to a Media Research Center (MRC) analysis.

ABC, CBS, and NBC News all broadcasted overwhelmingly negative commentary on the Republican presidential candidate after Sunday’s thwarted shooting at the Trump International Golf Course in Florida, MRC found.

“A look at the first 72 hours of coverage on the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts — Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights — finds that while the attempted assassination dominated campaign coverage, these networks’ anti-Trump spin was nearly as bad as it could be: 95 percent negative, vs. just five percent positive,” wrote MRC contributing editor Rich Noyes.

While the attempted assassination allegedly perpetrated by 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh made up 70 percent of campaign news airtime at all three networks, 20 out of the 21 evaluative comments reviewed by the center were negative towards Trump.

After Secret Service agents thwarted Routh’s by shooting at him as he allegedly waited to get a shot at Trump, he said that “communist left rhetoric” was to blame:

Over on NBC, Lester Holt related the “apparent” assassination attempt to Trump’s “rhetoric” just hours after the would-be gunman was taken into custody:

“Today’s apparent assassination attempt comes amid increasingly fierce rhetoric on the campaign trail itself. Mr. Trump [and] his running mate JD Vance continued to make baseless claims about Haitian immigrants in Ohio,” the anchor said.

During CBS’s Monday night broadcast, Norah O’Donnell fired back at Trump’s claim that leftist rhetoric is what fanned the flames of violence against him:

“Donald Trump is blaming Democrats for inflaming political rhetoric, but the former president’s own words seem to be increasing the threat of political violence in Springfield, Ohio,” she said. “That’s where a false and ugly accusation against Haitians, thousands of whom are legal permanent residents, is impacting everyday life.”

In a similar vein, NBC reporter Garrett Haake argued that Trump “has also used incendiary language against Democrats”:

“These networks gave relatively little time to the accusation that these attempted shootings might have been influenced by Democratic rhetoric painting Trump as an existential threat,” MRC said.

“Out of 48 minutes of coverage of the attempted shooting, the three networks spent less than two minutes (1 minute, 53 seconds) on the possibility that Democrats could share the blame.”

“These networks gave relatively little time to the accusation that these attempted shootings might have been influenced by Democratic rhetoric painting Trump as an existential threat,” MRC said.

“Out of 48 minutes of coverage of the attempted shooting, the three networks spent less than two minutes (1 minute, 53 seconds) on the possibility that Democrats could share the blame.”

Unbelievable. But wait so do others on the fake-stream media.

The Bottom Line

To date there have been two assassination attempts on the life of Kamala Harris’ political opponent.

The most recent is by a Democrat would-be assassin named Ryan Routh.

Ryan Routh made at least 19 donations to the Democrat fundraising organization ActBlue.

Routh’s social media is riddled with Trump hate, recruiting people to go fight for Ukraine, pleas for Taiwan and anti-Israel content. He was looking for revolutionaries to take the whole system down.

An agent, who was part of Trump’s surveillance team, opened fire at about 2 p.m., the source told The Post.

The would-be gunman Routh, who was in a tree line just off from Trump International Golf Course West Palm Beach, fled.

Authorities later found a GoPro camera and the assault rifle, according to sources.

Officials told CNN that the shots fired were intended to harm the former president, contrary to earlier reports. The New York Post had initially reported that two persons had been firing at each other and were not targeting Trump.

As Marcus Tullius Cicero said, “The enemy is within the gates; it is with our own luxury, our own folly, our own criminality that we have to contend.”

Are you still wondering how we got to this point?

Well it all started with Kamala Harris in 2018!

Kamala Harris openly joked about assassinating President Trump in 2018 as an audience of lobotomized clapping seals cheered on the Ellen Show.

This is what happens when “leaders” are not careful in how they speak.

WATCH: Remember when Kamala joked on TV about killing Trump. Do you still wonder how we got here?

So Kamala and her lesbian host Ellen had a great laugh about it. Ha, ha, ha!

QUESTION: If any Republican, or Donald J. Trump, went on live television and joked about assassinating Kamala Harris, or any Democrat for that matter, what do your think the legacy media would do?

ANSWER: They would go wild with conspiracy theories and viciously condemn their comments.

But if a Democrat or Kamala does it they get a free pass.

I remember the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. He, like President Trump, was beloved. He, like Trump, hated Communism. JFK, like Donald Trump, was a life-time member of the National Rifle Association. RFK, like Trump was pro-American and anti-crime.

As Ronald Reagan said in his October 27, 1964 “A Time for Choosing Speech,“:

I have spent most of my life as a Democrat. I recently have seen fit to follow another course. I believe that the issues confronting us cross party lines. Now, one side in this campaign has been telling us that the issues of this election are the maintenance of peace and prosperity. The line has been used, “We’ve never had it so good.”

But I have an uncomfortable feeling that this prosperity isn’t something on which we can base our hopes for the future. No nation in history has ever survived a tax burden that reached a third of its national income. Today, 37 cents out of every dollar earned in this country is the tax collector’s share, and yet our government continues to spend 17 million dollars a day more than the government takes in. We haven’t balanced our budget 28 out of the last 34 years. We’ve raised our debt limit three times in the last twelve months, and now our national debt is one and a half times bigger than all the combined debts of all the nations of the world. We have 15 billion dollars in gold in our treasury; we don’t own an ounce. Foreign dollar claims are 27.3 billion dollars. And we’ve just had announced that the dollar of 1939 will now purchase 45 cents in its total value.

As for the peace that we would preserve, I wonder who among us would like to approach the wife or mother whose husband or son has died in South Vietnam and ask them if they think this is a peace that should be maintained indefinitely. Do they mean peace, or do they mean we just want to be left in peace? There can be no real peace while one American is dying some place in the world for the rest of us. We’re at war with the most dangerous enemy that has ever faced mankind in his long climb from the swamp to the stars, and it’s been said if we lose that war, and in so doing lose this way of freedom of ours, history will record with the greatest astonishment that those who had the most to lose did the least to prevent its happening. Well I think it’s time we ask ourselves if we still know the freedoms that were intended for us by the Founding Fathers.

Read President Reagan’s full speech.

I was a JFK Democrat. I didn’t leave the party, the party left me!

Today, 60-years later, we say that it is definitely a time for choosing.

Choose wisely on November 5th to save America and our Constitutional Republic.

Before we can discuss “The Future They Want” according to the United Nations and its quest for a one world government of slaves, we should understand what has been done to destroy the American economy and turn America into the third world country of slaves. Ricki DeSantis has been involved in economic research for the last 20 years. He has done an extensive report on the state of the American economy today. He will be sharing that information on the show and in this newsletter. Please listen to the show several times and share this information so you can prepare. The government lies. It is up to us to spread the truth.

One plan is to control our land. According to the American Stewards of Liberty, Americanstewards.us The USDA is preparing policy to implement the Sustains Act, which will monetize NATURAL PROCESSES determining who will own “environmental services,” which include the air we breathe, photosynthesis, pollination, and the health benefits of open space.

We have until Sept 16 to register comments.

https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/news/usda-requests-public-input-on-implementation-of-sustains-act

The other plan is to keep us in debt while they control our money. They print money, give it to themselves and their donors and force us to pay the debt they create. We cannot allow this to continue. We must vote and vet the candidates we vote for.

Here is the evidence from Ricki:

I just finished digging into the details of the BLS (Bureau of Labor Statistics)  Reports involving the data they just released for the August 2024 numbers.

I will discuss the August 2024 data just released by the BLS, and then go into the other documents which goes into depth on the manipulation of the numbers using plug numbers, eliminating key data, overstating and understating data and never telling people that these are their estimates NOT real numbers. As we have seen for 18 months, they are revised down significantly the following month and I will show why.

I address the Job Creation Numbers they put out to the public, the CPI (Consumer Price Index) , Inflation Rate, Unemployment Rate and Labor Participation Rate. All are connected and when they “plug” the numbers in one, it doesn’t make sense when you review the others….

Pets, Ducks, Geese and Drivers Are in Peril in Springfield, Ohio as Haitians Run Wild

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

You will recall from the faux Debate that the 3-1 cabal against Trump tried to say this was a lie…well it isn’t!

Question: What is a Cat held between two slices of bread?

Answer: A Haitian pet sandwich.

The Left Is Powerless in Stopping the Haitians Eating Pets Story…And It’s Amazing to Watch

Matt Vespa • Townhall

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry, though in this instance, it’s not a statement regarding some appalling examples of liberal media bias. For the Ohio Haitians ‘eating the pets’ story, it’s pure entertainment, maybe a touch of schadenfreude: the liberal media is being tortured in their attempt to neutralize the story. Contrary to the establishment press, this story hasn’t been debunked. There’s no way within 48-72 hours that authorities can verify dogs and cats are not being eaten by the tens of thousands of Haitians in Springfield, Ohio.

As for the local birdlife, geese and ducks are being eaten, with police reports to corroborate the allegations. Even a fact check done by local media on that story’s angle hasn’t negated it. If anything, it might have shined a light that this problem has expanded. I’m talking about the viral picture of the migrant holding a dead goose—that was not in Springfield but nearby Columbus.

WATCH: The Left Is Powerless in Stopping the Haitians ‘Eating Pets’ Story

WATCH: CNN’s Acosta loony tunes over President Donald J. Trump and Haitians eating cats

The inability of the media to suffocate this story alluded to the industry’s appalling lack of trust. No one believes them, no matter how hard they try. It only seems to further entrench people’s belief that Haitian migrants are running wild in Springfield. The consumption of pets needs to be verified, but many corroborating eyewitness accounts exist. Geese and ducks are being taken, driving out of control in the town. It’s led to fatalities.

The 10 Kamala Harris Lies Moderators Let Slide at the ABC News Debate

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

Presidential debates have often been compared to professional wrestling matches, but the ABC News debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris more closely resembled a handicap match, with Trump taking on three opponents at once: Harris and both moderators. As “World News Tonight” anchor David Muir and ABC News Live “Prime” anchor Linsey Davis regularly fact-checked Trump in real time, they allowed Harris to get by with numerous evasions and false statements on such issues as late-term abortions, post-birth executions, government pregnancy monitors, the economy, and haggard canards about “very fine people” at Charlottesville.

Here are a few of Kamala Harris’s misstatements that the ABC News moderators let her get away with.

1. Late-term abortion is a myth?

Kamala Harris attempted to deny President Trump’s charge that the Democratic Party supports late-term abortion by denying such abortions take place. “Nowhere in America is a woman carrying a pregnancy to term and asking for an abortion,” Harris dodged.

In reality, 21 states allow abortion until birth: Six states have no legal limit protecting unborn children, and the rest allow abortion after the point of viability thanks to a vague and expansive “health of the mother” exception.

Late-term abortions are well-documented. In 2022, pro-life advocates found the remains of five babies whom abortionist Cesare Santangelo aborted late in their term or possibly after birth at the Washington Surgi-Clinic in Washington, D.C. The Biden-Harris Justice Department advised the District of Columbia to destroy the evidence.

“In 2013, New Mexico abortionist Shelley Sella faced medical board sanctions after she committed an abortion on a child at 35 weeks,” reports Carole Novielli of Live Action. “In 2003, abortionist Charles Rossmann gave abortion pills to a woman who was past 30 weeks.” Southwestern Women’s Options in Albuquerque’s website advertised that “abortion services are available through 32 weeks. Exceptions after 32 weeks are provided on a case-by-case basis.”

A 1981 Philadelphia Inquirer article documented that, in abortion facilities, “unintended live births are literally an everyday occurrence,” but they are “hushed up” instead of treated as “a problem to be solved.”

More than 56,000 abortions took place after 21 weeks, according to the most recent CDC report.

2. Abortions after birth don’t happen?

The issue of infanticide cropped up during the debate, as President Donald Trump cited comments made by a former Virginia governor about allowing babies born alive during birth to die — a position Trump called “execution after birth.” Lindsey Davis responded to Trump’s comments on abortion by saying, “There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it’s born.”

It is true that during a 2019 interview, then-Virginia Governor Ralph Northam (D) said, if a baby is born alive during a botched abortion, “I can tell you exactly what would happen. The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother” about the child’s future.

His comment was not an outlier. In 2013, a lobbyist representing the Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates, Alisa Lapolt Snow, testified before the Florida House of Representatives that even if a baby is alive, breathing on a table and moving, “We believe that any decision that’s made” about administering treatment to the newborn “should be left up to the woman, her family, and the physician. … That decision should be between the patient and the health care provider.”

Whistleblowers have noted abortionists regularly allowed children to be born alive, then die by neglect. Jill Stanek, who served as a nurse at Christ Hospital in the Chicago area, testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2020:

“In the event a baby was aborted alive, he or she received no medical assessments or care but was only given what my hospital called ‘comfort care’ — made comfortable, as Governor Northam indicated. One night, a nursing co-worker was transporting a baby who had been aborted because he had Down syndrome to our Soiled Utility Room to die – because that’s where survivors were taken. I could not bear the thought of this suffering child dying alone, so I rocked him for the 45 minutes that he lived. He was 21 to 22 weeks old, weighed about 1/2 pound, and was about the size of my hand.”

Some accounts are more gruesome. Multiple employees accused “Texas Gosnell” abortionist Douglas Karpen of twisting the heads off live babies after birth.

Yet the Democratic ticket has not lifted a finger to require infant lives be saved. In 2019, then-Senator Harris voted against the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which requires abortionists to provide potentially lifesaving care to babies born during botched abortions. There is no federal requirement to provide medical care to an infant born during an abortion. As governor of Minnesota, vice presidential candidate Tim Walz signed a bill which removed a requirement that abortionists “preserve the life and health of the born alive infant.”

Although only eight states currently require that the data be reported, official statistics show 277 babies were born alive during abortions. Pro-life advocates Gianna Jessen and Melissa Ohden survived botched abortions.

Only eight states require abortionists to report infants born alive during a botched abortion (Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Texas.). Two states — Tim Walz’s Minnesota and Gretchen Whitmer’s Michigan — repealed those requirements. Abortionists are not known as for being conscientious about reporting their own botched abortions.

Numerous Democratic lawmakers have introduced bills to legalize “perinatal death,” which an official analysis confirmed would bring about the “unintended” legalization of infanticide.

Summing up the evidence, Family Research Council’s Mary Szoch said that the Democratic Party’s “attack on life begins at fertilization, but it continues throughout the entirety of pregnancy and does not even stop after the baby is born. Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz have actively worked to ensure that babies born alive following abortions do not receive the help that they desperately need.”

3. Pro-life protections prevent miscarriage care?

Harris repeated the lie that state pro-life protections prevent doctors from treating women suffering from miscarriages. Harris said she had spoken to women “being denied care in an emergency room, because the health care providers are afraid they might go to jail.”

No pro-life law in the nation prohibits doctors from caring for miscarriages. Even Project 2025, which Harris repeatedly invoked as extreme, states, “Miscarriage management or standard ectopic pregnancy treatments should never be conflated with abortion.” Pro-life advocates blame confusion created by the abortion industry with causing doctors to deny women treatment. To help women’s health, the abortion industry should stop promoting that lie, they say.

4. Donald Trump would have the government monitor pregnancies and miscarriages?

Harris asserted that Trump would preside over the installation of a Big Brother-style surveillance of every pregnancy in America. “In his Project 2025 there would be a national abortion — a monitor that would be monitoring your pregnancies, your miscarriages,” Harris said, without any moderator’s intervention.

This statement had been repeated at the Democratic National Convention, and the Harris-Walz campaign has claimed in TV spots that Trump has endorsed “requiring the government to monitor women’s pregnancies.”

But Project 2025 — which is not Trump’s platform — contains no such provision. Presumably, Harris is wrenching out of context its reasonable proposal that states report abortion statistics accurately. The Biden administration’s most recent annual report on abortion — known as the Abortion Surveillance — excludes statistics from four states including the most populous state: California, Maryland, New Hampshire, and New Jersey. Project 2025 calls on the federal government “to ensure that every state reports exactly how many abortions take place within its borders, at what gestational age of the child, for what reason, the mother’s state of residence, and by what method.” The government would “ensure that [state] statistics are separated by category: spontaneous miscarriage; treatments that incidentally result in the death of a child (such as chemotherapy); stillbirths; and induced abortion.” That’s a far cry from a “government monitor” peeping in on women’s ultrasounds.

Even legacy media fact-checkers have denied this claim. FactCheck.org noted curtly, “Trump has not made such a proposal.” Reuters reported, “Fact Check: Project 2025 did not propose a ‘period passport’ for women.” Harris’s allegation “significantly overstates the nature of the monitoring called for in Project 2025,” reports USA Today.

5. National abortion ban?

“If Donald Trump were to be re-elected, he will sign a national abortion ban,” claimed Harris. Trump removed the Republican Party platform’s historic commitment to passing a Human Life Amendment, aspirational as it was, and has repeatedly said he opposes any further national legislation on the issue. “It’s the vote of the people now,” Trump said at the debate.

6. Trump called for a ‘bloodbath’?

In one of the more egregious statements allowed to slip into public consciousness without any pushback, Harris falsely asserted that “Donald Trump the candidate has said in this election there will be a bloodbath, if the outcome of this election is not to his liking.”

Trump used the economic term “bloodbath” while contrasting his tariff policy with the Biden-Harris administration’s pro-China electric vehicle policy during a March rally near Dayton, Ohio. “We’re going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line, and you’re not going to be able to sell those cars if I get elected. Now if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole” industry, he said. As this author noted at The Washington Stand:

“The term ‘bloodbath’ is regularly used in the financial sector to describe an industrial contraction. The Merriam-Webster dictionary lists one of the definitions of ‘bloodbath’ as ‘a major economic disaster.’ … Democratic campaign operatives pounced on Trump’s use of the term ‘bloodbath’ to insinuate he wanted to foment a blood-drenched revolution if he lost the election. … The [then-]Biden campaign promptly wrenched the president’s remarks out of context to create a digital campaign ad titled ‘Bloodbath,’ which recycles other erroneous statements, such as falsely claiming Trump praised rioters at the Charlottesville and January 6 D.C. riots.”

ABC News moderators let the Democrat’s baseless allegation of revolutionary violence go unchecked.

7. Are Americans better off today than they were four years ago?

Muir opened the debate by asking Harris, “Do you believe Americans are better off than they were four years ago?”

Harris responded, “So, I was raised as a middle-class kid” and spoke for two minutes about her economic plans, ignoring the question completely. Unlike numerous questions in which the moderators demanded an answer of President Trump, Muir asked no follow-up of Harris.

Harris boasts of being the tie-breaking votes for the American Rescue Plan and the Inflation Reduction Act, which economists credit with setting off historically high inflation rates that exceeded 9%. The cost of a gallon of gasoline more than doubled during the Biden-Harris administration and is still $1.29 higher than the day President Trump left office. Staples such as groceries have risen nearly 20%, and new houses have more than doubled on her watch.

8. Project 2025 is Donald Trump’s plan?

Harris continually attempted to tie Trump to Project 2025, a now-inactive project of The Heritage Foundation, which the former president has repeatedly disparaged.

Trump replied, “I have nothing to do with Project 2025,” referring to its commonsense conservative proposals as “out there.”

“I haven’t read it. I don’t want to read it,” he added.

The plan’s authors have acknowledged Trump had nothing to do with their conservative vision for the next four years. “Project 2025 is not affiliated with any candidate, and no candidate was involved with the drafting of the Mandate for Leadership, which was published by Heritage in April 2023,” Noah Weinrich, a spokesperson for Project 2025, told CNN.

9. Trump praised neo-Nazis and white supremacists?

Kamala Harris repeated misinformation that, as president, Donald Trump praised neo-Nazis and white supremacists at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. “Let’s remember Charlottesville, where there was a mob of people carrying tiki torches, spewing anti-Semitic hate, and what did the president then at the time say? There were ‘fine people’ on each side,” Harris claimed.

In reality, Trump said, “You had some very bad people in that group. But you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides.” But Trump promptly stated, “And I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists, okay? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly. … There were people protesting very quietly the taking down of the statue of Robert E. Lee. … They had some rough, bad people — Neo-Nazis, white nationalists.”

“You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name,” because of Lee’s role as military leader of the Confederacy. But many Founding Fathers were also slaveowners. “Are we gonna take down statues of George Washington? How about Thomas Jefferson?” he asked. “You’re changing history. You’re changing culture.” Trump also pointed out the presence of Antifa protesters there to cheer on the tearing down of America’s historical monuments, who — unlike those opposed to tearing down U.S. history, did not have a permit to meet. “Now, in the other group also, you had some fine people, but you also had troublemakers, and you see them come with the black outfits, and with the helmets, and the baseball bats. You got a lot of bad people in the other group, too.”

Even Snopes.com ran an article titled, “No, Trump Did Not Call Neo-Nazis and White Supremacists ‘Very Fine People.’”

10. Trump is above the law?

Harris attempted to raise fears that President Trump would break the law with impunity in a second term. “The United States Supreme Court recently ruled that the former president would essentially be immune from any misconduct if he were to enter the White House again,” said Harris, while claiming Trump would weaponize government against his political enemies in a second term.

“The [p]resident enjoys no immunity for his unofficial acts, and not everything the [p]resident does is official,” stated the court ruling, written by Chief Justice John Roberts. “The [p]resident is not above the law.”

Enemy Propaganda Exposed: Noam Chomsky Details What Must Happen To Dissenting Voices

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

Please revisit the post about the John Campbell video we put up 2 days ago. New thoughts and important new information is available that should influence how we may decide to act on that information.

Secondly, yesterday we worked on the site a bit. There was no landing page, so many of you may have felt there was an issue. It was simply some work being done on the site which we felt would take much less time than it did. Sorry for any concern that may have generated. For the moment, we can assure you everything is A -OK thank you all for staying with us.

1. Enemy propaganda org. CTV ‘News’ takes Canadian authoritarianism to near British standards.

WATCH: Canadian MP, ‘Anyone against lockdowns, mass immigration & trans rights is a Russian operative.

Please watch carefully. Anything counter narrative is now “Russian Propaganda” and any thing Russian must be both wrong, and evil. This is startlingly Orwellian. We have to use the same method and quality of thought on this that we would on anything else. We cannot trust the peer-review process to mean a thing is true, or even as presented. We cannot trust that anything from Goldstein Trump Russia is wrong and intends to hurt. Even though a great deal of Russian disinformation is in fact being deployed across the West to disrupt, divide and weaken our civilization. This is a fact and it is developed and sophisticated. But our own governments are also doing the same to us in order to remove our individual rights. The Trudeau gov’r did in fact use the military and other methods to wage propaganda warfare against Canadians to force the vaxx and covid narratives on us and still are, as well as launching new ones all the time.

2. The main line of effort against us all remains the mass immigration. The rest, true or not, pales in comparison to the threat this real and concurrent line of operation against us represents to us all.

3. At some point we must do a deeper dive on this, Trudeau is passing bills that move us from a nation state of individual rights to a communist collectivist state with an all powerful government bill by bill faster than we can keep up.

Link to bill:

https://www.parl.ca/legisinfo/en/bill/44-1/c-293

Full text of Tweet:

New Canadian Pandemic Act has the potential to infringe on civil liberties, violate individuals’ health privacy, grant broad powers to the Minister of Health, and much more.

Bill C-293, the Pandemic Prevention and Preparedness Act, which has passed its first reading before the Senate, aims to establish robust measures to mitigate future pandemics. However, a closer look reveals several concerns related to government overreach, health privacy, possible violations of civil liberties, and unclear priorities.

One of the primary issues is the bill’s establishment and interlinking of surveillance systems for infectious diseases, both domestically and internationally. The extensive data collection proposed—especially with international linkages involving organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE)—raises significant privacy concerns. This could lead to widespread monitoring of citizens’ health data, potentially without their explicit consent.

The legislation also mandates collaboration between the federal government, provincial governments, and Indigenous communities to collect and share health data. This requirement may create data privacy, security, and misuse concerns.

Another troubling aspect is the bill’s broad discretion granted to the Minister of Health and other relevant officials. They are empowered to set pandemic preparedness standards and make far-reaching decisions about public health responses, surveillance, and commercial regulations. The absence of thorough oversight or parliamentary approval for such decisions raises concerns about transparency and accountability, potentially allowing political interests to take precedence over public welfare.

Furthermore, the bill compels the Minister of Health and other officials to “leverage international expertise” by adopting internationally developed pandemic prevention metrics. This could result in Canada aligning with global standards that don’t necessarily reflect its domestic needs, limiting the country’s ability to make independent public health decisions.

In terms of economic impact, the bill targets commercial activities that “disproportionately contribute to pandemic risk,” such as industrial animal agriculture. However, the lack of clarity around what constitutes “disproportionate” could lead to arbitrary decisions, harming industries without solid scientific evidence. This vagueness could spark significant economic disruptions and legal disputes over the scope of such regulations.

The bill’s emphasis on the One Health approach—integrating human, animal, plant, and ecosystem health—may also be problematic. While holistic health is important, this broad approach could lead to sweeping environmental regulations under the guise of pandemic prevention, potentially affecting sectors like farming, forestry, and urban development without clear justifications related to pandemics.

Lastly, the bill allocates substantial resources to global health equity initiatives, raising concerns that domestic resources could be diverted to international efforts.

In summary, while Bill C-293 seeks to enhance pandemic preparedness, its broad language, expanded surveillance powers, and potential for economic disruption pose significant risks. The bill’s lack of transparency and vague definitions could lead to actions that undermine civil liberties, disrupt key industries, and prioritize global interests over Canada’s own.

There is another authoritarian bill we haven’t had time to deal with where the Trudopians plan to make ALL off label use of prescription meds, which I am told is the majority of prescriptions, illegal. Searching for it, I am coming up empty at the moment. So Maybe that isn’t a thing. If I find it, I’ll post it.

4. Whatever you think of this guy and what he says, its a zero in terms of awfulness compared to what Islamic preachers say about all of us all day every day. Frankly, this is kinda refreshing at this point.

One way or another this seems to be the rule we all accept, consciously or unconsciously, conditioned into this concept. The words in the meme below are taken from the sermon of a Canadian imam VERBATIM.

5. This one was left in the comments by Watchmen. It felt like a Christmas present come early.

Noam Chomsky, the guy the left likes to claim is the smartest guy in the world or something, the guy who wrote a book that became a documentary allegedly on freedom of speech called, “Manufacturing Consent” but in reality was only critical of speech that seemed right oriented. At the time he wrote that book he was an active Prof at a US university and no where does he mention University speech codes, which, at the time, was the biggest most obvious restrictions on what could and could not be said in the US of A, and he never mentioned them once, even though present at his own university, from my recollection of the film version of his book.

So here he is talking about how skepticism about Global Warming and the mRNA vaxx which “has to be dealt with and overcome, and very decisively and without delay…”

You know, this doesn’t sound a lot like someone who is a big freedom of speech guy. It sounds like an advocate for a communist collectivist government ready to use force to make sure everyone has right think. Or am I misreading him.

The good news is, you get to hear that within the first 3 minutes in case you fear having to endure the whole 15 of this clip.

Thank you all for checking out this site.

Speaking of Chomsky’s real views on freedom of speech, Tony Blair explains how none of us should have any except purveyors of government narratives, or the wizards of “truth”. This interview is from 3 days ago, and is summarized here.

CBS Journalist in Gaza Tied to Terror, Investigation Finds

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

News producer for CBS praised terrorists, had contacts with terrorists as a member of the Gaza City municipality council.

A CBS News journalist in Gaza praised terrorists at an official event of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and had contacts with terrorists as a member of the Gaza City municipality council, an HonestReporting investigation revealed.

Marwan al-Ghoul has been working as a CBS News producer in Gaza for more than two decades, and his affiliation with a proscribed terror group, as well as his official public role in the Hamas-ruled Strip, raise alarming questions regarding the network’s journalistic standards.

Here are the details of what HonestReporting has discovered, based on Arabic media reports and Al-Ghoul’s Facebook page. It is the latest in a series of exposes unmasking Gaza’s biased reporters.

PFLP Links

In 2018, Al-Ghoul was among the speakers at an official PFLP event commemorating one of the prominent members of the terror group who was also Al-Ghoul’s relative.

According to the PFLP website, Al-Ghoul spoke on behalf of the family, which “expressed their gratitude to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and their esteemed comrades everywhere in the Palestinian land . . . for their . . . commitment to continue the struggle.”

Al-Ghoul praised the group’s terrorists, emphasizing his relative’s dedication to “maintaining the noble national values established by the leading martyrs, such as Al-Hakim, Abu Ali Mustafa, and Wadie Haddad, and those who followed their path of struggle and martyrdom.”

The PFLP is a proscribed terror group whose members were involved in deadly attacks against Israelis, including suicide bombings, stabbings and shootings.

The fact that Al-Ghoul was invited to address an official event of the group suggests his (and his family’s) affiliation with it is deep. The effect such an affiliation might have on his “journalistic” work cannot be underestimated.

Official Role

Al-Ghoul also cozied up with the terror group’s officials as a member of the Gaza City municipality council.

In 2022, a news report showed him smiling next to Gaza City mayor Yahya Sarraj as they hosted a PFLP delegation to discuss “issues of concern to citizens and ways of cooperating.”

What could possibly be discussed in such a meeting? How to better embed terrorists amid the civilian population?

That would not be far-fetched to assume, considering that back in 2022, the IDF revealed that an Islamic Jihad rocket was launched from a location owned by the Gaza City municipality. It misfired and killed two Palestinians.

Referring to the Gaza City mayor, the IDF spokesperson’s unit said at the time that “Sarraj chose to take care of the terrorist organization Islamic Jihad more than the residents of the city he heads, and he abused public space that belongs to the residents of the city for terror. This is how he harmed his citizens directly.”

According to an announcement on his Facebook page, Al-Ghoul resigned from his membership in the city council in November 2022. It’s not clear how long he served, why he resigned, whether he got paid to do the job, and if so by whom.

But according to a Fatah official quoted by WAFA, Gaza municipal council members are appointed by Hamas. And according to Reuters, Hamas is the body in charge of paying public sector workers.

The Palestinian Authority’s Ministry of Local Government may be in charge on paper, but de-facto, Hamas runs the show.

In any case, AL-Ghoul’s profile photo still appears on the official website of the Gaza city municipality, with a bio that presents him as a “media professional working with several Arab and international channels,” as well as a “member of the Municipal Council.”

What’s clear is that such a public role, in an enclave ruled by terrorists and where terrorists are hosted by the mayor, cannot be done without problematic ties. Especially for a journalist who needs to cover political and civilian issues objectively.

Celebrated Journalist

None of that seemed to bother CBS News, which either turned a blind eye to Al-Ghoul’s activities, or had no idea about them.

The network relied heavily on his work at the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war and praised his “journalism.”

Unsurprisingly, Al-Ghoul’s reports from Gaza are typical — they include destruction and victims, not Hamas terrorists.

Perhaps this is because he prayed for the “victory” of these terrorists in a Facebook post on October 7, as they massacred Israeli women and children:

And it might also be because, as the head of the Mayadeen media Group, Al-Ghoul had long lasting ties with the Hamas-run Government Media Office. In 2008, he delivered a panel in a workshop organized by the office on “the freedom of journalistic work under the Israeli occupation” (although Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005.)

Al-Ghoul is not a journalist. Like many other Gaza “reporters” who work for respected Western media outlets, he is a propagandist, at best, or a terror collaborator, at worst.

CBS News should not celebrate his work, but be ashamed of it.
