POLITICAL CORRECTNESS: The Scourge Of Our Times

/in , , , , , , /by

Does anyone know of the origins of Political Correctness?  Who originally developed it and what was its purpose?

I looked it up.  It was developed at the Institute for Social Research in Frankfurt, Germany, which was founded in 1923 and came to be known as the “Frankfurt School”.  It was a group of thinkers who pulled together to find a solution to the biggest problem facing the implementers of communism in Russia.

The problem?  Why wasn’t communism spreading?  The “answer”?  Because Western Civilization was in its way.  What was the problem with Western Civilization?  Its belief in the individual – that an individual could develop a valid idea.  At the root of communism was the theory that all valid ideas come from the effect of the social group of the masses.  The individual is nothing.  And they believed that the only way for communism to advance was to help (or force, if necessary) Western Civilization to destroy itself.  How to do that?  Undermine its foundations by chipping away at the rights of those annoying individuals.

One way to do that?  Change their speech and thought patterns by spreading the idea that vocalizing your beliefs is disrespectful of others and must be avoided to make up for past inequities and injustices.  And call it something that sounds positive:  “Political Correctness.”

Inspired by the brand new communist technique, Mao, in the 1930s, wrote an article on the “correct” handling of contradictions among the people.  “Sensitive training” – sound familiar? – and speech codes were born.

After Hitler, in 1935, the Frankfurt School moved to New York City where they continued their work by translating Marxism from economic to cultural terms by using Sigmund Freud’s psychological conditioning mechanisms to get Americans to buy into Political Correctness.  In 1941, they moved to California to spread their wings.

But Political Correctness remains just what it was intended to be: a sophisticated and dangerous form of censorship and oppression imposed upon the citizenry with the ultimate goal of manipulating, brainwashing and destroying our society.

My first conscious exposure to Political Correctness was in 1959 – the first year of Castro’s revolution in Cuba – while attending an indoctrination session at a neighborhood elementary school in Havana.  There I learned for the first time of the claimed superiority of life in the Soviet Union vs. the U.S.  There I also learned that the word “compañero” (filtered version of the communist “comrade” – Fidel was denying his communist preferences) was the correct way to refer to the other members of the new Cuban society-in-the-making.

Mr., Mrs. or Miss was no longer acceptable, and their further use could reveal that you were not a Fidelista.  Since repression and violations of human rights came roaring in right behind Castro’s sweep down from the mountains in 1959, objection or rejection of Fidel Castro’s revolution would (still will) land you in a lot of trouble or you could easily lose your life in those summary executions at La Cabaña prison under the direction of Che Guevara.

But don’t worry about Che.  Che was later transformed and cleansed by the masters of Political Correctness.  His likeness became a revered icon of the far-left with T-shirts and posters still adorning the campuses of America.  The same techniques were used to clean today’s “hero” (even if he was convicted of killing a cop due to overwhelming evidence), Mumia Abu-Jamal.

And under the pervasive guidance of Political Correctness that took hold from elementary school to university, from the media to the arts, from the country fields to factories and offices, Cubans learned to say what it was safe to say.  Always in line with the overpowering state.  Always following the dictums of the only political party left: the Communist Party.  The self-censorship resulting from Political Correctness easily trampled freedom of speech.  Political Correctness has succeeded in Cuba by creating a uniform political discourse that has lasted for 43 years.

Political Correctness has given the state (Castro) complete control of speech.  That is the main reason why the U.S. media cannot extract the truth of what Cubans really feel when they interview regular citizens and deceptively present their comments as valid to the American public.  The same was true in the former Soviet Union and the former satellite countries.  The same continues in the remaining communist world.

It’s nothing new.  The U.S. media must know that, so, why don’t they openly report that fact in stead of misleading the public?  Perhaps that is the reason why the American people are so uneducated about the Cuban tragedy and acted regrettably during the Elian Gonzalez affair.

With profound dismay, I have seen how the scourge of Political Correctness has taken hold in the U.S.  It is very well entrenched in our educational system, at scientific, religious and community levels, the media, the workplace and even our government.

It is changing the American society from within and the citizens of this nation are increasingly censoring themselves and losing their freedom of speech out of fear of Political Correctness repression.  It is the nature of the Western Civilization to be civilized – respectful of others and concerned to correct injustices.  We don’t need Political Correctness to make us think we are not civilized on our own and restrict our thoughts and words.

In December 2001, in Kensington, Maryland, an annual firefighters’ Santa Claus festivity to light the Christmas tree was objected to by two families.  The City Council, in the name of Political Correctness, voted to ban Santa from the parade.  Fortunately, due to citizen outcry, the decision was reversed at the end and many people protested by dressing up as Santa.

Logically and respectfully, how can one person’s benign icon be objectionable to the point of banishment?  Offer to add other people’s icons.  Make it a broader celebration.  That’s the Perfectly Correct American way.

The rulers of Political Correctness reach absurd levels when they even refer to the betrayal of America by the spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg – executed in 1953 – as “non-traditional patriotism”!

We see shameful situations created in our schools and universities in America that have fallen prey to Political Correctness.  Some professors, students and publications are being attacked for expressing a point of view that differs from that imposed by a fanatical far-left under the guise of Political Correctness.

In the educational and work place, we see that “diversity” has degenerated into reverse discrimination, where often the less qualified are admitted and the incompetent cannot be fired.  We have seen characters like Rev. Jesse Jackson shamelessly blackmailing and threatening to boycott entire corporations if they don’t hire those selected by him or simply make “donations” to his organizations.

Our Constitution requires the separation of church and state, which has always discouraged our public education system from teaching religion.  However, in December 2001, while Christmas cards, symbols and decorations were being objected to for the first time in American public schools in Georgia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Minnesota and Oregon, in an elementary school in Texas, a girl was allowed to give to her classmates an overview and show a video about her Muslim religion.

And in January 2002, a public middle school in San Luis Obispo in California, had its students pretend to be warriors fighting for Islam.  Another school near Oakland, California also encouraged 125 seventh grade students to dress up in Muslim robes for a three-week course on Islam.  This arbitrary double standard was applied in the name of Political Correctness following the September 11, 2001 attacks.

According to Ellen Sorokin’s No Founding Fathers? published by The Washington Times on its front page on January 28, 2002, even our Founding Fathers have fallen victim of the travesty.  The article says of the New Jersey Department of Education’s history standards, “The latest revisions to the state standards have disappointed educators across the country, who said the board’s exclusion of the Founding Fathers’ names is ‘Political Correctness at the end of the nth degree.’”

Sorokin points out that “the standards specifically note that students should identify slavery, the Holocaust and modern Iraq as examples ‘in which people have behave in cruel and inhumane ways.’”  However, conveniently, communism is absent.

In another article by Sorokin published by The Washington Times on March 10, pg. A2, Report blames anti-Americanism on college teachers, she presents two examples of upcoming courses for next spring and fall.  They are, “’The Sexuality of Terrorism’ at University of California at Hayward; and ‘Terrorism and the Politics of Knowledge’ at UCLA, a class that, according to its course description, examines ‘America’s record of imperialistic adventurism.’”

Recently, a historic photograph of the New York firefighters rising the American flag over the ruins of the World Trade Center was going to be made into a sculpture as a memorial.  But history’s revisionists used Political Correctness to dictate that other minority faces replace some of the faces in the historical photograph!  Fortunately, in the end that didn’t fly either due to the outcry of firefighters and the public.

For people with a background and firsthand experience living inside a totalitarian communist society it is obvious the tilt and the goal of the dictators of Political Correctness in America.  The beneficiaries in the end will be the fanatic believers in the totalitarian state, who, in spite of the dismal failure of communism and the 100 million people exterminated pursuing that criminal system, have not given up.

Political or religious fanatics, as demonstrated by the September 11, 2001 attacks, and the subsequent war in Afghanistan, are extremely dangerous in today’s world.

All citizens who cherish liberty must reject the scourge of Political Correctness.  Freedom of speech must be preserved in America if we are to continue to be free.

Let’s say it: Castro is not a “president” as the U.S. media’s Political Correctness calls him.  Castro has not been democratically elected to anything in Cuba.  The correct word to define him is: tyrant.  He is not just a “leader” as the U.S. media also calls him.  He is more of a criminal Mafioso-type character.

Why criminal?  Because he has caused the death of more than 100,000 Cubans.  Thousands have died through his supported guerillas in Central and South America.  Thousands of blacks were killed by Castro’s soldiers in Africa.  Castro in the 1980s introduced the use of bacteriological weapons to kill blacks in Angola.  How many thousands have died in America as a result of his drug-trafficking into the U.S.?  How many thousands have died all over the world due to terrorists trained in Castro’s Cuba?

Former Soviet colonel Ken Alibek, who defected to America, was once in charge of the Soviet Union’s production of biological weapons.  In Alibek’s 1999 book, Biohazard, he reveals that with the help of the Soviet Union, Cuba, in the 1980s, created laboratories to produce chemical and bacteriological weapons of mass destruction – just 90 miles from U.S. shores.  The information of Castro’s involvement with bacteriological weapons comes also from various independent sources.  We must not forget either that Cuba is in the U.S. State Department’s list of terrorist nations.

Why Mafioso?  Well, Castro is like an untouchable godfather, surrounded by bodyguards and thugs and a private army of about 40,000 soldiers for his personal protection (roughly the size of the entire army of Cuba prior to 1959).  He stole foreign and national properties in Cuba.  He has become one of the richest men in the world according to Forbes Magazine.  He has created a despotic and corrupt elite to exploit the Cuban people and keep himself in power.  He has made the Cuban people hostages and slaves of his corrupt regime.

The U.S. media does not call Al Capone “the former leader” of the Italian Mafia.  Why the double standard with Fidel and other far-left regimes?  The answer can be traced to where the sympathies lie inside the elite dictating Political Correctness in America.

It’s one thing is to be educated, considerate and polite, and have good manners, and another is to be forced to self-censor and to say things that are totally incorrect in order to comply with the arbitrary dictums of a deceiving and fanatical far-left agenda.  Let’s preserve our freedom and say NO to the scourge of Political Correctness.

Princeton Offers Black Lives Mater Course Taught by Critical Race Theory Professor

/in , , , /by

Princeton University reportedly is offering a course on Black Lives Matter (BLM) taught by a professor with a self-declared “commitment” to the racist ideology Critical Race Theory, and featuring readings by former Communist Party USA (CPUSA) leader Angela Davis.

A Fall 2021 class titled “#BlackLivesMatter” describes the domestic terror movement and the course as “committed to resisting, unveiling, and undoing histories of state sanctioned violence against Black and Brown bodies.” Unsurprisingly, it will also offer “a critical examination of the prison industrial complex, police brutality, urban poverty, and white supremacy in the US.”

One assigned reading will be Freedom is a Constant Struggle by avowed Marxist Angela Davis, who came to prominence in the 1960s as a leader of the CPUSA and the second black woman to make the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted List, for her role in a courtroom shootout that resulted in the death of Judge Harold Haley.

The Princeton course will be taught by professor Hanna Garth, who explains on her personal website, “All of my research, teaching, and mentoring is designed around my commitment to feminist methodologies and critical race theory.” Garth’s other interests predictably include “Inequality,” “Race and Racism,” “Social Justice,” and “Activism.”

Our so-called institutions of higher learning are now nothing more than social activism indoctrination mills, guided by Marxist revolutionaries whose end game is, as the Manchurian president Barack Obama put it, the “fundamental transformation” of the United States.

Black Lives Matter (BLM)

129 Known Connections

Quantifying BLM’s Responsibility for the Violence and Riots of 2020

A September 2020 Princeton study, sympathetic to the demonstrators, revealed that in the first three months of the unrest which followed the death of George Floyd in May, there had been 570 violent protests in 220 locations. Riots had taken place in 48 of the 50 largest American cities, and 74 of the top 100. There were also “peaceful protests” in some 2,400 separate locations nationwide, according to the Princeton study. But those protests advanced precisely the same Black Lives Matter indictment of America’s allegedly ubiquitous racism, as did the riots. Thus, those “peaceful protests” played a major role in enabling the riots and promoting the notion that the rioters’ grievances were well-founded.

In a separate September 2020 report, the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED), a nonprofit organization that tracks conflict in every part of the world, indicated that BLM actions had taken place in more than 2,400 locations in all 50 U.S. states and Washington, D.C.  Of the 12,045 U.S. protests that were held in those locations between May 26 and August 22:

  • 1,143 protests — i.e., 9.5 percent — involved violence of some sort, such as looting, armed attacks, arson, the launching of projectiles, clashes with police, the use of pepper spray, etc. Of these violent incidents, 84 percent involved BLM.
  • 633 protests — i.e., 5.3 percent — were coded as full-blown riots, and 88 percent of these were known to involve BLM activists. But data for 51 of those 633 riots lacked information about affiliations that the participants may have had with any particular group, like BLM. So if we look only at the 582 riots for which information about the participants’ group affiliations is available, we find that BLM activists were involved in 95 percent of those incidents.

Moreover, there were at least 47 civilian fatalities in the BLM riots.

FLORIDA: Governor DeSantis Threatens Salaries of School Officials Who Enforce Mask Mandates

/in , , , , , /by

Teachers unions present a grave public health threat to our children.

Like Trump, DeSantis shows us what is possible in the cause of freedom.

This is what real leadership in a free society looks like.

Do masks reduce Covid transmission in children? Believe it or not, we could find only a single retrospective study on the question, and its results were inconclusive. Yet two weeks ago the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sternly decreed that 56 million U.S. children and adolescents, vaccinated or not, should cover their faces regardless of the prevalence of infection in their community. Authorities in many places took the cue to impose mandates in schools and elsewhere, on the theory that masks can’t do any harm.

That isn’t true. Some children are fine wearing a mask, but others struggle. Those who have myopia can have difficulty seeing because the mask fogs their glasses. (This has long been a problem for medical students in the operating room.) Masks can cause severe acne and other skin problems. The discomfort of a mask distracts some children from learning. By increasing airway resistance during exhalation, masks can lead to increased levels of carbon dioxide in the blood. And masks can be vectors for pathogens if they become moist or are used for too long.

In March, Ireland’s Department of Health announced that it won’t require masks in schools because they “may exacerbate anxiety or breathing difficulties for some students.” Some children compensate for such difficulties by breathing through their mouths. Chronic and prolonged mouth breathing can alter facial development. It is well-documented that children who mouth-breathe because adenoids block their nasal airways can develop a mouth deformity and elongated face.

The possible psychological harm of widespread masking is an even greater worry. Facial expressions are integral to human connection, particularly for young children, who are only learning how to signal fear, confusion and happiness. Covering a child’s face mutes these nonverbal forms of communication and can result in robotic and emotionless interactions, anxiety and depression. Seeing people speak is a building block of phonetic development. It is especially important for children with disabilities such as hearing impairment.

The adverse developmental effects of requiring masks for a few weeks are probably minor. We can’t say that with any confidence when the practice stretches on for months or years…………..

Florida Governor DeSantis threatens salaries of school officials who enforce mask mandates

Governor’s office says salaries of school officials who violate order prohibiting mask mandates could face ‘financial consequences.’

By: Israel National News, Aug 10 , 2021:

The office of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Tuesday threatened that the salaries of school board members and superintendents could be withheld for violating the governor’s executive order prohibiting mask mandates.

In a statement to CBS4, the governor’s office said that school officials who force students to wear masks could be subject to “financial consequences.”

“With respect to enforcing any financial consequences for noncompliance of state law regarding these rules and ultimately the rights of parents to make decisions about their children’s education and health care decisions, it would be the goal of the State Board of Education to narrowly tailor any financial consequences to the offense committed. For example, the State Board of Education could move to withhold the salary of the district superintendent or school board members, as a narrowly tailored means to address the decision-makers who led to the violation of law.

“Education funding is intended to benefit students first and foremost, not systems,” the statement added. “The Governor’s priorities are protecting parents’ rights and ensuring that every student has access to a high-quality education that meets their unique needs.”

DeSantis’ ban on mask mandates in schools, signed on July 31, explains, among other reasons, that “forcing students to wear masks lacks a well-grounded scientific justification”; “masking children may lead to negative health and societal ramifications”; “children are at low risk of contracting a serious illness due to COVID-19 and do not play a significant role in the spread of the virus”; “forcing children to wear masks could inhibit breathing”; and “there is no statistically-significant evidence to suggest that countries with mask requirements have fared any better than those without mask requirements during the 2020-2021 school year.”

Basheer Jones Hates America. He Wants to Be Mayor of Cleveland.

/in , , , , , /by

My latest in PJ Media:

Basheer Jones is a Cleveland city councilman and a candidate for mayor of Cleveland in the upcoming September 14 primary election. He is also unusually forthright, even for a twenty-first-century Democratic politician, about his contempt for the land in which he seeks elected office.

Jones is a devout, observant Muslim, and already, according to CleveScene, his “personal religious beliefs and organizational ties have become linked with his campaign. Jones made a number of questionable campaign expenditures in 2020 to international Muslim organizations and figures, including expenses likely related to his December travels in Egypt and the sponsorship of a Muslim orphanage there and a Quranic school in Senegal.”

What’s more, “a recent controversial video shows Jones saying, ‘women are not our leaders.’” Jones, like Muslim spokesmen all over the Western world when confronted with statements that are politically inconvenient, insists that his words were “taken out of context.”

But that is not remotely the worst of it. On Sunday, the RAIR Foundation published an exposé on Jones that contained audio of Jones speaking on January 3, 2016, and making fun of Muslim immigrants who were thankful to be in the United States, and recited the Pledge of Allegiance.

“Before 9/11,” Jones asserts, “our people, our brothers and sisters from the immigrant communities, like, ‘America is a great place. Oh, it’s the land of the free, home of the brave.’ You’d see the imams, big imams, on the stage, singin’, you know.” Here the crowd starts to laugh softly; Jones chuckles a bit along with them and continues: “‘I pledge allegiance to the flag,’ you know, ‘this is the greatest place in the world.’ And we were tellin’ you, ‘Ah, no it’s not. Ah, we know about this place. This place, we know, we know that guy, somethin’ about him.’ And then 9/11 hit. Everybody started comin’ to us. ‘Brothers, please, come, come march with us, stand –’ Brother, we been tellin’ you, that they’ll change on you just like that, man.”’

Jones was apparently referring to American authorities supposedly turning on Muslim communities after 9/11 and subjecting them to “Islamophobic” counter-terror measures. In any case, his contempt for the grateful immigrants, and I-told-you-so implication that he had somehow been vindicated after 9/11, when America proved to be not so great a place after all, ought to have raised eyebrows among those who backed Jones for Cleveland City Council and are now supporting his mayoral ambitions.

There is no indication, however, that anyone was concerned in the slightest with their candidate’s anti-Americanism. We are, after all, talking about the Democratic Party. This is the party that stood by and did nothing when Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Kabul) tweeted: “We must have the same level of accountability and justice for all victims of crimes against humanity. We have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the U.S., Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban. I asked [Secretary of State Antony Blinken] where people are supposed to go for justice.”

There is more. Read the rest here.

AN AMERICAN STORY: Tennessee Girl Discards Christianity, Becomes Climate Change Activist, Joins ISIS

/in , , , , , /by

My latest in PJ Media:

Ariel Bradley wasn’t even the only Islamic jihadi from Chattanooga, Tennessee. On July 17, 2015, a fellow resident of the Chattanooga suburb of Hixson, Mohammad Abdulazeez, murdered four Marines at a Navy base in Chattanooga. This delighted Bradley, who wrote: “Gifted this morning not only with Eid but w/ the news of a brother puttin fear n the heart of kufar [non-believers] n the city of my birth. Alhamdullilah [thanks be to Allah].” By that time, Bradley was far from Chattanooga; she was living in the domains of the Islamic State (ISIS) in Syria, and was calling herself Umm Aminah, that is, Aminah’s mother, after her two-year-old daughter, Aminah Mohamad. Six years later, Ariel Bradley is dead, and Aminah is being brought back to a United States that is even more riven now by the divisions and confusions that drove her mother’s life so wildly off course than it was when her mother made her fateful choices.

Ariel Bradley grew up in Chattanooga as a member of the Pentecostal Church of God, and according to a man with whom she shared a home much later, her parents zealously endeavored to “keep her away from materials that would make her question Christianity,” even to the point of not teaching her to read until she was almost a teenager. Not unexpectedly, Ariel rebelled, running away from home when she was 15 or 16. Like so many Americans today, she ended up adrift, searching for an identity and a purpose. A friend characterized Ariel’s life as “a solar system without a star, without a sun.” She got pregnant and had an abortion. She got a lot of tattoos. She did a lot of drugs. She studied for her GED but never got it.

Ultimately she found the Left, and dived in wholeheartedly. According to a 2015 BuzzFeed profile, “When she wasn’t working, she was active in many social justice groups in Chattanooga, protesting and raising awareness of issues facing the city’s working poor and often traveling out of state to march in rallies for teachers’ rights or protests against America’s overseas military actions. In the biography of the Twitter account @LadyAppleSeed, which she created in May 2009, Ariel describes herself as an ‘activist,’ and friends say she considered that a huge part of her identity; they also said she called herself a feminist.” A photo of Ariel at a demonstration survives; she is holding up a sign emblazoned with the slogan “SYSTEM CHANGE NOT CLIMATE CHANGE.”

Why Smart People Get Suckered By ‘Trust the Science’

/in , , , , , /by

Has there ever been a time in history when the public has been asked to “trust the science” more?

This week the the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released a report which UN Secretary General António Guterres described as “a code red for humanity”. It predicts catastrophic climate change unless nations make draconian cuts in greenhouse gas emissions. Nearly a hundred scientists were listed as the authors of the report.

At the same time, most of the world is being advised to take vaccines against Covid-19 and submit to onerous lockdowns and social distancing. Epidemiologists announce guidelines flanked by politicians.

Critics of climate change science and Covid-19 vaccines are fighting back with their own studies. Some is science; some is pseudoscience. US President Joe Biden has savagely criticised social media companies for allowing “fake news” to reinforce anti-vaxxers. “They’re killing people,” he said last month.

Fake news is putting the mantra of “trust the science” through a fearful stress test. Is it possible to create a vaccine against this blizzard of misinformation?

Some social science researchers have experimented with “cognitive vaccines” in the hope of getting people to examine the evidence and make rational decisions, rather than relying on advice from their cousins or Instagram influencers.

But says an article in the leading science journal PNAS, “researchers have found that this is not as simple as providing people with correct information and hoping it will supplant false beliefs”.

One disturbing feature of fake news is that a willingness to “trust the science” does not necessarily inoculate people against the allure of pseudoscience.

In a recent article in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, researchers from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign found that the mantra “trust the science” does not work.

Paradoxically, they found that people who trusted science could be more vulnerable to being duped:

We identify two critical determinants of vulnerability to pseudoscience. First, participants who trust science are more likely to believe and disseminate false claims that contain scientific references than false claims that do not.

Second, reminding participants of the value of critical evaluation reduces belief in false claims, whereas reminders of the value of trusting science do not. We conclude that trust in science, although desirable in many ways, makes people vulnerable to pseudoscience.

As the researchers lamented, this is “paradoxical”. People who trust science, who are presumably reasonably well educated, are supposed to spurn “fake news”. However, they found that “the mere presence of scientific labels in the article facilitated belief in the misinformation and increased the probability of dissemination”. In other words, a gloss of scientific credibility actually increased people’s vulnerability to pseudoscience.

And this seemed to be true even for many people with higher degrees.

The authors of the study conclude that public officials need to urge people to be curious and critical – to think for themselves, in other words – rather than swallow the recommendations of scientists (or pseudoscientists) uncritically.

As the astronomer and popular science writer Carl Sagan said: “One of the great commandments of science is, ‘Mistrust arguments from authority.’ … Too many such arguments have proved too painfully wrong. Authorities must prove their contentions like everybody else.”

CUBA’S SUPPORT FOR TERRORISM

/in , , , /by

Although President Barack Obama removed Cuba in 2015 from the U.S. State Department list of countries supporting terrorism, and President Trump included it again in 2020, the Cuban regime continues to collaborate with terrorist groups and countries, and harbors U.S., Spanish, and Colombian terrorists in the island.

Iran, Cuba, and Venezuela have developed a close and cooperative relationship against the U.S. and in support of terrorist groups and states. The three regimes increasingly coordinate their policies and resources in a three-way partnership aimed at counteracting and circumventing U.S. policies in the Middle East and Latin America. Within this relationship, Cuba plays a strategic role in terms of geography (proximity to the U.S.), intelligence gathering (both electronic eavesdropping and human espionage) logistics, and training.

In addition to its proven technical prowess to interfere and intercept U.S. telecommunications, Cuba has deployed around the world a highly effective human intelligence network. The type of espionage carried out by Ana Belén Montes, the senior U.S. defense intelligence analyst who spied for Cuba during some 16 years until her arrest in 2001, has enabled the Cuban regime to amass a wealth of intelligence on U.S. vulnerabilities as well as a keen understanding of the inner-workings of the U.S. security system.

Such information and analysis are being provided to strategic allies like Iran. While one may argue that factors such as Iran’s limited military capabilities and sheer distance diminish any conventional concerns, one should expect that Tehran, in case of a U.S.-Iran conflict, would launch an asymmetrical offensive against the U.S. and its European allies through surrogate terrorist states and paramilitary organizations. In such a scenario, Cuban intelligence would be invaluable to Iran and its proxies, and Cuban territory could be used by terrorist groups to launch operations against the U.S.

Following is recent evidence of Cuba’s involvement with terrorism:

  • Cuba directly and through Venezuela continues to provide intelligence to Hamas and Hezbollah.
  • Hezbollah, on orders from Hasan Nasrallah, set up an operational base in Cuba.
  • Working in coordination with the Cuban government, Venezuela is promoting Hezbollah and Iranian targets in South America and against the U.S. They fundraise for Hezbollah, facilitate travel for Hezbollah activists to Venezuela, and through Venezuela to other countries. This is all part of the strategic alliance between Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran.
  • Cuban military officers are acting as liaison between Venezuelan military and the narco-guerrillas of the Colombian FARC. Cuban General Leonardo Ramon Andollo, Chief of Operations of the Cuban MINFAR (Ministry of the Armed Forces), has visited Venezuela several times and acted as a go between the Cuban and Venezuelan military involved in drug trafficking.
  • The FBI estimates that Cuba has provided safe harbor to dozens of fugitives from U.S. justice who live on the island under the protection of the Cuban regime. Some of these fugitives are charged with or have been convicted of murder, kidnapping, and hijacking, and they include notorious killers of police officers in New Jersey and New Mexico, most prominent among them Joanne Chesimard (Assata Shakur), placed by the FBI in 2013 on the “Most Wanted Terrorist List.” The FBI is offering millions of dollars for information leading to her apprehension.
  • Other terrorists fugitives of the U.S. living in Cuba include Ishmael LaBeet, one of the five men convicted of the infamous Fountain Valley Massacre, a racially tinged 1972-armed robbery in the Virgin Islands that turned into mass murder, with eight dead. Guillermo Morales, the master bomb-maker of the Puerto Rican separatist group FALN (Fuerzas Armadas de Liberación Nacional), which set off 140 or so explosions around the United States during the 1970s and 1980s, killing at least six people. Victor Gerena, an armed robber working for another Puerto Rican separatist group, who is believed to have taken the proceeds of a $7 million heist to Cuba with him. Charles Hill who in 1971 hijacked a civilian plane carrying 49 passengers and fled to Cuba. Hill is also wanted for the 1971 murder of New Mexico State Police officer Robert Rosenbloom. Others include William Lee Brent, William Potts, and Ronald Labeet, all wanted in the U.S.
  • Current and former Spanish members of Basque Fatherland and Liberty (ETA), a Basque terrorist organization continue to reside in Cuba. While some of these terrorists are on the island as part of an accord between the Cuban and Spanish governments, others are hiding in Cuba, fugitives of Spanish justice. ETA terrorist, Jose Angel Urtiaga Martinez, has lived in Cuba since the 1980s and is wanted by Spanish Justice. In addition, there are about a dozen other ETA members living in Cuba.
  • Former Cuban intelligence official, Uberto Mario, has described how the Cuban regime trained Venezuelan “Tupamaros,” pro-Maduro groups who violently attack Venezuelan students.
  • “Hezbollah in Cuba,” the Hamas-funded Turkish “charity” known as IHH continues to operate in Havana. IHH is a member of the “Union of Good,” an umbrella organization that financially supports Hamas.
  • Managed by Cubans and Venezuelans sympathetic to Cuba, Venezuela’s immigration system, “Misión Identidad,” facilitates the entry of Cuban agents into Venezuela. Cubans also control SIME (Servicio de Identificacion, Migracion y Extranjeria, Caracas) which facilitates the travel of drug organizations, Colombian guerrillas, and Islamist terrorists. Cuba also has on the island duplicate Venezuelan forms and stamps to issue passports and identifications to these groups.
  • Warranting special mention are the outstanding U.S. indictments against Cuban Air Force pilots and General Rubén Martínez Puente, the head of the Cuban Air Force, who in 1996 shot down two unarmed civilian American aircraft over international waters in the Florida Straits. That act of terrorism, ordered by Fidel and Raul Castro, killed four men, three of them American citizens. The Castro brothers personally accepted responsibility for the shot-down.
  • In 2013 “Prensa Islamica” published an article on Cuba-Iran growing relationship. The article explains that Cuba has shared with Iran its “vast knowledge on intelligence” and has discussed cooperation “on electromagnetic weapons capable of sabotaging enemy communications.”
  • In January 2019, Colombia’s President asked Cuba to extradite several leaders of Colombian terrorist group Ejército de Liberación Nacional (ELN). Yet Cuba refuses. Living in the island are a) Nicolas Rodríguez, aka Gabino; b) Israel Ramírez Pineda aka Pablo Beltrán; c) Victor Orlando Cubides, aka Aureliano Carbonell.  There are also three female members of the ELN in Cuba: Consuelo Tapias, Isabel Torres, and Luz Amanda Pallares, aka Silvana Guerrero.
  • Other leaders of the Colombian terrorist group, Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia, FARC have used Cubas as temporary safe heaven. They include Ivan Marquez and Rodrigo Londoño Echeverry, aka Timochenko.
  • The electro-magnetic cyber-attacks against U.S. and Canadian diplomats in Havana that harmed a number of them, is still an unresolved issue.

In an attempt to obtain unilateral concessions from the U.S., the Cuban regime has toned down some of its violent anti-U.S. propaganda of Fidel and Raul. Yet their commitment to and interrelationships with anti-American terrorist groups have not disappeared. They have taken a more sophisticated approach; many times, using proxies such as Venezuelan supporters.

Sovietization and Destruction of the American Constitutional Republic

/in , , , , /by

When I turned on TV on August 3, 2021, there was a report by Joon Kim, special investigator, about the sexual abuses of Governor Cuomo. Listening to him made me stunned. While describing Cuomo’s behavior and culture in the New York Governor’s office, the man was unfolding the official culture of Stalinist Soviet Socialism in Russia—the two were paralleled. I have lived under this toxic environment half of my life. I recognized it as soon as my English armed me with the political culture in America and started writing and warning the American public thirty five years ago…

As a former defense attorney I had clients who were sexually abused and retaliated against by their superiors for talking too much. But I couldn’t help them—the ubiquitous Soviet System deprived me of doing anything, it had control and power over me and all the multinational populations of Russia living under the lawless Socialist system where everything was politicized. I have written about Cuomo before; he will not admit anything and will never resign… a typical Socialist apparatchik tactic, thinking that the Earth revolves around him. His is a ‘slow the clock’ strategy. Shameless like Bill Clinton, who cost us trillions in damage to our national security and economy, yet, still is not in prison. Reading my books and columns you will see for yourself the parallels of identical cultures…

It was in my book The Russian Factor, where I identified the term Sovietization and predicted the Sovietization of America, politicization and polarization of the country ten years ago. We have it today. For this reason, I have introduced to you America’s Mafia-State in my column Warnings: The Russian Connection, Part II, Oct.18, 2016. In the column, I revealed again Bill Clinton’s strange visit to Moscow in June 1991, two and a half months before he announced his candidacy for U.S. President. He had a meeting with the Chairman of the KGB in Moscow. I also talked about the Clinton mafia, which is a franchise of the Soviet mafia. I called it the Clinton mafia—a criminal partnership of the politicians, created by Bill Clinton for the last forty years.

Cuomo’s crimes go beyond sexual abuse, they are also a mismanagement and the lust for Control and Power. The deaths in the Nursing Homes is one of the criminal mismanagements. He was wrong in many other respects besides COVID. New York is a one-party state and Cuomo is the real face of the Democrat Party. I started writing about cultural parallels in the beginning of the 21 century and called it the Sovietization of America. ”During the Cold War we talked a lot about Soviet expansion, even invented the policy of Containment.  But the West failed to contain expansion, not knowing how Sovietization had been de facto implemented.” P. 117, The Russian Factor: From Cold War to Global Terrorism.”  XLIBRIS, 2006.

I’d recommend you read the entire book, where you’ll find my lecture on global Stalinist Sovietization, prepared and made in the New York University, where I was teaching at the time. Reading the book, you will learn the multiple avenues Sovietization gradually was implemented and executed by the Democrat Party, inculcating socialist mentality into the population’s minds. That parallels what I indicated even earlier, as soon as my language armed me with the trends in American politics and culture. Being a grantee of the George F. Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies in 1985, my research was dedicated to the Russian Security System. I had known then and warned you: the KGB will come to America. Please, read The International Lawyer to recognize the Russian Intel in America.

The Soviet Internal Passport System (pp. 915-919)

Simona Pipko and Albert J. Pucciarelli

The interpretation of the a Soviet word “security” has a special twofold meaning: to secure Russia from foreign influence and to build globally One World Socialist Government Under the Kremlin’s rule. It was Stalin’s Doctrine establishing a totalitarian police state in Russia. The Doctrine had driven the growth of an immense bureaucracy to act globally and domestically simultaneously.

Watch today the Biden administration’s control over Americans and you will find a lot of similarities with the Soviet social Control and Power by the passport system, let alone the recent mandate—Vaccine Passport. It definitely related to the Soviet Passport System to exercise Control and Power and Chinese COVID has promoted that relationship…

Stalinist Socialism Targets Children and Capitalism

Watch also the events in our School system, where the teachers and the government are against the students. Please read the Story of Russian President Yeltsin in my column: Soviet Socialism in Stalinist America, July 15, 2021. You will see the parallel in the cultures—Socialism is targeting and indoctrinating children in both cultures, as a result of Sovietization in America, too… Look at the Teachers Union—an unelected bureaucracy that decides the fate of our children. The public school system is rotten and parents have no choice. The time has come to give money to parents not to use the school system like in the Soviet Russia. It is not “cancel culture,” but Sovietization of America and a distraction to the brilliant design of our political system left to us by our Founding Fathers.

There is another loud similarity in culture. Just look at the Korean Central News Agency’s or KCNA’s delivery of Kim’s message, “Our external political activities must focus on controlling and subjugating the United States, our archenemy and the biggest stumbling block to the development of our revolution.”  Listen to this: “Kim began the party conference this week, the last since 2016, by bluntly admitting that his last five-year economic plan had ended in failure, due to both external factors — such as international sanctions and the coronavirus — but also due to internal reasons, such as government mismanagement of the economy.” Kim Jong Un Calls U.S. North Korea’s ‘Biggest Enemy,’ Vows To Advance Nuclear Arsenal, NPR, January 9, 20214, by Anthony Kuln.

This is the crux of the matter. I left a country where the five-year economic plan was a law of the land. The country was Russia, with Stalinist Doctrine of totalitarian police state of Socialism. Nobody can argue with me: North Korea was created personally by Stalin, the documentary and history provided us with the story of North Korea’s creation. I was a witness of the event in 1948, living in Russia at the time. You can find the story in my books and columns. Please, look at the Biden policy and current Infrastructure bill: it is a copy of the five-year plan to bankrupt and destroy American capitalism. Here are inflation’s statistics for the six month of his presidency: “Gas up 45.1% Milk up 5.6% Fruit up 7.3% Car rentals up 87.7% Hotels up 16.9% Yet, Democrats are still trying to pass a $3.5 trillion spending package, leaving middle-class Americans with the bill.”

The circle will be closed if you know the opinion of our demented President Biden: “Communism is a failed system, I see Socialism as a useful substitute” Joe Biden 7.16. 2021. I have been following Biden since 2013-2014 when he was trying to suffocate the young Ukrainian democracy by helping Putin. Now, he continues helping Putin to destroy American capitalism in many different ways. The Biden administration is not ignoring the chaos in the border, it deliberately rewards criminality on the Southern border, helping Putin again like in Ukraine. Remember, it was Putin, who orchestrated the Muslim invasion to Europe in 2015. Now it is Act # 2 in America—Biden allows thousands of illegals with COVID to enter our nation and transfer them to Republican states Florida and Texas….

Also remember Pete Buttigieg, now the Transportation Secretary was sponsored by the KGB Mafia/Army, like Bernie and Biden in 2020. Socialist Charlatans are winning and the Republicans are losing because they have no knowledge of Stalinist Soviet Socialism. Trump is right: “the infrastructure bill will be used against the Republican Party in the upcoming elections in 2022 and 2024.” The Dems will allocate $46 billion. I will add that by lying, deceiving and defrauding, Socialist Charlatans will “invent” something to divert a voter’s attention from the important issues of the election by manipulations and fraud in the cyber security world or by bringing some garbage to confuse you.

In his Sunday Night show 8/8/2021, Trey Gowdy was calling for Truth, he wanted only the Truth about the events in America. Dear Trey, truth was killed hundred years ago, when Comrade Stalin invented his Political Correctness, which has been killing the Truth globally ever since. The American public uses the term very often, but only a few know that it was designed by Stalin. Trey Gowdy is right: On the eve of the memory of the 9/11 attacks, the truth about all Americans killed by Russia and her Intel must be revealed. Read my books and columns to find the truth…

Remember my warning: We are at war with Russian/Chinese Intel: they are fighting us for global Control and Power. In this war the Democrat Party has joined the enemy and is fighting against the Republicans and the Constitutional republic designed and left to us by our Founding Fathers. The crises and chaos in America is due to the activities of human beings. There are some very guilty entities and people. The measure of guilt is different, it is incompetence, ignorance, and treason. I leave to you the correct assessment and qualification of their actions. I can’t list all of them, but I want to give you some names:

  1. The Democrat Party leadership for collaborating with Russia’s Intel.
  2. The American Intel apparatus which has a duty to protect Americans, but contrary to that missed a massive infiltration of the Russian Intel.
  3. The FBI – the same duty and the same negative results.
  4. Two Democrat woman: Cori Bush and Jane Harman:

Cori Bush, a Representative of the Black community, was destroying it by her arrogant ignorance and incompetence. Her Black community desperately needs the police, more than any other community, but she was depriving her community the defense and security she personally had for herself. What arrogance! She was agitating to defund the police contrary to the wellbeing of Black people she was representing.

Moreover, she promoted the KGB narrative of White Supremacy. Read my column: Stalinism and Destabilization of America, June 2. 2015. The KGB started to divide races in America in the 1960s with the narrative of White Oppressors, then White Privilege, and lately White Supremacy. Cori Bush is helping the Russian Intel to indoctrinate Black people and further divide Americans…

The second woman is Jane Harman. Here is the official presentation: “Jane Harman, Distinguished Fellow and President Emerita, Wilson Center, is an internationally recognized authority on U.S. and global security issues, foreign relations and lawmaking. She resigned from Congress February 28, 2011 to join the Woodrow Wilson Center as its first female Director, President, and CEO.”

I am an Alumni of the George F. Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies, a part of the Woodrow Wilson center and I have a very negative opinion of Jane Harman. George F. Kennan was the best expert on Russia providing the American government with real information about Russia’s aggressive policy. His death became a great loss to America and the appointment of Jane Harman has quadrupled this loss. Incompetent in Russian politics, she stopped productive activities of both institutions, depriving the American government and people in the expert’s research and needed information, untying Putin’s hands in the 21 century. Please, read in detail my column: America’s Socialist/Fascist Party = No Peace!  September 22, 2020

My fellow Americans!

We are now in the process of Socialist Revolution, Soviet Style in America, led by the third American Manchurian President. Only knowledge of Russia and her Intel de facto can provide you with understanding of the current crises and chaos in our nation. Time is short! Act accordingly now!

Freedom’s torch is yours!

At Best Negligent Homicide, at Worst Murder

/in , , , , , , /by

“Political language… is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” – George Orwell

“Wherever the real power in a government lies, there is the danger of oppression.” – James Madison

“The more we do to you, the less you seem to believe we are doing it.” –  Dr. Joseph Mengele, physician in the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau, known for performing grisly human experiments on camp inmates, including children, for which Mengele was called the “Angel of Death.”

“The press is our chief ideological weapon.” – Russian leader, Nikita Krushev

“Communism has never come to power in a country that was not disrupted by war or corruption, or both.” – John F. Kennedy

America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLDS) attorney, Thomas Renz, whose law experience began with his mentor, Nuremburg Prosecutor and celebrated international lawyer and scholar, Henry T. King, Jr., said, “If you truly understand what has happened here, it is at best negligent homicide, and at worst murder.”

“Stop the Shot…The Rest of the Story Conference” aired on August 4th with dozens of international leaders exposing new medical data on vaccine risks. The online meeting featured Dr. Peter McCullough, Attorney Thomas Renz, Dr. Michael Yeadon, Sister Deidre Byrne, Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet, Dr. Jose Trasancos, and other prominent physicians, scientists, attorneys, and religious leaders who discussed vital information related to the C-19 jab, clinical trials, and more.

The video is available on Life Site News and brought to America by The Truth for Health Foundation who offers patient resources for those who contract Covid-19 (C-19) and those who took the jab.

Willful Misconduct for Lucre

Thousands upon thousands have died because of the willful misconduct of people like Tony Fauci, who have consistently violated their oath of service to We The People and Our Constitution, and in doing so are potentially guilty of the greatest fraud ever enacted in human history.

In 2005, Fauci’s National Institutes of Health documented Chloroquine as a potent inhibitor of SARS coronavirus infection and spread.  Yet an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) was put on this very safe 65-year-old drug.  Thousands of elderly Americans with multiple comorbidities died for lack of clinical care, and we were told that only a “vaccine” would stop the pandemic that 99.75% of people recover from.  Pure unadulterated hogwash!  Lonely unnecessary deaths of the elderly occurred.

Democrat attorney Jonathan Turley reported that Dr. Peter Hotez, a professor of pediatrics and molecular virology at Baylor College of Medicine is calling for federal hate-crime protections to be extended to cover criticism of Dr. Anthony Fauci and other scientists. The frequent MSNBC and CNN guest wants Congress to expand hate crimes to “scientists currently targeted by far-right extremism in the United States.”  More censorship to protect the authoritarian comrades who hate America’s God given freedoms.

Dr. Henry Ealy asks, Did the FDA & CDC Withhold Evidence-based Treatments from Americans?  Unethical government experiments on our citizens have been done before and written about many times, but the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment is one of the worst.  The Belmont Report laid out ethical principles and guidelines for the protection of human subjects of research, yet here we are again but this time all of humanity have become lab rats. Dr. Peter McCullough’s article, “Agony at the end of an experimental needle,” says it all…they’re creating enhanced C-19 variants with their inoculations.

The C-19 pandemic will never end since half of America has already been inoculated, thus ushering in the bloated totalitarian dictatorship.

Few Americans “truly understand” what is being done to them.  Watch the following video where Mark Dice asks Californians if the un-jabbed should be locked up to protect those who took the jab.  A majority of people signed his petition.  One elderly gentleman said to him, “That’s fascism.”  He’s right, that’s exactly what this is, and the despots in power and their comrades in mainstream media would love to see this happen and violate the most fundamental rights of one’s personal liberty.

Video Here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBRLUGMeBL4

Get Jabbed, Get Covid

Few Americans realize both the CDC and the FDA have basically admitted that the C-19 jabs are shedding.  But now, Pfizer admits in its own mRNA testing documentation that non-prick recipients may be environmentally exposed to the proteins by inhalation or skin contact.  Basically, the plan was to make sure that no one, even those who refused the vaccine won’t receive the spike proteins from a vaxxed family member or friend.  The eugenics plan is even more criminal than we had thought: no one will be free from the harmful (potentially fatal) effects of “vaccines,” even if they have not been inoculated.

The medical (but not practicing) power elites tell us it’s the un-jabbed who are causing outbreaks, but that hasn’t been the case on several all-inoculated cruise ships where travelers have come down with C-19 (Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruise Lines).  Masks were forced on all, as though that does one bit of good.

Hundreds of C-19 inoculated staffers at two San Francisco hospitals have tested positive for the virus, which begs the question, Why do we need a Covid-jab passport?  They obviously don’t work!  Because the whole danged thing is a lie, even the World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that Covid is nothing more than another flu.  Duh! With a 99.75% recovery, WHO knew this long ago.

Last week, Director of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Rochelle Walensky, told Wolf Blitzer that the C-19 jabs, which are still under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), don’t perform as well as advertised.  What gave you the first clue Sherlock? “They continue to work well for Delta with regard to severe illness and death, they prevent it. But what they can’t do anymore is prevent transmission.” Total rubbish!

Walensky’s husband is  Loren D. Walensky, a renowned pediatric oncology researcher at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute at Harvard. Pamela Geller reports that he received $5 Million in HHS Grants – and that’s just the start of it.  Fauci had a lot to do with Rochelle Walensky’s appointment and far more is already in their coffers.

The majority of people who have taken the vax have come down with a worse case of Covid, and they’re calling it the Delta variant.  Sidney, Australia and Israel are reporting that all new hospitalized C-19 patients have been vaccinated.  Sars-CoV-2 is the cause of C-19, but has never been isolated. Messenger RNA inventor Dr. Robert Malone tells us that the Pfizer inoculation in the waning phase is causing the virus to replicate more efficiently than it would otherwise.  It is called antibody dependent enhancement or less precisely, disease enhancement.

As explained in previous articles, the PCR tests were useless and for Walensky to say the injection works well for Delta means she’s purposely Machiavellian in her deceit. Dozens of physicians and scientists, including Dr. Michael Yeadon who was the VP and chief scientist at Pfizer, have told us there is no test for Delta variant. He has openly stated, “Your government is lying to you about the C-19 vaccine and it could lead to death.” He described how “demonstrably false” their propaganda is, and that “forced vaccines and vaccine passports are a gateway to mass killing in the billions.”

Inoculation Propaganda

Dr. Yeadon says it’s a lie that if you’re asymptomatic you are still a carrier, that lockdowns work, that masks have any protective value, that variants are scary things, and that we need to close international borders because of variants.  Variants are always less than .3% of the original, so if you’ve had the original, any variant is not worrisome. Makers of the messenger RNA inoculation have claimed their jab covers the variants, but the reality is, the so-called “variants” are made by the injection. New York’s Dr. Vladimir Zelenko says he’s not concerned about variants either.

In a recent article, Yeadon lists his seven main points against the propaganda lies. The last two are telling:

 Why are they doing this? Since no benign reason is apparent, the use of vaccine passports along with a “banking reset” could issue in a totalitarianism unlike the world has ever seen. Recalling the evil of Stalin, Mao, and Hitler, “mass depopulation” remains a logical outcome. 

The fact that this at least could be true means everyone must “fight like crazy to make sure that system never forms.”

There’s more…

“Pfizer mRNA Vaccine Testing Fraud” by Dr. Michael Horowitz gives new meaning to “experimental vaccines” and lab rats.  On January 4, 2021, the honorable editor of the British Medical Journal, Peter Doshi, presented multiple concerns regarding the Pfizer and Moderna companies’ C-19 vaccine testing protocol for determining efficacy. He concluded most assuredly that the public requires “more details and the raw data.”

AFLDS reported that there’s good reason Pfizer has fought to hide the details of their contracts.  All of the empirical clinical methods used by so many physicians to cure patients of C-19 via assortments of cheap and safe drugs, especially Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin, were suppressed worldwide. Why?  Because the agreement countries had with Pfizer does not allow them to escape their contract, which states that “even if a drug will be found to treat C-19, the contract cannot be voided.”  Pfizer even gets to tell you how many jabs you’ll need. Read the full agreement here.

Renowned physicians and scientists are absolutely correct to tell everyone to avoid the jabs.

FDA Vax Approval Game

Yes, the feds have been at the vax approval game for a long time.  There are five horrifying facts about the FDA approval.  You’d be wise to read the entire article.

Most people think that the government is watching out for them, and when they are told that vaccines are safe and effective, they believe it in part because they know that these products have been approved by the FDA.  However, most people also know little to nothing about vaccines or how they go through the FDA vaccine approval process and on to the market. Here are five horrifying facts about this process that neither public health officials nor the mainstream media are disclosing to you.

  1. The Government is the Vaccine Industry.
  2. The FDA Relies on the Vaccine Manufacturer’s Own Studies.
  3. Vaccine Manufacturers Don’t Do Safety Studies the Way You Think They Do…
  4. Pharmaceutical Companies Can Pay the FDA to “Fast Track” Their Products.
  5. Vaccine Manufacturers Have Legal Immunity from Damages, (which we knew).

Mandated Inoculations

We know about NY Mayor DeBlasio’s draconian mandated vax for certain indoor activities.  But there’s more.  California Governor Newsom has implemented a first in the nation standard to require all state workers and workers in health care and high-risk congregate settings to either show proof of full vaccination or be tested at least once per week, and encourage all local government and other employers to adopt a similar protocol.

The Pentagon has mandated all military must receive the C-19 vax.  Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin on Monday said he would make C-19 vaccination mandatory for U.S service members by mid-September.

United Airlines will require its 67,000 U.S. employees to get vaccinated against C-19 by no later than Oct. 25 or risk termination, a first for major U.S. carriers that will likely ramp up pressure on rivals.

Faced with the explosive growth of a new “virus variant,” the state of California and the city of New York gave workers a choice: Get vaccinated or face weekly testing. And an array of hospitals from coast to coast, including the prestigious Mayo Clinic, declared they would require staff to get vaccinated, following a joint plea from the nation’s major medical groups.

Add many colleges and universities demanding students get inoculated when it is rare for young people to even contract Covid.  You might want to keep your children home since 80% of those in the Teacher’s Unions have been inoculated for C-19.

A union representing hundreds of sheriff’s deputies protecting the City and County of San Francisco warned on Friday that “a percentage” of members “will retire early or seek employment elsewhere” if they are forced to get vaccinated against C-19.

There are many more…ever notice how nothing is mentioned regarding those who have recovered from C-19 and don’t need a vaccine because they have natural immunity given to us by God?

The law is clear, if anyone mandates receiving an experimental unlicensed vaccine, you have to be armed with resources for yourself. AFLDS has those resources.

Conclusion

Walk Out Wednesday on August 11, 2021 is being planned all over the country. The federal EUA law and the FDA, including the FDA Fact Sheets, state unequivocally that each person has the “option to accept or refuse” the shots. These shots are experimental and investigational and have not been licensed by the FDA. The Nuremberg Code also states that voluntary consent “is absolutely essential.” Healthcare workers and first responders have run to the frontlines. They are heroes, and they should not be terminated for making a personal decision to refuse the shots.

Even if you are not being forced to get the C-19 shots, stand in solidarity with others who are being mandated. Stand with your friends, healthcare workers, veterans, or those who serve our veterans, students, and millions of others who are being forced to take the jabs or be terminated or removed from school.

Vaxxed Italians are burning their jab passports to unite with the unvaxxed.  This needs to happen all over the world…and especially in America against the authoritarian despots in charge of cities, counties, states and the federal government.

Don’t just say NO to the jabs, say HELL NO!

You Are Being Lied to about Covid, Delta, Vax & You Must Fight Back with Truth!

Biden’s Immigration Policies vs. National Security & Public Safety

/in , , , , , /by

Administration orders “shields down” in the midst of numerous foreign threats.

With just about all attention focused on the crisis on the U.S./Mexican border, scant if any attention is being paid to the many other ways aliens may enter the United States in violation of our immigration laws.

I have frequently written about the irrefutable fact that the United States has 50 border states and not just the four border states that abut with the Mexican border.

In addition to the four “border states” that everyone is well aware of, any state that lies along our nation’s northern border, lies along our nation’s 95,000 miles of coastline or has an international airport are all “border states.”

Aliens who run our nation’s borders are entering the United States without inspection, but then so do aliens who stow away on ships and then sneak off those ships.  Boats undoubtedly make landfall along our 95,000 mile coastline and enable aliens to also evade the inspections process that is mandated by immigration laws and protect the United States from the entry and presence of aliens who may pose a threat to national security, public safety, public health and the jobs and wages of Americans.

On June 6, 1993 a dilapidated and vermin-infested boat, the Golden Venture ran aground in the Rockaways, a coastal neighborhood in Queens, New York.  On board were some 300 illegal aliens from China who had paid alien smugglers thousands of dollars to enter the United States without inspection and they hoped, without detection.

On June 7, 2018 a local newspaper, The Rockaway Times, published a detailed report about that event, The Golden Venture: 25 Years Later.

Authorities only became aware of that aliens smuggling / human trafficking criminal enterprise because it failed.  The obvious question is how many such efforts have been successful?  As the saying goes, “You don’t know what you don’t know.”

Numerous reports prepared by the GAO also point to another means by which aliens enter the United States in violation of our immigration laws.  These aliens enter the United States and violate their immigration status.  All too frequently such aliens are referred to as “Visa Overstays.”  This tends to sound less ominous that the reality.  The notion that aliens remain past their authorized period of admission does not sound particularly  worrisome, after all, we have all had houseguests who stay too late and ruin our nights sleep.

Why then should we be concerned about aliens who don’t leave when they are supposed to?

The more accurate way of describing aliens who violate the terms to their admission is “Visa Violators.”  They not only remain beyond their authorized period of admission but likely violate other terms of their admission into the United States by, perhaps, accepting illegal employment or by committing serious crimes.

Many visa violators also lie on their applications for visas that they file at U.S. embassies and consulates around the world and also lie to the CBP (Customs and Border Protection) inspectors at ports of entry.

For the first four years of my thirty year career with the former INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service) I was an Immigration Inspector assigned to John F. Kennedy International Airport before I became an INS Special Agent.  The frustrations of that job were constant and enormous.

Inspectors are generally expected to take about one minute to complete the inspection of an alien seeking entry into the United States.  On a limited basis when there are serious doubts about the alien’s admissibility into the United States that alien may be sent for a more in-depth “Secondary” inspection.  However, with CBP’s limited resources many aliens are simply admitted into the United States and they simply go hiding in plain sight.

Biden’s edict that illegal aliens not be arrested by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agents unless they not only have outstanding Warrants of Removal (Deportation) but must also have convictions for serious crimes meant that aliens who can game the legal entry process at ports of entry and then violate our immigration laws have nothing to fear- but Americans most certainly do!

In fact, on May 11, 2006 I testified before a hearing conducted by the House Committee on International Relations, Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations on the topic, Visa Overstays: Can We Bar The Terrorist Door?  That hearing was convened because of serious concerns about how terrorists were able to easily game the immigration system to supposedly enter the United States legally, embed themselves in communities around the United States and go about their deadly preparations.

The preface of the official government report, “9/11 and  Terrorist Travel – Staff Report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States” begins with the following paragraph:

It is perhaps obvious to state that terrorists cannot plan and carry out attacks in the United States if they are unable to enter the country. Yet prior to September 11, while there were efforts to enhance border security, no agency of the U.S. government thought of border security as a tool in the counterterrorism arsenal. Indeed, even after 19 hijackers demonstrated the relative ease of obtaining a U.S. visa and gaining admission into the United States, border security still is not considered a cornerstone of national security policy. We believe, for reasons we discuss in the following pages, that it must be made one.

Page 54 of above-noted report contained this excerpt under the title, “Terrorist Travel Tactics by Plot”-

Although there is evidence that some land and sea border entries (of terrorists) without inspection occurred, these conspirators mainly subverted the legal entry system by entering at airports.

In doing so, they relied on a wide variety of fraudulent documents, on aliases, and on government corruption. Because terrorist operations were not suicide missions in the early to mid-1990s, once in the United States terrorists and their supporters tried to get legal immigration status that would permit them to remain here, primarily by committing serial, or repeated, immigration fraud, by claiming political asylum, and by marrying Americans. Many of these tactics would remain largely unchanged and undetected throughout the 1990s and up to the 9/11 attack.

Thus, abuse of the immigration system and a lack of interior immigration enforcement were unwittingly working together to support terrorist activity. It would remain largely unknown, since no agency of the United States government analyzed terrorist travel patterns until after 9/11. This lack of attention meant that critical opportunities to disrupt terrorist travel and, therefore, deadly terrorist operations were missed.

Last month my article, Alleged Iranian Kidnap Plot Targeted Iranian/American Dissident In Brooklyn Connecting the immigration dots Biden ignores, focused on how an Iranian woman was able to enter the United States to participate in what was a foiled plot to kidnap a naturalized American citizen who had been born in Iran and has been writing articles critical of the Iranian regime.

On July 22, 2021 the Department of Justice (DOJ) issued a press release, Nine Individuals Charged in Superseding Indictment with Conspiring to Act as Illegal Agents of the People’s Republic of China.  The subtitle stated, “PRC Prosecutor Allegedly Traveled to the United States, Directed Stalking of U.S. Residents, and Obstructed Criminal Investigation.”

Here is the salient excerpt from that press release:

According to court documents, Tu Lan, 50, and Zhai Yongqiang, 46, both of China, are the latest two of nine charged in the superseding indictment. Co-defendants Hu Ji, 46 and Li Minjun, 65, both of China; Zhu Feng, 34, a Chinese national residing in Queens, New York; Michael McMahon, 53, of Mahwah, New Jersey; Zheng Congying, 24, of Brooklyn, New York; and Zhu Yong, aka Jason Zhu, 64, of Norwich, Connecticut, were previously charged in a related criminal complaint issued in October 2020 and a related indictment in May 2021. The name of the ninth defendant remains under seal.

According to court documents, the defendants allegedly acted at the direction and under the control of PRC government officials, conducted surveillance of and engaged in a campaign to harass, stalk and coerce certain residents of the United States to return to the PRC as part of a global, concerted and extralegal repatriation effort known as “Operation Fox Hunt.” The superseding indictment also alleges that Tu Lan, a new defendant who was employed as a prosecutor with the Hanyang People’s Procuratorate, traveled to the United States, directed the harassment campaign and ordered a co-conspirator to destroy evidence to obstruct the criminal investigation.

There was no mention of how the alleged Chinese prosecutor procured a visa to enter the United States, to allegedly oversee the operation.

This case was the subject of an earlier DOJ press release, dated October 28, 2020, Eight Individuals Charged With Conspiring to Act as Illegal Agents of the People’s Republic of China.  That press release also included a link to the initial Criminal Compaint which disclosed that most of the defendants in the case were either lawfully admitted permanent resident, aliens of the United States or a naturalized United States citizen.

In both of the above noted Iranian and Chinese cases, governments that are hostile to the United States were able to insert their operatives into the United States by potentially committing immigration and visa fraud. Nevertheless, a review of DOJ press releases shows that no attention is being given to visa fraud by the Biden administration. Indeed, as I noted in a recent report in which I addressed another case involving alleged Chinese espionage, Biden Dept. of Justice Drops Criminal Charges Lodged Against Five Chinese Spies.

America’s adversaries are having a field day while America’s national security and public safety are undermined by the Biden administration, even as the 20th anniversary of the terror attacks of 9/11 looms large on the horizon.

Enough People Crossed the Border in 2021 to Create the 10th-Largest City in the U.S.

By Alex J. Rouhandeh, Newsweek,  On 8/3/21 at 12:15 PM EDT

U.S. authorities encountered roughly 210,000 people at the Southwest border in July, according to preliminary data gathered by the Associated Press from Assistant Secretary for Border and Immigration Policy David Shahoulian.

That pushes the total number of encounters since January to over 1,111,000, surpassing the population of San Jose, California, which is the 10th-largest city in the nation. According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s data, the number of people met at the border has increased each month since April of 2020.

“Generally, what you see is that the up and down in the spring and summer is way high and then it goes down toward the end of fall and winter,” Tony Payan, director of the Baker Institute for Public Policy at Rice University, told Newsweek. “But the numbers now are spectacular, and we haven’t seen them in a long time.”

July’s preliminary total of 210,000 would stand as the highest in the past 20 years. And while Payan said some of these numbers might represent people crossing multiple times, it still indicates a continued surge.

As the Mexican cartels have grown in power, human smuggling has become a lager part of their business model. Above, migrants are pulled across the Rio Grande by smugglers while crossing the U.S.-Mexico border on rafts in Roma, Texas, on July 8, 2021.

In past years, demand for temporary agricultural workers dictated the shift in crossing patterns for certain seasons, with numbers elevating during the spring and tapering off by fall.

The consistent uptick in crossings since April reflect the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on the Central and South American regions. The International Rescue Committee reported that the region faces “unprecedented and growing humanitarian crisis, compounded by pandemic lockdown-induced economic slowdowns” that have coincided with rising crime and environmental disaster.

With these “push” factors continuing to worsen, Payan said the movement of migrants continues to grow. However, in addition to this real need, he said that Biden’s ending of the Migrant Protection Protocols, a rule implemented under Trump where migrants could be returned to Mexico, presented the image of a friendlier American administration.

That messaging, he said, might have inspired more people to make the journey. On top of that, Payan said Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador “refuses” to confront organized crime. He said the cartels have expanded their reach in the country, pushing some people to flee their villages. This increasing trend comes as Obrador has told the Biden administration that Mexico would not take more non-Mexicans deported under the Title 42 expulsion policy.

Economic instability exacerbated by COVID-19, rising crime and environmental disaster serve as factors that “push” people from their home countries. Above, migrants attempting to cross in to the U.S. from Mexico are detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection at the border on May 21, 2021, in San Luis, Arizona.

“This reverses a trend that began in about 2007 of decreasing Mexican asylum seekers and undocumented migrants, and so, Mexico is now a contributing a huge number of those detentions,” Payan said.

“Mr. López Obrador is probably (not cooperating with the U.S.) on purpose. He, I think, dislikes the Biden administration and, and he’s trying to put the Biden administration in a bind to gain some kind of political leverage. I’m not sure what it is and what it’s related to, but clearly Mexico is now largely uncooperative with the United States.”

As the issue grows, Payan said the Biden administration’s ability to implement immigration reform becomes hindered, with López Obrador’s actions affecting this. Payan said the cartels continue to evolve into a mafia-style organization where they’re earning money in several illegal avenues, including human smuggling.

On Tuesday, President Joe Biden announced he would continue the Trump administration’s policy of expelling people at the border under Title 42 for an indefinite period. This policy forces people back to Mexico of their home country without receiving the chance to apply for humanitarian refuge. The administration cited growing concerns around the Delta variant as its reason for the policy’s continuation.

STOLEN ELECTION: Georgia Ballots Rejected By Machines Were Later Altered By Election Workers [Democrats] To “Count”

/in , , , , , /by

Georgia ballots rejected by machines were later altered by election workers to count

Records obtained by Just the News provide unprecedented glimpse into human adjudication of thousands of ballots, where marks for candidates like Trump were sometimes removed so ballots could count for Biden.

By: John Solomon, Daniel Payne and Natalia Mittelstadt, JTN, August 9, 2021:

A day after the November election, as Donald Trump and other Republican candidates clung to evaporating leads in Georgia, vote counters in Atlanta were confronted by a paper ballot known only by its anonymizing number 5150-232-18.

A Dominion Voting machine had rejected the ballot on election night because the voter had filled in boxes for both Trump and his Democratic opponent Joe Biden, an error known as an “overvote.” The machine determined neither candidate should get a tally, and the ballot was referred for human review.

The image of the ballot, obtained by Just the News, shows the voter messily scribbled a large blob in the box to select Trump as president while also putting a thinner check mark next to Biden’s name.

At 6:10 p.m. ET on Nov. 4, 24 hours after the ballot was first scanned and rejected by Machine 5150, a panel of humans decided the vote should be awarded to Biden, with the notation “mark removed for Donald J. Trump.” You can see that ballot here:

Scores of additional ballots that same day had checks manually removed next to Trump’s name as well as many other candidates up and down the ticket — Libertarians, Democrats and write-ins alike — and the votes awarded instead to other candidates.

Welcome to the arcane process known as adjudication, where human judgment is substituted for machine scanning in cases where voters incorrectly filled out a paper ballot. Election officials and official observers have dealt with it for years, with everyday citizens mostly oblivious to the process.

But in 2020, adjudication played a much larger role in states like Georgia, which allowed hundreds of thousands of additional citizens to vote absentee for the first time during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In all, more than 5,000 of the 148,000 absentee ballots cast — or about 3% — in Georgia’s largest county required some form of human intervention, according to logs obtained from Fulton County by Just the News under an open records act request.

The adjudication ballots alone are not enough to change a Georgia election in which Biden and Trump were separated by less than 13,000 votes. However, they reveal an imperfect system vulnerable to chaos, subjectivity, or political dirty tricks, especially in a county like Fulton where state officials documented widespread irregularities and misconduct and now want to take over election counting.

Just the News reviewed 1,604 pages of adjudication logs from Fulton County and reviewed 4820 of the 5064 ballot images where human vote counters reviewed or overrode the Dominion Voting machines. The JTN review provided an unprecedented window into the extraordinary discretion accorded adjudication judges to interpret a voter’s intent on a flawed ballot.

It also raised another troubling question, at least in Georgia, where election regulations create two conflicting imperatives. One regulation, which is quoted on each absentee ballot, emphatically declares that a paper ballot should be deemed “spoiled” and uncountable if a voter makes any mistakes or unauthorized marks.

“If you make a mistake or change your mind or change your mind on a selection do not attempt to mark through the selection or attempt to erase. Write ‘Spoiled’ across the ballot and across the return envelope” and get a new ballot, language on each ballot reads.

Just the News reviewed hundreds of ballots that met the “spoiled” definition — ballots that voters had in some way altered, defaced, or corrected — that were still allowed to count after adjudication. The reason? Another Georgia regulation gives election officials broad discretion to try to determine the intent of a confused voter, and actually encourages them to find a way to make flawed ballots count.

The Georgia code stipulates that voting tabulators must be programmed to “reject any ballot, including absentee ballots, on which an overvote is detected,” with those ballots to be “manually reviewed” by a review panel following their rejection.

If a voter “has marked his or her ballot in such a manner that he or she has indicated clearly and without question the candidate for whom he or she desires to cast his or her vote,” the state code says elsewhere, then the ballot “shall be counted and such candidate shall receive his or her vote.”

Yet state law also directs that a ballot should be considered “spoiled” if, in part, a voter has used it to “cast more than the permitted number of votes.” A spoiled ballot “shall not be reinstated,” the code states, suggesting that any ballots deemed as such should not be counted.

VIDEO: Newly Released Jan. 6 Prisoner of War Says D.C. Jail Did Not Allow Him to Shave or Get a Haircut Unless He Got Vaccinated

The Democrats are going full on Nazi.

Newly Released Jan. 6 Detainee Says D.C. Jail Did Not Allow Him to Shave or Get a Haircut Unless He Got Vaccinated

By Debra Heine, American Greatness, August 9, 2021A January 6 political prisoner who was recently released from the D.C. jail, said that he was not allowed to shave or get a haircut unless he took the COVID vaccine.Jerrod Sessler, a congressional candidate from Washington, and his teenage son were shooting a video outside the “Deplorable Jail” about the Jan. 6 political prisoners, when Karl Dresch, a Michigan man who was detained for “parading” with an American flag inside the Capitol, approached him and agreed to be interviewed.Sessler began by asking Dresch about the vaccine coercion, which the newly released prisoner had apparently mentioned before camera started rolling.“One of the things you said was that they wouldn’t let you get a shave or get a haircut unless you took the vaccine?”  Sessler asked.

“Yes sir,” the bearded Dresch replied.

The requirement appears to be an abuse of the Constitution since the experimental vaccines are approved for emergency use only. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that incarcerated or detained people living in correctional and detention facilities get vaccinated against COVID-19, but it has not been mandated, and shouldn’t be coerced.

Dresch told Sessler that he refused to get vaccinated.

He said he was arrested on January 19, “bounced around Michigan for a little bit,” and was moved to a jail Oklahoma City, before being transferred to the D.C. gulag on March 9. He was released on August 8 after striking a plea deal with government prosecutors.

He said the conditions in the jail were “kinda dirty,” the food “not too good,” and until recently, inmates were locked in their cells “almost all day.” That changed after a handful of conservative Republicans—Reps Matt Gaetz R-Fla.) , Marjorie Taylor-Greene (R-Ga.), Bob Good (R-Va.), Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) and Louis Gohmert (R-Tex.)—attempted to tour the facility on July 29, and were denied admittance.

The lawmakers were initially allowed in the entrance way, and given masks, but after waiting for about seven minutes, an officer accused them of trespassing and locked them out.

“Recently they let us out a little bit more, but for months it was just an hour a day,” Dresch explained.

“It sounds like, as a result of them coming out here last week, it sounds like conditions improved a little bit inside … you started getting a little bit more time outside your cell?” Sessler asked.

“Yeah, they’re letting us out for up to five hours now,” Dresch replied. “But it took them a long time.”

He went on to note that four lawyers were barred from visiting their clients the same day the lawmakers were denied access to the facility, even though the booklet the prison hands out to inmates says lawyers are supposed to have 24/7 access to their clients.

“But it’s not like that,” he said. “They have to set up an appointment, and sometimes it gets denied. It can’t be in person unless you get the vaccine.”

Dresch told Sessler that “it’s really hard to put a defense together for a lot of guys” because they don’t have access to their attorneys.

“Sometimes it feels like judges are just making up their own laws to keep people in,” he said.

He went on to say that although he never experienced abuse from the guards, he knew of prisoners who did.

“There’s one gentleman in there, Jacob Lang, I saw him get sprayed with mace, and he wasn’t doing anything threatening,” Sessler said. “He was in his cell.”

The lawyer for another detainee, last week, appealed to Amnesty International and the American Civil Liberties Union seeking an investigation into the way his client and four other “January Sixers” were treated in the jail.

The attorney, Joseph D. McBride of New York City, said conditions in the facility are “disgusting.”

“To put it mildly the facility is disgusting. Black mold, brown drinking water, and poor ventilation are but a few of the problems with the facility itself,” McBride wrote. “The way that staff treats the detainees is brutal and denies them their civil rights. If a detainee speaks up, the guards lock everyone down. If a lawyer speaks out against the jail or the government, the guards lock everyone down. And when the jail really wants to punish, it uses COVID-19 as a cover to lock everyone down for weeks at a time. This means, at best, detainees have one hour each day out of their cells to attend to their personal needs.”

McBride said his client, Richard “Bigo” Barnett, 61, of Gravette, Arkansas, was “slammed into a concrete floor, threatened, kept in solitary confinement and denied prompt medical treatment when he thought he was having a heart attack.”

In his “emergency request” to Amnesty International and the ACLU, McBride called the facility “DC-GITMO,” a reference to the U.S. military detention camp for Islamic terrorists, in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

The prisoners’ defenders say the Trump supporters, most of whom have never been in any trouble with the law, are being treated like hardened terrorists for committing minor offenses like “trespassing,” and “parading.”

When asked about his actions on Jan. 6, Dresch said that he was able to walk through an open door into Capitol Building with a “steady stream of people,” and some Capitol Police were actually directing them toward the House of Representatives.

“Really, everyone I saw was being respectful and everything,” he said. “The only scuffling, or anything like that that I saw was all provoked by the Capitol Police.”

Dresch told Sessler that there was a line of “SWAT Team” officers lined up in front of the House, targeting protesters “to fight with.”

“We might have been chanting or carrying our flags,” Sessler explained. “Eventually they told us to leave, and we left.”

Dresch went on to say that the protest was the biggest crowd he’d ever seen, and that normally he’d be worried that being among that many people, someone might steal a wallet, or something like that.

“But it was the most friendly group,” he said.

Dresch said that he didn’t know of any cases of COVID-19 inside the jail.

The CDC recommends that prisoners in the United States get vaccinated against COVID-19 to avoid an outbreaks in correctional and detention facilities.

After Dresch noted that he didn’t talk to the FBI while in lock-up, Sessler told him that they had tried to kidnap his governor, [Gretchen Whitmer].

Dresch laughed, exclaiming “I heard about that. They got me too!”

Government documents indicate that at least 12 undercover informants played major roles in the kidnapping scheme.

According to a report last month in BuzzFeed News, court filings revealed text and audio transcripts, and more than two dozen interviews with sources close to the case that claimed that the 12 informants and undercover agents “played a far larger role” in the kidnapping plot than was previously known.

“Working in secret, they did more than just passively observe and report on the actions of the suspects. Instead, they had a hand in nearly every aspect of the alleged plot, starting with its inception,” the outlet reported, noting that the scope of their involvement “raises questions as to whether there would have even been a conspiracy without them.”

“I kinda figured that right from the beginning,” Dresch told Sessler, still laughing. “It sounded completely made up to me.”

When asked why he thought he would be arrested for just walking through an open door with an American flag, Dresch replied, “I think they kinda just wanted to silence people … I saw a lot of acts of aggression by the police, you know, provoking things, and brutality. By arresting anybody who was there, nobody wants to say, hey, I was there. I saw what happened,” he explained.

He said he saw officers deploying flashbangs into the peaceful crowd, and throwing canisters of tear gas at them from the rooftops.

Four Trump supporters died during, or shortly after the riot.

Ashli Babbitt, 35, died by homicide from a gunshot to the left shoulder, according to the Coroner’s report. She was shot by a  Lt. Mike Byrd while trying to climb through a door near the House chamber.
Kevin Greeson, 55, and Benjamin Phillips 50, both died of heart attacks. Roseanne Boyland, 34, reportedly died by accident from acute amphetamine intoxication.

“I think that’s why they’re so heavy handed,” Dresch explained. “To chill the speech.”

Protesters who witnessed the police brutality, he noted, are apt to say “I wasn’t there!” after seeing how other Trump supporters were arrested and sent to solitary confinement the “D.C. GITMO.”

How Cultural Marxists In Our Midst Are Grinding Christianity Down

/in , , , , /by

During a pre-election prayer session in support of Black Lives Matter, the pastor of St. Xavier Catholic Church in New York City instructed white congregants that they must renounce their white privilege to help “transform the church culture.” Using the noble cause of racial equality as a fig leaf, Black Lives Matter is in fact a violent political organization whose Marxist ideology is anti-American—anti-Christian—in the most profound meaning of those terms. In many churches across America, cultural Marxists in the pulpit are quietly supplanting traditional Christian values with those of the hammer and sickle.

“Cultural Marxism” is the gradual process of grinding down western democracies by subverting the pillars of their culture, the structures and institutions of family, religion, education, politics, law, the arts and the media, as they provide the social cohesion necessary to a functioning society. Challenge the legitimacy of these institutions, and a capitalist society can be overthrown from within without firing a shot. Known as the father of cultural Marxism, 20th century Italian communist Antonio Gramsci summarized his stratagem for dismantling Christian nations thusly:

“Socialism is precisely the religion that must overwhelm Christianity. Socialism will triumph by first capturing the culture via infiltration of schools, universities, churches and the media by transforming the consciousness of society.”

Gramsci referred to his stratagem as “the long march through the institutions,” i.e. infiltrating a society’s cultural institutions and gradually supplanting their traditional values and principles with those of communism. Operating via stealth and deception, Gramsci’s disciples in this country have diligently labored to grind down every cultural institution in America, including its predominant religion, Christianity.

Communism cannot flourish in a society with a strong religious footing. In his best-selling book, “The Naked Communist,”former FBI Special Agent Cleon Skousen listed 45 communist goals to subvert America from within. Two of those goals pertain to diminishing Christianity:

Goal No. 27 calls on communist warriors to infiltrate churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Revealed religion is based on Scripture; the communist concept of social religion teaches citizens to look to government, rather than God, for their daily salvation. Scriptural religion is about individual salvation; social religion is about collective salvation, a concept that does not exist in Christianity. In many churches on the religious left, the communist goal of replacing revealed religion with social religion has largely been accomplished, as evidenced by the constant refrain of religious-left pastors who sermonize about their undying commitment to the cause of “social justice.” The term refers to justice within a society that allocates wealth according to Marxism’s foremost command: “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.”

Goal No. 28 calls on communist warriors to infiltrate schools and eliminate prayer and every type of religious expression on the grounds that it violates the principle of separation of church and state.

Cultural Marxism has a simple message to Christians: sit down and shut up. In attempting to drive Christianity from the public square, cultural Marxists in our midst, nearly all of whom vote Democrat, routinely mock and ridicule Christianity and its believers. The following sacrileges were carried out by members of the entertainment industry:

  • Bill Maher began one of his programs on HBO with an attack on Christianity by comparing Holy Communion to gay sex.
  • On his nationally-syndicated radio show, Howard Stern said, “If I was president, I would have you pro-lifers gassed. I would have you marched into the ovens.”
  • Upon receiving an award for her cable reality show, comedienne Kathy Griffin said, “A lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this. No one had less to do with this award than Jesus. All I can say is suck it, Jesus.”
  • In an episode of HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” the star of the show, Larry David, urinated on a picture of Jesus.
  • In an in-your-face to Christians, the Netflix film, “The First Temptation of Christ,” portrays Jesus as a homosexual, and depicts God the Father as a lecherous seducer of women.
  • Using “diversity, equity and inclusion” as justification, cultural Marxists throughout our society regularly scold, threaten and punish Christians, as well as censor religious activities by Christians and Christian organizations:
  • Employee of major package shipper ordered on administrative leave for wearing a Christian cross on her dress while at work.
  • Christmas decorations banned at Florida’s turnpike toll booths.
  • NBC edited out “under God” from pledge of allegiance sung by children during broadcast of U.S. Open golf tournament.
  • Pentagon orders Air Force officer to remove Bible from his desk.
  • Court of Appeals upholds school district’s ban on Christmas carols.
  • The ACLU filed suit to force removal of 8-foot cross erected on remote federal land
    to honor soldiers killed in war. See video about the Mojave Desert Cross here.
  • Army warns soldiers that pro-life Christians are “tearing the country apart” and constitute a “radical threat to the nation.”
  • Obama DOJ defunds at-risk youth program after it refused to ban prayer.
  • VA hospital refuses “Merry Christmas” cards sent by 4th graders to sick and wounded veterans.
  • High school prohibits valedictorian from telling how Jesus changed his life.
  • Military base takes down Nativity scene after atheists complain.
  • Federal judge prohibits high school band from playing “How Great Thou Art.”
  • Texas school bans Christmas trees, red & green colors from holiday party due to fear of “offending others.”
  • “Introduction to Humanities” professor fails student because she refused to renounce her Christian faith.
  • University prohibits Christian club from setting up table at meet-and-greet for new students.
  • Children banned from saying ‘Merry Christmas’ at elementary school’s “Winter Party.”
  • High school prohibits students from praying together, cites “separation of church and state.”
  • University de-certifies campus Christian club for insisting on having a Christian as its leader.
  • Government tells ministry that feeds the poor to remove portrait of Jesus.
  • University’s diversity guidelines warn: “Make sure your holiday party isn’t a Christmas party in disguise.”

The above instances are but the tip of a massive iceberg aimed squarely at driving every vestige of Christianity from the public arena.

Disciples of Antonio Gramsci have infiltrated top leadership positions of every major branch of the Christian religion, including the Catholic Church. In February 2020, Pope Francis announced his support for the Global Education Pact, a United Nations-backed initiative that will usher in a “new humanism,” under which God “withdraws” so all of humankind can be “free.” Under the Pact, children of the world will be indoctrinated with social justice (Marxist) propaganda designed to pave the way for a New World Order under the banner of global communism. Operating by stealth and deception, Marxists have seized control of the Vatican in a way that went virtually unnoticed by most Catholics until after the fact, just as Gramsci planned. While pretending to do God’s bidding, Marxists in the Vatican hiding under the ecclesiastical robes of the Christian faith are knowingly subverting their professed religion from within.
