The Deadly Dystopian Designs for Humanity’s Future—Part Two

“In the face of evil, when people fail to speak out, the price of speaking out rises.  As the price to speak out rises, still fewer people speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced.  Contrarily, it follows that those who speak out make it easier for others to speak out.  Just as cowardice begets cowardice, courage begets courage.” —  Eric Metaxas, Letter to the American Church, Page 52

“Propaganda always entails Censorship…it must…it seeks to jolt you into a particular point of view…it’s neurological manipulation…the counter narrative must be vilified…” — Professor Mark Miller

“Only the mob and the elite can be attracted by the momentum of totalitarianism itself. The masses have to be won by propaganda.” — Hannah Arendt

“It’s not how you play the game, but whether your opponent ends up dismembered in the woods.” —  Mitch Rapp, Vince Flynn’s hero in his books, now written by Kyle Mills

“The ultimate test of a moral society is the kind of world that it leaves to its children.”— Dietrich Bonhoeffer

“In 1933, Brown-shirted Nazis swarmed into local church leadership elections and installed new ‘German Christian’ leaders. While a minority of Protestant churches resisted, forming the anti-Nazi ‘Confessing Church,’ (that Dietrich Bonhoeffer belonged to) most were effectively compromised.

“Active, organized resistance to the Nazi state would not erupt until June, 1942, when a group of Munich students began an 8-month leafleting and graffiti campaign that would end with their arrest and execution. They are remembered, not only for their courage, but for the silence of all those who should have risen to their defense.”

White Rose International, founded in 1997, exists to inform and educate the public about the ethical foundations of civil liberty, and to recognize the lives and sacrifices of the members of the White Rose.

It was Sophie Scholl, her brother and their friends who started the non-violent, actually passive, campaign with leaflets of truth being spread throughout Munich.  They named their efforts, The White Rose because the symbol of the white rose was intended to represent purity and innocence in the face of evil.

Where are today’s rebels?  We again face evil, this time worldwide.

Like Sgt. Schultz of Hogan’s Heroes, “I see nothing, I know nothing.”

Deep State political vipers with their honeyed lies are like monkeys throwing feces at each other, never coming to a consensus of what is best for the people they represent.  Their grandiose talk is theatre for the dumbed down Americans, but nothing changes. Instead, their own pockets are lined with the lucre of corruption and backroom deals, deals made with the worst enemies of our nation.

Author Jack Carr, U.S. Navy SEAL on August 6th, 2017, Park City, Utah, wrote the following in his first book, The Terminal List:

“The consolidation of power at the federal level, not to mention state legislatures, in the guise of public safety, is a national trend and should be guarded against at all costs.  This erosion of rights, however incremental, is the slow death of freedom.

“We’ve reached the point where the power of the federal government is such that they can essentially target anyone of their choosing.  Recent allegations that government agents may have targeted political opponents should alarm all Americans regardless of party affiliation.

“Revisionist views of the constitution by opportunistic politicians and unelected judges with agendas that reinterpret the Bill of Rights to take power away from the people and consolidate it at the federal level threaten the core principles of the Republic.

“As a free people, keeping federal power in check is something that should be of concern to us all. The fundamental value of freedom is what sets us apart from the rest of the world.  We are citizens, not subjects, and we must stay vigilant that we remain so.”

I am fearful of what is coming next to our people and their children, not because I don’t rest in our Creator and understand fully that He is and always will be in charge, but because the people are ignorant of the evil, and are unprepared to fight for their lives.

Luck is the residue of preparation, and the preparation by the enemies of this nation has long been in the fire of national destruction.

Who has risen to humanity’s defense?

Dystopian Designs

I have no idea who the lady is in this video, but she explains that FEMA is not here to help us. They are part of the program.  Then, Pompeo states that the Covid pandemic was part of a “live exercise,” (a military exercise).  And Trump, who is standing next to him, asks, “Why didn’t you tell us?”  That’s a good question considering Pompeo was Trump’s Secretary of State.  And so, when is the real plan going to happen?  We know another virus is already in the works.

A year ago, Bill Gates told us, “that the risks of severe disease from Covid-19 have “dramatically reduced” but another pandemic is all but certain.”

Yes, and Big Pharma is apparently helping Gates and the stakeholders to create one.  Quite obviously the Covid “live exercise” was more than profitable and successful in frightening the public into kneeling to the tyrannical demands of governments, local, state and federal.

That scenario is all but guaranteed with the latest expose by James O’Keefe of Project Veritas.  Jordon Trishton Walker, Pfizer Director of Research and Development, Strategic Operations – mRNA Scientific Planner: “One of the things we’re exploring is like, why don’t we just mutate it [COVID] ourselves so we could create — preemptively develop new vaccines, right? So, we have to do that. If we’re gonna do that though, there’s a risk of like, as you could imagine — no one wants to be having a pharma company mutating f**king viruses.”

Walker called this “directed evolution” rather than “Gain of Function.”  Same difference, new euphemistic sounding words.

But the real key to the interview was the fact that Walker explained how Big Pharma and government officials, such as the Food & Drug Administration (FDA), have mutual interests, and how that is not in the best interest of the American people.

Walker explained that in the pharma industry, “all the people who review our drugs — eventually most of them will come work for pharma companies. And in the military, defense government officials eventually work for defense companies afterwards.”  Like Alex Azar, who came out of Eli Lilly and was our Health and Human Services Secretary under Trump. Granted he was replaced by Pence, but Pence has deep connections to Eli Lilly of Indiana as well.

Food

The future of food is certainly not pretty.  Thanks, but no thanks to lab grown meat, fake eggs and crickets.

If the C-19 injections and boosters don’t kill off the intended number of American citizens, there’s always a planned food shortage and starvation that will mimic Mao Tse-Tung’s human cost of his Great Leap Forward.  It’s been creeping up on us for many years now.

At least 130 of America’s food production and processing plants have been damaged or destroyed in the last two years.  Just recently 100,000 chickens died in a fire at a Connecticut farm, one of the largest egg producers in the country.  Eggs are at an all-time high across the country.  Another 500,000 chickens were killed allegedly because of bird flu.  As reported on Tucker Carlson’s show, purposely poisoned chicken feed keeps the hens from laying eggs until the feed is changed…someone needs to do some investigations here.  Chicken will be at an all-time high very soon.  Interesting enough, a company backed by Bill Gates has created fake eggs and mayo.

Why get rid of the real for fake?

Gates has amassed nearly 270,000 acres of American farmland.  Jeff Bezos of Amazon fame owns 420,000 acres of America’s farmland.  China owns 192,000 acres of our farmland.  Residential real estate is increasingly owned by financial firms like asset manager Blackrock and investment firm Blackstone, which look at land as a direct investment. Industrial farming has replaced healthy local farmers.

Gates has a personal interest in eugenics and depopulation.  Bill Gates Sr. was the head of eugenics group Planned Parenthood.  America’s wealthiest elite played a significant role in the advancement of Eugenics.  People such as Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford, J.P. Morgan, John Harvey Kellogg, Warren Buffett, Procter & Gamble and the Rockefellers have all donated millions for Eugenics based research.  By the 1930s, many of the wealthiest people in the world were members of the American Eugenics Society.  Billionaires are focusing their money into large population control projects such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

China has an interest in feeding their own people as well as owning America.  America’s colleges and universities are riddled with China’s Confucius Institutes. Massachusetts Institute of Technology is 25% Chinese students which is big money. They own our banks, our hotels, our businesses.  They are in all of our biolabs and they steal everything we create.  They produce nearly all of what America now buys in retail stores, not to mention most all of our antibiotics.  Bill Gates believes countries like China should play a bigger role in world governance.

Which U.S. Congress voted to allow foreign countries, especially communist countries, to buy our businesses, our land and properties like the Waldorf-Astoria?

And which President signed this?  Or was it done incrementally?

Encroaching Plans

I have an idea of what is coming next, should the COVID injections and then starvation not succeed quickly or thoroughly enough with the depopulation numbers required by the “stake holders.”

Dr. Paul Marik has told us, “It’s the spike protein.”  It’s not graphene oxide, it’s not live things in the vials, it is certainly not the fraudulent snake-venom promoted by narcissist Dr. Bryan Ardis and the newest video host, Beef Stew Peters. Dr. Pierre Kory has proven that.

It is the deadly spike protein that enters every organ in the body and the blood of those who took the jabs.

Dr. Pierre Peterson from America’s Frontline Doctors has a short video telling us what has happened in France and is also happening in the United States.  If you’ve taken the jabs, your family very likely will not be able to collect life insurance inasmuch as you have submitted to an experimental drug, i.e., the Covid jabs, and as such, that is considered suicide should you die from those drugs.

Listen to Dr. Pierre Peterson from America’s Frontline Doctors.

The Covid “vaccine” plans of the stakeholders were thwarted in several ways.  First by those who refused to take the injections, secondly by improper manufacturing and transport which failed to keep the vials cold enough.  This resulted in many injections being duds.

Oh yes, American citizens fell in line, and surely the stakeholders were gleeful…Bill Gates, Fauci, the FDA, CDC, NIH, AMA, JAMA, Lancet, NEJM, mainstream and conservative media (who were paid to promote the jabs) and of course every facet of our federal government who was in on the plan.  They laughed with glee at those who donned the masks, stayed inside, lost their businesses and livelihoods, and they loved the “mask Nazis” who accosted those who refused to follow the tyrannical orders of the totalitarians in charge.  They knew they had won.

If only we had not complied!

The next attack will be bigger yet and more deadly.

And if that doesn’t work, the final attack will take out 300 million Americans while the power elite hide in their underground bunkers.

From the Devil’s Pantry

Electromagnetic pulse. (EMP) What is that?  Well, it can be caused by man or nature, geomagnetic disturbance (GMD).  Either has the potential to disrupt and permanently damage electrical components and entire systems within most critical infrastructure sectors and impact large-scale infrastructure.  There are actual EMP hardening standards for military applications, but they are often too case-specific, expensive and impractical for the private sector to implement.  Very little action by the federal government has been done to address the threat, despite it having the potential to affect the nation at large.

The cost has been estimated at $3 to $5 billion for upgrading and securing the grid, which will protect the nation, but not one president in our recent past, nor any congress critter has even suggested spending $5 billion to protect the nation from a catastrophe. Yep, $5 billion was way too much money to build the southern border wall, but $150 billion isn’t too much to hand over to the corrupt fascist nation of Ukraine.

So, instead of fixing a problem that could wipe out 300 million Americans, they ignore it, waiting for it to happen so that their depopulation goals can be met.

Federal Examiner’s February 3rd article, Dry run: Balloons called top ‘delivery platform’ for nuclear EMP attack brings the reality of an EMP strike home to the public.  It is doubtful however, that many will pay attention.

Culture of Death

Since the days of Malthus (1766-1834), our nation has promoted the overpopulation culture of lies.  Should an EMP happen, heat, air conditioning, water, and finally natural gas would be unavailable. Water allows sanitation, but without it, disease would spread, and there’d be no medical personnel available.  People would freeze or die of heat stroke.

Communication would be impossible. Any of the newer vehicles will no longer run as electronics would be worthless.  Pumping gas would be tricky; it could be siphoned, but where would you go with all the vehicles dead on the roads?

Restaurants would give away their food rather than have it spoil; the grocery stores would be ransacked and in short order emptied.  All of the industrial farms would be shut down as machinery wouldn’t run; they are 98% of food production.  Cattle, pigs, chickens, and other livestock would die for lack of feed and water.  Only 2% of our food production is in the hands of old-time family farmers/ranchers, and they’d be quickly raided.

FEMA and DHS would have no way to help and the first responders would run out of supplies almost immediately.

Other nations could ship supplies, but there would be no one at the docks to unload and no way to disperse before it spoiled.

Civil unrest would be tantamount to Antifa and BLM riots all over the country, theft and murder on a huge scale.

We are a country of 331 million people, and the estimates of destruction would take out at least 300 million.  We were 327 million but four million illegal invaders have been added to our count, and many of them are gang members and criminals.

Could this happen?  The federal government has not protected the grid from an EMP strike.  Why not?

Hierarchy Saved, Citizens Die

Of course, should an EMP strike happen to America, the military and civilian hierarchy will head for Mt. Weather in Virginia, an underground facility.  Mt. Weather Emergency Operations Center is run by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).  So, in case of national disaster these people will play a role in the “Continuity of Government,” yes, saving the lives of the perpetrators.

There’s also Raven Rock built in Raven Rock Mountain near Camp David, in Blue Ridge Summit, Pennsylvania to house the military as a backup to the Pentagon. “Since September 11, 2001, Congress has intensified their interest in and funding of top secret ‘Continuity of Government’ in ways not seen since the Cold War.”  Hmmm…we no longer wonder why.  Raven Rock by Garrett Graff is the story of the government’s secret plans to save itself should catastrophe strike.

Here is the list of the various safe havens for military and government hierarchy.  There are none for America’s citizens.

Conclusion

As we’ve read countless times before, the scenario we lived through for three years was planned at least a decade in advance, if not longer.  Looking at the big picture, the fear tactics of the despots worked as easily as the Nazi propaganda against the Jewish people. Americans fell for it, hook, line and sinker.

Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia were two sides of the same coin.  Death became the culture.

Governors and Mayors were certainly overjoyed to wield the whip of despotic control over their constituents by demanding their faces be covered, their businesses closed, churches locked, and families kept apart.  The first amendment was under the boot of that two-sided coin.

Should an EMP happen to America, the elite will live for a year in their hidey holes while the rest of us scramble to survive.

“If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.” Samuel Adams

One of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s famous quotes is, “ Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak.  Not to act is to act.”

“The ultimate test of a moral society is the kind of world that it leaves to its children.”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Where are our non-violent White Rose rebels?  Where are those whose blood coursed with the love of freedom?

Take to your knees only to pray.  History screams out to us to remember!

We must be silent no more!

A Brief History of California’s Eugenics Program (1909-2013)

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

After decades of forced sterilizations followed by feeble apologies, California is shifting to the endgame of its century-long sterilization program: taxing innocent citizens to pay off its victims.

It is a commonsense view that government spending is generally inefficient compared to spending by private people and businesses. As the Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman famously argued, “Nobody spends somebody else’s money as carefully as he spends his own. Nobody uses somebody else’s resources as carefully as he uses his own. So if you want efficiency and effectiveness, if you want knowledge to be properly utilized, you have to do it through the means of private property.”

This point about economic efficiency may be true, but it often lets government officials off the hook far too easy. A chilling example of this is how California is currently dealing with its long history of forcing sterilization on unwilling victims and then legislatively immunizing themselves from responsibility.

If you were a taxpayer in the Golden State as recently as 2010, your earnings probably helped fund the forced sterilizations of hundreds of inmates such as the Native American woman Moonlight Pulido.

“While in prison in 2005, Pulido said a doctor told her he needed to remove two ‘growths’ that could be cancer,” the Associated Press reported earlier this month. “She signed a form and had surgery. Later, something didn’t feel right. She was constantly sweating and not feeling like herself. She asked a nurse, who told her she had had a full hysterectomy, a procedure that removes the uterus and the cervix, and sometimes other parts of the reproductive system.”

“I felt like less than a woman,” Pulido told reporter Adam Beam. “We’re the only life-givers, we’re the only ones that can give life and he stole that blessing from me.”

Pulido was not alone. Other victims of this ghoulish policy shared stories with media, including Kimberly Jeffrey, who recalled resisting a tubal ligation procedure while she was sedated and strapped to an operating table.

“Being treated like I was less than human produced in me a despair,” Jeffrey told NPR.

Kelli Dillon, a former inmate at Central California women’s facility, explained how she found out that her ovaries had been removed in 2001 without her knowledge or consent after she was told surgeons were going to take a biopsy and remove a cyst.

“It was like my life wasn’t worth anything. Somebody felt I had nothing to contribute to the point where they had to find this sneaky and diabolical way to take my ability to have children,” Dillon told the Guardian in 2021.

It was not until years later, while still a member of the California State prison system, that Dillon began to realize other inmates were receiving hysterectomies and sterilization procedures without their knowledge, often after being told the procedures “were necessary to look for cancers or correcting gynecological issues.”

If the perpetrators of these violations were held accountable for their actions, such atrocities would be less likely to happen. But instead of being brought to justice for their malfeasance, the California State government is forcing innocent people to pay the price and getting off virtually scott free themselves. It is this sort of application for the expropriation of funds from private and productive citizens that has allowed governments to terrorize their citizens since time immemorial—a pattern that will have no reason to end until measures have been taken to eliminate the power of governments to enact such cruel legislation.

Timeline: California’s Forced Sterilization

1909: The state government of California created a sterilization program that became the largest eugenics movement in the United States, sterilizing more than 20,000 unwilling victims and also inspiring eugenics practices in Nazi Germany. The practices were carried out in public hospitals and other tax-funded institutions for the disabled and mentally ill, because people with disabilities or mental illnesses were deemed unfit for reproduction.

1927: By now the eugenics movement had become mainstream in the United States. It was widely thought among elite American policymakers that the human population could be improved by coercively preventing the reproduction of disliked demographics such as the disabled, the poor, the “feebleminded,” and even people deemed “sexual deviants” such as rapists, prostitutes, or even women who had sex out of wedlock. California’s constitutional right to continue its eugenics practices was enshrined by the United States Supreme Court in the Buck v. Bell case, in which the right of the state of Virginia to sterilize Carrie Buck (who the state falsely declared “feebleminded”) against her will was upheld—and with it the rights of other state governments to make similar decisions for their inhabitants.

Writing for the majority, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. (considered an idol of “progressivism” in his time and still by some today) stated, “It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime, or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes.”

And thus, he concluded in a famous line that, “Three generations of imbeciles are enough.”

1968-1974: Although the eugenics movement had peaked in the 1930s, California government officials oversaw continued tax-funded sterilizations into the later half of the 20th century. For example, according to an official document released by Los Angeles County five years ago apologizing for a series of sterilizations county officials had overseen between 1968 and 1974, “Over 200 women who delivered babies at the Los Angeles County+USC Medical Center, the majority of whom were low income and born in Mexico, were possibly coerced into getting postpartum tubal ligations. At least some of the women were not aware they had been sterilized, and only learned that they had lost their reproductive rights during subsequent doctors’ visits. It is significant and necessary to acknowledge the irreparable harm inflicted onto the women who were subjected to these coerced sterilizations at Los Angeles County+USC Medical Center, and to their families.“

1979: California’s eugenics laws were repealed, supposedly ending the practice of state-funded eugenics in CA.

1999 – 2010: California’s eugenics movement was mysteriously revived, but this time under the guise of prison healthcare. According to the Associated Press less than two years ago, “Sterilizations in California prisons appear to date to 1999, when the state changed its policy for unknown reasons to include a sterilization procedure known as “tubal ligation” as part of inmates’ medical care. Over the next decade, women reported they were coerced into this procedure, with some not fully understanding the ramifications.”

2003: While the California government was still funding involuntary sterilizations in their state prisons, California Governor Gray Davis apologized on behalf of “the people of California” for the government’s “past” eugenicist actions. “To the victims and their families of this past injustice, the people of California are deeply sorry for the suffering you endured over the years,” the apology read. “Our hearts are heavy for the pain caused by eugenics. It was a sad and regrettable chapter in the state’s history, and it is one that must never be repeated again.”

2013: The Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR, now Reveal) discovered that between 1997 and 2010 California state officials spent at least $147,460 of taxpayer funds to sterilize 148 female inmates. The above-quoted Moonlight Pulido, Kimberly Jeffrey, and Kelli Dillon were just three among them. Many of the records of these sterilizations were “lost or destroyed,” the Associated Press reports. NPR notes that the true number of illicit sterilizations during that period may have been significantly higher than reported, and that the operations appeared to disproportionately target repeat offenders.

The CIR’s claims were denied by the few state officials who commented in this early phase of the scandal. Valley State Prison’s former OB-GYN Dr. James Heinrich claimed that all sterilized inmates had consented to the operations. He even justified this use of tax dollars in a way that seemed to echo Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.’s disregard for the value of human life back in 1927. “Over a 10-year period, [$147,460] isn’t a huge amount of money compared to what you save in welfare paying for these unwanted children — as they procreated more,” Heinrich said according to NPR.

2014: Prompted by the CIR’s findings, auditors conducted their own investigation to confirm or disconfirm the CIR’s claims. “A state audit found 144 women were sterilized between 2005 and 2013 with little or no evidence they were counseled or offered alternative treatments,” the audit found. The auditors’ report, published at www.auditor.ca.gov, found that the misconduct had occurred with the oversight of either the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation or California Correctional Health Care Services.

“This report concludes that during our eight-year audit period, 144 female inmates were sterilized by a procedure known as bilateral tubal ligation, a surgery generally performed for the sole purpose of sterilization,” the auditors wrote.

Later that year, in response to the revelations, California Governor Jerry Brown signed a bill supposedly written to prohibit future involuntary sterilizations in California prisons. However, as reporting from the Guardian noted, “While the bill passed unanimously, its carefully negotiated language allowed the state to escape further responsibility.”

2021: The California government approved legislation intended to compensate its sterilization victims through tax-funded reparations payments. The program will pay out at least $15,000 to any applicant who can prove to have been one of the victims.

2022-2023: California is searching for the victims that are still alive today, of which there are believed to be more than 600, according to reporting from the Associated Press in 2021 (although many of the victims never knew what was done to them, so it is unclear how they would know to apply for reparations). The government’s search strategy consists of sending posters, flyers, and fact sheets to libraries, prisons, and other establishments across the state, the AP reported this month.

After a year of searching, the government has approved only 51 out of 310 reparations applicants, denied 103 people’s applications, and closed three incomplete applications. According to the AP, “They say it’s difficult to verify the applications as many records have been lost or destroyed.” Therefore, according to Executive Officer of the California Victim Compensation Board Lynda Gledhill, “We try to find all the information we can and sometimes we just have to hope that somebody maybe can find more detailed information on their own. We’re just sometimes not able to verify what happened.”

Of the 51 victims who have been approved for reparations payments, three were sterilized under California’s eugenics laws that were repealed in 1979. The rest were sterilized more recently.

2024: The $4.5 million reparations program, for which an additional $2 million is being spent on advertising, will end.

Any victims still unpaid will have lost their chance to be compensated for the damages to their bodies, sexual identities, human dignity, and potential to pass their genes onto future generations.

The “public servants” governing California appropriated funds from innocent citizens against their will, used those funds to capture and sterilize involuntary victims, “lost or destroyed” the associated records, passed legislation to protect themselves from responsibility (after being caught), finally decided to pay reparations but passed the cost onto unwilling innocent citizens instead of facing any financial or legal repercussions themselves, and have only paid 51 out of at least 600 living victims now that about half the term of the reparations program has passed.

The above history of self-serving legislation and empty apologies confirms the suspicion common sense should lead us to anyway—namely that California government institutions cannot be trusted to legislatively protect the citizenry from continued atrocities given that the atrocities in question are often perpetrated by the government institutions themselves.

When unjustified coercion is consistently used by a group of people, the way to stop them is to impose costs on the guilty individuals that they themselves must suffer until their transgressions are atoned for. It is good that (albeit grossly inadequate) reparations are being paid, but until the perpetrators of the crimes are the ones to pay the price, the crucial lessons will not be learned and the crucial incentives not imposed.

There are several destructive institutions that allowed these eugenics operations to take place, but among them is the practice of government taxation itself. It allowed the perpetrators to conduct their operations without incurring personal expense, and through taxation the innocent many are now being scapegoated to protect the guilty few from what punishments they might otherwise be forced by the outrage of the public to endure.

If the perpetrators of these crimes against humanity aren’t going to be jailed for life or otherwise severely punished as any private citizen likely would for committing the same offenses, then at the very least the citizens who involuntarily pay their salaries and fund the programs of their twisted imaginations could be struggling to end the forced involvement of the citizenry that finances such programs with their tax payments.

If your tax dollars were spent solely to improve the health, education, and protection from violence of your fellow countrymen, instead of often funding the exact opposite of all these things as has been the case in California, then opposing the predation of tax collectors would not be quite so urgent. But in the real world, those malevolent enough (or those sufficiently under the sway of malevolent ideas) to think they should get to spend your money against your will often turn out to be malevolent in many other ways as well.

There are plenty of reasons one might struggle against government taxation. Perhaps you’re a poor or middle-class laborer at pains to afford your childrens’ education. Perhaps you’re a visionary entrepreneur trying to fund some world-changing new technological or medical research.

But at least as good a reason as any to oppose your wealth being confiscated is to prevent institutions such as the California State government from spending another dime on their campaigns of terror and reproductive destruction.

‘Child Abuse’: Trump Presents Plan to Stop ‘Mutilation of Our Youth’ in the Name of Transgender Identity

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

In the buildup to the 2024 presidential election, former President Donald Trump has begun laying out his campaign platform.

On Wednesday, the former president released a video condemning the radical Left’s gender ideology and plans to protect children from experimental transgender surgeries and procedures.

“The left-wing gender insanity being pushed on our children is an act of child abuse, very simple,” the former president began. “Here’s my plan to stop the chemical, physical, and emotional mutilation of our youth.”

Trump called for the rescinding President Joe Biden’s “gender-affirming care” policies, which involve putting children on “puberty blockers,” transforming their bodies through cross-sex hormones, and committing surgeries on minors.

Trump plans to replace this program with an executive order to cease all federal programs that promote gender transitioning at any age. He also plans to urge Congress to stop taxpayer-funded gender transition surgeries and ban minor sex surgeries in all 50 states.

“I will declare that any hospital or health care provider that participates in the chemical or physical mutilation of minor youth will no longer meet federal health and safety standards for Medicaid and Medicare and will be terminated from the program immediately,” Trump continued. “Furthermore, I will support the creation of a private right of action for victims to sue doctors who have unforgivably performed these surgeries on minor children.”

Trump also plans to use the Department of Justice to investigate pharmaceutical companies’ potential cover-up of minor sex-transition surgeries for profit and the marketing of unlicensed drugs to children.

“My Department of Education will inform states and school districts that if any teacher or school official suggests to a child that they can be trapped in the wrong body, they will be faced with severe consequences, including potential civil rights violations for sex discrimination and the elimination of federal funding,” Trump said. “As part of our new credential body for teachers, we will promote positive education about the nuclear family, the roles of mothers and fathers, and celebrating rather than erasing the things that make men and women different and unique.”

Trump will also urge Congress to pass legislation that affirms there are only two genders, enforce Title IX to ensure men are not participating in women’s sports, and stop any individual changing a minor’s sex without informing the child’s parents.

“No serious country should be telling its children that they were born with the wrong gender, a concept that was never heard of in all of human history,” Trump added. “It was all when the radical Left invented it, just a few years ago.”

Trump concluded the video by promising to end the “madness” of transgenderism, once and for all.

Rise of a Global Cult of Charlatans

Charlatan (shär′lə-tən) noun — A person who makes elaborate, fraudulent, and often voluble [twisted] claims to skill or knowledge; a quack or fraud.

“A basic problem for people in politics is that approximately none have the hard skills necessary to distinguish great people from charlatans.” — Dominic Mckenzie Cummings, British political strategist.

“Over the generations, black leaders have ranged from noble souls to shameless charlatans.” — Thomas Sowell, American author, economist, and political commentator.

“Science is basically an inoculation against charlatans.” — Neil deGrasse Tyson, American astrophysicist, author, and science communicator.

In the book On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft American horror, supernatural fiction, suspense, crime, science-fiction, and fantasy novel author Stephen King wrote,

“Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times, shame on both of us.”

It has come to our attention that there are a growing number of influential charlatans in this world.

Interestingly there are forty-two synonyms for charlatan: fraud, sham, fake, pretender, mountebank, quack, misleader, deceiver, faker, impostor, phony, imposter, fakir, hoaxer, phoney, counterfeiter, actor, humbug, operator, quacksalver, ringer, dissembler, trickster, swindler, poseur, imitator, sharper, impersonator, copycat, fraudster, mimic, skinner, bluffer, scammer, scamster, defrauder, dodger, feigner, duper, cozener, sharpy, sharpie.

There’s almost as many synonyms for charlatan as there are personal pronouns. Get my drift?

Charlatans come in all ages, of all ethnicities, political persuasions, genders (of course we know there are only two of those, unless you are a charlatan), religions, professions, societies and cultures.

Charlatans have become so numerous and invasive in everyone’s lives as to become a cult.

We have gone from the 1960s and the dawning of the age of Aquarius to the 2020s and the dawning of the age of the Charlatans.

Cult of Charlatanism

One cannot avoid reading, watching, listening to those who are charlatans. It’s impossible to avoid them and their cult in today’s cyber-connected world.

It almost seems as if they have learned their horrors, supernatural fictions, suspense’s, crimes, science-fictions, and fantasies from Stephen King.

From the world is going to end unless we stop cows from flatulating, to you must get multiple Covid booster shots to save mankind.

While there are many offenders the most egregious charlatans are those who have power. Power to force others to do things that they know are wrong. This power allows these charlatans to recruit new members into their cult of charlatans.

The cult of charlatanism is designed to create new charlatans by indoctrinating them at the youngest of ages to believe what is false, fake, phony, etc.

You see, in order to gain and keep power, the charlatan must have a growing number of charlatans who not only fall for their scams but actually believe and promote these scams.

At some point the charlatans take over a nation state, start wars, imprison those who don’t fall for their myths, lies and untruths.

Remember the dire warning about charlatans contained in 2 Corinthians 11:13-15:

For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.

At a certain point the charlatan becomes first a tyrant, then a dictator, and finally a genocidal mass murderer.

You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.

Some in this world are waking up and fighting back against the charlatans. We’re on the side of the anti-charlatans.

But that is a discussion for another column.

20 State AGs: Abortion-by-Mail Scheme Is Unsafe, Illegal

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

Distributing abortion pills through the mail is unsafe and illegal under both federal and state law, wrote Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey and the attorneys general of 19 other states, in letters to the headquarters of national pharmacy chains CVS and Walgreens. Both companies are seeking certification from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to dispense abortion pills through the mail. “We will use every tool at our disposal to uphold the law if broken,” said Bailey.

The Missouri attorney general was joined on the letters by the attorneys general of Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and West Virginia.”

“Federal law expressly prohibits using the mail to send or receive any drug that will ‘be used or applied for producing abortion.’ 18 U.S.C. § 1461,” state the letters (the bodies of which are identical). “The text could not be clearer: ‘every article or thing designed, adapted, or intended for producing abortion … shall not be conveyed in the mails.’ And anyone who ‘knowingly takes any such thing from the mails for the purpose of circulating’ is guilty of a federal crime.”

While the law is clear, the letters suggested the confusion originated from another source. “In December, the Biden administration’s Office of Legal Counsel encouraged the U.S. Postal Service to disregard this plain text.”

“But,” continue the letters, “the text, not the Biden administration’s view, is what governs. And the Biden administration’s opinion fails to stand up even to the slightest amount of scrutiny. The Biden administration’s opinion admits that the plain text of § 1461 prohibits using the mail to send or receive any drug that will be used for abortion …. But then the Biden administration argues that the text should not be ‘“[t]aken literally”’ by “marshalling a series of increasingly strange antitextual arguments.”

Because of the weakness of the Biden administration’s opinion, pharmacy giants cannot protect themselves from legal liability by hiding behind its opinion, the letters warn. The AGs predicted that courts will “reject the Biden administration’s bizarre interpretation” because “courts do not lightly ignore the plain text of statutes.” In particular, “the Supreme Court has been openly aversive to other attempts by the Biden administration to press antitextual arguments.”

Additionally, “a future U.S. Attorney General will almost certainly reject the Biden administration’s results-oriented, strained reading.” A simple change of administration — guaranteed every four to eight years — would leave the abortion pill-by-mail infrastructure out in the cold.

But “consequences for accepting the Biden administration’s reading could come far sooner,” the letters warn. “Section 1461 can be enforced … through civil litigation by State Attorneys General and private parties under § 1964(c).” In other words, these state AGs have threatened to sue CVS and Walgreens if they follow through on their intention to become abortion dispensaries.

In addition to the violation of federal law, “the laws of many states also prohibit using the mail to send or receive abortion drugs,” continue the letters. Using the example of Missouri, not only is it “unlawful to distribute an abortion drug through the mail,” but also “Missouri law also prohibits unfair or deceptive trade practices — and trade practices that violate federal law necessarily are unfair and deceptive.” This prohibition on unfair or deceptive trade practices is far more difficult to dodge or challenge in court, and it is likely paralleled in the laws of other states.

The letters justified Missouri’s state-level prohibition by explaining that abortion pills are unsafe. First, they “are far riskier than surgical abortions, … ‘5.96 times as likely to result in a complication as first-trimester aspiration

abortions.’” Second, “when these heightened complications invariably occur, women suffer those harms at home, away from medical help.” Third, “mail-order abortion pills also invite the horror of an increase in coerced abortions … because there is no oversight. Outside the regulated medical context, a person can obtain an abortion pill quite easily and then coerce a woman into taking it.”

CVS and Walgreens have come under increasing pressure after they announced plans to obtain FDA certification to dispense abortion pills. Earlier this month, 14 pro-life groups wrote letters to both pharmacy corporations, urging them to reconsider. Meanwhile, other pharmacies, like Walmart, are waiting in the wings to see whether the decision backfires.

Autopsy Analysis of 2 Teen Boys Who Died Days After 2d Pfizer Covid Vaccine

Mass murder is what it is.

Autopsy analysis of 2 teen boys who died days after 2d Pfizer Covid-19 shot

By Sharyl Attkisson, January 31, 2023:

Autopsies were conducted on two teenage boys, one in Connecticut and one in Michigan, who died within a few days of their second dose of Pfizer’s Covid vaccine. One boy had ADD and the other was obese. The post death examinations showed that both had “global myocardial injury.”

We report the autopsy results, including microscopic myocardial findings, of 2 teenage boys who died within the first week after receiving the second Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 dose. The microscopic findings are not the alterations seen with typical myocarditis. This suggest a role for cytokine storm, which may occur with an excessive inflammatory response, as there also is a feedback loop between catecholamines and cytokines…The first week after the second vaccine dose was found to be the main risk window.”
The Archives of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine published an analysis of results, Aug. 2022

U.S. Approves First Small Modular Nuclear Reactor

/in , , , , , , /by

Believe it or not, America took a baby step toward energy sanity with federal approval of the first small modular nuclear reactor design.

With efficient hydrocarbon energy under siege, and intermittent wind and solar unable to sustain the power grid, nuclear energy has never been more needed.

GE quickly announced that it signed a contract to build the first North American reactor in Darlington, Ontario.

Modular reactors can be built at manufacturing sites and then transported to their place of installation.  The reactors are rated to produce up to 300 megawatts of 24/7, clean, reliable electricity.  The reliability factor makes the reactors sorely needed wherever wind and solar leave the grid flickering and politics is interfering with the use of natural gas.  This is particularly important as battery storage of wind and solar energy continues to prove neither affordable, nor practical. Nuclear energy also emits zero CO2 (if that’s your thing).

The Nuclear Energy Institute posted that, “small modular reactors provide enhanced levels of safety, the ability to match electricity generation with demand, and the ability to be deployed in diverse applications and places.”  These reactors will be useful not only to support the power grid, but in locations remote from the grid.

Nuclear energy leaves Green groups sharply divided.  For many years anti-nuclear advocacy has been an essential bread and butter issue for the Greens who fund raised off it relentlessly, and succeeded in shutting down numerous, already built and paid for, nuclear plants.  Then the Green catechism shifted to emissions reductions, making nuclear energy king for those not willing to shut down society.  Those making their fortunes from wind and solar subsidies are as terrified of nuclear’s advantages as they have been of natural gas.

CFACT applauds the approval of small modular nuclear reactors.  We will work to ensure that the public is continually educated about the need for an economy based on energy reality.

Antifa link casts Jane’s Revenge attacks on pro-life centers in radical new light

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

Editor’s Note – This piece by Valerie Richardson features quotes from CSP Director for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, Kyle Shideler.

Dozens of pro-life pregnancy centers have been terrorized for months by a radical pro-choice outfit calling itself Jane’s Revenge, but now it looks as if the previously unknown group is entwined with a more significant threat: Antifa.

Antifa trackers and conservative media outlets linked two Miami residents charged with conspiracy in attacks on crisis pregnancy centers in Florida to the shadowy anarchist movement after the Justice Department unsealed the federal indictment last week.

One of the suspects, 23-year-old Amber Smith-Stewart, has made no secret of her Antifa sympathies. She has identified herself as “Antifa, anti-capitalist” on her Facebook page, which includes images of pro-Antifa posters and flags from a screenshot posted on the AntifaWatch website.

The second suspect, 27-year-old Caleb Freestone, is listed on AntifaWatch and has been active with Whatever It Takes, a left-wing pro-choice group with no love for “fascists” that advocates for “sustained civil resistance” and “direct action.”

He was arrested in July at a heated Miami-Dade County school board meeting and charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest without violence and trespassing after a warning. A woman at the meeting publicly accused him of being with Antifa, which he appeared to deny.

“People who are accused of being the boogeyman Antifa are met with a significant police response,” Mr. Freestone told WLRN public radio.

The two are accused in June attacks on a trio of pregnancy resource centers in Hialeah, Hollywood and Winter Haven. Vandals left behind spray-painted messages such as “Jane,” “Jane was here” and “Jane’s Revenge,” as well as the anarchist “A” symbol favored by Antifa.

That doesn’t mean Antifa and Jane’s Revenge are the same, but they likely share much of the same personnel, said Kyle Shideler, senior analyst for homeland security and counterterrorism for the Center for Security Policy.

He described both as examples of anarchist and autonomist Marxist groups organized by affinity groups, small cells of people who share the same politics and engage in direct action together. They often join other affinity groups to form clusters. Those that stay together are called collectives or blocs.

“There are probably people who identify as Jane’s Revenge who do not engage in activities that Antifa is best known for, but the overlap is really high,” Mr. Shideler said.

A week after the Supreme Court’s draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade was leaked on May 2, a group calling itself Jane’s Revenge firebombed the Wisconsin Family Action headquarters in Madison and issued a communique warning that more attacks were coming.

That assault acted as a call to arms for affinity groups nationwide, Mr. Shideler said.

“You had the initial incident that was carried out by Jane’s Revenge, and then they issued a manifesto essentially saying if you believe in this, then you are a member of us. Go out and do what we have done,” Mr. Shideler said. “It’s a very common insurrectionary, anarchist way of thinking. So various affinity groups across the country took up that call and conducted actions in the name of Jane’s Revenge.”

Since the Supreme Court leak, at least 79 pro-life facilities and 126 Catholic churches have been attacked, according to the CatholicVote tracker.

The Jane’s Revenge statement issued in May through Bellingcat journalist Robert Evans ended with: “We are not one group, but many. We are in your city. We are in every city.”

Trump Was Impeached For A Phone Call—To Prevent Him From Finding Out What Biden Was Actually Doing In Ukraine

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

UPDATE: NEW Biden-Ukraine Phone Calls Indicate Cover-up

President Trump was impeached for a phone call – a ‘perfect phone call” – trying to get to the bottom of this. And it was bad, worse than Trump imagined. It’s why they had to impeach him, so he couldn’t get to the bottom of it.

Biden was covering up his criminality in Ukraine. And he was EXTREMELY concerned about Trump looking around. He didn’t want Trump to follow where all the funding was going because he would uncover the biological research, among other things.

Biden/Poroshenko 2016 Phone Call Proves DNC Malfeasance in Ukraine

Published: Jul 22, 2022 by Clandestine:

THIS IS WILD!

Rewind, to November 16th, 2016:

Then Vice President Biden made a phone call to former Ukrainian President Poroshenko, during the Trump transition after Trump won 2016. Link to video below:

https://t.me/bioclandestine/479

Biden Transcript below:

“This is getting very, very close to what I don’t want to have happen. I don’t want Trump to get in a position where he thinks he’s about to buy on to a policy where the financial system is going to collapse and he’s going to be looked to pour more money into Ukraine.

That’s how he’ll think about it before he get sophisticated enough to know the detail.

So anything you can do to push that the PrivatBank closure so that the IMP loan comes forward, I would respectfully suggest is critically important to your economic as we as physical security.”

Now we know why Biden was MORTIFIED and threatened Poroshenko’s “physical and economic security” if he allowed Trump to find out the “details” of what the DNC were actually doing in Ukraine. If Trump saw the US funds going into Ukraine, Trump would look into it and find the entire DNC Deep State network in Ukraine, most important of which were the biolabs.

THIS IS WHY SHE WASN’T SUPPOSED TO LOSE! They knew that if Trump got in office, and he found what they were doing, they were all going to swing from nooses. It was always about Ukraine. That’s what it’s been the entire time. Covering up Ukraine.

This is the smoking gun. This adds significant validity to the Russian allegations that the US DNC are doing nefarious things in Ukraine. This confirms Biden is guilty of something, and confirms he was petrified that Trump would find out about it.

Just to be clear, if you are doing something you don’t want the incoming administration to be aware of, its only because you are doing something malevolent. This is not how an honest or good leader behaves. This is criminal.

This is also why the Dems in the House impeached Trump over a phone call to Zelensky, because Trump was getting too close to finding out.

Everything that the DNC/Globalist machine have done since Trump came down that escalator, was ultimately about covering up Ukraine.

No God, No Rights

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

When Vice President Kamala Harris gave a speech on the 50th anniversary of “Roe v. Wade” about a week ago, she infamously left out the Creator—when talking about our rights. One wag told me, “Hey, at least Kamala didn’t say, we ‘are created by … you know, the thing,’” as did her boss on the campaign trail.

She also left out the “right to life.” But does this oversight matter? I addressed her “right to life” omission in a previous piece, but what about leaving out the Creator? Who cares?

We all should. The essence of America is self-rule under God. Leave out either part, and we end up with tyranny. Without God as the secure source of our rights, from whence come those rights?

Thomas Jefferson said, and you can see this quote in the Jefferson Memorial: “And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God?”

Why does God matter? The late Clay Christensen was a Harvard Business professor who hosted a 90-second video segment that brilliantly shows why He matters.

Christensen says that ultimately we must choose between internal versus external restraint. In explaining to a visiting student from China how religion benefits American society by bolstering morality, Christensen makes the point that we can’t hire enough police to make people good. But democracy has greatly benefited through the internal restraints that religion provides.

William Penn, founder of Pennsylvania, would concur. He once noted, “If we will not be governed by God, we must be governed by tyrants.”

Within a few years of America’s revolt against British rule, the French had their revolution. Some like to compare the American with the French Revolution. They were totally different because of the God factor. The American Revolution was pro-God. The French Revolution was anti-God. That is the difference in a nutshell.

For the documentaries in my Foundation of American Liberty series for Providence Forum, I had the privilege to interview Dennis Prager, the founder of PragerU. At one point in the interview, he contrasted these two turbulent events.

He told me, “The American Revolution and French Revolution is the battle in the United States.  Which revolution will prevail? … They loathe the idea of God in the French Revolution; the secular republic was the ideal. In America, they believed in secular government, but in a God-based society, because rights come from God in America. And you can only have liberty if you have God.”

Prager pointed out that this was not a “faith statement” so much as a “logical” one: “People will either feel accountable for their behavior to God or the state. Those are your two choices. It is an absurdity to believe they’ll be good if they’re accountable only to themselves. If you’re only accountable to yourself, you will always justify what you do.”

And so he concludes, “God is the ultimate issue.”

Take the issue of the value of human life. When you remove God from the equation, life becomes cheap. Because we’re made in the image of God, human life has value.

Human beings are different than the animals, says the Bible. Recently I read portions of a great book, The Death of Humanity: And The Case For Life” by history professor Dr. Richard Weikart, who wrote the classic book, From Darwin to Hitler.

Dr. Weikart writes, “Western society is in deep trouble today. Once we identify some segments of humanity as ‘life unworthy of life’ or ‘sub-human,’ to use phrases commonly used before and during the Nazi period, we have jettisoned any basis for valuing humans as humans. We have effectively undermined all human rights, because now we can decide which humans have rights and which do not.”

In contrast, the founders of America said in the Declaration of Independence, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, and among these are the right to life.” The first right they listed is the right to life.

In the Declaration, the signers mention God four times, including their appeal “to the Supreme Judge of the World for the Rectitude of our Intentions,” referring to Jesus, whom God, the Bible says, has appointed to judge us all one day.

But if there’s no Creator, as some politicians seem to think, why should there be any human right? As retired Congressman Ron Paul once noted, “There is only one kind of freedom and that’s individual liberty. Our lives come from our creator and our liberty comes from our creator. It has nothing to do with government granting it.”

EXCLUSIVE: Med School Went Woke After Pressure From Accreditor, Documents Show

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

  • The University of Utah School of Medicine implemented a series of programs to recruit and retain diverse students and faculty after its accrediting organization said its diversity efforts were unsatisfactory, according to emails obtained by a medical watchdog group and shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation.
  • The school, in response, filed a status report outlining its progress in increasing its diversity on campus.
  • “This further promotes ideology ahead of quality medical education and race/ethnicity or sex over hiring the most qualified faculty and staff,” Laura Morgan, Do No Harm’s program manager, told the DCNF.

The University of Utah School of Medicine (SOM) adopted a series of programs to recruit more diverse students and faculty after its accrediting organization said its diversity efforts were unsatisfactory, according to emails obtained by a medical watchdog group and shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) told the school that it found certain elements of its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts unsatisfactory, and requested a detailed report from the medical school about how it improved recruitment and retainment for students and faculty from underrepresented communities, according to a 2021 accreditation report shared with the DCNF. In response, the school complied with the request, instituting several DEI programs and sending a status update about how it sought to connect with people from “each of the school’s identified diversity groups,” earning the LCME’s approval.

“The LCME and AAMC hold the power over medical schools regarding their accreditation, and the University of Utah School of Medicine’s responses to the LCME’s findings reflect the desire to live up to those organizations’ woke agendas,” Laura Morgan, Do No Harm’s program manager, told the DCNF. “This further promotes ideology ahead of quality medical education and race/ethnicity or sex over hiring the most qualified faculty and staff.”

CLICK HERE TO VIEW PAGE  4: Requited Follow-up For The School

The initial LCME report found that the school’s “diversity/pipeline programs and partnerships” element was “unsatisfactory” based on data that showed a low number of women at the institution. The LCME said that this was an “improvement for the 2020 entering class,” but that staff diversity remained low.

“DCI data show that 38.5% of full-time faculty and 22.2% of senior administrative staff are women,” the report reads. “No offers for faculty and senior administrative staff positions were made in several of the school’s diversity categories (American Indian/Alaskan Native, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander) for the 2018-29 academic year.”

In response, the Utah school outlined several initiatives it took to recruit a more diverse student body. The efforts ranged from hosting an “Indigenous STEM Youth Outreach Program” to holding a “Day of the Dead Premedical Conference” and offering workshops to help undergraduate and pre-med students from “underrepresented” backgrounds prepare for the admissions process.

“Two significant areas for improvement are related to student and faculty diversity. SOM Office of Health Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (OHEDI) recognizes recruitment is important with compositional diversity and the need for intentional retention efforts for the success of all,” the school wrote in its report. “SOM OHEDI and health science center University of Utah Health, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (HSC UHEDI) are continuously working to identify needs for action to achieve desired results in terms of recruitment and retention of diverse faculty, students, and staff.”

CLICK HERE TO VIEW: Diversity Recruitment Days

The school held “diversity recruitment days” and offered scholarships specifically to students from “underrepresented populations” that covered the near total cost of tuition for four years, the report wrote. The school required its admissions staff to undergo “Anti-Bias Training” and to use a “holistic” admission process which required a cultural awareness essay for the 2021-2022 academic year.

Faculty search committees received anti-bias training, and most departments also require applicants to submit a diversity statement, according to the report.

CLICK HERE TO VIEW: School of Medicine Diverse Faculty Recruitment Initiative

The LCME responded in June 2022 that while the school had improved its diversity efforts, additional action is required. The accreditor labeled the school’s progress as “satisfactory with a need for mentoring,” but requested the school send a second status report by August 15, 2023.

“Medical education must not be undermined in favor of medical wokeness, and Utah taxpayers need to ask why this is being done at UUSOM,” Morgan told the DCNF.

The University of Utah School of Medicine and the LCME did not respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.

Meet the Pro-Life Family Merrick Garland Tried to Rip Apart

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

“I’m George Bailey today,” were among the first words spoken by Mark Houck in the moments following his acquittal on Monday. The pro-life husband and father of seven had been subjected to months of torturous waiting under a looming prosecution by the Biden administration that could have resulted in a sentence of 11 years in federal prison. While the Department of Justice claimed that Houck had violated the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act outside of a Philadelphia Planned Parenthood, the Houck family and its faithful allies knew the Biden administration’s politically-motivated narrative was a far cry from the truth.

Houck was accused of pushing 72-year-old Bruce Love, an abortion facility escort, to the ground. Houck’s attorneys notified the DOJ that, though there was no legal foundation for a FACE Act charge, Houck would appear voluntarily if summoned. Rather than accept this responsible offer, Merrick Garland’s DOJ saw fit to arrest Houck in the most humiliating and traumatizing manner possible — by 25 federal agents, at gunpoint, in the early hours of the morning, in front of his terrified wife and crying small children, who will no doubt bear the psychological repercussions of this incident for years to come.

No objective observer could doubt the intentions behind the theatrical arrest of Mark Houck: Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Biden administration’s DOJ intended to make an example of the pro-life activist, no matter the cost to his life or family.

Unfortunately for the rabid abortion extremist in the Oval Office and his shameless henchman at the DOJ, the case against Houck rested on sinking sand. Houck’s attorneys with the Thomas More Society handily proved that the FACE Act did not apply in Houck’s case. Bruce Love had a proven history of such acts of aggression; the pro-life father was merely defending his son after Love aggressively harassed the 12-year-old boy with profanities while the father and son prayed together, far away from the entrance of the abortion facility.

After days of waiting, the jury pushed past deadlock to deliver a verdict: Mark Houck was not guilty of violating the FACE Act. Despite every effort from the federal government to paint Houck as a violent pro-life radical, the jury had seen the truth — Houck was not aggressing against an “enemy” for his beliefs about abortion. He was protecting his terrified child from an immanent threat, as any good father would do.

The Houck family’s prayerful defense against the oppression of an abortion-obsessed federal government is truly commendable. Houck’s 12-year-old son, whom Mark emotionally called the “star witness,” courageously took the stand during the trial to defend his father, truthfully setting straight the facts that adults had attempted to manipulate. May we all praise the Lord for empowering the Houck family to set an example for all pro-lifers who find themselves as the David facing down the Goliath of the abortion industry.

We must not forget, however, that, while God used for good that which men intended for evil, the suffering of the Houck family since Mark’s arrest in September 2022 was a needless perversion of the law to serve the Biden administration’s radical love of abortion. The DOJ has unquestionably been weaponized against the pro-life movement, even in the face of absurdly disproportionate violence against pro-life organizations, property, and people. Family Research Council has tracked at least 124 instances of such pro-abortion violence, harassment, destruction of property, and vandalism. So far, the DOJ has brought charges against only two pro-abortion activists under the FACE Act, compared to 26 pro-lifers.

Congressman Chip Roy (R-Texas) has previously stated in reference to the Houck case, “Attorney General Merrick Garland oversees an increasingly politicized FBI that seems hell-bent on making examples of average American citizens who don’t align politically with the administration. … Congress owes the American people transparent accountability for any and all wrongdoing by the FBI and Garland’s DOJ.” Garland has faced calls for impeachment on multipleoccasions.

The outcome of Mark Houck’s trial is a monumental victory for pro-lifers across the country, countless of whom regularly pray and sidewalk counsel outside of abortion facilities in hopes of sparing mothers and their children from the violence of abortion. However, Houck’s case should never have made it to trial in the first place. American citizens, regardless of their personal convictions and religious beliefs, should not be harassed or made examples of based on the radical whims of the federal government. The Biden administration’s abortion radicalism has gone too far — it is high time for accountability that brings justice for pro-life Americans.

As for Mark Houck, the pro-life movement’s George Bailey, no schemes of abortion radicals will keep him from sharing with moms and their unborn babies that it truly is a wonderful life.

Federal Judge Blocks Gavin Newsom’s War Against the Freedom of Speech

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

At times, frankly, it’s pretty slim pickings for every party, but this is ridiculous: Old Joe Biden is looking increasingly unlikely to repeat his president act after January 20, 2025, and California Governor Gavin Newsom is now the Democrats’ rising star.

Yes, that Gavin Newsom, the one who is relentlessly destroying California with ever more intrusive and expensive nanny state socialist measures that are leading Californians to flee in droves: the state is experiencing a population decline for the first time in recorded history.

But Newsom is popular among Leftists because he is a socialist, and even better (as far as they’re concerned), an authoritarian who eagerly tramples upon the First Amendment in his lust to crack down on dissent. As the Left grows ever more open about its opposition to our Constitutional rights, Newsom’s disdain for the freedom of speech makes him look increasingly like the Democrat of the future, if the future belongs to Mao. But now he has encountered a small obstacle, in the form of a federal judge.

Back in September 2022, Newsom signed Assembly Bill 2098, a law prohibiting the dissemination of “misinformation” on the COVID hysteria. Specifically, according to a Thursday report in the San Francisco Gate, it established penalties for physicians who departed from “the contemporary scientific consensus” regarding COVID. Now that this “consensus” is being shown to have been based more on groupthink and political objectives rather than dispassionate and objective scientific analysis, Newsom’s bill appears to be particularly insidious. And it is: “misinformation” and “disinformation” are labels that today’s enemies of freedom use in order to suppress speech that gets in the way of their agenda while fooling Leftist rubes into thinking they’re performing a valuable public service. Newsom, not surprisingly, is an enthusiastic proponent of such deceptions.

According to the governor himself, of course, this fascist little bill was perfect, as it was “narrowly tailored to apply only to those egregious instances in which a licensee is acting with malicious intent or clearly deviating from the required standard of care while interacting directly with a patient under their care.” However, the Gate notes that “in an SFGATE op-ed last year, California physician Dr. Tracy Beth Høeg argued that AB 2098’s definition of ‘misinformation’ was too broad and that ‘the contemporary scientific consensus’ is always changing.” Indeed. If anything is obvious about COVID at this point, it’s that. And so “Høeg and other doctors sued the state, alleging that the law violates the First Amendment’s free speech protections and 14th Amendment’s due process protections.” Obviously it does.

Now a federal judge has recognized that fact. On Wednesday, Judge William B. Shubb shot down Newsom’s free-speech-destroying measure, and had strong words for it in his opinion: “Defendants argue that while the scientific consensus may sometimes be difficult to define, there is a clear scientific consensus on certain issues — for example, that apples contain sugar, that measles is caused by a virus, or that Down’s syndrome is caused by a chromosomal abnormality. However, AB 2098 does not apply the term ‘scientific consensus’ to such basic facts, but rather to COVID-19 — a disease that scientists have only been studying for a few years, and about which scientific conclusions have been hotly contested. COVID-19 is a quickly evolving area of science that in many aspects eludes consensus.”

Imagine if Gavin Newsom had had the marvelous opportunity to be walking on this planet in the year 1632. There is no doubt whatsoever about it: he would have been one of those insisting that Galileo obey the clear scientific consensus that the sun revolved around the earth, and would happily have burned him at the stake if he continued to insist otherwise. The contents of the orthodoxy and the heresy have changed, but otherwise the situation is the same: Gavin Newsom would have been a zealous Inquisitor. And Judge Shubb further embarrassed California’s Grand Inquisitor by pointing out that the definition of “misinformation” included in AB 2098 was “grammatically incoherent” and consequently thus “unconstitutionally vague.” The Gate adds that Shubb “had signaled he would grant the doctors’ request at a Monday hearing, in which he told California’s lawyers that their definition of ‘misinformation’ was ‘nonsense.’”

Totalitarians don’t give up when they encounter obstacles, and so Newsom will persist. The Gate notes that Shubb’s ruling was “not a final judgment on the constitutionality of the law but rather a temporary halt against enforcement while litigation continues. California can appeal to have the injunction lifted,” and you can be sure that it will. Although little noted among patriots, the war against the freedom of speech is the Left’s primary focus at this point. If Leftists can destroy it, under the guise of protecting the public against such trumped-up bogeymen as “hate speech” and “misinformation,” they will have a free hand to implement the rest of their sinister agenda. That’s why this small victory against AB 2098 should be celebrated, and imitated.

House Votes To End COVID-19 Emergency

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

The House of Representatives voted Tuesday along party lines to end the COVID-19 emergency, though the legislation is likely dead on arrival in the Senate.

All 220 voting Republicans supported the Pandemic is Over Act, ending the emergency, and all 210 voting Democrats opposed it. The White House has said that President Joe Biden will allow the public health emergency to expire in May, but that ending it via an act of Congress could eliminate pandemic-era programs like Title 42, student loan forgiveness, and a Medicaid expansion.

President Joe Biden said in September 2022 that the COVID-19 pandemic is “over,” but that “we’re still doing a lot of work on it.” The Biden administration has renewed the public health emergency twice since the president made the claim.

“This action is long overdue. This week we are voting on several bills designed to do what we all in America have known for some time, that the emergency declaration should be gone away,” Republican Florida Rep. Kat Cammack said in a floor speech. “Why would the president declare that the pandemic is over but not rescind the emergency declaration? In fact, many of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle seem more concerned with keeping the public health emergency in place rather than addressing the problems we are now being faced with.”

Despite keeping the public health emergency in place, the Biden administration has attempted to end Title 42, the Trump administration order that allows federal officials to more rapidly deport illegal immigrants. The Supreme Court temporarily ordered the Biden administration to maintain the policy, and will hear oral arguments in the full case in February.

‘Wasn’t A Boy’: Mother Testifies That Child Was Sex Trafficked After State Removed Her From Home Over ‘Misgendering’

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

The mother of a raped and sex-trafficked teen detailed in a Monday hearing how the school kept her child’s gender identity a secret and a court then withheld custody for months.

Michele’s testimony was offered during a period of public comments as the Virginia legislature considers Sage’s Law, a bill which would require school officials notify parents if a student is identifying with a gender inconsistent with his or her biological sex. The bill also clarifies that the definition of child abuse does not include so-called “misgendering.”

The bill is named after Michele’s adopted daughter Sage, who was brutally sex-trafficked and gang-raped after school officials, and then the state, intervened after accusing her parents of abuse for “misgendering” Sage. They kept Sage, who claimed to identify as a boy at the time, in a male children’s home for over two months where she was “repeatedly assaulted” and given drugs.

Michele, who is Sage’s biological grandmother, adopted Sage after her son died. Neither woman’s last name has been publicized.

Sage suffered from depression and anxiety when the COVID pandemic began, concerns which her teachers shared with Michele, she testified.

“The transparency ended in August 2021 when Sage started high school,” Michele said. “She started a public high school and she told me that all the girls there were bi, trans, lesbian, emo, and she wanted to wear boys clothes and be emo. Because I saw it as just a phase it was fine with me. But at school she told them something different, she was now a boy named Draco with male pronouns. Sage asked the school not to tell me and they did not tell me.”

“No one told me but boys followed her, touched her, threatened violence and rape. Something happened in the boy’s bathroom but for two days the school told me nothing. They kept meeting with Sage alone, and she became so distraught they called me to pick her up,” she continued.

That evening, Michele found a pass that listed Sage’s name as Draco. Sage then told Michele she was a boy.

“She’d been jacked up against the wall by a group of boys, she was crying, terrified. I said just stay home, we’ll figure it out,” Michele said during the hearing. “That was my last conversation with Sage for five months. The night she ran, she went with a young friend she met online. She left a note saying she was scared of what would happen if she stayed.”

Nine days after she went missing, Sage was found locked in a room in Baltimore . She had been drugged, gang raped, and brutalized by “countless men.” The FBI told Sage’s parents to pick her up in the morning.

“We packed our cars with blankets and stuffed animals and arrived by 8:00 a.m. But we were told we couldn’t see her, and were summoned before Judge Robert Kershaw later that afternoon. They didn’t even tell Sage that we came for her,” Michele said. “We finally enter the courtroom and Sage appears on a huge Zoom screen from a prison cell. She looks tiny and broken, and I cry out, ‘I love you, Sage!’ Sage responds, ‘I love you too, Nana!’”

Attorneys then rebuked Michele for using female pronouns to refer to Sage, Michele said. The judge ordered Michele’s husband, who was “so tearful he kept forgetting the new pronouns,” removed from the courtroom by a bailiff, according to Michele’s testimony. When Michele told the judge she wanted to bring Sage home to treat her for trauma, the judge told her she would also be removed if she used the word trauma again, Michele said during the hearing.

“For over two months [the judge] withheld custody. He housed Sage in the male quarters of a children’s home. Sage told me she was the only girl, and repeatedly assaulted. She was given street drugs by the other kids,” Michele testified, adding that Sage later disappeared from that home and was trafficked again.

Michele later learned that her daughter had been told to lie and say she was abused by her mother.

“They told me [Sage] might already be gone forever, but I couldn’t give up, and I finally found a tip on her social media that led the marshals to her in Texas,” Michele said. “She had been drugged, raped, beaten, and exploited. This time I was able to be with her for the traumatic rape exam and bring her home.”

Sage’s grandmother says she suffered from panic attacks and medical issues due to the rapes she suffered, but that “she’s not broken, she’s just scared.”

“Sage says she doesn’t know who she was back then. She wasn’t a boy, she just wanted to have friends,” Michele concluded. “Let parents do our jobs, we know our children best, and we love them a million times more.”
