  Coming Soon from Joe and Kamala: Hooray for the Revolution! Philip Giraldi • November 26, 2020 • 1,100 Words • There is something quite scary about the way leading Democrats have persistently wrapped their attempts to control the American people in platitudes and self-righteous drivel. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, who are currently pulling their team together, are no different than the Clintons and Obamas who preceded them and are already on course to establish conformity by diminishing the fundamental rights that have been hitherto enjoyed by the American people. The current war being waged against the United States and its constitution hinges on the expressed desire to extirpate “white supremacy” aka “white privilege” aka “systemic racism.” It is a convenient campaign slogan as it immediately creates guilt and apprehension in those white people who are foolish enough to believe it. It also is a vague enough term that it becomes possible to wrap a l...

  The big capitalist controlled Comcast semi-monopoly is planning to expand its data cap policy into all of its markets by 2021. The meter plans will start charging customers after 1.2 TB. The increase in telework and online schooling during the ongoing COVID lockdowns could rake in serious pandemic profits to help subsidize the company’s losses in the world of media and Hollywood soft power. Since 2000, Comcast has received almost a billion dollars in state and federal subsidies for its operations. While Comcast’s executives and lobbyists mostly work with Democrats, under Trump’s tax-cut the company received another $861 million in tax breaks.

 FAIRFAX, Calif. (KGO) -- In Fairfax, Marin County, it becomes clear from all the BLM signs that this community wears progressive politics on its proverbial sleeves. But the town's social justice self-image is being shaken by a hateful incident caught on camera Tuesday. An out-of-town visitor wandered through town putting up stickers of swastikas Tuesday until a local, 21 year-old Noah Mohan, confronted him. A video of the encounter has spread on social media. "Let me see your stickers? Why you putting that up in my f---ing town, bro?" he asks in the video. "Putting up Nazi stickers in Fairfax? Let me see your face, bro. You keep putting them up and I will keep ripping them off." "For him to come and put up Nazi stickers in a place where he doesn't live and in the middle of the day? Thinking no one would do anything about it? That is crazy to me," Mohan told ABC7 News Wednesday. Mohan is half Jewish and an amateur boxer, which speaks t...

  Pop psychologist Jordan Peterson’s ideas have been branded ‘hate speech’ by his publisher’s tearful employees, even though his books pay their wages. No doubt they’d prefer their company to publish feminist bilge like I Hate Men. For those inclined towards self-help, there are shelves packed with books on the meaning of life, and controversial psychologist Jordan B Peterson is about to add to them with his new work Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life, out next March. Oh! The gnashing of teeth, the tearing of hair and heart-rending wailing that has caused. And that’s just from those who work at his publisher. The Canadian clinical psychologist and professor of psychology at the University of Toronto already puts the liberal media in a tailspin. ‘How dangerous is Jordan B Peterson, the rightwing professor who 'hit a hornets' nest'?’, asked The Guardian. ‘Jordan Peterson, Custodian of the Patriarchy’ claimed the New York Times. These are typic...

  In an essay published on Friday, Teen Vogue columnist Kandist Mallett blasts America while calling for a range of radical motions and criticizing any notion of unity.   In the essay , titled “There’s No Such Thing As a United America,” Mallett writes that the U.S. is rooted in “divisiveness,” was founded “through the genocide of Indigenous peoples,” and flourished “through the enslavement of Africans.”  “At its core, America’s values are white supremacy and capitalism,” she writes. “That is true no matter who has been in office.” Mallett describes former Vice President Joe Biden’s call for a “united America” as “nationalist propaganda,” stating that “Americans have never been united, and have been kept apart and pitted against one another by the state.”  “From geographic segregation to immigration bans and racist policing, the U.S. has privileged the lives and security of some residents at the expense of others,” she added.  While painting...

  22 March 2020 Over sixty years ago, in November 1959, the American Petroleum Institute co-sponsored a symposium at Columbia University in New York City to commemorate the U.S. oil industry’s centennial year. Among the guest speakers was renowned physicist Edward Teller, who warned the audience of scientists, government officials and industry representatives that burning large quantities of fossils fuels risked “contaminating the atmosphere” with carbon dioxide to such an extent as to provoke rising global temperatures: “Carbon dioxide has a strange property. It transmits visible light but it absorbs the infrared radiation which is emitted from the earth. Its presence in the atmosphere causes a greenhouse effect.… It has been calculated that a temperature rise corresponding to a 10 per cent increase in carbon dioxide will be sufficient to melt the icecap and submerge New York. All the coastal cities would be covered, and since a considerable percentage of the human ...
