The Problem With Tearing Down Statues…

Posted by M. C. on May 3, 2022

In this episode, Douglas Murray and I discuss the current assault on the West, slavery, gratitude, racist mathematics, whiteness, (non-Western) accomplishments, and individual sovereignty. Douglas Murray is the associate editor of The Spectator and the bestselling author of seven books, including The Strange Death of Europe: Immigration, Identity, Islam; The Madness of Crowds, and The War on the West.

Meds: The Seen—and Unseen—of Intellectual Property Laws

Posted by M. C. on May 3, 2022

To slow down the development, use, and spread of technical innovation and prevent others from replicating and improving on innovations is to limit human production; it is to act against prosperity itself.

https://mises.org/wire/meds-seen-and-unseen-intellectual-property-laws

Bernardo Decoster

Perhaps the greatest lesson to be learned in economics is that public policies have seen and unseen effects. The mastery of such a lesson is what separates the good from the bad economist. “The bad economist,” writes Henry Hazlitt, “sees only what immediately strikes the eye; the good economist also looks beyond. The bad economist sees only the direct consequences of a proposed course; the good economist looks also at the longer and indirect consequences. The bad economist sees only what the effect of a given policy has been or will be on one particular group; the good economist inquires also what the effect of the policy will be on all groups.”

The same economic reasoning should be applied to intellectual property laws. By joining together not only the seen, but also the unseen consequences of intellectual property laws, we can achieve a solidly ironclad understanding of its impacts on humanity.

Visible Effects of Intellectual Property laws

In August 2015, Turing Pharmaceuticals acquired the marketing rights to Daraprim, a life-saving drug used to combat parasitic infections, and became its sole supplier. The next month, it hiked the price of the drug 5,000 percent, from $13.50 a tablet to $750, sparking nationwide protests. 

More noticeably than in any other sector, the patent system’s visible effects on the pharmaceutical industry are severely damaging to consumers and free enterprise. According to the Association for Accessible Medicine, “Innovation is critical to the success of the entire pharmaceutical industry. Without innovation there could be no generic pharmaceutical or biosimilar medicines for patients.” Big pharmaceutical corporations, with well-organized lobbying funding, are able to sustain the very monopolistic system that enables their abuse of consumers through high prices. Shielded by the power of the government, for example, Roche/Genentech has had a virtual monopoly on the cancer drug Herceptin since 1985, and AbbVie, which markets the world’s best-selling drug, Humira ($18 billion in global sales in 2017), has filed over 240 patent applications. These data points come from a 2018 report by the Initiative for Medicines, Access and Knowledge (I-MAK), which found that, on average across the top twelve grossing drugs in America

  • There are 125 patent applications filed and seventy-one granted patents per drug, the majority of which are granted.
  • Prices have increased by 68 percent since 2012, and only one of the top twelve drugs has actually decreased in price.
  • There are thirty-eight years of attempted patent protection that are blocking generic competition sought by drug makers for each of these top-grossing drugs—or nearly double the twenty-year monopoly intended under US patent law.
  • These top-grossing drugs have already been on the US market for fifteen years.
  • Over half of the top twelve drugs in America have more than a hundred attempted patents apiece.

These outrageous statistics point ever more strongly toward the notion that intellectual property laws, unnecessary to reward innovation, are merely tools used by crony corporations close to government power to block competition and increase the price of their products. 

Sadly, IP is not limited to the pharmaceutical sector, and its monopolistic effects are also heavily felt in the entertainment industry. The artificial monopoly granted and protected by the government leads to a standard “massified culture” and a creative stagnation within the entertainment industry, a phenomenon noted many decades ago by Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno, two Frankfurt scholars who missed the critical role played by IP laws in the phenomenon and then wrongly blamed entrepreneurs. It is precisely the blocking of competition, the blocking of free enterprise and entrepreneurial creation, that leads to a “mass cultural industry” dominated by big corporations.

Besides its horrid healthcare consequences and sociological disasters, IP laws also weigh heavily and directly on the taxpayer via the bureaucracy of patent litigation. An incredibly detailed infographic from The Anatomy of a Patent Case draws from varied sources to show the bureaucratic burden of IP laws. It concluded that litigation functions as a tax of about $31 billion dollars per year (maybe as much as $42 billion) and a drag on free enterprise.

Artificial monopolies, the bureaucratic burden, the rage-inducing high prices, and the destruction of creativity are only some visible effects of IP laws. Much worse, however, are its unseen effects.

Unseen Effects of Intellectual Property laws

The worldwide call to break the patent on covid-19 vaccines, fueled by the desire to accelerate their distribution, revealed a basic economic truth hidden in plain sight: to limit knowledge is to limit human prosperity. Even key players faced vaccine shortages due to third-party patents, yet virtually no one applied the same logical reasoning to other sectors. If patents on vaccine production limited the production (and subsequently, the distribution) of vaccines, why wouldn’t this apply to any other technological innovation?

Let’s take a step back and look at the logic behind this truth.

End the Culture War. Separate School and State.

Posted by M. C. on May 3, 2022

written by ron paul

Parents’ demand that their children receive a quality education reflecting the parents’ values could be met by a free market if the government got out of the way. A free-market education system would provide parents with a variety of options, including religious and secular private schools, community-based schools, and homeschooling.

A Florida bill restricting classroom instruction regarding sexuality in kindergarten through third grade has become the latest culture war skirmish.

Supporters of the bill say government schools have no business being involved in this type of instruction with young students. They make a good point. The use of government power to indoctrinate children in certain political and social beliefs — regardless of the wishes of parents — is a major problem.

While the instruction at issue in Florida is associated with efforts of leftists, the temptation to seek to achieve ideological objectives through education policy can be strong among conservatives as well.

The Ohio legislature is considering a bill similar to the Florida bill. Because the Ohio bill applies to private schools participating in Ohio’s taxpayer-funded school voucher program in addition to government schools, conservative legislators supporting the Ohio bill are vindicating the warning of conservatives and libertarians that allowing government to subsidize private school tuition would lead to government control of private schools.

Other conservatives are trying to force schools to adopt a “patriotic” curriculum. This is just as pernicious as leftists’ efforts to force schools to teach critical race theory. Students indoctrinated in critical race theory will graduate believing that white male capitalists are the source of all evil. Students indoctrinated in “patriotism” will graduate believing every bit of propaganda sponsored by the war party and will smear all dissenters from the “party line” as unpatriotic spreaders of disinformation from Russia or whatever country replaces Russia as global enemy number one.

In a free society, parents — not politicians, bureaucrats, or teachers unions — would control education. Parents would decide whether and when their children’s education will include topics like sexuality, race theory, and the evidence for and against Darwinism.

Parents’ demand that their children receive a quality education reflecting the parents’ values could be met by a free market if the government got out of the way. A free-market education system would provide parents with a variety of options, including religious and secular private schools, community-based schools, and homeschooling.

People searching for a quality homeschooling program that incorporates libertarian ideas without ever sacrificing education for indoctrination should look into my homeschooling curriculum.

The Ron Paul Curriculum provides students with a well-rounded education that includes rigorous programs in history, mathematics, and the physical and natural sciences. The curriculum also provides instruction in personal finance. Students can develop superior communication skills via intensive writing and public speaking courses. Another feature of my curriculum is that it provides students the opportunity to create and run their own businesses.

The government and history sections of the curriculum emphasize Austrian economics, libertarian political theory, and the history of liberty. However, unlike government schools, my curriculum never puts ideological indoctrination ahead of education. Interactive forums provide students with the opportunity to interact with their peers outside of a formal setting.

I encourage all parents looking to provide their children with an indoctrination-free education to go to RonPaulCurriculum.com for more information about my homeschooling program.

The Body Snatchers: The NWO’s Eugenics Agenda

Posted by M. C. on May 3, 2022

To reach the level of a perfect race—and ultimately immortality (which they believe they can achieve)—the unfit will have to go. And through psyops and distorted propaganda the body snatchers will convince the masses that eugenics, euthanasia and mass murder is compulsory for a squeaky-clean environment. Will humanity step in and stop the extinction of their own species, or allow it? Time will tell.

By Dr. Igor Shepherd

The body snatchers are here, and they are coming for you, me, and the rest of society—all under the guise that eugenics is necessary to contain scary viruses, end climate change, and protect the planet from pollution caused by overpopulation. We are entering a new world order where euthanasia, mandatory birth control, genetic screenings, genetic engineering, marriage restrictions, racial and mental health segregation, and abortions will be the new normal.

Eugenics is derived from ancient Greek and means “good genes,” which involves the practice of planned breeding in order to bring about better genetic traits for future populations. But to make a better race always involves elimination of those who do not have “good” genes.

What most people are not aware of is that the current ruling oligarchy follow a godless belief system called social Darwinism which they believe grants them the power to choose who lives and who dies. Legalizing eugenics allows these mad hatters to get away with mass murder.

The theory of social Darwinism promotes the belief that all species are related and gradually change over time through natural selection, which means that because of genetic variations certain individuals are born with greater genes, allowing them the rights to prevail over those bloodlines who are deemed less suitable. Charles Darwin’s premise that mankind evolved from earlier primates allows those who feel they are superior to drag the rest of the human race down to the level of animals, undermining natural law and contesting the long-held Biblical teachings that God created humans in His sacred image and likeness.

In 1859, Darwin published a daring book entitled, The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life. Through Darwin’s philosophies social Darwinism took root and spread throughout the world, promoting the crude concept that only the “survival of the fittest,” those people who carry powerful positions in society, should be allowed to live and rule because they genetically evolved better than others. The rest of society are viewed as unfit, lazy and stupid, and this is why eugenics, racism, inequality and imperialism became a big part of the social Darwin thought-process.

This is why world leaders and members of the smokescreen organization, the World Economic Forum (WEF), have labeled themselves as the “elite” (survivors of the fittest) and propagate Darwinist theology in their writings and conferences. They are gung-ho in trying to condition the world to accept eugenics and the necessity of bulk depopulation.

In 2014, the 44th annual WEF meeting held in Davos, Switzerland, was named “The Reshaping of the World: Consequences for our Society, Politics and Business.” Microsoft nerd Bill Gates and global-warming guru, Al Gore, unmasked their radical thoughts on ridding the world of the “unfit.” Both men proposed that depopulation of the world was a necessary channel with which to end climate change, and that contraception was the key in making sure high climates did not harm the world. Gates blabbed that birth control was needed because too many people “generated” pollution, which in turn created abnormal changes in the weather. Boy, what a load of doo-doo. No wonder this guy was a Harvard dropout. He cannot differentiate between real science and science fiction.

The excrement does not end when it comes to propagating eugenics as something necessary to save the world from burn-everyone-alive out-of-control weather. A few years earlier, Professor Matthew Liao, from New York University, became peanut butter and jelly for the Darwinian mindset, and put out a research paper claiming human engineering and eugenics were necessary to put a lid on climate change. His bizarre suggestions included the following:

– Gene editing to create smaller-sized people so that people ate less food.

– Genetic modification to bring about night vision capabilities so that people used less energy.

– Utilizing various methods to generate a meat-intolerant population so that gas emissions would be lowered.

– Revise women’s cognitive abilities so that birth rates nose-dived.

– Convince populations into taking pro-social hormones so as to reset their brains and get them to collectively cooperate with the climate change agenda.

And if these human hijackers can collectively brainwash the masses to accept climate change through pro-social hormone treatments, you can imagine what other mind control horrors they have up their sleeves for the lazy and stupid populace.

Marketing the acceptance of eugenics through gene editing has been ongoing for quite a long time. This is why Harvard’s Professor Michael Sandel spoke at the University back in 2004, under the headline banner, “The New Eugenics? The Brave New World of Designer Children, Bionic Athletes, and Genetic Engineering.”

Sandal is a liberal political philosopher and professor for Harvard’s law school, and has no educational background in biology or medicine. And yet he was chosen to speak on the subject of genetic engineering. Could it possibly be because he promotes social Darwinism and is labeled as an anti-market Marxist? I think so.

Western Civilization Is Being Organized Around Winning US Infowars

Posted by M. C. on May 3, 2022

Caitlin Johnstone

The US-centralized empire’s use of propaganda, censorship and Silicon Valley algorithm manipulation is the single most urgent issue of our time, because it’s what prevents attention from being drawn to all other issues. And all signs indicate it’s set to get much, much worse.

I feel the need to reiterate once again that the censorship we’re seeing about Ukraine is of a whole new kind than anything we’ve seen before. There’s no pretense that it’s done to save lives or protect democracy this time around, it’s just “We need to control the thoughts that people think about this war.”

Once it was accepted that disinformation and misinformation must be curtailed from above, government and tech institutions took that as license to decide what’s true and false on our behalf. We know this because now they’re just openly propagandizing and censoring us about a war.

Caitlin Johnstone ⏳ @caitozWhen Russia does it it’s lies and disinformation. When Ukraine does it it’s folklore. May 1st 2022245 Retweets922 Likes

You didn’t know that you were granting government and tech institutions authority to decide what’s true and false on your behalf when you agreed that it’s fine for them to work together to censor and sanctify Official Narratives about Covid, but it turns out that’s what was happening.

It looks pretty obvious in retrospect now though, doesn’t it? You can’t regulate “disinformation” and “misinformation” without first determining what it is, and you can’t determine what it is without assigning someone the authority to make those distinctions. There are no benefecent, impartial and omniscient entities who can be trusted to become objective arbiters of absolute reality on our behalf. There are only flawed human beings who act in their own interest, which is why we’re now being censored and propagandized about a war.

In literally the very next instant after being given the authority to decide what’s true and false on our behalf regarding Covid, those same government, media and tech institutions launched into World War II levels of propaganda and censorship over a war we’re not even officially in. It was like they all said “Oh good, we get to do that now, finally.” The consensus that it was fine to launch into a shocking information lockdown about Ukraine was already formed and prepped for roll-out the day Russia invaded. It was taken as a given that they had that authority.

Over the last two years you’d get called an “anti-vaxxer” and worse if you said you didn’t think government-tied monopolistic megacorporations should be restricting speech about Covid measures that affect everyone, but it turns out those who issued these warnings were 100 percent correct.

It is clear now, as we see what we are becoming, that granting these powerful institutions authority to sort out fact from fiction on our behalf is far more dangerous than misinformation about a virus ever was. Now here we are, with the empire setting up “disinformation” boards while it escalates aggressions with Russia by the day and prepares to do the same with China in the not-too distant future. Our whole civilization is being organized around winning US propaganda wars. 

Caitlin Johnstone ⏳ @caitozPayPal is just openly conducting politically motivated financial censorship of indie media now. First @MintPressNews and @calebmaupin, now Consortium News. Silicon Valley is the censorship arm of the US empire. Consortium News @ConsortiumnewsPayPal Cancels CN Account; May Seize Balance https://t.co/qmQ7rmoX4uMay 1st 2022259 Retweets593 Likes

Censorship is bad because free speech is how society orients itself toward truth, course-corrects when it’s going astray, and holds power to account. This is true whether censorship is by the government or by tech oligarchs. Only morons act like this is some weird right wing thing.

People say, “Freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom of reach!”

And the answer to this is always, yes it does you idiot. If people who support status quo power have access to all the largest voice amplification platforms while critics of status quo power don’t, this kills the very purpose of free speech protections. Free speech protections are enshrined exactly because unrestricted speech puts a check on power. If critics of status quo power structures are being banned from the platforms where people get their voices heard, this function has been nullified.

You can’t say your society has free speech if critics of status quo orthodoxies aren’t free to speak where they will be heard, for exactly the same reason you can’t say people have free speech in Saudi Arabia as long as nobody hears their criticisms of the government. 

Caitlin Johnstone ⏳ @caitozThis is getting so unbelievable cringey. I have a feeling I’d be sick of this guy even if I fully bought into the empire’s Ukraine narratives. April 30th 20221,092 Retweets7,188 Likes

Because free speech is designed to put a check on status quo power, it is exactly the voices who criticize the status quo that must be protected. Some of these voices will be unpalatable, but the alternative is permitting a Ministry of Truth to decide what dissent is permissible, an authority that’s certain to be abused. 

Speech isn’t free if it isn’t free in all the areas where people congregate to speak. If only mainstream supporters of the status quo have free access to all platforms, then free speech isn’t happening, and power has a lot more ability to do what it likes unchecked by the public. Saying it’s fine because people are still free to go to Gab or Truth Social to voice their criticisms of establishment Ukraine narratives or whatever is the same as saying it’s fine because people can still speak their criticisms of the government into a hole in the ground. Free speech is not happening.

Consent for this was given when we allowed these powers to assume complete narrative authority over what constitutes “misinformation”. It’s never too late to revoke consent, though. It just means the fight to pry our voices out of the hands of our rulers is going to be a tough slog.

Biden’s Brzezinski Plan for Russia

Posted by M. C. on May 2, 2022

Whatever your views of Russia and Russian policy in Europe, ask yourself one question: is all of this worth a nuclear war? Is it that important to average Americans – who themselves are being fed through the metaphorical meat grinder of economic collapse – who governs Russia and where Ukraine’s ever-changing borders might wind up? Does any American really believe that if we fail to fight Putin to the death we’ll be speaking Russian in Peoria next year?

https://mailchi.mp/ronpaulinstitute/bidensleep?e=4e0de347c8

Dear Friends:

Happy May Day! That may sound a bit odd coming from me, but I do have some fond memories of the “Workers’ Day.”

When I lived in Hungary I would go out to the Városliget (City Park) to where the Munkáspárt – the renamed Hungarian Socialist Workers’  (Communist) Party – would hold a big picnic for its remnant, serving up the traditional sör és virsli (beer and hot dogs). And all of it free or nearly free. The irony of enjoying a free lunch and a few brews from communists was just too tempting. But by and large, they weren’t bad people. Just misguided. The real criminals from the Communist era had already long ago joined the “pro-West” political parties and enjoyed cozy relations with the US Embassy in Budapest!

On to the main topic: a few reflections about the current status of the US/Russia war. Yes, I wrote it: US/Russia war. Let’s call things what they really are. In fact, this is no conspiracy theory at all. The true goal of US policy in the region was revealed this past week by none other than US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, when he clarified that the aim wasn’t really to help plucky upstart Ukraine recover its “democracy,” but rather to weaken – and hopefully disintegrate – Russia itself. 

He said: “We want to see Russia weakened to the degree that it can’t do the kinds of things that it has done in invading Ukraine.”

That’s a much different set of objectives, and in fact it comes closer to what Dr. Paul asked in mid-March, “Is Washington Fighting Russia Down to the Last Ukrainian?

That explains why the US is pouring billions of dollars in military equipment into notoriously-corrupt Ukraine – with another $33 billion on the way!

Suddenly the narrative of brave Ukraine fighting for its freedom and the sanctity of its borders has dropped, as the real goals are being revealed by those in charge. Just like the 2003 US attack on Iraq was initially sold to us as gifting democracy as a “favor” to a grateful Iraqi people. We all know how that turned out. Odd that people resent having their infrastructure decimated and a million killed. Ingrates.

Likewise Ukrainians are waking up and seeing that all’s not as meets the eye. Wives and mothers in the western Transcarpathia region of Ukraine took their antiwar sentiment to the local Recruitment Office, demanding that their sons and husbands stop being sent to the meat-grinder at the front lines in eastern Ukraine. Turns out the people in the middle aren’t all that crazy about being victims in a proxy war between two great powers. People on the ground know very well that the “Ukraine’s winning” narrative is just propaganda for gullible Western consumption.

Giving Russia it’s own Vietnam? Hmmm…it seems like we’ve seen this movie before. Oh yes…we have!

It all reeks of the grand scheme of the late, not-so-great, global chessboard player Zbigniew Brzezinski, who fondly and famously recalled his master plan for the Soviets in Afghanistan during an interview in Le Nouvel Observateur (France), Jan 15-21, 1998, p. 76:Q: When the Soviets justified their intervention by asserting that they intended to fight against a secret involvement of the United States in Afghanistan, people didn’t believe them. However, there was a basis of truth. You don’t regret anything today?Brzezinski: Regret what? That secret operation was an excellent idea. It had the effect of drawing the Russians into the Afghan trap and you want me to regret it? The day that the Soviets officially crossed the border, I wrote to President Carter: We now have the opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam war. Indeed, for almost 10 years, Moscow had to carry on a war unsupportable by the government, a conflict that brought about the demoralization and finally the breakup of the Soviet empire.Q: And neither do you regret having supported the Islamic [integrisme], having given arms and advice to future terrorists?Brzezinski: What is most important to the history of the world? The Taliban or the collapse of the Soviet empire? Some stirred-up Moslems or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the cold war?Yes, just some “stirred up Moslems.” Including a guy called “Osama bin Laden.” That makes it all the more disturbing that the Pentagon admitted it has “no idea” what happens to the billions of dollars in advanced weaponry it’s pumping into Ukraine. CNN quotes one US intelligence official on the weapons Washington is sending to Ukraine:We have fidelity for a short time, but when it enters the fog of war, we have almost zero… It drops into a big black hole, and you have almost no sense of it at all after a short period of time.That’s reassuring. Especially as the Pentagon revealed last week that it “gifted” the Taliban (who Washington had fought for 20 years) with seven billion dollars in weapons when Biden’s horribly-botched evacuation took place last year.

And just as in Afghanistan, Ukraine has its own little extremist problem…Remember: the same people who botched Afghanistan for 20 years and then botched the withdrawal from Afghanistan are in the process of botching our involvement in Ukraine.

Going full Brzezinski on Russia – using Ukraine as a battering ram – may sound good to Brzezinski’s “intellectual” heirs like Victoria Nuland and Tony Blinken, but the big wild card in their grand scheme is that Russia this time sees through it and (correctly) views the Biden Bros scheming as an existential threat to the country (as we would were the shoe on the other foot). So it has openly admitted that it is willing to use its vast nuclear arsenal to fend off any such Beltway efforts.

Whatever your views of Russia and Russian policy in Europe, ask yourself one question: is all of this worth a nuclear war? Is it that important to average Americans – who themselves are being fed through the metaphorical meat grinder of economic collapse – who governs Russia and where Ukraine’s ever-changing borders might wind up? Does any American really believe that if we fail to fight Putin to the death we’ll be speaking Russian in Peoria next year?

Time to fight back against the Beltway war machine!

Here’s Everything the Media Won’t Tell You About Nina Jankowicz, Biden’s New Minister of Truth

Posted by M. C. on May 2, 2022

So, who exactly is Nina Jankowicz? Certainly, not a person with any concerns about preserving freedom of speech or expression. A quick look at her Twitter history is enough to dispel that. When Facebook permanently banned Donald Trump from its service, Nina was in the wings complaining that this punishment was not harsh enough. Through a metaphor, Nina explained that only mass bans on hundreds or thousands of accounts would be enough to “fix” the disinformation “problem.”

In the aftermath of our reporting, Nina joined a veritable army of “disinformation” journalists doing damage control, though Nina was a little too dim to properly understand what was going on. Here is the disinformation expert Nina reassuring her followers that national security professionals would never dare turn their tools inward against the American people—and, still more important, that color revolutions have nothing to do with race!

Revolver News

Just when you thought the Globalist American Empire couldn’t get more Owellian, the Department of Homeland Security is here to make it all worse.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas testified Wednesday that the Department of Homeland Security is creating a “Disinformation Governance Board” to combat misinformation ahead of the 2022 midterms. [Fox News]

The timing of the announcement is symbolically fitting, given recent warnings from journalists, NGOs, and prominent Democrat Senators that the prospect of Elon Musk restoring free-speech to twitter constitutes a “danger our democracy.”  It is only right then that one of our nation’s largest national security bureaucracies should set up a special “governance board” to address the threat of so-called disinformation that emerges when speech isn’t entirely controlled by the Regime and its proxies.

The DHS has not said much about what the “Disinformation Governance Board” will actually do, but Politico’s brief write-up on the announcement offers some clues:

DHS is standing up a new Disinformation Governance Board to coordinate countering misinformation related to homeland security, focused specifically on irregular migration and Russia. Nina Jankowicz will head the board as executive director. She previously was a disinformation fellow at the Wilson Center, advised the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry as part of the Fulbright Public Policy Fellowship and oversaw Russia and Belarus programs at the National Democratic Institute. [Politico]

In case you’re not up-to-date on Government approved euphemisms, “irregular migration” is the new politically correct term for what used to be called “illegal immigration.” We dare the reader to google “irregular migration” and consult what images pop up. Given that the DHS has become a de-facto full service travel agency for illegal aliens pouring over the border, it makes sense that the same agency would want to label any criticism of its policies as dangerous “disinformation.” That “Russia” also falls under the DHS’ new Ministry of Disinformation’s portfolio is arguably even more ridiculous. Didn’t we just learn that the Hunter Biden laptop story, which dozens of media outlets and former intelligence officials demanded to censor as “Russian disinformation,” turned out to be totally true and legitimate?

The specific choice of the Department of Homeland Security to host this new governance board is telling. In 2020, the Trump DHS released a report claiming that “white supremacy” was the single greatest security threat facing America. Mere months ago, the DHS raised the national threat level on the grounds that “misinformation” about Covid-19 or the 2020 election would drive extremist violence.

Key factors contributing to the current heightened threat environment include:

  1. The proliferation of false or misleading narratives, which sow discord or undermine public trust in U.S. government institutions:
    • For example, there is widespread online proliferation of false or misleading narratives regarding unsubstantiated widespread election fraud and COVID-19. Grievances associated with these themes inspired violent extremist attacks during 2021.
    • Malign foreign powers have and continue to amplify these false or misleading narratives in efforts to damage the United States.

[DHS]

In 2002, Congress created the DHS to, among other things, secure America’s border from foreign threats. Now, twenty years on, the DHS has repurposed itself to target as domestic terrorists the Americans who complain about what is crossing America’s border. No development could better illustrate how, over the past two decades, the American security state apparatus has evolved from a shield that guards the American people into a weapon that targets them.

But the establishment of the DHS’s Ministry of Disinformation wouldn’t be a proper intelligence community project unless it was absurd as well as dystopian. For the absurdity, we need to look no further than Nina Jankowicz, the disinformation wizard appointed to protect the American people from dangerous speech about illegal immigration and Russia.

So, who exactly is Nina Jankowicz?

Why Biden pursues politically suicidal policies

The politically insane plan to divert resources away from the Veterans’ Administration to care for illegal aliens is only the latest example of the unpopular policies that have driven Biden’s approval ratings into the toilet.

But it’s not insane if the endgame is to “fundamentally transform” the country in such a way that it can’t be reversed, and politics will no longer play the same role.

  • Once geopolitical alliances and relationships have been altered as they’re being since Obama’s first term and now on steroids;
  • Once four years of an open border with possible 6–10 million illegal aliens flood in and alter demographics and domestic policy, including drugs, crime, welfare, education, housing, and of course voting;
  • Once you destroy every major institution from academia and the media to the Democrat party and Executive Branch departments like State, DHS, IRS, DOJ, etc., not to mention the military…

You can’t just reverse it.

So perhaps the endgame, after Obama (and his handlers) realized that eight years of slow change was the wrong method, is four years on steroids while gutting every constitutional protection that’s kept us the greatest civilization in the history of the world.

This could be accomplished only with the past several decades of the left’s infiltration, indoctrination, and money directed at all of this.

I’m not generally a conspiracy theorist and hate them, but there’s no logical explanation for what we’re seeing from a political standpoint.  It seems far more nefarious.

BIG PHARMA SET TO CONTROL ENTIRE FOOD SUPPLY

Posted by M. C. on May 2, 2022

The latest from Greg Reese.

TRANSCRIPT

During the 1990s, Monsanto Corporation’s devastating attack against farmers; their genetically-modified Frankenfoods and their neurotoxic pesticides inspired people to push government into legislating certification standards for foods.

But thanks to Big Pharma, Bill Gates and pop culture media brainwashing, Monsanto still stands strong and is ready to take complete control of your food supply with the help of the same powerful families and foundations who already control the money and the energy.

Their plans to do so are comprehensively laid out in a recent report published at Corey’s Digs.

The indoor vertical farming industry, which is a highly-innovative and efficient method is being funded by Bill Gates and pushed by the World Economic Forum as a replacement to conventional outdoor farming.

Aerofarms is the industry leader in vertical farming and they also co-developed the first CRISPR gene-edited produce product and worked with the NIH to produce proteins for the deadly COVID vaxxines.

Aerofarms makes it clear that they are not conventional gardeners. They’re all about synthetic food products, which is clearly the trend in this growing industry.

Monsanto is creating specially-tailored genetically-cut seeds for these vertical farms and the University of California is developing a plant-based mRNA vaxxine that farms can grow in heads of lettuce, which happens to be the main crop of these new farms.

These GMO farms already provide food at major outlets, including Kroger, Walmart and Whole Foods and are massively expanding.

And it’s not only fresh produce that’s getting genetically-modified. The USDA and FDA have already approved genetic modifications on pigs, salmon and cattle. And they have approved synthetic lab-grown meat.

Bill Gates’ Good Food Institute plans to reimagine meat production with $10 million of support from the USDA. But in order to make their Big Pharma food supply the new American model, they will need a major crisis.

The 2020 lockdowns distressed the supply chain, which was further affected by US sanctions against Russia. This has created a food shortage crisis.

Add to that, over a dozen food processing plants been mysteriously been destroyed in the past several weeks, as well as several fertilizer plants during a major fertilizer crisis.

To make matters worse, Union Pacific Railroad forces a 20% reduction in shipments from the world’s largest fertilizer company.

And when the people demand a solution, as it turns out, Bill Gates is heavily-invested in alternative fertilizers and is also a chief stockholder of the Canadian National railway, who claims to be helping the fertilizer market grow.

Perhaps Bill Gates and Monsanto will volunteer to save everyone with their new gene-edited bacteria fertilizer and maybe it will backfire, like it did in Africa, when after 15 years of trying to help, all Gates and Monsanto accomplished was increasing starvation by 31%.

But that’s OK, because it’s Monsanto-Bayer to the rescue, with their Big Pharma food factories with brand new mRNA vaxxine lettuce.

And as if this wasn’t bad enough, the stated goal of this new Frankenfood industry is to make all food traceable and that means coating it all in nanotech.

Who controls the food supply controls the people;
who controls the energy can control whole continents;
who controls money can control the world.
