In fact, we already passed the appropriate “laws” that spell out that injection developers and manufacturers will be exempt from all liability, and in many cases so will be the governments propagandizing for the injections and softly mandating them. That’s how much actual faith we have in the injections and how much of OUR OWN SKIN we are willing to invest.
Hey, I have a deal for you. Go ahead and inject yourself with this awesome chemical cocktail we came up with. It’s perfectly safe and will protect you from a disease that for those under 55 is less serious than the flu. We’re vouching for it being the safest injection ever.
It’s so safe that we have no doubt that at least 70-80% of the global population should be injected with it as soon as possible, and we’ll devote enormous collective resources to make that happen.
In fact, to motivate you to get injected we may not allow you to go back to your normal lives ever. Without your “green pass” forget about plane travel, or eating out, or enrolling your offspring in schools, or working in a school or hospital. But it’s okay because we are 100% certain it’s safe, and we’re vouching for that. And oh yeah, we also want an exemption from all liability. If you do suffer some ill effect from the injection soon after taking it, or years down the line, you’re all on your own. We don’t want to have anything to do with that.

Yeah, you can really trust us that injections are safe and we’ll try to ruin your life if you still do not believe us, or just reject the no-guarantees, no-skin-in-the-game injection as a matter of principle.
Sounds like a good and equitable deal? Yeah, we really know how to signal we consider you a dignified equal in a fair and egalitarian society, peasant. We’re all in this together. If you follow our diktats and things go bad for you, be assured, we’ll still be a-okay.
The catch? Biden’s version was written by the same financial technocrats that FDR went to war with 80 years ago and unlike FDR’s version, the modern green version of the New Deal will have the effect of destroying the productive industrial powers and living standards of the nation once green grids are built.
The gods have certainly made those elites managing the west mad, but whether or not the entire world will have to pay the price of their insanity yet remains to be seen.
Many people couldn’t help but laugh when Biden told the Boris Johnson on March 26 that the USA and it’s NATO allies should create “an infrastructure plan to rival the Belt and Road Initiative” post haste. What would such a program look like? How would it be funded when the USA is so embarrassingly bankrupt? Who among the nations of the world would ever consider buying a ticket onto such a sinking ship?
It took a few weeks for details to finally emerge, but by the end of the April 22-23 Climate Summit hosted by Biden, John Kerry and Anthony Blinken, it has become abysmally clear what delusions possessed the poor president.
After having announced a 52% carbon reduction policy below 2005 levels by 2050, Biden swiftly committed the USA to what he called the most comprehensive infrastructure plan in history with a $2 trillion Green New Deal-like infrastructure program designed to revive the policy of America’s 32nd president Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Mirroring FDR’s Civilian Conservation Corps, Biden has even planned a Civilian Climate Corps, along with a Green Climate Bank to parallel FDR’s Reconstruction Finance Corporation.
The catch? Biden’s version was written by the same financial technocrats that FDR went to war with 80 years ago and unlike FDR’s version, the modern green version of the New Deal will have the effect of destroying the productive industrial powers and living standards of the nation once green grids are built.
A Comparison of Two New Deals
Where FDR’s New Deal was premised the removal of Wall Street’s hegemony over national sovereignty via the Pecora Commission, Glass-Steagall, and SEC, Biden’s Green New Deal is shaped by Central Bankers’ Climate Compacts and green finance strategies authored by the richest oligarchs on the planet like the Bloomberg-Carney Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures. In fact, it shouldn’t come as a coincidence that the first legislative effort to establish a Green New Deal, was not American at all, but was submitted by Britain’s Lord Adair Turner in 2009 while he was acting head regulator of the City of London which remains the nerve center of world finance today as it was a century ago. Up until 2019, Lord Turner was the chair of George Soros’ Institute for New Economic Thinking- an organization devoted to making Huxley’s Brave New World a practical reality and upon which he still serves as Senior Fellow.
Where FDR created large scale infrastructure megaprojects like the Tennessee Valley Authority, Rural Electrification Project, Hoover Dam, Colorado River Basin programs, and St Lawrence Seaway which all had the effect of leap frogging to higher rates of industrial power than at any other time in history, Biden’s Green New Deal professes to do the opposite. Yes, jobs will be created in insulating a few million homes and building windmills and solar panels, however those jobs will be short lived. For once they are built there will be nothing left to do but maintain the solar panels with unionized squeegees in an imaginary world of no change and zero-technological growth that might look good in computer models, but has very little correspondence with humanity’s actual requirements for long term survival.
It appears to be genuinely believed by ivory tower technocrats managing the Biden Administration that financing a green infrastructure program won’t be difficult. The 2020-21 pandemic showed the enlightened elite that money can always just be printed from thin air. The U.S. debt has already risen to 27 trillion, so what’s a few trillion more?
Where that fails, just compensate by imposing Carbon Pricing onto all carbon sinners. Many nations have already gotten onboard that bandwagon with Sweden, Lichtenstein and Canada leading the race charging $129, $96, and $91 per ton of carbon emissions respectively. Coming out of Biden’s Climate Summit, Canada’s Justin Trudeau committed to raising this cost to $170/ton by 2030 while U.S. National Climate Advisor Gina McCarthy announced will soon rise to $56/ton in the USA (a seven fold increase from the $1-7/ton price under Trump).
Additionally, cap and trade schemes are always there for wealthy polluters to purchase unused carbon quotas from poorer polluters at home or abroad, so revenue can certainly be found that way. If all else fails, just raise taxes.
In case poor nations of the world might feel like avoiding this sinking ship in order to work more closely with Russia and China, Biden was kind enough to announce a new international green finance strategy to assist the developing sector in their decarbonizing aspirations.
The Problem with Green Energy
For those who doubt the idea that the USA can or even should meet those 2035 carbon reduction targets, they might have solid reasons for their assumptions. For one thing, the USA currently relies upon 1,852 coal fired power plants which would mean that 11 plants would need to be shut down every month until 2035. What would compensate for this loss of capacity?
Obviously not nuclear, since that has become politically-radioactive in the minds of most of Biden’s liberal constituency.
Would it be green energy that fills the gap? Considering that green energy is magnitudes more costly, and unreliable relative to fossil fuels, hydro or nuclear power, that is also unlikely. The truth is, as Germany discovered recently, shutting down coal and nuclear at home, simply forces a nation to keep fossil fuel plants running as back up for the unreliable green energy grids while increasing imports of coal/natural gas-driven electricity from other countries. In Germany’s case, imports of nuclear and coal-generated electricity from Poland and the Czech Republic increased by 60% since the nation’s industrial base understood that green energy sources could never meet it’s needs. In the USA’s case, Mexico would most likely be the top supplier. Across the European Union where most nations have entirely submitted to pressure to “decarbonize” by 2050, coal, gas and crude oil imports now make up 2/3rds of all energy imports.
While some advocates of the Green New Deal applaud the amazing breakthroughs in green energy tech over the past years which they say has reduced the price per kilowatt hour from an unreasonably high 35 cents to as low as 4 cents today… the truth is that the technology remains largely identical to the photovoltaic cells and windmills of yesterday with the only difference being the massively increased infusions of government subsidies given to private companies producing the green energy which the IMF calculated to be $5.2 trillion in 2017 alone (aka: 6.5% of the global GDP). And where do those subsidies come from? you guessed it. The tax payers.
Lest we forget the oft-overlooked fuel source of bioethanol, over 40% of the USA’s corn production currently gets burned in the form of biodiesel and ethanol while billions starve and suffer food shortages around the world. The high cost of being green.
Geopolitical Incompetence 101
You might now be asking: Why would the USA which has admittedly chosen to define itself as an existential rival to Russia and China to the point of risking a full-scale nuclear war, be so intent on subverting its own economic foundations at a moment that both Russia and China (and over 136 nations of the world) have chosen to move on toward a diametrically opposing paradigm of large-scale infrastructure growth and scientific progress?
If we take the old adage “whom the gods would destroy they first make mad” as a truism, then signs for a bright future for the Green New Dealing western community poor indeed.
Since Biden’s first days as president of the USA, the entire fabric of U.S. governance from top to bottom was completely overhauled in the form of omnibus executive orders designed to make the global climate emergency the top priority for all branches and levels of government- economic, military, intelligence, health and beyond. Under this green geostrategic paradigm, vast starvation, migration patterns, and wars have much less to do with imperial abuse, and everything to do with global warming.
Biden created new directorates of climate policy with offices in the White House, demanded that the Director of National Intelligence and State Department overhaul their governance around dealing with the climate crisis and even passed executive orders banning all oil and natural gas drilling and exploration projects on land or offshore where government land is held. Biden even went so far as to assert that 30% of the entire surface of the USA would be brought off limits to all development by 2030.
“We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force.” — Ayn Rand
That’s about as good a description as you’ll find for the sorry state of our nation.
SWAT teams crashing through doors. Militarized police shooting unarmed citizens. Traffic cops tasering old men and pregnant women for not complying fast enough with an order. Resource officers shackling children for acting like children. Homeowners finding their homes under siege by police out to confiscate lawfully-owned guns. Drivers having their cash seized under the pretext that they might have done something wrong.
The list of abuses being perpetrated against the American people by their government is growing rapidly.
We are approaching critical mass.
The groundwork has been laid for a new kind of government where it won’t matter if you’re innocent or guilty, whether you’re a threat to the nation, or even if you’re a citizen. What will matter is what the government—or whoever happens to be calling the shots at the time—thinks. And if the powers-that-be think you’re a threat to the nation and should be locked up, then you’ll be locked up with no access to the protections our Constitution provides.
President Biden’s long list of executive orders, executive actions, proclamations and directives is just more of the same: rule by fiat.
Now the Biden Administration is setting its sights on gun control.
Mark my words: gun control legislation, especially in the form of red flag gun laws, which allow the police to remove guns from people “suspected” of being threats, will become yet another means by which to subvert the Constitution and sabotage the rights of the people.
These laws, growing in popularity as a legislative means by which to seize guns from individuals viewed as a danger to themselves or others, are yet another Trojan Horse, a stealth maneuver by the police state to gain greater power over an unsuspecting and largely gullible populace.
Nineteen states and Washington DC have red flag laws on their books.
That number is growing.
As The Washington Post reports, these laws “allow a family member, roommate, beau, law enforcement officer or any type of medical professional to file a petition [with a court] asking that a person’s home be temporarily cleared of firearms. It doesn’t require a mental-health diagnosis or an arrest.”
In the midst of what feels like an epidemic of mass shootings (the statistics suggest otherwise), these gun confiscation laws—extreme risk protection order (ERPO) laws—may appease the fears of those who believe that fewer guns in the hands of the general populace will make our society safer.
Of course, it doesn’t always work that way.
Anything—knives, vehicles, planes, pressure cookers—can become a weapon when wielded with deadly intentions.
While in theory it appears perfectly reasonable to want to disarm individuals who are clearly suicidal and/or pose an “immediate danger” to themselves or others, where the problem arises is when you put the power to determine who is a potential danger in the hands of government agencies, the courts and the police.
We’ve been down this road before.
Remember, this is the same government that uses the words “anti-government,” “extremist” and “terrorist” interchangeably.
This is the same government whose agents are spinning a sticky spider-web of threat assessments, behavioral sensing warnings, flagged “words,” and “suspicious” activity reports using automated eyes and ears, social media, behavior sensing software, and citizen spies to identify potential threats.
This is the same government that keeps re-upping the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which allows the military to detain American citizens with no access to friends, family or the courts if the government believes them to be a threat.
This is the same government that has a growing list—shared with fusion centers and law enforcement agencies—of ideologies, behaviors, affiliations and other characteristics that could flag someone as suspicious and result in their being labeled potential enemies of the state.
For instance, if you believe in and exercise your rights under the Constitution (namely, your right to speak freely, worship freely, associate with like-minded individuals who share your political views, criticize the government, own a weapon, demand a warrant before being questioned or searched, or any other activity viewed as potentially anti-government, racist, bigoted, anarchic or sovereign), you could be at the top of the government’s terrorism watch list.

The true reason Fauci refused to get specific is because real the answer is zero – there is no new case number that will ever be low enough for the government to relinquish its death grip on society and the economy.
Pressed further on when Americans will regain basic Constitutional freedoms like assembly, Fauci replied, “I don’t see this as a liberty thing,”
Knowing Americans would never accept the permanent lockdown that he envisions, Fauci’s only recourse when pressed in public testimony is to play hide-the-ball and resort to tired appeals to safety and public health, etc.

WHO Compares COVID ‘Vaccines’ to Umbrellas and Sunglasses in Childish Graphics
The canon of pandering, grasping-at-straws “vaccine art” by the social engineers has accumulated some sad new additions.
Brace yourself.
According to the WHO, which insists you play along with the delusion, injecting experimental mRNA vaccines with no long-term safety studies into your skin is basically the same as sunscreen to block UV rays
PR Machine Sets Its Sights on Unruly ‘White, Rural Conservatives’
The “vaccine” PR machine has subtly shifted its sights to target rural conservative whites premised on concerns over rampant vaccine hesitancy within that demographic:
“More than 45% of white, rural conservatives said they were unwilling even to consider taking the vaccine.”
For much of late 2020 and early 2021, the social engineers had instead focused their “vaccine” propaganda on the black community, which is historically suspicious of government medical advice given the genocidal Tuskegee Syphilis Experiments.
During these unethical experiments – officially titled “Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male” – government scientists injected rural blacks in Alabama with syphilis without their consent and then denied treatment. You know, just to see what happened.
“The goal was to ‘observe the natural history of untreated syphilis in black populations. But the subjects were unaware of this and were simply told they were receiving treatment for bad blood. Actually, they received no treatment at all.”
The unwitting test subjects got syphilis, suffered immensely, and then died.
The CDC via Bill Clinton issued a mea culpa in 1997 under pressure. Now, the agency would have everyone believe they are truly reformed from their historical roots of dangerous medical experimentation without informed consent:
“They believed they had found hope when they were offered free medical care by the United States Public Health Service. They were betrayed.”
The CDC’s image-rehabilitation efforts have not taken – not, at least, in the rural South. Check NPR’s classist accounting, dripping with visceral disgust, of white rural Americans who won’t take the shot:
“On a recent weekend in Hartsville, the local health department had trouble filling up even half the spots for a COVID-19 vaccination event… Down the street at the Piggly Wiggly grocery store, Cris Weske, 43, stopped in to buy a can of dipping tobacco… Weske, who is wearing a ‘We the People’ T-shirt, says the U.S. Constitution protects his choice to opt out of the massive nationwide vaccination effort.”
NPR here employs a psychological manipulation tactic called gaslighting.
Notice the subtle sleight of hand: Weske “says“ the United States Constitution protects his right to control what is injected into his bloodstream—not that it actually protects him, which it does both in letter and spirit.
Taxpayer-Funded Federal Judges Now Parsing Out the Legal Definition of ‘Masks’
American taxpayers pay Federal US District Judge Royce $218,600 per year – for what?
As a condition of pre-trial release, U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth – who has been feeding at the federal judiciary trough since 1974 — ordered that defendant Rachel Powell not just wear a mask, but the right kind, and not just at court but everywhere, all the time, just to stay out of jail:
“Defendant’s decision to appear in a video wearing a mask with holes in it at work mocks compliance with the Court’s Order setting as a condition of pre-trial release that she ‘wear a mask whenever she leaves her residence.’”
The mask deemed unacceptable to the Federal High Court
Powell stands accused of… operating a bullhorn on Capitol grounds or some vague non-violent crime during the Jan 6th protests at DC Swamp Ground Zero.
Per the guidelines in a super-official-sounding “notice” from the CDC (not a law), Powell’s COVID-burka inarguably meets the federal government’s own criteria for a “mask”:
“Mask means a material covering the nose and mouth of the wearer, excluding face shields.”
Essentially, by fiat, the federal judiciary now has carte blanche to arbitrarily imprison US citizens with no grounding in any federal law or statute.
‘What’s the Number?’: Fauci Refuses to Get Specific About End of Social Lockdowns
In an April 15 Congressional hearing showdown between Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Supreme Commander Lord-Doctor His Worshipfulness Anthony Fauci, he refused, yet again, to offer any concrete milestones for when social distancing restrictions might be lifted.
Jordan: In your written statement, you say ‘now is not the time to pull back on masking, physical distancing, and avoiding congregate settings.’ When is the time? When do Americans get their freedom back?
Fauci: When we get the level of infection in this country low enough that it is not a really high –
Jordan: What is ‘low enough’? Give me a number… What metrics, what measures, what has to happen before Americans get their freedoms back?
Fauci: My message… is to get as many people vaccinated as quickly as we possibly can…to get the level of infection in this country low so it is no longer a threat…
Jordan: What determines when? What? What measure?… What standard, what objective standard…?
…
This pointless exchange went on for several more rounds. At no point in his entire testimony to Jordan did Fauci offer any concrete goalposts – just “lower levels” of infection as the benchmark for lifting lockdowns.
The true reason Fauci refused to get specific is because real the answer is zero – there is no new case number that will ever be low enough for the government to relinquish its death grip on society and the economy.
Pressed further on when Americans will regain basic Constitutional freedoms like assembly, Fauci replied, “I don’t see this as a liberty thing,”
Knowing Americans would never accept the permanent lockdown that he envisions, Fauci’s only recourse when pressed in public testimony is to play hide-the-ball and resort to tired appeals to safety and public health, etc.
“Shut your mouth,” Slay Queen Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) concluded from behind her mask. That concluded Rep. Jordan’s fruitless questioning of Fauci.

A lot of gig workers in the United States should be classified as “employees” who deserve work benefits, President Biden’s labor secretary said on Thursday.
“We are looking at it but in a lot of cases gig workers should be classified as employees… in some cases they are treated respectfully and in some cases they are not and I think it has to be consistent across the board,” Labor Secretary Marty Walsh, a former union member, told Reuters in an interview.
“These companies are making profits and revenue and I’m not (going to) begrudge anyone for that because that’s what we are about in America. But we also want to make sure that success trickles down to the worker,” he said.
In the wake of the comments, shares of Uber fell as much as 8 percent while Lyft dived as much as 12 percent. Doordash fell nearly 9 percent and Grubhub was down 3.3 percent.
Walsh’s comments are frightening.
As many as 55 million people in the United States were gig workers – or 34% of the workforce – in 2017, according to the International Labor Organization, and the total was projected to rise to 43% in 2020. It is probably even higher now given the lockdown shifts in the economy.
So what is going on?
It should be understood that this is not just about the reclassification of workers as employees but a desire to create a bigger pool of workers that can be muscled into unions.
Joe Biden has said, “I want you to know I’m a union guy. Unions are going to have increased power.”
He also just signed an executive order creating a task force to promote labor organizing as part of a broader push to strengthen unions.
The task force is led by Vice President Kamala Harris and Walsh.
Keep in mind that all these players are hardcore lefties who promote, at a fundamental crony level, the old-school Marxist view of a struggle between labor and capitalists.
They are going to construct union laws that imply that this struggle exists. In effect, it will push workers to join unions and then provide workers with an incentive to adopt Marxist thinking whereby the government will eventually step in, on a case-by-case basis, to mandate settlements with workers. This will result in even more government influence over corporations.
The workers will become useful idiots drenched in socialist propaganda that will result in more power for the crony power structure elite.
This is pure evil and the ones at the top, setting the new rules, have to know it.
It is extremely destructive to the economy overall.
It is one more example of the fact that Joe Biden is a very bad dude.
Closing that tax loophole, which has existed since 1921, is part of his $1.9 trillion spending package for new social programs. The current law allows investors to defer paying tax on real-estate gains if they reinvest the proceeds in other properties within six months of the sale.
“The income-tax exemptions in our income tax system are not loopholes. The gentleman who complained about loopholes in our income tax . . . implicitly starts from the assumption that all income over fifteen or twenty thousand dollars ought to be confiscated and calls therefore a loophole the fact that his ideal is not yet attained. Let us be grateful for the fact that there are still such things as those the honorable gentleman calls loopholes. Thanks to these loopholes this country is still a free country . . . .” –Ludwig von Mises
President Biden is an aggressive big tax, big government, man.
The man is thinking about destroying capital wealth accumulation in a multitude of ways.
He is really a socialist thinking “hate the rich” man who has no understanding of the important role that capital plays in boosting the standard of living for all of us.
His new economic plan would eliminate a tax break for many real-estate owners that has enabled them to defer paying capital gains on property sales, reports The Wall Street Journal.
Closing that tax loophole, which has existed since 1921, is part of his $1.9 trillion spending package for new social programs. The current law allows investors to defer paying tax on real-estate gains if they reinvest the proceeds in other properties within six months of the sale.
The deals are known as 1031 exchanges, named for the section in the U.S. tax code. The Biden proposal would abolish 1031 exchanges on real-estate profits of more than $500,000.
In theory, capital-gains tax from these deals eventually gets paid. But on the advice of estate planners, many real-estate investors continue to buy and sell properties this way until they die, passing the capital gains on to their heirs tax-free at death. Biden seeks to close the death loophole, too, by taxing capital gains on inherited assets, according to the Journal. –RW
The increasing use of scientific jargon has permitted the State’s intellectuals to weave obscurantist apologia for State rule that would have only met with derision by the populace of a simpler age. A robber who justified his theft by saying that he really helped his victims, by his spending giving a boost to retail trade, would find few converts; but when this theory is clothed in Keynesian equations and impressive references to the “multiplier effect,” it unfortunately carries more conviction. And so the assault on common sense proceeds, each age performing the task in its own ways.
The security walls around the U.S. Capitol may be removed, but the federal response to the January 6 protests has only just begun. The Democrats in Washington are determined to treat the incident as on par with the events of September 11, which may explain a troubling report about the potential use of the famed No Fly List.
Yesterday Nick Fuentes, a right-wing social media pundit who attended the January 6 protests in the capital, alleged that he has been placed on the federal no-fly list, preventing him from traveling to Florida for a political rally. While Mr. Fuentes shared on social media audio of an airline employee suggesting that his flying restriction did come from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), later that night Tucker Carlson informed his audience that his staff could neither confirm nor deny the report. While critics pointed to previous social media posts which documented his being removed from a plane for failing to comply with mask policies, Fuentes has noted that he had no problem flying to Washington in January.
It is unclear whether federal authorities will be in any rush to clarify the situation, but there is no reason not to assume that federal authorities would attempt to use this war on terror tool against political opponents. From its inception, what originally began as sixteen names federal authorities had connected to potential future terrorist attacks quickly grew to over 1 million. As is the case with other surveillance tools handed over to the deep state, there is very little oversight or due process involved in how federal authorities handle potential “terrorist threats.”
Since January there has been a concerted effort by Democrat leaders, former deep state officials, and America’s most despicable neoconservatives to push the Biden administration to utilize the power of the federal government against the supporters of Donald Trump. While the incidents at the Capitol on January 6 are used to justify these calls, the weaponization of federal power against political opponents goes back almost as long as the federal government itself. In more recent years, President Biden’s previous service in the White House saw a Democrat administration that used both the IRS and Department of Homeland Security to target conservatives.
Another reason to expect escalation from the Biden administration against vocal figures like Fuentes is the unique critique of the current regime from the right. The majority of Republican voters do not simply oppose President Biden due to politics, but flatly reject his democratic legitimacy.
The increasing use of scientific jargon has permitted the State’s intellectuals to weave obscurantist apologia for State rule that would have only met with derision by the populace of a simpler age. A robber who justified his theft by saying that he really helped his victims, by his spending giving a boost to retail trade, would find few converts; but when this theory is clothed in Keynesian equations and impressive references to the “multiplier effect,” it unfortunately carries more conviction. And so the assault on common sense proceeds, each age performing the task in its own ways.
Thus, ideological support being vital to the State, it must unceasingly try to impress the public with its “legitimacy,” to distinguish its activities from those of mere brigands….
The gravest crimes in the State’s lexicon are almost invariably not invasions of private person or property, but dangers to its own contentment, for example, treason, desertion of a soldier to the enemy, failure to register for the draft, subversion and subversive conspiracy, assassination of rulers and such economic crimes against the State as counterfeiting its money or evasion of its income tax. Or compare the degree of zeal devoted to pursuing the man who assaults a policeman, with the attention that the State pays to the assault of an ordinary citizen. Yet, curiously, the State’s openly assigned priority to its own defense against the public strikes few people as inconsistent with its presumed raison d’être.
This perspective explains the disproportionate treatment that mostly peaceful protesters at the Capitol in January have received in contrast to those arrested during riots in American cities throughout the past year. The state will always treat those who seriously threaten its perceived legitimacy with greater zeal than those guilty of simply destroying the livelihoods of its citizens.
For decades now, the same political party that often gives lip service to “federalism” has often been the party directly responsible for the growth of federal power. As noted earlier, it took exactly one administration before the Department of Homeland Security, created by the Bush administration, began to target the very voters who elected him to office. It was just two election cycles before the PATRIOT Act was used to target a Republican presidential campaign.
The biggest question that now lies in American politics is whether conservatives are capable of learning from these examples. If the American right is capable of fully absorbing the reality that the greatest threat to their lives, liberty, and prosperity lies domestically—and not abroad—perhaps there is potential for a political rollback of the American empire.
If not, American conservatives will come to understand how little constitutional rights truly mean in the face of a hostile state.
The Sixth Fleet said the Hamilton made the transit “in support of NATO Allies and partners.” The U.S. frequently sends warships into the Black Sea, but this deployment comes at a sensitive time and is clearly meant to send a message to Russia.
The U.S. and its NATO Allies have been hyping Russian military exercises in the region. The Biden administration has expressed “unwavering” support for Ukraine and shipped military equipment to the country amid a stand-off between Kyiv and Moscow.
Separately, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said on Tuesday that U.S. and NATO actions in the region are the region for Moscow’s recent military drills. “The actions of the U.S. and NATO in the European region to increase the combat readiness of troops and strengthen their forward presence is contributing to an increase in military danger,” he said.
NATO forces regularly hold exercises in the Black Sea and are encouraging Ukraine to expand its military presence in the region. In February, Ukraine’s prime minister announced plans for new military bases in the region from NATO headquarters. One will be located on the Black Sea, and the other will be on the Sea of Azov, a waterway between Ukraine and Russia.
Last September, a professor of African studies at George Washington University, Jessica Krug, admitted to faking African and Latina heritage for her entire adult life.
She was apparently about to be outed as a race-faker, and decided to get ahead of the news by admitting that she was “a culture leech.”
According to friends, Krug was militant and aggressive in her stances against systemic racism, going so far as to pick fights in public with other White women, and expect her Black friends to help her.
Clearly Krug thought identifying as Black allowed her to claim the moral high ground from the White devils, and lend her more expertise and street cred in her career as a Professor and author of African studies.
Rachel Dolezal, famous outted after years of pretending to be Black, also benefitted from her faked identity– she was the head of an NAACP chapter.
And who could forget Elizabeth Warren, who was listed as a minority professor at Harvard for years because she thought her high cheekbones made her a Native American. She was later hilariously trolled by Trump, who convinced her to get a DNA test, which she actually bragged about, saying it confirmed that she is at most 1/64th Native American.
This really isn’t a hard phenomenon to figure out. The more you give certain groups in society special advantages and privileges– from the moral high ground to jobs and salaries– the more this will bring the worst type of people out of the woodwork to take advantage.
In the context of two recent studies, it all makes perfect sense. Here, the science confirms what we intuitively know– that bad people take advantage of other people’s good intentions to gain power.
You’ve probably heard of “virtue signaling,” when someone tries to show how morally superior they are because of some cause they claim to care about.
For example, the Instagram influencers caught staging pictures which showed them helping to clean up a neighborhood after a riot. Or a company that tweets out support for gay rights during pride month.
They are signaling that they are virtuous, and reaping the social and material rewards of being part of the “woke” crowd.
But this new research indicates that these Social Justice Warriors might not be so well-intentioned.
The Journal of Personality and Social Psychologyrecently published a paper which analyzed the results of a number of studies on victimhood and “virtue signaling.”
The paper is called Signaling Virtuous Victimhood as Indicators of Dark Triad Personalities.
The “dark triad personalities” are narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism.
The research found that individuals with these three traits are more likely to signal virtuousness or victimhood.
That means psychopaths, narcissists, and shrewd opportunists often take advantage of the social climate for their own gain.
And it’s not just sympathy or social status they gain. The benefits of virtual signaling include real, tangible, gains in resources– as evidenced by the three White posers we discussed.
That’s because the US is now an environment in which it is, according to the study, “increasingly advantageous and even fashionable” to be considered a victim.
It is also used as a way to gain “moral immunity” for “deceit, intimidation, or even violence by alleged victims to achieve their goals.”
In other words, the ends justify the means. As long as you claim to have a noble intention, then it can excuse any amount of terrible behavior in the pursuit of that goal.
And that is why Black Lives Matters embeds its admittedly Marxist goals in the vehicle of racial justice.
Signaling support for disenfranchised groups is a shortcut to get ahead in today’s world.
This obviously doesn’t mean that every “woke” person is a psychopath. Surely some have the best intentions.
But this study confirms that when society gives some people special rights and privileges, bad people will always take advantage of it.
Coupled with another study which was released a couple years back, we can understand perfectly the woke threat coming out of the belly of the beast, Washington DC.
The study called Psychopathy By State found that the concentration of psychopaths in Washington DC was far higher than in any state.
“The presence of psychopaths in District of Columbia is consistent with the conjecture… that psychopaths are likely to be effective in the political sphere.”
Psychos are drawn to power. It is not just that power corrupts, it is that already corrupt people seek power. Government is the best industry to be in for someone with no morals.
The study surveyed samples from the lower 48 states and Washington D.C. to find the prevalence of personality traits which correspond to psychopathy.
Of course, D.C. came in first by far. But as the author notes, that this is not exactly a fair comparison, as it is a city being compared to entire states. The study finds that urban areas, in general, correspond to more psychopathic personality traits.
Another interesting finding is that a higher concentration of lawyers predicts higher psychopathy prevalence. Shocking, I know.
So removing D.C. can you guess which states come in the top three for concentrations of psychopaths?
Connecticut
California
New Jersey
The least psychopathic states are:
West Virginia
Vermont
Tennessee
North Carolina
New Mexico
And it should not be surprising that the main correlation was that state with the lowest percentage of people living in urban areas also had the lowest concentration of psychopaths.
Perhaps psychopaths need to be around more victims, or constantly switch out their friends and acquaintances as they become wise to their antisocial behaviors.
It is possible that psychopaths are more easily recognized and ostracized in smaller communities and rural settings.
The study concludes:
Areas of the United States that are measured to be most psychopathic are those in the Northeast and other similarly populated regions. The least psychopathic are predominantly rural areas. The District of Columbia is measured to be far more psychopathic than any individual state in the country, a fact that can be readily explained either by its very high population density or by the type of person who may be drawn [to] a literal seat of power (as in Murphy 2016).
Hailing originally from Massachusetts, I can attest to the highest corresponding personality trait being “Temperamental & Uninhibited.” Where did you think the term Masshole came from?
If you aren’t a psychopath when you enter the state, you soon become one from the traffic alone. And I wonder if just being in such close proximity to people makes it a necessary adaptation to care a little less about how your actions affect others.
The solution is to not give a single inch to these virtue signaling psychopaths.
Don’t engage them. Don’t fall into their traps, don’t denounce your Whiteness, or apologize for being straight, Christian, rich, privileged, or whatever. That’s a race to the bottom, and the best thing we can do is either ignore them, or relentlessly make fun of them with memes.
What you don’t want to do is go in the other direction, and become the self-fulfilling prophecy by actually becoming racist. Remember, this is a small group of people trying to make everyone else self segregate or identify with a victim group. Just keep it in mind that this narrative is being driven by elitist White liberals, some of whom will go so far as to fake being victims themselves.
The other thing you can do is self-select the group you associate with, and live around. I’ve been doing this for years, and the only time I ever see these ridiculous race baiters and woke mobsters is online.
Remember, the media will take a tiny minority opinion, present it as if it is mainstream, and try to build it into a movement. It’s still dangerous, since the minority can, and does in many cases, take over and set policy. You still have to call attention to the cult to make sure it doesn’t catch on.
But I don’t actually know any woke mobsters in real life, which is either a testament to the power of selecting the people you surround yourself with, or it means, as I suspect, that there actually aren’t that many people who think like this.
And finally, living in a more rural place, or a tight-knit suburban community– which again, you have specifically selected– can also solve a lot of these problems.
Like the study says, these people concentrate in cities, so being rural does get you out of their reach to some extent.

Speaking of gene therapy, Dr. Francis Collins, the head of NIH, made his career on the back of discovering “genes associated with various diseases.”
In all the years of NIH’s existence, with a total budget in the hundreds of billions of dollars, show me ONE genetic cure for ANY disease across the board.
Just one.
I’m waiting.
It turns out that the history of genetics reveals the following: they can ALTER humans with it, but they can’t CURE humans.
First, let’s get this straight. The term “hesitancy” would apply to your pasty-faced nephew, who plays video games 19 hours a day, who’s dragged to the beach one summer afternoon, and is reluctant to stick his toe in the water as he stands near the last little gasp of foam breaking on the sand.
Most of the people who aren’t taking the COVID vaccine aren’t hesitant at all. They’re determined to reject the shot.
Most of the people who don’t want the COVID vaccine are quite sure they want to forego genetic damage, blood clots, and death.
So…who are the “hesitant” ones the vaccine hustlers are going after?
According to an old desiccated man who could play a mortician in an Abbott and Costello movie without a minute of rehearsal, and who happens to be the director of the largest medical research facility in the world—the US National Institutes of Health—Dr. Francis Collins…
According to Collins, the prime target of pro-vaccine propaganda is the dastardly evangelical/Trumper crowd.
Last week, Collins spoke with NBC’s Chuck (aging-wonder-boy) Todd, who made his original journalistic bones deftly pointing a wand at maps of voting districts on Election Night.
Collins intoned, in the manner of a funeral home director expressing condolences to customers over the accident that took the life of their beloved family member, who was driving while drunk and steered his car over a cliff:
“Particularly white evangelicals seem to be resistant to the idea that vaccines are something they want to take advantage of.”
“…certainly Republican men in particular seem to less likely to be interested in the vaccine.”
But wait. NIH head Collins—playing politics—forgot to mention that, according to a recent Harris poll, a whopping 42% of black Americans don’t want the vaccine.
Oops.
Well, no doubt “systemic racism” must be the reason black people are failing to see how glorious the vaccine is. They’re being kept in ignorance by white people.
Actually, that doesn’t seem to be the case at all. A COVID Collaborative poll discovered black Americans have shockingly low levels of trust in the FDA (29%) and drug companies (19%). I’d say those numbers reveal acute intelligence, not ignorance, on medical issues.
Any group that distrusts the FDA at the rate of 71% is medically on the ball.
On the other hand, white Americans are the victims of systemic “safe and effective” lying by The New York Times, CNN, NBC, etc.
White Republicans are also being lied to by Donald Trump, Mr. Warp Speed, who is pushing the COVID vaccine like a lifeboat on the Titanic.
Trump is fronting for the COVID shot with a fervor matched only by Biden and Fauci and Bill Gates.
In an April 16 mass email to his followers (no doubt written by an aide), Trump, a major propaganda whore for Pharma, states:
Vaccine resistance is “deranged pseudo-science.”
“The federal pause on the J&J shot makes no sense. Why is the Biden White House letting insanely risk-averse bureaucrats run the show?”
It’s “sheer lunacy” for Biden “to delay millions of vaccinations and feed fears among the vax-resistant.”
“Indeed, this moronic move is a gift to the anti-vax movement.”
I spoke with a born-again Christian the other day. I asked him whether God had told him not to take the vaccine. He laughed. He said, “God told me to trust my research.”
“When did He say that?”
“I like to think it was just before I wrote to Trump telling him to wake up.”
We’re seeing hustlers on all points of the political spectrum pushing the COVID vaccine—the gene therapy that was designed, in clinical trials, to prevent nothing more than a cough, or chills and fever.
The gene therapy that has never been launched on the public before. The genetic injection that has only gained FDA certification for emergency use—a far lower and looser classification than full approval.
These criminal vaccine promoters deploy outrage and sob stories—whatever they think will play well—as they target various demographics.
Thousands of serious adverse effects from the shot are being reported. You can multiply those figures by 10 or 100 to gain a truer estimate of what is happening; and there are NO data on long-term effects.
You bet your ass people are “hesitant.” Medical authorities are telling them to accept an genetic injection that causes their cells to manufacture a protein they would never make under ordinary conditions.
Speaking of gene therapy, Dr. Francis Collins, the head of NIH, made his career on the back of discovering “genes associated with various diseases.”
In all the years of NIH’s existence, with a total budget in the hundreds of billions of dollars, show me ONE genetic cure for ANY disease across the board.
Just one.
I’m waiting.
It turns out that the history of genetics reveals the following: they can ALTER humans with it, but they can’t CURE humans.
