New York kills off another man named ‘Floyd,’ laying him off from his firefighter job to pay for illegals

Posted by M. C. on April 30, 2024

By Monica Showalter

A blameless man, a contributor to society, a hard working role model for his children, thrown away by the city based on his health condition, solely to pay for five-star hotel accommodations for illegals.

Replacement theory, anyone? This case looks literal. Was he forced to take the mRNA vaccine for COVID, too? Just asking. How is that for gratitude for service?

Where are the protests now that New York City has killed off an innocent man named ‘Floyd’?

There ought to be a few, because a completely blameless man suffered an untimely death and was left high and dry without needed benefits for his funeral and young family, based on the city’s prioritization of illegals over city needs.

Dereke Floyd, age 36, died of an heart attack after being “fired” or laid off, from his job as New York firefighter based on a wave of city cutbacks brought on by its looming ‘bankruptcy,’ as its mayor put it based on its lavish welcome for illegal aliens.

He leaves behind a loving 34-year-old widow, and two small children.

Back in November, the New York Post noted that this was coming:

The NYPD’s force will be reduced to just 29,000 cops by the end of fiscal year 2025 — the lowest level since the mid-90s — amid a slew of city-wide budget cuts revealed by Mayor Eric Adams Thursday as the Big Apple grapples with its multi-billion-dollar migrant crisis.

Under City Hall’s newly unveiled updated 2024 financial plan, the next five police academy classes will be axed — essentially decimating an already strained department as roughly 4,500 officers are expected to leave their ranks within the next 18 months.

Firefighters are also in the firing line with FDNY members who are on “long-term light duties” — meaning they’ve been injured on the job or are out sick — being forced into early retirement or fired under the plan.

Floyd was one of the men on “long-term light duties” and it didn’t take a genius to figure out that there would be tragic cases his, not because he was faking it, as some reputedly do, but because he had a bona fide heart condition, with heart attacks, dating from 2019, and was desperately trying to get back onto regular duty before the mayor axed him.

According to the New York Post:

When Student Basketball Teams Unionize

Posted by M. C. on April 30, 2024

Actually, paradoxically, labor unions lower wages.  Who do you think pays for all those strikes, those elections, those efforts to organize, those slowdowns?  Those monies could have gone to the workers, but they do not.

Someone had better tell those Dartmouth jocks that labor unions are not the be-all and end-all that our friends the woke socialists think they are.

By Walter E. Block

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/04/when_student_basketball_teams_unionize.html

What’s the latest in labor union news?  The Dartmouth basketball team has formed a labor union.

Say what? Aren’t these labor organizations only for employees?  Isn’t it true that the Dartmouth basketball team members are students, not workers?  Yes, and yes, but in making these points, we reckon, is the absence of the fact that Dartmouth College is a member of the Ivy League, and they do things differently than ordinary mortals. Perhaps someone should check on whether the professors there, who led these student-athletes down this particular garden path, have been engaged in a bit of plagiarism, instead of rational teaching of their classes.  Maybe there’s something wrong with the water supply, if that is what they are drinking, in New England.

One way to look at this new initiative is that it is stakeholder theory gone berserk.  Stakeholder theory is the view that yes, the corporation should offer a fair return to the owners, the stockholders, but should also do so for complete strangers, and people who have no ownership rights in the company at all.  For example, workers, suppliers, customers, neighbors, the man in the street (not to say the man in the moon), and people halfway around the globe, to boot, for all we know.

The point is, if (Dartmouth) students can become employees, without working for an employer or being paid to do so, then anyone can.  Hey, I shop regularly at McDonald’s (I don’t, but work with me here).  I’m now going to sign up as many diners of this restaurant as I can, and form a labor union, organized against Ronald McDonald.  We’ll bargain for lower meal prices, cleaner restrooms, etc.  And woe betide management if they do not “bargain fairly” with me and my fellow rent seekers.

I also play chess at tournaments.  Ditto.  I’m gonna organize my fellow competitors, and we’ll demand reduced entry fees.  The National Labor Relations Board can hardly say me nay, given its support for the Dartmouth basketball players.

But I am just getting started.  I’m also a straight white male.  We’re gonna get organized and demand more respect from everyone else.  Pay, too.  I am also fat, bald, and bearded.  Yes, yet another “labor union” is in the offing.

ISRAEL Owns our Military and Congress via NGO’s FDD & JINSA

Posted by M. C. on April 29, 2024

The Israeli complex of Control over US Military, US Congress, US policy, US debt, US allies and enemies is in full spectrum hegemony.   Has been for decades – at least. 

Posted on by Helena

A commenter on my blog was questioning my antisemitism and in support of Israel sent me a link to an article from the Gatestone Institute wherein they claimed Qatar was funding US Universities.  Therefore, the barbarian Muslims were Bad and Israel Good. The point was to prove to me that Muslims are interfering in our colleges which should be a violation.  The President of Gatestone, Nina Rosenwald, is Jewish and a self-described, ‘ardent Zionist’.  She was on the Board of Directors for AIPAC and the Jewish Institute for National Security in America (JINSA).

And there my research did backflips.

JINSA was founded in 1976, 3 years after the Yom Kippur War in Israel.  Its original stated purpose was to make sure that America could produce adequate military supplies for Israel.   In the 1980’s JINSA widened its focus to “general U.S. defense and foreign policy, with missions and meetings with national leaders and officials in:    Ethiopia, Belgium, South Korea, India, Bulgaria, Italy, China, Hungary, UK, Germany, Costa Rica, Spain, Eritrea, Jordan, and Ukbekistan.  

Known for its very Hawkish military views, JINSA works directly with US military officers and the Department of State – aka Blinken.   Facilitating the media propaganda, JINSA writes the op-eds and ads to promote Zion ideologies.  In 2002, JINSA created LEEP, wherein US police and Sheriffs are taken to Israel to teach them ‘techniques for countering domestic terrorism in the US’.  As in the IDF style tactics, training, and strategies are then utilized by US police and security in tactical defense, interrogation and abuse.

Each fall, a member of congress is given the LEEP Award which has a fair number of neoconservatives, including;   Cheney, McCain, Lindsey Graham, and Robert Gates – Secretary of Defense 2007 – among others.

In other words, JINSA is running the US military and Congress.   JINSA works alongside the NGO, Foundation For Defense of Democracies (FDD).  FDD is an Israeli lobby group working in the US to direct the US government’s Affairs.  Funding sources have included;  Bernard Marcus, Sheldon Adelson, Paul Singer, The United Arab Emirates, Roland Arnall, and William Rosenwald Family Fund (Gatestone Institute Nina’s Daddy) – among others.

Empire Managers Say Russia, China And Iran Are Tricking Students Into Opposing Genocide

Posted by M. C. on April 27, 2024

All this drooling imbecility about completely fictional foreign interference being responsible for these campus protests looks even more ridiculous as the Israeli prime minister unabashedly flexes his nation’s extensive influence over US politics to call for a crackdown on campus demonstrations.

Caitlin Johnstone

https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/empire-managers-say-russia-china

Empire managers and propagandists are losing their minds about student protests against the genocide in Gaza on university campuses, so naturally we’re seeing a mad push to frame this as the result of interference by Russia, China, Iran and Hamas. These demented conspiracies of foreign influence come even as Israel’s prime minister openly calls for the US government to quash the university protests by any means necessary.

In a speech supporting the ban of TikTok this past Tuesday, Senator Pete Ricketts said the protests are an example of “the Chinese Communist Party using TikTok to skew public opinion on foreign events.” 

“Look what’s happening in our college campuses right now around this country,” Ricketts said. “Pro-Hamas activists are taking over public spaces and making it impossible for campuses to operate.”

“Why is this happening?” Ricketts continued. “Well, let’s look at where young people are getting their news. Nearly a third of adults 18 to 29, these young people in the US are regularly getting their news exclusively from TikTok. Pro-Palestinian and pro-Hamas hashtags are generating 50 times the views on TikTok right now despite the fact that polling shows Americans overwhelmingly support Israel over Hamas. These videos have more reach than the top 10 news websites combined. This is not coincidence. The Chinese Communist Party is doing this on purpose. They are pushing this racist agenda with the intention of undermining our democratic values. And if you look at what’s happening at Columbia University and other campuses across the country right now, they’re winning.”

These comments from Ricketts are repugnant and deceitful in a whole host of ways, but let’s touch on the big ones. 

The senator’s claim that TikTok is being manipulated to artificially amplify pro-Palestine content is false, as evidenced by the fact that TikTok’s US-based rivals Facebook and Instagram have been showing the same massive gaps between the popularity of pro-Palestine content and the popularity of pro-Israel content. His argument is as logically fallacious as claiming that flat earth content is being artificially suppressed because it’s not as popular as round earth content. Pro-Israel content is just less popular, because it sucks and people don’t like it.

Ricketts’ assertion that “polling shows Americans overwhelmingly support Israel over Hamas” is deceitful; polling shows a majority of Americans oppose Israel’s actions in Gaza, regardless of whether they “support” the Palestinian militant group Hamas.

Biden: White Americans Are the Threat

Posted by M. C. on April 27, 2024

Yet, tens of millions of dumbshit white Americans designated as America’s worst threat by Biden vote for him.

What future can such a collection of morons have?

A white heterosexual who votes for Biden is expressing a death wish.

Biden: White Americans Are the Threat

Paul Craig Roberts

The Main Goal of the Biden Regime Is to Sell-out the Majority White American Population and to declare them as a menace.

Tucker Carlson points out that president Biden, illegitimately in office due to the theft of the 2020 election, has as president of the United States defined America’s majority white population as the major cause of racism and a threat to national unity. Note: it is the majority that is the threat.

Yet, tens of millions of dumbshit white Americans designated as America’s worst threat by Biden vote for him.

What future can such a collection of morons have?

A white heterosexual who votes for Biden is expressing a death wish.

It is the US whose Democrat Government is alienated from its own white majority population that intends to fight wars against Russia, Iran, and China.

This is insanity. Who is going to fight these wars for Biden? The answer is Europeans and the immigrant-invaders into America thanks to Biden’s open border policy. Like Rome in its own self-inflicted decay, the US will be dependent on troops from the immigrant-invaders overrunning its own borders to fight its wars abroad in defense of the borders of foreign countries.

There is no discussion of this whatsoever.

Milei Is Little More Than a Political Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing: Beware the False ‘Libertarian’ Hype

Posted by M. C. on April 27, 2024

By Gary D. Barnett

He made many claims while campaigning for the highest position in government, something no real anarchist could ever carry out, making promise after promise to free the people, and make them prosperous, while claiming he would tear down the very government he was seeking to control. Hypocrisy at this level is saved for the most corrupt among us, as no sane or honest person could pull it off without losing his soul. What that means of course, is that he had no soul to begin with,

“And thus I clothe my naked villainy
With odd old ends stol’n out of holy writ;
And seem a saint, when most I play the devil.”

~ William Shakespeare, Richard III

How easy it seems to me that people are so readily deceived, and that extreme gullibility among the masses remains as the primary attitude evident. I do realize that this is not uncommon, but it is amazingly confounding, after thousands of years of continuous lies by the ruling State; absurdity beyond reason to be sure. But still they vote to choose (have selected) a master to lord over them. Will this idiocy never end? Now, there is a new ‘Saint’ in town, and as depicted by weak-minded so-called freedom advocates, he is alluded to as a ‘self-described’ Anarcho-capitalist. This is Javier Milei, the new god of ‘libertarian’ type posers. Murray Rothbard would roll in his grave at such an idiotic pronouncement as this.

Yet another politician, the lowest form of human possible, is lauded and bowed down to by the fake alternative crowd, who claim to be the freedom society of the peasant class. Those being fooled by these deceitful political imposters have become tiring to say the least, as one after another of these trimmers takes his place at the top of the power pyramid, only to affect his personal and political desires on others, and sees his need for power over the many as his highest purpose. This is always at the expense of his subject class. There are many of these plotting chameleons who reach high positions of power; Trump comes immediately to mind, but in fact, there will always be more to come, as they gleefully follow in the footsteps of their duplicitous predecessors.

This Milei character is no different, but he has been able to trick the alternative media into a frothing state of undue worship, and has taken center stage by storm, even in the face of complete and total contradiction. First and foremost, he is certainly no Anarcho-capitalist. That term is reserved for true anarchists who abhor government and the State, and capitalists, who in the real sense of the word, believe only in actual free markets; meaning private markets without government or government interference or control. Milei is neither of these things, and in fact is the exact opposite. This can be easily uncovered by merely observing every action he has proposed, mandated, or initiated.

He made many claims while campaigning for the highest position in government, something no real anarchist could ever carry out, making promise after promise to free the people, and make them prosperous, while claiming he would tear down the very government he was seeking to control. Hypocrisy at this level is saved for the most corrupt among us, as no sane or honest person could pull it off without losing his soul. What that means of course, is that he had no soul to begin with, but was seeking a position that he was at the same time condemning. This is a common practice of politicians, and is double-speak of course, but could only be meant to fool the weak-minded proletariat, and claimed ‘intellectual’ liberty frauds, and never be a sincere objective. The proof is in his actions, and they are oh so telling of lies, corruption, manipulation, and power-seeking.

House Votes To Protect Every Country Not Named The United States

Posted by M. C. on April 27, 2024

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a landmark bipartisan vote, the U.S. House of Representatives has voted to protect every country in the entire world, as long as that country isn’t named the United States.

“Huzzah! We’ve done it!” Exclaimed Democrats and Republicans as they tearfully hugged each other. “Every single nation on the planet can enjoy the total protection of the United States military! Except the United States. We didn’t have time to add that to the bill. Maybe later.”

The representatives then joyfully called their defense lobbyist donors to tell them the happy news.

“We are proud to fulfill our sacred duty to all the nations everywhere,” said Congressman Dan Crenshaw. “Our military now stands at the ready to protect Brazil, India, Australia, Canada, Japan, Germany, Egypt, Mexico, Nigeria, Russia, Italy, Argentina, France, Turkey, South Africa, Indonesia, United Kingdom, Thailand, Spain, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Vietnam, Philippines, Pakistan, South Korea, Bangladesh, Colombia, Poland, Ukraine, Netherlands, Iraq, Belgium, Sweden, Switzerland, Israel, Portugal, Norway, Austria, United Arab Emirates, Malaysia, Venezuela, Nepal, Greece, Czech Republic, Hungary, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, New Zealand, Singapore, Romania, Chile, Algeria, Morocco, Peru, Ecuador, Angola, Sudan, Tunisia, Bolivia, Afghanistan, Yemen, Mozambique, Syria, Cambodia, Zimbabwe, Jordan, Rwanda, Somalia, Haiti, Madagascar, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Slovenia, Kosovo, Georgia, Uruguay, Paraguay, Papua New Guinea, Libya, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Trinidad and Tobago, Mauritius, Fiji, Cyprus, Luxembourg, Malta, Iceland, Maldives, Brunei, Guyana, Suriname, and Djibouti.”

“Did I leave anyone out? Hm… no, I think that’s everyone that matters.”

At publishing time, an amendment to add the United States to the bill was shot down.
