Ordinary people can see that they are being flooded with government propaganda. One of the few upsides to COVID-1984 is that authorities' heavy-handed and seemingly irrational responses to the China Virus have provided ordinary people a crash course in identifying governments' routine use of information warfare against their citizens. Propaganda is most effective when it is disseminated in small, continuous lumps over time so that should logical contradictions arise, they are small enough to be smoothed over and eliminated without a majority of people noticing. An obvious example of governments' exploitation of time to subtly rewrite official propaganda so that...

Prepare to be confined to your home again. Prepare to be prevented from working and put on a state dole. Prepare to have your education trashed. Prepare to be banned from travelling and required to show wads of paper or permit intrusive apps to be installed on your phone. I can't say when this will be. But after last week's parliamentary report on the Covid panic, you may be sure it will happen. Next time it may well not be Covid. But that does not matter. A terrifying principle has been established, that shutting down society is a wise and...

Journalists have posted videos of people picketing in front of Boeing's Washington state factories . Now there are reports of a new 'Sickout Fridays' in an attempt to buck the mandate . They're also known as #FreedomFlu Sickouts, as explained by one person who contacted a journalist about the protest . They claim Boeing has acted in bad faith with regards to the vaccine mandate, which requires employees to be vaccinated by December 8. Boeing employees are reportedly planning a weekly 'sickout Fridays' protest against a new COVID-19 vaccine mandate. The aerospace giant said on Tuesday it will require its...

I debated whether to include “medical” in this headline. After all, fascism is fascism, right? It hardly requires a modifier.Moreover, fascism and the medical profession share a long and sordid history. During the 1930s, German doctors joined the Nazi party at four times the rate of other professionals. Among the Nazis’ most heinous crimes against humanity were their medical experiments on human subjects—atrocities that gave rise to the Nuremberg Code, which states that “the voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential.”From that international treaty comes our modern notion of “informed consent”—something we’re now ignoring in our push to...

Source: Jonathan FeldsteinI’ve read many great books, but it’s rare that I have the urge to thank the author. In the case of “Hidden Heroes,” I wanted to do so on two levels: to thank Pam Cohen for her outstanding recounting of details of the struggle to free Soviet Jews, and for her incredible role in making so much of the outcome about which she’s recounted possible to begin with. One of the beautiful things about “Hidden Heroes” is that while recounting her experiences, Pam interweaves stories of the lives of many of the refuseniks on whose behalf she advocated....

The Speaker of the House of Commons has said he is working "at pace" with police and the home secretary to find ways to improve safety for MPs. Sir Lindsay Hoyle, who oversees MPs' security, said he had reflected on their vulnerability but did not want them to stop meeting constituents. He also called for a "kinder" political discourse "based on respect". It comes after the killing of Conservative MP Sir David Amess at his Essex surgery on Friday. Sir David, 69, was stabbed multiple times at Belfairs Methodist Church in Leigh-on-Sea, where he had been meeting members of the...

The killer of Tory MP Sir David Amess planned the murderous assault more than a week in advance, security sources have told The Mail on Sunday. As police continued to question a 25-year-old British man of Somalian descent last night, sources revealed that the attacker had booked an appointment at Sir David's constituency surgery before stabbing the politician 17 times. The suspect was named last night as Ali Harbi Ali, the son of a former communications adviser to the prime minister of Somalia. Harbi Ali Kullane, confirmed that his son was in police custody following the stabbing and said he...

The NFL has betrayed us again, this time with the God-awful firing and public lynching of Las Vegas Raiders head coach Jon Gruden. But why should the way the NFL treated Gruden surprise anyone? After all, the NFL is always wrong about everything. Actually, it's clear the NFL's whole goal in life is to throw their own customers under the bus while courting people who have never watched NFL football and never will. Remember the recent TV ads reporting that "(t)he NFL is gay ... lesbian ... bisexual ... transgender." Really? Is that who sits in the stands? Is that...

A Roman Catholic priest has accused police of preventing him from giving Conservative MP Sir David Amess his last rites as he lay dying in his Essex constituency. Father Jeffrey Woolnough arrived at the police cordon stretching across tree-lined Eastwood Road North in Leigh-on-Sea, offering to administer the last rites to the devout Catholic, 69, on Friday afternoon after he was allegedly stabbed multiple times by a suspected terrorist. But he told the Mail: 'The officers said that because it was a crime scene, and also the nature of the scene, it just wasn't possible.' MailOnline has contacted Essex Police,...

Empathy is an important human emotion, but sometimes people keep repeating the same stupid mistakes that make it nearly impossible to continue to give a damn about them. Someone suffering severe headaches, for example, can cause a serious empathetic response from people, but that goes away quickly, and likely forever, if you discover that person continually hits themselves in the head with two-by-four. There comes a certain point when any emotion – empathy, sympathy, whatever – becomes counterproductive. When it comes to Democrat voter groups, I’m long past that point. The odds of you knowing someone who is or was...

It isn’t hard to point out the failures of Democrats. They’re so numerous it would be difficult to compile a comprehensive list of them. But two recent political gambits by congressional Democrats are falling flat on their face. Biden’s SCOTUS Commission and the congressional J6 commission have completely failed in their purpose of hiding their incompetence in managing anything larger than a fundraising dinner. Democrats successfully managed to whip their base into a frenzy over the appointment of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. It seems like ages ago now, but the #MeToo crowd that trashed Kavanaugh was nowhere to...

A woman carrying a baseball bat near the Capitol's West Front on Friday morning "became combative" and bit a Capitol Police officer, the department said. According to the Capitol Police, a woman identified as Olivia Romano, 25, "appeared agitated" and "started yelling at our officers" around 9:30 a.m. Romano allegedly then attacked the Capitol Police officers...

With societal turbulence all around us, many people feel that we are locked in some great and portentous struggle. But because it is so pervasive and multifaced, the nature of this struggle is not readily obvious. There are many fronts on which this struggle is being fought: racial relations, education, healthcare, popular culture, financial system, and freedom of speech, among others. It is not easy to make sense of it all, especially since the battles are highly pitched and emotions are running very high. What characterizes these battles, besides their intensity, is deep polarization. The possibility of the warring camps...

© Provided by Benzinga The world’s richest man keeps getting richer. This week, Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) CEO Elon Musk passed another significant milestone with a wealth greater than two executives who once topped the list. What Happened: Musk is worth $236 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. That total puts Musk ahead of Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ: AMZN) founder Jeff Bezos, who Musk superseded in January. Bezos topped the list from 2017 to 2021. More impressive, Musk is now worth more than Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT) co-founder Bill Gates and Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRKA)(NYSE: BRKB) founder Warren Buffett combined....

Mark Twain famously said, “In the first place, God made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made school boards.” If you ever doubted the wisdom of this observation, the conduct of the Loudoun County School Board, the National School Boards Association, and Attorney General Merrick Garland should put paid to your skepticism. A more patent a collection of idiots it would be hard to find. The heroes in this story are Scott Smith, father of a young girl who had been sexually assaulted in a Loudoun County school bathroom by a “gender fluid” boy wearing a skirt, with an...
