The world is heading quite rapidly toward tyranny. We are in a revolutionary period that will dramatically change civilization. Few people understand the gravity of our situation. Here are some of the reasons why the majority of people seem oblivious to the danger. These psychological shortcomings explain why we are sleepwalking into tyranny. The Normalcy Bias “is a cognitive bias that occurs in times of crisis, leading us to disregard any signs or warnings that we are in danger. ... Normalcy bias is a defense mechanism that lulls us into thinking life will just continue as it always has.” It...

The Biden administration was roasted this week after it unveiled an initiative offering Americans the chance to win thousands of dollars for submitting a video showcasing their electric vehicle (EV). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) - which has pursued a regulatory regime that experts say will force more EV purchases in the coming years - announced the so-called "EV Video Challenge" on Tuesday, offering a total of $13,500 to Americans. Almost immediately after the announcement, the agency was hit with criticism and accused of hypocrisy. "How is the Biden Administration's push to mandate Progressive Lifestyle Choices working out?" the Alliance...

From the halls of Ivy to the Fourth Estate, once-respected institutions are revealing themselves to be at the forefront of efforts to upend the mores and conduct which make ours a civilized society worth defending against barbarism. From the halls of Ivy to the Fourth Estate, once-respected institutions are revealing themselves to be at the forefront of efforts to upend the mores and conduct which make ours a civilized society worth defending against barbarism. I’ve already detailed some of the outrageous anti-Semitic, anti-American actions which so many colleges and universities have tolerated. (Canary Mission has done an outstanding job detailing...

"He who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him" (Heb. 11:6). All who come to God in faith will receive the reward of eternal life. We've seen that without faith it's impossible to please God. And the first step in faith is believing that God exists. In addition, we must also believe that He answers our prayers—more specifically, that He redeems those who come to Him in faith. Scripture repeatedly tells us that God not only can be found, but also desires to be found. David said to...

Would you wear a soccer shirt that says HAMAS? There should be a call to boycott Qatar, arrest Qatar's emir until Qatar hands in Hamas leaders hiding in Qatar, seize Qatar's oil fields to pay for the war against Hamas By Ezequiel Doiny Simpleflying.com reported "The Qatar Airways name and brand are no strangers to the football world, with the carrier having sponsored several major clubs worldwide.

Catastrophe is imminent for civilians trapped in Gaza. States cannot provide the medical care needed without significant risk. The UN must step up and coordinate efforts, regardless of public rows with Israel.

Former President Trump doubled down on calling for the death penalty for drug dealers Saturday. “President Xi in China controls 1.4 billion people, with an iron hand, no drug problems, you know why they have no drug problems?” Trump said at a campaign event in New Hampshire Saturday. “Death penalty for the drug dealers.” “You want to solve your drug problem, you have to institute a meaningful death penalty for… a drug dealer,” the former president continued. This isn’t the first time the former president has called for the death penalty for drug dealers. Back in June, Trump notably advocated...

Like many teenagers, 15-year-old Arnaq took a part-time job in a local shop to earn some money. Appallingly, though, the store manager sexually assaulted her six times over the next two years – and then she became pregnant. Then, chillingly, after she had an abortion, doctors secretly inserted a contraceptive coil as part of a brutal, state-organised campaign by the Danish government to control the population in Greenland, its former colony. The device, also known as an IUD, remained inside her for five years until it was discovered when – mystified by her inability to become pregnant – she went...

A seismic shift has taken place in teen culture in just fifteen years. Before 2007, gender dysphoria was so rare among girls that there was no extant scientific literature on teen girls having gender identity disorders. None. In the last fifteen years over three hundred gender clinics have opened in America. In the UK, from 2010-2020, the Tavistock gender clinic saw a 4,400 percent increase in teen girls presenting for gender transformation treatment.Eva, the mother of a 12-year-old Christian girl was at a church luncheon when she received an email from her daughter, Grace, declaring, “Mom and Dad, I need...

Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger explained in an interview recently that Europe had made a serious mistake by creating within itself, through mass immigration, populations that reject all its norms, values and a “constitutional basis”. He deplored the fact that in 2023 in Berlin, almost 80 years after the Holocaust, people, with complete impunity, are shouting “Death to the Jews” in the streets.In the hours following the revelation of the butchery committed by Hamas, a wave of racist violence and attacks began in Europe, especially in France. Against Arabs or Muslims? Not at all. Against Jews, of course....

Israel should arrest Qatar's emir until Qatar hands in Hamas leaders hiding in Qatar, seize Qatar's oil fields to pay for the war against Hamas By Ezequiel Doiny Qatar not only finances Hamas, it also privides refuge to its leaders. On October 11, 2023 the Wall Street Journal reported "Two former senior U.S. security officials called for military action against Hamas leadership allegedly being provided safe haven in Doha if Qatari authorities don’t hand the officials over to the U.S. or Israel. Ismail Haniyeh, president of the Hamas political bureau sanctioned by the U.S. under terror powers, allegedly oversaw from...

Following its SPAC merger in August, shares of VinFast Auto (NASDAQ:VFS) went on one almighty tear, going from its $11.10 debut price to $93 over the space of two weeks, with the Vietnamese electric vehicle (EV) maker’s market cap soaring to $190 billion at some point, making it briefly the world’s third most valuable carmaker, only behind EV colossus Tesla and auto giant Toyota. The comedown, however, as you might expect following such an unlikely surge, has been fast and brutal, with the shares now trading 46% below the debut price. While the improbable former valuation has now come down...

Congress must demand the US widthrawal from UNESCO: "Israel’s Foreign Ministry blasts UN’s cultural agency over resolution on the Gaza war which was critical of Israel but failed to condemn Hamas." https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/380137?utm_source=email&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=share

The Celts of the La Tène civilization, who were prosperous in the late Iron Age around 450 BC, lived in the settlement until 1000 AD. The Celtic peoples first inhabited the area that is now Bavaria, but the Romans eventually overcame them and integrated it into their empire.During an archaeological investigation as part of the development of a new residential area, an above-average number of house plans from former settlements were discovered. These post holes, now visible as circles in the gravel, are the last remains of individual mine houses. They provide impressive evidence that around 500 people lived in...

Looking for Freeper advice. My son is applying to colleges that have a Film major. He wants to be a producer. He wants to start his own business. We are in California, and you wouldn't think that CA is veteran friendly, but California does grant tuition waivers for all California public colleges for 0%+ disabled Vets. I'm afraid that some more liberal colleges will require the Covid VAX. I'm adamant about my kids not getting that vax. Any Freepers in the Film industry? Is there such a thing as a conservative or semi-conservative public college in California?

When Hamas’ October 7 terror attack turned life in Israel upside down, these Americans took action. Some flew to Tel Aviv, feeling inspired to help. Others, who were visiting Israel, dug in and stayed. It was not about picking up arms. Instead, they did things – like cooking meals, babysitting the soldiers’ children, helping on farms – that impacted the everyday lives of Israelis. Here are the stories of the Americans who are keeping Israel going. The firefighter helping his Israeli brothers Schuyler Gordon, 37. Law clerk and volunteer fireman from Great Neck, New York. Volunteered as a firefighter. After...
