Yuval Noah Harari, Klaus Schwab's lead advisor at the Word Economic Forum, has announced that human beings are no better than "viruses or bananas" and the WEF has now reached the point where they can "hack humanity."According to Harari, the idea that humans have free will is over, and for those who oppose, there will be no escaping what Harari refers to as the "Secret Police."The messaging coming out of the WEF is becoming increasingly sinister, with Klaus Schwab taking on the role of terrorist group leader, using communications channels to issue ultimatums to humanity. Do what I say, or...

Those aren’t my words. Those are the words of the Washington Post, which just reported:The D.C. Council on Tuesday voted to override Mayor Muriel E. Bowser’s (D) veto of a major overhaul of the city’s criminal code, which city lawmakers had unanimously approved in November despite concerns from court and law enforcement leaders.The bill would, among other things, eliminate most mandatory minimum sentences, allow for jury trials in almost all misdemeanor cases, and reduce the maximum penalties for offenses such as burglaries, carjackings and robberies.Every city gets exactly as much crime as it’s willing to tolerate. And apparently, the voters...

While the brilliant people of Israel have built enough desalination plants to end their water shortages, and the country pays only 40 cents per cubic meter for as much water as people want, all in a densely populated country which is a desert with perpetual drought, the idiotic people of California have chosen to reject desalination in favor of continued water shortages.But that doesn’t mean that California doesn’t have a plan for its water.California is planning to remove all of the racism from its water. This is the text of their plan:https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/board_info/agendas/2023/jan/011823_4STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARDBOARD MEETING SESSION – EXECUTIVE...

George Washington University has one of the largest Jewish student populations in the United States. So it could surprise you that the Washington D.C. private college is again caught in an Antisemitism scandal. While showing a class some paintings of the Prophet Muhammad now cause your termination, the current state of higher education apparently says constructing an entire course on vile anti-Semitism is “academic freedom” and not a concern. Last week, the pro-Israel organization, StandWithUs, filed a complaint with the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights on behalf of Jewish and Israeli students enrolled in GW’s professional psychology program.The...

On Sunday's Meet the Press on NBC, host Chuck Todd made the laughable claim that he’s a journalist who “deals in facts” during a heated back and forth with Wisconsin Republican Senator Ron Johnson on the congressional investigation into President Joe Biden’s drug addict criminal son Hunter Biden. Anyone familiar with Todd’s journalistic track record will realize how absurd his comment was. “I take it at your word that you’re ethically bothered by Hunter Biden,” Todd said to Johnson to which he shot back “are you not?” “I’m a journalist. I have to deal in facts. Senator my question to...

Truckers keep our economy functioning!

Maybe the kids are alright. At least, some of them seem have absorbed an essential lesson from the pandemic and its handling: The people who purport to rule us are idiots, as well as crooks, liars, and generally a sorry lot. Many sectors of the Internet were talking recently about an essay by 14 year old British school boy Jack Watson, who writes that the chief lesson he took from the pandemic was that the people who make the rules don’t follow them. With admirable concision, Watson dissects the British response to the pandemic, which parallels our own, and that...

It’s not every day you find a government document calling for Cato Institute employees to be charged with treason, but as a new article in The Dispatch details, here we are: "In March 2020, a maritime shipping advisory panel offered a simple suggestion to the government: Charge all past and current members of two libertarian think tanks with treason. "It is certainly not the first time a bunch of libertarians angered members of a bureaucratic panel. But this backlash stemmed from criticism of the Jones Act, a century‐​old law that imposes requirements for shipping between American ports." Haley Byrd Wilt’s...

Watching the wicked prosperA lot of people write about the specifics of elections and politics, but I rarely do. The primary reason for this used to be that I was bored by it. That reason still exists, but it has been demoted. Now the primary reason is that elections no longer matter. I wonder how long this has been so. This latest revelation is merely gravy. These documents and all the others are from Biden’s time as vice-president – which means that, unlike Trump, Biden had no constitutional authority at that time to declassify said documents, much less toss them...

There’s an apparent trend that’s forming across America, and for once it’s not a negative one. More Americans are rapidly waking up to the reality that the Covid-19 jabs “may” be ineffective and unsafe. For those who regularly read our stories or hear my shows, you’ve likely been aware of these facts for a long time. But now the “normies” are waking up in droves which is prompting responses from organizations that had previously been firm and confident in their pro-vaxx stances.

The Chicago mayoral primary election is underway. They’ve winnowed the field a bit – down to seven challengers plus the incumbent, at this writing – and people are doing their polling, walking precincts, and putting up yard signs. And there are commercials; in the biggest media market in the Midwest, in which the Democratic mayoral primary is the biggest contest, you can already be sure that the only real winner in this election will be the radio and TV people, selling those 15, 30, and 60 second spots to put ads on the air. What are the issues? Tax and...

New York City kept letting this violent serial criminal out again and again and again, until he finally murdered a 61-year-old woman by repeatedly hitting her on the head with a rock. For this murder, he was only sentenced to 20 years. With parole, he could be out a lot sooner. I wonder how long it will be until he gets out and murders someone else. Every city gets exactly as much crime as it’s willing to tolerate.

"Was he alone in possession of a memory?” wondered Winston Smith as he starts a diary in the novel 1984. ******************************************** I resonated to that line massively when I read it again in my umpteenth re-reading of George Orwell’s masterpiece. Yes, I know. Constantly referring to the Orwellian-ness of everything is just as bad as comparing every authoritarian who pops up to Hitler, but there is this feeling around the edges these days…of being stuck in an eternal present where no one knows anything about the past; that nothing’s very deep; that opinions are always binary and that there’s no...

However dreadful its political class, the US’s fundamentals are overwhelmingly strong.The United States today stands as a living contradiction to the ‘great man theory of history’. For the US is a great country led by small minds. In recent times, it has been ruled by a narcissistic moral reprobate and it is now being run by a cognitively deficient and scandal-plagued politician. There is a growing feeling, particularly among the young, that today’s America is diminished. Yet the US remains the world’s premier power, and its last best hope against a rising authoritarian tide. America: a nation of giants led...

The facts about the Second Amendment in a short video.

Just when one thinks one has heard everything...one is proven wrong. Outgoing speaker of the Blouse Louse House Nancy Pelosi recently wrote her last "Dear Colleague" letter to her Democrat co-conspirators/comrades. In this missive, she stated, "During the 117th Congress, President Biden and Congressional Democrats have put forth a shining vision of justice for all. Together, we have worked tirelessly to infuse this value into our legislative efforts. We can all take immense pride in our achievements toward that goal, which is making a real difference in the lives of the American people." Justice? For all? Tell that to all...

Reuters and Life News are reporting that Justice Sonia Sotomayor has a “sense of despair” and sadness when she thinks of recent Supreme Court decisions. Although she didn’t outright mention the Dobbs Decision returning abortion law to the States, she is a well-known abortion defender. Justice Sotomayor is a fan of killing babies. From LifeNews, here is the reporting: Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor expressed a “sense of despair” and sadness Wednesday about recent decisions by the conservative-majority court, including the Dobbs v. Jackson abortion case. Sotomayor and two other justices dissented in the historic June ruling, which overturned Roe...

One of America’s storied Ivy League executive training grounds is elevating a view of capitalism that shuns the very enterprises from which its namesake made his fortune: In 2023, the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School will offer a new major called Environmental, Social and Governance Factors for Business. The nation’s first business school was founded in 1881 by Joseph Wharton, an industrialist who made a killing in mining and manufacturing, the sorts of “dirty” industries that ESG proponents disfavor. Now, the school that bears his name will have the distinction of becoming the first prominent institution to offer an ESG...

FReepers may recall some discussions of a case in Moab, UT around the time of the Gabby Petito murder investigation. A lesbian couple were found deceased from shotgun injuries in a remote campsite near Moab, UT. At the time there was some speculation that Petito's male companion Brian Laundrie could have been involved. It turned out otherwise. The link provided explains that police tracked down a former co-worker of one of the victims, who had already committed suicide in Iowa when the investigation located his last known whereabouts. Details in the link.
