The “Great Reset”: The same old “New World Order” - Third Wave bringing in a multi-tribal global cult​ “That which has been is that which shall be; and that which has been done is that which shall be done; and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there a thing of which it may be said, Behold, this is new? It has been long ago, in the ages which were before us.” - King Solomon There is no doubt that the incredible advancements we have seen in technologies, sciences, and other fields have given modern civilizations unparalleled capabilities...

Finland: Leftist government chartering flights to bring Islamic State jihadis back to the country DEC 16, 2019 2:00 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER What could possibly go wrong, other than the total collapse of Finland as a free society? But who cares about such things in any Western country these days? “Leaked Document Shows Finland Preparing to Fly Back Islamic State Extremists,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, December 14, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): Leaked documents from the Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affairs show that the government has planned to fly Islamic State extremists and their children back to Finland....

Not that we needed any further confirmation of Bernie Sanders's deep-seated contempt for the United States and its heritage, but a monumentally significant tweet that he sent out on Tuesday made it crystal clear that his political agenda has nothing whatsoever to do with defending the Constitution of the United States. Rather, it is entirely about gaining limitless power and dominance over the lives, the actions, and even the private thoughts of every living American. In a manner reminiscent of Barack Obama's pledge to “fundamentally transform the United States of America” during his presidency, Sanders tweeted: “Our campaign is not...

Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) has joined the long list of Democrats who’ve entered the 2020 presidential race. “I’m running for President to build a strong and safe country, create the jobs of the future, and elect leaders we can be proud of,” the former Marine said on Twitter Monday morning. "I'm running because we have to beat Donald Trump, and I want us to beat Donald Trump because I love this country. We've never been a country that gets everything right. But we're a country that, at our best, thinks that we might," he said in his video announcement. “Decades...

It’s been almost half a year since Germans went to the polls and completely disrupted the old guard of politics in that country. The Christian Democrats party (CDU) of Chancellor Angela Merkel suffered losses across the board and also saw their former partners in the Social Democratic Party (SPD) split away from them. At the same time, Alternative for Germany (AfD) made major gains, largely based on growing opposition to Merkel’s open borders policy regarding primarily Muslim migrants entering the country. Since that time, Merkel has been unable to form a majority coalition and the nation has been effectively left...

November 17, 2017 was literally a Black Friday. Reinhard Fellner, a card-carrying Social Democrat as well as chief of “Initiative Social Austria,” was sentenced in provincial court to three months (three years on probation) for denigration of Islam (§ 283 StGb). Any ever-so-small criticism of Islam in the next three years will lead to the completion of the sentence. This is so much more shocking, since he made a very mild criticism, which is far below the level of criticism which would be possible and necessary in a free and open society, to call attention to the dangers endemic to...

Janna Sundeyeva still remembers life in the Soviet Union, where stores in remote regions would lack meat for months at a time and toilet paper had to be snatched up quickly on the rare occasions it appeared. But the minor indignities paled in comparison to what happened to her grandfather: He had the chance to come to America in 1929, but he opted to stay, sensing an economic thaw. Seven years later, Sundeyeva says, he was arrested and never heard from again. Sundeyeva immigrated to San Francisco from Moldova in 1994, and now she and her husband run a Russian-language...

Vanity: Since I own a small theatre, it was necessary to read "Man and Superman" by George Bernard Shaw for a guest company. I came to the conclusion that the Ana character represents a feminine Don Juan. For this, I was soundly rebuked by my lettered friend. Of course I am not a philosopher, academic or intellectual, which gives me a clear advantage in reasoning. Ana was clever, mysterious, manipulative and a master at keeping men interested, in love and off balance. Even her mother was bewitched. She got her way without insulting a man. In fact, men willingly succummed...

Schleswig-Holstein premier quits after Kiel vote debacle 18 March 2005 KIEL/BERLIN - The only woman ever to head a German state, Heide Simonis, announced Friday she is stepping aside as a consequence of her failure to be confirmed in office after four deadlock votes in the Schleswig-Holstein parliament. Simonis, a Social Democrat (SPD), informed her party faction on Friday that she was withdrawing her name as a candidate for the premiership. The move appeared to increase the likelihood of a grand coalition between the SPD and the opposition Christian Democratic Union (CDU) in the state, a prospect which party leaders...

NEW YORK - Sometimes when young struggling nations emerge as democracies, the United States feels inclined to throw them a little aid. Iraq is one example. California might be the next if Governor-elect Arnold Schwarzenegger has his way. Schwarzenegger, who was elected on Tuesday as the current governor, Gray Davis, was recalled, hasn't offered specific ideas on how he will close the state's budget deficit, generally projected at $8 billion. But he did present a general idea that the money should come from Washington, D.C.--giving the poor, benighted people of San Diego, Santa Monica and Sausalito the same benefits the...
