On the floor of the U.S. Senate, Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., delivered an impassioned speech Tuesday that was critical of Amazon’s censorship of a book that expresses a widely held, commonsense view of gender. A lightly edited transcript follows.

Most Americans know that there are two sexes, male and female, and that sex is rooted in science.

Most Americans also know that we ought to treat all people, including those who feel conflicted about their gender, with respect and dignity, without sacrificing the truth in the process.

These beliefs, though, are now under attack from some of the most powerful corporations in the history of the world.

Just a few weeks ago, while House Democrats were passing their far-left Equality Act and the left-wing media [were] busy canceling Dr. Seuss, Amazon quietly erased a book from its online store.

Without notice, without warning, without explanation, that book is “When Harry Became Sally: Responding To the Transgendered Moment” by Ryan Anderson.

Now, Amazon claims it banned this book for violating its brand new policy on hate speech. Of course, that excuse is arbitrary and patently false. Right now, you can go to Amazon on your phone or on your computer and buy copies of actually hateful books.

You can get [Adolf] Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” shipped to your door with free Amazon Prime delivery. You can get the Unabomber manifesto written by a serial killer who murdered three people and maimed 23 others. You can even get “How to Blow Up a Pipeline.” I assume the title speaks for itself.

All those books are available for purchase on Amazon right now, one click away, but Amazon wants you to believe that a conservative book is somehow beyond the pale, unacceptably hateful, literally worse than Hitler, as they like to say.

My office asked Amazon to send us the exact passages from “When Harry Became Sally” that it deemed so hateful that it couldn’t even sell the book on [its] website. Shocking surprise, I know, they never got back to us. That’s because the book doesn’t say anything hateful.

To the contrary, the book makes very clear that we should treat people who feel conflicted about their gender with the same respect and compassion that are due to all people. To quote the author, “We should have abundant compassion and charity and patience with people who feel this form of alienation. But we also need to insist on telling the truth.”

That’s not hate. It’s far from it.

The author’s real offense—his only offense—was telling the truth. He said calmly and compassionately that boys are boys and girls are girls. And the richest man in the world banned his book from his company’s platform.

But, of course, you don’t have to agree with the commonsense, historic understanding of gender in order to acknowledge how dangerous it is for one of the biggest corporations in the history of the world to start banning books.

Because while Amazon’s censorship may start with conservative views, it could easily mutate to censor other views that offend [owner] Jeff Bezos and his bottom line.

Perhaps, Amazon will come after union organizers next, since they’re trying to bust up a union election in Alabama. Or maybe environmental activists, or maybe trust-busters, since so many people are talking about potential antitrust violations in the world of big tech.

And even if … Amazon goes only this far and no farther, the damage to free speech has already been done.

Books like “When Harry Became Sally” won’t get published anymore. Writers who hold unfashionable opinions that just a few days ago were considered basic mainstream views of a large majority of Americans may decide to self-censor and stay silent.

The virtual book-burning may spread to other companies. Maybe Amazon will put a book-burning app on its Kindle, so readers can drag books from its catalog into the virtual bonfire.

Political correctness will only grow more oppressive if its enforcers like Amazon don’t face some consequences for their actions. Amazon, for instance, makes billions of dollars a year, each year, hosting websites and storing data for their government.

Almost all of Amazon’s profit is made in these enterprise services, not in its consumer-facing retail business. And those are our tax dollars flowing to a company that uses its power to censor the beliefs of a large majority of Americans. Perhaps it’s time for lawmakers to reconsider whether these contracts are in the best interests of our country.

Also note that Amazon is the country’s largest bookseller, selling three out of every four e-books in America. Maybe it’s time for lawmakers to evaluate whether Amazon’s practices are consistent with our antitrust laws, or whether antitrust laws need to be updated to address this type of behavior from a monopolistic firm.

We better hurry though, because maybe they will ban all books on antitrust and monopoly behavior before we have a chance to study the question.

I’ll close by quoting from the book that Amazon banned, which predicted the very events we’re witnessing here today:

If trans activists succeed in their political agenda, our nation’s children will be indoctrinated in a harmful ideology and some will live by its own lies about their own bodies at great harm to themselves, physically, psychologically, and socially.

Lives will be ruined, but pointing out the damage will be forbidden. Dissent from the transgender worldview will be punished in schools, workplaces, and medical clinics.

Trying to live in accordance with the truth will be made harder.

This is not a fight over hate or bigotry, respect, or compassion. It’s a battle over truth itself. The truth of who we are as human beings and the fundamental freedom to speak that truth or any other truth, without fear.

Throughout our history, Americans have never surrendered to an oppressive tyranny of opinion, whether a majority or in this case, a small but highly influential minority. And we won’t be cowed into silence today.

We will fight for what’s true. We will fight for the freedom to say it. And no matter what the cultural forces arrayed against us do, we will never back down.

SUPERMARKET CHAIN GIANT FOOD has begun a policy of encouraging its customers to boycott businesses that are owned by white heterosexuals

The grocery store chain, Giant Food, has begun a policy of encouraging its customers to boycott businesses that are owned by white heterosexuals. They are labeling products in their stores by the races of the business owners, with the intentional omission of all white-owned businesses. Expect for this despicable trend to spread as corporate America increasingly embraces anti-white, anti-Christian, and un-American policies. It's more evidence that whenever we find the truest racism nowadays, we find the so-called "progressives" nearby.

Video: ‘Ethics’ Prof. Says Americans Will Take Vaccine In Exchange For Return Of Freedom

"If you promise people more mobility, more ability to get a job, more ability to get travel, that’s a very powerful incentive"

BY STEVE WATSON

SEE: https://www.infowars.com/posts/video-ethics-prof-says-americans-will-take-vaccine-in-exchange-for-return-of-freedom/;

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:

CNN provided a platform for NYU medical ‘ethics’ professor Arthur Caplan Sunday, who argued that Americans skeptical of taking the COVID vaccine will soon come around and accept it if their freedoms otherwise remain restricted.

Caplan argued that allowing people to have their freedoms returned after lockdown is the most “powerful incentive” to push the vaccine.

“If you promise people more mobility, more ability to get a job, more ability to get travel, that’s a very powerful incentive to actually achieve fuller vaccination,” Caplan told Fareed Zakaria.

The segment even began with the infamous ‘show me your papers’ scene from the movie Casablanca:

Caplan argued that Americans will “gain freedom” if a COVID certification system is enacted.

Caplan continued “Vaccine passports do require access; it’s hard to impose anything unless you are pretty sure that somebody can get a vaccine. So I think it’ll be a little while before we see this, let’s say within the U.S.”

“But there are going to be communities and areas of the country where it starts to make sense due to high availability of the vaccine to say, ‘you wanna come back to work in person? Gotta show me a vaccine certificate. You wanna go in a bar, a restaurant? Gotta show me a vaccine certificate,’” he added.

When asked about the dangers of a two-tier society, and who can get access to the vaccine, Caplan stated “I think there will be some inequality in the U.S., but hopefully it’ll wash out quickly as the supplies increase very rapidly, I think they’re going to.”

Caplan predicted that “the world won’t wait for vaccine passports” until all countries are ready, and that they will be put into place regardless of whether poorer or less equipped countries can be a part of the system.

As we reported last week, New York City has unveiled a vaccine passport system in conjunction with IBM, trialling it at two sports events so far.

Covid passport systems, which we have been covering for months now, are being rapidly adopted worldwide both domestically and for international travel, despite the fact that the immunity status of vaccinations is not yet extensively known, and despite warnings that such schemes could lead to mass discrimination against those who choose not to take the shot.

Jack Phillips Is Still Fighting for His Free Speech in Court – PJ Media

The Relentless 9-Year Assault on Jack Phillips Unmasks the True Threat of the 'Equality Act'

BY TYLER O'NEIL

Nine years ago, a gay couple went into Masterpiece Cakeshop and asked baker Jack Phillips to craft a cake to celebrate their same-sex wedding. Phillips refused, based on his Christian conviction that marriage is between one man and one woman, but he offered to sell the men anything else in the shop. They reported him to the Colorado Civil Rights Commission, sparking a six-year legal battle up to the Supreme Court. Shortly after the Supreme Court found in favor of Phillips, a transgender lawyer targeted the Christian baker, beginning the battle all over again.

On Thursday, the Denver County district court granted Phillips a partial victory, striking down one of the legal claims the transgender lawyer, Autumn Scardina, brought against him. Yet the court refused to drop Scardina’s other claim in the lawsuit, leading to protracted litigation, once again.

“The decision by the court to dismiss one of the claims against Jack Phillips is the first step towards final justice,” Kristen Waggoner, general counsel at Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), the firm representing Phillips, said in a statement on Thursday.

“Jack has been threatened with financial ruin simply because he makes decisions about which messages to create and celebrate—decisions that every other artist in Colorado is free to make. Tolerance for different opinions is essential. We look forward to defending Jack—and ultimately prevailing—on the remaining claim,” Waggoner added.

3 Disgusting Ways the Media Twisted the Truth in the Colorado Baker Transgender Cake Story

According to ADF, Scardina first approached Masterpiece Cakeshop on June 26, 2017, the very day the Supreme Court agreed to hear Phillips’ case. Scardina, a biological male who identifies as a female, requested cake art celebrating his gender transition. The shop declined the request, since creating such a cake would violate Phillips’ religious beliefs about gender.

A few days later, another caller from a number associated with the name “Scardina” asked for a “birthday” cake for Satan, complete with a red and black theme and an image of Satan smoking marijuana. Phillips denied this cake as well.

On June 4, 2018, the day the Supreme Court issued its decision, someone emailed Phillips claiming to be a “member of the Church of Satan.” The email requested a “three-tiered white cake. Cheesecake frosting. And the topper should be a large figure of Satan, licking a 9” black Dildo [sic]. I would like the dildo to be an actual working model, that can be turned on before we unveil the cake.”

Scardina’s law practice states, “We take great pride in taking on employers who discriminate against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and serving them their just desserts.”

Scardina first went to the Colorado Civil Rights Commission, which found probable cause that Phillips had discriminated against the lawyer on the basis of sexual identity. Ultimately, the commission dropped the case, but Scardina himself filed a lawsuit against Phillips.

Scardina alleged that Masterpiece Cakeshop violated the Colorado Consumer Protection Act (CCPA) by engaging in deceptive advertising and that the bakery violated the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act (CADA) by discriminating against him on the basis of his gender identity.

Scardina claimed that Phillips advertised his willingness to serve LGBT people in his shop, but he intended not to sell birthday cakes to them, in a bait-and-switch.

Yet Denver District Court Judge A. Bruce Jones ruled that Scardina had failed to show that Phillips even advertised this message. The transgender lawyer pointed to numerous press reports about Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission (2018), along with photographs of birthday cakes on the Masterpiece Cakeshop website.

Jones noted, however, that “Phillips was speaking on a matter of public concern: his legal case. … These materials are not commercial speech, and thus cannot be classified as advertisements under the CCPA.”

Scardina claimed that “Phillips and his bakery attempted to exploit the news coverage by stating they would sell birthday cakes to LGBT customers.” Jones rightly dismissed this preposterous argument. “If Defendants were engaged in such a stealth advertising campaign, they successfully disguised it within their speech on a matter of public concern,” he wrote.

Christian Baker Again Under Fire Again—This Time for Refusing to Bake a Transgender Cake

As for the photographs, they qualify as advertisements but “are not deceptive standing alone.”

Jones ruled that “the Court sees no meaningful distinction between punishing Defendants for their noncommercial speech and punishing them for advertisements as contextualized by Plaintiff via reference to separate noncommercial speech. The First Amendment would not tolerate either circumstance.”

While the judge dismissed Scardina’s CCPA claim, he did not dismiss the CADA claim.

Phillips argued that Masterpiece Cakeshop would not make a cake celebrating a gender transition for anyone, yet Jones noted that the Colorado Court of Appeals dismissed a similar argument in Craig v. Masterpiece Cakeshop (2018).

“Making a pink cake with blue frosting, the design [Scardina] requested, would at most be symbolic speech. As such, the relevant inquiry is whether making Plaintiff’s cake would have been inherently expressive conduct,” Jones argued. “Whether making Plaintiff’s requested cake is inherently expressive, and thus protected speech, depends on whether Defendants would thereby convey their own particularized message, and whether the likelihood is great that a reasonable observer would both understand the message and attribute that message to Defendants.”

The judge ruled that making such a cake would not necessarily “convey a celebratory message about gender transitions likely to be understood by reasonable observers. Further, to the extent the public infers such a message, that message is far more likely to be attributed to Plaintiff, who requested the cake’s simple design.”

So Jack Phillips and his counsel at ADF face yet another court battle, in which they will work to prove that Masterpiece Cakeshop’s cakes are expressive speech and that being forced to bake a cake to celebrate transgender identity would violate Phillips’ free speech and religious freedom rights.

Even though the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Phillips, it did not rule on the central question at issue: whether or not the creation of cakes or other art celebrating same-sex weddings (or other events to which Christians like Phillips would object, such as a gender transition party) constitutes protected speech under the First Amendment.

In the wake of the Supreme Court’s horrific decision in Bostock v. Clayton County (2020) — which redefined “discrimination on the basis of sex” to include discrimination on the basis of “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” — this question is more important than ever.

Under Bostock and President Joe Biden’s related executive order, Christians and conscientious objectors across the country could face protracted legal battles like the one Jack Phillips currently faces. If Democrats manage to pass H.R. 5, the “Equality Act,” that would eviscerate religious freedom, carving out a specific exemption from religious freedom protections just for claims of discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.

Laws against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity have enabled LGBT activists to target dissenters like Phillips for prosecution in the service of ideological enforcement.

The same commission that hounded Phillips defended another baker’s right to refuse to create cakes that stated a message with which she disagreed. Worse, the commission compared Phillips’ actions to Nazi apologists, even though Phillips’ own father fought the Nazis and liberated a concentration camp in World War II.

Scardina’s lawsuit only underscores the fact that activists will seek to use Bostock and Biden’s order to hound Christian artists out of existence.

Biden Accuses TX and MS Governors of ‘Neanderthal Thinking’

Biden Accuses Texas and Mississippi Governors of 'Neanderthal Thinking' For Lifting Mask Mandates

BY RICK MORAN

SEE: https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/rick-moran/2021/03/04/biden-accuses-texas-and-mississippi-governors-of-neanderthal-thinking-for-lifting-mask-mandates-n1430040;

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:

Joe Biden, the “unity president,” referred to the decision by Texas and Mississippi governors to lift mandates on wearing a mask in public as “Neanderthal thinking.”

“I think it’s a big mistake. Look, I hope everybody realizes by now that masks make a big difference. We are on the cusp of being able to fundamentally change the nature of this disease because the way in which we are able to get vaccines,” Biden told reporters.

“The last thing we need is the Neanderthal thinking that, in the meantime, everything is fine, take off our mask, forget it,” he added.

Well, of course, Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves never said to take your mask off and forget it. They didn’t even suggest it or hint at it, and it’s extremely doubtful they even thought it.

What both governors did was lift the mandate that forces people to wear a mask. They are giving their citizens the option — the “freedom” if you prefer — to wear a mask to protect themselves. Biden and the Democrats might see that as revolutionary but this is how normal Americans think and act.

Biden said that the U.S. risks thousands of more deaths to Covid-19 if Americans drop basic guidelines to stop the spread, including masks and social distancing.

“It is critical, critical, critical that they follow the science,” Biden said of the governors.

But Gov. Reeves was offended by Biden’s description that Mississippians need “handlers.”

 

WAPT:

Reeves said he lifted the restrictions in response to a drop in COVID-19 cases and deaths. Mississippi has been under a variety of COVID-19 restrictions since the first case was reported in the state a year ago. Masks are still required where social distancing isn’t possible at K-12 schools in Mississippi. Restrictions are also in place for indoor arenas.

Big businesses in Mississippi and Texas announced that masks will still be required. Target, Kroger, CVS, Walgreens, Best Buy, JCPenney and Toyota are among the companies that will mandate masks for customers and employees.

How dare these governors give their citizens the freedom to choose? Outrageous!

Some people are choosing to require masks, others are not. Begging your pardon, Mr. President, but isn’t that pretty much what America is based on?

Certainly, the wisdom of lifting the mask mandate can be questioned. But does the president of the United States have to treat governors of two sovereign states like stupid schoolboys?

Abbott had a few choice words for Biden.

CNBC:

Abbott told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” that the comment was “not the type of word that a president should be using” and blamed the spread of the coronavirus on immigrants crossing the southern border. The Republican governor said the Biden administration has “refused to test” them for the virus.

“The Biden administration has been releasing immigrants in South Texas that have been exposing Texans to Covid. Some of those people have been put on buses, taking that Covid to other states in the United States,” Abbott told CNBC. “That is Neanderthal-type approach to dealing with the Covid situation.”

According to The Border Report, “dozens” of asylum seekers bussed to Brownsville, TX and released have tested positive for the coronavirus.

In the Gulf Coast city of Brownsville, 108 migrants released during the past month have shown to be carrying the coronavirus, U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, said Wednesday. And he says that is putting the South Texas border community, as well as the volunteers who help them, and the border agents, at risk.

“They tested some of the people who got put at the bus station in Brownsville and according to the rapid tests, about 108 tested positive. So basically that creates a situation that they are letting people who are positive (for coronavirus) get on buses and with the permission of Homeland Security they can go anywhere in the United States,” Cuellar said during an online news conference.

Why isn’t Biden “following the science” and getting those asylum seekers tested? Sometimes the magic works. Sometimes it doesn’t.

WARNING: Joe Biden’s Terror-Tied Appointee Sameera Fazili is a Threat to U.S. and India

WARNING: Joe Biden’s Terror-Tied Appointee Sameera Fazili is a Threat to U.S. and India (Video)

Newly installed Democratic President Joe Biden took a strong stance against India, an important U.S. ally, and America when he appointed radical Sameera Fazili to his administration. The controversial new Deputy Director of the National Economic Council has become an essential voice to the anti-Indian Islamic movement in the U.S. 

The Biden-appointee, Kashmiri-origin Indian-American Sameera Fazili, recently became the first terror-tied hijabi-wearing woman to conduct a White House Press Briefing in U.S. history.

Fazili is one of two Kashmiri-origin Indian-American members appointed to key positions in Biden’s team alongside Aisha Shah, the partnership manager at the White House Office of Digital Strategy.

Kashmir is the seat of ancient Hindu spirituality and has always been intimately connected to India. Over the past century, the area turned from predominantly Hindu and Buddhist to majority Islamic. Hindus, Buddhists, and Sikh’s were killed, driven out, and forced to convert to Islam. Today, Muslims constitute 67% of the population, the Hindus approximately 30%, the Buddhists 1%, and the Sikhs 2% of the population.

Jihadis trained and armed by Pakistan, continue to purge Kashmir of its native Hindu and Sikh population, to this day.

Pakistan is waging a terrorist campaign to carve out a separate Islamic country in that part of India using Jihadis and their radical left-wing supporters which have aspirations of turning Kashmir into another “Islamic State.”

Since the partition of India in 1947, which established the two independent states of India and Pakistan, there has been a myriad of conflicts within the region. Islamic Pakistan has invaded and attempted to claim the territory, along with various separatist and terrorist groups demanding independence from India. Pakistan has infiltrated soldiers into Indian Kashmir, assisted anti-Indian and anti-Hindu Muslim terrorists in Jammu-Kashmir, and sponsored many murderous operations inside India.

India’s Article 370 and 35A

On August 5, 2019, India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi chose to repeal discriminatory Article 370 and 35A, a move supported by then President Donald Trump. The repeal ended the “temporary provision” that granted the state of Jammu and Kashmir a special autonomous status within the Indian union. Jammu and Kashmir are now governed by the same laws applicable to other Indian citizens.

India is a secular country, who believes that regardless of one’s religious beliefs or gender, they should be governed by the same set of laws and enjoy the same freedoms. However, Islamic majority Jammu and Kashmir laws only supported Muslims' freedoms and rights.

Article 370 supported the Muslim majority population to discriminate against, and drive out non-Muslim minorities. Hindus and other minorities were not given such things as; property rights. the right to pursue government jobs, or professions of their choosing. The only way for a minority to be given rights was if they married a Muslim.

Article 370 helped Pakistan further its goal of creating an Islamic nation and securing an all Muslim, or at least Muslim majority population. If any woman of Jammu and Kashmir married a person of another state, the citizenship of that woman would end. On the other hand, if she marries a man from Pakistan, her husband will get Jammu and Kashmir citizenship.

Sharia law was applicable to women in Kashmir and child marriages were legal under article 370. Women in Jammu and Kashmir are now given equal status and can do such things as buy real estate and transfer property to children, even if they get married to a non-resident.

Minorities were reduced to non-entities due to the discrimination legitimized by Article 370. LGBTQ could be thrown into jails.

Only people who lived in Jammu and Kashmir were allowed to buy land, while they could buy land anywhere in India. Citizens of Indian will now get a chance to settle and extend their businesses in the state of Jammu & Kashmir.

Watch journalist Katie Hopkins discuss the ending of Article 370,

Watch India’s Rajya Sabha TV in depth report on Article 370,

Terror activities in Kashmir were also dealt a deafening blow with the end of Article 370. Terror operations in Kashmir were strangled when the Indian government barred the communications network in Jammu & Kashmir. Many of the terrorists went underground and some moved to other states in India. Those with direct and indirect links with terror operatives were detained with no mobility to create chaos. 

India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s abrogation of Article 370 has made the Indian states safer. The number of terrorist incidents in Jammu and Kashmir in the year 2020 decreased by 63.93 percent as compared to the corresponding period in 2019.

Biden appointee Fazili, like Turkey, China, and Pakistan and the newly installed U.S. Democrat administration, has been a vocal critic of India’s Kashmir policy which aims to foster peace and development in the terror infested region. Fazili is an outspoken proponent of Kashmiri Separatism and a vocal supporter of radical groups fighting for it to have autonomous status.

Stand With Kashmir (SWK)

Days after India abrogated Article 370, Fazili helped organize a terror-tied anti-India protest within the USA. The event was sponsored by Muslim-Brotherhood front groups, Al-Qaeda sympathizers, Pakistani-tied terrorist groups, jihadis and left-wing communist groups operating in America.

Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) proudly flaunted Fazili’s participation in the radical-led protests. In a press release, CAIR presented Fazili as a member of Stand With Kashmir (SWK), a radical Islamic supremacist organization that is fighting for Kashmiri Separatism. In a statement to CAIR, Fazili not only chosen to demonize India, its secular governance, its political leadership but also its Hindu majority.

We urge people of conscience to come out and show support and solidarity for the people of Kashmir as authoritarianism and Islamophobia rise around the world, from India to the United States to Europe. Come show your support for human rights, international law, and democracy.” 

Islamic radical and communist organizations in the United State have been working with the SWK to target India since the shadowy group first formed in 2019. From Muslim-Brotherhood linked groups Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), Muslim American Society (MAS), CAIR to Communist-tied groups such as, Black Lives Matter, Women’s March, Jewish Voice for Peace and “Climate Change” organizations, the SWK partners with fellow extremists.

It is not surprising the United States and anti-semitic Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement (BDS) are also working with the SWK to target democratic India. Much like how the radical left-wing BDS movement targets the only Jewish State and the only democracy in the region.

IIn early 2019, New York-based journalist Azad Essa published an op-ed declaring that “when it comes to Palestine and Kashmir, India and Israel are oppressors-in-arms.” According to Essa, “Free Gaza” and “India Go Home” are the same message to those who champion the cause of separating Kashmir. Essa insists that both the issues surrounding Kashmir and Israel represent the same sort of “settler-colonialism” theme and are, in essence, the same issue.

The terror-tied SWK allegedly advocates for the self-determination of the Kashmiri people. It produces compelling and emotional propaganda for Kashmiri autonomy and details what it claims are India’s human rights violations and military occupation of the region. However, the organization’s intentions appear to be even more sinister than they claim.

The groups have mastered exploiting identity politics, political correctness and virtue signaling, to win influence over political leaders and policy throughout the West. SWK runs conferences, workshops, social media hashtag campaigns and political drives to demonize India and garnish international support.

According to journalist Karys Rhea, SWK group asserts that India’s PM Modi is an evil fascist who hates Muslims and has deployed his Hindu supremacist military forces to violently oppress Muslim-Kashmiris. It also claims India has engaged in brutal human rights violations against Muslim-Kashmiris. Meanwhile, the radical SWK praises Pakistani terrorist Prime Minister Imran Khan and claims he is “a humanitarian.”

The SWK is backed by the Pakistani government and one of their country’s most dangerous and violent Jihadist movements, Jamaat-e-Islami (JI). The JI and its followers believe in a theocratic Islamic caliphate that subjugates women, gays, Jews and other apostates under the rule of Shariah. in 2019, India banned JI from Kashmir for five years for supporting terrorism, after a suicide bombing that killed 42 people.

Jamaat-e-Islami has exported its disturbing ideology of political Islam from its base in South Asia to the US and beyond, through organizations, including ICNA. Throughout the US, ICNA placed billboards across the in support of the SWK,

The Pakistani government even went so far as to place “Stand With Kashmir” billboards ins New York’s Times Square:

The Middle East Forum uncovered that SWK also works to lionize and defend violent Jihadis and terrorist groups committed to the murder of Indian troops and civilians.

India is not “occupying” Kashmir as the SWK group claims. Kashmir is already part of India. India is waging a war against Islamic terrorism, which has claimed the lives of thousands of Indian civilians and security personnel.

The Biden Administration is allowing the SWK to operate freely in The United States, despite their clear connections to terror-tied groups and individuals. The organization is even exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(C)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, all donations are eligible for tax-deduction. SWK even uses a US crowdfunding platform, Launch Good to raise funds for its anti-India activities.

With the appointment of Fazili, radical foreign-tied organizations like Stand With Kashmir will increase their influence in the Democratic Party and over the U.S. government. We urge you to call your state’s political leaders and report your concerns about Fazili, the SWK and their tax-exempt status. Our tax dollars should not be used to harm our country or allies.

RAIR Foundation USA will continue to monitor Fazili’s subversive connections and radical actions.

Do Lady Gaga-Themed Oreos Contain Pedophile Symbolism?

Design etched in cookie appears in FBI pedophile symbolism memo.

OREO Share Kindness

BY ADAN SALAZAR

SEE: https://www.infowars.com/posts/do-lady-gaga-themed-oreos-contain-pedophile-symbolism/;

Internet researchers are questioning whether limited edition Oreos dedicated to pop star Lady Gaga contain hidden pedophile symbolism.

After the special sandwich cookies based on Gaga’s Chromatica album hit stores late last year, people began noticing one wafer featured a small heart inside a larger heart design, a symbol designated by the FBI as a secret code used by pedophiles.

“The GirlLover logo (Glogo)… is a small heart surrounded by a larger heart, which symbolizes a relationship between an adult male or female and minor girl,” reads an FBI intelligence bulletin publicized by Wikileaks, showing a pink version of the symbol.

“To specifically indicate the pedophile’s gender preference, members of pedophilic organizations encourage the use of descriptions such as ‘boylove,’ ‘girllove,’ and ‘childlove,’” the law enforcement sensitive memo reads. “These symbols have been etched into rings and formed into pendants, and have also been found printed on coins.”

Read the FBI bulletin:

The Gaga-themed cookies made by Nabisco are wrapped in hot pink packaging and are pink in color, containing a green cream filling reminiscent of toxic sludge.

The color pink is a beacon for both little girls and pedophiles alike, as noted in a WFLA report which uncovered toys geared towards little girls containing the hidden pedophile markings.

A mom took her two-year-old daughter to a Monster Truck show and came back with a souvenir that puts children in danger. The symbols on the toy are a secret code used by pedophiles.

[…]

But when she got answers she nearly threw up. Her toddler’s souvenir held a sick secret. The Monster Jam toy contains a symbol, a disgusting calling card for creeps. This is a code for pedophiles.


“This is pink, this is geared towards little girls especially at a predominantly male event.”

[…]

When a pedophile sees children with the heart symbol, it’s code meaning this child is ready to be traded for sex.

The symbol emblazoned on the Oreos was enough to cause outrage on social and alternative media.

Entertainment site JordanThrilla.com questioned whether the symbol could be a coincidence or evidence of sinister intentions.

“If these really are the same symbols perhaps Lady Gaga isn’t even aware of it,” the site’s editor writes. “However, given the weird stories that have come out about children being mistreated in Hollywood over the years, she also could possibly be fully aware and chose to promote the symbols purposely.”

SCANDAL: SNL PRODUCED PRO-PEDOPHILIA PAPA JOHNs PIZZA AD

Iran demands end to US and EU sanctions, threatens to block UN snap inspections of nuclear sites

Although significant, Iran’s new threat amounts to nothing, since by its own admission, it has already long ago violated the nuclear deal. That deal was based on lies to begin with. Despite the continuing evidence that indicates how unreliable Iran has been about keeping its word, the West continues to place its hope in negotiations with Iran, which only serves to further stoke the regime’s aggression. It also buys time for the regime to build a nuclear bomb.

Ayatollah Khamenei has already declared in no uncertain terms: Enemies cannot do a damn thing against the Islamic Republic and Islam’s power is growing.” Far too many Western leaders, however, choose not to believe him, at their own peril.

“Iran says it will block snap nuclear inspections if 2015 deal terms are not met,” by John Bowden, The Hill, February 15, 2021:

Iran’s government on Monday warned that it would end the U.N. nuclear watchdog’s ability to conduct snap inspections of nuclear sites in the country unless the U.S. and European countries involved in the 2015 nuclear accord fulfill their end of the agreement and lift sanctions.

A spokesman for Iran’s foreign ministry made the announcement, according to Reuters, setting a Feb. 21 deadline for the U.S. and other countries to relax sanctions reimposed after the U.S. left the nuclear accord in 2017 under the Trump administration.

“If others do not fulfill their obligations by Feb. 21, the government is obliged to suspend the voluntary implementation of the Additional Protocol,” spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said, according to the news service.

“It does not mean ending all inspections by the U.N. nuclear watchdog. … All these steps are reversible if the other party changes its path and honours its obligations,” he continued.

A bipartisan group of more than 100 lawmakers has called on President Biden to “remain firm” in his dealings with Iran, urging the administration to hold the Tehran accountable for its increased nuclear enrichment in the years following the U.S. departure from the accord….

MassResistance was hit hard by the “cancel culture.” But we’re back AFTER BANK CLOSES ACCOUNT

MassResistance Update
Pro-family Activism

"Aggressive fighting for the right is the noblest sport the world affords."
- Theodore Roosevelt

February 17, 2021
MassResistance was hit hard by the "cancel culture." But we're back!
On Monday, Feb. 8, MassResistance suddenly discovered that our credit card processing had been shut down. The bank had abruptly decided that it didn’t want to deal with a pro-family conservative organization.

We all know about the vicious efforts by Big Tech, Corporate America, and the Left that have erupted to silence and destroy conservatives – usually called the “cancel culture.”The financial industry has been particularly aggressive.

According to national news, Bank of America collaborates with the government to secretly give the travel and purchase credit card records of conservatives to the FBI. JP Morgan has closed the bank accounts of known conservatives. Several major banks have recently refused to do business with Trump companies, or industries such as gun manufacturers and others that they disagree with politically. The corporate culture in the financial industry is very poisonous. They give hundreds of millions of dollars to Black Lives Matter/Antifa organizations as well as anti-family LGBT groups and Planned Parenthood.

For nine harrowing days we worked to deal with this. Any of you who tried to donate online was told his credit card was “declined.” For our monthly credit card donors, the donations were delayed.

Finally, yesterday MassResistance signed up with another bank that’s willing to work with us. We’re back up and running! But being down this long hurt badly. Those of you who tried to donate by credit card over the last week and were unable to, please come and try again! This is a crucial time to donate to MassResistance and keep us going strong! (Here's our donation form.)

The real heroes in this are the folks at Cornerstone Payment Systems. They are the credit card merchant service provider that stuck with us through all of this, connected us with the right bank, and made sure everything got set up again properly. Cornerstone is a Christian-run company that will never “cancel” pro-family conservatives. Pro-family and conservative groups may be tempted to use “easy” solutions like Pay-Pal, Stripe, and Square – but these are horrible anti-family companies that will eventually de-platform you. And other companies are also a big risk.

Over the past several years, MassResistance has taken steps to make as much of our operation as possible - including web and information technology - safe from these kinds of attacks and "cancellations."

Make no mistake about this. In totalitarian countries such as Nazi Germany, the USSR, and Communist China, the “cancel culture” was always the first step before death camps. The people who decide to fire you or destroy your business because of your beliefs actually want to destroy you personally. Normal people don’t do this to others. Their hatred really is that powerful. We need to learn from history. Unfortunately, most of the conservative movement isn’t paying attention.

The only solution is to aggressively confront it. With your help MassResistance is dedicated to doing just that!

UK Supermarket Calls Police On Disabled Man For Not Wearing Mask, Tries to Make Him Wear Yellow Sticker LIKE THE JEWS IN NAZI GERMANY

"It's not law, she's going to phone the police over a policy."

SHADES OF NAZI GERMANY

BY PAUL JOSEPH WATSON

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:

British supermarket Morrisons called the police on a disabled man who was medically exempt from wearing a face mask after attempting to make him wear a yellow sticker.

Yes, really.

The clip shows the man involved in a confrontation with a security guard and staff as they try to make him wear the sticker.

The man calls them out by asking how a sticker could stop the spread of coronavirus.

When he refuses to wear the sticker, he is asked to leave the store as staff claim they are just doing their job.

“Weren’t they just doing their job in the Nazi Germany? Can you remember how they said that during the Nuremberg trials?”

The staff then call the police, although are unsure if they should be calling the ‘999’ emergency number.

The security guard says the yellow stickers are to “explain to other people in the store that you’re medically exempt,” despite this not being part of the law.

“It’s not law, she’s going to phone the police over a policy, you can’t phone the police over a policy,” explains the man, who ends up paying for his shopping and leaving before any police arrive.

According to the law, people do not have to answer questions as to why they are medically exempt and are not required to signal to others with any kind of sticker or badge that they are medically exempt.

The dark undertones of forcing disabled people to wear yellow stars hardly needs to be explained.

This underscores how the obsession with forcing people to wear face masks, despite their efficacy being disputed by numerous studies, is being abused to target the vulnerable.

Big Brother Watch asked Morrisons to apologize for the behavior of their staff, but the company is yet to respond.

Biden’s handlers kill pipelines at home but promote them for the Taliban

It is indeed Obama’s third term, as we have returned to his practice of rewarding America’s enemies and alienating America’s friends.

This is interesting: “The government has apparently brokered a meeting between the Turkmenistan government and the Taliban for a trans-Afghanistan pipeline to bring Turkmen gas across Afghanistan and Pakistan to India. If this scheme sounds familiar, it should: It was the same deal that now-Special Envoy Zalmay Khalilzad sought to make with the Taliban in the years before the Sept. 11 terror attacks when he was a consultant for the Unocal Corporation.”

How much does Unocal pay Khalilzad? Does he have a personal financial stake in this pipeline project? Does Biden and/or his family?

“Biden kills pipelines at home but promotes them for the Taliban,” by Michael Rubin, Washington Examiner, February 8, 2021 (thanks to the Geller Report):

On his first day in office, President Biden canceled permits for the Keystone XL pipeline. Environmentalists and anti-fossil fuel activists should not have applauded his move.

After all, Canada will not stop extracting oil from the tar sands of northern Alberta. Instead, it will simply export oil over existing pipelines or to the Pacific Ocean, where the damage from a potential spill would be harder to address. Biden’s cancellation cost jobs and pushes Canada toward greater economic cooperation with China. It also shakes confidence in U.S. business. Who would invest in the country if any future administration can simply renege on deals with the stroke of a pen? Especially, that is, when the investments involved here reach into the billions of dollars?

Biden’s move was both political theater and an indulgence of his liberal base. But his hypocrisy was stunning even for a politician who has spent a half-century in Washington. Consider that while the Biden administration is killing a pipeline from which the public could benefit, Biden is promoting a pipeline to enrich both one of the world’s worst dictatorships and a group responsible for thousands of U.S. deaths.

The government has apparently brokered a meeting between the Turkmenistan government and the Taliban for a trans-Afghanistan pipeline to bring Turkmen gas across Afghanistan and Pakistan to India. If this scheme sounds familiar, it should: It was the same deal that now-Special Envoy Zalmay Khalilzad sought to make with the Taliban in the years before the Sept. 11 terror attacks when he was a consultant for the Unocal Corporation.

Khalilzad’s scheme was bad policy two decades ago, and it is even worse now.

Put aside environmental arguments and consider profit. Freedom House’s latest Freedom in the World report ranks Turkmenistan as among the world’s worst offenders, below even North Korea in terms of freedom and civil liberties. To promote the export of Turkmen gas is to entrench its regime even further. Part of the deal is then paying the Taliban protection money or transit fees for the pipeline transiting Afghan territory. Not only would this undermine the elected Afghanistan government even further, but it would also reward the Taliban for insurgency to the tune of tens of millions of dollars each month. Who needs Russian bounties on U.S. soldiers when the State Department has crafted a scheme to reward the Taliban beyond their wildest dreams?…

How the Trump Administration Permanently Transformed U.S. China Policy—Former state department mike Pompeo Adviser Miles Yu

“The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is probably the most ideologically intoxicated, most dogmatic political party of Leninist stripe in human history. Yet, we don't tend to think of the CCP that way.” Tonight, we sit down with Miles Yu, who served as Senior China Policy Adviser to Mike Pompeo when he was Secretary of State. While many today still harbor illusions about the Chinese regime, the CCP seeks to “replace the US-led international order with its own authoritarian model of governance,” Yu says. And “their internal designation of the United States as chief adversary has never changed.” Miles Yu grew up during China’s Cultural Revolution, a decade of revolutionary change and violence in which millions were killed. In 1985, he came to the U.S. as an exchange student. He’s been a professor at the U.S. Naval Academy for 26 years and after finishing his time at the State Department, he’s now a senior fellow with the Hudson Institute. I interviewed him in his personal capacity. This is American Thought Leaders, and I’m Jan Jekielek.

American Thought Leaders: Gordon Chang-Cooperation With Communist China Impossible~It Seeks to Overthrow America

Rumble — U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has stated the United States will work with allies to hold the Chinese regime accountable. But at the same time, the Biden administration seeks to cooperate with the Chinese leadership in areas like the pandemic and climate change. But does this really make sense? In this episode, we sit down with China analyst Gordon Chang, author of “The Coming Collapse of China,” to discuss President Joe Biden’s recent executive orders and the future of US-China relations.

Biden says he’ll return to nuke deal if Iran reverses ‘nuclear steps’~Khamenei demands immediate end of sanctions

BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:

Biden says he “will seek to revive the nuclear deal, but insists that Iran must first reverse its nuclear steps.” But he’s in a standoff with Iran’s supreme leader Khamenei, who said: “If they want Iran to return to its JCPOA commitments, the US must completely lift sanctions. And not just verbally on the paper. They must revoke the sanctions in action.”

Biden is deluding himself if he thinks that any nuke deal with Iran will be authentic. He is following in the disastrous steps of Barack Obama, who enabled Iran to increase its nuclear capabilities and deceive naïve infidel countries. And still Biden’s willingness to return to the deal isn’t enough for Khamenei, who knows exactly what Iran is planning.

Iran-based dissidents — many who have been imprisoned by the regime — are not so easily fooled. They are urging Biden to maintain sanctions, knowing all too well about the nature of the deceitful, jihadist regime which aims to build a nuclear bomb.

In late January, Israel announced that attack plans against Iran were being revised in light of Biden’s return to the nuclear deal. This was a prudent move in light of  Iran’s violation of the previous nuclear deal under the Obama administration, and its own admission to having violated the deal, as well as its boastful, repeated threats and provocations regarding its military capabilities.

“Biden will not lift sanctions to get Iran back to negotiating table,” Guardian, February 7, 2021:

President has said he will seek to revive the nuclear deal, but insists that Iran must first reverse its nuclear steps.

oe Biden has said the United States will not lift its economic sanctions on Iran in order to get Tehran back to the negotiating table to discuss how to revive the Iran nuclear deal.

Asked if the United States will lift sanctions first to get Iran back to the negotiating table, Biden replied: “no” in an interview with CBS News, which was recorded on Friday but released on Sunday ahead of the Super Bowl.

Donald Trump, the former president, unilaterally withdrew the US in 2018 from the atomic deal, which saw Iran agree to limit its enrichment of uranium in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions. Biden has said he will seek to revive the deal, but insisted that Iranmust first reverse its nuclear steps, creating a contest of wills between the nations.

Asked if Iran had to stop enriching uranium first, Biden nodded. It was not clear exactly what he meant, as Iran is permitted to enrich uranium under the 2015 nuclear deal within certain limits.

“Will the US lift sanctions first in order to get Iran back to the negotiating table?” CBS News anchor Norah O’Donnell asked.

“No,” Biden responded.

“They have to stop enriching uranium first?” O’Donnell asked. Biden nodded.

Earlier on Sunday Iran’s supreme leader urged the US to lift all sanctions if it wants the country to live up to commitments under its nuclear deal with world powers, according to state TV.

In his first comments on the matter since Biden took office, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was quoted as saying: “If (the US) wants Iran to return to its commitments, it must lift all sanctions in practice, then we will do verification then we will return to our commitments.”

“This is the definitive and irreversible policy of the Islamic Republic, and all of the country’s officials are unanimous on this, and no one will deviate from it,” Khamenei added Sunday, reiterating Iranian leaders’ previous remarks that the US must ease its sanctions before Iran comes back into compliance….

Biden’s ‘American Recovery Act’ Includes Hidden 150% Obamacare Expansion

Missing from the released pandemic relief summary, the expansion of Obamacare is proposed at the end a 90-page legislative proposal

Any mention of a temporary expansion that breathes life back into Obamacare was mysteriously missing from a summary of the House Democrat pandemic relief stimulus proposal released to the public by House Ways & Means Committee Chairman US Rep. Richard Neal (D-MA), Monday. But it’s there.

Tucked away at the end of the $1.9 trillion 90-page legislative proposal is verbiage that outlines the first expansion of Obamacare in more than a decade.

One of the two proposals held in the proposed legislation would fully subsidize Affordable Care Act (ACA) coverage for people who earn up to 150 percent of the federal poverty level.

The new Obamacare eligibility table now incorporates people making more than 400 percent of the federal poverty level. That table affords subsidies for first time application, capping their total premium costs at 8.5 percent of their income.

Another proposal included in the legislation would cover 85 percent of a person’s health insurance premiums for those laid-off during the pandemic utilizing COBRA, access to their employer-based health insurance.

“Our nation is struggling, the virus is still not contained, and the American people are counting on Congress to meet this moment with bold, immediate action,” Neal said in a statement. “From increasing direct assistance to those who need it most to expanding tax credits for low- and middle-income workers, we deliver substantial solutions in this package.”

Neal’s legislation proposals are written as budget reconciliation measures, which means House Democrats can pass them with a simple majority. They would need no support from Republicans in that chamber.

The nine proposals outlined in Neal’s legislative outline make up roughly half of the $1.9 trillion package offered by Democrats. The package includes the $1,400 direct payments to Americans.

President Biden signed an executive order last month ordering the reopening of Obamacare’s online health insurance marketplaces. People seeking health insurance under the law will be offered the chance in a few weeks.

FREEDOM SHOPPING: Inside A florida Store That Does NOT Require Masks in America

Humanity Is Still In The Game

EVERYONE MASKLESS

TAKE THE TOUR:

There is hope in Naples, Florida. A grocery store called Oakes Farms Seed to Table Market makes it abundantly clear that “Mask Exemption” guidelines will be recognized, and “Therefore, if we see you without a mask, we will assume you have a medical condition and we will welcome you inside to support our business.”

NBC News’ Sam Brock did a hit piece on this fine establishment, spotlighting the store’s Optional Masks policy. The press is trying to scorn Oakes Farms’ owner who disputes the official COVID death numbers. (READ: CDC Inflated COVID Death Numbers).

But the real truth is actually a heartwarming source of citizen pride for anti-maskers and people with breathing-related medical conditions, according to sources on the ground.

Citizen activist Chris Nelson conducted a virtual tour of Oakes Farm Seed to Table Market, which of course any patriot can choose to patronize in beautiful Naples, Florida.

Chris Nelson was one of the organizers behind the recent mega-viral anti-masker flash mob at a Target in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The spirited protest angered the globalist elites but re-popularized the song “We’re Not Gonna Take It” by once-popular Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider, who condemned the mob like some kind of establishment scold.

South Florida is engaged in heated mask melodrama in the aftermath of Tampa Bay Bucs’ quarterback Tom Brady’s epic victory for the region in the Super Bowl. Tampa Democrat mayor Jane Castor has been busted not wearing masks while socializing, even during her own mask mandate in Tampa. Meanwhile, Castor is vowing to hunt down anyone who watched the Super Bowl in Tampa in public without a mask, promising that law enforcement will identify the no-maskers. The elites are clearly rattled at the prospect of populist fervor, but many of the elites seem to be just like the people they rule over: They don’t want to wear masks either.

Bank of America Sells Out Gun & Ammo Purchasers as Potential Criminals

Bank of America, it turns out, is selling out their customers who bought guns or ammunition to federal authorities 

Bank of America has said it is required by federal law to comply to requests

BY JIM GRANT & LARRY KEANE

U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- Bank of America, it turns out, is selling out their customers who bought guns or ammunition to federal authorities as people who should be investigated for ties to the criminal acts witnessed on Capitol Hill on Jan. 6.

Tucker Carlson, of Fox News, uncovered evidence that Bank of America is turning over the private transaction records of its customers to federal investigators it believes need to be probed for “extremism” or even domestic terrorism. The chilling move by the second-largest corporate bank in America with more than 60 million customers and $2.16 trillion in assets was this:

    1. Customers confirmed as transacting, either through bank account debit card or credit card purchases in Washington, D.C. between 1/5 and 1/6.
    2. Purchases made for Hotel/Airbnb RSVPs in DC, VA, and MD after 1/6.
    3. Any purchase of weapons or at a weapons-related merchant between 1/7 and their upcoming suspected stay in D.C. area around Inauguration Day.
    4. Airline related purchases since 1/6.

Did you notice No. 3? Bank of America is vocally antigun, but this is crossing into secret lists, big brother, sci-fi truth-is-stranger-than-fiction territory. The bank’s criteria included any purchase at a gun store, but not just guns. If someone bought a t-shirt, baseball hat, or even a trigger lock, that flagged their account for “review.”

Who Told Who?

Carlson reported that Bank of America identified 211 people and turned that information over to investigators without notifying those customers their private financial transaction data was being shared without their consent. Federal authorities interviewed at least one person, and that individual was cleared of any wrongdoing.

Bank of America dodged Carlson when confronted with the allegations it was singling out customers who made a purchase at a gun store. They said, “We don’t comment on our communications with law enforcement. All banks have responsibilities under federal law to cooperate with law enforcement inquiries in full compliance with the law.”

However, “compliance with the law” here is questionable at best. Bank of America didn’t say that the FBI subpoenaed the information. They only said they “cooperated.” Carlson pointed out that banks are allowed under 12 U.S.C. 3403 to provide information that “may be relevant to a possible violation of any statute or regulation.”

In Bank of America’s estimation, visiting a gun store and buying any product, much less a firearm that is protected by the Second Amendment, is suspicious enough to put their customers on a secret watch list without their knowledge.

The New York Post interviewed New York City’s former top cop who blasted the decision to hand over private financial data.

“That’s just not a good reason to hand over private information. If that’s the way they do business now, then the people of this country really have something to worry about,” said Bernard Kerik, a security consultant who headed the NYPD in 2000 and 2001.

Another former law enforcement official called the move “a fishing expedition.”

In a follow-up, Fox News’ Mark Steyn interviewed former federal prosecutor Francey Hakes, who noted Bank of America’s response was peculiarly-absent of any mention of “search warrants, court orders or subpoenas…” Hakes noted that the Fourth Amendment protects against searches that aren’t “particularized” or when a judge signs off an order to search the records of a specific individual based on evidence.

“Financial information is highly private in this country and is given heightened protection,” she added.

Telegraphed Move

So far, JP Morgan Chase and Wells Fargo haven’t responded if they’ve conducted similar internal search efforts of customer information. Yet, this follows an antigun animus by Bank of America. In 2018, Bank of America announced they would end financial relationships with manufacturers of modern sporting rifles, which they erroneously called “military-style rifle.” The move followed a similar announcement by Citigroup.

Delving into private transactions and using big banks to approve of purchases isn’t a new idea. In fact, this is the fulfillment of New York Times’ columnist Andrew Ross Sorkin’s call for such action and who proposed the notion in 2017 and 2018. It was later parroted by Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke as a potential gun control program.

It also shouldn’t be surprising that big banks with antigun agendas are emboldened to violate their customers’ privacy, turn them out and label them as “extremist” and “domestic terrorist.” The Biden administration yanked the publication of the “Fair Access” banking rule by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. That gave banks the green light to continue to openly discriminate against firearm business, which is just privatization with a wink-and-nod to continue the illegal Operation Choke Point that was begun under the Obama administration.

It is no longer the Bank of America. It is a gun control cabal working to undermine American freedoms, label gun owners as criminals, and use their customers’ money and information as the tools to get it done. Welcome to the Bank of Gun Control America.
