U.S. hypersonic missile tests continue to fail, making America increasingly vulnerable to sneak attack by Russia, China

(Natural News) Most Americans would have assumed that their best and brightest military commanders and national security experts were aware, some years ago, when Russia and China began serious efforts to develop next-generation hypersonic ballistic missiles, and then react by implementing a development program of our own.

But apparently, our military geniuses were more concerned about wasting trillions of dollars to convert tribal civilizations in Afghanistan and Iraq into miniaturized versions of the United States because they completely blew off what Russia and China were doing.

Now, some years later, both of those countries have not simply successfully tested these wonder weapons, they have deployed them — and the U.S. is still struggling to catch up. In fact, testing of hypersonic weapons by the Pentagon is not going well at all, putting Washington further behind and keeping America more vulnerable than ever to a lightning-quick sneak attack.

“The first US hypersonic weapon will be delayed for as long as a year under a new schedule, even as lawmakers protest that the Pentagon is lagging behind in a new technology that Russia has already used in Ukraine and China has demonstrated in a space launch,” Bloomberg News reports.

“The goal to declare an ‘early operational capability’ for the Lockheed Martin missile by Sept. 30 has been moved back to sometime in the next fiscal year, according to an Air Force statement,” the report continued.

This, despite the fact that the U.S. spends nearly $800 billion a year on defense.

The Defense Department has also said that the Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon, or ARRW, will likely be the “nation’s first operational hypersonic weapon,” though again, at this point, there is no way of knowing when that will be — despite the fact that Russia has fielded an operational hypersonic weapon and has already used it in combat. And these weapons, by the way, are nuclear-capable.

Bloomberg continues:

Hypersonic weapons are hard to track and destroy because they fly five times the speed of sound and can be maneuvered. Last month, Russia debuted a hypersonic air-to-ground missile in its attack on Ukraine, and in July, China hit a demonstration target on Earth with a weapon in orbit.

Adversaries don’t have to meet the rigorous standards set under the US defense acquisition system or face public scrutiny over delays and failure.

But then again, they also aren’t wasting money fighting endless brush fire wars in faraway lands for decades at a time, though Russia has certainly bit off a massive financial sinkhole in attacking its western neighbor.

According to Bloomberg, propulsion appears to be the setback for the U.S. weapon, as the Lockheed missile experienced booster motor failures for three tests in a row, which put the project behind in terms of passing two additional motor tests and at least one missile that is fully assembled.

And now, “due to the recent flight test anomalies,” the Air Force says, the very first test of a complete missile has been moved to between Oct. 1 and Dec. 30 this year, with additional testing already planned for next year as well.

Continuing, the Air Force statement said that the service branch will declare an early operational capability “after successful demonstration of operational utility” via tests of the fully assembled missile following successful booster motor demonstrations — meaning, the U.S. will remain vulnerable until the Air Force and Lockheed can figure out how to make a missile that Russia and China have already deployed work.

When the weapon has demonstrated at least some capability, remaining test missiles could theoretically be used in an emergency because, for the time being, the Air Force has delayed a former production order.

The Army and the Navy are also working on a hypersonic missile design, but the Air Force was thought to be the furthest along. The latter two services are utilizing a shared two-stage booster rocket to launch the warhead into hypersonic flight, but it has yet to undergo testing.

With the delays, however, America remains vulnerable and that’s unacceptable.

Deep State Claiming Ownership of YOUR Children

The Deep State and its minions are coming out of the closet when it comes to your children, with key people including Joe Biden claiming that your children belong to them and that those same children need to be protected from you, The New American magazine Senior Editor Alex Newman explains in this episode of Behind The Deep State. Incidentally, many of the people making this argument have a disturbing history of relations with children. Right now, the Deep State-controlled United Nations and its member governments are moving to criminalize traditional parenting. Eventually, the agenda is to replace parents completely, allowing the state to take control of raising the next generation. There are few battles in the fight for freedom more critical than this one.  🇺🇸 The New American: http://www.thenewamerican.com/

Biden Sues Alabama, Claims Ban on Transgender Child Abuse Violates 14th Amendment

BY DANIEL GREENFIELD

SEE: https://robertspencer.org/2022/05/biden-sues-alabama-claims-ban-on-transgender-child-abuse-violates-14th-amendment;

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

The Fourteenth Amendment states that “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

At no point in time does it state that states are not allowed to ban child abuse simply because a particular group tends to practice that abuse. For example, states can be raping 7-year-olds even though Mohammed married a 7-year-old girl. 

Biden and his hack running the DOJ disagree.

The DOJ has sued Alabama over Senate Bill (S.B.) 184 or the Vulnerable Child Compassion and Protection Act. 

The filing is filled with woke gibberish that makes lots of assertions without ever meeting a basic legal standard.

For example, “This lawsuit challenges a state statute that denies necessary medical care to children based solely on who they are.”

The assertion that children being subjected to puberty blockers or other abuses are “who they are” is completely unproven. There is no factual basis for asserting that the children being subjected to these “treatments” are any different than any other children.

The law bans all children from being subjected to such medical experiments, based not on their identity, but on the procedures.

“All people, including transgender youth, deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. And the Fourteenth Amendment demands that Alabama not “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” U.S. Const. amend. XIV.”

All children deserve to be protected. Banning experimental procedures on children that will damage them irreversibly doesn’t diminish dignity and respect. Nor does it deprive anyone of equal protection. 

It is a form of protection.

The core of the argument is that medical procedures can be used to help children who suffer from physical defects, but not for “transgender” procedures.

S.B. 184 thus allows a minor to receive certain medical procedures or treatment only if they will be used to affirm the sex that the minor was assigned at birth. 6. The law discriminates against transgender minors by unjustifiably denying them access to certain forms of medically necessary care. 7. While criminalizing certain forms of medically necessary gender affirming care for transgender minors, S.B. 184 permits all other minors to access the same procedures and treatments. 

Biden’s DOJ keeps saying “medically necessary”, but it really means “psychologically necessary” which is not the same thing.

Medical procedures are concerned with repairing physical defects. Puberty blockers for psychological reasons based on a destructive current trend are not medically necessary. 

That’s the equivalent of arguing that if patients who need to have a leg amputated after suffering a car accident can get it done, then it violates the Fourteenth Amendment not to allow people with body integrity identity disorder (BIID) which is a mental problem in which people want their limbs removed to be able to do it too.

Obviously cutting off people’s body parts due to their delusions is never an answer. And, secondly, this kind of thing should never be inflicted on children.

Biden is fighting to engage in child abuse.

World Economic Forum believes people are “useless eaters,” and views their “brains and bodies” as product that can be hacked, controlled and discarded

The Easiest People to Manipulate Are People That Believe In Free Will

"We Don't Need to Wait for Jesus Christ" In Order to Overcome Death

(Natural News) One of the brains behind The World Economic Forum (WEF), is the self-proclaimed prophet, Yuval Noah Harari. He believes in the Great Reset, transhumanism, culling the population, and using a global government to control humanity at the bio-metric level. He is praised by Bill Gates, Barack Obama Mark Zuckerberg, and Klaus Schwab, leader of the WEF.

Harari talks about “useless human beings” who do not have meaning or purpose. He said the greatest fake news is the Bible. He said Christianity is wrong, that humans are here on Earth for “nothing.” “Jesus Christ is fake news,” be balked. He believes there is “no great cosmic plan” that humans have a role to play in. Instead, he views humans as “useless eaters” who can be hacked and manipulated using digital surveillance under their skin.

He also believes in culling the population. “What do we need so many humans for?” he is quoted as saying while promoting his latest book.

Meet Yuval Noah Harari, a trans-humanist who wants to hack and manipulate human populations

In a recent interview, Harari said the world is entering a new industrial revolution, but the products will not be physical goods. Harari said science, technology, and industry’s greatest challenge of the 21st century will be “to try to gain control of the world inside us, to learn how to engineer and produce bodies and brains and minds.” He says these are likely to be the “main products” of the 21st-century economy.

He said, “Once you know how to produce bodies and brains and minds so cheap labor in Africa and South Asia, it simply counts for nothing.”
“The biggest question in maybe economics and politics of the coming decades will be what to do with all these useless people,” he said with a straight face. He said technology will ensure that everyone is fed, so “food is not the problem.”

“The problem is more boredom, and what to do with them, and how will they find some sense of meaning in life, when they are basically meaningless, worthless.” He prescribed drugs and computer games as solutions to entertain “useless” people’s brains.

He said a global government will collect and use data on every person to learn how to engineer bodies, brains, and minds. He says data and biometrics will be used to hack human beings and re-engineer the future of human life itself. He said, “intelligent design” never existed and any notion of a Creator God will be driven out of society, as humans become hackable, programmable. Harari even claims that the laws of natural selection and organic biochemistry will be eliminated and replaced by a trans-humanist future, where humans become hackable animals, manipulated and controlled.

“We have the technology to hack humans on a massive scale,” he said. He added crises should be exploited to implement more surveillance throughout society so “elites” can monitor, collect data, and engineer the future trajectory of human life. Much of this surveillance will “come under the skin” as biometric data become a pathway to manipulate human populations. Harari said we already have the ability to go under the skin and collect biometric data, allowing “elites” the power to re-engineer life itself. “We are upgrading humans into gods,” he said.

He said in an emergency, people trust the “scientists.” He used the example of priests and ministers shutting down their churches worldwide in 2020 to prove that God is dead. Going forward, people will put their faith in the scientific elite and global government, he balked. “Even the religious leaders trust the scientists,” he said.

Pennsylvania Amish organic farmer faces hefty fine, jail time for producing CLEAN MEAT

Image: Amish organic farmer faces hefty fine, jail time for producing CLEAN MEAT

BY RAMON TOMEY

SEE: https://www.naturalnews.com/2022-05-01-farmer-faces-fines-jail-producing-clean-meat.html;

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

(Natural News) An Amish organic farmer is facing a hefty fine and a prison term for the simple crime of producing clean meat.

Amos Miller runs a holistically managed farm in Bird-in-Hand, Pennsylvania, where he breeds cows, chickens, and pigs. The animals in his century-old farm are bred without the use of chemicals and medications mandated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). According to Miller, he raises his animals in the way he believes God intended them to be raised – in accordance with nature.

However, a federal judge ordered the Amish farmer to cease and desist all sales of his organic meat. This same magistrate also ordered Miller to pay $250,000 for “contempt of court” last summer. He added that the farmer needs to pay an initial $50,000 as a “good faith” payment to avoid jail.

To make matters worse, armed U.S. marshals raided his property, farm store, and freezers at the behest of the federal judge. They took an inventory of all his meat to ensure he will no longer be able to sell or slaughter any more animals. (Related: Small town business owner spent 7 years building up organic meat company, only to be shut down by village board.)

Miller, who runs a private members-only food distribution network, alleged that the federal government is prosecuting him for practicing his religious freedom in the way he raises and prepares food. “Our members don’t want any of that. They want fresh, raw meat with no additives. Our members want it straight from the farm with no preservatives on it.”

The members of Miller’s private food club agree, saying they do not like their grass-fed meat laced with chemical preservatives mandated by the USDA. Numbering around 400, they have also signed contracts that state their awareness of the meat not being processed in USDA-inspected plants or treated with preservatives.

USDA prefers people eat chemicals instead of clean foods

According to Miller, all USDA-licensed processing plants are required to treat all meat – regardless of whether they are organic or grass-fed – with synthetic preservatives.

“Often, they use citric acid, which you’d think comes from oranges or lemons. But it’s a modified substance made from corn, and they don’t even have to label it on the meat,” he explained.

A customer who handles the Amish farmer’s website and other modern communications concurred with him, saying: “The USDA processing plants require the meat to be treated with a chemical cocktail of citric acid, lactic acid, and peracetic acid. The peracetic acid is toxic, and the citric and lactic [acids] are GMO.”

Anke, another customer of Miller, pointed out that the lactic acid used to preserve meat is not a natural version. “It’s not lactic acid coming from the fermentation of sauerkraut. It’s all created in a dish in a lab,” she said. “It’s a synthetic sterilizer that causes many health problems.”

According to Miller, he and other small farmers would still be nearly impossible to make a profit – thanks to giant meat companies acting as middlemen. Furthermore, the exorbitant costs of obtaining a USDA meat processing license make matters worse.

The Amish farmer lamented: “The rules and regulations are such that you have to get into [a] $100,000 debt before you ever sell your first pound of meat – and the market’s not guaranteed. There’s no option for farmers to start small, and add on and buy equipment as they can.”

“[We have to] either get a license or go out of business. Our position is we’d rather go out of business because their rules and regulations are too hard to follow. We have many small farmers in our area that would love to be farmers, but the business has gotten so monopolized.”

Anke agreed with Miller, saying that ultimately, “it’s all about profit and money.” She added: “They want a monopoly on beef, pork, and poultry. They are basically saying ‘Unless you go through federal inspection, you are making people sick.'”

Mayorkas Claims the Disinformation Board Is Only For Foreigners

Relax: Mayorkas Says His New Thought Police Won’t Monitor U.S. Citizens

BY ROBERT SPENCER

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

DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas made the rounds of the talking head shows on Sunday to do some damage control and address concerns that the Biden administration’s new Disinformation Governance Board within the Department of Homeland Security signifies an all-out war against the freedom of speech. Those concerns were only exacerbated by the revelation that the chief of Old Joe’s Thought Police, Nina Jankowicz, is an enthusiastic fascist who is so excited about censorship that she sings musical comedy numbers about it in an affected English accent. Mayorkas, however, is telling us now that there is really nothing, nothing whatsoever, to worry about. But his soothing claims show some signs of being yet more of that disinformation he claims he wants to fight.

We’ve already gotten disinformation about the Disinformation Governance Board. Jen Psaki claimed Friday that it wasn’t the sainted President's Dementia at all, but the hated Trump, who set up the Board. There doesn’t appear to be a shred of truth to this, as even Mayorkas had announced the Board as “new,” and on Sunday, CNN’s Dana Bash asked Mayorkas, “Would you be okay if Donald Trump were president, if he created this Disinformation Governance Board or if it is in place in 2024, that he’s in charge of such a thing?” Mayorkas didn’t echo Psaki and answer that Trump had actually created the Board. Instead, he insisted “that we’re safeguarding the right of free speech, that we’re safeguarding civil liberties.” Sure they are.

Despite working for CNN, Bash actually acted like a real journalist, pursuing Mayorkas about some of the principal problems with the Board. “It’s still not clear to me,” she said, “how this governance board will act and what will it do.” Good point. It’s not clear to anyone. And all Mayorkas could offer in answering this all-important question was windy generalities: “So what it does is it works to ensure that the way in which we address threats, the connectivity between threats and acts of violence, are addressed without infringing on free speech, protecting civil rights and civil liberties, the right of privacy.”

Sure. It was reminiscent of how politicians always promise that the government will magically do all manner of wonderful things for us while simultaneously lowering our taxes. Mayorkas is a similar kind of magician: he’ll stamp out alleged disinformation while protecting the freedom of speech. A regular Houdini.

Bash then asked Mayorkas: “Will American citizens be monitored?” His answer was unequivocal and reassuring: “No. The board does not have any operational authority or capability. What it will do is gather together best practices in addressing the threat of disinformation from foreign state adversaries from the cartels and disseminate those best practices to the operators that have been executing in addressing this threat for years.”

Related: Biden to Name a Fan of Disinformation as ‘Disinformation Czar’

Okay, so it’s all about “disinformation” from “foreign state adversaries” and “the cartels,” not from Americans at all. Yet when Politico revealed the existence of the Board last Wednesday, it said that the Board would “coordinate countering misinformation related to homeland security, focused specifically on irregular migration and Russia.” Mayorkas then added on Thursday that the Board was intended to “more effectively combat this threat not only to election security but to our homeland security.” Jen Psaki then mused about some of the areas the Disinfo Board might tackle: “We know there has been a range of [disinformation] out there about a range of topics, I mean, including COVID for example, and also elections and eligibility.”

Both Mayorkas and Psaki mentioned elections. The Leftist establishment has shrilly insisted that any skepticism about the one-hundred-percent honesty and integrity of the 2020 presidential election was “disinformation.” But apparently, the Disinformation Governance Board won’t be dealing with that at all, but only with supposed disinformation about elections in foreign countries. And likewise, while there has been immense domestic skepticism about the administration’s COVID claims (remember Biden’s winter of severe illness and death?), the jolly old Board will only swoop in if Vladimir Putin or a drug cartel leader starts saying that maybe the virus originated in a lab in Wuhan. Do I have this right, Mr. Mayorkas?

This is apparently what Mayorkas would have us believe. Fox’s Bret Baier said to him, “Americans are generally wary of anything that suggests censorship.” Mayorkas answered that his Board was just the remedy for that: “That is exactly why we set up this working group to make sure that our work to address a real threat to the homeland, the threat posed by Russian disinformation, the threat posed by Chinese disinformation, by Iranian disinformation, the work that we do does not infringe on people’s right of free speech. That’s why this working group was set up. And we will do a better job of communicating about that.” Yet from what he and others have said so far, it sounds as if Mayorkas’ claim that “the work that we do does not infringe on people’s right of free speech” will end up looking as fake as the claim that Trump colluded with Russia. Remember, you were a purveyor of “disinformation” if you doubted that one, too.

MIKE ADAMS: Biden regime's MINISTRY OF TRUTH led by the QUEEN CLOWN of Clownworld!

BANNED BY AIRBNB: Hello, Patriots! This is a Special Alert from Michelle Malkin for May 2, 2022.

The speech that got Michelle banned from Airbnb!

MICHELLE FIGHTS AIRBNB

HELP MICHELLE FIGHT ANTI-AMERICAN
AIRBNB BAN
Screen Shot 2022-05-02 at 10.14.53 AM

Dear fellow patriots: You may have heard about how my law-abiding family and I were BANNED by woke Airbnb as retaliation for my America First journalism, advocacy, and free speech. (You can WATCH the full speech that got me banned here.)

Tucker Carlson highlighted my case recently and blasted Airbnb and the smear merchants at the Southern Poverty Law Center behind the campaign to punish me, my husband, and my loved ones for speaking up in defense of the historic American nation. I have been raising money to pursue a legal battle against the San Francisco speech-stiflers at Airbnb on behalf of my family -- and all other like-minded patriots who are facing similar Silicon Valley persecution for their views.

This is something I've never done before in the nearly 30 years I've been in public life. I've helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for others in need, but not for my own battles.

Tucker said: "Is the kind of country you want to live in? The media have no problem with it. Nobody in Congress has said a word about it. Michelle Malkin is fighting this on her own. Whether you agree with Michelle Malkin or not is irrelevant. You ought to be fervently hoping she wins."

Watch the whole segment by clicking here if you missed it.

More than 800 supporters have generously stepped up to contribute to my crowdfunded legal campaign over the past two months.

I have just over 24 HOURS left and I hope you will join me. Instead of giving more money to woke companies (Starbucks, Disney, Google, Netflix, Hollywood!) that hate conservative patriots and their families, please consider supporting my battle for freedom of speech, assembly, association, and America First journalism/advocacy.

All it takes is an army of small donors to fight the globalist big tech thought police. If my husband and children are being targeted, yours may be next, too.

THANK YOU for helping to spread the word and stand with me in the breach.

In liberty,

Michelle

Disney Democrats Think Corporations Should Be Our Governments

BY DANIEL GREENFIELD

SEE: https://robertspencer.org/2022/05/disney-dems-think-corporations-should-be-our-governments;

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

Leftists used to hate corporations. Now they want them to rule over us.

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.

Democrats, after spending the last decade sneering that Republicans believe “corporations are people”, have found a new group of oppressed victims to shelter, protect, and fight for.

Corporations.

Not since a bunch of men decided that they want to shower with teenage girls and join their swim teams, have lefties turned around their core beliefs faster than hotel bed sheets.

Biden ranted that the “far-right has taken over the party” because, “Christ, they’re going after Mickey Mouse.” Of the two, you know which one Joe Biden believes in. Disney employees have directed over $1 million in cash to the Biden campaign. That’s something Biden can bow to.

The rest of the party and the movement are just as outraged that Gov. DeSantis stood up to a multinational corporation on behalf of the voters and parents of Florida.

“The Real Reason Today’s Republican Party Hates Corporations Like Disney,” wailed Will Bunch: the Philly Inquirer’s pet clickbait troll. Gov. Jared Polis of Colorado accused Gov. DeSantis of “authoritarian socialist attacks on the private sector”.  A Washington Post op-ed even charged Rep. Lauren Boebert with wanting to “cancel Mickey Mouse.”

All of these social justice energies are being expended to argue that a major multinational corporation should have a 39 square mile self-governing district with its own zoning laws, police, and fire departments.

Forget corporations being people, Democrats want them to be governments.

Lefties used to be the biggest critics of special interest scams like the Reedy Creek Improvement District. A few years ago the media would have dug into the lies that were used to secure the territory on which Disney was going to build the homes of tomorrow, only to instead construct the tawdry resorts of yesterday where alligators can eat as many toddlers as they want and Silicon Valley types can spend $5K on the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser hotel.

Now the media awkwardly pivots to declaring that corporations should have their own cities. Lefties loudly shout that only far-right extremists like Gov. DeSantis would ever question the idea that corporations should be able to make their own laws and have their own police forces.

Truly, those whom DeSantis would destroy, he first drives mad.

All of this started because Disney came out in opposition to a parental rights law that the majority of Republicans, Independents, and even Democrats supported. But Disney execs decided that kindergarteners need to be indoctrinated on sex no matter what Mom and Dad say.

Disney and the Democrats were pretty confident that Gov. DeSantis and Republicans would bow. Corporate and sports league pressure had shut down religious freedom laws and protections for women and girls from Indiana to Utah. Republican governors, when faced with threats of corporate boycotts, have repeatedly sold out their voters and bowed to the buck.

Gov. DeSantis not only refused to bow, he took away Disney’s state within a state. The message is clear. Disney doesn’t rule in Florida, only the voters do. But Democrats want elected officials to listen to corporations. And they want those corporations to govern all of us.

They want Twitter, Facebook, Google, and other Big Tech companies to decide what we should be able to say and read. They want banks and credit card companies to stop us from donating to conservative causes or buying guns. And they want the corporations that employ us to be able to fire us the moment we express an unguarded thought they don’t like.

Corporate governance now means a monopolistic woke cartel using its wide scope of authority over national services, communications, and employment to suppress political dissent.

The Bill of Rights still occasionally keeps governments from doing some things, at least until they declare a political emergency due to a pandemic, a disputed election, or the day of the week, while nothing restrains the power of Google or Amazon to erase you from the internet while its stock price goes up another few billion thanks to the adulatory media coverage.

And since the same corps and leagues that give marching orders to cowardly GOP governors also take orders from Communist China, that means we’re really answering to Xi’s lackeys.

Like Disney.

But to the wokes, corporations have joined the totem pole of the oppressed, somewhere below suicide bombers in burkas, giant junkies who overdose while grappling with cops, tribal casino owners whiter than Elizabeth Warren, and bearded inmates of female correctional facilities.

You might say that what’s good for Disney is good for Democrats.

Should Disney have its own state within Florida? Mouseketeers and lefties want Disney to run the whole state. Much as they want the NCAA to run Indiana and Google the rest of the planet.

Gov. DeSantis refused to let his state become a Mickey Mouse operation. Some other governors, including Gov. Abbott in Texas, are joining him in declaring independence, not from the country, but from the cartel of woke corporations being used to set state policy.

Corporations, like governments, can be perfectly good and useful things. Like governments, they become a toxic assault on our rights and freedoms when they start telling us what to do.

And then they’re no different than any other form of tyranny.

Disney could have been perfectly happy churning out new Captain America and other superhero projects that had been signed off on by Chinese Communist censors while peddling $10 sodas and access to two-hour lines in order to ride their politically correct roller coasters.

Instead, Disney execs decided to throw around their power beyond the confines of their self-governing banana republic and its endless collection of ramshackle ripoff resorts and tried to rule over a state instead of just their unfortunate employees and customers.

Now, Disney is paying the price for its totalitarian hubris.

Some conservatives argue that this is “viewpoint discrimination”. And they might have a point if all Disney did was express an opinion. Corporate execs are entitled to their opinions like everyone else and corporations are free to express their concerns about what affects them. What they are not entitled to do is usurp the power of the government, its officials, and its voters.

When corporations don’t limit their areas of interest to their business affairs and instead demand that states, cities, and communities must comply with every single leftist agenda item or face their wrath, then they become the real governments while the people are rendered powerless.

And nobody, or almost nobody except a few Florida Democrats, wants to be ruled by Disney.

After generations of class warfare populism, the new woke gentry want corporations to crush the peasant parents who think that they, not Disney, have the right to raise their children.

That’s not just an abandonment of their entire political movement and worldview going back two centuries, it’s an act of political suicide akin to electing Biden and Kamala during a crisis.

If lefties want to champion corporations as our new governments, they should run on that.

Surely Florida voters, not to mention Americans from all states, races, genders, creeds, and levels of drunkenness will happily embrace this brave new proposal for corporate governance.

After Disney is appointed to run Florida and consigns political opponents to cleaning the vomit out of Space Mountain, Facebook can take over California, filling the cities with golden statues of Zuckerberg, while Amazon rules over the Northwest with gulags of warehouses.

Nobody wants that dystopian insanity except the Left, which used to hate corporations, but now wants them to tell us what we can say, what we are allowed to think, and how we should live.

  • This means to achieve zero COVID China must kill every living animal, close all borders to people moving into or out of the country, and change crews for all imports and exports on planes, trains and trucks to completely isolate the people
  • The goal is likely not zero COVID since one government adviser told a reporter, "eventually everyone will have to live with the virus." In the meantime, people are starving in their homes, their pets are beaten to death, food is being thrown away and adults and children are being force vaccinated in their homes and on the street
  • Roughly 26 million Shanghai residents, 1 out of 3 of whom are elderly, have been unable to go to the store or get medication starting March 28, 2022, and if they test positive, they are forced to quarantine in metal cubicle cities without temperature control or running water in their hut

Official Chinese policy is aimed at zero COVID cases, infections, or deaths in the country.1 To that end, they locked down more than half of the country’s largest cities,2 including 26 million people in Shanghai.

As a way to put the scale of what's happening in China into perspective, CNBC3 took a look at the numbers as they relate to the financial center of Shanghai. The city is home to the world's busiest port and the lockdowns have forced roughly three times as many people as live in New York City to stay home, undergo mass viral testing, and in some cases be forced vaccination.4

While their official permanent resident population in 2020 was 24.9 million,5 some believe it now is near 26 million.6 But that's just 1.8% of the total population of the country.7 Shanghai accounts for 7.3% of exports from the country and 14.4% of imports. Many of these exports come from the semiconductor manufacturing center in Shanghai and many automobile manufacturers also have plants in Shanghai.

It's also a major center for many multinational corporations, including P&G, Nike, General Electric, and Apple. Each of these corporations and industries, as well as the goods produced and exported, are affected by these lockdowns, which cannot stem the spread of this virus.

It is crucial to know and understand what is happening to the people of China as internet censors are removing information8 and mainstream media are not covering the extent of the issue. Much of the surveillance and data gathering that support these brutal attacks on the people come from a QR code system9 that has been in place since February 2020.

Individuals must download the app on their phones to go to stores or ride public transportation. Without approval from the system, people are locked out. The system monitors activities and reports them directly to the police,10 an action that is not widely known or understood. This is the type of vaccine passport system some would like to be released around the world.

Chinese Government Claims Measures Are to Achieve Zero COVID

COVID-19 made its first appearance in Wuhan, China, before 9,000 military athletes from all over the world went to Wuhan to participate in the 2019 World Military Games, creating a super spreader event.11,12

Officially, the Chinese government has a zero-COVID policy, which they describe as “the only way forward,” as reported by The Washington Post.13 According to the Post:

“Wu Zunyou, the chief epidemiologist of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said last week that the reason other countries didn’t follow this approach is because they were simply unable — unlike China.

Other countries had no choice but to “lie down” and accept the virus, but “dynamically clearing” remains the best option for China, he said.”

The zero COVID policy is unachievable with what we know about the virus and it is unthinkable that the Chinese government officials and health experts are unaware of the facts that make their goal unrealistic. It’s unbelievable that they are unaware the measures they put in place to achieve that goal are brutal and insupportable.

The COVID-19 virus comes from a family of viruses that commonly cause the common cold.14 These viruses have an animal reservoir, which we also know to be true about SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.15,16 This means that when the virus is not infecting people, it is infecting animals. It's apparent the Chinese government knows this by some of the actions they've been taking.

Yet, while they believe household pets may carry the virus and spread it, they are not extending their measures to address the billions of wildlife that exist in the country with similar potential to carry the virus, even though they claim the virus first originated in a bat.

To reasonably achieve zero COVID in China, it would require killing every animal in the country and completely closing the borders to any travel in or out, including import of goods, unless those products were stopped at the border and a different crew took over the truck, plane, or train.

In other words, using the Chinese government's logic, China must be separated from the rest of the world. However, like all mass measures against millions of people, some information gets out. I must warn you that the rest of this article details just some of the atrocities being perpetrated on the people of China and the videos supporting these claims are disturbing to watch.

26 Million People Confined to Their Homes in Shanghai

To put what follows into perspective, on April 18, 2022, Reuters17 reported that Shanghai had experienced three deaths from the Omicron variant, which we now know produces no more than mild cold symptoms in most people.18 Reportedly, this was the first death in Shanghai of patients with COVID-19 in the current outbreak.

Shanghai continues to report asymptomatic COVID cases as well as symptomatic illnesses and has conducted more than 200 million nucleic acid tests since March 10, 2022. This all is an effort to achieve a zero COVID country. Yet, in an interview with government adviser Dr. Ivan Hung, ABC News19 learned that “eventually everyone will have to live with the virus,” which is far from having a zero-COVID state.

A phased lockdown in Shanghai began March 28, 2022, but by April 5, 2022, 26 million residents were under the single biggest citywide restrictions since the pandemic began.20 These lockdowns forced residents to stay in their homes and did not allow them to visit the grocery store to replenish food or to get medication from the pharmacy.

This affected hundreds of thousands of elderly in the city, which experts estimate accounts for nearly one-third of the Shanghai population.21 The South China Morning Post22 tells the plight of one elderly couple who, like others in their position, live alone and keep less than a week's worth of food at home.

At the start of the lockdown, the couple began rationing the food they had, hoping to make it through the lockdown or until government supplies could reach their home. Their daughter was also quarantined, and the couple was unable to use smartphones because of their eyesight.

In their case, a young couple in the compound began organizing help for all the elderly residents to get them food and supplies. But not every isolated older individual had this help. This video shows people trying to break out of a compound, shouting “We are starving!”23

Despite the strain on the city's logistics and delivery system that impacted food shortages, a video released on social media shows large quantities of fruits and vegetables delivered to a warehouse where they were opened and shoveled directly into garbage bins.24

One online list of people who have died because of the restrictions was deleted by the Chinese Communist Party-backed censors. Radio Free Asia25 reports that although a user saved it to a blockchain-based site, the URL was blocked. The site claimed more than 152 deaths were directly linked to the zero COVID restrictions and that these were “incomplete numbers.”

Among the names were a former official at the Hongkau district maternal and child health center after he committed suicide, a nurse who died from an asthma attack, the vice president of NETCOM Securities, who died from a stroke, and several suicides of people who died jumping from tall buildings.26

Brutality Used to Enforce Quarantine Orders and Vaccinations

After testing positive, residents are not allowed to quarantine in their homes but are transported to quarantine camps where they are packed into metal cell cities quickly erected around Shanghai. One shown on ABC News27 had 3,900 beds and was built in one week.

Residents who are unwilling to be transported to camps without adequate facilities, temperature control, or food are brutally grabbed off the street.28 The Guardian29 reported that in early April 2022, 30 hospitals across the city suspended operations.

In other words, as the government told their citizens they feared a rising number of cases and deaths, they also suspended operations at hospitals. Individuals began taking to social media to ask for help. The Guardian30 reported that one resident wrote “I’m not able to buy food. I have nothing left in my fridge. My neighborhood has been sealed off. I don’t know what to do.” And another:

“Our 90-year-old has diabetes. Before the lockdown, our doctor prescribed to us some medication to use at home because all the nurses were asked to help with Covid tests. Suddenly, Pudong was shut down, and we were unable to get the medication at all. Then we bought it online, but the delivery company was unable to send it to us because they are not delivering anything now.”

The cruelty against the citizens of China has not ended with the quarantine restrictions and the dangers associated with it. The Chinese government is anxious for all citizens to be vaccinated. To that end, they are hunting down people in the street31 and forcibly vaccinating adults and children.32

Sometimes they have broken into people's homes.33 In one video, you can hear a child screaming in fear while the adults are laughing.34 According to The Washington Post,35 critics of the restrictions of lockdown, brutality, and starvation consider these concerns to be an unavoidable cost of mass restrictions and no longer necessary since nearly 90% of the country is vaccinated.

Yet, officials continue to tell the citizens that relaxing restriction policies would lead to “an unsustainable surge in death.”36 However, despite more than 350,000 people who tested positive since March 1, 2022, either the country has discovered a cure, or the Omicron variant is really just a mild illness since only three unvaccinated people ages 89 to 91 have died, each of whom had preexisting medical conditions.

Shanghai Lockdown Adding Pressure to Global Supply Chain

In addition to the crimes against humanity, it's also important to recognize the economic damage caused by the citywide lockdown and the congestion in the port of Shanghai. The Epoch Times37 reports this lockdown will likely cause disruptions in logistics that will eventually exacerbate the global supply chain challenges, which began at the start of the pandemic.

One U.S. financial expert told The Epoch Times this could create greater inflationary pressure in the U.S. since Shanghai plays a crucial role in the manufacturing industry and exports to America. One survey done by the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai shows 167 U.S. companies that conduct business in Shanghai have lowered their forecasted revenues.

A shortage of staff, no raw materials, and slower production have impacted the manufacture and distribution of goods. The U.S. imports more than 15% of its products from China and will likely continue to feel the pinch of rising prices.

Pets Are Not Exempt in a Police State

Public criticism is also aimed at officials who are killing pets when owners are testing positive for the virus.38 Radio Free Asia reported the efforts of one Shanghai resident, Ji Xiaolong, who published a petition to authorities in Beijing while under lockdown.

After this he was warned about speaking out in public, but spoke to a Radio Free Asia reporter saying, "I hope my petition will be placed on Xi Jinping's desk," and that he has been taking multiple phone calls every minute from people across China since the petition was posted.

The petition followed closely on the heels of video footage of enforcement personnel beating a Corgi dog on the side of the road after the owner was taken away, having tested positive for COVID-19.

Radio Free Asia39 reports that in the video, one member of the local neighborhood committee said he poisoned the dog and then handed it over to the committee. This is only one example of pets in the city that have been abused and killed when their owners test positive for COVID-19.

After the incident, the committee responded: “At that time, the workers did not consider (the matter) very comprehensively. We will communicate with the owner and offer compensation later.”40

In another video, you can see six enforcers with long metal poles beating a very small dog to death41, and a third shows at least nine bags filled with pet cats on the curbside waiting to be killed.42

It isn’t difficult to imagine how locking down and starving residents, forcing vaccinations on children and adults, and abusing and destroying people’s pets is one more way of manipulating and controlling people to bow to the will of the elite.

One comment on Twitter seems to sum it up “Fear and hunger turn into bravery and anger against injustice. Ignorance and blind obedience turn into brutality and inhumanity.”

DELAWARE FAMILY POLICY COUNCIL REVEALS NEW BILLS TO BE VOTED ON: HB 400: No Parental Notification for Minors to Receive Gender Transition and Abortion; HB 371: Recreational Marijuana; SB 232: High School Civic Requirement

Parental Rights are threatened again this week, and the legalization of marijuana is yet again in committee. The hearing for both bills is on Tuesday morning.
Send in a comment today to advance truth this week!
Ask your legislator to: 

We've made the process super easy for you; read below to be informed and to take action.

Parental Rights
Yes, you read that right. HB 400 would allow dependents on an insurance policy to receive "sensitive health care services" without the policyholder being alerted.
Last year, a similar bill was introduced that never passed; the main difference was that it only applied to dependents between ages 18-26.
HB 400 clearly extends this practice to minor dependents.
Look at the "sensitive health care services" that your child would be able to receive without your knowledge.
I'm sure you're as outraged by that list as I am. Wouldn't you want to be notified if your child began taking experimental drugs that disrupt the natural puberty process, using your insurance coverage?
It's important to realize that this is just one of many policies, proposed and passed, that would give minors more easy access to these "sensitive services." Follow the trend:

Step 1: Increase the number of school-based health centers.

Step 2: Allow advanced practice registered nurses, many of whom are employed in these centers, to prescribe abortion pills. 

Step 3: Prevent policyholders -- parents -- from being notified when dependents receive these treatments. 
Do you see how the state is trying to remove you, the parent, as the barrier to your children having easy access to dangerous, life-altering medical decisions?
HB 400 is being heard in the House Economic Development/Banking/Insurance & Commerce committee THIS Tuesday at 11am. Click here to send your comment to the committee today, urging them to vote NO on HB 400.
Send your comment here
This committee hearing is also in person; I hope you'll also consider being present for the hearing and giving a 2-minute testimony.

Human Flourishing
Yes, this bill keeps coming back.

To recap: the original bill to legalize recreational marijuana, HB 150, was blocked in the House. But there are now two new bills that would essentially do the same thing: HB 371 and HB 372 w/ HA 1. 
In our last update, HB 371 was being heard in committee. What happened?

Committee hearings follow a consistent process for each bill:

1. The bill sponsor explains the bill, sometimes with the help of expert testimony.
2. Committee members ask questions or give comments. 
3. Finally, and most importantly, the public is given the opportunity to comment.

When HB 371 was heard, this protocol was blatantly ignored. Despite protest from Rep. Briggs King, the comment time for both the committee and the public was completely skipped, and the bill was brought straight to a vote. 

This blatant disregard for procedure was "rectified" by restarting the process. The bill is now back in committee, and will be heard at 11am on Tuesday.
Go to StopthePot.org for research about the harmful effects of marijuana and to send your comment to the committee. 
Send your comment here

Education
SB 232, the bill that would have required 10th and 12th graders to be assessed on basic US History and the rights and responsibilities of citizenship, failed in committee. This solid piece of legislation was disregarded as unnecessary.

Religious Freedom
SB 144 essentially defines a "hate crime" as a crime motivated by a "belief or perception" about the victim's characteristics. We explained in an earlier update how this subtle bill exposes a significant worldview problem.

A new amendment was proposed that removes threats from the criteria for whether desecration has occurred. Desecration in this bill applies to places of worship, burial places, schools, and monuments (this amendment also removes private property from this list).

Knowing this Assembly's history of proposing policies that elevate the protection of sexual orientation and gender identity above religious liberty, it is important to ask pointed questions and think critically through the implications of this bill.
I encourage you to listen to the discussion when it comes up in committee. Listen to hear the motivation behind this bill and its amendment.

Reminders ...
Remember to take action on these two bills ASAP!

While Americans Can’t Afford Gas, Biden Slashes Drilling

BY DANIEL GREENFIELD

It’s not Putin’s price hike, it’s Biden’s. And he insists on reminding us of that every few days.

The Biden administration on Monday reversed a Trump administration plan that would have allowed the government to lease more than two-thirds of the country’s largest swath of public land to oil and gas drilling.

The Bureau of Land Management’s decision will shrink the amount of land available for lease in the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska…

The decision returns to an Obama administration plan that allows fossil fuel extraction in up to 52% of the reserve, compared to the Trump administration’s effort to open up 82% of the land to drilling.

Nationally gas prices continue to rise, despite increased production, hitting an average of $4.13. Of course, where I live, people would wait on line for an hour to get $4.13 gas and consider $5.13 a mouthwatering bargain.

But that’s what happens when you put enviros in charge of a city, a state, or a country.

While Biden and his lackeys advise Americans to buy $55,000 electric cars, they fly jet planes everywhere and then keep blocking efforts to make America energy independent.

Florida Governor DeSantis Says He’ll Fight Biden’s ‘Ministry of Truth’

Dear George Orwell:

Just a note to thank you for your book 1984 and its description of how the government can control unhealthy and wrongheaded speech. We are going to follow your suggestions and hope we get the same result with our very own Ministry of Truth as you got with yours.

Sincerely,

Joseph Robinette Biden

President, United States

George Orwell proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that anything a human being can imagine — no matter how far-fetched or silly — can someday come true. All that’s necessary is for “good men to do nothing.”

In the case of Joe Biden’s proposed “disinformation office” in the Department of Homeland Security, it’s more a question of bad men having the power to do bad things while good men are locked out, pounding on the door to get in.

As Biden knew it would, his disinformation office has generated widespread and sometimes hysterical, sometimes over-the-top opposition by the right. And it’s also become part of the 2024 presidential campaign — also, as Biden knew it would.

This is an issue that illustrates the divide in American politics more clearly than most. The left wants a monopoly on defining “hate speech” and wants to be the arbiter of political discourse.

Related: Why Does the Left Have Such a Difficult Time With the Concept of ‘Free Speech’?

Quite simply, that can’t be allowed to happen. And Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis wants to be on the front lines of the battle.

“They want to be able to put out false narratives without people being able to speak out and fight back,” DeSantis said. “But we’re not going to let Biden get away with this one, so we will be fighting back.”

DeSantis is the latest conservative to slam the Department of Homeland Security’s new “Disinformation Governance Board”, which has come under intense scrutiny since it was first revealed Wednesday.

The hashtag “Ministry of Truth” was trending on Twitter Thursday as critics compared the new board to George Orwell’s “1984” novel.

Biden’s “disinformation” board is actually more insidious than Orwell’s fictional ministry. Orwell’s ministry of truth had a well-defined blueprint to follow. Biden’s disinformation bureau is going to end up using its powers subjectively.

“You cannot have a Ministry of Truth in this country,” DeSantis said.

“We believe it’s essential that individual Floridians and Americans are able to speak out against the false narratives trying to be jammed down our throats by this regime.”

He added: “They won’t be able to say things like Russia collusion … They want to be able to advocate for COVID lockdowns. They want to be able to be an advocate for school closures … but then when you speak out they want to stifle dissent.”

Just what this Disinformation Governance Board will do is unclear. Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas said at the hearing announcing the board, “The goal is to bring the resources of (DHS) together to address this threat.” What “threat” is that?

The threat of “disinformation” in minority communities ahead of the 2022 midterms.

That’s a relief. Does that mean that every time Biden compares Republican efforts at election integrity to Jim Crow that his tweet will be deleted and his account suspended?

That actually might be a valuable service. Alas, we all know that’s not to be.

The facts are clear: Democrats are losing millions of minority votes because of GOP messaging. They must suppress Republican messaging or they will become a minority party for the next generation.

And if it takes the creation of a Ministry of Truth to accomplish their goal, so be it.

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

Old Joe Biden’s ominous Disinformation Governance Board has just been announced, and it’s already expanding the scope of its responsibilities. Of course, that’s what government agencies do. They’re always looking to justify and increase their budgets, and so they’re always looking for new things to involve themselves in. But in this case, the expansion makes the agency in question even more dangerous to the American people than it was already.

When Politico revealed the existence of the Board in an offhanded statement buried 60 paragraphs down in its Wednesday “Politico Playbook,” it said that the Department of Homeland Security was “standing up a new Disinformation Governance Board to coordinate countering misinformation related to homeland security, focused specifically on irregular migration and Russia.” DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, however, went farther than that almost immediately, saying on Thursday: “We have just established a mis- and disinformation governance board in the Department of Homeland Security to more effectively combat this threat not only to election security but to our homeland security.” And when Jen Psaki defended Biden’s new Ministry of Truth on Thursday, she went farther still: “We know there has been a range of [disinformation] out there about a range of topics, I mean, including COVID for example, and also elections and eligibility.”

Was Psaki announcing more responsibilities for the Disinformation Governance Board, beyond what Politico had reported and what Mayorkas had said? It was hard to tell, as she sounded as if she was simply pointing out some of the areas in which supposed “disinformation” had circulated. However, she is the press secretary. What she says is generally the official line of the Biden administration. If she didn’t mean to say that the Disinformation Governance Board will be clamping down on what Biden’s handlers claim is “disinformation” about COVID and eligibility (we already know from Mayorkas that the Board will be working against election “disinformation”), she will have to make an additional clarifying statement. Whether or not she does that, it is also true that when Fox’s Jacqui Heinrich asked for more details about what exactly the Disinformation Governance Board would be doing, Psaki professed not to have much information: “I really haven’t dug into this exactly, I mean, we of course support this effort but let me see if I can get more specifics.”

Yes, of course, Psaki supports this flagrantly unconstitutional effort to police what Americans say and think. She even professed to be surprised that anyone would oppose this sinister new initiative: “It sounds like the objective of the board is to prevent disinformation and misinformation from traveling around the country in a range of communities. I’m not sure who opposes that effort.”

Related: FREE SPEECH ALERT: DHS Setting up New ‘Disinformation Governance Board’

Well, let’s start with everyone who realizes that yesterday’s “disinformation” — Trump didn’t collude with Russia, Hunter Biden’s laptop contains evidence of influence-peddling with Joe Biden’s involvement — is today’s breaking news. Then there are those who are deeply concerned that the government will crackdown on dissenting opinions under the guise of fighting “disinformation.” In short, anyone who understands the vital importance of the freedom of speech will oppose the very existence of the Disinformation Governance Board, and be even more alarmed by the fact that it started out on Wednesday focusing on alleged disinformation concerning illegal migration and Russia, and by the very next day had already apparently expanded its purview to include COVID, as well as “elections and eligibility.”

Some of the critics of the new board are speaking out. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Missouri) tweeted: “Rather than police our border, Homeland Security has decided to make policing Americans’ speech its top priority. They’re creating a Disinformation Board. No, really. And take a look at the views of the leftist radical running it.” Hawley then included screenshots of tweets from the new Disinformation Governance Board top dog, Nina Jankowicz, in which she referred to “America’s systemic racism,” criticized (oh, the irony, it burns) Trump for “authoritarianism,” and warned against “free speech absolutists” (that one was just from last Monday). As PJ’s Rick Moran detailed Thursday, Jankowicz is an experienced disinformation peddler herself, which only makes her appointment even more of a concern: it’s clear that Biden’s handlers aren’t trying to maintain even a semblance of even-handedness here. When they say “disinformation,” they mean “conservative opinions” and “criticism of the Left.”

There is plenty more of that criticism in areas other than those Alejandro Mayorkas and Jen Psaki have already enumerated as the responsibilities of the Disinformation Governance Board. So watch for its mission to expand even more. And more. And more.

Biden’s Disinformation Governance Board: ‘What you’re seeing is a full-scale attack on free speech’

BY ROBERT SPENCER

SEE: https://robertspencer.org/2022/04/bidens-disinformation-governance-board-what-youre-seeing-is-a-full-scale-attack-on-free-speech;

Note Carlson’s reference to NewsGuard at the end of this piece. NewsGuard has targeted Jihad Watch as well. The techniques that Biden’s handlers are using to destroy the freedom of speech now were tested and honed against foes of jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women.

“Carlson: ‘This Is the Point Where We’re Just Going to Have to Draw the Line — No, Joe Biden, You Can’t Have a Federally Funded Ministry of Truth,’” by Jeff Poor, Breitbart, April 29, 2022:

Thursday, FNC host Tucker Carlson decried recently unveiled efforts from the Biden administration to crack down on so-called disinformation through the use of the federal government’s power.

Homeland Security Secretary [Alejandro Mayorkas] announced his cabinet agency was establishing a disinformation governance board “to more effectively combat” what he deemed a threat to election and homeland security.

Transcript as follows:

CARLSON: …Joe Biden cannot continue to control this country if you have free access to information. It’s that simple. Biden certainly is not improving your life. He is not even trying to improve your life. So the best he can do is lie to you and demand that you believe it.

But to do that, he needs to make certain that nobody else can talk because if you were to hear the truth, you might not obey. How is Biden going to pull that off? It’s not easy….

So today, to herald the coming of the new Soviet America, the administration announced its own Ministry of Truth. This will be called the Disinformation Governance Board. Laugh if you want but just to show you they’re not kidding around here, this board is not part of the State Department or any other agency focused on foreign threats from abroad. No.

The disinformation governance board is part of the Department of Homeland Security. DHS is a law enforcement agency designed to police the United States and that, by the way, has a famously large stockpile of ammunition. So it’s not a joke at all.

Here is DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

ALEJANDRO MAYORKAS, SECRETARY OF U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY: We have just established a mis- and disinformation governance board in the Department of Homeland Security to more effectively combat this threat not only to election security, but to our homeland security.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

CARLSON: Oh, so one of America’s top law enforcement officers just announced this to the Congress that actually we are going to be policing what you say, and everyone in the room kind of nods, “Oh, yes, that’s totally normal.”

But here’s what he didn’t say. So America has told us the disinformation is a threat to Homeland Security. He is the head of the Department of Homeland Security, so presumably he would know since assessing threats to Homeland Security is his job, but what he didn’t tell us is how he is defining disinformation.

So, here you have this new and terrifying thing that the Biden administration is so concerned about that it has created a new agency to fight it. But Mayorkas never said or even hinted as to what it might be. So the man in charge of the disinformation governing board never defined disinformation. It’s almost unbelievable when you think about it….

But they’re not defining the core concept at the heart of what is effectively a new law enforcement agency. Maybe that’s because Mayorkas doesn’t want justice, and neither does the President he serves. They want power, and to get power, they plan to control what you think. Watch Mayorkas explain.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

MAYORKAS: We have so many different efforts underway to equip local communities to identify individuals who very well could be descending into violence, by reason of ideologies of hate, false narratives, or other disinformation and misinformation propagated on social media and other platforms.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

CARLSON: Oh, did you know that? So, one of our biggest law enforcement agencies has men with guns around the country doing so many things to stop disinformation and false narratives. Those aren’t even lies, they’re just deviations from the approved script.

Mayorkas told us again that men with guns plan to quote, “identify individuals who could be descending into violence.” Could be descending — not people who have committed violence or even been accused of any crime at all. DHS is instead using law enforcement powers to identify and punish people who think the wrong things, that would be opponents of the Biden administration. Is this dystopian fiction? No, it’s happening right in front of us.

That means that Joe Biden’s partisan political enemies are now officially enemies of the state. How is this happening in America? Good question. But it is happening.

And Biden’s new thought cop in chief has been revealed. She is a 33-year- old, fairly self-confident young woman called Nina Jankowicz. Jankowicz comes from a place called the Wilson Center. That’s a nonprofit name for America’s other mentally incapacitated war monger bigot President.

Ironically, because everything is irony, the Wilson Center is itself a major producer of yes, disinformation, but of the neocon variety, and for that reason is heavily funded by the Biden administration. Jankowicz is also, because everything is connected, a former adviser to the neo-liberal government of Ukraine, the government, we’re shipping tens of billions of tax dollars to as our own economy swirls down the drain.

So you really can’t make any of this up. It’s too grotesque. Would you believe a novel with this plot? No, you wouldn’t. But it’s happening. And that’s the bad news.

The good news is, everyone involved in Joe Biden’s new ministry of information is a buffoon. They may be evil, but they’re also ridiculous. Nina Jankowicz is the most ridiculous of all.

So you read about her appointment in “The Washington Post” this morning, and you immediately thought of the NKVD, because why wouldn’t you. Yet even the NKVD, even at the height of Stalin’s purges, never did karaoke. They were too dignified for that. But Nina Jankowicz happily does. Here she is.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

NINA JANKOWICZ, AUTHOR, “HOW TO LOSE THE INFORMATION WAR”: Information laundering is really quite ferocious. It’s when a huckster takes some lies and makes them sound precocious by saying them in Congress or in mainstream outlets so disinformation’s origins are slightly less atrocious.

It’s how you hide a little lie, little lie. It’s how you hide a little lie, little lie. It’s how you hide a little, hide a little lie. Rudy Giuliani shared bad Intel from Ukraine. Or when TikTok influencers said COVID can cause pain. They’re laundering disinfo and we really should take note, and not support their lies we our wallet, voice or throat.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

CARLSON: This is the point of the show, we’re going to say, we’re kidding. We’re making all this up. It’s not really happening in the country you were born in, but it is happening. That’s now a law enforcement official. It’s also the person you just saw, an individual who brags about getting a Master’s Degree from Georgetown University. In case you’re wondering if the entire academic credentialing machine that sustains America’s ruling class is, in fact, a joke? Spoiler alert. Yes, it is a joke.

This is somebody with so few useful skills that she describes herself in the first words of her own bio as a quote, “internationally recognized expert on disinformation,” as if that’s a job of some sort. Imagine if one of your kids grew up to be an internationally recognized expert on disinformation. The shame you would feel, the pain of knowing that truly and unequivocally, you had failed as a parent….

Now, you may have noticed if you listened carefully to the ditty that she just sang that every example of disinformation in her karaoke performance came from people who opposed Joe Biden’s policies. Is that a coincidence? Probably not. In fact, we know it’s not because Nina Jankowicz is telling all the disinformation is on the other side of the political divide. Listen.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

JANKOWICZ: Most of the disinformation that we’ve seen in this highly emotionally manipulative content is coming from the right. If you look at the top-10 most engaged with posts on Facebook or Twitter on a given day, they are usually posts that are coming from the right and that’s because the right does deal on this highly emotional rhetoric.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

CARLSON: You’d have to live in a self-awareness-free vacuum. You might even have to go to Georgetown University to utter a sentence like that. “The right deals in this highly emotional rhetoric,” says Nina Jankowicz. Now, it’s worth noting here, because we can’t resist that this very same Nina Jankowicz once wrote an entire book about how women can’t use the Internet because it’s just too upsetting for them. They’re too fragile to read words they disagree with. It makes them faint.

Here’s a direct quote from Nina Jankowicz’s book, quote: “To be a woman online is an inherently dangerous act.” Keep in mind, if you’re a lady and you were to, I don’t know, order UberEats, you’re exposing yourself to danger.

This is the same woman, Nina Jankowicz, telling you that it’s the right that uses emotional rhetoric. Now, to be fair, Nina Jankowicz probably didn’t expect a lot of people to read that in her book because no one read her book. It has a total of two reviews on Amazon, but we did read it. We’ll get in a moment to what we found because it tells you exactly what we can expect from our new Ministry of Truth under Nina Jankowicz, but first, it’s necessary to know a little more about this person….

Nina Jankowicz, the disinformation hunter, once called the Hunter Biden laptop story, which is entirely true, a quote, “Trump campaign product.” In October of 2020, she wrote, quote: “Voters deserve the context, not a fairy tale, about a laptop repair shop.”

Now, did she give us the context or any countervailing facts? Did she deliver the truth about the story? No, of course not. She just read a bunch of lies somebody handed to her on a card because she is a useful idiot and now, she is a law enforcement official….

So Nina Jankowicz made it possible for a presidential candidate to lie from the debate stage about a story that may have changed the outcome of election, our election. Our presidential election, speaking of disinformation. She’s never apologized for that. That’s because her role has nothing to do with the truth or stopping disinformation. Her job is to restrict any speech that challenges Joe Biden or the Democratic Party.

Now, you’d think that would be illegal in this country as a Federal employee, because we do have a First Amendment, but Nina Jankowicz doesn’t believe in the First Amendment.

As she wrote recently quote, “The free speech versus censorship framing is a false dichotomy.” First of all, here’s a pro-tip. Anyone who uses the term “false dichotomy” is a moron, okay, that is one of countless academic phrases designed to prevent thought rather than facilitate it.

False dichotomy means they’re never going to have to explain why their position is correct or yours is wrong. That is dismissed with, “Oh, it’s a false dichotomy.”

Again, that’s an NPR phrase used by low-IQ people who for some reason want our country, all of a sudden. False dichotomy.

Here is what’s not false at all: Government censorship is banned by the First Amendment, the First Amendment to the Bill of Rights. This whole country is predicated on that, but according to Joe Biden’s new minister of truth, the First Amendment no longer applies in this country because Russia and systemic racism. Watch.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

JANKOWICZ: It’s clear that actors like Russia are using those internal fissures, things like our systemic racism here in the United States, things like economic inequality to amplify these issues and really make us distrust the system.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

CARLSON: So we reached out to DHS, the law enforcement agency now in charge of policing speech about Nina Jankowicz and her plans to censor you from saying what you think is true, and they assured us that they weren’t going to do that. They’re going to focus on human smuggling and Russia propaganda on Ukraine.

First of all, it’s not their job to decide what you learn about the border or Russia or Ukraine. It’s your job. You’re an adult. You can read whatever you want, but of course it’s not about that anyway.

If you read Jankowicz’s book, which we did, you will realize very quickly she was hired to police domestic social media use. Period. Quote: “I have hope we can change the norms by which our online ecosystem is governed,” she wrote in a typically illiterate sentence. This is what our colleges are producing: Morons who can’t even write in English.

Later in the book, she encourages women to go to law enforcement if they see something online they don’t like on Twitter. She called that quote, “an important step in the denormalization of women’s treatment online.”

It is hard to even believe our system produces people like this. She is an illiterate fascist.

In another book, Jankowicz made it clear that she’s not in favor of government regulation of social media when it allows conservatives to speak freely. So, she devotes an entire chapter to criticizing the country of Poland for establishing its own Ministry of Digital Affairs. Polish officials said their ministry was a way to quote, “deal with rampant online censorship of conservatives and social networks,” but she’s against that. She’s against the anti-censorship program. She’s for censorship….

What you’re seeing is a full-scale attack on free speech in a country that has been free for nearly 250 years and it is happening at the direction of the U.S. government through a law enforcement agency.

We can reveal that Biden’s Pentagon, another group with guns, awarded a $750,000.00 contract to a group called NewsGuard. Now, that contract is for misinformation fingerprints. NewsGuard is an organization that claims to fight, quote, “misinformation,” but in practice is a censorship organization. It targets anyone who challenges the people in power….

New DHS “Disinformation” unit is designed to spread the government’s disinformation while criminalizing TRUTH

BY LANCE D. JOHNSON

(Natural News) Just weeks after the Hunter Biden “laptop from hell” was unveiled to Congress and the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the formation of a “disinformation” unit inside the federal government. This “disinformation” unit will be used to create a “Ministry of Truth” on all things COVID-19, and anything related to Russia and Ukraine. This Ministry of Truth will also be used to cover up for the Biden family’s corruption in Ukraine and China – hiding a trail of evidence that goes back to a time when Joe Biden was vice president. With this move of censorship and thought control, the DHS will be turned into the Biden family’s personal mafia.

With formation of “disinformation governance board” DHS becomes Biden family’s personal mafia

DHS chief Alejandro Mayorkas has developed a “disinformation governance board” which will target and eliminate any incriminating information that the federal government doesn’t want the public to hear. This “disinformation board” will demand public obedience to oppressive Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) protocols and shut down any evidence of election fraud. The agency will take on “misinformation related to homeland security, focused specifically on irregular migration and Russia.”

This “disinformation” unit is designed to cover up government crimes while targeting the truth-tellers who expose those crimes. The executive director of this new Orwellian venture is Nina Jankowicz. She is a former advisor to the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry and a former disinformation fellow at the Wilson Center. She oversaw issues related to the National Democratic Institute lobby group. Jankowicz is the perfect candidate to cover up the Biden regime’s war crimes in Ukraine. Jankowicz will be in charge of fine-tuning the administration’s official narratives and targeting any opposition to those narratives.

She previously labeled the Hunter Biden laptop story “disinformation” – even though the criminal evidence from the laptop is now public record. This is the same woman who “shudders” at the idea of free speech. She tried to cover for the Biden family by labeling the Hunter Biden laptop story as “Russian influence op.” She also said the issue was a “Trump campaign product” that would lead Trump voters to show up at polls armed and ready to intimidate voters.

“Cat’s out of the bag,” Jankowicz tweeted. “Here’s what I’ve been up to the past two months, and why I’ve been a bit quiet on here.”                                                                    Honored to be serving in the Biden Administration @DHSgov and helping shape our counter-disinformation efforts.                                                                                              — Nina Jankowicz (@wiczipedia) April 27, 2022

Biden regime looks to shut down dissent, as Elon Musk promises free speech on Twitter

Nina Jankowicz is very concerned that the current regime and its network of propaganda pushers will lose much of their influence over social media platforms, namely Twitter. Elon Musk is in the process of acquiring Twitter and promised to restore lawful free speech across the platform. Jankowicz has previously labeled Musk an “online abuser” while calling for more censorship over people like him.

“I shudder to think about if free speech absolutists were taking over more platforms, what that would look like for the marginalized communities, which are already shouldering disproportionate amounts of this abuse,” said Jankowicz.

But with Musk in charge of Twitter, conservatives could soon have an equal playing field to debate the issues in the digital public square. Countless conservative accounts could be restored as Twitter opens back up, allowing people to discuss various issues of importance. Under Musk’s leadership, blacklists and censorship algorithms could be exposed. Twitter’s internal communications could be exposed, unveiling government and special interest control over the flow of information. The restoration of free speech at Twitter could put pressure on Facebook, Google and other platforms to end their election interference efforts. In the meantime, expect the current regime to double down on their censorship, as they desperately force their crooked narratives onto the American people.

RUSSIA & UKRAINE: A War Between Two Villains?

Many good Americans have been led to believe that the two sides in the war in Ukraine are being led by a Russian tyrant on one hand and a Ukrainian freedom fighter on the other. Yet as Senior Editor Alex Newman demonstrates in his article “A War Between Two Villains?” in the May 16, 2022 issue of The New American, the reality is very different. In this episode of “Beyond the Cover,” Newman discusses the corruption of both Putin and Zelensky, while also pointing out that in both cases there is a huge chasm between the ruler and the people. He also explains why the United States should not send soldiers to Ukraine but should instead follow a non-interventionist foreign policy.

Yes, the Biden regime is purging military of patriotic Christians, conservatives: Here’s the evidence

BY J.D. HEYES

(Natural News) In the months after Joe Biden became our nominal commander-in-chief, military observers began to notice a change in the attitude of top commanders.

The men and women who are charged with protecting our country know that the United States can never afford to lose a major war because our most dangerous enemies — Russia, China, Iran, North Korea — would never be as benevolent in victory as America would be.

And yet, in the new regime’s direction, they began disregarding time-tested, long-held training norms and standards for a “woke” new approach that focused on reversing Donald Trump’s ban on transgenders serving, more openly promoting homosexual lifestyles, loosening uniform standards, and embraced the far-left lie that America, and the U.S. military, in particular, is rife with “white supremacy” and “white nationalism.”

Now, it appears that the regime is specifically targeting the base service member: White, America-first, evangelical Christian conservatives for reduction and elimination from all branches, via the highly controversial COVID-19 vaccine mandate, which the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday struck down for private businesses.

According to the Truth for Health Foundation, the regime, as well as the top military commanders for each branch, are using these illegal vaccine mandates in ways that are compromising U.S. national security: Purging military members who refuse to take the experimental jabs; refusing any and all waiver requests whether for religious or medical reasons; physically punishing non-compliant members; allowing for the hazing and shaming of unvaccinated members; denying treatment to members who contract the virus, and burying serious reactions and deaths to the vaccines — all of which are “egregious violations of soldiers’ religious and civil rights guaranteed under the US Constitution,” the organization said this week.

“What the Biden administration and the Department of Defense are doing to our honorable sons and daughters in the military is unconscionable,” Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet, president, and CEO of Truth for Health Foundation, a non-profit that seeks to defend medical truth and individual medical freedom to choose, said.

“Our service members are being illegally ordered to take a EUA product while being told it is ‘FDA-approved.’ Comirnaty, the only FDA-approved COVID shot is not available on any U.S. military installation in the U.S. or overseas, according to military sources,” Vliet, a past Director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons and a currently practicing physician, added.

“If service members request a religious or medical exemption, they face extra duty, public humiliation, and threats of dishonorable discharge. If they talk about it, they risk career-ending discipline. Some have been arrested for requesting a religious exemption, a constitutional right all of our military take an oath to defend,” she continued.

Earlier this month, Fox News quoted several currently serving Marines who also are of the opinion that the regime is targeting military members for their political beliefs under cover of the vaccine mandate.

“There’s something fundamentally wrong at this point with our nation’s leadership,” a major with more than 17 years of active service told the network. “We are facing an unconstitutional edict that I think is very targeted as a political purge, taking out some of the best and brightest soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, and guardians from the Space Force.”

During a recent “Purging Patriots from the Military” press conference, the foundation provided “indisputable proof” from military whistleblowers and their attorneys regarding how military brass are using the mandate to violate fundamental constitutional protections regarding medical and religious rights.

The organization also documented violations of Universal Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) regulations and how the service has conducted medical experimentation on members without their informed consent.

“Catastrophic damage from the experimental vaccines and COVID policies has damaged military readiness and poses a serious threat to America’s national security,” the group notes.

The organization adds: “Our military members defend us. They deserve our support to defend them now against medical tyranny by their own Command.”

DHS Creates “Disinformation Governance Board” Resembling Orwell’s “Ministry of Truth”

BY C. MITCHELL SHAW

SEE: https://thenewamerican.com/dhs-creates-disinformation-governance-board-resembling-orwells-ministry-of-truth/;

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

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) chief Alejandro Mayorkas announced to Congress Wednesday that DHS has established a “disinformation governance board” to ensure election security and prevent misinformation from being used ahead of the upcoming midterm elections. The board will use the weight of DHS to fight “misinformation” but promises to protect “free speech, privacy, and civil rights.”

The announcement came as Mayorkas was answering questions from lawmakers. Invoking the bogeyman of previous “Russian interference” in the 2020 elections, Representative Jim Langevin (D-R.I.) asked the DHS chief what the department was doing to prevent misinformation from skewing the 2022 midterms. Mayorkas said, “We have just established a disinformation governance board in the Department of Homeland Security to more effectively combat this threat, not only to election security but to our homeland security.” He added that the board will also work to stop the spread of misinformation in “minority communities.”

The board will be under the executive direction of Nina Jankowicz — a “Russian disinformation” expert who served as a Disinformation Fellow at the Woodrow Wilson Center for International Scholars in Washington, D.C. It is noteworthy that Jankowicz ticks off several of the Left’s important boxes.

She is not only a woman, but she appears to be a woman who hates men. She is the author of How to Be A Woman Online: Surviving Abuse and Harassment, and How to Fight Back. If the title alone is not enough, she recently tweeted this excerpt:

Men “burst violently into your mentions and your life like the Kool-aid man, demanding your attention, hawking opinions that they believe are unarguably, manifestly correct and indispensable.”

She also blindly regurgitated the now-debunked idea that the “laptop from Hell” — with data showing Biden connections to Ukrainian corruption and a “pay for play” scheme featuring then-Vice President Biden — was (say it with me) “Russian Disinformation.”

During the final presidential debate between Trump and Biden, she tweeted:

Back on the “laptop from hell,” apparently- Biden notes 50 former natsec officials and 5 former CIA heads that believe the laptop is a Russian influence op.

Trump says “Russia, Russia, Russia.”

Now that she has been elevated to her new position as “Arbiter of All Truth,” Jankowicz is feeding that tweet through the spin machine on a double-rinse cycle. Immediately after her appointment was announced, she tweeted:

For those who believe this tweet is a key to all my views, it is simply a direct quote from both candidates during the final presidential debate. If you look at my timeline, you will see I was livetweeting that evening.

And while she can point to the fact that she was “live-tweeting” during the debate, that point does nothing to change the fact that the “laptop from Hell” tweet was a tacit endorsement of Biden’s claim. As evidence of that, the next morning — after time to reflect and not while “live-tweeting” — Jankowicz tweeted her analysis of the “election security section of the debate,” writing:

To be fair, in retrospect, what Jankowicz tweeted is true — she just had the roles reversed. And lest there be any confusion on that point, her time spent “live-tweeting” the night before was spent spewing snarky comments about almost anything Trump said and gushing about almost anything Biden said.

Also, her “live-tweeting” excuse falls apart as soon as one realizes that she sent a total of six tweets during the debate, so it is not as if she were transcribing the debate for people who have access to the Internet but for some inexplicable reason, couldn’t watch the debate for themselves.

Jankowicz is also an enemy of free speech, which should go a long way in a job where she will have the authority to silence those with whom she finds fault. On April 25 — while waiting in the wings for the announcement of her appointment as Arbiter of All Truth — she tweeted about “free speech absolutists” making her “shudder,” writing:

And by couching her disdain for free speech in terms of support for women and other “marginalized communities,” Jankowicz muddies the water of logic and reason while ticking off another box beloved by the Left. She is a rabid pro-fill-in-the-blank-of-victimhood, bleeding-heart liberal.

Aside from being a woman who appears to hate men, someone who regurgitates Party Line lies, an enemy of free speech, and a bleeding-heart liberal, Jankowicz also goes wherever the political wind blows her. In September of 2017, she wrote an almost coherent op/ed piece for the New York Times under the headline, “The Only Way to Defend Against Russia’s Information War.”

Before reading on, remind yourself that this topic is her area of “expertise.”

Spewing affirmations of Russian interference in the presidential election (after all, how else to explain the election of Donald Trump?), Jankowicz laments the sad state of people falling for “Russian disinformation,” writing:

On Sept. 14, Molly McKew, a writer and consultant who describes herself as an “information warfare expert,” testified before Congress that these “media outlets” and others “deep within the shadow space” have infected America. In response, Ms. McKew would have us “develop a rapid response capability for irregular information warfare” to “secure our information space.” She also recommended more regulation for social media.

And:

What no one seems to care to discuss is the people who are targets of Russian disinformation, why its narratives find fertile ground among them and what can be done to change that.

According to the Pew Research Center, only 20 percent of Americans trust their government. The same low percentage has “a lot” of trust in the national news media. It’s impossible to say definitively what causes this mistrust, but its growth has coincided with the rise of both the adrenaline-driven internet news cycle and the dying of local journalism over the past two decades. Without news that connects people to their town councils or county fair, or stories that analyze how federal policies affect local businesses, people are left with news about big banks in New York and dirty politics in Washington.

Readers compare this coverage with their dwindling bank balances and crumbling infrastructure and feel disconnected and disenfranchised, and latch onto something — anything — that speaks to them. That might be President Trump’s tweets. Or dubious “news” from an extreme right- or left-wing site might ring true. Or they might turn to Russian disinformation, which exploits this trust gap.

Jankowicz blames the spread of “Russian disinformation” (which has been shown to be nearly nonexistent, by the way) on “the rise of both the adrenaline-driven internet news cycle and the dying of local journalism over the past two decades” as if a lack of reporting on “news that connects people to their town councils or county fair” leave people vulnerable to a conspiracy between Trump and Putin to skew the election.

Wow.

But as bad as all that is (and it is bad), her solution in 2017 is simply amazing, mind-numbingly worse:

The fight starts in people’s minds, and the molding of them. In K-12 curriculums, states should encourage a widespread refocusing on critical reading and analysis skills for the digital age. Introductory seminars at universities should include a crash course in sourcing and emotional manipulation in the media. Similar courses could be created as professional development for adults, beginning with state employees. Large corporations could be offered government incentives to participate, too.

She cites a program by IREX, a nongovernmental organization operating in Ukraine (which at the time was just breaking free from Biden’s financial manipulation) and a similar program in Finland as evidence that what Americans lack is basic critical thinking and reading comprehension skills.

And while that may be true, her solution is insane:

The American government should also work to level the information playing field, increasing its investment in public broadcasters and demanding a hefty financial commitment from companies like Facebook and Twitter — the unwitting agents of Russia’s information war — to support the proliferation of local, citizen-focused journalism. If social networks are unwilling to be the arbiters of truth (despite 45 percent of American adults’ getting news from Facebook), they should at the very least provide grants to reporters who cover the local issues that most immediately affect people’s lives and donate advertising to small outlets that cannot compete with national media giants.

And — evidencing the fact that in 2017, Jankowicz could have no idea that in 2022 she would be leading a “disinformation governance board” under the authority of the Department of Homeland Security — she wrote:

All is not lost. Disinformation can be defeated without the establishment of a shiny new initiative cased in the language of Cold War 2.0. Instead of “rapid information operations,” the United States should work to systematically rebuild analytical skills across the American population and invest in the media to ensure that it is driven by truth, not clicks.

So, in 2017, with Trump in the White House, she eschewed “regulation for social media” and other heavy-handed government measures. But that was then, this is now.

Let’s see how long it takes for her to forget her words from 2017 and begin “a shiny new initiative cased in the language of Cold War 2.0” that features “rapid information operations” to quash what she and her fellow arbiters of truth deem false. And remember, that designation will not be based on truth but on partisan political expediency.

Aside from the fact that this “disinformation governance board” sounds eerily like it could be the backstory for the “Ministry of Truth” from Orwell’s 1984, the immediate concern is such a heavy-handed government board — with the weight of DHS behind it — deciding for us what differentiates information from disinformation. After all, the Deep State is unconcerned with what is true; the only concern is finding what can be used to manipulate people and elections.

To put DHS — a department so deeply Deep State that it nearly defines the term — in charge of ensuring election integrity and preventing misinformation from being used to sway elections is a farce of epic proportions. To compare it to putting the fox in charge of the henhouse is an affront to foxes everywhere.

After all, these are the same types of folks (and, in some cases the very folks) who called Hunter Biden’s laptop “Russian disinformation” and who rapidly changed the meaning of “disinformation” as soon as the facts of their Covid mandates came under such scrutiny that they could no longer stand.

Make no mistake, the American Ministry of Truth is being operated by the very people who skewed the 2020 election by blocking — as “disinformation” — real news stories that would have likely cost Biden the election.

How the World Economic Forum Uses Newspeak to Wage War

BY TESSA LENA

SEE: https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2022/04/29/world-economic-forum-newspeak.aspx;

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

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • The use of “newspeak” is a military-grade methodology of “hacking” our instincts and tricking us into acting against our best interests
  • In the natural world, the method of “disguising as a friend” exists strictly as a hunting technique — but today, it is applied by the power holders to the entire population
  • For centuries, invaders and reformers have been using upside-down language to confuse the enemy and recruit loyal supporters
  • Since 2020, we have seen many definitions changed, from medical terms to things like “compassion” and “freedom”
  • World Economic Forum’s Global Shapers Community is a recruitment effort designed to eventually misplace those who want to live in the “old normal”

This story is about a particular genre of lying, namely the genre of covertly changing definitions in order to convince us to accept horrible things and be "happy" about it. The creation of upside-down language, in military terms, is "hacking" of our instincts designed to trick us into acting against our best interests.

This practice is abundantly illustrated by the COVID "biosecurity" propaganda — as well as by the tradition of grooming loyal supporters through the World Economic Forum's "Global Shapers."

Upside-down language is treacherous because in the natural world, the method of "disguising as a friend in order to catch prey" is strictly a hunting technique — but today, the power holders apply it across the board, to the entire population. Which then, if we think about it honestly, makes it clear what kind of relationship we've been having with the Machine.

It is not a relationship of benevolence but a relationship between a hunter and prey! (And perhaps, from the standpoint of existential clarity, the Great Reset showed up in such an ugly way to help us realize that we've been in an abusive relationship with the Machine for a while?)

Upside-Down Language: Funny Examples to Highlight the Absurdity of It

I think we all know this beast very well but to make the absurdity stand out even more, here are two funny metaphors.

Straightforward lying: pointing at a brick and saying, "It's a bird." Or pointing at a defective brick and saying that it's an excellent, high-quality brick that surely works great in construction! (See traditional advertising.)

Upside-down language: secretly changing the definition of "bird" to include bricks, then announcing that there is a new revolutionary technology of building homes from birds — and when somebody says, "But those are clearly bricks," raising one's voice and saying, "No, those are BIRDS. Look it up." The king is not naked, and newspeak is the old speak. Don't you know?!

The Feeling of Disappointment Follows Inevitably

Another exaggerated metaphor: Imagine that someone tells you, "I promise to marry you next year!" And then they go ahead and change the definition of "marriage" to "sending a birthday text." And because they do send you a birthday text, they then say that they have surely kept their promise!

But you somehow, strangely, feel cheated — and so, to curb your complaints, someone then tells you that there is great honor and dignity in the new (and only) definition of marriage because it allows you to say "free" and not "depend" on the other person while being honorably "married"! And those other people telling you that you are not really married are clearly idiots who don't love you.

And perhaps, because your mind wants you to feel dignified, it tricks you into going into denial and pretending you are really married. And this is how you find yourself in the world of upside-down language, as a gaslit victim in denial!

And something still doesn't feel quite right — but you no longer remember what it is and why you feel this way! You forgot the original meaning because remembering it makes you feel like a loser. (For some reason, our evolving relationship with a certain medical product comes to mind).

This certainly is an outrageous and funny example but this is exactly how abusive relationships work. The victim's mind has to constantly accept "updated" definitions of love, care, and truth in order to save one's face. And this is how abusers can get away with a lot — up until the point in time when the pain of the victim becomes so unbearable that forces change.

Examples of "Updated" Definitions From the COVID Era

Since 2020, many important definitions related to health and medical measures have been changed, such as case (here, here, here, here, and here), fatality from a particular disease, vaccine, herd immunity, unvaccinated, anti-vaxxers, available ICU beds, breakthrough cases (which in itself is a change from "vaccine failure") — and many more.

But as importantly, our aspiring "masters" have been constantly "updating" definitions that refer to our fundamental instincts and conditions, such as "health," "compassion," "freedom," and so on. I find it particularly treacherous because it allows any non-benevolent actor to turn our innate qualities into weapons against ourselves!

For example, early on, has been a fascinating series of United Nations "pandemic" images that tell a story of cruel propaganda. Here's how, according to that series, you love your grandma:

And here is the importance of stopping "misinformation":

According to newspeak, "compassion" means not touching your children or your parents. Not socializing. Not visiting your loved one in the hospital. Their version of compassion sounds horribly self-eliminating and sociopathic!

And responsible behavior? According to newspeak, "responsible behavior" means inhaling your exhaust and enthusiastically accepting an experimental medical product with unknown long-term effects. No questions asked. All based on another hijacked definition, the so called "community values," as per by our aspiring "masters" who wouldn't know "community" if it stared them in the face — and who are certainly not morally qualified to lead anyone anywhere.

Historical Examples of Newspeak

It reminds me of how back in my old homeland of Russia before the Soviet Union fell apart, the official marketing brochure said that we were "the freest country in the world."

There was even a very popular radio song about it, called "My country is so spacious" (it really sounds much less awkward in Russian). The song contained a line that went, "I don't know any other country where a man can breathe so freely." Well no wonder, no one knew any other country because barely anyone could travel abroad!

My point here is not picking on isms, as the Soviet Union never had an exclusive patent on newspeak, it just happens to be the newspeak that I grew up on. America has long practiced its own version of newspeak where a resource grab has never been a resource grab but a noble act to establish "progress" or "democracy," with the initial "democracy march" requiring a genocide of "hostile Indians" who outrageously dared defend their land.)

A few years ago, I wrote a story called "Nature, Flags, and Birch Trees: Political Power of Emotions," in which I went into the subject of "newspeak flavors" in detail.

Sadly, history is full of newspeak! Upside-down language has been an important weaponry item for "disrupters" and robbers for thousands of years! But it feels to me as a Soviet ex-pat that today's version of upside-down language is really close to the one from my old homeland, and I don't like it. It didn't lead to anything good in my old homeland, and it is likely to be a disaster again if repeated.

Upside-Down Language and the Global Shapers

With all this in mind, let's look at the military-grade World Economic Forum project called "Global Shapers." Here is how it defines itself:

"Born out of the World Economic Forum, the Global Shapers Community is a network of inspiring young people under the age of 30 working together to address local, regional, and global challenges. With more than 14,000 members, the Global Shapers Community spans 456 city-based hubs in 150 countries."

"In 2011, Professor Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, founded the Global Shapers Community to empower young people to play an active role in shaping local, regional and global agendas."

"The Global Shapers Community is a non-profit organization registered in Geneva, Switzerland and housed at the World Economic Forum. The Forum's contribution to the Shapers organization includes significant financial and in-kind contributions for operational support including staff time, technology tools and opportunities to interact and collaborate with its membership network."

Among its partners are Salesforce, Accenture, The Climate Reality Project, and other noble entities. And here is Mr. Schwab himself, doing a sweet talk on how he decided to "give young people a voice":

An "Upgrade" in WEF Language

By the way, it looks like the World Economic Forum is learning to speak more subtly and thus, even more treacherously. There is no more "you'll own nothing and you'll be happy." "Owning nothing" is now the quiet part. In fact, if I were to look at their marketing through the eyes of a post-Soviet kid who wants to be "Western cool," I would see all this as an exciting career opportunity!

(It really is a global military operation, so it has to be innocent-sounding, convincing, and elegant — and by the way, the corporate recruitment of the early post-Soviet times wasn't too much different and probably benefitted the same "stakeholders," in a time-appropriate manner. Just a side thought, based on my memory of the post-Soviet corporate recruitment, that came with "newspeak" of its own.)

The language on the Global Shapers website is really lofty, and really "positive" sounding (except for an occasional slip about "rethinking what it means to be human." Come progress! Come the roads, the internet, and gender equality! Come the bright young cultists leaders shaping the world's future's vision! Hooray! Hooray!

Of course, "framing" is an art, and one can frame anything — including murder — in a positive thing. Burning a woman at stake could be framed as "saving her soul." Destroying indigenous people can be framed as "bringing them culture," etc., etc.

All of it has been done to real, breathing people who merely minded their business — and it's really heartbreaking. I am writing about newspeak today with such passion because newspeak has an ugly history throughout the centuries, and it's time to spit it out.

A Military Operation

This entire thing with Global Shapers is of course like recruiting an army. Aspiring masters cannot do anything by themselves, so they always seek to recruit, indoctrinate, and bribe the most malleable to support their "vision."

The Bolsheviks, for example, put a lot of energy into "raising" a new generation of "communist" leaders and into glorifying those who supported their version of "new normal" most enthusiastically. They invested in creating a psychological gap between the children and the parents.

The Bolshevik elites didn't care about their supporters — who mostly lived in abject poverty unless they were in the upper echelon — but they surely paid them lip service, and gave them "dignity" by allowing them to take the dignity away from some of their fellows …

Similarly, European elites who were seeking to benefit from the riches of the Western hemisphere, not yet colonized at the time, could not do it without "manpower," and so they lured a bunch of impoverished Europeans to travel across the ocean in search of a better life.

And since a better life was sorely needed by a lot of common Europeans at the time, the masters of those days cynically used that fact to recruit the impoverished Europeans as their "manpower" to fight the "hostile Indians."

The early American "branding" was very different from the Bolshevik "branding" but the essence of the conquest was not dissimilar: "You are the good, righteous people. Those guys over there are the evil people. They own stuff that righteously belongs to you. Go take it from them, and we'll let you keep some of it." History is ugly.

And since today's events seem to run on the same emotional fuel of conquest, it seems like that army of young Global Shapers is being recruited mostly as "manpower" to drive away from the people with "old normal" habits. As I said, it's a military operation.

Newspeak, or the "upside-down" language, is the weapon of indoctrination. The adults may remember the original meanings of words, they may feel resentful. But the kids simply imbibe the meanings they are given. This is why the World Economic Forum is investing in grooming youth. Disgusting!

What Now?

We seem to be in a historically important moment. I believe that the predators' existential function is to make sure that we are fully alive and awake. Predators use weaponized language to make us act against our own interests. They create an atmosphere in which self-betrayal sounds tempting — but it's a trick!

Realistically, it is rare for human beings to choose the right thing on the first attempt in the absence of great pressure — so it's unknown what the near future of the world will look like — but no matter whether our road to victory is fast or dragged out, in the end, the victory is ours. On my end, I pray with passion that our road is the kindest one.

Parents Beware: They’re After Your Children

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • Psychological obedience training is being used to control the global population, from cradle to grave. The technocratic elite are after our children, and they’re using a variety of psychological tools to shape and mold them. The more we know about their strategies, the better we can protect ourselves and our children from these predators
  • The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (HR 3684) grants control over what and when you drive to the transportation system. It will control the type of vehicle you can use and when you can drive. It will control the vehicle-to-grid 5G technology and its kill switches (which will be built in). The bill also includes an integrated payment system and a per-mile driving fee
  • The effort to control you starts from birth. Social emotional learning (SEL) is a programming effort that uses the relabeling and changing of words to alter perception of reality and mold children’s beliefs and behaviors
  • Companies are collecting and analyzing your child’s personal data to build their social credit score. In addition to demographics and grades, the data collection also includes behavioral information, such as scientific, financial, cultural and civic literacy, and competencies such as critical thinking skills, problem solving, creativity, communication and collaboration, plus character qualities such as curiosity, initiative, persistence, grit, adaptability, leadership, social and cultural awareness
  • Unless we refuse to comply or participate, our social credit scores and climate scores will soon dictate everything we can and cannot do in life

In the video below, finance expert Catherine Austin Fitts, Polly Tommey and Carolyn Betts interview investigative journalist Corey Lynn, who runs a blog called “Corey’s Digs.” She’s also the author of “Global Landscape on Vaccine ID Passports,” available from her website.1

In this interview, Lynn discusses how psychological obedience training is being used to control the global population from cradle to grave. She reviews programs that mine your personal data and indoctrinate users to become reliant on digital currency, and offers practical advice for those who recognize the dangers and want to break free.

As noted by Tommey, the technocratic elite are after our children, and they’re using a variety of psychological tools to shape and mold them into obedient and clueless serfs. The more we know about their strategies, the better we can protect our children from these predators.

What the Infrastructure Bill Is Actually Funding

Lynn starts off with a potent example of how the U.S. government is using our own money to build the prison walls around us. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (HR 3684) was passed by Congress and signed by President Biden in November 2021.

This $1.2 trillion spending bill includes a number of questionable and outright nefarious allocations. Importantly, this bill grants control over what and when you drive to the transportation system. It will control the type of vehicle you can use and when you can drive, Lynn explains.

It will control the vehicle-to-grid 5G technology and its kill switches (which will be built in). The bill also includes an integrated payment system and a per-mile driving fee. Twenty-seven pilot programs are also listed that will given them even more control over your transportation in the future.

As noted by Lynn, “Our taxpayer dollars are going to build our control grid.” For more information, see her article, “A Clearer Breakdown of What This Infrastructure Bill Is Really Funding.”2

Social Emotional Learning Is Programming

The effort to control you starts from birth. Lynn reviews the use of social emotional learning (SEL), which uses the relabeling and changing of words to alter our perception of reality and mold children’s beliefs and behaviors.

“The Department of Education was created in 1979, and ever since then, they've been building up to Common Core, building in all these Marxist agendas and pulling in critical race theory (CRT),” Lynn says.

“It's a psychological agenda. It's not a single curriculum. This is [about] ideologies and behaviors and thought processes, it's obedience training and conditioning that starts in preschool, and it's embedded throughout the day. So, it's a whole mind control system.

They're creating what the World Economic Forum (WEF) likes to refer to as digital citizens, for the future workforce, and so they're bringing in all this ed-tech and doing massive data mining. We have statewide longitudinal data systems that are tracking behavior ...

In 2016, they started kicking billions of dollars into this ... and then they started pulling in legislation. And while COVID is going on, they say, ‘Well, we really need to step this up, we need to pour more money into this because of the mental health and well being of children.’

And so, they are molding the children, they're building their social scores ... and then they're bringing it into parents. They're saying we need to teach the parents too, so the parents can help train the kids. And they're bringing it into businesses ... This is a major psychological obedience training to lead to AI.

This is an excerpt from ‘Dreaming the Future of Health for the Next 100 Years,’ a 2013 white paper from the Global Health Summit that was funded by the Rockefeller Foundation:3

‘We will interact more with artificial intelligence. The use of robotics [and] bioengineering to augment human functioning is already well underway and will advance. Reengineering of humans into potentially separate and unequal forms through genetic engineering or mixed human robots raises debates on ethics and equality.

A new demography is projected to emerge after 2030 of technologies, robotics, genetic engineering, nanotechnology, producing robots, engineered organisms, nanobots and artificial intelligence that can self replicate. Debates will grow on the implications of an impending reality of human-designed life.’

So, this, this is where this is all heading ... It’s in 110 countries, it's all over the US. It's in most schools, and they're starting in preschool. This is what you're dealing with. So, when you're considering homeschooling, I just want people to understand what they're up against, and what they need to weed out. It's more than just the school board. There are a lot of parts going on here.”

Already, there are several companies that collect and analyze your child’s personal data to build their social credit score. In the beginning, the data collection was fairly generic, such as age, demographics and grades, but now they’ve started to collect behavioral information as well, such as scientific literacy, ICT literacy, financial literacy, cultural and civic literacy.

They also collect data on competencies such as critical thinking skills, problem solving, creativity, communication and collaboration, plus character qualities such as curiosity, initiative, persistence, grit, adaptability, leadership, social and cultural awareness. You can learn more about all of this in Lynn’s nine-part series, the “2030 Psychological Agenda.”4

They’re Teaching Children To Be Nice but Stupid

Another important point made by Austin Fitts is that many of the “improvements” in education have been designed to make children less knowledgeable. For example, Common Core “is designed to make you phenomenally ignorant of math, and very obedient and easy to control,” she says, adding:

“I used to have a dental surgeon who, all he wanted to talk about was how furious he was at the schools. He said his kids had been taught that if they were going to get together and design a bridge, it was more important that they get along than they use the right number for Pi. As long as they got along, it was okay if the bridge fell down.”

Financial apps aimed at children are another form of programming. For example, the FinTech app “Greenlight,” advertised as a debit card for kids and teens, is financed by players such as Wells Fargo, JP Morgan, Chase and Amazon. Lynn explains:

“On the surface, this may look great. Parents can help their children understand investing, how to save money and whatnot. But when you start looking at the investors ... and where this is really going, what they're doing is programming. They say this is created by families, for families, even though there are 29 big investors in this ...

They're saying this is to help for parents to raise financially smart kids. So, what they do is, the [parents] pay them their allowance, or they pay them for chores. It goes through a little MasterCard Greenlight card that then goes into the bank ... and then they can control their spending. So, it's teaching them about getting involved in the banking system digitally.”

Of course, we now know that the globalist elite are planning to roll out a programmable central bank digital currency (CBDC), with which they’ll be able to control how, where and when you spend your own money. So, “Greenlight” is basically teaching children to see this system as completely normal. As noted by Austin Fitts, “They're getting groomed to plug into a system which will be centrally controlled.”

How to Break the Indoctrination Schedule

Parents who are waking up to the nightmare planned for their children by the WEF and its allies are now starting to fight back. Here are a few key things parents need to do to protect their young children from the indoctrination currently trying to swallow their children:

  • Homeschool your children. Some parents are starting their own schools, educating five or six children
  • Get your children out in nature as much as possible
  • Eliminate mindless TV watching and cell phone use
  • Be a role model for your children. That means modeling appropriate use of television and technologies such as computers, cell phones and social media

Minimizing your cell phone use, to whatever extent possible, is one thing everyone can do. Lynn says:

“I truly believe that if we ditch [our cell phones], if 50% of the population ditched them, that would put a major crushing to their agenda, on most of what they're rolling out. There’s geofencing on phones. Everywhere you go, you're being tracked ... You don't even have to be on the phone. It could just be in your pocket, it can be in your car.

They're constantly aggregating data from us so they can then use it against us, and ... they have the ability to target us on an individual basis. They track everything we do on the internet as well. When I go on walks with my dog, I don't bring my phone with me ... Anywhere I go, I leave the phone at home, or I leave it in the car.”

If we do nothing to change our technology-addicted lifestyles, what will happen to us in 10 years’ time? Where will we be? Austin Fitts is convinced we’ll all be slaves — literally enslaved by the technology that is tracking and analyzing us every moment. Decisions will be made for us by AI, based on our social credit scores.

Children may even be taken from their families at a young age and brought up in facilities where their upbringing and behavior can be controlled. “Parents will have no authority over their children and the children ... their bodies and their minds, will be used to prototype all sorts of transhumanism,” Austin Fitts says.

Understand the End Game and Do Not Comply

There’s really only one way to prevent the transhumanist, centrally controlled authoritarian regime from getting a foothold: Do not comply. We have to say no to all of their schemes. If you do comply, understand that you are erecting your own prison walls, and that of your children, with every data point you let them have.

“It's all under the guise of convenience,” Lynn says. “Going back to cell phones, and technology in general ... People need to start seeing these things for what they are. And instead of looking at it and immediately going, ‘Oh, this is great, oh, this is so convenient, oh, this is going to save me time,’ they need to stop and take a look at who the company is.

Who's behind it? Dig around in their website, see who the leadership is, see who the investors are ... and just understand their ultimate end game. So when they're throwing these things out there, with all their fluff and pizzazz, you don't take the bait. They're trapping you into more and more control over you.”

The Planned Takeover of Your Bank Account

Also, consider using cash as much as possible, and move your money out of the big banks, as they too are part of the control system. Lynn explains:

“I got out of mine about a year ago, and I wasn't even in one of the biggest, worst ones. But I started noticing that they were categorizing my spending. I'm like, ‘What is this?’ All of a sudden, it's showing my grocery shopping and restaurant and health care?

I tell people go into your bank right now, look at the categorizing that's happening. They're already getting the infrastructure set up to control spending by categorizing it all. It's not for your convenience, so you can better budget and see how you're spending your money.”

For more information about this, see Lynn’s article, “Financial Takeover and Your Bank Account — BlackRock, Envestnet/Yodlee, and The Federal Reserve.”5,6 The short video above also summarizes the most important points of that article.

One important point highlighted by Austin Fitts is that banks can store their data on the bank server or the provider server. Austin Fitts says, “You want to call them and make sure the bank is keeping the data on their server, because you did not give permission for all of that data to be shared with the provider.” Having the data stored on the bank server helps protect against this malicious data harvesting.

In closing, I urge you to listen to the featured interview, as I’ve only summarized some of the key points here. In it, they review and discuss several signs, things that are happening now, that clearly illustrate where we’re headed.

DAVID WOOD: Without Lies, Islam . . .~Ramadan: A Time to Celebrate Murder, Bloodshed, and Slavery

Ramadan: A Time to Celebrate Murder, Bloodshed, and Slavery

The Islamic holy month has more to offer than fasting.

BY RAYMOND IBRAHIM

SEE: https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/2022/04/ramadan-time-celebrate-murder-bloodshed-and-raymond-ibrahim/;

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

Raymond Ibrahim is a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

During the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, Muslims fast, pray, engage in acts of piety and charity, and reminisce over warfare and bloodshed in the name of Islam.

Virtually every Ramadan features various Islamic authorities, personages, and/or institutes reminding Muslims to take pride in and celebrate various historic battles between Muslims and non-Muslims, or “infidels” (as in this hour-long televised special). Among other things, such victories are meant to demonstrate the power, and thus truth, of Islam.

This alone should underscore Islam’s innate militancy in comparison to other religions. It further suggests that Islam is a worldly religion, one that takes pride and finds validation in something as corporeal and temporal as a victory in warfare (with all the attendant collection of booty and slaves that entails).

By way of analogy, and to better appreciate Ramadan-time celebrations of jihad, imagine Christians gathered together in church during Christmas or Easter.  Then, the officiating pastor eulogizes the bloody military conquests Christians had over non-Christians during Christmas or Easter—even as the congregants cheer or at least feel deep pride in their Christian faith.

Not only is such a scenario exceedingly difficult to imagine—a reflection of how utterly different Christianity and Islam are from one another—but many of today’s Christians have become so anti-war as to characterize even self-defense as “un-Christian.”  That, at least, is what the head of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis, seems to think: recently, while condemning war, he went so far as also to condemn Just War, the idea that war is legitimate when waged for just reasons (self-defense, liberating conquered peoples or territory, etc.)

Hence the double irony: most of the wars that took place on, and which Muslims celebrate every, Ramadan had nothing to do with just war, and were in fact aggressive and imperialistic in nature.

An article by the popular website AboutIslam.net makes all this clear.  Titled, “7 Remarkable Islamic Victories That Took Place in Ramadan,” it opens by saying, “Ramadan is a special month that’s full of blessings for the Muslim Ummah. It is not only famous for fasting and charity, but also for great Islamic victories that changed the world.”

Examining the list, however, there is no question that at least five of the seven military episodes it mentions—the battle of Badr and the conquests of Mecca, Spain, Crimea, and Nubia—were unjust, meaning they had nothing to do with Muslims engaging in self-defense or liberating their conquered territories and everything to do with Muslims waging unprovoked wars of conquest in search of plunder.

For example, although much extolled in Islamic historiography for being Islam’s first major victory over infidels, when stripped of its hagiographical veneer, the battle of Badr (624 AD) appears to have been little more than a caravan raid, driven by the lust for booty.

Similarly, Muslims were the aggressors in the various conquests highlighted by AboutIslam.net for taking place during Ramadan.  During these conquests, Muslims invaded non-Muslim territories, butchered and enslaved their inhabitants, and appropriated their lands—and for no other reason, and under no other logic, than that they were “infidels,” non-Muslims.

The eighth-century invasion and subsequent conquest of Spain, for instance, featured hordes of invading Muslims slaughtering countless thousands of Christians and torching their churches (in one notable incident in Cordoba, the Muslims managed to kill two birds with one stone when they torched a church with its inhabitants trapped inside).

Same with the Crimea.  Originally inhabited by Slavic peoples, Muslims—Turks and Tatars—brutally conquered it in the fifteenth century and turned it into an emporium of white flesh.  An estimated three million Slavs—Poles, Lithuanians, Russians, and Ukrainians—were enslaved and, according to a contemporary chronicle, sold “like sheep” between 1450 and 1783.

This is what Muslims are supposed to remember and celebrate during their holy month—during their equivalent of a “Christmas” or “Easter” season: the unprovoked invasions and bloody subjugations their ancestors undertook in the name of Islam against people whose only “crime” was to be non-Muslims.  (Little wonder that, so riled, Muslims not infrequently murderously assault infidels in their midst during Ramadan.)

Incidentally, taking pride in Islamic violence is not limited to “radical” sheiks or websites; it is quite mainstream.  Thus, not only is the popular English language website, AboutIslam.net, considered “moderate” and meant to put a good face on Islam before infidels; but the aforementioned article celebrating seven battles/conquests during Ramadan was published by the website’s “Family & Life” team.

Before closing, and lest Muslims truly believe that Ramadan is exclusively a month of victorious jihads, let it be noted that Muslims also lost a fair bit of military engagements during their holy month—the pivotal Battle of Tours (732), when outnumbered Franks halted Islam’s advance into Europe, being just one of the more memorable.
