To Kill Antitrust Lawsuit, Google Wanted to Buy Plaintiff

Freedomist Editor August 9, 2021

PGC – File this under, would you look at the proverbials on that guy, as Google decides, well, almost decided, to en an antitrust lawsuit against a plaintiff, Epic Games, by buying them out.

Epic Games filed documents that showed Google was contemplating buying out Epic Games for fear of its potential successful efforts to get around Google’s 30 percent commission charge. They knew if they closed the loophole, they were vulnerable to an antitrust lawsuit.

To prove that they are not a monopoly using monopolistic market advantage to coercively manipulate the market to control competition, Google almost decided to buy out Epic Games, in a move to expend its monopolistic market advantage AND silence competition at the same time.

Fortunately for all of humanity, the deal never went through.

Google considered silencing Epic’s antitrust complaints… by buying them

Excerpt:

While its ongoing feud with Apple is rather well documented, Epic Games is also in the middle of an antitrust complaint against Google over the removal of Fortnite from the Play Store. According to newly released court documents, Google at some point considered simply buying out the company in order to quash legal action.

In the documents, Epic claims that Google was afraid of Epic’s moves to dodge the 30% commission charged on payments through Google Play and offer Fortnite (and its very lucrative associated microtransactions) directly, quoting an internal document describing Epic’s plans as a “contagion” that could spread to other developers and platforms. In Epic’s own words:

Google has gone so far as to share its monopoly profits with business partners to secure their agreement to fence out competition, has developed a series of internal projects to address the “contagion” it perceived from efforts by Epic and others to offer consumers and developers competitive alternatives, and has even contemplated buying some or all of Epic to squelch this threat.

Neanderthal Arts Beats Ours by 20,000 Years

Freedomist Editor August 9, 2021

PGC – More evidence is emerging in the caves of Spain that Neanderthals were far more sophisticated than previous imagined. It has taken the species a long time to recover from its early stigmatization as being a brute caveman, a less intelligent and more face-boned version of we homo hom sapiens.

Now, we have evidence that Neanderthals may have engaged in creative arts maybe as much as 20,000 years before we homo homo sapiens did.

In the Caves of Ardales, which is located near Malaga, a southern Spanish City, researchers found red ochre pigment on stalagties within the caves that appear to be intentional in their patterning, suggesting these are the earliest evidence we have for any humanoid species creating something we can today call art.

As one who is in the upper 1 percent of the population in terms of the amount of Neanderthal DNA I possess, this fills me with pride as a fellow neanderthaller that our people are finally beginning to be recognized as the great people they were, and, through us, still are.

So that last sentence might have been a bit hyperbolic for theatrical reasons. Please don’t start any groups. But DO start thinking of the neanderthal maybe a little but less cavemaney that you did before (even though, yes, the findings are LITERALLY in caves).

Prehistoric cave paintings in Spain show Neanderthals were artists

Excerpt:

Neanderthals may have been closer to our species of prehistoric modern human than previously believed after cave paintings found in Spain proved they had a fondness for creating art, one of the authors of a new scientific report said on Sunday.

Red ochre pigment discovered on stalagmites in the Caves of Ardales, near Malaga in southern Spain, were created by Neanderthals about 65,000 years ago, making them possibly the first artists on earth, according to the study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) journal.

Modern humans were not inhabiting the world at the time the cave images were made.

The new findings add to increasing evidence that Neanderthals, whose lineage became extinct about 40,000 years ago, were not the unsophisticated relatives of Homo sapiens they been long been portrayed as.

Program Called Woke Kindergarten Sells Safety Through Monitoring Of Others

Freedomist Editor August 9, 2021

PGC – A Fairfax County Virginia School chose to feature children’s literature created by an organization called “Woke Kindergarten” called “Safe. By Ki.”

The video outlined all the things that made Ki safe, one of them was not having cops around. The video also implied everyone should work on making everyone else feel safe in pretty much every part of their lives.

The focus of most articles, such as the redstate article we reference to and link below, is on the book presentation characterizing a world without cops around as being unsafe. What disturbs me more is that the presentation has such a heavy emphasis on safety, and such an emphasis on stressing the moral imperative that everyone do their part to ensure everyone is always safe.

It’s difficult on its face to criticize a program teaching kids they should expect to feel safe when, to the majority of degrees, we kind of want our kids to have some level of feeling they are and should always feel safe. I would not, however, wish to teach my child is my moral imperative to assure everyone else is doing a good job making sure everyone else is safe. As you get older, safety goes far beyond what a chid could even imagine, and affects almost every potential type of human exchange on can imagine.

In the name of safety, we can keep certain books banned. In the name of safety, we can declare certain types of thinking a reflection on a reprobate cancer that must be destroyed.

In the name of safety, we can form committees that can declare in secret whose fit for the party and who might be a traito.

In the name of safety we Americans bombed the Middle East to Hell and back again and back to Hell again a few times over.

Any group promising safety whille demanding the safety monitors work to turn in those who don’t work for the safety of everyone (those classified as being human, a classification that will continue to get smaller and smaller as power concentrates) is headed to an authoritarian end. Never let them into the public schools for they hope to destroy the very republic these schools were allegedly created to preserve by transmitting the unity values of a diverse republic bounded by the Bill of Rights and the US Constitution.

The Fairfax County school’s “Mentor Texts for Writing” was partly comprised of two links courtesy of the organization “Woke Kindergarten.”

One link activated a YouTube video, “Safe. By Ki.”

The video explains, “We all deserve to feel safe.”

Safe where? Ki lays it out:

in our homes

in our schools

outside

everywhere

Plus:

in our bodies

Ki goes on to name ways in which she feels safe:

I feel safe when I’m with my dogs.

I feel safe when I’m with my friends.

I feel safe when people listen to my feelings.

And:

I feel safe when there are no police around.

Illinois Teacher Sues School District Over Anti-Whiteness Lessons

Freedomist Editor August 9, 2021

PGC – As I have said in other articles covering CRT, there are aspects to CRT I myself am aligned with, but, at its core, CRT has a built-in assumption that ‘whiteness’ is a genetic culturality that is creating the evils of the world. No matter how you slice it, no matter the historical ‘evidence’ you might use to condemn a whole group of humans for merely being a certain genetic ethnicity, what you are proposing is flat out against egainst law and our existing constitution.

Watching public school teachers who choose to comply with the worst parts of CRT, the parts that condemn whole races of people for being born alone, has been disheartening to myself and probably many others, but some choose to stand up, some choose to resist, and, apparently, this woman, Stacey Deemer is one of those teachers.

The teacher is suing the Illinion School District claiming that teaching children that human beings who are born of a certain race are inherently racist is against the school district’s own equity policies, let alone against state and federal laws as well, in addition to being unconstitutional.

Alibaba Gets #Metoo OP by CCP in Bid to Clips Wings of Corps

Freedomist Editor August 9, 2021

The Chinese Communist Party is once again showing up the DNC in efficiency after having launched a two-strike assault on the mega-corp in their midst, Alibaba.

Having observed the growing nation-state-sovereignty-challenging powers of megacorps of other lands, such as America and Europe, the CCP is now moving to hem in the growing corpostate-like powers of its own international gians, with Alibaba being tops on that list.

First they attacked them for legal violations, now, the party appears ready to allow the abuse the party long countenanced and protected to come to the surface, as Alibaba leaders are #metoo’d (can’t says that many of them don’t deserve it) out of the company in a bid that is most likely about getting out the non-party non-zealots and replacing them with CCP-approved leaders.

HRC President Might Be Cuomo Sex Offense Enabler

It seems the most righteous among is sometimes, not always, but maybe more often than not, the most unrighteous behind the mask they wear. One such person might be the President of the Human Rights Campaign, perhaps the most powerful and wealthy of the social justice lgbtq activist groups.

The President, Alphonso Davis, is alleged to have helped Governor Andrew Cuomo of NY get information on women who accused the Governor of being sexually inappropriate, if not assaultive. That information was then allegedly used to try to destroy the character and credibility of these women.
