FAR-LEFT GROUPS ALLOWED TO USE CHILDREN IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO “RALLY” SUPPORT FOR CULT OF DEATH ORG HAMAS – While a young San Fransisco Palestinian girl claims to be one organizer of many leading nationwide demonstrations by school-age kids in government schools in support of the murderous death cult Hamas, evidence shows the movements are being organized by anti-American, antisemitic far-left organizations welcomed in to our public schools by teachers and administrators who hate the republic, jews, and liberty in general.

UN WANTS YOU TO PAY HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN “REPARATIONS” – Robert F. Kennedy Jr. may be gaining support among DNC-CCP resistance, but that might change when they discover he supports a UN-backed scheme of reparations that investigations reveal would cost every “guilty-by-biology” American hundreds of thousands of dollars and only result in creating more animosity between the races in our country.

WORLD (M-F)

VENEZUELA RELEASES OPPOSITION PRISONERS IN EXCHANGE FOR U.S. LIFTING SANCTIONS – The U.S. just made a deal with Venezuela that eases most of the sanctions placed on the Marxist nation (a natural ally to this current administration). In exchange, Maduro has released some opposition candidates from prison and pinky swears he will allow open and transparent elections.

The Democrats might want to advise him to use mass mailer elections as the illusion of openness and transparency can be sustained when you control the means of social and cultural production even if the spirit of transparency and openness in elections cannot. It should also be noted that Venezuela is a Hamas-Iran ally, so that should help the Israelis (that was sarcasm, if you couldn’t tell).

NIGER’S PRESIDENT ATTEMPTS ESCAPE, IS CAPTURED – The Niger Junta is reporting an escape attempt from jailed President Bazoum that was foiled. The attempt happened late Thursday, October 19, 2023. The Junta claims he attempted to reach a getaway vehicle, along with his family, two cooks, and security personnel, which was to take him to the outskirts of the capitol, Niamey, where “two helicopters belonging to a foreign power” would take them to Nigeria.

U.S. POLITICS (M-F)

LETITIA JAMES GOES ON FISHING EXPEDITION OF TRUMP’S EMAILS – DNC-CCP lawfare assassin and Soros-funded NY Attorney General Letitia James has found the flimsiest of excuses to request access to Donald J Trump’s emails in an effort to find more dirt on the opposition to her DNC-CCP masters. Her excuse is convoluted, but, in simple terms, she claims a witness, Allen Weisselberg, lied to the court and they need to figure out how he lied to hold him in contempt and expose the lie. In actuality, she’s just looking to get more evidence to jail Trump as her case is dubious at best.

DNC-CCP HAS A $27 BILLION WAR CHEST, AND YOU ARE PAYING FOR IT – Republican leaders of the House Energy and Commerce Committee are sounding the alarm on $27 billion slush fund ostensibly for “Green Energy” that appears to be nothing more than a way for the DNC-CCP’s Mass Mailer President Joe Biden Committee, also known as Joe Biden, to use your tax dollars to fund their DNC-CCP-supporting special interest groups, organizations, and businesses in their effort to destroy the American republic and replace it with a progmerican Democracy (which is no America at all).

The fund also appears to help their CCP ally, China, garnering millions of dollars’ worth of contracts by supplying “America” with solar panels.

EDITOR’S CHOICE (T-F)

NO, LEFTISTS, IT’S NOT RED STATES, IT’S BLUE COUNTIES WHERE MURDER REIGNS – The Heritage Foundation is exposing DNC-CCP talking points off a manipulated study that alleges “red states” have higher murder rates than blue states, but the statistics that really matter are county-wide, and those statistics show the blue counties, those controlled by the anti-Americanists, dwarf the red counties (those controlled by Americans) by significant margins.

ESG IS A SYNDICALISM FOR THE DNC-CCP, AND YOU’RE PAYING FOR IT – ESG schemes are being used by giant mutual fund managers as de facto syndicates, or trade unions, or fascist-styled corporations, to force businesses to submit to the anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-human ideology the dark art of ESG represents, and they’re using red state pensions to fund it.

SCI-TECH (T-F)

COMPANY CLAIMS TO HAVE MADE CHIP MANUFACTURING ACCESSIBLE TO ALL – Zero ASIC is claiming their zero-code, “LEGO-like” ASIC Design Platform will significantly reduce the cost of designing and manufacturing computer chips, “democratizing” them, or, making the manufacturing of high-end computer chips accessible to small-scale associations who would now, theoretically, be able to compete against multi-billion-dollar institutions at a fraction of the current cost.

THIS METAL 3D PRINTER CAN MAKE SPARE PARTS FOR RACING CARS – An Abu Dhabi company is claiming to have made a metal 3D printer that is capable of printing race engine spare parts that can withstand the high-intense demands of high-speed racing, including pistons. The breakthrough would launch metal 3D printing into the commercial space not available to it now as 3D-printed metal parts don’t quite stand up to the stresses that machine-manufactured parts do. This writer also believes the revolution could also usher in 3D gun printers that could produce guns as reliable as those being traditionally produced today.

Of Issachar, men who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, 200 chiefs, and all their kinsmen under their command. – 1 Chronicles 12:32

‘“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. If I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, in order to save his life, that wicked person shall die for his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. But if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, or from his wicked way, he shall die for his iniquity, but you will have delivered your soul. ‘ Ezekiel 3:17-19

Human-Trained AI Emotion-Driven Marketers Are Coming Your Way. Is Your Mind at Risk?

Paul Collier October 20, 2023

Actors not in the top tier of acting are finding life difficult economically as the SAF-AFTRA strike continues into its 5th month. Some have found work with Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, “training” AI through acting. While the actors have signed contracts that state their likenesses cannot be used for future endeavors, the language is written in such a way that perhaps, maybe, Meta has plenty of legal loopholes to betray that simple promise.

The actors were paid to participate in a study called the “emotion study,” which ran from Jul through September of this year. The study offered actors $150 per hour to “emote” for AI machines to analyze in the hope that AI can then be used to artificially “emote” in seamless ways to humans.

The irony of the work is not lost on the actors, who recognize they’re helping to train machines that might one day replace them, even if Meta “promises” not to use their image in any commercial way in the future.

Even though the actors are “acting,” the project claims it’s not “struck work” because Meta is not one of the employers the guild is striking against. As Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, SAG-AFTRA’s chief negotiator claims, “This isn’t a contract battle between a union and a company, It’s existential.”

Max Kalehoff, the VP of growth and marketing for the company running the study for Meta, said “The vast majority of our work is in evaluating the effectiveness of advertising for clients—which has nothing to do with actors and the entertainment industry except to gauge audience reaction.”

From technology review:

In addition to the job posting, MIT Technology Review has obtained and reviewed a copy of the data license agreement, and its potential implications are indeed vast. To put it bluntly: whether the actors who participated knew it or not, for as little as $300, they appear to have authorized Realeyes, Meta, and other parties of the two companies’ choosing to access and use not just their faces but also their expressions, and anything derived from them, almost however and whenever they want—as long as they do not reproduce any individual likenesses.

Some actors, like Jessica, who asked to be identified by just her first name, felt there was something “exploitative” about the project—both in the financial incentives for out-of-work actors and in the fight over AI and the use of an actor’s image.

Jessica, a New York–based background actor, says she has seen a growing number of listings for AI jobs over the past few years. “There aren’t really clear rules right now,” she says, “so I don’t know. Maybe … their intention [is] to get these images before the union signs a contract and sets them.”

While this writer does not support government laws prohibiting the use of Ai trained by humans to better manipulate humans to buy stuff they might not actually want or need, companies that choose to use this technology should be considered unethical, untrustworthy, not worth investing in or doing business with. Of course, being a realist, this writer realizes the ability to cut ourselves off from the companies that are already using these types of services is not very realistic, and won’t be until we self-steward minded people build our own institutions, institutions that would not deign to use such unethical practices to manipulate the masses for the sake of profit.

Political factions are sure to follow, if they aren’t already, which makes it all the more urgent for you, and me, to be self-stewarded people who steward our preferences and beliefs to guard our minds against such crafty manipulations.

Has Science Found the Image of God in Man?

Paul Collier October 20, 2023

‘Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” ‘ Genesis 1:26-28

In the 1990s, Nobel-Prize winning physicist Dr. Roger Penrose, along with anesthesiologist, Dr. Stuart Hameroff, developed a theory about the “physical” state of consciousness called “Orchestrated Objective Reduction Theory (Orch OR). The theory was that consciousness exists as a quantum process thanks to microtubes.

The theory was “debunked” by the belief that quantum states can only be sustained by cold conditions, but a new experiment by oncology professor Dr. Jack Tuszynski suggests the brain is neither “too hot or too wet” to sustain the quantum state needed for consciousness to exist through the microtubes inside the brain’s nerve cells.

Microtubes are essentially protein lattices that form the structural network of the nerve cell. According to Orch OR theory, they possess quantum properties that allow consciousness to be “everywhere all at once,” connected to the whole of the universe. This state creates quantum entanglement, where particles can connect to each other across any length of space.

The problem with the theory, again, is experiments up to this point showed that the quantum state could not be sustained under warm conditions, but that thought has changed with Dr. Tuszynski’s work. His experiment showed that the quantum state was sustained for more than enough time (a fraction of a second) to allow for “consciousness,” quantum entanglement with all of creation, to exist.

From Popular Mechanics:

His team simulated shining a light into a microtubule, sort of like a photon sending an exciton through a plant structure. They were testing whether the energy transfer from light in the microtubule structure could remain coherent as it does in plant cells. The idea was that if the light lasted long enough before being emitted—a fraction of a second was enough—it indicated quantum coherence.

Specifically, Tuszynski’s team simulated sending tryptophan fluorescence, or ultraviolet light photons that are not visible to the human eythe, into microtubules. In a recent interview, Tuszynski reports that, across 22 independent experiments, the excitations from the tryptophan created quantum reactions that lasted up to five nanoseconds. This is thousands of times longer than coherence would be expected to last in a microtubule. It’s also more than long enough to perform the biological functions required. “So we are actually confident that this process is longer lasting in tubulin than … in chlorophyll,” he says. The team published their findings in the journal ACS Central Science earlier this year.

The experiment does not, in and of itself, prove the Orch OR theory, but it removes the knock-down argument against it, that the brain isn’t cold enough to sustain the quantum states needed to create “consciousness.”

The article in Popular Mechanics introduces Dr. Timothy Parker, who takes the Orch OR theory to the multiverse, claiming that consciousness is the fruit of the quantum awareness of multiple universes reflected the infinite “chances” of creation. His work is even more speculative and, perhaps, untestable, than the theory of consciousness in a mono-universal reality is.

For this writer, these theories and experiments are scratching at the mystery that is the image of God, that is, the ability of the human to see as God sees, and seeing is not just seeing in the material sense, but in the moral and ethical sense. We know good and evil as God knows it, or we know good and evil as a rebellion against God’s creation (which we cannot possess if we also don’t know the contrast, God’s knowing of good and evil, we can rebel against).

‘Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?” And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’” But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” ‘ Genesis 3:1-5

This writer doubts the material and even quantum scientist can ever fully define in measurable, finite terms, what consciousness is, what gives us will to act in the first place, but yet science, in this case, can affirm the shadow of the material and quantum reality of God word resting in all of us.

‘For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen. ‘ – Romans 1:20-25

AI is Tracking Your Child’s Online Activity for Public Schools to Monitor

Paul Collier October 20, 2023

Democratic Senators have sent a letter to the U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona expressing concern about the increasing use of AI to monitor students’ online activity by public schools. The Democrats seem to be focused mostly on how it affects their preferred elite class of humans, the LGBTQ and non-whites, but the concerns they bring up should be troubling to any and all Americans whether or not, for now, it disproportionately affects the preferred classes of humans the Democrats most exploit to justify their own acts of oppression in the name meeting the plea of their particular needy.

“As for the scoundrel, his devices are evil. He plans wicked schemes to ruin the poor even when the plea of the needy is right. But he who is noble plans noble things, and on noble things he stands.” – Isaiah 32:7-8

From the letter:

… in the year since the release of the White House Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights (“Blueprint”), students have continued to experience harm through AI-driven technology, particularly in the area of civil rights.1 With the expansion of generative AI tools, student protections related to education technology are more urgent than ever. As you continue to implement the education-related priorities reflected in the Blueprint, we urge the Department to issue further guidance and take appropriate enforcement action concerning the application of civil rights laws to schools’ use of educational technology, including AI-driven technologies.

While the expansion of educational technology helped facilitate remote learning that was critical to students, parents, and teachers during the pandemic, these technologies have also amplified student harms. As recent research from the Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT) highlights, technologies that monitor student activity online, moderate and filter online content, and use predictive analytics raise serious concerns about the application of civil rights laws to schools’ use of these technologies. We are particularly concerned about the application of existing laws that protect students from discriminatory policies and outcomes related to sex, race, disability, and LGBTQ+ status.

As CDT’s research shows, two-thirds of teachers recently reported that a student at their school was disciplined due to AI-powered monitoring software, with disproportionate impacts for marginalized communities. Nineteen percent of LGBTQ+ students, for instance, reported they or someone they know was outed due to this software, and licensed special education teachers are more likely to report knowing students who have gotten in trouble and been contacted by law enforcement due to student activity monitoring.

Additionally, filtering and blocking software has recently been equated to a digital book ban, with one-third of teachers reporting that content associated with LGBTQ+ students and students of color is more likely to be restricted. And sixty percent of teachers report that their schools use algorithmic early warning systems that predict whether a student is dropping out of high school, some of which incorporate protected characteristics such as race, gender, and disability status. This research is particularly concerning due to linkages between school disciplinary policies and incarceration rates of our nation’s youth.

The letter was signed by Democratic congressmembers Lori Trahan, Sara Jacobs, Henry Johnson Jr, Bonnie Watson Coleman, and the paradigm of disinformation and totalitarian ideology, Adam Schiff.

As for the technology being used to check the content allowed in children’s public-school libraries, this writer has no issue with that. These Democrats seem to support child grooming, that is, sexually explicit material in public schools, and if the AI can be used to screen for that, so much the better. But expanding the use of AI to monitor the online activity of students, unless there is a warrant for such action (as in an actual plausible accusation is put forth that would warrant further investigation) this is a basic violation of human rights, and furthermore the actions condition children to accept authoritarianism as a normal course of action for the state, becoming inured to technological authoritarianism.

Where are the Republicans in calling out such a dystopian practice by state agencies (which government public schools are)? This writer supports the notion that children are not afforded the full rights of adults due to their inability to consent to all forms of action, such as sexual action (which these Democrats would most likely dismiss given their histrionics even in this letter in protest of children being given sexually explicit material, which most of the so-called pro-LGBTQ stuff turns out to be).

Yet, children should be afforded some basic rights, including the right to a fair trial, the right to due process, the right to protections against search and seizure without warrant, which this practice overtly violates.

We do not want to create a police state governed by AI, and we don’t want our children to be both guinea pigs of that Chinese Communist party reality nor the gateway through which the state inures not just our children to technological authoritarianism, but the adults as well.

Democrats Move to Protect Walmart from Expensive Credit Card Networks at YOUR Expense

Paul Collier October 19, 2023

Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) is advancing a bill that will allow merchants to use any network they want to complete your credit card transaction with them. This bill will have the net effect of allowing merchants to use much-less secure networks, even foreign networks, to complete their transaction, saving them lots of money but putting you at risk of credit card fraud they themselves won’t be held accountable for.

The bill is called the “Credit Card Competition Act, ” and from a far left perspective, where everything corporate is automatically evil (even if, in current year, our “American” corporations ARE mostly evil, but that’s due to them becoming far left hate machines and not simply product and service providers), they might view this as a good thing, because it gets the big guy, the big credit card companies.

But it’s not that simple. The main beneficiaries of this bill will be the big box companies like Walmat. They’re attacking one mega-corporation to favor another mega-corporation at the cost and security of average working class Americans, the ones that will be hurt most by this Orwellian-named bill.

This bill is about the far left rewarding the big corporations that help fund their anti-American, anti-God, genocidal programs that advocate for criminalizing thought and legalizing murder.

From Breitbart:

Big-box stores are pushing for this bill heavily. The likes of Walmart, Target, and Amazon stand to gain hundreds of millions of dollars if they can cut their processing costs by using cheap overseas networks. Unfortunately, they will do this at your expense. Cheaper networks offer little or no credit card rewards and have not invested in 21st century fraud prevention. But big-box stores know they won’t be on the hook if fraud occurs. Your bank or credit union has guaranteed payment to the retailer, and it’s these financial institutions that will be hurt when fraud skyrockets further.

This will especially hurt small credit unions who don’t have the deeper pockets of multinational corporations. Not only will they have to cover the cost of fraudulent purchases, they will also lose revenue as they see the interchange fees they normal get during purchases plummet. Interchange fees are a critical component of America’s current payment infrastructure. By effectively capping them, Congress would put big retailers’ profits before Americans’ financial security. Big-box stores will profit while credit unions and other banks will have a harder time offering low-cost checking, loans to the community, and more.

Bills like this make me think of a bible verse that HEAVILY applies to the methods the far left uses to take and preserve power: “As for the scoundrel, his devices are evil. He plans wicked schemes to ruin the poor with lying words even when the plea of the needy is right.” – Isaiah 32:7

The far left is constantly pretending they represent the working class while most of their policies do far more harm to the very groups they trick into supporting them (through a promise of “revenge” against those who oppressed them and a Utopian future where suffering is finally ended). Senator Dick Durbin of the fallen state of Illinois (now controlled by a billionaire fascist) is the poster boy for that deceit. He is the scoundrel God warned us about through Isaiah.

“Book Ban” is a Dog Whistle for Nonce Advocacy

Paul Collier October 19, 2023

A Colorado Springs School District Library contains books that “teach” children to find adults to have sex with. Parents want these books removed. Meanwhile, the far left’s “book ban” narrative continues as they pressure Scholastic Books to not remove sexually explicit content targeting kids from their catalogue.

One book that parents wants removed is called “This Book is Gay,” by Juno Dawson. One part of the book has this passage:

“How Sex Apps Work:

Upload a tiny pic of yourself to the app.
The app works out your location.
The app tells you who the nearest homosexuals are.
You then chat to them.
Because you are near, it is easy to meet up with them.”

The book also gives gay men a sales pitch to kids, saying “Gay men have slightly longer and thicker (redacted). Excellent. The amygdala of gay men is more responsive to porn… So, we have bigger (redacted) and are hornier. Jus’ sayin’.”

Dawson also gives kids advice on how to hook up for sex with adults, telling them “to do a sex meet” by “meet(ing) the trick in a public place for a drink first. That way you can assess if you fancy them in the flesh/they are not a twitchy eyes freakazoid before letting them into your house.”

This is just one example of the types of books parents want removed from children’s public school libraries. It is not a ban on that book anymore than criminalizing exposing children to pornography is a ban on pornography. It’s a form of censorship that, if you oppose it you should probably be investigated, and you definitely shouldn’t be around kids.

This is the type of behavior the far left (which is the DNC-CCP at this point, for they are now one and the same) is advocating for every time they carry a headline like one far left publication writes on an almost daily basis.

Scholastic tries to defend caving to book banning after one of its authors blasts the policy – www.dailykos.com

This website, its owners, and the author of this article should all be considered suspects in child sex assault crimes for perpetuating this hateful narrative in the first place, attempting to condition Americans to equate preventing children from being exposed to sexually explicit material that validates pornography with some form of first amendment right. This same website, and all the websites like it, also perpetuate the doctrine of criminalizing “hate speech,” also advocate destroying the economic lives of Americans who dare speak publicly against murdering unborn children.

This publication, and all the far left websites like it, is advocating for child rape every time it pushes the “book ban” narrative.

Hamas Fans Lay Siege to U.S. Capitol; No Criminal Charges Filed

Paul Collier October 19, 2023

Meet the real insurrectionists:

While the Progmericans (which are no Americans at all) continue to ree-ree over the January 6 protests of an illegal Mass Mailer election that they claim was LITERALLY worse than 9/11, they cheer the storming of the U.S. capitol by “Americans” protesting resistance to the genocidal death cult known as Hamas. The “protestors,” (actual insurrectionists) illegally stormed the Capitol Rotunda and ripped down a pro-Israel sign in front of Representative Randy Weber’s (R-TX) office.

The violent anti-American, anti-God, pro-Jewish-genocide insurrectionists were led by the Orwellian-named group “Jewish Voice for peace,” a self-hating Jewish organization that is aligned with Hamas’ goals of wiping the Jews off the face of “Palestine” to “liberate Palestinians.”

While the Capitol Police have arrested the protestors, no charges have yet to be charged against them, and one doubts there ever will be.

From Townhall:

As the demonstration was broken up, authorities announced that “Due to First Amendment activities on Capitol Grounds, all pedestrian entry points to the House Office Buildings [were] restricted to Members and Staff ONLY.”

Outside the House office buildings, a speaker in another group of “ceasefire now” demonstrators lamented the fact that “some people are afraid of our movement” which, again, is advocating for Hamas terrorist interests by calling for a ceasefire to restrict Israel’s ability to take out the Iran-backed terrorists who continue to launch rockets at Israeli civilians.

Rally speaker says, “Some people are afraid of our movement…”

In addition to the protests and demonstrations, some activists apparently defaced the exterior of buildings on Capitol Hill with calls to “Free Palestine.”

Cancelling the Cancellers – Even Hamas Supporters have a Right to be “Wrong”

Paul Collier October 18, 2023

The spate of cancellations of Americans who support Hamas has been unsettling. Calls by CEOs to form blacklists of Americans supporting Hamas to assure they’re not hired by anyone are chilling. This writer has no love, no support for the bloodthirsty death cult that is Hamas. There is nothing redemptive about it. Any injustice the Israelis have done to the Palestinians fails to justify the murderous death cult and its own stated aims, to wipe the Israelis, the Jews off the face of the planet.

It should be noted that probably MOST of the people who support Hamas believe the worst rumors about Israel and none of the horrible truths about Hamas. Their enemy is more likely than not God himself, so any group that threatens what for them is a symbol of Judeo-Christianity (Israel), a value system that kills the leftist cult, they tend to look at through idealized lenses. They wouldn’t support Hamas if they actually believed they wanted to wipe the Jews off the face of “Palestine,” though a small minority probably do.

God will deal with the rebellion against him, not us. We do not burn the chaff.

Seeing “conservatives” and “libertarians” now openly supporting the perpetuation of corporate power to cut people off from making a living for having unsavory views is discouraging and chilling, to say the least.

If we are to be a nation that respects the free speech rights, the free expression rights of our citizens, then we must tolerate the unsavory along with the savory. The very logic being used to cancel Americans is/was being used to cancel conservatives and libertarians for daring to believe unorthodox views (unorthodox as defined by the corporate and state elites).

There are unsubstantiated rumors going around of banks scouring the internet to assure their customers don’t have the audacity to not just support Hamas, but even to see if they dare criticize Israel in any way. And the conservatives are largely in support of these actions, removing the teeth of their argument against such actions being taken against them.

If you don’t support Israel, if you question Israel, the whole elitist world wants you silenced and your ability to make a living for you and your family cancelled.

I support Israel’s right to exist, its right to defend itself, and I hope and pray the nation is able to beat back the killers that want every Jew in the land dead. I find it reprehensible that Americans support Hamas, but they have a RIGHT to do so. If you want to help cement the myth that “freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences,” and consequences are more than just deciding not to listen to someone, not to associate with someone privately, but includes being cancelled from the marketplace, then you have been indoctrinated in another death cult, the one that dominates America today, the leftist death cult.

I grant you that most of these people supporting Hamas are in that leftist death cult, that most of them cheer when an American is cancelled for opposing murdering unborn children, but they have a right to be wrong. The rights violations are coming from those who, with the means to enforce those terrible ideas, decide to do so. The corporate and state leaders that use their power to cancel Americans for rejecting leftism are the ones in violation of our rights, not the rank-and-file leftists whose power disappears when the elites stop indulging them, even propagandizing to them to lead them into more hatred of their fellow Americans.

You are, in the end, helping those same rank-and-file leftists establish their terrible standard of “freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences.” You are every bit the enemy of the American republic as they are.

I don’t stand with the left’s insane hatred of Israel and its delusional support of Hamas, but I stand with their right to do so without fear of having their market lives destroyed, for that precedent we are enabling will be (and has been) most assuredly used aggressively against people like me who dare pronounce the sins of the left, who dare call our President a seditionist who won office through a Mass Mailer election coup.

To the left, my statements are every bit as reprehensible as theirs in support of Hamas are to me. I’d rather not help them establish their culture of fear, hate, and fake hope by supporting what has happened to spiritual Americans (people who value the sacredness of the individual and their right to steward their own preferences and beliefs) also happening to them.

In the end, such actions undermine any resistance to the corpostate’s assault on the freedom of ANYONE to be “wrong” according to the preferred orthodoxy of the most powerful in the land.

I don’t stand with these delusional leftists, but I stand for their right to publicly express their wrong ideas without fear of being removed from society for doing so.
