Among the many threats to human life and dignity, the Vatican is making sure that the widening use of lethal autonomous weapons systems worldwide is not reduced to a natural progression of technology that people learn to accept and live with.
Vatican officials have joined Pope Francis in repeatedly expressing trepidation over such weapons, known as LAWS, saying their use poses a serious threat to innocent civilians.
The most recent caution against so-called “killer robots” came from the Vatican Permanent Observer Mission to the U.N. agencies in Geneva in early August during a meeting of the 2021 Group of Government Experts on Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems of the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons.
In the first of three daily statements to the group, the Vatican said Aug. 3 that a potential challenge was “the use of swarms of ‘kamikaze’ mini drones” and other advanced weaponry that utilize artificial intelligence in its targeting and attack modes. LAWS, the Vatican said,…
Onlyfans came rouring onto the scene the last couple of years with Bella Thorne igniting the fire when she made over $1 million in less than 24 hours on the app by offering nudes of herself to paying fans, called paypiggies in the industry vernacular.
Not to be outdone, the Cash Me Ouside Girl also made a million dollars offering nudes to paypiggies. Before that, and after that on a much larger scale, if you are a woman and reasonably attractive (or imagine that you are), dreams of OnlyFans gold was sure to enter your mind. At least it seemed that way.
The app set off a whole new cottage industry that threatened conventional sources of sex stuff like pornhub and others. It created an outlet for people (mostly women, though not exclusively) to exploit themselves rather than being exploited by others. Now, a woman could offer her nude services to a discrete clientel online and get ALL of the profit (well, sans the bit the app itself claimed) instead of only a small payment that allowed the producers to make far more money from her nude and sex services than ever she could.
The banks have declared that having a small monpopoly on the financial markets is hardly a danger to people at all, as of course they will use their considerably state-protected monopolistic advantage fairly and equally to all who simply obey the law. That, my friends, was a lie, and one that OnlyFans is exposing, though it’s not the first such proof that banks have decided to use their considerable state-protected financial industry monopoly to punish people who behave immorally according to their particular unaccountable standards of morality.
So the banks have decided that women, and even men, yes, men too, having the capacity to sexually exploit themselves and getting almost all the profit from that exploitation is just outside of their allowable moral standards. So they shook down OnlyFans and gave them an offer they couldn’t refuse. If they didn’t evnd the nude sex stuff, their ability to exist as a company would be over, as the cabal of banking would freeze them out of being able to process payments.
This is not at all a moral defense of sexually exploiting yourself for money, but it is a defense of a pluralistic society having the capacity to act on their preferences without being coercively manipulated by monopolistic corporations. First they came for the self-sex-exploiters, then they came for me, if you get my drift (though they came for a WHOLE LOT of people before they ever got around to shutting down the self-sex-exploiters).
After OnlyFans received the offer they could not refuse, they announced that the nude sex stuff’s gots ta go. As could be predicted, what followed next was nothing but outrage and scorn at OnlyFans, a company that now totters on the edge of existence itself, having ridden the great wave of viral for the past year. The CEO of OnlyFans quickly came out and spilled the beans on the offer that could not be written, the offer that came from the cabal of banks that decided this was just not morally acceptable, and their capacity to destroy us economically is all the justification they need to use that state-protected monpolistic advantage to force their morality on the rest of us.
Is it legal for the banks to do this in the alleged land of the Bill of Rights? Possibly so. This is why some have suggested creating a market bill of rights to reign in the out-of-control power of the monopolies that have almost all demonstrated a willingness to use their state-protected monppolistic advantage to deny basic rights that not even the government can deny. Whether the govenrment approves of it or not, this is de facto facsism, where the state uses market power to violate our rights legally because it’s not, at present, illegal for companies to do so.
If we are to be a people ever again, we must have an identity that does not destroy the multiplicities of identities our diverse lands possess. That identity is the Bill of Rights. And if we are to fulfill the promise that such standards offer, it is time to extend these rights to the marketplace as well as the government square, else fascism will continue to reign in this land and the Bill of Rights will continue to die until we all look around and realize this diversity has no unity anymore, and then, well, nations such as that implode or are taken over by stronger nations.
The OnlyFans censorship by our banking institutions should be the final wakeup call for us all, the proverbial canary in the coal mine that just let you know there’s poison in the air, something must be done.
Banks are to blame for OnlyFans’ ban on sexually explicit content, according to the online subscription service’s founder.
The platform, which is popular among sex workers, recently announced new rules coming into effect in October that prohibit “any content containing sexually explicit conduct”, though non-sexual nudity will still be permitted.
Initially the London-based company said the move was being introduced due to pressure from financial partners, leading some to assume payment processors Mastercard and Visa were behind it.
However, chief executive Tim Stokely has revealed it was “unfair” banks who prompted the change over concerns about “reputational risk”.
He named three banks – the UK’s Metro Bank, JPMorgan Chase and Bank of New York Mellon.
“The change in policy, we had no choice — the short answer is banks,” he told the Financial Times.
“We pay over one million creators over 300 million dollars every month, and making sure that these…
Again thanks to the illegal decision by Federal judges to allow the Sandy Hook lawsuit to go forward targeting gun manufacturers for crimes that use their made guns, an anti-American DA from San Fransicso is attempting to use lawsuits to destroy what laws could not, our right to bear arms. The DA in question is suing ghost gun manufacturers, that is, manufacturers that create kits that enable people to make their own ghost guns (guns that are not registered by American big brother).
This is a form of lawfare that the DNC has been using to destroy liberty in our land, destroy political opposition without openly violating our rights (though, in fact, they do, and it’s simply a failure by the courts to see how allowing these lawfare acts to continue DOES assault our freedoms, or maybe it’s more a willing ignorance on their part as they all seem to go to the same parties together, the judges and the politicians and the ceos of corpowoketarianizm).
Chesa Boudin, the anti-American rogue judge in the rogue citiy of San Fransisco is attempting to drive up the cost of gun production to destroy our ability to bear arms. Its a classic fascist move, to use commercial liability as an idirect assault on liberties that the state itself would not get away with violating. If this man were the DA in an American city, he would be removed immediately for violating his oath of office, to defend the Constitution of the United States, not the CCP agenda.
SAN FRANCISCO – San Francisco’s district attorney said Wednesday he is suing three California companies that make and distribute “ghost guns,” the untraceable, build-it-yourself weaponry that accounted for nearly half the firearms recovered in gun killings in the city last year.
District Attorney Chesa Boudin announced the lawsuit at a news conference, alongside advocates of tougher gun laws.
The suit names Blackhawk Manufacturing Group, GS Performance and MDX Corp., three companies that are not based in San Francisco but are responsible for producing a large share of the firearms found in the city and elsewhere in the state, Boudin said.
“Guns are flooding our streets. Enough is enough,” Boudin said. “It is not enough to wait until after someone has been shot and killed by a firearm. We must get to the root of the problem.”
Boudin’s lawsuit comes amid mounting criticism over his response to rising crime rates and a wave of anti-Asian violence in the city, which has…
As corpowoketarianizm continues to extend its reach and its assumptions about what it can or cannot do to employees, customers, citizens in a Bill of Rights limited Democratic Republic, such as America is, the test of their attempt to subvert American standards for more Chinese Communist Party type standards will be challenged in the courts. If the courts fail us, we are left with the realization that the enemy has won and we have no nation to fight for.
Part of this process can be seen in the case of Professo Dan Ravicher, a former teacher at the University of Miami Law School who was let go allegedly to make room for a non-white professor. The complaint charges the school with firing him for being white. Let’s see if we have any remnant of America left in our courts or not.

Ashley Carnahan – University of Southern California Excerpt:
Former University of Miami Law Scool Professor Dan Ravicher has filed an Equal Opportunity Employment Commission complaint against his former employer after it forced him out of his professor job.
The federal complaint alleged a breach of contract, defamation and discrimination against him based on race and gender. It comes after Ravicher and his attorney brought up the same concerns in a June letter to the private Florida university to no avail.
The EEOC filing alleged Miami Law treated the conservative professor differently because he is a white male who supported President Donald Trump. Ravicher has not heard from the EEOC as of August 23, according to a Twitter message to The College Fix. He filed the complaint on July 28.
Former Dean Anthony Varona violated Title VII and the Florida Civil Rights Act, Ravicher alleged. Ravicher paraphrased Varona’s assertion that…
The Afghanis who are trapped behind enemy lines, which is their whole country now (save for one valley), have been told by the Taliban that they are no longer permitted to leave. The Biden administration seems fine with this declaration, and, so far, seems more interested in ‘honoring’ the Taliban than rescuing our allies and even our citizens, commiting to the Taliban created August 31st deadline, not the comittment to make sure all our allies are safely removed from murderers who most assuredly want them dead.
Taliban leaders said Tuesday they will no longer allow Afghans to leave the country and that they expect the U.S. to complete its full military withdrawal from the Kabul airport by Aug. 31.
The declaration from Taliban spokesperson Zabiullah Mujahid at a press conference Tuesday could greatly complicate U.S. evacuation efforts. American military aircraft over the past week have flown out thousands of Afghan translators and others believed to be at risk of reprisal from the Taliban, but the insurgent group — which controls checkpoints outside…
All the King’s horses and all the King’s men couldn’t put humpty Biden back together again, and the polls are bearing that out. With all the herculean support by the DNC machine, its media, its cultural gatekeepers, its agit prop news war rooms, the DNC cannot save this man from his own embarrasing ineptness as more and more Americans are discovering in real time what it’s like to have a zombie President.
As Afghanistan reveals his cowardice and indifference to American and allied life, his polls have now hit 41 percent appproval, the lowest since office, and lower even than what Trump experienced while in office even though the DNC machine did eveything it could to drive the approval down lower. Humpty dumpty had a great fall and is still falling, even as we speak.
President Biden’s approval rating sunk to a new low of 41 percent in the latest poll from USA Today/Suffolk University.
The United States’ Afghanistan withdrawal seems to be one of the the main drivers — only 26 percent of responsdents approve of the execution of the plan (though a majority still support exiting the country) — and he has poor marks on immigration issues and his handling of the economy, as well. The latter came in at a “surprisingly bad” 39 percent. “The only issue keeping him remotely in the game is his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, where he is barely at 50 percent” David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk Political Research Center, told USA Today.
It’s just one poll, of course, and Biden’s approval numbers were significantly better, if still lower than they had been, in a pair of surveys from CBS News and NBC News over the weekend. Still, though, the USA Today/Suffolk poll puts his Real Clear Politics average at just 46 percent, two points under…

Airbnb is planning to start housing 20,000 Afghan refugees around the world free of charge, the company’s CEO, Brian Chesky, said Tuesday.
The refugees will be housed in properties listed on Airbnb’s platform and the stays will be funded by Airbnb, Chesky said on Twitter, without specifying exactly how much the company plans to spend on the commitment or how long refugees will be housed for.
The U.S. said Monday it has evacuated roughly 48,000 people from Afghanistan in recent days, while thousands are still trying to escape, fearing reprisals from the Taliban militants now in power.
The main exit point is Kabul airport, where huge crowds have been gathering in the sweltering heat. The Taliban has set an airlift deadline of Aug. 31 and there are concerns many who want to…
