Woman-Denying, Child Predator-Enabling SCOTUS Confirms Death of Republc?

Child-Predator-Enabling Judge for SCOTUS Gets Bipartisan Confirmation

Paul Collier April 8, 2022 0

The DNC-CCP pick to replace retiring leftist judge Stephen Breyer has been confirmed by the DNC-CCP-controlled Senate with the help of the usual suspects of alleged Republicans doing their best to assure the Republican party is even more anachronistic in name than it already is.  The far left anti-Americanist made her intentions clear when she refused to define what a woman is, putting her in the social man view of the individual, that the individual does not exist, that only the social exists, and therefore it is the job of authority to engineer the right social man by micromanaging the potential moral choices of individuals, whose self only emerges when they submit to the whole (as defined by the proper DNC-CCP approved experts on what the good whole is).

This same woman who refuses to acknowledge the truth of human nature itself, also affirms her far leftist activism in her judicial record, which is filled with abominable rulings that favor pedophiles over humans.  Her constant refusal to apply even recommended minimum sentencing guidelines to pedophiles found guilty in her court highlights the way the Left views children as general, as threats.

Abortion and grooming are the only two actions the Leftist can support regarding children, for their ideology so flies against the basic reality of human nature that to let humans develop their own sense of being would always produce revolutionaries against leftism, the accusatory vehicle of power of Satan himself.

The center of the pedophile world, Hollywood, has come out gushing in support of the appointment of a far left anti-human, anti-American, pro-nonce Judge whose name does not merit repeating anymore than the true name of Satan (which no one knows) bears repeating.  It is enough to know she exists and is being empowered to use her hateful ideology to further destroy what little is left of a republic, as opposed to a violent democracy (where opinion becomes right through violence alone).

As the DNC-CCP nudges this land closer and closer to the Rousseauan model of governance, where the state becomes the supreme authority of morality and belief, the return of the priest-king model of governance with new terms and justifications that yet create the exact same powers Sargon of Akkad possessed some 4,000 plus years ago, their naked vulgarity will become more and perspicacious as their hunger for total power dominance continues to pull them into the self-god-worship spiral of hate such priest-king ideologies always produce.

This woman is just the latest of that vulgarity become naked, and Hollywood’s gushing over a child predator enabler is one of many proofs for which you can justifiably claim, “this proves beyond a shadow of a doubt just how evil and anti-human the Left truly has become (and was the whole time).

Hollywood celebrities rejoiced in unison as the Senate voted 53-47 on Thursday to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the U.S. Supreme Court, marking President Joe Biden’s (D) first appointment to the country’s highest court.

In their unconditional hosannas, the stars ignored the controversies surrounding Judge Jackson, including her history of lenient sentencing in child pornography cases, her support of critical race theory, and her apparent inability to define what a woman is. Some used Thursday’s vote to accuse Republican senators of racism for daring to ask tough questions during the judge’s confirmation hearings.

Celebrities including Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Mark Ruffalo, Viola Davis, Rosanna Arquette, and John Leguizamo gushed their praise of Judge Jackson.

“Glorious day for America, heading toward that ‘more perfect Union,’” Ruffalo tweeted.

“You’re an absolute inspiration,” Louis-Dreyfus crowed.

“Today we celebrate history in the making,”…

Biden’s Covid-19 Propagandist Moves Into New Disney Digs

Biden’s Covid-19 Propagandist Moves Into New Disney Digs

Paul Collier April 7, 2022 0

Biden’s Covid-19 content marketing manager is no longer working for the President, as she has taken a new job with Walt Disney, pushing woketarianism on the masses. As Disney appears all-in on becoming a company of woketarianism, the Covid-19 agit prop wizard, Kristina Shake, now sets her sites on moving from ostensibly attempting to stop a virus to intentionally trying to spread one.
The move showcases just how incestuous the relation is between the DNC-CCP and its corporate ‘allies,’ who are also best frenemies with America’s number one enemy, China. Given the anti-American nature of woketarianism (which denies the individual altogether, let alone individual rights), it seems fitting a member of the most anti-American regime in US history would move so seamlessly from one agit prop war machine aimed at American freedom, Covid lockdown, to another, Disney woketarianism.

Slapping the Mask Off – How American “Leftism” is Destroying Adult Civility

Slapping the Mask Off – How American “Leftism” is Destroying Adult Civility

Paul Collier March 29, 2022 0

Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars, and in so doing he ripped the mask off the American Billionaire Left, exposing the dangerous ideology by revealing through the reactions of “Americans” the division between the adults of America and the Peter Pan adults of the American Left, who clearly have rejected Bill or Rights values for authoritarian, police state values.

But this slap began in 2015, when the Punch a Nazi meme was born, the meme that reinforced the notion that human beings have a right to physically harm and threaten others for their beliefs and words alone.

As Donald J. Trump rose in 2015, many of my former friends started to separate from me either because I hadn’t gone far right or I hadn’t gone far left.  As Trump rose, he emboldened far right elements just through his success alone and his use of certain phrases that seem to come from this same far right.

America First was once genuinely a dog whistle for America for the Whites, though I have no doubt Trump was not intending it as a dog whistle for white supremacism.  Even if he wasn’t, the marketing decisions of the Trump campaign both emboldened the far left and the far right.

As white supremacists marched, Antifa was able to use the fear of the white man to gain recruits, mostly from suburban upper middle class white neighborhoods.  In the course of the great meme wars of 2015, the prevailing brutal expressions of both sides came in the form of dropping Communists from helicopters and punching Nazis.

Actual white supremacism hasn’t been popular among American whites since probably as far back as the 1970s.  There are far less isolated white communities than there were before the 70s, and since the 70s, the conglomeration of most of our major social institutions has accelerated so much that even where different races live in racially exclusive communities, they are still experiencing daily interactions with people that represent most of the major races of the world in the places they work and the places they shop.

The internet has only accelerated our humanizing of peoples regardless of their races as more and more humans in America find allegiances with others more based on their shared beliefs than their race.  The hysteria over white supremacism has been almost entirely ‘fake news,’ to borrow a phrase that also emerged in 2015.

In point of fact, too many humans that happen to be white or happen to be black, especially, find themselves involved in friendly, and even familial, ways with people of different races.  My family, for instance, in the last two generations, has absorbed DNA and created blood family ties with people of African descent, people of “Latin” descent, and people of Asian descent.  And my story is hardly unique among other previously white families that are now mixed-race families.

White Supremacism was the scapegoat the American Left needed to recruit white elites, children of well-off white parents, children who more than almost any other group of white children, most assuredly benefited significantly from white dominance (which wasn’t ever white dominance, but really only rich white family dominance).

The American Left itself is largely the product of agit prop created by the few corporations that control the vast majority of content Americans consume on a daily basis.  These corporations themselves are controlled by a small number of overwhelmingly white billionaire families that derived their wealth which created their initial power most assuredly from actual white supremacism.

It is not lost on us who pay attention that the American Left in its current form is wholly the manufactured product of the two classes of whites that most benefited from white supremacism, the billionaire class and the upper middle class.  The children of these families would write the books and become the activist celebrities of the anti-white movement that was really a dialectical white supremacist movement the whole time.

The American Left is the Dialectical KKK.

Black Americans appears to mostly have bought the sale, convinced that the white devil is poised to finish them off at any time, convinced mostly by the most powerful, the most beneficial of white supremacism, in America today.  It is as if the master has convinced them that the poor whites living next to them are the reason they are slaves, so the master whips them up in a frenzy to attack the poor whites, but lets them know that they can never defeat these white devils without the assistance, the aid, of the good whites, the slave masters themselves.  Also, they will have to stay on the plantation if they wish to stay safe from the murdering white devil.

Preventing the American people from building a race-irrelevant society based on an Individual-rights constitutional Republic is the main goal of this project, the American Left project, as engineered by the whites that benefited the most from actual racism.  The goal is to destroy the ability of the weak to stop the strong from controlling them.  The goal is to keep racism alive.

The bill of rights, when the state fears a people who assume these rights are theirs, is the bedrock of a society that can exchange value with one another without being compelled to like one another.  The American Left wants total control of hearts and minds, because their project demands it.  Without total control, their worldview can never come to be, as it is fundamentally anathema with peaceful coexistence.  It is a war ideology designed to produce more war, more conflict, more upheaval, more dependence on central power to protect you from the devils.

It is a psycho-social tool designed by white billionaires to corral the black communities and contain the poor white communities.  It is a psycho-social tool designed to murder the American republic and replace it with something that allows the white billionaire class to move with impunity, whose end goals have little to do with ending racism, bigotry, and hate.

It has everything to do with controlling competition, primarily from the white communities, who have to lose freedom to be controlled, but also to maintain control over the black communities, who can be granted a slight increase in freedoms while still being controlled.  The freedoms granted are bribes for the black community to continue to be the DNC’s source for votes without working for them, to become a massive voting block that will never hold you accountable.

In this backdrop, the events of February 28th, 2022, will go down in history as the beginning of the end of the Billionaire Left’s stranglehold on society and culture, and the beginning of the end of their stranglehold on black communities.

What happened on this date?  Will Smith announced to the world that American Leftist thought is entirely and wholly incompatible with basic humanity, and most assuredly with adult maturity.  Leftist thought at its core not only allows for individuals to violently assault human beings for words and beliefs alone, but actually demands it.  Failure to punch a Nazi could result in you being punched for being a Nazi.

Will Smith, during a live broadcast of the Academy Awards, walked on stage and slapped a comedian, Chris Rock, for daring to make a joke about his wife.  Immediately afterwards, the assaulter was the one offering comfort by other celebrities during a commercial break.  After the break, Will Smith incorporated Leftist emotion-speak to veil himself once again in the priest-king aura the Billionaire Left has worked so hard to cultivate with the celebrity class, the priest-cult spokesmodels of the DNC, the political vehicle of power of the Billionaire Left.

He wrapped himself up in “I am Jesus” language shortly after just slapping a comedian for making a joke about his wife.

The Academy, that bastion of nonce the world has come to know through such luminaries as Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein, not only didn’t immediately have Will Smith removed for assaulting one of their chosen presenters, they went ahead and awarded him an Oscar for best actor.  His speech did just as much to undo the cultural and social power of billionaire leftism as his slap did.

The way the Leftists treated Will Smith after violating basic adult human civility standards that many children have already learned (sticks and stones break my bones, but words will never hurt me) further destroys their social and cultural standing among an increasing number of Americans, including black Americans, who are already beginning to peel away from the DNC machine in growing recognition of how they’ve been played by billionaires to do the bidding of billionaires by promising to end a devil that didn’t exist anywhere but inside these same billionaires the whole time.

Black America, the threatening call is coming from inside your own house, the billionaire left you so unconditionally support.

Will Smith claimed in his acceptance speech to be some sort of ambassador of love, a typical starting point for any leftist assault.  Afterwards, he then made himself the Moses of his people by declaring that he was a river to his people.  This is the second stage of a leftist assault.  The final stage is to identify the devil that is interfering with love and declaring your personal intention and confidence in ending hate by murdering the anti-love people.

Will Smith didn’t get to that final part of his speech, but he walked you up to the door of it, implying even that ‘my people’ need a rescuer, which means they must have an enemy they must be ‘protected from.’

First, the billionaire left appeals to your basic humanity by promising to be the ambassadors of love.  They’ll serenade you for a while at this point, gushing with declarations like “love wins” and “love doesn’t judge.”  Next, they’ll identify themselves somehow as the priests of this cult who have the secret (woke) power to finally conquer hate and let love win.  Finally, they’ll identify the enemy of love and proceed to push you to hate these enemies of love and commit to ending the existential threat to love by murdering, enslaving, and excommunicating from society these enemies of love.

It is a gnostic religion that requires human sacrifices.

When Will Smith slapped Chris Rock, the next day “Americans’ actually debated whether Smith did anything wrong or not.  I combed the local news sites, perhaps as much as a hundred, from around the country to get a gauge of the country, and what I found was disheartening and encouraging.  It was disheartening because the adults who seem to believe that physically harming others for beliefs and words is ok, (in other words, it’s ok to punch Nazis), was close to 50 percent of the responses I saw on these news sites’ posts.

This group, whether they realize it or not, wants to make sure that free speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences (which means it’s not actually free speech).  They are seditionists at heart, for they reject the American Bill of Rights and replace it with Billionaire Leftism.

These local news outlets are all controlled by the same handful of Leftist billionaire corporations, and it showed, as the narratives that emerged in their stories fell along two lines, ‘what do you think of what happened’ or highlighting the traumatic and deadly disease of losing your hair.

The decision-makers in this cult must rightly have determined that attempting to build a narrative that legitimized Will Smith would nakedly reveal the true nature of these local news outlets that have devolved to become mere content marketing farms and agit prop distribution centers for the billionaire left.

It would reveal that the people writing your news are immature, violent, dangerous children who are very unsafe neighbors to have in your community.  If they weren’t, they’d soon be fired.

At the same time, they couldn’t speak directly against Will Smith, a fact that in and of itself should indict these local news outlets as it is as clear that Will Smith assaulted a man and acted like a spoiled brat petulant child, both during the slap and during the acceptance speech, something that is obvious to mature human adults not indoctrinated into a cult.

The goal here is to push that proverbial Overton window towards greater acceptance of punishing thought, something the billionaire class is desperate to gain control over, human thought, lest the innovators among the poors one day fell their Empires simply by no longer needing them.

What was encouraging, though, was how many Americans, of many races, in response to these adult children supporting slapping a man for saying a joke seemed to clearly see how obviously inviolate of adult civility this whole affair represents.  But more than that, I saw responses from people not mired in deep political and philosophical thought still clearly understand the existential risk to Americanism that this idea we can punish people for words and thoughts alone has become.

If you believe in punching Nazis, you are a seditionist against the American republic, which exists not in Washington but in the hearts of the real government, the American people (leftists not welcomed, for you are so violently opposed to it).

We are a nation that does not require a people to even like one another to exchange value with one another peacefully.  This is what civility is.  It’s not about politeness for politeness’ sake, or some sort of puritanical convention, or, as the billionaire left really wants you to believe, white supremacist constructs (which should tell you in and of itself how dangerous and how seditious to Americanism this billionaire leftism has become).

Civility enables people to mind their own business and still be able to buy a hotdog from a vendor or start an education learning how become a geneticist.  Without civility, open thought dies.  Without civility, the access to neutral truth dies.  We become the corrupt, through and through, like Russia, or China, both of which are experiencing massive collapses in key industries in large part thanks to the deep corruption that emerges from societies that punch Nazis, like the billionaire left wants you do.

As for the theory that this was a work, well, one cannot fully rule out that possibility.  If it were a work, and that were discovered, then this whole affair would dramatically accelerate the death of the billionaire left’s stranglehold on culture.

If I am correct in my assumptions, over the next few months you will begin to see more activity by billionaires that were either once part of the billionaire left or never were, that start to move towards supporting “American” standards like the right to free speech.  This will happen not because they all found the American Jesus in them, so to speak, but because they see the writing on the wall.  American Leftism is no longer a viable vehicle of power in America.

The other leftist billionaires might find themselves doubling down and going even harder, which will only work to the good of those of us who resist their corruption-enabling, cheat-enabling cult.

Will Smith smacked the mask of the American Billionaire Left, and it is never going back on again.

Hunter Laptop Confirmation Exposes Big Social’s 2020 Election Manipulation

Paul Collier March 21, 2022 0

Leading up to the mass mailer Presidential non-election of 2020, Big Social got whiff of a damning news item that could potentially derail the Biden train, the Hunter Biden laptop.

In a story alleging that Hunter Biden’s laptop was retrieved from a computer repair shop, Big Social decided to first immediately slap a big fact check claim that the story was not true, was fake news, was Russian disinformation.

But the story kept going out, and it was gaining in credibility, so Big Social decided to slap the old misinformation tag on the whole affair, nuking the story and any creators that dared continue overtly reporting on the laptop in future posts.  Trust the science, kids.

Hunter Biden’s laptop revealed direct ties between Joe Biden and Hunter Biden in business deals in the Ukraine, among other damning items.  A post-election poll shows 17 percent of the Biden voters would not have voted for him if they thought the stories connected to the laptop were real.  Big Social had done its job, in alliance with the DNC, to assure a plausible victory in the mass mailer non-election of 2020.

But now that Big Social has been exposed, again, and again and again and again, I ask you this, what next?  Do we continue to turn to the state for relief from a problem that the state itself seems more than willing to exploit?  If we empower the state to check Big Social, do we think it will stop with merely restraining it the way we the people would wish it to be restrained?

This story to me speaks volumes about the futility of ragertainment in opposition to what the DNC and its megacorp allies are trying to do to change the very nature of governance in America.  Rather than spending our time and energy seeking relief from the state from our corporate overlords, perhaps it is time for us to disconnect from them and reconnect with us, we in America still willing to exchange value with anyone, whether we like them or not, willing to follow our Bill of Rights and our Constitutional standards.

Maybe it is time for us to start simply being Americans again, where we live and in what we do.  We will find one another, I have no doubt in that.  In a span of two weeks, using a network of letter carriers, English Peasants in 1381 set off a revolt that nearly toppled a King but for their fear of the very idea of King itself.  We don’t even need a revolt, we just need gardens and microfactories and shared open source tech that enables us to equip ourselves with the tools that create sustainable flourishing for our households and our communities, be they geographically proximal or distributed.

The less you need them, the more you can protect what you steward, the more free we all are.  America emerged from this reality of power, the people who lived in these lands were sustainably flourishing, at the household and community levels.  They could survive and thrive on their own.  The only power the state had over them was the gun and their idea of authority.

So the Constitutional Republic with Individual Rights ethics was born, in large part, I support, due to this reality of power.  Today, we have exciting opportunities to utilize technology and revisit old tech to create the same type of conditions the wanna-be-dictators of America faced in the summer of 1787, the reality of power that they needed the people far more than the people needed them, and the people knew it.

On March 17, 2022, The New York Times stated it had verified the authenticity of a laptop and its data as belonging to the president’s son, Hunter Biden. This was the same laptop holding information that Twitter, Facebook, and other corporate media immediately suppressed when The New York Post, a right-leaning competitor of The New York Times, reported on it three weeks before the 2020 presidential election.

If they had known about one of the Biden family scandals, such as the Hunter Biden laptop information, 17 percent of Joe Biden’s voters wouldn’t have voted for him, found a 2020 post-election poll. This means big tech’s suppression of this story likely made enough difference to tip Joe Biden into his low-margin win in the Electoral College.

Back in October 2020, Twitter and Facebook immediately responded to The New York Post’s publication of information from Hunter Biden’s laptop by effectively banning it from their platforms that effectively monopolize…

Is it Time to Ghost the Left?

Is it Time to Ghost the Left?

Paul Collier March 21, 2022 0
Your news outlets are not in the business of making money. They’re mostly subsidized by the mega corp that owns them.
Megacorpos, whatever you want to call them, produce content marketing packaged as news.
These same megacorpos have more lately also been using entertainment production more for content marketing than seeking to make profitable products.
These megacorps have been subsidized, in essense, by foreign markets, with China being bigger than maybe all the others combined. China has become the de facto subsizer of content marketing in America for the past 5-8 years.
The number one content marketing producer, by far and away, with over 80 percent shares in almost every market, is the DNC and the coalition of hate and opportunism that supports this death machine.
The DNC has been using megacorps, and being used by them as well (these folks are all always only frenemies), to push narratives and create ‘realities’ that create support for destroying a Constitutional Republican America, by any means necessary, as this slows down the mega-powered minute few from being able to move as quickly at manipulating society to their advantage as the rest of the world can, especially their number one frenemy, China.
None of these nation-states have a people with such a sense of individual liberty entitlement, and the DNC and megacorp coalition want nothing more than to join the rest of the world at the expense of American individual rights.
None of the major social and cultural means of production owners (and there’s maybe 15 or 20 total companies that own 80 plus percent of most of our major markets) have any interest in restoring or preserving rights for individuals. Not a one.
They want to compete with Chinese billionaires, but they imagine they can keep their DNC dangerous dragon ally on a leash.
This is not about being pro or anti-monopolistic, this is about the values of the leaders of those monopolies becoming fundamentally revolutionary in nature, antithetical to an American Constitutional Republic with a Bill of Rights that emphasizes the rights of individuals to choose their own beliefs, not have them forced on them by the powerful minute few.
Americans have a right to bad beliefs.  End stop.  No one can be forced to like anyone or anything or any belief or any action they choose not to like.  This is America, not Soviet DNC, not yet.
The DNC looks at the megacorp Citadelians in the same way as these elites view them, as a necessary dangerous dragon ally, but one they will ultimately control.
These alliance are all frenemy alliances. Everyone in this ‘cult of self over the masses’ cabal sees themselves as the final highlander, ready to kill their best friend when the time comes.  In minecraft, of course….
Perhaps it is time for the rest of us to simply start ignoring them
Those of us not fooled by the hateful agit prop, those of us not choosing to be opportunists and take advantage of the passive aggressive unaccountable type of power the DNC narratives create, and those of us who are not simple cowards afraid to speak up, might want to simply start ignoring these people altogether.
Stop complaining about their wackadoodle bad art woketarian garbage content. Laugh at it, sure, but stop acting angry. Let these fools play out their melodramatic out-of-tune song, and laugh while they drunk post their own l’s on twitter. Or not.
Maybe not even laugh at them. Just. Ignore them. They’re boring. They have like five lines and 15 words they use, and that’s about it. They’re not even entertaining lolcows at this point. They’re not even cringe. They’re just…….boring.
All this to say, if you can, just turn them off, tune them out, and make your own content if you have to.
We who have not gone insane will find each other and be there for our former friends and family when they stumble out of the mist and ask themseles “What the heck was I thinking?”
Unlike the left, we have mercy, we have grace, so no one who wants back will be rejected. No one gets permabanned for their crappy beliefs alone.
So yeah, just tune out and create. That’s my take.
Like the DNC, China Wants to Censor Internet Misinformation

Like the DNC, China Wants to Censor Internet Misinformation

Paul Collier March 10, 2022 0

A high-level member of the political advisory board of the Chinese Communist Party has been telegraphing the next move by Chairman Xi’s party to assure that any dissent that might grow is nipped in the bud before it ever blooms.  To that end, the high-ranking member of the prestigious political advisory board, Jia Qungguo, has been complaining about the proliferation of ‘misinformation’ on the Chinese Communist Party controlled internet.

Jia said, “….there are often people online who, for some purpose, package a foreigner’s vicious remarks against China as the view of everyone in that country towards China in order to incite the Chinese people’s dissatisfaction and hostility towards said country and its people,”

You see, friends, if we can’t all reflect the world policies of the state, how can we be trusted, how can we be safe as a people?  In the name of protecting citizens from dangerous thoughts that could lead others to make bad decisions, the DNC pushes for hate speech laws and more social media censorship, following, it would seem, this model that has been used for centuries in China, the Chinese Communist Party method of controlling and eliminating potential competition, dissent.

Chinese government adviser calls for law to ban ‘fake news’ | China

Excerpt:

 

An adviser to the Chinese government has called for new laws to ban “fabricating and disseminating fake information online”, blaming the rampant disinformation on the internet for polarising Chinese public opinion.

Jia Qingguo, a member of China’s highest political advisory body, said he also believed the proliferation of misinformation online had fuelled tensions between China and foreign countries.

“For example, there are often people online who, for some purpose, package a foreigner’s vicious remarks against China as the view of everyone in that country towards China in order to incite the Chinese people’s dissatisfaction and hostility towards said country and its people,” Jia said in an interview on Saturday with online news portal The Cover, which is affiliated with the state-owned Sichuan Daily.

The former dean of the prestigious Peking University’s School of International Studies added that the spread of fake news could harm national interests, and lead to public confusion and social division. He called on Beijing to introduce specific measures to “severely punish” those who create false information to “cause serious harm to society”.

Cancel Russia- The Economic Hot War of Ukraine

Cancel Russia- The Economic Hot War of Ukraine

Paul Collier March 8, 2022 0

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gdxv37E3Qc

President Joe Biden officially announced the White House’s intentions to ban Russian oil and gas from being imported into the United States.  This latest economic war action against Russia follows a list of sanctions and cancellations from American corporations, European states, and European corporations.

The move raises the stakes on Russia needing to secure a victory to secure a safe home for Putin, whose individual personality is the driving force in the decision-making process of the entire Russian state.

Rather than ending the war in the Ukraine, it might well be that the draconian moves to cut Russia off from the ‘Western’ world are pushing the world towards a type of war that will fundamentally end all that we have today, nuclear war.

The United States and Europe seem prudently willing to avoid having nuclear-powered nations’ troops clash in armed conflict, but have they considered that an economic war aimed at crippling, even destroying the Russian state could produce the same type of potential existential response?

The efforts by corporations to aggressively sanction a state far above and beyond what their own states asked of them could be the moment the cancel culture method of governance becomes cemented in the hearts and minds of the casuals, or it could be the peak of a power that is soon to be destroyed.  The prospect of the former leaves me hesitant to cheer on the massive cancellation of an entire state.

Russia will not sit still, and the entire world is not cut off from Russia.  The moves we are making right now are driving India into the Russia orbit, which means, given Russia and China’s increasing growing needs for one another, that India and China might soon have to mostly make nice, at least for the cameras.  As usual, alliances are filled with contradictions and conflict, and this alliance will be no less contradictory or conflict-filled.

The American media, the DNC media de facto, is vilifying Russia every day in every way they can.  Anti-Russianism is becoming a social pressure, and it looks more and more openly racist and bigoted every day.  There is little time that anyone pauses to say, “By Russia, I mean the government, not the people.”  In these hate diatribes, the Russian people are explicitly the targets of hate.

They are being sjw’d before our very eyes, and the right is cheering it on, for some reason.

Russia is run by a totalitarian killer who, to serve his own interest, invaded a nation of 40 million and proceeded to bomb their cities, their homes, even their schools.  Russia, though, is doing what many of these same self-righteous nations have been doing themselves, with America being one of the clearest examples.

The actors on this stage are all ruthlessly serving their own interests, and yours aren’t theirs.  Right now, they need to move to hurt Russians, to hurt Americans, to hurt Ukrainians, etc., to settle which of the concentrations of power in the world have the advantage going into the next few decades, nothing more.

Ukraine could have been a neutral buffer, but the West, with America in the lead, pushed it to be a threat to Russia.  Russia could have been content with what she had, but seeing the West gain power in Ukraine prompted them to want to take it for themselves.

What follows is how the media is covering this economic war, with headers added to help you better understand the patterns that are emerging in this war.  It starts with the first announcement of the US’s intention to block Russian oil and gas and ends with an analysis of what the new normal post-cancel-Russia looks like in trade.

It’s thirteen days since Putin invaded Ukraine, meeting a level of resistance that’s shocked the world while isolating Russia and its people from much of the global economy.

The consequences — and battles — are continuing to play out. President Biden is expected to announce on Tuesday that the U.S. will ban imports of Russian oil and liquefied natural gas; the EU is expected to announce a plan to reduce its reliance on Russian gas.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) – European Union leaders will agree at a summit this week to phase out the EU’s dependency on imports of Russian gas, oil and coal, a draft statement showed, marking a turning point in its policy towards Moscow prompted by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

EU leaders will meet in Versailles on Thursday and Friday to discuss boosting their joint defence capability and Ukraine’s bid to become a member of the 27-nation bloc. [L8N2V445U]

Burned by the experience of supply shortages in microchips and pharmaceuticals during the COVID-19 pandemic, the leaders will also discuss how to make the EU more strategically independent of global suppliers in these sectors and food.

Analysts say alternative supplies wouldn’t be able to fully replace Russian oil

From www.cnbc.com
2022-03-08 07:47:00

Excerpt:

While there are alternatives to Russian oil, they would be insufficient or difficult logistically if the U.S. and its allies were to ban Russian energy imports, analysts said Tuesday.

“There’s just no way even OPEC+ and even combined Iran and Venezuela could make up for it,” Vandana Hari, founder of energy intelligence firm Vanda Insights, told CNBC’s “Squawk Box Asia.”

Russia’s war in Ukraine shows no sign of abating as the U.S. and its allies weigh banning Russian oil and natural gas imports. Oil prices spiked to highs not seen since 2008, though later pared those gains. There was also concern that Russia could retaliate by cutting natural gas supplies to Europe.

To be sure, some Russian capacity could be replaced, Hari said.

Russia exports about 5 million barrels of crude oil per day, according to the International Energy Agency. Of that, Hari said about 2 million could be replaced if OPEC members Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates “were able to simultaneously…

Dear Mr. President, 

I appreciate many of the actions you’ve taken over the past two weeks to isolate Russia and provide support to Ukraine, and I encourage you to consider additional measures, including eliminating any barriers to increasing U.S. domestic oil and gas production. This request won’t surprise you. I have consistently urged your administration, including long before this current crisis, to end your battle against developing American energy on public lands. It is more important now than ever that the United States and our allies produce the resources that will allow the world to move away from…

Buying Oil from Other Authoritarian States?

Biden turns to countries he once sought to avoid to find help shutting off Russia’s oil money

From localnews8.com
2022-03-08 13:14:13

Excerpt:

 

President Joe Biden’s urgent global search for help shutting off Russia’s oil revenues is leading, in some instances, to regimes he once sought to isolate or avoid.

Biden administration officials traveled to Venezuela over the weekend for talks on potentially allowing the country to sell its oil on the international market, helping to replace Russian fuel. Biden may travel to Saudi Arabia as the US works to convince the kingdom to increase its production. And a looming nuclear deal could bring significant volumes of Iranian oil back to the market.

Caracas, Riyadh and Tehran would have been unlikely sources of relief for a Biden-led Western alliance before the start of the war in Ukraine. But Russia’s invasion has upended international relations, forcing the US and other nations to seek out solutions in places they’d previously shunned.

In deciding the next steps, Biden administration officials are weighing a host of factors. Russia’s invasion of its neighbor, which has left scores of civilians dead, has generated immense pressure on Western nations to cut their energy ties to Moscow, including from both Democrats and Republicans in Congress. In a videoconference call with American lawmakers Saturday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky pleaded for a ban on Russian energy.

US imports from Russia make up a small slice of the energy universe — roughly 8% in 2021, of which only about 3% was crude oil. White House economic officials have been engaged for more than a week in how to manage any decision to cut off those imports, officials say.

There has been a shortage of semiconductors since 2020 that has had a knock-on effect on the automobile and technology industries. Both use semiconductors to manufacture their products.

By Karen Freifeld and Alexandra Alper

NEW YORK/WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Biden administration is threatening to add companies to a trade blacklist if they skirt new export curbs against Russia, as it ramps up efforts to keep a vast array of technology out of the country after it invaded Ukraine last month.

The U.S. Department of Commerce, which oversees export controls, is mobilizing staff around the globe to halt illicit shipments of computers, aircraft parts, marine equipment and other technology to Russia, partnering with allied countries and U.S. law enforcement agencies like the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security to crack down on the newly illegal trade, according to U.S. officials.

The goal is to enforce sweeping new restrictions on shipments to Russia of both U.S. and foreign commodities, technology and software, if produced with U.S. equipment, technology or software. The restrictions also apply to Belarus.

Matthew Axelrod, the Commerce Department’s Assistant Secretary for Export Enforcement, told Reuters in a statement on Monday the United States will “bring the full force of the law to hold accountable those that knowingly violate the new rules, including by placing additional parties on the Entity List,” a U.S. trade blacklist.

Already some of the biggest names in tech, like Microsoft Corp and Intel Corp, have announced they will halt shipments to Russia.

U.S. exports to Russia were under $5 billion in 2020, according to the Commerce Department but, a senior official has said, multilateral cooperation means more than $50 billion in key inputs to Russia may be curbed.

Axelrod said the Commerce Department has begun “robust engagement with U.S. exporters and other partners to ensure they understand the new rules,” which aim to keep chips and other items made at home and abroad from Russia.

He also noted that 91 parties in 10 countries were added to the Commerce Department’s Entity List last week for supporting Russian military,…

The auto assembly lines going quiet in Germany, Britain and Austria are more than just another example of how fragile supply chains have become. The shutdowns may foreshadow a fundamental reordering of the global economy that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine will accelerate.

The conflict has underlined the risks of doing business in authoritarian countries — not just Russia but also China — raising questions about the growing dependence of the automobile industry on the Chinese market.

China’s support for Russia has further strained relations between Beijing and the United States and Europe, which were already at loggerheads over trade. In Berlin, the conflict has strengthened members of the new coalition government who argue that Europe — especially Germany and its car industry — has become overly dependent on trade with China.

Biden Nominee Reflects DNC Values, not Constitutional Ones

Biden Nominee Reflects DNC Values, not Constitutional Ones

Paul Collier March 7, 2022 0

Joe Biden’s Supreme Court nomination, Ketanji Brown Jackson, has credentials enough to justify her nomination to the highest court in the land.  She is a graduate of Harvard, she was previously a district, and most recently appellate federal judge.  White serving as district judge, appointed by then-President Obama, she was involved in several major cases involved with the Trump administration.

In these key rulings, she demonstrates a willingness to bend the law and the constitution to fit into any frame that supports the clearly leftist ideology she seems to uphold.  Her rulings to attempt to prevent the Health and Human Services Department from removing funding of abortions being conducted by Planned Parenthood clearly demonstrate her willingness to go outside the bounds of law and constitution to use the court to support her factional political worldview rather than be a true steward of Constitutional American Law.

Here are some highlights of some of her key rulings:

‘Presidents are not kings’: 5 notable decisions by Ketanji Brown Jackson  

From Christian Post

Excerpt:

In November 2019, Jackson issued a decision in the case of Committee on the Judiciary, United States House of Representatives v. Donald F. McGahn II, ruling against then-President Donald Trump’s attempt to prevent an administration figure from testifying before Congress.

“In 2018, Jackson made headlines when she invalidated three executive orders issued by then-President Trump, which were designed, in her words, ‘to restrict the scope and effectiveness of federal employees’ right to collective bargaining,’” they noted.

…. At issue in the case was if the Department of Homeland Security could, in keeping with an announcement from July 23, 2019, designate people who have been in the U.S. illegally for up to two years for “expedited removal.”

….. In 2017, Jackson ruled against an environmentalist organization’s efforts to get a federal body to expedite possible additional regulations on offshore oil drilling.

Known as Center for Biological Diversity v. Ryan Zinke, et al., the case involved an environmental group trying to get the Department of the Interior to complete a review on policies regarding oil drilling.

Jackson ruled against the group, concluding that the activists could not compel a federal agency to complete its ongoing review, “much less demand that an agency publicly announce its decision to decline to revise its existing rules.”

….This included the 2018 decision in Policy and Research, LLC v. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, in which Jackson concluded that the effort violated federal law.

“Jackson held the Department of Health and Human Services unlawfully terminated plaintiffs’ grant funding without explanation, thus violating the Administrative Procedure Act,” explained the Center for Reproductive Rights.

“A month after this decision, Judge Jackson issued an opinion in Healthy Futures of Texas v. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, again ruling in favor of grantees who brought a class action lawsuit that similarly challenged the early termination of funding.”

The general thrust of the MSM support of the Biden nominee seems to be in portraying her as a woman of the people who will bring the spirit of the people back to the court, a shining light of immigration producing great Americans, and being a black woman face that can finally make black women in America feel validated.  Finally.

The GOP will most likely focus on her being the face of leftist quotas over substance, an argument that is based on a presupposition that being a Judge on this High Court requires skills that few humans possess, but, really, these judges have demonstrated throughout human history that they themselves don’t meet the standards of this mythological skilled and unbiased jurist.

Perhaps finding jurists that reassure the people that we all have representation in this great American experiment is something that might ‘allow’ for something like a general quota on our high court.  The problem is more in finding people, whether they have ethnic diversity or not, that will limit their rulings to the literal and original intent of the Constitution, or will they demonstrate willingness to apply sophistry to ‘justify’ ruling to advantage their faction rather than rule as a neutral judge based on our Rule of Law.

On that front, it goes without saying that a party who stands in open opposition to the very idea of America itself, an America they simply call white supremacism, would not nominate one of what are probably plenty of black women willing to rule as an American and not a DNC party member.

The RNC as token opposition will vote against the confirmation as much as they need to for the tokening, but, be assured DNC, there will be 2-3 GOPers willing to confirm another leftist whose very political identity is anathema to an American Rule of Law Constitutionally Limited Representational Republic.

Here’s another way that Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson will bring diversity to the Supreme Court – the fact that she’s a former public defender. Those are lawyers who represent people who are accused of crimes but cannot afford their own representation. In fact, she is the first nominee to the high court with this background and one of only a handful to sit on the federal bench. In fact, only 7% of all active federal judges are former public defenders. That’s according to the Federal Judicial Center, a research agency that keeps track of things like this. We wondered why so few public defenders go on to become federal judges, so we called Martin Sabelli. He is a former federal public defender and now trains public defenders in San Francisco. He’s also the president of the board of directors of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.

For Republicans, the confirmation of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, who currently serves on the prestigious DC US Circuit Court of Appeals, may be inevitable. But the way they handle the confirmation hearing — particularly in the context of her being the first Black woman nominated for the high court — could have far reaching implications in the midterm elections.

That’s according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research that shows 48% of Americans say it’s not important to them personally that a Black woman becomes a Supreme Court Justice. Another 23% say that’s somewhat important, and 29% say it’s very or extremely important. Only two Black men have served on the nation’s highest court, and no Black women have ever been nominated.

Sounding off: Supreme Court needs diversity

Negative tropes being used to critique President Biden’s decision to nominate Ketanji Brown Jackson, a Black woman, to the Supreme Court may be missing the point (“Biden demonstrating his racism again.”)

In these bitterly divisive times, when our self-serving legislative and executive branches are increasingly irrelevant, the court may be our Constitution’s best hope for survival.

The court has maintained its preeminence throughout our history because no jurist’s background or presidential patron is a reliable barometer of how they will rule. Justices Anthony Kennedy and Sandra Day O’Connor proved far more moderate than Ronald Reagan.

In the same vein, a historic appointment does not guarantee political payback. Lyndon Johnson’s nomination of Thurgood Marshall lost the Democratic South. O’Connor’s appointment did not close the GOP’s gender gap. More Latinos voted Republican in the last election, even though a Democratic president nominated Justice Sonia…

Ketanji Brown Jackson Is the Supreme Court Justice we need now

By Ben Jealous

It is with profound joy that I write these words today: Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson has been nominated to become our nation’s first Black woman Supreme Court Justice. From a pool of outstanding Black women attorneys, jurists and legal scholars, President Biden has chosen Judge Jackson for her stellar credentials and brilliant legal mind. We are overjoyed by this nomination; now the Senate needs to move quickly to confirm her.

In the coming weeks, we will all get the opportunity to learn more about Judge Jackson’s story and her record. Her legal credentials are outstanding: a double-Harvard alumna, earning both her undergraduate and law degrees with honors; a clerk for three federal judges – including the one she will succeed, Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, who called her “great” and “brilliant”; a star in private practice and as a public defender in Washington, D.C.

The country will also come to know that Judge Jackson wrote…

Excerpt:

A senior opinion writer explains why Ketanji Brown Jackson brings a perspective to the court that makes the institution more representative of the American public.

A Black woman has never been appointed to serve on the Supreme Court of the United States. That could be set to change, as the Biden Administration is nominating Ketanji Brown Jackson to replace outgoing associate justice Stephen Breyer — who has served on the nation’s top court since 1994.

“I think that’s the importance of diversity — not just in terms of race and geography — but diversity in terms of background on this court. You have a lot of former federal judges [on the court], it’s really homogenous in that sense.” — Kimberly Atkins Stohr, senior opinion writer at The Boston Globe

As Senate considers Judge Jackson, a lawyer recalls the profession’s ugly history | Opinion

Excerpt:

 

I attended the University of Minnesota Law School — at the time and arguably still a top 20 law school — and graduated in 1981 with a decent grade point average. I spent my law school summers clerking for a small law firm.

Yet, I couldn’t find a job for after law school. So, one day I went to visit one of the male partners in the small firm where I had clerked. The firm was too small to take on a new associate, so I went there to ask the partner why I couldn’t find a job. His answer was stark and dismaying:

“Firms and others that have job openings have already hired their token woman, and they aren’t hiring any more women.”

When I went to law school, 41% of my class were women. So, my reply to my former boss was that, “Someday there will be so many women lawyers they will have to hire us. They will have to make us partners. They will have to appoint us to the bench.”

Around this time, I learned about a lunch with Democratic…

As a teen born to immigrants, Biden’s SCOTUS pick tells me I belong

From www.inquirer.com

Excerpt:

 

Last month, President Joe Biden nominated the first Black woman, Ketanji Brown Jackson, to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Even before announcing his pick, Biden committed to nominating a Black woman, which sparked a conversation about the role diversity plays on a political level. Conservatives have criticized Biden’s choice; the Wall Street Journal editorial board argued that it “elevates skin color over qualifications.” Sen. Ted Cruz went so far as to say the nomination is “an insult to Black women.”

I was 10 years old during the 2016 presidential elections, and while my name wasn’t on a ballot, my future certainly was. While there were several parts of the Trump administration that upset me, it was the racism he fostered that affected me the most. When I look back on those four years, I think of his embrace of anti-immigrant rhetoric, his response to white supremacy (“very fine people”), his spreading of the “birther” conspiracy, and his use of social media to escalate…

Scientists Threaten to Quit Unless We Believe Them

Scientists Threaten to Quit Unless We Believe Them

Paul Collier March 3, 2022 0

There is a movement growing among scientists that was only accelerated by the poorly made DNC agit prop film “Don’t Look Up,” a film that equated people not willing to simply look up and see a meteor heading to earth with failing to believe the scientists that the end of the world is nigh given the actual fact that the scientists have a history of inaccurate prediction modeling.

The scientists are considering stopping doing the work of making the world a better place through science power and magic until we the people acknowledge their wisdom and certainty and JUST FOLLOW THE SCIENCE.

Anthony the Doctor Fauci might be rumored to be the spokesperson of this elitist movement but those rumors are completely unfounded, even if the poetry of such a reality would make the dystopia at least a bit tolerable.

 

Scientists Consider Walk-Out Over Climate Change Indifference

Scientists Plotting Mass Walkout to Protest Everyone Destroying the World

Stop us if you’ve heard this one before: Scientists say that climate change is destroying the world, and we need to do something about it.

If you’re sick of hearing about the destruction humans have caused on the Earth, imagine how tired researchers are of telling everyone about it. That’s why a group of climate scientists are considering alternative options for sounding the alarm — including a mass walkout.

“We’ve had 26 Conference of the Parties meetings, for heaven’s sake,” Bruce C. Glavovic, a researcher at the University of New Zealand, told The New York Times in reference to the United Nations’ global warming summits. “I mean, seriously, what difference is that going to make?”

That’s why Glavovic and two colleagues published a paper in the journal Climate and Development last year calling on climate scientists to halt their research until the world’s nations take serious action against climate change. They say a strike might help the world renegotiate “the broken science-society contract.”

College Prof Training Antifa Soldiers on Tax Dollar Dime

College Prof Training Antifa Soldiers on Tax Dollar Dime

Paul Collier March 3, 2022 0

A viral video coming out of the University of North Texas shows a class full of young adults being led by a couple of older white male college professors leading the group in a fanatical zealous frenzied chant that borders on religious ecstasy.  The students moved as one in martial action and tone, chanting, “F&*K You Fascists!”

The video has gone viral, exposing once again the level of violent rhetoric and hate being led by College Professors getting salaries from taxpayer dollars, leading students to hate America, the republic, and the Bill of Rights, all in the name of ‘ending hate.’

I’ve seen that level of ecstatic oneness only in religious rituals such as one finds in charismatic churches and Kundalini gatherings.

College Professor Leads Students in Anti-fascist Chanting

Professor Encourages Class to Yell ‘F*ck You Fascists’

Excerpt:

I’m old enough to remember when we were taught in school that bullying is bad. Remember, don’t be a bully, be a star! That was a bygone era. Now, bullying is your patriotic duty if you are a leftist and someone has a slightly different opinion than you. Seeing a University of North Texas class gang up on two students giving a presentation, banging on the desk, and chanting “F*ck you fascist!” is a bad look. A worse look is them being encouraged by the professor.

Unclear is what triggered the outburst. The left doesn’t always understand what words mean. They are okay with politicians who act like fascists and strip citizens of civil liberties. Yet, they think the fascists are the citizens who speak out against those politicians. All I can see is one of the two students is wearing a red hat and the smartboard reads, “For the Future of Texas: Federalism as State Nationalism, Conservatism as Traditionalism, Republican Politics as Restoration.”

This is how University of North Texas students handle opinions they don’t agree with.

Notice the instructor at the front of the class cheering them on. pic.twitter.com/1NgXC1L97a
