Biden Just Handed the Taliban Hundreds of Deadly, High-Tech American Missiles

Freedomist Editor August 24, 2021

PGC – Thanks to the efforts by Joe Biden to assure the collapse of Afghanistan doesn’t happen too close to the 2022 elections (which would be bad for the DNC, the CCP knockoff import from China masquerading as an American political party), the Taliban now have hundreds of death-dealing, high-tech missiles it inherited from the Afghan government it just defeated thanks to the hasty American retreat.

Taliban May Have Inherited ‘Hundreds’ of Missiles From Former Afghan Government

By Jeff Stein

The Taliban, its al Qaeda ally, and the renegade ISIS-K terror group may have inherited hundreds of deadly shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles from the fallen Afghan government’s weapons depots, experts say.

The exact number of missiles and their origin, kind, age and viability are hard to come by. A 2019 report by the RAND Corp. think tank put the total at an alarming 4,500, but according to experts, that figure is unreliable, and almost certainly represents the number of MANPADS—Man-portable air defense systems—acquired by successive Kabul regimes going back decades. It’s highly unlikely that Washington supplied any to Kabul, experts explained. Any left today likely represent a fraction of those acquired by the Taliban regime overthrown by the U.S. in 2001, or its predecessors.

Still, if even a fraction of MANPADS fell into the hands of the Taliban, Al-Qaeda or ISIS-K, an Islamic State faction active in Afghanistan and elsewhere nearby, that would be…

Rainbow Cops Will Make UK’s LGBTQ Feel Safe

Freedomist Editor August 24, 2021

PGC – The disarmed UK is light years ahead of America in developing and carrying out the anti-liberty agenda of corpowoketarianizm. They’re so far down the path of anti-liberty that they have now determined the police are apparently primarily here to make sure the LGBTQ feel safe, while everyone else is arrested for daring to even look at them in a midly non-friendly way. The bobbies of Britan have decided that rainbow police cars are worth a spike in budget expense to assure the LGBTQ feel safe, not concerned that that rainbow has become a militant political flag of hate aimed at those who stand outside the new normative of this perverse cult, that heterosexuality is a disease that must be cured.

The new ‘hate crime’ cars coming soon to UK police forces (Instagram/@yourpolice.uk)

UK police are facing heavy criticism for a new fleet of rainbow-coloured squad cars they claim will boost “confidence” among the LGBT+ community.

The “hate crime cars” will be introduced in forces across the country in a bid to encourage more victims of anti-LGBT+ crimes to come forward to police.

Currently as many as 80 per cent of LGBT+ people don’t report hate crimes to the authorities, according to Stonewall, but police believe their colourful cars will change that.

“They get all the police insignia put on them as normal, but there will be normally something added on that is to do with the rainbow side of things,” said Julie Cooke, deputy chief constable of Cheshire Police.

Explaining the initiative on social media, she said that the “cost is quite minimal”, but is assured that the impact is “huge”.

China’s Use of Corporate Social Media to Control Dissent Mirrors American DNC Tactics

Freedomist Editor August 24, 2021

PGC – China is using American corpowoketarianz tactics to assure that any thoughts, ideas, beliefs that are not aligned with the party,the CCP (the Father of the American DNC), is destroyed using corporate monopolies to do its anti-liberty bidding. A Canadian-Chinese pop star was detained by the CCP for being non-CCP in his views, and some Chinese citizens dared defend him. For their trouble, they found themselves removed from Weibo, one of China’s major social media platforms. It goes without saying these offenders of the orthodoxy will also see social credit damage as a result of this action, something I’m sure the DNC wishes they could do to Americans that deviate from their perverse orthodoxty.

BEIJING — China’s microblogging platform Sina Weibo on Monday closed 145 accounts, some of which had defended pop star Kris Wu over his rape allegations, for publishing what it called “information harmful for maintaining social order.”

Wu, a Chinese-Canadian pop star, was detained on July 31 for “deceiving young women multiple times into having sexual relations” with him, according to Beijing police. His arrest came after several women said they were plied with alcohol and then either pressured to have sex with him or sexually assaulted.

Some of the Weibo accounts which were shut down had previously defended such allegations against Wu, according to state-run media outlet Global Times.

A Water Crisis Threatens the People of the Middle East

Freedomist Editor August 23, 2021

PGC – The bloom of the Middle and Near East in the 20th Century that has become the spectacular urban expansion of the 21st century may be built on sand that is running out water beneath it. As populations have expanded, growing states in this region have been relying on pumping water from underground to match the rain shortfalls the region is now experiencing as far as sustaning human life at this expanded populated level.

The nations are choosing to keep pumping from below, but the waters are running out as rain fails to replenish what was taken out. The added concern for this region comes from the potential for climate change to drive the temperatures up even higher, and also what would be the expected prolonged droughts from such a change. It could well be that these regions simply will not be able to provide for the amount of humans that live here, with our best technology, and our best planning factored in.

The Middle East is running out of water, and parts of it are becoming uninhabitable. : Futurology

Such problems are familiar in many parts of the Middle East — where water is simply running out.

The region has witnessed persistent drought and temperatures so high that they are barely fit for human life. Add climate change to water mismanagement and overuse, and projections for the future of water here are grim.

Some Middle Eastern countries, including Iran, Iraq and Jordan, are pumping huge amounts of water from the ground for irrigation as they seek to improve their food self-sufficiency, Charles Iceland, the global director of water at the World Resources Institute (WRI), told CNN. That’s happening as they experience a decrease in rainfall.

“They’re using more water than is available routinely through rain. And so groundwater levels are consequently falling because you’re taking water out faster than it’s being replenished by the rainfall,” he said.

That’s what’s happening in Iran, where a vast network of dams sustains an agricultural sector that drinks up about 90% of the water…

Amazon Wants to Be Conglomo

Freedomist Editor August 23, 2021

PGC – It appears that Amazon is set to move into the brick and mortar business on a much-larger scale than it has today. Amazone has announced its plans to open up massive department stores to rival Walmart, and it will begin its experiment in California, where it hopes it can quickly expand across the US and then the World.

Some believe the move is not about wanting to become a department store business, but it’s more about two things, eliminating brick and mortar competition and, more importantly perhaps, gathering more data to enhance its online business, which it fully intends on remaining its major focus.

What it intends on doing with that is not just about enhancing its online super department store, but about creating new digital products and services so that it can one day even rival Google, Facebook, and Twitter. Amazon Social could be just around the corner, well, not literally, but don’t be surprised to see such a move soon after these department stores start to spread.

In the 90s cartoon show Rocko’s Modern Life, the whole town was essentially owned by the only corporation around, Conglomo. It’s slogan was simply “We own you.” Perhaps Amazon’s Jeff Bezos watched that show in the 90s (It was an adult-themed show) and rather than coming away from it like most of us did (Conglomo sucks and such a thing is an abomination to all things good and decent), I think perhaps Bezos came away from that whole exchange thinking, “One day, I too might be a Conglomo.”

After Killing Department Stores, Amazon Now Plans to Make Department Stores

Excerpt:

In an almost cruel twist of irony, Amazon is allegedly planning on opening large physical stores akin to department stores in the near future.

These brick-and-mortar locations will allow customers to purchase clothes, electronics, kitchen appliances, and more, according to The Wall Street Journal. The ecommerce and web hosting giant is slated to first open their department stores in California and Ohio.

The Amazon stores are expected to occupy roughly 30,000 square feet. That’s smaller than your typical Macy’s or Target, but are about in line with recently opened department stores from Nordstrom, the WSJ reports.

Amazon’s push for more brick-and-mortar stores such as their bookstores can all be brought back to one dark yet simple reason: data.

As it stands, the tech giant is lagging behind Facebook and Google when it comes to the digital ad industry…….

Making Plants Better Chemical Factories

Freedomist Editor August 23, 2021

PGC – The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has released findings that claim scientists there have developed a method to efficiently convert plant matter to numerous useful chemical bioproducts. The scientists engineered yeast to interact with plant matter in such a way that it was able to produce a number of useful cehmicals from the plant that had heretofor not been possible. The team used xylos and acetate to interact with a part of the plant called Lignocellulose.

This material is what gives plants their rigidity and structure. It has long been suspected of being a source of biofuel, and now, after these experiments, the sceintists from the University of Illionois Urbana-Champaign are claiming they have an effective method to harvest from plants tremendous new biofuels, meaning someday you might have something like a farm tower in your community that is used to grow the fuel that primarily runs your cars.

Other possibilities for this breakthrough might lead to hospitals one day being able to grow plants in their own on-site farm towers that can be converted to a much wider range of inhouse medicine production than previously imagined. Coupling this technology with chemical 3D printing, going to your neighborhood medical manufacturing center icould become a potential reality in the next few decades. The center might have a couple of farm towers attached to some processing centers and 3D print stations, ready at a moment’s notice to print on demand the medical needs of the community.

Bioprocess for converting plant materials into valuable chemicals — ScienceDaily

A team of scientists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign developed a bioprocess using engineered yeast that completely and efficiently converted plant matter consisting of acetate and xylose into high-value bioproducts.

Lignocellulose, the woody material that gives plant cells their structure, is the most abundant raw material on Earth and has long been viewed as a source of renewable energy. It contains primarily acetate and the sugars glucose and xylose, all of which are released during decomposition.

In a paper published in Nature Communications, the team described its work, which offers a viable method for overcoming one of the major hurdles impeding the commercialization of lignocellulosic biofuels — the toxicity of acetate to fermenting microbes such as yeast.

“This is the first approach to demonstrate the efficient and complete utilization of xylose and acetate for the production of biofuel,” said food science and human nutrition professor Yong-Su Jin. An affiliate of the Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology, Jin led the research with then-graduate student Liang Sun, the first author of the paper.

Son of Legendary Mujahideen Commando Resists Taliban in the Panjshir Valley

Freedomist Editor August 23, 2021

PGC – A last remnant of Taliban resistance in Afghanistan remains in the Panjshir Valley, in the Northeastern regiion of the embattled country. A legend in his own right, Ahmad Massoud, the leader of what the Taliban themselves refer to as the Panjshir state, is also the son of a legendary mujahideen Fighter and Commando Ahmad Shah Massoud, who was assassinated just before the successful 9/11 assault on America led by Osama Bin Laden.

The American military appears not to be a factor in the fate of this holdout area within Afghaanistan that has managed to muster a resistance force of some 9.000 fighters peppered throughout the mountains that catacomb the valley the Taliban must walk into and claim.

Afghanistan Crisis: Panjshir, north of Kabul, is long known as an anti-Taliban bastion.

Dubai:

The Taliban said on Sunday that “hundreds” of its fighters were heading to the Panjshir Valley, one of the few parts of Afghanistan not yet controlled by the group.

Since the Taliban overran Afghanistan, flickers of resistance have begun to emerge with some ex-government troops gathering in the Panjshir, north of Kabul, long known as an anti-Taliban bastion.

“Hundreds of Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate are heading towards the state of Panjshir to control it, after local state officials refused to hand it over peacefully,” the group wrote on its Arabic Twitter account.

Since the Taliban took control of the country following a lightning charge into the capital Kabul, thousands of people have made their way to Panjshir, according to a spokesman for anti-Taliban forces.

In Panjshir, Ahmad Massoud, the son of legendary mujahideen commander Ahmad Shah Massoud who was assassinated by Al-Qaeda two days before the September 11, 2001 attacks, has sought to assemble a force of around 9,000 people to counter the terrorists, the spokesman, Ali Maisam Nazary, told AFP.

Chinese State News Gets Preferential Treatment from Our

Twitter and Facebook Like China Better than They Like Americans

Freedomist Editor August 23, 2021

PGC – China’s state news media outlets are clearly dedicated to spreading misinformation on a daily basis that serves the interests of one man, Chairman Xi, the absolute fascistic dictator of China and head of the Chinese Communist Party, the big brother of the American Democrat National Committee. These organizations are given free reigh on American social media platforms, operated, owned, and run by human beings who openly hate America, the Bill of Rights, and liberty in general. These platforms regularly remove American citizens from their platforms for allegedly spreading misinformation while they continue to allow an enemy of the American people, the CCP (DNC ally and inspiration), to spread disinformation on their platform designed to destroy the American democratic republic limited by a bill-of-rights-based constitution.

They win because they have allies in our boardrooms, not because they’re clever. They’re jsut really good at offering bribes, like access to a massive money-making market in exchange for acting more in line with the CCP than our own Bill of Rights.

US Claims It’s Protecting Afghanis By Scrubbing the Internet of the Afghan War

Freedomist Editor August 23, 2021

PGC – The United States State Deparment has made it clear it is attempting to delete from the Internet the history of the Afghan War in the name of protecting the Afghanis who stood with the US against the Taliban. The move could be on its face just what it says it is, but given the nature of an emboldened state that now has the full coopreation of the massive corpostates that support and enable it, and even move coervcively against its opponents in ways the state itself can’t, one should be paying close attention to attempts by this government to gaslight Americans into being whatever the state wants to believe about what actually happened in Afganistan.

America’s war in Afghanistan is vanishing from the internet. Federal agencies are wiping websites of videos, articles, and photos and saying it must be done to protect the lives of the Afghans left behind who may face retaliation from the Taliban.

State Department Spokesperson Ned Price told the Associated Press that the process of scrubbing online evidence of Afghans working with coalition forces “is of the utmost importance” and that State’s policy is “only to remove content in exceptional situations like this one. In doing so, department personnel are following records retention requirements.”

The United States Agency for International Development—the agency in charge of much of the more than $100 billion America spent reconstructing Afghanistan—is also purging records. “Given the security situation in Afghanistan, and out of an abundance of caution for the safety of our staff, partners, and beneficiaries, we are reviewing USAID public websites and social media…

Black Man Gets CRT Cancelled from His California School District

Freedomist Editor August 23, 2021

PGC – The American standards of the Bill of Rights are under direct assault as DNC operatives and their fanatical true believers attempt to coercively unleash on American chidlren an ideology of hate and bigotry that promises to end evil by perpetuating worse evil than the evil they profess to be fighting. It will be our immigrants, it will be our very disenfranchised that will see more clearly than the white suburban ‘allies’ could ever see, just how dangerous it is to go down the road of defining humans based on their race,their gender, their sexual orientation, etc.

One person that fits into that category is the black man, who has faced centuries of real discrimination that has performed habits of action that continuously diminishes their agency and their humanity. One black man sees that the ones promising him relief from this real injustice are worst than the injustice he actually faces. This black man went to a school board meeting in his California School District and layed out just how damanging this ideology of hate and fear is not just to the people it allegedly targets (white heterosexual males and cisgendered females) but it also diminishes the agency and humanity of the people it allegedly is seeking to rescue.

If Whie Americans were as truly “woke” (not Orwellian woke, as the CRT folks are), then this whole awful experiment would be over, and we could get to the adult business of actually righting the injustices of the past, and the ones still occuring.

Black Father’s Impassioned Plea on Critical Race Theory Leads School District to Ban It – RedState

And another one bites the dust.

A black father in Colorado delivered an emotional speech in which he thoroughly destroyed Critical Race Theory during a school board meeting last week — for which he earned a standing ovation from other parents. Moments later, the board members voted to ban CRT in the district.

Coincidental? Dunno.

But I do know the number of school boards — and states — banning CRT continues to increase, as more and more angry parents speak out against the radical-left orthodoxy, which teaches (indoctrinates) that “virtually all white people contribute to racism” — simply and solely by virtue of the color of their skin, and as a result must spend their entire lives atoning to people of color for the “sin” of being born white.
