For daring to believe homosexuality is a sin, one Finnish Politician is at risk of going to jail, and her Lutheran family are not happy about it.
Regardless of what you believe, if you favor criminalizing people for calling homosexuality is a sin, you favor tyranny, for the tyrant won’t stop using the power you gave them, to define ‘proper thinking.’
Lutheran bishops have decried the “egregious” actions of Finland in prosecuting a Christian politician over her views on sexuality and marriage.
Päivi Räsänen, a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland and former Minister of the Interior, has been charged with hate speech against homosexuals.
The charge is in connection to her views on sexuality expressed on social media, a talk show, and in a 2004 booklet called “Male and Female He Created Them.”
If found guilty, she faces up to six years in prison.
The decision to prosecute has been condemned by the International Lutheran Council (ILC), who called it outrageous and unfair.

Lost in the angry retorts by those opposed to the Covid-19 vaccines is a simple truth: over 99% of recent Covid-19 deaths are unvaccinated individuals. To argue “the vaccine doesn’t work” is a misnomer. But this isn’t the heart of the problem. The heart of the problem is the potential long-term effects of this virus and its long-term success at mitigating the virus.
The real tragedy may be that people who are reasonable and well-educated might reject an otherwise perfectly safe vaccine and then get sick and die without protection. On the other hand, upon what do they have to base their trust: the drug companies, the government, their doctors who depend on the former two for reliable information?
The thing is we SHOULD be able to rely on drug companies and the government for reliable information but we really cannot at this time. The corruption of corporate heads and politicians and their willingness to lie and deceive for self-gain, regardless of the consequences to others, is beyond comprehension.
It’s the opposite of “the boy who cried wolf”, it’s a case where “the boy who cried ‘sheep’ where it was really a wolf!” It may truly be a sheep, but many don’t trust the boy!
Trying to suss out the credibility of claims about the vaccine is difficult because we cannot know if all data needed to make an informed decision is accurate or even available. We know the parties asking us to trust them aren’t trustworthy.
We also know that, for now at least, the vaccine has been shown to prevent serious illness and death. This is a good reason to take the vaccine. The slowness of the FDA in approving the vaccine, the unwillingness of all parties to assume responsibility or make guarantees regarding the vaccine’s effectiveness, and the unavoidable fact this was a rush effort all cause hesitancy.
The response to the hesitant has only made matters worse. Shunning, shaming, and bullying are not useful.
The spread of false information attacking the vaccine has only made matters worse, but these falsehoods are thriving because of factors the powers that be could mitigate. The FDA could stop dragging its feet and either approve vaccine or stop its use, whatever the facts dictate. Someone, anyone, could actually assume legal responsibility for any harm caused if we find, like the polio vaccine, the vaccine is tainted. The government could come clean on the polio vaccine and its true impact.
People will likely die without the vaccine but mostly because the way this roll-out has been conducted doesn’t engender a level of confidence necessary to earn universal compliance.
The dramatic fire that destroyed the USS Bonhomme Richard was, according to the Navy, allegedly started by a sailor. While the sailor’s idenity has not been revealed, and formal court martial has yet to be announced, it appears this was an act of sabotage. Moreover, their is evidenced of 3 different fires on theee different vessels in San Diego over a 15 month period prior to this major fire.
“The sailor was a member of Bonhomme Richard’s crew at the time and is accused of starting the fire,” Cmdr. Sean Robertson, a U.S. 3rd Fleet spokesperson in San Diego, said in a statement.
The charges “were brought forth against a Navy sailor in response to evidence found during the criminal investigation into the fire started on USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6) on July 12, 2020.” The charges against the seaman apprentice are aggravated arson under Article 126 of the Unifrom Code of Military Justice and hazarding a vessel under Article 110.
“Evidence collected during the investigation is sufficient to direct a preliminary hearing in accordance with due process under the military justice system,” Robertson said.
“Vice Adm. Steve Koehler, who commands 3rd Fleet, is considering court-martial charges and has directed a preliminary hearing at which an impartial hearing officer will make determinations and recommendations required by the UCMJ prior to any further trial proceedings – including whether or not there is probable cause to believe an offense has been committed and to offer a recommendation as to the disposition of the case.”
The sailor, a Seaman Apprentice, had been held in custody at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, Calif., before being released in November. At this time they are not in custody.

What could some of the motives be? Some possibilities include a sailor disgruntled by the stress of being 2 years in dry dock and facing a deployment, a stressful scenario for many sailors. It could also be more ideological, ranging from right to leftwing radicalism, or even anger over the Navy’s constant and distracting “diversity training” which is clearly ideological brainwashing rather than useful instruction.
One possibility is that the Navy has a simmering problem with morale. We have already seen reports that morale is low, largely effected by the obsession of the command with convincing sailord to “bow to the rainbow” rather than focusing on combat readiness. The ability of sailors today to fight their ships is decidedly decreased over what it was 20 years ago.
This could either cause an angry reaction that, well not at all justified, is somewhat predictable. In that case, if indeed the sailor was disgruntled about the rainbow fascist indoctrination, the likely results could range from cover-up to conceal the problem to exploitation of the crime to double-down on the rainbow fascist indoctrination.
In the event the crime was motivated by leftwing or Islamist ideology, the true nature will be concealed with a focus on the sailor’s mental health.
The outstanding question is whether the Navy, in part through its obsession with ideological indoctrination, is brewing a massive morale problem that could lead to such acts of sabotage. This could either be a result of sailors’ trained to essentially hate their own country may be radicalized or because angry sailors rejecting ideological indoctrination lash out by committing crimes like this.
The opacity of the process by which this has been investigated and the fact the identity of the sailor is concealed and formal charges (as in a court martial) not brought, leads one to believe the actual circumstances and motive surrounding this incident are not useful to the Navy brass’s narrative.
In our society, according to the powers that be, the scope of your “freedom” as a wealth producing worker is strictly limited to how you choose to sexually pleasure yourself! Everything else is off the table because all you are ever allowed to be is a mindless, alt-gendered, undifferentiated and atomized commodity the ruling class can buy and sell. It is in fact the greatest crime against humanity in world history.
Bill Collier- I have never been a blue collar worker, except briefly as a teenager in a major printing firm, I have always been in sales and/or marketing and producing content with my brain. While I believe my efforts are beneficial to society, I am concerned that the economic structure of our civilization tends toward empowering governments and mega corporate ownership over the greatest producers of wealth, the workers.
On one hand, would-be blue collar business owners are encumbered with red tape that smothers them with regulations and then sucked dry with taxes that transfers wealth from workers to government bureaucrats and favored groups and backers of those in power. On the other hand, thanks to collusion and the concentration of ownership in business from the many to the few, the exploitation of workers and the limitations on their options keeps the average worker in their place with few real options.
Thanks to a relatively free market capitalism, we might say a 70% capitalism, outside the business enterprise, we see real wealth even for those on the bottom grow even as the gap between an average producer of wealth and the “owners” of the enterprise grows staggeringly in favor of the ruling class.
Quite simply, the free market capitalist system and ethos stops at the company door. Inside, the entire structure resembled a neofuedal satrapy lorded over by one or a few ultra wealthy people filled with hubris, ego, and a lust for greater conquests at the expense of average people.
Today’s wealthy ownership class who control most shares have become the most greedy and self-absorbed group of people in human history. Their constant virtue-signalling over social and cultural issues of no concern to working people or consumers may either be an outgrowth of their desire to control their world or an effort to paint themselves in a more favorable light regardless of their rapacious appetite.
The core principles of free market capitalism don’t apply to the worker or to the interior of the corporation that uses workers as a commodity. The very concept of “human resources” reduces workers to a “resource” of no concern to the owners, a commodity to be bought and sold for maximum gain to its owners. The mentality is truly “we the majority shareholders own you the actual wealth producer and can buy and sell you for our benefit alone.”
Even as these ruling class snobs act like they own human beings, pushing them into increasingly inhumane conditions that violate their very human dignity, they deign to dictate culture and to punish those mere serfs on their fiefdoms who don’t comply with their radical plans to produce an alt-gendered, undifferentiated and atomized mass of poor working slaves who have no faith and no family and little real agency beyond their sexual gratification.
Ask yourself why the ruling class, the great reset people who don’t want you owning anything, so desperately push woke cancel culture as an assault on traditional faith and family.
You think you and all your pronouns, your whole alt-gendered undifferentiated atomized self, isn’t exactly what the new robber barons want?
They ALL push your “edgy” ideas and even deplatform those who don’t think we need 500 “genders” or to abandon faith and family. The ruling class favor your “edgy” ideas and punish people who don’t agree with you and you are too arrogant to see how you are being played.
Nobody cares what you identify yourself as or who you love, they just want to be a part of that. What we do want and demand is equal respect for our views and legal sanction and protection for our way of life, which is rooted in faith and family according to millenia of moral and doctrinal orthodoxy.
It’s amusing how people being transformed into serfs by the ruling class can’t see how all their “edgy” ideas are quite literally created, favored, and imposed by those who wish to enslave them. You hate God, your traditional parents, your country, and tradition itself and you imagine you are free and advancing into the future toward a new evolution of humanity. You aren’t. It’s just the latest slaver trick to turn you into a lust-craved animal whose only desires are limited to shallow self-pleasure.
Again, NOBODY CARES about your pronouns or what gender you are today or who you sleep with or love. Nobody. But we do care about deeper and more important things and while you can do as you like, we just won’t play your little game or buy into your cultural concepts, which we find destructive and more conducive to slavery. We are FOR our way of life and for total freedom for all, we are not against your way of life or how you define yourself or who you love.
The issue here is not whether you can decide things like sexuality or gender or whatever on your own terms, it is whether anyone is allowed any greater freedom than this and whether those whose values are rooted in faith and family are treated equally and fairly or whether they are somehow forced to adopt the new atomized alt-gendered “culture” on pain of being canceled if they don’t.
Workers, the real producing class, lose agency and increasingly, after decades of advancement, face real contractions of wealth, home ownership, and agency which also destroy their dignity and violate their basic human rights. The great reset equals the cultural demise of faith and family as a means of pushing workers into serfdom. The entire purpose of the rainbow dictatorship over culture, aiming at faith and family and creating an alt-gendered undifferentiated and atomized mass of serfs, is to enslave almost everyone save the ruling class!
The ruling class, working through both parties normally, has also hit on the idea of a new form of communism, combining the “woke” propaganda of rainbow dictatorship with a collaboratively planned monopoly economy in partnership between the corporate ownership class and the top politicos. Woke communism is the transfer of wealth from the many to the few all while invoking the language and utopian promises of socialism and all while destroying faith and family through a new push to impose an alt-gendered over-sexualized culture that turns most people into little more than animals in constant heat!
Workers are the true producers of wealth and our top-down, centralized planned economic hegemony doesn’t respect them at all. The ruling class in this country are working toward a day when you own nothing, when you are owned, and your only “freedom”, is to have sex with anyone or anything that suits your hyper-sexualized desires.
Concentration of wealth and assaults on faith and family are all part of a grand scheme by the ruling class to turn workers into serfs. People like Bezos, Zuckerberg, Tim Cook, Warren Buffet, et al, all agree with the great reset, all promote “woke” cancel culture assaults on faith and family, and all tend to support a one-party rule over America that favors them and turns workers into undifferentiated atomized individuals who are mere cogs in the machine.
All the “edgy” people armed with a dizzying array of pronouns, think they are the future and the next evolution. But this uncultured attempt to turn every person into an over-sexed, atomized, and undifferentiated being without agency is as old as slavery itself. It is the past, it is barbarism, and it is devolution that shows total contempt for the workers.
The moratorium on evictions, which was created by the CDC during the height of the pandemic outbreak, has ended in part due to a Supreme Court ruling saying the CDC has no authority doing this and because Congress could not pass an emergency measure extending the moratorium.
There are over 5.7 million Americans behind on their rent and over $20 billion in rent is past due. What is concerning to many is that despite all these federal payouts in the trillions nothing was provided to assuage the problem, as in the $20 billion in unpaid rent which caused real financial problems for landlords.
Why were there no provisions to assist small landlords who could not afford to weather losing so much income in order to keep the real estate market more stable? The answer is that the ruling class are positively hostile to anyone save the very rich owning real estate in this country, their goal being the end of private ownership outside of government and mega corporate entities they, the ruling class, control.
Landlords, many of whom are middle class owners of one or a few properties, have been unprotected and losing money while renters have been unable to make ends meet due to the government mandated lockdowns of the entire population. The balance between the landlords who went without income and the renters who lost income had never been struck.
The moratorium didn’t end the running up of a tab, renters who didn’t pay anything still owe full rent for all those months. In some cases, renters have actually abused the property and took advantage of the situation and could not be evicted even in those cases.
But many landlords are also major owners of multiple properties and renting homes to the massss has become an industry of its own, often offering poorer quality residences for increasingly high costs to maximize profits. These speculative landlords drive up prices for housing, making it more difficult for the lower income among us, which, ironically, means the same house or apartment they overpay to rent cannot be bought even if they have been renting it for years.
Home ownership is an essential elment in achieving total material independency but too many obstacles to home ownership, including how we do credit checks, taxes, and real estate speculation are making home ownership impossible for poorer people and the young.
Sympathy for the landlords is just not there because most people see a typically wealthy owner of multiple properties who overcharges renters and speculatively buys multiple properties, driving up prices which hurts the very people forced to rent from them. But many other landlords are not rich people or speculative real estate buyers, they are average people who may rent out a room or a guest house or property they inherited.
The collision now between landlords of every type and renters who have either been unable or unwilling to pay is real and the potential for a new housing crisis, not to mention a rush on the courts, is substantial. Could the smaller landlords be forced out of their business only to see mega corporate landlords take over more property and continue a trend away from individual ownership to corporate ownership of real estate?
The “great reset” claims “you will own nothing and like it”, and the disorganized way this moratorium is ending may contribute even more to the transfer of wealth and ownership from the many to the few. This does not bode well for the cause of promoting individual material independency as a means of increasing freedom for all.
Legally, this moratorium was unfounded and many renters did in fact receive substantial federal money allegedly to sustain themselves, so at least some payment to these landlords could have been made. But the entire issue points to the core problem that property ownership itself is in jeopardy and the rules, laws, and regulations as well as taxes surrounding property ownership are more conducive to the concentration of ownership in few hands than the material independency of individuals.
Bill Collier- My hesitancy on the vaccine is more rooted in the rather outlandish and, frankly, authoritarian responses and the refusal to countenance real questions, than anything else. Add to that the fact this is a new vaccine, the same government pushing this has done some really awful things, and the fact now things shifted from the vaccine providing immunity to now vaccinated people have to mask up again.
The “vaccine fascists” need to re-learn the American’s Creed to understand why bullying, shaming, and coercing undermine confidence and only engender resistance. The homeland of “give me liberty or give me death” isn’t going to, I hope, give up on its essential creed, not even for a virus that has a less than half percent mortality rate.
I genuinely feel there is no real overwhelming guarantee this thing is as beneficial as claimed in the long term or that it may not have some serious problems. I may be wrong, but claling me a conspiracy theorist or canceling me will not only fail to convince me and be morally reprehensible for you to do, it will convince others this whole vaccine regimen isn’t to be trusted.
I can be convinced. I do notice that 99% of recent deaths are people without the vaccine. But, honestly, will this remain the same? It was also reported the Delta variant is more lethal, exact numbers not explained, and more contagious. This is also concerning.
Browbeating me or mandating this only fills me with alarm. Again, I DO NOT TRUST a government that has repeatedly and dangerously lied to me all my life! Too often the government claims their measures are beneficial and decades later Congress passes a resolution begging forgiveness.
The much vaunted polio vaccine infected almost 100 million people with a cancer-causing virus, but to this day the government, the same one extolling the vaccine of the hour, refuses to seriously study and reveal how many lives were lost or how many people got cancer and had their lives ruined. How can we take them seriously?
My hesitancy decreases and I am ready to start the process, then some authoritarian nub screeches terrible things about the unvaccinated being worse than Satan, or something outlandish like that, and I recoil. I don’t know why the ruling class are so adamant about this but I doubt anyone, ever, thinks these louts care about anything but being more powerful. But the fact there is such a full press on and it has so many authoritarian features fills me with dark suspicion.
The trend further away from treating people with dignity and respect, tolerance for all views and creeds, and respect for human rights, amd the trend toward ever more partisan and authoritarian responses meant to gain political advances, has consequences. A plurality of people, who are already demonized by the leftwing authoritarians for not being “woke” enough, just can’t see why they should trust people who call them nazis and racists at the slightest hint of disagreement!
Vaccines may indeed eliminate this vurus as a serious threat. The unvaccinated may spur new varieties that can render the vaccine useless for everyone else. This is a real concern. On the other hand, unlike polio, which had a 5-10% mortality, this virus has a very small mortality rate. What this means is that if we discover, too late to fix it, that all these vaccines do real long-term harm, we could see more harm done by the vaccines than by the virus over, say, a 30 year period.
I am not claiming we will see such harm. But, in light of the government’s predilection to lying, and in light of the continued refusal to face the truth about tainted polio vaccines, being skeptical seems quite reasonable. I am proposing that polling back the demonizing and authoritarianism, on all fronts, may be far more conducive to winning people over to get the vaccine. Doubling down on the hate and authoritarianism will only further fragment society and increase distrust.
This notion a few talking heads are convincing people the vaccine will make them grow two heads and that’s why some remain skeptical is garbage. It’s like when someone is not complying with your wishes and you accuse them of letting someone else convince or control them instead assuming they can think for themselves based on the facts as they see them.
Perhaps the accusers bear the mental illness of letting others dictate their beliefs through propaganda and are just projecting on to others. But trying to convince me this is safe in the long-term, as well as effective, means total transparency, being treated with dignity, and a total commitment to my right to choose my health options.
I want to believe this is safe and effective but when the argument against any questions about these things is canceling people, authoritarianism, and constant one-sided propaganda, it’s not conducive to building trust. When I see everyone, from government to the manufacturers, is absolved of all responsibility if it does you harm, this is disconcerting. Everyone demands we take the vaccine but offers neither an iron-clad guarantee nor assumes accountability and responsibility if they fail to deliver.
I may get the vaccine. I am praying God protects me if I do and even if, once again, we find the government failed, the vaccine didn’t work or was tainted, and the government tries desperately to cover it up for 40 years before Congress passes a resolution apologizing for our country’s misdeeds.
According to TFI Global, an India-based global news service, citizens of Iran are beginning to openly shun authoritarian Islam. The anti-regime protests are in their third week, despite violent responses, mostly over such things as lack of water due to a nationwide draught, lack of electricity, and Iran’s foreign policy which sees billions of dollars wasted on adventures that do not serve the Iranian people.
Demonstrators in major Iranian cities have called for the death of their leaders and an end to the religious system. One common cry is “no Gaza, no Lebanon, I sacrifice my soul for Iran”, a cry that has surfaced in almost every protest since the massive 2009 protests. For the most part, Democrats has essentially been soft on or turned a blind eye to such protests, for instance in 2009 President Obama did nothing to show any tangible support for the protests.
Deaths, injuries, and widespread arrests and detentions are continuously happening as vans show up in neighborhoods and pull out 500 activists at a time and then disappearing them. Far from causing the protests to stop without their now detained leaders, new leaders keep stepping forward and the protests persist. One openly wonders if some Democrats look on this oppression and wish they too could round up their opponents, based on the rhetoric of many Democratic leaders and the press who are using January 6th as a casus belli to oppress all Republicans.
It is hard to predict the stability of the regime which is being propped up by Russia and China and which the current US Administration seems to tacitly support and is willing to “negotiate with” to ease sanctions and further boost the regime. The alliance of authoritarians from China and Russia and even America’s Democratic Party establishment against freedom sees three distinctly different forms of authoritarianism colluding to prop up yet a fourth version of authoritarianism. It seems that what connects them is a fundamental belief that the few should lord over the many and that this is best for stability.
From America’s secular hedonism to Iran’s Islamist cultism, the common theme is that whatever the ruling class believes must and can be imposed by force on everyone. Any authoritarian government, or would-be authoritarians (the US is not an authoritarian state despite the outlandish and fantastical aspirations of the Democratic Party establishment and its lunatic fringe base), would naturally react against any popular uprising. This is the reason why the Democrats cannot bring themselves to side with the Iranian people in a meaningful and substantive way.
Azadi, meaning freedom, is the craving of what appears to at least be a growing plurality of Iranians and any craving for total freedom will be shunned by every authoritarian of every stripe, on principle. The problem for Azadi in Iran is that the movement is not presently capable of meeting force with force and nor does it have any tangible support from any outside power.
A New York Times reporter who covers the Justice Department, Katie Benner, and DNC party aperachik low-renter, released a series of Tweets on June 28th, 2021, in response to the House Select Committee on UnDNCism, aka the Jaunary 6th Committee.
In the first tweet, she stated her belief that it would be appropriate, against the backdrop of the Capitalstag Fire, that is, January 6th, to consider a politician’s supporters to be enemies of the state:
Today’s #January6SelectCommittiee underscores the America’s current essential natsec dilemma: Work to combat legitimate national security threats now entails calling a current politician’s supporters enemies of the state
She followed that up with a tweet that first articulated the American standard of not using state power to target political oppontents, but, well, in light of the Capitalstag Fire, well, maybe we should consider this basic bulwark against the tyranny of a state that would usurp a republican bill-of-rights-based form of government.
As Americans, we believe that state power should not be used to work against a political figure or a political party. But what happens if a politician seems to threaten the state? If the politician continues to do so out of office and his entire party supports that threat?
She capped it all off by tacitly admitting that the Russia hoax and the impeachment hoaxes were both efforts by the state to essentially execute her desire in the previous tweet, to use the state to crush political dissent. But this was far worse than what she even proposed, as one part of the state used its state power to attack another part of the state for political ends, to silence opposition to the CCP-knockoff party, the DNC.
This dilemma was unresolved by the Russia probe and 2 impeachments. With many Republicans denying the reality of the Jan. 6 attack, I doubt the #January6thCommittee will resolve it either. That leaves it up to voters, making even more essential free, fair access to the polls.
Surprisingly, her tweets were deleted.
And if you think my characterizing the party she serves as the CCP-knockoff, it should be noted this reporter for the New York Times covering the inJustice Department formerly worked with a Chinese Communist Party publication, the Beijing Review.
“Katie Benner of Bloomberg joining The Times as a technology reporter.
She’s covered Wall Street and Silicon Valley. She’s been a magazine writer and a columnist. Early in her career she wrote for Beijing Review, and since last fall, she has been based in San Francisco for Bloomberg View.
In Chinese Communist Party style, after she lobbed her viral infections and they did their work of further demonizing half of America and inciting more DNC zealots to take lethal action, she deleted her tweets quietly and went about her day attempting to subvert and destroy the American republic.
Sometimes, ‘enemy of the state’ is defined merely by those who hold the authority of that state alone. For her sake, not ours, she better hope the DNC completes its power consolidation, for the next group of people are not long to suffer the abuses of this party machine.
While facing a Judicial Watch lawsuit for attempting to bar whites from interviewing her, Mayor Lori Lightfoot is once again stating she would do it all over again, she exclaimed, in a New York Times podcast this past Monday.
She added, in the podcast, “I’m unapologetic about it because it spurred a very important conversation, a conversation that needed to happen, that should have happened a long time ago,”
The following day, Judicial Watch entered amendments into the court records to their lawsuit against the anti-white, anti-bill-of-rights Mayor which consisted of this podcast transcription, adding to their claims she intended on excluding people from access to government based on race.
That’s what she did folks, as simple as that, and if you’re ok with that, well, you belong to the same group of racists that you imagine you are fighting.
Judicial Watch announced Tuesday that it has amended its lawsuit against Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, a Democrat who claims to be “unapologetic” about her previous policy of granting interviews only to journalists of color.
Lightfoot told The New York Times for a podcast released…
