The Ute Tribe, in the press release below, slams a woke leftist writer for daring to speak “outrage” in the Tribe’s name over the fact the University of Utah sports teams are called “The Running Utes.”
Virtue signaling that disrespects the tribe and could do real economic harm has no place in decent society where human dignity is mutually honored by all. But the wokatariate aren’t interested in justice, they are more about making themselves look good and enjoying the perverse power of canceling others and imposing their own unopopular anr dangerous ideas.
————
Luke Duncan chairman of the Ute Indian Tribe Business Committee, the governing body of the Ute Indian Tribe, has issued a press release scolding a woke activist and University of Utah emoloyee who “demands” the school stop using the Ute name.
The Ute tribe is made up of three bands: the Uintah, the Whiteriver and the Uncompahgre; two representatives from each band are elected to serve four-year terms on the Business Committee.
The tribe’s Uintah and Ouray Reservation is located in northeastern Utah, approximately 150 miles east of Salt Lake City. It’s the second-largest Indian reservation in the United States, covering more than 4.5 million acres.
Last month, The Salt Lake Tribune ran a commentary titled, “Time for the U. to Give up its Native American Nickname.” The author, a University of Utah employee named Christopher Mead, argued that the University of Utah needs to stop using the name “Running Utes.”
Our business committee, the elected governing body of the Ute Indian Tribe, was incensed and deeply troubled when we read the piece. Mead’s approach in raising this issue on behalf of our tribe, and the implicit attitude of saving the Ute people from themselves, lacks common sense. It undermines tribal rights, it causes conflict between native and non-native communities, and it negates our ability as a sovereign nation to make appropriate decisions for our people.
The Ute Indian Tribe is a major economic engine in northeastern Utah. We work closely with the state, local governments, and major institutions to address long-standing issues that range from preservation of cultural and environment resources to responsible energy development. These relationships are valuable to us, and an op-ed like Mead’s has a devastating impact on them, and on the trust we have built over many years.
Let us be clear. Only the Ute Indian Tribe can speak for itself. And regarding the matter at hand, the Ute Indian Tribe encourages the University of Utah to use our name for its sports programs.
Our tribe drafted the Athletics Naming Agreement, and the university has used the Ute name with our full support since 1972. In fact, we just renewed our memorandum of understanding in December for another five years, and we retain trademark rights to the Ute Proud name and imagery.
The relationship between the Ute Indian Tribe and the University of Utah is a long and valued one, and it’s a source of pride to our tribal members. Not only does it reflect our shared commitment to building genuine respect for and understanding of our tribe’s history, it also has significant educational benefits for our youth.
In a key part of the agreement, the university provides a Ute Proud education campaign (http://uteproud.utah.edu/) during the football, basketball, and gymnastics seasons. This campaign explains Ute Indian history and the Ute Indian Tribe’s cultural and economic contributions to the state.
The campaign also provides a code of conduct that educates sports fans about inappropriate behaviors that dishonor the Ute and other Native American populations. The Ute Indian Tribe assigns a tribal representative to work with the university to develop and approve all campaign elements.
Our tribe is well aware that this association with the University of Utah‚ the flagship institution of higher learning in our state — raises tribal visibility and community awareness. Once a year, the university’s halftime show incorporates a traditional powwow with appropriate and approved cultural tie-ins, providing a valuable opportunity to educate and promote understanding.
In addition, the university supports campus events to raise awareness of American Indian cultures, from the annual campus powwow to Native American Month. It has added educational materials about the Ute Indian Tribe to first-year student orientation, and it’s making those materials available through its American Indian Resource Center as well.
This is important to us, after enduring the devastating termination and assimilation policies of the last century. We will not be invisible, or erased.

The University of Utah recognizes that the Ute name is at the core of our tribe’s cultural identity and that of our members, and it constitutes an inseparable element of our rich cultural traditions. The university also has consistently expressed its honor in being allowed to use the Ute name with due respect and integrity.
We are a sovereign nation with an absolute right to self-determination. The Athletics Naming Agreement was ours to make, and it’s grounded in mutual respect. We will not accept efforts of non-natives, who do not know the history or understand the work we have done, calling for its demise.
By Bill Collier- We don’t trust any major “platform” or even any US or international institution, to tell the truth, to play fair, or to look out for the good of the people and we have very good reasons to exercise a healthy and robust level of skepticism.
The fact people trust our national and international establishment and its ruling class and that they are outraged others are skeptical is amazing! The “disinformation” and other labels designed to force-feed parroted lines and cancel the skeptical should be all the proof you need not to trust any of these people or institutions.
Misinformation is the new rallying cry for modern authoritarians, especially the monopolistic platform owners, who want to silence and disappear all dissent from the Democratic Party line. Those who doubt and dissent from the preachments of the intelligence community, the science community, health care institutions, the press, the platforms, academia, and the entertainment industry as well as near-monopoly corporations are accused of “misinformation” and “canceled.”
Put another way, the owners of the major platforms and the press are almost entirely partisan Democrats for whom the advancement of the Democratic Party is their greatest goal.
Honestly, WHY should you trust a government or any leading national or international institution after the last few decades of gross, dangerous, and outlandish lies going back to “weapons of mass destruction” and the so-called “Russia collusion” scandal? Why trust that anything these institutions say is reliable or even aboveboard?
The corruption of these institutions, whereby holders of power abuse their position and cover up their failures, is all-too well known. We cannot reasonably trust anything these institutions and their ruling class say or do as anything that is truly meant to enrich themselves and not the country or its people.
The truth is, the platforms especially, and all major institutions controlled by the Democratic Party, want to desperately avoid accountability and allow a group of less than 20 major power brokers determine who can speak and what they can say. In such an environment, when all the DNC-controlled institutions parrot the same lines, the thoughtful person has strong reasons to view such preachments with extreme caution. Quite simply, we know they lie, we know they suppress dissent, and we know they have demonstrated criminal incompetence that has caused hundreds of thousands of deaths.
Those who parrot all the typical lines coming from America’s neocommunist wokatariate, the wokecomms, and their Party, the Democratic Party, often pretend they are thinking for themselves and are somehow on the “cutting edge” or even “on the right side of history.” Everything from the alt gender rainbow intolerance for traditional views on marriage and family to the mass inoculations of the entire population over the pandemic, is colored by the desire of the ruling class to gain monopoly power once and for all.
It is not “radical” to say “I may not agree with what you say, but I’ll fight to the death form your ability to say it.” Now the Democratic Party and the institutions it controls, such as the US Capital Police and the CDC, want to tell us what kind of speech is permissible. They use hobgoblins and imaginary threats like white supremacy, hate speech, and misinformation but the only Party benefited by these arbitrary claims which they cannot support with logic or evidence are the billionaire owners of the Democratic Party.
If you consider yourself woke and then consider that all your major ideas and the things that animate you are quite literally being force-fed to the population while everyone who disagrees faces being canceled, don’t imagine you are on any cutting edge or that you are on the right side of history.
The ideas you parrot and think are so edgy are ideas that demand and require authoritarian measures to enforce them. For any decent, thinking person, this is itself proof that those ideas, including the whole alt gendered rainbow panapoly of identities and enforced compliance, and all the other mantras of the establishment, are garbage.
Skepticism about the preachments of the leading national and international institutions is reasonable and could be life-saving.
The Taishan Nuclear Power Plant in Guangdong province is leaking higher levels of radiation than are normally allowed according to recent reports. Problems were reported by the plant’s co-owner, Electrictie de France (EDF). EDF owns 30% of the plant.
Meanwhile, as the French company Framatone, which EDF has a 75% stake in, reaches out to the US for help they issued a statement that they are “supporting resolution of a performance issue with the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant in Guangdong Province, China. According to the data available, the plant is operating within the safety parameters. Our team is working with relevant experts to assess the situation and propose solutions to address any potential issue.”
But while the Biden administration is touting Chinese statements that “all is well”, Framatone has requested a special waiver allowing it to use American technology to help resolve the evolving “non-crisis”, a transfer of technology that would only be granted if there were an imminent crisis. The request and actions of the company versus the public statements of the company and the Chinese and American governments clearly don’t align with each other and this has people concerned.
The plant in located near Hong Kong and Shenzen on the Chinese coastline. A major radiological leak, evidently caused by a problem with a control rod, would impact over 100 million people and could possibly be a hazard well beyond China. Unit 2, which is the unit impacted, went offline this year for a refurbishment and was put back in operation on June 20, 2021. There is not explanation on what caused the refurbishment or if it was potentially the root of the problem.
The first unit, Taishan 1, entered commercial service in December 2018. The second unit, Taishan 2, entered commercial service in September 2019. The plant is the first in the world to use the new Evolutionary Power Reactor.
The EPR is a third generation pressurised water reactor design. It has been designed and developed mainly by Framatome (part of Areva between 2001 and 2017) and Électricité de France (EDF) in France, and Siemens in Germany. In Europe this reactor design was called European Pressurised Reactor, and the internationalised name was Evolutionary Power Reactor, but it is now simply named EPR.
EDF has acknowledged severe difficulties in building the EPR design. In September 2015, EDF stated that the design of a “New Model” EPR was being worked on, which will be easier and cheaper to build.
There is no word on whether the new design is a critical element here, but the fact the plant has only been operating for around 3 years and has had difficulties in a new reactor that is only two years old and has had a recent refurbishment has led to speculation.
The plant itself claimed, “Since it was put into commercial operation, the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant has strictly controlled the operation of the units in accordance with operating license documents and technical procedures. All operating indicators of the two units have met the requirements of nuclear safety regulations and power plant technical specifications.”
The Chinese government is widely known for suppressing negative news and shifting any blame. As a totalitarian regime which relies on force and fear more than voluntary loyalty and consent of the governed, the Chinese regime cannot afford PR nightmares.
This crisis is not close to the Chernobyl incident, but it is being watched by many as it is feared the present American administration is too unwilling to confront China, despite its rhetoric, on such sensitive issues. This lack of external pressure and willingness to demand answers may in fact lead to face-saving efforts by the Chinese which get in the way of safety measures that might resolve the situation.
The Upadaria platform is many things and it is at its heart a vision come true, a vision initially seen by first founder Willem IV (myself) in 1982. We can say that what we are building in terms of our platform and other genesis structures is designed as our best understanding of a God-ordained vision for a spiritual nation as the vanguard people of a new civilization. So to that degree, aligning these things with a vision that was tested against the Bible, logic, history, and science for 40 years, is actually our chief aim. We know that if we build according to God’s blueprint, good things will happen for everyone involved.
But the Upadaria Platform, called “The Virtual Commonwealth of Upadaria”, is a place that does three key things for its subscribers who purchase eResident and eCitizen subscription packages:
1. It provides useful and edifying content that subscribers can use in their daily life to build freedom and prosperity
2. It provides systemic and immersive learning experiences, through active participation and even role-playing, so that the individual subscriber can become more fulfilled and empowered
3. It provides virtual-to-local gathering and connections opportunities via social networking and e-commerce features that result in building your own network of fellow travelers whose beliefs, values, and convictions harmonize with your own
This latter aspect of the community is important. Through Upadaria you will experience life first in your own mind and imagination, we use the context and nomenclature of a future history written in 2147 to immerse yourself mind into a different, ideal reality. This is necessary to help you see past, through, and over all the artificial constraints and hindrances of the present sociocultural and socioeconomic situation.
Upadaria as a platform is, among other things, a virtual gathering place for people who want to adopt a spiritual nationality they can positively say is under the rulership of Yeshua, the Christ and Son of God. Being connected to such a nation of people, even though they own no land and have no political or military power, is a sure path to walking in those blessings and provisions reserve for such nations whose God is the Lord.
The immersive learning experiences and role-playing and the creation of this ideal persona within an ideal situation are not the goal. They get you to a different kind of goal that really amounts to establishing kinship type commuties of trust through freewill participation alone. More significantly, you find a community of people, some as virtual connections and some as local connections, with whom warm, accepting, and trust-based fraternal bonds can be made. In short, you experience warmth and acceptance.
From this, while not every subscriber will opt in, a nation of people emerges from within many lands and kindreds and among all the so-called “races.” Gathering hundreds of thousands of people, of whom some to many will choose become the genesis founders and builders of a new nation that is distributed all over the world, is not the only purpose of Upadaria. But it is a key purpose and we certainly want to be totally up front and transparent about that.
Over and over again we will say: we provide options, we don’t impose demands. We offer you things like our immersive learning experiences which are tailored to meeting real needs and improving your quality of life.
Even if at first you feel put off by the “role-playing”, it’s not just fun, it has a serious and transfigurative experience. It’s also a safe and easy way to build new and positive connections on the basis of recognizing and nurturing the person you ideally wish to become. We are certain that you will find this experience to be extremely welcoming and hopeful.
Upadaria will exist outside the realm of the establishment technocracy and its ecosystem but it is not just another alt tech platform free-for-all where anything goes. It is an experience like nothing else out there right now.
Coming in to Upadaria you are a refugee fleeing from some form of oppression or persecution during the timeline of events that led to the rise of a new national people and the emergence of a new civilization even as many of the older civilizations underwent downfall and/or upheaval. This “narrative history” informs our immersive learning experience, shapes the way our platform is run as well as its features and organization/governance, and even guides, albeit not literally, our actual real-world aims.
To see and experience, even if initially in imagination, what it is like to be part of a nation whose God is the Lord, to experience life within a Christ-centered and Kingdom-focused civilization, and to experientially learn how to manifest this inner, imagined reality into your life and relationships, is a truly innovative, original, and powerful thing.
You will learn these things in Upadaria and experience them, but you will also build real relationships and have real social and economic interactions with your fellow Upos, people who are eCitizens of the Virtual Commonwealth of Upadaria. Options such a earning digital credits, using currencies, and even our own cryptocurrency will give you new ways to advance your prosperity through participation in our internal economy.
Our platform is also designed to be as outward facing as it is private. In other words, if you want your content, like your blog or business listing, to be seen by the public and broadcast to the public, you can do that. But by default all groups and forums and your own content are limited to either your followers or the internal community. Your personal identity, which we can confirm so that people know you are real, is private. Your persona, your Upo self, has their own name which you will choose as and when you become a confirmed eCitizen.
There are basically three types of subscriptions; Guests who have a free visa and limited access, eResidents who pay $15/month for more expanded access and some features, and eCitizens who pay $45/month but for a whole experience and way to either promote themselves or use networking to advance their career, business, or ministry.
Different types of eCitizen are all the same price but are granted based on things you do to advance your status and standing and/or different charters or pledges based on your beliefs and convictions. The basic types include simple eCitizens whose only status is eCitizen, Freeholders who adopt the Freedomist Pledge, Ecclesians who are confirmed followers of Yeshua.(Christians of all denominations), Peers who are eCitizens that adopt the 17 Protocols of Upadaria, Electors who are Peers who formally joined the Upadarian Commonwealth Society International, and Nobles who are Electors who are advancing along “The Path of Honor.”
Lots of other ways to earn status and standing and be recognized for your achievements exist and, as the community grows, more benefits and features for all types of subscribers will be unlocked. Our purpose here it to foster personal growth, advancement, and development and to give many organic opportunities for people to build meaningful connections.
Immerse yourself into a new reality that transcends the present and unleashes who you truly are in all your God-ordained possibilities!
“Buying into” and virtually living out our narrative timeline is not mandatory, you can just become an e-Citizen and enjoy the features, the content, and social interactions through your profile and followers, your blog and other blogs, through the classified ads, the business directory, and through groups and forums. But if you really want Upadaria to be more than a good platform but something that inspires you and awakens your own inner and God-ordained dreams, then give the whole immersive learning experience thing a good try.
Why is Upadaria a paid platform and not open and free to all?
Essential to our vision is the creation of genesis structures which we believe are essential for comings times of crisis and to fund the first projects, like our world HQ, the first missionary and refugee support hubs, and other projects, mostly through a crowdfunding effort. While subscribing to Upadaria is worth it, it is also being part of a crowdfunding effort.
The second reason this is important is that we definitely do not want a wildly incoherent mass influx of million of free users who will require serious moderation and governance and who could literally just be trolls come to discredit us. The paid subscription model means that even if we see a large influx of people, we will always have the means to provide good moderation and governance and even to give them a personalized support system, like a Guide who may only service around 1200 subscribers (which is not as work intense as it may seem) or a volunteer Assistant Guide who may only serve 100 or fewer subscribers and earn perks within the platform.
Finally, but of equal importance, we don’t ever want to be beholden to corporate advertisers who will make demands on content and moderation that don’t align with our views or the interests of the kind of freedom seekers who tend toward being socially conservative that we expect to gather.
As we grow our support base we will explore ways to bring in people of more limited means and help them to eventually stand on their own and be able to afford a subscription. We will not leave people behind, and we offer plenty of free content on our main website, but initially we need to find people who can afford to subscribe and thereby back our overall vision.
Upadaria is neither a free speech platform nor is it in any way a place to bash other people. We are positively for our way of life, based on the 17 Protocols of Upadaria, but we are not against anyone else. We desire only freewill participation, not control or coercion, either for ourselves or others. Most of our content and activities center on a fictional future history written in 2147 AD. Most of our contemporary focus on politics in general is to promote ways for communities of people like those who embrace our intentional nationality to gain more sociocultural and socioeconomic autonomy within existing or new legal structures.
As to the whole Upadarian nationality, unless you are an Elector, as in a member of our international mutual benefit, missionary, and refugee society, you don’t have to literally consider yourself a Upadarian national in your “meta” life outside of Upadaria. But, on the other hand, anyone CAN choose to adopt this particular nationality by making a pledge between God and themselves alone to aspire to use and fulfill as many of these Protocols as God gives the means to do!
People don’t have to join Upadaria, as in the platform, to become a Upadarian by nationality. Additionally, people can only “adopt” this nationality for their “persona” without feeling like they have to transfer that identity into their meta reality. Moreover, people can be eCitizens of various types without even adopting the Upadarian nationality for their Upo Persona.
Everything we offer is on a “can do” as opposed to “must do”, basis and there are many ways to experience happy social and other interactions and benefits in your own way or through prescribed pathways. It’s always your choice and our hope is to give you good choices.
Upadaria isn’t for everybody. Our vision for web 3.0 is a diversity of niche communities eventually connected to a broad organic and decentralized ecosystem that will allow interconnections and cross-platform communications. Upadaria is our initial niche community, others, including free models based on other funding models, can either be created by us or nurtured and inspired by us which connect to a universal backbone not controlled by the establishment technocracy.
As for Upadaria, generally if you are more socially conservative, if you have a Judeo-Christian worldview, and if you are serious about fulfillment, being your best, and becoming prosperous and successful in an ethical manner consistent with your values, then Upadaria is going to be a good fit!
If you legitimately could be called a racist, a bigot, a totalitarian, a communist, a neonazi, a fascist, or a nationalist in a racial sense, then you will find Upadaria to be too “liberal” and “diverse” for your liking. We don’t bash, judge, or condemn others, we simply propose that “the Upadarian Way” is our sociocultural choice and norm and the basis of our freewill association.
We believe that the Upadaria Platform represents not simply a piece of new technology. It’s features may have an interesting application and feel, you be the judge, but it’s true innovations come through its people, connections, its learning experiences, and its virtual-to-local approach to gathering people for activities and functions.
We want the platform to be professional and highly functional and we will ever explore advancements in its technology, but we also believe that the cheif elements of value are a place where you can be accepted and valued, a place where you can experience warm and caring relationships, a place where you can find your true God-ordained purpose and potential, and a place where you can materially benefit from mutual support and commerce.
Upadaria isn’t anything you have ever experienced and while you can enter slowly and learn gradually, bit by bit in manageable pieces, there are many ideas, methods, and principles you can explore that could take you literally months or years to experience. It’s a whole vast new realm of new ideas and possibilities that you can adapt to your daily life as you choose.
Folks, this story right here is one of many, many such stories that is almost sure to unfold as people in power today find themselves vulnerable to the future competition, who will use whatever evidence they can find to undermine the power our current spate of banana republic dictators across this country possesses.
The Coronavirus lockdowns have created many opportunities for grift, for coercive monopoliziation, for the creation of non-competitive political power for a lot of local ‘leaders’ that have exposed the degraded state of political leadership in our country like nothing else in, arguably, the history of our nation.
In Michigan, it looks like some of these little tyrants with big dreams were caught converting virus bucks to bonus books for government officials. Whoever gets hold of this and wants those positions, or, if appointed, the position of the one that appoints, they’ve just been given the key to the armory, so to speak, with this bit of damning news.
The cost of lying and stealing is that you most never get to stop perpetuating coercive, deceptive action to continue to protect your dirty secrets from becoming known. This reality of power principle, the principle of ‘deception leads to coercion perpetually,’ is what’s at play here, in combination with another reality of power principle, ‘the lies you tell today will be the weapons of your enemies tomorrow.’
Politics is a blood sport, and even within parties, it’s not surprising to see purges and self-decapitations. But when your party is run on a moral supremacist shaming platform, well, that will attract the most vicious, vindictive, and self-serving amongst us, as the DNC most assuredly has (the top ranks among the activists who become politicians, not rank and file card carrying members of the DNC, the people who don’t influence the party, they just follow it).
Your close aids of today might tomorrow turn over the files that shows the grift your office committed during the golden days of the banana republicans, the days of the Covid lockdown. These next few years promise to see a slow trickling out of similar stories until one day when a political power coalesces that can fundamentally challenge the DNC, then, well, both parties, the DNC AND the RNC will most likely have a lot of weapons to be used against them, lies they told in Coronavilles that are no longer able to be hidden.
Elected officials in a Michigan county gave themselves bonuses with federal relief money related to the coronavirus pandemic

CORUNNA, Mich. — Elected officials in a Michigan county gave themselves $65,000 in bonuses with federal relief money related to the coronavirus pandemic.
The money, described as “hazard pay,” included $25,000 for Jeremy Root, chairman of the Shiawassee County…
For some reason, Iran has sent ships to the Baltic Sea….for some reason. The Danes have sussed them out and they are none-too-pleased to find the Iranians in waters that don’t seem to be directly relevent to the geopolitical reality of Iran.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The Danish military said Thursday it spotted an Iranian destroyer and a large support vessel sailing through the Baltic Sea, likely heading to Russia for a military parade in the coming days.
The Danish Defense Ministry posted photographs online from the Royal Danish Air Force of the new domestically built Iranian destroyer Sahand and the intelligence-gathering vessel Makran passing by the Danish island of Bornholm.
Bobby Bilylhead just tweeted that the DNC pretty much owns all of MSM, except for Fox News, which is totally not a token opposition network at all, totally.
Ok, so it wasn’t Bobby Billyhead that did it, but somehow I feel that’s what the name should have been, and the tweet should have been from one of these elite DNC kids’ half-botoxed kids sperging on the interwebs at 2 in the morning, but somehow some ‘rightwing rag’ picked up the tweet and ran with it.
Nope. This was from a current member of government, one of the elite DNCers themselves, tweeting in the daylight, under no influence of drugs (presumably), again, in broad daylight, the truth about the real MSM, which is the agit prop weapon of war of the DNC, the party that seems to derive its inspiration and ideas from the CCP, not anything approaching democracy, and definitely not in any remotely liberal republican sense of the values and standards of the nation-state this party alleges to rule.
This person was Nikki Fried, the Florida Agricultuyre Commissioner seeking to become its next governor, who will heretofor be referred to as Bobby Billyhead so long as the breathe in my body. Fact She writes like Chairman Mao, but with less power.
In an act of striking transparency, Florida Agricultural Commissioner and self-proclaimed “qualified candidate for governor” Nikki Fried accidentally admitted that the corporate media is controlled by the Democratic Party.

A Chinese prosecutor has been accused of travelling to America to direct a harassment campaign against a US resident and his family, and then ordering the destruction of evidence related to those actions, according to the US Justice Department.A superseding indictment was filed in federal court on Thursday against a group of nine individuals, including the Chinese prosecutor, who are believed to have conspired as part of the Chinese government’s “Operation Fox Hunt” programme targeting…
Proscription lists were a big thing in Roman Republican times. The dictator, consul, whoever managed to represent power in Rome, might write out a list of names of people that are earmarked for death or exile (which also meant property confiscation).
This was not the only civilization to have used this method of informing a group of people it was time to die or leave because the person in power hates you now, but it might have been one of the more showy examples of the use of such a political weapon of war.
As of late, however, America is looking to dethrone Rome as the showiest executor of Proscription List politics, where we start with people who SAY immoral things by our definition and we extend those lists out to cover ANYONE who supports ANYONE on the proscription list of choice.
Fortunately, here in America there is no one power that has such absolute control over a land as the dictators (de facto or self-identifying) of Rome had, at least over those seven hills where the other peole of power also lived. But the internet has put all of us right next to each other, and we can kill people these days without actually altering their physical state, at least not directly.
We kill your ability to make a living, to be a member of society. The We being the people who gain the most out of the continued use of proscription lists in our ‘marketplace of ideas.’
Now, this proscription listing is turning on the billionaires themselves, many of whom have been enabling this behavior by negotiating or capitulating to the proscriptioners (I think that’s a great name for them) altogether. They’ve even been funding the special interest groups that also utilize the proscriptioning method of politicking within the confines of an alleged republic.
And now, the proscriptioners are coming for them, and, whatever you feel about these enablers of the very beast that looks to gouge them, this should make you worry about the chances we might have getting this ship back on some semblance of a Federal republic with a Bill of Rights core course, for now the proscriptioners are looking to ultilze corporate power to attack corporate power over who you support politically. It is no longer corporately viable to support any party but the DNC.
This article that calls for the billionaires to be sussed out and destroyed is written in Forbes. Yes, I realize Forbes has laregly degenerated to mostly a blog that represents a vast array of humans of vastly different views, but that name, Forbes, for the casual, still means something significant as far American republicanism is concerned, so to see an article like this appear in a publication with that legacy branding concerns me, for now we are attempting to normalize among the so-called Rule of Law group a countenance of the use of corporate banning and social spamming to silence support for the only major political opposition to one party, the DNC.
It is as if the DNC crowd imagines they really are the vast majority with all the power, and sometimes, friends, we wonder if that just might be true. If you reject this type of politicking, proscriptionism, then don’t support corporate bannings and social shamings, even when it targets your own political enemies.
In January, 147 lawmakers in Congress voted against certifying the 2020 presidential election results. Above, legislators meet to count the Electoral College vote from the 2008 presidential election in January 2009.

At least 41 billionaires gave money over the last four months to legislators who voted against certifying the presidential election, according to a review of Federal Election Commission records filed in July.
It looks like the FTC folks of Biden are set to engage in a war against repair monopolies such as Apple and John Deere that prohibit anyone other than their approved repair agents from conducting the mostly costly repairs.
There has long been a movement out there called “The Right to Repair,” which has been sometimes successfully and sometimes not successfully, get states to pass laws that protect the right to repair your own property, the underlying extension of the assumed right to property this nation state has somewhat assumed to be the limits of its own, and anyone else’s power.
To see a Biden-led FTC pushing for the defense of the individual against the powerful is more than surprising to me, but, nonethless, I am extremely relieved to see some concept of individual liberty is useful for the Biden group to hold on to.
Never look a gift horse in the mouth is how the saying goes, but I say never look a gift horse in the mouth until you’ve receieved the gift, then look at that mouth all up and down to figure out what kind of gift you actually got.
To that end, we’ll be analyzing the potential interest that such a move serves the DNC and their front face, Team Biden. Still, we’ll take the gift, but we’re still checking out that mouth.
While unlawful repair restrictions have generally not been an enforcement priority for the
Commission for a number of years,4 the Commission has determined that it will devote more
enforcement resources to combat these practices.5 Accordingly, the Commission will now
prioritize investigations into unlawful repair restrictions under relevant statutes such as the
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act6 and Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act.
