The political weaponization of every institution they can get their hands on is the playbook of the woke communist core who run the Democratic Party and it appears, according to this report in REASON, that the woke communists have captured the United States Post Office for their political ends.
The report details an ongoing use clones, fake people posing as real people, hacking, and facial recognition software to focus on “the right”, especially on platforms they might frequent to both monitor and disrupt their activities. Literally, if this report is true, the Post Office is acting as a paramilitary cadre to the Democratic Party to disrupt their political foes.
It seems a sensational claim and we would caution more evidence and investigation is required, certainly by Republicans who are the alleged target of this rogue effort, if indeed all this is accurate reporting.
If indeed it turns out the Post Office, a private entity chartered by the government, is acting as an agent of the Democratic Party to not only spy on Americans but to target and disrupt opponents of the Democratic Party, then this would be sedition and rebellion against these United States by virtue of the gross assault upon the Bill of Rights liberties that are being violated.
Reputationally, the Post Office, having allegedly aligned itself with only Democrats as their special institution, would lose massively and if or when Republicans gained power again serious efforts to dismantle such a rogue entity would likely be considered.
The Post Office has some explaining to do and if anyone was using its resources to violate the rights of any American, those people should be tried and, of found guilty, sent to jail for treason.
In a rambling speech, President Ramaphosa sought to calm the situation as looters raged throughout numerous locales in an apparent protest against the jailing of fomer President Zuma. While the looting is a serious problem, causing the call-out of the Army and a meeting of all political party heads to develop a unified repsonse, the sensational headlines that claim South Africa is collapsing are inaccurate.
South Africa is in crisis, and all such crises CAN lead to an unraveling, but the forces of civil unity appear to have the upper hand overall, at least for now. Troops have been called out in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal provinces, with the latter being Zuma’s homeland. But the looters can hardly be said to be legitimately “protesting” and many doubt this is more than an opportunistic event than an actual public outpouring of support for the former President.
Perhaps real blame lies with Economic Freedom Fighters Party head Julius Malema, a fireband radical neocommunist agitator who has threatened genocide against whites and the rich. Malema’s party has promised to “join” the looters if the Army was called out of barracks. The EFF have been working hard to destabilize South Africa and conduct their own revolution which would plunge the country into race war, not just whites against blacks, but all the racial identifies with one another, and the rich against the poor.
While it is too soon to see if the looters themselves were organized, as it is alleged, by payments from EFF backers to key agitators, it is certainly something that authorities will have to investigate.
Former President Jacob Zuma on 29 June 2021 became the first South African president since the end of white-minority rule in 1994 to receive a prison sentence. South Africa’s Constitutional Court issued a 15-month sentence for contempt of court after Zuma defied an earlier court order to return and testify before the Zondo Commission.
On 7 July 2021, Zuma handed himself over to the police and was admitted to the Estcourt Correctional Centre in his home province of KwaZulu-Natal.
Zuma still has his backers, and some say this current dustup is really an internal power srruggle, but the former President was widely believed to be corrupt during his almost 9 years as President, from 2009 to 2018.
President Ramaphosa’s speech, in which he urged calm, was widely panned but all parties save the EFF agreed to back his present measures and to do their part to calm their supporters. But with the army deployed, the looting continued.
KwaZulu-Natal premier Sihle Zikalala told the press on Tuesday morning, “Yesterday’s events brought a lot of sadness. The number of people who have died in KwaZulu-Natal alone stands at 26. Many of them died from being trampled on during a stampede while people were looting items.”
The total death toll stands at 32.
The looting and violence are mostly limited to Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal.
“What we are witnessing now are opportunistic acts of criminality, with groups of people instigating chaos merely as a cover for looting and theft,” South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said in a late-evening address on Monday.
Looting is bad, and it could get worse, it may be insitgated by the EFF and/or the Zuma wing of the ANC, as he challenges his sentencing, but South Africa isn’t “collapsing” and most of its people are standing against the madness.
OPINION BY BILL COLLIER- Fox News reports a widely known fact: when it comes to the protests in Cuba, Democrats aren’t silent just because they don’t know what to say. Their brand of woke communism may differ from Cuba’s state communism, but the desire Fidel Castro and his mafia-like Party had for total monopoly power seems to have captured the very soul of the Democratic Party, a party base of totalitarian loons whose respect for this country, and the Bill of Rights especially, is extremely low.
Sanders whitewashed the “authoritarianism” he pretended to oppose, according to this quote:
“We’re very very opposed to the authoritarian nature of Cuba but you know, it’s unfair to simply say everything is bad,” Sanders explained. “You know? When Fidel Castro came into office, you know what he did? He had a massive literacy program. Is that a bad thing? Even though Fidel Castro did it?”
The old “Mussolini made the trains run on time” bit.
But it wasn’t just Sanders who Fox got no statement from on Cuba, see this:
Fox News also reached out to the White House for comment. Press Secretary Jen Psaki referred Fox News to the National Security Council, which then referred to Psaki’s comments on Cuba during an interview with MSNBC. Psaki addressed the lack of fundamental resources in Cuba during that interview.
Fox News has also reached out to State Department spokesman Ned Price but has not heard back.
Jake Sullivan, the White House national security adviser, took to Twitter to say the “U.S. supports freedom of expression and assembly across Cuba, and would strongly condemn any violence or targeting of peaceful protesters who are exercising their universal rights.”
All in all, Democrats likely hope the Cuban regime shuts this down quick before people in this country get the “wrong” idea that any form of communism, even the woke communist parternship between corporate monopolies and the state all under the aegis of the Democratic Party, are bad.
But while Democrats in US cities riot, loot, burn, and murder their way into power, Democrats also condemn any “violence” by protestors against a brutal, violent regime.
That’s it. “We are OK with some protesting, but let’s not get too rowdy as the police beat and brutalize you!”
Totalitarianism is the first insctinct and true love of the Democratic Party.
Meanwhile, Senator Rubio ripped Biden in a Washington Times report for not being a strong advocate for freedom, perhaps because he doesn’t realize that for Biden et al, the fall of the Cuban regime might put the spotlight on their own woke communism.
“The people of #Cuba bravely take to the streets against 62 years of socialist tyranny. 12 hours later President @joebiden @POTUS has yet to say a word about it,” Rubio wrote.
The President isn’t concerned about social justice or equity or any of the buzzwords his handlers tell him to use. He represents a narrow interest, a party base, who see in Castro, Mao, and Stalin role models to follow, not dictatorships that should be overthrown.
Back in March, the woke communist Party (Democrats) urged President Biden to back a return to the rapprochement with Cuba under Castro fanboy, President Obama. The Democrats want for Cuba what they wanted for China, favorable trade deals that may hurt the US but enrich the communist regime. Democrats are by and large woke communists and internationalists who want a “global regimen” for “climate change” and other bogeymen.
Their interests, and the reason why they seek to deconstruct US History through extreme and disproportionate exaggeration of our flaws and mistakes, is precisely because they envision a world under a global structure managed by woke communist types in corporations and governments working together.
The bottom line is, the Democratic Party does not want the Cuban regime to fall.
Democrat Representative Mary Miller of Illinois actually claimed that Hitler was right about one thing: the need to indoctrinate children and turn them away from their own parents. This on the heels of a San Francisco gay men’s choir singing they are coming for your children and promising to use schools to convert them.
We’ve gone from “honor thy father and mother”, to brainwashing children to defy and despise their parents. This is literally being taught by public teachers in public schools, thanks to the woke communists at the NEA, and the end goal is exactly what Hitler created, a totalitarian dictatorship.
What else do the Democrats want to emulate in the Nazis to turn this country into a totalitarian hellscape, which is their goal? Public schools in America have become the enemy to children, to parents, and to freedom in general and most all public teachers are either afraid and complicit or actively engaged in this criminal behavior.
It is criminal, as in a crime against humanity, what the public schools wre doing. It’s not just critical race theory, it is woke communism being crammed down your children’s throats and gender-bending over-sexualized perversion all being inculcated into your children’s hearts and mind and turning them into damaged human beings. Public schools are INSPIRED by the brutal indoctrination of the Nazis in German schools, that’s a fact we must wake up to.
As Cubans take to the streets, waving American flags and chanting “Freedom!”, the chances of this becoming a real revolution against the Communist revolution are growing.
Confidential sources revealed to the Freedomist, “Cuban generals are leaving the island. Something’s going on, the protests are just the tip of the iceberg. Cubans are about to rise.” This source is in Cuba.
Then there’s this from Congressman Kevin McCarthy:
A Cuban uprising to oust the communist regime may be long overdue, but are the US and Latin America ready for the fallout?
Cuba’s government had locked down the internet and are controlling movement within Havana in what may be a desperate attempt to nip this in the bud. The protests began as a response to slow distribution of Covid-19 vaccines but have begun to demand freedom from the dictatorship.
Cubans are out en mass and now we get a possible scenario where the generals are leaving in haste. This may or may not be the end of the regime, but it will be the beginning of the end, we predict.
The protests occured in least 25 locations, people shouting “down with the dictatorship” and “freedom”, as police randomly arrested some protestors and grappled with others, failing to make an arrest. The wide-spread nature of the protests and the fact so many people are coming out is described by our source as “unsettling.”
Multiple posts on Twitter from many cities show large crowds in the thousands. But while there are protestors, the Cuban regime does also have its strong supporters, true believers, however mostly older people and party members who enjoy more benefits. Younger people, who have begun to see the greater world through the internet, are hungry for a better life and more opportunities, which a top-down, planned economy run by bureaucrats isn’t able to sustain.
While it is true, and cannot be dismissed, that the embargo of Cuba by the US has certainly curtailed economic growth, islanders may see the radical destabilizing policies of the regime, which seeks to export its authoritarianism abroad, as contributing to its pariah status. The Cuban economic morass cannot be mostly attributed to the effects of the embargo.
Not surprisingly, the UN, including 184 nations, called on the US to lift the embargo on the island nation and sided with the regime in blaming the embargo on the lack of response to Covid-19. But the citizenry aren’t having it and know where to lay the blame, something the rather totalitarian favoring UN cannot possibly grasp. If one ever needed proof most of the countries in this world side with dictatorships, this should be it.
The official UN news account did add this:
Meanwhile, Political Coordinator for the US Mission, Rodney Hunter, said during the vote that sanctions are “one set of tools in Washington’s broader effort toward Cuba to advance democracy, promote respect for human rights, and help the Cuban people exercise fundamental freedoms”.
He underscored that despite the blockade, the US recognizes “the challenges of the Cuban people” and therefore, the US was “a significant supplier of humanitarian goods to the Cuban people and one of Cuba’s principal trading partners”.
“Every year we authorize billions of dollars’ worth of exports to Cuba, including food and other agricultural commodities, medicines, medical devices, telecommunications equipment, other goods, and other items to support the Cuban people. Advancing democracy and human rights remain at the core of our policy efforts”, he said.
The US has not stifled the importation of medical supplies but the blockade is meant to stifle the economic flexing of a regime who, it is clear, would use that power to destabilize its neighbors. That being said, the blockade hasn’t worked and has mostly just made it hard on the people and easier for a corrupt regime to blame it on the regime’s own failed economic policies.
The only difference now is, many Cubans have had enough and are no longer willing to listen to the excuses which 184 countries at the behest of the corrupt UN are willing to swallow.
President Miguel Diaz-Canel blamed the U.S. for stoking the anger, according to the Washington Post.
“The order to fight has been given – into the street, revolutionaries!” he said in an address, according to the BBC.
So as Democrats demand “peaceful” behavior on the part of protestors, they have nothing to say about this invective by the regime.
Bill Collier- A so-called “global minimum tax” represents a 20th century paradigm; the wasteful shot-callers who cannot evolve past the industrial age are attempting to corral the world backwards into their own old top-down, centralized hierarchy of control. Basically, and to be blunt, it is an assault on freedom not warranted by any of the hobgoblin manufactured crises or any pretended benefit to anyone except for the extremely wealthy who don’t actually ever pay such taxes.
The Republicans, who love to soundbite for freedom and prosperity like Democrats love to soundbite for equity and justice, have no real principled response. They are quibbling over details rather than blasting this idea as insanity that is only meant to turn the clock back to the 20th century industrial age when a big boss with all the money and power lorded it over the cogs in their machine whose only real value was profit to the owners.
The “global minimum tax” (GMT) is an archaic proposal from another age that is best left behind. The massive super-state, centralized industrial economy, must be set aside once and for all to favor new forms and expressions of sovereignty and freedom between individuals in freewill participation. Decentralization, localization, jurisdictional competition, citizens as customers rather than subjects, private cities, and the general supremacy of faith, family, and community over politics are the ways of the future. This archaic response is meant to hinder the advancement of human flourishing because such advancements do not tend toward the benefit of the ruling class.
It is for this reason the Republicans, many who have also become corporate puppets, offer a lame response not worthy of any Party claiming the mantle of freedom and prosperity for all.
This is how their “objections” begin- “There has been consistent bipartisan, bicameral support in Congress for the OECD as the appropriate venue to address the digitalization of the economy, potentially including changes to longstanding global tax rules. However, the OECD project would be counterproductive if the Administration’s negotiating position concedes ground to foreign counterparties and harms the U.S. economy. “
How about, “The Global Minimum Tax is a power grab by the ruling class over working people that we will defy and defeat with every ounce of our being?”
This isn’t a response, this is collaboration.
They add, incredibly, and in betrayal of all their claims to be the party of freedom and prosperity:
The global minimum tax must be fair to American workers and companies – any special rates or exemptions offered to foreign competition must be available to Americans.
The global profit allocation formula, including any carve-outs and special inclusions, must not disproportionately affect Americans.
The targeting of American workers and companies by foreign governments must end immediately.
No, The right response is, “there must NEVER, ever, be ANY form of global tax or global minimum tax. This isn’t the 20th century, this isn’t the industrial age. This is the 21st century, the information and decentralization age.”
But, as we are of a wont to say, over and over, the Republicans are collaborationists, not opponents, to the global war on freedom Their soundbites are meaningless, their action belie their stated intentions.
The GMT won’t do anything more than potentially slow progress. The civilizational paradigm shift that is coming thanks to technology and global communications won’t be held back by such draconian chicanery. But in the mean time, this “throwback authoritarianism” to the 20th century will do real harm to millions of people before it finally collapses under its own weight.
The GOP isn’t an opposition party. They are collaborationists with the ruling class, hell-bent on lining their pockets and keeping the mere crumbs the Democrats throw to them. This response by Senator Crapo of Idaho and Republican Leader, Representative Kevin Brady of the 8th District in Texas, is a collaborationist love fest compared to what is necessary.
They didn’t oppose anything and everything connected to this global power grab and for that reason they are abject and miserable failures.
President Biden’s zero carbon plan, which he plans to ramrod through using the legerdemain of “budget reconciliation”, is a plan that will dramatically raise energy costs for the poor and middle class and, because of its approach, increase poverty.
The plan is to make all US power “100% carbon free” by 2035, an ambitious plan that necessitates switching to much more expensive “alternative energy”, possibly among which natural gas with carbon capture (not commercially viable) and nuclear energy (vehemently opposed by his core base).
The effect would be threefold: discarding power plants that took hundreds of billions of dollars to use, building new power plants that will be exponentially more expensive and will face “environmental impact” reviews and delays, and the actual cost of the energy, which will be exponentially higher for consumers.
Once again a politician, chasing a histrionic bogeyman (“climate change spells doom!”), offers a massive, disruptive, top-down solution that is expensive and authoritarian. The top-down approach means, instead of promoting individual and local energy independence through house-portable and house-affordable solutions, the Biden team, egged on by utopian extremists, is focusing on a typical OBS (“one big system”) approach that will continue to keep people dependent on massive structures over which they have no influence.
The “house portable and house affordable” solution requires changing local ordinances to promote alternative building methods that are massively more energy efficient, investing heavily in solar and wind technologies for home use and providing the blueprints free to the public, and providing real incentives to individuals to adopt an individual and local energy independence approach.
The truth is, those who claim to care about the dangers of climate change and/or pollution, both legitimate concerns, are refusing to adopt an approach that truly empowers individuals. Instead, not wanting a good crisis to go to waste, they opt for an OBS approach that perpetuates dependency and concentrates yet more wealth and power in their hands.
The level of poverty will rise not because of seeking alternative energy solutions but because the top-down OBS approach is expensive, inefficient, and disempowering to individuals and the marketplace.
Stating the the effectiveness of Pfizer’s vaccine in preventing a Covid-19 infection fell from 95% to 64%, Israel’s Ministry of Health also said it was 93% effective at preventing serious illness or hospitalization, in a Tweet in July 5, 2021.
The “delta variant” is spreading in Israel which, despite 57.3% of the population being fullt vsccinated, Israel is seeing a spike in cases, an average of 372 per day as of July 7th, but nothing near the average of over 6,000 per day in January of 2021. However, vaccinated people are still getting sick with the delta variant and while hospitalizations are not jumping, there is some sense the promised immunity has not materialized.
Still, while there has been an uptic in cases, there has yet to be a corresponding uptic in deaths, with one death on July 5th.
Haiti’s President, Jovenel Moise, was killed on July 7th by a cammando of foreign mercenaries who portrayed themselves as US DEA agents prior to storming his home. The question is, why was he killed and by whom?
Moise was alleged to have ties to Haiti’s criminal gangs whose violence has been plaguing the nation’s populace. The fact the mercenary force claimed to be DEA agents, and were captured on video yelling “stand down, stand down” in an American accent, may be itself a statement as to the motive of the actual shot-caller who ordered the hit.
Another possibility is that one of the gangs had a beef for the President and thus ordered s hit.
Prime Minister Claud Joseph has now assumed the authority to succeed the President and while direct accusations of his complicity have not surfaced, anyonen investigating this assassination is likely to consider this possibility.
According to AP, in a report on Yahoo News, Jospeh said, “We need every single one to move the country forward.” Referencing enemies of the president, Joseph called the President ‘’a man of courage” who had opposed ‘’some oligarchs in the country, and we believe those things are not without consequences.”
At one point the commandos held three Haitian police hostage in a house they were occupying but they later surrendered. Four commandos were killed and two were captured. But running gun battles with the commandos continued as the acting successor claimed Haitian police would hunt them all down and kill or capture them.
There had been a series of protests, some violent, against his rule, which was becoming more authoritarian, and his inept handling of the economy and the security situation. His death, while shocking, has not been universally mourned inside Haiti.
He has been ruling by decree after failing to hold elections and an upcoming national election in September was the cause of tensions and violence within the country as of late.
During the attack his wife, Martine, was wounded seriously and is now in Miami, Florida, where she is in stable but critical condition. No doubt her survival was not planned by the assassins.
The attack was condemned by the opposition even as the acting successor declared a state of siege but also promised upcoming elections would still occur as planned.
Meanwhile the interim Prime Minister who claims power, was actually replaced the day prior by Joseph, who appointed Ariel Henry. Henry had not yet been sworn in to office and claims to be the Prime Minister while Jospeh, the replaced interim Prime Minister, claims that as the newly appointed Henry hadn’t taken office, he is not the Prime Minister.
Regardless, the US government is clearly backing Jospeh and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken called him, assuring him of US assistance.
For the most part, excepting the bit about us being a democracy, what Joe Biden said about how we define being American is essentially true. Here are his words:
“I’ve often said that America is the only nation in the world founded on an idea,” Biden said. “Every other nation in the world is founded on the basis of either that — geography or ethnicity or religion. You can define every — almost everyone else based on those characteristics, but you can’t define America. I defy you to tell me what constitutes an American. You can’t do it. We’re an incredibly diverse democracy.”
“But there is one thing that does define us a country: We were founded on an idea that, ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men [and women] are created equal…endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights…Life, Liberty, [and] the pursuit of Happiness,’” he added. “It sounds corny to Americans, as we learn this in grade school and high school. We’ve never fully lived up to it, but we’ve never, ever, ever walked away from it. Every generation opens that aperture a little bit wider.”
Basically, he is saying America isn’t based on geography, race, or religion. While our highest idea, that everyone is created with certain inalienable rights, among which life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, hasn’t been lived up to completely, we have never walked away from it. And, as he said, every generation opens that aperture a little bit wider.
President Biden is right.
His base of supporters, however, don’t see it that way. Critical race theory, which is based on totalitarian disregard for human dignity and human rights, is actually a deliberate walking away from this central idea. Radical, violent, irrational, and intolerant to the maximum, Biden’s rioting mobs which helped him into office after some serious electoral chicanery, are diametrically opposed to America’s great idea!
So how can President Biden rely on a base of supporters who don’t actually embrace this, like NPR who essentially denounced the Declaration of Independence as being “deeply flawed”? How can President Biden push CRT so hard when its central idea is quite literally totalitarianism?
(The chief aim of “critical theory”, of which CRT is a subset, like “Marxist Racism”, is the justification of totalitarianism.)
America as a union of commonwealths, small republics, and national peoples can become a diverse, pluralistic, free society of equals in terms of opportunity and treatment under the law where this great central idea reigns. But the growing authoritarian response, especially, but not exclusively, from the left and Democrats in this land to every real, histrionic, or outright fake (bogeyman) problem is moving us backwards significantly for the first time in our history.
If President Biden or others want to insinuate or claim that an American “nation” exists whose only idea is this, even though this is, broadly speaking, a great idea, then they don’t understand how national identity creates and enables a form of organic cohesiveness. This organic cohesiveness allows vast numbers of people to act in their own individual self-interest while serving a greater good and shared purpose without the need to rely on a top-down system of control.
Nationhood without strong shared beliefs (especially religious), values, and convictions just isn’t a thing. But in a country with a dwindling ‘Christian” majority, most of whom do not hold consistently to historic Christian orthodoxy, making being a Christian a condition of being an American is intolerance and untenable.
America is a country, not a nation. And that’s OK. If the great idea of this country is something like freedom based on virtue, liberty, and independence, then this is a good thing as well. It is the basis of a true “empire of liberty” that acts as a homeland and protector to multiple nations of people within.
I’m an American because I love this country, I embrace its big idea for freedom with liberty and justice for all, I reject bigotry, racism, and intolerance, and I respect the original spirit and intent of our Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights as the highest ethical and moral law of this land.
America isn’t a nation and it isn’t a nationality! Therefore, any persons or national peoples within our borders who start with respecting this big idea would fit in with and enhance this country.
There was a time when the American nation was almost exclusively Christian in character and beliefs, but never was it based solely or mostly on ancestry. Times changed and America has lost a national character based on Judeo-Christian beliefs and values to become this diverse union where citizenship and adoption of our great idea was all that made you an American.
Whether for good or ill, America is a country without a distinct national identity in the sense of the classical, ancient concept of nationhood. We are a country, not a nation, but a country whose core identity is supposed to be freedom with liberty and justice for all.
While for the most part President Biden said the right things, his reliance on a radical base who defy those things and his policies that undermine those things make his words as hollow as those who may have signed the Declaration of Independence while owning slaves.
