Financial Aid Wealth Redistribution Plan by US Universities Exposed?

Mark Clouse January 11, 2022

It appears as many as 170,000 former undergraduate students who recevied some form of partial financial aid may be eligible to compensation from the Universities they attended.

According to the Wall Street Journal, American Universities, including Harvard and Yale, have been allegedly weighting consideration of a student’s ability to potentially pay off a loan to how much money they receive in financial aid.

The suit alleges that students who were deemed to be more likely to pay got less financial aid. If true, it sounds like these Neo-Marxianesque institutions of thought control have illegally engaged in redistributing wealth. This fits perfectly with their institutional values. The problem is, that financial aid was coming from American taxpayers, not the Chinese Communist Party.

Lawsuit alleges 16 major US universities including Yale and Georgetown broke antitrust laws by using a shared methodology to determine student financial aid.

Yale University is among more than a dozen higher education institutions in the United States that are being sued for allegedly breaking antitrust laws and unfairly limiting financial aid awards for students, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported (paywall) on Monday…..

Intel Erases Uyghur Homeland to Appease Chairman Xi

Parker Davis January 11, 2022

Another American mega-corp with international power and growing Chinese dependence has used its power to convert its corporate environment fundamentally to the anti-American model of CRT, that supposes white people invented liberty and racism for reasons.
That some corporation that has joined the billionaire’s call to fight fascism is purging any mention of a region where genocide and concentration camps are currently both reality, the Xinjian region, the home of the Uyghurs, a non-Han race that the race-supremacist Chinese Communist Party hopes to eradicate and/or assimilate.
Their goal is to have a pure Han race that acts as Uncle to the rest of the inferior races of the world, and that nation-state, run by a fascistic Chinese Communist party, is given more deference and respect than Intel would ever extend to any American citizen preaching the gospel of the Bill of Rights.
So Intel bends for Xi while aiding in the destruction of the American Republic, the end of Rule of Law, so we, in the end, look just like China.

Intel Blasted on Social Media Over China

Excerpt:

Intel (INTC) – Get Intel Corporation Report was being blasted on social media Monday for removing references to the Chinese region of Xinjiang from an open letter it sent to suppliers last month after the contents of the note sparked an uproar in China.

Intel last month published a letter to its global suppliers on its website calling on its business partners to avoid sourcing from the northwestern Chinese region, according to The Wall Street Journal.

“Multiple governments have imposed restrictions on products sourced from the Xinjiang region,” the letter said. “Therefore, Intel is required to ensure our supply chain does not use any labor or source goods or services from the Xinjiang region.”

Reuters has reported that United Nations experts and human-rights groups estimate that more than a million people are detained in camps in Xinjiang.

The detainees include Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities, the news service reported.

Intel was denounced by Chinese social-media users and…

Tesla Car Mines for Bitcoins to Earn its Keep

Freedomist Editor January 11, 2022

A bitcoin miner is using his Tesla car to power his Bitcoin mining rig and he just might be making a profit doing it. So far, Siraj Raval is claiming he is making $800 a month with his 2018 Tesla Model 3.

Guy Pays For Tesla By Using It To Mine Bitcoin

Excerpt:

CNBC may have found the last guy you want to talk to at a party. Siraj Raval is using his 2018 Tesla Model 3 to mine cryptocurrencies and says he’s made up to $800 a month in the process.

But how did he do it… and more importantly, was it worth it? We’ll get to the second part of the question in a bit. As for how, Raval says he plugged an inverter into a power socket in his car and used it to power a computer running Bitcoin-mining software. He has also hooked up GPUs to the Model 3’s frunk and ran the machines off of the car’s internal battery.

He spends about 20 hours a day mining with his Tesla Batteries and that he pays between $30 and $60 a month to charge the batteries.

Even though hacking into a Tesla to mine Bitcoin (an insane sentence) risks voiding the car’s warranty, Raval told CNBC that it’s worth it.

But again… was it worth it? Well, according to CNBC, profits depend a lot on when the driver bought the car. Another Tesla Crypto-miner, Chris…

Sotomayor Spits Medical Misinformation at Vaccine Mandate Hearing

Paul Collier January 10, 2022

Sonia Sotomayor claimed in a vaccine mandate hearing that over 100,000 children were in the hospital because of Covid and “many are on ventilators.” The CDC confirmed that Sotomayor was, in fact, lying when she said 100,000 children were in the hospital because of COVID.
As of right now, there are only a few thousand total children that have actually had to go the hospital for Covid, and a few hundred that have been on ventilators.
The fact that a sitting justice can be so grossly uninformed about the matter she is adjudicating is frighting for Americans that still value the Rule of Law. Clearly, Sotomayor believes in a more emotional approach to adjudicating, where the factuality of semantics is overridden by your feelings that are far superior to the subhumans just outside your elite tribe of noble understanding and being.

Fox News Hosts Confronts CDC Director Over Sotomayor’s Claim About Children With COVID

Excerpt:

Fox News anchor Bret Baier confronted Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Rochelle Walensky on Sunday, urging her to counter inaccurate claims about children hospitalized with COVID-19 made by Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor during a hearing this week.

The nation’s top court on Friday heard arguments for and against President Joe Biden‘s mandate that America’s large companies must require employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19 or take regular tests to ensure they do not have the novel coronavirus. While conservative justices appeared skeptical of the mandate, liberal justices—including Sotomayor—appeared supportive.

Sotomayor faced significant criticism, however, after she incorrectly claimed that
“over 100,000 children” were seriously ill with COVID-19, with “many on ventilators.” Government data actually showed as of January 8 that only a few thousand children were hospitalized with confirmed or suspected COVID-19—as some awaited the results of a…

Facebook Gets Targeted by Left for Cancellation Over Bugaloo Platforming

Paul Collier January 10, 2022

Despite all Mark Zuckerberg’s efforts to utilize his multi-billion dollar platform to cut off dissent from the DNC during the 2020 election, his allies for whom he threw away any shred of credibility and good branding Facebook might have had are thanking him for pressing to have Facebook be held to account for their role in spreading the dread “Boogaloo Movement” that almost destroyed our precious mass mailer democracy on January 6th.
The movement itself, the one engineered and manipulated by the billionaire class of the DNC, is wholly consumptive in nature. Nothing can stand, for ‘everything is racist, everything is bigoted and it all needs to be challenged,” including any institution that today thinks its safe from the antifa-shirted mob because it enforces the draconian moral supremacist revenge-based code of what I regularly call corpowoketarianizm, the corporate-statized version of what once was more ubiquitously called ‘social justice.’

Facebook may face consequences for providing violent ‘Boogalo’ movement with online platform

The lawsuit, filed by the sister of David Patrick Underwood—the federal security officer who was gunned down by two “Boogaloo” adherents in Oakland in June 2020—argues that Facebook’s algorithms drew the killer and his coconspirator together, enabling their vicious crimes.

“The shooting was not a random act of violence,” the lawsuit contends. “It was the culmination of an extremist plot hatched and planned on Facebook by two men who Meta connected through Facebook’s groups infrastructure and its use of algorithms designed and intended to increase user engagement and, correspondingly, Meta’s profits.”

Angela Underwood Jacobs contends that Facebook officials were aware that their platform was a recruitment tool for Boogaloo believers, but it failed to stop recommending their pages until after Underwood’s death.

“Facebook Inc. knew or could have reasonably foreseen that one or more individuals would be likely to become radicalized upon joining…

China Looks to be Targeting Its Neighbors for Expansion

Paul Collier January 10, 2022

Chairman Xi of the People’s Republic of China is moving to prepare his forces to expand into land areas all around her. A new land boundary law, coupled with new types of military training focus are leaving many of China’s neighbors wondering if they’re next in China’s efforts to expand her territory and take resources from her direct neighbors, as opposed to the colonization method of harvesting resources from her distant neighbors (Africa, looking hard at you, my friend).

As the Beijing Olympics are being prepared, China appears to be preparing for something quite opposite to world peace, even as she brutalizes her own people from within she hopes to extend that same authority over the lives of hundreds of millions of humans living just outside their hungry borders.

China’s new land boundary law fits in with its expansionism

Excerpt:

…..Another factor, a Training Mobilisation Order (TMO) issued by Xi Jinping in January 2020 called for “confrontational training” for its troops and officers to assess their preparedness, especially in light of the new reforms undertaken by the PLA. Both these factors seem to be the tactical beginnings of China’s grand strategy which also saw China flexing in the South China Sea and Taiwan, almost simultaneously. The latest in the series of aggressive Chinese actions is the use of lawfare through the passing of the “Land Boundary Law” on October 21 which became effective this week.

The law formalises and legalises China’s geographic creep towards Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh and parts of eastern Ladakh and creates conditions for using newly-constructed border villages close to the LAC for claiming sovereignty over disputed areas. The import of the law is most critical for India but will affect China’s disputes with other countries too. What China has done, therefore, is convert a territory dispute over borders into a sovereignty dispute which precludes any give or take of territory.

Cows Get VR Pastures While They Milk

A Farmer from Turkey is using VR Headsets to help his cows feel better about their lives as they stand in their stalls ready to give milk to the squeezer or the pumper. The cows wear VR headsets that makes them think they’re in a wonderful pasture. The plan is to get the cows to relax to be more milk-giving for the squeezer or the pumper, and, so far, it seems to be working.

A farmer in Turkey says he’s purchased VR headsets for his cows so they’ll produce more milk and be less anxious.

On its face, a giant barn full of cows with headsets strapped to their furry faces to increase profitability seems pretty dystopian — but as Turkish news outlet Anadolu Ajansi reported this week, it does seem to be working.

“We get an average of 22 liters of milk per day from the cows in our farm,” Izzet Kocak said in the video, translated into English. “The milk average of the two cows [that] wore virtual reality glasses was up to 27 liters.”

China Will Allow Religious Freedom that Affir

China Allows Religious Freedom that Affirms Glory of the Party, the State, and Xi

Freedomist Editor January 10, 2022

Chairman Xi used his nation-state’s New Years Eve address to attempt to placate the world that China is a tolerant state and not grossly violating the rights of its own citizens and anyone else, especially the Uighurs, that live inside its borders.
In the address, Chairman Xi expressed tolerance for different religions and beliefs so long as all of them echoed the most important truth to the people of China, the critical necessity of the party and the state in fulfilling their lives, no matter what ‘path’ that might be.
It’s called Cultural Nationalism, and it demands that every belief system essentially echo the beliefs of the Chinese Communist Party. Jesus becomes a Socialist parable about how to sacrifice yourself to the people, represented by the state, crystalized in the leadership and semi-divinity of Chairman Xi.

Jinping’s fallback on cultural nationalism

From www.thehansindia.com
2022-01-09 20:32:30

Excerpt:

In his New Year message to the nation, Chinese President Xi Jinping carried forward the process of what has aptly been called ‘Sinicization of Marxism.’ He referred to the ‘great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation’ in progress and particularly appreciated the youth who have pledged to the Party ‘to make their country strong’ and ‘save their pure true love for the motherland.’

He talked of the historical convergence of the two centenary goals in the year gone by – realisation of a ‘moderately progressive society in all respects after eliminating extreme poverty’ on one hand, and launch of the mission of ‘building a modern Socialist country for great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation’ on the other – crediting the Chinese Communist Party (CPC) for both.

Stating that this progress is not going to be easy, Xi struck a note on cultural moorings of Chinese nationalism by referring to Yellow River and the Yangtze River as the two ‘mother rivers of the Chinese nation’ and reaching out to ‘our compatriots overseas’ to compliment them for working so hard.

At the same time, religious affairs in China have been put under stricter watch since 2015 when Sinicization was introduced. Over the years, religious beliefs have attracted party control – they have been pushed towards ‘alignment with Chinese culture’ and rejection of foreign influence.

Importantly, it is against the backdrop of accusations of repression in China on Muslims, Christians and Tibetan Buddhists that Xi Jinping addressed a national conference on ‘work related to religious affairs’ held at Beijing in early December and highlighted the need for religions ‘to adapt to Socialist society in the Chinese context.’

He made a significant observation that ‘while freedom of belief was to be fully implemented,’ religion should act as the bridge connecting ‘Party and the Government’ with the people and enjoined upon religious personages and believers to enhance the recognition of ‘motherland, Chinese nation, Chinese…

The world unique achievement took place in Trollhättan, Sweden in December 2021, when an Everdrone autonomous drone delivered a defibrillator that helped save the life of a 71-year-old man.

The Emergency Medical Aerial Delivery service (EMADE), developed by Gothenburg-based company Everdrone, was put to the toughest of tests on the morning of 9th December 2021. In the Swedish city of Trollhättan, a 71-year-old man was shovelling snow in his driveway when he suffered an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Thanks to the combination of an immediate emergency call, the quick actions of Dr. Mustafa Ali and the swift delivery of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED), lifesaving measures through defibrillation could be initiated before the arrival of the ambulance. The time from the alarm until the AED was safely delivered at the doorstep of the incident address was just over three minutes. After the initial treatment on site, the patient was rushed to the hospital and is today fully recovered.
